PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Corporate Background

 

Elite Data Services, Inc., (“DEAC”), formerly Dynamic Energy Alliance Corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Florida on November 23, 1981 as Mammathetics Corp. On November 4, 2013 the Board of Directors approved the proposal to change the name of the company from Dynamic Energy Alliance Corporation to Elite Data Services, Inc.

 

From 1981 through the first quarter of 2011, the Company’s business was that of a marketer of tumor detection equipment. On March 9, 2011, the Company shifted its focus to the recoverable energy sector. In 2013, the Company transitioned its operations to offering web-based marketing services for the automotive industry through owned and operated online platforms. Further, in 2014, the Company acquired licensing and distribution rights to operate gaming machines in Honduras and Roatan.

 

Today, the Company is a technology driven management company which owns and operates online marketing and gaming businesses. The Company is currently comprised of two (2) subsidiaries: Elite Data Marketing LLC, and Elite Gaming Ventures LLC.

 

On August 26, 2016, the Company and the controlling shareholders of WOD Market LLC ("WOD"), a Colorado limited liability company (“WOD”), executed a definitive agreement (the "WOD Definitive Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interest in WOD, a Colorado based provider of intelligent retail solutions for gym owners and coaches, in the form of three (3) separate closings, the first closing on the date of executions, the second closing on or before September 15, 2016, and the third and final closing on or before October 15, 2016, subject to certain terms and conditions more fully described under Subsequent Events in Item 12 herein.

 

Overview of Business and Operations

 

Online Marketing Platforms

 

On January 13, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Baker Myers and Associates, LLC (“Baker Myers”) to acquire certain assets including, www.classifiedride.com, an online classified listing website where private sellers can buy, sell, and trade their vehicle. ClassifiedRide provides a classified listing platform where users list their vehicle, truck, boat (i.e. anything that has a motor) to the Company’s website (either by free or paid listing options). The main premise of the website is to aid the private seller in selling or trading their vehicle. The Company, in turn, then works as the community leader to establish relationships between buyers and sellers using social media platforms and consumer customer support incentives. These relationships are used to generate revenue from private sellers, dealerships, affiliate lead providers, and third party advertisers.

 

On January 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Baker Myers LLC for 51% of the membership interest of Autoglance, LLC, a Tennessee Limited Liability Company, and with it majority control over all owned assets of Autoglance, LLC, including the website www.autoglance.com (collectively “Autoglance”) for 765,000 shares the Company’s common stock as consideration. Autoglance is a search engine of used cars that prioritizes and compares inventory in individualized markets by displaying the best deals first while hiding listings that are older, more expensive, and have more mileage. Autoglance currently has a provisional patent for this method of organizing and displaying vehicles. More specifically, Autoglance’s invention group’s vehicles of the same make and model in a market location to determine the best price based on the market value of the vehicle. Vehicles that are deemed worse deals are hidden from the user. The user cans easily see hidden cars if he/she wishes by the click of a button.

On May 20, 2016, the Company executed an Assignment of Ownership Interest with its newly formed subsidiary, Elite Data Marketing LLC, pursuant to which the Company assigned and transferred (A) a certain amount of Company's ownership interest held in www.classifiedride.com, an online classified listing website (the "ClassifiedRide"), equal to an aggregate total of one hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interest of the ClassifiedRide asset (the "ClassifiedRide Asset"), acquired by the Company from Baker Myers, on or about January 13, 2014, and (B) a certain amount of Company's ownership interest in Autoglance LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (the "Autoglance"), equal to an aggregate total of fifty-one percent (51%) of the units of membership interest (the "Autoglance Units"), including, but not limited to, the majority control over all owned assets of Autoglance, acquired by the Company from Baker Myers, on or about January 15, 2014.

 

Gaming Operations

 

On April 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Agreement and Promissory Note (the “Note”) with H y H Investments, S.A. (the “Seller”) for the purchase of all outstanding securities of El Muerto Beauty Mineral, Sociedad Anonima (hereafter “EMBM”) whose sole asset consists of a license to operate 80 gaming machines in La Lima, 80 gaming machines in Trujillo, and 160 gaming machines in Roatan, the largest of the bay islands of Honduras. The Company entered into contract to acquire the shares of EMBM and not the license directly as the license is in the name of EMBM. The total purchase price for the license was Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) payable in the form of a Promissory Note (the “Note”). The Company tendered $100,000 as a non-refundable good-faith deposit under the terms of the Note that is applicable towards the purchase price which allows permitted use of EMBM’s assets as long as we are in good standing in regards to our payments as further discussed below.

 

Pursuant to the first Amendment, the Company owes no further obligation under the terms of the Note until April 6, 2016, at which time $900,000 is due to the Seller, payable in the form of cash or shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the note holder. If the seller elects to convert such payment or a portion of such payment into shares, the value of the shares will be assessed at the average closing price of the common stock of the Company for the five trading days immediately proceeding April 6, 2016. If the Seller elects to receive cash, and we do not have the cash on hand to satisfy the obligation, pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Seller has the right to terminate the entire Agreement, unwind the transaction and assume ownership of the EMBM shares if the Company is unable to negotiate an extension or alternate arrangement. The remaining balance under the Note is payable up to $2,500,000 per year thereafter through March 31, 2021 by either cash payments or by a revenue-share of 25% of the net revenues received by EMBM during such time period. In the event that Seller has not received the full amount due on or before March 31, 2021, such amount due may be payable via the issuance of the Company’s shares at the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding March 31, 2021. Beginning on or after April 17, 2017, payments tendered in the Company’s common stock may be repurchased by the Company given the Seller’s approval. The Seller agreed to waive interest payments of 3.85% per annum, due in monthly installments, in exchange for a sub-license granting the Seller usage of twenty-five (25) machines in the municipality of Roatan.

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company amended the Note to reflect an effective date of April 6, 2016 in conjunction with the first payment of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000) which is due in either cash, stock, or 25% of the net revenues of EMBM’s operations. The Note was also amended to reflect the current purchase price owed ($9,900,000) April 6, 2016, which deducts the $100,000 non-refundable deposit tendered on April 6, 2015. The business purpose for this amendment was to allow the Company the proper time to incorporate a Honduras corporation to be in compliance with the laws of the Republic of Honduras to effectively be able to transact business in that municipality.

 

The license permits operation and/or distribution of gaming machines at different locations as follows: Eighty (80) gaming machines in La Lima, Eighty (80) gaming machines in Trujillo, and One Hundred and Sixty (160) gaming machines in Roatan, the largest of the bay islands of Honduras.

 (c) Revenue Share Plan. A revenue share split of any and all revenues derived from the Joint Venture (the "Revenue Share Plan") on a basis equal to twenty-five percent (25%) to EGV, and seventy-five percent (75%) to HYHI until such time as HYHI has received payment in full of the Total Consideration, and thereafter one hundred percent (100%) of the revenues shall be paid to EVG, for the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EVG shall be required to pay HYHI certain minimum licensing fee payments (the "Minimum Licensing Fee Payments") in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD $250,000.00) due and payable to HYHI on or before 31st day of each quarter, beginning on January 1, 2017, if the total amount paid to HYHI in the then prior quarter from the seventy-five percent (75%) revenue split does not exceed that amount. In the event DEAC and EGV is unable to make the Minimum Licensing Fee Payments in full when due, DEAC shall pay HYHI the amounts owed in the form of the issuance of a new convertible redeemable note (the "Licensing Redeemable Note") for each such occurrence, in the form and on the same terms and Maturity Date as set forth in the Amended and Restated Redeemable Note.

The Joint Venture also included the option of the Company and EVG to acquire the ownership of EMBM and License directly, within thirty (30) days of the date payment in full of the Total Consideration is made to HYHI pursuant to the Agreement, at which time, EVG and Company would have the right to exercise an option (the "Option") to acquire one hundred percent (100%) of EMBM, including, but not limited to, any and all assets (e.g. gaming licenses, etc.), and liabilities required to continue the gaming operation set forth by the Joint Venture, for a purchase price of (USD $10.00) (the "Option Payment"), paid by the Company to HYHI.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Current Operations

 

Today, the Company is a technology driven management company which owns and operates online marketing and gaming businesses. The Company is currently comprised of two (2) subsidiaries: Elite Data Marketing LLC, and Elite Gaming Ventures LLC.

 

On August 26, 2016, the Company and the controlling shareholders of WOD Market LLC ("WOD"), a Colorado limited liability company (“WOD”), executed a definitive agreement (the "WOD Definitive Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interest in WOD, a Colorado based provider of intelligent retail solutions for gym owners and coaches, in the form of three (3) separate closings, the first closing on the date of executions, the second closing on or before September 15, 2016, and the third and final closing on or before October 15, 2016, subject to certain terms and conditions more fully described under Subsequent Events in Item 12 herein.

Plan of Operations for 2016

 

The Company’s current plan of operations for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016 involves the continued development and growth of its online marketing and gaming businesses and to complete the closings on the WOD transaction.

 

During the year ending December 31, 2015, we made limited progress with our online marketing platforms due to lack of funding to complete required programming and coding enhancements. However, with additional funds, we anticipate the ability of bringing certain new marketing offerings to our platforms in hopes of increasing traffic flow, capturing new users and generating revenues.

 

Separately, pursuant to the terms of the Joint Venture with HYHI, we intend to implement the creation of the joint venture relationship using Elite Data Holdings S.A., a Honduras corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elite Gaming Ventures LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("EVG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and a distributor license from HYHI and El Mar Muerto Beauty Mineral, S.A., a Honduras corporation ("EMBM") to establish gaming operations (the "Purpose") by distributing and maintaining a total of eighty (80) slot machines in the cities of La Lima, Cortes; eighty (80) slot machines in the cities of Trujillo, Colon; and One Hundred and Sixty (160) slot machines in Roatan in the bay island of Honduras.

 

In order to effect the distributor license related to the gaming operations, the Company and EVG is responsible for providing any and all financial and operational resources required to execute on the License granted to the Company, including, but not limited to, the funding for the initial and ongoing operating costs in the minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $500,000) on or before December 31, 2016 (the "Initial Funding").

 

Separately, the Company intends to expand its operations in the four quarter of 2016 to include intelligent retail solutions for gym owners and coaches through the completion of the acquisition of WOD, which the Company currently owns a minority interest stake of 20% as of August 26, 2016, with 100% ownership interest anticipated to be completed on or before October 15, 2016.

 

WOD serves the fitness community by allowing coaches and trainers to focus on what’s important while athletes have access to the products they need to perform at their highest level. WOD aims to relieve gym owners and coaches of the burden of managing retail sales including upfront inventory purchases, ongoing inventory management, payments, marketing, etc. while also providing a service for members to have convenient access to products that help them perform better. WOD intends to forge a mutually beneficial relationship with each gym, customer and vendor to ensure the best possible experience.

 

Our ability to implement the phases of our business plan will be dependent on us obtaining the significant financing for these projects.

 

Going Concern

 

We do not currently have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund further phases of our business plan. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to purchase gaming machines and/or continue our website platform development and our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund our ventures, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pay our creditors and note holders on a timely basis. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we may be forced to abandon our gaming operations. As a result, investors in our common stock would most likely lose all of their investments.

 

Results from Operations - For the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014.

Our net operating loss increased $2,683,779 for our year ended December 31, 2015 from our year ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015 our operating expenses increased $881,194 from the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in expenses was mainly comprised increases in non-cash investor relation services of $264,452; non-cash warrant cost increase of $481,156, and a non-cash increase in financing costs of $169,339. Our other income and (expense) increased $1,789,166 in the current year of measurement from the prior year of measurement. This increase was due to increases on the non-cash losses on the conversion of debt of $1,800,919; an increase of a non-cash loss on derivative instruments of $285,760; a non-cash increase loss on the settlement of debt of $85,842 and an increase in interest expense of $$205,686. The non-cash settlement charge of $$85,842 was regards to the Birch First Capital Fund, LLC Settlement Agreement. These increased losses were offset by a decrease in an impairment of intangible asset of $589,041 incurred in the prior year of measurement.

 

The loss on derivative instruments incurred in the current year of measurement is associated with three convertible notes. The changes in derivative financial instruments are non-cash items and arise from adjustments to record the derivative financial instruments at fair values in accordance with pronounced accounting standards. These changes are attributable mainly to adjustments to record the change in fair value for the embedded conversion feature of derivative financial instruments and changes in the market price of our common stock, which is a component of the calculation model. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the derivative financial instruments. Because Black-Scholes uses our stock price, changes in the stock price will result in volatility to the earnings in future periods as we continue to reflect the derivative financial instruments at fair values.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2015, we had cash of $1,730 and our working capital deficit was $1,431,119. In 2015, we generated revenues of $1,596 and a net loss of $5,041,244 as compared to 2014 revenues of $15,015 and a net loss of $2,357,465. The net loss for the current period of measurement is mainly comprised of non-cash expenses aggregating $4,760,617. As of December 31, 2015, we have a cumulative net loss of $13,866,420. We are illiquid and need cash infusions from investors and/or current shareholders to deploy our current business plan.

 

The Company expects significant capital expenditures during the next 12 months, contingent upon raising additional capital. We anticipate that we will need $2,000,000 for operations for the next 12 months, and $5,000,000 for our overall development. This capital will be needed for continued development of the Company’s automotive platforms and gaming expansion.

 

The source of such capital is uncertain, and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such capital on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We have a working capital deficit and will need cash infusions from investors and/or current shareholders to deploy our current business plan.

 

To implement our business plan, we will need to continue to raise working capital in the form of equity in an amount up to $2,000,000 over the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2016 on terms and conditions to be determined. If we were unable to raise any funds from the sale of equity, management may elect to seek subsequent interim or “bridge” financing in the form of debt as may be necessary.

 

At this time, management is unable to determine the specific amounts and terms of such future financings, or whether or not we will be successful in raising such funds on a basis acceptable to us.


In order to finance the operations of the Company during the twelve months ending December 31, 2015, the Company’s management entered into a series of convertible note transactions totaling $481,500 in principal, and an equity line of credit for up to USD $5,000,000.

Recent Funding Facilities

 

On March 16, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a $120,000 Convertible Note with Iconic Holdings, LLC (“Iconic”) with a Maturity Date of March 16, 2016. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company received net proceeds of $100,000 with $10,000 being retained under an Original Issuance Discount (“OID”) and $10,000 having been paid to Iconic as legal fees pertaining to the transaction. The convertible debenture bore a one-time interest charge of 10% assessed on the outstanding principal not repaid as of the 181th day from the effective date. During the quarter ending September 30, 2015, the Company retired the note by paying $135,000 in cash with a $15,000 interest fee on the date of retirement.

 

On June 11, 2015, we issued a 12% convertible note to JSJ Investments, Inc. (“JSJ”) in the principal amount of $100,000 (net $88,000 to the company after payment of related legal and broker fees) which bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum with a maturity date of December 11, 2015. At any time after the Maturity Date, JSJ is entitled to convert all the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Note into Common Stock at a 45% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous twenty (20) trading days to the date of the conversion notice. The embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. Pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion features as a derivative liability on the date in which the note became convertible on December 11, 2015 of $82,754 and a derivative expense of the same amount. During the year ended JSJ converted $14,417 of the principle into common stock and as of December 31, 2015, the balance outstanding on the Note was $85,583 and, accrued interest was $6,625. On January 28, 2016, JSJ made a formal demand for repayment of the Note payable by February 26, 2016 and has threatened litigation if payment is not tendered. This could be considered an event of default where by JSJ could enforce the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Note so demanded (including all accrued and unpaid interest), in cash, at a price equal to 150% of the outstanding balance, plus accrued Interest and Default Interest and any other amounts then due under this Note. At the time of the filing of this Report, JSJ has converted a total of $20,690 of the principle into shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in principal balance remaining of $79,310.

 

On June 16, 2015 (“Effective Date”), we entered into a securities purchase agreement with LG Capital Funding, LLC, (“LG Capital”) pursuant to which LG Capital agreed to provide our company with an aggregate investment of $52,500 in consideration of our issuance of a convertible promissory note with 6% interest commencing June 16, 2015 and due June 16, 2016 which was convertible into common shares six months from the Effective Date at a price equal to 58% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the ten trading days on or prior to the date upon which notice of conversion is received. The note became convertible on December 16, 2016 and cannot be paid back in cash unless expressly permitted by LG Capital. At the time of the filing of this Report, LG Capital has converted a total of $10,261of the principal and interest of $374 into shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in principal balance remaining of $42,239.

 

We entered into a securities purchase agreement dated as of June 16, 2015 (“Effective Date”) with Adar Bays, LLC, pursuant to which Adar agreed to provide our company with an aggregate investment of $52,500 in consideration of our issuance of a convertible promissory note with 6% interest commencing June 16, 2015 and due June 16, 2016 which was convertible into common shares six months from the Effective Date at a price equal to 58% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the ten trading days on or prior to the date upon which notice of conversion is received. The note became convertible on December 16, 2016 and cannot be paid back in cash unless expressly permitted by Adar. At the time of the filing of this Report, Adar has converted a total of $37,713 principle into shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in principal balance remaining of $14,787.

 

On July 14, 2015, (“Effective Date"), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with EMA Financial, LLC ("EMA"), whereby EMA agreed to invest $156,500 in our Company in exchange for a convertible promissory note that bears interest at 12% per annum. The Company netted cash proceeds of $135,000 after brokerage and legal fees additionally issuing EMA 100,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company as a loan fee. Six months after the effective date of the note, EMA can convert any unpaid balance of the note into common stock at either the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the closing date or 60% of the lowest sale price for the Common Stock on the Principal Market during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The note became convertible on January 14, 2016. At the time of the filing of this Report, EMA has converted a total of $14,160 of principle into shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in a principle balance remaining of $142,340.

On July 14, 2015, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement" or “Equity Line”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) with Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (“Tarpon”) whereby Tarpon is obligated, providing the Company has met certain conditions, including the filing of a Form S-1 Registration Statement for the shares to be acquired, to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock at the rates set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The S-1 Registration Statement was filed on September 28, 2015. On May 17, 2016, the Company filed a letter with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the withdrawal of the Form S-1 registration statement filed on September 28, 2015 due to unfavorable market conditions.

 

On May 24, 2016, the Company and Tarpon Bay Partners LLC ("Tarpon") executed a Termination Agreement (the "Termination Agreement"), in which the parties agreed to cancel the original Equity Purchase Agreement (the "Original Purchase Agreement"), dated July 14, 2015 (except for the original Promissory Notes (the "Original Tarpon Note") which was amended and restated as set forth below), in the original amount of USD $50,000, issued by the Company to Tarpon as additional compensation pursuant to Original Purchase Agreement), which gave the Company the right to issue and sell to Tarpon any of the Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the Company's common stock.

 

In exchange for the Termination Agreement, the Company agreed to:

 

(a) amend and restate the terms of the Original Tarpon Note, in the form of the issuance of an amended and restated convertible redeemable note (the "Amended Tarpon Note"), in the principal amount of $50,000, at ten percent (10%) interest per annum commencing on July 14, 2015 (the "Effective Date"), to be due and payable to Tarpon by the Company in four (4) separate equal quarterly payments of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars (USD $12,500), plus accrued interest to date, due on the first day of each quarter beginning on July 1, 2016, convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to fifty-eight percent (58%) of the lowest trading price for the ten (10) prior trading days, subject to aggregate conversion limitations of 9.99% and other terms and conditions set forth therein, and

 

(b) execute a new Equity Purchase Agreement (the "New Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company would have the right to issue and sell to Tarpon a total of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) of the Company's common stock, under the same terms as the Original Purchase Agreement, except for no additional compensation in lieu of the Amended Tarpon Note, to be executed on such mutually agreed upon date in the future after the Company is current on all SEC filings and is relisted on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) OTCBB and OTCQB markets.

 

Management believes that a total of at least US $5,000,000 will be needed to execute the Company’s business plan over the next three to five years, including the payments to HYHI on the Amended and Restated Note in the aggregate amount of USD $4,900,000. Management is of the opinion that we will not require additional funding based on revenues from future operations if we are able to utilize a total of at least $5,000,000 in Put Shares pursuant to a new Equity Purchase Agreement with Tarpon Bay Partners, LLC.

Cash used in operating activities for year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily for expenses related to general operations and for Company incurred administrative expenses. Net cash used by investing activities in 2015 includes the non-refundable deposit tendered for the gaming license. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2015 is from the sale of common stock, funds provided from a related party, and proceeds from convertible notes. Net cash used in financing activities includes repayment of a convertible note and repayments on advances from a related party.

 

Going Concern

 

Management believes that our current financial condition, liquidity and capital resources will not satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months to deploy our current business plan, and as such we will need to either raise additional proceeds through financing facilities, sales of securities and our officers and directors will need to make additional financial commitments to our Company, neither of which is guaranteed. We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements, primarily the working capital required to execute on our current business and fund our necessary operating expenses, through financial commitments from future debt facilities and equity sales, if and when possible.

 

Management believes that we may generate more revenue within the next 12 months, but that these revenues will not satisfy our cash requirements to implement our current business plan, which is subject to change depending upon pending business opportunities and available financing.

 

Aside from the agreement with Tarpon we have no committed source for funds as of December 31, 2015 other than our convertible debt instruments. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event that funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve revenue, and could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements as a result of these uncertainties.

 

It will be necessary to raise working capital funds through equity and debt financing facilities, which are extremely difficult for an early stage company to secure and may not be available to us or on a basis favorable to us. However, if such debt financing is available, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high-risk loans and be subject to above market interest rates.

 

The Company and has accumulated a deficit of $13,866,420 at December 31, 2015. We currently have only limited working capital with which continue our operating activities. The amount of capital required to sustain operations is subject to future events and uncertainties, but the Company anticipates it will need to obtain approximately $2,000,000 in additional working capital in the form of debt and equity in order to cover our current expenses over the next 12 months in furtherance of our business plan. Whether such capital will be obtainable or obtainable on commercially reasonable terms is at this date uncertain. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Elite Data Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries,

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Elite Data Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Elite Data Services, Inc., formerly Dynamic Energy Alliance Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $ and continues to experience losses. These considerations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2, which contemplates the raising of additional loan and/or equity financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Elite Data Services, Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”, “Our”, “We” or “Us”) business plan involves the continued development and growth of its online marketing and gaming businesses for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016.

 

During the year ending December 31, 2015, we made limited progress with our online marketing platforms due to lack of funding to complete required programming and coding enhancements. However, with additional funds, we anticipate the ability of bringing certain new marketing offerings to our platforms in hopes of increasing traffic flow, capturing new users and generating revenues.

 

Separately, pursuant to the terms of the Joint Venture with HYHI, we intend to implement the creation of the joint venture relationship using Elite Data Holdings S.A., a Honduras corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elite Gaming Ventures LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("EVG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and a distributor license from HYHI and El Mar Muerto Beauty Mineral, S.A., a Honduras corporation ("EMBM") to establish gaming operations (the "Purpose") by distributing and maintaining a total of eighty (80) slot machines in the cities of La Lima, Cortes; eighty (80) slot machines in the cities of Trujillo, Colon; and One Hundred and Sixty (160) slot machines in Roatan in the bay island of Honduras.

 

In order to effect the distributor license related to the gaming operations, the Company and EVG is responsible for providing any and all financial and operational resources required to execute on the License granted to the Company, including, but not limited to, the funding for the initial and ongoing operating costs in the minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $500,000) on or before December 31, 2016 (the "Initial Funding"). See Note 16.

 

Separately, the Company intends to expand its operations in the four quarter of 2016 to include intelligent retail solutions for gym owners and coaches through the completion of the acquisition of WOD, which the Company currently owns a minority interest stake of 20% as of August 26, 2016, with 100% ownership interest anticipated to be completed on or before October 15, 2016.

 

WOD serves the fitness community by allowing coaches and trainers to focus on what’s important while athletes have access to the products they need to perform at their highest level. WOD aims to relieve gym owners and coaches of the burden of managing retail sales including upfront inventory purchases, ongoing inventory management, payments, marketing, etc. while also providing a service for members to have convenient access to products that help them perform better. WOD intends to forge a mutually beneficial relationship with each gym, customer and vendor to ensure the best possible experience.

 

Our ability to complete subsequent phases of our business will be subject to us obtaining additional financing as these expenditures will exceed our cash reserves. 

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN  

The Company has accumulated a deficit of $13,866,420 at December 31, 2015. The Company currently has only limited working capital with which to continue its operating activities. The amount of capital required to sustain operations is subject to future events and uncertainties. The Company must secure additional working capital through loans, sale of equity securities, or a combination, in order to implement its current business plans. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available in the future, or available on commercially reasonable terms favorable to the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis of the continuation of the Company as a going concern and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 
F-6
Table of Contents

 

Management continued to manage its costs for the year ended December 31, 2015 to ensure appropriate funding is on hand for its continued operations through convertible debentures and financing from a related party. Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the equity markets to fund future operations and pay debts and generating of revenue through our business. However, even if we do raise sufficient capital to support our operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where we will generate profits and positive cash flows from operations.

 

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dynamic Energy Development Corporation (DEDC), which is inactive and Transformation Consulting (TC), which is also inactive. All significant inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to intangible assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in Statement of Operations for the year 2014 to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications impacted the classification of certain items within the Statement of Operations and the reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total operating expenses, net loss, or stockholders' deficit.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Intangible Assets

 

We review our long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value based on market value (when available) or discounted expected cash flows of those assets, and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. For the test performed December 31, 2014 an impairment loss of $589,041 was been charged to intangible assets since the fair value is less than the carrying amount as of the year end. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any long-lived intangible assets to be tested for impairments that had not previously been impaired in the subsequent year.

 

Development Costs

 

Development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred unless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, as determined by management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected useful life, or written off if a product is abandoned. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, total development costs amounted to $319 and $29,139, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no deferred product development costs.

 

 
F-7
Table of Contents

 

Cash

 

Cash include all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash in cash deposit accounts, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per legal ownership. At times, the Company’s accounts may exceed federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, line of credit payable, loans from a related party, contingent consideration payable, and convertible note payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

 

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. The Company may also issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. 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 warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.

 

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, usually using the effective interest method.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. 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 twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the FASB ASC Section 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition, Overall, SEC Materials ("Section 605-10-S99"). Section 605-10-S99 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

F-8
Table of Contents

 

Business combinations

 

Each investment in a business is being measured and determined whether the investment should be accounted for as a cost-basis investment, an equity investment, a business combination or a common control transaction. An investment in which the Company do not have a controlling interest and which the Company are not the primary beneficiary but where the Company have the ability to exert significant influence is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For those investments that we account for in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the management’s estimate of their fair values on the date of the business combination. The assessment of the estimated fair value of each of these can have a material effect on the reported results as intangible assets are amortized over various lives. Furthermore, according to ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The number of common shares that are exercisable or converted into common stock is not material to affect diluted EPS results. Further, since the Company shows losses for the periods presented basic and diluted loss per share are the same for all periods presented.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On December 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions codified in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company adopted those provisions using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized for all periods prior to December 1, 2005 includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of November 30, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to November 30, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value. In addition, deferred stock compensation related to non-vested options is required to be eliminated against additional paid-in capital. The results for periods prior to December 1, 2005 were not restated.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from parties other than employees in accordance with ASC 505, Equity. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the counterparty.

 

Income Taxes

 

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted the accounting standards codified in ASC 740, Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to those standards, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

 

ASC 740-10-25 prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

 

 
F-9
Table of Contents

 

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective income tax rate. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize or have any accrual for interest and penalties relating to income taxes as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. 

 

Common Share Non-Monetary Consideration

 

In situations where common shares are issued and the fair value of the goods or services received is not readily determinable, the fair value of the common shares is used to measure and record the transaction. The fair value of the common shares issued in exchange for the receipt of goods and services is based on the stock price as of the earliest of the date at which: 

 

i.

 The counterparty’s performance is complete;

 

 

 

ii.

 commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the common shares is reached; or

 

iii.

 the common shares are issued if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable at that date.

 

Share Purchase Warrants

 

The Company accounts for common share purchase warrants at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method is used to determine fair value of these warrants. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the warrants and risk-free interest rates.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”. Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether convertible debt to acquire stock of the Company contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price under the respective convertible debt agreements.

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Recently and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU-2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. ASU-2014-09 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, using one of two retrospective application methods. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (Subtopic 205-40), which defines management's responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures. Currently, this evaluation has only been an auditor requirement. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term “substantial doubt,” (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of the consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that financial statements are issued. This amended guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU No. 2015-03 provides that an entity: (1) present debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability rather than as an asset; and (2) report amortization of debt issuance costs as interest expense. Company has elected to adopt ASU No. 2015-03 as of December 31, 2015 and has no material impact on the financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330)", ("ASU 2015-11"). Topic 330, Inventory, currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market, with market value represented by replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 for the Company, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Related to the Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes which will require entities to present deferred tax assets (DTAs) and deferred tax liabilities (DTLs) as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU simplifies the current guidance (ASC 740-10-45-4), which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Board decided to allow all entities to early adopt the ASU for financial statements that had not been issued. The Company has adopted this ASU at December 31, 2015, which has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The amendments require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC during the current reporting period did not, or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

(hereafter “TC”). The purchase price for the shares was $2,000,000, payable from the gross revenues of TC, subject to the following contingent reduction or increase of the purchase price. Pursuant to the Agreement, if TC’s gross revenues during the two years following the closing were less than $2,000,000, then the purchase price for the shares would be reduced to the actual revenue received by TC during the two year period. If TC’s revenues during the same two year period exceed $2,000,000, then the purchase price for the shares would be increased by one-half of the excess revenues over $2,000,000 (hereafter “contingent consideration”).

 

Pursuant to the contingent consideration of $2,000,000 due to the Director from TC, all revenues generated by TC under the Agency Agreement were disbursed to the former Director.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS

 

Stock Compensation for investor relations services

 

On December 3, 2014, the Company entered into an Investor Relations Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with EraStar Inc. (“EraStar”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company had the ability to challenge performance under the contract to an independent referee within certain timelines, which the Company initiated on January 21, 2015 (the “Termination Date”). As a result of the ruling in favor of the Company by the independent referee, the entire Agreement was cancelled. For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2015, the Company expensed $772,594 of warrant expense and stock based compensation for investor relations’ services.

 

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company values its derivative instruments under FASB ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

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 utilizes market data 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. 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.

 

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.

 

 
F-21
Table of Contents

 

The Company's financial instruments consisted of cash, prepaid expense, deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, line of credit, loan from stockholders and convertible debt. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expense, deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, line of credit, loan from stockholders approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments. The recognition of the derivative values of convertible debt are based on the weighted-average Black-Scholes option pricing model, which the Company’s classifies as a level three of the fair value measurement hierarchy.

 

The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical quoted market prices for the Company's common stock, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

NOTE 14. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

Effective October 15, 2015, the Company adopted the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) whereby the Company may issue common stock, not to exceed 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Award” or “Stock Awards”), or grant options to acquire common stock of the Company (the “Option” or “Options”), (the “Stock”), which may be in the form of Stock Awards, or “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”) intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”), or “non-qualified stock options” (“NQSOs”).

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the exercise price of stock awards or options granted under the plan which are designated as NQSO’s shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the Option on the date of grant, and not less than 65% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the Stock Award on the date of grant. To the extent required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, the exercise price of a NQSO granted to any person who owns, directly or by attribution of stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary (a “Ten Percent Stockholder”) shall in no event be less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock covered by the Stock Award or Option at the time the Stock Award or Option is granted.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the exercise price of stock awards or options granted under the Plan which are designated as ISO’s shall not be less than the fair market value of the stock covered by the stock award or option at the time the option is granted. The exercise price of an ISO granted to any Ten Percent Stockholder shall in no event be less than 110% of the fair market value.

 

The fair market value is defined as the closing price of such stock on the date before the date the value is to be determined on the principal recognized securities exchange or recognized securities market on which such stock is reported. If selling prices are not reported, its fair market value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for such stock on the date before the date the value is to be determined (or if there are no quoted prices for such date, then for the last preceding business day on which there were quoted prices). If there is no established market for the stock, the fair market value will be determined in good faith by the Administer. The Administer will either be the Board of Directors or an Administer appointed by the Board of Directors. We do not have outstanding stock awards or options to purchase shares of our common stock under the Plan at December 31, 2015.

Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Agreement with Tarpon Bay Partners LLC

 

On July 14, 2015, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement" or “Equity Line”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) with Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (“Tarpon”) whereby Tarpon is obligated, providing the Company has met certain conditions, including the filing of a Form S-1 Registration Statement for the shares to be acquired, to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock at the rates set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In conjunction with the Equity Line, the Company issued a promissory note to Tarpon for $50,000, due on January 31, 2016, with 10% interest per annum as consideration for transaction costs incurred by Tarpon. The $50,000 of transaction costs will be treated as a reduction in additional paid-in capital since the transaction costs relate to equity financing.

 

The Purchase Agreement has a term of two-years (the "term") and may be terminated sooner by the Company or if Tarpon has purchased a total of $5,000,000 of the Company's common stock before the expiration of the term. During the term of the Purchase Agreement, the Company may at any time deliver a "Put Notice" to Tarpon thereby requiring Tarpon to purchase a certain dollar amount (the "Investment Amount") in exchange for a portion of the Shares (the "Put"), determined by an estimated amount of Shares equal to the investment amount indicated in the Put Notice divided by the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the trading day (the "Closing Price") immediately preceding the date the Put Notice was given (the "Put Date"), multiplied by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (the "Estimated Put Shares"). On the trading date preceding the delivery date of such Shares, Tarpon shall deliver payment for the Shares equal to the Company's requested Investment Amount.

 

Subject to certain restrictions, the purchase price for the Shares is equal to ninety percent (90%) of the lowest closing bid price, quoted by the exchange or principal market Company's Common Stock is traded on, on any trading day during the ten (10) trading days immediately after the date the Company delivers to Tarpon a Put Notice in writing requiring Tarpon (the "Valuation Period") to purchase the applicable number of Shares of the Company, subject to certain terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. In the event the number of Estimated Put Shares initially delivered to Tarpon is greater than the Put Shares purchased by Tarpon pursuant to such Put Notice, then immediately after the Valuation Period Tarpon shall deliver to the Company any excess Estimated Put Shares associated with such Put Notice. If the number of Estimated Put Shares delivered to Tarpon is less than the Put Shares purchased by Tarpon pursuant to a Put Notice, then immediately after the Valuation Period the Company shall deliver to Tarpon the difference between the Estimated Put Shares and the Put Shares issuable pursuant to such Put Notice.

 

The number of Shares sold to Tarpon shall not exceed the number of such Shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock of the Company then beneficially owned by Tarpon, would result in Tarpon owning more than 9.99% of all of the Company's common stock then outstanding. Additionally, Tarpon may not execute any short sales of the Company's common stock. Further, the Company has the right, but never the obligation to draw down on the total of $5,000,000. The Purchase Agreement also contains other customary and standard provisions.

Reverse Stock Split

 

Effective October 15, 2015, the Board of Directors under their sole discretion by Board Resolution and applicable FINRA requirements may initiate a 1:1,000 Reverse Split, the number of shares of capital stock issued and outstanding will be reduced to the number of shares of capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of a Reverse Split, divided by up to one thousand (1,000). Each fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. There will be no change to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as a result of a Reverse Split. With the exception of the number of shares issued and outstanding, the rights and preferences of the shares of capital stock prior and subsequent to a Reverse Split will remain the same. It is not anticipated that the Company's financial condition, the percentage ownership of management, the number of shareholders, or any aspect of the Company's business would materially change, solely as a result of a Reverse Split.

 

As a condition of the execution of WOD Definitive Agreement, as described more fully under Subsequent Events in Item 12 herein, on August 26, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a Reverse Split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 1:1,000, pursuant to the prior approval effective as of October 15, 2015.

 

As of August 26, 2016 (the "Record Date"), the Company had 130,237,299 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding out of 500,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding out of 50,000,000 authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Holders of record of the Common Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on the Record Date were entitled to participate in the written consent of our shareholders. Each share Common Stock was entitled to one vote and each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was entitled to vote 1:1,000 to each share of Common Stock.

 

REVERSE SPLIT

 

At the effective time of the Reverse Split, all of the outstanding shares of our outstanding Common Stock were automatically converted into a smaller number of shares, at the reverse split ratio of 1:1,000.

 

THE REASONS FOR THE REVERSE SPLIT

 

The Reverse Split was intended to reduce the number of outstanding shares in an effort to increase the market value of the remaining outstanding shares. In approving the Reverse Split, the Directors considered that the Company's Common Stock may not appeal to brokerage firms that are reluctant to recommend lower priced securities to their clients. Investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for such stocks. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower priced stocks. The Directors also believed that most investment funds are reluctant to invest in lower priced stocks.

However, the effect of the Reverse Split upon the market price for the Company's Common Stock cannot be predicted with certainty, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price per share of the Company's Common Stock after the Reverse Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Split. The market price of the Company's Common Stock may also be based on its performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.

 

POTENTIAL RISKS OF THE REVERSE SPLIT

 

There can be no assurance that the bid price of the Company's Common Stock will continue at a level in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the Reverse Split, that the Reverse Split will result in a per share price that will increase its ability to attract employees and other service providers or that the market price of the post-split Common Stock can be maintained. The market price of the Company's Common Stock is also based on its financial performance, market condition, the market perception of its future prospects and the Company's industry as a whole, as well as other factors, many of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the market price of the Company's Common Stock declines after the Reverse Split, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company's overall capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Split.

 

POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE SPLIT

 

For each holder of Common Stock, the number of shares held was reduced by the Reverse Split as follows: the number of shares held before the Reverse Split was divided by 1,000, and if the result had a fractional component, the result is that cash will be given in lieu of any fractional shares. By way of example, a shareholder with 100,000 shares of Common Stock before the Reverse Split will hold 100 shares of Common Stock upon completion of the Reverse Split and will receive cash in lieu of the fractional remaining share.

 

The issuance of cash in lieu of fractional shares will effect a small change in the relative percent ownership of the respective common shareholders. This change is not expected to be material.

 

Accounting Matters. The par value of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged at $0.0001 per share after the Reverse Split. Also the capital account of the Company remained unchanged, and the Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the Reverse Split.

 

Effect on Authorized and Outstanding Shares. Based on the stockholdings at August 26, 2013, there were 130,237,299 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Split, the number of shares of capital stock issued and outstanding (as well as the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any options, warrants, convertible debt or other derivative securities) was reduced to the number of shares of capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, divided by one thousand (1,000), minus any shares that were eliminated with cash in lieu of fractional shares.

 

With the exception of the number of shares issued and outstanding, the rights and preferences of the shares of capital stock prior and subsequent to the Reverse Split remained the same. It is not anticipated that the Company's financial condition, the percentage ownership of management, the number of shareholders, or any aspect of the Company's business would materially change, solely as a result of the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split was effectuated simultaneously for all of the Company's Common Stock and the exchange ratio was the same for all shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Reverse Split affected all of our shareholders uniformly and did not affect any shareholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent caused by the exchange of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Reverse Split did not alter the respective voting rights and other rights of shareholders.

 

The Reverse Split was not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a "going private transaction" covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.

Table of Contents

 

As a result of the Reverse Split, there was a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no change to the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock decreased, the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance in the future increased.

 

EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REVERSE SPLIT

 

Exchange of Certificates After Split. It will not be necessary for stockholders to exchange their old certificates. However, those stockholders who wish to obtain new certificates should contact the transfer agent, Manhattan Transfer Registrar Company, 57 Eastwood Road, Miller Place, NY 11764, Phone: (631) 928-7655.

 

Tax Impact of the Reverse Split. The following discussion summarizing material federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority and current administrative rulings and practices in effect on the date this Information Statement was first mailed to shareholders. This discussion does not discuss consequences that may apply to special classes of taxpayers (e.g., non-resident aliens, broker-dealers, or insurance companies). Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences to them.

 

The receipt of the Common Stock following the effective date of the Reverse Split, solely in exchange for the Common Stock held prior to the Reverse Split, will not generally result in recognition of a gain or loss to the shareholders. Although the issue is not free from doubt, additional shares received in lieu of fractional shares, including shares received as a result of the rounding up of fractional ownership, should be treated in the same manner. The adjusted tax basis of a shareholder in the Common Stock received after the Reverse Split will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the Common Stock held prior to the Reverse Split exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the Common Stock received after the Reverse Split will include the holding period of the Common Stock held prior to the Reverse Split exchanged therefor.

 

No gain or loss will be recognized by the Company as a result of the Reverse Split. The Company's views regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would accept the positions expressed above.

 

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR PERSON. IN PARTICULAR, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUMMARY ASSUMES THAT THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE HELD AS "CAPITAL ASSETS" AS DEFINED IN THE CODE, AND DOES NOT CONSIDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS IN LIGHT OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT CIRCUMSTANCES OR TO HOLDERS WHO MAY BE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL TREATMENT UNDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS (SUCH AS DEALERS IN SECURITIES, INSURANCE COMPANIES, FOREIGN INDIVIDUALS AND ENTITIES, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND TAX EXEMPT ENTITIES). IN ADDITION, THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS. THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERS SPLIT MAY VARY AS TO EACH STOCKHOLDER DEPENDING ON THE STATE IN WHICH SUCH STOCKHOLDER RESIDES. AS A RESULT, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH SHAREHOLDER TO OBTAIN AND RELY ON ADVICE FROM HIS, HER OR ITS TAX ADVISOR AS TO, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: (A) THE EFFECT ON HIS, HER OR ITS TAX SITUATION OF THE REVERSE SPLIT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS; (B) THE EFFECT OF POSSIBLE FUTURE LEGISLATION OR REGULATIONS; AND (C) THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE REVERSE SPLIT ON HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX RETURNS. IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH SHAREHOLDER TO PREPARE AND FILE ALL APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX RETURNS.

 

SHARE CERTIFICATES.

 

Following the Reverse Split, the share certificates held will continue to be valid. In the future, new share certificates will reflect the reverse split, but this in no way will affect the validity of current share certificates.

NOTE 16. ACQUISITION

 

On April 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) and Promissory Note (the “Note”) with H y H Investments, S.A. (the “Seller”) for the purchase of all outstanding securities of El Muerto Beauty Mineral, Sociedad Anonima (hereafter “EMBM”) whose sole asset consists of a license to operate 80 gaming machines in two cities on the Honduras mainland and 160 gaming machines in Roatan, the largest of the bay islands of Honduras. The total purchase price for the acquisition was Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) payable in the form of a Promissory Note (the “Note”). Upon the signing of the Agreement and Note, the $100,000 funds in escrow were paid to the Seller under the terms of the Note. The Company owes no further obligation under the terms of the Note until April 6, 2016, at which time $900,000 is due to the Seller, payable in the form of cash or shares of common stock of the Company at the average closing price of the common stock of the Company for the five trading days immediately preceding April 6, 2016. The remaining balance under the Note is payable up to $2,500,000 per year thereafter through March 31, 2021 by either cash payments or by a revenue-share of 25% of the net revenues received by EMBM during such time period. In the event that Seller has not received the full amount due on or before March 31, 2021, such amount due may be payable via the issuance of the Company’s shares of common stock at the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding March 31, 2021. Beginning on or after April 17, 2017, payments tendered in the form of Company common stock may be repurchased by the Company given the Seller’s approval with the purchase price being the value of the shares at the corresponding payment date. The Company is not obligated to re-purchase the shares. The Seller agreed to waive interest payments of 3.85% per annum, due in monthly installments, in exchange for a sub-license granting the Seller usage of twenty-five (25) machines in the municipality of Roatan.

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company amended the Note and SPA to reflect a due date of April 6, 2016 in conjunction with the first payment of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000), which is due in either cash, stock, or 25% of the net revenues of EMBM’s operations. The Note was also amended to reflect the current purchase price owed was reduced to $9,900,000, which deducts the $100,000 non-refundable deposit tendered on April 6, 2015. The business purpose for this amendment was to allow the Company the proper time to incorporate a Honduras corporation to be in compliance with the laws of the Republic of Honduras to effectively be able to transact business in that municipality. The good-faith non-refundable deposit permitted negotiation for a commitment at a later date.

 

Effective November 20, 2015, the Company signed a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with H y H Investments, S.A. (the “Seller”) regarding the acquisition of the gaming license whereby the Company re-assigned the Agreement to Elite Holdings S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary owned by the Company on a jointly and severally liable basis with the Company so as to comply with the regulatory authority of the Republic of Honduras. The Amendment also removed any Required Approvals on part of the Seller to enter into the Agreement. The Amendment specifies that as long as the Company is current in its payment obligations, upon good faith payment, Purchaser shall have the right to operate gaming machines permitted under the license and proceed with the use of the license as owner of EMBM with full power and authority to contract, license, sub-license, loan, lease, enter into contract or any other business venture in which entitles Purchaser to the benefit of the license on behalf of the Corporation. The Amendment also clarified that the shares of EMBM would be assigned to Elite Holdings, S.A. after the full purchase price had been tendered to the Seller. The Company will recognize the appropriate asset and liability when performance occurs on the effective date April 6, 2016.

 

On May 20, 2016, the Company and H Y H Investments, S.A. ("HYHI") executed the Third Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Third Amendment"), pursuant to which the parties agreed to further clarify and amend and restate certain provisions of the Original Purchase Agreement, First Amendment and Second Amendment (the "Original Purchase Agreement").

Table of Contents

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Third Amendment, the parties mutually agreed to cancel the Original Purchase Agreement dated April 6, 2015, in exchange for a new Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture") executed on even date therewith, pursuant to which the Company and HYHI agreed to create a joint venture relationship using Elite Data Holdings S.A., a Honduras corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elite Gaming Ventures LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("EVG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and a distributor license from HYHI and El Mar Muerto Beauty Mineral, S.A., a Honduras corporation ("EMBM") to establish gaming operations (the "Purpose") by distributing and maintaining a total of eighty (80) slot machines in the cities of La Lima, Cortes; eighty (80) slot machines in the cities of Trujillo, Colon; and One Hundred and Sixty (160) slot machines in Roatan in the bay island of Honduras.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Venture, HYHI agreed to effect the distributor license (the "License") related to the Purpose, provided that the Company and EVG would be responsible for providing any and all financial and operational resources required to execute on the License granted to the Company, including, but not limited to, the funding for the initial and ongoing operating costs in the minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $500,000) on or before December 31, 2016 (the "Initial Funding").

 

In addition, the Company and EVG agreed to pay HYHI consideration in the total amount of USD $10,000,000 (the "Total Consideration"), due and payable as follows:

(c) Revenue Share Plan. A revenue share split of any and all revenues derived from the Joint Venture (the "Revenue Share Plan") on a basis equal to twenty-five percent (25%) to EGV, and seventy-five percent (75%) to HYHI until such time as HYHI has received payment in full of the Total Consideration, and thereafter one hundred percent (100%) of the revenues shall be paid to EVG, for the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EVG shall be required to pay HYHI certain minimum licensing fee payments (the "Minimum Licensing Fee Payments") in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD $250,000.00) due and payable to HYHI on or before 31st day of each quarter, beginning on January 1, 2017, if the total amount paid to HYHI in the then prior quarter from the seventy-five percent (75%) revenue split does not exceed that amount.

NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

 

Potential benefits of income tax losses and other tax assets are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,639,581 for tax purposes in various jurisdictions subject to expiration as described below. Pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward and other items giving rise to deferred tax assets. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses and other items have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these items. 

 

The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the combined income tax statutory rates applicable in each jurisdiction to the Company’s loss before income taxes and non-controlling interest. The calculated tax deferred benefit at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is based on the current Federal statutory income tax rate of 35% applied to the loss before provision for income taxes.

There have been no occurrences requiring response to this item.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks 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 effectiveness, as of December 31, 2015, of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over the financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

 

Independent Registered Accountant’s Internal Control Attestation

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permanently exempts smaller reporting companies from providing attestation of their internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result, this report does not provide such an attestation, and the Company will be exempted from providing such an attestation until such time as it reaches $75 million in market capitalization.

 

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

 

There is no information to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K that has not been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Table of Contents

 

Board Meetings 

 

The Board of Directors took a number of actions by written consent of all of the directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Such actions by the written consent of all directors are, according to Florida corporate law and the Company's by-laws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held. The Company's directors and officers do not receive remuneration from the Company unless approved by the Board of Directors or pursuant to an employment contract. No compensation has been paid to the Company's directors for attendance at any meetings for the period served.

 

Board Committees

 

Nominating and Compensation Committees

 

The Company does not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. The Company's Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have a compensation committee at this time because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for the Company not to have a standing nominating committee because the Board of Directors has performed and will perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee.

 

The Company does not have any restrictions on shareholder nominations under its certificate of incorporation or by-laws. The only restrictions are those applicable generally under Florida corporate law and the federal proxy rules, The Board of Directors will consider suggestions from individual shareholders, subject to evaluation of the person's merits. Stockholders may communicate nominee suggestions directly to the Board of Directors, accompanied by biographical details and a statement of support for the nominees. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to being considered for nomination. There are no formal criteria for nominees at the present time.

 

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

We are not required to have and we do not have an Audit Committee. The Company's directors perform some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the financial statements; reviewing the auditors' independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

 

We have no “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Our directors have financial statement preparation and interpretation ability obtained over the years from past business experience and education. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of the nature of our current limited operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

  

Code of Ethics

 

The Company’s Board of Directors is developing a code of ethics (the “Code”) that will apply to members of the Board of Directors, all officers, employees and contemplated directors, officers and employees. The Code will set forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

·honest and ethical conduct,

 

 

·full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

 

 

·compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

 

·prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

 

 

·accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

 
21
Table of Contents

 

An official Code of Ethics has been finalized by the Board of Directors and made available at our website at www.edscompanies.com. We will describe the nature of amendments to the Code on our website, except that we may not describe amendments that are purely a technical, administrative, or otherwise non-substantive. We will also disclose on our website any waivers from any provision of the Code that we may grant. Information about amendments and waivers to the Code will be available on our website for at least 12 months, and thereafter, the information will be available upon request for five years.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Certain conflicts of interest exist and may continue to exist between the Company and its officers and directors due to the fact that each has other business interests to which they devote their primary attention. Each officer and director may continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time should be devoted to the business of the Company.

 

Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its management, and conflicts may develop in the future. The Company has not established policies or procedures for the resolution of current or potential conflicts of interest between the Company, its officers and directors or affiliated entities. There can be no assurance that management will resolve all conflicts of interest in favor of the Company, and conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through the exercise by management their best judgment as may be consistent with their fiduciary duties. Management will try to resolve conflicts to the best advantage of all concerned.

 

Shareholder Communications

 

The Company provides access for its shareholders to the Company via telephone and its web site, www.edscompanies.com. Shareholders are able to, and encouraged to, view all of the Company’s SEC filings as well as gain knowledge about the Company’s activities and developments that affect the shareholder’s relationship with the Company. The Company has retained the services of a dedicated professional that provides functions related to the development and distribution of shareholder communications.

 

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and the holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our equity securities. Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms received by us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2015, all of our executive officers, directors and the holders of 10% or more of our Common Stock had not complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

 

Indemnification

 

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Florida Business Corporation Act, or “FBCA,” and our bylaws.

 

The FBCA permits a Florida corporation to indemnify any person who may be a party to any third party proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding (including any appeal thereof) if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

 
22
Table of Contents

 

The FBCA permits a Florida corporation to indemnify any person who may be a party to a derivative action if such person acted in any of the capacities set forth in the preceding paragraph, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expenses of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding (including appeals), provided that the person acted under the standards set forth in the preceding paragraph. However, no indemnification shall be made for any claim, issue, or matter for which such person is found to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the court deems proper.

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The Company is not a "listed company" under SEC rules and is therefore not required to have a compensation committee. Accordingly, the Company has no compensation committee.

 

Except as set forth in the summary compensation table below, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not provided any salary, bonus, annual or long-term equity or non-equity based incentive programs, health benefits, life insurance, tax-qualified savings plans, special employee benefits or perquisites, supplemental life insurance benefits, pension or other retirement benefits or any type of nonqualified deferred compensation programs for its executive officers or employees.

 

No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs are currently in place for the benefit of the Company's employees.

 

There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be included in this table, or otherwise.
