The total amount of shares of common stock, which may be sold pursuant to this prospectus, would constitute approximately 9.89% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of April 20, 2018 if all of the shares had been sold by that date.

 

The Selling Shareholders are selling all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets OTCQB under the symbol "HLWD." On March 16, 2018, the closing price of our common stock was $1.55 per share on the OTCQB. These prices will fluctuate based on the demand for our common stock.

Our Business

 

History

 

We were incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 under the name SMACK Sportswear under which we manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. As a result of the sale of certain inventory from the Company to Mr. Sigler in July 2015, the Company became a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result of the Share Exchange, we acquired the proposed business of Almost Never.

 

Almost Never, our wholly-owned subsidiary upon the closing of Share Exchange, was incorporated in the State of Indiana on July 8, 2015. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Smack Sportswear” to “Almost Never Films Inc.” to more accurately reflect its new business.

 

We currently have authorized 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock, with 2,000,000 being designated as Series A Preferred Stock, containing such rights, privileges and designations as our Board of directors may, from time to time, determine. As of April 19, 2018, an aggregate of 5,203,765 shares of our Common Stock and 0 shares of our preferred stock are issued and outstanding.

 

Business Development

 

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.

 

On January 15, 2016, pursuant to a share exchange agreement, among Almost Never Films Inc. f/k/a Smack Sportswear (the “Company”, “we,” “our” or “us”), Almost Never Films Inc. (“ANF”), an Indiana corporation, and the two shareholders of ANF (the “ANF Shareholders”), we issued to the ANF Shareholders, 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of ANF (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, ANF became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and our business has become the business of ANF, effective January 15, 2016.

 

The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since the reverse acquisition.

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2017.

 

The Company has 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares with no par value.

 

Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 2,500,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), with a value of $10,000.

 

On March 4, 2016, all 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 2,500,000 common shares.

 

There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2018.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with a shareholder. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and said shareholder purchased, an aggregate of 1,243,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.20 per share in exchange for the cancellation of and discharge of certain promissory notes issued by the Company and payable to said shareholder. The foregoing issuance was deemed to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

 

In March through November 2016, the Company entered into four share purchase agreements with four investors for 312,500 common shares at $0.80 per share for total proceeds of $250,000

 

On November 16, 2016, the company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “KBM Agreement”) with Konwiser Brothers Media (“KBM”, and together with ANF, the “Parties). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parties will create an LLC or other entity (the “Company”), for the purpose of developing, producing and exploiting proposed motion picture project currently entitled “Field Trip” (the “Picture”). KBM will contribute its development and producing services to the Company and all rights to the Screenplay, and ANF will make financial contributions, assist in the raising of additional financing and participate in the development and production process as set forth more fully herein. The Company will own 100% of the copyright to the Picture and all other ancillary and related rights, and each of KBM and ANF will own an undivided 50% interest in the Company. KBM will be the managing member of the Company. The operating agreement for the Company will be consistent with the terms of this Agreement. This transaction, and the ones mentioned below, removed the Company from its prior shell status. On September 27, 2017, KBM informed the Company of its intent to terminate the KBM Agreement.

 

On December 1, 2016, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1, registering 250,000 shares for certain selling shareholders. The Form S-1 was declared effective on December 9, 2016.

 

On December 12, 2016, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “SAE Agreement”) with Saisam Entertainment, LLC (“SAE”, and together with the Company, the “Parties). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parties will create an LLC or other entity (the “Company”), for the purpose of developing, producing and exploiting proposed motion picture project currently entitled “Love is not Easy” (the “Picture”). The Company owns and controls the rights to the screenplay for the Picture.

On August 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Daniel Roth as Chief Creative Officer of the Corporation and Damiano Tucci as Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation.

The Company will be accorded a company credit and producer credits equal to those of Big Film. Furthermore, Prodco will provide the Company, Big Film and PFE with Producer’s E & O Insurance for a term of not less than three (3) years from delivery of any such Picture to PFE, and with limits of $1 million/$3 million/ $25K SIR as are common to the television/SVOD industry.

Criteria

 

We are an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs under $35 million.

 

History

 

As described above, we were incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 under the name SMACK Sportswear under which we manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. As a result of the sale of certain inventory from the Company to Mr. Sigler in July 2015, the Company became a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result of the Share Exchange, we acquired the proposed business of Almost Never.

 

Almost Never, our wholly-owned subsidiary upon the closing of Share Exchange, was incorporated in the State of Indiana on July 8, 2015. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Smack Sportswear” to “Almost Never Films Inc.” to more accurately reflect its new business. We also request changed the Company’s OTCQB trading symbol to "HLWD".

 

We have authorized 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock containing such rights, privileges and designations as our Board of directors may, from time to time, determine. On September 13, 2017, the Company completed a 1 for 40 reverse stock split and changed the authorized capital of the Company to 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. As of the date of this Report, an aggregate of 5,203,765shares of our Common Stock.

 

On March 4, 2016, all 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 2,500,000 common shares.

 

Our principal executive office is now located at 8605 Santa Monica Blvd #98258, West Hollywood, CA 90069-4109.

 

Our Business

 

The Company is an independent film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

 

Our proposed business is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. We intend to acquire or license rights to materials upon which we believe motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, short stories etcetera, which are referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property”). We may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular underlying property.  

 

If we are satisfied with the creative state of the underlying property, we then intend to make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on that underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier’s selection of a start date for principal photography.

 

 
8
 
Table of Contents

 

If a director or actors accepts one of our offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), we may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that we may take is to contact the financiers first, seeking first to produce the film, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.

 

Motion Picture Property Acquisition Process  

 

Our acquisition process is the process by which we intend to acquire or license “underlying properties”. In turn, we expect to use those properties to attract creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) to the potential motion picture project. If successful, we will then grant or license out those rights to third party financiers of motion pictures, who will then contract with the creative talent we have attracted to the property as well as finance, produce and distribute/exploit the motion picture. 

 

Almost Never Feature Film Production

 

Our initial primary involvement with feature film production is in the area of the development of “underlying properties”. We intend to engage third parties to produce, finance and exploit/distribute the motion picture “packages” we put together. We may also provide production expertise (i.e. “production services”) to the third party producer and/or financier of the motion picture in question. If we do provide production expertise, we, or members of our executive team, Danny Chan, Daniel Roth, and Damiano Tucci, may be credited as “producers” or “executive producers” of the particular film in question. We expect to primarily derive our income from producer fees, consulting and service fees as well as our participation in the profits of the various pictures produced by third parties, that were developed and/or “packaged” by us.

 

Our feature film strategy generally is to perform production services, develop and/or produce feature films when the production budgets for the films are expected to be entirely or substantially covered by a third party. In this way, we believe our risk is, by in large, only the capital required, if any, to develop and package the motion picture project. The entirety of the production budget, as well as any costs associated with distributing and/or exploiting the motion pictures in question, will be expected to be borne by a third party or parties who have the resources and expertise to produce and/or distribute motion pictures.

 

Distributing Almost Never Motion Pictures

 

Currently, we do not intend to directly distribute motion pictures. Instead, when we seek financing for our motion picture “packages,” the distribution rights are often obtained by the financier as collateral for their investment; in other words, third parties purchase the world-wide exploitation and distribution rights to a motion picture for the cost it takes to produce the motion picture.

 

Foreign Markets

 

In general, a very important portion of the financing for “independent” (i.e., not produced by a major studio or one of their subsidiaries) motion pictures comes from the “foreign markets” (i.e., those markets outside of the United States and English-speaking Canada). With respect to productions we are associated with, the third party financier owns and/or controls the production rights and uses these rights as collateral or purchases the rights outright in connection with the funding of the pictures we develop.

Table of Contents

 

Profit Participation

 

Our profit participation in motion picture projects will be determined by a calculation that assumes that all “negative costs” (production costs) of the picture (including, but not limited to, costs for development, principal photography and post-production) and “distribution expenses” (including, but not limited to, costs for marketing the film at various international film markets as well as costs associated with the delivery of the film and the physical elements to the various licensees of the film) are recovered by the financier plus interest thereon. After repayment of all negative costs, distribution expenses and interest thereon, the financier/distributor will charge a “distribution fee” (often a percentage of the gross income) for performing any sales or distribution services in connection with the picture. Following the payment of distribution fees and other costs, any amounts payable to creative elements that are contingent compensation (including, but not limited to, deferred compensation and bonuses) are paid to those third parties. Any money remaining is considered net profits from which profit participation is derived.

 

 Competition

 

The motion picture industry is intensely competitive. In addition to competing with the major film studios that dominate the motion picture industry, we will also compete with numerous independent motion picture production companies, television networks, pay television systems, and online streaming media companies such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Virtually all of our competitors are significantly larger than we are, have been in business much longer than we have, and have significantly more resources at their disposal. Our competitors range from small independent producers to well financed established film studios, particularly, major U.S. film studios.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We believe that intellectual property will be material to our business and we will expend cost and effort in an attempt to develop and protect our intellectual property and to maintain compliance vis-à-vis other parties' intellectual property. Our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to certain risks. Enforcement of intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming.

 

From time to time, we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. We cannot offer any assurances that we will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.

 

Industry Background

 

The Feature Film Industry. The feature film industry encompasses the development, production and exhibition of feature-length motion pictures and their subsequent distribution in the online, DVD, television, video on demand and other ancillary markets. The major studios dominate the industry, some of which have divisions that are promoted as "independent" distributors of motion pictures, including Universal Pictures, Warner Bros Entertainment (also known as Warner Bros. Studios, Inc., Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. commonly called Warner Bros., or simply WB) including subsidiaries New Line Cinema and Castle Rock Entertainment & DC Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox, Sony Pictures Entertainment (including Columbia Pictures and Tristar Pictures), Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, MGM Holdings and Lions Gate Entertainment. In recent years, however, true "independent" motion picture production and distribution companies have played an important role in the production of motion pictures for the worldwide feature film market.

 

Independent Feature Film Production and Financing. Generally, independent production companies do not have access to the extensive capital required to make big budget motion pictures, such as the "blockbuster" product produced by the major studios. They also do not have the capital necessary to maintain the substantial overhead that is typical of such studios' operations. Independent producers target their product at specialized markets and usually produce motion pictures with budgets of less than $25 million. Generally, independent producers do not maintain significant infrastructure. They instead hire only creative and other production personnel and retain the other elements required for development, pre-production, principal photography and post-production activities on a project-by-project basis. Also, independent production companies typically finance their production activities from bank loans, pre-sales, equity offerings, co-productions and joint ventures rather than out of operating cash flow. They generally complete financing of an independent motion picture prior to commencement of principal photography to minimize risk of loss.

Independent Feature Film Distribution. Motion picture distribution encompasses the exploitation of motion pictures in theatres and in markets, such as the DVD, pay-per-view, pay television, free television and ancillary markets, such as hotels, airlines and streaming films on the Internet. Independent producers do not typically have distribution capabilities and rely instead on pre-sales to North American and international distributors. Generally, the local distributor will acquire distribution rights for a motion picture in one or more of the aforementioned distribution channels from an independent producer. The local distributor will agree to advance the producer a non-refundable minimum guarantee. The local distributor will then generally receive a distribution fee of between 20% and 35% of receipts, while the producer will receive a portion of gross receipts in excess of the distribution fees, distribution expenses and monies retained by exhibitors. The local distributor and theatrical exhibitor generally will enter into an arrangement providing for the exhibitor's payment to the distributor of a percentage (generally 40% to 50%) of the box-office receipts for the exhibition period, depending upon the success of the motion picture.

 

Government Regulation

 

The Company is not currently subject to any direct government regulations, other than the securities laws and the regulations thereunder applicable to all publicly owned companies and laws and regulations applicable to general businesses. It is possible that certain laws and regulations may be adopted at the local, state, national and international level that could affect the Company's operations. Changes to such laws could create uncertainty in the marketplace which could reduce demand for the Company's products or increase the cost of doing business as a result of costs of litigation or a variety of other such costs, or could in some other manner have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If any such law or regulation is adopted it could limit the Company's ability to operate and could force the business operations to cease, which would have a significantly negative effect on the Company.

 

Employees

 

The Company employees are Danny Chan, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Daniel Roth as Chief Creative Officer of the Company and Damiano Tucci as Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

Financial Summary

 

As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide the information in this Item.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities is highly speculative and subject to numerous and substantial risks. These risks are set forth below. You should not invest in the Company unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. Readers are encouraged to review these risks carefully before making any investment decision.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Since our auditor has issued a going concern opinion regarding the Company, there is an increased risk associated with an investment in the Company.

 

We have earned no revenue since our inception on July 8, 2015, which makes it difficult to evaluate whether we will operate profitably. Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2017 was $102,367. As of December 31, 2017, we had cash in the amount of $381,303. We expect to continue to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future as a result of our film production activities. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing or upon future profitable operations. We reserve the right to seek additional funds through private placements of our Common Stock and/or through debt financing. Our ability to raise additional financing is unknown. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the advancement or loan of funds. If we are unable to secure additional financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, we could be forced to reduce or discontinue film development, reduce or forego sales and marketing efforts, and forego attractive business opportunities in order to improve liquidity to enable the Company to continue its operations. There are also risks and uncertainties inherent to the film industry including the highly speculative nature of the industry, intense competition, the lack of industry experience of the stockholders of the Company. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern. As a result, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in the Company.

Since we were previously a shell company, and we have not generated any revenues, there is no assurance that our business plan will ever be successful. We may never attain profitability.

 

Until November 15, 2016, the Company had been a shell company with nominal operations and no assets other than cash. Almost Never was incorporated in July 2015 and with the Company’s limited operating history, there is limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business plan or performance and prospects can be made.

 

Given the limited operating history, management has little basis on which to forecast future market acceptance of our services. It is difficult to accurately forecast future revenues because the business of the Company is new. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

 

We may not be able to obtain additional funding to meet our requirements.

 

Our ability to maintain and expand our development and production of feature films to cover our general and administrative expenses depends upon our ability to obtain financing through equity financing, debt financing (including credit facilities) or the sale or syndication of some or all of our interests in certain projects or other assets. If our access to existing credit facilities is not available, and if other funding does not become available, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our success depends on our personnel. Loss of key personnel may adversely affect our business.

 

Our success depends to a significant extent on the performance of our senior management personnel. In particular, we will depend on the services of such personnel as Danny Chan, our Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Roth our Chief Creative Officer, and Damiano Tucci our Chief Operating Officer. The loss of the services of key persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Budget overruns may adversely affect our business.

 

Actual motion picture costs may exceed their budget, sometimes significantly. Risks such as labor disputes, death or disability of star performers, rapid high technology changes relating to special effects or other aspects of production, shortages of necessary equipment, damage to film negatives, master tapes and recordings or adverse weather conditions may cause cost overruns and delay or frustrate completion of a production. If a film incurs substantial budget overruns, we may have to seek additional financing from outside sources to complete production of a motion picture. No assurance can be given as to the availability of such financing on terms acceptable to us. In addition, if a film incurs substantial budget overruns, there can be no assurance that such costs will be recouped, which could have a significant impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Distributors’ failure to promote our programs may adversely affect our business.

 

Decisions regarding the timing of release and promotional support of our films are important in determining the success of feature film. As with most production companies, for our product distributed by others we do not control the manner in which our distributors distribute our television programs or feature films. Although our distributors have a financial interest in the success of any such feature films, any decision by our distributors not to distribute or promote one of feature films or to promote competitors' feature films to a greater extent than it promotes ours could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We may not be able to compete with larger sales contract companies, the majority of whom have greater resources and experience than we do.

 

We are very small and unproven entity as compared to our competitors. As an independent production company, we will compete with major U.S. and international film studios. Most of the major U.S. studios are part of large diversified corporate groups with a variety of other operations, including television networks and cable channels, that can provide both the means of distributing their products and stable sources of earnings that may allow them better to offset fluctuations in the financial performance of their motion picture and television operations. In addition, the major studios have more resources with which to compete for ideas, storylines and scripts created by third parties as well as for actors, directors and other personnel required for production. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our lack of diversification may make us vulnerable to oversupplies in the market.

 

Most of the major U.S. film studios are part of large diversified corporate groups with a variety of other operations, including television networks and cable channels, which can provide both means of distributing their products and stable sources of earnings that offset fluctuations in the financial performance of their motion picture and television operations. The number of films released by our competitors, particularly the major U.S. film studios, in any given period may create an oversupply of product in the market, and that may reduce our share of gross box-office admissions and make it more difficult for our films to succeed.

 

Our operating results depend on product costs, public tastes and promotion success.

 

We expect to generate our future revenue from the development and production of feature films. Our future revenues will depend upon the timing and the level of market acceptance of our feature films, as well as upon the cost to produce, distribute and promote these feature films. The revenues derived from the production of a feature film depend primarily on the feature film's acceptance by the public, which cannot be predicted and does not necessarily bear a direct correlation to the production costs incurred. Our Company currently has no revenue or material market following. The commercial success of a feature film also depends upon promotion and marketing and certain other factors. Accordingly, our revenues are, and will continue to be, extremely difficult to forecast.

 

Our business could be adversely impacted if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights.

 

Our ability to compete depends, in part, upon successful protection of our intellectual property. We do not have the financial resources to protect our rights to the same extent as major studios. We will attempt to protect proprietary and intellectual property rights to our production through available copyright and trademark laws and licensing and distribution arrangements with reputable international companies in specific territories and media for limited durations. Despite these precautions, existing copyright and trademark laws afford only limited practical protection in certain countries. As a result, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy and distribute our productions or certain portions or applications of our intended productions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Litigation may also be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our movie rights, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that infringement or invalidity claims will not materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Regardless of the validity or the success of the assertion of these claims, we could incur significant costs and diversion of resources in enforcing our intellectual property rights or in defending against such claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may be subject to litigation and/or costly remediation and the price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected.

 

Failure to establish the required internal controls or procedures over financial reporting, or any failure of those controls or procedures once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Upon review of the required internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, our management and/or our auditors may identify material weaknesses and/or significant deficiencies that need to be addressed. Any actual or perceived weaknesses or conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of its internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact the price of our Common Stock and may lead to claims against us.

Risks Related to Industry

 

Success depends on external factors in the film industry.

 

Operating in the film production industry involves a substantial degree of risk. Each motion picture is a unique piece of art that depends on unpredictable audience reaction to determine commercial success. There can be no assurance that our feature films will be favorably received.

 

Technological advances may reduce demand for films.

 

The entertainment industry in general, and the motion picture industry in particular, are continuing to undergo significant changes, primarily due to technological developments. Because of this rapid growth of technology, shifting consumer tastes and the popularity and availability of other forms of entertainment, it is impossible to predict the overall effect these factors will have on the potential revenue from and profitability of feature-length motion pictures.

 

A decline in the popularity of entertainment, film and leisure activities could adversely impact our business.

 

Because our operations are affected by general economic conditions and consumer tastes, our future success is unpredictable. The demand for entertainment, film and leisure activities tends to be highly sensitive to consumers' disposable incomes, and thus a decline in general economic conditions could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition and the price of our Common Stock.

 

Public tastes are unpredictable and subject to change and may be affected by changes in the country's political and social climate. A change in public tastes could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition and the price of our Common Stock.

 

A decline in general economic conditions could adversely affect our business.

 

Our operations are affected by general economic conditions, which generally may affect consumers' disposable income. The demand for entertainment and leisure activities tends to be highly sensitive to the level of consumers' disposable income. A decline in general economic conditions could reduce the level of discretionary income that our fans and potential fans have to spend on our live and televised entertainment and consumer products, which could adversely affect our revenues.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

We are a penny stock and shell company. Investing in our securities is considered a high risk and illiquid investment.

 

An investment in an early stage company such as ours involves a degree of risk, including the possibility that your entire investment may be lost. There can be no assurance that our business will be successful or profitable.  Because we are a penny stock company and shell company, even if we do fulfill our business goals, our stock may remain illiquid and a trading market may never develop.

 

Investors will have little control over operations.

 

Management has complete authority to make decisions regarding day-to-day operations, and may take actions with which investors disagree. Except for limited voting rights, investors will have no control over management and must rely exclusively upon their decisions. 

 

 
15
 
Table of Contents

  

Insiders have substantial control over us, and they could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.

 

Based on the 5,203,765 shares issued and outstanding, our executive officer, Danny Chan, holds approximately 14.92%, our Chief Operating Officer, Damiano Tucci holds approximately 14.92%, Daniel Roth, our Chief Creative Officer holds approximately 14.92% and William Kruse holds approximately 29.84%, of the voting power of the Company. These stockholders are able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur

 

We cannot assure you that a market will develop for our Common Stock or what the market price of our Common Stock will be.

 

There is a limited trading market for our Common Stock. There is no assurance that an active market for our Common Stock will develop as a result of our operation of the Almost Never business even if we are successful. If a market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of Common Stock at an attractive price or at all. We cannot predict the prices at which our Common Stock will trade. It is possible that, in future quarters, our operating results may be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. As a result of these and other factors, the price of our Common Stock may decline or may never become liquid.

 

In the event that we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, or securities exercisable for or convertible into our equity securities, our stockholders could experience substantial dilution.

 

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders will likely incur immediate and substantial dilution. Further, any shares so issued may have rights, preferences and privileges superior to the rights, preferences and privileges of our outstanding Common Stock.

 

Market conditions may adversely affect our Common Stock.

 

Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our Common Stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the film and entertainment industries, announcements made by our competitors or sales of our Common Stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our performance.

 

We will also be effected by market regulation and trends which may make trading in securities such as our, difficult or undesirable. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Our Common Stock is considered a "penny stock" and may be difficult to sell.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00 per share and, therefore, is a "penny stock" according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares.

 

Future sales of our Common Stock may depress our stock price.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could cause a decrease in the market price of our Common Stock. We may issue additional shares of stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for stock in connection with our business. If a significant portion of these shares were sold in the public market, the market value of our Common Stock could be adversely affected.

Restrictions on the use of Rule 144 by shell companies could affect the resale of our shares.

 

We were previously considered a “shell” company. Historically, the SEC has taken the position that Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies like us, to their promoters or affiliates despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in its amendments and releases which prohibit the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by shell companies (other than business transaction related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:

 

 

·

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

 

·

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

·

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

 

·

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

As such, due to the fact that we were previously a shell company, holders of "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 (e.g. the former Almost Never Shareholders) will be subject to the conditions set forth herein. Therefore, sales under Rule 144 are prohibited for at least one year until we file current Form 10 type information as a “non-shell company.”

 

Our stock may be traded infrequently and in low volumes, so sales of our Common Stock at or near the quoted bid prices may not be possible.

 

Until our Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, we expect our Common Stock to remain eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets, or on another over-the-counter quotation system, or in the "pink sheets." In those venues, however, the shares of our Common Stock may trade infrequently and in low volumes, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. An investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock or to sell his or her shares at or near bid prices or at all. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our Common Stock, which may further affect the liquidity of our Common Stock. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise capital.

 

We may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, which could have a material adverse impact on the market value of our Common Stock.

 

Security analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Common Stock since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock. The absence of such coverage limits the likelihood that an active market will develop for our Common Stock. It will also likely make it more difficult to attract new investors at times when we require additional capital.

 

 
17
 
Table of Contents

 

If securities analysts do not initiate coverage or continue to cover our Common Stock or publish unfavorable research or reports about our business, this may have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

The trading market for our Common Stock will depend on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about our business and the Company. It is often more difficult to obtain analyst coverage for companies whose securities are traded on the OTC Markets. We do not have any control over securities analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our Common Stock. If securities analysts do not cover our Common Stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect its market price. If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is the subject of an unfavorable report, our stock price and trading volume would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover the Company or fails to publish regular reports on the Company, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance, without revenue we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.

 

In order for us to remain in compliance with the rules of the OTC Markets, we will require future revenues to cover the cost of filings with the SEC, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

To date, cash dividends have not been declared or paid on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares of Common Stock, subject to the limitation outlined herein. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

The risks above do not necessarily comprise all of those associated with an investment in the Company.

(1) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, securities that are currently convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock, or convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock within 60 days of the date hereof are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The Selling Shareholders may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that the Selling Shareholders will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders, and any broker-dealers or agents, upon completing the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of such acts.

These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by any of the Selling Shareholders, or any other such person. Under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

BUSINESS

 

Narrative Description of the Business

 

Business Development

 

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs under $35 million

 

On January 15, 2016, pursuant to the share exchange agreement, among Almost Never Films Inc. f/k/a Smack Sportswear (the “Company”, “we,” “our” or “us”), Almost Never Films Inc. (“ANF”), an Indiana corporation, and the two shareholders of ANF (the “ANF Shareholders”), we issued to the ANF Shareholders, 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of ANF (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, ANF became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and our business has become the business of ANF, effective January 15, 2017.

The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since the reverse acquisition.

 

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2017.

 

The Company has 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares with no par value.

 

Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 2,500,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), with a value of $10,000.

 

On March 4, 2016, all 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 2,500,000 common shares.

 

There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with a shareholder. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and said shareholder purchased, an aggregate of 1,243,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.20 per share in exchange for the cancellation of and discharge of certain promissory notes issued by the Company and payable to said shareholder. The foregoing issuance was deemed to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

 

In March through November 2016, the Company entered into four share purchase agreements with four investors for 312,500 common shares at $0.80 per share for total proceeds of $250,000

 

On November 16, 2016, the company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “KBM Agreement”) with Konwiser Brothers Media (“KBM”, and together with ANF, the “Parties). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parties will create an LLC or other entity (the “Company”), for the purpose of developing, producing and exploiting proposed motion picture project currently entitled “Field Trip” (the “Picture”). KBM will contribute its development and producing services to the Company and all rights to the Screenplay, and ANF will make financial contributions, assist in the raising of additional financing and participate in the development and production process as set forth more fully herein. The Company will own 100% of the copyright to the Picture and all other ancillary and related rights, and each of KBM and ANF will own an undivided 50% interest in the Company. KBM will be the managing member of the Company. The operating agreement for the Company will be consistent with the terms of this Agreement. This transaction, and the ones mentioned below, removed the Company from its prior shell status. On September 27, 2017, KBM informed the Company of its intent to terminate the KBM Agreement.

 History

 

We were incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 under the name SMACK Sportswear under which we manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. As a result of the sale of certain inventory from the Company to Mr. Sigler in July 2015, the Company became a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result of the Share Exchange, we acquired the proposed business of Almost Never.

 

Almost Never, our wholly-owned subsidiary upon the closing of Share Exchange, was incorporated in the State of Indiana on July 8, 2015. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Smack Sportswear” to “Almost Never Films Inc.” to more accurately reflect its new business. We also changed the Company’s OTCQB trading symbol to "HLWD".

 

We currently have authorized 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock, with 2,000,000 shares being designated as Series A Preferred Stock, containing such rights, privileges and designations as our Board of directors may, from time to time, determine. As of the date of this Report, an aggregate of 5,203,765 shares of our Common Stock are issued and outstanding and none of our preferred stock are issued or outstanding.

 

On November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “KBM Agreement”) with Konwiser Brothers Media (“KBM”, and together with the Company, the “Parties). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parties would create an LLC or other entity (“NewCo”), for the purpose of developing, producing and exploiting proposed motion picture project currently entitled “Field Trip” (the “Picture”). KBM would contribute its development and producing services to NewCo and all rights to the Screenplay, and NewCo would make financial contributions, assist in the raising of additional financing and participate in the development and production process as set forth more fully herein. NewCo would own 100% of the copyright to the Picture and all other ancillary and related rights, and each of KBM and the Company will own an undivided 50% interest in NewCo. KBM would be the managing member of NewCo. The operating agreement for NewCo would be consistent with the terms of the KBM Agreement. This transaction, and the ones mentioned below, removed the Company from its prior shell status. On September 27, 2017, KBM informed the Company of its intent to terminate the KBM Agreement.

 

On December 1, 2016, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1, registering 250,000 shares for certain selling shareholders. The Form S-1 was declared effective on December 8, 2016.

Our Business

 

We are an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs under $35 million.

 

Our proposed business is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. We intend to acquire or license rights to materials upon which we believe motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, short stories etcetera, which are referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property”). We may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular underlying property.

 

 
25
 
Table of Contents

 

If we are satisfied with the creative state of the underlying property, we then intend to make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on that underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier’s selection of a start date for principal photography.

 

If a director or actors accepts one of our offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), we may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that we may take is to contact the financiers first, seeking first to produce the film, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.

 

Motion Picture Property Acquisition Process

 

Our acquisition process is the process by which we intend to acquire or license “underlying properties”. In turn, we expect to use those properties to attract creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) to the potential motion picture project. If successful, we will then grant or license out those rights to third party financiers of motion pictures, who will then contract with the creative talent we have attracted to the property as well as finance, produce and distribute/exploit the motion picture.

 

Almost Never Feature Film Production

 

Our initial primary involvement with feature film production is in the area of the development of “underlying properties”. We intend to engage third parties to produce, finance and exploit/distribute the motion picture “packages” we put together. We may also provide production expertise (i.e. “production services”) to the third party producer and/or financier of the motion picture in question. If we do provide production expertise, we, or members of our executive team, Danny Chan, Daniel Roth, and Damiano Tucci, may be credited as “producers” or “executive producers” of the particular film in question. We expect to primarily derive our income from producer fees, consulting and service fees as well as our participation in the profits of the various pictures produced by third parties, that were developed and/or “packaged” by us.

 

Our feature film strategy generally is to perform production services, develop and/or produce feature films when the production budgets for the films are expected to be entirely or substantially covered by a third party. In this way, we believe our risk is, by in large, only the capital required, if any, to develop and package the motion picture project. The entirety of the production budget, as well as any costs associated with distributing and/or exploiting the motion pictures in question, will be expected to be borne by a third party or parties who have the resources and expertise to produce and/or distribute motion pictures.

 

Distributing Almost Never Motion Pictures

 

Currently, we do not intend to directly distribute motion pictures. Instead, when we seek financing for our motion picture “packages,” the distribution rights are often obtained by the financier as collateral for their investment; in other words, third parties purchase the world-wide exploitation and distribution rights to a motion picture for the cost it takes to produce the motion picture.

 

Foreign Markets

 

In general, a very important portion of the financing for “independent” (i.e., not produced by a major studio or one of their subsidiaries) motion pictures comes from the “foreign markets” (i.e., those markets outside of the United States and English-speaking Canada). With respect to productions we are associated with, the third party financier owns and/or controls the production rights and uses these rights as collateral or purchases the rights outright in connection with the funding of the pictures we develop.

 

 
26
 
Table of Contents

 

Profit Participation

 

Our profit participation in motion picture projects will be determined by a calculation that assumes that all “negative costs” (production costs) of the picture (including, but not limited to, costs for development, principal photography and post-production) and “distribution expenses” (including, but not limited to, costs for marketing the film at various international film markets as well as costs associated with the delivery of the film and the physical elements to the various licensees of the film) are recovered by the financier plus interest thereon. After repayment of all negative costs, distribution expenses and interest thereon, the financier/distributor will charge a “distribution fee” (often a percentage of the gross income) for performing any sales or distribution services in connection with the picture. Following the payment of distribution fees and other costs, any amounts payable to creative elements that are contingent compensation (including, but not limited to, deferred compensation and bonuses) are paid to those third parties. Any money remaining is considered net profits from which profit participation is derived.

 

Competition

 

The motion picture industry is intensely competitive. In addition to competing with the major film studios that dominate the motion picture industry, we will also compete with numerous independent motion picture production companies, television networks, pay television systems, and online streaming media companies such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Virtually all of our competitors are significantly larger than we are, have been in business much longer than we have, and have significantly more resources at their disposal. Our competitors range from small independent producers to well financed established film studios, particularly, major U.S. film studios.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We believe that intellectual property will be material to our business and we will expend cost and effort in an attempt to develop and protect our intellectual property and to maintain compliance vis-à-vis other parties' intellectual property. Our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to certain risks. Enforcement of intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming.

 

From time to time, we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. We cannot offer any assurances that we will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.

 

Industry Background

 

The Feature Film Industry . The feature film industry encompasses the development, production and exhibition of feature-length motion pictures and their subsequent distribution in the online, DVD, television, video on demand and other ancillary markets. The major studios dominate the industry, some of which have divisions that are promoted as "independent" distributors of motion pictures, including Universal Pictures, Warner Bros Entertainment (also known as Warner Bros. Studios, Inc., Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. commonly called Warner Bros., or simply WB) including subsidiaries New Line Cinema and Castle Rock Entertainment & DC Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox, Sony Pictures Entertainment (including Columbia Pictures and Tristar Pictures), Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, MGM Holdings and Lions Gate Entertainment. In recent years, however, true "independent" motion picture production and distribution companies have played an important role

in the production of motion pictures for the worldwide feature film market.

 

Independent Feature Film Production and Financing . Generally, independent production companies do not have access to the extensive capital required to make big budget motion pictures, such as the "blockbuster" product produced by the major studios. They also do not have the capital necessary to maintain the substantial overhead that is typical of such studios' operations. Independent producers target their product at specialized markets and usually produce motion pictures with budgets of less than $25 million. Generally, independent producers do not maintain significant infrastructure. They instead hire only creative and other production personnel and retain the other elements required for development, pre-production, principal photography and post-production activities on a project-by-project basis. Also, independent production companies typically finance their production activities from bank loans, pre-sales, equity offerings, co-productions and joint ventures rather than out of operating cash flow.

Independent Feature Film Distribution . Motion picture distribution encompasses the exploitation of motion pictures in theatres and in markets, such as the DVD, pay-per-view, pay television, free television and ancillary markets, such as hotels, airlines and streaming films on the Internet. Independent producers do not typically have distribution capabilities and rely instead on pre-sales to North American and international distributors. Generally, the local distributor will acquire distribution rights for a motion picture in one or more of the aforementioned distribution channels from an independent producer. The local distributor will agree to advance the producer a non-refundable minimum guarantee. The local distributor will then generally receive a distribution fee of between 20% and 35% of receipts, while the producer will receive a portion of gross receipts in excess of the distribution fees, distribution expenses and monies retained by exhibitors. The local distributor and theatrical exhibitor generally will enter into an arrangement providing for the exhibitor's payment to the distributor of a percentage (generally 40% to 50%) of the box-office receipts for the exhibition period, depending upon the success of the motion picture.

 

Government Regulation

 

The Company is not currently subject to any direct government regulations, other than the securities laws and the regulations thereunder applicable to all publicly owned companies and laws and regulations applicable to general businesses. It is possible that certain laws and regulations may be adopted at the local, state, national and international level that could affect the Company's operations. Changes to such laws could create uncertainty in the marketplace which could reduce demand for the Company's products or increase the cost of doing business as a result of costs of litigation or a variety of other such costs, or could in some other manner have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If any such law or regulation is adopted it could limit the Company's ability to operate and could force the business operations to cease, which would have a significantly negative effect on the Company.

 

Employees

 

The Company currently has no employees other than Danny Chan, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Daniel Roth as Chief Creative Officer of the Corporation and Damiano Tucci as Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Management, with the participation of the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the “material weaknesses” described below under “Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” which are in the process of being remediated as described below under “Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses.”

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and affected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our Board of Directors; and

 

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate this risk. Further, over time control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making its assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on its assessment, management has concluded that we had certain control deficiencies described below that constituted material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2016.

Table of Contents

 

A “material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls. As a result of management's review of the investigation issues and results, and other internal reviews and evaluations that were completed after the end of quarter related to the preparation of management's report on internal controls over financial reporting required for this annual report on Form 10-K, management concluded that we had material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following:

 

1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and

 

2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

We do not believe the material weaknesses described above caused any meaningful or significant misreporting of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock since the date of our incorporation and we do not anticipate paying any common stock dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of our businesses and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Our common stock will be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $100,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:

 

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

 

Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

 

Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

 

Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of the Selling Shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock even if our common stock becomes publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our shares are likely to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.

 

Common Stock Currently Outstanding

 

As of April 19, 2018, all of our currently outstanding shares consist of 5,203,765 shares of common stock.

 

Reports to Stockholders

 

We have filed all necessary periodic reports, and other information with the SEC. We have provided annual reports to our stockholders containing audited financial statements.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

The following disclosure is with respect to not only the Company, but also with respect to the Company’s subsidiary entity.

 

On August 23, 2016, the Company, dismissed Somerset CPAs, PC ("Somerset"). Somerset had not yet provided the Company with an auditor report to be contained in any financial statements of the Company. There had been no disagreements with Somerset on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure from appointment on January 22, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

 

On August 23, 2016, the Company engaged Simon & Edward, LLP as its independent accountant to provide auditing services for going forward for the Company. Prior to such engagement, the Company had no consultations with Simon & Edward, LLP. The decision to hire Simon & Edward, LLP was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Bylaws, subject to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, contain provisions which allow the Company to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

 

Almost Never Films, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Almost Never Films Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2017 and for the period from July 8, 2015 (Date of inception) to June 30, 2016. 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 audit 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 consolidated 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 audit 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 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 consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2017 and for the period from July 8, 2015 (Date of inception) to June 30, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Almost Never Films Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2017

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

Nature of the Business

 

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.

 

Share Exchange and Recapitalization

 

On January 15, 2016, Smack entered into a share exchange agreement with Almost Never Films Inc., a private company incorporated in Indiana on July 8, 2015, and its two shareholders, Danny Chan and Derek Williams.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 2,500,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana). As a result of the share exchange, Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) became Smack’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

 

 The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception.

 

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2016.

Table of Contents

 

On August 9, 2017, the Company has approved a 1 for 40 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The common stock accounts and all share related balances have been be applied retroactively for all periods presented.

 

The new symbol of the Company is HLWD in OTCQB.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $119,253 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $108,377. As of June 30, 2017, the Company is delinquent in payments of $66,613 of a note payable, and had a working capital deficiency of $11,761 and a accumulated deficit of $945,257. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Team Sports Superstore (Inactive) and Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing the fair value of common stock issued for services, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. All cash balances are hold by major banking institutions. The Company maintains its cash with a financial institution, and at times, amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

 

In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Table of Contents

 

As of June 30, 2017, the balance reported for cash approximates its fair value because of its short maturities. Notes payable are recorded at agreed values. Debt balances are stated at historical amounts less principal payments, which approximate fair market value. Promissory notes receivable and payable are stated at historical amounts less principal payments. The Company believes interest rates in its debt agreements are commensurate with lender risk profiles for similar companies.

 

Stock Subscription Receivable

 

The stock subscription receivable reflects the sales of common stock in March 2016 for which the Company had not received payment. As of June 30, 2017, the stock subscription receivable has been nullified based on a mutual agreement between the Company and the party involved in the subscription.

 

Loss per Share Calculations

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2017, and the period ended June 30, 2016, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAX

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

There were no disagreements with our accountants related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and subsequent interim periods.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the material information required to be included in our SEC reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the company.

 

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 our assets; (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 our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

 

 
43
 
 

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of June 30, 2017, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

·

Lack of proper segregation of duties due to limited personnel;

·

Lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review from adequate personnel with requisite expertise.

 

We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist our company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

 

Management has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2017 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished to us and written representations from such directors, executive officers and stockholders with respect to the period from July 8, 2015, through June 30, 2017, we are not aware of any required Section 16(a) reports that were not filed on a timely basis.

 

Board Committees

 

The Board currently does not have any committees. Until further determination by the Board, the full Board will undertake the duties of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company currently has not adopted a written code of ethics. We intend to implement a comprehensive corporate governance program, including adopting a Code of Ethics.

  

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board be "independent" and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of "Independent Directors."

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT 

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. In accordance with SEC rules, shares of our Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days of the date of the applicable table below are deemed beneficially owned by the holders of such options and warrants and are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. Subject to community property laws, where applicable, the persons or entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our Common Stock indicated as beneficially owned by them.

 

Beneficial Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of October 4, 2017, after the 1 for 40 reverse stock split, by (i) each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock, (ii) each of our directors and executive officers, and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. To the best of our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated, each of the persons named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by such person, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. To our knowledge, none of the shares listed below are held under a voting trust or similar agreement, except as noted.

Almost Never Films Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2017

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

Nature of the Business

 

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

 

Share Exchange and Recapitalization

 

On January 15, 2016, Smack entered into a share exchange agreement with Almost Never Films Inc., a private company incorporated in Indiana on July 8, 2015, and its two shareholders, Danny Chan and Derek Williams.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 2,500,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana). As a result of the share exchange, Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) became Smack’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

 

The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception.

 

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2016.

 

On August 9, 2017, the Company has approved a 1 for 40 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The common stock accounts and all share related balances have been be applied retroactively for all periods presented.

 

The new symbol of the Company is HLWD in OTCQB.

 

 
F-4
 
 

  

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss from operations of $102,367 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $514,287. As of December 31, 2017, the Company is delinquent in payments of $66,613 of a note payable and has an accumulated deficit of $1,065,323. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities.

 

Management has reviewed the entity’s financial condition, and has improved the Company’s working capital during the past fiscal year. Management believes the Company will be able to fund operations for the next year through cash on hand, and further potential equity and debt offerings. There are no other significant conditions or events that management has identified that will adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet its obligations over the next year of operations.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Team Sports Superstore (Inactive) and Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), One HLWD KY LLC (Kentucky), Two HLWD KY LLC (Kentucky), Three HLWD KY (Kentucky), LLC, and FWIL, LLC (Indiana). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2017, which were included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing the fair value of common stock issued for services, film costs, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash

 

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. All cash balances are hold by major banking institutions. The Company maintains its cash with a financial institution, and at times, amounts may exceed federally insured limits. Currently the FDIC insurance coverage limit is $250,000, and the Company is potentially exposed to no un-insured cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Film Costs

 

The Company records film costs in accordance with ASC – 926 - Entertainment – Films . Film costs include direct production costs, production overhead and acquisition costs for both motion picture and television productions and are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value and classified as noncurrent assets. Estimates used in calculating the fair value of the film costs are based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions and are reviewed on a periodic basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

 

In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the balance reported for cash approximates its fair value because of its short maturities. Notes payable are recorded at agreed values. Debt balances are stated at historical amounts less principal payments, which approximate fair market value. Promissory notes receivable and payable are stated at historical amounts less principal payments. The Company believes interest rates in its debt agreements are commensurate with lender risk profiles for similar companies.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of services in accordance with ASC 926 - 605 – Entertainment - Films. Revenue is recognized only when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing agreement with a customer exists; (ii) the film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery; (iii) the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition, or sale; (iv) the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and (v) collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

 

Stock Repurchase and Cancellation

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company repurchased and cancelled 85,475 shares of common stock. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC 505 – Equity – 30 Treasury Stock, Purchase of Treasury Shares or Stock Rights.

 

Stock Subscription Receivable

 

The Company has accounted for Stock Subscription Receivable in accordance with ASC – 505 – Equity – 10 , and has included the Stock Subscription Receivable balance in equity.

 

Loss per Share Calculations

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Business Development

 

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on independent film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

 

On January 15, 2016, pursuant to the share exchange agreement, among Almost Never Films Inc. f/k/a Smack Sportswear (the “Company”, “we,” “our” or “us”), Almost Never Films Inc. (“ANF”), an Indiana corporation, and the two shareholders of ANF (the “ANF Shareholders”), we issued to the ANF Shareholders, 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of ANF (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, ANF became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and our business has become the business of ANF, effective January 15, 2017.

 

The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since the reverse acquisition.

 

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2017.

 

The Company has 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares with no par value.

 

Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 2,500,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), with a value of $10,000.

 

On March 4, 2016, all 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 2,500,000 common shares.

 

There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2017 or June 30, 2017.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with a shareholder. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and said shareholder purchased, an aggregate of 1,243,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.20 per share in exchange for the cancellation of and discharge of certain promissory notes issued by the Company and payable to said shareholder.

Our principal executive office is now located at 8605 Santa Monica Blvd #98258, West Hollywood, CA 90069-4109.

 

Our Business

 

The Company is an independent film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

 

 
53
 
 

 

Our proposed business is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. We intend to acquire or license rights to materials upon which we believe motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, short stories etcetera, which are referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property”). We may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular underlying property.

 

If we are satisfied with the creative state of the underlying property, we then intend to make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on that underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier’s selection of a start date for principal photography.

 

If a director or actors accepts one of our offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), we may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that we may take is to contact the financiers first, seeking first to produce the film, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.

 

Motion Picture Property Acquisition Process  

 

Our acquisition process is the process by which we intend to acquire or license “underlying properties”. In turn, we expect to use those properties to attract creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) to the potential motion picture project. If successful, we will then grant or license out those rights to third party financiers of motion pictures, who will then contract with the creative talent we have attracted to the property as well as finance, produce and distribute/exploit the motion picture. 

 

Almost Never Feature Film Production

 

Our initial primary involvement with feature film production is in the area of the development of “underlying properties”. We intend to engage third parties to produce, finance and exploit/distribute the motion picture “packages” we put together. We may also provide production expertise (i.e. “production services”) to the third party producer and/or financier of the motion picture in question. If we do provide production expertise, we, or members of our executive team, Danny Chan, Daniel Roth, and Damiano Tucci, may be credited as “producers” or “executive producers” of the particular film in question. We expect to primarily derive our income from producer fees, consulting and service fees as well as our participation in the profits of the various pictures produced by third parties, that were developed and/or “packaged” by us.

 

Our feature film strategy generally is to perform production services, develop and/or produce feature films when the production budgets for the films are expected to be entirely or substantially covered by a third party. In this way, we believe our risk is, by in large, only the capital required, if any, to develop and package the motion picture project. The entirety of the production budget, as well as any costs associated with distributing and/or exploiting the motion pictures in question, will be expected to be borne by a third party or parties who have the resources and expertise to produce and/or distribute motion pictures.

 

Distributing Almost Never Motion Pictures

 

Currently, we do not intend to directly distribute motion pictures. Instead, when we seek financing for our motion picture “packages,” the distribution rights are often obtained by the financier as collateral for their investment; in other words, third parties purchase the world-wide exploitation and distribution rights to a motion picture for the cost it takes to produce the motion picture.

 

Foreign Markets

 

In general, a very important portion of the financing for “independent” (i.e., not produced by a major studio or one of their subsidiaries) motion pictures comes from the “foreign markets” (i.e., those markets outside of the United States and English-speaking Canada). With respect to productions we are associated with, the third party financier owns and/or controls the production rights and uses these rights as collateral or purchases the rights outright in connection with the funding of the pictures we develop.

 

 
54
 
 

 

Profit Participation

 

Our profit participation in motion picture projects will be determined by a calculation that assumes that all “negative costs” (production costs) of the picture (including, but not limited to, costs for development, principal photography and post-production) and “distribution expenses” (including, but not limited to, costs for marketing the film at various international film markets as well as costs associated with the delivery of the film and the physical elements to the various licensees of the film) are recovered by the financier plus interest thereon. After repayment of all negative costs, distribution expenses and interest thereon, the financier/distributor will charge a “distribution fee” (often a percentage of the gross income) for performing any sales or distribution services in connection with the picture. Following the payment of distribution fees and other costs, any amounts payable to creative elements that are contingent compensation (including, but not limited to, deferred compensation and bonuses) are paid to those third parties. Any money remaining is considered net profits from which profit participation is derived.

 

Competition

 

The motion picture industry is intensely competitive. In addition to competing with the major film studios that dominate the motion picture industry, we will also compete with numerous independent motion picture production companies, television networks, pay television systems, and online streaming media companies such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Virtually all of our competitors are significantly larger than we are, have been in business much longer than we have, and have significantly more resources at their disposal. Our competitors range from small independent producers to well financed established film studios, particularly, major U.S. film studios.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We believe that intellectual property will be material to our business and we will expend cost and effort in an attempt to develop and protect our intellectual property and to maintain compliance vis-à-vis other parties' intellectual property. Our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to certain risks. Enforcement of intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming.

 

From time to time, we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. We cannot offer any assurances that we will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, our commitments to strategic alliance partners and the timing of the achievement of collaboration milestones. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are also based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, even for estimates and judgments that are not deemed critical.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s professional fees were primarily for ongoing regulatory requirements. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company had no revenue and incurred $5,864 on general and administrative expenses and $32,865 on professional fees. The increase in general and administration fees were primarily due to an increase in filing fees, insurance expenses, and travel expenses.

 

Other Expense

During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Company had no revenue and incurred $9,924 on general and administrative expenses and $46,330 on professional fees. The Company’s professional fees were primarily for ongoing regulatory requirements. The increase in general and administration fees were primarily due to an increase in filing fees, insurance expenses, and travel expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had a cash balance of $381,303. As of June 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of $91,590. We do not have sufficient funds to operate for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company received $386,000 for the issuance of common stock subscribed pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $120,066 and cash used in operating activities was $514,287. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing.

 

There was $38,000 cash inflow from investing activities, and $766,000 cash flows from financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2017.

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Although our proceeds from the issuance of debt and our offering of shares of common stock is currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses, we anticipate we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we did not have any "off-balance sheet arrangements" (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K).

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company's management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2017 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.

 

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

UNDERTAKINGS

 

The Registrant undertakes:

 

1. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The Registrant is registering securities under Rule 415 of the Securities Act and hereby undertakes:

 

1. To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

 

(I)

Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

 

(ii)

Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

 

(iii)

Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

 

2. That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

 
61
 
 

 

4. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

A. For determining liability of the undersigned issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

 

i.

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

 

ii.

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned issuer;

 

 

 

iii.

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned issuer; and

 

 

iv.

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned issuer to the purchaser.

 

B. That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

"Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable."

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
