Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Operations
Recall Studios, Inc. (formerly “Carolco Pictures, Inc.” formerly “Brick Top Productions, Inc” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under the name “York Entertainment, Inc.” The Company changed its name to Brick Top Productions, Inc. in October 2010. In January 2015, the Company changed its name from Brick Top Productions, Inc. to Carolco Pictures, Inc. In addition, in January 2015, the Company changed its stock symbol from “BTOP” to “CRCO.” On October 17, 2017, the Company filed an articles of amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its corporate name from Carolco Pictures, Inc. to Recall Studio, Inc., pending approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Effective November 29, 2017, following receipt of FINRA’s approval, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Recall Studio, Inc. and its stock symbol was changed to “BTOP.” In addition, effective immediately, the Company began to do business as Brick Top Productions.
Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,722,000 at June 30, 2018 and incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $2,882,000 and utilized net cash used in operating activities of $1,605,000 . These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent public accounting firm in its audit report to the financial statements included in the 2017 Annual Report expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management estimates that the current funds on hand and raising capital through proceeds from the sale of common stock subscriptions will be sufficient to continue operations through 2018. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to execute its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity securities for cash to operate its business. Management is also monetizing the Company's intellectual property and seeks to increase operational revenues through its myriad applications which are available on various platforms. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available, or operational revenues, 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 our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reverse Stock Split
In January 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All shares and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated as of the earliest periods presented to reflect the stock split.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include depreciable lives of property and equipment, analysis of impairments of recorded goodwill, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services.

Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:
Name
of consolidated subsidiary or entity |
State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization | Date of incorporation or formation (date of acquisition, if applicable) | Attributable interest |
||||
York Productions, LLC | The State of Florida | October 22, 2008 (June 1, 2010) | 60 | % | |||
York Productions II, LLC | The State of Florida | June 13, 2013 | 60 | % | |||
Recall Studios, Inc. | The State of Nevada | March 30, 2016 (July 27, 2016) | 100 | % |
The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. The consolidated accounts include 100% of the assets and liabilities of our majority owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as a minority interest. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. York Productions, LLC and York Productions II, LLC are currently inactive. On June 15, 2017, Recall Studios, Inc. entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Metropolitan Sound + Vision LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Metro all of the shares of common stock of S&G Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation doing business as High Five Entertainment owned by the Company, which constitute 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of S&G. The assets, liabilities and results of operations of S&G have been reclassified to discontinued operations for financial statement presentation in 2017.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued payroll, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of notes payable and convertible notes approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.
8 |
The carrying amount of the Company’s derivative liability of $2,831,000 as of June 30, 2018 and $1,867,000 as of December 31, 2017 was based on Level 3 measurements.
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance. All Non-controlling interest was eliminated as part of the sale of S&G Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation doing business as High Five Entertainment in 2017.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s Recall Studios subsidiary produces software applications for third-parties on a consulting basis. Revenues from these services are recognized when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the show/episode is complete, and in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery; (iii) the price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that upon revenue being generated, the Company will disaggregate revenue into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by FASB where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Options and warrants granted to non-employees are revalued each reporting period to determine the amount to be recorded as an expense in the respective period. As the options and warrants vest, they are valued on each vesting date and an adjustment is recorded for the difference between the value already recorded and the then current value on the date of vesting. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option and warrant grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.
The fair value of the Company’s stock option and warrant grants are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted income (loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, warrants exercisable into 239 shares of common stock, convertible Series C Preferred stock that can convert into 2,524,982 shares of common stock, and notes that can convert into 7,583,647 shares of common stock have also been excluded because their impact on the income per share is anti-dilutive.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the calculation of diluted earnings per share included convertible Series A Preferred stock that can convert into 2,000,000 shares of common stock, convertible Series B Preferred stock that can convert into 81,023,982 shares of common stock, convertible Series C Preferred stock that can convert into 2,848,982 and notes that can convert into 1,058,537 shares of common stock .
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the June 30, 2018 reporting date.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 5- Derivative Liability
The FASB has issued authoritative guidance whereby instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. Certain warrants issued to investors and conversion features of notes payable did not have fixed settlement provisions because either their exercise prices will be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future or the conversion price is variable. In addition, since the number of shares to be issued is not explicitly limited, the Company is unable to conclude that enough authorized and unissued shares are available to share settle the conversion option. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the notes was separated from the host contract (i.e., the notes) and the fair value of the warrants have been recognized as a derivative and will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
The derivative liabilities were valued at the following dates using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following average assumptions:
June 30, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Stock Price | $ | 0.42 | $ | .31 | ||||
Risk free interest rate | 1.77-2.33 | % | 0.84 | % | ||||
Expected Volatility | 199 | % | 476 | % | ||||
Expected life in years | 0.17-0.92 | 0.25-0.79 | ||||||
Expected dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Fair Value – Warrants | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | ||||
Fair Value – Note Conversion Feature | 2,831,000 | 1,867,000 | ||||||
Total | $ | 2,831,000 | $ | 1,867,000 |
15 |
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the derivative securities was determined by the remaining contractual life of the derivative instrument. For derivative instruments that already matured, the Company used the estimated life. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $3,403,000 in derivative liability as a result of conversion features from the issuance of new convertible notes payables (see Note 3). In addition the Company recorded a gain of $2,439,000 to account for the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the conversion features from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the derivative liability amounted to $2,831,000.

The Company recognized a gain on the sale of S&G of $57,000 consisting of the assumption by the buyer of the net liabilities of S&G of $236,000 offsets by the elimination of the non-controlling interest of S&G of $189,000 and the purchase price consideration of $10,000. The remainder of the purchase price will be recognized when collectability can be determined.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events
Evolution AI Corporation Share Exchange Agreement
On June 13, 2018, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Evolution AI Corporation (“EAI”), a privately held Florida corporation, and its shareholders pursuant to which we intend to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of EAI. Upon closing of the transaction, EAI will become our wholly owned subsidiary.
To effectuate the transaction, shareholders of EAI will deliver to the Company an aggregate of 31,645,000 shares of EAI common stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding EAI common stock. In exchange for such shares, we agreed to deliver to the EAI shareholders 12.64 shares of our common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) for each share of EAI common stock, or an aggregate of approximately 400,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment based on the 10-day average closing price of our common stock, as quoted on the OTC Market’s OTCQB tier, for the 10-day period immediately prior to the closing day, as necessary for us to deliver a target valuation of exchange consideration equal to $200 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the EAI shareholders have agreed that the average price to be used in determining the final exchange consideration shall be based on a maximum closing stock price of $0.60 per share and a minimum closing stock price of $0.40 per share, such that the minimum and maximum number of Exchange Shares payable in the aggregate to the EAI shareholders shall be 333,333,000 shares and 500,000,000 shares, respectively.
It was originally anticipated that we would hold the initial closing of the transaction upon receipt of the consent of at least 90% of the outstanding shares of EAI (the “Initial Closing”), and no later than June 30, 2018, with additional closings up to 30 days thereafter as necessary to acquire the approval of any remaining outstanding EAI shares.
The Exchange Agreement may be terminated by each of the EAI shareholders or the Company (i) if the Initial Closing has not occurred by June 30, 2018; (ii) if the transaction is not approved by the requisite number of the outstanding shares of EAI common stock, unless a lesser number is agreed to by the Company; or (iii) if certain customary closing conditions have not been satisfied.
Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to register the Exchange Shares. Holders of EAI common stock have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements limiting the amount of open market sales of the Exchange Shares to an amount, during the immediate six months following the closing of the transaction, not to exceed 10% of the average weekly trading volume of the Company’s common stock. These lock-up agreements shall not preclude the EAI shareholders from selling the Exchange Shares in block transactions through a qualified investment bank which is either selected or approved by the Company.
Series X Preferred Stock
On August 6, 2018, we amended our Articles of Incorporation as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida to designate the Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series X Preferred Stock”), as a series of preferred stock of the Company. 1,000,000 shares of Series X Preferred Stock are authorized.
Holders of shares of Series X Preferred Stock (each, a “Series X Holder”) are entitled to receive dividends and distributions as and when paid on the shares of our common stock, on an as-converted basis, assuming that such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock, as described below, immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution. Series X Holders are also entitled to vote on an as converted basis with the shares of our common stock, and voting with the common stock as one class, assuming that such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to the record date for such vote. The Series X Preferred Stock does not have any preferences in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, a merger or consolidation of the Company wherein the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets (each, a “Liquidation Event”), but will participate with the common stock on any distributions made to the common stock in connection with any Liquidation Event on an as converted basis, assuming that such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution.
19 |
Shares of Series X Preferred Stock are not currently convertible into common stock, however each share of Series X Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the effectiveness of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation following the date of the issuance of any shares of Series X Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”) which effects a reverse stock split of our common stock or increases the authorized shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, by an amount sufficient to enable the conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock. Each whole share of Series X Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding shall, automatically and without any further action of any Series X Holder, convert into 450 shares of our common stock, with any fractional shares of Series X Stock being converted into a proportionate number of shares of our common stock, and with any fractional shares of common stock issuable as a result of such conversion being rounded up to the next nearest whole share of common stock. No Series X Holder will have any right to voluntarily effect conversions of the Series X Preferred Stock.
In the event of any forward or reverse split of the common stock following the Issuance Date, the conversion ratios as set forth above will be proportionately and equitably adjusted automatically. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, then and in each such event each Series X Holder will have the right upon conversion to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of common stock which the Series X Holder would have received had it converted such shares immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, at the conversion ratio then in effect. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there is a capital reorganization of our common stock then, as a part of such reorganization, provisions shall be made so that the Series X Holders will be entitled to receive upon conversion of their shares of Series X Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled to receive had the Series X Holder converted such shares immediately prior to such capital reorganization, at the conversion ratio then in effect.
Shares of Series X Preferred Stock converted into common stock may not be reissued by the Company and no fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share of common stock as to which a Series X Holder would otherwise be entitled upon such conversion, we will round such fractional share of common stock up to the next whole share of common stock.
The issuance of shares on conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Series X Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Series X Conversion Shares, which shall be paid by us.
Closing Share Exchange Agreement
On August 8, 2018, the Company entered into the Closing Share Exchange Agreement and Joinder (the “Closing Agreement”) dated August 8, 2018 by and among the Company, EAI and the shareholders of EAI (the “EIA Shareholders”), which operated to amend the Exchange Agreement in certain respects and to provide for the closing of the transactions contemplated therein.
Pursuant to the terms of the Closing Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire up to all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of EAI, representing 100% of EAI’s issued and outstanding shares of stock, from the EAI Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of one share of the Company’s Series X preferred stock (the “Series X Stock”) for each 31.645 shares of EAI common stock issued and outstanding, with any fractional shares of Series X Stock issuable therefore being rounded to the nearest whole shares of Series X Stock (the “Exchange”), such that an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Series X Stock shall be issued for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of EAI, with each whole share of Series X Stock originally being convertible into 450 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 450,000,000 shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Series X Stock (prior to any adjustments as set forth in the Closing Agreement). As a result of the Exchange, EAI became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the closing date, the Company owned approximately 99.7% of EAI’s outstanding shares. The parties intend that the Exchange will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Exchange closed on August 8, 2018.
Pursuant to the terms of the Closing Agreement, all but one of those EAI Shareholders that did not sign, and were not parties to, the Exchange Agreement became parties to the Closing Agreement upon execution of the Closing Agreement, as though original parties to the Exchange Agreement.
20 |
Following the closing of the Exchange, the Company intends to complete a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock on such terms as determined by the Company’s board of directors, currently contemplated to be a 1-for-25 reverse stock split, pursuant to which each 25 issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock will be exchanged and combined into one new share of Company common stock, with any resulting fractional shares to be rounded up the nearest whole share of common stock, and with the authorized shares of Company common stock not being adjusted (the “Reverse Split”). Assuming that the Reverse Split is consummated at the currently contemplated 1-for-25 structure, and assuming that the Series X Stock has not been converted into Company common stock prior to the Reverse Split occurring, following the Reverse Split each share of Series X Stock will be convertible into 0.5688 shares of Company common stock.
In the Closing Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Company did not have, as of the closing date of the Exchange, sufficient shares of Company common stock authorized to enable conversion of all of the shares of Series X Stock issued in the Exchange. Following the closing, in the event that following the Reverse Split, the Company still does not have sufficient shares of common stock authorized so as to enable the conversion of all of the shares of Series X Stock to be issued hereunder, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect an amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock. The conversion of the Series X Stock into common stock will occur automatically upon such an authorized share increase.
Pursuant to the terms of the Closing Agreement, in any vote of the Company’s shareholders required to effect the Reverse Split or an authorized share increase, the EAI Shareholders agreed to vote all shares of Company common stock and Series X Stock held by them “for” approval of the Reverse Split, the authorized share increase and any amendments of the Company’s articles as required in connection therewith.
The Company also agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon conversion of the Series X Stock upon completion of the authorized share increase in an amount not to exceed 30% of the total outstanding shares of stock, or such amount as the SEC requires in order to qualify as a re-sale registration, to be apportioned among the EAI Shareholders pro rata.
In the Closing Agreement, the parties agreed that immediately following the closing of the Exchange, Alexander Bafer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, would resign as Chief Executive Officer and be appointed as the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board. In addition, John Textor would be named as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors.
The Closing Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that the parties have made to each other.
Voting Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Exchange, Messrs. Textor and Bafer entered into a Voting Agreement as of August 8, 2018 (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote all shares of the Company’s capital stock held by them (the “Textor and Bafer Shares”) as follows:
1. | Size of the Company’s Board. Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares to ensure that the size of the Company’s board of directors remains at five directors unless or until Messrs. Textor and Bafer unanimously determine to increase the size of the board. | |

3. | Availability of Board Member; Expansion of Board. In the event that any person listed in #2 above is not available to serve as a director, Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to amend the Voting Agreement to replace such person(s) with replacement directors; provided, however, that if Mr. Bafer is the person who is unavailable, then Mr. Bafer will identify the replacement person alone, and if Mr. Textor is the person who is unavailable, then Mr. Textor will identify the replacement person alone. In addition, if the board size is increased, it will be increased to a total of seven directors, of whom Mr. Textor will have the right, but not the obligation, to name, with the advice and consent of Mr. Bafer, and Messrs. Bafer and Textor agree to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares for such additional persons. | |
4. | Removal of Board Members. Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares to ensure that (a) no director elected pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement may be removed from office other than for cause unless such removal is director or approved by the agreement of Messrs. Textor and Bafer, and (b) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal of deal of any director elected pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement will be filled pursuant to the written agreement of Messrs. Textor and Bafer. | |
5. | Increase Authorized Common Stock. Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares to increase the number of authorized shares of Company common stock from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of common stock available for conversion of all of the shares of Series X preferred shares outstanding at any given time. |

Evolution AI Corporation Share Exchange Agreement
On June 13, 2018, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Evolution AI Corporation (“EAI”), a privately held Florida corporation, and its shareholders pursuant to which we intend to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of EAI. Upon closing of the transaction, EAI will become our wholly owned subsidiary.
To effectuate the transaction, shareholders of EAI will deliver to the Company an aggregate of 31,645,000 shares of EAI common stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding EAI common stock. In exchange for such shares, we agreed to deliver to the EAI shareholders 12.64 shares of our common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) for each share of EAI common stock, or an aggregate of approximately 400,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment based on the 10-day average closing price of our common stock, as quoted on the OTC Market’s OTCQB tier, for the 10-day period immediately prior to the closing day, as necessary for us to deliver a target valuation of exchange consideration equal to $200 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the EAI shareholders have agreed that the average price to be used in determining the final exchange consideration shall be based on a maximum closing stock price of $0.60 per share and a minimum closing stock price of $0.40 per share, such that the minimum and maximum number of Exchange Shares payable in the aggregate to the EAI shareholders shall be 333,333,000 shares and 500,000,000 shares, respectively.
It was originally anticipated that we would hold the initial closing of the transaction upon receipt of the consent of at least 90% of the outstanding shares of EAI (the “Initial Closing”), and no later than June 30, 2018, with additional closings up to 30 days thereafter as necessary to acquire the approval of any remaining outstanding EAI shares.
The Exchange Agreement may be terminated by each of the EAI shareholders or the Company (i) if the Initial Closing has not occurred by June 30, 2018; (ii) if the transaction is not approved by the requisite number of the outstanding shares of EAI common stock, unless a lesser number is agreed to by the Company; or (iii) if certain customary closing conditions have not been satisfied.
Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to register the Exchange Shares. Holders of EAI common stock have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements limiting the amount of open market sales of the Exchange Shares to an amount, during the immediate six months following the closing of the transaction, not to exceed 10% of the average weekly trading volume of the Company’s common stock. These lock-up agreements shall not preclude the EAI shareholders from selling the Exchange Shares in block transactions through a qualified investment bank which is either selected or approved by the Company.
Series X Preferred Stock
On August 6, 2018, we amended our Articles of Incorporation as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida to designate the Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series X Preferred Stock”), as a series of preferred stock of the Company. 1,000,000 shares of Series X Preferred Stock are authorized.
24 |
Holders of shares of Series X Preferred Stock (each, a “Series X Holder”) are entitled to receive dividends and distributions as and when paid on the shares of our common stock, on an as-converted basis, assuming that such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock, as described below, immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution. Series X Holders are also entitled to vote on an as converted basis with the shares of our common stock, and voting with the common stock as one class, assuming that such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to the record date for such vote. The Series X Preferred Stock does not have any preferences in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, a merger or consolidation of the Company wherein the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets (each, a “Liquidation Event”), but will participate with the common stock on any distributions made to the common stock in connection with any Liquidation Event on an as converted basis, assuming that such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution.
Shares of Series X Preferred Stock are not currently convertible into common stock, however each share of Series X Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the effectiveness of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation following the date of the issuance of any shares of Series X Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”) which effects a reverse stock split of our common stock or increases the authorized shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, by an amount sufficient to enable the conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock. Each whole share of Series X Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding shall, automatically and without any further action of any Series X Holder, convert into 450 shares of our common stock, with any fractional shares of Series X Stock being converted into a proportionate number of shares of our common stock, and with any fractional shares of common stock issuable as a result of such conversion being rounded up to the next nearest whole share of common stock. No Series X Holder will have any right to voluntarily effect conversions of the Series X Preferred Stock.
In the event of any forward or reverse split of the common stock following the Issuance Date, the conversion ratios as set forth above will be proportionately and equitably adjusted automatically. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, then and in each such event each Series X Holder will have the right upon conversion to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of common stock which the Series X Holder would have received had it converted such shares immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, at the conversion ratio then in effect. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there is a capital reorganization of our common stock then, as a part of such reorganization, provisions shall be made so that the Series X Holders will be entitled to receive upon conversion of their shares of Series X Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled to receive had the Series X Holder converted such shares immediately prior to such capital reorganization, at the conversion ratio then in effect.
Shares of Series X Preferred Stock converted into common stock may not be reissued by the Company and no fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share of common stock as to which a Series X Holder would otherwise be entitled upon such conversion, we will round such fractional share of common stock up to the next whole share of common stock.
The issuance of shares on conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Series X Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Series X Conversion Shares, which shall be paid by us.

Closing Share Exchange Agreement
On August 8, 2018, the Company entered into the Closing Share Exchange Agreement and Joinder (the “Closing Agreement”) dated August 8, 2018 by and among the Company, EAI and the shareholders of EAI (the “EIA Shareholders”), which operated to amend the Exchange Agreement in certain respects and to provide for the closing of the transactions contemplated therein.
Pursuant to the terms of the Closing Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire up to all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of EAI, representing 100% of EAI’s issued and outstanding shares of stock, from the EAI Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of one share of the Company’s Series X preferred stock (the “Series X Stock”) for each 31.645 shares of EAI common stock issued and outstanding, with any fractional shares of Series X Stock issuable therefore being rounded to the nearest whole shares of Series X Stock (the “Exchange”), such that an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Series X Stock shall be issued for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of EAI, with each whole share of Series X Stock originally being convertible into 450 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 450,000,000 shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Series X Stock (prior to any adjustments as set forth in the Closing Agreement). As a result of the Exchange, EAI became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the closing date, the Company owned approximately 99.7% of EAI’s outstanding shares. The parties intend that the Exchange will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Exchange closed on August 8, 2018.
Pursuant to the terms of the Closing Agreement, all but one of those EAI Shareholders that did not sign, and were not parties to, the Exchange Agreement became parties to the Closing Agreement upon execution of the Closing Agreement, as though original parties to the Exchange Agreement.
Following the closing of the Exchange, the Company intends to complete a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock on such terms as determined by the Company’s board of directors, currently contemplated to be a 1-for-25 reverse stock split, pursuant to which each 25 issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock will be exchanged and combined into one new share of Company common stock, with any resulting fractional shares to be rounded up the nearest whole share of common stock, and with the authorized shares of Company common stock not being adjusted (the “Reverse Split”). Assuming that the Reverse Split is consummated at the currently contemplated 1-for-25 structure, and assuming that the Series X Stock has not been converted into Company common stock prior to the Reverse Split occurring, following the Reverse Split each share of Series X Stock will be convertible into 0.5688 shares of Company common stock.
In the Closing Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Company did not have, as of the closing date of the Exchange, sufficient shares of Company common stock authorized to enable conversion of all of the shares of Series X Stock issued in the Exchange. Following the closing, in the event that following the Reverse Split, the Company still does not have sufficient shares of common stock authorized so as to enable the conversion of all of the shares of Series X Stock to be issued hereunder, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect an amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock. The conversion of the Series X Stock into common stock will occur automatically upon such an authorized share increase.
Pursuant to the terms of the Closing Agreement, in any vote of the Company’s shareholders required to effect the Reverse Split or an authorized share increase, the EAI Shareholders agreed to vote all shares of Company common stock and Series X Stock held by them “for” approval of the Reverse Split, the authorized share increase and any amendments of the Company’s articles as required in connection therewith.
The Company also agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon conversion of the Series X Stock upon completion of the authorized share increase in an amount not to exceed 30% of the total outstanding shares of stock, or such amount as the SEC requires in order to qualify as a re-sale registration, to be apportioned among the EAI Shareholders pro rata.
In the Closing Agreement, the parties agreed that immediately following the closing of the Exchange, Alexander Bafer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, would resign as Chief Executive Officer and be appointed as the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board. In addition, John Textor would be named as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors.
The Closing Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that the parties have made to each other.
Voting Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Exchange, Messrs. Textor and Bafer entered into a Voting Agreement as of August 8, 2018 (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote all shares of the Company’s capital stock held by them (the “Textor and Bafer Shares”) as follows:
6. | Size of the Company’s Board. Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares to ensure that the size of the Company’s board of directors remains at five directors unless or until Messrs. Textor and Bafer unanimously determine to increase the size of the board. | |
7. | Board Composition. Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares to ensure, unless otherwise agreed in writing, that at each annual or special meeting of the shareholders or pursuant to any written consent of the shareholders, the following persons will be elected to the board: Mr. Bafer, Mr. Textor, Bradley Albert, Frank Esposito and Justin Morris. | |
8. | Availability of Board Member; Expansion of Board. In the event that any person listed in #2 above is not available to serve as a director, Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to amend the Voting Agreement to replace such person(s) with replacement directors; provided, however, that if Mr. Bafer is the person who is unavailable, then Mr. Bafer will identify the replacement person alone, and if Mr. Textor is the person who is unavailable, then Mr. Textor will identify the replacement person alone. In addition, if the board size is increased, it will be increased to a total of seven directors, of whom Mr. Textor will have the right, but not the obligation, to name, with the advice and consent of Mr. Bafer, and Messrs. Bafer and Textor agree to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares for such additional persons. | |
9. | Removal of Board Members. Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares to ensure that (a) no director elected pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement may be removed from office other than for cause unless such removal is director or approved by the agreement of Messrs. Textor and Bafer, and (b) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal of deal of any director elected pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement will be filled pursuant to the written agreement of Messrs. Textor and Bafer. | |
10. | Increase Authorized Common Stock. Messrs. Textor and Bafer agreed to vote their Textor and Bafer Shares to increase the number of authorized shares of Company common stock from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of common stock available for conversion of all of the shares of Series X preferred shares outstanding at any given time. |

The closing of the share exchange contemplated by the BTH and SV Exchange Agreement occurred on August 8, 2018. On such date, the Company issued (i) 81,750,000 shares of Company common stock in exchange for receipt of 3,750,000 shares of Series A preferred shares from Brick Top, and (ii) 27,250,000 shares of Company common stock in exchange for receipt of 1,250,000 shares of Series A preferred shares from Southfork.

As of June 30, 2018, our total assets were $378,000 and our total liabilities were $4,100,000 and we had negative working capital of $3,731,000. Our financial statements report a net loss of $2,882,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to net income of $11,665,000, including non-cash gain of $12,173,000 for the change in fair value of derivative liability, for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard, we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions, and, in the short term, will seek to raise additional capital in such manners to fund our operations. We do not currently have any third-party financing available in the form of loans, advances, or commitments. Our officers and shareholders have not made any written or oral agreement to provide us additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise capital on terms and conditions that are deemed acceptable to us.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,722,000 at June 30, 2018, incurred a net loss from operations of $2,882,000 and used cash in operating activities of $1,605,000 for the period then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to produce sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds.
In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the June 30, 2018 reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting policies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outsourced accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which, we believe, will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
31 |
The Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Except for income tax contingencies (commencing April 1, 2009), the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.
Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 3,896,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $946,000
The securities referenced above were issued solely to “accredited investors” in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

ARTICLE III
SHARE EXCHANGE
Section 3.01 The Exchange. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.02), (i) the EAI Shareholders listed in Composite Exhibit A, representing an aggregate of 31,645,000 shares of EAI common stock (the “Total EAI Shares Outstanding”), upon their agreement, shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, restrictions or known claims of any kind, nature, or description, all of the shares of EAI held by them as set forth on Composite Exhibit A; the objective of such purchase (the “Exchange”) being the acquisition by the Company of 100%, and not less than 90%, of the issued and outstanding shares of EAI common stock. In exchange for the transfer of such securities by the EAI Shareholders, the Company shall deliver to the EAI Shareholders [12.64] (the “Initial Exchange Ratio”) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) for each share of EAI common stock, or an aggregate of approximately 400,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Exchange Consideration”). Such initial exchange consideration, specifically the aggregate amount of Exchange Shares payable to EAI Shareholders, is subject to adjustment based on the ten-day average closing price (“Average Price”) of Company Common Stock, as quoted on OTC Markets, for the ten-day period immediately prior to the day of Closing, as necessary for Company to deliver a target value (“Target Valuation”) of exchange consideration equal to Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00). For purposes of clarity, the amount of Exchange Shares payable in the aggregate as consideration to EAI Shareholders at Closing (the “Final Exchange Consideration”) shall be equal to the Target Valuation divided by the Average Price. The actual number of Exchange Shares to be delivered by the Company to EAI Shareholders, for each share of EAI common stock exchanged (the “Final Exchange Ratio”), shall be equal to the Final Exchange Consideration divided by the Total EAI Shares Outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the EAI Shareholders hereby agree that the Average Price used in determining the Final Exchange Consideration shall be deemed to have a maximum price of $0.60 per share and a minimum price of $0.40 per share, such that the minimum and maximum number of shares payable in the aggregate to the EAI Shareholders shall be 333,333,000 shares and 500,000,000 shares, respectively.
Section 3.02 Closing. The closing (“Initial Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall occur following completion of the conditions set forth in Articles V and VI, and upon delivery of the Exchange Consideration as described in Section 3.01 herein. The Initial Closing shall take place at a mutually agreeable time and place and is anticipated to close by no later than June 30, 2018, but in no event before this Agreement has been signed by EAI Shareholders holding at least 90% of the shares of EAI common stock outstanding (the “Initial Closing Date”). Subsequent to the Initial Closing Date, the Company may complete one or more additional Closings to complete the exchanges provided for in this Agreement to allow the Company to complete the acquisition of up to a 100% interest in EAI for a period of up to 30 days after the Closing Date. Each closing that occurs after the Initial Closing Date, along with the Closing or the Initial Closing shall be collectively be referred to as the “Closing” or “Closing Date”.
Section 3.03 Closing Events. At the Closing, the Company, and EAI shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver (or shall ensure to be executed, acknowledged, and delivered), any and all certificates, opinions, financial statements, schedules, agreements, resolutions, rulings or other instruments required by this Agreement to be so delivered at or prior to the Closing, together with such other items as may be reasonably requested by the parties hereto and their respective legal counsel in order to effectuate or evidence the transactions contemplated hereby. Further, as a condition precedent to closing, this Agreement is subject to the execution of a shareholder voting agreement, among key shareholders, Textor and Bafer, to be mutually agreeable to such shareholders and to the Company.
Section 3.04 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by each of the EAI Shareholders or the Company only (a) in the event that the Company or EAI do not meet the conditions precedent set forth in Articles V and VI or (b) if the Initial Closing has not occurred by June 30, 2018. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this section, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect as to any party hereto, and no obligation, right or liability shall arise hereunder.

ARTICLE VI COVENANTS AND ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
Section 6.01 Joinder. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Joining Shareholders were not parties to the Exchange Agreement. As of the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, each Joining Shareholder hereby agrees that upon execution of this Closing Agreement, such Joining Shareholder shall become a party to this Closing Agreement and shall be fully bound by, and subject to, all of the covenants, terms and conditions of this Closing Agreement as though an original party to the Exchange Agreement and to this Closing Agreement. Each Joining Shareholder hereby acknowledges receipt of, and the opportunity to review, this Closing Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions hereto as a party hereto, and, by executing this Closing Agreement, hereby accepts, adopts and agrees to all terms, conditions and representations set forth in the Exchange Agreement, as amended herein.
Section 6.02 Series X Stock. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company has, prior to the date hereof, designated 1,000,000 shares of its preferred stock as the Series X Stock. The terms and conditions of the Series X Stock are as set forth in the Certificate of Designations for the Series X Stock as attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Series X Certificate of Designation”). Each whole share of Series X Stock is initially convertible into 450 shares of Company Common Stock, with any fractional shares of Series X Stock being convertible into a proportionate number of shares of Company Common Stock, with any fractional shares of Company Common Stock issuable as a result of such conversion being rounded up to the next nearest whole share of Company Common Stock, upon the Company effecting the Reverse Split set forth in Section 6.03 or increasing the number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock as set forth in Section 6.04, or a combination thereof, as necessary to effect such conversion. The Parties acknowledge that the conversion ratio of the Series X Stock and therefore the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be issued on conversion thereof as referenced herein shall be equitably adjusted in the event of the Reverse Split as described in Section 6.03.
15 |
Section 6.03 Reverse Stock Split. Following the Closing Date, the Company intends to complete a reverse stock split of the Common Stock on such terms as determined by the Company Board, currently contemplated to be a 1 for 25 reverse stock split, wherein each 25 issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be exchange and combined into one new share of Company Common Stock, with any resulting fractional shares to be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, and with the authorized shares of Company Common Stock not being adjusted (the “Reverse Split”). Assuming that the Reverse Split is consummated at the currently contemplated 1-for-25 structure, and assuming that the Series X Stock has not been converted into Company Common Stock prior to the Reverse Split occurring, following the Reverse Split each share of Series X Stock will be convertible into 0.5688 shares of Company Common Stock.
Section 6.04 Increase of Authorized Stock. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company currently does not have sufficient shares of Company Common Stock authorized to enable conversion of all of the shares of Series X Stock to be issued in the Exchange. Following the Closing, in the event that following the Reverse Split the Company still does not have sufficient shares of Company Common Stock authorized so as to enable the conversion of all of the shares of Series X Stock to be issued hereunder, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect an amendment of the Company Articles to increase the authorized shares of Company Common Stock thereunder so as to enable conversion of all of the shares of Series X Stock to be issued in the Exchange (the “Authorized Share Increase”). The Series X Certificate of Designation provides that the conversion of the Series X Stock into Company Common Stock shall occur automatically upon the Authorized Share Increase.
Section 6.05 Agreement to Vote. In any vote of the shareholders of the Company as required to effect the Reverse Split or the Authorized Share Increase, each EAI Shareholder covenants and agrees to vote all shares of Company Common Stock and Series X Stock held by such EAI shareholder “FOR” approval of the Reverse Split and the Authorized Share Increase, and any amendment(s) of the Company Articles as required in connection therewith.
Section 6.06 Registration Statement. As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and the completion of the Authorized Share Increase, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a resale registration statement either separately or in conjunction with a follow on or merger registration (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register shares of Company Common Stock that are issued upon conversion of the Series X Stock upon completion of the Authorized Share Increase, in an amount not to exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total outstanding shares of stock or such amount as the SEC requires in order to qualify as a re-sale registration, to be apportioned amongst the EAI Shareholders pro rata based on their respective ownership of the shares of Company Common Stock that are issued upon conversion of the Series X Stock. The Registration Statement shall contain a resale prospectus for the benefit of such EAI Shareholders as selling stockholders. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be reviewed by the SEC and, subject to such review period, to become effective under the Securities Act as soon after such filing as practicable and to keep the Registration Statement effective until the final sale by the selling stockholders of all shares of Company Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement.
16 |
Section 6.07 Lock-Up Agreements. At the Closing, the Company and each of the EAI Shareholders shall enter into a lock-up agreement in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) which the Parties acknowledge will be executed by the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of each EAI Shareholder, which (i) shall prohibit any Transfer of the shares of Series X Stock held by the EAI Shareholders and (ii) shall, following the conversion of the Series X Stock to Company Common Stock and for a period thereafter through the date which is the 6 month anniversary of the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, limit the amount of open market sales of the Company Common Stock by each EAI Shareholder to an amount that is equal to (i) 10% of the average weekly trading volume of the Company Common Stock on the over-the-counter markets or any national securities exchange on which the Company Common Stock is then traded, as reported by NASDAQ or such other customary reporting service as determined by the Company, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued to such EAI Shareholder upon conversion of the Series X Stock issued to such EAI Shareholder at the Closing and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued to all of the EAI Shareholders upon conversion of the Series X Stock issued to all EAI Shareholders pursuant at the Closing. The Lock-Up Agreements shall not preclude the EAI Shareholders, following the conversion of the Series X Stock to Company Common Stock, from selling the Company Common Stock in block transactions through a qualified investment bank which is either selected or approved by the Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to the power of attorney granted to the Shareholders’ Representative by the EAI Shareholders in Section 6.09 and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the power to execute and deliver, on behalf of each EAI Shareholder, any amendments to the Lock-Up Agreement of such EAI Shareholder as determined to be required by the Shareholders’ Representative to be in the best interests of the Company and all of its shareholders and as may be agreed between the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative.
Section 6.08 Officers and Directors. Immediately following the Closing, Alexander Bafer shall resign as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company Board shall take such actions as necessary to name John Textor as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a director on the Company Board. Following the Closing, Alexander Bafer shall be named the Executive Chairman of the Company and the Company and Alexander Bafer shall enter into an employment agreement in connection therewith, in form and substance as reasonably acceptable to such parties.
Section 6.09 Shareholders’ Representative.
(a) Each EAI Shareholder constitutes and appoints John Textor (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) as its representative and its true and lawful attorney in fact, with full power and authority in its name and on its behalf:

Each EAI Shareholder hereby consents to the taking of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 6.09. Each EAI Shareholder agrees that Shareholders’ Representative shall have no obligation or liability to any Person for any action taken or omitted by Shareholders’ Representative in good faith, even if taken or omitted negligently, and each EAI Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless Shareholders’ Representative from, and shall pay to Shareholders’ Representative the amount of, or reimburse Shareholders’ Representative for, any Loss that Shareholders’ Representative may suffer, sustain, or become subject to as a result of any claim made or threatened against Shareholders’ Representative in his capacity as such.
(c) The Company shall be entitled to rely upon any document or other paper delivered by Shareholders’ Representative as being authorized by EAI Shareholders and each EAI Shareholder, and the Company shall not be liable to any EAI Shareholder for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company based on such reliance.

If, after the death, incapacity, or resignation of Shareholders’ Representative, a successor Shareholders’ Representative shall not have been appointed by EAI Shareholders within fifteen (15) Business Days after a request by the Company, the Company may appoint a Shareholders’ Representative from among the EAI Shareholders to fill any vacancy so created by notice of such appointment to EAI Shareholders.
