Explanation of Anticipated Change in Results of Operations

 

On September 30, 2016, in connection with its initial public offering, the Company completed the acquisition of the mixed martial arts business assets of seven private companies and purchased the mixed martial arts related media libraries of two others. From the formation of the Company on February 12, 2015 until September 30, 2016, the Company had no operations or revenue, limited assets consisting only of prepaid expenses, and liabilities incurred in connection with the anticipated initial public offering and concurrent acquisition of assets. Accordingly, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had total assets of $25,000, total liabilities of $406,167, and loss from operations of $386,456 . During that period, the Company had no cash flow from operations, cash flow from borrowing from an affiliate of $358,739, and net loss per share of $0.07. As a result of the completion of the initial public offering and the acquisitions described above, and after adjusting for certain non-cash compensation expenses incurred prior to the initial public offering, we estimate that, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Company will have assets of approximately $14.0 million and total liabilities of approximately $0.3 million, and will incur a loss from operations of approximately $3.3 million, or approximately $0.46 per share.
