NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
 
NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of CMG Holdings Group, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes contained in its 2012 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our future results of operations may change materially from the historical results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2012, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CMG Holdings Group, Inc., CMG Acquisition, Inc., CMGO Capital, Inc., XA The Experiential Agency, Inc., CMGO Logistics, Inc., USaveCT and USaveNJ, after elimination of all significant inter-company accounts and transactions.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 were effective January 1, 2008. ASC 820 delays the effective date for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2011. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, regarding marketable securities. The Company invests in securities that are intended to be bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term, and as a result, classifies such investments as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value being reflected as unrealized gains or losses in the current period. In addition, the Company classifies the cash flows from purchases, sales, and maturities of trading securities as cash flows from operating activities.

Details of the Company's marketable trading securities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

NOTE 3– NOTES PAYABLE

Asher Enterprises, Inc.

On October 16, 2012 the company issued a convertible promissory note for $32,500 to Asher. The convertible promissory note bears interest at 8% and is due on July 18, 2013 and any amount not paid by July 18, 2013 will incur a 22% interest rate. The note is convertible at 50% of the average of the lowest three trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the ten trading day period prior to the conversion date after 180 days.

The embedded conversion feature was measured at fair value at inception and on the date of conversion with the change in fair value recorded to earnings.  The addition of the embedded conversion options resulted in a discount to the notes of $27,573 on November 15, 2012. The discounts were being amortized over the terms of the notes to interest expense. The discount balances were $0 and $7,739 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Amortization of $7,739 was recognized as interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The convertible promissory notes have an outstanding balance of $0 and $637,000 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company made total payments on notes payable of $52,500 on notes payable, and $104,500 on borrowings.
NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company has various convertible instruments outstanding more fully described in Note 3.  Because the number of shares to be issued upon settlement cannot be determined under these instruments, the Company cannot determine whether it will have sufficient authorized shares at a given date to settle any other of its share-settleable instruments. As a result, under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”, all other share-settleable instruments must be classified as liabilities.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2013, information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially 5% or more of such stock, (ii) each Director of the Company who owns any Common Stock, and (iii) all Directors and Officers as a group, together with their percentage of beneficial holdings of the outstanding shares. The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK FACTORS

CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION IN WAYS THAT WE CURRENTLY CANNOT PREDICT

The global economy has experienced a significant contraction, with an unprecedented lack of consumer credit within the credit markets and the shift away from discretionary spending within the marketing, communications. The decrease in the economic activity in the United States and in the commercial sectors in which we conduct business could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Continued tightness within the credit markets, volatility, instability and economic weakness of our clients marketing budgets and decrease in discretionary consumer spending associated with our clients business spending may result in a reduction in our revenues.

BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF IT LOSES KEY CLIENTS AND KEY MANAGEMENT

The Company’s loss of one or more significant clients could materially affect results of the Company on a consolidated basis. Our Management is critically important to ongoing results of the Company because, as in any service business, success of the Company is mainly dependent upon the leadership of key executives and management. If key executives were to leave any of our operating divisions, the relationships that the Company has with its clients could be adversely affected.
 
COMPETITION FOR CLIENTS IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIES

The Company operates in a very competitive industry characterized by numerous firms of varying sizes, with no group of firms having dominant positions in the marketplace. Competitive factors include creative expertise, executive management’s, personal relationships, quality and reliability of service and expertise in particular niche areas of the marketplace. In addition, our company’s principal asset is its people, barriers to entry are minimal, and relatively small firms may be on occasion able to take some portion of a client’s business from a larger competitor. While many of the Company’s client relationships are long-standing, clients may at times place their marketing services businesses up for competitive review from time to time, including at times when clients enter into strategic transactions. To the extent that the Company fails to maintain existing clients or attract new clients, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may be affected in a materially adverse manner.

ABILITY TO GENERATE NEW BUSINESS FROM NEW AND EXISTING CLIENTS MAY BE LIMITED

To increase revenues, the Company needs to obtain additional clients, generate demand for additional services from existing clients and partner with external marketing firms to mutually service as single or multiple of clients. The company’s ability to generate demand for its services from new clients, additional demand from existing clients partner with external marketing firms to mutually service as single or multiple of clients is subject to clients’ requirements, pre-existing vendor relationships, financial condition, strategic plans and internal resources, as well as the quality of the Company’s employees, services and reputation and the breadth of its services. To the extent the Company cannot generate new business from new and existing clients due to these limitations; it will limit the Company’s ability to grow its business and to increase its revenues.

REVENUES ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DECLINES AS A RESULT OF GENERAL ADVERSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS

The marketing communications services industry is cyclical and is subject to the negative effects of economic downturns. The Company’s marketing services operations are also exposed to the risk of clients changing their business plans and/or reducing their marketing budgets. As a result, if the U.S. markets and economies continue to weaken, our businesses, financial condition and gross revenues are likely to be negatively affected may be suspect to declines from quarter to quarter or from year to year.

BENEFITS EXPECTED FROM CURRENT ACQUISITION OR PRIOR ACQUISITIONS MADE IN THE FUTURE MAY NOT BE REALIZED

The Company’s business strategy includes ongoing efforts to engage in material acquisitions of ownership interests in entities in the marketing communications services industry. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions by using any available cash from operations, through incurrence of debt or bridge financing or by issuing equity, which may have a dilutive impact on its existing shareholders. At any given time the Company may be engaged in a number of discussions that may result in one or more material acquisitions. These opportunities require confidentiality and may involve negotiations that require quick responses by the Company. Although there is uncertainty that any of these discussions will result in definitive agreements or the completion of any transactions, the announcement of any such transaction may lead to increased volatility in the trading price of its securities. The success of acquisitions or strategic investments depends on the effective integration of newly acquired businesses into the Company’s current operations. Such integration is subject to risks and uncertainties, including realization of anticipated synergies and cost savings, the ability to retain and attract personnel and clients, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, and undisclosed or potential legal liabilities of the acquired company. The Company may not realize the strategic and financial benefits that it expects from any of its past acquisitions, or any future acquisitions.

BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF IT LOSES OR FAILS TO ATTRACT KEY EMPLOYEES

Our executive management and our employees, including creative, research, media, account and their skills and relationships with clients, are among the Company’s most critically important assets. An important aspect of the Company’s competitiveness is its ability to retain key employee and executive management. The compensation for these key employees is an essential factor in attracting and retaining them and the Company may not offer a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain these key employees. If the Company fails to hire and retain a sufficient number of these key employees, it may not be able to compete effectively.

BUSINESS EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF CLIENT MEDIA ACCOUNT DEFAULTS

The Company often incurs expenses on behalf of its clients in order to secure a variety of opportunities in exchange for which it receives a fee. While the Company acts to prevent against default on payment for these services and have historically had a very low incidence of default, the Company is still exposed to the risk of significant uncollectible receivables from our clients.
 
SUBJECT TO REGULATIONS THAT COULD RESTRICT ITS ACTIVITIES OR NEGATIVELY IMPACT ITS REVENUES

Marketing communications businesses are subject to government regulation, both domestic and foreign. There has been an increasing tendency in the United States on the part of advertisers to resort to litigation and self-regulatory bodies to challenge comparative advertising on the grounds that the advertising is false and deceptive. Moreover, there has recently been an expansion of specific rules, prohibitions, media restrictions, labeling disclosures and warning requirements with respect to advertising for certain products. Representatives within government bodies, both domestic and foreign, continue to initiate proposals to ban the advertising of specific products and to impose taxes on or deny deductions for advertising which, if successful, may have an adverse effect on advertising expenditures and consequently the Company’s revenues.

THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY FLUCTUATION RISKS

Although the Company’s financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, a portion of its revenues and operating costs may be denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and other currencies, may affect the Company’s financial results and competitive position.

Asher Enterprises, Inc.

The note is convertible at 58% of the average of the lowest trading price for the Company’s common stock during the ten trading day period prior to the conversion date after 180 days. The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the instrument should be classified as liabilities once the conversion option becomes effective after 180 days due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

PUBLIC COMPANY COMPLIANCE MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, the Company expects these new rules and regulations to increase compliance costs in 2010 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, the Company also expects that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO LIQUID TRADING MARKET FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND THE COMPANY CANNOT ENSURE THAT ONE WILL EVER DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED

The Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTCQB trading under the symbol CMGO.PK. However, there is limited trading activity and not currently a liquid trading market. There is no assurance as to when or whether a liquid trading market will develop, and if such a market does develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “OTCQB”), it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital. As a result, purchasers of the Company’s common stock may have difficulty selling their shares in the public market, and the market price may be subject to significant volatility.

THE COMPANY’S STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE

The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the following: technological innovations or new products and services by the Company or its competitors; additions or departures of key personnel; limited “public float” following the Reorganization , in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the common stock; the Company’s ability to execute its business plan; operating results that fall below expectations; loss of any strategic relationship; industry developments; economic and other external factors; and period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

OFFERS OR AVAILABILITY FOR SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE OR COULD AFFECT THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL WORKING CAPITAL

If the Company’s current stockholders seek to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market either upon expiration of any required holding period under Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of the Company’s common stock could fall substantially. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional financing in the future through sale of securities at a time and price that the Company deems acceptable.

THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY DEEMED TO BE “PENNY STOCK”, WHICH MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES

The Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.

THE ELIMINATION OF MONETARY LIABILITY AGAINST THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES UNDER NEVADA LAW AND THE EXISTENCE OF INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS TO THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL EXPENDITURES BY THE COMPANY AND MAY DISCOURAGE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

The Company’s certificate of incorporation does not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to the Company and the Company’s stockholders; however, the Company is prepared to give such indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. The Company may also have contractual indemnification obligations under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by the Company’s stockholders against the Company’s directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.

PART II

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to certain claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On April 21, 2011, the Company was served with a lawsuit that was filed in Clark County, Nevada against the Company by A to Z Holdings, LLC and seven other individuals or entities. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company’s Board of Directors did not have the power to designate series A and B preferred stock without amending the articles of incorporation. The complaint also alleges any such amendment would require shareholder approval and filing of a proxy statement. On April 20, 2012, the Company settled with A to Z Holdings, LLC and seven other individuals or entities for $10,000. The Company has accrued this settlement liability as of June 30, 2013.

On July 6, 2011, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court for the County of Multnomah, Oregon. The complaint alleges breach of contract and entitlement to consulting fees from the Company. The case was settled in 2012 for $30,000. The Company has accrued for this liability as of June 30, 2013.
