agent, as of April 10, 2017 there were approximately 58 holders of record of our common stock, which number does not reflect beneficial
stockholders who hold their stock in nominee or “street” name through various brokerage firms.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared any dividends since incorporation
and do not anticipate that we will do so in the foreseeable future. Although there are no restrictions that limit the ability
to pay dividends on our common shares, our intention is to retain future earnings for use in our operations and the expansion
of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which
our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Bang Holdings Corp. was incorporated in the
state of Colorado on May 13, 2014. It is a brand management and digital advertising company that provides content and an influencer-based
marketing network to the cannabis industry. We are a development-stage company and since our inception we have generated only
minimal revenues from business operations.
Our independent registered public accounting
firm has issued a going concern opinion. This means there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business unless
we obtain additional capital to pay our ongoing operational costs. Accordingly, we must locate sources of capital to pay our operational
costs.
Our operational expenditures are primarily
related to development of Bang’s multi-channel advertising network, marketing costs associated with attracting and retaining
users, and the costs related to being a fully reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2016 was a transformative year for Bang Holdings.
We quintupled the direct reach of our 4TwentyToday network of channels over the course of the year to around 500,000 users and
expanded the reach of our social influencer network to more than 11 million. At five persons, our core team has remained small
and highly efficient, and has built a firm foundation for growth in the quarters and years to come.
Business Overview
Bang Holdings Corp wholly owns two subsidiaries,
Bang Digital Media, a cannabis focused digital media company, and Bang Vapor, an e-juice company.
Bang Digital Media is the hub for all ‘cannabusiness’
related advertising, content creation, technology and marketing. It consists of two divisions, the multi-platform 4TTnetwork,
and a network of social media influencers that we call the Green Monkey Network.
The 4TTnetwork is comprised primarily of specifically
targeted audiences. These are 4TwentyToday, VaporBang, and 4TT/V which cross the social media platforms of Facebook, Twitter,
Massroots, Instagram, SnapChat and YouTube.
4TwentyToday is a digital, multi-platform
channel that enables us to target advertising for Bang Holdings products and services across social media platforms. We currently
have in excess of 625,000 users of our network, with a steady growth rate of around three thousand subscribers per week. By continuing
to create targeted, quality content for this community on a daily basis 4TwentyToday has, for example, created one of the most
actively engaged marijuana pages on Facebook. This has built high levels of trust and goodwill in the community, which will be
convertible to revenues once we have reached a critical mass of users.
Using the same skillset, we are developing
VaporBang – a digital, multi-platform community for vaping enthusiasts. At more than 88,000 strong, ours is the largest
vaping community on Facebook. This enabled us to carry out beta testing of product to this targeted audience and to develop strong
recognition for the Bang brand.
Our most successful post on Facebook in 2016
had 15.6 million views, leading to 1,832,507 “reactions,” 610,000 “shares,” and 164,000 “comments.”
The post was created to build upon our social media footprint related to our business, not specifically towards our products.
The ‘Green Monkey Network’ is
a network of social media influencers who are open to working as ambassadors in the marijuana industry. These influencers expand
the Bang network by more than 12 million users.
Ultimately, the KPI of Bang Digital Media
is in the direct and expanded growth of our networks. By continuing to grow 4TwentyToday and the ‘Green Monkey Network’
to 100 million users we will have the digital reach to propel marijuana-friendly brands into the spotlight.
Bang Vapor completed its soft launch in
the first quarter of 2016. Due to costs involved in meeting the new deeming regulations imposed by the FDA on E-liquid Bang Vapor
will not be sustainable or profitable moving forward. During the first quarter of 2017, all Bang Vapor digital property - i.e.
Facebook and other social media pages, created content, subscriber lists, etc. have been transferred to Bang Digital Media.
Plan
of Operations
In the twelve month period, we intend to develop our business in
the following areas:
·
|
Bang
Vapor intends to liquidate inventory and cease all operations in 2017. Bang’s future in the vapor industry will be entirely
managed by Bang Digital Media and focused on content creation, social media and digital marketing.
|
·
|
Bang Digital Media entered into an
agreement with Elevation Ministries to run their digital marketing, social media, and to manage exploitation rights of
their ‘Church of Cannabis’ launching in Q2 2017. The two-year contract signed and announced in Q1 2017, will
be worth a minimum of $250K and potentially more than a $1 million with bonuses.
|
|
Bang Digital Media will continue to pursue new clients to coordinate digital strategy, social media management,
video production, web development, and other online marketing services.
|
·
|
Bang
Digital Media is building out a fully automated digital advertising platform, with a projected Q4 2017 launch. The platform
allows publishers to always receive the highest price for their advertising space, while advertisers can reach the maximum
number of targeted customers, including cannabis customers, at the best price.
|
If we are unable to build our customer base
or gain any clients, we will be forced to cease our development and/or marketing operations until we raise money. Attempting to
raise capital after failing in any phase of our development plan could be difficult. As such, if we cannot secure additional proceeds,
we will have to cease operations and investors would lose their entire investment.
We intend to raise
additional capital through private placements now that we have a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we need additional cash
but are unable to raise it, we will either suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.
Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
Financing
On August 22, 2014, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Platinum Partners Liquid Opportunity Master Fund LP (“Platinum”)
whereby the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the Company at $0.35 per share for a purchase price of $350,000.
In consideration for Platinum agreeing to purchase the 1,000,000 shares, the Company agreed to issue to Platinum share purchase
warrants entitling Platinum the right to acquire 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock, at $0.35 per share. In
October 2014, Platinum purchased the 10% Convertible Debenture for the aggregate amount of $500,000. On September 25, 2015, Platinum
exercised 285,714 warrants for cash proceeds of $100,000. On January 26, 2016 the related party exercised 28,581 warrants for
cash proceeds of $10,000. On March 16, 2016 the related party exercised 285,714 warrants for cash proceeds of $100,000. The outstanding
principal balance on the note at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $500,000. Accrued and unpaid interest on the note at December
31, 2016 and 2015 was $118,219 and $68,082, respectively. The Company is currently in default of the note, making the entire unpaid
principal and interest due and payable.
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
Revenue:
From inception through December 31, 2016 the
Company has generated minimal revenues.
Cost of Goods Sold:
The Company wrote down inventory to net realizable
value as of December 31, 2016 and recorded a loss on write-off of inventory of $72,332 for the year ended December 31, 2016 in
the consolidated statements of operations.
Operating Expenses:
We incurred operating expenses of $1,051,676
for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $1,403,818 during the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $352,142.
The decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease of $237,872 in sales and marketing expenses, a decrease
of $108,217 in professional fees and a decrease of $6,053 in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December
31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015.
Interest Expense:
Interest expense for the year ended December
31, 2016 was $65,796 primarily in relation to the Company’s convertible notes and accretion of debt discount. During the
year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest expense of $293,724.
Net Loss:
We had a net loss of $1,189,654 for the year
ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $1,697,215 for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $507,561. The decrease in
net loss is primarily due to the significant decreases in operating expenses and interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate
funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have
been funding our operations through the sale of our common stock and loans.
Our primary uses of cash have been for payroll
and operating expenses. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity in the near
term:
|
·
|
Development
of a Company website
|
|
·
|
Exploration
of potential marketing and advertising opportunities, and
|
|
·
|
The
cost of being a public company
|
Our net revenues are not sufficient
to fund our operating expenses. At December 31, 2016, we had a cash balance of $244,968. From January 1, 2016
through December 31, 2016, we raised $85,000 from the sale of convertible debentures to independent third party investors,
$30,000 from the sale of convertible debentures to the Company’s president, $379,956 from the sale of common stock
through private placements, $14,000 in advances from related parties and $210,000 from the exercise of warrants to fund our
operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. In addition the Company paid related party convertible notes
in the amount of $30,000 and related party advances in the amount of $15,000.
We currently have no material commitments
for capital expenditures. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, our available cash will not be sufficient to
satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations without further financing. Other than working capital,
we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We may need to raise significant additional capital to fund
our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent
on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities,
obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the
U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities.
Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect
amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore,
if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities
may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain
additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions
and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Going Concern and Management’s
Liquidity Plans
As reflected in the consolidated financial
statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2016, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities
for the year ended and has generated only minimal revenues since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue its
operations is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets,
with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided
by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain
related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any
additional capital.
The Company may also require additional funding
to finance the growth of our anticipated future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. There can be no assurance
that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event, the Company would be
required to change its growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, if at all.
The Company’s plan regarding these matters
is to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to allow the Company the ability to cover its current cash flow requirements
and meet its obligations as they become due. There can be no assurances that financing will be available or if available, that
such financing will be available under favorable terms. In the event that the Company is unable to generate adequate revenues
to cover expenses and cannot obtain additional financing in the near future, the Company may seek protection under bankruptcy
laws. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.

placement of securities of $379,956 and proceeds from related party advances of $7,500. In addition the Company paid related party
convertible notes in the amount of $30,000 and related party advances in the amount of $15,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2016 we had no off-balance
sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and related public
financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.
GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles
that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental
information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition.
We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to U.S. GAAP and are consistently and conservatively
applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue
to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies (along
with new accounting pronouncements) are summarized in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements. While all these significant
accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies
determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management
to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that
given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would
cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
We believe the following critical accounting
policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements:
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The presentation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include
the valuation of website costs, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation and any beneficial conversion features
on convertible debt.
Fair value measurements and Fair value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820,
Fair
Value Measurements
. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and
establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets
that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable
market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which
reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability based on the best available information.
The Company did not identify any assets or
liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
Due to the short-term nature of all financial
assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements
in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition
. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price
is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue when the products are shipped to the customers and collectability
is reasonable assured.
The Company recognizes revenue from advertising
transactions when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable
and collectability is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs
to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718,
Compensation – Stock Compensation.
Under FASB ASC Topic. 718, companies
are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and
recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share
based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights
and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation
amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued to other than employees
are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505,
Equity Based Payments to
Non-Employees
. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b)
the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to
the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains
a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of the Company's management, including the Company's Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation,
the Company's Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of such period end. Management will endeavor to enhance the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures to cause them to become effective.
Management's Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over financial
reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting
includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts
and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would
be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is
not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Management conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control
– Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that
evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December
31, 2016.
The matters involving
internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, (2) lack of a majority of outside directors on our
board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
(3) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (4) lack of expertise with complex GAAP and Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reporting matters and (5) management is dominated by one individual without adequate
compensating controls. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Principal Executive and Financial Officer
in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2016. At this time, management has decided that given
the risks associated with this lack of segregation of duties, the potential benefit of adding additional personnel to clearly
segregate duties does not justify the expenses associated with such benefit. Management will periodically review this matter and
may make modifications, including adding additional personnel, it determines appropriate.
Our management, including
the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to
their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within
the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty
and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of
some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls
is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness
to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration
in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
This annual report
does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules
of the SEC that do not apply to the Company as a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under
the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
None.

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business
experience of our executive officer and director for the past five years.
Steve Berke
was born and raised
in North Miami, Florida. He graduated from Yale University in 2003. Steve has been President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company since May 2014. From 2010 through his engagement with the Company, Steve was a Sales Associate of Condonomics. Inc., a
real estate company involved in sales and leasing of properties. In 2004, Mr. Berke was invited to be one of 16 young entrepreneurs
on a primetime FOX network television show with Virgin Group CEO, Sir Richard Branson. Having learned the importance of branding
and showmanship from his mentor Sir Richard, Mr. Berke began developing his own brand by performing stand-up comedy and creating
a YouTube channel, where he produced comedic videos - which now have more than 30 million views.
In 2011, Mr. Berke ran for Mayor of Miami
Beach against a popular two-term incumbent – he came second out of four candidates, and won almost 30 percent of the votes
cast on Election Day. His unorthodox campaign utilized comedy and his YouTube channel as a vehicle to appeal to young and disenfranchised
voters. Mr. Berke’s campaign gained national attention and was featured in Maxim magazine, the New York Times, the Houston
Chronicle and the San Francisco Gate along with dozens of other publications from coast to coast. Two years later, Mr. Berke threw
his hat in the mayoral race once more – this time with MTV2 filming his every move for a fly-on-the-wall style documentary.
Adam Mutchler
graduated from Yale
University in 2002. Adam has been the Chief Financial Officer of the Company since May 2014, From 2012-2013, Adam was a Freelance
Producer, Project Manager and Visual Effect Manger for the films “Eden” and “Burned”. In 2012 and 2013,
Adam was involved in Project Management for 5D organization. In 2011 and 2012, Adam was a Freelance Producer, Line Producer ad
VFX Film and Viral Content for Steve Berke Comedy, Ghost Team One and Sixth World. He produced the feature film comedy Ghost
Team One which sold to Paramount Pictures after premiering at the Slamdance Film Festival, and Eden, to be distributed by Voltage
Pictures. Past credits include Swimfan, The Station Agent, Serenity and Catch That Kid. Mr. Mutchler leverages his abilities as
a storyteller & filmmaker, his knack for viral content, his VFX & technical know-how, along with his ability to build
and lead world-class teams in all his projects and endeavors.
William Berke
is a licensed
family physician and has practiced medicine for more than 40 years. For 25 of those years, Dr. Berke served as a
ring physician for both amateur and professional boxing federations - which included a dozen world
championship bouts. He was a volunteer physician for the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, and also served on the Florida
Governor's Medical Advisory Committee. He is currently a Senior Medical Examiner for the Federal Aviation Administration
where he has served in that role since 1996.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year
term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with

traffic violations and other minor offenses);
|
|

|
had

prior to that time;
|
|
●
|
been
subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated,
of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or
temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in
any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings
and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such
activity;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
been

the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities

|
●
|
been the subject
of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed,
suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged
violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial
institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement

in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved
in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership
Reporting Compliance
The Company does not have a class of securities
registered under the Exchange Act and therefore its directors, executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent
of the Company’s common stock are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics that
applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar
functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.
Board Committees
Our Board of Directors has no separate committees
and our Board of Directors acts as the audit committee and the compensation committee. We do not have an audit committee
financial expert serving on our Board of Directors.

Director Independence
We do not have any
independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition
of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that
an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having
a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered
independent if:
|
●
|
the director is,
or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the director or
a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive
months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other
things, compensation for board or board committee service);
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
a family member
of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the director or
a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which
the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed
5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain
exclusions);
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the director or
a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three
years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the director or
a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past
three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
|
We do not currently have a separately
designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF
BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
(A) Organization
Bang Holdings Corp. was
incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 13, 2014. The Company was organized to develop and sell E-Cigarette products.
Bang Vapor, Inc. was incorporated
in the State of Florida on October 27, 2014. The Company was organized to develop and sell E-Cigarette products.
Bang Digital Media, Inc.
was incorporated in the State of Florida on November 23, 2015. The Company was organized to develop digital and electronic media.
(B) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
(C) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Bang Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Bang Vapor, Inc. (from October
27, 2014) and Bang Digital Media, Inc. (from November 23, 2015) and are hereafter referred to as (the “Company’).
All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
(D) Going Concern
For the year ended December
31, 2016, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has
an accumulated deficit of $3,647,691 and used cash in operations of $446,252. The company is also in default on the repayment
of its convertible note payable of $500,000. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required
for marketing of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization
and product development.
These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions
presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to
continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
(A) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers
all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(B) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The presentation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered
by these financial statements include the valuation of website costs, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation
and beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.
(C) Fair value measurements and Fair
value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted FASB
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring
fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities
in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by
observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable
inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The Company did not identify
any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
Due to the short-term
nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates.
(D) Computer and Equipment and Website
Costs
Computer Equipment and
Website Costs are capitalized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three to five years for all categories. Repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of computer equipment
and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts upon retirement or disposal with any resulting gain or
loss being recorded in operations.
Software maintenance costs
are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for enhanced functionality are capitalized.
The Company has adopted
the provisions of ASC 350-50-15, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs.” Costs inured in the planning stage of
a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized
over the life of the asset, estimated to be three years.

Depreciation expense for
the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1,369 and $1,248, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company
impaired $17,174 of costs associated with the development of its website.
(E) Inventories
The Company’s inventories
consist entirely of purchased finished goods. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in,
first-out basis. The Company wrote down inventory to net realizable value as of December 31, 2016 and recorded an inventory valuation
allowance of $72,332 and a loss on write-off of inventory of $72,332 for the year ended December 31, 2016 in the consolidated
statements of operations.
(F) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic. 605 “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is
recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed
and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue when the products are shipped
to the customers and collectability is reasonable assured.
The Company recognizes
revenue from advertising transactions when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price
is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
(G) Advertising, Marketing and Promotion Costs
Advertising, marketing
and promotion expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying
statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $48,440
and $35,742, respectively.
(H) Segments
The Company operates in
one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(I) Loss Per Share
The basic loss per share
is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss by the diluted weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic
weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company had 2,029,107 shares issuable upon
the exercise of options and warrants and 1,826,407 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable that were not
included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for year ended December 31, 2016.
The Company had 2,924,286 shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants and 1,623,092 shares issuable upon conversion
of convertible notes payable that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive
for year ended December 31, 2015.
(J) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes
compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic. 718,
companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair
value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services.
Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation
rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such
compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued
to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505, Equity
Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is
reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value
related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined
in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
(K) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for
income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company’s income tax expense differs
from the “expected” tax expense for federal income tax purpose by applying the Federal & State blended rate of
37.63% as follows:

As of December 31, 2016,
the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $1.75 million, and a deferred tax asset related to the timing
difference on fixed asset depreciation of $5,725, an inventory valuation allowance of $72,332 and accrued officer payroll of $199,592
available to offset future taxable income through 2036. This results in deferred tax assets of approximately $764,000 as of December
31, 2016. The valuation allowance increased during the year ended December 31, 2016 by approximately $281,000. Tax returns for
the year ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 remain open to Internal Revenue Service and State audits.
(L) Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company includes shipping
and handling fees billed to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs to customers as cost of revenue.
(M) Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior
year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
(N) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15,
Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern.
The
Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about
a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management
will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability
to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This Accounting Standards Update
is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-300-Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Disclosure
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Going Concern Presumption, which has been deleted. The amendments in this update
are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The
adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging” (topic 815). The FASB issued this update to clarify the requirements for assessing
whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely
related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this update is required to assess the
embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The updated guidance is effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is
permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-06 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting
for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several
aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b)
classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance
is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early
adoption of the update is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU No. 2016-15 addresses
specific cash flow classification issues where there is currently diversity in practice including debt prepayment and proceeds
from the settlement of insurance claims. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early
adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting
pronouncements issued by FASB (including the Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC, did not or are not believed by
the Company management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES

1, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company expensed $19,753 and $30,247, respectively. The balance in
prepaid expenses related to the above common stock issuance was $0 as of December 31, 2016 and $19,753 as of December 31, 2015.
On December 6, 2016, the

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES
On August 22, 2014 the
Company entered into an agreement to issue an unsecured convertible promissory note for $500,000 and security purchase agreement
for 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $350,000 ($.35 per share), respectively with a related party. The note bears interest
at an annual rate of 10% and is payable on or before 12 months from the date of issuance. The Company issued the holder a total
of 1,500,000 warrants exercisable at a cashless conversion price of $.35 for a period of 5 years. The warrants were valued using
the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, annual volatility of 353%, risk free
interest rate of 1.68%, and expected life of 5 years for a fair value of $524,960. The Company allocated $190,900 for the fair
value of the convertible note payable. In addition, the note may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares
of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment. On the date of issuance the
Company recorded a debt discount of $190,900 for the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature and $190,900 for the value
of the warrants received. As of December 31, 2015, the debt discount on the note was fully amortized. Amortization of the debt
discount on the note for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0 and $243,724, respectively.
The outstanding principal
balance on the note at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $500,000. Accrued and unpaid interest on the note at December 31, 2016 and
2015 was $118,219 and $68,082, respectively. The Company is currently in default of the note, making the entire unpaid principal
and interest due and payable.
On January 29, 2016, the
Company’s President loaned the Company $30,000 pursuant to a convertible debenture. The Loan bears interest at 10% per annum,
is due on January 29, 2017 and is convertible into common stock at the discretion of the holder at a conversion price of $2.00
per share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the note agreement, for a period of one year following the Initial Closing Date,
the Company shall agree to or not issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock
(or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise
price per share which shall be less than the conversion price in effect at such time without the consent of the purchaser, then
the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price. Under ASC 815-40-15, the Company is required to account for convertible
debt with reset provisions when the following three items are present (1) one or more underlying amounts or payments are required
(2) no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts
(3) its terms require or permit net settlement, it can be readily settled net by means outside the contract or it provides for
delivery of an asset that puts the recipient in a position not substantially different from the net settlement. ASC 815-40-15
further defines the requirement that the assets are readily convertible to cash. Due to the lack of a public market for the Company’s
securities, the Company determined that the convertible notes payable were not readily convertible to cash and therefore no derivative
liability has been recorded.
In addition, the Company
agreed to issue 30,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share that expire on January 29, 2021. The Company recorded
a debt discount of $10,500 for the value of the warrants received. As of December 31, 2016, the debt discount on the note was
fully amortized. Amortization of the debt discount on the note for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $10,500.
During the year ended
December 31, 2016, the note principal was repaid. Accrued and unpaid interest on the note at December 31, 2016 was $1,911.

Since the Company has
limited trading history, volatility was determined by averaging volatilities of comparable companies.
The expected term of the
option, taking into account both the contractual term of the option and the effects of employees’ expected exercise and
post-vesting employment termination behavior: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time
the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the
simplified method
,
i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2)
, if (i) A company does
not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited
period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option
grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide
a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes
in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected
term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company
does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The contractual
term is used as the expected term for share options and similar instruments that do not qualify to use the simplified method.
