Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Condensed Interim Financial Statements
The Company - Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 22, 2013 as PowerMedChairs, and is considered to be an emerging growth company under applicable federal securities laws. On June 2, 2017, the Company changed its name to Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc. On February 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Power Blockchain, LLC (“Power Blockchain”) through an exchange agreement in a transaction that resulted in the transition from the Company’s existing business of repairing and selling wheelchairs to a planned new business of mining crypto-currency (see Note 4). The Company’s mining operations were halted in mid-2018, however, with the recent increase in the quoted market price of Bitcoin, the Company is presently in the process of performing a preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of resuming its Bitcoin mining operations.
Interim Financial Information
- The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the changes in its stockholder’s deficit for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on July 9, 2019.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
- The basis is United States generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Power Blockchain, since February 1, 2018.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
Earnings per Share
- The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
The Company has not issued any options or warrants or similar securities since inception.
Revenue recognition
- The Company has not recorded any revenues from Inception through June 30, 2019. If and when the Company should have any revenues under contracts with customers, it will follow the five step accounting process for revenue recognition under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Income Taxes
- The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.
5
Use of Estimates
- The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
- In the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued several new Accounting Standards Updates which the Company believes will have little or no applicability to the Company.
Subsequent Events
- Management has evaluated any subsequent events occurring in the period from June 30, 2019 through the date the financial statements were issued, to determine if disclosure in this report is warranted (see Note 10).
(3)
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has not generated any revenues and has suffered recurring losses totaling $3,045,908 since inception. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to obtain the necessary capital to sustain operations, Management’s plans include, among other things, the possibility of pursuing new equity sales and/or making additional debt borrowings. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Acquisition of Power Blockchain
Effective February 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Power Blockchain through an exchange agreement between the Company and the two owners of Power Blockchain. Pursuant to the exchange agreement, the sole consideration in this transaction was the issuance by the Company of unsecured convertible notes payable to the two owners of Power Blockchain in the amount of $2,200,000. Such notes payable were structured to: (i) mature five years from the date of issuance, (ii) accrue interest at the rate of 5% per annum, (iii) require repayment in four equal installments beginning on the second anniversary of issuance, and (iv) are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.13 per share, subject to certain limitations. The Company performed an analysis to determine whether there was a beneficial conversion feature and noted none.
The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Power Blockchain as a business combination, with the Company treated as the acquirer, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations. At the time of the transaction, Power Blockchain was a start-up venture with little or no identifiable assets or operations, therefore, the entire merger consideration in the amount of $2,200,000 was allocated to the category of Goodwill for accounting purposes.
Due to unforeseen economic and market conditions that arose as of March 31, 2018, Management determined to suspend the bitcoin mining operations until such time as the industry conditions improve. The Company believes that the results of the Company’s initial bitcoin mining operations through the Power Blockchain entity should be considered inconclusive to date, with no revenues being recorded during the year ended March 31, 2018, nor expected in the near future. And as a result of these conditions, and the uncertainty of any future cash flows, the Company determined during the year ended March 31, 2018 that it would be appropriate to recognize an impairment adjustment in the full amount of $2,200,000 in the year ended March 31, 2018, in order to reduce the carrying value of the Goodwill to zero as of March 31, 2018.
6
Additionally, due to the expected loss of utility of its deployed assets, an impairment adjustment in the amount of $170,186 was recognized to reduce the carrying value of the property and equipment deployed in the bitcoin mining operations to zero as of March 31, 2018. It should be noted, however, that with the recent increase in the quoted market price of Bitcoin, the Company is presently in the process of performing a preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of resuming its Bitcoin mining operations.

Stockholders’ Equity
On January 25, 2018, in conjunction with the acquisition of Power Blockchain, the Company purchased a total of 2,661,172 shares of its common stock from the former management group for a negotiated payment in the amount of $340,000, which has been accounted for as Treasury Stock.
On January 29, 2018, also in conjunction with the acquisition of Power Blockchain, the Company issued a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, to two new officers who were engaged to affect the transition to the business of bitcoin mining. These stock grants were structured so that they are fully vested over a three year period and are subject to buyback by the Company if either officer should leave the Company before then. We have valued the stock grants at an incremental amount of $129,000, based on the negotiated price of the simultaneously purchased treasury stock noted above (see Note 4), and are amortizing that amount as stock compensation expense over a period of three years (of that amount, $10,750 was amortized in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018).
Taking the above transactions into consideration, as well as the conversion of a $45,000 note payable into 155,172 shares of common stock in December 2017, the Company had a total of 1,204,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2019.
There have been no issuances of stock options or warrants. However, in March 2018, the Board approved the establishment of a new 2018 Stock Option Plan with an authorization for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The Plan is designed to provide for future discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards and stock unit awards to key employees and non-employee directors.

At the time of the Power Blockchain acquisition, Power Blockchain had outstanding unsecured notes payable to the two owners in the amount of $570,000, which were overdue and in default. Shortly thereafter, the Company entered into negotiations with the note holders in an attempt to settle these obligations. As a result of those efforts, a settlement agreement was reached in March 2018 to convert the notes payable into the right for the two note holders (“the Plaintiffs”) in an attempt to settle these obligations. As a result of those efforts, a settlement agreement was reached in March 2018 to convert the notes payable into the right for the two note holders to receive periodic issuances of the Company’s common stock of up to approximately 3,000,000 shares each, that would be exempted from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933. The settlement agreement stipulated that the issuance of such shares shall occur in respective tranches such that the resulting number of shares owned by each holder would not exceed 4.9% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. Per the settlement agreement, the Plaintiffs’ right to make requests for periodic tranche issuances shall expire on September 17, 2019. Thereafter, the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares to either Plaintiff. In the agreement the Plaintiffs acknowledged that they may be unable to sell, prior to the expiration of their right to make requests for periodic tranche issuances, a sufficient number of shares to recoup the debt and they expressly assumed that risk. As at the date of settlement it was not known if any shares would be requested to be issued prior to the expiration date, and the Plaintiffs accepted risk, the Company could not estimate an amount of shares to be issued, and therefore no amount was recognized for the settlement. To date, no such shares have been issued.

Related Party Transactions
The Company has entered into several transactions with various related parties to: (i) purchase shares of Treasury Stock from the former management team, (ii) issue new shares of common stock to officers, and (iii) to provide short-term borrowings for various purposes, as described in Note 6.
The Company does not lease or rent any property. Office services are provided without charge by a director. Such costs are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

Operating Leases and Other Commitments
The Company has no lease or other obligations.

Litigation
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable, primarily for the following reasons: (i) many of the relevant legal proceedings are in preliminary stages, and until such proceedings develop further, there is often uncertainty regarding the relevant facts and circumstances at issue and potential liability; and (ii) many of these proceedings involve matters of which the outcomes are inherently difficult to predict. We have insurance policies covering potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.
We are not at this time involved in any legal proceedings.
(10)
Subsequent Events
In the month of July 2019, the Company made additional short-term borrowings from a related party in the total amount of $5,000 on the same terms as the borrowings made through June 30, 2019. There have been no other reportable subsequent events that have occurred since June 30, 2019.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This item contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements.
Overview
Commencing in February 2018, through our subsidiary, Power Blockchain LLC (“Power Blockchain”), we began operating a start-up venture that specializes in blockchain mining for the Bitcoin network, the computer intensive process required to verify and record the digital exchange of money for crypto-currency transactions. In exchange for processing these complex mathematical equations, we will be rewarded with digital currency. We have yet to commence meaningful operations, and will require new capital investment to execute upon our business strategy.
Our business plan is to build a cryptocurrency mining operation, operating specialized computers (also known as “crypto-currency miners") that generate cryptocurrency (primarily Bitcoin). A bitcoin is an asset that can be transferred among parties via the Internet, but without the use of a central administrator or clearing agency. The term decentralized is often used in descriptions of bitcoin, in reference to bitcoin’s lack of necessity for administration by a central party.
On February 1, 2018, we entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Power Blockchain from the owners of Power Blockchain in exchange for the issuance for convertible notes in aggregate principal amount of $2.2 million. The notes: (i) mature five years from the date of issuance: (ii) accrue interest at 5% per annum; (iii) require repayment in four equal installments on the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates after issuance; and (iv) are convertible at the option of the holder into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.13 per share. Upon consummation of the exchange agreement, Power Blockchain became our wholly owned subsidiary. Power Blockchain had outstanding debt obligations in aggregate principal amounts of $570,000, accruing interest at rates between 12-13% per annum, which obligations were overdue and in default. In March 2018, the Power Blockchain debt holders commenced a lawsuit against us in San Diego Superior Court, in connection with outstanding and overdue debt obligations. On March 22, 2018, we agreed to enter into a conditional settlement with the debt holders calling for the periodic issuance to the debt holders, subject to certain ownership and temporal limitations, of an aggregate of up to 3,078,000 and 3,157,000 shares respectively, exempted from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the California Corporations Code Section 25017(f)(3), as amended, after a fairness hearing evaluating the relative merits of the proposed agreement, which was held and approved on April 2, 2018.
On February 14, 2018, we were granted permission from the Kingdom of Lesotho to conduct crypto-currency mining operations in Lesotho. As part of this permission, we were permitted to operate by the Lesotho Electricity Company and we negotiated an electric rate agreement. As of the date of this report, we owned 70 crypto-currency miners and Power Control Units (PCU), 50 of which have been installed in Lesotho, 10 of which are in customs in South Africa, and 10 of which are in storage in South Africa. We commenced mining operations in Lesotho but have not generated any revenues to date. Due to current economic and market conditions, we decided to place the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations in the Kingdom of Lesotho on hold beginning around the middle of 2018. With the recent increase in the quoted market price of bitcoin, however, we are presently in the process of performing a preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of resuming our bitcoin mining operations in some capacity. We still maintain ownership and control of the miners and other equipment used in the cryptocurrency mining operations in that country (notwithstanding the fact that the cost associated with these assets has been fully reserved on the Company’s Balance Sheet since March 31, 2018).
Results of Operations
The following discussion reflects the Company’s operating and other expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as reported in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1.
10
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $22,974 compared to $91,749 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was due to the lower level of overhead costs following the Company’s decision to place its cryptocurrency mining operations in the Kingdom of Lesotho on hold beginning around the middle of 2018.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $46,099 versus $43,170 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This small increase was due to a slightly higher level of outstanding borrowings under the Company’s long-term debt obligations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities
. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $6,868 compared to $83,360 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was due to the lower level of overhead costs following the Company’s decision to place its cryptocurrency mining operations in the Kingdom of Lesotho on hold during the middle of 2018.
Financing activities
. Net cash provided by financing activities was $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $72,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was largely due to the lower level of borrowings made in the current period following the Company’s decision to place its cryptocurrency mining operations in the Kingdom of Lesotho on hold during the middle of 2018.
We have generated no revenues from our crypto-currency mining operations. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from operations, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings and we may seek to raise additional capital through strategic collaborations.
However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our operations. Failure to receive additional funding could cause us to cease operations, in part or in full. Furthermore, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, which may cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues and has suffered recurring losses totaling $3,045,908 since inception. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that certain accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on July 9, 2019, for a further description of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
