NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Unless otherwise provided
in footnotes, all references from this point forward in this Report to “we,” “us,” “our company,”
“our,” or the “Company” refer to the combined Halo Companies, Inc. entity, together with its subsidiaries.
Halo has multiple wholly-owned
subsidiaries including Halo Group Inc. (“HGI”), Halo Asset Management, LLC (“HAM”), Halo Portfolio Advisors,
LLC (“HPA”), and Halo Benefits, Inc. (“HBI”). HGI is the management and shared services operating company.
HAM provides asset management and mortgage servicing services to investors and asset owners including all aspects of buying and
managing distressed real estate owned (“REO”) and non-performing loans. HPA exists to market the Company’s operations
as a turnkey solution for strategic business to business opportunities with HAM’s investors and asset owners, major debt
servicers and field service providers, lenders, and mortgage backed securities holders. HBI was originally established as an association
benefit services to customers throughout the United States and although a non-operating entity, remains a subsidiary due to its
historical net operating loss carryforward.
Halo
has determined that the asset management and portfolio services have threatened sustainability long term and need to shift its
resources to pursue other lines of revenue. Fortunately, management has been analyzing this trend for some time and made moves
to begin capitalizing on its internally developed technology assets. As further discussed in Note 2 below, Halo has successfully
secured multiple software license and support agreements and will continue to evaluate the best method to deliver and monetize
Halo’s technology assets in the market
.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim consolidated
financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation
of the results of the interim periods have been included (consisting of normal recurring accruals). The accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 2016, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, include the accounts of
the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) for interim information. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable
and Deferred Revenue
The Company recognizes
revenue in the period in which services are earned and realizable. To further understand the Company’s business, HAM earns
fees from its clients for its boarding and initial asset management fee, success fees, and its monthly servicing fee. The boarding
and initial asset management services are performed in the first 30-60 days of assets being boarded and include; IRR analysis of
loans boarded, detailed asset level workout exit strategy analysis, boarding the assets onto HAM’s proprietary software platform
and the integrated servicing platform, identification and oversight of custodial files, oversight of mortgage/deed assignment from
previous servicer, oversight of title policy administration work, and delinquent property tax research and exposure review. HAM’s
monthly success fees are earned for completing its default and asset disposition services including note sales, originating owner
finance agreements, and cash sales of REO properties owned by the client. HAM’s servicing fees are earned monthly and are
calculated on a monthly unit price for assets under management.
The Company is currently
exploring potential opportunities with several client relationships that would allow the Company to implement its internally developed
asset management software platform as an external service for those customers. This is commonly known as Software as a Service
(“SaaS”). Cash receipts from customers in advance of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and will be
earned over the entire SaaS contract period.
HAM and HPA receivables
are typically paid the month following services performed. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s accounts
receivable are made up of the following percentages; HAM at 35% and 47%, HPA at 65% and 53%, and HGI at 0% and 0% respectively.
The Company maintains
allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: past transaction
history with the customer, current economic and industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company provides for
estimated uncollectible amounts through an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a charge to earnings based on actual
historical trends and individual account analysis. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection
efforts are written-off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The below table summarizes the Company’s
allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss)
per share is computed by dividing (i) net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator), by (ii) the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period (denominator). Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2016 and
2015, there were 4,518,505 and 4,623,959 shares, respectively, underlying potentially dilutive convertible preferred stock and
stock options outstanding. These shares were not included in dilutive weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 because their effect is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s reported net loss.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of
consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant estimates include the Company’s revenue recognition method and derivative liabilities.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial
statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 include the financial results of HCI, HGI,
HBI, HPA and HAM. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers
all liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment,
and software are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to
operations over their estimated service lives, ranging from three to seven years. Provisions for depreciation are made using the
straight-line method.
Major additions and
improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement,
the cost of the property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any
resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to other general and administrative expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value
of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity
of these items. The estimated fair value of the notes payable and subordinated debt approximates the carrying amounts as they bear
market interest rates.
The Company considers
the warrants related to its subordinated debt to be derivatives, and the Company records the fair value of the derivative liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities are included in gain (loss) on change in
fair value of derivative in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s derivative liability has been classified
as a Level III valuation according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820.
Internally Developed Software
Internally developed
legacy application software consisting of database, customer relations management, process management and internal reporting modules
are used in each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance
with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. ASC 350 requires computer software costs associated with internal use
software to be charged to operations as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. Costs incurred during the preliminary
project stage and the post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application
development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration,
coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when (i) the preliminary project stage is complete, (ii) management with
the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and (iii) it is probable both that the project
will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended. Management has determined that a significant
portion of costs incurred for internally developed software came from the preliminary project and post-implementation stages; as
such, no costs for internally developed software were capitalized.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are
reviewed on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If it is determined that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
the fair value of the asset. Fair value is the estimated value at which the asset could be bought or sold in a transaction between
willing parties. There were no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts
for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method
whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company then assesses
the likelihood of realizing benefits related to such assets by considering factors such as historical taxable income and the Company’s
ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the relevant jurisdictions in future years. Based
on the aforementioned factors, if the realization of these assets is not likely a valuation allowance is established against the
deferred tax assets.
The Company accounts
for its position in tax uncertainties under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 establishes standards for accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes. ASC 740-10 provides several clarifications related to uncertain tax positions. Most notably, a “more likely-than-not”
standard for initial recognition of tax positions, a presumption of audit detection and a measurement of recognized tax benefits
based on the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of realization. ASC 740-10 applies a two-step process
to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. First, the Company must determine whether
any amount of the tax benefit may be recognized. Second, the Company determines how much of the tax benefit should be recognized
(this would only apply to tax positions that qualify for recognition.) The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged,
would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30,
2016 or 2015.
The Company incurred
no penalties or interest for taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015. The Company is subject to a three-year
statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Company files
income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction.
Recent Accounting
Standards
In May 2014, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“
ASU 2014-09”), which
supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues
when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects
to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing
so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP.
The standard is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods:
(i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to
elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09
recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of
our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we
will adopt the standard in 2018.
On February 25, 2016,
the FASB completed its Leases project by issuing (“ASU 2016-02”),
Leases
(Topic 842). The new guidance establishes
the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases
with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern
of expense recognition in the income statement. To that end, the new guidance (1) results in a more faithful representation of
the rights and obligations arising from leases by requiring lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise
from leases in the statement of financial position and to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions,
such as information about variable lease payments and options to renew and terminate leases, (2) results in fewer opportunities
for organizations to structure leasing transactions to achieve a particular accounting outcome on the statement of financial position,
improves understanding and comparability of lessees’ financial commitments regardless of the manner they choose to finance
the assets used in their businesses, (3) aligns lessor accounting and sale and leaseback transactions guidance more closely to
comparable guidance in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and Topic 610, Other Income, (4) provides users of financial
statements with additional information about lessors’ leasing activities and lessors’ exposure to credit and asset
risk as a result of leasing, and (5) clarifies the definition of a lease to address practice issues that were raised about the
previous definition of a lease and to align the concept of control, as it is used in the definition of a lease, more closely with
the control principle in both Topic 606, and Topic 810, Consolidation.
The new guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective
transition approach is required for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest
comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company will further study the implications of this statement in
order to evaluate the expected impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 781), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
("ASU 2016-09"), which amends and simplifies the accounting for share-based payment awards in three areas: (1) income
tax consequences, (2) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and (3) classification on the statement of cash
flows. For public companies, ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods
within those annual periods. The Company will further study the implications of this statement in order to evaluate the expected
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains
aggregate cash balances, at times, with financial institutions, which are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the FDIC insured deposit accounts up to
$250,000. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s cash accounts were all less than the $250,000 FDIC insured amount and as such were
insured in full.
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.
In the normal course
of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Because of the credit risk involved, management has provided
an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its estimate of amounts which will eventually become uncollectible. In the event
of complete non-performance by the Company’s customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding accounts receivable
balance at the date of non-performance.
NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company
has several operating segments as listed below and as defined in Note 1. The results for these operating segments are based on
our internal management structure and review process. We define our operating segments by service industry. If the management structure
and/or allocation process changes, allocations may change. See the following summary of operating segment reporting;

Corporate expenses include salaries, benefits and other expenses, including rent and general and administrative expenses, related to corporate office overhead and functions that benefit all operating segments. Corporate expenses also include interest expense. Corporate expenses are expenses that the Company does not directly allocate to any segment above. Allocating these indirect expenses to operating segments would require an imprecise allocation methodology. Further, there are no material amounts that are the elimination or reversal of transactions between the above reportable operating segments.
|
The assets of the Company
consist primarily of cash, trade accounts receivable, and property, equipment and software. Cash is managed at the corporate level
of the Company and not at the segment level. Each of the remaining primary assets has been discussed in detail, including the applicable
operating segment for which the assets and liabilities reside, in the consolidated notes to the financial statements. As such,
the duplication is not warranted in this footnote.
All debt of the Company
is recorded at the corporate parent companies HCI and HGI. All interest expense is included in corporate expenses above. Interest
expense is discussed in further detail in Notes 8, 9, 10 and 11.
For the three and six months ended June
30, 2016 or 2015, there have been no material transactions between reportable units that would materially affect an operating segment
profit or loss. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 5. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the Company
will need to manage additional asset units under contract and/or additional financing to fully implement its business plan, including
continued growth and establishment of a stronger brand name of HAM’s asset management in the distressed asset sector.
The Company is actively
seeking growth of its asset units under management, both organically and via new client relationships. Management, in the ordinary
course of business, is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking financing via equity
or debt, or both from third parties. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or
at all. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned
initiatives and overhead expenditures. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities
to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders, and incurring additional indebtedness
could involve an increased debt service cash obligation, the imposition of covenants that restrict the Company operations or the
Company’s ability to perform on its current debt service requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has incurred
an accumulated deficit of $14,280,143 as of June 30,
2016
. However, of the accumulated deficit,
$2,110,748 of expense was incurred as stock-based compensation, $614,609 in depreciation expense, and $279,241 in impairment loss
on investment in portfolio assets, all of which are noncash expenses. Further, $906,278 of the accumulated deficit is related to
the issuance of stock dividends, also non cash reductions. The $3,910,876 total of these non-cash retained earnings reductions
represents 27% of the total deficit balance.

NOTE 7. ACCRUED AND OTHER LIABILITIES
The
Company had $1,554,938 in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2016. Included in this accrual is $576,527 in accrued interest ($256,501
of this balance is related to interest on the secured asset promissory note discussed in more detail in Note 11).
The accrual also includes $879,514 in deferred compensation to several senior management
personnel. The Company had $1,328,662 in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2015. Included in this accrual is $423,623 in accrued
interest ($245,663 of this balance is related to interest on the secured asset promissory note discussed in more detail in Note
11). The accrual also includes $724,208 in deferred compensation to several senior management personnel.
NOTE 8. NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES
During March 2011,
the Company entered into one unsecured promissory note with a related party (a previous company director) in the amount of $250,000
(the “2011 Related Party Note”). The 2011 Related Party Note had a fixed interest amount of $50,000 and a maturity
date of July 31, 2011. On September 20, 2011, the 2011 Related Party Note was amended to include the 2011 Related Party Note plus
$52,426 of accrued interest for a total note balance of $302,426. The 2011 Related Party Note has a 6% interest rate and is a monthly
installment note with final balloon payment at maturity in September 2014. At the time of the filing of these consolidated financial
statements, the Company and the related party had not finalized an extended maturity date, and as such the entire $197,636 2011
Related Party Note balance is included in current portion of notes payable to related parties as of June 30, 2016. As of December
31, 2015, the 2011 Related Party Note was $197,636, all of which is included in current portion of notes payable to related parties.
On September 1, 2011,
several previous related party notes totaling $370,639 were amended and consolidated (“the 2011 Consolidated Related Party
Note”). This note bears interest of 6% and has a maturity date of September 15, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the 2011 Consolidated
Related Party Note balance was $267,569, all of which is included in current portion of notes payable to related parties. As of
June 30, 2016, the 2011 Consolidated Related Party Note balance was $267,569, all of which is included in current portion of notes
payable to related parties.
As of December 31,
2015, a Company director had an outstanding advance to the Company of $960,476 for short term capital. As of June 30, 2016, the
outstanding advance balance was $960,476 and is due October 1, 2016; as such the entire balance is included in current portion
of notes payable to related parties. The debt accrues interest at a rate of 15%.
As of December 31,
2015, the Company’s President and Chief Legal Officer had an outstanding advance balance of $345,000 for short term capital.
As of June 30, 2016, the outstanding advance balance was $345,000 and is due December 28, 2016; as such the entire balance is included
in current portion of notes payable to related parties. The debt accrues interest at a rate of 15%.
As of December 31,
2015, the Company’s CEO and Director of the Board had an outstanding advance balance of $515,000 for short term capital.
As of June, 2016, the outstanding advance balance was $515,000 and is due December 28, 2016; as such the entire balance is included
in current portion of notes payable to related parties. The debt accrues interest at a rate of 15%.
During the twelve months

parties. The debt accrues interest with an interest rate of 8%.
As of June 30, 2016,
the notes payable to related party balance totaled $2,822,452 all of which is included in current portion of notes payable to related
parties in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2015, the notes payable to related party balance totaled $2,822,452,
all of which is included in current portion of notes payable to related parties in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company incurred
$73,447, $146,800, $90,589, and $123,256 of interest expense to directors, officers, and other related parties during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accrued interest due to directors and other related parties totaled
$324,760 at June 30, 2016, all of which is included in accrued and other current liabilities. Accrued interest due to directors
and other related parties totaled $177,724 at December 31, 2015, all of which is included in accrued and other current liabilities.
NOTE 9. NOTE PAYABLE
In October 2013, the
Company entered into a senior unsecured convertible promissory note agreement of $1,500,000. The terms of the note include an interest
rate of 15% with a maturity date of October 10, 2016. The Company, although not required, is entitled to capitalize any accrued
interest into the outstanding principal balance of the note up until maturity. At the maturity date, all unpaid principal and accrued
interest is due. As part of the promissory note, the Company was required to pay origination fees and expenses associated with
this note agreement (discussed in Other Assets Note 2), pay the subordinated debt originated in January 2010, pay $375,000 to a
related party note held by a director, with the remaining use of proceeds for general corporate purposes including payment of deferred
compensation to several management personnel. Additionally, the noteholder has the right, but not the obligation, to convert up
to $1,000,000 of the principal balance of the note into common shares of the Company. The $1,000,000 maximum conversion ratio would
entitle the noteholder to a maximum total of 10% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company, calculated on a fully diluted
basis. Any conversion of the principal amount of this note into common stock would effectively lower the outstanding principal
amount of the note. As of June 30, 2016, the note payable balance was $2,262,625, which includes capitalized interest of $762,625.
As of December 31, 2015, the note payable balance was $2,099,475, which includes capitalized interest of $599,475.
NOTE 10. SUBORDINATED DEBT
During January 2010,
the Company authorized a $750,000 subordinated debt offering (“Subordinated Offering”), which consisted of the issuance
of notes paying a 16% coupon with a 1% origination fee at the time of closing. The maturity date of the notes was originally January
31, 2013, however, the subordinated debt holders agreed to an extended maturity date of December 31, 2013. In October 2013, the
Company entered into a senior unsecured convertible promissory note (discussed in Note 9) which required the use of those financing
proceeds to pay down the subordinated debt. As such, as of December 31, 2015, the remaining balance was $0.
As part of the Subordinated
Offering, the Company granted to investors common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate
of 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The 200,000 shares of common stock contemplated
to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants are based on an anticipated cumulative debt raise of $750,000. The investors are granted
the Warrants pro rata based on their percentage of investment relative to the $750,000 aggregate principal amount of notes contemplated
to be issued in the Subordinated Offering. The Warrants shall have a term of seven years, exercisable from January 31, 2015 to
January 31, 2017. The Company had a call option any time prior to maturity, so long as the principal and interest on the notes
are fully paid, to purchase the Warrants for an aggregate of $150,000. After the date of maturity until the date the Warrants are
exercisable, the Company will have a call option to purchase the Warrants for $200,000. The call option purchase price assumed
a cumulative debt raise of $750,000.
The Company follows
the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. ASC 815 requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a
company’s own stock to be designated as an equity instrument, assets or liability. Under the provisions of ASC 815, a contract
designated as an asset or liability must be initially recorded and carried at fair value until the contract meets the requirements
for classification as equity, until the contract is exercised or until the contract expires. Accordingly, the Company determined
that the warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities and has recorded the initial value as a debt discount which
was amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2013, the balance of the debt discount
was $0 (fully amortized). Subsequent changes to the marked-to-market value of the derivative liability are recorded in earnings
as derivative gains and losses. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 105,333 warrants outstanding with a derivative
liability of $1,310 and $2,434 respectively. The Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model, which resulted in the fair
value of the warrants at $0.01 per share using the following assumptions:

During October 2014,
the Company entered into an additional $100,000 subordinated term note with the current holder of the Company’s subordinated
debt. The note pays an 18% coupon rate with a maturity date of September 30, 2017. There are no warrants associated with this subordinated
term note. Repayment terms of the note include interest only payments through March 31, 2015. Thereafter, level monthly payments
of principal and interest are made as calculated on a 60-month payment amortization schedule with final balloon payment due at
maturity. The rights of the holder of this note is subordinated to any and all liens granted by the Company to the As of June 30,
2016, the remaining balance of this note totals $75,000, of which $20,000 is included in current portion of subordinated debt.
As of December 31, 2015, the remaining balance of this note totals $85,000, of which $20,000 is included in current portion of
subordinated debt.
During June 2016, the
Company entered into a $425,000 subordinated term note. The note pays an 12% coupon rate with a maturity date of June 30, 2017.
As part of the promissory note, the Company was required to pay origination fees and expenses associated with this note agreement
(discussed in Other Assets Note 2) in the amount of $25,500 with the remaining $399,500 in proceeds to be used for general corporate
purposes. There are no warrants associated with this subordinated term note. Repayment terms of the note include interest only
payments through December 31, 2016. Thereafter, level monthly payments of principal and interest are made as calculated on a 36-month
payment amortization schedule with final balloon payment due at maturity. The rights of the holder of this note is subordinated
to any and all liens granted by the Company to the holder of the note payable discussed in Note 9 above. As of June 30, 2016, the
remaining balance of this note totals $425,000, of which $425,000 is included in current portion of subordinated debt.
NOTE 11. SECURED ASSET PROMISSORY NOTE
During December 2010,
the Company authorized a debt offering to be secured by real estate assets purchased in connection with Equitas Housing Fund, LLC,
(“Equitas Offering”). The Equitas Offering generated $1,200,000 in proceeds. Of the $1,200,000 in proceeds received
in December 2010, $300,000 was used to acquire non-performing, residential mortgage notes and the balance was used for mortgage
note workout expenses and operational expenses of Halo Asset Management. The Secured Asset Promissory Notes consisted of a 25%
coupon. In May 2013, the Secured Asset Promissory Note was paid in full, along with $150,000 of the outstanding accrued interest
balance. Halo and the secured asset promissory note holder agreed to include the remaining accrued interest in a promissory note
due December 31, 2014. The promissory note will accrue interest at a 10% annual rate, with interest only payments due periodically
and final balloon payment due at maturity. At the time of the filing of these consolidated financial statements, the Company and
note holder have not finalized an extended maturity date. As such, as of June 30, 2016, the entire accrued interest balance of
$256,501 is included in current portion of accrued interest. As of December 31, 2015, the entire accrued interest balance of $245,663
is included in current portion of accrued interest. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred
$5,419, $10,838, $5,419 and $10,838 respectively, in interest expense on the note.
NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, HAM recognized monthly servicing fee revenue totaling $8,016, $33,242, $120,168 and $230,385,
respectively, from an entity that is an affiliate of the Company. Further, facilities rent expense discussed in Note 14 was expensed
and paid to the same affiliate. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $0,
$0, $0, and $50,000, respectively, in the write off of a note receivable it invested during the three months ended June 30, 2015
in the same affiliate of the Company. The write off is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements
of operations and discussed further in section Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations below.
For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred interest expense to related parties (See Note 8).
For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $5,000, $15,000, $15,000 and $20,000 in consulting expense to an entity
that is an affiliate of the Company.
NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the effective tax rate of 0% varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate
primarily due to state income taxes, net losses, certain non-deductible expenses and an increase in the valuation allowance associated
with the net operating loss carryforwards. Our deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards remain fully reserved
due to uncertainty of utilization of those assets.
Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are computed by applying the effective U.S. federal and state income tax rate to the gross amounts of temporary
differences and other tax attributes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Company believed it was more likely than not
that future tax benefits from net operating loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets would not be realizable through generation
of future taxable income and are fully reserved.
The Company has net
operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $7,700,000 available for federal income tax purposes, which
expire from 2024 to 2035. Separately, because of the changes in ownership that occurred on June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2009,
prior to GVC merging with HCI, and based on the Section 382 Limitation calculation, the Company will be allowed approximately
$6,500 per year of GVC Venture Corp.’s federal NOLs generated prior to June 30, 2004 until they would otherwise expire.
The Company would also be allowed approximately $159,000 per year of GVC Venture Corp.’s federal NOLs generated between
June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2009 until they would otherwise expire.
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases
very limited office equipment, each under a non-cancelable operating lease providing for minimum monthly rental payments. In relation
to its office facilities, the Company has not entered into any additional office lease whereby it is contractually committed. The
Company currently pays for its office space on a month to month basis, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Future minimum rental
obligations as of June 30, 2016 are as follows:

In the ordinary course of conducting
its business, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies including possible disputes or lawsuits.
NOTE 15. STOCK OPTIONS
The Company granted
stock options to certain employees under the HGI 2007 Stock Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). The Company was authorized
to issue 2,950,000 shares subject to options, or stock purchase rights under the Plan. These options (i) vest over a period no
greater than two years, (ii) are contingently exercisable upon the occurrence of a specified event as defined by the option agreements,
and (iii) expire three and six months following termination of employment or five years from the date of grant depending on whether
or not the options were granted as incentive options or non-qualified options. At September 30, 2009, pursuant to the terms of
the merger, all options granted prior to the merger were assumed by the Company and any options available for issuance under the
Plan but unissued, have been forfeited and consequently the Company has no additional shares subject to options or stock purchase
rights available for issuance under the Plan. As of June 30, 2016, 438,300 option shares have been exercised. Total stock options
outstanding as of June 30, 2016 total 170,000. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding options at June
30, 2016 is approximately 1.25 years.

All stock options granted
under the Plan and as of June 30, 2016 became exercisable upon the occurrence of the merger that occurred on September 30, 2009.
As such, equity-based compensation for the options was recognized in earnings from issuance date of the options over the vesting
period of the options effective December 31, 2009. Total compensation cost expensed over the vesting period of stock options was
$2,103,948, all of which was expensed as of September 30, 2011.
On July 19, 2010, the
board of directors approved the Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan (“2010 Stock Plan”). The 2010 Stock Plan
allows for the reservation of 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the plan. The 2010 Stock
Plan became effective July 19, 2010 and terminates July 18, 2020. As of March 31, 2016, 20,000 shares had previously been granted
(all granted in the year ended December 31, 2012) under the 2010 Stock Plan with an exercise price of $0.34 per option. These are
the only shares that have been issued under the 2010 Stock Plan. The shares granted vested immediately and can become exercisable
for so long as the Company remains a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Total compensation cost expensed
over the vesting period of the stock options was $6,800, all of which was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2012. As of June
30, 2016 none of the shares issued under the 2010 Stock Plan have been exercised.
NOTE 16. SHAREHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT)
EQUITY
Common Stock
On December 13, 2010
(“the Closing”), the Company was party to an Assignment and Contribution Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant
to the terms of Agreement, the members of Equitas Asset Management, LLC, (“EAM”), a non Halo entity, which owned 100%
of the interests of Equitas Housing Fund, LLC (“EHF”), assigned and contributed 100% of the interests of EAM to HAM
(a Halo subsidiary) in exchange for shares of 21,200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company.
The Agreement did not constitute a business combination.
The Company issued
7,500,000 shares of Halo common stock in exchange for $3,000,000 in debt or equity capital. The aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of
Halo common stock will be subject to clawback (and cancellation) by Halo in the event that EAM does not generate at least three
million dollars ($3,000,000) in new capital to Halo within twelve months following the closing. Halo shall have the right to claw
back 2.5 shares of Halo common stock for every dollar not raised within the twelve months. Any cash generated by EAM will need
to be designated for use in Halo’s general operations and not that of the EHF business to release the clawback rights.
The Company issued
13,700,000 shares of Halo common stock for the purchase of intangible assets owned by EAM which included trade secrets and business
processes used in the EHF business. The aggregate 13,700,000 shares of Halo common stock shall be subject to clawback (and cancellation)
by Halo in the event that EAM fails to generate at least $10,000,000 of net operating cash flows from the EHF business within twenty-four
months following the closing. Halo shall have the right to claw back 1.37 shares of Halo common for every dollar not generated
from the net operating cash flows of the EHF business. Once the $10,000,000 in net operating cash flows from the EHF business is
generated, the clawback rights will be released.
In applying the guidance
of ASC 505 “Equity” to the above transactions, the clawback provisions create a performance commitment that has not
been met. As such, although the transaction did provide for a grant date at which time the equity shares are issued and outstanding,
the equity shares have not met the measurement date requirements required by ASC 505. Accordingly, the par value of the shares
issued and outstanding have been recorded at the grant date and as the clawback rights are released and the measurement dates established,
the fair value of the transactions will be determined and recorded. The pro-rata fair value of equity issued in connection with
fund raising efforts at each measurement date will be recorded as debt issuance costs or a reduction in the equity proceeds raised
by the counter party. The pro-rata fair value of equity issued in connection with the purchase of intangible assets at the measurement
date will be recorded as amortization expense because the amortization period of the underlining asset purchase and the clawback
release rights are commensurate.
As mentioned above,
the Agreement provides for “clawback” provisions, pursuant to which all of the shares of Halo Common Stock issued to
the member of EAM are subject to forfeiture in the event certain financial metrics are not timely achieved. The financial metrics
call for significant cash generation by EHF within the first 12 months, and within the first 24 months following the closing date.
We refer you to Section 2(b)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, for the specifics of the clawback provisions. As of December 31, 2012,
no cash was generated by EHF. The times to meet both the 12 month and 24 month financial metrics have lapsed and the metrics have
not been met. Based upon the events that have transpired, and the lack of progress toward the financial metrics, the Company demanded
that the recipients of the shares of Halo Common Stock give effect to both clawback provisions and immediately forfeit back all
of the Halo shares issued to such recipients – an aggregate of 21,200,000 shares. Additionally, the Company has instructed
the Company’s transfer agent to cancel all of the shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Agreement. As of
December 31, 2014, the Company’s transfer agent had refused to cancel the shares without either (i) presentation of the physical
certificates to the transfer agent, or (ii) a court order requiring the transfer agent to cancel.
During March 2015,
the Company entered into a $250,000 compromise and settlement agreement with the court appointed receivership holding 17,808,000
shares of the Company’s 21,200,000 common stock noted above. The physical stock certificate was sent to the Company’s
transfer agent to immediately cancel those respective outstanding shares of that Agreement. Upon receipt by the transfer agent
of the stock certificates noted above, the transfer agent did cancel the respective 21,200,000 shares of common stock. An additional
1,272,000 shares of the company’s common stock, all subject to the clawback provisions of the Agreement have also been sent
to the Company’s transfer agent to immediately cancel those respective common shares of that Agreement but as of the time
of this filing those shares have not yet been canceled. Some of the shares were returned to the Company by the Transfer Agent requiring
a medallion guarantee. The Company expects to have these shares cancelled sometime in 2016. Secondarily, the Company is actively
pursuing the procurement of an additional physical certificate from a respective individual still in possession of the common stock
certificate. As of the time of these consolidated financials 3,392,000 of the 21,200,000 shares issued as part of the Agreement
remain outstanding.
The Company’s
total common shares outstanding totaled 48,562,750 at June 30, 2016.
Preferred Stock
In connection with
the merger, the Company authorized 1,000,000 shares of Series Z Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share
(the “Series Z Convertible Preferred”). The number of shares of Series Z Preferred Stock may be decreased by resolution
of the Board; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of Series Z Preferred Shares to less than the number
of shares then issued and outstanding. In the event any Series Z Preferred Shares shall be converted, (i) the Series
Z Preferred Shares so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued and (ii) the authorized number of Series
Z Preferred Shares set forth in this section shall be automatically reduced by the number of Series Z Preferred Shares so converted
and the number of shares of the Corporation’s undesignated Preferred Stock shall be deemed increased by such number. The
Series Z Convertible Preferred is convertible into common shares at the rate of 45 shares of common per one share of Series Z Convertible
Preferred. The Series Z Convertible Preferred has liquidation and other rights in preference to all other equity instruments. Simultaneously
upon conversion of the remaining Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, and Series C Preferred and exercise of any outstanding
stock options issued under the HGI 2007 Stock Plan into Series Z Convertible Preferred, they will automatically, without any action
on the part of the holders, be converted into common shares of the Company. Since the merger, in connection with the exercise of
stock options into common stock and converted Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred as noted above, 82,508
shares of Series Z Convertible Preferred were automatically authorized and converted into shares of the Company’s common
stock leaving 917,492 shares of authorized undesignated Preferred Stock in the Company in accordance with the Series Z Convertible
Preferred certificate of designation. As of June 30, 2016, there were 82,508 shares of Series Z Preferred authorized with zero
shares issued and outstanding.
The Company authorized
175,000 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share (the “Series X Preferred”).
The number of shares of Series X Preferred may be decreased by resolution of the Board; provided, however, that no decrease shall
reduce the number of Series X Preferred to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding. In the event any Series
X Preferred Shares shall be redeemed, (i) the Series X Preferred so redeemed shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued
and (ii) the authorized number of Series X Preferred Shares set forth in this section shall be automatically reduced by the number
of Series X Preferred Shares so redeemed and the number of shares of the Corporation's undesignated Preferred Stock shall be deemed
increased by such number. The Series X Preferred Shares rank senior to the Company’s common stock to the extent of $10.00
per Series X Preferred Shares and on a parity with the Company’s common stock as to amounts in excess thereof. The holders
of Series X Preferred shall not have voting rights. Holders of the Series X Preferred shall be entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the board of directors, dividends at an annual rate of 9% payable in cash when declared by the board. Holders of Series
X Preferred have a liquidation preference per share equal to $10.00. During March 2015, as part of the $250,000 compromise and
settlement agreement with the court appointed receivership discussed above, the settlement agreement calls for a relinquishment
and abandonment of any and all claims against Halo on 90,000 shares of the Company’s Series X Preferred stock belonging to
the receivership. The liquidation preference was $536,770 as of June 30, 2015. During December 2015, the Company exercised its
redemption right and redeemed the remaining issued and outstanding 53,677 shares in exchange for promissory notes. As such, as
of June 30, 2016, there were no shares authorized, issued or outstanding.
In April 2012, the
