(OTC:

and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1.5 million and

189%, over the comparable periods in 2015;

CEO, Richard Surber, commented, There are two areas that I am
very pleased with, the first and most obvious being the triple
digit percentage improvement to our top line revenues. The second
is not quite as apparent. We made what is in my opinion a
substantial improvement to the balance sheet and working capital
position of SAKL, but due to the way we report ticket sales, these
improvements are obfuscated by a $2.0 million deferred revenue
liability. At the time of this press release, it is a near
certainty that SAKL will recognize nearly 100% of those revenues by
December 31, 2016, which means that close to the entire $2.0
million will be removed from the liability section of the balance
sheet and added to top line revenues on our income statement. If
this were the case at June 30, SAKL would have a positive net
equity as well as a substantial improvement in working capital. We
will have to wait until December 31, 2016 to have a complete
understanding of how the deferred revenue liability will affect the
balance sheet when all of our events are expected to have been
rendered, but it looks encouraging, especially when looking back to
the same pattern at year end in 2015.
Mr. Surber continued, I remain focused on improving cash flow.
Some of our existing loans have a very short term coupled with high
interest rates. The short repayment terms is one of the biggest
risk factors facing SAKL that intend to solve. My team and I
continue to push forward on multiple fronts which include
completing our audited financial statements, refinancing debt with
more favorable terms, decreasing costs and increasing top line
revenues. I am confident that our lenders will work with us to
resolve some these cash flow issues in light of the great progress
we continue to make in 2016. Furthermore, many of the expenses were
incurring right now will be eliminated in 2017 due to improving
efficiencies and the completion of the integration of the August
2015 acquisition and its initial audit costs which we realized in
2016.
