Vibe Records, Inc. Nevada
(A development stage company.)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009

NOTE A - Organization and Description of Business

Vibe Records, Inc. Nevada, (“we” “us” or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 17, 2003 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Benacquista Galleries, Inc.  On May 30, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Vibe Records, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation.  Pursuant to the terms of the closing of the Merger Agreement, Vibe Records, Inc. was  merged with and into the Company. In connection with the closing of the Merger Agreement, our name was changed from Benacquista Galleries, Inc. to Vibe Records, Inc. Nevada.  This transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger.

The acquisition of Vibe Records, Inc. (Vibe) by Benaquista Galleries, Inc. (Benaquista) effected a change in control of Benaquista and is accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” whereby Vibe is the accounting acquiror for financial statement purposes.  Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to the reverse merger transaction, the financial statements of the Company will reflect the historical financial statements of Vibe from its inception and the operations of Benaquista for all periods subsequent to the May 30, 2008 transaction date.

The Company conducts business as an artist and repertoire company, as well as an independent record label in the music industry. We intend to distribute recordings made by our artists on a national basis, as well as operate state-of-the-art recording and production facilities.
 
NOTE B - Preparation of Financial Statements

The acquisition of Vibe Records, Inc. on May 30, 2008, by the Company effected a change in control and was accounted for as a ”reverse acquisition” whereby Vibe Records, Inc. was the accounting acquiror for financial statement purposes.  Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company are those of Vibe Records, Inc. from its inception.

The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has adopted a year-end of September 30.

The preparation 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.

Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud.  The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual audited financial statements filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission on its Annual Report on Form 10-K containing the Company’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009.  The information presented within these interim financial statements may not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and the users of financial information provided for interim periods should refer to the annual financial information and footnotes when reviewing the interim financial results presented herein.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009

NOTE B - Preparation of Financial Statements (continued)
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements, prepared in accordance with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions for Form 10-Q, are unaudited and contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective interim periods presented.  The current period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.

For segment reporting purposes, the Company operated in only one industry segment during the periods represented in the accompanying financial statements and makes all operating decisions and allocates resources based on the best benefit to the Company as a whole.

NOTE C - Going Concern Uncertainty

As of December 31, 2009, the Company has no revenue producing activities, limited cash on hand, and significant debt related to the financing of its operations.  Because of these factors, the Company’s auditors have issued an audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status.  This means, in the auditor’s opinion, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists at the date of their opinion.

The Company operates as an independent record label and a highly selective artist and repertoire company that intends to distribute nationally recordings made by its artists, as well as operate state-of-the-art recording and production facilities.

After selecting an artist, the Company intends to nurture each artist’s career through teaching, encouraging and supervising the artist, while simultaneously searching for and selecting suitable material, accompanists, side-men, producers and other professionals to enhance that individual’s chances for success.  The Company intends to attempt to secure exclusive standard industry recording contracts for between three (3) to five (5) new artists per year.  The ultimate success of this business plan will extensively rely upon the past history and experience of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer in the music industry.

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis.  Further, the Company faces considerable risk in its business plan.  If no additional operating capital is received during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on existing cash in the bank and additional funds loaned by management and/or significant stockholders.

The Company remains dependent upon additional external sources of financing; including being dependent upon its management and/or significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital in excess of the Company’s initial capitalization to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.

The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.

NOTE C - Going Concern Uncertainty (continued)

It is the intent of management and significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.  However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist.  There is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide additional future funding.

In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities.  Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.

While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps.

NOTE D - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. 
Cash and cash equivalents

For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Cash overdraft positions may occur from time to time due to the timing of making bank deposits and releasing checks, in accordance with the Company's cash management policies.

2. 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment were recorded at cost.  Depreciation was calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of five years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The amount of impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the estimated fair values.

3. 
Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

4. 
Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred.  The Company had no advertising expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE D - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

5. 
Income taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and various states, as appropriate and applicable.  As a result of the Company’s bankruptcy action, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, as applicable, income tax examinations by regulatory taxing authorities for any period prior to September 30, 2006.  The Company does not anticipate any examinations of returns filed for periods ending after September 30, 2006.

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences.  Temporary differences generally represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily accumulated depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts and vacation accruals.

The Company has adopted the provisions required by the Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  The Codification Topic requires the recognition of potential liabilities as a result of management’s acceptance of potentially uncertain positions for income tax treatment on a “more-likely-than-not” probability of an assessment upon examination by a respective taxing authority.  As a result of the implementation of Codification’s Income Tax Topic, the Company did not incur any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

6. 
Income (Loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements.

Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants).

Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation date.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company does not have any outstanding items which could be deemed to be dilutive.

7. 
New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is of the opinion that any and all pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE E - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.

Financial risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.

NOTE F - Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to a concentration of risk, include cash and accounts receivable.  All of our customers are based in the United States at this time and we are not subject to exchange risk for accounts receivable.

The Company maintains its cash in domestic financial institutions subject to insurance coverage issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  Under FDIC rules, the Company is entitled to aggregate coverage as defined by Federal regulation per account type per separate legal entity per financial institution.  During the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and subsequent thereto, respectively, the Company, from time-to-time, had deposits in a financial institution with credit risk exposures in excess of statutory FDIC coverage.  The Company has incurred no losses as a result of any unsecured credit risk exposures.

The Company is of the opinion that any and all pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position

These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Overview
 
We are an early stage company led by an experienced management team and focused on identifying qualified and talented artists.  Our long term role includes nurturing the artist’s career through teaching, encouragement and supervision, while concurrently searching for and selecting suitable material, accompanists, side-men, producers and other professionals to enhance the artist’s chances for success.

 
15

 

Plan of Operations
 
We intend to attempt to secure exclusive standard industry recording contracts for between three (3) to five (5) new artists per year.  We intend to utilize a highly focused artist selection process. The artist’s value will be significantly increased through the support of our specialized and well seasoned management team, modest recording budgets supported by a state of-the-art recording studio, strategic alliances with a renowned audio engineer, and the use of a major manufacturing and distributing firm. Furthermore, we will utilize these economic efficiencies to seek out and enter into agreements with pre-established artists. Arrangements with established artists will allow us to offer profit sharing ventures with established artists in which the artists submit their master recordings (while retaining their own ownership rights) and license the master recordings to us for manufacture, distribution and promotion.

We house and operate state of the art recording and production facilities. The facilities are utilized not only by our internal artist roster but also are available for outside contracting.

Through these and other endeavors, we intend to simultaneously promote and brand the Vibe Records label.  We believe that operating in this fashion will reduce overhead, and concerns about collection from accounts.

Critical Accounting Policies

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation allowances for inventory and accounts receivable, and impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these estimates and judgments form the basis for making conclusions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The SEC suggests that all registrants list their most “critical accounting policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and our results of operations, and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting policies include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, our ability to collect accounts receivable, the carrying value of inventories and fixed assets, the useful lives of our fixed assets and long-lived assets, the impairment of goodwill, the valuation of common stock related to compensation and other services and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. In applying these policies, management must use its informed judgments and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments and available information such as the estimated life of fixed assets for depreciation purposes, the market valuation of inventory in reporting inventory at the lower of cost or market, and the determination of the market value of stock when issued as compensation or as repayment for loans. The estimates that we make are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of our management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in our evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, may affect amounts reported in future periods.

Results of Operations.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

The Company had no revenue producing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.  For the three months ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company experienced a net loss of $(329,192) and $(165,325), respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased to $69,313 from $35,769 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, principally due to new stock-based compensation to officers and directors in 2009.  Professional fees and expenses increased to $ 115,570 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $46,446 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 due to increased consulting, accounting and legal expenses as a result of being a public company.  Research and artist development expenses increased to $81,457 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $22,692 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 due to production efforts on various projects as previously discussed.  Interest expense increased to $62,852 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $60,418 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.  This expenditure has remained relatively consistent and is expected to stay at or above current levels based on the Company’s need for capital and the lack of revenue producing activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $(3,633,000).  If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to it, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
 
We have historically incurred recurring losses from operations.  Our continuation is dependent upon a successful program of acquisitions and achieving a profitable level of operations.  We will need $1.0 million of additional financing for ongoing operations and acquisitions.  The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.  Obtaining loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.  We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain further funds we desire for our continuing operations or, if available, that funds can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we would cease our operations.

As shown in the financial statements, at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $ 19,531 and $309.  Net cash used in operating activities for each of the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $(143,565) and $(101,347) as a direct result of our net operating loss and the absence on any revenue producing activities.  Cash flows used in investing activities for each of the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $0 and $(24,071) which was used in the acquisition of property, plant and equipment in 2008.  Cash flows provided by financing activities were $139,287 during three month period ended December 31, 2009 and $125,727 for three month periods ended December 31, 2008 which was principally a result in a net increase in our borrowings from various sources to provide working capital.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. 

On January 12, 2010, we issued 571,430 restricted shares of our common stock in settlement and conversion of an outstanding promissory note in the amount of $15,000 held by Mr. Paul Ferandell that was transferred to him by Sean Kiernan, the original holder of the $15,000 note. The transaction referred to above did not involve an underwriter or placement agent and there were no underwriter’s discounts or commissions, or placement agent fees or commissions, paid in connection with the transaction.  Mr. Ferandell is an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, and has the business and financial knowledge to analyze the risks associated with ownership of our common stock. The shares of common stock issued in the conversion were restricted shares and were issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The shares issued in the conversion were subject to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We did not engage in any public solicitations in connection with the above transaction.
