Item 1.  BUSINESS


Business Development


Independent Film Development Corporation was incorporated in Nevada on September 14, 2007. The Company's fiscal year ends on September 30.  Effective April 24, 2008 we commenced operating as a Business Development Company ("BDC") under Section 54(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act").  On September 30, 2009, our board of directors elected to cease operating as a BDC.  


Our current plan of operations is to acquire and develop independent films for production, sales and distribution, with a goal toward significant partnerships with mini-major and the major film studios, such as Lionsgate and Sony, while simultaneously emulating those companies’ recipes for success.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS


This report contains forward-looking statements. The Company’s expectation of results and other forward-looking statements contained in this registration statement involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected are the following: business conditions and general economic conditions, competitive factors, such as pricing and marketing efforts, and the pace and success of product research and development. These and other factors may cause expectations to differ.


Current Business Plan of Operations


Independent Film Development Corporation’s overall plan of operations is to acquire and develop independent films for production, sales and distribution, with a goal toward significant partnerships with mini-major and the major film studios, such as Lionsgate and Sony, while simultaneously emulating those companies’ recipes for success.   


Currently IFDC has no active operational business that specializes in the marketing and sale of independent films. However, IFDC does have a management and marketing sales staff with over 23 years of collective experience in identifying, producing, marketing and selling filmed entertainment.  The majority of IFDC’s Sales/Distribution business operates in a small, low risk, and profitable segment of the entertainment industry that connects the independent filmmakers directly to the domestic and foreign distribution outlets worldwide.


IFDC’s mission is to develop, produce and acquire films with high profit margins and built in “profit” safety nets. We will seek to leverage the combined talents of an experienced management/producing and sales/distribution team to develop, produce and acquire films for sale and distribution, IFDC will look to incorporate and acquire additional entertainment business’s that compliment and assist our current portfolio to increase the value of our overall securities, and enhance shareholder value.

 

IFDC’s new plan of operations has three main components of film production and finance; Co-financing, acquiring product in the development stage, and its own film production.  This, coupled with film distribution through our parent company’s new film distribution subsidiary, makes up the new revenue model for the Company.


3


Co-Financing


Co-financing  is where a company such as IFDC goes out looking for films that are already financed at 50% or more, the optimal is about 75%. This can afford IFDC an opportunity to come in with the remaining funds and as co-financier/executive producer.


This is beneficial for several reasons, first we are "last in", meaning we have a shorter investment span then other investors and we will also negotiate to be first out. Many times a film has to start by a certain date due to actor availability, state incentives, or other time limits that force the film to make favorable deals so as to not lose the film.


The average co-financing deal usually works like this:


We would review the project and make sure it meets with our requirements of:

Good Script

A solid Director

Actors of some prominence


We would also want the film to have some type of distribution already in place from foreign, domestic or both.  If the project meets with our project requirements we would partner with the production and bring in the remaining cash.


For our investment we would expect  an average of 110% to  130% return on our investment. Once IFDC and all other investors have recouped, then all additional income from the film would be split on a percentage basis based on the amount of the individual investor’s original investment.  In addition, IFDC would receive a presentation credit in the opening titles and normally one or two executive producer credits. This not only builds IFDC’s brand name nationally and internationally it also helps us gain the respect of our peers in the industry. IFDC will constantly be on the lookout for these types of co-financing projects.


Acquire and Develop Original Product in Development Stage


With this strategy we will seek projects at an early stage, usually with a finished script and possibly a director, producer or actor attached, or some amount of equity, usually in the range of 10% to 25%.

 

The requirements are very similar to all of our production strategies:


1.     Well written salable script with a genre that is on the wave of coming into popularity.

2.     Salable actors attached or interested

3.     Director of some prominence (actor directors for example)

4.     Projects that have some hard money attached

5.     Projects that have some form of distribution (rarely found at this stage)

6.     Projects that have some studio interest (rarely found at this stage)

 

IFDC will seek out projects that have many of the  points listed above,  then “option” the projects for a period of one to three years for as little money as possible, sometimes without any cash up front at all.


4


IFDC will then set about developing the project to get it to the point of funding. This will include script re-writes, and attaching actors. We will also use any director or producer already attached to the film to help with the work thus enabling IFDC to have several projects developing at once while not straining our resources; we have the individual filmmakers do the lion’s share of the work while we supervise and advise.

 

If the project gets to a point where we think it is strong enough, we will attempt to procure financing through traditional film financing sources such as foreign and domestic deals. If we think the individual project is strong enough, we can try to raise a portion or all of the money ourselves through private investors.

 

If we are unsuccessful at any stage of the game we can stop devoting resources to the project and allow its option to simply expire.

 

With this strategy IFDC plans to harvest the best and strongest projects to proceed forward into production.  The advantages to acquisitions at the development stage are: the ability to guide the development process along, gearing it for success, steering the important decisions such as cast, director etc in a direction that will help make a more successful and profitable film. In addition we will be able to gauge the viability of the project with a small investment and will not risk big dollars, resources, and time before we can establish if the film is marketable or not.

 

The negatives are simply that we will spend small amounts of cash developing projects, some of which we will not bring to fruition, and so those projects will be a loss, but the films we do move forward on will be much more assured of financial success.


Film Distribution


IFDC has no current film distribution business, but its plan of operations includes developing a distribution arm with the help of its management, who have over 23 years of film sales experience.  


Each year, independent filmmakers produce over 15,000 films while only a small fraction are able to secure distribution for their product.  At the same time, the proliferation of theatrical and home entertainment outlets, including DVD/video (e.g., Netflix, Fox Video, Sony Video, Wal-Mart, Blockbuster), pay-per-view/video-on-demand (e.g., IN DEMAND), pay & free cable/satellite (e.g., HBO, Showtime), free television, new media (internet, pod-casting, web series, electronic delivery systems, etc.) and international markets, has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for filmed entertainment content around the globe.  However, the market connecting the filmmakers and the buyers of content is controlled by a few players in the industry.


The majority of the film distribution business will operate in a small, low risk, and profitable segment of the entertainment industry that connects the independent filmmakers and distribution outlets.  The company’s principal activities will consist of the following three complementary areas (in order of emphasis):


Sales agent – The company licenses partially or fully completed films made by independent filmmakers to entertainment distributions companies such as those listed above.  The company recoups expenses and earns commissions from the first dollar collected under the licensing deals it generates.   Unlike film producers who make large investments in the production of their films (with little guarantee of return), The company is able to generate its revenue from these films with minimal investment and risk.


5



Negative pickups – The company produces a film on behalf of a studio.  The company earns the difference between the predetermined budget and the actual cost of making the film, as well as a producer’s fee, typically generating between 5% - 10% of the total budget.


Film production – The company identifies, produces, and secures distribution of a film.  The Company owns the film in perpetuity and directly participates in all revenue generated by the film.  The company will only produce films when distribution is secured in advance by its sales agent arm.


There are few significant players in the small independent film sales agent business. The more prominent companies in this sector now focus on larger independent films.  Companies such as New Line Cinema, LionsGate, and The Weinstein Company, all began selling and distributing low-budget independent films before being acquired by major studios or going public.  As these companies have grown, their business has progressed towards larger budget films, creating a large opportunity for The company with smaller budgeted films.  In addition, investors such as Mark Cuban and Paul Allen are investing millions of dollars in entertainment production and distribution companies, such as Lions Gate, in order to secure content for their media outlets (HDNet and Charter Communications respectively).


The company’s leading distribution executive has 23 years experience in producing, selling and distributing feature film and television programming, have established a proven track record as well as valuable relationships throughout the entire film supply chain from independent producers to the buyers of filmed entertainment.  These relationships allow The company to operate in a lucrative and low-risk side of the entertainment business.  The Company anticipates having offices in both New York and Los Angeles.


Film Distribution Industry Overview


The motion picture industry continues to both grow and evolve.   2006 U.S. box office gross revenues reached approximately $8.8 billion (a 3.6% increase over 2001). Non-theatrical revenues grew 21% from 2001 to $12.3 billion making 2002 the first time that the home video revenue has surpasses that of theatrical grosses.


In the U.S. and international markets, the number of outlets for filmed entertainment continues to increase and fuel demand.  These outlets include: theaters, home video (DVD/Video purchases and rentals), television (pay per view (PPV), video on demand (VOD), premium and pay cable, free television, and satellite) and new media outlets.  In particular, the subscription growth in satellite and digital cable systems has providers scrambling to acquire programming for up to 500 channels.  As the number of home entertainment outlets continues to rise, the percentage of revenues earned by films in non-theatrical distribution outlets over all media outlets will continue to increase.


Another trend in the film industry is the significance of the independent film producers who produce over 15,000 films each year.  (Independent films are defined as films financed by any source other than a major studio.)  Independent film producers focus on raising money for the making and production of their films; they do not have the know-how or relationships to get their pictures distributed.  Accordingly, of the thousand of films produced each year, only several hundred generate any revenue at all while only a few dozen get distributed to theaters.  In fact, over 83% of DVDs in the market have never been released in theaters.


6


While the lion’s share of theatrical revenues continues to be generated from the major studio productions, the number of revenue generating films produced by independent filmmakers continues to rise.  In 2006, worldwide sales of independent films (all outlets) were estimated to be well over $6 billion.  Festivals like Sundance, Tribeca, Toronto, Berlin and others that showcase independent films are now major entertainment industry events.  In addition, each year several low-budget independent movies continue to “breakout” generating hundreds of millions in revenues (e.g., Little Miss Sunshine, Napoleon Dynamite, Cabin Fever, Saw, Diary of A Mad Black Woman, The Blair Witch Project, etc.).  


The making and marketing of a movie can be broadly divided into two areas – production and distribution.


Production


The production of a film includes:


Identifying and acquiring the rights to a story.

Preproduction (budgeting, casting, location scouting, set design, etc.)

Principal photography

Post production (editing, scoring, credits, dubbing, effects, etc.)


The aggregate costs associated with the production of a film are known as “negative costs”.  Independent filmmakers typically finance these costs with proceeds from “friends and family”, and occasionally individual investors.  The financial undertaking of independent film production represent the riskiest element in the economics of the film industry because even the best made film will generate no revenue without distribution.  Unbelievably, extremely few independent films have secured distribution before production commences and only a small fraction of films made get distributed at all.


Distribution


The distribution of a film encompasses marketing, advertising and duplicating in all of the outlets (as described above).  Films are usually distributed to markets in order of marginal revenue potential.  Typically the order will be as follows:


Domestic theatrical*

Foreign theatrical*

Worldwide DVD/Video

Pay per view (PPV)

Pay TV

Foreign TV

Network TV

Syndication


*(Note as stated above, only a small percentage of films are distributed to theaters.)


7


Financial success in the theatrical markets is as much determined by a film’s marketing budget (which can equal and even surpass a film’s negative cost) as much as it is by the characteristics of the film (e.g., “quality”, cast, genre, etc.).  Accordingly, most independent movies, many that appeal to niche audiences, skip theatrical outlets and go “straight to DVD/Video”.


With respect to domestic outlets, most film distribution (both theatrical and non-theatrical) is controlled by the major film entertainment companies (i.e., Disney, Fox, Paramount, etc.) as well as mini major companies (e.g., Lion’s Gate, Think Films, Focus Features).  Independent filmmakers that do get distribution for their films typically receive “net proceed” deals which mean they receive licensee fees after the distributor/sales agent collects their commissions and recoups their costs.


Domestic Theatrical Distribution


Most producers of independent films that get distributed to the domestic theatrical marketplace do so under “net proceeds” arrangements.  In these arrangements, the distributor retains a distribution fee from the “film rental” (amount received from the exhibitor) and recoups the costs incurred in distributing the film from proceeds.  After these costs are recovered, the remaining amounts constitute “net proceeds” which are typically allocated according to negotiated percentages.


Foreign Distribution


Films released into foreign theatrical markets are typically licensed by distributors who then sublicense the rights to all outlets to foreign sub distributors on a territorial basis.  With respect to independent films, these deals are usually done either on a net proceeds basis or on a flat fee basis.  



Worldwide DVD/Video Distribution


DVD/video cassettes are sold by distributor/sales agents directly to wholesalers who resell them to retailers who in turn rent or sell them to the public.  



Television Distribution


Films licensed for television distribution, which includes pay-per view/cable television, network television, satellite, VOD and television syndication, are typically done so for a fixed number of showings over a period usually commencing one to four years after the initial theatrical or DVD/video release of the picture.  With syndication, producers may license the right to broadcast a picture on local commercial television stations in the United States.  


Sales Agents


While there are purportedly a hundred plus companies that act as sales agents for independently produced films, there are only a handful of reputable companies with substantial backing and the ability to integrate and weather the ever changing marketplace.


8


Distribution Products and Services


The majority of the company’s distribution business will focus on the licensing of independently produced films to domestic and international distributors (as “sales agent”).  In addition, The company will produce small budget movies for major and sub-major studios (“negative pickups”) as well as produce movies that the Company will own (“internal productions”) in perpetuity.  All facets of The company’s business are low-risk while the sales agent and internal production are highly complementary.


Sales Agent


The overwhelming majority of independent films are made without adequate financing and/or distribution arrangements.  Often independent filmmakers run out of money during the finishing stages of a film.  In some cases, films get “stuck” in post production due to lack of payment to suppliers or become foreclosed films held by financial institutions and/or post production houses.  Those that have managed to complete their films then have the daunting undertaking of marketing the film to distributors.


The company’s primary focus is to act as a sales agent for independent film producers by providing the sales and marketing services for films.  The company acquires the rights to license these films (which are either fully or partially completed) from the filmmakers for little or no cash outlay.  The company then licenses the films to distributors in the various outlets (i.e., theatrical, home video, cable, TV, international, etc.).  The process usually takes between 1 – 12 months beginning when the sales agreement is effected with the filmmaker.  For a minimum cash outlay, The company participates in the revenue streams of films that cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to produce.   In addition, The company earns commissions from the first dollar received and recoups its upfront expense before the producer receives any proceeds.


The company’s principals have the relationships and credibility with independent filmmakers, production suppliers and the distribution companies.  This is due to their track record of profitably identifying and licensing films on behalf of producers.  Further, the production experience of The company’s principals enables them to enable the completion of any unfinished films quickly and efficiently.


Acquisitions and Marketing


The company identifies films through its network of independent filmmakers as well as industry festivals and trade shows including Sundance, Tribeca, Cannes, and Toronto.   The company estimates that it will represent, as a sales agent, 60+ films in the five years in this plan.  These films are projected to have gross licensing fees ranging from $350,000 - $3,000,000 with the majority of films generating gross licensing fees in the high six figures.   While it is possible that one or more of these films is distributed in theaters, the projected gross licensing fees only include revenue from non-theatrical outlets.


The company will acquire the rights to license (as sales agent) films for a period of 7-25 years in return for a commission ranging from 10-30% of the licensing fees paid by the distributors.  In some cases, The company will incur minimal upfront costs including: advances to the filmmaker, costs for finalizing the film, and marketing costs.  Upon signing a sales agent agreement, The company and the filmmakers agree on the “market attendance fees”, trailer/artwork and other marketing costs.  These costs, along with any advances to the filmmaker and/or costs to complete the film, are recouped by The company after its commission, but before any proceeds are paid to the filmmaker.  The company will incur costs of approximately $40-150K per film to prepare marketing materials including the production of a trailer, artwork, etc.


9


The company will market these films to distributors in all domestic and international outlets by utilizing its relationships with distributors for various markets as well as through industry shows and conferences (e.g., AFM, MIPCOM, NATPE).

Negative Pickups


Studios often hire film production companies to produce lower budgeted films.  In these situations, known as “negative pickups”, the studio and the production company agree on a budget for the film and the production company keeps the difference of the budget and the actual cost of producing the film, as well as a producer’s fee, typically generating between 5% - 10% of the total budget.


The company’s principals have profitably produced low budget films.  The company’s ability to produce quality films at or under budget stems from low overhead and excellent relationships with industry suppliers.  As The company does not receive funds (other than the producer’s fee which is paid over the course of production) from the studio until after the film is delivered, a credit facility will be arranged to cover the cost of producing the film.  In addition, a completion bond is obtained.


The company expects to produce approximately 5 films under negative pickup arrangements with budgets ranging from $1.4M to $3.8M in the five years covered by this plan generating estimated profits ranging from $300K to $900K per film.


Internal Production


The financing and production of movies is often the riskiest and most rewarding part of the entertainment business. The company will mitigate the inherent risks by only producing films that have secured distribution in some or all markets.  In addition, The company will act as the sales agent for the films it produces.  In the five years covered by this plan, The company plans on producing 10 films with an average budget of $300,000.  These films are estimated to generated revenues ranging from $500,000 to $1,500,000 averaging $700,000.


10


Motion Picture Production


Initially, the Company will produce quality, moderately budgeted feature-length motion pictures, from a variety of genres, for worldwide distribution, which it will generally develop internally.  Said films will have a majority of the production budget pre-sold prior to embarking on production.  The Company will look to have approximately 75% of any individual budget covered by license fees to mitigate the downside risk of production.


1.  Late-Night Banner


Under a Late Night banner, the Company will produce feature-length motion pictures, generally budgeted at approximately $200,000 each (inclusive of corporate overhead and distribution expenses), with erotic R-Rated content that is produced to be distributed worldwide to cable television channels (e.g., HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and Playboy TV, etc.) worldwide during “late-night” time slots, and to and through the home entertainment distribution window (e.g., video and DVD).

ery complex system. Depending on the products' genre and the audience the company wants to reach, this will determine which strategy needs to be implemented.  IFDC has three strategies depending on the project:


1. Direct to Video (Home Video), Domestic and Foreign


2. Limited Theatrical, then Video, Domestic and Foreign


3. World Wide Theatrical then Video, Domestic and Foreign


All of these, involve the company making a licensing agreement with a distribution company. We at IFDC strive to make strategic relationships with the best companies here in the United States and internationally. We do this by fostering relationships at various festivals and film markets like MIPTV, Mifed, AFM and Cannes Market.


Direct to Video (Home Video) -  this will be used to create equity by selling the licenses for our current back catalogue for home video market.


We will find a DVD label that is compatible with our vision for this title. They will make a good transfer and only use the best quality for production in the creation of the DVD.


The DVD label will do a cross-market promotion of IFDC and the title, via press releases, PR and various other media on the release of the DVD, and then reviews after the title is released.


IFDC's name and branding will be shared with the DVD company on the DVD packaging.  IFDC will negotiate a good licensing fee with profits paid out every three months.


Direct to video will also be a possible route for some of IFDC’s smaller budget films that don’t meet to the standards of theatrical but are made with a small enough budget have a smaller overhead and so would be fine with a direct to video release.


11



Limited Theatrical


3 to 4 months, of festival support to garner hype and awards in various film festivals, both domestically and internationally


We will then carry this hype and PR on to one of the major film markets where we will acquire a distribution deal with a sales company or a studio (if a deal is not already in place). In the deal we will attempt to procure a limited theatrical release based on the success and exposure of the film at the markets and festivals.


After the limited theatrical run we will sell the rights to both foreign and domestic for DVD rights, via the direct-to-video plan mentioned in our first strategy.


Full Theatrical


This is where we would sell all rights to a studio or mini major, they in turn would handle all distribution and advertisement for both theatrical and home video markets.


Employees


As of September 30, 2009, we employed a total of 5 people, three of whom are management and two clerical personnel.  We may require additional employees in the future. There is intense competition for capable, experienced personnel and there is no assurance the Company will be able to obtain new qualified employees when required.   


The Company believes its relations with its employees are good.


Patents


The Company holds no patents for its products.


Government Regulation


Government approval is not necessary for the Company’s business and government regulations have a negligible effect on its business.


Competition


We compete with other companies which have greater financial resources and experience than us. Our competitors include other, larger entities, which have substantially greater financial and other resources than us.


Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS


We are subject to various risks which may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.


12



We are a relatively young company with no operating history

 

Since we are a young company, it is difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including the ability to generate sustained and increased demand and acceptance of our products, the level of our competition, and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees. While management believes their estimates of projected occurrences and events are within the timetable of their business plan, there can be no guarantees or assurances that the results anticipated will occur.

 

We expect to incur net losses in future quarter.

 

If we do not achieve profitability, our business may not grow or operate. We may not achieve sufficient revenues or profitability in any future period. We will need to generate revenues from the sales of our products or take steps to reduce operating costs to achieve and maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate revenues, we may experience price competition that will lower our gross margins and our profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

 

We will require additional funds to operate in accordance with our business plan

 

We may not be able to obtain additional funds that we may require. We do not presently have adequate cash from operations or financing activities to meet our short or long-term needs.  If unanticipated expenses, problems, and unforeseen business difficulties occur, which result in material delays, we will not be able to operate within our budget. If we do not achieve our internally projected sales revenues and earnings, we will not be able to operate within our budget. If we do not operate within our budget, we will require additional funds to continue our business. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining those funds, we cannot assure you of our ability to generate positive returns to the Company. Further, we may not be able to obtain the additional funds that we require on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We do not currently have any established third-party bank credit arrangements. If the additional funds that we may require are not available to us, we may be required to curtail significantly or to eliminate some or all of our development, manufacturing, or sales and marketing programs.

 

We may seek to obtain them primarily through equity or debt financings. Such additional financing, if available on terms and schedules acceptable to us, if available at all, could result in dilution to our current stockholders and to you. We may also attempt to obtain funds through arrangement with corporate partners or others. Those types of arrangements may require us to relinquish certain rights to our intellectual property or resulting products.

 

 

We are highly dependent on Jeff Ritchie, our CEO. The loss of Mr. Ritchie, whose knowledge, leadership, and technical expertise upon which we rely, would harm our ability to execute our business plan

 

We are largely dependent on Jeff Ritchie, our CEO, for specific proprietary technical knowledge. Our ability to successfully market and distribute our products may be at risk from an unanticipated accident, injury, illness, incapacitation, or death of Mr. Ritchie. Upon such occurrence, unforeseen expenses, delays, losses and/or difficulties may be encountered.  Our success may also depend on our ability to attract and retain other qualified management and sales and marketing personnel.


13


We compete for such persons with other companies and other organizations, some of which have substantially greater capital resources than we do. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be successful in recruiting or retaining personnel of the requisite caliber or in adequate numbers to enable us to conduct our business.


If  capital  is  not  available  to  us to expand our business operations,  we  will  not  be able to pursue our business plan


We will  require  substantial  additional  capital  to  acquire additional properties and to participate in the development of those properties.  Cash  flows from operations, to the extent available, will be used to fund these expenditures.  We intend to seek additional capital from loans from  current  shareholders and from public and private equity offerings.  Our  ability  to  access  capital  will  depend  on  its  success  in participating  in  properties that are successful in exploring for and producing oil  and gas at profitable prices.  It will also be dependent upon the status of the  capital  markets  at  the  time  such capital is sought.  Should sufficient capital  not be available, the development of our business plan could be delayed and,  accordingly, the implementation of the USD Energy's business strategy would be adversely affected. In such event it would not be likely that investors would  obtain  a  profitable  return  on  their investments or a return of their investments.


Nevada Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders May Consider Favorable


Provisions of Nevada law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company. As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.


Our Officers and Directors Have the Ability to Exercise Significant Influence Over Matters Submitted for Stockholder Approval and Their Interests May Differ From Other Stockholders


Our executive officers and directors, whether acting alone or together, may have significant influence indetermining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these executive officers and directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.


Our Common Stock Has No Market and No Market May Develop


Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.

The Penny Stock Rules will cover our stock, which may make it difficult for a broker to sell investors’ shares.  This may make our stock less marketable, and liquid, and result in a lower market price


 Our common stock is a penny stock, which means that SEC rules require broker dealers who make transactions in the stock to comply with additional suitability assessments and disclosures than they would in stock that were not penny stocks, as follows:


Prior to the transaction, to approve the person's account for transactions in penny stocks by obtaining information from the person regarding his or her financial situation, investment experience and objectives, to reasonably determine based on that information that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person, and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person or his or her independent advisor reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. In addition, the broker or dealer must deliver to the person a written statement setting forth the basis for the determination and advising in highlighted format that it is unlawful for the broker or dealer to effect a transaction in a penny stock unless the broker or dealer has received, prior to the transaction, a written agreement from the person. Further, the broker or dealer must receive a manually signed and dated written agreement from the person in order to effectuate any transactions is a penny stock.


Prior to the transaction, the broker or dealer must disclose to the customer the inside bid quotation for the penny stock and, if there is no inside bid quotation or inside offer quotation, he or she must disclose the offer price for the security transacted for a customer on a principal basis unless exempt from doing so under the rules.


Prior to the transaction, the broker or dealer must disclose the aggregate amount of compensation received or to be received by the broker or dealer in connection with the transaction, and the aggregate amount of cash compensation received or to be received by any associated person of the broker dealer, other than a person whose function in solely clerical or ministerial.


The broker or dealer who has effected sales of penny stock to a customer, unless exempted by the rules, is required to send to the customer a written statement containing the identity and number of shares or units of each such security and the estimated market value of the security. Imposing these reporting and disclosure requirements on a broker or dealer make it unlawful for the broker or dealer to effect transactions in penny stocks on behalf of customers. Brokers or dealers may be discouraged from dealing in penny stocks, due to the additional time, responsibility involved, and, as a result, this may have a deleterious effect on the market for IFDC 's stock.

Item 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


The company has focused since its inception on forming its corporate structure, developing its business plan and raising capital.  The company is a development stage company with a plan of operations as set forth below.


PLAN OF OPERATIONS


IFDC’s overall plan of operations is to acquire and develop independent films for production, sales and distribution, with a goal toward significant partnerships with mini-major and the major film studios, such as Lionsgate and Sony, while simultaneously emulating those companies’ recipes for success. Some of these endeavors will include Maxim but many will be independent of Maxim and in partnership with similar distribution/production companies or with mini or major studios. The Maxim agreement has no clauses preventing IFDC in procuring any independent business outside of Maxim.  


Currently IFDC has no active operational business that specializes in the marketing and sale of independent films. However, IFDC does have a management and marketing sales staff with over 23 years of collective experience in identifying, producing, marketing and selling filmed entertainment.  The majority of IFDC’s Sales/Distribution business operates in a small, low risk, and profitable segment of the entertainment industry that connects the independent filmmakers directly to the domestic and foreign distribution outlets worldwide.


IFDC’s mission is to develop, produce and acquire films with high profit margins and built in “profit” safety nets. We will seek to leverage the combined talents of an experienced management/producing and sales/distribution team to develop, produce and acquire films for sale and distribution, IFDC will look to incorporate and acquire additional entertainment business’s that compliment and assist our current portfolio to increase the value of our overall securities, and enhance shareholder value.


During the next twelve months, we plan to satisfy our cash requirements by funding from our principals and additional equity financing.  However, we may be unsuccessful in raising additional equity financing, and, thus, be able to satisfy its cash requirements.


We will need a minimum of $500,000 to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months.  We will not be able to operate if it we do not obtain equity financing through subsequent private offerings, or contributions from our principals.  If only a minimal amount of financing is raised, we will continue to satisfy our cash requirements by contributions from our principals, which we expect will continue to contribute for the next twelve months.   We depend upon capital to be derived from future financing activities such as subsequent offerings of our stock. Management believes that, if this offering and the subsequent private placements are successful, we will be able to generate revenue and become profitable from advertising sales and achieve liquidity within the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies


The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. The discussion below is intended as a brief discussion of some of the judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Registration Statement. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.


We have identified below some of our accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. This is not a complete list of all of our accounting policies, and there may be other accounting policies that are significant to us. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see note 1 to the financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2009, included in this Form 10K.


Stock Based Compensation.


Shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued for services. These issuances are valued at the fair market value of the services provided and the number of shares issued is determined based upon what the price of the common stock is on the date of each respective transaction.


Estimates.


The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 these estimates.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments.


The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash,  and related party payables approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.


20


Income Taxes


In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 required a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 11 to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share.


In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share (“EPS”) and was effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, with earlier application not permitted. Upon adoption, all prior EPS data was restated.


Basic EPS is determined using net income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued.


Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Company’s business activities contain elements of risk. The Company considers a principal type of market risk to be a valuation risk. All assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors (which is based, in part, on quoted market prices). Market prices of common equity securities in general, are subject to fluctuations which could cause the amount to be realized upon sale to differ significantly from the current reported value. The fluctuations may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the Company’s portfolio companies, the relative prices of alternative investments, general market conditions and supply and demand imbalances for a particular security.


Item 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA


The financial statements of the company are attached as Exhibits to Item 15 and are hereby incorporated by reference.


Item 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND

               FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


Since inception, there have been no changes of or disagreements with our independent accountants.


21


Item 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer andChief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company’s management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, management considered certain matters deemed by the Company’s independent auditors to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below. Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2009, the Company has determined that its system of controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.


Item 9A(T)  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the company.


In order to satisfy its responsibilities, management has instituted a procedure, whereby financial statements are prepared by the Chief Financial Officer, reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, distributed to the board of directors for review and comment, and given to its outside accountant (former Chief Financial Officer) to review, along with the company’s books and records for the periods covered in the financial statements.  The financial statements are then presented to the company’s independent accountant for an independent review prior to the filing and disclosure of any financial information.


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company’s management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, management considered certain matters deemed by the Company’s independent auditors to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below. Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2009, the Company has determined that its system of controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.


22


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


Management had determined during the last fiscal year, that there were material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting procedures, and developed the current procedure to ameliorate the internal procedures.

Item 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES


We have not changed our independent accountants since inception.  Our independent accountant’s reports on the financial statements for the Registrant for the last two years of financial statements reported has not contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for the fact that the accountant included an opinion that, due to the Registrant’s significant losses from operations and dependence on financing to continue its operations, there is doubt about the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.


During the two most recent fiscal years, there have been no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with the reports.  


The Company’s Audit Committee consists of interested director Kenneth Eade and independent director Patrick Peach.  The Audit Committee verified the following with respect to our independent accountants:


1.

The accountant is and has been in good standing within the jurisdiction of its practice.

2.

The accountant is a member in good standing of the Public Accountancy Oversight Board (PAOB).

3.

The accountant is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within its potential engagement, and that no member of the firm had any interest or relationship with any officer, director or principal shareholder.


Audit Fees


The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the registrant’s financial statements is approximately the sum of $5,500 which all related to the review and audit of Company financial statements.


Tax Fees


No fees were paid to the former accountant for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.


All Other Fees


 No other fees were paid to the former accountant for any other services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To The Board of Directors and Stockholder of

Independent Film Development Corporation


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Independent Film Development Corporation (a Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ending September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and  the period from September 14, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over its financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Independent Film Development Corporation as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and for the  period from September 14, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in Note 2 to the financial statements  the Company has not  generated any significant revenue during the period September 14, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009 and has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of equity.  This matter raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows through the issuance of additional debt or equity financing to meet its obligations and sustain its operations.  Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Independent Film Development Corporation

Development Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2009


NOTE 1: HISTORY OF OPERATIONS


Business Activity.


Independent Film Development Corporation was incorporated on September 14, 2007 in the State of Nevada.  The Company filed an election n to operate as a Business Development Company (“BDC”) under Section 54(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) on April 24, 2008, but withdrew its election on September 30, 2009, and currently has a plan of operations to develop and distribute filmed entertainment.  For the ease of the reader, these financial statements have been prepared as if the Company were a development stage enterprise since inception.


The Company is currently a development stage company under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7.  


NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not generated any significant revenue during the period September 14, 2007 (inception) thorough September 30, 2009 and has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of equity. This matter raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These 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 be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to accomplish its business strategy and to ultimately achieve profitable operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing. Management plans to take the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence:


Management intends to raise financing through private equity financing or other means and interests that it deems necessary.  The Company, as described above, is in the business of investing in operations of other companies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its endeavor.


Cash and cash equivalents


For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


37


Stock Based Compensation


Shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued for services. These issuances are valued at the fair market value of the services provided and the number of shares issued is determined based upon what the price of the common stock is on the date of each respective transaction.


Estimates


The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 these estimates.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and current portion of long term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.


Income Taxes


In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 required a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 11 to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.



Earnings (Loss) Per Share


In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share (“EPS”) and was effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, with earlier application not permitted. Upon adoption, all prior EPS data was restated.


Basic EPS is determined using net income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued.


38



NOTE 4: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (formerly issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB SFAS No. 162), as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP launched on July 1, 2009.  The ASC does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the ASC will be considered no authoritative. The ASC is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The ASC is for disclosure only and will not impact our financial condition or results of operations.  The Company has adopted this pronouncement effective as of September 30, 2009. The adoption of this ASC had no impact on our financial reporting process.


On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Subtopic 815-10 (formerly SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133), which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under ASC Topic 815, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  Since the Company currently does not have any derivative instruments, there are no additional disclosures required.


On January 1, 2009, the company adopted guidance issued by the FASB on business combinations ASC 805 including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. In a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), the acquirer is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. It also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Additionally, it requires acquisition-related costs to be expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received instead of including such costs as part of the acquisition price. The adoption has not had a material impact on the company’s financial statements.


In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820 “Determining Fair Values When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly." This FSP provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly declined and (2) identifying transactions that are not orderly. The FSP also amends certain disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 157 to require, among other things, disclosures in interim periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This pronouncement is effective prospectively beginning April 1, 2009. The Company has determined that the impact that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.


39


In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820 and ASC 320-10-65 "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments". This ASC modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The ASC also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the ASC, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security's entire amortized cost basis. The ASC further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security's fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. ASC 820 requires entities to initially apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. This pronouncement is effective April 1, 2009. The Company has adopted this pronouncement; and determined that there was no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption.


In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." This ASC essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the ASC requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.  The Company has applied this pronouncement in the current reporting period.


In May 2009, the FASB issued, "Subsequent Events ASC 855-10-05, which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855-10-05 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. ASC 855-10-05 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted this pronouncement during the second quarter of 2009. ASC 855-10-05 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company has looked at subsequent events through the issuance date of these statement and has concluded that there are no material subsequent events for disclosure.


In June 2009, the FASB issued, "Accounting For Transfers of Financial Assets -- An Amendment Of FASB Statement ASC860, which requires entities to provide more information regarding sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the entity has continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASC 860 eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity", changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. ASC 860 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has determined that ASC860 will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (RASC 810-10, which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. ASC 810-10 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company's ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. ASC 810-10 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company's involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. ASC 810-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has determined that the adoption of impact ASC 810-10 will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-9 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2010-9"). ASU 2010-9 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC's requirements. ASU 2010-9 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company has  determined that the adoption of ASU 2010-09 will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.


In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-6 Improving Disclosures about Fair Measurements ("ASU 2010-6"). ASU 2010-6 provides amendments to subtopic 820-10 that require separate disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the presentation of separate information regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, ASU 2010-6 provides amendments to subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures about the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-6 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.


In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-2 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary- a Scope Clarification ("ASU 2010-2"). ASU 2010-2 addresses implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation—Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 810-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. ASU 2010-2 is effective for the Company starting January 1, 2010. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2010-2 will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

In December 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-17 Consolidations (Topic 810) Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities ("ASU 2009-17"). ASU 2009-17 amends the FASB ASC for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in ASU 2009-17 replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in variable interest entities. ASU 2009-17 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2009-17 will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.


In December 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-16 Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets ("ASU 2009-16"). ASU 2009-16 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The amendments in ASU 2009-16 improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.


 In August 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-4 Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments—an Amendment to Section 480-10-S99 ("ASU 2009-4"). ASU 2009-4 represents a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") update to Section 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The adoption of guidance within ASU 2009-4 will not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.


FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value measurement and Disclosures”, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to amendments to Subtopic 82010, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculates net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that will be made by the investee), and the investment strategies of the investees.

The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-lB. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient.
