ETHOS

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2009
1.
|
BUSINESS
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
Nature
of Organization
Ethos Media, LLC
(the “Company”) was organized on March 5, 2009, as a limited
liability company under the laws of the State of Michigan. The
Company is continuing to develop its strategic plan, raising equity and debt
capital and seeking prospective customers and acquisition candidates to
accomplish its growth strategies. The Company intends to operate as a private
cable operator and has targeted upscale, high density residential communities
such as condominium developments and associations and small private cable
operators to meet its growth objectives. The Company has no
employees; independent contractors are used exclusively in the conduct of
operations.
Development
Stage Activities
The
Company is currently a development stage enterprise. The loss
accumulated since the inception of business is considered a part of the
development stage activities.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in developing
a platform delivery system for media, internet and telecommunications offerings
by utilizing fiber optic technology. The Company has generated only minimal
operating revenues since inception. In December 2009, the Company’s initial
constructed and installed system known as the “Harborside” in Naples, Florida
went “live” and the Company began to deliver and to offer its product offerings
to three homeowner associations and 184 individual users. The term
“period” as used hereinafter refers to the time from the date of inception
(March 5, 2009) to December 31, 2009.
Capital
raised during the development stage has been utilized to construct the initial
delivery platform, provide the requisite customer services to the initial
installation, create demand with the targeted prospective customer community and
to begin to build an infrastructure capable of handling the significant
opportunities within the target market, which is currently the Southwest Florida
corridor.
6
During
the development stage, the Company has utilized and reimbursed a member for
office space which the member leases; expense charged to operations related to
this arrangement for the period amounted to $6,837.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Accounting
Policies
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents consist of demand deposits in banks and cash on
hand. In the normal course of business, the Company may maintain
financial institution deposits that periodically exceed federally insured
limits. Management does not consider uninsured cash to be a
significant risk.
Revenue
Recognition
Recurring
revenue from installations is generally recognized monthly as services are
provided to consumers. Company procedure provides for monthly
billings to be prepared at or near the 1st day of each
month. Commission and other revenue derived from Company product
offerings are recognized monthly based on the number of installations and
established rates.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company grants trade credit in the normal course of business. The Company has
two primary revenue streams from its operations (1) the homeowner or condominium
associations which have contracted for certain basic services and (2) the
individual home or condo owners who have contracted for certain value added
services. Contracts with the homeowner and condominium associations
are typically for 7 to 10 years with an option for renewal for a similar
period. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management
expects to collect from outstanding balances. Any write offs or
adjustments are charged to operations using the direct write off
method. Management believes that the realization of losses on
uncollected receivables outstanding at December 31, 2009, will not be
significant.
7
Reimbursements
Due From Master Systems Operator
The
Company functions as a DirectTV Key Account Operator under an agreement with AFL
Network Services, Inc. (“AFL”), a Master Systems Operator for
DirectTV. The Company periodically purchases equipment for the use
by, or provides services to, DirectTV customers which are ultimately reimbursed
through AFL. Any write offs or adjustments are charged to operations
using the direct write off method. Management believes that the
realization of losses on uncollected reimbursements outstanding at
December 31, 2009, will not be significant.
Property
and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization
Property
and equipment, consisting principally of the Company’s initial media platform
delivery system including computer and technical equipment, are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are estimated to be 5
years. Depreciation expense was $11,564 for the period ended
December 31, 2009.
Construction
period interest of $5,379 has been capitalized and is being amortized over 5
years. Amortization expense was $90 for the period ended
December 31, 2009.
Income
Taxes
The
Company is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes and, therefore, earnings and losses are included in the
personal income tax returns of the owners. Accordingly, the Company
will not incur federal income tax obligations, and the financial statements will
not include a provision for federal income taxes. The Company is,
however, subject to Michigan Business Tax (“MBT”) as described
following.
In July
2007, the State of Michigan signed into law the Michigan Business Tax (“MBT”),
replacing the Michigan Single Business Tax with a business income tax and
modified gross receipts tax. This new tax took effect January 1,
2008, and, because the MBT is based or derived from income-based measures, the
tax is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The law, as amended, established a deduction
to the business income tax base, beginning in 2015, if temporary differences
associated with certain assets result in a net deferred tax liability as of
December 31, 2007. This deduction has a carry-forward period to
at least tax year 2029. The effect of the MBT is not significant to the
Company’s financial statements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncement
In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard related to
Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, now codified as ASC Topic 740. ASC Topic 740
seeks to reduce the significant diversity in practice associated with financial
statement recognition and measurement in accounting for income taxes and
prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement attribute for disclosures
of tax positions previously taken or expected to be taken on an income tax
return. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 effective
upon inception (March 5, 2009), and, accordingly, analyzed its filing
positions in the state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax
returns. The adoption of ASC Topic 740 had no significant impact on
the Company’s financial statements. The Company does not have any
amounts accrued for interest and penalties related to UTBs at December 31,
2009, and it is not aware of any claims for such amounts by state income tax
authorities.
8
Subsequent
Events
In
preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated, for
potential recognition or disclosure, significant events or transactions that
occurred during the period subsequent to December 31, 2009, the date of the
most recent balance sheet presented herein, through September 15, 2010, the date
these financial statements were available to be issued. See Notes 4
and 6 for a description of significant subsequent events.

DEBT
|
Short-Term
In
November of 2009, the Company obtained an unsecured commitment in the amount of
$50,000 from an unrelated party which was funded in two installments, for the
purpose of purchasing equipment and/or funding the costs associated with the
completion of the Company’s initial installation. The lender advanced
these funds in anticipation of a higher level of future borrowings which did not
materialize. Accordingly, the Company has been requested, and has agreed, to
repay the $50,000, which management expects will occur on/or before
October 31, 2010. In absence of specific terms on the funds
advanced, the Company has accrued interest on this obligation at the rate of
8%. Interest expense on this note was $458 during the period, all of
which was accrued at December 31, 2009.
9
Long-Term
At
December 31, 2009, the Company had borrowed $200,000 from one of its
members and his related entities. Additional borrowings are expected
to occur in 2010 and, accordingly, to document the loan activity and the
commitment to provide additional required funds during the development stage
period, the Company entered into and executed a Master Promissory Note/Line of
Credit Agreement that provides a ceiling of $600,000 on borrowings from this
source. Interest is charged at 8% and is first due and payable on
January 8, 2011 and monthly thereafter. The agreement terminates on
March 8, 2011, and, accordingly, all principal and any remaining interest
will be due on that date. Interest expense on this note was $6,738
during the period, all of which was accrued at December 31,
2009. All of the Company’s assets, contracts, and intellectual
property have been pledged as collateral on the related
borrowings.

We have
reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Ethos Media,
LLC (“the Company”, a development stage entity) as of June 30, 2010 and
the related statements of operations, members’ deficit and cash flows for the
six-month period then ended. This interim financial information is the
responsibility of the Company’s management.
We
conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of analytical procedures and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial information taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
Based on
our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made
to the accompanying interim financial information in order for it to conform
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We have
previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America, the balance sheet of Ethos Media, LLC as of
December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, members’ deficit,
and cash flows for the period from March 5, 2009 (date of inception) to December
31, 2009, and in our report dated September 15, 2010, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2010
1.
|
BUSINESS
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
Nature
of Organization
Ethos Media, LLC
(the “Company") was organized on March 5, 2009 as a limited liability
company under the laws of the State of Michigan. The Company is
continuing to develop its strategic plan, raising equity and debt capital and
seeking prospective customers and acquisition candidates to accomplish its
growth strategies. The Company intends to operate as a private cable operator
and has targeted upscale, high density residential communities such as
condominium developments and associations and small private cable operators to
meet its growth objectives. The Company has no employees; independent
contractors are used exclusively in the conduct of operations.
Amounts
presented in these Notes to Financial Statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the
six month period then ended are unaudited.
Development
Stage Activities
The
Company is currently a development stage enterprise. The loss
accumulated since the inception of business is considered a part of the
development stage activities.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in developing
a platform delivery system for media, internet and telecommunications offerings
by utilizing fiber optic technology. The Company has generated only minimal
operating revenues since inception. In December, 2009, the Company's initial and
only constructed and installed system known as the “Harborside” in Naples,
Florida went "live" and the Company began to deliver and to offer its product
offerings to three homeowner associations and 184 individual users.
Capital
raised during the development stage has been utilized to construct the initial
delivery platform, provide the requisite customer services to the initial
installation, create demand with the targeted prospective customer community and
to begin to build an infrastructure capable of handling the significant
opportunities within the target market, which is currently the Southwest Florida
corridor.
During
the development stage, the Company, on a month to month basis, has utilized and
reimbursed a member for office space, which the member leases; expense charged
to operations related to this arrangement amount to $6,595 and $6,837 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and the period from March 5, 2009 (date of
inception) to December 31, 2009, respectively. Amounts accrued
related to this arrangement were $3,932 (unaudited) and $3,837 at June 30, 2010
and December 31, 2009, respectively.
6
Accounting
Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents consist of demand deposits in banks and cash on
hand. In the normal course of business, the Company may maintain
financial institution deposits that periodically exceed federally insured
limits. Management does not consider uninsured cash to be a
significant risk.
Revenue
Recognition
Recurring
revenue from installations is generally recognized monthly as services are
provided to consumers. Company procedure provides for monthly
billings to be prepared at or near the 1st day of each
month. Commission and other revenue derived from Company product
offerings are recognized monthly based on the number of installations and
established rates.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company grants trade credit in the normal course of business. The Company has
two primary revenue streams from its operations (1) the homeowner or condominium
associations which have contracted for certain basic services, and (2) the
individual home or condo owners who have contracted for certain value added
services. Contracts with the homeowner and condominium associations
are typically for 7 to 10 years with an option for renewal for a similar
period. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management
expects to collect from outstanding balances. Any write-offs or
adjustments are charged to operations using the direct write-off
method. Management believes that the realization of losses on
uncollected receivables outstanding at June 30, 2010 will not be
significant.
7
Reimbursements
Due From Master Systems Operator
The
Company functions as a DirectTV Key Account Operator under an agreement with AFL
Network Services, Inc. (“AFL”), a Master Systems Operator for
DirectTV. The Company periodically purchases equipment for the use
by, or provides services to, DirectTV customers which are ultimately reimbursed
through AFL.
Property
and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization
Property
and equipment, consisting principally of the Company's initial media platform
delivery system, including computer and technical equipment, are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are estimated to be 5
years. Depreciation expense was $33,970 and $11,564 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2010 and the period from March 5, 2008 (date of inception)
to December 31, 2009, respectively.
Construction
period interest of $5,379 has been capitalized and is being amortized over 5
years. Amortization expense was $538 and $90 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2010 and the period from March 5, 2009 (date of inception) to
December 31, 2009, respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
Company is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes and, therefore, earnings and losses are included in the
personal income tax returns of the owners. Accordingly, the Company
will not incur federal income tax obligations, and the financial statements will
not include a provision for federal income taxes. The Company is,
however, subject to Michigan Business Tax (“MBT”) as described
following.
In July
2007, the State of Michigan signed into law the Michigan Business Tax (“MBT”),
replacing the Michigan Single Business Tax with a business income tax and
modified gross receipts tax. This new tax took effect January 1,
2008, and, because the MBT is based or derived from income-based measures, the
tax is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The law, as amended, established a deduction
to the business income tax base, beginning in 2015, if temporary differences
associated with certain assets result in a net deferred tax liability as of
December 31, 2007. This deduction has a carry-forward period to at
least tax year 2029. The effect of the MBT is not significant to the Company’s
financial statements.
8
Recent
Accounting Pronouncement
In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard related to
Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, now codified as ASC Topic 740. ASC Topic 740
seeks to reduce the significant diversity in practice associated with financial
statement recognition and measurement in accounting for income taxes and
prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement attribute for disclosures
of tax positions previously taken or expected to be taken on an income tax
return. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 effective
upon inception (March 5, 2009), and, accordingly, analyzed its filing positions
in the state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as
well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The adoption of
ASC Topic 740 had no significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
The
Company does not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009, and it is not
aware of any claims for such amounts by state income tax
authorities.
Subsequent
Events
In
preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated, for
potential recognition or disclosure, significant events or transactions that
occurred during the period subsequent to June 30, 2010, the date of the most
recent balance sheet presented herein, through September 22, 2010, the date
these financial statements were available to be issued. See Note 6
for a description of significant subsequent events.

DEBT
(INCLUDING RELATED PARTY)
|
In
November of 2009, the Company obtained an unsecured commitment in the amount of
$50,000 from an unrelated party which was funded in two installments, for the
purpose of purchasing equipment and/or funding of the costs associated with the
completion of the Company's initial media platform installation. The
lender advanced these funds in anticipation of a higher level of future
borrowings which did not materialize. Accordingly, the Company has been
requested, and has agreed, to repay the $50,000, which management expects will
occur on/or before October 31, 2010. In absence of specific terms on
the funds advanced, the Company has accrued interest on this obligation at the
rate of 8%. Interest expense on this note was $1,984 and $458 during
the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and the period from March 5, 2009 (date
of inception) to December 31, 2009, respectively.
At June
30, 2010, the Company has borrowed $500,000 ($200,000 at December 31, 2009) from
one of its members and his related entities. To document the loan
activity and the commitment to provide additional required funds during the
development stage period, the Company entered into and executed a Master
Promissory Note/Line of Credit Agreement that allows maximum borrowings of
$600,000 from this source. Interest is charged at 8% and is first due
and payable on January 8, 2011 and monthly thereafter. The agreement
terminates on March 8, 2011 and, accordingly, all principal and any remaining
interest will be due on that date. Interest expense on this note was
$13,928 and $6,738 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and the
period from March 5, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2009,
respectively, all of which was accrued at the end of each of the respective
periods. All of the Company’s assets, contracts, and intellectual
property have been pledged as collateral on the related borrowings.
