ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
VALCOM, INC.S CORPORATE STRUCTURE
As of September 30, 2010, ValCom, Inc. had the following
operating subsidiaries:
1. |
My Family TV, LLC 100% |
2. |
Valencia Entertainment International 100% |
Unless the context requires otherwise, the term
Company includes ValCom, Inc., a publicly held Delaware corporation and, its subsidiaries, predecessors and affiliates whose operations or
assets have been taken over by ValCom, Inc.
The Company also has a number of non-operating
subsidiaries.
The Company is a diversified entertainment company and
during 2009, reorganized its operations into the following five divisions:
1. |
BROADCASTING |
On December 15, 2008, we acquired 100% of Faith TV LLC, a
Christian TV network operating through 65 television broadcast affiliates and through IPTV & LPTV networks. Upon closing, we re-branded the network
and launched it as My Family TV, a new family focused TV network with plans to add significantly more broadcast affiliates. My Family TV is
a strong family oriented network with a core established audience that broadcasts to almost 30m households on full-time and part-time basis through its
extensive affiliate network. My Family TV is a network created for American families, broadcasting in 80-90 markets throughout the United
States.
Since acquisition, the network has expanded by signing
affiliation agreements that place My Family TV into major markets including San Francisco, Houston, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, Detroit, Tampa, and
Charlotte. My Family TV will continue this expansion in 2011 by implementing an aggressive sales and marketing plan to launch the network in additional
major markets across the country.
With the acquisition of My Family TV, we now have a library
of over 1,000 films, over 200 episodic TV series and more than 500 individual TV one-off specials and documentary programs.
The purchase price included 100,000 shares of convertible
preferred stock valued at $9,000 based on an as if converted basis; 1,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $59,400 based on the
Companys quoted stock price; cash payments totaling $661,092. The total adjusted purchase price was $729,492. In September of 2009, ValCom made
the final payment and now owns the television network 100% debt free.
2. |
FILM AND TV PROGRAM PRODUCTION DIVISION |
ValComs business includes television production for
network and syndication programming, motion pictures, and real estate holdings. ValComs past and present clients include Paramount Pictures, Don
Belisarious Productions, Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, MGM, HBO, NBC, 20th Century Fox, Disney, CBS, Sony, Showtime, the USA Network, the Game
Show Network, Endemol, BET Home Shopping Network and Sullivan Studios.
ValCom has a long history of TV and film production and
continuously develops projects for productions and considers proposals for co-production. ValCom has developed and produced a number of live action
series pilots and full length feature film projects such as PCH (Pacific Coast Highway), One Deadly Road and the 40 episode TV series AJs Time
Travelers. ValCom has been commissioned to produce pilots such as Truster for Fox. It also produces development pilots itself for pitching to networks
such as the New York based sitcom Fuhgedabowit and Lets Do It Again featuring Frankie Avalon and Ultimate Driver. With its integrated studio
operation, studio equipment and post production facility, ValCom has the opportunity to co-produce by way of the provision of services with the
opportunity to defer costs and also to provide executive producer services to assist with development, planning, financing and
distribution.
1
Over the last 25 years the company has been producing and
acquiring movies, Television Shows and Music titles and to date, have comprised an impressive list of almost 5,000 titles and has now started to put
them in the market by leasing the titles to TV networks, iTunes, On Demand while continuing to seek new media options. There has already been a major
interest through some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. ValCom also plans on remaking some of the older titles. The company is in the
process of having all of its content appraised.
In 2009, ValCom produced the documentary feature film
‘Michel LeGrand is Music. The documentary pays tribute to Michel LeGrands five-decade, multiple award-winning career composing many
of the most memorable film and television scores and songs of all time. ValCom Inc. will premiere the documentary in a limited week-long theatrical run
in New York City on September 18th at the Coliseum Theater. In addition, the documentary will premiere in Los Angeles on September 16th at the Laemmle
Grand Cineplex 4. Michel LeGrand Is Music honors the work of the three-time Academy Award-winning French music composer, arranger,
conductor and pianist Michel LeGrand. LeGrand composed more than 200 film and television scores and numerous jazz, popular and classical musical
albums. He won Academy Awards for Best Music, Original Song for The Windmills of Your Mind from The Thomas Crown Affair (1969),
Best Music, Original Dramatic Score for Summer of ‘42(1971) and Best Music, Original Song for Barbra Streisand Movie
Yentl (1983). Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight narrates the documentary.
3. |
LIVE THEATRE AND EVENT DIVISION |
ValCom has a live theatre division responsible for bringing
live shows and events to fruition. In 2006 ValCom produced a theater production called ‘Headlights and Tailpipes which was unveiled at the
Las Vegas Stardust hotel and ran until July 2006. Other events produced included the 2006 Superbowl pre-game Wrap Bowl Event featuring Young Jeezy,
Academy Award winner Ludacris, Juvenile and Juelz Santana.
ValCom produced a live theatre event based on Michel
LeGrand and his music which debuted March 2010 at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas and featured a line-up of major international recording stars such as Sting,
George Benson, Melissa Manchester, Dion Warwick, Frank Sinatra Jr, Patti Page and Jerry Lewis. The show was also shot for Television and licensed to
PBS for two years for a $200,000 fee.
4. |
DISTRIBUTION |
ValCom, through Valencia Entertainment International
operates a complete distribution and syndication service to producers and thus
acquires content for its networks at little or no cost with its ability to guarantee TV broadcast and provide a launch for further home entertainment
distribution on DVD and on-demand channels through it other relationships. ValCom also has the opportunity to co-produce film and TV programs by way of
the provision of services with the opportunity to defer costs and also to provide executive producer services to assist with development, planning,
financing and then be able to acquire distribution rights for these productions.
ValCom owns a substantial library of television content
with over 1000 films and it also acquires third party film and TV programming which it distributes through Valencia Entertainment International.
ValComs extensive library also contains 5000 music titles, with some of the original records of the Platters, Elvis and Ike and Tina
Turner.
Valencia Entertainment was once a very successful
distributor of ValComs content of Movies and Television shows. In its first years of selling the content, it sold millions of dollars in
licensing fees. ValCom has determined that the time is right to take the product out to the market this year and relive the success story of selling
its content that is now starting to be utilized on its TV Network, My Family TV. The Company just finished its first of many tradeshows and seems to
have had a great response at NATPE this year in Miami, FL and has already put out several proposals.
On November 6, 2007, Valencia Entertainment signed an
agreement with Porchlight Distribution Inc. from Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, for the worldwide distribution of all 40 episodes of A.J.s Time
Travelers.
In December 2008, ValCom signed a production and
distribution agreement with XFC, the mixed martial arts promoter for the editing and world-wide distribution of 13 one hour shows featuring live events
promoted by XFC. XFC events are currently attracting the largest audiences of any mixed martial arts events promoted in the US.
2
To coincide with the Michel LeGrand live events in Las
Vegas in 2010, ValCom is planning a number of distribution opportunities including the distribution and syndication of programming based on the live
event, music recordings, album and other related events.
5. |
REAL ESTATE AND OTHER BROADCAST EVENT AUCTIONS |
In 2009, ValCom pioneered the process of live event
auctions covering a wide range of events for TV broadcast and live webcast. Combining the expertise in TV production, live event promotion and now as
the owner of a broadcast TV network, the opportunity offers a synergistic approach to such events. In 2008 and 2009, ValCom produced a wide range live
TV and webcast events including:
1. |
The Hilton ‘Make a Wish Foundation broadcast live from Barron Hiltons mansion in Beverly Hills in December 2008; |
2. |
The Universal Studios ‘Battlestar Galactica prop and memorabilia auction by live web-cast in 2009 over a number of days from the Pasadena Convention Centre; |
3. |
The Grammy Awards ‘Music Cares auction as part of the 2009 Grammy Awards. |
EXPANSION PLANS
The Company continuously reviews industry developments and
regulations for potential expansion opportunities. As a public company, the Company benefits from operating in highly regulated markets, which levels
the competitive playing field.
On July 14, 2007, we voluntarily filed for protection under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and became a Debtor in Possession. During 2008, we completed a plan of reorganization and emerged from
bankruptcy.
The background to the bankruptcy was that ValCom had
initiated suit against Chicago Title and The Laurus Master Fund in October 2005 because it claimed that Laurus and Chicago Title had retained the
$500,000 overage arising out of the proceeding in 2003/4. Subsequently, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of Chicago Title and Laurus.
ValCom appealed, contending that there were triable issues as to whether: (1) ValCom suffered damages; (2) Chicago Title and Laurus violated Civil Code
sections 2924K, 2924d, and 2924h; and (3)Chicago Title breached its duties as the foreclosure trustee.
Additionally, at the time that the trial court granted
Summary Judgment against ValCom, the trial court awarded costs and attorney fees of $562,127.30, and ValCom argued in its appeal that Chicago Title was
not entitled to attorney fees, and the attorney fees awarded to Laurus were excessive.
Prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, ValCom
attempted to obtain a stay against enforcement of the attorney fees and costs judgment awarded to Chicago Title and Laurus pending appeal. ValCom was
unable to prove to the trial courts satisfaction that the value of ValComs assets was sufficient to protect Chicago Title and Laurus
judgment. The Court denied ValComs attempt to use its property in lieu of a cash bond, and threatened with enforcement of the judgment, ValCom
had no choice but to file for the protection of the bankruptcy court.
ValCom, through appeals counsel, filed an appeal, and oral
argument on the appeal occurred December 17, 2007. On February 13, 2008, subsequent to the Debtors status conference in bankruptcy court, the
Court of Appeals for the Second Appellate District, Division Two, case number B193714, ruled in favor of ValCom, Inc. ValCom has reasserted its claim
against Laurus and Chicago Title for money damages based upon a foreclosure conducted by them. The case is set for trial on April 6, 2009. No action or
claim has been asserted against ValCom by these defendants.
On March 24, 2009, ValCom and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd, and
Chicago Title Company entered into a Settlement Agreement whereby ValCom resolved its previously asserted claims against Laurus and Chicago
Title. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Laurus agrees to pay the Company five hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($550,000) which was received
by the Company attorney on March 30, 2009. Within ten calendar days after the Company receives payment from Laurus, the Company filed a Request for
Dismissal of its claims, with prejudice, of its actions against Laurus and Chicago Title and Chicago Title. This settlement is reflected as
‘Other Income with full accrual made for legal costs relating to the settlement.
3
During this time, ValCom completed a major re-organization
of its operations and prepared a new business plan that will allow the Company to grow through acquisitions and internal growth. It is imperative that
the Company continues to grow its operational revenues. The Company has invested in new corporate offices, new studio facilities and has assembled its
management team and operational infrastructure.
On August 1, 2008, ValCom signed a letter of intent to
acquire 100% of Faith TVLLC, a Christian TV network operating through 65 television broadcast affiliates and through IPTV & LPTV networks. On
December 15, 2008, ValCom closed the agreement for the 100% purchase of Faith TV and has rebranded the network and launched it as My Family
TV, a new family focused TV network with plans to add significantly more broadcast affiliates.
In December 2008, ValCom signed a production and
distribution agreement with XFC, the mixed martial arts promoter for the editing and world-wide distribution of 13 one hour shows featuring live events
promoted by XFC.
THE COMPANYS COMPETITIVE POSITION
The Companys operations are in competition with all
aspects of the entertainment industry, locally, nationally and worldwide.
ValCom experiences competition from four market
segments:
1) |
Traditional television broadcasting |
2) |
Interactive television, game shows and reality television drama |
3) |
Movies for television and theatrical releases |
4) |
Studio facility services and other entertainment/media companies |
TELEVISION BROADCASTING
While the company has significant experience in TV
broadcasting and is broadcasting a 24/7 network through an affiliate network, technology advancements in the television broadcast area with a move to
high definition broadcast and expansion through IPTV & LPTV networks will be a feature of virtually TV networks. The competitive environment for
advertising has been especially difficult over recent times but the management expects that consolidation in the industry, alignment with other
networks to increase carriage and household coverage and continued innovative programming, particularly where network broadcast is a key element to a
number of revenue streams will be the focus of the management for the continued growth of the network.
On December 15, 2008, we acquired 100% of Faith TV LLC, a
Christian TV network operating through 65 television broadcast affiliates and through IPTV & LPTV networks. Upon closing, we re-branded the network
and launched it as My Family TV, a new family focused TV network with plans to add significantly more broadcast affiliates. My Family TV is
a strong family oriented network with a core established audience that broadcasts to almost 30m households on full-time and part-time basis through its
extensive affiliate network. My Family TV is a network created for American families, broadcasting in 80-90 markets throughout the United
States.
Since acquisition, the network has expanded by signing
affiliation agreements that place My Family TV into major markets including San Francisco, Houston, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, Detroit, Tampa, and
Charlotte. My Family TV will continue this expansion in 2011 by implementing an aggressive sales and marketing plan to launch the network in additional
major markets across the country.
With the acquisition of My Family TV, we now have a library
of over 1,000 films, over 200 episodic TV series and more than 500 individual TV one-off specials and documentary programs.
The purchase price included 100,000 shares of convertible
preferred stock valued at $9,000 based on an as if converted basis; 1,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $59,400 based on the
Companys quoted stock price; cash payments totaling $661,092. The total adjusted purchase price was $729,492. In September of 2009, ValCom made
the final payment and now owns the television network 100% debt free.
INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY
The Company has experience in the interactive
communications and entertainment fields, which brings together elements of the TV and telecom industry. During the year, ValCom facilities produced
major live interactive TV shows and reality TV based games shows including such shows as BETs ‘Take the Cake which was
broadcast live 5 night a week from the studios Burbank facility.
It has created and broadcast interactive
4
national and international television programs using state-of-the-art computer technology, satellite communications, and advanced telecommunications systems. The Companys management believes that its experience in developing and delivering interactive television programs, will enhances its ability to launch new entertainment and information programs based on comparable resources.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR OPERATIONS
WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO ACHIEVE OUR CURRENT
BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OUR INABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING COULD CAUSE US TO CEASE OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
We will need to raise additional funds through public or
private debt or sale of equity to achieve our current business strategy. Such financing may not be available when needed. Even if such financing is
available, it may be on terms that are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation
preferences, or other terms. Our capital requirements to implement our business strategy will be significant. However, at this time, we cannot
determine the amount of additional funding necessary to implement such plan. We anticipate requiring additional funds in order to fully implement our
business plan to significantly expand our operations. We may not be able to obtain financing if and when it is needed on terms we deem acceptable. Our
inability to obtain financing would have a material negative effect on our ability to implement our acquisition strategy, and as a result, could
require us to diminish or suspend our acquisition strategy.
If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms,
we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain product and service development programs. In addition, such inability to obtain financing
on reasonable terms could have a material negative effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced
to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put your investment dollars at significant
risk.
IT IS LIKELY THAT ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR STOCK WILL BE
ISSUED IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF OUR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A DILUTIVE EFFECT ON OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.
We will issue additional stock as required to raise
additional working capital in order to secure intellectual properties, undertake company acquisitions, recruit and retain an effective management team,
compensate our officers and directors, engage industry consultants and for other business development activities.
IF WE FAIL TO ADEQUATELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH, WE MAY NOT BE
SUCCESSFUL IN GROWING OUR BUSINESS AND BECOMING PROFITABLE.
We expect our business and number of employees to grow over
the next year. We expect that our growth will place significant stress on our operation, management, employee base and ability to meet capital
requirements sufficient to support our growth over the next 12 months. Any failure to address the needs of our growing business successfully could have
a negative impact on our chance of success.
IF WE ACQUIRE OR INVEST IN OTHER BUSINESSES, WE WILL FACE
CERTAIN RISKS INHERENT IN SUCH TRANSACTIONS.
We may acquire, make investments in, or enter into
strategic alliances or joint ventures with, companies engaged in businesses that are similar or complementary to ours. If we make such acquisitions or
investments or enter into strategic alliances, we will face certain risks inherent in such transactions. For example, we could face
difficulties in managing and integrating newly acquired operations.
Additionally, such transactions
6
would divert management resources and may result in the loss of artists or songwriters from our rosters. We cannot assure you that if we make any future acquisitions, investments, strategic alliances or joint ventures that they will be completed in a timely manner, that they will be structured or financed in a way that will enhance our creditworthiness or that they will meet our strategic objectives or otherwise be successful. Failure to effectively manage any of these transactions could result in material increases in costs or reductions in expected revenues, or both.
PENNY STOCK RULES MAY MAKE BUYING OR SELLING OUR
COMMON STOCK DIFFICULT.
Trading in our securities is subject to the penny
stock rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior
customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
purchasers written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any
transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny
stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current
quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker- dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from
effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. Broker-dealers who sell penny
stocks to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Commissions regulations concerning the transfer of penny stocks. These
regulations require broker-dealers to:
|
Make a suitability determination prior to selling a penny stock to the purchaser; |
|
Receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction; and |
|
Provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. |
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT, MEDIA AND
COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRIES COMPETITION FROM PROVIDERS OF SIMILAR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION.
The industry in which we compete is a rapidly evolving,
highly competitive and fragmented market, which is based on consumer preferences and requires substantial human and capital resources. We expect
competition to intensify in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively. We believe that the main competitive
factors in the entertainment, media and communications industries include effective marketing and sales, brand recognition, product quality, product
placement and availability, niche marketing and segmentation and value propositions. Many of our competitors are established, profitable and have
strong attributes in many, most or all of these areas. They may be able to leverage their existing relationships to offer alternative products or
services at more attractive pricing or with better customer support. Other companies may also enter our markets with better products or services,
greater financial and human resources and/or greater brand recognition. Competitors may continue to improve or expand current products and introduce
new products. We may be perceived as relatively too small or untested to be awarded business relative to the competition. To be competitive, we will
have to invest significant resources in business development, advertising and marketing. We may also have to rely on strategic partnerships for
critical branding and relationship leverage, which partnerships may or may not be available or sufficient. We cannot assure that it will have
sufficient resources to make these investments or that we will be able to make the advances necessary to be competitive. Increased competition may
result in price reductions, reduced gross margin and loss of market share. Failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could
have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.
7
THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE ENTERTAINMENT, MEDIA AND
COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY MAY RESULT IN OUR INABILITY TO PRODUCE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT RECEIVE SUFFICIENT MARKET ACCEPTANCE FOR US TO BE
SUCCESSFUL.
Certain segments of the entertainment, media and
communications industry are highly speculative and historically have involved a substantial degree of risk. For example, the success of a particular
film, program or recreational attraction depends upon unpredictable and changing factors, including the success of promotional efforts, the
availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, public acceptance and other tangible and
intangible factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we complete a business combination with a target business in such a segment, we may be
unable to produce products or services that receive sufficient market acceptance for us to be successful.
CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY MAY REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR THE PRODUCTS
OR SERVICES WE MAYOFFER FOLLOWING A BUSINESS COMBINATION.
The entertainment, media and communications industries are
substantially affected by rapid and significant changes in technology. These changes may reduce the demand for certain existing services and
technologies used in these industries or render them obsolete. We cannot assure you that the technologies used by or relied upon or produced by a
target business with which we effect a business combination will not be subject to such occurrence. While we may attempt to adapt and apply the
services provided by the target business to newer technologies, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources to fund these changes or
that these changes will ultimately prove successful.
IF OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT WE MARKET AND SELL ARE NOT
ACCEPTED BY THEPUBLIC, OUR PROFITS MAY DECLINE.
Certain segments of the entertainment, media and
communications industries are dependent on developing and marketing new products and services that respond to technological and competitive
developments and changing customer needs and tastes. We cannot assure you that the products and services of a target business with which we effect a
business combination will gain market acceptance. Any significant delay or failure in developing new or enhanced technology, including new product and
service offerings, could result in a loss of actual or potential market share and a decrease in revenues.
THE TV BROADCASTING INDUSTRY IS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE AND
REQUIRES CONTINUES INVESTMENT IN NEW TECHNOLOGY, MARKETING, CARRIAGE AND IN NEW PROGRAMMING
The TV broadcast industry continues to be under severe
pressure with declining advertising revenues and a very competitive environment. At the same time, the viewer are seeking continued technology
improvements such as High Definition broadcast which requires continued investment and higher costs of operation. The investment required for this and
the additional investment in improved programming cannot guarantee that the broadcast networks will retain its viewing audience or be attractive for
advertisers in the future.
IF OUR REAL ESTATE WE SELL BY LIVE TV AUCTION OR BY DIRECT
SALE IS NOT ACCEPTED BY THE MARKET OR CARRIES ANY RESIDUAL LIABILITY, THIS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSEEFFECT ON OUR PROFITS.
There is no guarantee that the TV auction sales or other
real estate sales will be successful, or that the company will be able to continue to source properties suitable for live TV auction sales or that
these properties, due to the fact that most of these are foreclosed properties, may carry some contingent or other liability.

ValCom also holds a 1/3 equity interest in the real estate
of 7.5 acres, 160,000 square feet of commercial space.

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Any significant legal action involving the Company during
the financial year and ongoing is set out below. The company also pursues legal action where appropriate in the normal course of business such as for
the collection of receivables or in the defense of frivolous claims on the company.
The Company filed suit against AAN (Americas Auction
Network) and Jeremiah Hartman for Breach of Agreement pertaining to Real Estate Auctions. In the first quarter, the Company advertised and introduced
AAN to a third party bank the foreclosed homes and jointly marked them for three successful auctions and was to be reimbursed for advertising and
expenses and 25% of the profits. No trial date has been set as of yet.
In March 2010 Mr. Powers was terminated for cause. Mr.
Powers took the company to arbitration. In the first quarter of 2011, the Arbitrator ruled that the Company was to pay 1/3 of Mr. Powers
contract. The Company is making arrangements to pay the Arbitrators award. Mr. Powers resigned as aboard member two weeks after his
termination.
The Company filed suit in January 2011 against Chameleon
Communications and Frankie Buddy Winsett for non payment of 14 months of rent, six months of employee payroll and 10% ownership in the
studio in which ValCom managed, besides other expenses. No trail date has been set as of yet.
CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY
During August 2008, the Company emerged from bankruptcy
following approval of a plan of re-organization by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California on August 5, 2008 and during 2008
and 2009 completed the approved plan of re-organization.
ValCom had filed a voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petition
on July 14, 2007 and obtained the status of Debtor in Possession. ValCom had initiated a suit against Chicago Title and The Laurus Master Fund in
October 2005 because it claimed that Laurus and Chicago Title had retained the $500,000 overage arising out of the proceeding in 2003/4. Subsequently,
the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of Chicago Title and Laurus. ValCom appealed, contending that there were triable issues as to
whether: (1) ValCom suffered damages;(2)Chicago Title and Laurus violated Civil Code sections 2924K, 2924d, and 2924h; and (3) Chicago Title breached
its duties as the foreclosure trustee.
Additionally, at the time that the trial court granted
Summary Judgment against ValCom, the trial court awarded costs and attorney fees of $562,127.30, and ValCom argued in its appeal that Chicago Title was
not entitled to attorney fees, and that the attorney fees awarded to Laurus were excessive.
Prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, ValCom
attempted to obtain a stay against enforcement of the attorney fees and costs judgment awarded to Chicago Title and Laurus pending appeal. ValCom was
unable to prove to the trial courts satisfaction that the value of ValComs assets was sufficient to protect Chicago Title and Laurus
judgment. The Court denied ValComs attempt to use its property in lieu of a cash bond, and threatened with enforcement of the judgment, ValCom
had no choice but to file for the protection of the bankruptcy court.
ValCom, through appeals counsel, filed an appeal, and oral
argument on the appeal occurred December 17, 2007. On February 13, 2008, subsequent to the Debtors status conference in bankruptcy court, the
Court of Appeals for the Second Appellate District, Division Two, case number B193714, ruled in favor of ValCom, Inc.
LAURUS MASTER FUND AND CHICAGO TITLE
ValCom had initiated an action against Chicago Title and
The Laurus Master Fund in October 2005 because it claimed that Laurus and Chicago Title had retained the $500,000 overage arising out of the proceeding
in 2003/4. Subsequently, thetrial court entered summary judgment in favor of Chicago Title and Laurus. ValCom appealed, contending that there were
triable issues as to whether: (1) ValCom suffered damages;(2) Chicago Title and Laurus violated Civil Code sections 2924K, 2924d, and 2924h;and
(3)Chicago Title breached its duties as the foreclosure trustee. Additionally, at the time that the trial court granted Summary Judgment against
ValCom, the trial court awarded costs and attorney fees of $562,127.30, and ValCom argued in its appeal that Chicago Title was not entitled to attorney
fees, and that the attorney fees awarded to Laurus were excessive.

ValCom, through appeals counsel, filed an appeal, and oral
argument on the appeal occurred December 17, 2007. On February 13, 2008, subsequent to the Debtors status conference in bankruptcy court, the
Court of Appeals for the Second Appellate District, Division Two, case number B193714, ruled in favor of ValCom Inc.
ValCom has reasserted its claim against Laurus and Chicago
Title for money damages based upon a foreclosure conducted by them. The case is set for trial on April 6, 2009. No action or claim has been asserted
against ValCom by these defendants.
On March 24, 2009, ValCom and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd, a
company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and Chicago Title Company, a California Corporation entered into a Settlement Agreement whereby
ValCom resolved its previously asserted claims against Laurus and Chicago Title. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Laurus agrees to pay the
Company five hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($550,000) which was received by the Companys attorney on March 30th. Within ten calendar days
after the Company receives payment from Laurus, the Company filed a Request for Dismissal of its claims, with prejudice, of its actions against Laurus
and Chicago Title and Chicago Title. This settlement is reflected as ‘Other Income with full accrual made for legal costs relating to the
settlement.

INTRODUCTION
PLAN OF OPERATION
As of September 30, 2010, ValCom, Incs operations
were comprised of the following activities:
1. |
BROADCASTING |
On August 1, 2008, ValCom signed a letter of intent to
acquire 100% of Faith TVLLC, a Christian TV network operating through 65 television broadcast affiliates and through IPTV & LPTV networks. On
December 15, 2008, ValCom closed the agreement for the 100% purchase of Faith TV and has re-branded the network and launched it as My Family
TV, a new family focused TV network with plans to add significantly more broadcast affiliates. My Family TV is a strong family oriented network
with a core established audience and broadcasts to over 50 million households on full-time and part-time through its extensive affiliate network. My
Family TV is a new network created for American families, broadcasting over 80 movies per month and in July 2009 launched Kid Mango, a daily 3 hour
kids block in a venture with Porchlight Entertainment which is carried on Sky Angel, iLife and on the ION digital channel and featuring major kids
programs including Emmy Award winning titles such as Jakkers, Jay Jay theJet Plane and Denis the Menace.
With the acquisition of My Family TV, ValCom now has a
library of over 1,000films, over 200 episodic TV series and more than 500 individual TV one-off specials and documentary programs.
Through our joint venture with New Global Communications,
Inc., we own a 45% equity interest in ValCom Broadcasting, LLC, a New York limited liability company, which operates KVPS (Channel 8), an independent
television broadcaster in the Palm Springs, California market. ValCom has not realized significant revenues from this joint venture to
date.
On December 15, 2008, we acquired 100% of Faith TV LLC, a
Christian TV network operating through 65 television broadcast affiliates and through IPTV & LPTV networks. Upon closing, we re-branded the network
and launched it as My Family TV, a new family focused TV network with plans to add significantly more broadcast affiliates. My Family TV is
a strong family oriented network with a core established audience that broadcasts to almost 30m households on full-time and part-time basis through its
extensive affiliate network. My Family TV is a network created for American families, broadcasting in 80-90 markets throughout the United
States.
Since acquisition, the network has expanded by signing
affiliation agreements that place My Family TV into major markets including San Francisco, Houston, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, Detroit, Tampa, and
Charlotte. My Family TV will continue this expansion in 2011 by implementing an aggressive sales and marketing plan to launch the network in additional
major markets across the country.
With the acquisition of My Family TV, we now have a library
of over 1,000 films, over 200 episodic TV series and more than 500 individual TV one-off specials and documentary programs.

Over the last 25 years the company has been producing and
acquiring movies, Television Shows and Music titles and to date, have comprised an impressive list of almost 5,000 titles and has now started to put
them in the market by leasing the titles to TV networks, iTunes, On Demand while continuing to seek new media options. There has already been a major
interest through some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. ValCom also plans on remaking some of the older titles. The company is in the
process of having all of its content appraised.
October 1, 2003, we formed New Zoo Revue LLC pursuant to a
joint venture agreement with O Atlas Enterprises Inc., a California corporation. New Zoo Revue, LLC was formed for the development and production of
New Zoo Revue a feature film and television series and marketing of existing episodes. The company did not proceed with the production of
the new feature film or series but in 2004, it did complete a distribution agreement for the DVD with BCI Eclipse for 183 episodes of the New Zoo Revue

In 2009, ValCom produced the documentary feature film
‘Michel LeGrand is Music. The documentary pays tribute to Michel LeGrands five-decade, multiple award-winning career composing many
of the most memorable film and television scores and songs of all time. ValCom Inc. will premiere the documentary in a limited week-long theatrical run

to guarantee TV broadcast and provide a launch for further home entertainment distribution on DVD and on-demand channels through it other

for these productions.
ValCom owns a substantial library of television content
with over 1000 films and it also acquires third party film and TV programming which it distributes through Valencia Entertainment
International.
Valencia Entertainment was once a very successful
distributor of ValComs content of Movies and Television shows. In its first years of selling the content, it sold millions of dollars in
licensing fees. ValCom has determined that the time is right to take the product out to the market this
15
year and relive the success story of selling its content that is now starting to be utilized on its TV Network, My Family TV. The Company just finished its first of many tradeshows and seems to have had a great response at NATPE this year in Miami, FL and has already put out several proposals.
On November 6, 2007, Valencia Entertainment signed an
agreement with Porchlight Distribution Inc. from Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, for the worldwide distribution of all 40 episodes of A.J.s Time
Travelers.

of $ during fiscal year 2010 compared to a net cash increase of
$ during the year ended September 30, 2009.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The total shareholders equity deficit increased to
$ in fiscal year 2010. Additional paid in capital increased by
$ in fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SOURCES OF
LIQUIDITY
During the last fiscal year, the Company financed its
operations with cash from its operating activities and private offerings of its securities to directors of the Company. On September 15, 2008, the
Company converted $1,669,729 in debt by issuing 1,669,729 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
The Company anticipates that its stock issuances and
projected positive cash flow from operations collectively will generate sufficient funds for the Companys operations for the next 12 months. If
the Companys existing cash combined with cash from operating activities is not adequate to finance the Companys operations during the next
12 months, the Company will consider one or more of the following options: (1) issuing equity securities in exchange for services, (2) selling
additional equity or debt securities or (3) reducing the number of its employees and reducing its operating costs.
FUTURE FUNDING REQUIREMENTS
The Companys capital requirements have been and will
continue to be significant. The Companys adequacy of available funds during the next fiscal year and thereafter will depend on many factors,
including whether the Company will be able to: (1) retain its existing tenants (2) rent its production equipment and personnel profitably, (3) develop
additional distribution channels for its programming. Assuming funds are available, during the next fiscal year, the Company expects to spend
approximately $1,000,000 for the Television Network, equipment and growth.
There can be no assurance that additional private or public
financing, including debt or equity financing, will be available as needed, or, if available, on terms favorable to the Company. Any additional equity
financing may be dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of
the Companys existing common or preferred stock. Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve
restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on the operating flexibility of the Company. The Companys failure to successfully obtain
additional future funding may jeopardize its ability to continue its business and operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
ValCom, Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively the
Company) businesses include television production for network and syndication programming, motion pictures, and real estate holdings,
however, revenue is primarily generated through the lease of the sound stages and production, a TV network and live event broadcasting including real
estate auctions. The Companys past and present clients include movie studios and television networks. In addition to leasing its sound stages,
the Company also has a library of television content for worldwide distribution and acquired a further library of film and television series with the
acquisition of Faith TV (now renamed My Family TV) during the year.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). This
summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently
applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Valcom, Inc. and two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Valencia Entertainment, Inc. (VEI), which was acquired effective February 2001, and Faith TV, LLC
(now renamed My Family TV) which was acquired in December 2008. Investments in affiliated companies over which the Company has a significant influence
or ownership of more than 20% but less than or equal to 50% are accounted for under the equity method. The Company has no equity affiliates as of
September 30, 2010.
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures
ASC820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances
disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as
financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the
origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The
three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted
prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2inputs to the valuation methodology include
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or
indirectly, for substantially the Full term of the financial instruments.
23
Level 3inputs to the valuation methodology are
unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.
Depreciation and
Amortization
For financial and reporting purposes, the Company follows
the policy of providing depreciation and amortization on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as
follows:
Production
Equipment |
5
years |
|||||
Office Furniture
and Equipment |
5 to 7
years |
|||||
Leasehold
Improvements |
5
years |
|||||
Autos and
Trucks |
5
years |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
ASC740 Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income
taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the
asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if
it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is
uncertain.
The Company adopted the accounting standard for uncertainty
in income taxes which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements
uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision whether to file or not to file a return in
a particular jurisdiction).
Shared Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with
FASB ASC 718, Share-Based Payment and FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sales or licensing of films is recognized
upon meeting all recognition requirements of Accounting Standard Codification 926, Entertainment Films (ASC 926) (formerly Statement
of Position 00-2). These requirements are a) persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists, b) the film is complete
and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery, c) the license
period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition, or sale, d) the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable,
and e) collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash and are not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in
interest rates. As a result, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with major
financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC).
24
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent customer obligations due
under contractual obligations where the conditions stated above in respect of revenue recognition have been fulfilled and where the customer has been
invoiced for the amount payable.
The Company evaluates accounts receivable where it believes
that there may be a possibility that the license agreement concerned may be at risk of being cancelled in the future. In these cases, the Company uses
its judgment, based on the available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the
receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received
that impacts the amount reserved.
If circumstances change (for example, the Company
experiences higher than expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customers ability to meet its financial obligation
to the Company), estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company could be reduced by a material amount. There was no allowance for
doubtful accounts at September 30, 2010.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When property and equipment is sold or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
included in income. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the
cost of an asset may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. There was no impairment recorded at September 30,
2010.
Film Costs
Film costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 926. Film
costs represent capitalized costs for the production of films and other entertainment projects. These costs will be amortized when the films that the
Company is producing meet all the requirements listed in ASC 926 and the Company is recognizing revenues for the Films.
Film costs are amortized in the same proportion that the
current revenue bears to the estimated remaining unrecognized revenue as of the beginning of the current year. Revenue and cost forecasts are
periodically reviewed by management and revised when warranted.
The carrying value of the film costs are periodically
reviewed for impairment. If events or changes in circumstance indicate that the fair value of the capitalized costs on a specific film are less than
their carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the projects fair value. No
impairment charge was recognized for the year ended September 30, 2010.
Development Costs
Development costs are capitalized costs related to projects
not in production. If the project is greenlit, the costs are reclassified as Film Costs. The Company evaluates on a monthly basis, all projects in
development. If the Company decides to abandon any project, an expense for the costs incurred to date will be included in the Companys
consolidated statements of operations. There were no development costs as of September 30, 2010.
Marketing Costs
The Company expenses distribution and marketing costs as
incurred. Distribution and Marketing costs for the year ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $136,457 and $84,828, respectively.
25
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and the reported amount of
revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property
and equipment was $145,880 and $87,965for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
NOTE 4. FILM COSTS
The Company has completed a documentary on Michael Legrand.
The documentary was released in March of 2010.
Film costs at September 30, 2010 consist of the
following:
Documentary
in release |
$ | 996,562 | ||||
Accumulated
amortization |
$ | (31,258 | ) | |||
Film costs,
net |
$ | 965,304 |
Based on the Companys estimates of projected gross
revenues as of September 30, 2010, the Company expects approximately 80% of completed films, net of accumulated amortization, will be amortized during
the next three years.
NOTE 5. NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has entered into note agreements with various
individual lenders to fund a concert by Michel Legrand (the Concert). The notes earn 0% interest and are collateralized by a 2.5% of the outstanding
shares of Valencia for every $25,000 borrowed. In addition, for every $25,000 borrowed, the note holder receives 2.5% of the net profits of the Concert
(after all costs related to the Concert are recovered). As of September 30, 2010, the balance owed lenders was $912,990.
26
NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
On January 6, 2009, we entered into a convertible note
agreement. The terms of the note are as follows: principal amount $100,000; annual interest rate of 10%; maturity date of January 6, 2011. The note is
convertible into common shares at a rate of $0.10. In connection with the note, we issued 1,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20. These
warrants, which vested immediately, were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.
NOTE 7. AUDIO AND FILM LIBRARY
The Company holds a library of video productions for
exploitation and broadcast which are carried at cost of $1,635,495.
According to an appraisal being conducted subsequent to
September 30, 2010, the VideoLibrary will have a certified value of no less than $6,900,000 for the copyrights and digital formatting. A
higher of value of 19,020,000 can be expected based on the potential income that can be generated over the next 7 years...In addition to valuing the
Video Library we have started compiling the information necessary for a valuation of the Audio Library which consists of Master Tapes, Demo Tapes,
Misc. Tapes as well as copyrights to most of the works along with copyrights on over 800 song titles. This appraisal will take a great deal of work to
sort through all the material available but we have already identified well over $2,500,000 in royalties that have not been paid over the last 19 years
on a few of the artists in the library. This does not include the copyrights on both published and non-published works.
This appraisal will in the opinion of the appraisers far
exceed the value of the Video Library by as much as 3 or 4 times in value.
NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
No provision for Federal and state income taxes has been
recorded as the Company has incurred net operating losses through September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $21,991,285
of net operating loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes available to offset future taxable income. Such carry-forwards expire
beginning in 2011.
Deferred tax assets at September 30, 2010 consist primarily
of the tax effect of net operating loss carry-forwards, which amounted to approximately $7,115,059. Other deferred tax assets and liabilities are not
significant. We provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax
assets at September 30, 2010 to reduce such deferred income tax assets to zero, as we believe that realization of such amounts is not considered more

NOTE 11. BANKRUPTCY FILING
On August 5, 2008, the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Central District of California entered an Order Confirming Second Amended Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the
Plan) of the Company. The Plan classifies claims and interest in various Classes according to their right to priority of payments as
provided in the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.{section} 101 et seq. (the Bankruptcy Code). The Plan provides that upon
payment of all obligations pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall be discharged of liability for payment of debts, claims and liabilities incurred
before confirmation of the Plan, to the extent specified in {section}1141 of the Bankruptcy Code.
29
The Plan provided for the treatment of each Class, and for
the cash payments that each Class of creditors will receive (and for the existing equity interests and rights that equity security holders will retain
under the Plan. The effective date of the Plan was August 15, 2008 (the
Effective Date). The Company has been funding the Plan through cash on hand and accumulated by the Effective Date to pay off the allowed
Priority Unsecured Tax claims.
On the Effective Date, unexpired leases and executory
contracts were assumed as obligations of the reorganized Company. The Order of the Court approving the Plan constitutes an order approving the
assumption of each lease and contract. Within 120 days of the entry of the order confirming the Plan, the Company filed a status report with the Court
explaining what progress has been made toward consummation of the confirmed Plan. The status report shall was served on the United States Trustee, the
twenty largest unsecured creditors, and those parties who have requested notice. Status reports are filed every 120 days and served on the same
entities until the Plan is fully consummated.
All persons or entities holding preferred or common stock
in the Company are referred to in the Plan as Interest Holders. The pre-existing pre-petition equity ownership interests and rights of all
Interest Holders will be left Intact and unimpaired. Of the total amount of common shares
issued, a majority of the common shares were issued to insiders of the Company. However, the Directors and President of the company elected to convert
their debt of $1,670,000 to Preferred Convertible Stock rather than issue approximately 33,400,000 shares of common stock as stated in the
Plan.

FIRM
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On January 18, 2010, the board of directors of ValCom, Inc.
(the Company) dismissed Seale & Beers CPAs (S&B) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
On January 18, 2010, the Company engaged Malone &
Bailey (M&B) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The
change in the Companys independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Companys Board of Directors on January 18,
2010.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange
Act (Exchange Act) of 1934, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Companys management, including Vince
Vellardita, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (CEO/CFO), of the effectiveness of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the year ended September 30, 2010. Based upon that
evaluation, the Companys CEO /CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are not effective primarily due to an
overreliance on consultants to review critical accounting areas and disclosures; and a lack of sufficient qualified accounting staff.
MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING
The management of ValCom, Inc. is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal
executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Companys board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
- |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
- |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
- |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal
control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.
However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process
safeguards to reduce though not eliminate, this risk.
31
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of
September 30, 2010, the Companys internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria. In performing this
assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses:
- |
Lack of adequate segregation of controls |
- |
Lack of adequate and qualified accounting staff to oversee the accounting and financial statement close process |
- |
Lack of adequate controls over debt and equity transactions |
- |
Lack of controls over the expense cycle |
This annual report does not include an attestation report
of the Companys registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The managements report was not subject to
attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING
No changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting have come to managements attention during the Companys last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

We do not have a standing Audit Committee, a Compensation
Committee, or a Nominations and Governance Committee of the board of directors. Our directors perform the functions of audit, nominating and
compensation committees. Our directors, Vincent Vellardita, Patrick Willemsen and Frank ODonnell, participate in the consideration of director
nominees. Due to the small size of our company and our board, the board of directors does not believe that establishing a separate nominating committee
is necessary for effective governance. When additional members of the Board of Directors are appointed or elected, we will consider creating a
nominating committee. The entire Board of Directors participates in audit related matters of our company, including, but not limited to, reviewing and
discussing our audited financial statements with management and our auditors and recommending to the board of directors that the financial statements
be included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K. In performing their role equivalent to an audit committee, the Board of Directors (i) reviewed and discussed the Companys
audited financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30,2009 with management, (ii)
discussed with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61 (Communication With Audit Committees),(iii) discussed with its independent registered public accounting firm matters relating to
independence, including the disclosures made to the Board as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees), and (iv) in reliance on the aforementioned reviews and discussions, recommended to management the inclusion of the Companys
audited financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Messrs. Vellardita, Willemsen and ODonnell are not considered independent directors as defined by any
national securities exchange registered pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or by any national securities association
registered pursuant to Section 15A(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Board and our management strive to perform and fulfill
their respective duties and obligations in a responsible and ethical manner. The Board performs annual self-evaluations. We have adopted a
comprehensive Code of Ethics for all directors, officers and employees.
During 2010, the Board of Directors met and/or executed
unanimous written consents of the Board of Directors times. While we do not have a formal policy requiring members of the Board to attend the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, we strongly encourage all directors to attend. No director attended fewer than 90% of the total number of
meetings.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

pay cash compensation to any director for acting in such capacity. However, the Company will give the directors a grant of shares of common stock and
reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for attending meetings. Outside directors received no cash compensation for their services; however

compensation for his services as a director, and the Company does not contribute to any retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans covering its
directors.
