Corporate History

We were incorporated in Nevada on November 2, 2005 under the name “Michael Lambert, Inc.”.  Up until August 5, 2009, we manufactured handbags.

On August 5, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, Daniel Grodnik and affiliated parties purchased a total of 7,984,548 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. This constituted a majority control of the Company.  In addition to the shares purchased, the Company also issued 42,015,452 shares to Daniel Grodnik and certain affiliated parties in connection with the Change of Control.  The total of 50,000,000 shares issued to Daniel Grodnik and the affiliated parties represents 74.6% of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of transfer.  

In connection with the change of control transaction referenced above, we changed our name to Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (“we”, “us“, the “Company”, or “Mass Hysteria”) and also changed our business plan.  We are now a development stage multi-media entertainment company created to produce feature films for theatrical, DVD, video on demand (VOD) and television distribution with an interactive component for the young adult market.  Our plan is to produce a minimum of two interactive theatrical films a year that appeal specifically to the youth market.  In addition, we intend to continue creating traditional film and television projects.

Our executive offices are located at Paramount Pictures, 5555 Melrose Avenue, Swanson Building, Suite 400, Hollywood, CA 90038. Our telephone number at our executive office is (323) 956-8388.

Industry Overview

Film Industry

Industry analysts hold that the film business has a high profile among consumers worldwide which can be leveraged for ancillary revenue, marketing and promotional activities.  While new technologies continue to expand the revenue and profit potential of motion pictures, the filmed entertainment industry has proven to be resistant to the economic cycles that adversely affect other businesses.  For example, during the last recession in the U.S. when annual GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth was 0.8% and 1.6% in 2000 and 2001, respectively, the US box office grew by 10% and 13%, respectively, in each of those years.  Despite the very difficult economic climate in 2009, U.S. box office increased 6.5% over the record year of 2008 to $10.5 billion.  PricewaterhouseCoopers projects U.S. box office to continue to grow by 5.2% through 2013 reaching $12.6 billion. Increase will be driven by the continued expansion of digital projection and the growth of 3-D technology.

International markets, accounting for 65% of worldwide revenue, were up 17% over 2004 figures, totaling $18.3 billion. Continuing the trend, industry analysts project worldwide box office to reach a projected market size of $37.7 billion, by 2013.

The home video market, which includes physical sales and rentals of DVD and Blu-ray and digital downloads, totaled $13.73 billion for the first three quarters of 2009, down only 3.65% from the same period the prior year.  The transition from DVD to Blu-ray, as well as consumer confusion over HD formats—with Blu-ray only recently winning the format war over HD-DVD—has seemingly gained its traction, and showed a 10% rise in Blu-ray rentals. Industry analysts believe, the recession also contributes, as consumers embrace rentals to save money.

The home video market totaled $3.4 billion in the first half of 2009, up 8.3% from the same period last year. Digital sales and rentals, including cable and satellite VOD, totaled $968 million, up 21%. DVD sales dipped roughly 17%, to about $5 billion, accounting for a total decrease of 13.5% in home video sales. However, Blu-ray interest surged 91%, accounting for $407 million in sales.

The U.S. home video market is expected to grow by 2.5% to $28.2 billion over the next five years as decline in physical DVD sales offset by the growth of Blu-ray disc sales and the convenience of home video rentals enhanced by online rental subscription services and digital download capability. In addition, the proliferation of new channels of distribution, such as Internet, VOD, SVOD, satellite, DVRs, ReplayTV, the recent Netflix-TIVO joint venture and others yet to be created should also maintain strong demand for filmed content.

Production Process

The process begins with the development of a screenplay.  During the development phase, the studio engages writers to draft and revise the screenplay and begins to obtain tentative commitments from a director and principal cast before ultimately deciding to "greenlight" (i.e., approving) the film for production.  A proposed production schedule and budget may also be prepared during this phase.

An independent film company can attract A level talent as a more creative friendly environment than a studio.  In addition, independents typically can produce a film for substantially less than a studio as it can partner more easily with talent (e.g., offer profit sharing in return for lower fees), has lower development costs and overhead that need to be defrayed, and sidesteps the interests of numerous parties (e.g., talent agents) that receive more compensation for a higher budgeted film.  Finally, independents can take more creative risks than studios which rely on franchises, sequels and formulaic approaches.  This is a further attraction for fresh talent.

The production process starts with the acquisition and development of a screenplay and continues with i) pre-production, ii) principal photography, and iii) post-production as seen below.

 
Distribution

Films are distributed through several windows of exploitation.  Theatrical exhibition occurs first when release prints of the film are distributed to movie theaters worldwide in concert with extensive advertising (P&A, prints and advertising expense).  Typically, theater owners retain approximately 50-60% of consumer ticket prices which in the aggregate comprise box office gross.   Theatrical releases overseas occur at different times in each country and can be as much as 6 months after the U.S. release.

About 4-6 months after theatrical release is the DVD release.  Distributors receive wholesale prices on product that is sold directly to consumers from retail outlets such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy and earn a percentage of rental income from chains such as Blockbuster and Hollywood Video.  Related costs for advertising, duplication, packaging, mastering and shipping typically run about 35% of distributor’s revenue.  Soon after DVD “street date” is the pay-per-view window.

The pay TV window (HBO, Showtime, Encore) begins approximately 18 months after theatrical release.  Prices received by distributors are based on contractual output arrangements and are tied to the film’s box office performance.  A year or two later, the distributor will sell the film to a network or major cable channel and then about 5 years later, the film will be sold into syndication or re-sold to pay or cable.

The major film studios perform all of these activities in the U.S. and through owned and operated offices in about 30 overseas markets that comprise the lion’s share of international revenue.  Producers often sell a film’s distribution rights through a sales agent to separate independent distributors in each overseas market.  These sales are referred to as “pre-sales”, “advances” or “minimum guarantees”.  These independent distributors, many of which are owned by major media companies and have considerable leverage in their home markets, will perform the above mentioned distribution functions.  For each unit of revenue earned, the local distributor deducts a distribution fee, local distribution costs, and the advance that it paid and remits the remainder to the producer.

New Media

Online content has established itself as an emerging powerhouse in the broader media market. With an increasing number of viewers incorporating online content into their established media intake, at times replacing older mediums, the industry is poised to redefine media consumption.

A number of new streaming sites entered the market in 2008. These sites sell advertising to in exchange for providing music for listeners either at low subscription fees or on a free basis.

More than 147 million U.S. Internet users watched an average of 101 videos and 356 minutes of video a month as of Jan 2009. Google sites, owner of YouTube, ranks as the top U.S. video property with 6.4 billion videos viewed on a monthly basis. More than 15 hours of video are now uploaded to the site every minute. Social networking sites, such as Facebook, with 122.2 million unique visitors (Hollywood Reporter), allow users to share video and should contribute to growth in online video viewing.

Professionally-produced online video grew 25% in 2008 with 41.6 billion views. Television content made up 17% of online long-from content in 2008. The duration of the average online video viewed at Megavideo was 24.9 minutes. Megavideo viewing climbed 15% month over month in Jan 2009 to 103 million videos. Meanwhile, Hulu had 250.4 million views in Jan 2009, a 4% monthly increase. Video retailers are beginning to capitalize on the shift to online viewing. Netflix’s new “Watch Instantly” feature allows subscribers to instantly stream an unlimited number of available titles at near DVD quality. Online long-form viewing is expected to grow as consumers continue to shift to the online format.

Another growing trend that will benefit our projects is the growth in Word of Mouth (“WoM”) marketing. WoM marketing utilizes research and technology to encourage consumers to dialogue about products and services, often facilitated by influential peers.

Consumers tend to rely on recommendations from friends and associates when making purchase decisions. WoM allows brands to target niche audiences efficiently via social networking sites and blogs. Consumers are gravitating to social network sites to share information and opinions about products and brands, and relying on bloggers for product reviews. According to study by a research team at Penn State University, one in five (20%) tweets posted on Twitter contains some type of inquiry or information about a specific product or service that is brand-related.

Fueled by the popularity of social networking, spending on WoM increased 14.2% to 1.54 billion in 2008. The ongoing trend of multi-tasking – or simultaneous use of multi-media, is also fueling WoM growth. Overall spending on WoM is expected to increase 14.5% annually to $3.0 billion in 2013. we should benefit from the growth in WoM by building a community for the Company’s projects and providing content across multiple platforms.

Our Business

We are a development stage multi-media entertainment company created to produce feature films for theatrical, DVD, VOD and television distribution with an interactive component for the young adult market.  Our plan is to produce a minimum of two interactive theatrical films a year that appeal specifically to the youth market.  In addition, we intend to continue creating traditional film and television projects.

Our plan is to change the theatrical paradigm. In that regard, we intend  to produce an experience that is more  fun  in the theater than on a laptop; to transform the theatrical experience from passive to engaged, by encouraging the audience to interact with the film by downloading applications on their smart phones which will offer a dynamic range of in-movie features including gaming, texting, contests and additional content. Our core business, which we call, “Mass Hysteria Cinema”, intends to introduce full-spectrum interactivity and social networking into the movie-going experience.  In ordinary movies the audience is ordered to turn  off  their handheld devices.  In our movies the audience will be encouraged to turn on their handhelds and participate in the presentation, creating  a radical new form of entertainment.  Our goal is to fully immerse  the audience in our movie, letting them  interact  with the content and, in some cases, even become  collaborators  in the Mass Hysteria brand.

We also intend to create a Mass Hysteria-branded website to continue the consumer’s Mass Hysteria experience outside of the theater. We hope this future site will not only be a content destination, but also be the source of our proprietary software applications enabling the integration of handheld devices into the movie narrative.

Beyond our unique cinema experience and destination website, our creative strategy also involves compiling an  “Idea Database” from which we will draw original content and interactive initiatives . This will provide Mass Hysteria a cutting-edge blueprint for success through innovation.

Major shifts are already underway in the publishing and music businesses, as evidenced by drastic changes in content and viewing/listening habits. We believe that movies must adapt to these changing times. Avatar set the movie bar higher with it’s visual innovations but kept the way the film was viewed solidly rooted in the 20th Century.  We believe our innovations to the theatrical experience will herald the next iteration of cinema for the 21st Century.

Mass Hysteria Cinema

Mass Hysteria’s core business will be built upon a suite of in-theatre innovations that will forever change the way an audience experiences movies.   These “gamechangers” will become the baseline for Mass Hysteria Cinema – the platform upon which we add, with each theatrical release, an array of new innovations, assuring a fresh, exciting experience for the audience every time they venture into a Mass Hysteria movie.

A short list of what we have planned for interactive elements include, without limitation:

SOCIAL RADAR – amusing and enticing theater proximity alerts

HOUSE PARTY –  on-screen announcement of an audience member’s name or avatar name upon log in and arrival

OUR TEXPERT – the entertaining “Do’s & Dont’s” of Mass Hysteria Cinema, as explained by a character we will own.

ON SCREEN CHAT – a real-time MESSAGE BAR on the big screen.

PHUNNY PHONE CALLS – audience hears over their handheld what the characters are really talking about.

Branded Website/Content Deployment Plan

We intend to create a Mass Hysteria-branded website to allow consumers to continue their Mass Hysteria experience outside of the theater. We hope this future site will not only be a content destination, but also be the source of our proprietary software applications enabling the integration of handheld devices into the movie narrative.

Additionally, our Branded Website will be the nexus of our three-phase content deployment plan designed to:

Virally market our movies across all media platforms

Engage the audience between theatrical releases

Build a loyal community around the Mass Hysteria brand
 
Our three-phase plan will begin 3-4 months in advance of the first Mass Hysteria theatrical release, and then our plan will repeat itself for each successive release:
 
Phase One:  Pre-Launch
   Using short form comically compelling video content modeled after public service announcements (i.e. “Friends don’t let friend go to regular movies”), we intend to virally market our brand and movies, engage the audience with User-Gen contests and build a community around the Mass Hysteria brand.   This phase will also see the online distribution source for our “Apps” to fully enable handheld devices for our Mass Hysteria Cinema experience.

Phase Two:  In-Theatre

With the theatrical release of each Mass Hysteria movie we will also release exclusive “in-theatre” content.   This additional material will be of unlockable “easter eggs” (hidden content), movie contest rewards and other exclusive downloadable content in the form of pictures, music and ring tones.

Phase Three:  Post-Launch

Immediately following the theatrical release of each movie, we intend that the Mass Hysteria website will make available select portions of the movie content.  Community members will be encouraged to create their own “mash-ups” (user-gen remixes) of our content for sponsored prizes and giveaways.  We expect this will generate a fresh supply of no-cost user-generated content on the Mass Hysteria site.
 
We intend to build a technology ecosystem that enables a range of interactions, via handset between theatre audience members and a cloud server.  The nature of the interaction involves social connectivity, conversation between audience members narrative extensions, in-experience gaming and content acquisition. The three core innovations are a mobile app, a mobile website and specially designed cloud architecture -- together these three technologies will create what we believe to be a unique immersive quality that can offer each theatrical audience member a customizable and sharable movie entertainment experience.
 
Revenue Streams

We expect to generate revenues in two categories:  (i) film and ancillary revenue and  (ii) merchandising/digital mobile.

Film Performance

We intend to produce two feature films per year and distribute these films theatrically in the United States through a Hollywood studio or national theatrical company. We intend to generate revenues based on the films performance.  U.S. box office performance is the key variable that drives worldwide ancillary revenue (e.g., DVD, TV).   A film’s “first cycle” generally begins with a U.S. theatrical release.  The film’s performance at the box office will then drive its release into other domestic and international corridors.  We intend to use a third party distributor for DVD distribution and television sales.  We will receive royalty fees from distributors.

Merchandising/Digital/Mobile
 
       We intend to generate merchandising revenue consisting of In-theatre and home viewing interactive activities (e.g., texting live on-screen commentary), “apps”, ring tones, interactive mobile downloads, new media (e.g., website, on-line games) and apparel, including proprietary functions

Government Regulation
 
Our  business may be subjected to governmental regulation and required to comply in the following areas:

Distribution Arrangements.  We intend to release our films in the United States through existing distribution companies. We will retain the right for ourselves to market the films on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis throughout the rest of the world and to market television and other uses separately.  To the extent that we may engage in foreign distribution of our films, we will be subject to all of the governmental regulations of doing business abroad including, but not limited to, government censorship, exchange controls, and copying, and licensing or qualification.  At this point it is not possible to predict, with certainty, the nature of the distribution arrangements and extent of exact governmental regulations that may impact our business. 

Intellectual Property Rights. Rights to motion pictures are granted legal protection under the copyright laws of the United States and most foreign countries, including Canada.  These laws provide substantial civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized duplication and exhibition of motion pictures. Motion pictures, musical works, sound recordings, artwork, and still photography are separately subject to copyright under most copyright laws. The results of such investigations may warrant legal action, by the owner of the rights, and, depending on the scope of the piracy, investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and/or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with the possibility of criminal prosecution.  Under the copyright laws of Canada and the United States, copyright in a motion picture is automatically secured when the work is created and "fixed" in a copy. We intend to register our films for copyright with both the Canadian Copyright Office and the United States Copyright Office.  Both offices will register claims to copyright and issue certificates of registration but neither will "grant" or "issue" copyrights.  Only the expression (camera work, dialogue, sounds, etc.) fixed in a motion picture can be protected under copyright. Registration with the appropriate office establishes a public record of the copyright claim.

Censorship. An industry trade association, the Motion Picture Association of America, assigns ratings for age group suitability for domestic theatrical distribution of motion pictures under the auspices of its Code and Rating Administration. The film distributor generally submits its film to the Code and Rating Administration for a rating. We plan to follow the practice of submitting our motion pictures for ratings.

Labor Laws.  Many of the screenplay writers, performers, directors and technical personnel in the entertainment industry who we intend to be involved in our productions are members of guilds or unions that bargain collectively on an industry-wide basis and may have state and governmental regulations that we must comply with.

Employees
 
As of November 30, 2010, we employed 1 person, our sole officer and director, Daniel Grodnik. We believe that our employee and labor relations are good.
 
Fiscal 2010 and First Quarter 2011 Developments

Interactive Script. In January 2011, we completed our first interactive comedy script written by Josh Miller and Pat Casey with Pat Proft.  This will be our first movie for which we intend to employ our interactive viewing experience with moviegoers.

Demo Film.  In the fourth quarter of 2010, we finished production of a six-minute promotional movie which demonstrates what it will be like for young audiences to participate in a Mass Hysteria movie.  We expect this demo film to be instrumental in securing strategic partnerships and sponsorships.

BASE Productions Agreements.  We entered into three agreements with BASE Productions, a reality show producer, in 2010.  Under these agreements, we will produce three reality television series, the first based on divorce lawyers in Palm Beach and the others around a fashion business based in Los Angeles and the Winter twins.  All of these reality series could represent a potential revenue stream, pending purchase by a network for broadcast.

Media Distribution Agreements.  On On December 1, 2010, we entered into an agreement with In Cue, LLC, under which we will be paid 10% of the first $630,000 in proceeds received from the distribution of the motion picture currently entitled “Stonerville” by Screen Media Ventures, and 15% for any proceeds in excess of $630,000 while In Cue LLC will retain 90% and 85%, respectively, of the proceeds received from Screen Media.  Additionally, we will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $10,000 in actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the distribution process.

As of March 10, 2011, there were approximately 111  record holders of our common stock.

We have not paid any cash dividends since our inception and do not contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.  It is anticipated that earnings, if any, will be retained to retire debt and for the operation of the business.

Shares eligible for future sale could depress the price of our common stock, thus lowering the value of a buyer’s investment.  Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for shares of our common stock.

Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, which can lead to significant volatility in the price and volume of our stock.  In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in recent years.  This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many smaller public companies for reasons unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the specific companies.  These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans.  We did not have any equity compensation plans as of the year ended November 30, 2010.

General

We were incorporated in Nevada on November 2, 2005 under the name “Michael Lambert, Inc.”.  Up until August 5, 2009, we manufactured handbags.

On August 5, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, Daniel Grodnik and affiliated parties purchased a total of 7,984,548 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. This constituted a majority control of the Company.  In addition to the shares purchased, the Company also issued 42,015,452 shares to Daniel Grodnik and certain affiliated parties in connection with the Change of Control.  The total of 50,000,000 shares issued to Daniel Grodnik and the affiliated parties represents 74.6% of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of transfer. For financial accounting purposes, this change in control by MHe was treated as a recapitalization with the assets contributed and liabilities assumed recorded at their historical basis.

In connection with the change of control transaction referenced above, we changed our name to Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (“we”, “us“, the “Company”, or “Mass Hysteria”) and also changed our business plan.  We are now a development stage multi-media entertainment company created to produce feature films for theatrical, DVD, video on demand (VOD) and television distribution with an interactive component for the young adult market.  Our plan is to produce a minimum of two interactive theatrical films a year that appeal specifically to the youth market.  In addition, we intend to continue creating traditional film and television projects.

Plan of Operations For The Next Twelve Months

The Company is in the development stage and consequently is subject to the risks associated with development stage companies, including the need for additional financing; the uncertainty of the Company’s technology and intellectual property resulting in successful commercial products or services as well as the marketing and customer acceptance of such products or services; competition from larger organizations and dependence on key personnel  To achieve successful operations, the Company will require additional capital to finance our films and to continue development of our interactive technology and marketing efforts.  No assurance can be given as to the timing or ultimate success of obtaining future funding.

Over the next twelve months, Mass Hysteria intends to create at least one short-film or full length movie and develop the technology for the interactive component of our movies. We will require funding of up to $2 million to produce one of our movies and to complete the interactive technology. We intend to build a technology ecosystem that enables a range of interactions, via handset between theatre audience members and a cloud server. The nature of the interaction involves social connectivity, conversation between audience members narrative extensions, in-experience gaming and content acquisition. The three core innovations are a mobile app, a mobile website and specially designed cloud architecture -- together these three technologies will create what we believe to be a unique immersive quality that can offer each theatrical audience member a customizable and sharable movie entertainment experience. We may sell debt and/or equity securities to secure financing for our film.  In addition, we may look to finance our film via more traditional film financing avenues.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS

 RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2010 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009

We had revenues of $25,000 for the year ended November 30, 2010, and no revenue for the year ended November 30, 2009, other than those related to the discontinued operations (handbag company).  We recognized $0 net loss from discontinued operations during the year ended November 30, 2010 vs. $1,641,239 in net losses from discontinued operations during the year ended November 30, 2009.  The lack of significant revenue in both periods is a direct reflection of the change of control and introducing a new focus and business plan.  As the new Company meets its business plan goals, we expect to generate more revenue in the future. In the interim period from August 5, 2009 to November 30, 2010, the Company has been assembling its new management team, developing its marketing and merchandising strategies and generally starting a new business. 
 
For the year ended November 30, 2010, we had general and administrative expenses of $1,026,022; selling expenses of $18,782; and net interest expense of $25,870.  For the year ended November 30, 2009, we had general and administrative expenses of $394,989; selling expenses of $11,791; and interest expense of $4,000.  All other expenses incurred were for the handbag business which has since been discontinued. The general and administrative, selling and interest expenses were a result of expenses incurred relative to the change in control and overall business focus to the film and entertainment industry.  
 
We had a net loss from continuing operations of $1,045,674, and a net loss from discontinued operations of $0 for the year ended November 30, 2010, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $410,780, and discontinued operations of $1,641,239 for the year ended November 30, 2009.  
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had total assets of $111,089 as of November 30, 2010, consisting of $780 in cash, $2,266 in net fixed assets, $95,250 in capitalized film costs, $9,996 in other assets, and $2,797 in other receivables. We had a working capital deficit of $306,451.
 
We had total liabilities of $763,089 as of November 30, 2010, consisting of current liabilities, which included $45,284 of accounts payable; accrued wages of $62,930; short term debt of $60,000; and various accrued liabilities of $141,814.  In addition, since August 2009, a related party has been providing capital for expenses, and purchased predecessor notes, which had a balance of $453,061 as of November 30, 2010.  
 
We had a total stockholders’ deficit of $652,000 as of November 30, 2010, and an accumulated deficit as of November 30, 2010 of $6,013,332.
 
We had $430,279 in net cash used in operating activities for the year ended November 30, 2010, which included $1,045,674 in net loss, offset by $357,467 in share-based compensation, $82,000 in contributed services, and depreciation of $874. Cash flows used in operations were offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $175,054.
 
We had $462,899 of net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended November 30, 2010, which included $202,899 in loans from a related party, $60,000 in short term debt, and $200,000 for sale of stock.
 
During February 2011, the Company entered into two 8 percent convertible promissory notes to raise $55,000 in operating capital. Both notes mature on November 28, 2011, and any unpaid principal or interest at that date accrues interest at the default rate of 22 percent annually.  Each note may be converted into common stock, at 59 percent of market price with a floor of $0.001(par value), at any time after 180 days from the issuance date until the maturity date.
 
Since we have no liquidity and have suffered losses, we depend to a great degree on the ability to attract external financing in order to conduct our business activities and in order that we have sufficient cash on hand to expand our operations.   These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources, including increases in related party loans and/or additional sales of additional stock, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. We have no commitments to provide us with financing in the future, other than described above.  Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when it approaches a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders. We cannot assure you, however, that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Use of Estimates: 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition:  

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is assured.  We had $25,000 in revenue for the twelve months ended November 30, 2010 and no revenues for the twelve months ended November 30, 2009 relating to continuing operations.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”  Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. Under ASC 718, the Company is permitted to record expenses for stock options and other employee compensation plans based on their fair value at the date of grant. Any such compensation cost is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the periods the options vest. If the options had cashless exercise provisions, the Company utilizes variable accounting.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (the "Company") as of November 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from August 5, 2009 ("Inception") to November 30, 2010. 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 audits 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 its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits 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 disclosure 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 audits provide 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 Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc as of November 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from August 5, 2009 ("Inception") to November 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Notes 2 and 3 of the financial statements, the Company is a development-stage company, has no liquidity, and has incurred losses and used cash in operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans with respect to these matters are discussed in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MASS HYSTERIA ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
 (A Development-Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
Michael Lambert, Inc. (“MLI”) was incorporated in Nevada on November 2, 2005.  MLI was in the business of manufacturing handbags, but ceased operations in June 2009.
 
On June 9, 2009, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement with Belmont Partners, LLC by which Belmont acquired 11,286,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in a private transaction. Following the transaction, Belmont Partners, LLC controlled approximately 85.41% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock.  

To better reflect the Company’s new business plan, on June 25, 2009, MLI changed their name to “Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc.” ("MHe", “Mass Hysteria” or the “Company”). MHe is an innovative motion picture production company that produces branded young adult film content for theatrical, DVD, and television distribution. MHe’s plan is to produce a minimum of three theatrical films a year that appeal specifically to the youth market.
 
On August 5, 2009 (date of “Inception” for financial reporting purposes), Daniel Grodnik was appointed as the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chairman of the Board and Secretary. Mr. Grodnik has worked in the movie industry for almost thirty years. He has served as the Chairman and CEO of the National Lampoon, a publicly-traded entertainment company. On August 5, 2009, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement, an affiliate of Mr. Grodnik purchased a total of 7,984,548 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of MHe from Belmont Partners. At this time, Belmont Partners’ designee was the sole officer and director of the Company.  In addition to the shares sold by Belmont Partners, the Company also issued 42,015,452 shares to Mr. Grodnik and certain affiliated parties in connection with the change of control (the “Control Group”). The total of 50,000,000 shares were issued to, or purchased by, Daniel Grodnik and the affiliated parties represents 74.6% of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of transfer. For financial accounting purposes, this change in control by MHe was treated as a recapitalization with the assets contributed and liabilities assumed recorded at their historical basis. There were no assets acquired or liabilities assumed by MHe shareholders after the change in control, which would have been recorded at fair value.  

The Company is entering a time of great change in the entertainment business. The motion picture business has had four significant revenue streams (theatrical, home video, cable and broadcast) since the early 1980's. Today, home video is in decline and new profit centers are opening up such as video-on-demand and internet portals that rely on micro-transactions.  The Company is endeavoring to be a company at the forefront of creating new revenue streams as they relate to the motion picture experience. Over the next twelve months, Mass Hysteria will be creating movies that will take advantage of traditional revenue streams that are still viable, and at the same time, identifying those revenue streams that will define new media's involvement in the film business such as downloading applications to smart phones that will allow the theater-goer to "participate" with the on-screen experience. Our plan is to combine these entertainment experiences into an alternative theatrical experience for young adults. Technology is evolving, too.  Interactive mobile applications are in development by third parties.  We expect to license or develop our own mobile applications in the near future, depending on our ability to raise capital and generate traditional sources of revenues.  There are technology and competitive risks associated with interactive mobile devices and theatrical films.
 
NOTE 2 –  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Development-Stage Company
 
On August 5, 2009, the Company entered into the development stage with its intended new business, which currently has minimal revenues. Management expects to sustain losses from operations until such time it can generate sufficient revenues sufficient to meet its anticipated cost structure. The Company is considered a development-stage company in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 – “Development-Stage Entities.” Upon distribution of the Company’s products, it will exit the development stage. The nature of our operations is highly speculative, and there is consequently a risk of loss of your investment.  The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition, and management of the identified business opportunity.  
 
Discontinued Operations
 
When specific operations of a business are sold, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of, the business must account for these related revenues and expenses (including any gains or losses on related assets disposed of) as gain (loss) from discontinued operations. Continuing operations must be reported separately in the income statement from discontinued operations, and any gain or loss from the disposal of a segment must be reported along with the operating results of the discontinued segment.
 
 
17

 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates that require the Company's most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation and capitalization of script costs. 
 
The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are considered reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
The Company may maintain cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company did not have any cash equivalents at November 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10"). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. ASC 820-10 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for ASC 820-10 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operations, but does require that the Company disclose assets and liabilities that are recognized and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, presented in a three-tier fair value hierarchy, as follows:
 
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
As of November 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any Level 1, 2 or 3 financial assets or liabilities, other than cash and cash equivalents, which require valuation.  
 
Film Costs
 
The Company capitalizes film production costs in accordance with ASC 926 – “Entertainment”. Film costs include costs to develop and produce films, which primarily consist of consulting fees, equipment and overhead costs, as well as the cost to acquire rights to films. Film costs include amounts for completed films and films still in development.  The Company began capitalizing script costs on March 1, 2010.  See Note 9 for additional disclosure. 
 
Loss per Share
 
Loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At November 30, 2010, the Company’s dilutive securities outstanding consisted of (1) the CEO’s options to purchase shares of common stock (see Note 8), for which the exercise price is above the average closing price of the Company’s common stock and thus excluded under the treasury method; and (2) 6,768,454 shares relative to convertible notes to a related party expected to be issued (post conversion) beginning in February 2015.  As of November 30, 2009, the Company had convertible debt which consisted of $55,268 which was convertible into no more than 10,000,000 shares of common stock.  

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company has adopted ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment." requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances.
 
 
18

 
 
Equipment and Furniture
 
Equipment and furniture will be stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs to equipment and furniture will be expensed as incurred, and significant additions and improvements will be capitalized. The capitalized costs of leasehold and building improvements will be depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets or the term of the related leases, whichever is shorter. All other equipment and furniture assets will be depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. 
 
Website Development Costs
 
Website development costs are for the development of the Company's Internet website. These costs have been capitalized when acquired and installed, and are being amortized over its estimated useful life of three years on a straight line basis. The Company accounts for these costs in accordance with ASC 340, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs”, which specifies the appropriate accounting for costs incurred in connection with the development and maintenance of websites.  At November 30, 2010, the Company owned a website costing $3,230 and had an estimated useful life of three (3) years.  Depreciation expenses related to website development costs during the years ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 were $874 and $90, respectively. 
 
Recoupable Costs and Producer Advances
 
Recoupable costs and producer advances represent amounts paid by the Company that will be expected to be subsequently recouped through the collection of fees associated with the Company's licensing of content represented by third parties. In connection with the film production segment's content operations which may be represented by others, the Company will enter into sales agency agreements whereby the Company will act as a sales agent for a producer's film ("Sales Agency Agreements"). These Sales Agency Agreements typically include provisions whereby certain costs that are incurred for promotion related activities will be paid by the Company on behalf of the producer (such as movie trailer and ad material costs). The Company may also pay the producer an advance for the related film prior to the distribution of such film. As the Company subsequently licenses the producer's film and license fees are collected, the recoupable costs and producer advances will be recovered by the Company through these license fee collections. License fees typically are not paid to the producer of the related film until such recoupable costs and producer advances have been fully recovered by the Company.
 
Producers Fees
 
Producer fees will be recognized upon receipt of the fees and delivery of the related services.  If upon receipt of the fees all services have not been provided, the fees will be deferred and recognized as the services are performed.
 
Royalties
 
Royalty and profit participation will be recognized when the amounts are known and the receipt of the royalties is reasonably assured.  Accordingly, recognition generally occurs upon receipt (usually quarterly or semi-annually).
 
Distribution Revenues
 
Distribution Revenues will be recognized when earned and appropriately reported by third (3rd) party distribution companies and recorded Gross along with any distribution expenses charged by the Distributor and upon receipt of such revenues.
 
Producer Development, Production Service Fees and Film Distribution Fees
 
As these services are provided, these fees will be invoiced to the third party financiers and producers and recognized when the amount has been determined and receipt is reasonably assured. 
 
Stock Options
 
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” the Company accounts for employee and non-employee director stock issuances and stock options under the fair value method which requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award. The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award.
 
Deferred Producer Liabilities
 
Deferred producer liabilities represent outstanding amounts due to the producer or to be retained by the Company upon the collection of license fee amounts related to the sale of repped content by the Film Production segment. In accordance with the Sales Agency Agreements entered into by the Company and represented content producers, when license fees associated with the Company's sale of represented content are collected, the amounts are paid to the producer and/or retained by the Company. Amounts are paid to the Company for its sales agency commission, recoupment of outstanding film costs and producer advances ("Recoupable Costs") or as market fee revenue. The terms of the Sales Agency Agreements provide that collected license fees will be distributed to the producer and/or retained by the Company based on a specific allocation order as defined by each agreement. The allocation order is dependent on certain criteria including total license fee collections, outstanding Recoupable Cost balances and certain other criteria as specified by the Sales Agency Agreements. Because these criteria cannot be reasonably determined until the license fees are collected, the appropriate allocation order of uncollected license fees cannot be established. Accordingly, the uncollected license fee amounts are recorded as deferred producer liabilities until such time as the amounts are collected and the allocation order can be reasonably determined. 
 
 
19

 
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company makes certain estimates and judgments in determining its income tax provision expense. These estimates and judgments are used in the determination of tax credits, benefits and deductions, and the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities which are a result of differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. The Company also uses estimates and judgments in determining interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. Significant changes to these estimates could result in a material change to the Company's tax provision in subsequent periods.
 
The Company is required to evaluate the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If the Company's evaluation determines that the recovery is unlikely, it would be required to increase the provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets equal to the amount that is not expected to be recoverable. The Company currently estimates that its deferred tax assets will be recoverable. If these estimates were to change and the Company's assessment indicated it would be unable to recover the deferred tax assets, the Company would be required to increase its income tax provision expense in the period of the change in estimate.
 
The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of tax regulations.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax position liabilities. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This process is based on various factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, settlement of issues under audit, and new audit activity. Changes to these factors and the Company's estimates regarding these factors could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. 
 
Recently Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, or ASU 2010-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide clarification of a circumstance in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. A reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities (or similar liabilities when traded as assets) and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820. ASU 2010-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is a development-stage company, has limited available capital, has limited revenues from intended operations, suffered losses since inception and used cash in operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking debt or equity capital to meet our obligations and business needs. There is no assurance that future capital raising plans will be successful in obtaining sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

Accrued interest represents interest on a long term loan from a related party, and the interest on a short term note payable from an external party.  Accrued consulting fees are for script writers and a film consultant.   Other accrued expenses consist of accrued rent and related office parking.  
 
Based on the CEO’s employment agreement, the Company accrues $30,000 per month for gross wages, and pays these wages at various times as capital becomes available. During the year ended November 30, 2010, accrued wages of $82,000 were personally forgiven by the CEO; as a result, this amount was recorded to contributed services in the accompanying statement of stockholders’ deficit. The CEO’s compensation is required to be reported on IRS Form W-2; however, no such reporting has been made by the Company.  Payroll taxes are accrued for the CEO’s salary to properly reflect the amount of expense related to his compensation.  In the event the Company is audited by the IRS, it will likely be liable for certain taxes, penalties and interest.
 
NOTE 5 - BORROWINGS
 
Related Party
 
Since July 2009, a member of the Control Group of the Company has made advances on behalf of the Company and purchased predecessor convertible debt totaling $305,430, as of November 30, 2009.  During the quarter ended February 28, 2010, $55,268 of convertible debt acquired by this related party, as part of the recapitalization and change in ownership, was converted into 5,900,000 shares of common stock for full satisfaction of the liability.  During the quarter ended February 28, 2010, the holder advanced the Company $88,199 in working capital for operations.  Cumulative advances as of February 28, 2010 were established in a convertible note totaling $338,362.  Such note is convertible into 4,229,512 common shares, based on $0.08 share price.  The convertible note bears interest at 6% per annum, and is due February 28, 2015.  During the quarter ended May 31, 2010, the holder advanced the Company an additional $75,383, for which an additional note agreement was effected.  Such note is convertible into 1,507,660 common shares based on a fixed conversion price of $0.05, interest at 6% per annum, due May 31, 2015. During the quarter ended August 31, 2010, the holder advanced the Company an additional $33,511, for which an additional note agreement was effected, which dictates that the note will be convertible into 837,775 common shares based on a fixed conversion price of $0.04, interest at 6% per annum, due August 31, 2015.

As consideration, the Company would pay the Writer $2,000 for the initial term, and $3,500 and $7,500 for each respective extended year chosen.  If the Company exercises this Option, the Writer would be paid a purchase price of between $40,000 and $100,000, depending on the final production budget for the motion picture.  Additionally, the Writer would be entitled to 5% of the net proceeds of the picture, and an additional 2.5% of net proceeds if the Writer received shared writing credit on the picture.

Sale of Common Stock
 
On November 30, 2009, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares to an individual pursuant to a subscription agreement at a price of $0.20 per share.  The cash was received on December 1, 2009.  The subscription agreement executed by the Company called for an adjustment (“Ratchet”) after six months based on the market price of the Company’s common stock.  If, on that date, the Company’s closing bid price for the immediately preceding trading day was less than $0.20 per share, then the Company was required to issue additional shares of its common stock to the purchaser to offset the purchaser’s total investment. Initially, since the number of shares under the ratchet provision was indeterminate and based on a fixed dollar amount to the market price at the end of six months, management recorded the common stock as a liability in the accompanying balance sheet at November 30, 2009. Upon the adjustment date of May 31, 2010, the additional amount of shares required to be issued were determinable and thus were reclassified from liability to equity as the adjustment provision expired.  Based on a closing common stock price of $0.05 on the next business day, the Company computed an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock a required to be issued to the individual.  The Company issued such shares on or about October 10, 2010.
 
NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
 
 In addition to his annual salary, the President and CEO’s Employment Agreement grants employee stock options to purchase common stock in an amount equal to 20,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.07 per share.  The options shall vest equally over a five-year period (4,000,000 shares per year), commencing on December 17, 2009.  Each series of options shall survive for 24 months following vesting, and may be exercised all or in part, and each series of options shall include a “cashless feature.” 
 
Using the Simplified Method under ASC 718, the expected term of these options would be approximately 6.5 years.  Expected volatility is a statistical measure of the amount by which a stock price is expected to fluctuate during a period.  In determining historical volatility, we used both the Company’s volatility as well as the volatility for other similar public companies. We believe due to the limited history in the Company’s stock, this was the best approach.  The selection of another methodology to calculate volatility or even a different weighting between implied volatility and historical volatility could materially impact the valuation of stock options and other equity based awards and the resulting amount of share-based compensation expense recorded in a reporting period. 
 
These options, granted in December 2009, have a fair market value of $1,200,000, as calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with inputs as defined below:

Under ASC 718, stock compensation expense of $1,200,000 will be recognized and expensed quarterly, beginning with the first quarter of the Company's 2010 fiscal year and equally over the five-year vesting period until the options are vested in their entirety in December 2014.  Through November 30, 2010, stock compensation of $228,667 of this had been recorded as expense.  Future compensation expense is $240,000, annually through 2014.  As of November 30, 2010, approximately 3,831,732 options are fully vested and are exercisable by the CEO.
 
NOTE 9 – FILM PRODUCTION COSTS
 
The Company capitalizes film production costs in accordance with Statement of Position ASC 926 – “Entertainment”, formerly ("SOP") 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films. Film costs include costs to develop and produce films, which primarily consist of salaries, equipment and overhead costs, as well as the cost to acquire rights to films. Film costs include amounts for completed films and films still in development.   The Company began capitalizing script costs on March 1, 2010.  Related expenses incurred during the year ended November 30, 2010, totaling $95,250, have been recorded to script costs in non-current assets.  
 
NOTE 10– MEDIA DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS - RELATED PARTIES
 
Slam I Am
 
On July 12, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with NY-based Screen Media Ventures, LLC, (“Screen Media”) in which the Company agreed to license to Screen Media the distribution rights to the motion picture currently entitled “Slam I Am” (aka “A Funny Dirty Stoner Movie") written by Kevin Sepe and Tom Alexander and produced by Kevin Sepe, the Control Group member that funded the Company’s working capital as discussed in Note 6. Current release date is February 2011. 
 
Under this ten year agreement, the Company and Screen Media will share net proceeds from Home Video (“HV”) and Video on Demand (“VOD”) sales on a 50/50 ratio.  Net proceeds is defined as gross proceeds less a five percent service fee to Screen Media and any third party distribution/marketing costs directly related to the distribution of the movie. 
 
For all distribution excluding HV and VOD, Screen Media shall earn a 25% distribution fee and shall be reimbursed for all legitimate distribution costs as defined by both parties. The balance of the proceeds is then distributed to Mass Hysteria, which in turn pays the producer and financier (the related party discussed in Note 5) these proceeds less an amount defined in a drafted agreement between the Company and the producer/financier. The agreement, executed on December 1, 2010, allows for the Company to be paid 10% of the first $600,000 in proceeds received from Screen Media, and 15% for any proceeds in excess of $600,000.  Additionally, the Company will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $10,000 in actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the distribution process.  
 
Carjacked
 
Carjacked Entertainment, LLC (the “LLC”) was formed to produce Carjacked, a feature film.  Mass Hysteria’s CEO is the managing member and holds an equity interest in the LLC through a company he controls, Grodfilm Corp. See Note 6 for guarantee agreement provided by Mass Hysteria in connection with an unrelated investor in the amount of $250,000.  Also see below.
 
The Company was assigned an agreement by Grodfilm Corp (owned by the Company’s CEO, Dan Grodnik) which entitled Mass Hysteria to $75,000 in revenue for its participation in the pre-production of the movie. Under this agreement, Mass Hysteria received $25,000 during pre-production of the movie, and is to receive an additional $50,000 upon close of production funding.  The first payment was received during November 2010. Close of production funding occurred on December 23, 2010.
 
NOTE 11 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
The Company’s decision to discontinue the operations of its handbag business coincided with the Control Change which occurred at the beginning of June 2009.  As a result, all financial data pertaining directly to the operations relative to the handbag business was collapsed with the net amount reported separately from the continuing operations.  This collapsing effect was used to restate the financials for all periods presented.  For the years ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, and the period from Inception to November, 2010, losses from discontinued operations were $0; $1,641,239; and $0, respectively.  
 
NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
 
We have identified our U.S. Federal tax returns as our “major” tax jurisdiction, and our corporate offices are located in California.  For year ending November 30, 2009, we filed a U.S. Federal tax return and U.S. State tax return. The Company has had losses to date, and therefore has paid no income taxes.
 
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes.  The Company elected to capitalize all start-up costs for income tax reporting purposes under Section 195 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company's deferred tax assets consist entirely of start-up costs.  Effective August 5, 2009 (Inception), prior net operating loss carry forwards are no longer available to the Company, due to the Company’s abandonment of the related handbag manufacturing business.
 
Aggregate start-up costs capitalized through November 30, 2010, are approximately $1.6 million; the deferred tax asset is approximately $300,000. The amount of benefits the Company may receive from the start-up costs for income tax purposes is further dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined.  Accordingly, management recorded a valuation allowance for 100% of the deferred tax assets of approximately $300,000.
 
 
25

 
 
The difference between the California statutory rate of approximately 8.83% and the actual provision rate is due to permanent difference required to arrive at taxable income. A full valuation allowance has been placed on 100% of the Company's deferred tax assets as it cannot be determined if the assets will be ultimately realized through future taxable income.  
 
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Carjacked
 
On December 23, 2010, production funding for Carjacked was complete, thus triggering the guarantor credit of $50,000 due Mass Hysteria. This credit was recorded as income during the first quarter of 2011.
 
Stock Issuance
 
On February 18, 2011, the Company’s Board approved the issuance of 420,000 shares of common stock to a professional services firm for legal services rendered.  Based on the closing market price that day, the Company recorded stock compensation of $12,900 related to this transaction.
 
Stock Incentive Plan
 
On February 16, 2011, our board of directors adopted the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The purpose of our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is to advance the best interests of the Company by providing those persons who have a substantial responsibility for our management and growth with additional incentive and by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, thereby encouraging them to maintain their relationships with us. Further, the availability and offering of stock options and common stock under the plan supports and increases our ability to attract and retain individuals of exceptional talent upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability which we depend. The total number of shares available for the grant of either stock options or compensation stock under the plan is 23,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment.
 
Capital Raise
 
During February 2011, the Company entered into two 8 percent convertible promissory notes to raise $55,000 in operating capital. Both notes mature on November 28, 2011, and any unpaid principal or interest at that date accrues interest at the default rate of 22 percent annually.  Each note may be converted into common stock, at 59 percent of market price with a floor of $0.001(par value), at any time after 180 days from the issuance date until the maturity date. These notes contain a “ratchet” provision, which protects the note holders in case the issuer sells stock during the term of the notes for a per-share price which is less than the effective conversion rate.  Due to this ratchet provision, and with the floor at par value, the Company could be potentially liable for in-excess of 52 million shares to be issued.  As a result, these notes are considered to contain a derivative instrument associated with the embedded conversion feature.
 
In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, formerly EITF 07-05, Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock, the Company calculated the fair market value of this conversion feature on the date of the note signing, using the Black Scholes Model, and reduced the note by this amount, recognizing expense immediately.  Using the Black Scholes pricing model variables listed below, the fair market value of the conversion feature on the date of note issuance was $45,388, leaving a notes payable balance of approximately $7,112 at the date of the note issuances. The Company will amortize the debt discount over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 On September 29, 2009, we dismissed Malone & Bailey, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors approved such termination on September 29, 2009 due to the change of control and business plan as described in more detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2009  Our Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change our independent registered public accounting firm. Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability for us to continue as a going concern which was included in our accountant’s report on the financial statements for the past two years, Malone & Bailey’s reports on our financial statements for the years ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.  For the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through Malone & Bailey’s termination on September 29, 2009, Malone & Bailey disclosed the uncertainty regarding the ability of Michael Lambert, Inc. to continue as a going concern in its accountant’s report on the financial statements. In connection with the audit and review of our financial statements through September 29, 2009, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with Malone & Bailey’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. In connection with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 and interim unaudited financial statements through September 29, 2009, there have been no reportable events with us as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On September 29, 2009, our Board appointed dbbmckennon, certified public accountants (“dbbm”) as the our new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to engage dbbm was approved by our Board of Directors on September 29, 2009. Prior to September 29, 2009, we did not consult with dbbm regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transactions, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, (3) written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (4) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement between usand its predecessor auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As of November 30, 2010, we are in the process of assessing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on our preliminary evaluation, we concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to the size of the deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as November 30, 2009 and communicated the matters to our management.  Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not affect the Company’s financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can affect the Company’s results and its financial statements for the future years.
 
 
27

 
 
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company: i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) Preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the future.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control:  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the Company’s  last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls:  The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its system of internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed or operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system of internal control are met. The design of the Company’s control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and that the benefits of such control system must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control failures and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
 
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the intentional acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that the design of any particular control will always succeed in achieving its objective under all potential future conditions.

Our sole executive officer and director and his age as of March 15, 2011 is as follows:
 
NAME
AGE
POSITION
     
Daniel Grodnik
59
Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary
 
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officers and directors for the past five years.
 
Daniel Grodnik

Mr. Grodnik has worked in the movie industry for almost thirty years.  He has served as the Chairman and CEO of the National Lampoon, a publicly traded entertainment company.  Currently, he is in prep on “Carjacked” starring Ron Perlman and Rose McGowan and “The Courier” an action film directed by Russell Mulcahy. Mr. Grodnik is in post-production on a romantic comedy entitled, “Overnight” and in development on 4 new theatrical films with two-time Academy Award winner for Best Picture, (“The Godfather” and “Million Dollar Baby”) Albert S. Ruddy. Mr. Grodnik’s recent films include his third original movie for the Sci-Fi Channel entitled “Yeti” which aired in November and received the second highest rating of the year for a Saturday night premiere. Also, in November 2008, Mr. Grodnik and Mr. Ruddy’s film, “Camille” starring Sienna Miller (“Factory Girl”) and James Franco (“Spiderman III”), began its theatrical release. In May of 2008, the Sci-Fi Channel aired, “Never Cry Werewolf” which was the third highest rated Sunday Night movie in the history of the channel. Additionally, Mr. Grodnik currently has a thriller in release entitled “Hallowed Ground”, written and directed by David Benullo (“Around the World in 80 Days”) and starring Jaime Alexander (“Rest Stop”) and a Danielle Steel adaptation for Newline entitled “Safe Harbour”, starring Melissa Gilbert.  Mr. Grodnik was nominated for a Golden Globe for best picture on his production of “Bobby”. The movie had an all-star cast including Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Helen Hunt, Lawrence Fishburne, Elijah Wood, Lindsay Lohan, William H. Macy, Nick Cannon, and Heather Graham.

In 2006, Mr. Grodnik went to Little Rock, Arkansas with actress Ashley Judd to produce a coming-of-age drama entitled, “Come Early Morning.” The movie had its’ North American premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

In 2003-2004 Mr. Grodnik partnered with Franchise Pictures founder Andrew Stevens to produce several action and sci-fi titles that included; “Pursued” for Lion’s Gate starring Christian Slater, “Blood Angels” starring Lorenzo Lamas for Screen Media and Universal Pictures, “Sea Ghost,” “Deep Evil,” “Glass Trap,” and “Blue Demon” for Blockbuster Entertainment.

Term of Office
 
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board
  
Information about our Board and its Committees.

We do not have either an audit committee, compensation committee, or a nominating committee.  It is the view of the board of directors that it is appropriate to not have any of these committees since they are not required to maintain a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, since it only has one director who would serve on any such committees in any event, and due to the additional and unnecessary costs associated with administering the committees.

We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. Our board of directors believes that, given the early stages of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.
 
 
29

 

A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request to our Company addressed to our Chief Executive Officer. We intend to hold annual meetings of stockholders during the summer season, at which meetings our directors will be up for re-election. We currently do not have a policy regarding the attendance of board members at the annual meeting of stockholders.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships between or among any of the current directors, executive officers or persons nominated or charged by the Company to become directors or executive officers.
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

 
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

 
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
 
 
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities or banking activities; or

 
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

Director Independence
 
           Our board of directors has determined that currently none of it members qualify as “independent” as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-B as promulgated by the SEC and in the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. - Marketplace Rule 4200. The chairman of the board is also an officer of the Company. The Company plans to appoint an outside director as chairman in the future.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers, and stockholders holding more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock.  Executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us for the period ended November 30, 2010, no Section 16(a) reports required to be filed by our executive officers, directors, and greater-than-10% stockholders were filed on a timely basis.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to the principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer.  We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our code of ethics.  Requests may be directed to our principal executive offices at 5555 Melrose Avenue, Swanson, Building, Suite 400, Hollywood, CA 90038.

Appointment of Auditors
 
Our Board of Directors has not yet selected independent accountants to audit our financial statements for the year ending November 30, 2011.  dbbmckennon audited our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2010 and 2009.

Audit Fees
                 
dbbmckennon  billed us $30,000 in fees for our 2010 annual and for the review of our quarterly financial statements in 2010.  dbbmckennon billed $24,000 in fees for our 2009 annual audit.

34

 

All audit, audit related, and tax services were pre-approved by our board of directors, which concluded that the provision of such services dbbmckennon was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.  Our pre-approval policies and procedures provide for the board of directors’ pre-approval of specifically described audit, audit-related, and tax services on an annual basis, but individual engagements anticipated to exceed pre-established thresholds must be separately approved.  The policies and procedures also require specific approval by our board of directors if total fees for audit-related and tax services would exceed total fees for audit services in any fiscal year.  The policies and procedures authorize the audit committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.
