NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
Note 1 - Organization
Debut Broadcasting Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) is located in Nashville, Tennessee and conducts business from its principal executive office at 1011 Cherry Avenue, Suite B, Nashville, TN 37203. The Company relocated to the current office location on March 31, 2010. The Company produces and distributes syndicated radio programs to radio stations across the United States and Canada. In addition, the Company owns six radio stations in Mississippi. The company operates two of these radio stations and operates one radio station in Virginia under a consulting agreement.
The Company maintains radio syndication in Nashville and produces and distributes 9 radio programs, which are broadcast over approximately 1,000 radio station affiliates. These radio programs have an estimated 30 million U.S. listeners per week. In addition to its syndication services, the Company owns and operates a multi-media studio with audio, video and on-line content production capabilities. This facility is located on Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company also provides marketing, consulting and media buying (advertising) for its radio broadcast station customers in the United States.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Interim Results
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiaries. The interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Accounts Receivable
We use the allowance method for determining the collectability of our accounts receivable. The allowance method recognizes bad debt expense following a review of the individual accounts outstanding in light of the surrounding facts. Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers’ ability to pay and economic trends. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet is stated net of our allowance for doubtful accounts.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company recognizes its advertising and programming revenues for syndicated programming when the Company’s radio shows air on its contracted radio station affiliates. Generally, the Company is paid by a national advertising agency, which sells the commercial time provided by the affiliate.
As the Company earns its revenue from the national advertising agency, it also recognizes any amounts due to the individual shows, which are based on the audience level generated by the specific program. Expenses are accrued at the time the shows are run.
Consulting projects are generally negotiated at a fixed price per project; however, if the Company utilizes its advertising capacity as part of the consulting project, it will charge the consulting client in the same manner as the affiliated stations described more fully above. Consulting fee income is recognized as time is incurred under the terms of the contract. The Company recognizes its advertising and programming revenues for its owned and operated radio broadcast stations when the advertising airs. Generally, the Company is paid by the local advertiser for advertising coordinated and contracted through a local employee sales representative or sales manager.

September 30, 2011
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Interim Results (continued)
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Total advertising costs of $0.00 and $2,681 are included in the financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Total advertising costs of $15,300 and $17,420 are including in the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
Financing
We will require additional capital to execute on our plan to grow through the acquisition of radio stations and radio station clusters. We do not presently have sufficient capital to make additional acquisitions. We intend to raise additional capital over the next twelve months through additional equity offerings.
Although we are and will be unable to predict the precise terms of any financing until the time that such financing is actually obtained, it is likely that any such financing will fit within the following parameters:
• None of the indebtedness to which the Properties would be subject will be recourse to the shareholders, although some or all of the indebtedness may be recourse to us. However, each obligation will be secured by a first lien and/or second lien security interest in the financed Property. It is probable that all of our Properties will be subject to substantial security interests.
• We expect any indebtedness will be first repaid with the operating revenues of the Properties. Operating revenues will first be applied to the payment of interest, principal amortization (if any), and principal on primary indebtedness. Next, operating revenues will be applied to interest on and principal of any subordinate financing.
• Each of these financing arrangements may be subject to acceleration in the event of default, including non-payment, insolvency, or the sale of a Property. Upon an acceleration, if we are unable to effect an immediate refinancing, we may lose one or more of our Properties by foreclosure.
While financing may initially be available only on a radio station by radio station basis, we may eventually seek to refinance all of our Properties in one non-recourse loan which will, in all likelihood, be secured by all of our Properties.
In connection with acquisitions, dispositions and financing, we will incur appropriate accounting and legal fees.

September 30, 2011
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Interim Results (continued)
Governmental Regulation of Radio Broadcasting
The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the Communications Act, the Telecom Act, and related FCC rules and policies (collectively, the "Communications Laws"). This description does not purport to be comprehensive, and reference should be made to the Communications Laws, public notices, and decisions issued by the FCC for further information concerning the nature and extent of federal regulation of radio broadcast stations. Failure to observe the provisions of the Communications Laws can result in the imposition of various sanctions, including monetary forfeitures and the grant of a "short-term" (less than the maximum term) license renewal. For particularly egregious violations, the FCC may deny a station's license renewal application, revoke a station's license, or deny applications in which an applicant seeks to acquire additional broadcast properties.
License Grant and Renewal. Radio broadcast licenses are granted and renewed for maximum terms of eight years. Licenses are renewed by filing an application with the FCC. Petitions to deny license renewal applications may be filed by interested parties, including members of the public.
Service Areas. The area served by AM stations is determined by a combination of frequency, transmitter power, antenna orientation, and soil conductivity. To determine the effective service area of an AM station, the station’s power, operating frequency, antenna patterns and its day/night operating modes are required. The area served by an FM station is determined by a combination of transmitter power and antenna height, with stations divided into classes according to these technical parameters.
Class C FM stations operate with the equivalent of 100 kilowatts of effective radiated power (“ERP”) at an antenna height of up to 1,968 feet above average terrain. They are the most powerful FM stations, providing service to a large area, typically covering one or more counties within a state. Class B FM stations operate with the equivalent of 50 kilowatts ERP at an antenna height of up to 492 feet above average terrain. Class B FM stations typically serve large metropolitan areas as well as their associated suburbs. Class A FM stations operate with the equivalent of 6 kilowatts ERP at an antenna height of up to 328 feet above average terrain, and generally serve smaller cities and towns or suburbs of larger cities.
The minimum and maximum facilities requirements for an FM station are determined by its class. FM class designations depend upon the geographic zone in which the transmitter of the FM station is located. In general, commercial FM stations are classified as follows, in order of increasing power and antenna height: Class A, B1, C3, B, C2, C1, C0, and C.
The following table sets forth the market, call letters, FCC license classification, antenna elevation above average terrain (for FM stations only), power and frequency of all of our owned and operated stations as of September 30, 2011

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Interim Results (continued)
Compliance with Environmental Laws
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.
Note 3 - Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies Debut Broadcasting will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of Debut Broadcasting as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of Debut Broadcasting to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of September 30, 2011, Debut Broadcasting has accumulated losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding Debut Broadcasting’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Debut Broadcasting be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - New Accounting Pronouncements
The company makes all reasonable efforts to comply with new accounting pronouncements, and believes to be in compliance with all current pronouncements as of September 30, 2011.
Note 5 - Loss Per Share
We present basic loss per share on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As provided by FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” (Formerly SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”) basic loss per share is calculated as income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

As a result of the foregoing revenue and expenses, our overall net loss for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was $411,204 and $98,536, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2011, our current assets in the amount of $1,262,704 consisted of ($33,065) in cash and cash equivalents, $280,786 in accounts receivable, $10,325 in prepaid expenses and $1,004,658 in unexercised stock warrants. As of September 30, 2011, our current liabilities in the amount of $2,913,365, consisted of $890,786 in accounts payable, $130,712 in accrued expenses and taxes, $361,032 in notes payable to stockholders, $478,763 in lines of credit and $4225 in current portion of long term debt, and $1,035,523 in unexercised stock warrant loss. This combination of assets and liabilities resulted in a working capital deficit in the amount of $1,650,661.
We will require additional capital to execute our plan to grow through the acquisition of radio stations and radio station clusters. We do not presently have sufficient capital to make additional acquisitions. We are in the process of divesting five radio stations that have consistently operated below expectations. We are currently negotiating a stock acquisition of a small syndication network, a stock purchase of a radio broadcast station, as well as a stock based acquisition of residual rights to a film media catalogue. Additionally, we are seeking financing to grow our revenue stream through acquisition of radio station clusters in the Southern and Midwest United States.
Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Our plan is to aggressively grow revenue in order to meet minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However we cannot provide any assurances that that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Recent Events
Pending Acquisitions
During the third quarter of 2011 we began negotiation of a stock based acquisition of residual rights to a media film catalogue. We anticipate finalizing this acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2011 or the first quarter of 2012.
During the third quarter of 2011 we negotiated the purchase of a radio broadcast station for 300,000 shares of common stock of the company.

Pending Dispositions
During the second quarter of 2011, we executed an agreement to sell the radio broadcast stations WNIX AM, WLTM FM, WIQQ FM, WNLA AM, and WNLA FM to Delta Radio LLC. This disposition is approved by the FCC and anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue and Cost Recognition
We recognize advertising and programming revenues when our radio programs air with our contracted radio station affiliates. Generally, we are paid by a national advertising agency, which sells the commercial time provided by the affiliate.
We earn revenue from the national advertising agency, we also recognize any amounts attributable to the individual radio programs, which are based on the audience level generated by the specific program. Expenses are accrued at the time the radio programs are run.
Consulting projects are generally negotiated at a fixed price per project; however, if we utilize our advertising capacity as part of the consulting project, we will charge the consulting client in the same manner as the affiliated stations described more fully above. Consulting fee income is recognized as time is incurred under the terms of the contract.
Advertising
We expense advertising costs as they are incurred.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company believes is it compliant with all new accounting pronouncements.

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. We will be unable to remediate these material weaknesses until we achieve a growth level sufficient to support financial and accounting staff to adequately segregate duties. We do not anticipate remediating this weakness in 2011.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of ss.240.13a -15 or ss.240.15d -15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
