SUMMARY
 
The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our stock.  You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “RISK FACTORS” and “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.”
 
As used in this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Liquid Spins,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Liquid Spins, Inc.
 
Our Company
 
Liquid Spins, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 20, 2009 under the name “Malemark, Inc.” to develop and market a line of greeting cards under the Malemark trademark and logo.  Our original line of greeting cards was geared primarily toward male consumers and was distributed via our website and in a small number of retail locations.  However, our business has evolved substantially since our inception in 2009, and accordingly, on April 26, 2011, we changed our name to “Liquid Spins, Inc.”  Commensurate with our name change and the change in the focus of our business, we ceased actively marketing our greeting cards, although we still offer such cards through our website.
 
While marketing our original greeting cards, we developed the concept of a “lyrical” greeting card, which incorporated lyrics from popular songs as part of the card message.  In conjunction with this concept, we utilized a quick response, or “QR,” code which enabled users to scan the code on their smart phones, preview the song and download it from our website.  These concepts then evolved into various prototype products, including greeting cards that distribute digital media (primarily music) via the Internet, and we began marketing these products and our technology under the “Liquid Spins” name.  However, as of the date of this prospectus, we remain a development stage company with very limited revenue to date.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the three months ended March 31, 2012, we have reported net losses of $1,837,201, $1,486,487, and $525,374, respectively.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and March 31, 2012, we reported accumulated deficits of $3,401,191, $1,563,990, and $3,926,565 respectively.
 
In the course of developing our business plan, we fostered relationships with certain national retailers and participants in the recording and music industry.  Our relationships in the recording industry, which include record executives and performers, allowed us the opportunity to negotiate for and acquire the non-exclusive rights to a significant catalog of digital music.  Our relationships with retailers allowed us to market this catalog of music in a myriad of forms.  The culmination of these events resulted in the genesis of our current business plan.
 
We currently operate an online music store under the name “Liquid Spins.”  Our proprietary digital music platform allows consumers to sample and download music on computers and certain mobile devices.  We currently have license agreements with six record labels providing a catalog of a wide range of music, and continue efforts to obtain additional licenses.  Our music store is marketed independently by us and through partnerships with certain participants in the music industry.  We also recently signed an agreement with a national distributor of prepaid and other stored-value products (gift cards) which we hope will create sales of our digital music through grocery, big box and other retail outlets.  We expect to roll out these gift cards beginning in the third quarter of 2012 to retailers such as Play n’ Trade, Fry’s Electronics, Variety Wholesale, Casey’s General Store and Kum & Go Convenience Stores.  Our business plan also contemplates eventually partnering with major retailers to private, or “white,” label our store with these retail partners.  We hope to reduce the time-to-market for our prospective retail partners while reducing the complexity and cost of digital asset management and distribution.  However, this latter concept is in the exploratory phase, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in developing formal agreements with any of our prospective retail partners.
 
Our office is currently located at 5525 Erindale Drive, Suite 200, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 and our telephone number is (800) 595-1641.  We maintain two websites at www.liquidspins.com and www.malemark.com.  None of the information contained on our websites is part of this prospectus.

Our Revenue Model
 
Under our existing business plan, we hope to generate revenue by selling music that we have licensed from record labels and collecting a wholesale licensing fee or royalty.  We are sometimes referred to as a music aggregator in this capacity.  We also hope to provide white label services to prospective retail partners, thus broadening our potential sources of revenue.  We offer the songs at prices ranging from $0.69 to $1.99 each, and albums from $4.49 to $24.99, consistent with other on-line music stores.  Our major selling expense is the licensing fee we must pay to the record labels as owners of the music.  For the period from inception to March 31, 2012, we reported total revenue of $42,531, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012, we reported revenue of $4,280, in each case primarily from sales of our paper greeting cards and printed material.   A negligible amount was from music downloads.
 
We currently have executed music distribution agreements with four major record labels and two small, independent labels which allow us to market in excess of two million songs.  We believe we have secured the same pricing structure and margins as large competitors such as Apple’s iTunes and Amazon.com.  These distribution agreements require that we pay a portion of the revenue generated from sale of the music to the record company, in some cases offset by prepaid royalties.  As of June 29, 2012, we have invested $625,000 in recoupable payments - MP3 music, other fees and expenses to acquire our initial catalog of music.  Beginning in July and for the remainder of 2012, we are required to pay minimum royalties to the record companies as a group in the amount of $25,000 per month.  In addition to the direct costs of acquiring our music inventory, we have spent significant sums developing the technology necessary to deliver this product.  Including general and administrative expenses, we have spent approximately $2,634,989 from the inception of our company to March 31, 2012, exclusive of prepaid royalties.
 
Recent Financings
 
In July 2011, we completed a private placement of our common stock, selling 650,000 shares at a price of $0.40 per share for gross proceeds of $260,000.  We have used a portion of that amount to pay advance royalties related to our music catalog and for other operating expenses.  Prior to that, we conducted a private placement which extended from September 2010 until April 2011 and consisted of the sale of 4,668,750 shares at a price of $0.40 per share for gross proceeds of $1,867,500.  The proceeds from that offering have been used for expenses such as acquiring an inventory of paper greeting cards, creating prototype products, advance royalties on music, salaries, development expenses associated with our website and travel.
 
In December 2011, we commenced an offering of up to 1,125,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the “Series A Preferred Stock,” at an offering price of $0.80 per share, or maximum proceeds of $1,000,000.    In June 2012, we offered an additional 1,875,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, also at a price of $0.80 per share.  The Series A Preferred Stock is being offered to qualified investors under exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws.  Proceeds from the offering have been or will be used by us to pay additional advance royalties and for working capital.  As of June 29, 2012, we have sold 1,025,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for proceeds of $795,000 and have accepted a subscription for an additional 156,250 shares payable not later than September 15, 2012.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operation could materially suffer.  In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment.  
 
Risks Relating to Our Company
 
    Since we are a new business with essentially no operating history, investors have no basis to evaluate our ability to operate profitability.  We were incorporated in June 2009 and have limited revenue from operations since our inception.  Our activities to date have been limited to organizational efforts, raising capital, researching and developing our business plan, identifying consultants, and establishing relationships with certain retailers and music industry participants.  We face all of the risks commonly encountered by other new businesses, including the lack of an established operating history or a recognized brand reputation, need for additional capital and personnel, and competition.  There is no assurance that our business will be successful or that we can ever operate profitably.
 
    Our independent accountant has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.  This doubt is based in part on the recognition that we are a development-stage company, have suffered operating losses since our inception, have generated very limited revenue since inception and and are dependent on raising capital from our shareholders or other sources to continue in business.  Our company has extremely limited capitalization and is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and receipt of additional financing to continue operations.  As of March 31, 2012, we had working capital of $197,652, a net worth of $460,435 and an accumulated deficit of $3,926,565.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2012, we realized net losses of $1,837,201, $1,486,487 and $525,374, respectively.  In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital and/or generate sufficient revenue from our operations, we may be forced to curtail our activities, liquidate our assets or cease operations altogether.  In any of those events, your investment in our company may decline.     
 
    We are dependent on achieving profitable operations and receipt of additional working capital to fund continued development and implementation of our business plan, and our failure to obtain this capital may cause the partial or total loss of your investment.   Continued development of our business plan will require significant additional working capital.  As of the date of this prospectus, we are seeking to raise up to $1,500,000 through the sale of preferred stock to pay additional operating and administrative expenses.  The continued acquisition of an adequate catalog of digital music, refinement of a platform to deliver that content and pursuit of the remainder of our business plan will require substantial additional capital from investors, and we have no established source of obtaining that financing.  We will also require additional capital to pay our administrative expenses, including salaries, rent, and website development until such time, if ever, that we achieve profitable operations.  Adverse developments in our business or general economic conditions may require us to raise additional financing at prices or on terms that are disadvantageous to existing shareholders.  We may not be able to obtain additional capital at all and may be forced to curtail or cease our operations.
 
    Because we are a relatively new company with very limited assets, we are likely not a candidate for traditional commercial borrowing or debt financing.  Commercial lenders generally require a proven source of cash flow and sufficient assets to secure the loan.  As a result of our status as a newly formed entity with very limited revenue, we do not satisfy either of these criteria.  If we are unable to access a credit line or other form of commercial credit, we may be unable to grow our business.  We may also be forced to finance any accounts receivable that we may generate to free up capital.  If we finance our accounts receivable, it may reduce our cash flow.  As a result, we may have less cash flow and our operations may suffer.
 
    We do not own the digital content that we offer to our customers, and there is no assurance that such content will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.  The digital music content that we offer is owned by independent third parties and provided to us under non-exclusive license arrangements.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have executed agreements with six record labels to obtain the rights to their portfolios of digital content.  However, our existing agreements with  EMI Music, Warner Music Inc., RED Distribution, LLC, Sony Music Entertainment Digital LLC, Universal Music Group and Curb Recording Group, Inc. are for a limited period of time, and we expect similar arrangements with other potential providers.  Each of the agreements provides for an initial term of one year and can only be renewed with the approval of both parties.  The agreements can be terminated at any time if we fail to honor our obligations, including calculation and payment of licensing fees, and the record companies can suspend or terminate our right to certain songs at any time.  Due to the potential expiration or termination of these agreements, there is no assurance that we will retain access to their content for more than a limited period of time.  Future agreements, if available, may require us to pay additional fees to obtain or retain access to the content.  Such additional fees may change our operating costs and erode our potential profit.  If we are unable to obtain and maintain access to this digital content, our business plan may be unsuccessful and the value of your investment may decline.
 
 
 
5
 
 

 
 
 
    Our marketing efforts are unproven and we have generated very limited revenue from operations.  Our plan of operation is predicated on appealing to a large number of customers, since our revenue and profit margin per-song are limited.  To that end, we have partnered with a distributor of stored-value (gift) cards in an effort to advertise our services and increase the traffic to our website.  We have also made arrangements with certain retailers to distribute “QR” codes that we hope will bring additional traffic to our website.  However, these marketing efforts are very limited and in their infancy and there is no assurance that they will be successful in increasing our revenue in any significant respect.
 
    Due to intense competition in the music download industry, we will not enjoy much flexibility in the prices we can charge for our music.  While we expect our business to operate on small profit margins, the large number of competitors in the industry limits the prices that we can charge for our products.  As between the same songs or albums, we believe that music is a fungible commodity and that consumers will not be willing to pay more for the same song or album.  For that reason, we are limited on how much we can raise prices in an effort to generate revenue for our company.  This fact may adversely affect our revenue and profitability, if any. 
    
    All of the music distribution agreements that we currently maintain with record companies that provide access to our catalogue of music require payment of continuing royalties on music that we sell, which royalties will affect our potential profitability and may be prohibitively expensive.   Under the terms of all of our distribution agreements, we are required to pay ongoing royalties on the music that we sell.  The royalties are generally calculated based on a 30/70 split, with the Company receiving 30% and the respective record label receiving 70%. The royalties are due and payable on a monthly basis.  Beginning in July and for the remainder of 2012, we are required to pay minimum royalties to the record companies as a group in the amount of $25,000 per month.  These royalties will reduce the revenue that we receive from customers and will reduce our profitability.  Since we have a very limited history of operations, there is no assurance that we will be profitable after payment of the royalty and other operating expenses.  Further, if we fail to pay the royalties in a timely manner, we are obligated to pay interest to the record companies in the amount of 18% on any past due amounts.  The payment of interest on any past due amounts would further reduce our potential profit.   
 
    If we are unsuccessful in managing our mobile music store service offerings, we may fail to meet expectations of our business plan and our results of operations could be harmed.  We believe that the future growth in digital music store services depends significantly upon the growth of the mobile market for digital content services, including music and later, video and other digital content.  We have significantly invested in creating a “mobile music platform” that allows smart phone users to decipher special codes to obtain our digital media content.  There are a number of technological and practical challenges that could impact the adoption rate of mobile platforms as an acceptable method of digital music purchase, including the rate of adoption of compatible mobile handsets, availability of high speed mobile data networks, adoption by consumers of mobile data plans, any pricing differential (both wholesale and retail) between content purchased over-the-air to a mobile device and purchased by other means, development of content and digital rights management standards and technologies acceptable to content licensors, and the impact on the economics of the mobile music business of certain issued patents.  Acceptance of our music store services is likely to also depend on significant growth in adoption of internet-capable portable music devices.  If we are unsuccessful in meeting the challenges and complexities of mobile music distribution or are unsuccessful in securing additional partners for our services, our results of operations could be harmed.
 
    Our failure to accurately calculate and pay royalties to the owners of digital content may result in our losing access to such content or the imposition of financial penalties.  The licensing agreements with our existing music providers require that we calculate and pay the royalties on an ongoing basis, and confirm the calculation of these royalties to the owners.  Those who own copyrights in musical works are vigilant in protecting their rights.  The record companies have the right to audit our records to insure that we comply with the record keeping and payment requirements of the agreements.  If we do not accurately calculate these royalties, the providers may terminate the agreement or impose financial penalties on our company.  An audit could result in a dispute with one or more of the record companies and such dispute could also result in a termination of one or more of the agreements.
 
    We may be liable for monetary damages to third parties for music, software, and other content that we encode, distribute, archive or distribute to our customers. We may be liable or alleged to be liable to third parties, such as the recorded music companies, music publishers, recording artists and trade unions, for the content that we distribute, archive or make available to our customers as samples, streams, downloads or otherwise:
 
·  
If the use of the content is not properly licensed by the content owners or their representatives;
·  
If our customers violate the intellectual property rights of others by providing content to unauthorized third parties;
·  
If the manner of delivery of content is alleged to violate terms of use of third party delivery systems, such as peer-to-peer networks; or
·  
If content that we handle is deemed obscene, indecent, or defamatory.
 
    Any alleged damage could harm our business by damaging our reputation, requiring us to incur legal costs in defense, exposing us to awards of damages and costs and diverting management’s attention.

    The requirement to protect access to digital content and to protect against any resulting breaches of security may require the expenditure of significant amounts of money or the development of additional technology.  Online and mobile commerce and communications depend on the ability to transmit confidential information and licensed intellectual property securely over private and public networks.  Any compromise of our ability to transmit such information and data securely or reliably, and any costs associated with preventing or eliminating such problems, could harm our business.  Online transmissions are subject to a number of security and stability risks, including:
 
·  
our encryption and authentication technology, and access and security procedures, may be compromised, breached or otherwise insufficient to insure the security of customer information or our music content;
·  
we could experience unauthorized access, computer viruses, system interference or destruction and other disruptive problems, whether intentional or accidental, that may inhibit or prevent access to our website or the use of our services;
·  
someone could circumvent our security measures and misappropriate our intellectual property, interrupt our operations, or jeopardize our licensing arrangements, which are contingent on our sustaining appropriate security protections;
·  
our computer system could fail and lead to service interruptions; or
·  
our network may be affected by a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other catastrophic events.
 
The occurrence of any of these or similar events could damage our business, adversely affect our ability to distribute products and collect revenue, threaten the intellectual property of our vendors and expose us to litigation or liability.  We may be required to expend significant capital or other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches, hacker attacks or system malfunction in order to alleviate problems caused by such breaches, attacks or failures.  In addition, one or more of our music distribution agreements requires that we acquire and maintain Internet media liability, network security liability or other suitable insurance with significant limits to cover errors and omissions in connection with our technology that may lead to breaches of security or other similar losses to the distributors.  There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire or maintain such insurance or, if so, on terms which are commercially reasonable.  We are also required to indemnify the record company from liability arising from breaches in security of our technology.  The cost of the insurance and any losses that we are required to pay would also affect our result of operation and financial condition.
 
    Our management and consultants have no experience in operating an on-line music store, and accordingly, our business may suffer.  Only one of our officers has extensive experience in the music industry, and none of our employees have managed, operated or been employed by businesses that distribute digital media.  They therefore have limited experience obtaining the rights to digital catalogs of songs and otherwise building a platform for distribution.  Our management will be forced to learn the industry, including the strategies for securing rights to the digital media content and formulating a strategy for distribution to consumers.  For these reasons, our business may not be successful.  We have hired several personnel who have experience in the music recording industry and website design; however, there is no assurance that our business plan will be successful.
 
    The reluctance of consumers to utilize our service due to security concerns may limit our revenue.  We contract with a third party merchant credit card vendor to facilitate the purchase functionality in our website and facilitate payment from customers.  This service, similar to other merchant credit card services, is subject to breaches of security from, among other sources, hackers and technological problems.  Customer concerns regarding possible identity theft as a result of breaches in security may limit consumer confidence in using our service.  This reluctance, in turn, may limit the revenue which we might otherwise expect from music downloads.  In addition to the potential effect on our revenue, any breach of security may expose us to liability and adversely affect our financial condition.
 
    Our business is substantially dependent on our chief executive officer and the loss of his service would adversely affect our business.  Herman DeBoard, III is our Chief Executive Officer and is primarily responsible for overseeing our business, developing our business plan and creating the strategic vision of our company.  He is critical to the perceived success of our business.  The loss of service of Mr. DeBoard would adversely affect our business.  If he were to leave our business for any reason, there is no assurance we would be able to replace him, or if so, on terms that were acceptable to our company.  We have no key man life insurance on Mr. DeBoard.

    We face intense competition in the digital media distribution industry from several key players and have limited financial resources and personnel with which to compete.  There are numerous nationally and internationally-known companies which are firmly established as distributors of digital media content, including Apple’s iTunes store and Amazon.com.  Industry source Recording Industry Association of America (“RIAA”) estimates that there are over 400 entities offering music download services.  These competitors include both established companies and new entrants with different market approaches, such as subscription service models.  Some of these companies have established brands and may be affiliated with products.  We are an insignificant participant in the digital media distribution industry due to our brief operating history and limited financial and personnel resources.  We may be unable to attract the necessary investment capital to fully develop our digital media distribution platform and expand our retail offerings.
 
    We will be required to evaluate our internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the future and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will likely be required to furnish a report by our management on internal controls for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.  Such a report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by our management.  We are still constructing the system, processing documentation and performing the evaluations needed to comply with Section 404, which is both costly and challenging.  We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. If we are unable to assert that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, or if we disclose significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
 
    We are an “emerging growth company” and as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.  As an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain additional exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to the following:
 
·  
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and
·  
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and from holding a vote for stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
 
We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock if such a market develops, and our stock price may be more volatile.
 
        We are not required to obtain an opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 until we are no longer an emerging growth company.  For so long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to obtain the auditor attestation of our assessment of our internal controls. Once we are no longer an emerging growth company or, if prior to such date, we opt to no longer take advantage of the applicable exemption, we will be required to include an opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (2) the last day of the fiscal year during which occurs the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (3) the date on which we have, during the  previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt, or (4) the date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Once we are no longer an emerging growth company, compliance with Section 404(b) will be costly.
 
    Our financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act.  This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.  As a result of this election, if the PCAOB adopts new or revised accounting standards and we decide to delay adoption of such changes, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. 
 
    Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders must rely on our Board of Directors to perform the functions typically delegated to these committees, and certain members of our Board are not independent.  We do not presently maintain an audit or compensation committee. These functions are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole.  Since two of our current Board members are also part of our management team, there is a potential conflict where these individuals participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.  This lack of independence may adversely affect our corporate governance and the operation of our business.

    Colorado law and our Articles of Incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits at the expense of the shareholders.  The laws of the State of Colorado provide that directors of a corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for all but limited types of conduct.  Our Articles of Incorporation permit us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law.  The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing shareholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances.
 
Risks Related to the Offering and Our Common Stock
 
    The initial price of our common stock in this offering has been arbitrarily determined and bears no necessary relationship to our lack of earnings, the book value of our common stock or any other traditional criteria of value.  The initial offering price of our common stock has been determined by negotiations between representatives of our management and certain selling shareholders and is based in part on the recent sales price of our common stock.  However, since no underwriter has been involved in the offering of our common stock in the past and no underwriter is involved in this offering, the price has not been negotiated at arm’s length as might otherwise be the case.  Purchasers of our common stock in this offering have no assurance that they will be able to sell the common stock for a profit, or at all.
 
    Since no broker or dealer has committed to create or maintain a market in our stock, there is no assurance that our stock will be quoted in the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Markets, and purchasers of our common stock may have difficulty selling their shares, should they desire to do so.  It is our intention to seek one or more broker-dealers to apply for quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Markets following the date of this prospectus. However, we have no agreement with any broker-dealer at this time, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in finding one in the future. In addition, we believe that our stock will be characterized as a “micro-cap” security and therefore subject to increased scrutiny by FINRA.  A micro-cap security is generally a low priced security issued by a small company, or the stock of a company with low capitalization. If we are unable to obtain quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Markets, trading in our stock will be limited, and purchasers of our common stock may have difficulty selling their shares, should they desire to do so.
 
    Even if a trading market for our common stock develops, since we do not have an underwriter for our stock, there may be inadequate support for our stock in the after-market and you may not be able to sell your stock for a profit.  We have not retained an underwriter to sell our common stock, as is customary with many companies “going public” for the first time.  An underwriter, in addition to marketing the stock in connection with the public offering, generally provides after-market support for the stock following the offering.  That after-market support may help to stabilize the price of the stock at a price different than might otherwise result in the absence of that support.  Since we have not retained an underwriter, the price of our stock may not remain at the level that is established when the trading market begins.  As a result, investors in our stock may have difficulty selling their stock at a profit or at all.
 
    Our stock price may be volatile and as a result you could lose all or part of your investment. In addition to volatility associated with over-the-counter securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock:
 
 
failure to successfully implement our business plan;
 
failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget;
 
decline in demand for our common stock;
 
sales of additional amounts of common stock;
 
downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions;
 
technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies;
 
investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and
 
general economic trends.
 
In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to resell their shares at a fair price.
 
    Purchasers of our Series A Preferred Stock will have  preference over holders of our common stock in payment of dividends and distributions upon liquidation of our Company.   We have authorized a series of preferred stock consisting of 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid dividends in an amount equal to 12% per annum, or $0.096 per share, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.   No dividends may be paid on the common stock or any series of preferred stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock unless and until the preferential dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock is paid in full.  Purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to a preference in payment on distribution in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company in the amount of $0.80 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.  The preferential rights of the purchasers of any Series A Preferred Stock will operate to the disadvantage of holders of our common stock.

      A small number of existing shareholders own a significant amount of our common stock, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of any shareholder vote . Our executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 49% of our common stock as of the date of this prospectus. Under our Articles of Incorporation and Colorado law, the vote of a majority of the shares outstanding is generally required to approve most shareholder action.  As a result, these individuals will be able to control the outcome of shareholder votes for the foreseeable future, including votes concerning the election of directors, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation or proposed mergers or other significant corporate transactions. We have no existing agreements or plans for mergers or other corporate transactions that would require a shareholder vote at this time. However, shareholders should be aware that they may have limited ability to influence the outcome of any vote in the future. (SeeSECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT”).
 
    The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.  It is likely that market sales of large amounts of common stock (or the potential for those sales even if they do not actually occur) could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, if a trading market is ever established, which may make it difficult to sell our common stock in the future at a time and price which we deem reasonable or appropriate and may also cause you to lose all or a part of your investment. (SeeSHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE”).
 
    Since our common stock is not presently listed on a national securities exchange, trading in our shares will likely be subject to rules governing “penny stocks,” which will impair trading activity in our shares.  Our common stock may be subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Those disclosure rules applicable to penny stocks require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document required by the SEC.  These rules also require a cooling off period before the transaction can be finalized.  These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market for our common stock.  Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares. (SeeMARKET INFORMATION”).
 
    Issuance of our stock in the future could dilute existing shareholders and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, if a public trading market develops.  We have the authority to issue up to 55,000,000 shares of stock, including 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our stock without shareholder approval.  Because our common stock is not currently listed on an exchange, we are not required to solicit shareholder approval prior to issuing large blocks of our stock.  These future issuances could be at values substantially below the price paid for our common stock by investors in this offering.  In addition, we could issue large blocks of our stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further shareholder approval.  Because there is presently no trading market for our common stock, the issuance of our stock may have a disproportionately large impact on its price compared to larger companies.
 
    We have never paid dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. We have not paid dividends on our common stock to date, and we may not be in a position to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ability to successfully develop our business plan and generate revenue from operations. Further, our initial earnings, if any, will likely be retained to finance our operations. Any future dividends will depend upon our earnings, our then-existing financial requirements and other factors, and will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors. (SeeMARKET INFORMATION”).
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
    This prospectus contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements include statements about our future business plans and strategies, statements about future revenue, profit and the receipt of working capital, and most other statements that are not historical in nature.  In this prospectus, forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” and the like. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Prospective investors are urged not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
    A few of the uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements, besides the specific Risk Factors identified above, include:
 
      •
Changes in the general economy affecting the disposable income of the public;
      •
Technological changes in the entertainment industry;
      •
Our costs;
      •
The level of demand for our products; and
      •
Changes in our business strategy.
 
    The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provides a “safe harbor” for similar statements by existing public companies, does not apply to our offering, as we have not been previously registered with the SEC.

BUSINESS
 
Our History
 
    Liquid Spins, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 20, 2009 under the name “Malemark, Inc.” to develop and market a line of greeting cards under the Malemark trademark and logo.  Our original line of greeting cards was geared primarily toward male consumers and was distributed via our website and in a small number of retail locations.  The thrust of the Malemark brand was ‘For Men Who Make Mistakes.’  We created more than 1,100 unique cards divided among nine character lines.  We designed 14 unique greeting card displays that we offered for sale to retailers.  We also own multiple domain names including “malemark.com” and have paid for the development, implementation, testing and marketing of multiple aspects of a large website capable of supporting online sales of our greeting cards.
 
    In the course of our initial development, we were able to secure vendor agreements for our cards with:
 
·  
Fry’s Electronics.  Fry’s has 34 locations nationwide and a customer base that is 83% male.  Stores average approximately 2,000 customers per day (68,000 total daily foot traffic).
 
·  
Various flower and gift shops and golf courses.
 
    Our vendor agreement with Fry’s was terminated effective August 12, 2011.
 
    In addition, we applied for and were awarded an official license by the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC).  Colorado State University Bookstore has sold three lines of our cards in its bookstore to students and visitors.  
 
    While marketing our original greeting cards, we developed the concept of a “lyrical” greeting card, which incorporated lyrics from popular songs as part of the card message.  In conjunction with this concept, we utilized a quick response, or “QR,” code which enabled recipients to scan the code with their smart phones, preview the song and download it from our website.  These concepts then evolved into various prototype products, including greeting cards that distribute digital media (primarily music) via the Internet, and we began marketing these products and our technology under the “Liquid Spins” name.
 
    In the course of developing our business plan, we fostered relationships with certain national retailers and participants in the recording and music industry.  Our relationships in the recording industry, which include record executives and performers, allowed us the opportunity to negotiate for and acquire the non-exclusive rights to a significant catalog of digital music.  Our relationships with retailers allowed us to market this catalog of music, originally as part of our lyrical cards and later in a myriad of forms.  In conjunction with the new focus of our business plan, we changed our name to “Liquid Spins, Inc.” on April 26, 2011.   Also in conjunction with the new focus of our business plan, we essentially ceased active marketing of our paper greeting cards but continue to offer such products on our website.  As of the date of this prospectus, revenue from the sale of our paper greeting cards was extremely limited.
 
     Since our inception, we have obtained all the capital used in our development from the sale of equity securities.  In July 2011, we completed a private placement of our common stock, selling 650,000 shares at a price of $0.40 per share for gross proceeds of $260,000.  We have used those proceeds to pay advance royalties related to our music catalog and other operating expenses.  Prior to that, we completed a private placement which extended from September 2010 to April 2011 and consisted of 4,668,750 shares at a price of $0.40 per share for gross proceeds of $1,867,500.  The proceeds from that offering have been used for expenses such as acquiring an inventory of paper greeting cards, creating prototype products, advance royalties on music, salaries, development expenses associated with our website and travel.  In December 2011, we commenced an offering of up to 1,125,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock, at an offering price of $0.80 per share.  In June 2012, we offered an additional 1,875,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  As of June 29, 2012, we have sold 1,025,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and accepted a subscription for an additional 156,250 shares, the proceeds of which have been or will be used to pay additional advance royalties to music companies and for working capital.
 
Our Digital Music Store
 
    We currently operate an online music store under the name “Liquid Spins.”  Our proprietary digital music platform allows consumers to sample and download music on computers and certain mobile devices.  We currently have license agreements with six record labels providing a catalog of a wide range of music, and continue efforts to obtain additional licenses.  Our music store is marketed independently by us and through partnerships with certain participants in the music industry and other retailers.  Our business plan contemplates eventually partnering with major retailers to private, or “white,” label our store with these retail partners.  We hope to reduce the time-to-market for our prospective retail partners while reducing the complexity and cost of digital asset management and distribution.  However, this latter concept is in the exploratory phase, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in developing formal agreements with any of our prospective retail partners.
 
    The use of the Internet and wireless networks as mediums for media distribution has continued to evolve and grow in recent years.  Traditional media and entertainment companies, such as major record labels, have in recent years faced significant challenges associated with digital distribution of music.  Such challenges have eroded revenues from traditional sources of music, such as CDs.  To replace that lost revenue, record companies now license the rights to some of their content for certain forms of digital distribution over the Internet and wireless networks.  Consumers enjoy this content by means of many different types of service and offerings, including purchased downloads, paid subscriptions, prepaid credit offerings and streaming radio.  Consumers acquire and consume content using personal computers, mobile devices and other digital devices.
 
11
 
 
    Our primary emphasis at present is developing a platform that can be used as a means to distribute digital media content to consumers and acquiring an adequate inventory of music to offer consumers.  We have completed the initial development of the platform using digital music files in MP3 format and hope to expand our offerings to include digital video in the future.  The digital music file can be played on any device capable of playing an MP3 file.
 
    We have constructed the Liquid Spins website and platform to enable consumers to sample and purchase digital music content.  The website is maintained in the cloud on server space leased from Amazon Web Services.  In order to offer the digital music content on the website, we have licensed the content from various record labels and are required to pay a continuing royalty to the record label each time a consumer purchases a digital song through our website.  The continuing royalty consists of a percentage of the retail sales price of the song.  We contract with a third party merchant credit card vendor to power the purchase functionality on the website and pay over the revenue generated from sales of downloads of the digital music files.  We continue to invest in our platform.
 
    In conjunction with our website and platform, we have developed several products using technology known as a “quick response code” or “QR code,” which is two-dimensional bar code.  Similar to a traditional bar code, one must use a “reader” to translate the QR code.  Companies across all industries are using QR codes as part of their marketing and communication strategies.  Various smart phone applications contain software that enables the smart phone to scan the code using its camera feature and decipher the QR code, and these applications are currently the primary method of decoding the QR codes.  Once deciphered, the QR code often contains a URL link to a particular website or other information such as contact information or a map location.  Smart phones will typically display the website or other information from the QR code, depending on the smart phone’s capability.
 
    The Liquid Spins prototype products have utilized the QR code to provide a URL link to our website where the digital media file can be accessed.  We refer to the URL link to our website embedded in the QR code as a Liquidclix™.  Once a consumer activates the Liquidclix™ by using his or her smart phone application to decipher the QR code and link to the website, the consumer is able to listen for free to a sample of a particular song or purchase a download of the digital file containing the entire song.
 
    We have licensed our QR technology to record labels in an effort to increase distribution of our music products.  In turn, these record labels utilized the QR code in marketing initiatives, such as concert programs, sponsorships, fan clubs, artist websites, merchandising and touring promotions in an effort to increase interest in their content.  These codes allow recipients to immediately access our website and download samples or complete songs offered by these record companies.  While these licensing arrangements do not produce revenue directly to us, they are designed to indirectly increase revenue by driving additional traffic to our website, the results of which we expect to manifest in the future.
 
    We have also partnered with certain retailers to distribute the QR codes in conjunction with products or services offered by those retailers.  Examples include Floyd’s 99 Barber Shop and Cherryberry Frozen Yogurt Bars, a seller of frozen yogurt and related products.  These retailers include a QR code on certain of their products or novelties which affords the recipient the ability to access our website and view our music offerings.  These and similar initiatives are in their infancy and the results have thus far been inconclusive.  However, we intend to aggressively market our service using this and other techniques in an effort to substantially increase traffic to our site.
 
Our Music Catalog
 
    Our existing music catalog includes a vast array of music, the digital rights to which are owned by six record labels, EMI Music, Warner Music Inc., Sony Music Entertainment Digital LLC and Universal Music Group , RED Distribution, LLC and Curb Recording Group, Inc.  We have the right to distribute this music digitally, either directly or through approved partners.  The catalog includes music from diverse musical genres such as rock, pop, country, religious, rap and blues.  Noted artists include Frank Sinatra, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, John Lennon/Paul McCartney, Madonna, Van Halen, Prince, Led Zeppelin, Ray Charles, the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac.  The catalog currently consists of approximately two million songs.

    We are pursuing additional distribution agreements with other companies in an effort to expand our digital content.
 
Our Agreement with Tim Rushlow
 
    In an effort to increase our visibility and provide additional revenue, we have entered into two agreements with singer, composer and performing artist Timothy Rushlow.  Mr. Rushlow is a recording artist in Nashville and the former lead singer for the band Little Texas.  That band sold in excess of 11 million records during its existence, which ceased in 1998.  Mr. Rushlow continues to enjoy a successful solo career.
 
    On December 1, 2010, we executed a recording agreement with Mr. Rushlow pursuant to which he agreed to provide a minimum of five master recordings to us.  The initial five masters have been completed as of March 11, 2011.  We have agreed to pay the recording costs for each master that he provides under the terms of the agreement.  Pursuant to that arrangement, we have advanced to Mr. Rushlow the sum of $30,000 as an advance toward the costs of the initial five masters. This advance of $15,000 was paid on December 9, 2010 and the remainder on March 21, 2011. We do not expect additional costs associated with the production of these five masters.  In exchange, Mr. Rushlow is obligated to provide us with substantiating invoices, receipts, vouchers and similar satisfactory evidence of such recording costs and account to us for any difference.  We are entitled to recoup the advance from the proceeds of any revenue under the recording agreement.  Also under the terms of the agreement, we have the exclusive right to negotiate with him to enter into a longer-term recording contract for additional songs.  In the event that we exercise that option, we are obligated to negotiate the material terms and conditions of the arrangement in good faith.  The contract was amended on March 1, 2012 and extended on a month-to-month basis.  We anticipate the masters may be recorded and sold in the form of an extended play.  This music is within the Contemporary Christian Music (“CCM”) genre and has cross-over Adult Contemporary (“AC”) potential.
 
    Under the terms of the recording agreement, Liquid Spins owns all of the masters, the performances embodied therein and the worldwide copyright in perpetuity.  Such agreement provides us with the exclusive right of a copyright owner, including without limitation, the right to reproduce in copies and embody the masters in phonograph records, including promotional compact disc and compilations.  However, we must obtain the consent of Mr. Rushlow to commercially exploit the masters, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
    We intend to offer the music embodied in such masters on our website as part of our digital music catalog.
 
      On March 1, 2011, we executed an exclusive songwriting agreement with Mr. Rushlow.  Pursuant to the terms of that agreement, Mr. Rushlow assigned to us his entire publisher’s interest in all musical compositions and related works and materials written, composed, arranged, adapted or acquired in whole or in part by Mr. Rushlow, together with all copyrights therein and all renewals or extensions thereof throughout the world.  Mr. Rushlow also agreed to render his service exclusively to us as an author, composer, arranger and adapter of musical compositions during the period of the agreement.  During each month of the term of the agreement, Mr. Rushlow agreed to compose and deliver to us not less than one new and original musical composition of marketable commercial quality.  The initial term of the songwriting agreement was 12 months, and has been renewed on a month-to-month basis.
 
    We intend to review and, where appropriate, market any compositions as part of our music catalog. We are obligated to use reasonable efforts to commercially exploit the compositions in accordance with our customary practice. In exchange, we have agreed to advance to Mr. Rushlow the sum of $2,000 per month and to pay Mr. Rushlow 50% of any gross receipts generated by sale of the music after we recoup any advances.  
 
Our Potential Retail Partners
 
    During discussions with various retailers regarding the distribution of our Liquid Spins products, we determined there was a market opportunity to provide companies with a platform to create a music store.  Using the Liquid Spins website as the underlying platform that already has the capability of hosting digital content and offering it for sale to customers provides us with an opportunity to partner with various companies to offer the content through a website co-branded with a company that has more name recognition than us.  This could significantly increase the distribution of our music and our revenue.
 
13
 
 

 
 
    In an effort to attract these retail partners, we may build additional websites to the specification of the customer that includes the customer’s name and branding which are “powered by” Liquid Spins.  An example of this is creating an online music store for a large national retailer that does not currently offer its customers the ability to purchase digital media content on the Internet.  The retailer would determine which digital media content would be offered on its website and we would license to the retailer the QR codes that contain the link to the location of the file on the website.  The retailer could then replicate the QR code on its own products and communications with its customers.  The retailer would receive a percentage of the revenue generated from the purchase of a download of the digital music file.
 
    We hope to provide our customers with a highly scaleable consumer-facing digital music commerce and delivery solution that includes:
 
·  
Hosting and managing digital music content and delivering such content to end users on behalf of those customers;
 
·  
Support for private label user interfaces that have the look, feel and branding of the customer’s existing commerce platform;
 
·  
Delivery across both Internet and mobile delivery protocols, and in various forms, such as sampling and full-song download;
 
·  
Integration to a customer’s website and mobile application, inventory and account management;
 
·  
Integrated payment functionality supporting multiple end consumer payment alternatives; and
 
·  
Digital rights management and licensing, usage reporting, royalty settlement, customer support and publishing related services.
 
    All of our significant licensing agreements require the content owner to pre-approve each of our potential customers in advance of launching that service.
 
    We believe that our ability to provide “white label” platforms for other companies to use their own brand recognition while offering digital media content for sale to their customers has significant potential for growth because it can decrease time to market while reducing the complexity and cost of digital asset management and distribution.  In addition, due to the unique properties of a smart phone to decipher the QR code and almost instantaneously link the user to the website where he or she can sample and purchase a download of the digital media file, there is potential to create a customer out of every smart phone user, irrespective of the venue the user is in, so long as the user has internet access on the smart phone.   Since our products would represent a supplement to the products offered by the retailers and not compete for similar sales, we do not believe that retailers will be resistant to our plan.
 
    This white label model also provides us the opportunity to offer our digital media platform to a wide variety of prospects that are not limited to traditional retail organizations.  We believe that there is the potential to partner with restaurants, clothing brands, sports teams, tourist attractions and any other type of organization that is interested in offering digital media to its customers or visitors.  By partnering with one or more of these retail organizations and having access to their customers, we could increase the visibility of our site and our service far beyond what we might accomplish with our own marketing efforts.
 
    As of the date of this prospectus, we have not entered into any agreement with a retailer for a white label arrangement.
 
Marketing and Advertising
 
    Our existing marketing efforts consist of distributing our proprietary QR codes to consumers to drive traffic to our website, social networking and what might be characterized as grassroots marketing.  We have also recently partnered with a distributor of stored-value cards in an effort to increase the visibility of our site.
 
    Our current efforts include an arrangement with a record company under which we offer our QR code in connection with concert promotions and musical events.  Through these efforts, we believe that the record company is promoting the artists that it represents and driving traffic to our website, thus potentially increasing their revenue and ours through downloads of digital music.  We hope to increase such efforts in the future, as the costs are relatively insignificant compared to what we believe to be the potential revenue.  We are also active on Facebook and other social networking sites and utilize school ambassadors to appeal to younger users.  We use Facebook and other social networking sites to promote music which we are contractually obligated to distribute to our “Friends” in an effort to convince people to visit our website and download music.  We make promotional products available to students for promotional purposes, also in an effort to encourage people to visit our website.

      We also recently executed a distribution agreement with InComm, a company marketing and distributing prepaid gift cards and other stored value products.  Under the terms of that agreement, we granted the exclusive rights to promote, market, distribute and sell our products at retail locations throughout the United States.  These products consist of prepaid gift cards redeemable for digital music from our website and any other products which we may develop in the future which utilize a PIN-based or card-based program.  The Company hopes to place its first gift cards through InComm with Play n’ Trade in the second quarter of 2012, giving us visibility in 144 locations throughout the United States.  During the remainder of 2012, we hope to extend the reach of these efforts to include retailers such as Fry’s Electronics, Variety Wholesalers, Casey’s General Stores, Huck’s Convenience Stores, Kum & Go Convenience Stores and the Travel Centers of America.   
 
    The Company has begun to market its gift cards on the Internet in an effort to drive sales and increase exposure to the Company’s primary website (www.liquidspins.com). On April 23, 2012, the Company entered into a consignment sales pilot program agreement with GiftCards.com, LLC to distribute gift cards through their online store. The Company also has begun to market its gift cards at: https://giftcards.liquidspins.com/ and http://promotionmp3.com/.  While InComm has assisted with the functionality of these gift cards, this marketing is being conducted directly by the Company.
 
    We also recently executed a Channel Partner Agreement with an unaffiliated company pursuant to which the partner will act as our exclusive agent in an effort to distribute our music services through certain social media or technology entities, including web portals, e-tailers and social media sites (“Channels”).  Through this agreement, we hope to engage the Channels to generate end user traffic to our platform and ultimately, increase revenue.  Any revenue resulting from this arrangement will be split equally with the partner.  The agreement is exclusive with the partner for a period of 240 days, after which it will become non-exclusive unless the partner has made reasonable progress toward an agreement with a Channel.  Since this agreement was only recently consummated, we are unable to predict what effect, if any, it will have on our revenue.
 
Operations and Technology
 
    Liquid Spins is a digital service provider which sells music through www.LiquidSpins.com and through “The Liquid Spins Mobile Network” which uses a unique QR code placed in strategic high traffic public locations. We call this feature “Liquid Clix™.” Customers access our store using smart phone bar code scanners or through our website. They purchase music through the mobile network and then manage and download their music through the web-based interface. We report to Soundscan and use Authorize.net to manage payments.
 
      Our mobile network was officially launched on or about December 1, 2011 and is continually undergoing evaluation and upgrades.  The Company has also been developing an application (“App”) for sale through the Mac App Store in an effort to enhance the user experience for potential customers using Mac products. The App has been sent to Apple for evaluation and testing and returned to us for further refinement.  We expect to have the App finally approved in the third quarter of 2012. 
 
    The Liquid Spins website is set up similar to a traditional Pay-Per-Download digital media server with the exception of our “Spin Code” feature, which allows users to purchase various approved retail products for music. Every user has a registered profile where they can manage their purchases.
 
    Our online store, in its basic form, is a Pay-Per-Download site. It is organized by ARTIST – ALBUM – SONG respectively.
 
    One unique aspect of our online store is “My Music” Player. This player allows the user to build a playlist of 30 second samples in real-time that they can listen to while browsing the site. If they like the playlist they have built, they can use our one-click technology to “Purchase My Music”. This player also allows the user to build a playlist and send it to their friends creating a viral music experience.
 
   In order to protect the integrity of their products, record labels and artists require that digital providers such as our company maintain adequate security to discourage and defeat unauthorized downloading and sharing of the music.  One such form of security is referred to as digital rights management (“DRM”).  Our content is DRM-free.  Rather, we utilize a unique code, known as the unique identifier transfer code (“UITC”), assigned to each song downloaded from our website.  The assignment of a unique code to each song helps insure that unauthorized copying or distribution is limited.  DRM requires the user to register a device on the domain; it limits the use of that domain to the single device which was registered.  In contrast, UITC registers the user and allows that user to transfer the song to as many devices as he or she desires.  We believe that UITC is superior to DRM for that reason.

Mobile Gateways
 
    The single most unique aspect of Liquid Spins pertains to our use of QR codes and Mobile Gateways. For each artist, album and song in our system, we can create a branded QR code called Liquid Clix. We intend to distribute these QR codes throughout the United States and approved territories through partnerships with retailers, media outlets such as magazines, newspapers, television, campus posters, billboard signage and many more. Each QR can be scanned using a bar code-enabled smart phone. When scanned, the smart phone will open a mini mobile web page we call Mobile Gateways. These Mobile Gateways allow a user to preview and purchase songs using the browser in their smart phone.
 
    Some smart phones allow a user to download directly to their phone. If this function is not available, the user will receive a message prompting them to download their purchase the next time they log into their Liquid Spins account.
 
Our Licensing Arrangements
 
      Effective May 15, 2011, the Company entered into a “MP3 Download Aggregator Agreement” (“Warner Agreement”) with Warner Music Inc.  The Warner Agreement extends for an initial term of one year unless sooner terminated, provides us access to a catalog of music provided by Warner on a non-exclusive basis and allows us to distribute the music within the United States and its territories and possessions in exchange for payment of a licensing fee to Warner.  The Warner Agreement may be terminated by Warner in the event of certain breaches by us, including our failure to make remittances required thereunder, assignment of the Agreement without Warner’s approval, failure to remove songs and other content from our website upon Warner’s request, and our use of the content other than as expressly authorized in the Agreement.  We may distribute this music directly, or through third party vendors that are approved by Warner.  The Warner Agreement also requires that we maintain certain information regarding distribution of the Warner music and to provide this information to Warner on a monthly basis.  We are also required to indemnify Warner against liabilities that it may incur as a result of our activities under the Agreement.  
 
    Our agreement with UMG Recordings, Inc. (“UMG”) is dated January 30, 2012 (“UMG Agreement”) and also extends for a period of one year.  At the end of the initial term, the UMG Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless terminated by either party upon not less than 30 days advance notice.   It allows us access to a catalogue of music maintained by UMG on a non-exclusive basis and to distribute the music within the United States, its territories and possessions in exchange for payment of a licensing fee to UMG.  The licensing fee is based on the number of songs or albums downloaded by our customers.  The UMG Agreement may be terminated by UMG in the event of certain breaches by us, including our failure to make remittances required under the Agreement, assignment of the Agreement without UMG’s approval, failure to remove songs and other content from our website upon UMG’s request, and our use of the content other than as expressly authorized in the Agreement.  We may distribute this music directly, or through third party vendors.  The UMG Agreement also requires that we maintain certain information regarding distribution of the UMG music and to provide this information to UMG periodically.  We are also required to indemnify UMG against liabilities that it may incur as a result of our activities under the UMG Agreement.
 
    Our agreement with Sony Music Entertainment Digital LLC (“Sony”) is dated November 7, 2011 (“Sony Agreement”) and also extends for a period of one year.  It allows us access to a catalogue of music maintained by Sony on a non-exclusive basis and to distribute the music within the United States in exchange for payment of a licensing fee to Sony.  The licensing fee is based on the number of songs or albums downloaded by our customers.  The Sony Agreement may be terminated by Sony in the event of certain breaches by us, including our bankruptcy, failure to make remittances required under the Agreement, assignment of the Agreement without Sony’s approval, failure to remove songs and other content from our website upon Sony’s request, and our use of the content other than as expressly authorized in the Agreement.  We may distribute this music directly, or through third party vendors approved by Sony.  The Sony Agreement also requires that we maintain certain information regarding distribution of the Sony music and to provide this information to Sony periodically.  We are also required to indemnify Sony against liabilities that it may incur as a result of our activities under the Sony Agreement.
 
    We have executed similar agreements with EMI Music, RED Distribution, LLC, and Curb Recording Group, Inc.
 
    In exchange for the rights to distribute the music, we have agreed to pay a licensing fee to the record companies for each music download.  The calculation of the license fee varies between companies, in some cases equaling a percentage of the retail price that we charge for the music and in other cases equal to the wholesale prices established by the record companies.  Certain companies charge a minimum fee during the term of the agreement, some in the form of recoupable, pre-paid royalties and others in the form of a monthly minimum payment during the term of the agreement.  An aggregate of $300,000 originally paid as advance royalties will not be recoupable due to expiration of the initial term of the agreement.  Beginning in July and for the remainder of 2012, we are required to pay minimum royalties to the record companies as a group in the amount of $25,000 per month.
 
    While the number of offerings available through the Company’s website varies from time to time due to new and deleted items, we estimate that we have access to approximately 2.4 million items of digital inventory from the various music companies, including individual songs, EPs and albums.
 
Intellectual Property
 
    We are working diligently to build a strong portfolio of intellectual property.  We have a federally registered trademark on the term “Malemark,” have applied for a trademark on “Liquid Spins” and we have filed for a patent on “Paper Records”.  We are currently evaluating all of our other intellectual property needs, including a federal tradename for our name, Liquid Spins, and potential patent and copyright protection of Liquidclix.TM.
 
    We own multiple domain names including “liquidspins.com” and “malemark.com”.  We also own multiple social networking domains and groups on twitter.com, facebook.com, flickr.com, pinterest.com and myspace.com.

Competition
 
    We face intense competition in the distribution of digital media content.  The RIAA estimates that over 400 licensed services are available to consumers.  Apple’s iTunes is the national market leader for offering digital media content to consumers for purchase.  Retailers such as Amazon.com also have their own online digital media stores where consumers can purchase music by downloading digital files.  We also face competition from mobile phone "Apps" such as Pandora which allow users to listen (but not purchase) music on their smart phones.These companies are all better known than us in the marketplace and have significantly greater resources than our company.  If any of these companies were to begin offering a platform to other companies to sell digital media under a branded or co-branded strategy, we likely would have to change our marketing strategy or target different white label customers.
 
    The large number of licensed services currently offering digital content requires that we invest significant time and money in our marketing and business development efforts.  Even after our product offerings are launched, we will be required to invest significantly in marketing our service.  However, we believe that we are situated favorably to meet the challenge posed by the other competitors, especially those that limit their product offerings to downloads, due to the relationships that we have developed in the music, entertainment and recording industries.  We believe that our relationships in the music, entertainment and recording industry provide us a competitive advantage through access to individuals strategically placed within the record companies, which in turn can shorten our time to negotiate and consummate a distribution agreement.
 
Company Facilities
 
    Our principal executive office is located at 5525 Erindale Drive, Suite 200, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80918 where we lease approximately 2,000 square feet of office space.  The term of the lease expires on June 30, 2012, and the parties have mutually agreed to extend the lease on a month to month basis at a rate of $1,895 per month.  
 
    We also lease approximately 950 square feet of office space in Nashville, Tennessee on a month to month basis for $1,250 per month.  We believe that these facilities are adequate for our needs for the foreseeable future.
 
Employees
 
    We currently employ eleven full time employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, President of Entertainment, Director of Design, Senior Designer, four Business Development employees an executive assistant, and an accountant.  We also engage two contractors, three part time employees and expect to employ additional individuals in an operational and administrative capacity to assist in our business in the future as working capital permits.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
    Neither our company nor any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such is a party to any pending legal proceeding and no such proceeding is contemplated to the best of their knowledge and belief.
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
    We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus.
 
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER INFORMATION
 
Market Information
 
    There currently exists no public trading market for our common stock.  However, following the date of this prospectus, we intend to identify one or more registered broker-dealers who might be interested in making application to FINRA to quote our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Markets. There can be no assurance that a public trading market will develop at that time, or be sustained in the future.  Without an active public trading market, you may not be able to liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all.  If a market does develop, the price for our securities may be highly volatile and may bear no relationship to our actual financial condition or results of operations.  Factors that we discuss in this prospectus, including the many risks associated with an investment in our stock, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock.  Also, because of the relatively low expected initial trading price of our common stock, many brokerage firms may be unwilling to effect transactions in the common stock.
 
    Any market which may develop for our common stock will be affected by the offer and sale of securities by the selling shareholders, as well as future sales of securities. We currently have outstanding 22,903,750 shares of our common stock which may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.  See “SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE” for additional information.
 
Holders of our Common Stock
 
      As of June 29, 2012, we had approximately 128 record holders of our common stock.

Penny Stock Rules
 
    Due to the price of our common stock, as well as the fact that we are do not expect our stock to be listed on a national securities exchange, our stock may be characterized as a “penny stock” under applicable securities regulations.  If our stock is or becomes a penny stock, we will be subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  The broker or dealer proposing to effect a transaction in a penny stock must furnish the customer with a document containing information prescribed by the SEC and obtain from the customer an executed acknowledgment of receipt of that document.  The broker or dealer must also provide the customer with pricing information regarding the security prior to the transaction and with the written confirmation of the transaction.  The broker or dealer must also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior to consummating the transaction and with the written confirmation of the trade.  The broker or dealer must also send an account statement to each customer for which he has executed a transaction in a penny stock each month in which such security is held for the customer’s account.  The existence of these rules may have an adverse effect on the price of our stock, and the willingness of certain brokers to effect transactions in our stock.
 
Transfer Agent
 
      We currently act as our own transfer agent for our common stock. We anticipate hiring an independent agent in the future in the event that a public market for our stock develops.
 
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
 
    On April 21, 2011, upon the recommendation of our Board of Directors, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of our equity incentive plan.  The plan, as amended and restated, is referred to in this discussion as the Plan.

    The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board.  The committee has the power to select the participants to be granted awards, determines the time or times when awards will be made, and determines the form of an award, the number of shares of our common stock subject to the award, and all the terms, conditions (including performance requirements), restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of awards, including the time and conditions of exercise or vesting, with the following exceptions:

    •   the maximum number of shares subject to one or more options that may be granted during any calendar year to any participant is 1,000,000 shares of common stock; and

    •   the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 5,000,000 shares of common stock (including those previously granted).
 
    Incentive options may be granted only to employees.  Non-qualified options, restricted stock, and other stock grants may be made to employees, directors, consultants and advisors.

    The Plan provides that the committee may delegate authority to specified officers to grant options and other awards, provided that no grants of options or other awards may be made by such specified officers to any employee, consultant or advisor whose compensation is, or may become, subject to the $1 million limit on deductible compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. At this time, the committee has not made such a delegation.

    Shares Subject to the Plan.  There are currently 5,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for the grant of awards under the Plan.  No more than 2,000,000 shares may be issued under incentive options.  As of the date of this prospectus, no options or other grants have been made under the Plan.

    Adjustment of Shares.  The number of shares available under and subject to the Plan, and each share reserved for issuance under the Plan, are subject to adjustment on account of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other dilutive changes in our common stock. Any shares of our common stock related to awards that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise will be available again for grant under the Plan.

    Exercise of Options.  The committee determines the exercise price for each option, but no option may be granted at an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (or at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant in the case of an incentive option granted to an individual who owns stock of our company having more than 10% of the voting power).  An option holder may exercise an option by written notice and payment of the exercise price in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of us, or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, an option may be exercised by a broker-dealer acting on behalf of the participant if the broker-dealer has received from the participant a notice of exercise and adequate provision has been made with respect to the payment of any withholding taxes due upon exercise.  If the exercise price of the shares being purchased is $2,000 or less, the exercise price must be paid in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of us.
 
18
 
 
 

 
 

    Option Term.  The committee determines the period and the conditions of exercisability, the minimum periods during which participants must be employed by us or must hold options before they may be exercised, the minimum periods during which shares acquired upon exercise must be held before sale, conditions under which the options or shares may be subject to forfeiture, the frequency of exercise or the minimum or maximum number of shares that may be acquired at any one time. Incentive options must expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant (five years in the case of an incentive option granted to an individual who owns stock of our company having more than 10% of the voting power).  If a participant’s employment terminates for any reason other than cause or death, the participant will be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any vested option for a period of up to three months from the date of termination (not longer than one year in the case of death). If the participant’s employment terminates for cause, as determined by us, the unexercised option will be forfeited and expire.

    Restricted Stock.  The committee may grant a participant a number of shares of restricted stock as determined by the committee in its sole discretion. Grants of restricted stock may be subject to such restrictions, including for example, continuous employment with us for a stated period of time or the attainment of performance goals and objectives, as determined by the committee in its sole discretion. The restrictions may vary among awards and participants. If a participant dies or becomes disabled or retires pursuant to our retirement policy, the restricted stock will become fully vested as to a pro rata portion of each award based on the ratio of the number of months of employment or service completed at termination of employment or service from the date of the award to the total number of months of employment or service required for each award to become fully vested. The remaining portion of the restricted stock will be forfeited. If a participant terminates employment for any other reason, all unvested shares of restricted stock will be forfeited. 
 
   Stock Grants.  The committee may grant shares of our common stock to participants. The committee determines the number of shares of our common stock to be granted, the vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, the time and manner of payment, and any other terms and conditions of the stock grants. The committee may also, in its sole discretion, accelerate vesting and waive other restrictions and conditions under such circumstances as it deems appropriate.

    Non-transferability.  Except as may otherwise be provided by the committee at the time of a grant, options and restricted stock awards are not transferable except by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.

    Amendment and Termination.  The Board of Directors may alter, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and may, from time to time, amend the Plan in any manner, but may not without shareholder approval adopt any amendment that would increase the aggregate number of shares of common stock available under the Plan or modify any provision of the Plan that would materially increase the benefit or rights of any participant in the Plan. Unless terminated sooner, the Plan will terminate on April 5, 2021.

    Change of Control.  Upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction involving a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Plan, the committee may take action with respect to outstanding awards under the Plan, including the immediate vesting of options, lapse of restrictions on restricted stock or provide for assumption or substitution of options by any successor company.  The committee may also provide that any awards that are outstanding at the time the corporate transaction is closed shall expire at the time of the closing. The committee need not take the same action with respect to all outstanding awards or to all outstanding awards of the same type.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Grant and Exercise of Options

    Certain of the federal income tax consequences applicable to the grant and exercise of non-qualified options and incentive options are as follows:

    Non-Qualified Options.  There are no income tax consequences to the participant or to us when a non-qualified option is granted. When a non-qualified stock option is exercised, in general, the participant recognizes compensation, subject to wage withholding and income tax, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price. We are generally entitled to a deduction equal to the compensation recognized by the participant, assuming that the compensation satisfies the ordinary, necessary and reasonable compensation requirements for deductibility and that the deduction is not limited by Section 162(m) of the Code.
 
19
 
 

 
 

    Incentive Options.  When an incentive option is granted, there are no income tax consequences for the participant or us. When an incentive option is exercised, the participant does not recognize income and we do not receive a deduction. The participant, however, must treat the excess of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price as an item of adjustment for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. If the participant makes a “disqualifying disposition” of the common stock (described below) in the same taxable year the incentive option was exercised, there are no alternative minimum tax consequences.

    If the participant disposes of our common stock after the participant has held it for at least two years after the incentive option was granted and at least one year after the incentive option was exercised, the amount the participant receives upon the disposition over the exercise price is treated as capital gain. We are not entitled to a deduction for this amount. If the participant makes a “disqualifying disposition” of common stock by disposing of common stock before it has been held for at least two years after the date the incentive option was granted and at least one year after the date the incentive option was exercised, the participant recognizes compensation income equal to the excess of:
 
    •   the fair market value of common stock on the date the incentive option was exercised or, if less, the amount received on the disposition, over

    •   the exercise price.
   
    We are not required to withhold income or other taxes in connection with a “disqualifying disposition.” We are generally entitled to a deduction equal to the compensation recognized by the participant, assuming that the compensation satisfies the ordinary, necessary and reasonable compensation requirements for deductibility and that the deduction is not limited by Section 162(m) of the Code.

    Code Section 409A.  Section 409A of the Code provides that all amounts deferred under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan are currently includible in gross income to the extent they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and have not been taxed previously unless the plan satisfies both the plan document and operational requirements specified in Section 409A of the Code. If the deferred compensation plan fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, all amounts deferred for the year of the failure and all preceding years (to the extent they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture) are included in the gross income of the participant(s) affected by the failure. The amount included in gross income is also subject to an additional tax equal to 20% of that amount and to interest. Incentive options are not subject to Section 409A. We have structured the Plan and expect to administer the Plan with the intention that non-qualified options will qualify for an exemption from Section 409A of the Code.

    Code Section 162(m).  Under Section 162(m) of the Code, we may be limited as to federal income tax deductions to the extent that total annual compensation in excess of $1 million is paid to our chief executive officer or any one of the four highest paid executive officers who were employed by us on the last day of the taxable year. However, certain “performance-based compensation,” the material terms of which are disclosed to and approved by our shareholders, is not subject to this limitation on deductibility. We have structured the Plan with the intention that compensation resulting from options granted under the plan would be deductible without regard to the limitations otherwise imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.
 
Dividend Policy
 
    We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock.  Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including the terms of any credit arrangements, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion.  At the present time, we are not party to any agreement that would limit our ability to pay dividends.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
    Our common stock is being offered by the selling shareholders at a price of $0.50 per share, until such time, if ever as our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Markets. The price of the shares was determined by us in negotiation with certain of our selling shareholders and primarily with reference to recent sales prices of our common stock. We also considered factors such as our history and limited revenue and other factors which our management considered in determining, in their best judgment, the fair market value of our common stock. However, the offering price of the common stock should not be used as an indication of the value of the securities or an assurance that purchasers will be able to resell the securities for an amount equal to the offering price or an amount in excess thereof.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
Overview
 
    The following discussion summarizes our plan of operation for the next 12 months.  It also analyzes our financial condition at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  It also analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in this prospectus and with the understanding that the actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect.
 
    We were organized in 2009 and have very limited operations to date.  Our business plan has changed since our inception and we have generated very limited revenue from operations.  We remain in the development stage for accounting purposes at March 31, 2012 under criteria established by the SEC since we have not yet demonstrated the ability to generate revenue sufficient to fund operations.  We are still developing our business plan, including efforts to secure relationships with additional record companies and potential retail partners.  As required by applicable guidelines of the SEC, substantially all of our expenditures to date have been expensed, and we expect to expense additional expenditures in 2012 related to securing agreements and developing our products.  We expect to remain as a development stage company for the foreseeable future, although we expect to achieve some revenue from our online music store in 2012.
 
Plan of Operation
 
    Our plan of operation for the next 12 months is to continue development of our website and online music platform, invest in additional marketing initiatives and generate revenue from the sale of our digital music catalog. The Company is developing an IOS App and has begun testing the App with availability expected in the third quarter of 2012. As of the date of this prospectus, we are positioned to generate revenue, as a beta version of our website is operable and the technology required to deliver music is complete.  However, due to the fact that we only recently executed agreements with some of the major record labels and concurrently obtained the rights to offer their music online, we expect to remain in the development stage until such time, if ever, as we have completed loading all of the music in our database, our testing is complete and our marketing initiatives have matured in order that we can generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations.  We have budgeted approximately $50,000 in the twelve months following the date of this prospectus for product development.  We expect our website to begin generating revenue in the third quarter of 2012, when we expect that our catalog of music will be adequate, the operation of our website will be perfected and our marketing efforts sufficiently underway.  We have paid the record companies $187,500 in additional advance royalties subsequent to March 31, 2012 and are obligated to pay an additional $150,000 in the remainder of 2012 at a monthly rate of $25,000.
 
    We are currently offering our digital music downloads for prices ranging from $0.69 to $1.99 per song and from $4.49 to $24.99 per album.  We believe these prices are competitive with other participants in the industry.  Due to limited revenue and profit margin for each item that is downloaded from our site, it will be necessary for us to achieve significant volume to become profitable.  Further, we do not believe that we will enjoy much flexibility to raise our prices due to significant competition in the industry.  Our current estimate is that we need 75,000 song downloads per month to break even from a cash flow standpoint, taking into account the advance royalties that we paid when the distribution agreements were executed, and 250,000 downloads per month, once the advance royalties are extinguished.  An aggregate of $300,000 originally paid as advance royalties will not be recoupable due to expiration of the initial term of the agreement.  Through the month of May 2012, the music downloaded from our site was negligible.
 
    Under the terms of our distribution agreements with record companies, we are required to pay a significant portion of the revenue generated from digital downloads to those companies in exchange for the licensing rights to the songs.  Accordingly, the success of our business plan depends on our ability to generate sufficient downloads to cover fixed and variable expenses.  The major components of fixed expenses include labor, office overhead, including rent, server space leased from a third party and insurance.  Variable expenses primarily included the royalties payable to the record companies for the music that they provide to us.
 
21
 
 

 
 
      Our existing marketing efforts consist of distribution of our proprietary QR codes to consumers in an effort to drive traffic to our website.  We have arrangements with EMI Music, Warner Music Inc., RED Distribution, LLC, Sony Music Entertainment Digital LLC, Universal Music Group and Curb Recording Group, Inc. which utilize the QR code in connection with concert promotions and other advertising initiatives.  We also have arrangements with certain retailers to distribute the QR Codes for songs available on our site.  We hope to increase such efforts in the future, as the costs are relatively insignificant compared to what we believe to be the potential revenue.  We also recently executed a distribution agreement with a company marketing and distributing prepaid gift cards and other stored-value products.  Under the terms of that agreement, we granted the exclusive rights to promote, market, distribute and sell our products at retail locations throughout the United States through the use of prepaid gift cards redeemable for digital music from our website and any other products which we may develop in the future which utilize a PIN-based or card-based program.  We have agreed to pay the distributor 15% of any sales generated through this medium.  We expect the rollout of this initiative to occur in the third quarter of 2012.  
 
    A future focus of our business efforts beyond 2012 will be to secure agreements with large retailers and other organizations that are interested in partnering with us to offer a co-branded website utilizing our Liquid Spins platform.  We expect that such an arrangement would supplement our marketing efforts and that any sales through third-party retail partners would not come at the expense of sales through our marketing efforts.  The most significant difference between sales initiated by third-party retailers is that we would be required to pay the retailer a portion of the revenue generated by each download.  In other cases, we retain all the revenue except that which is required to be paid to the record company.  In connection with sales through affiliates, we expect to pay such retailer approximately 10 to 20% of the net revenue that we receive for each download, after payment of the royalty to the record company.  In the event we are successful in executing agreements with one or more of these retailers, we expect the distribution of our digital music would be increased substantially.  
 
    Since our website and music platform are complete, we believe that the incremental costs necessary to construct a private label platform are small.  Such efforts would require gateway development with the retailer to allow users to “click through” the retailer’s website to our website and gain access to our music catalog.  The costs to distribute the QR codes to allow the retailer to distribute those codes to its customers would also be minimal.  Accordingly, we believe that the net revenue that we receive from each song or album download would be sufficient to cover our fixed costs for operating the platform, such as labor, server space, overhead and insurance, together with the relatively small variable costs necessary to construct a platform for any retailer.   
 
    Our corporate overhead consists primarily of salaries for our employees, rent and other general and administrative expenses.  With our current commitments for facilities and staff, we expect to incur approximately $900,000, or $75,000 per month, over the next 12 months for general and administrative expenses, including marketing.   We anticipate that we may add additional staff in the near future.  In addition, we are contractually obligated to provide public relations support for our large retail customers and record labels, such as public interviews, national advertising campaigns and nationally sponsored events and we anticipate outsourcing those duties to a firm which specializes in such services.  We expect these expenses and all other expenses will be paid from the proceeds of recent stock offerings until such time, if ever, as we move past the start-up phase and generate sufficient revenue to cover our expenses.
 
    As discussed in more detail below, our working capital at March 31, 2012 equaled $197,652.  We believe this working capital, together with anticipated proceeds from our current offering of preferred stock, and revenue from our business will be sufficient for the next 12 months. The Company anticipates significant growth in revenue based on the initial roll-out of the website, retail partnerships and gift card sales.  However, if additional capital is required within that time, we expect to explore an additional offering of our equity.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
    March 31, 2012.  At March 31, 2012, our working capital of $197,652 consisted of current assets of $411,506 and current liabilities of $213,854.   This represents a decrease of $30,647 since December 31, 2011, in turn representing cash spent on our operations, including payment of additional advance royalties to the record companies which provide our inventory of music.  We also raised $520,000 from the sale of Series A Preferred Stock during the quarter, all of which was spent on our operations.  We will require additional cash to continue implementation of our business plan at least until such time, if ever, that we exit the development stage and to that end, commenced another offering of our preferred stock in June 2012.  We have sold 1,025,000 shares of preferred stock as of June 29, 2012 (with outstanding subscriptions for another 156,250 shares), and are offering an additional 1,687,500 shares in an effort to obtain additional working capital.
 
22
 
 

 
 
 
    In June 2012, we executed a promissory note in favor of an individual to borrow money until we could raise additional equity financing.  The note, in the amount of $200,000, accrues interest in the amount of 15% per annum and is payable in full on or about September 1, 2012.  We also agreed to pay the lender three percent of the proceeds as an origination fee.  We anticipate that the note will be repaid from the proceeds of our offering of preferred stock, discussed above or from any cash generated from operations.
 
    The report of our independent accountants for the year ended December 31, 2011 contains a qualifying paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The paragraph notes our recurring losses from operations, minimal revenue and limited working capital and suggests that there is no assurance that we will continue as a going concern.  We believe that we are dependent on the receipt of additional financing and achievement of profitable operations to continue as a going concern and to make our business plan successful.
 
    The preferred stock provides a preference to the holders in the payment of dividends and upon liquidation of our company.  Dividends accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock on a cumulative, non-compounding basis at the rate of 12% per annum ($0.096 per share), payable quarterly in arrears out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends beginning March 31, 2012.  Dividends are payable in cash.  No dividend shall be payable on the common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock unless and until all dividends are paid in full on the Series A Preferred Stock.  After the preferential dividend is paid on the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will share pari passu on an as-converted basis in any dividends declared and paid on the common stock.  On April 10, 2012, we paid our first dividend of $7,950 to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at March 31, 2012.
 
    Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of common stock a liquidation preference of $0.80 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock.  Neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange nor transfer of all or any part of our business or assets, nor the consolidation or merger of, our company with another shall be deemed a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company for purposes of the liquidation preference.  Following payment of the liquidation preference, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate with holders of the common stock pari passu in any distribution of cash or assets of our company on an “as converted” basis, as if the preferred stock had been converted into common stock.
 
    Each holder of Series A Preferred will have the right to convert, in such holder’s sole discretion at any time up to the date that such shares are automatically converted into common stock, its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, together with any accrued but unpaid dividends, into common stock.
 
    The Series A Convertible Preferred stock shall be automatically converted into common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, upon (i) receipt of an effective date for a registration statement filed with the SEC registering the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the underlying shares of common stock; (ii) one year from the date of closing of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) the last sales price of the common stock on a national securities exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or an equivalent market shall be at least $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days; (iv) the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of our assets; (v) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of our company with or into any other corporation or corporations which results in the issuance of more than 50% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction; or (vi)  the issuance of shares of capital stock representing more than 50% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before such transaction in one or a series of related transactions (any of such events, an “Automatic Conversion”).
 
    At any time that the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, whether automatically or at the option of the holder, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing:  (i) the sum of (A) $0.80 plus (B) any dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock which such holder is entitled to receive, but has not yet received; by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.  The Conversion Price at which shares of common stock shall initially be issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.40.  
 
    For a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, please see “DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK.”
 
      Cash used in investing activities for first three months of 2012 totaled $31,640, including web and infrastructure costs.  In addition, Recoupable payments - MP3 Music of $250,000 were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2012, in accordance with our music distribution agreements.

    December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2011, we had working capital of $167,005, including current assets of $377,743 and current liabilities of $210,738.  Our working capital at December 31, 2011 decreased approximately $57,000 from the end of the prior fiscal year and represents cash spent on our operations.  We expect to continue to consume, rather than generate, cash from operations until such time, if ever, that we exit the development stage and begin to generate significant revenue.
 
      As has been the case since our inception, all of our cash during 2012 has been generated from the sale of our equity securities.  Historically, all of the sales of our preferred and common stock, including those during the three months ended March 31, 2012, have come in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of state and federal securities laws.  As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public market for our common stock.  However, if we are successful in identifying one or more broker-dealers interested in making a market for our common stock, and creating some trading volume, we believe our ability to raise financing in the future may be enhanced.

    During the year ended December 31, 2011, we completed a private placement which extended from September 2010 to April 2011 and consisted of the sale of 4,668,750 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share for gross proceeds of $1,867,500.  We also completed an additional placement of our common stock in July 2011, selling 650,000 shares at a price of $0.40 per share for gross proceeds of $260,000.  The proceeds from the latter offering have been, and will continue to be, utilized to pay our administrative expenses, including salaries and other overhead, advance royalties to acquire our catalog of digital music, and marketing expenses
 
    Our operating and investing activities continue to consume cash generated from our financing activities.  Cash used in operations for the year ended December, 31 2011 was $1,438,726, including our net loss for that period of $1,837,201.  The cash consumed in connection with our net loss was partially offset by payment of certain professional services with our common stock and other non-cash expenses.
 
    Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $426,343, including capital expenditures of $48,739 and web and infrastructure costs of $154,704. In addition, Recoupable payments - MP3 Music of $225,000 were incurred in the year ended December 31, 2011, in accordance with our music distribution agreements and an agreement that obligated us to pay for certain recording costs for song masters in return for certain recording services and other copyright deliverables. Upon execution of specific terms by the Artist, we expect to be reimbursed for all monies advanced, and are entitled to a royalty in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
 
   December 31, 2010.  As of December 31, 2010, our working capital totaled $224,182, consisting of current assets of $273,264 and current liabilities of $49,082. During the period from inception to December 31, 2010, we received $869,000 in cash, services and other property through the issuance of our common stock. At December 31, 2010, we did not have any debt. Due to our status as a development stage company, as well as the absence of significant amounts of tangible assets on our balance sheet, we do not believe we are a candidate for debt financing.
 
    During 2009 and 2010, we conducted various financing transactions.  During the period from inception to December 31, 2009, we sold 7,210,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate proceeds of $79,000.  During that period, we also issued 8,100,000 shares of common stock for intellectual property valued at $8,100.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold 2,496,250 shares of common stock, some at a price of $0.25 per share and the remainder at a price of $0.40 per share.  Aggregate proceeds from those sales during 2010 totaled $790,000.  During that time, we also issued 497,500 shares for accrued expenses valued at $190,000.

Results of Operations
 
      Three Months Ended March 31, 2012.   During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we reported a net loss of $525,374 or $0.02 per share.  Revenue during that time consisted primarily of printing services.  This compares to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $416,745.   As of March 31, 2012, we have reported negligible revenue from our online music store.  We expect to incur losses until such time, if ever, that we secure retail contracts or secure sufficient traffic and purchases through our website and can exit the development stage when our revenue is sufficient to cover expenses, including continued product development, sales, marketing and operations.
 
    Our accounting treatment as a development stage company, specifically regarding the classification of pre-production product testing and development costs as operating expense rather than a capital expenditure, has caused us to report large losses since inception. 
 
    During the three months ended March 31, 2012, product research and development totaled $168,737, compared to $182,207 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  These expenses represented a significant portion of our net loss for those periods.  
 
    The other most significant expense was general and administrative.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses totaled $146,735, compared to $209,885 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We also recorded an impairment during the first quarter of 2012 in the amount of $50,510 to account for the reduced value of equipment that was not necessary for future business operations and disposed of subsequent to the end of the quarter.
 
    Year Ended December 31, 2011.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, we reported a net loss of $1,837,201 or $0.08 per share.  Revenue during that time consisted primarily of printing services.  This compares to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $1,486,487.  Revenue decreased in 2011, as we ceased actively marketing our greeting cards and has not yet been replaced by the sales of music.  Our first revenue was recorded in June 2010.  We sold paper greeting cards, primarily through retail venues, for $27,888 during the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2011, we have reported negligible revenue from our online music store.  We expect to incur losses until such time, if ever, that we secure retail contracts or secure sufficient traffic and purchases through our website and can exit the development stage when our revenue is sufficient to cover expenses, including continued product development, sales, marketing and operations.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2011, product research and development totaled $698,585, compared to $256,703 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $50,931 for the period from inception through December 31, 2009.  These expenses represented a significant portion of our net loss for those periods.  
 
    The other most significant expense was general and administrative.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, general and administrative expenses totaled $763,379, compared to $1,133,982 for the year ended 2010. Comparable expenses during the period from inception through December 31, 2009 totaled $26,572.  Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $75,000 in stock compensation for services and $78,000 in non-cash expense for shares transferred by an officer who is also the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, to employees. Included in the amount for 2010 was $756,900 in non-cash expense for shares transferred by an officer and two directors who are also the beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock, to consultants and employees.  Also included in general and administrative expenses for 2010 was $190,000 in non-cash expense for financial management provided by a consulting firm that we retained in September 2010.
  
      Year Ended December 31, 2010.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we realized a loss on the disposal of an asset when we wrote off $15,262, the cost of our Malemark website, and an obsolete computer for a total of $18,179

    As of December 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

JOBS Act Emerging Growth Company
 
    We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (2) the last day of the fiscal year during which occurs the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (3) the date on which we have, during the  previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt, or (4) the date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act.
 
    As an “emerging growth company,” we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to the following:

·  
not being required to obtain an auditor attestation under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act;
·  
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements;
·  
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and from holding a vote for stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved;
·  
presenting not more than 2 years of audited financial statements to make our registration statement effective with respect to an initial public offering;
·  
delaying adoption of new and revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies; and
·  
providing executive compensation disclosure under Item 402 of Regulation S-K to the extent required by Smaller Reporting Companies as defined by rule of the SEC.
 
    Certain exemptions described above are also available to us as a smaller reporting company.  Specifically, the reduced disclosure obligation regarding executive compensation under Item 402 of Regulation S-K, presenting not more than 2 years of audited financial statements, and not being required to obtain an auditor attestation under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act are the same for an “emerging growth company” such as ours that qualifies as a “smaller reporting company.”
 
    Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we are not required to adopt any new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates when adoption of such standards are required for other public companies.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
      Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances.
 
    On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards, if new or revised accounting standards are adopted in the future.
 
    We believe that application of the following accounting policies, which are critical to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management.  Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this prospectus.
 
26
 
Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include estimates related to asset impairments of long lived assets and investments, estimates related to asset impairment of trade receivables, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies.  Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

    All items of property and equipment are carried at cost not in excess of their estimated net realizable value.  Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations while expenditures for major maintenance and betterments are capitalized.  Gains or losses on disposition are recognized in operations.  Equipment and software are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360 (“ASC 360”), “Property, Plant, and Equipment.”  In assessing the recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding the useful life and contribution to the estimated future cash flows.  If such assumptions change in the future, the Company is required to record impairment charges for these assets not previously recorded.
 
Production Costs, Royalties and Advance Royalties
 
    The Company is engaged in the production of recording-based entertainment, which is generally exploited in the CD or broadcast format.  Advance Royalty costs are contractually recouped first from initial sales.  The artist is not paid until Advance Royalty costs have been recovered in full by the Company.   All production costs and associated advance royalties are accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 928 “Entertainment – Music” (“ASC 928”).
 
    Production Costs:
 
    Production costs and licensing fees incurred where the past performance and current popularity of the artist provides a sound basis for estimating that the cost will be recovered from future sales are capitalized at cost per title as an intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the recorded performance generally 10 to 40 years.  If the past performance and current popularity of the artist does not provide a sound basis for estimating that the cost will be recovered from future sales, such costs will be charged to expense as a current period expense.
 
    In cases where the production costs are recoverable from the artist’s royalties, they are treated as advance royalties. (See below)
 
    Royalties and Advance Royalties:
 
    Any amounts paid to the artist in the form of royalties are expensed in the period in which related sales occur.  If the artist’s contract includes a nonrefundable “advance royalty” where the past performance and current popularity of the artist provides a sound basis for estimating that the cost will be recovered from future sales, the payment is appropriately recorded as current and noncurrent, and charged to expense as the artist earns royalties.
 
    Any portion of the advance that subsequently does not appear to be fully recoverable from the artist’s future royalties, are charged to current period expense in the period the loss becomes evident.
 
Website Application and Infrastructure Development Costs 
 
    The Company has a federally registered trademark on the term “Malemark” and owns multiple domain names including “Liquidspins.com” and “Malemark.com”.  The Company also manages multiple social networking on twitter.com, facebook.com, flickr.com, and myspace.com.  The domain’s value is based on the average number of users, demographics of these users, geography and number of advertisers and general sales it generates.
 
27
 
 

 
 
    Costs related to the domain name are capitalized and amortized over a 3-year period.  Periodic costs of maintaining the websites are expensed as operating costs as incurred.  In accordance with ASC Topic 350 (“ASC 350-50”), “Website Development Costs”, fees incurred for website hosting are expensed over the period of benefit, while costs incurred during the website application and infrastructure development stage are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic (“ASC 350-40”) “Internal Use Software”, and capitalized.  This includes costs to purchase software tools, or costs incurred during the application development stage for internally developed tools, costs to maintain and register an internet domain.  Graphics are generally considered a component of software costs.  Modifications to graphics after the software is launched are evaluated to determine whether the modifications represent maintenance or enhancements to the website.
 
    The primary business of Liquid Spins is no longer greeting cards.  The Company decided to direct their resources towards digital media distribution and has therefore determined that the cost of Malemark's website value in the amount of $15,262 should be written off as of December 31, 2010.
 
Income Taxes
 
    Income taxes are computed using the liability method.  Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes and the effect of net operating loss carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets are evaluated to determine if it is more likely than not that they will be realized.  Valuation allowances have been established to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets in recognition of significant uncertainties regarding their ultimate realization.  Further, the evaluation has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions required to be disclosed.
 
Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns Policy
 
    Revenue will derived from downloads of digital music; sales of gift cards for the downloading of digital music, and from the licensing of copyrighted song rights.  The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been downloaded or shipped and title and risk of loss have been transferred. For the Company’s online digital download sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is purchased and downloaded. The Company has implemented a no refund policy.
 
    The Company currently has no customer incentive programs.  Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to add customer incentive programs and incur incremental price protection obligations that could result in additional reductions to revenue at the time such programs are offered. Additionally, certain customer incentive programs would require management to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive. Management’s estimates would be based on the specific terms and conditions of particular incentive programs. If a greater than estimated proportion of customers redeem such incentives, the Company would be required to record additional reductions to revenue, which would have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations.
   
    The Company anticipates that a licensee will pay a minimum guarantee to the Company for the right to sell or distribute its music rights. The Company will then record any minimum guarantee payment received as unearned or deferred revenue and recognize earnings under its licensing agreement, absent a clear indication in the agreement, on a proportional basis over the life of the agreement. 
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
      The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the SEC, and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company.  The Company has adopted no new accounting standards during the year ended March 31, 2012.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates
 
    In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. We anticipate this accounting standard will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
28
 
 

 
 
    In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income” effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. This accounting standard provides new disclosure guidance related to the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. We anticipate this accounting standard will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
    In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 defers changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASU 2011-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-12 to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

    Each of our directors is serving a term which expires at the next annual meeting of our shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualified or until he resigns or is removed.  Our officers serve at the will of our board of directors.
 
     Mr. DeBoard should be considered the “founder” of our company (as such term is defined by Rule 12b-2 promulgated Exchange Act.)
 
    The following information summarizes the business experience of each of our directors and officers for at least the last five years:
 
    Herman C. DeBoard, III.  Mr. DeBoard was appointed our President and Chief Executive Officer at inception, and served in that capacity until April 2011 when he assumed the title of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. DeBoard’s business and educational background has provided him broad experience, primarily focused in the areas of communication and technology.  From July 2006 to November 2008, he served as chief information officer of Giant 5 Funds, a mutual fund company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  In that capacity, he served as the chief of technology, working on Internet technology, disaster preparedness and IT administration.  From April 2004  to June 2006, he was Director of Functional Technology for the United States Army at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he was responsible for all technology, software, hardware, disaster preparedness and security.  From March 2002 to April 2004, Mr. DeBoard was Chief of Emergency Communications at Schriever Air Force Base.  Mr. DeBoard was a Program Director III and liaison for the Centers of Disease Control from 2000 to 2002.  Mr. DeBoard began his career in the United States Air Force where he served during the first Gulf War in the early 1990’s, and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Southwest Asia Service Medal and was a member recipient of the Presidential Unit Citation.  Following his time in the Air Force, he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Communication Studies from Marshall University, and has begun working toward a Ph.D.  Mr. DeBoard has not served on the board of directors of any other public companies or registered investment companies during the past five years.  Our board believes that the technical and management experience gained by Mr. DeBoard in his prior career makes him well qualified to be a director of our company.
 
      Raymond E. McElhaney .  Mr. McElhaney has served as a director of our company since inception.  Mr. McElhaney is the president and co-founder of MCM Capital Management, Inc, a privately held financial management firm providing financial services since 1990.  From May 2005 until September 2008, Mr. McElhaney served as the president and chief executive officer of Brishlin Resources, Inc., now known as Synergy Resources Corporation, a publicly-traded Colorado-based corporation engaged in the oil and gas industry with securities quoted on the NYSE MKT, formerly known as the Amex.  Mr. McElhaney continues to serve as a director of Synergy Resources.  He has not served on the board of directors of any other public companies or registered investment companies during the past five years.  From February 2002 until June 2005, Mr. McElhaney served as chairman and secretary of Wyoming Oil & Minerals, Inc., now known as Sun Motor International Inc., which is quoted on the OTC Pink.  From May 2000 until April 2003, he served as vice president and secretary of New Frontier Energy, Inc., which is quoted on the OTCQB.  Our board believes that the management and corporate finance experience developed by Mr. McElhaney over many years serving as an executive officer and director of numerous publicly traded companies makes him well qualified to be a director of our company.
 
30
 
 

 
 
    Bill M. Conrad.  Mr. Conrad has served as a director of the Company since inception.   In 1990, Mr. Conrad co-founded MCM Capital Management Inc. with Mr. McElhaney and has served as its vice president, chief financial officer and a director since that time.  From May 2005 until September 2008, Mr. Conrad served as the vice president and secretary of Synergy Resources Corporation, where he continues to serve as a director.  Mr. Conrad also currently serves as a director of Gold Resource Corporation, a publicly-traded corporation involved in mineral exploration and production with securities traded on the NYSE MKT .  He has not served on the board of directors of any other public companies or registered investment companies during the past five years.  From February 2002 until June 2005, Mr. Conrad served as president and a director of Sun Motor International Inc.  From May 2000 until April 2003, he served as vice president and a director of New Frontier Energy, Inc.  Our board believes that the management and corporate finance experience developed by Mr. Conrad over many years serving as an executive officer and director of numerous publicly traded companies make him well-qualified to be a director of our company.
 
    Christy P. DiNapoli.  Mr. DiNapoli was elected as a director in April 2011 and has served as our President of Entertainment since March, 2011.  He has a lengthy background and extensive experience in the music and recording industry.  Since March 2007, Mr. DiNapoli has been the president of THE Music Group in Nashville, Tennessee, a privately-held company that manages a song catalog and various recording artists and also provides music industry consulting services.  Prior to 2007, Mr. DiNapoli was Vice President of KMG Entertainment, an entity formed in 2005.  In addition to his experience running music entertainment companies, Mr. DiNapoli is also an award-winning songwriter, music producer and publisher.  He formed the band known as Little Texas and served as its manager, co-producer and music publisher for nine years, winning various awards during that time.  Mr. DiNapoli serves on the boards of several non-profit organizations in Nashville, is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (the distributor of the Grammy Awards) and is a former board member of the Academy of Country Music.  Mr. DiNapoli has not served on the board of directors of any other public companies or registered investment companies during the past five years.  Our board believes that the management and music industry experience that Mr. DiNapoli has acquired over many years as well as his experience in managing several companies makes him well qualified to be a director of our company.
 
    Paul D. Myers.  Mr. Myers joined our company in February 2010 and was appointed to serve as Chief Operating Officer, Secretary and Treasurer effective June 1, 2010.  From June 2006 to November 2009, he served as interim chief compliance officer, fund secretary and fund treasurer at Giant 5 Funds.  From May 2004 to June 2006, he worked as an account executive and assistant editor in the music industry.  Mr. Myers possesses a diverse business and educational background that provides a wide range of experience and resources to our company.

From 1999 until 2009, Mr. Poage was self employed, and provided financial and tax accounting services to clients mostly in the Oil and Gas industry.
 
Director Independence
 
    Our Board of Directors believes that Messrs. McElhaney and Conrad are independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.  Section 5605(a)(2) of those rules defines an independent director as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, may interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
 
31
 
 

 
 
Director Compensation
 
    Our independent directors are currently compensated at the rate of $3,000 per month, which they may elect to receive in the form of cash or our common stock.  If the directors elect to receive stock for their services, the stock is valued at not less than the price at which it was sold in the Company’s most recent stock offering or the 20 day average closing bid price immediately preceding the payment, if a trading market for the stock develops.  We also reimburse our directors for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by them in that capacity.  We will review our compensation arrangements periodically in the future and may compensate our directors as our business needs dictate and our resources permit.

______________
(1)           The executive officer did not receive additional compensation for his service as a director of our company.
(2)           The individuals were paid as independent contractors for a portion of the year, which amount is reflected as ‘Other Compensation.’
 
    We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. DeBoard effective October 1, 2009.  The agreement is effective for a minimum three-year term expiring on September 30, 2012 unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.  This agreement, as amended, provides that Mr. DeBoard was compensated at the rate of $6,500 per month through June 30, 2010, following which his compensation was raised to $8,166.67 per month.  Mr. DeBoard is also entitled to participate in other compensation programs applicable to our other executive officers.
 
32
 
 

 
 
    The agreement with Mr. DeBoard may be terminated prior to its expiration either by us or the employee.  We may terminate the agreement immediately for cause and for any reason on not less than 60 advance written notice.  “Cause” for purposes of the agreement means such conduct by the employee which constitutes in fact or law a breach of fiduciary duty or felonious conduct having the effect, in the opinion of our board of directors, of materially and adversely affecting our company or its reputation.  If we terminate the agreement without cause, or if Mr. DeBoard resigns in connection with a merger, acquisition, buy-out or any corporate restructure, he is entitled to be paid any amount remaining under the agreement for the balance of the initial three-year term, payable in full at the time of separation.
 
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 
    Initial Capitalization.  On July 20, 2009, we issued 9,000,000 shares of our common stock to Herman DeBoard, III for a price of $9,000, including cash and property, and 2,500,000 shares of common stock each to Raymond McElhaney and Bill Conrad for $2,500 cash each, or $0.001 per share.  Messrs. DeBoard, McElhaney and Conrad were the only members of our Board of Directors approving that transaction on our behalf.
 
    Consulting Agreement with MCM Capital.  Upon formation of the Company, we entered into an agreement with MCM Capital Management, Inc. to provide consulting services to the company as needed.  We entered into a written agreement with MCM Capital effective December 1, 2010 pursuant to which we agreed to pay MCM $2,000 per month in consulting fees.  MCM provides advice in the areas of capital formation, finance and strategic planning.  The agreement was originally for a term of one year, but has been renewed beyond that term on a month to month basis.  Bill Conrad and Ray McElhaney, the shareholders, officers and directors of MCM Capital, are also members of our board of directors and the beneficial owners of more than five percent of our common stock.
 
    Lease Agreement.  Effective March 1, 2011, we entered into a lease agreement with DiAffari Properties under which we lease office space in the city of Nashville, Tennessee.  The term of the lease is on a month-to-month basis, and provides for payment of $1,250 per month.  Christy DiNapoli, an officer and director of our company, is an owner of DiAffari Properties.
 
Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors
 
    Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we must indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, any of our directors, officers, employees or agents made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the person serving or having served in a capacity as such, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
    The Colorado Business Corporation Act (the “CBCA”) allows indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a company against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a party because he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company if such person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person must be found to be entitled to indemnification under this statutory standard by procedures designed to assure that disinterested members of the board of directors have approved indemnification or that, absent the ability to obtain sufficient numbers of disinterested directors, independent counsel or shareholders have approved the indemnification based on a finding that the person has met the standard. Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses.
 
33
 
 

 
 
    Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA. Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for:
 
·    
any breach of the duty of loyalty to our company or our shareholders;
·    
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 ·    
dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of certain statutory or contractual restrictions;
·    
violations of certain laws; or
·    
any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.
 
Liability under federal securities law is not limited by the Articles.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
    We have agreed to file the registration statement which contains this prospectus on behalf of our selling shareholders. We have also agreed to use our best efforts to keep the registration statement effective and update the prospectus until the securities owned by the selling shareholders have been sold or may be sold without registration or prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. We will pay the costs and fees of registering the shares, but the selling shareholders will pay any brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the shares.

    The registration statement which we have filed with the SEC, of which this prospectus forms a part, covers the resale of our common stock by the selling shareholders from time to time under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Our agreement with the selling shareholders is designed to provide those shareholders some liquidity in their ownership of common stock and to permit secondary public trading of our securities. The selling shareholders may offer our securities covered under this prospectus for resale from time to time. The selling shareholders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. (SeePLAN OF DISTRIBUTION”).
 
      The table below presents information as of June 29, 2012 regarding the selling shareholders and our common stock that the selling shareholders may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by those shareholders. Except as otherwise noted, the individuals listed in the table below have sole voting and investment power over the shares.  Although we have assumed, for purposes of the table below, that the selling shareholders will sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus, because they may offer all or some of the securities in transactions covered by this prospectus or in another manner, no assurance can be given as to the actual number of shares that will be resold by the selling shareholders. Information covering the selling shareholders may change from time to time, and changed information will be presented in a supplement to this prospectus if and when required. If we are advised of a change in selling shareholders and the new selling shareholders, any pledges, donees or transferees wish to rely upon this prospectus in the resale of their shares, we will file an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Except as described above, there are no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to resale of any of the securities covered by this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
    The selling shareholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may offer the shares of our common stock from time to time after the date of this prospectus and will determine the time, manner and size of each sale in the over the counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.  The shares will be offered at a price of $0.50 per share until such time, if ever, our shares are quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or the Over the Counter Markets, following which the shares may be offered at prices prevailing in the market or at privately negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may negotiate, and may pay, brokers or dealers commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may allow other brokers or dealers to participate. However, the selling shareholders and any brokers or dealers involved in the sale or resale of the shares may qualify as “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the brokers’ or dealers’ commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters’ compensation under the Securities Act.
 
    The methods by which the selling shareholders may sell the shares of our common stock include:
 
·
A block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;
·
Sales to a broker or dealer, as principal, in a market maker capacity or otherwise and resale by the broker or dealer for its account;
·
Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchases;
·
Privately negotiated transactions;
·
Short sales;
·
Any combination of these methods of sale; or
·
Any other legal method.
 
    In addition to selling their shares under this prospectus, the selling shareholders may transfer their shares in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer, or sell their shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act rather than under this prospectus, if the transaction meets the requirements of Rule 144. Any selling shareholder who uses this prospectus to sell his shares will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
    Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides that during the period that any person is engaged in the distribution of our shares of common stock, as defined in Regulation M, such person generally may not purchase our common stock. The selling shareholders are subject to these restrictions, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by the selling shareholders. This may affect the marketability of our common stock.
 
    The selling shareholders may use agents to sell the shares. If this happens, the agents may receive discounts or commissions. The selling shareholders do not expect these discounts and commissions to exceed what is customary for the type of transaction involved. If required, a supplement to his prospectus will set forth the applicable commission or discount, if any, and the names of any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents involved in the sale of the shares. The selling shareholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of our common stock offered hereby may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of shares by them and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation received by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any broker or dealer or agent against certain liabilities relating to the selling of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
    Upon notification by the selling shareholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker or dealer for the sale of the shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing the material terms of the transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
      Our authorized capital consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 per share.  We have designated a series of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock comprised of 3,000,000 shares.  As of June 29, 2012 we had 22,903,750 shares of common stock outstanding and 1,025,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and an additional 156,250 shares subscribed.
 
    The following discussion summarizes the rights and privileges of our capital stock.  This summary is not complete, and you should refer to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, filed with the Colorado Secretary of State.
 
Common Stock
 
    The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to stockholders, including the election of directors.  Cumulative voting for directors is not permitted.  Except as provided by special agreement, the holders of common stock are not entitled to any preemptive rights and the shares are not redeemable or convertible.  All outstanding common stock is, and all common stock offered hereby will be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and non-assessable.  The number of authorized shares of common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding or otherwise reserved under obligations for issuance by us) by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares cast at a meeting of our shareholders at which a quorum is present.
 
    Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not include any provision that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company.  However, as a matter of Colorado law, certain significant transactions would require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares eligible to vote at a meeting of shareholders which requirement could result in delays to or greater cost associated with a change in control of our company.
 
    The holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by our Board of Directors from legally available funds, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock.  Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, all assets remaining after payment to creditors and prior to distribution rights, if any, of any series of outstanding preferred stock.
 
Preferred Stock
 
    Our Articles of Incorporation vest our board of directors with authority to divide the preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series so established to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Colorado and our Articles of Incorporation in respect to, among other things:
 
(i) the number of shares to constitute such series and the distinctive designations thereof;
 
(ii) the rate and preference of dividends, if any, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends are cumulative and the date from which any dividend shall accrue;
 
(iii) whether preferred stock may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;
 
(iv) the liquidation preferences payable on preferred stock in the event of involuntary or voluntary liquidation;
 
(v) sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for redemption or purchase of preferred stock;
 
(vi) the terms and conditions by which preferred stock may be converted, if the preferred stock of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion; and
 
(vii) voting rights, if any.
 
39
 
 

 
 
Series A Preferred Stock
 
    The Series A Preferred Stock has the following rights and is subject to the following restrictions:
 
    Dividends.  Dividends accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock on a cumulative, non-compounding basis at the rate of 12% per annum ($0.096 per share), payable quarterly in arrears out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends beginning March 31, 2012.  Dividends are payable in cash.  No dividend shall be payable on the common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock unless and until all dividends are paid in full on the Series A Preferred Stock.  After the preferential dividend is paid on the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will share pari passu on an as-converted basis in any dividends declared and paid on the common stock.
 
    Liquidation Preference.  Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of common stock a liquidation preference of $0.80 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock.  Neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange nor transfer of all or any part of our business or assets, nor the consolidation or merger of, our company with another shall be deemed a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company for purposes of the liquidation preference.  Following payment of the liquidation preference, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate with holders of the common stock pari passu in any distribution of cash or assets of our company on an “as converted” basis, as if the preferred stock had been converted into common stock.
 
    Conversion.  Each holder of Series A Preferred will have the right to convert, in such holder’s sole discretion at any time up to the date that such shares are automatically converted into common stock (as described below), its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, together with any accrued but unpaid dividends, into common stock.
 
    The Series A Convertible Preferred stock shall be automatically converted into common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, upon (i) receipt of an effective date for a registration statement filed with the SEC registering the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the underlying shares of common stock; (ii) one year from the date of closing of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) the last sales price of the common stock on a national securities exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or an equivalent market shall be at least $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days; (iv) the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of our assets; (v) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of our company with or into any other corporation or corporations which results in the issuance of more than 50% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction; or (vi)  the issuance of shares of capital stock representing more than 50% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before such transaction in one or a series of related transactions (any of such events, an “Automatic Conversion”).  Delivery of certificate(s) shall not be necessary to effect an Automatic Conversion, but such conversion shall be immediately effective following delivery of written notice by us of the event giving rise to the Automatic Conversion.  Upon receipt of such notice, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may surrender their certificates and request the issuance of one or more certificates for the common stock.
 
    Following delivery of notice of the Automatic Conversion, certificates for the Series A Preferred Stock that are not surrendered shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force or effect.
 
    At any time that the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, whether automatically or at the option of the holder, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing:  (i) the sum of (A) $0.80 plus (B) any dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock which such holder is entitled to receive, but has not yet received; by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.  The Conversion Price at which shares of common stock shall initially be issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.40.  The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment in certain events, including the issuance of a stock dividend on the common stock, subdivisions or combination of the common stock, and the issuance to all holders of common stock of certain rights or warrants, each as set forth in more detail below.  No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required to be made until cumulative adjustments aggregate 5% or more of the Conversion Price as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustment not made shall be carried forward.
 
    Voting Rights.  Except as otherwise set forth herein or as required by law, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters submitted to the shareholders for approval as if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock.  In addition, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, we shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class: (i) amend, alter, or repeal any provision of our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws so as to adversely effect the relative rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) authorize, create, issue, or increase the authorized number of shares of any additional class or series of stock, or any security convertible into stock of such class or series, ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our company, or which possess rights which may allow for voting separately as one class with the Series A Preferred Stock; or (iii) effect any reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
40
 
 

 
 
 
    In connection with any matter on which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a class, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder.
 
    Redemption Rights.  The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable. 
 
Restrictions on Future Sales of Our Stock
 
    All of our common and preferred stock currently outstanding is subject to restrictions on resale.  The shares being offered have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws or regulations.  Purchasers of the shares may not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the common stock in the absence of (i) an effective registration for such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) an opinion of Company’s counsel that such registration is not required.  We have filed a registration statement to facilitate the sales of shares described in this prospectus.  The shareholders may also sell their shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, described below.
 
    Under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, a person holding such restricted securities who is not an affiliate of our company and who beneficially owns those securities that were not acquired from us or an affiliate of our company within the previous one year would be entitled to sell their shares free of any restrictions, should a market for our common stock develop.  An affiliate of our company would be entitled to sell, within any 12-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
 
 
one percent (1%) of the then outstanding shares of the applicable class, or
 
 
the average weekly trading volume of the class, if any during the four calendar weeks preceding the date of the proposed sale.
 
    The sale of any shares in the future, either pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144, could depress the price of our common stock in any market which might develop.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Sales of substantial amounts of common stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options) in the public market after this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.  Those sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity-related securities in the future or reduce the price at which we could sell any equity-related securities.

1. 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The Company: Liquid Spins, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 20, 2009 under the name “Malemark, Inc.” to develop and market a line of greeting cards under the Malemark trademark and logo that were primarily targeted towards male consumers.  On April 26, 2011, the Company changed its name to “Liquid Spins, Inc.”  While working on the greeting card portfolio, the Company developed a “lyrical greeting card” product which incorporated lyrics from popular songs as part of the card message.  The lyrical greeting card evolved into additional web-based products that focused on distributing digital media (primarily music) via the internet, and the Company began marketing these products under the “Liquid Spins” name.  While the Company is still maintaining web-based greeting card products, the Company’s business continues to evolve into a digital media platform including associated products.  The Company has emerged as a distribution company building a digital media platform that can be used as a system for distributing digital media to customers.
 
    Basis of Presentation:    The interim financial statements of the Company are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included on Form S-1 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The financial statements included herein are expressed in United States dollars, the Company’s reporting currency.  The accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  The financial statements are accounted for in accordance with ASC 915 (“ASC 915”) “Development Stage Companies”.  In accordance with ASC 915, a development stage company is a company whose primary activities, include, but are not limited to financial planning, raising capital, and research and development.  It is an entity devoting substantially all its efforts to establishing a new business for which either of the following conditions exist:
 
I.    
Planned principal operations have not commenced; or
 
II.    
Planned principal operations have commenced, but there has been no significant revenue therefrom.
 
    Research is generally defined as planned research or critical investigation aimed at discovery of new knowledge with the hope that such knowledge will be useful in developing a new product or service or a new process or technique or in bringing about a significant improvement to an existing product or process. Development is generally defined as the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan, or design for a new product or process, or for a significant improvement to an existing product or process whether intended for sale or use. It includes the conceptual formulation, design, and testing of product alternatives, construction of prototypes, and operation of pilot programs.
 
    As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses, has generated minimal revenues and at March 31, 2012 has an accumulated deficit of $3,926,565.  These factors raise considerable doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that revenue generating activities and financing through the sale of equity will provide sufficient working capital for the next year.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company does not continue as a going concern.
 
    Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements include estimates related to impairments of long lived assets and investments and trade receivables, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2012

  
     Per Share Amounts:    Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  In the event of a net loss, no common share equivalents are included in the calculation of shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
    Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns: Revenue is recognized when all applicable recognition criteria have been met, which generally include (a) persuasive evidence of an existing arrangement; (b) fixed or determinable price; (c) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered; and (d) collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.
 
    Revenue is or may be derived from downloads of digital music, sales of gift cards for the downloading of digital music, and from the licensing of copyrighted song rights.  The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been downloaded or shipped and title and risk of loss have been transferred. For the Company’s online digital download sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is purchased and downloaded. The Company has implemented a no-refund policy.
 
    The Company currently has no customer incentive programs.  Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to add customer incentive programs and incur incremental price protection obligations that could result in additional reductions to revenue at the time such programs are offered. Additionally, certain customer incentive programs would require management to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive. Management’s estimates would be based on the specific terms and conditions of particular incentive programs. If a greater-than-estimated proportion of customers redeem such incentives, the Company would be required to record additional reductions to revenue.
 
     The Company sells music downloads at its website utilizing third-party vendors, such as PayPal, to process payments.  Sales are recognized when title and the risk of loss have been transferred to the customer.  The Company’s music download business had nominal sales from inception through March 31, 2012.
 
    Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update: In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The Company anticipates that this accounting standard will not have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
    In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income” effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. This accounting standard provides new disclosure guidance related to the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The Company anticipates that this accounting standard will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
    In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 defers changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASU 2011-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-12 to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Other recent Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after March 31, 2012 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2.     Guaranteed Royalty Payments -MP3 Music
 
    During 2011 and 2012, the Company entered into certain “Music Distribution Agreements” (“Agreements”), the terms of which are contractually confidential.   Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require non-refundable recoupable payments.   The Company expects to recoup certain of these costs through future sales of MP3 music.
 
    During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has paid $250,000 and $75,000 respectively in non-refundable recoupable payments. In addition to these payments, the Company has paid $150,000 and is contractually obligated to pay $150,000 in non-refundable payments which are due on May 15, 2012.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has expensed $117,191 and Nil respectively on a pro-rata basis to cost of sales per terms of the Agreements.
 
3.    Advance Royalty Payments
 
Music Catalog
 
    In December 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement for the development of five master recordings (“Music Catalog Recording Agreement” or “Recording Agreement”).  Under this Recording Agreement, the Company paid $15,000 in each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 in non-refundable, fully recoverable advance royalty payments.  The Company is entitled to recover the advance payments from the proceeds of any revenue under the Recording Agreement.   
 
    The Company has capitalized the advance royalty payment under ASC 928. The payment is appropriately recorded as current and noncurrent, and charged to expense as the artist earns royalties.
 
    Any portion of the advance that subsequently does not appear to be fully recoverable from the artist’s future royalties, would be charged to current period expense in the period the loss becomes evident. No such charges were made in 2012 and 2011.
 
Publishing Catalog
 
    On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive songwriting agreement with a composer and the composer’s co-publisher.  Under the terms of the agreement, in exchange for certain exclusive composer services and assignment of composer’s entire interest in all related works and materials, along with other conditions imposed on the composer and co-publisher, the Company agreed to pay certain non-refundable, fully recoverable advance payments, including, but not limited to $24,000 during the initial period of the contract, payable in equal monthly installments  at $2,000 per month, and 50% of all sums expended by the Publisher in connection with independent promotion. 
 
    The Company is entitled to recover the advance payments from any and all royalties otherwise payable to the composer pursuant to terms of the agreement, including, but not limited to fifty percent (50%) of any and all gross receipts derived from uses of the Composition, with certain restrictions.  The term of the agreement consists of an initial period of one year ending February 29, 2012 and was extended thereafter on a month to month basis.  In accordance with the agreement, the Company, as the owner of these original music compositions and music copyrights, has the right to license records or music to others, but has not licensed any rights as of this date. 

    For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company has paid and capitalized $6,000, in addition to the $20,000 paid in the year ended December 31, 2011, in songwriting costs under ASC 928. Under ASC 928, any advance royalty, where the past performance and current popularity of the artist provides a sound basis for estimating that the cost will be recovered from future sales, the payment is appropriately recorded as current and noncurrent, and charged to expense as the artist earns royalties.

    Any portion of the advance that subsequently does not appear to be fully recoverable from the artist’s future royalties, are charged to current period expense in the period the loss becomes evident. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were sales of $124 from recordings under the agreement and, accordingly, $124 in advance royalty payments were charged to expense. 

4.      Asset Impairment
 
Fixed assets are assessed periodically for possible impairment due to unrecoverability of costs invested under the rules of ASC 360-40. Any impairment is a non-cash charge to operations.  Any charge to operations impacts shareholders’ equity in the period of occurrence and results in lower depreciation in future periods. Any recorded impairment may not be reversed in future periods, even if there is evidence that the asset is no longer impaired.
 
With the sale of certain recording equipment in May 2012 (see note 9 – Subsequent Events), it became evident that the equipment was more-likely-than-not materially impaired as of March 31, 2012. Accordingly, the Company has recognized impairment on the asset in the amount of approximately $50,000 for the period then ended.

5.    Deferred Income Taxes
 
    Since inception, the Company has accumulated substantial net operating loss carry forwards for tax purposes.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $1,481,989 and $1,305,894, respectively, attributable to tax loss carry forwards for U.S. tax purposes.  The principal difference between the net loss reported for financial reporting purposes and the loss reported for tax purposes relates to stock based compensation, asset valuation and impairment, and depreciation and amortization differences for financial reporting purposes versus tax reporting purposes.
 
      Deferred income taxes are stated at tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income tax payments in future years.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

   Net operating loss carry-forwards approximate $2,588,891 and $2,195,054 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. There are statutory limitations on the Company’s ability to realize any future benefit from the related potential tax assets, including a requirement that losses be offset against future taxable income, if any.  If the Company were to experience a change in ownership under Section 382, the Company may be limited in its ability to fully utilize its net operating losses.
 
   If not used, the carry-forwards will expire from 2030 through 2033.   The Company is uncertain as to whether it will ever utilize the operating loss carry-forwards.  Accordingly, the deferred tax assets of approximately $1,481,989 and $1,305,894 relating to the operating loss carry-forwards have been fully reserved as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The increase in the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset was approximately $176,095 during the period ended March 31, 2012.
 
    Deferred tax assets at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets are expected to be settled or realized.  A reconciliation of the U.S. federal tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:
 
Income tax provision at federal statutory rate:   
   
35%
 
Effect of net operating loss
   
(35%
)
Effective tax rate:  
   
-%
 
 
    The Company is subject to examination by the IRS and various U.S. state and local jurisdictions for tax years 2009 to the present.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold 650,000 shares of its Series A Preferred stock at $0.80 per share or a total of $520,000.
 
    The preferred stock provides a preference to the holders in the payment of dividends and upon liquidation of the company.  Dividends accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock on a cumulative, non-compounding basis at the rate of 12% per annum ($0.096 per share), payable quarterly in arrears out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends beginning March 31, 2012.  Total accrued dividends payable for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $7,950 all of which were paid on April 10, 2012.

    Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of common stock a liquidation preference of $0.80 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock.  Neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange nor transfer of all or any part of our business or assets, nor the consolidation or merger of, our company with another shall be deemed a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company for purposes of the liquidation preference.  Following payment of the liquidation preference, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate with holders of the common stock pari passu in any distribution of cash or assets of our company on an “as converted” basis, as if the preferred stock had been converted into common stock.
 
    Each holder of Series A Preferred will have the right to convert, in such holder’s sole discretion at any time up to the date that such shares are automatically converted into common stock, its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, together with any accrued but unpaid dividends, into common stock.
 
    The Series A Convertible Preferred stock shall be automatically converted into common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, upon (i) receipt of an effective date for a registration statement filed with the SEC registering the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the underlying shares of common stock; (ii) one year from the date of closing of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) the last sales price of the common stock on a national securities exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or an equivalent market shall be at least $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days; (iv) the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of our assets; (v) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of our company with or into any other corporation or corporations which results in the issuance of more than 50% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction; or (vi)  the issuance of shares of capital stock representing more than 50% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before such transaction in one or a series of related transactions (any of such events, an “Automatic Conversion”).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
Board of Directors
Liquid Spins, Inc.
Colorado Springs, Colorado
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Liquid Spins, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period June 20, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Liquid Spins, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period June 20, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2011 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 Note 1, the Company has suffered recurring losses since inception, has generated minimal revenues and is in the development stage, which  raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters is also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not exclude any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LIQUID SPINS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
1. 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The Company: Liquid Spins, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 20, 2009 under the name “Malemark, Inc.” to develop and market a line of greeting cards under the Malemark trademark and logo that were primarily targeted towards male consumers.  On April 26, 2011, the Company changed its name to “Liquid Spins, Inc.”  While working on the greeting card portfolio, the Company developed a “lyrical greeting card” product which incorporated lyrics from popular songs as part of the card message.  The lyrical greeting card evolved into additional web-based products that focused on distributing digital media (primarily music) via the internet, and the Company began marketing these products under the “Liquid Spins” name.  While the Company is still maintaining web-based greeting card products, the Company’s business continues to evolve into a digital media platform including associated products.  The Company has emerged as a distribution company building a digital media platform that can be used as a system for distributing digital media to customers.
 
    Basis of Presentation:    The financial statements included herein are expressed in United States dollars, the Company's reporting currency.  The accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  The financial statements are accounted for in accordance with ASC 915 (“ASC 915”) “Development Stage Companies”.  In accordance with ASC 915, a development stage company is a company whose primary activities, include, but are not limited to financial planning, raising capital, and research and development.  It is an entity devoting substantially all its efforts to establishing a new business for which either of the following conditions exist:
 
I.    
Planned principal operations have not commenced; or
 
II.    
Planned principal operations have commenced, but there has been no significant revenue therefrom.
 
    Research is generally defined as planned research or critical investigation aimed at discovery of new knowledge with the hope that such knowledge will be useful in developing a new product or service or a new process or technique or in bringing about a significant improvement to an existing product or process. Development is generally defined as the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan, or design for a new product or process, or for a significant improvement to an existing product or process whether intended for sale or use. It includes the conceptual formulation, design, and testing of product alternatives, construction of prototypes, and operation of pilot programs.
 
    As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses, has generated minimal revenues and at December 31, 2011 has an accumulated deficit of $3,401,191.  These factors raise considerable doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that revenue generating activities and financing through the sale of equity will provide sufficient working capital for the next year.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company does not continue as a going concern.
 
    Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements include estimates related to impairments of long lived assets and investments and trade receivables, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
    Cash and Cash Equivalents:   The Company’s operating cash balances are maintained in financial institutions and periodically exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that the financial strength of these institutions mitigates the underlying risk of loss.  To date, these concentrations of credit risk have not had a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
 
F-20
 
 

 
    Restricted Cash:    Pursuant to the terms of an on-line vendor agreement, the Company agreed to place cash in escrow, to be released to the vendor upon the Company’s satisfaction with the service. The restricted cash balances were placed in separate non- interest bearing accounts.   As of December 31, 2011 and  2010, $Nil and $2,100, respectively, of website project services related to restricted cash in escrow had not been completed.
  
    Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:    Accounts receivables consist of uncollateralized customer obligations generally due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. However, as is customary in the industry, the Company’s accounts receivable may extend up to 90 days.  Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of  December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had balances of $Nil and $13,549, respectively, for  its allowance for doubtful accounts.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, bad debt expense totaled $Nil and $13,549, respectively.
 
    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:    The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment.  If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs additional analysis to quantify the amount, if any, by which capitalized costs exceed recoverable value. The periodic evaluation of capitalized costs is based upon expected future cash flows, including estimated salvage values. As of December 31, 2011 and  2010, there was no impairment of capitalized long-term assets.
 
    Property and Equipment:    All items of property and equipment are carried at cost not in excess of their estimated net realizable value.  Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations while expenditures for major maintenance and betterments are capitalized.  Gains or losses on disposition are recognized in operations. Equipment and software are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360 (“ASC 360”), “Property, Plant, and Equipment.”  In assessing the recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding the useful life and contribution to the estimated future cash flows.  If such assumptions change in the future, the Company is required to record impairment charges for these assets not previously recorded.
 
    Depreciation:   Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the various assets.   The cost of computer equipment is depreciated over 3 to 5 years and software is amortized over 3 years.
 
    Website Application and Infrastructure Development Costs:  The Company has a federally registered trademark on the term “Malemark” and owns multiple domain names including “LiquidSpins.com”, “Malemark.com” and “cavemangreetingcards.com”.  The Company also owns multiple social networking domains and groups on twitter.com, facebook.com, flickr.com, and myspace.com.  The domain’s value is based on the average number of users, demographics of these users, number of advertisers and sales it generates.
 
    Costs related to the development of the domain name are capitalized and amortized over a 3-year period.  Periodic costs of maintaining the websites are expensed as operating costs as incurred.  In accordance with ASC Topic 350 (“ASC 350-50”), “Website Development Costs”, fees incurred for website hosting are expensed over the period of benefit, while costs incurred during the website application and infrastructure development stage are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic (“ASC 350-40”) “Internal Use Software”, and capitalized.  Capitalized costs also include but are not limited to costs to purchase software tools, or costs incurred during the application development stage for internally developed tools and costs to maintain and register an internet domain.  Graphics are generally considered a component of software costs.  Modifications to graphics after the software is launched are evaluated to determine whether the modifications represent maintenance or enhancements to the website.
 
 
F-21
 
 

 
 
    The primary business of Liquid Spins is no longer greeting cards.  The Company decided to direct its resources towards digital media distribution and has therefore determined that the Malemark websites value should be written off in the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
    Stock Based Compensation:   The Company follows ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”),” which requires it to provide compensation costs for its stock option plans determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in ASC 718.  The fair value of each stock option is estimated at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is expensed over the service period, if any, of the stock option.  As of December 31, 2011, there were no issued or outstanding stock options and no stock option activity for the year then-ended.
 
    Share-based Payment Transactions:  Share-based payments awarded to employees and consultants of the Company by a related party and other holder of an economic interest in the Company as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for under ASC Topic 718.  Under ASC Topic 718, the economic interest holder is deemed to make a capital contribution to the Company, and the Company is deemed to make a share-based payment to the employee and contractors in exchange for services rendered.  Share-based payment transactions are recorded as the difference between the market value of the shares of stock, as determined by the price paid for shares of the Company stock by non-related parties on or about the date of the share-based payments, and the price originally paid for the stock by the related party and other holder of an economic interest in the company. 
 
    Per Share Amounts:    The Company computes earnings per share under ASC subtopic 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260-10”). Net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  In the event of a net loss, no potentiallydilutive common shares are included in the calculation of shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
    Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns: Revenue is recognized when all applicable recognition criteria have been met, which generally include (a) persuasive evidence of an existing arrangement; (b) fixed or determinable price; (c) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered; and (d) collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.
 
    Revenue is or may be derived from downloads of digital music, sales of gift cards for the downloading of digital music, and from the licensing of copyrighted song rights.  The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been downloaded or shipped and title and risk of loss have been transferred. For the Company’s online digital download sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is purchased and downloaded. The Company has implemented a no-refund policy.
 
    The Company currently has no customer incentive programs.  Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to add customer incentive programs and incur incremental price protection obligations that could result in additional reductions to revenue at the time such programs are offered. Additionally, certain customer incentive programs would require management to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive. Management’s estimates would be based on the specific terms and conditions of particular incentive programs. If a greater-than-estimated proportion of customers redeem such incentives, the Company would be required to record additional reductions to revenue.
 
F-22
 
 

 
 
    The Company sells music downloads at its website utilizing third-party vendors, such as PayPal, to process payments.  Sales are recognized when title and the risk of loss have been transferred to the customer.  The Company’s music download business had nominal sales from inception through 2011.
 
    Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update: In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The Company anticipates that this accounting standard will not have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
    In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income” effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. This accounting standard provides new disclosure guidance related to the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The Company anticipates that this accounting standard will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
    In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 defers changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASU 2011-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-12 to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
2.     Guaranteed Royalty Payments -MP3 Music
 
    During 2011, the Company entered into certain “Music Distribution Agreements” (“Agreements”), the terms of which are contractually confidential.   Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require non-refundable recoupable payments.   The Company expects to recoup certain of these costs through future sales of MP3 music.
 
    As of December 31, 2011, the Company has paid $225,000 in non-refundable recoupable payments. In addition to these payments, the Company is contractually obligated to pay $150,000 in non-refundable payments which are due on May 15, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has expensed $212,500 on a pro-rata basis to cost of sales per terms of the Agreements.  In addition, cost of sales includes $30,895 in non-recoupable music delivery fees.
 
 
F-23
 
 

 
 
 
3.    Advance Royalty Payments
 
Music Catalog
 
    In December 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement for the development of five master recordings (“Music Catalog Recording Agreement” or “Recording Agreement”).  Under this Recording Agreement, the Company paid $15,000 in each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 in non-refundable, fully recoverable advance royalty payments.  The Company is entitled to recover the advance payments from the proceeds of any revenue under the Recording Agreement.   
 
    The Company has capitalized the advance royalty payment under ASC 928. The payment is appropriately recorded as current and noncurrent, and charged to expense as the artist earns royalties.
 
    Any portion of the advance that subsequently does not appear to be fully recoverable from the artist’s future royalties, would be charged to current period expense in the period the loss becomes evident. No such charges were made in 2011 and 2010.
 
Publishing Catalog
 
    On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive songwriting agreement with a composer and the composer's co-publisher. 
 
    Under the terms of the agreement, in exchange for certain exclusive composer services and assignment of composer’s entire interest in all related works and materials, along with other conditions imposed on the composer and co-publisher, the Company agreed to pay certain non-refundable, fully recoverable advance payments, including, but not limited to $24,000 during the initial period of the term payable in equal monthly installments  at $2,000 per month, and 50% of all sums expended by Publisher in connection with independent promotion. 
 
    The Company is entitled to recover the advance payments from any and all royalties otherwise payable to the composer pursuant to terms of the agreement, including, but not limited to fifty percent (50%) of any and all gross receipts derived from uses of the Composition, with certain restrictions.  The term of the agreement consists of an initial period of one year ending February 29, 2012 with the mutual option to extend the term for two consecutive option periods of one year each.  In accordance with the agreement, the Company as the owner of these original music compositions and music copyrights has the right to license records or music to others, but has not licensed any rights as of this date. 
 
    For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has paid and capitalized $20,000 in songwriting costs under ASC 928. Under ASC 928, any advance royalty, where the past performance and current popularity of the artist provides a sound basis for estimating that the cost will be recovered from future sales, the payment is appropriately recorded as current and noncurrent, and charged to expense as the artist earns royalties.
 
    Any portion of the advance that subsequently does not appear to be fully recoverable from the artist’s future royalties, are charged to current period expense in the period the loss becomes evident. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were sales of $216 from recordings under the agreement and, accordingly, $216 in advance royalty payments were charged to expense.

4.    Distribution Agreement Stored-Value Gift Cards
 
    Effective May 26, 2011, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Interactive Communications International, Inc. (“InComm”).  InComm is a marketer, distributor and technology innovator of stored-value gift and prepaid products. The initial term of this agreement ends on January 1, 2013 and shall be automatically extended after this initial term for successive consecutive terms of one (1) year unless either party gives notice of termination.  The costs incurred for these stored-value gift cards will be capitalized as inventory.  The Company will recognize the revenue from its sales of these stored-value gift cards and charge its related inventory costs to costs of sales if and when its stored-value gift cards are sold.
 
    As of December 31, 2011, the Company has no gift card or other stored value products.
 
5.    Property and Equipment
 
    In May 2011, the Company purchased recording studio equipment (“Equipment”) from a shareholder of the Company in exchange for 200,000 shares of its common stock valued at $0.40 per share or a total valuation of $80,000.  Since the shareholder’s historical cost exceeded the market valuation of the equipment (based on research by the Company at time of purchase), and exceeded the cost calculated by using the value of shares paid, the Company has capitalized this equipment using the price of the shares paid or $80,000, plus the applicable shipping costs of $6,971 to move the equipment to Nashville. The equipment is available for use and is being depreciated on a straight line basis over 60 months.
 
    During 2011, the Company acquired an additional $34,592 of equipment and software.  The equipment and software is being depreciated on a straight line basis over 36 months.
 
    On June 7, 2011 the Company acquired $7,176 of office furniture. The office furniture is being depreciated on a straight line basis over 60 months.
 
    Equipment, software and office furniture consist of the following:

    Net operating loss carry-forwards approximate $2,195,054 and $682,099 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There are statutory limitations on the Company’s ability to realize any future benefit from the related potential tax assets, including a requirement that losses be offset against future taxable income, if any.  If the Company were to experience a change in ownership under Section 382, the Company may be limited in its ability to fully utilize its net operating losses.
 
    If not used, the carry-forwards will expire through 2030 and 2032.   The Company is uncertain as to whether it will ever utilize the operating loss carry-forwards.  Accordingly, the deferred tax assets of approximately $1,305,894 and $618,407 relating to the operating loss carry-forwards have been fully reserved as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The increase in the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset was approximately $687,487 during the period ended December 31, 2011.
 
    Deferred tax assets at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets are expected to be settled or realized.  A reconciliation of the U.S. federal tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:
 
Income tax provision at federal statutory rate:

    The Company is subject to examination by the IRS and various U.S. state and local jurisdictions for tax years 2009 to the present.

    Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of common stock a liquidation preference of $0.80 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock.  Neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange nor transfer of all or any part of our business or assets, nor the consolidation or merger of, our company with another shall be deemed a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company for purposes of the liquidation preference.  Following payment of the liquidation preference, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate with holders of the common stock pari passu in any distribution of cash or assets of our company on an “as converted” basis, as if the preferred stock had been converted into common stock.
 
    Each holder of Series A Preferred will have the right to convert, in such holder’s sole discretion at any time up to the date that such shares are automatically converted into common stock, its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, together with any accrued but unpaid dividends, into common stock.
 
    The Series A Convertible Preferred stock shall be automatically converted into common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, upon (i) receipt of an effective date for a registration statement filed with the SEC registering the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the underlying shares of common stock; (ii) one year from the date of closing of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) the last sales price of the common stock on a national securities exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or an equivalent market shall be at least $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days; (iv) the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of our assets; (v) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of our company with or into any other corporation or corporations which results in the issuance of more than 50% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction; or (vi)  the issuance of shares of capital stock representing more than 50% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before such transaction in one or a series of related transactions (any of such events, an “Automatic Conversion”).
 
     At any time that the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, whether automatically or at the option of the holder, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing:  (i) the sum of (A) $0.80 plus (B) any dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock which such holder is entitled to receive, but has not yet received; by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.  The Conversion Price at which shares of common stock shall initially be issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.40.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
Since our inception in 2009, we have issued an aggregate of 22,903,750 shares of our common stock without registering those securities under the Securities Act.  The following information describes the transactions in which those securities were issued:
 
In June 2009, in connection with our initial organization, we issued a total of 14,600,000 shares of our common stock to six individuals at a price per share of $0.001 per share, for a total of $6,500 in cash and personal property valued at $8,100.  The common stock was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
In July and August 2009, we issued an additional 650,000 shares of common stock to six individuals or entities, also in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  Of the total number of shares sold in that transaction, 100,000 were sold at a price of $0.025 per share and the remainder were sold for a price of $0.10 per share.
 
Between November 2009 and June 2010, we sold an additional 1,450,000 shares of common stock to a group consisting of 33 individuals or entities for a price of $0.25 per share, or total proceeds of $362,500.  In connection with these sales, we relied on the exemption provided by Rule 504 of the Securities Act.
 
In January 2010, we issued 60,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.25 per share to Accredited Members Holding Corporation (“AMHC”).   These shares were issued for services provided by that entity.
 
In September 2010, we entered into a Management Services Agreement with AMHC pursuant to which we agreed to issue that entity 125,000 shares of common stock per month for the first three months of the term and issue 62,500 shares and pay a stipulated sum of cash for the remainder of the term in exchange for management services to be provided to us, including accounting and financial services.  The 625,000 shares issued in connection with this agreement were valued at $0.40 per share, or aggregate consideration of $250,000.  We relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of these shares.

Between September 2010 and April 2011, we issued an additional 4,668,750 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1,867,500.  The shares were sold to a group of individuals and entities, each of which we reasonably believed was an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act.  In connection with the issuance of shares in these transactions, we relied on Rule 506 of the Securities Act.
 
Finally, between May and July 2011, we issued an additional 650,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $260,000.  We reasonably believed that each of the investors in this transaction was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501.  We relied on the exemption provided by Rule 506 in connection with the issuance of these shares.
 
Through June 29, 2012, we issued 993,750 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $0.80 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $795,000.  We reasonably believed that each investor in that transaction was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501.  We relied on the exemption provided by Rule 506 in connection with the issuance of those shares.
 
In each transaction in which we relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, we offered the securities to a limited number of persons with whom we had pre-existing relationships.  In each case, we endeavored to ensure that each of the offerees had access to the information that would have been included in a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act.  In addition, certificates representing all of the shares issued in these transactions contained the restrictive legend required by Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and we placed stop transfer restrictions with our transfer agent.
 
In each transaction in which we relied on Rule 504 or 506, we did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising.  We exercised reasonable care to ensure that the purchasers of securities were not underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, including making reasonable inquiry prior to accepting any subscription, making written disclosure regarding the restricted nature of the securities and placing a legend on the certificates representing the shares.  In each case, the offerees were provided with a subscription agreement detailing the restrictions on transfer of the shares and eliciting their investment intent.  Further, stop transfer restrictions were placed with our transfer agent and a restrictive legend was placed on the certificate in connection with these offerings.

Item 17.    UNDERTAKINGS.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
 
1.
File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
 
i.
Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
 
ii.
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
 
 
iii.
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

II-3
 
 

 
 
 
2.
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
 
3.
File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
 
4.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question, whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
5.
For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
 
 
i.
That each prospectus filed by the undersigned pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
 
ii.
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
 
iii.
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
