DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

GENERAL

 

The Movie Studio, Inc. F/K/A Destination Television, Inc. (“the Company" or “DSTV” or the "Registrant”) is a publicly traded vertically integrated motion picture production company that develops, manufactures and distributes independent motion picture content for worldwide consumption on a multitude of devices.

 

The Company is a broadcast media company that used its custom content and entertainment-based programming along with its proprietary technology to influence the purchasing decisions of millions of active consumers in targeted “away-from-home” leisure destinations.

 

The Company’s original core broadcast business was Bar TV, Gym TV, and Hotel TV, which were designed and implemented to focus on leisure destinations with entertaining and informative audio and video content, increasing the duration and frequency of consumer visits and duration of stay, generating incremental revenue and promoting the sale of specific products.  The Company enabled advertisers and leisure/retailers to effectively and efficiently reach active consumers at the point of sale (POS) where most purchase decisions are made. In addition to influencing consumer behavior, the Company’s programming was proven to be successful in generating brand awareness and could create additional sales lift. The Company’s business motto was “Leisure Destinations driving traffic to Retail Locations.”

 

Over the years, the Company surveyed the media landscape, combining the best aspects of each medium into the DSTV’s business model, simultaneously applying it to a very unique physical space.  In 2008, the US advertising industry consolidated, including digital signage space, because the industry did not provide a quantifiable measurement platform for its advertisers; at that time, The Company began to reorganize its business model.  In 2009, The Company took the first steps in transitioning its core business operations into a new media platform, which included incorporating elements of its original media business model into its new business, The Movie Studio.  In 2010, the Company took the next step, when it physically began transitioning its core business to the new platform. The Movie Studio platform consists of three verticals that operate synergistically with each other. Strategic Partner, is the first of the three verticals.  In this vertical, the Company enters into agreements with substantial asset partners, wherein these partners can promote their brand, product, or service through the Movie Studio, which can offer them, through the its vertical integration model, a variety of opportunities, as a result of their association with the movie business.  Each partner agreement is crafted in the best interest of the client’s needs or objectives.  

 

Locations Pay Us is the second vertical, wherein we get paid for filming a scene of our movie at the location of a client. The excitement generated from  motion picture production at given location can drive traffic to the client’s point of sale (POS); as a result, the Company and the client both benefit from this arrangement .  In addition, the Company utilizes its win-a-part-in-a-movie contest at the location; it also provides digital plates to the client’s location, which can utilize the key art shot of the location as base artwork for web, print or television at no additional cost in perpetuity.  Clients have reported that their locations have seen double digit increases in their margins on the night of the filming event. Product Placement is the third vertical. The motion picture product placement industry is a two billion dollar industry; companies utilize this platform to create worldwide brand awareness for their brand, product or service, with the average movie impact of fifteen (15) years (in five year distribution cycles). In addition, these companies provides us products that we utilize at movie events for PPG (on premise promotional giveaways); they also gain additional branding exposure in direct interaction with the brands exact demographic.

 

The value proposition for investors is in the bi-product of manufacturing of a major motion picture asset(s), which reduces capital expenses (CAP X) by utilizing these vertical in the manufacturing of the intellectual property (movie) asset.  The completed movie then employs a significant expense to revenue ratio, by utilizing these metrics. The motion picture asset is ultimately licensed to seventy (70) countries around the world (foreign market) and domestically in the traditional media outlet channels, movie theaters, television, DVD, pay cable, Video on Demand (VOD) mobile etc. In addition the motion picture integrates a soundtrack, which creates an additional revenue stream for investors.  The Company has proven the business model on all three verticals prior to opening up The Movie Studio, a 7200 Sq. Ft. state of the art production studio in downtown Ft. Lauderdale,

complete with 24X36 green screen, infinity wall, edit suites, complete motion picture manufacturing lighting and equipment, cameras make-up station, talent division, and in-house marketing. The Movie Studio has manufactured its first feature film production for Ventures Capital Partners, LLC. Is titled Exposure starring Corey Feldman and is currently in pre-production of the sequel Double Exposure. In addition, The Movie Studio can generate additional revenue streams from studio rentals and music video production. The Company

is currently fully operational and implementing its business model to scale the Companies operations in 2013 and beyond. The Company changed its name of operations from Destination Television, Inc. to The Movie Studio, Inc. mOn June 9, 2014 FINRA approved the new symbol MVES.

 

 

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

 

Film Studio:

 

The Movie Studio, Inc. is an entertainment or motion picture company that has its own privately owned studio facility that is used to make films, which is handled by the production company.  The majority of companies in the entertainment industry have never owned their own studios, but have rented space from other companies.  There are also independently owned studio facilities, which have never produced a motion picture of their own because they are not entertainment companies or motion picture companies – they are companies who sell only studio space.

 

Beginnings:

 

In 1893, Thomas Edison built the first movie studio in the United States when he constructed the Black Maria, a tarpaper-covered structure near his laboratories in West OrangeNew Jersey, and asked circus, vaudeville, and dramatic actors to perform for the camera. He distributed these movies at vaudeville theaters, penny arcades, wax museums, and fairgrounds. The pioneering  film studio was founded in New Rochelle, New York in 1909 by American theatrical impresario Edwin Thanhouser. The company produced and released 1,086 films between 1910 and 1917, successfully distributing them around the world. The first film serial ever, Million Dollar Mystery, was released by the Thanhouser Company in 1914. In the early 1900s, companies started moving to Los Angeles, California. Although electric lights were by then widely available, none were yet powerful enough to adequately expose film; the best source of illumination for motion picture production was natural sunlight. Some movies were shot on the roofs of buildings in Downtown Los Angeles. Early movie producers also relocated to Southern California to escape Edison's motion picture patents company, which controlled almost all the patents relevant to movie production at the time.

 

The first movie studio in the Hollywood area was Nestor Studios, opened in 1911 by Al Christie for David Horsley. In the same year, another 15 independents settled in Hollywood. Other production companies eventually settled in the Los Angeles area in places such as Culver CityBurbank, and what would soon become known as Studio City in the San Fernando Valley.

 

An independent film is a professional film production resulting in a feature film that is produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system. In addition to being produced and distributed by independent entertainment companies, independent films are also produced and/or distributed by subsidiaries of major film studios. Independent films are sometimes distinguishable by their content and style and the way in which the filmmakers' personal artistic vision is realized. Usually, but not always, independent films are made with considerably lower film budgets than major studio films.  Generally, the marketing of independent films is characterized by limited release, but can also have major marketing campaigns and a wide release. Independent films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals before distribution (theatrical and/or retail release). An independent film production can rival a mainstream film production if it has the necessary funding and distribution.

 

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND THEIR MARKETS

(b) Locations Pay US a fee for placement in the movie, which can monetize our platform at their point of sale (POS).

 

(c) Product Placement: we receive a fee for product placement in a movie, product branding, and on premise promotional giveaways (PPG). In addition the Product Placement client receives digital plates and the same benefits as Location Pay US a fee client receive (see (b) above).

 

(d) At the American Film Market in November 2011, the Company established significant motion picture arrangement for worldwide distribution, to provide investors an exit strategy for (1) their movie partnership investment units and (2) shareholdings in the Company.  In May 1, 2012, we have entered into an exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with Cinema Arts Entertainment, with minimum guarantees (MG’s) that sales will total $520,000 for the first 10 markets.

 

(e) The completed movie then employs a significant expense to revenue proposition by utilizing these metrics and licenses the motion picture asset to seventy (70) countries around the world (foreign market) as well as domestically in traditional media outlet channels, movie theaters, television, DVD, pay cable, video on demand (VOD) mobile etc. In addition the motion picture integrates a soundtrack that creates an additional revenue stream for investors.

 

In addition, the Company provides locations digital plates and green screen application for use in movies, commercials, for the location, web-applications and print that can significantly monetize the location, while 360 degree media branding at the location can be an applicator for the location in a variety of ways:

DISTRIBUTION METHODS

 

Film distribution methodsA distributor is a company or individual responsible for the marketing of a film. The distributor may set the release date of a film and the method by which a film is to be exhibited or made available for viewing: for example, directly to the public either theatrically or for home viewing (DVDvideo-on-demand (VOD), downloadtelevision programs through broadcast syndication etc.). A distributor may do this directly, if the distributor owns the theaters or film distribution networks, or through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-distributors. A limited distributor may deal only with particular products, such as DVDs or Blu-ray, or may act in a particular country or market.

Theatrical distribution:

If a distributor is working with a theatrical exhibitor, the distributor secures a written contract stipulating the amount of the gross ticket sales to be paid to the distributor by the exhibitor (usually a percentage of the gross) after first deducting a floor, which is called a house allowance (also known as the nut), collects the amount due, audits the exhibitor's ticket sales, as necessary, to ensure the gross reported by the exhibitor is accurate, secures the distributor's share of these proceeds, and transmits the remainder to the production company (or to any other intermediary, such as a film release agent).

The distributor must also ensure that enough film prints are struck to service all contracted exhibitors on the contract-based opening day, ensure their physical delivery to the theater by the opening day, monitor exhibitors to make sure the film is in fact shown in the particular theatre with the minimum number of seats and show times, and ensure the prints' return to the distributor's office or other storage resource also on the contract-based return date. In practical terms, this includes the physical production of film prints and their shipping around the world (a process that is beginning to be replaced by digital) as well as the creation of posters, newspaper and magazine advertisementstelevision commercials, trailers, and other types of ads.

The distributor is also responsible for ensuring a full line of advertising material is available on each film which it believes will help the exhibitor attract the largest possible audience, create such advertising, if it is not provided by the production company, and arrange for the physical delivery of the advertising items selected by the exhibitor at intervals prior to the opening day.

 

If the distributor is handling an imported or foreign film, it may also be responsible for securing dubbing or subtitling for the film, and securing censorship or other legal or organizational approval for the exhibition of the film in the country/territory in which it does business, prior to approaching the exhibitors for booking. Depending on which studio is distributing the film, the studio will either have offices around the world, by themselves or partnered with another studio, to distribute films in other countries. If a studio decides to partner with a native distributor, upon release, both names will appear. The foreign distributor may license the film for a certain amount of time, but the studio will retain the copyright of the film.

Early distribution windows:

Although there are numerous distribution techniques today, previous to the multi-channel transition, studios and networks did not experiment with different distribution processes. Studios believed that the new distribution methods would cause their old methods of revenue to be destroyed. Within time, the development of new distribution did prove to be beneficial. The studios revenue was gained from myriad distribution windows. These windows created many opportunities in the industry and allowed networks to make a profit and eliminate failure. These new distribution methods benefited audiences that were normally too small to reach and expanded the content of television. With the new age of technology, networks accepted the fact that it was a consumer demand industry and accepted the new models of distribution.

Non-theatrical distribution:

This term, used mainly in the British film industry, describes the distribution of feature films for screening to a gathered audience, but not in theatres at which individual tickets are sold to members of the public. The defining distinctions between a theatrical and a non-theatrical screening are that the latter has to be to a closed audience in some way, e.g. pupils of a school, members of a social club or passengers on an airliner, and that there can be no individual admission charge. Most non-theatrical screening contracts also specify that the screening must not be advertised, except within the group that is eligible to attend (e.g. in a membership organization’s newsletter or an in-flight magazine).

The largest market for non-theatrical distribution is probably the airlines, followed by film societies. Non-theatrical distribution is generally handled by companies that specialize in this market, of which Film bank [1] is Britain's largest, representing the major Hollywood studios. Home video media is sold with a license that permits viewing in the home only (hence the copyright notice that appears at the start of many VHS tapes and DVDs, which states that the content must not be shown in oil rigs, prisons or schools). Until these technologies were widespread, most non-theatrical screenings were on16mm film prints supplied by the distributor. Today, the most common business model is for a distributor to sell the exhibitor a license that permits the legal projection of a copy of the film, which the exhibitor buys separately on a home video format. These licenses can either be for individual, one-off screenings, or cover an unlimited number of screenings of titles represented by that distributor for a specified time period. The latter are often purchased by pubs and students' unions, to enable them to show occasional feature films on a TV in their bars.

Home video distribution:

Some distributors only handle home video distribution or some sub-set of home video distribution such as DVD and/or Blu-ray distribution and now the fastest growing area id Video on Demand (VOD). The remaining home video rights may be licensed by the producer to other distributors or the distributor may sub-license them to other distributors.

If a distributor is going to distribute a movie on a physical format such as DVD, they must arrange for the creation of the artwork for the case and the face of the DVD and arrange with a DVD replicator to create a glass master to press quantities of the DVD.

Today, some movie producers are using a process called DVD-on-demand. In DVD-on-demand, a company will burn a DVD-R (a process called duplication) when a copy of the DVD is ordered, and then ship in to the customer.

A distributor may also maintain contact with wholesalers, who sell and ship DVDs to retail outlets as well as online stores, and arrange for them to carry the DVD. The distributor may also place ads in magazines and online and send copies of the DVD to reviewers.

The newest area Video on Demand (VOD) is expected to grow as a result of new media devices, mobile phones, PDA’s, tablets and I-Pads as additional ways individuals consume content.

 

The New Hollywood/Foreign Distribution:

 

In the past, big studios have not always used analysis, analytics, metrics or measurement; but that is not true any longer.  Companies such as Relativity Media use a new Hollywood approach that is vastly more technical than preparing an analysis of how many people actually attend the theater as a result of buying a ticket. Their approach now accounts for thousands of variables, from the stars of a movie to its release date to the type of media used in production, and compares each of those variables to nearly every film ever made with at least one of the same attributes. It takes four people just to operate the program that governs their approach.

New Hollywood companies employ a movie-rejection system, not a movie-picking system, while the data-intensive approach operates on a new paradigm of new media marketing and buzzworthy elements intertwined into the infrastructure of the movie. Big studios are swinging for the fences, and they lose money on 85 percent of the movies they make; they don’t have a hedge against those losses, so they need the one or two franchise movies each year to make up for the money losers. New Hollywood studios have hedges; they make movies that people will love, but also on a financially based system. They don’t take huge risks.

ITEM 1A.             RISK FACTORS

 

Lack of Profitable Operating History

 

The Company does not have a history of profitable operation. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the Company:

 

• has funds available for working capital, project development and sales and marketing efforts;

• has funds for the continuous upgrading of its production operations and facilities;

• achieves the projected sales revenues;

• controls the Company’s operating expenses;

• continues to attract new business; and

• withstands competition in the Company’s marketplace.        

 

9

 

 

 


 
 

 

Competition

The Company’s competitors are rapidly changing and may be well capitalized and financially stronger than Destination Television.  Our competitors could reproduce the company’s business model without significant barriers to entry.

 

The Company’s activities may require additional financing, which may not be obtainable.

 

The Company had limited cash deposits. Based on the Company’s expectations as to future performance, the Company considers these resources and existing and anticipated credit facilities, to be inadequate to meet the Company’s anticipated cash and working capital needs at least through December 31, 2013. The Company, however, expects to be able to raise capital to fund the Company’s operations, current and future acquisitions and investment in new program development. The Company may also need to raise additional capital to fund expansion of the Company’s business by way of one or more strategic acquisitions. Unless the Company’s results improve significantly, it is doubtful that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital for any purpose if and when the Company needs it.

 

The Company depends heavily on the Company’s senior management who may be difficult to replace.

 

The Company believes that the Company’s future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of its chairman, CEO, and other key executives. Any of these executives would be difficult to replace. While all of them have incentives to remain with the Company, they are not bound by employment contracts, and there is no assurance that either of them will not elect to terminate their services to us at any time.

 

Increasing the Company’s business depends on the Company’s ability to increase demand for the Company’s products and services.

 

While the Company believes that there is a market for its planned increase in the Company’s products and services, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its choice of product or technology or that consumer demand will increase as the Company anticipates.

 

The Company may be exposed to significant costs of defense and damages in litigation stemming from current unresolved legal proceedings undertaken in the future by and against the Company.

 

The Company could be subject of legal proceedings against the Company that could give rise to significant exposure in costs and damages.

 

The Company’s ability to operate and compete effectively requires that the Company hires and retain skilled marketing and technical personnel, who have been in short supply from time to time and may be unavailable to us when the Company needs them.

 

The Company’s business requires us to be able to continuously attract, train, motivate and retain highly skilled employees, particularly marketing and other senior management personnel. The Company’s failure to attract and retain the highly trained personnel who are integral to the Company’s sales, development and distribution processes may limit the rate at which the Company can generate sales. The Company’s inability to attract and retain the individuals the Company needs could adversely impact the Company’s business and its ability to achieve profitability.

 

The Company may suffer from a business interruption and continuity of its ongoing operations might be affected.

 

The Company’s ability to implement its business plans may be adversely affected by any business interruption that will affect the continuity of its operations. While the Company may take reasonable steps to protect itself, there could be interruptions from computer viruses, server attacks, network or production failures and other potential interruptions that would be beyond the Company’s reasonable control. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will prevent all such interruptions. Any of the foregoing events may result in an interruption of services and a breach of the Company’s obligations to its clients and customers or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.

 

 

10

 

 

 


 
 

 

 

Macro-economic factors may impede business, access to finance or may increase the cost of finance or other operational costs of the Company.

 

Changes in the United States and global financial and equity markets, including market disruptions, interest rate fluctuations, or inflation changes, may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain financing for its operations or investments or increase the cost of obtaining financing.  In the event that the Company is delayed in attaining its projections, borrowing costs can be affected by short and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent ratings agencies which are based, in significant part, on the Company’s performance as measured by credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. Decrease in these ratios or debt ratings would increase the Company’s cost of borrowings and make it more difficult to obtain financing.

 

There is a limitation on the officers and directors liability.

 

The articles of the Company limit the personal liability of directors and officers for breach of fiduciary duty and the Company provides an indemnity for expenses and liabilities to any person who is threatened or made a party to any legal action by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the Company unless the action of proven to that the person was liable to be negligent or misconduct in the performance of their duty to the Company.

 

The loss of our key officers or directors may raise substantial doubt as to the continued viability of the Company.

 

The Company’s operations depend on the efforts of key officers and directors and the loss of their services may irreparably harm the Company in such a manner that it may not be able to overcome any such loss in management.

 

Investors may lose their entire investment if the Company fails to implement its business plan.

 

The Company expects to face substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties because it is a development stage company. The Company was formed in 1961. The Company has no demonstrable operations record of substance upon which you can evaluate the Company’s business and prospects. The Company prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has had only limited startup operations and has generated very small revenues. Considering these facts, independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, the Company’s lack of operating capital could negatively affect the value of its common shares and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

 

Because of our new business model, we have not proven our ability to generate profit, and any investment in The Company is risky.

 

We have very little meaningful operating history so it will be difficult for you to evaluate an investment in our stock.  We have not sold any of our products to date.  Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We cannot assure that we will ever be profitable.  Since we have not proven the essential elements of profitable operations, you will be furnishing venture capital to us and will bear the risk of complete loss of your investment in the event we are not successful.

 

We may be unsuccessful in monitoring new trends.

 

Our net revenue might decrease with time. Consequently, our future success depends on our ability to identify and monitor trends and the development of new markets. To establish market acceptance of a new technologies, we will dedicate significant resources to research and development, production and sales and marketing. We will incur significant costs in developing, commissioning and selling new products, which often significantly precedes meaningful revenues from its sale. Consequently, new business can require significant time and investment to achieve profitability. Prospective investors should note, however, that there can be no assurance that our efforts to introduce new products or other services will be successful or profitable.

We may face distribution and product risks.

 

Our future financial results depend in large part on our ability to develop relationships with our customers. Any disruption in our relationships with our future customers could adversely affect our financial performance. 

 

We may face claims of infringement on intellectual property rights.

 

Other parties may assert claims of ownership or infringement or assert a right to payment with respect to the exploitation of certain intellectual properties against us. In many cases, the rights owned or being acquired by us are limited in scope, do not extend to exploitation in all present or future uses or in perpetuity. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in any of these claims. In addition, our ability to demonstrate, maintain or enforce these rights may be difficult. The inability to demonstrate or difficulty in demonstrating our ownership or license rights in these technologies may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from or use of these intellectual property rights.

 

If our operating costs exceed our estimates, it may impact our ability to continue operations.

 

We believe we have accurately estimated our needs for the next twelve months. It is possible that we may need to purchase additional equipment, hire additional personnel, and further develop new business ventures, or that our operating costs will be higher than estimated.  If this happens, it may impact our ability to generate revenue and we would need to seek additional funding.  We intend to establish our initial client base via existing relationships that our directors and officers have established in past business relationships.  Should these relationships not generate the anticipated volume of business, any unanticipated costs would diminish our working capital.

 

Competitors with more resources may force us out of business.

 

Competition in our sectors of business come from a variety of factors, including quality, timely commissioning of new projects, product positioning, pricing and brand name recognition.  The principal competitors for our business may do this better than we can. Each of these competitors has substantially greater financial resources than we do. New technologies may also present substantial competition. We may be unsuccessful in competing with these competitors, which may materially harm our business.

 

The Company may not be able to attain profitability without additional funding, which may be unavailable.

 

The Company has limited capital resources. Unless the Company begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, the Company may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force the Company to cease operations if additional financing is not available.

Plan of Operation

 

The Movie Studio, Inc. F/K/A Destination Television, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1961 under the name Magic Fingers, Inc. By amendment of its certificate of incorporation, the Company's name was changed in 1999 to Magicinc.com and in April 2002 to Magic Media Networks, Inc. and in February 2007 to Destination Television, Inc.  In November of 2012, the Company filed an amendment to change its name to The Movie Studio, Inc. Through the period ended October 31, 1999, the Company devoted substantially all its efforts to reorganizing its financial affairs and settling its debt obligations. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2000 and October 31, 2001, the Company was engaged primarily in the planning and development of an interactive network to provide entertainment via the Internet. Subsequent to October 31, 2001, the Company redirected its business focus to the development of a private television network, in high traffic locations such as bars and nightclubs. During the development process, the Company received incidental revenue from the sale of advertising and the production of commercials.

For the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, we reported a net loss of $148,784 and $172,319, respectively, a decrease in net loss of $23,535. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue of $295,824, partially offset by an increase in total expenses of $272,289.

 

For the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, we reported revenues of $295,824 and $-0-, respectively.

 

Total expenses for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 were $444,608 and $172,319, respectively, an increase of $272,289, or 158%.  This increase is primarily attributable of an increase of $269,089 in selling and general administrative expenses.

 

Interest expense increased $3,200 for the year ended October 31, 2013 to $$39,644 from the $36,464 reported for the prior fiscal year. This increase results from an overall increase in in debt obligations during the year ended October 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the year ended October 31, 2013, we used $71,381 for operating activities, as compared to $133,000 used for operations for the year ended October 31, 2012.

 

Historically, we have financed our business primarily from the receipt of cash from financing activities.  During the year ended October 31, 2013, we received proceeds of $56,000 from the issuance of common stock and $23,374 from related party loans made to the Company.

 

At October 31, 2013, we reported total liabilities of $2,587,676, all of which is current and due within one year.  The liability total consists of loans payable to an entity owned by a shareholder and officer of the Company, of $1,371,463. This entity assumed the debt due to Dr. Terry for an equity interest in the entity owned by the shareholder and officer.  The Company was also indebted to its president and CEO in the amount of $803,698; $733,216 of this amount represented unpaid wages and the balance of $70,482 represents funds he advanced to the Company for working capital purposes.

 

At October 31, 2012, we reported total liabilities of $2,489,307, all of which was current and due within one year.  The liability total consists of loans payable to an entity owned by a shareholder and officer of the Company, of $1,353,420. This entity assumed the debt due to Dr. Terry for an equity interest in the entity owned by the shareholder and officer.  The Company was also indebted to its president and CEO in the amount of $772,705; $680,597 of this amount represented unpaid wages and the balance of $47,108 represents funds he advanced to the Company for working capital purposes.

 

We also owe the Internal Revenue Service approximately $412,500 for unpaid payroll taxes (approximately $375,000), interest, and penalties.  The Company did submit an Offer in Compromise to substantially reduce the liability; however, the Internal Revenue Service rejected our initial Offer in Compromise.  We have appealed the Internal Revenue Service’s rejection, and we continue to negotiate with the Internal Revenue Service to resolve all outstanding issues related to the unpaid payroll taxes.  All payroll tax obligations incurred during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 have been paid.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Our requirements for capital expenditures should not exceed $10,000 for year ended October 31, 2013.

 

Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations during 2013 and 2012.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during 2013 and 2012.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2013, the accounting guidance was amended for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings, for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendment was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and was applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists, which states that entities should present the unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of the deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) or similar tax loss or tax credit carry forward rather than as a liability when the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carry forward under the tax law. The Company will be required to adopt this new standard on a

 

15

 

 


 
 

 

prospective basis in the first interim reporting period of fiscal 2015, though early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). It outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2014, accounting guidance was updated for stock-based awards when the terms of an award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The current accounting standard for stock-based compensation as it applies to awards with performance conditions should be applied. This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition of the award. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as it relates to such awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact the Company’s consolidated statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows.  Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We prepared our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we are required to make judgments, assumptions and estimates, which we believe are reasonable and prudent based on the available facts and circumstances.  These judgments, assumptions and estimates affect certain of our revenues and expenses and their related balance sheets.  On an on-going basis, we re-evaluate our selection of assumptions and the method of calculating our estimates. Actual results, however, may materially differ from our calculated estimates and this difference would be reported in our current operations. Our critical accounting policies include income taxes and stock-based compensation for services.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes, which requires accounting for deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred income tax asset and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may file income tax returns in various U.S. state and local jurisdictions.  Generally the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2005. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. This policy also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different entities.  It must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption and the cumulative effect, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to stockholder’s equity as of January 1, 2009.  Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that the adoption of this policy did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. However, management’s conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

Stock-Based Compensation for Services

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  FASB ASC Topic 718 requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).  That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period).  No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available).  If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.  No employee stock options or stock awards vested during 2013 or 2012 under FASB ASC 718.

 

Nonemployee awards    

 

The fair value of equity instruments issued to a nonemployee is measured by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the date of either: (i) a commitment for performance by the nonemployee has been reached; or (ii) the counterparty’s performance is complete.  Expenses related to nonemployee awards are generally recognized in the same period as the Company incurs the related liability for goods and services received.  The Company recorded stock compensation of approximately $-0- and $-0- during the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to consulting services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To The Board of Directors and shareholders of

The Movie Studio, Inc.

Hollywood, Florida

 

 

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Movie Studio, Inc. (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audits.  I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has a minimum cash balance available for payment of ongoing operating expenses, has accumulated deficits of $9.5 million, and it does not have a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

 

Note 1 – Description of Business

 

The Movie Studio, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware 1961 under the name Magic Fingers, Inc. The company is a vertically integrated motion picture production company that develops, manufactures and distributes independent motion picture content for worldwide consumption on a multitude of devices.

 

The Company has operated under various names since incorporation, most recently Destination Television, Inc. from February 2007 to November 2012, when the name was changed to The Movie Studio, Inc.

 

From October 31, 2001, the Company’s focus was on the developing a private television network, in high traffic locations such as bars and nightclubs. During this development period, the Company received incidental revenue from the sale of advertising and the production of commercials.  In 2010, the Company began implementation of its current business model, using the technology previously developed for the private television network.

 

Note 2 – Summary of significant Accounting Policies                 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Movie Studio, Inc. (Formerly Destination Television, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary Destination Television, Inc., a Florida corporation. All significant inter-company account balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. There were no impairment charges during the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, approximate their carrying amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition at October 31, 2013 and 2012.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Income Taxes

 

 


 

 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes, which requires accounting for deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred income tax asset and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Note 2 – Summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income Taxes (continued)

 

In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may file income tax returns in various U.S. state and local jurisdictions.  Generally the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2005. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. This policy also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different entities.  It must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption and the cumulative effect, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to stockholder’s equity as of January 1, 2009.  Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that the adoption of this policy did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. However, management’s conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. 

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components.  FASB ASC Topic 220 requires the Company’s change in foreign currency translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive loss, and is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  FASB ASC Topic 718 requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).  That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period).  No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available).  If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.  No employee stock options or stock awards vested during 2013 or 2012 under FASB ASC 718.

Note 2 – Summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

 

Nonemployee awards    

 

The fair value of equity instruments issued to a nonemployee is measured by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the date of either: (i) a commitment for performance by the nonemployee has been reached; or (ii) the counterparty’s performance is complete.  Expenses related to nonemployee awards are generally recognized in the same period as the Company incurs the related liability for goods and services received.  The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $-0- and $-0- during the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to consulting services.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the accounting guidance was amended for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings, for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendment was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and was applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists, which states that entities should present the unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of the deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) or similar tax loss or tax credit carry forward rather than as a liability when the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carry forward under the tax law. The Company will be required to adopt this new standard on a

prospective basis in the first interim reporting period of fiscal 2015, though early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). It outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2014, accounting guidance was updated for stock-based awards when the terms of an award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The current accounting standard for stock-based compensation as it applies to awards with performance conditions should be applied. This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

 


 

 

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition of the award. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as it relates to such awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and may be applied prospectively

or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact the Company’s consolidated statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows.  Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per common share incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents on an average basis during the period.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The accompany financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that Destination Television, Inc. will continue in operation for a least one year and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

Several conditions cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.   The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $9.5 million as of October 31, 2013, has no cash available for payment of operating expenses, no source of revenue, and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to continued progress in the pursuit of business opportunities.  The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained.  In the interim, the principal shareholder has committed to meeting any operating expenses incurred by the Company. The Company believes that actions it is presently taking to revise its operating and financial requirements provide it with the opportunity to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  While we believe that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of going concern assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.  If the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the reported liabilities.

Note 4 - Acquired Amortizable Intangible Assets

As of October 31, 2006, the Company invested $3,280 in establishing trademarks associated with its concept of placing TV’s in bars, hotels and gyms. The Company amortizes the costs of these intangibles over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are also tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment, at least annually, and written down to fair value as required.

Expected annual amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets is as follows:

Note 5 - Income Taxes 

The Company has approximately $9.5 million in net operating loss carryovers available to reduce future income taxes. These carryovers expire at various dates through the year 2033. The Company has adopted FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which provides for the recognition of a deferred tax asset based upon the value the loss carry-forwards will have to reduce future income taxes and management's estimate of the probability of the realization of these tax benefits. The Company's management determined that it was more likely than not that the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards would not be utilized; therefore, a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset has been established.

A summary of the deferred tax asset presented on the accompanying balance sheets is as follows:

ITEM 9A.             CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 -     Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly    

        reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

 

-          Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

-          Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

As of October 31, 2012 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in this annual report.
