DEBUT
BROADCASTING CORPORATION, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2010
Note
1 - Organization
Debut
Broadcasting Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) is located in Nashville,
Tennessee and conducts business from its principal executive office at 1011
Cherry Avenue, Suite B, Nashville, TN 37203. The Company
relocated to the current office location on March 31, 2010. The
Company produces and distributes syndicated radio programs to radio stations
across the United States and Canada. In addition, the Company owns
and operates seven radio stations in Mississippi.
The
Company maintains radio syndication in Nashville and produces and distributes 14
radio programs, which are broadcast over approximately 1,400 radio station
affiliates. These radio programs have an estimated 40 million U.S.
listeners per week. In addition to its syndication services, the Company owns
and operates a multi-media studio with audio, video and on-line content
production capabilities. This facility is located on Music Row in
Nashville, Tennessee. The Company also provides marketing, consulting
and media buying (advertising) for its radio broadcast station customers in the
United States.
Note
2 - Basis of Presentation and Interim Results
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
and its subsidiaries. The interim financial statements of the Company have been
prepared without audit.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to
make the financial information presented not misleading. These condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009.
All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the
financial statements not misleading have been included. The results of
operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full year.
Accounts
Receivable
We use
the allowance method for determining the collectability of our accounts
receivable. The allowance method recognizes bad debt expense
following a review of the individual accounts outstanding in light of the
surrounding facts. Accounts receivable are reported at their
outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful
accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers’
ability to pay and economic trends. We write off accounts receivable
against the allowance when a balance is determined to be
uncollectible. Accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet
is stated net of our allowance for doubtful accounts.
Revenue
and Cost Recognition
The
Company recognizes its advertising and programming revenues for syndicated
programming when the Company’s radio shows air on its contracted radio station
affiliates. Generally, the Company is paid by a national advertising
agency, which sells the commercial time provided by the
affiliate.
As the
Company earns its revenue from the national advertising agency, it also
recognizes any amounts due to the individual shows, which are based on the
audience level generated by the specific program. Expenses are
accrued at the time the shows are run.

BROADCASTING CORPORATION, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2010
Note 2 - Basis of
Presentation and Interim Results (continued)
Consulting
projects are generally negotiated at a fixed price per project; however, if the
Company utilizes its advertising capacity as part of the consulting project, it
will charge the consulting client in the same manner as the affiliated
stations described more fully above. Consulting fee income is
recognized as time is incurred under the terms of the contract. The Company
recognizes its advertising and programming revenues for its owned and operated
radio broadcast stations when the advertising airs. Generally, the
Company is paid by the local advertiser for advertising
coordinated and contracted through a local employee sales
representative or sales manager.
Advertising
The
Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Total advertising costs
of $2,681 and $3,052 are included in the financial statements for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.
Total advertising costs of $17,420 and $12,722 are including in the financial
statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September
30, 2009, respectively.
Financing
We will
require additional capital to execute on our plan to grow through the
acquisition of radio stations and radio station clusters. We do not presently
have sufficient capital to make additional acquisitions. We intend to raise
additional capital over the next twelve months through additional equity
offerings.
Although
we are and will be unable to predict the precise terms of any financing until
the time that such financing is actually obtained, it is likely that any such
financing will fit within the following parameters:
·
|
None
of the indebtedness to which the Properties would be subject will be
recourse to the shareholders, although some or all of the indebtedness may
be recourse to us. However, each obligation will be secured by a first
lien and/or second lien security interest in the financed Property. It is
probable that all of our Properties will be subject to substantial
security interests.
|
·
|
We
expect any indebtedness will be first repaid with the operating revenues
of the Properties. Operating revenues will first be applied to the payment
of interest, principal amortization (if any), and principal on primary
indebtedness. Next, operating revenues will be applied to interest on and
principal of any subordinate
financing.
|
·
|
Each
of these financing arrangements may be subject to acceleration in the
event of default, including non-payment, insolvency, or the sale of a
Property. Upon an acceleration, if we are unable to effect an immediate
refinancing, we may lose one or more of our Properties by
foreclosure.
|
While
financing may initially be available only on a radio station by radio station
basis, we may eventually seek to refinance all of our Properties in one
non-recourse loan which will, in all likelihood, be secured by all of our
Properties.
In
connection with acquisitions, dispositions and financing, we will incur
appropriate accounting and legal fees.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September

Note 2 - Basis of
Presentation and Interim Results (continued)
Governmental Regulation of
Radio Broadcasting
The following is a brief summary of
certain provisions of the Communications Act, the Telecom Act, and related FCC
rules and policies (collectively, the "Communications Laws"). This description
does not purport to be comprehensive, and reference should be made to the
Communications Laws, public
notices, and decisions issued by the FCC for further information concerning the
nature and extent of federal regulation of radio broadcast stations. Failure to
observe the provisions of the Communications Laws can result in the imposition
of various sanctions, including monetary forfeitures and the grant of a
"short-term" (less than the maximum term) license renewal. For particularly
egregious violations, the FCC may deny a station's license renewal application,
revoke a station's license, or deny applications in which an applicant seeks to
acquire additional broadcast properties.
License Grant and Renewal.
Radio broadcast licenses are granted and renewed for maximum terms of
eight years. Licenses are renewed by filing an application with the FCC.
Petitions to deny license renewal applications may be filed by interested
parties, including members of the public.
Service Areas. The
area served by AM stations is determined by a combination of frequency,
transmitter power, antenna orientation, and soil conductivity. To determine the
effective service area of an AM station, the station’s power, operating
frequency, antenna patterns and its day/night operating modes are required. The
area served by an FM station is determined by a combination of transmitter power
and antenna height, with stations divided into classes according to these
technical parameters.
Class C
FM stations operate with the equivalent of 100 kilowatts of effective radiated
power (“ERP”) at an antenna height of up to 1,968 feet above average
terrain. They are the most powerful FM stations, providing service to a large
area, typically covering one or more counties within a state. Class B FM
stations operate with the equivalent of 50 kilowatts ERP at an antenna height of
up to 492 feet above average terrain. Class B FM stations typically
serve large metropolitan areas as well as their associated suburbs. Class A
FM stations operate with the equivalent of 6 kilowatts ERP at an antenna height
of up to 328 feet above average terrain, and generally serve smaller cities
and towns or suburbs of larger cities.
The
minimum and maximum facilities requirements for an FM station are determined by
its class. FM class designations depend upon the geographic zone in which the
transmitter of the FM station is located. In general, commercial FM stations are
classified as follows, in order of increasing power and antenna height:
Class A, B1, C3, B, C2, C1, C0, and C.
The
following table sets forth the market, call letters, FCC license classification,
antenna elevation above average terrain (for FM stations only), power and
frequency of all of our owned and operated stations as of September 30,
2010

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September

Note 2 - Basis of
Presentation and Interim Results (continued)
Compliance
with Environmental Laws
We have
not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with
environmental laws.
Note 3. Going
Concern
These
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies
Debut Broadcasting will continue to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of Debut
Broadcasting as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial
support from its shareholders, the ability of Debut Broadcasting to obtain
necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of
profitable operations. As of September 30, 2010, Debut Broadcasting has
accumulated losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt
regarding Debut Broadcasting’s ability to continue as a going concern. These
financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary should Debut Broadcasting be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Note 4 - Initial Adoption of
FIN 48
We
adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”)(“ASC 740-10”)(“ASC 810-10”),
on May 17, 2007. As required by the provisions for the topic of Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes of FASB ASC, our interpretation increases
the relevancy and comparability of financial reporting by clarifying the way
companies account for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a
consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear
criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring such tax
positions for financial statement purposes. The interpretation also requires
expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income
taxes. We do not believe that the timing of the adoption of FIN 46
has created any material differences in comparability between the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, and the nine months ended September 30,
2010.
Note 5 - Loss Per
Share
We
present basic loss per share on the face of the condensed consolidated balance
sheets. As provided by FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,”
(Formerly SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”) basic loss per share is calculated
as income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period.
On January 2, 2008, the Company awarded
options to purchase 342,055 shares of its common stock to employees and valued
contractors. These options were awarded at a strike price of $0.86
per share and vest ratably over five years. The options will be
accounted for utilizing the Black-Scholes method of
valuation.
On
January 21, 2008, the Company issued to Remington Partners, Inc. a warrant to
purchase 62,500 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share, with an expiration date three years after the date of
issuance.
On
February 26, 2008, the Company issued to Remington Partners, Inc. a warrant to
purchase 125,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $1.00
per share, with an expiration date three years after the date of
issuance.

Results
of Operations
For
the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
We
generated $566,743 in net revenue for the quarter ended September 30,
2010, an increase of $40,941, or 7.2% compared to $525,802
for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. National sales have continued to
recover from the economic collapse of 2009, largely accounting for the increase
in revenue.
Advertising
expense was $2,681 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $371
or 12.16%, compared to $3,052 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
The company has not utilized any public relations firms or investor relations
firms, which has resulted in an overall decrease in advertising
expense.
Operating
expenses were $386,793 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010; a decrease of
$214,788 or 35.7%, compared to $601,581 for the quarter ended September 30,
2009. Approximately$90,000 of this decrease is attributable to
staffing and salary and other expense reductions in Debut Mississippi related to
an LMA agreement that shifted the operating costs of three Greenville, MS
stations to the lessee. Operational restructuring and cost elimination in
areas such as telecommunications and other general and administrative expenses
additionally contributed to the decrease in operating expense.
On August
22, 2002, the company signed an unsecured promissory note with Citadel
Broadcasting to alleviate pass through bad debt due to the temporary collapse of
the national advertising market in late 2001. Over the life of the
agreement, the company made principle and interest payments to Citadel
Broadcasting totaling $350,467. During the three months ended September
30, 2009 the company settled the agreement, resulting in a one time gain on
settlement of $340,539.
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $30,123 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010; a
decrease of $16,712 or 35.6%, compared to $46,835 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009. The primary reason for the decrease relates to the total
depreciation of several assets as well as delayed growth in asset
acquisitions.
Interest
expense was $48,292 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010; a slight decrease
of $5,207 or 9.73% compared to $53,499 for the quarter ended September 30,
2009. The decrease is due to the steady pay down of all
debts.
As a
result of the foregoing revenue and expenses, our overall net income or (loss)
for the three-month period ending September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was
$100,326 and $166,510, respectively.
For
the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
We
generated $1,506,546 in net revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2010, a decrease of $77,651, or 4.9%, compared to $1,584,197 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. In March of 2010, the company entered into an
LMA agreement for three owned radio stations in Greenville,
Mississippi. The company does not record revenue or attributable
expenses from these stations. This agreement accounts for the full
decline in revenue.
Advertising
expense was $17,420 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 an increase of
$4,698 or 36.93% compared to $12,722 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. This increase is due to staffing restructuring, and advertisements
placed in 2010 to recruit high quality personnel to the company.
Operating
expense was $1,382,201, a decrease of $404,325 or 29.3%, compared to $1,786,526
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Of the total decrease in operating
expenses, approximately $270,000 is related to salary and expense reductions
largely as a result of the leasing arrangement for three of our radio stations
in Greenville, MS, executed at the beginning of the second quarter of 2010.
Additional reasons for the decrease in operating expenses relate to a decrease
in travel and entertainment expenditures of approximately
$19,500. The balance of the reduction in operating expenses is
attributable to general restructuring and elimination of general and
administrative expenses.

On August
22, 2002, the company signed an unsecured promissory note with Citadel
Broadcasting to alleviate pass through bad debt due to the temporary collapse of
the national advertising market in late 2001. Over the life of the
agreement, the company made principle and interest payments to Citadel
Broadcasting totaling $350,467. During the nine months ended September 30,
2009 the company settled the agreement, resulting in a one time gain on
settlement of $340,539.
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $71,406 for the nine months ended September 30,
2010; a decrease of $62,703 or 46.7% compared to $134,109 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. The primary reason for the decrease relates to
the total depreciation of several assets as well as delayed growth in asset
acquisitions.
Interest
expense was $139,612 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010; a decrease of
$66,798, or 32.4% compared to $206,410 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. The reason for the decrease is the continued payment of current debt
and the gradual amortization of the interest costs associated with the
debt.
As a
result of the foregoing revenue and expenses, our overall net loss for the nine
month period ending September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $98,536 and
$206,154, respectively.
Financial
Condition
Accounts receivable, net of allowance
for doubtful accounts was $987,789 at September 30, 2010, a increase of $152,487
or 15.5% compared to $835,302 at December 31, 2008. Seasonality, and
the increase in sales revenue from the syndication business is largely
attributable to the increase in the accounts receivable balance.
Unexercised Stock warrants was
$1,052,523 at September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009In accordance with FAS
133, we record an associated asset and liability for the issuance of warrants,
which is adjusted quarterly using the Black-Scholes method
of derivative valuation.
Accounts payable at September 30, 2010
was $939,294, an increase of $7,173 or .8% compared to $932,121 at December 31,
2009. We decreased our accounts payable balance in the third quarter
as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009, utilizing cash flow from
operations.
Accrued expenses and taxes at September
30, 2009 were $436,811, an increase of $288,278 from December 31,
2009. This increase is attributable to accrued contracts for radio
advertising that are in the process of internal audit to test
compliance.
In January and February of 2008, we
exercised two loans with Remington Partners, Inc. for a total of $750,000 in
notes payable to stockholders. In the first quarter of 2010 the note was
restructured, and $375,000 was converted to stock. As a result,
our notes payable to stockholders were $375,000 at September 30, 2010
and $750,000 at December 31, 2009.

Liquidity and
Capital Resources
As of
September 30, 2010, our current assets in the amount of $2,054,170, consisted of
$37,863 in cash and cash equivalents, $987,789 in accounts
receivable, $23,860 in prepaid expenses and $1,004,658 in unexercised
stock warrants. As of September 30, 2010, our current liabilities in the amount
of $3,402,598, consisted of $939,294 in accounts payable, $436,811 in
accrued expenses and taxes, $375,000 in notes payable to stockholders, $268,460
in lines of credit and $347,510 in current portion of long term debt, and
$1,035,523 in unexercised stock warrant loss. This combination of assets and
liabilities resulted in a working capital deficit in the amount of
$1,348,428.
Going
Concern
Our financial statements are prepared
using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund
operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate
capital, we could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going
concern, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Our
plan is to aggressively grow revenue in order to meet minimal operating expenses
and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However we cannot provide any
assurances that that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our
plans.
Our ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans
described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of
financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are
unable to continue as a going concern.
Recent
Events
Pending
Acquisitions
During
the fourth quarter of 2010, we signed asset purchase agreements for two
additional radio stations in two markets. One of these stations, KLSM
FM, was placed under a local marketing agreement March 16, 2008. We
filed for FCC license transfer for KLSM FM in Vicksburg, MS, and WNBV FM in
Grundy Virginia during the fourth quarter of 2010.
Material
Contracts
During
the fourth quarter of 2010 the company and Dial Global, a national advertising
representation firm, and the largest account of the company, determined to end
their contract on December 26, 2010. On October 13, 2010, the company
signed a three year agreement with United Stations, a national advertising
representation firm located in Chicago, Illinois, replacing the former contract
with Dial Global.
Significant
Employees
During
the fourth quarter of 2010 Marcus Rowe, Vice President
of Network Operations departed the company. The
company believes that Rowe is engaging in tortious libel, and competition with
the company using trade secrets and converted intellectual
property. The company is seeking legal remedy to the fullest extent
of the law.
On
November 5, 2010, Chuck Hillier joined the company to fill the role of Vice
President of Network Operations. The company anticipates that the
addition of Hillier will result in increased revenue beginning in the first
quarter of 2011.

Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
September 30, 2010, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Revenue and Cost
Recognition
We
recognize advertising and programming revenues when our radio programs air with
our contracted radio station affiliates. Generally, we are paid by a
national advertising agency, which sells the commercial time provided by the
affiliate.
We earn
revenue from the national advertising agency, we also recognize any amounts
attributable to the individual radio programs, which are based on the audience
level generated by the specific program. Expenses are accrued at the
time the radio programs are run.
Consulting
projects are generally negotiated at a fixed price per project; however, if we
utilize our advertising capacity as part of the consulting project, we will
charge the consulting client in the same manner as the affiliated stations
described more fully above. Consulting fee income is recognized as
time is incurred under the terms of the contract.
Advertising
We
expense advertising costs as they are incurred.
New Accounting
Pronouncements
We
adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), on May 17,
2007. This interpretation increases the relevancy and comparability
of financial reporting by clarifying the way companies account for uncertainty
in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold
and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently
recognizing, derecognizing and measuring such tax positions for financial
statement purposes. The interpretation also requires expanded
disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.
Item
4T. Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this
report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure
that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files
or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms
of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the
following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which
are indicative of many small companies with small staff: inadequate segregation
of duties and effective risk assessment. Management anticipates that
such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material
weaknesses are remediated.
-25-
We plan
to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over
financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form
10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified
above. We will be unable to remediate these material weaknesses until
we achieve a growth level sufficient to support financial and accounting staff
to adequately segregate duties. We do not anticipate remediating this
weakness in 2010.
Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our
company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur
because of simple error or mistake.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has
been no change in the internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of ss.240.13a -15 or
ss.240.15d -15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the Company's last
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
