MASS HYSTERIA ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, INC.
 (A Development-Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. ("MHe", “Mass Hysteria” or the “Company”). MHe is an innovative motion picture production company that produces branded young adult film content for theatrical, DVD, and television distribution. Over the next twelve months, Mass Hysteria will be creating movies that will take advantage of traditional revenue streams that are still viable, and at the same time, identifying those revenue streams that will define new media's involvement in the film business such as downloading applications to smart phones that will allow the theater-goer to "participate" with the on-screen experience.  We are seeking patent protection of processes that we will use to distribute interactive media.  We will outsource development of our own mobile applications; however, our success will depend on our ability to raise capital, as well as generate revenues from our current operations (also see Note 3).  There are technology and competitive risks associated with interactive mobile devices and theatrical films.
 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Mass Hysteria have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to our financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2010 have been omitted. 
 
Development-Stage Company
 
On August 5, 2009, the Company entered into the development stage with its intended new business, which currently has minimal revenues. Management expects to sustain losses from operations until such time it can generate sufficient revenues sufficient to meet its anticipated cost structure. The Company is considered a development-stage company in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 – “Development-Stage Entities.” Upon distribution of the Company’s products, it will exit the development stage. The nature of our operations is highly speculative, and there is consequently a risk of loss of your investment.  The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition, and management of the identified business opportunity.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates that require the Company's most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation and capitalization of script costs.
 
The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are considered reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
 
Convertible Debt with Ratchet Provisions
 
We have convertible debt which contains rights that allow the holders to adjust their conversion price in the event the Company issues common stock at a price per share below their conversion price.  Accordingly, the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” apply and must be evaluated by us. ASC 815 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result of adopting ASC 815, the conversion feature of our $42,500 convertible short-term debt is not afforded equity treatment, but rather is treated as a liability, due to the ratchet provisions contained within. The Company recorded a derivative liability of $19,699 associated with this note. The estimated fair value will be reassessed at the end of each reporting period and an adjustment will be made to this liability when applicable. Also see Note 10 for an additional note issued on March 1, 2011.

Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  To date, such expenses have not been significant.
 
Patent Costs
 
Patents give their owners exclusive rights to use or manufacture a particular product.  The costs associated with obtaining the patent (eg. legal fees, registration fees, search fees, etc.) should be amortized over its useful life (not to exceed 20 years).  The cost of a patent does not include the research and development costs incurred in seeking the knowledge necessary for the patent.  Costs to date related to patents have been insignificant.
 
Convertible Debt
 
Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC 740 “Beneficial Conversion Features”. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued.
 
Stand-Ready Obligation
 
The Company provides guarantees for film financing and accounts for such under ASC 460 “Guarantees”.  The Company’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of underperformance by the related film does not include a specified term unless otherwise noted in the agreement, as the term is linked to the timeline in which the film is completed and revenues are derived from the film.  Commitments made by the Company to guarantee returns of investment for films are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer.  The Company will not relieve the stand-ready obligation until it is probable that such stand-ready obligation will expire without cost to the Company.  In the event our Chief Executive Officer determines that it is probable that a liability related to the guarantee will be incurred, we will record a provision for loss at that time.  See Note 6 for discussion of our stand-ready obligation.
 
Loss per Share
 
Loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At February 28, 2011, the Company’s dilutive securities outstanding consisted of (1) the CEO’s options to purchase shares of common stock (see Note 8), for which the exercise price is above the average closing price of the Company’s common stock and thus excluded under the treasury method; (2) 6,768,447 shares relative to convertible notes to a related party (post conversion) beginning in February 2015; and (3) approximately 12,235,170 shares relative to a short term convertible note (post conversion) beginning in September 2011.
 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is a development-stage company, has limited available capital, has limited revenues from intended operations, suffered losses since inception and has used cash in operations since Inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking debt or equity capital to meet our obligations and business needs. There is no assurance that future capital raising plans will be successful in obtaining sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
 
NOTE 4 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
 
Accrued liabilities by major classification are as follows:

Accrued interest represents interest on a long-term loan from a related party, and the interest on a short-term note payable from an external party.  Accrued consulting fees are for script writers and a film consultant.
 
Consulting Agreement
 
In August 2009, the Company entered into a one year engagement agreement with successful comedy writer Pat Proft to hire him as the Senior Vice President of Comedy.  His role was to create and write our movies.  Per the terms of his engagement, Mr. Proft received 200,000 shares of our common stock, and an initial monthly fee of $10,000 for a minimum of one year.  During March 2010, a new agreement was negotiated which reflected that Mr. Proft would be paid half of this monthly fee in the form of stock compensation – retroactive from January 2010.  As of the quarter ended February 28, 2011, accrued cash and stock compensation totaling $15,000 and $40,000, respectively, was due to Mr. Proft and included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.  This agreement terminated in August 2010.   
 
Employment Agreement
 
On December 17, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement with our President and CEO which provides for a base salary of $360,000 per year, payable semi-monthly for a period of five years, expiring December 17, 2014.  Among other things, the employment agreement calls for periodic increases in the base salary and bonuses based upon performance.  The agreement also allows for the Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to provide for medical insurance and a contribution to a retirement benefit plan.  The President and CEO was also awarded options to purchase common stock.  See Note 8.  During the year ended November 30, 2010, the President and CEO voluntarily forgave $82,000 of accrued wages, which the Company recorded to equity as contributed services. 
 
Based on the CEO’s employment agreement, the Company accrues $30,000 per month for gross wages, and pays these wages at various times as capital becomes available. As of February 28, 2011, accrued wages due the CEO were $122,731 and are reflected as accrued payroll on the accompanying balance sheet.
 
During the period from December 2009 through February 28, 2011, the Company paid certain accrued salaries to its CEO which were not reported on Internal Revenue Service Form W-2.  In the event the Company is audited by federal or state agencies, certain assessments for taxes, penalties and interest may be assessed.  In connection therewith, the Company has accrued approximately $36,800 for possible assessments.
 
NOTE 5 - BORROWINGS
 
Related Party
 
Since July 2009, a significant stockholder of the Company has made advances on behalf of the Company and purchased predecessor convertible debt totaling $305,430, as of November 30, 2009.  During the quarter ended February 28, 2010, $55,268 of convertible debt acquired by this related party, as part of the recapitalization and change in ownership, was converted into 5,900,000 shares of common stock for full satisfaction of the liability.  During the quarter ended February 28, 2010, the holder advanced the Company $88,199 in working capital for operations.  Cumulative advances as of February 28, 2010 were established in a convertible note totaling $338,362.  Such note is convertible into 4,229,512 common shares, based on $0.08 share price.  The convertible note bears interest at 6% per annum, and is due February 28, 2015.  During the quarter ended May 31, 2010, the holder advanced the Company an additional $75,383, for which an additional note agreement was effected.  Such note is convertible into 1,507,660 common shares based on a fixed conversion price of $0.05, interest at 6% per annum, due May 31, 2015. During the quarter ended August 31, 2010, the holder advanced the Company an additional $33,511, for which an additional note agreement was effected, which dictates that the note will be convertible into 837,775 common shares based on a fixed conversion price of $0.04, interest at 6% per annum, due August 31, 2015. During the quarter ended November 30, 2010, the holder advanced the Company an additional $5,805, for which an additional note was effected, which indicates that the note will be convertible at a fixed conversion price of $0.03 per share, interest at 6%, per annum.  The notes are to be immediately convertible; no beneficial conversion feature was deemed applicable at the date of issuance.  There was no borrowing from this holder during the current quarter. As of February 28, 2011, the Company has accrued $34,475 of interest expense related to these related-party notes.
 
Short-term Debt
 
On July 13, 2010, the Company borrowed $60,000 from a shareholder for use as operating capital.  Both parties entered into a loan agreement which makes the Company liable for repayment of the principal and 15%, per annum, interest within a 12month period following the execution of the loan agreement.  As of February 28, 2011, the Company has incurred and accrued $5,671 of interest expense related to this short term debt.

Short-term Convertible Debt
 
On February 23, 2011, the Company borrowed $42,500 from an external party for use as operating capital.  The parties entered into convertible note payable agreements which make the Company liable for repayment of the principal and 8% annual interest by the agreements’ expiration date of November 28, 2011. Failure to repay principal or interest when due triggers a default interest rate (from notes’ inception date) of 22%, annually, on the unpaid amount.
 
After 180 days, the note is convertible into common stock at a 41% discount offthe average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for the Company’s common stock within the ten (10) days preceding the conversion.
 
These notes contain a “ratchet” provision, which protects the note holders in case the issuer sells stock during the term of the notes for a per-share price which is less than the effective conversion rate. Due to this ratchet provision, and with the floor at par value,  these notes are considered to contain a derivative instrument associated with the embedded conversion feature. This liability is recorded on the face of the financial statements as “derivative liability”, and must be revisited each reporting period for revaluation based on the stock’s current market value.
 
The Company discounted the note by the fair market value of the derivative liability upon inception of the note.  This discount will be amortized and accreted back to the face value of the note over the note term. The Company irrevocably authorized its stock transfer agent to reserve an initial number of shares (15,889,831) for issuance upon conversion.
 
In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company calculated the fair market value of this embedded conversion feature on the date of the note signing, using the Black Scholes Model, and discounted the note by this amount.  Using the Black Scholes pricing model variables listed below, the fair market value of the embedded conversion feature on the date of note issuance was $19,669, leaving a notes payable balance of approximately $22,831 at the date of the note issuance and a derivative liability of $19,669. The Company will amortize the debt discount over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
On September 1, 2009, the Company entered into a sublease for its office space with Charter Consulting Group, Inc. (owned by a significant stockholder of the Company). The sublease is month to month at a rate of $4,818. Included within the sublease is various other office expenses including phone equipment rental and phone services, among others.  In addition, the Company paid a security deposit of $9,636.  
 
On October 5, 2010, the Company entered into a guarantee agreement with Carjacked Entertainment, LLC (“CE”) and Carjacked Entertainment Investments, LLC (“CEI”) in which the Company guaranteed repayment of up to $250,000 of the investment provided by the financier - Wet Rose Productions, LLC. As consideration, the Company would receive a $50,000 “guarantor fee” upon close of production funding for the motion picture – Carjacked.  Funding closed on December 23, 2010, and the Company was entitled $50,000 based on the terms of the agreement. As of February 28, 2011, $25,000 had been received by the Company and the remaining $25,000 resides on the accompanying balance sheet as a receivable.  Because the Company may be obligated to perform on this guarantee at a later date, the $50,000 has been recognized as a stand-ready obligation in the accompanying balance sheet.  Management estimates that any potential obligation will not be within the next year, and accordingly, the liability is shown as long-term. Also see Note 9.
 
On November 1, 2010, the Company entered in to an “option/purchase” agreement with Richard Taylor (the “Writer”) in which the Company would be granted the exclusive right and option (“Option”) to acquire all motion picture, television and allied and ancillary rights to the Writer’s screenplay – “Bad Monday”. The initial term of this agreement is one year; however the Company would have the option to extend this option agreement for two additional years. As consideration, the Company would pay the Writer $2,000 for the initial term, and $3,500 and $7,500 for each respective extended year chosen.  If the Company exercises this Option, the Writer would be paid a purchase price of between $40,000 and $100,000, depending on the final production budget for the motion picture.  Additionally, the Writer would be entitled to 5% of the net proceeds of the picture, and an additional 2.5% of net proceeds if the Writer received shared writing credit on the picture.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Convertible Notes
 
On March 1, 2011, we borrowed $12,500 from an external party for use as operating capital.  The parties entered into convertible note payable agreements which make the Company liable for repayment of the principal and 8% annual interest by the agreements’ expiration date of November28, 2011. Failure to repay principal or interest when due triggers a default interest rate (from notes’ inception date) of 22%, per annum, on the unpaid amount.

After 180 days, the note is convertible into common stock at a 41% discount of the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for the Company’s common stock within the ten (10) days preceding the conversion.  As such, the Company discounted the note by the fair market value of the related beneficial conversion feature of each note.  This discount will be amortized and accreted back to the face value of the note over the term.  As this note agreement was initially approved on February 23, 2011, we did not receive funding until March 1, 2011, thus could not record the liability until the cash was received.
 
On March 31, 2011, we entered into a long term convertible note agreement with a single accredited investor pursuant to which we issued a 2% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000. The note has a maturity date of December 28, 2014. Beginning September 27, 2011, the note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.016 per share. The proceeds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.  As a result, we will be liable to issue up to 12,500,000 shares common stock upon conversion.
 
Issuance of Series A Preferred Shares
 
On April 5, 2011, our Board approved the issuance of 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to our CEO, Dan Grodnik, in consideration of $10,000 of accrued compensation due Mr. Grodnik.  The Board’s sole director determined and approved the fair market value of these shares to be $1.00 per share.  The shares were issued on April 13, 2011.
 
On April 13, 2011, pursuant to a resolution passed by our director under the authority of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to create and set for the terms of a series of preferred stock of the Company known as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock do not have any preferential dividend or liquidation rights. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemable.Pursuant to the certificate of designation establishing the Series A Preferred Stock, on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, as of the record date for the vote, or, if no such record date is established, as of the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, and (c) 0.0002.
 
The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock effectively transferred voting control of the Company to Mr. Grodnik.
 
Issuance of Common Stock
 
On April 6, 2011, our Board approved the appointment of VSTOCK TRANSFER, LLC as transfer agent, registrar and disbursing agent for the Company.  Furthermore, our Board approved the issuance of 500,000 shares common stock in consideration of services provided by the transfer agent for the initial 12 months of services as transfer agent.  The stock will be fully vested when issued; hence the Company will record a stock compensation expense of $10,000, based on a market price of $0.02 on the date of grant.

(“THE COMPANY”, “WE”, “US” OR “OUR”) TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. REFERENCES IN THIS FORM 10-Q, UNLESS ANOTHER DATE IS STATED, ARE TO FEBRUARY 28, 2011.

General

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

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

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

Plan of Operation For The Next Twelve Months

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

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

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS

RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2011 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010

Revenues.  We had revenues of $37,500 for the three months ended February 28, 2011, and no revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2010.  Our revenues in the first three months of 2011 were primarily related to film production revenues.

General and Administrative Expenses.  Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $224,364 in the three months ended February 28, 2011 from $284,489 in the comparable period in 2010.  The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced share based compensation in the three months ended February 28, 2011.

Interest Expense.  Our interest expense increased to $10,674 in the three months ended February 28, 2011 from $4,636 in the comparable period in 2010.  This increase is attributable to increased borrowings during the period.
 
Loss from Operations.  Our net loss from operations decreased to $197,538 for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from $293,072 for the comparable period in 2010.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues as well as the decrease in general and administrative expenses.    

The lack of significant revenue in both periods is a direct reflection of the change of control and introducing a new focus and business plan.  As the new Company meets its business plan goals, we expect to generate more revenue in the future. In the interim period from August 5, 2009 to February 28, 2011, the Company has been assembling its new management team, developing its marketing and merchandising strategies and generally starting a new business. 
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had total assets of $189,225 as of February 28, 2011, consisting of $54,422 in cash, $2,006 in net fixed assets, $95,250 in capitalized film costs, $9,750 in other assets, and $27,797 in other receivables. We had a working capital deficit of $374,913.
 
We had total liabilities of $969,943 as of February 28, 2011, consisting of $466,882 in current liabilities, which included $71,007 of accounts payable; accrued wages of $122,731; short term debt of $60,000; short term convertible debt, net of discount of $23,349, various accrued liabilities of $170,096 and derivative liability of $19,699.  In addition, since August 2009, a related party has been providing capital for expenses, and purchased predecessor notes, which had a balance of $453,061 as of February 28, 2011.  We also have a stand ready obligation of $50,000.
 
We had a total stockholders’ deficit of $780,718 as of February 28, 2011, and an accumulated deficit as of February 28, 2011 of $6,210,870.
 
We had $11,142 in net cash provided in operating activities for the three months ended February 28, 2011, which included $197,538 in net loss and $25,000 in accounts receivable, which amounts were offset by $60,000 in share-based compensation, $548 in accretion of discount on note payable, $34,543 in accounts payable, $246 of prepaid expenses, $50,000 in stand ready obligations and $88,082 in accrued liabilities.
 
We had no cash provided by investment activities in the three months ended February 28, 2011.

We had $42,500 of net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2011, which included $42,500 in short term convertible debt.
 
On March 31, 2011, we issued a 2% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000. The note has a maturity date of December 28, 2014.  Beginning September 27, 2011, the note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.016 per share. 
 
Since we have no liquidity and have suffered losses, we depend to a great degree on the ability to attract external financing in order to conduct our business activities and in order that we have sufficient cash on hand to expand our operations.   These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources, including increases in related party loans and/or additional sales of additional stock, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. We have no commitments to provide us with financing in the future, other than described above.  Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
11

 
 
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when it approaches a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders. We cannot assure you, however, that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

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

Revenue Recognition:  

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is assured.  We had $37,500 in revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2011 and no revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2010 relating to continuing operations.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:

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

None.
 
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. They were deemed not effective due to adjustment and disclosure omissions identified by our Independent Registered Public Accounting firm. The Company will continue to take steps to identify matters of accounting and disclosure.

(b)   Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.
 
INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS
 
Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting 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 our assets;
 
-  
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
-  
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Management does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemable.  Pursuant to the certificate of designation establishing the Series A Preferred Stock, on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, as of the record date for the vote, or, if no such record date is established, as of the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, and (c) 0.0002.
 
The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Grodnik (see Item 2 above) effectively transferred control of the company to Mr. Grodnik.
