Item 1.        BUSINESS.
 
Introduction

Brick Top Productions, Inc., is a corporation organized on February 20, 2009, under the laws of the State of Florida.  The Company was organized for the purpose of financing, producing and distributing to third parties one or more television series and feature films to be licensed for exploitation in domestic and international theatrical, television, cable, home video and pay per view markets.  We will need to raise additional capital to implement our current business plan.

We have completed pre-production and post-production of a television pilot titled “The Doorman”.  The Doorman is our only project to date; we have not acquired the rights to any other screenplays.  We are actively interviewing persons to serve as a show runner for the pilot.  A “show runner” is a person that is responsible for presenting a television pilot or idea for sale to major television networks through his or her professional industry contacts. Show runners are only paid if and when a show is sold to a network, at which point we would receive revenue. The show runner’s compensation would be a predetermined fee set in his or her agreement with the company. This fee will be anywhere from 3 to 5% of the total commitment that the network will pay for the project. This process can take anywhere from approximately 3 months to as long as 36 months from the date of project completion. Nicholas Turturro, the writer and producer of the pilot, has estimated that the project will be marketable for approximately 4 to 6 years, at which point the market demand for the actors associated with the project may become stale. The company intends to market the project for four to six years based on Mr. Turturro’s opinion. This opinion is based solely on Mr. Turturro’s past industry experience. Mr. Turturro’s opinion may prove to be incorrect and the project may not be marketable for as long as he believes it will.

We have reviewed and are discussing the acquisition of the rights to a screenplay written by Nicholas Turturro titled “Bless Me Father.” We intend to finance, produce and sell the distribution rights once we have the additional capital necessary to do so. We expect total project costs to be approximately $300,000. We would expect this project to be facilitated either through our subsidiary York Productions LLC, or a newly organized subsidiary. The budget for this project would consist of approximately $17,000 for writers and scripts, $10,000 for a Line Producer, $30,000 for a Director, $105,000 for the cast, $10,000 for travel/living expenses, $17,000 for production staff, $10,000 for set design and construction, $5,0000 for lighting, $10,000 for camera and sound operators, $12,000 for wardrobe and hair/makeup, $22,000 for transportation, $27,000 for locations/unit expenses and $25,000 for post-production, editing  and music. While we believe the acquisition of the rights to “Bless Me Father” would require no initial cost based on Mr. Turturro’s existing relationship with the current owner, who would be compensated 20 percent of any profit generated by the project, at this point we have neither acquired said rights nor entered into a contract to acquire said rights, so there can be no guarantee that we will be able to acquire said rights or that we will be able to acquire them on the foregoing terms. We can begin development as soon as we raise the additional necessary capital required to fund this project. This project would take approximately 6 months from acquisition of the rights to completion of post-production. Upon completion we would attempt to pre-sell the distribution rights abroad, at no additional cost to the Company in order to generate revenue and fully or partially cover the costs of the project. This phase of the project would take approximately 90 - 120 days to complete if successful.

We are actively seeking additional opportunities to finance television and film projects.  Ultimately, our goal is to pursue the production of one or more feature films utilizing prominent actors.  The costs of such projects typically range from approximately $200,000 to as much as $10,000,000 and can take as little as 3 months to as long as 1 year to complete. Major television and film projects often provide the opportunity to pre-sell exclusive distribution rights to overseas territories, thereby hedging part of the project cost.  At any given time there are thousands of scripts for screenplays that are circulating throughout the motion picture industry, all of which are seeking financing, production and/ or distribution. Overseas territories will pay for the exclusive rights to distribute a particular film. These rights can be pre-sold to hedge the cost of the film. There is no determining body that sets the pricing. There is a constantly changing guideline that is determined by an actor’s marketability and what his or her films have recently commanded for distribution rights. This merely represents a set of guidelines that is a starting point for negotiations. Initially this will be our primary method of distribution. In the event we are able to pre-sell international distribution rights for a project we will then look to secure domestic distribution of the project. Our goal is to raise capital through an equity offering which will enable us to acquire the rights to finance, produce and contract distribution of these projects. The costs will vary per project, determined by the level of talent, location and scope of the production. The pre-sale of distribution rights is applicable only to full length feature film projects and does not apply to television projects such as The Doorman.

We have explored and negotiated an agreement for the construction of a platform necessary to disseminate content (a series of 5-10 minute shorts) via a smart phone application.  We already have over 75 minutes of completed footage from filming “The Doorman”.  The estimated cost is approximately $50,000. The first step is analysis and design which will cost $6,000 and take approximately 2 weeks. The development (coding) will cost $30,000 and take approximately 2 months to complete. The quality control will cost $10,000 and take approximately 1 week. The final step is deployment which will cost $4,000 and will be completed in three days. We will require additional capital to complete this project. Our goal is to advertise our link through various social networking sites which will drive traffic to our site which in turn will create a desirable advertising venue. This part of the project will not require additional capital and will take approximately 3 to 5 months. We anticipate this entire process to take approximately 6 to 8 months from start to completion at which time we would expect it to begin generating revenue.

On April 4, 2009, we entered into an Option Agreement with Jonathan Christopher, LLC (the “Option Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, we paid Jonathan Christopher, LLC $189,000 for rights to acquire its screenplays that could be produced into commercially salable motion pictures. The amount paid was to be refunded to us in the event we elected not to exercise our option to acquire said screenplays. Prior to the end of fiscal 2009, we terminated our rights under the Option Agreement.

The Initial Project – “The Doorman

Our CEO was introduced to Nicholas Turturro through a friend who was a childhood friend of Mr. Turturro’s cousin.  Mr. Turturro was searching for financing to film a television pilot titled The Doorman.  The pilot is about his experiences as a New York City doorman while trying to become an actor.  After extensive discussions, the parties elected to move forward with the project. In June 2010, we acquired the rights to the project from Mr. Turturro’s company Nick Nick, Inc., through our majority-owned subsidiary York Productions, LLC. We completed the process of developing the screenplay into a television pilot in September 2010. The total cost was approximately $85,000. The screenplay was written by Nicholas Turturro, who was involved in the development and production of the project, and is involved in its marketing. We are in the process of hiring a show runner in the Hollywood, CA area in an effort to sell The Doorman project to a television network. Show runners are paid only when the show is sold to a network at which point we would receive revenue. This process can take anywhere from approximately 3 months to as long as 36 months from the date of project completion.  Nicholas Turturro has estimated that the project will be marketable for approximately 4 to 6 years from the date of this prospectus, at which point the market demand for the actors associated with the project may become stale. This opinion is based solely on Mr. Turturro’s past industry experience. If we are able to sell the rights to The Doorman the proceeds received would likely provide the capital necessary to complete a full season of episodes (approximately 10-12).

Nicolas Turturro

Nicholas is an accomplished American film, television and on-stage character actor. He has garnered an Emmy nomination for a role played on the TV program NYPD Blue, and has acted in numerous feature films, one of which is currently in pre-production and another of which is in post-production.  Mr. Turturro plays the lead character in the pilot The Doorman, and produced the pilot through his company Nick Nick, Inc.

Mr. Turturro has an ownership interest, through Nick Nick, Inc., in our majority-owned subsidiary York Productions, LLC, but is not currently under contract to provide further services to the Company.

Description of The Doorman

The Doorman is an urban dramatic comedy set in New York City. It is centered on the life experiences of a doorman at a historic and upscale Central Park South hotel. The doorman and his colorful cast of friends, through interactions with one another and the hotel’s upper class celebrity and high society guests, provide a unique perspective of everyday life in the big city and of the similarities and distinctions between the classes. Mr. Turturro often describes the project as a mix between Diner and Swingers.

Investment Structure

The rights to The Doorman are owned by York Productions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“York Productions”). Our principals serve as the managers of York Productions, and control the company’s financing and day to day operations.  

In consideration for a 40% interest in York Productions Mr. Turturro contributed all rights to The Doorman project to the company.  We received a 60% interest in York Productions in consideration for our obligation to fund the pre-production, production, and post production of the pilot, at a total cost of approximately $75,000.

Any proceeds generated from the pilot will be allocated pro-rata among the Company and Mr. Turturro. The foregoing terms are the result of arms-length negotiations among the parties involved.

Competition

We face stiff competition from other participants in the television and motion picture business, including major networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS, for example, and major studios such as Sony, Miramax, Paramount Pictures Corporation, Universal Pictures, and Columbia Pictures, for example, which have access to funding substantially greater than that which is available to us.

Employees

As of the date of this prospectus our two officers are our only employees. Additional employees will be hired in the future as our business expands.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of Company include the accounts of Brick Top Productions and its majority-owned subsidiary, York Productions, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Income Taxes. The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

Development Stage Company.  The Company is a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and, therefore, still qualifies as a development stage company. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

Capitalized Pilot Costs - Film Property and Screenplay Rights.  The Company capitalizes costs it incurs to buy film or transcripts that will later be marketed or be used in the production of films according to ASC 926, Entertainment – Films. The Company will begin to amortize capitalized film cost when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from the film.

Non-Controlling Interest.  The Company follows paragraph 810-10-65-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report the non-controlling interest in York Productions, LLC, its majority owned subsidiary in the consolidated statements of balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity.  Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, York Productions, LLC.  Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company.” This election will permit us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that will have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies.   Upon the issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt said accounting standard.  We may take advantage of the extended transition period until the first to occur of the date we (i) are no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period.  Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.  
 
For additional discussion regarding the JOBS Act and the exemptions available to “emerging growth companies” thereunder, please refer to the risk factor entitled “We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if we will be able to maintain such status or if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors” contained in the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.”

As of December 31, 2012, our total assets were $303,262 and our total liabilities were $247,015 and we had negative working capital of $(243,861). Our financial statements report a net loss of $141,361 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a net loss of $311,641 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a net loss of $967,859 for the period from February 20, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012.

Pursuant to the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Bafer, we are obligated to pay Mr. Bafer $150,000 per year. On October 1, 2011, Mr. Bafer agreed to waive future base salary under his employment agreement, until further notice, in an effort to reduce our operating expenses.  Prior to that, we did not have sufficient cash flows to make the required payments under the agreement and therefore accrued all unpaid salary until such time we generate revenues from operations or raise additional capital through one or more financing transactions.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard, we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions, and, in the short term, will seek to raise additional capital in such manners to fund our operations.  We do not currently have any third party financing available in the form of loans, advances, or commitments.  Our officers and shareholders have not made any written or oral agreement to provide us additional financing.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise capital on terms and conditions that are deemed acceptable to us.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2013, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012

The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company.” This election will permit us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that will have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012.

Report of Management on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, was not effective, primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has only two employees, only one of whom has a background in accounting, and lacks segregation of duties.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our Board of Directors has not yet appointed an audit committee, a compensation committee, or a nominating and corporate governance committee due to the small size of the Company and our Board. We have no current plans to establish an independent audit committee, compensation committee or corporate governance committee.

Code of Ethics

We do not currently have a Code of Ethics that applies to employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, because we are a newly public company.  We plan to adopt a Code of Ethics in near future.

Employment Agreements

On September 21, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Alexander Bafer under which he agreed to serve as our Chief Executive Officer.  The employment agreement provides for three year term, subject to Mr. Bafer’s option to extend the term by an additional three year period.  The agreement provides for a base salary of $150,000 per year and a discretionary bonus in the amount of up to 150% of the base salary, payable quarterly.  The agreement is subject to termination by the Company for cause and also in the event of Mr. Bafer’s death or disability.  Mr. Bafer may terminate the agreement if within two years of a change in control any of the following events occurs: (i) a material diminution of the employee's responsibilities, as compared with the employee’s responsibilities immediately prior to the change in control; (ii) any reduction in the sum of employee's base salary or bonus as of the date immediately prior to the change in control; (iii) any failure to provide the employee with benefits at least as favorable as those enjoyed by similarly situated senior corporate officers at the Company under the Company's pension, life insurance, medical, health and accident, disability or other written employee plans under which the form and/or amounts of benefits are prescribed in applicable documents; (iv) any relocation of the employee's principal site of employment to a location more than 25 miles from the employee's principal site of employment as of the date immediately prior to the change in control; or (v) any material breach of the agreement on the part of the Company.  In the event of a termination as a result of a change of control, Mr. Bafer would be entitled to the following:  (i) a lump sum payment within ninety (90) days of such termination in an amount equal to 2.9 times the base salary; (ii) reimbursement for expenses accrued through the date of termination; (iii) a bonus within ninety (90) days of such termination in an amount equal to 150% of the bonus received by employee, if any, during the year immediately prior to such termination; (iii) all benefits as would have been awarded under the agreement  through the expiration of the term thereof; and (iv) payment sufficient to provide for a gross-up of any excise, income, and other taxes resulting from imposition of the parachute penalties of the Internal Revenue Code or applicable state tax laws.  The agreement contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions.  For the fiscal year ending December 2011, Mr. Bafer has been paid $25,000 in salary, has an additional $87,500 of salary accrued, and has not received a bonus. As of October 1, 2011, Mr. Bafer agreed to waive future base salary under his employment agreement, until further notice, in an effort to reduce our operating expenses.

Background and Qualifications of Directors.

When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Board of Directors focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business. As more specifically described in the biographies set forth above, our directors possess relevant knowledge and experience in the finance, accounting and business fields generally, which we believe enhances the Board’s ability to oversee, evaluate and direct our overall corporate strategy.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Brick Top Productions, Inc.
(A development stage company)
Cincinnati, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brick Top Productions, Inc., a development stage company, (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from February 20, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our 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 purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from February 20, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a deficit accumulated during the development stage at December 31, 2012 and had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the year then ended, respectively with no revenue earned since inception, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Brick Top Productions, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
December 31, 2012 and 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization and Operations

Brick Top Productions, Inc.

Brick Top Productions, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on February 20, 2009 under the name “York Entertainment, Inc.”

Acquisition of a Majority Equity Interest of York Productions, LLC

York Productions, LLC (“York” or “LLC”) was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on October 22, 2008. On June 1, 2010, the Company acquired 6,000 Class A units of York Productions, LLC for $75,000, representing a 60% equity interest.  Prior to June 1, 2010 (the date of acquisition) York Productions, LLC was inactive. Initial operations of the LLC have included organization and incorporation, target market identification, new product development, marketing plans, and capital formation.  A substantial portion of the Company’s activities has involved developing a business plan and establishing contacts and visibility in the marketplace.

The Company has not yet currently commenced its planned principal operations of producing motion pictures.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary; (3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8 the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation.  The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, in which the parent’s power to control exists.

The Company's consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:

Name of consolidated subsidiary
 or entity
State or other jurisdiction of
incorporation or
organization
Date of incorporation or
formation
(date of acquisition, if
applicable)
 
Attributable interest
 
           
York Productions, LLC
The State of Florida
October 22, 2008
(June 1, 2010)
    60 %

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and the consolidated subsidiary as of the reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s) then ended.
 
 
24

 

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Development Stage Company

The Company is a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and, therefore, still qualifies as a development stage company. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of financial instruments; the carrying value, recoverability and impairment, if any, of long-lived assets, including the values assigned to and the estimated useful lives of computer equipment and capitalized pilot costs; income tax rate, income tax provision and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.  Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business Combination

In accordance with section 805-10-05 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired entities to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values.

Management makes estimates of fair values based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from revenues, customer relationships, key management and market positions, assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade names will continue to be used in the Company’s combined product portfolio, and discount rates used to establish fair value. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable.  Assumptions may be incomplete.
 
 
25

 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: 

Level 1
 
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2
 
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3
 
Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.

Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets, which include computer equipment and capitalized pilot costs are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.  Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.  If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.

The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; and (v) regulatory changes.  The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

Management will periodically review the recoverability of the capitalized pilot costs. Management takes into consideration various information. If it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned, or its carrying value impaired, a provision will be made for any expected loss on the project or property.
 
 
26

 

The impairment charges, if any, is included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Computer Equipment

Computer equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of computer equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives of five (5). Upon sale or retirement of computer equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized Pilot Costs - Film Property and Screenplay Rights

The Company capitalizes costs it incurs to buy film or transcripts that will later be marketed or be used in the production of films according to ASC 926, Entertainment – Films. The Company will begin to amortize capitalized film cost when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from the film.

Related Parties

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. mounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Commitment and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.  In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.  Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

Non-Controlling Interest

The Company follows paragraph 810-10-65-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report the non-controlling interest in York Productions, LLC, its majority owned subsidiary in the consolidated statements of balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity.  Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, York Productions, LLC.  Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-Based Compensation for Obtaining Employee Services

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  The Company believes that using share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum ("PPM”), or monthly average stock close prices, if no PPM available, would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily stock close prices if the common shares of the Company are thinly traded.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding.  Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

·
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for it to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

·
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.

·
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Subtopic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Subtopic 505-50”).

Pursuant to Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  The Company believes that using share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum ("PPM”), or monthly average stock close prices, if no PPM available, would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily stock close prices if the common shares of the Company are thinly traded.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

·
Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  The Company uses the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term..

·
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for it to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

·
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.

·
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

Pursuant to ASC paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
 
 
30

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

Income Tax Provision

The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.

Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to the unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the year ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants.

There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Cash Flows Reporting

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.  The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Subsequent Events

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued.  Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08

In September 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”). This Update is to simplify how public and nonpublic entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendments permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.

The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11

In December 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). This Update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS.

The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02

In July 2012, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”).

This Update is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. This guidance builds upon the guidance in ASU 2011-08, entitled Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 was issued on September 15, 2011, and feedback from stakeholders during the exposure period related to the goodwill impairment testing guidance was that the guidance also would be helpful in impairment testing for intangible assets other than goodwill. 

The revised standard allows an entity the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, thus necessitating that it perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.
 
 
32

 

This Update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Earlier implementation is permitted.

Other Recently Issued, but not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage at December 31, 2012, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the year then ended, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
  
While the Company is attempting to commence operations and produce sufficient sales, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and produce sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 - Capitalized Pilot Costs

On June 4, 2010, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, York Productions, LLC, entered into a Production Services Agreement with Nick Nick, Inc. Under this agreement, York Productions, LLC contributed $85,000 in capital to Nick Nick, Inc. for the production of the “Doorman” pilot. Additionally, York Productions, LLC is assigned rights to “Intellectual Property” by Nick Nick, Inc.
 
 
33

 

The Company capitalizes film costs. The total capitalized pilot costs on the balance sheet of $292,931 are attributable to the “Doorman” pilot, which was completed on September 29, 2011. The Company will begin amortization of capitalized film costs and accrual (expensing) of participation costs when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from that film. The costs of producing a film and bringing that film to market consist of film costs, participation costs, exploitation costs, and manufacturing costs. Pursuant to FASB Codification Topic 926-20-35, the Company will begin amortization of capitalized film costs using the individual-film-forecast-computation which amortizes or accrues such costs in the same ratio that current period actual revenue bears to the estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue after an individual film is released.

Note 9 - Income Tax Provision

Deferred Tax Assets

At December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes of $967,868 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2032. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because the Company believes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $329,075 was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realization. The valuation allowance increased approximately $48,063 and $105,958 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Components of deferred tax assets are as follows:
