CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this Report includes some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, perceived opportunities in the market and statements regarding our mission and vision. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith on the basis of management’s views and assumptions as of the time the statements are made, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

 

In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, the following are important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements: technological advances, impact of competition, dependence on key personnel and the need to attract new management, effectiveness of cost and marketing efforts, acceptances of products, ability to expand markets and the availability of capital or other funding on terms satisfactory to us. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

 

 For a discussion of the risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could affect our future events, developments or results, you should carefully review the “Risk Factors” set forth under “Item 1. Description of Business” below. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events, developments or results described by our forward-looking statements herein could turn to be materially different from those we discuss or imply.

 

PART I

 

Item 1. Description of Business.

 

History

 

We were organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2005 as a vehicle to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business that primarily desires to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly-held corporation. On April 23, 2007, Rokwader completed an acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Latigo Shore Music, Inc. (“Latigo”). Substantially all of the business conducted by Rokwader is through Latigo, its wholly-owned subsidiary. Thereafter, we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in order to undertake a public offering of shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $.75 per share, which registration statement was declared effective on May 13, 2008. We closed the offering after selling 318,504 shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $238,878. On June 13, 2012, we filed an Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. The number of preferred stock remained the same at 10,000,000 shares.

 

Corporate Overview

 

One of Latigo’s assets is a music catalog (the "Latigo Catalog") that was acquired as part of our acquisition of Latigo on April 23, 2007.  The current Latigo catalog (including copyrights and publishing rights) consists of 216 original songs written in whole or in part by Andrew Dorff (106), Gary Harju (50) and Jeston Cade (60). Andrew Dorff, an adult son of Steve Dorff, a director of the Company and President of Latigo.  Other songwriters and their publishing designees own the balance of the percentages of these songs.  This is standard procedure in the music industry as many songs are collaborations of more than one writer.  Other songwriters also sometimes have their own publishing designees.

As a rule, total income is typically split 50% each between the publisher and the writer in a music publishing catalog. Publishers generally collect all income except for the “writers share” from public performance income. Writer’s receive their share of royalties for public performance directly from performing rights organizations such as Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”) and the publishers only collect the “publisher’s share” of public performance income.

 

In March, 2014, the Company signed Jeston Cade to a worldwide exclusive songwriting agreement. Under the agreement 100% of the copyright music publishing interest will belong to Latigo. Through December 31, 2014, Mr. Cade has by himself or in collaboration with others written 60 songs that have been added to the Latigo catalog. The agreement was for one year with two one year options. The Company has exercised its option for another year. We are currently promoting several of Mr. Cades songs and although they are currently being well received in the industry there is no assurance that they will be successful.

 

We have also begun to receive minimal royalties (revenues) from the Latigo acquisition of the Gary Harju music catalog in December, 2010.  The Gary Harju acquisition is helping to diversify our existing music catalog to give us a broader based platform going forward.  This catalog acquisition consists of all right, title and interest in 50 musical compositions from the Gary Harju music catalog to the extent of his writer's and publisher's share.  The total catalog (including copyrights and publishing rights) consists of original songs written in whole or in part by Gary Harju. Through December 31, 2013, we have received approximately $17,000 in royalties and fees from this catalog. It is important to note that some of the songs are co-written by other songwriters and the other songwriters and their publishing designees own the balance of the percentages of these songs.  Rokwader owns 100% of Mr. Harju’s writer’s share of the royalties. Songwriting is collaborative, so other co-writers usually have their own music publisher who collects their royalties, in addition to the writer’s receipt of monies from his own performing rights organization. Latigo collects only the income attributable to its writer’s co-writing share. This is standard procedure in the music industry since many songs are collaborations of more than one writer." Our total catalog, including the Latigo and Harju Catalog, consists of 156 songs of which we own 100% of the writers share. In addition, we own between 16.67% and 100% of the publishing rights of the songs in the catalog. Through December 31, 2013, we have received $24,250 in royalties and fees from all of our catalog’s songs.

 

We are hopeful of generating income from our songs through air play on radio, television and streaming music services, public performance at venues and restaurants, sales of CDs and digital downloads, and from synchronization licenses for film, television and commercials. In this regard we have commenced the marketing of our songs through music consultants and our contacts that call upon music professionals that are seeking new musical material (songs) for artists’ albums and for uses in films, television programs and commercials.

 

On January 24, 2013, Rokwader, the owner of 50% interest of the Andrew Dorff Catalog (the “Catalog”), acquired the remaining 50% interest of the catalog from Dillonpark, LLC, an entity of which Mr. Farar, the president and principal shareholder of Rokwader, is a member and manager. The purchase price for the Catalog was $22,000, which is the same amount that Dillonpark paid to acquire the Catalog. Furthermore, the purchase price is only required to be paid if and when the Catalog produces cash through royalties or sales. Fifty percent of any revenue received from the Catalog, up to $22,000, will be paid to Dillonpark, LLC as full consideration for the purchase of its 50% interest in the Catalog.

 

Rokwader, Inc. acquired 100 percent of Andrew Dorff’s writer's share of the 106 musical compositions written or co-written by Andrew Dorff that mirror those same songs that are published and owned by Latigo, as per the agreement of May 2013 between Andrew Dorff and Latigo (the "Writer's Share") for $40,000. As stated above, some of the songs are co-written by other songwriters and the other songwriters and their publishing designees own the balance of the percentages of these collaborative written songs. Music publishing and songwriter's share represent two different ownership interests. Rokwader believes that owning the publishing rights and 100 percent of Andrew Dorff and Gary Harju writer's share could be advantageous to the future of the Company and could make the Company stronger in its acquisition of additional music assets.

 

In their audit report dated March 26, 2014, our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. For the year ended December 31, 2013 we had revenues of $5,689 and a net loss of $105,664.

 

Business Strategy

 

Latigo is in the music publishing business. The music publishing business includes copywriting musical compositions that are written by various songwriters and composers. Music publishers exploit the copyrights to produce revenues via sales of recordings and other musical usages such as commercials, radio plays and television shows. Latigo believes emerging technologies and the introduction of innovative business relationships in the current market allow for a unique opportunity for business expansion. Revenues for Latigo should be realized through publishing income on copyrights that we acquire. To date we have only generated a minimal amount of revenue. In the past we have mostly marketed our catalog through contacts and associates of our directors. We have recently retained two musical consultants that will be marketing our songs for radio air play, for TV and radio commercials, for TV shows and for movies. These consultants are on month to month letter agreement with a small base pay and a commission override on songs actually distributed and generating revenues. There is no assurance that these consultants will be successful in placing our catalog songs for the generation of revenues.

As a small company we can operate with a creative hands-on approach to the selected few composers and songwriters that are part of our catalog. The music publishing business is primarily an intellectual property business focused on the exploitation of the song itself. In return for promoting, placing, marketing and the administration of the songwriter’s creativity, we receive a share of the revenues generated from the use of the song(s). We expect that our publishing revenue will be derived from two principal sources:

 

Mechanical: Latigo, as licensor receives royalties with respect to songs embodied in recordings sold in any format or configuration, including physical recordings (e.g. CD’s, DVD’s, video cassettes), online and wireless downloads.
Performance: Latigo, as licensor, receives royalties if the song is performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio, cable and satellite, live concert performances or other venues, such as nightclubs and stage theatrical productions.

 

In addition we are attempting to provide creative services to commercial songwriters in Country Western music. We also intend to attend music award ceremonies and music and songwriters conventions to further market our catalog of songs. We believe that even with this additional marketing effort our generation of revenues may remain minimal until we can raise more funds for more aggressive marketing activities.

 

Management Experience

 

Management is confident that their current officers, as well as the consultants and vendors they utilize at their discretion, are sufficient to execute the goals of Latigo, and operate the business through the initial phase of production and marketing.

 

Steve Dorff, the President of Latigo, is a long-time composer and producer. Mr. Dorff is a three-time Grammy nominee and has often been on the nation's top music charts. His résumé includes nine #1 film songs and 15 Top 10 hits, including the Kenny Rogers' classic "Through the Years", a BMI 3 million performance songs, as well as "I Just Fall In Love Again ", the Anne Murray record that captured Billboard's #1 Song Of The Year honors. His many songs have been sung by many artists including Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, George Strait, Vanessa Williams and others. Emmy Nominee for five television compositions, his credits include such stalwarts as "Murphy Brown" and "Murder She Wrote". He has also contributed to various television series’ like "Growing Pains", "Alien Nation", "Spenser: for Hire", "Major Dad", "Colombo", "Reba", and "Rodney".

 

His many TV and cable movie credits include the Emmy nominated CBS mini-series "Elvis", the Hallmark Hall of Fame "Rose Hill", the animated Christmas classic "Annabelle's Wish", "Babe Ruth", "The Quick and The Dead", "Moonshine Highway" and "The Defiant Ones". Mr. Dorff’s many movie songs and scores have been featured in "Bronco Billy", "Blast from the Past", "Rocky IV", "Pure Country", "Tin Cup", "Michael", "Dudley Do-Right", "Dancer, Texas", "The Last Boy Scout", "Curly Sue" and "Honky Tonk Man". Mr. Dorff was the musical director of the popular television show “the Singing Bee” on CMT (the “Country Music Television” channel).

 

Yale Farar, the president of the Company, began his career years ago in the music business as a radio DJ and later as a television talent coordinator and producer. For the past nine years he has operated the business of the Company as its President. Mr. Farar is also and has been for over 25 years an investor and businessman and for the past 19 years he has been the manager of Brooktide LLC, a private investment company.

 

 

Gary Saderup, director and secretary, is an actor, producer of two small films and an artist. In the last 3 years Mr. Saderup has been a producer of and acted in 2 small film adaptations of Lincoln, a 2-hour one-man show.  In addition, he played the lead role and produced MacArthur, another film adaptation of a one-man show.

 

Industry Overview

 

Music is one of the primary entertainment forms of the modern era. The industry is highly competitive, based on consumer preferences, and changes rapidly due to consumer demand and advancements in technology. To be competitive, companies must be able to discover and develop artists and talents that have appeal beyond a domestic audience. They must also be able to successfully promote and market these acts, and maintain strong music publishing catalogues. These catalogues provide for lucrative business opportunities that can be exploited year after year, are not at the mercy of changing technologies. The nature of copyrights is for their value to possibly increase over years with very minimal expense. For example: one song that gets recorded and sells units can generate income that can continue for many years. This one song can raise the value of the entire catalog. The top five music consuming countries continue to be the United States, England, France, Japan, and Germany.

 

Digital Piracy has grown dramatically, enabled by the increasing penetration of broadband Internet access and the ubiquity of powerful microprocessors, fast optical drives (particularly with writable media, such as CD-R) and large inexpensive disk storage in personal computers. The combination of these technologies has allowed consumers to easily, flawlessly and almost instantaneously make high quality copies of music using a home computer by “ripping” or converting musical content from CDs into digital files, stored on local disks. International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (“IFPI”) estimates that billions of songs are illegally downloaded every year.

 

Industrial Piracy (also called counterfeiting or physical piracy) involves mass production of illegal CDs and cassettes in factories. This form of piracy is largely concentrated in developing regions, and has existed for more than a decade.

The industry has launched an intensive campaign to limit piracy that focused on four key initiatives:

 

Technological: The technological measures against piracy are geared towards degrading the illegal file sharing process and tracking providers and consumers of pirated music.
Educational: Led by Recording Industry Association of America (“RIAA”) and IFPI, the industry has launched an aggressive campaign of consumer education designed to spread awareness of the illegality of various forms of piracy through aggressive print and television advertisements.
Legal: In conjunction with its educational efforts, the industry has taken aggressive legal actions against file-sharers and is continuing to file industrial pirates.
Development of online and mobile alternatives: Most of the companies in the music industry believe that the development and success of legitimate digital music channels will be an important driver of recorded music sales going forward, as they represent both an incremental revenue stream and a potential inhibitor of piracy. The music industry has been encouraged by the recent proliferation and early success of legitimate digital music distribution options. We agree that these legitimate online distribution channels offer several advantages to illegal peer-to-peer networks, including greater ease of use, higher quality and more consistent music product, faster downloading, better search capabilities and seamless integration with portable digital music players.

 

These efforts are incremental to the long standing push by organizations such as IFPI to curb industrial piracy around the world. In addition to these actions, the music industry is increasingly coordinating with other similarly impacted industries (such as software and filmed entertainment) to combat piracy.

 

The music publishing market has proven to be more resilient than the recorded music market in recent years as revenue streams other than mechanical royalties are largely unaffected by piracy, and are benefiting from additional sources of income from digital exploitation of music in downloads.  Piracy is generally referred to when the publishers and writers are not being paid for physical product, such as CD’s and records. Performance royalties collected by PRO’s (Performing Rights Organizations) such as BMI, ASCAP & SESAC are paid directly to writers and publishers of musical compositions. These royalties are fees paid by broadcast entities, such as radio stations, restaurants, concert halls, television networks any venue where music is publicly performed. These revenues are not subject to stolen or pirated records or CD’s.

 

In addition, we have the opportunity to generate significant value by the acquisition of small publishers by extracting cost savings (as acquired libraries can be administered with little or no incremental cost) and by increasing revenues through more aggressive marketing efforts.

 

Competition

 

We encounter intense competition in our business. The competition is experienced, competent and they have far greater financial and marketing resources than we do. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the development, sales and marketing of their services and artists than are available to us.

Almost all of our competitors offer a wider range of services and have greater name recognition and more extensive artist base and marketing outlets for their products than Latigo. We compete with other well known music companies and music publishers to identify and sign new artists and songwriters. In addition, our competitors may from time to time reduce their prices in an effort to expand market share and introduce new services, or improve the quality of their products or services. Our music publishing business competes not only with other music publishing companies, but also with songwriters who publish their own works. We are also dependent on securing artists that appeal to the music buying customers, and the competition with other music companies for such talent is intense.

 

We also anticipate significant competition from other recording companies, most of which have substantial financial, technical, marketing, and management resources. This has created a greater degree of difficulty in securing proven artists and acquiring musical works by well-known artists in ways that are economically viable. Due to the continuing limitation of platforms for their artists, there is no guarantee the various music companies like Latigo can successfully compete within the music business marketplace.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had one full time employee. The Company utilizes various independent contractors for marketing and accounting services.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

An investment in our securities is highly speculative and subject to numerous and substantial risks. Readers are encouraged to review these risks carefully before making any investment decision.

 

Concentration of ownership will allow one shareholder to control Rokwader’s business

 

The President, and largest shareholder of Rokwader, currently owns approximately 70.2% of the outstanding stock of Rokwader. As a result, this shareholder will be able to exercise control over virtually all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporation transactions. Thus, the present management will be able to maintain their positions as Directors and effectively operate Rokwader’s business, regardless of other investors’ preferences.  

 

Only one of our directors has any previous experience launching and operating a music/entertainment company, and our officers and directors have only limited experience in the management of start-up companies such as Latigo.

 

Other than Steve Dorff our officers and directors have no previous experience launching and operating a music/entertainment company, such as Rokwader and its Latigo subsidiary. They have only limited experience in establishing and growing a startup company such as Rokwader and its subsidiary, Latigo. As a result, we will continue to rely heavily on the experience and business acumen of Steve Dorff to establish an effective business strategy for our future music/entertainment operations.

 

There is only a limited trading market for our common stock, which may adversely impact your ability to sell your shares.

 

There currently is only a limited trading market for our stock. There is no assurance that a more active public market will ever develop. You will likely not be able to sell your securities if a regular trading market for our securities does not develop and we cannot predict the extent, if any, to which investor interest will lead to the development of a viable trading market in our shares.

 

The music and entertainment business is highly speculative and there is a consequent risk of loss of your investment.

 

The success of Rokwader’s plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of its sole subsidiary Latigo. Latigo does not have an established operating history. The music and entertainment industry is a very speculative one with changing trends, music and movie themes, contemporary issues, age and gender preferences and other factors determining the success or failure of various types of music, theatre and movies. Consequently, there is no assurance that the interest in the musical catalogue or master recordings currently owned by Latigo will find a significant audience or be commercial successes. Therefore, the success of our operations will be dependent upon management of Latigo’s business and numerous other factors beyond our control.

 

There will be additional dilution as additional shares are issued which may decrease the market price of our common stock.

 

Additional offerings of our common stock will likely have to be made in the future to raise capital to meet operating cash flow needs. Such offerings may include warrants for issuance of additional common stock, further diluting the number of shares of common stock outstanding from time to time. An increase in the number of our shares from these events or others may result in a decrease of the future potential market price for our common stock and will dilute the ownership interest of current shareholders.  

 

We will incur increased costs and may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified directors and executive officers as a result of being a public company.

 

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, reporting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We also incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as well as new rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage. As a result, we may experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of these requirements or when such costs may be incurred.

Our limited assets and the lack of revenues raise substantial doubt about our ability to carry on business operations.  

 

Rokwader has only generated a limited amount of revenues from operations. Consequently, we had a net loss of $256,703 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $105,664 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  As of December 31, 2014, we had a working capital Deficiency of $(461,598) and $7,514 of cash available.

 

The current cash resources may not be sufficient to satisfy the cash requirements of the Company over the next 12 months. Our ability to continue operations is dependent upon our ability to successfully establish our Business and secure additional funding sources.  To date, the proceeds from our IPO offering and investment by our principal stockholder has funded our current operations. Additional financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

 

Due to our continuing losses from business operations, our independent auditor’s report dated February 27, 2015, includes an explanatory paragraph which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued operations are dependent upon obtaining additional working capital either through significantly increasing revenues or through outside financing. We are currently operating with limited cash reserves and no revenues which could inhibit our ability to continue in business or achieve our business objectives. 

 

We lack business diversification, as we are only operating one business in one industry the music/entertainment industry, which makes us subject to all the risks and uncertainties of that industry.

 

Latigo is our sole operating business. Accordingly, the prospects for our success are entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business in the music/entertainment industry. Unlike other entities with resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries, we do not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. Consequently, our business is subject to the variable and speculative nature of the music/entertainment business. There is no assurance that our musical inventory, theatrical productions or future artists will achieve a commercially viable audience.

  

We will require substantial investment to develop and promote any music recordings we currently own, may develop or acquire and if we fail to raise sufficient capital to support and fund our expanding marketing and music development operations, our business plan may not be fully realized.

 

We are in effect a new company, in the development stage, launching a business model within the music industry. We will require additional capital in order to acquire, develop, and distribute new music products, to pay for marketing efforts and fund our growth. In addition, we will need to adequately capitalize the development of each new artist and we may be required to spend greater-than-anticipated funds if unforeseen difficulties arise in the course of these or other aspects of our business. As a consequence, we believe that we will be required to raise additional capital through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborative relationships, bank financing or other arrangements. We cannot assure you that such additional capital will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any additional equity financing is expected to be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and increased interest costs. While we anticipate that our current shareholders will continue to fund our operating expenses if necessary, there is no assurance that this will continue to be the case. Our inability to obtain sufficient financing may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our music development and distribution programs or to limit the operation or marketing of our music products. This could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

 

There is intense competition in Latigo's industry which may adversely affect the business operations of Rokwader.

 

There are numerous competitors in the music industry in which Latigo is currently involved or in which it intends to enter, most of which have developed product lines, strong marketing systems and established customer followings. In almost all cases, Latigo's competitors have far greater financial and other resources. Latigo also expects competition to increase in the future due to evolving media technologies which are reducing the barriers to entry into the music and video industries. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm Latigo's net revenue and results of operations. Latigo competes or will potentially compete with a variety of entertainment and music companies, most of which have operated for a longer period of time and have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources. Some of these competitors have established relationships with leading record labels. These competitors include national and independent record distributors, none of which has any existing relationship with Latigo. Further, Latigo may face a significant competitive challenge from alliances entered into between and among its competitors, as well as from larger competitors created through industry consolidation.

Efforts to protect intellectual property or the alleged misuse of the intellectual property of others may cause Latigo to become involved in costly and lengthy litigation which could divert needed resources away from its operations.

 

Latigo's success depends in part on its ability to obtain and preserve copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights, in connection with its music inventory, and services. Latigo currently has trademark or copyright protection relating to its musical catalog and may seek such protections with respect to other music or to its trade logos. The process of seeking trademark and copyright protection can be time consuming and expensive and no assurances can be given that (i) copyrights or trademarks applied for in the future will actually be issued, (ii) new copyrights will be sufficient in scope to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage or (iii) others will not independently develop similar products or design around any copyrights Latigo is issued. If Latigo fails to protect its intellectual property from infringement, other companies may offer competitive products. Protection of our intellectual property if such should become necessary could result in costly and lengthy litigation, diverting resources which would otherwise be dedicated to operating the business.

 

The recorded music industry has been declining and may continue to decline which may adversely affect our prospects and results of operations.

 

Since 1999 the recorded music industry has been unstable, which has adversely affected our operating results. The industry-wide decline can be attributed primarily to digital piracy. Other reasons for this decline are the bankruptcies of record retailers and wholesalers, growing competition for consumer discretionary spending and retail shelf space, and the maturation of the CD format, which has slowed the historical growth pattern of recorded music sales. While CD sales still generate most of the recorded music revenues, CD sales continue to decline industry-wide and we expect that trend to continue. While new formats for selling recorded music product have been created, including the legal downloading of digital music using the Internet, DVD-Audio formats and the distribution of music on mobile devices, significant revenue streams from these new formats are just beginning to emerge. The recorded music industry performance may continue to negatively impact our operating results. In addition, a declining recorded music industry could continue to have an adverse impact on the music publishing business. This is because our music publishing business intends to generate a portion of its revenues from mechanical royalties received from the sales of music in recorded music formats such as the CD. The industry may continue to decline. In addition, there can be no assurances as to the timing or the extent of any improvement in the industry.

 

 

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

 

None

 

Item 2.  Properties.

  

Our corporate and operational offices are located at 21900 Burbank Blvd., 3rd Floor, Woodland Hills, CA 91367. The office is rented on a month to month basis for $99.00 per month. In addition, music studio facilities, if needed, are provided to us at no cost to the Company by Mr. Dorff, the Director and President of Latigo. We believe these spaces are currently adequate and plans to move to expanded office space are contingent upon raising additional capital, increasing revenues and the hiring of additional employees.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not a party to any legal proceedings.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Penny Stock Considerations

 

The trading of our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus are subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $100,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:

 

  Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

 

  Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

  

  Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

 

  Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

 

 

10


 
 

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock in the market place. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our shares are likely to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.

 

Common Stock Currently Outstanding

 

As of March 9, 2015, 2,951,110 shares were issued and outstanding, of which 2,632,606 shares were restricted and are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. We have no plans or commitments to register such shares in the future.

 

Holders

 

As of the date of this Report, we had 70 stockholders of record of our common stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain future earnings, if any, for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts, as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

 

Reports to Stockholders

 

We are currently subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will continue to file periodic reports, and other information with the SEC. We intend to send annual reports to our stockholders containing audited financial statements.

 

Transfer Agent

 

Computershare Trust Company, Inc., located at 8742 Lucent Blvd., Suite 225, Highlands Ranch, Colorado 80129 is the registrar and transfer agent for our common stock.

 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

None.

This 10−K contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements.

Refer also to “Risk Factors” and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements" in Item 1 above.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Our principal business objective for the next 12 months will be to achieve long-term growth through Latigo, our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Furthermore, the Company continues to review other business opportunities.

 

Rokwader completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Latigo on April 23, 2007. Latigo’s primary activity is the development of a production company for the purpose of creating viable entertainment assets. One of Latigo’s major functions will be to discover new musical talent. With the new talent, Latigo can make Master quality recordings and function as a conduit either selling or leasing such recordings to major record companies and distributors. Latigo would pay the costs of producing three or four songs per artist, garnering enough interest to then have a major label pick up the remaining costs to finish the project.

 

Latigo is also interested in acquiring music catalogues. Latigo acquired a 50% interest in its first music catalogue consisting of 106 songs. Latigo hopes to be able to receive publishing fees on the copyrights as other singers, movies, television, or other theatrical outlets utilize the songs in the catalogue.

 

Latigo’s expenses associated with its business through December 31, 2014, were $ 102,378. Steve Dorff has a fully equipped recording studio where Master Recordings and demos can be produced. From the current interest in Andrew Dorff’s recordings and in the 216 song musical catalogue, Latigo projects minimal revenues to commence in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had revenues of $403 and $5,689, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred net losses of $(256,703) and $(105,664), respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had stockholders’ deficit of $(416,028).

 

Costs and Resources

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, our costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports were $50,602. On April 14, 2010, Mr. Farar, President of the Company, loaned $25,000 to the Company. On November 17 and December 17, 2010, Brooktide, LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Farar, loaned $16,000 to Latigo, the Company’s subsidiary, and $9,000 to the Company, respectively. All of the loans were evidenced by three Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) executed by the Company and, in regard to the $16,000 loan, by Latigo. The Notes bear interest of 6% per annum and are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into common stock of the Company at $.75 per share. The Notes are demand notes and may be paid at any time by the Company without permission or penalty.

 

Equity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses since inception of our business (March 18, 2005), and as of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,482,242. As of December 31, 2014, we had cash of $7,514 and a working capital deficiency of $(461,598).

 

To the extent that the Company's capital resources are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements, the Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion of the Company's future financing requirements.  Although there is no contractual relationship between the Company and Mr. Farar, the President and principal shareholder, he has indicated that, if the Company continues to grow, he would favorably entertain funding corporate expenses for approximately another 12 months. Any additional capital advanced by Mr. Farar would most likely be in the form of a convertible promissory note at 6% interest (the “Note”) and convertible into common stock of the Company at a price equal to the closing bid price on the OTC.Pink on the date of the Note. There is no assurance that Mr. Farar will continue to support the Company. Without a further influx of monies, either from revenues or from outside investors, the Company will run out of funds by the end of 2015.

 

 

12


 
 

 

No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion, which is included in the financial statements included in this Report. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have generated only minimal revenues and no substantial revenues are anticipated. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by our CEO and director.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Since our inception through December 31, 2014, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have adopted all applicable recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements did not have a material effect on our operations.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

 

Our audited consolidated financial statements are set forth in this Annual Report beginning on page F-1.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Rokwader, Inc.

Woodland Hills, CA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Rokwader, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated change in stockholders’ deficit and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, 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 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has had limited revenues and income since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1, which includes the raising of additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licenses or others. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ROKWADER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

HISTORY

 

ROKWADER, INC. (the Company), was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2005.

 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rokwader, Inc. and subsidiary. Inter-Company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

GOING CONCERN AND PLAN OF OPERATION

 

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern. Although the Company has commenced operations, it has not generated significant revenues from operations to date, and still meets the requirements of a development stage company. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,482,242 as of December 31, 2014.

 

To the extent that the Company’s capital resources are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements, the Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion of the Company’s future financing requirements.

 

No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company and raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 related to Income Taxes. According to Topic 740, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their financial amounts at year-end.

 

For federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses incurred prior to the commencement of operations must be deferred and then they may be written off over a 180-month period. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20 years until utilized for federal tax purposes. The Company will provide a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets since there is no assurance of future taxable income.

 

The Company utilizes the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 related to Income Taxes to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Topic 740 for Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing rules for recognition, measurement and classification in financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be in a tax return. Further, it prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement measurement and recognition of a tax position. The first step involves the determination of whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This topic also provides guidance on the accounting for related interest and penalties, financial statement classification and disclosure. The Company’s policy is that any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense when incurred. The Company has no uncertain tax positions or related interest or penalties requiring accrual at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

 

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Company maintains all cash in deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts.

 

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effects of options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The realizability of long-lived assets is evaluated periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover the carrying amount. Long-lived assets that will no longer be used in our business are written-off in the period identified since they are no longer expected to generate any positive cash flows for us. Long-lived assets that continue to be used by us are periodically evaluated for recoverability. Such evaluation is based on various analyses, including cash flow and profitability projections. The analyses necessarily involve significant management judgment. In the event the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than net book value of the assets, the carrying value of the assets is written down to its estimated fair value.

 

During 2010, the Company determined that, based on estimated future cash flows, the carrying amount of the intangible assets acquired in the purchase of Latigo Shore Music, Inc., including the Music Copyright Costs and Master Compact Disks exceed their fair value by $18,942 each. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $37,884 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010 related to these intangibles. No impairment loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014. Additionally, during 2010, the Company determined that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, a goodwill impairment loss of $41,664 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010. No goodwill loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

As required by FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable.


Revenues are earned from the receipt of royalties relating to the licensing of rights in musical compositions. The receipt of royalties principally relates to amounts earned from the public performance of copyrighted material, the mechanical reproduction of copyrighted material on recorded media including digital formats, and the use of copyrighted material in synchronization with visual images. Consistent with industry practice, music publishing royalties generally are recognized as revenue when cash is received. Revenue generally is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-18, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination. ASU 2014-18 elects the accounting alternative to recognize or otherwise consider the fair value of intangible assets as a result of any in-scope transactions and states that they should no longer recognized separately from goodwill (1) customer-related intangible assets unless they are capable of being sold or licensed independently from other assets of the business and (2) non-competition agreements. The amendments in ASU 2014-18 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and the effective date of adoption will begin on the timing of that first in-scope transaction. The Company has not adopted ASU 2014-18 during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the year ended December 31, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.

 

 

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT

 

On March 8, 2012, the Company issued 40,000 shares of common stock to Brooktide, LLC (a company controlled by Mr. Yale Farar) in full satisfaction of $30,000 owed to Brooktide, LLC. The shares of common stock are restricted shares and the share certificates contain a legend restricting sales and transfers.

 

On April 2, 2012, the Company sold 53,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.75 per share. The proceeds from this sale will be used to pay fees and expenses; to the extent such expenses are not deferred, arising from the Company’s compliance with its public reporting requirements and to continue to create viable entertainment assets in the music recording industry.

 

On August 3, 2012, the Company’s board of directors agreed to issue 25,000 stock options to Mr. William Barnett, 25,000 stock options to Mr. Mitchell Turk, 25,000 stock options to Mr. Gary Saderup, 25,000 stock options to Mr. Steve Dorff, and 250,000 stock options to Brooktide, LLC for the purchase of the Company’s shares of common stock. The stock options are exercisable at $0.75 per share and expire 2 years from the date of grant. As a result of the issuance of these stock options, the Company recognized $121,077 in stock-based compensation in the 2012 consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT (CONTINUED)

 

The Company applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 505 related to Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees to account for these options and warrants issued. According to Topic 505, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments shall be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company believes that fair value of these options and warrants is a more reliable measure of the consideration received for services performed for the Company. We determined the fair value of these equity instruments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Factors used in the determination of the fair value of these equity instruments include, the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the equity instrument, the volatility of the underlying stock, the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the equity instrument. The initial fair value of these options and warrants granted was $121,077 which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The stock option expense included in general and administrative expense for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 is $191,323 and $0, respectively. FASB ASC 505 “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” requires that only the compensation expense expected to vest be recognized.

 

25,000 of the stock options issued expired as of June 30, 2014 while the remaining 325,000 stock options were extended through December 31, 2015. As a result of this extension, the Company recognized an additional $191,323 in stock-based compensation expense in the 2014 unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to calculate this compensation expense.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Due to the Company’s limited stock activity, the expected volatility is based on the daily historical volatility of comparative companies, measured over the expected term of the option. The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term closest to the expected term of the option.

 

The dividend yield reflects that the Company has not paid any cash dividends since inception and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the options as of December 31, 2014:

 

   December 31, 2014
Dividend Yield   0 
Expected Volatility   278%
Risk-Free Interest Rate   0.47 
Term in Years   1.5 
Stock Price   0.65 
Option Exercise Price   0.75

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On August 16, 2007, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Yale Farar in full satisfaction of $280,000 plus interest owed to him. The shares of common stock are restricted shares and the share certificates contain a legend restricting sales and transfers. The $280,000 owed to Mr. Farar was comprised of the $170,000 loan to the Company, including $50,000 on March 30, 2007, pursuant to the Agreement to Advance Funds dated

 

On November 13, 2007, Brooktide, LLC loaned the Company $75,000 in accordance with a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) executed by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, this loan bears an interest rate equal to 6% per annum and is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into common stock of the Company at $.375 per share. The Note is a demand note and may be paid at any time without premium or penalty. The outstanding balance on the Note is immediately due and payable without notice or demand, upon or at anytime after the occurrence or existence of any one or more of the listed “Events of Default.”

 

The proceeds of the Note were used to pay fees and expenses arising from the Company’s compliance with its public reporting requirements and to continue to create viable entertainment assets in the music recording industry. Additionally, the proceeds of the Note were used to pay for costs relating to its registration statement with the SEC, which was declared effective May 13, 2008 and finalized on August 5, 2008.

 

Based on a conversion price of $.375, the convertibility does not result in a beneficial conversion feature as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470 related to Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Further, per the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815 related to Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the debt meets the definition of conventional convertible debt and bifurcation of the embedded derivative is not necessary.

 

Additionally, Brooktide, LLC owns a controlling interest in the Company’s common stock. Mr. Farar, the President of Rokwader, is the sole manager of Brooktide, LLC. As a sole manager, Mr. Farar, has voting and investment power over the shares owned by Brooktide, LLC.

 

The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. Most office services are provided without charge by the president. In addition, Mr. Dorff, director and President of Latigo provides music studio facilities to us at no cost. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein.

 

The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities, such that they may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

 

On February 12, 2009, the Company issued 15,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.75 per share to Mr. Steve Dorff for services performed. Using the results of its initial public offering performed on August, 5, 2008, the Company determined that the price of $0.75 per share was a fair value for the shares issued to Mr. Steve Dorff.

 

The Company applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 505 related to Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees to account for these shares issued. According to Topic 505, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments shall be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliable measure. The Company believes that the fair value of these shares is a more reliable measure of the consideration received for services performed for the Company.

The other parties who have partial interests in the catalog will continue to receive their share of royalties and other

income. The Company will amortize the costs of the Harju Catalog over its estimated useful life based on projected net revenues. The Company projects to generate revenues from the Harju Catalog for an estimate of 20 years based on Mr. Harju’s past accomplishments and the ability of the recorded music to generate revenues for long periods of time. Therefore, the Company estimated the useful life of the Harju Catalog to be 20 years.

Item 9A Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls are also designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.

 

The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our principal executive officer included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Annual Report. Our management, including our chief executive officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. 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. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  There have been no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the years ended December 31, 2014.

 

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

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.

 

Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting is as of the year ended December 31, 2014. We believe that internal control over financial reporting is effective. We have not identified any, current material weaknesses considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations.

 

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

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Indemnification of Executive Officers and Directors

 

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits indemnification of directors, officers, and employees of corporations under certain conditions subject to certain limitations. Article VII of our Certificate of Incorporation states that we may provide indemnification of our agents, including our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Corporation Law. In the event that a claim for indemnification (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our sole director and officer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is appropriate and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of its Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and each exchange on which the Company's securities are registered. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all ownership forms they file.

 

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from the officers, directors, or persons holding greater than 10% of Company stock, no ownership disclosure form (SEC Form 5) was required for those persons. All of the required Form 3's and up to date Form 4's for the directors have been filed with the SEC. There are no transfers of the Company's common stock by any persons subject to Section 16(a) requirements.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

The following table summarizes all compensation recorded by us in 2014, 2013 and 2012 for our principal executive officer, each other executive officer serving as such whose annual compensation exceeded $100,000, and up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been made in this table but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of our company at December 31, 2013. The value attributable to any option awards is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The assumptions made in the valuations of the option awards are included in Note 2 of the Notes to our Financial Statements appearing later in this report.

Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power. In computing the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by each person, we include any shares of common stock that could be acquired within 60 days of March 9, 2015, by the exercise of options. These shares, however, are not counted in computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
