BRAZIL INTERACTIVE MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization, Business & Operations
Brazil Interactive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on September 24, 2001 under the name of Naturewell, Incorporated, is a public company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "BIMI." The Company was formerly engaged in the research and development of healthcare products intended for a variety of conditions. On May 9, 2008, the Company completed the sale of essentially all of its assets. As a result of the sale of its assets, the Company became a shell company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
BIMI, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware on September 11, 2012 under the name of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc., is the parent of Brazil Interactive Media Participações, Ltda., a Brazilian holding company, which through its wholly-owned subsidiary EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio Ltda. (“EsoTV”), combines live television broadcasts with a telecommunications component to create live, interactive television programming for the Brazilian viewing public. Brazil Interactive Media, Brazil Interactive Media Participações, Ltda. and EsoTV shall be collectively referred to herein as “Brazil Interactive Media” and the “Company”. Brazil Interactive Media’s Brazilian subsidiary, EsoTV, was founded and commenced operations in 2008.
On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by which Naturewell, Incorporated became the ultimate parent company of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. With the effectiveness of the merger, Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. changed its name to “BIMI, Inc.” On May 16, 2013, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) with the state of Delaware, changing the name of the Company to Brazil Interactive Media, Inc., effecting a reverse merger at a ratio of 8,484 to one, and decreasing the Company’s authorized capital from 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01, to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01.
Subsequent to the merger, the former Brazil Interactive Media Shareholders now hold approximately 93.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company and the remaining 6.5% is owned by the Company's pre-merger shareholders. The Company received a new stock symbol, BIMI, which reflects the new name of the Company.
As of March 13, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, EsoTV, commenced the business of producing live TV shows with an interactive telephone calling component using its own unique and proprietary programs that include quiz shows, games, psychics and live chat formats. The Company’s program content reaches the nationwide Brazilian television audience via an in-studio satellite signal uplink to a variety of Brazilian TV broadcast networks.
At its facilities in São Paulo, Brazil, the Company operates two modern television studios, producing and transmitting, via satellite, live television content to TV stations throughout Brazil. Brazil Interactive Media currently broadcasts throughout Brazil. The Company has the capacity to broadcast its satellite signal throughout Latin America, in case the Company should decide to launch its programs in countries outside of Brazil. Through the negotiation and purchase of block television time for strategic times and networks, the Company distributes its content directly to its target audience throughout Brazil. Brazil Interactive Media currently leases two satellite uplinks and produces three daily live shows, providing 13 hours of live television program content daily. Brazilian television viewers participate in the shows in real time via telephone, calling into the Company’s voice system to participate in the show formats, which, depending on the particular show, could include the chance to respond to a question live on the air, or participate in a presenter’s conversation with other audience members. Audience participants calling in dial telephone numbers belonging to the Company’s telecommunications partners. The Company’s Brazilian telecommunications partners charge audience participants various per-minute rates for the incoming calls and share a portion of the revenue with the Company.
The Company currently broadcasts its programs on four Brazilian television channels: MixTV, VTV, Rede Brazil and Terra Viva. The programs may be seen on those channels in the daytime slot, from 11 am until 2 pm, and in the early morning slot, from 12 am until 3 am. Programming channels and time slots vary from time to time as the Company negotiates block media times in advance and introduces new programs periodically in order to best reach its target audience. The Company’s target audience is members of the Brazilian television viewing public who use cellular telephones. Due to the Company’s business model, where income flows from third-party telecommunications providers who bill the Company’s customers directly, the Company does not have access to comprehensive or detailed information regarding the Company’s customers. However, based on years of experience of airing television programs and monitoring their financial results, the Company attempts to design its programs to appeal to male and female television viewers of all social classes and primarily middle class economic means between the ages of 18 and 50.
The Company is currently substantially dependent upon business with one Brazilian telecommunications partner, Brasil Telecom (operating in Brasil under the brand name “Oi”). The Company does not know what portion of Oi’s revenue comes to the Company, and the Company receives 100% of the Company’s income from this continuing co-billing contract, by which the Company monetizes the sale of the major part of its services to the public.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) under the accrual basis of accounting.
Interim financial statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period of a future year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio Ltda. (“EsoTV”) (collectively the “Company”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported income (loss).
Use of Estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Such accounting principles differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil (“Brazilian GAAP”), which is applied by the Company for its annual consolidated financial statement preparation. Unless otherwise specified, all references in these financial statements to (i) “reais,” the “real” or “R$” are to the Brazilian real (singular), or to the Brazilian reais (plural), the legal currency of Brazil, and (ii) “U.S. dollars” or “$” are to United States dollars.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company and subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not record an allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Fixed Assets - net
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Depreciable life | Residual value | |||||
Machinery and Equipment | 5 years | 5 | % | |||
Furniture and fixture | 7 years | 5 | % |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not make the fixed asset more useful or prolong its useful life are expensed as incurred.
Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“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 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 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 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. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date ended June 30, 2013and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with guidance by paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB ASC for revenue recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company produces live TV shows including quiz shows, games, psychics and live chat formats, which are transmitted via satellite to the Company’s television broadcaster distribution channels. The Company currently leases two satellite uplinks and produces three daily live shows, providing 13 hours of live television program content daily. Members of the television audiences participate in in the shows in real time via telephone, calling into the Company’s voice system to participate in the show formats, dialing telephone numbers belonging to the Company’s telecommunications partners. The Company’s Brazilian telecommunications partners charge audience participants various per-minute rates for the incoming calls and share a portion of the revenue with the Company. Revenue is recognized by the Company when the minutes of calls from audiences are determined by the local telecommunications providers.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of media cost, leasing expenses related to satellite uplinks and other costs directly attributable to the provision of services.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
The Company conducts its primary business in Brazil and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding income taxes due with the tax authority in Brazil in the amounts of $640,117 and $631,238, respectively. A portion of the income tax due for 2012, or $436,355, will be paid over time pursuant to an installment plan entered into by the Company and the tax authority in Brazil.
Earnings per share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings (loss) per share computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the periods presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for the periods presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no common stock equivalents (CSE) necessary for the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Comprehensive income
The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification 220 “Comprehensive Income” (ASC “220”) which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during the year from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is the Brazilian Real. The Company maintains its consolidated financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the consolidated financial statements of the Company, which are prepared using the functional currency, have been translated into United States dollars. Current assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates of the year while fixed assets and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The exchange rates in effect as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 were US$1 for R$2.23 and R$2.08, respectively. The average exchange rates for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were R$2.06 and R$1.96 respectively, while the average exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were US$1 for R$2.03 and R$1.87, respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of Brazilian Real to US dollars after the balance sheet date.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
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, 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. amounts 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 financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially 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, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, and consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of its operations.
In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not materially expand its financial statement note disclosures.
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is reviewing ASU 2011-05 to ascertain its impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, which allows, but does not require, an entity when performing its annual goodwill impairment test the option to first do an initial assessment of 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 for purposes of determining whether it is even necessary to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, based on the option created in ASU 2011-08, the calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value is not required unless, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is less, the quantitative impairment test is then required. ASU 2011-08 also provides for new qualitative indicators to replace those currently used. Prior to ASU 2011-08, entities were required to test goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis, by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the second step of the test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, “Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”. The guidance allows companies to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test.
ASU 2012-02 allows companies the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, before determining whether it is necessary to 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. Companies can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets or choose to only perform the quantitative impairment test for any indefinite-lived intangible in any period.
ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the guidance and the impact ASU 2012-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-looking Statements
Statements in this report may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under "Risk Factors" in our Form 8-K filed March 21, 2013 and any risks described in any other filings we make with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, cost reimbursement income, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable 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. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Corporate History of Brazil Interactive Media
Brazil Interactive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on September 24, 2001 under the name of Naturewell, Incorporated, is a public company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "BIMI." The Company was formerly engaged in the research and development of healthcare products intended for a variety of conditions. On May 9, 2008, the Company completed the sale of essentially all of its assets. As a result of the sale of its assets, the Company became a shell company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
BIMI, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware on September 11, 2012 under the name of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc., is the parent of Brazil Interactive Media Participações, Ltda., a Brazilian holding company, which through its wholly-owned subsidiary EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio Ltda. (“EsoTV”), combines live television broadcasts with a telecommunications component to create live, interactive television programming for the Brazilian viewing public. Brazil Interactive Media, Brazil Interactive Media Participações, Ltda. and EsoTV shall be collectively referred to herein as “Brazil Interactive Media” or the “Company”. Brazil Interactive Media’s Brazilian subsidiary, EsoTV, was founded and commenced operations in 2008.
On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by which Naturewell, Incorporated became the ultimate parent company of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. With the effectiveness of the merger, Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. changed its name to “BIMI, Inc.” On May 16, 2013, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) with the state of Delaware, changing the name of the Company to Brazil Interactive Media, Inc., effecting a reverse merger at a ratio of 8,484 to one, and decreasing the Company’s authorized capital from 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01, to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01.
Subsequent to the merger, the former Brazil Interactive Media Shareholders now hold approximately 93.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company and the remaining 6.5% is owned by the Company's pre-merger shareholders. The Company received a new stock symbol, BIMI, which reflects the new name of the Company.
Current Business of Our Company
As of March 13, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, EsoTV, commenced the business of producing live TV shows with an interactive telephone calling component using its own unique and proprietary programs that include quiz shows, games, psychics and live chat formats. The Company’s program content reaches the nationwide Brazilian television audience via an in-studio satellite signal uplink to a variety of Brazilian TV broadcast networks.
At its facilities in São Paulo, Brazil, the Company operates two modern television studios, producing and transmitting, via satellite, live television content to TV stations throughout Brazil. Brazil Interactive Media currently broadcasts throughout Brazil. The Company has the capacity to broadcast its satellite signal throughout Latin America, in case the Company should decide to launch its programs in countries outside of Brazil. Through the negotiation and purchase of block television time for strategic times and networks, the Company distributes its content directly to its target audience throughout Brazil. Brazil Interactive Media currently leases two satellite uplinks and produces three daily live shows, providing 13 hours of live television program content daily. Brazilian television viewers participate in the shows in real time via telephone, calling into the Company’s voice system to participate in the show formats, which, depending on the particular show, could include the chance to respond to a question live on the air, or participate in a presenter’s conversation with other audience members. Audience participants calling in dial telephone numbers belonging to the Company’s telecommunications partners. The Company’s Brazilian telecommunications partners charge audience participants various per-minute rates for the incoming calls and share a portion of the revenue with the Company.
The Company currently broadcasts its programs on four Brazilian television channels: MixTV, VTV, Rede Brazil and Terra Viva. The programs may be seen those channels in the daytime slot, from 11 am until 2 pm, and in the early morning slot, from 12 am until 3 am. Programming channels and time slots vary from time to time as the Company negotiates block media times in advance and introduces new programs periodically in order to best reach its target audience. The Company is currently substantially dependent upon business with one Brazilian telecommunications partner, Brasil Telecom (operating in Brasil under the brand name “Oi”). The Company does not know what portion of Oi’s revenue comes to the Company, and the Company receives 100% of the Company’s income from this continuing co-billing contract, by which the Company monetizes the sale of the major part of its services to the public.

Cost of revenues was recorded at $1,489,534 and $937,800 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $3,185,803 and $1,640,884, respectively. Cost of revenues consists primarily of cost of media time, television production contractors and prize payouts. The increase in the cost of revenues is directly attributed to the increase in airtime and audience participation which resulted in increase in subcontractor expenses for TV shows and cost of media, as well as an increase in prize payouts.
Operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
We had operating expenses of $468,495 and $123,591 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, while the operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $985,730 and $262,243, respectively. The expenses were mainly composed of TV studio rent and maintenance costs, depreciation of equipment, non-TV subcontractor costs, investor relation costs, legal and professional fees, security and traveling expenses. The increase in operating expenses is a result of the growth in revenues from the various TV shows run by the company.
Net (Loss) Income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
We had net losses of $59,043 and $153,758 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, while we experienced a net income of $10,834 and a loss of $163,263 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was attributed to the suspension of one of the Company’s TV shows, while the loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was attributed to low level profits generated from the Telecom calls related to the TV shows. The Net Income of $10,834 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was attributed to sufficient gross profit generated from the Company’s telecom calls related to the TV shows, which covered our operating expenses. The loss of $163,263 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was attributed to high corporate income taxes to the Brazilian tax authority due to the Company’s tax treatment election.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012
Cash flows used in operating activities were $172,422 and $204,527, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The $172,422 in cash used for 2013 was due to increase in customer receivables, a result of new payment terms from the Company’s largest customer. This variance was reduced by an increase in vendor payables as the Company was able to establish new payment terms with vendors. In addition, the Company reduced prepayments to suppliers, and negotiated a long term financing arrangement with the Brazilian tax authority in an effort to pay down its corporate tax liability. The $204,527 in cash used in 2012 was due primarily to an increase in vendor prepayments for media airtime. However, this was offset by an increase in vendor payables and the Company’s ability to establish a long term financing arrangement with the Brazilian Tax authority in an effort to pay down its corporate taxes.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 and $5,124 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This was mainly attributed to the purchase of TV studio equipment.
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $168,556 and $20,998, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the cash flow provided by financing activities was attributed mainly to the issuance of preferred stock for $171,000 cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash flows provided by financing activities were mainly due to proceeds from additional bank loans in the amount of $42,465, offset by repayment of bank loans for the period in the amount of $21,467.
Capital Expenditures
Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through June 30, 2013 with a series of debt and equity transactions, primarily with related parties. If we are unable to receive additional cash from our related parties, we may need to rely on financing from outside sources through debt or equity transactions. Our related parties are under no legal obligation to provide us with capital infusions. Failure to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
We had cash of $109,700 on hand as of June 30, 2013. Currently, we have enough cash to fund our operations for the next 6 months. This is based on current positive cash flows from operation and potential funding from investor capital groups. Modifications to our business plans may require additional capital for us to operate. For example, if we are unable to raise additional capital in the future, this could affect our ability to purchase media in advance and at a discount. This may result in lower revenues and market share for us. In addition, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us when needed or available on terms favorable to us.
On a long-term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation and expansion of operations, receipt of revenues, and additional infusions of capital and debt financing. Our current capital and revenues are insufficient to fund such expansion. If we choose to launch such an expansion campaign, we will require substantially more capital. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our growth potential will be adversely affected and we will have to significantly modify our plans.
Our success will be dependent upon implementing our plan of operations and the risks associated with our business plan. Our strategy is to purchase TV media in advance and discounted prices which also affects our gross profit. We plan to strengthen our position in our market.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and it is not anticipated that the Company will enter into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Intellectual Property
In order to protect its proprietary television program formats and designs, the Company has applied for several trademarks with the Brazilian patent and trademark office.
Customer Base
The Company’s principal customers are members of the Brazilian television viewing public who use cellular telephones. Due to the Company’s business model, where income flows from third-party telecommunications providers who bill the Company’s customers directly, the Company does not have access to comprehensive or detailed information regarding the Company’s customers. However, based on experience of monitoring financial results of the Company’s television programs, the Company attempts to design its programs to appeal to male and female television viewers of all social classes and primarily middle class economic means between the ages of 18 and 50.
Employees
The Company contracts with thirty-six independent technical television engineers, television production staff, financial staff, and clerical and administrative support persons on an on-going as-needed basis. The majority of our third-party contractors are members of a Brazilian television industry labor union, in accordance with Brazilian law. There are no employment agreements.
Facilities
The Company does not own any real estate. The Company leases its principal office in the U.S.A. at 801 Brickell Avenue, Suite 901, Miami, Florida 33131. The Company’s subsidiary in Brazil leases approximately 25,000 square feet of offices and television studios in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Current monthly rent in Miami is $290 and in Brazil is $10,000.
The Company has no plans to acquire any property in the immediate future. The Company believes that its current facilities are adequate for its needs through the next twelve months, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate expansion of the Company's operations.
Item 3. Quantitative & Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost- benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of June 30, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
For the reasons described below, the Company increased its internal controls regarding its Brazilian subsidiary, to improve financial reporting, translation of financial statements from Brazilian GAAP to U.S. GAAP, and provide greater oversight over financial reporting throughout the Company.
On April 29, 2013, the Company filed an 8-K advising that the Company had decided to restate its financial statements from December 31, 2012, that were originally published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 21, 2013, regarding the financial statements of the Company’s newly-acquired Brazilian operating subsidiary.
The Company determined that the restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of a material misstatement, announced in the Company’s Form 8-K filed April 29, 2013, was an indicator of a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. To address the weakness, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over the financial reporting control environment with regards to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary EsoTV.
The Company acquired EsoTV in a merger transaction entered into on March 13, 2013 and made effective on March 27, 2013 (the “Merger”). Due to the limited size of EsoTV’s administrative support staff, the financial constraints on the Company, and the inherent difficulties associated with the review, consolidation and translation of financial statements from a foreign financial system into US GAAP in collaboration with local third-party accounting providers, management was not able to develop or implement controls related to the segregation of duties for purposes of financial reporting prior the time of the Merger. Additionally, the Company has identified that a material weakness existed prior to the time of the Merger resulting from a lack of expertise in accounting for foreign-based transactions. Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, or as of March 27, 2013, based on the criteria established in the “Internal Integrated Framework” issued by COSO.
Subsequent to the Merger, the Company hired a Chief Financial Officer with considerable international, and specifically Latin American, financial reporting and consolidation experience. The errors were identified in April 2013, during the initial supervisory visit to the subsidiary by the Company’s new CFO, as part of a review for the implementation of a top-down evaluation of internal financial reporting controls in the newly merged and consolidated corporate structure of the Company.
As a result of the identification of the errors and the restatement of the Company’s financials, we believe the entity-level controls implemented by the Company post-Merger in regards to its newly-acquired subsidiary were sufficiently capable of detecting the material misstatement that resulted in the need to file a restatement. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company implemented a processing and control system that involves integrating accounting and bookkeeping service environments in a secure web-based platform that we believe provides transparency and oversight to how transactions are initiated, authorized, processed, and recorded internally. The Company has also implemented internal accounting controls to in an attempt to eliminate the risk of management override.
As a result of the Company’s evaluation and subsequent remedial steps as outlined above, the Company believes that its management now has a sufficient level of detail and degree of assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, management believes that the likelihood of the occurrence of future material weaknesses that could result in misstatements is remote.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
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. 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 a company have been detected. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
