STRATUS
MEDIA GROUP, INC.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
1. Business
Business
On
March
14, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 20,
2007 (“Merger Agreement”) by and among Feris International, Inc. (“Feris”),
Feris Merger Sub, Inc. and Patty Linson, on the one hand, and Pro Sports &
Entertainment, Inc. (“PSEI”), on the other hand, Feris issued 49,500,000 shares
of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares
of
the PSEI, resulting in PSEI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Feris and
is
the surviving entity for accounting purposes (“Reverse Merger”).
Subsequent
to this Reverse Merger, Feris’ corporate name was changed to Stratus Media
Group, Inc. (“Company”). PSEI, a California corporation, was organized on
November 23, 1998 and specializes in sports and entertainment events that it
owns, operates, manages, markets and sells in national markets. In addition,
PSEI acquired the business of Stratus Rewards (“Stratus”) in August 2005, a
credit card rewards program that uses the Visa card platform. Stratus is a
private lifestyle club offering a unique luxury rewards redemption program,
including private jet travel, premium travel opportunities, exclusive events
and
luxury merchandise. The sponsoring bank that ran the program when the Company
acquired Stratus stopped processing new members and sending the Company
statements in November 2007 and provided notice in March 2008 that it was
discontinuing the program. While several cardmembers are continuing to use
their
cards with the sponsor bank, the Stratus Rewards program is currently inactive
and the Company has not recorded revenues since November 2007. The Company
is
actively seeking a new sponsoring bank to restart the program in the fourth
quarter of this year, but there can be no assurances that it will be able to
do
so.
Management's
Plan of Operations
The
Company has suffered losses from operations and currently lacks liquidity to
meet its current obligations. The Company had net losses for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 of $220,129 and $763,622, respectively.
As
of June 30, 2008, the Company had negative working capital of $6,244,013 and
cumulative losses of $11,052,073. Unless additional financing is obtained,
the
Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. In the three months
ended June 30, 2008, the Company raised $25,000 in capital through the issuance
of common stock. The Company is actively seeking additional capital. However,
due to the current economic environment and the Company’s current financial
condition, we cannot assure current and future stockholders there will be
adequate capital available when needed and on acceptable
terms.
The
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in
the
normal course of business. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset
carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Basis
of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Notes to the financial statements which
would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the financial
statements for the most recent fiscal year 2006 for PSEI have been
omitted. The Company has not completed its audit for the year ending
December 31, 2007 and has not filed an amended Report on Form 10-K to show
audited results for that year. The results of operations for the three and
six
month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of
the
results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes which are part
of
the Company's Report on Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2008 that included audited
results for the year ended December 31, 2006 and unaudited results for the
ten
months ended October 31, 2007.
Stock
Split
On
March
14, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 3.582 for 1.000
forward stock split of the PSEI's common stock. The effective date of the stock
split was March 14, 2008 and was concurrent with the Reverse Merger. All share
and per share information have been adjusted to give effect to the stock split
for all periods presented, including all references throughout the financial
statements and accompanying notes.
6
Net
Loss per Share
Basic
and
dilutive loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share also includes
the effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents outstanding
during the period, and assumes the conversion of the Company's stock options
and
warrants are dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, no
potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from diluted loss per share
since
the options and warrants are out of the money and thus
antidilutive.
3. Litigation
In
connection with a settlement agreement, on or about May 27, 2005, a legal
judgment was entered in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles against
the Company in favor of the previous owners of the “Core Tour” event, in the
amount of $482,126. In addition, this judgment specified that the Company must
pay interest of $39,664. The dispute arose out of the Company’s asset purchase
of the “Core Tour” event from the plaintiffs. As of June 30, 2008, the Company
has recorded the $482,126 amount of the judgment plus accrued interest of
$136,775, for a total liability of $618,901. On July 31, 2008, PSEI Management
and Core Tour have agreed to a settlement whereby PSEI will retain all rights
of
the Core Tour events in exchange for payment of $482,126 in cash by December
31,
2008 and 74,000 shares of Common Stock issued on July 31, 2008 that was valued
at $148,000.
In
March
2008, a court case was dismissed for which a $365,579 reserve had been
established on the balance sheet. This reserve was reversed, with the offset
going to other income.
4.
Acquisition of Stratus Rewards
In
accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 15, 2005, by and
between PSEI and Stratus Rewards, LLC (“Stratus”), PSEI acquired the business of
Stratus, a credit card rewards program.
The
total
consideration for this acquisition was $3,000,000, with PSEI entering into
a
note payable of $1,000,000 and issuing 666,667 common shares valued at
$2,000,000. The note is payable in eight quarterly equal payments over a 24
month period, with the first payment due upon completion of the first
post-public merger funding of a minimum amount of $3,000,000.
The
results of operations of the business acquired have been included in the
Company’s Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. Depreciation
and amortization related to the acquisition were calculated based on the
estimated fair market values and estimated useful lives for property and
equipment and an independent valuation for certain identifiable intangible
assets acquired.
The
sponsoring bank that ran the program when the Company acquired Stratus stopped
processing new members and sending the Company statements in November 2007
and
provided notice in March 2008 that it was discontinuing the program. While
several cardmembers are continuing to use their cards with the sponsor bank,
the
Stratus Rewards program is currently inactive and the Company has not recorded
revenues since November 2007. The Company is actively seeking a new sponsoring
bank to restart the program in the fourth quarter of this year, but there can
be
no assurances that it will be able to do so. Despite this inactive status,
the
Company believes that the brand and value of the business remains intact and
will increase in value with the addition of a new sponsoring bank. Accordingly,
the Company has not recorded any impairment of the carrying value on its
financial statements.

In
accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets,
other than the purchased licensed technology and the membership list for
Stratus, are considered to have indefinite lives and are therefore no longer
amortized, but rather are subject to annual impairment tests. The Company’s
annual impairment testing date is December 31, but the Company monitors the
facts and circumstances for all intangible properties and will record an
impairment if warranted by adverse changes in facts and circumstances. The
Company determined that it did not have any impairment of goodwill or intangible
assets at December 31, 2007 or June 30, 2008, and thus did not recognize
any impairment expense in the periods then ended. The purchased licensed
technology and membership list are being amortized over their estimated useful
life of 10 years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
amortization expense was $11,352, $11,352, $22,704 and $22,704,
respectively.

Warrants
During
the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company granted warrants with rights to
purchase 43,283 shares of its common stock with a strike price of $0.84 cents
per share. These warrants have terms of five years and the exercise prices
for
these warrants are to be the share prices applicable in the next Company
Financing after February 2005 as a result of the proposed Reverse Merger. The
warrants will expire in 2010. The Company valued these warrants, using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, at $15,562
and $15,562, respectively, and included this liability in other accrued expenses
and other liabilities. There were no warrants granted in fiscal 2007 or the
six
months ended June 30, 2008.
These
warrants were granted as financing costs related to notes payable agreements
with two shareholders and one non-shareholder. The warrants are accounted for
as
financing costs which were capitalized and amortized over the five-year life
of
the debt. Total amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 were $0 and $1,813, respectively. Total amortization expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0 and $5,438,
respectively.
The
Company analyzed these warrants in accordance with EITF pronouncement No. 00-19,
“Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially
Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”. The Company determined that the warrants
should be classified as a liability based on the fact that the number of shares
attributable to these warrants is indeterminate.
13.
Commitments and contingencies
Effective
September 1, 2006, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office

Hollywood, California with a security deposit of $34,200 at a monthly rate
of
$8,500 from April 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008, and a monthly rent of $11,400 per
month from July 1, 2008 until the end of the lease at Jun 30, 2010.

Description
of Business
Overview
On
March
14, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 20,
2007 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Feris International, Inc. (“Feris”),
Feris Merger Sub, Inc. and Patty Linson, on the one hand, and Pro Sports &
Entertainment, Inc. (“PSEI”), on the other hand, Feris issued 49,500,000 shares
of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares
of
the PSEI, resulting in PSEI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Feris and
is
the surviving entity for accounting purposes (“Reverse Merger”).
Subsequent
to this Reverse Merger, Feris’ corporate name was changed to Stratus Media
Group, Inc. (“The Company”). PSEI, a California corporation, was organized on
November 23, 1998 and specializes in sports and entertainment events that it
owns, operates, manages, markets and sells in national markets. In addition,
PSEI acquired the business of Stratus Rewards (“Stratus”) in August 2005, a
credit card rewards program that uses the Visa card platform. Stratus is a
private lifestyle club offering a unique luxury rewards redemption program,
including private jet travel, premium travel opportunities, exclusive events
and
luxury merchandise. The sponsoring bank that ran the program when the Company
acquired Stratus stopped processing new members and sending the Company
statements in November 2007 and provided notice in March 2008 that it was
discontinuing the program. While several cardmembers are continuing to use
their
cards with the sponsor bank, the Stratus Rewards program is currently inactive
and the Company has not recorded revenues since November 2007. The Company
is
actively seeking a new sponsoring bank to restart the program in the fourth
quarter of this year, but there can be no assurances that it will be able to
do
so.
PSEI
is
located in Los Angeles and was formed as a California corporation in November
1998. PSEI is a development stage company that owns or is targeting the
acquisition of live entertainment companies in the following areas (“strategic
verticals”): Action Sports, Auto Shows, College Sports, Concerts & Music
Festivals, Food Entertainment, Diversified Media Marketing, Motor Sports,
Running Events, Trade Shows & Expos, and Talent Management. Assuming PSEI is
able to raise appropriate capital, PSEI intends to operate its current portfolio
of live entertainment events, activate certain existing properties, operate
Stratus Rewards and acquire and aggregate a global platform of live
entertainment events.
The
business plan of PSEI is to own and operate 100% of all event revenue rights
and
derive its revenue primarily from ticket /admission sales, corporate
sponsorship, television, print, radio, on-line and broadcast rights fees,
merchandising, and hospitality activities. With additional funding, the
objective of management is to build a profitable business by implementing an
aggressive acquisition growth plan to acquire quality companies, build corporate
infrastructure, and increase organic growth. The plan is to leverage operational
efficiencies across an expanded portfolio of events to reduce costs and increase
revenues. The Company intends to promote the Stratus Rewards card and its events
together, obtaining maximum cross marketing benefit among card members,
corporate sponsors and PSEI events.
13
Strategy
PSEI
is a
“roll up” strategy, targeting sports and live entertainment events and companies
that are independently owned and operated or being divested by larger companies
with the plan to aggregate them into one large leading live entertainment
company. The strategy is to purchase these events for approximately 4-6 times
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of the
events with the expectation that the combined EBITDA of the Company from these
events will receive a much higher valuation multiple in the public
markets.
Assuming
the availability of capital, PSEI is targeting acquisitions of event properties
in each of the strategic verticals. The goal is to aggressively build-up a
critical mass of events, venues and companies that allow for numerous
cross-event synergies. Specifically:
·
|
On
the expense side, to share sales, financial and operations resources
across multiple events, creating economies of scale, increasing the
Company’s purchasing power, eliminating duplicative costs, and bringing
standardized operating and financial procedures to all events, thus
increasing the margins of all
events.
|
·
|
On
the revenue side, to present to advertisers and corporate sponsors
an
exciting and diverse menu of demographics and programming that allows
sponsors “one stop shopping” rather than having to deal with each event on
its own, and in so doing, convert these sponsors into “strategic
partners.”
|
With
these core operational synergies and subject to available capital, PSEI intends
to (1) expand its acquisition strategy of additional live sports and
entertainment events and companies, (2) create entirely new event properties
on
the forefront of the “experience economy” and thus tap into people’s lifestyle
passions, and (3) cross-promote the Stratus Rewards Visa card with these events
to enhance the results of the card and event businesses.
The
business plan of PSEI is to provide integrated event management, television
programming, marketing, talent representation and consulting services in the
sports and other live entertainment industries. PSEI’s event management,
television programming and marketing services may involve:
·
|
managing
sporting events, such as college bowl games, golf tournaments and
auto
racing team and events;
|
·
|
managing
live entertainment events, such as music festivals, car shows and
fashion
shows;
|
·
|
producing
television programs, principally sports entertainment and live
entertainment programs; and
|
·
|
marketing
athletes, models and entertainers and
organizations.
|
The
objective of this approach is to consolidate event properties and then craft
individual large-scale deals to allow companies to bundle advertising across
diverse events.
For
example, subject to available capital, PSEI is targeting the acquisition of
eight music festivals by the end of 2009, with the goal of combining them with
its current music festival events and having one event per month. Through these
acquisitions, the Company plans to amass core competencies in the areas of
promotion, operations, marketing, sales and distribution. The objective is
to
afford PSEI better negotiating leverage with cost centers such as advertising,
marketing, venue and talent costs on a regional, national and international
scale. Additionally, by offering advertisers access to other PSEI’s properties,
the Company hopes to create greater value for the advertisers by cross
pollinating multi verticals within PSEI’s portfolio offering other key
demographic target markets to the client and creating greater value, more
impression and a higher cost point for less risk.
Acquisitions
in Process
Exclusive
Events, S.A. - On
July
30, 2008, the Company signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire 100%
of
the common stock of Exclusive Events S.A., a privately held corporation based
in
Geneva, Switzerland that provides Formula One racecar experiences to its
customers, in a cash and stock transaction with an aggregate base value of
approximately $1,612,000, with $1,128,000 in cash and $484,000 in shares of
the
Company’s common stock, with the number of such shares to be determined by
dividing this amount by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock
for thirty days prior to the closing of the transaction. In addition, if
Exclusive Events meets certain financial performance criteria for fiscal years
2008 and 2009, additional payments totaling $1,612,000, subject to certain
conditions and adjustments, will be due, with $484,000 in cash and $1,128,000
in
shares of the Company’s common stock, with the number of shares to be determined
by dividing the amount due by the average closing price of the Company’s common
stock for thirty days prior to the computation of the performance bonus. The
transaction, subject to customary conditions and approvals and the Company’s
ability to fund the cash portion of the transaction price, is expected to close
on or before December 15, 2008.
14
Nouveau
- On
April
21, 2008, the Company agreed to purchase the tangible and intangible assets
of
Nouveau Model Talent Management, Inc. (“Nouveau”)., a modeling and talent
management agency, for 500,000 shares of Company common stock, of which 166,667
shares will be issued at the time of closing, 166,667 shares will be issued
one
year from closing and the remaining 166,666 shares will be issued two years
from
closing. The closing of this transaction requires that Nouveau obtain an audit
of its 2006 and 2007 financial statements and a review of its financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008. To date, Nouveau has
not
obtained this audit and review and the transaction has not closed.
The
following discussion relates to the operations of PSEI and should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements.
Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and
2007
Revenues
Our
revenues consist of event revenues from ticket sales, sponsorships, concessions
and merchandise, which are recorded when the event occurs, and Stratus revenues
from membership fees, fees on purchases and interest income earned on the
redemption trust. Membership fees are amortized over the twelve month period
and
fees from purchases and interest income are recorded when they
occur.
Revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 (“Current Period”) were $1,050, a
decrease of $60,258, or 98%, from the $61,308 in revenues realized for the
three
months ended June 30, 2007 (“Prior Period”). There were no event revenues in the
Current Period or the Prior Period. Stratus card revenues were $1,050 in the
Current Period, a decrease of $60,258, or 98%, from the Prior Period. The
sponsoring bank that ran the program when the Company acquired Stratus
discontinued the program in November 2007. The Stratus Rewards program is
currently inactive and the Company is actively seeking a new sponsoring bank
to
restart the program in the fourth quarter of this year. Revenues recognized
in
the Current Period reflect the amortization of membership fees received in
the
Prior Period.
Gross
Profit
Our
gross
profit represents revenues less the cost of goods sold. Our event cost of goods
sold consists of the costs renting the venue, structures at the venue,
concessions, and temporary personnel hired for the event. Cost of goods sold
for
the Stratus program are nominal.
There
was
no cost of goods sold for either period, so the gross margins were 100% of
revenues.

Expenses
Our
selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel, rent, travel,
office and other costs for selling and promoting events and running the
administrative functions of the Company. Legal and professional services are
paid to outside attorneys and accountants and are broken out separately given
the size of these expenses relative to selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Overall
operating expenses for the Current Period were $234,388, a decrease of $154,439,
or 40%, from $388,827 in the Prior Period. General and administrative expenses
of $161,841 decreased by $78,161, or 33%, from $240,002 in the Prior Period,
related to lower staffing levels in the Current Period. Legal and professional
services of $58,040 decreased by $76,152, or 57%, from $134,192 in the Prior
Period, related to the deferral of the 2007 audit for Pro Sports &
Entertainment, the predecessor company, to the third quarter of 2008.

notes payable.
Interest
expense was $46,398 in the Current Period, an increase of $13,920, or 36%,
from

Results
of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and

Revenues
Our
revenues consist of event revenues from ticket sales, sponsorships, concessions
and merchandise, which are recorded when the event occurs, and Stratus revenues
from membership fees, fees on purchases and interest income earned on the
redemption trust. Membership fees are amortized over the twelve month period
and
fees from purchases and interest income are recorded when they
occur.

Revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (“Current Period”) were $40,189, a
decrease of $73,472, or 65%, from the $113,661 in revenues realized for the
six
months ended June 30, 2007 (“Prior Period”). There were $33,606 in event
revenues in the Current Period compared to $15,950 in the Prior Period. Stratus
card revenues were $6,583 in the Current Period, a decrease of $91,128, or

acquired Stratus discontinued the program in November 2007. The Stratus Rewards

fees received in the Prior Period.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 contains an
explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern as a result of recurring losses, a working capital
deficiency, and negative cash flows. The financial statements do not include
any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that would be necessary
if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2008, we sold 29,850 shares to an investor for
$25,000. The Company is actively pursuing equity capital and is targeting an
initial raise of $2 million to $5 million. The proceeds raised will be used
for
operational expenses, settling existing liabilities, acquisitions and selling
expenses. Due to our history of operating losses and the current credit
constraints in the capital markets, we cannot assure you that such financing
will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we cannot obtain
such
financing, we will be forced to curtail our operations or may not be able to
continue as a going concern, and we may become unable to satisfy our obligations
to our creditors. In such an event we will need to enter into discussions with
our creditors to settle, or otherwise seek relief from, our
obligations.
At
June
30, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash
equivalents, advances of funds from officers and the issuance of equity
securities. In addition to funding operations, our principal short-term and
long-term liquidity needs have been, and are expected to be, the settling of
obligations to our creditors, capital expenditures, the funding of operating
losses until we achieve profitability, and general corporate purposes. In
addition, commensurate with our level of sales, we require working capital
for
purchases of inventories and sales and marketing costs to increase the promotion
and distribution of our products. At June 30, 2008, our cash and cash
equivalents were $16,297, and we had negative working capital of $6,244,013.
At
June 30, 2008, we had $7,478,680 in debt obligations and $215,000 is in default
for non-payment.

AND PROCEDURES

(a)
|
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and
procedures.
|
Our
chief
executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated our “disclosure
controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2008. These officers have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2008 to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
that
it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms. Management believes there is
non-compliance with controls that affects the integrity and timeliness of the
Company’s financial statements and the Company has used extensive review
following the closing date of the financial statements to compensate. The
Company intends to continue to evaluate its disclosure controls and procedures,
and make needed improvements.

(b)
|
Changes
in internal controls.
|
There
have been no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting
that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
