RTG VENTURES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim consolidated financial statements of RTG Ventures Inc., . (“we,” “us,” “our,” “RTG” or the “Company”) are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, availability of capital resources, the timing of acquisitions, and the sensitivity of our business to economic conditions. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the RTG Ventures, Inc.  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Description of Business
 
RTG Ventures, Inc. is an OTC:QB listed company offering a turnkey media monetization solution to rights owners of music video content.  RTGV's total product offering is a Monetization Platform which allows rights owners to define and tag media content in detail, set and enforce rights management and distribution rules, receive payment on distribution and obtain detailed analytics in real time.

RTG Ventures is organized as three divisions: Media Systems, Payment Systems and Solutions, each of which contains both wholly-owned companies and joint ventures with independent business plans, strategies and management. In addition to servicing their discrete markets, these companies all contribute to RTG Ventures' total product offering for media rights owners.

NOTE 2 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE

For all periods prior to August 31, 2010, the Company considered itself a development stage enterprise. During the six months ended February 28, 2011, the Company has generated approximately $900,000 in revenue and made significant progress toward achieving it’s intended business plan in becoming a full-service digital media and monetization company with an integrated value proposition unique in the industry. As a result of the generation of historically significant revenue as well as a result of the Company development we no longer consider ourselves a development stage enterprise.

NOTE 3 - LIQUIDITY

As of February 28, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $1,380,588 at February 28, 2011 our cash used in operating activities amounted to $181,369.  Our results of operations for the six months ended February 28, 2011 resulted in net loss of $748,428.  During the six months ended February 28, 2011 the Company received $230,500 in the form of notes and capital contributions (Note 7 and Note 12). We will need to raise equity or borrow additional capital to finance our operating deficit and our continued participation in planned activities. If additional financing is not available, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our business activities.  If we are unable to fund our operating cash flow needs and planned capital investments, it may be necessary to sell a portion of our interests.

NOTE 4 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks. The Company considers cash equivalents to include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable

The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010, management has determined that an allowance is not necessary.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (primarily three to five years).

NOTE 4 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and consists of finished goods.  Cost is determined using the FIFO method.  To ensure inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its inventories.  The Company also periodically performs an evaluation of inventory for excess and obsolete items.  Such evaluations are based on management’s judgment and use of estimates.  Such estimates incorporate inventory quantities on-hand, aging of the inventory, sales forecasts for particular product groupings, planned dispositions of product lines and overall industry trends.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 605, formerly, SAB 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenues from services are recognized when the services are performed, evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable.
 
Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

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

Computation of Net Loss Per Share

The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification “ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is calculated on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from the issuance of stock options and warrants. Dilutive earnings per share is not shown as the effect is anti-dilutive. There were no common stock equivalents at February 28, 2011.
 
 Stock Based Compensation

We account for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”   ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating in foreign countries are translated into U.S. dollars using both the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date or historical rate, as applicable. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the year.

NOTE 4 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
 
 ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
 
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2:
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
 
The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of February 28, 2011, with the exception of its convertible notes payable and derivative liability.  The carrying amounts of these liabilities at February 28, 2011 approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
 
Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of February 28, 2011 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.
 
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
On August 2, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies.” The ASU reflects changes made by the SEC in Final Rulemaking Release No. 33-9026 , which was issued in April 2009 and amended SEC requirements in Regulation S-X (17 CFR 210.1-01 et seq.) and Regulation S-K ( 17 CFR 229.10 et seq.) and made changes to financial reporting requirements in response to the FASB's issuance of SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), and SFAS No. 160 , “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” ( FASB ASC 810). The provisions of ASU 2010-21 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly  review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10K for the year ended August 31, 2010 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.

In September, 2010 the Company converted a convertible debenture for $25,000 at $0.01 and issued 2,500,000 shares.

In September 2010, the Company agreed with a third party non-affiliate to an 8% interest bearing convertible debenture for $53,000 due in nine months. The balance can be paid in full or can be converted into shares on or after March 26, 2011 at an average share price computed on the 30 days prior to conversion. This convertible note contains round down provisions relative to the conversion price of the note.  Effective September 1, 2010 the Company adopted (FASB ASC 815-40-15-5) ("ASC 815") "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" which outlines new guidance for being indexed to an entity's own stock and the resulting liability or equity classification based on that conclusion.  The adoption of ASC 815 affects the accounting for convertible instruments and warrants with provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price ("down - round" provisions).  The Company recorded an initial valuation of the derivative liability equal to the amount of the estimated fair value of the embedded conversion features amounting to $53,000. The company utilized a Black-Scholes stock option valuation model to calculate the fair value of the convertible shares at the date of issuance and as of February 28, 2011. In March 2011, the Company paid in full obligation the balance of the convertible debenture.

In October, 2010 the Company converted a convertible debenture for $25,000 at $0.01 and issued 2,500,000 shares.

Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results
 
This Current Report on Form 10-Q and other written reports and oral statements made from time to time by the Company may contain predictive statements, all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. One can identify these predictive statements by their use of words such as "expects," "plans," "will," "estimates," "forecasts," "projects" and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address the Company's growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from the Company's predictive statements. These factors include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No predictive statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially. The Company does not assume the obligation to update any predictive statement. One should carefully evaluate such statements in light of factors described in the Company's filings with the SEC, especially on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. In various filings the Company has identified important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. One should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the reader should not consider any such list to be a complete list of all potential risks or uncertainties.
 
Company Overview
 
The following Results of Operation should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.

The Company is operating with a Business Plan in place. In 2006, the Company identified a business in digital and broadband internet media and online global payment systems in the UK which lent itself to both organic growth and growth by acquisition. From that time, we have been evolving the Business Plan to maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks inherent in a challenging economic environment. All of these efforts were conducted under the contractual requirements of a Share Exchange Agreement. On March 20, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Atlantic Network Holdings Limited, New Media Television (Europe) Limited ("NMTV"), and Certain Outside Stockholders Listed on Exhibit A thereto to acquire all of the outstanding shares of NMTV. Atlantic Network Holdings Limited is a Guernsey company limited by shares and NMTV is a United Kingdom private company limited by shares. The transaction was subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the filing by the Company of all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the satisfactory completion of the audit of NMTV's financial statements for each of its past three fiscal years.  The conditions of closing were not met by ANHL and the agreement was rescinded on March 30, 2010. A new agreement with Cloud Channel Limited renamed RTG Ventures (Europe) Limited was consummated on March 31, 2010. The consolidated financials were filed as an 8-K on September 3, 2010 which is also the closing date for the transaction.

In August, 2009, RTGV signed a Letter of Intent with International Financial Systems Ltd. (IFS) a private company, to include iPayu, another dimension in the payment systems division of our Business Plan as described on our website. www.rtgventures.com. The Letter of Intent became a joint venture with RTG Ventures (Europe) Ltd in April, 2010.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of RTG Ventures (Europe) Ltd from its stockholders for consideration consisting of Convertible Preferred Shares of RTG Ventures, Inc. according to the valuation methodologies outlined in the Share Exchange Agreements of Bitemark MC Limited and Stylar Limited. RTG Ventures (Europe) Ltd has been valued 12 months forward using forecasts submitted by them and agreed by the Company. Based on the results after 12 months, shareholders will be able to convert the preferred shares into common stock using the average share price of the 30 days preceding the conversion. At conversion the valuations will be adjusted up to a maximum of 25% in either direction using performance against forecast. All preferred stock will be held by RTGV's transfer agent for the 12 month period.
 
RTG Ventures, Inc. is an OTC:QB listed company offering a turnkey media monetization solution to rights owners of music video content.  RTGV's total product offering is a Monetization Platform which allows rights owners to define and tag media content in detail, set and enforce rights management and distribution rules, receive payment on distribution and obtain detailed analytics in real time.

In addition to servicing their discrete markets, these companies all contribute to RTG Ventures' total product offering for media rights owners.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended February 28, 2010

Revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2011 were $456,209, compared to $nil for the three months ended February 28, 2010.  Cost of sales was $224,252 for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to $nil for the comparable period of 2010.  Changes are the result of the acquisition of the operating entities as described herein that took place in September 2010. The Company did not have any operations in 2009 and most of 2010.

Total operating expenses for the quarter ended February were $555,843 compared to $334,623 for the comparable period of 2010, an increase of 66%.  The increased operating expenses in 2010 resulted primarily from the acquisitions of operating entities as well as the professional fees associated with the closing of the transactions

We recognized a comprehensive net loss of $286,958 for the three months ended February 28, 2011 compared to a loss of $334,623 for the three months ended February 28, 2010, a decrease of 14%.  Net losses in prior periods were attributable to general and administrative expenses whereas losses incurred during the current period result from losses incurred in the operation of our subsidiaries.

For the Six Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to the Six Months Ended February 28, 2010

Revenues for the six months ended February 28, 2011 were $907,512, compared to $nil for the six months ended February 28, 2010.  Cost of sales was $454,412 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to $nil for the comparable period of 2009.  Changes are the result of the acquisition of the operating entities as described herein that took place in September 2010. The Company did not have any operations in 2009 and most of 2010.

Total operating expenses for the six months ended February 28, 2011 were $1,238,477compared to $675,107 for the comparable period of 2010, an increase of 83%.  The increased operating expenses in 2010 resulted primarily from the acquisitions of operating entities as well as the professional fees associated with the closing of the transactions

We recognized a comprehensive net loss of $742,099 for the six months ended February 28, 2011 compared to a loss of $675,107 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, a increase of 10%.  Net losses in prior periods were attributable to general and administrative expenses whereas losses incurred during the current period result from losses incurred in the operation of our subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of February 28, 2011, we had $106,811 in cash and total liabilities of $1,833,229.  Our current liabilities exceed our current assets as of February 28, 2011, and we have recorded negative cash flows from operations in this and prior fiscal years.  To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue to support the operating costs of the business, and no assurance can be made that the Company will generate revenues sufficient to support operating costs in the foreseeable future.  As a result, as of February 28, 2011, management could not be assured that the Company’s current finances would enable us to implement our plans and satisfy our estimated financial needs over the next 12 months.

Cash Used in Operations

Net cash used in operations for the periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $181,369 and $90,000 respectively.  The changes in net cash used in operating activities are attributable to our net income adjusted for non-cash charges as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in working capital as discussed above.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $51,350 and nil respectively.  The changes in net cash provided by investing activities are attributable to the acquisitions made in September 2010 as well as the purchase of fixed assets.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $230,500 and $90,000 respectively.  The changes in net cash provided by financing activities are attributable to the proceeds received from the issuance of a convertible notes payable and the capital contribution made by an officer of the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.  Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

We have financed our activities to date from sales of debentures and loans from shareholders, officers and third parties. As at February 28, 2011 we had an accumulated deficit of $8,206,390. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm, Sherb & Co., LLP, on our audited financial statements contains a qualification regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly  review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10K for the year ended August 31, 2010 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the amount of unbilled vendors payable for services performed during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
