FREEZE TAG, INC.
(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — THE COMPANY
Nature of Business
The Company develops family-friendly casual games for tablets and smartphones. The Company’s core belief is that games should be enjoyed as a family activity, and not limited to any one demographic. The Company focuses on casual games because it believes that these games have a wider appeal to the majority of the population, which means that the Company’s revenue potential is large. The Company targets mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, because research shows that more games are being played on mobile devices than ever before. The release of more free games, the portability/convenience of mobile devices, and the introduction of lower priced models have resulted in high demand for tablets and smartphones, dramatically increasing the addressable market for the Company’s games. The Company’s management believes Freeze Tag is well positioned to take advantage of these important trends.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing software products in the form of online and downloadable games for PC, Mac and smartphone platforms. The Company distributes its products primarily through online games portals and smartphone device manufacturers (“distribution partners”), which market the games to end-users. The nature of our business is such that we sell games basically through four distribution outlets – WEB portals, brick and mortar retail distributors, mobile distributors and publishers, and our own web portal, www.freezetag.com.
Product Sales (web and mobile revenues)
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of our products upon the transfer of title and risk of loss to its customers, and once any performance obligations have been completed. Revenue from product sales is recognized after deducting the estimated allowance for returns and price protection.
Licensing Revenues (retail revenues- royalties)
Third-party licensees distribute games under license agreements with the Company. The Company receives royalties from the licensees as a result. The Company recognizes these royalties as revenues upon receipt of the monthly or quarterly (varies per distribution partner) revenue reports provided by the partner. Revenue from licensing/royalties is recognized after deducting the estimated allowance for returns and price protection.
8
FREEZE TAG, INC.
(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Some license agreements require a royalty advance from the licensee/distributor in which case the original advance is recognized as a liability and royalty revenue is deducted from the advance as earned.
Other Revenues
Other revenues primarily include Ad game revenue and work-for-hire game related revenue. The Company derives its advertising game revenue from certain of its partners that offer its games free of charge to consumers in exchange for the consumers being exposed to advertising embedded in the games. In this way, the Company does not receive revenue for the sale of the games, but rather a percentage of the “advertising” revenue generated by these player views. This method of generating revenue is essentially the same as traditional radio or television advertising where consumers are allowed to enjoy content for “free” but are forced to watch (or listen) to advertising before, in between and at the end of the programming content. Additionally, the Company derives some revenue from “work-for-hire” projects. Some of the Company’s partners occasionally ask the Company to render “work-for-hire” services for them such as preparing packaging materials. For example, a retail game and DVD publisher hired the Company to create several designs for printed packages that were used for games published by the publisher but not developed by the Company. For this work, the Company charges a one-time, fixed fee for each package design.
The Company recognizes this revenue once all performance obligations have been completed. In addition, persuasive evidence of an arrangement must exist and collection of the related receivable must be probable.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with current accounting standards when an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with large commercial banks. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures these balances, up to $250,000. All of the Company’s cash balances at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were insured. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no cash equivalents.
Allowances for Returns, Price Protection, and Doubtful Accounts
Because the majority of the Company’s business is derived through online portals (such as Big Fish Games) and wireless online app stores (such as Apple), there is no physical product, other than the downloadable bits of the games that is involved in the customer purchase. In the digital environment, the customer cannot ‘return’ a digital download product. Therefore, there are no returns. The customer can ask for a refund of a digital product, and if there are any, then they are reconciled or netted out by the Company’s distribution partners before the Company receives the corresponding payments and royalty statements. As such, the Company does not allow for returns, bad debts or price protection of digital download products.

FREEZE TAG, INC.
(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
However, the Company derives a small portion of its revenues from sales of physical packaged software for personal computers through distribution partners who sell through traditional retail channels. Product revenue is recognized net of allowances for price protection and returns and various customer discounts. The Company’s distribution partners who sell to retailers may allow returns for the packaged personal computer products; these partners may decide to provide price protection or allow returns for personal computer products after they analyze: (1) inventory remaining in the retail channel, (2) the rate of inventory sell-through in the retail channel, and (3) the remaining inventory on hand of the Company’s games. To allow for these returns, price protection and various customer discounts, some of the Company’s distribution partners who sell to retailers will hold back a percentage of the Company’s revenue. These “hold-back” amounts, typically a percentage of revenue, are then reconciled on a quarterly basis and detailed on the statements the Company receives from distribution partners. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011; the allowance for doubtful accounts was $9,934 and $9,934, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. All assets are currently depreciated over 3 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the statement of operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk, Major Customers and Major Vendors
The Company’s customers are the end-consumers that purchase its games from the websites where the Company has its games listed for sale. Therefore, the Company does not have any individual customers that represent any more than a fraction of its revenue. However, the Company does have primary distribution partners, which are the owners of the websites where it sells its games. Under the Company’s distribution agreements it is not obligated to make, distribute or sell any games. However, for any games the Company does make and wishes to distribute it can list them on one or more of these websites under a revenue sharing arrangement where it shares the revenue from any of its games that sell. The sharing arrangement varies greatly depending on the distributor with the Company generally keeping between 35% and 70% of the revenue and the distributor keeping the remainder of the revenue generated by each sale. At times the Company enters into “exclusivity options” whereby if a distributor wishes to have an exclusive period carrying the Company’s games (normally 30-90 days) it will agree to that in exchange for the distributor marketing the game in their newsletter and other marketing programs. Due to the fact the Company has a number of distribution partners and a variety of different websites where it can sell its games, the Company is not substantially dependent on any of its distribution partners or agreements. In addition to the distribution agreements, the Company currently has licensing agreements with Ohio Art Company and CMG Worldwide, which allow it to develop and distribute games around third party intellectual property in exchange for paying royalty payments. The Company is not substantially dependent on either of those licensing agreements.
During the period ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s primary distributors that represented 10% or more of its revenues were: Big Fish Games – 38%, Apple – 13% and Wild Tangent – 10%. During the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s primary distributors that represented 10% or more of its revenues were: Big Fish Games – 61%
At September 30, 2012, the Company’s primary distributors and partners that represented 10% or more of its accounts receivable were: Big Fish Games – 34%, Exent - 28%, and Wild Tangent – 18%, At December 31, 2011, the Company’s primary distributors and partners that represented 10% or more of its accounts receivable were: Exent - 25%, Big Fish Games – 18%, and Avanquest – 11%.

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 bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC Topic 740 includes accounting guidance which clarifies the accounting for the uncertainty in recognizing income taxes in an organization by providing detailed guidance for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure involving uncertain tax positions. This guidance requires an uncertain tax position to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized both upon the adoption of the related guidance and in subsequent periods.
The Company has no uncertain tax positions at any of the dates presented.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company derives a portion of its revenue from foreign countries, which report to the Company in foreign currency, but pay in U.S. Dollars. Because of the fluctuations between the reporting time and the payment period (up to 60 days), it is necessary to make adjustments to the Company’s accounting records. These adjustments are recorded under a Foreign Currency Translation expense account, and shown in the Statement of Operations as a General & Administrative expense.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation and ASC Subtopic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees ("ASC stock-based compensation guidance"). Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the requisite services period is based on the value of share-based payment awards after reduction for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s statement of operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were $156,013 and $16,033, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360-10"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820- 10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Inputs used in the valuation to derive fair value are classified based on a fair value hierarchy which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
·
|
Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
·
|
Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
|
·
|
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
|
Determining the category in which an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and these differences may be material.

Research and Development Costs
The Company charges costs related to research & development of products to general and administrative expense as incurred. The types of costs included in research and development expenses include research materials, salaries, contractor fees, and support materials.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs include direct costs incurred for internally developed products and payments made to independent software developers and/or contract engineers and artists. The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with the FASB guidance for the costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed (“ASC Subtopic 985-20”). Software development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product encompasses both technical design documentation and game design documentation, or the completed and tested product design and working model. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable against future revenues. For products where proven game engine technology exists (as is the case for most of the Company’s products), this may occur early in the development cycle. Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in the assessment of when technological feasibility is established. For most of the PC/Mac products, technological feasibility is established when a detailed game design document containing sufficient technical specifications written for a proven game engine or framework technology has been created and approved by management. However, technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to the appropriate expense account. Amounts that are considered ‘research and development’ that are not capitalized are immediately charged to general and administrative expense.
Prior to a product’s release, the Company expense, as part of “Cost of Sales—Product Development”, capitalized costs when the Company believes such amounts are not recoverable. Capitalized costs for those products that are cancelled or abandoned are charged to product development expense in the period of cancellation. Commencing upon product release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to “Cost of Sales—Product Development” based on the straight-line method over a twenty four month period.
The Company evaluates the future recoverability of capitalized software development costs and intellectual property licenses on a quarterly basis. For products that have been released in prior periods, the primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance. For products that are scheduled to be released in future periods, recoverability is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate or in which the licensed trademark or copyright is to be used. Criteria used to evaluate expected product performance include: historical performance of comparable products developed with comparable technology; orders for the product prior to its release; and, for any sequel product, estimated performance based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Based on current trends in the Company’s business, management has determined the expected shelf life of the majority of a game’s revenue will be realized over a two year period. Therefore, the Company has determined the appropriate amortization period for expensing capitalized production costs to be two years or twenty four months from date of the initial release, or first sale of the product for a specific technology platform. It is possible that the same game developed on different technology platforms (such as PC and Mac) will be launched on different release dates because product development cycles may differ and distribution partner release policies may differ.
At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, current and long-term capitalized software development costs on the balance sheet were $848,863 and $786,331, respectively.
From time to time, the Company engages in product development projects for third parties where the company does not retain the intellectual property rights to the games it develops. These types of development projects are often referred to as “work-for-hire.” In these instances, all costs associated with developing the games are expensed as they are incurred. The Company does this because the Company receives revenue based on project deliverables outlined as milestones in the development agreement executed by the Company and the third party that has engaged us to perform development work. These non-capitalized costs are represented as “Cost of Sales – Development Services” expenses on the Company’s financial statements.
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company “Cost of Sales – Development Services” were $0 and $0, respectively.
Intellectual Property Licenses (Prepaid Royalties)
Intellectual property license costs represent license fees paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks or copyrights in the development of the Company’s products. Intellectual property license costs represent license fees paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks, copyrights, software, technology, music or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development of the Company’s products. Depending upon the agreement with the rights holder, the Company may obtain the rights to use acquired intellectual property in multiple products over multiple years, or alternatively, for a single product. Minimum guaranteed royalty payments for intellectual property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (prepaid royalties or prepaid licensing fees), and a current liability, (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the contract when no significant performance remains with the licensor. Commencing upon the related product’s release date, intellectual property licenses costs are amortized to “Cost of Sales – Licensing” based upon the percentage of revenue outlined in the contract with each specific licensor. Generally, the Company’s intellectual property licensing contracts call for licensors to be paid a percentage of revenue actually received by the Company, with allowances for minimum guarantees. Sometimes, the terms of the specific licensing contracts allow for the Company to re-capture expenses before licensing out royalties are calculated.
Capitalized intellectual property costs for those products that are cancelled or abandoned are charged to product development expense in the period of cancellation.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, prepaid royalties (or prepaid licensing fees) were $8,208 and $12,046, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and has not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 — GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has incurred net losses of $731,363 and $101,479, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 the Company’s accumulated deficit is $1,953,549. During the period ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 3l, 2011, the Company continued to experience close to neutral cash flows from operations largely due to our continued investment spending for product development of game titles for the PC and other popular gaming platforms that are expected to benefit future periods. Those facts, along with the Company’s lack of access to a significant bank credit facility, create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company is currently evaluating alternatives to secure financing sufficient to support the operating requirements of the current business plan, as well as continuing to execute the business strategy of distributing game titles to digital distribution outlets, including mobile gaming app stores, online PC and Mac gaming portals, and opportunities for new devices such as tablet (mobile internet device) applications, mobile gaming platforms and international licensing opportunities.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success in securing sufficient financing and to successfully execute plans to return to positive cash flows during fiscal 2012. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Leases
The Company has been residing in its current building at 228 W. Main Street, Tustin, California since 2006. Since that time, the Company has paid rent on a month-to-month basis. As such, the Company is free to leave the current premises at any time with 30 days courtesy notice but the Company does not have a lease agreement with the property owner. This is the Company’s preference since it is the Company’s desire to be able to quickly expand to alternative office space should the Company’s growth require additional square footage than the current offices. The Company or Company employees or contractors own all of the computer and office equipment that is used in the course of business. The Company does not have any lease agreements for any office equipment.
Technology Payable
On June 22, 2011, the Company entered into a technology transfer agreement with an unaffiliated third party which included a liability in the amount of $36,000 and 96,000 shares of common stock (Note 11) in exchange for the right, title, and interest in the Marishco Game Engine. The liability is payable in 24 installments of $1,500 per installment and there is no stated interest rate. Therefore the balance of $36,000 was recorded as a liability, net of a discount of $2,834 with the discount to be amortized over the life of the liability using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a current liability of $13,044 and $18,000, respectively, and a long-term liability of $0 and $7,299, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company amortized the related debt discount amounts of $1,245 and $0, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the remaining debt discounts were $456 and $1,701, respectively.

Convertible Note Payable
On July 21, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to which the Company sold to Asher an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $62,500 (the “First Asher Note”). The First Asher Note has a maturity date of April 25, 2012, and is convertible into Company common stock at the greater of (i) the Variable Conversion Price and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 55% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 45%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Fixed Conversion Price” shall mean $0.00009. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the First Asher Note will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The purchase and sale of the First Asher Note closed on August 1, 2011, the date that the purchase price was delivered to the Company. The issuance of the First Asher Note was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The purchaser was an accredited and sophisticated investor, familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company evaluated the First Asher Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.1375 below the market price on July 21, 2011 of $0.25 provided a value of $51,136 of which $29,875 was amortized during 2011. In addition, on February 2, 2012, a principal amount of $1,500 was converted into 1,807,229 common shares at a conversion price of $0.00083 in accordance with the Variance Conversion Price. During the three month period ended June 30, 2012, three more conversions took place and $55,500 was converted into 6,858,133 common shares. As the note was fully mature as of April 25, 2012, the amortization expense was completely recognized, resulting in amortization expense of $21,261 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. This note is currently in default which triggers an increase in its interest rate to 22% from 8%, which occurred on April 25, 2012. During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, one more conversion took place and $3,500 was converted into 2,500,000 common shares. The principal balance in default is 2,000; the associated accrued interest on this note is 4,449; both as of September 30, 2012.
On September 16, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to which the Company sold to Asher an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $40,000 (the “Second Asher Note”). The Second Asher Note has a maturity date of June 20, 2012, and is convertible into Company common stock at the greater of (i) the Variable Conversion Price and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 55% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 45%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Fixed Conversion Price” shall mean $0.00009. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Second Asher Note will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The purchase and sale of the Second Asher Note closed on September 22, 2011, the date that the purchase price was delivered to the Company.
The Company evaluated the Second Asher Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.11917 below the market price on September 16, 2011 of $0.30 provided a value of $40,000 of which $15,252 was amortized during 2011. For the period ending September 30, 2012, $24,748 was amortized, and is now fully amortized, as this note fully matured on June 20, 2012. This note is currently in default which triggers an increase in its interest rate to 22% from 8%, which occurred on June 20, 2012. The principal balance in default is 40,000; the associated accrued interest on this note is 3,325; both as of September 30, 2012.
On November 17, 2011, for value received, the Company gave a convertible promissory note to The Lebrecht Group, APLC, in the original principal amount of $13,225 (the “Lebrecht Note”). The Lebrecht Note has a maturity date of November 18, 2012, and principle and accrued interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) are due at that time. The note holder has an option to convert the note into Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of the Lebrecht Note and shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price, which shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price, which is $0.001 per share, and (ii) the Variable Conversion Price, which is seventy five percent (75%) of the closing bid price for the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion, (the Fixed Conversion Price and the Variable Conversion Price, as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Conversion Price”).

The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.10125 below the market price on November 17, 2011 of $0.135 provided a value of $4,408 of which $529 was amortized during 2011. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2012, $3,279 was amortized.
On December 6, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to which the Company sold to Asher an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $45,000 (the “Third Asher Note”). The Third Asher Note has a maturity date of September 8, 2012, and is convertible into Company common stock at the greater of (i) the Variable Conversion Price and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 55% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 45%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Fixed Conversion Price” shall mean $0.00009.

The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.0605 below the market price on December 6, 2011 of $0.14 provided a value of $45,000 of which $4,061 was amortized during 2011. For the period ending September 30, 2012, $40,939 was amortized, and is now fully amortized, as this note fully matured on September 8, 2012. This note is currently in default which triggers an increase in its interest rate to 22% from 8%, which occurred on June 20, 2012.

Discussion of 2006 Stock Option plan
The 2006 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in March of 2006. A total of 550,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance to employees, consultants and directors upon exercise of incentive and non-statutory options and stock purchase rights which may be granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”). On October 15, 2009, 235,000 of those options were exercised, leaving 315,000 shares available for issuance to employees. Because of the 5.31-for-one forward stock split of the Company’s common stock on October 15, 2009, there are now 1,512,650 shares available for issuance as a part of this stock plan. As of the period ended September 30, 2012, there were 560,000 options outstanding to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no shares of Common Stock had been issued pursuant to stock purchase rights under the 2006 Plan.
Under the 2006 Plan, options may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants. Only employees may receive “incentive stock options,” which are intended to qualify for certain tax treatment, and consultants and directors may receive “non-statutory stock options,” which do not qualify for such treatment. A holder of more than 10% of the outstanding voting shares may only be granted options with an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, and if such holder has incentive stock options, the term of the options must not exceed five years.
Options and stock purchase rights granted under the 2006 Plan generally vest ratably over a four year period (typically 1⁄4 or 25% of the shares vest after the 1st year and 1/48 of the remaining shares vest each month thereafter); however, alternative vesting schedules may be approved by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Any unvested portion of an option or stock purchase right will accelerate and become fully vested if a holder’s service with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause within twelve months following a Change in Control (as defined in the 2006 Plan).
All options must be exercised within ten years after the date of grant. Upon a holder’s termination of service for any reason prior to a Change in Control, the Company may repurchase any shares issued to such holder upon the exercise of options or stock purchase rights. The Board of Directors may amend the 2006 Plan at any time. The 2006 Plan will terminate in 2016, unless terminated sooner by the Board of Directors.
The Company granted 560,000 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2011, the stock options became fully vested and expensed accordingly. The Company did not grant any stock options for the period ended September 30, 2012. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with standards of disclosure propounded by the FASB, and any related interpretations of those standards sanctioned by the FASB. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as a consideration of net operating loss and credit carry forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, a valuation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.

Income tax expense consists of California minimum franchise taxes of $1,600, Delaware state taxes of $489, and back taxes owed of $837. For Federal and California income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards that expire through 2032. The net operating loss as of September 30, 2012 is approximately $278,199. The net operating loss as of December 31, 2011 was approximately $149,529. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because after evaluating our own potential tax uncertainties, the Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that have a greater than 50% likelihood of reversal if the Company were to be audited.

NOTE 15 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 on October 1, 2008. Under this FASB, fair value is defined 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 (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including: cash and debt. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Cash, accounts receivable, capitalized production costs, prepaid royalties, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued compensation, accrued royalties, accrued interest, accrued expenses, unearned royalties, notes payable – related party and technology payables reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short term nature.

The Company believes that the market rate of interest as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was not materially different to the rate of interest at which the convertible notes payable were issued. Accordingly, the Company believes that the fair value of the convertible notes payable approximated their carrying value at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Statement reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, its unaudited financial statements and related notes elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Summary Overview
We are a developer of family-friendly casual games for tablets and smartphones. Our core belief is that games should be enjoyed as a family activity, and not limited to any one demographic. We focus on casual games because we believe that they have a wider appeal to the majority of the population, which means that our revenue potential is large.
During our most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012, we generated revenues of $110,418 from the sales our games compared to $303,011 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $346,560 compared to $580,029 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we launched Victorian Mysteries®: The Yellow Room for PC/Mac internationally , and did limited launch of the iOS version in Canada. In 2012 and going forward we plan to continue the trend we started in 2009 of developing games based on intellectual property we own or purchase from third parties, rather than license intellectual property that belongs to third parties, for which we then have to pay royalties to the owner of the intellectual property. We believe this will further enable us to decrease the costs associated with developing and publishing games and increase our gross margins over time. We did not generate any revenue from work for hire or development services in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
34
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we generated a net loss of ($157,633). The net loss was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues and the increase in production development costs and amortization and depreciation expenses, as described below.
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Introduction
Our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $110,418 and $346,560, respectively, compared to $303,011 and $580,029, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we released Victorian Mysteries®: The Yellow Room for PC/Mac internationally, and did a limited launch of the iOS version in Canada. The decrease in revenues of our PC/Mac titles can be attributed to an overall downturn in the PC/Mac software market. Our long term focus is now shifting to free-to-play games with micro-transactions for the smartphone and tablet market (iOS and Android). In the last six months, the top grossing games on both iOS and Android have employed this free-to-play strategy. Games are free-to-play, but customers make in-game purchases to advance and progress more quickly. For those customers that don’t make in-game purchases, revenue is generated through in-game ads.
Revenues and Income (Loss) from Operations
Our revenues, costs and expenses, and net ordinary income (loss) from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, are as follows:

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, decreased because of lower than expected performance of titles in the PC/Mac download market. Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, decreased for the same reason. Our revenue typically fluctuates based on when we release our games and the popularity of the games we release.
Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased by $388,322, primarily because of an increase in product development costs of $124,152, general and administrative expenses of $219,589, and amortization and depreciation costs of $91,037, offset by a decrease in our cost of sales relating to licensing of $46,071. Our increase in development costs was primarily due to the fact that we have been working on new titles that follow the free-to-play model, which requires more in-depth up front game development, but offers the opportunity for a longer and more sustained revenue stream over time. The increase in general and administration expenses was primarily due to stock based compensation expense and an increase in payroll expense. The increase in amortization and depreciation was due to an increase of amortization of production costs (the expenses associated with previous games that have been released and are now being expensed) and a writeoff of abandoned titles from previous years. The decrease in licensing costs was due to a decrease in our revenue associated with licensed products. Our operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were 301% and 113%, respectively.
As a result of the above, our net loss increased from $101,479 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $731,363 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $157,633, compared to net income of $29,420 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2012 was approximately $20,338, and our monthly cash flow burn rate is approximately $85,000, which is fairly consistent with our most recent periods. As a result, we have significant short term cash needs. These needs are being satisfied through cash flows from our operations, as well as proceeds from the sales of our securities. We intend to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are as follows:

Our current assets increased by $112,840 as of September 30, 2012, as compared to December 31, 2011, primarily because of an increase in net capitalized production costs of $157,169, or 92%. This increase was offset by a decrease in cash of $6,250, or 24%, a decrease in accounts receivable of $30,780 or 33%, a decrease in our prepaid royalties of $3,838 or 32% and a decrease in our prepaid expenses of $3,461 or 100%.
Our current liabilities increased by $521,438 as of September 30, 2012, as compared to December 31, 2011 primarily because of an increase in accounts payable of $33,820, accrued compensation of $9,791, accrued royalties of $30,266, accrued interest of $30,987, unearned royalties of $34,681, and current note payable to a related party of $235,000.
Our total liabilities increased by $514,139 as of September 30, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011, due to the increases in current liabilities described above offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $2,878 and long-term technology payable of $7,299.
We intend to continue publishing and developing games based on our own intellectual property and across multiple platforms in 2012 which decreases our dependence on work for hire or development services revenue.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
Cash Requirements
Although we had $20,338 in cash as of September 30, 2012, based on our revenues, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate, around $85,000 per month, we will need to continue borrowing from our shareholders and other related parties to fund operations.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operations
We had net cash provided (used) by operating activities of ($366,250) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to ($80,348) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of our net loss of ($731,363) and capitalized production costs of ($400,065), offset by amortization of capitalized productions costs of $298,100, amortization on debt discount of $90,227, write-off of capitalized production costs of $39,437, stock based compensation of $156,013, changes in accrued expenses of $81,207, and changes in unearned royalties of $34,681. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of our net loss of ($130,899), capitalized production costs of ($269,734), offset by amortization of capitalized production costs of $111,414, changes in accounts receivable of $78,270, changes in unearned royalties of $46,176, and changes in accrued expenses of $69,427.
37
Investments
We did not have any cash flows from investing activity for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 or September 30, 2011.
Financing
Our net cash provided (used) by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $360,000, compared to ($17,564) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our financing activities consisted of borrowings of debt of $50,000 and borrowings of debt with a related party of $310,000.

Debt Instruments, Guarantees, and Related Covenants
We have no disclosure required by this Item.
ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of the three month period ended September 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion reached by our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer was a result of the continued material weaknesses and described below and previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
(b) Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Management has identified the following four material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
38
1. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We have not documented our internal controls. We have limited policies and procedures that cover the recording and reporting of financial transactions and accounting provisions. As a result we may be delayed in our ability to calculate certain accounting provisions. While we believe these provisions are accounted for correctly in the attached audited financial statements our lack of internal controls could lead to a delay in our reporting obligations. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
4. Effective controls over transactions were not maintained. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that contingencies were properly reflected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses
As previously stated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, to remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we hope to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness. Because of financial restraints, while we have interviewed several such firms, we have not started our remediation as of the date hereof.
(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
39
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There have been no events which are required to be reported under this Item.
ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
On April 2, 2012, we entered into a convertible promissory note with Robert Cowdell for $50,000 (the “Cowdell Note”). The Cowdell Note is convertible into our common stock at $0.04 per share, bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and matured on October 2, 2012. The Cowdell Note is currently in default in the principal amount of $50,000 with accrued interest of $3,004 as of September 30, 2012.
On July 2, 2010, we entered into a convertible promissory note with Holland Family Trust for $100,000 (the “Holland Trust Note”). We have received $75,000 of the purchase price, with the remaining $25,000 to be paid at a later date. The Holland Trust Note is convertible into our common stock at $0.10 per share, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and matures 12 months from the date each purchase installment was received. The maturity date of the Holland Trust Note was July 1, 2012. The Holland Trust Note is currently in default in the principal amount of $75,000 with accrued interest of $2,500 as of September 30, 2012.
The Cowdell Note and the Holland Trust Note are both in default due to our nonpayment of the principal balance and any accrued interest on the date of maturity of each note.
ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
There have been no events which are required to be reported under this Item.
