Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis of presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for the interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto contained in the information filed as part of the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed on April 16, 2014.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

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(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).

Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary; (3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8 the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, in which the parent’s power to control exists.

The Company's consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, York and S&G as of the reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s) then ended.

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Business Combinations

The Company applies Topic 805 “Business Combinations” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (R) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”)) for transactions that represent business combinations to be accounted for under the acquisition method. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 805-10-25-1 in order for a transaction or other event to be considered as a business combination it is required that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Upon determination of transactions representing business combinations the Company then (i) identifies the accounting acquirer; (ii) identifies and estimates the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, separately from goodwill; (iii) estimates the business enterprise value of the acquired entities; (iv) allocates the purchase price of acquired entities to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the liabilities assumed and the purchase price over the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and the excess of the assets acquired over the liabilities assumed and the purchase price was recorded as a gain from bargain purchase.

Identification of the Accounting Acquirer

The Company used the existence of a controlling financial interest to identify the acquirer—the entity that obtains control of the acquiree in accordance with ASC paragraph 805-20-25-5 and identifies the acquisition date, which is the date on which it obtains control of the acquiree in accordance with ASC paragraph 805-20-25-6. The date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree generally is the date on which the acquirer legally transfers the consideration, acquires the assets, and assumes the liabilities of the acquiree—the closing date.

Intangible Assets Identification, Estimated Fair Value and Useful Lives

In accordance with ASC Section 805-20-25 as of the acquisition date, the acquirer shall recognize, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Recognition of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to the conditions specified in ASC paragraphs 805-20-25-2 through 25-3.

The recognized intangible assets of the acquiree were valued through the use of the market, income and/or cost approach, as appropriate. The Company utilizes the income approach on a debt-free basis to estimate the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired in the acquiree at the date of acquisition. This method eliminates the effect of how the business is presently financed and provides an indication of the value of the total invested capital of the Company or its business enterprise value.

Inherent Risk in the Estimates

Management makes estimates of fair values based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from revenues, customer relationships, key management and market positions, assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade names will continue to be used in the Company’s combined portfolio of products and/or services, and discount rates used to establish fair value. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other receivable, accounts payable and accrued payroll, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted Section 360-10-35 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-17 an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-20 if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-21 the Company’s long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following to be some examples of such events or changes in circumstances that may trigger an impairment review: (a) significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group); (b) A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition; (c) A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (d) An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); (e) A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and (f) A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 360-10-45-4 and 360-10-45-5 an impairment loss recognized for a long-lived asset (asset group) to be held and used shall be included in income from continuing operations before income taxes in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from operations is presented, it shall include the amount of that loss. A gain or loss recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) that is not a component of an entity shall be included in income from continuing operations before income taxes in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from operations is presented, it shall include the amounts of those gains or losses.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives of five (5) years. Upon sale or retirement of computer equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized Pilot Costs - Film Property and Screenplay Rights

The Company capitalizes costs it incurs to buy film or transcripts that will later be marketed or be used in the production of films according to ASC 926, Entertainment – Films. The Company will begin to amortize capitalized film cost when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from the film.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the net assets at the date of acquisition. Under paragraph 350-20-35-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, goodwill acquired in a business combination with indefinite useful lives are not amortized; rather, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired.

Related Parties

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. mounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Commitment and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

Non-controlling Interest

The Company follows paragraph 810-10-65-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report the non-controlling interest in its majority owned subsidiaries in the consolidated balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the following is the specific revenue recognition policy.

Revenues from the sale of programming for television and other media are recognized when

Stock-Based Compensation for Obtaining Employee Services

The Company accounts for share-based payment transactions issued to employees under the guidance of the Topic 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC Topic 718”).

Pursuant to ASC Section 718-10-20 an employee is an individual over whom the grantor of a share-based compensation award exercises or has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Revenue Ruling 87-41. A nonemployee director does not satisfy this definition of employee. Nevertheless, nonemployee directors acting in their role as members of a board of directors are treated as employees if those directors were elected by the employer’s shareholders or appointed to a board position that will be filled by shareholder election when the existing term expires. However, that requirement applies only to awards granted to nonemployee directors for their services as directors. Awards granted to nonemployee directors for other services shall be accounted for as awards to non-employees.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 718-10-30-2 and 718-10-30-3 a share-based payment transaction with employees shall be measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and an entity shall account for the compensation cost from share-based payment transactions with employees in accordance with the fair value-based method, i.e., the cost of services received from employees in exchange for awards of share-based compensation generally shall be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued or the fair value of the liabilities incurred/settled.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 718-10-30-6 and 718-10-30-9 the measurement objective for equity instruments awarded to employees is to estimate the fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments (for example, to exercise share options). That estimate is based on the share price and other pertinent factors, such as expected volatility, at the grant date. As such, the fair value of an equity share option or similar instrument shall be estimated using a valuation technique such as an option pricing model. For this purpose, a similar instrument is one whose fair value differs from its intrinsic value, that is, an instrument that has time value.

If the Company’s common shares are traded in one of the national exchanges the grant-date share price of the Company’s common stock will be used to measure the fair value of the common shares issued, however, if the Company’s common shares are thinly traded the use of share prices established in its most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-55-21 if an observable market price is not available for a share option or similar instrument with the same or similar terms and conditions, an entity shall estimate the fair value of that instrument using a valuation technique or model that meets the requirements in paragraph 718-10-55-11 and takes into account, at a minimum, all of the following factors:

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 718-10-30-11 and 718-10-30-17 a restriction that stems from the forfeitability of instruments to which employees have not yet earned the right, such as the inability either to exercise a non-vested equity share option or to sell non-vested shares, is not reflected in estimating the fair value of the related instruments at the grant date. Instead, those restrictions are taken into account by recognizing compensation cost only for awards for which employees render the requisite service and a non-vested equity share or non-vested equity share unit awarded to an employee shall be measured at its fair value as if it were vested and issued on the grant date.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 718-10-35-2 and 718-10-35-3 the compensation cost for an award of share-based employee compensation classified as equity shall be recognized over the requisite service period, with a corresponding credit to equity (generally, paid-in capital). The requisite service period is the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award, which often is the vesting period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized at the end of the requisite service period for an award of share-based compensation shall be based on the number of instruments for which the requisite service has been rendered (that is, for which the requisite service period has been completed). An entity shall base initial accruals of compensation cost on the estimated number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered. That estimate shall be revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of instruments is likely to differ from previous estimates. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be or has been rendered shall be recognized in compensation cost in the period of the change. Previously recognized compensation cost shall not be reversed if an employee share option (or share unit) for which the requisite service has been rendered expires unexercised (or unconverted).

Under the requirement of ASC Paragraph 718-10-35-8 the Company made a policy decision to recognize compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under the guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services.

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 505-50-30-2 and 505-50-30-11 share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The issuer shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the following dates, referred to as the measurement date: (a) The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); or (b) The date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. If the Company’s common shares are traded in one of the national exchanges the grant-date share price of the Company’s common stock will be used to measure the fair value of the common shares issued, however, if the Company’s common shares are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-55-21 if an observable market price is not available for a share option or similar instrument with the same or similar terms and conditions, an entity shall estimate the fair value of that instrument using a valuation technique or model that meets the requirements in paragraph 718-10-55-11 and takes into account, at a minimum, all of the following factors:

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

Income Tax Provision

The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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 the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25.addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.

Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to the unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting period ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

Pro Forma Income Tax Information (Unaudited)

The pro forma income tax information, inclusive of income tax rate, income tax provision (benefits), if any, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, presented in the accompanying pro forma combined financial statements and the pro forma income tax note reflect the provision for income tax, based on the combined results of operations of the Company and the acquired entities for the periods presented, which would have been recorded as if the acquisition of the acquired entities had occurred as of the first date of the first period presented.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants.

There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding for the reporting period ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

Cash Flows Reporting

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Subsequent Events

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”)

This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the following:

ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities.  Early application is not permitted.

In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) : Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”).

The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period.  The Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.

The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2014, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to produce sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Business Acquisitions

(i)     Acquisition of S&G Holdings, Inc.

On December 24, 2013, the Company acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of S&G for $210,000.

In addition, the Company paid $25,000 to a third party as commission for bringing in the acquisition.

Identification of the Accounting Acquirer

The Company used the existence of a controlling financial interest to identify the acquirer—the entity that obtains control of the acquiree in accordance with ASC paragraph 805-20-25-5 and identifies the acquisition date, which is the date on which it obtains control of the acquiree in accordance with ASC paragraph 805-20-25-6. The management of the Company specifically addressed (i) the ownership interest of each party after the acquisition; (ii) the members of the board of directors from both companies; and (iii) senior management from both companies and determined that Brick Top Productions, Inc. was the accounting acquirer for the merger between Brick Top Productions, Inc. and S&G Holdings, Inc.

Intangible Assets Identification, Estimated Fair Value and Useful Lives

The Company determined that there were no separate recognizable intangible assets that possessed economic value from S&G.

Business Enterprise Valuation

The Company determined that the business enterprise value of S&G approximates its net book.

Allocation of Purchase Price

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with section 805-10-55 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification by allocating the purchase price over the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  The excess of the liabilities assumed and the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.  The purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities as follows:

The Company will begin amortization of capitalized film costs and accrual (expensing) of participation costs when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from that film. The costs of producing a film and bringing that film to market consist of film costs, participation costs, exploitation costs, and manufacturing costs. Pursuant to FASB Codification Topic 926-20-35, the Company will begin amortization of capitalized film costs using the individual-film-forecast-computation which amortizes or accrues such costs in the same ratio that current period actual revenue bears to the estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue after an individual film is released.

Overview

Introduction

Brick Top Productions, Inc., is a corporation organized on February 20, 2009, under the laws of the State of Florida.  The Company was organized for the purpose of financing, producing and distributing to third parties one or more television series and feature films to be licensed for exploitation in domestic and international theatrical, television, cable, home video and pay per view markets. Brick Top Productions, Inc., has expanded its focus to the acquisition and financing of, profitable synergistic entertainment production companies. We will need to raise additional capital to implement our current business plan.

We have completed pre-production and post-production of a television pilot titled “Nick The Doorman”. We are actively interviewing persons to serve as a show runner for the pilot. A “show runner” is a person that is responsible for presenting a television pilot or idea for sale to major television networks through his or her professional industry contacts. Show runners are only paid if and when a show is sold to a network, at which point we would receive revenue. The show runner’s compensation would be a predetermined fee set in his or her agreement with the company. This fee will be anywhere from 3 to 5% of the total commitment that the network will pay for the project. This process can take anywhere from approximately 3 months to as long as 36 months from the date of project completion. Nicholas Turturro, the writer and producer of the pilot, has estimated that the project will be marketable for approximately 4 to 6 years, at which point the market demand for the actors associated with the project may become stale. The company intends to market the project for four to six years based on Mr. Turturro’s opinion. This opinion is based solely on Mr. Turturro’s past industry experience. Mr. Turturro’s opinion may prove to be incorrect and the project may not be marketable for as long as he believes it will. We are also considering completing the project as a full length feature film. We have a LOI from a distributor that is interested in distributing “Nick The Doorman” as a full length feature film. This would require us to shoot an additional 90 minutes of footage to combine with the existing 90 minutes that we already have. Nick Turturro believes this will increase the projects marketability. The cost to complete would be an additional $100,000.

We have completed the acquisition of the rights to a screenplay written by Nicholas Turturro titled “Bless Me Father.” We intend to finance, produce and sell the distribution rights once we have the additional capital necessary to do so. We expect total project costs to be approximately $300,000. This project would be facilitated through our subsidiary York Productions II LLC. The budget for this project would consist of approximately $17,000 for writers and scripts, $10,000 for a Line Producer, $30,000 for a Director, $105,000 for the cast, $10,000 for travel/living expenses, $17,000 for production staff, $10,000 for set design and construction, $5,0000 for lighting, $10,000 for camera and sound operators, $12,000 for wardrobe and hair/makeup, $22,000 for transportation, $27,000 for locations/unit expenses and $25,000 for post-production, editing  and music. We can begin development as soon as we raise the additional necessary capital required to fund this project. This project would take approximately 6 months from acquisition of the rights to completion of post-production. Upon completion we would attempt to pre-sell the distribution rights abroad, at no additional cost to the Company in order to generate revenue and fully or partially cover the costs of the project. This phase of the project would take approximately 90 - 120 days to complete if successful.

We are actively seeking additional opportunities to finance television and film projects. Ultimately, our goal is to pursue the production of one or more feature films utilizing prominent actors.  The costs of such projects typically range from approximately $200,000 to as much as $10,000,000 and can take as little as 3 months to as long as 1 year to complete. Major television and film projects often provide the opportunity to pre-sell exclusive distribution rights to overseas territories, thereby hedging part of the project cost.  At any given time there are thousands of scripts for screenplays that are circulating throughout the motion picture industry, all of which are seeking financing, production and/ or distribution. Overseas territories will pay for the exclusive rights to distribute a particular film. These rights can be pre-sold to hedge the cost of the film. There is no determining body that sets the pricing. There is a constantly changing guideline that is determined by an actor’s marketability and what his or her films have recently commanded for distribution rights. This merely represents a set of guidelines that is a starting point for negotiations. Initially this will be our primary method of distribution. In the event we are able to pre-sell international distribution rights for a project we will then look to secure domestic distribution of the project. Our goal is to raise capital through an equity offering which will enable us to acquire the rights to finance, produce and contract distribution of these projects. The costs will vary per project, determined by the level of talent, location and scope of the production. The pre-sale of distribution rights is applicable only to full length feature film projects and does not apply to television projects such as The Doorman.

We have explored and negotiated an agreement for the construction of a platform necessary to disseminate content (a series of 5-10 minute shorts) via a smart phone application.  We already have over 90 minutes of completed footage from filming “Nick The Doorman”.  The estimated cost is approximately $50,000. The first step is analysis and design which will cost $6,000 and take approximately 2 weeks. The development (coding) will cost $30,000 and take approximately 2 months to complete. The quality control will cost $10,000 and take approximately 1 week. The final step is deployment which will cost $4,000 and will be completed in three days. We will require additional capital to complete this project. Our goal is to advertise our link through various social networking sites which will drive traffic to our site which in turn will create a desirable advertising venue. This part of the project will not require additional capital and will take approximately 3 to 5 months. We anticipate this entire process to take approximately 6 to 8 months from start to completion at which time we would expect it to begin generating revenue.

We have engaged in due diligence activities centering around two acquisitions that we believe will lead to additional operating revenue in the near term.

On December 24, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Martin Fischer (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company acquired from Mr. Fischer seventy-five (75%) percent of the issued and outstanding stock (the “Shares”) of S&G Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation doing business as High Five Entertainment (“High Five”), making High Five a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company paid Mr. Fischer Two Hundred Ten Thousand ($210,000) Dollars at closing, made a capital contribution to High Five in the amount of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars at closing, and agreed to make additional capital contributions of Three Hundred Sixty Five Thousand ($365,000) Dollars to High Five over the first nine (9) months of 2014, to fund business operations. In the event the Company fails to make the required capital contributions to High Five, the Company will be required to return certain of the Shares to Mr. Fischer.

High Five Entertainment

High Five Entertainment is an internationally recognized, Emmy Award-winning entertainment production company based in Nashville, Tennessee specializing in the development and presentation of quality television programming including series, specials, pilots, live events and award shows.

Founded in Los Angeles, California in 1983, High Five’s unwavering commitment to excellence in entertainment production for more than 30 years continues to foster an impressive legacy of unsurpassed client satisfaction through collaborative creative development, meticulous planning and flawless delivery of world-class entertainment properties.

Relocating to Nashville in the early nineties, High Five Entertainment became synonymous with the presentation of groundbreaking music television events (“The Women of Country” CBS, “This Is Garth Brooks” NBC, “At the Ryman” CMT and “The Road” Tribune Entertainment). Today, High Five continues to be one of the premiere producers of quality music-television entertainment with ongoing episodes of Opry Live and of names synonymous with the presentation of groundbreaking music television events and a number of PBS Specials ranging from the legendary “Levon Helm - Ramble At The Ryman”.

High Five made an extremely successful foray into the fascinating world of motorsports entertainment, producing SPEED Channel’s (soon to be Fox Sports One) top-rated series “Pass Time”, a riveting, fast-paced game show for gear heads. HFE produced more than 150 episodes of the show. Also for SPEED Channel, High Five produced two seasons the popular unscripted series "Drag Race High" pitting two area high school motor-shop classes in direct head to head competition building and racing their own dragsters. HFE followed this with the series “Burnout –The Ultimate Drag Race Challenge” in Phoenix, AZ which aired on MTV2.

HFE also recently produced a record-breaking PBS pledge special with Dr. Daniel Amen, iChange Your Brain, Change Your Life”, and the follow-up special “A Magnificent Mind At Any Age”.

High Five Entertainment will be collaborating with television maverick, Rich Christensen, the creator, producer and host of several successful car racing television show franchises, to exclusively produce the television and internet show projects that he is presently developing. 

We believe High Five Entertainment will continue to produce its ground breaking and well received programming in the immediate future.

Competition

We face stiff competition from other participants in the television and motion picture business, including major networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS, for example, and major studios such as Sony, Miramax, Paramount Pictures Corporation, Universal Pictures, and Columbia Pictures, for example, which have access to funding substantially greater than that which is available to us.

Employees

As of the date of this filing our officers and an administrative assistant are our only employees. Additional employees will be hired in the future as our business expands. 

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of Company include the accounts of Brick Top Productions and its majority-owned subsidiaries, York Productions, LLC, York Productions II, LLC, and S&G Holdings, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Income Taxes. The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  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 the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. 

Capitalized Pilot Costs - Film Property and Screenplay Rights. The Company capitalizes costs it incurs to buy film or transcripts that will later be marketed or be used in the production of films according to ASC 926, Entertainment – Films. The Company will begin to amortize capitalized film cost when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from the film.

Non-Controlling Interest. The Company follows paragraph 810-10-65-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report the non-controlling interest in York Productions, LLC, York Productions II, LLC, and S&G Holdings, Inc., its majority owned subsidiary in the consolidated statements of balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity.  Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, York Productions, LLC and S&G Holdings, Inc.  Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

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.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company.” This election will permit us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that will have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies.   Upon the issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt said accounting standard.  We may take advantage of the extended transition period until the first to occur of the date we (i) are no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period.  Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.  

For additional discussion regarding the JOBS Act and the exemptions available to “emerging growth companies” thereunder, please refer to the risk factor entitled “We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if we will be able to maintain such status or if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors” contained in the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.”

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $249,303 as compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenues is due to the acquisition of S & G Holdings, Inc. during the fourth quarter of 2013. Our future revenue plan concentrates on the production of additional award winning programming from our subsidiaries, including S & G Holdings, Inc. and on our ability to effectively market The Doorman pilot and close new viable acquisitions of film rights. In addition, we are conducting due diligence on the acquisition of a production company that has garnered interest from several notable media outlets and hope to close an additional transaction shortly that we believe will lead to additional, high profile, revenue streams.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $2,066,834 compared to $42,716 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in operating expenses is due to the acquisition of S & G Holdings, Inc. during the fourth quarter of 2013 and concomitant stock compensation booked as $1,746,990.

The Company has realized a net loss of $1,746,234 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $42,716 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net loss is due to the acquisition of S & G Holdings, Inc. during the fourth quarter of 2013 and concomitant stock compensation and or awards.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $270,652 as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenues is due to the acquisition of S & G Holdings, Inc. during the fourth quarter of 2013.

In addition, we are conducting due diligence on the acquisition of a production company that has garnered interest from several notable media outlets and hope to close an additional transaction shortly that we believe will lead to additional, high profile, revenue streams.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $2,247,638 compared to $64,291 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2014, our total assets were $515,300 and our total liabilities were $556,337 and we had negative working capital of $(215,695). Our financial statements report a net loss of $1,906,188 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and a net loss of $65,303 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, based primarily on stock compensation, as detailed above.

Pursuant to the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Bafer, we are obligated to pay Mr. Bafer $150,000 per year. On October 1, 2011, Mr. Bafer agreed to waive future base salary under his employment agreement, until further notice, in an effort to reduce our operating expenses.  Prior to that, we did not have sufficient cash flows to make the required payments under the agreement and therefore accrued all unpaid salary until such time we generate revenues from operations or raise additional capital through one or more financing transactions.

As part of the Company’s acquisition of S&G Holdings, Inc. (doing business as High Five Entertainment), the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Martin Fischer, pursuant to which Mr. Fischer will serve as High Five’s president for an initial term of five years with an initial base salary of $144,000.  He will also be entitled to an annual bonus of up to $100,000 and a monthly car allowance of $500.  In addition, the Company awarded Mr. Fischer an option to purchase 1,491,351 shares of common stock, these options vest throughout 2014.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. These losses and fluctuations, particularly in nascent operations, are, we believe, common among companies in our market sector. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard, we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions, and, in the short term, will seek to raise additional capital in such manners to fund our operations.  We have a $50,000 line of credit from Regions Bank with a maturity date of June 1, 2015.  Our officers and shareholders have not made any written or oral agreement to provide us additional financing.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise capital on terms and conditions that are deemed acceptable to us.

We have engaged in due diligence activities centering around two acquisitions that we believe will lead to additional operating revenue in the near term. 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4:   Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, was not effective, primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has only two employees, only one of whom has a background in accounting, and lacks segregation of duties.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
