UNIVERSAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying interim period financial statements of Universal Capital Management, Inc. (the “Company”) are unaudited pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated. Such results, however, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Nature of Business
 
The Company is a recently organized (inception date of August 16, 2004), closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and making available managerial assistance to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional channels. The Company refers to companies in which it invests as “portfolio companies.”
 
Security Valuations
 
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ National Market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter market (such as OTC BB, Pink Sheets, etc.) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Restricted securities and other securities (small, privately held companies) for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the board of directors. Derivatives, such as Warrants, are valued at fair value through the use of pricing models.
 
Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with the securities of certain portfolio companies, it is likely that changes in their values will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of assets and liabilities at future dates. Values can also be affected by changes in estimates and assumptions.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

UNIVERSAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Cash and Equivalents
 
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all investment instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. For financial accounting purposes, depreciation is generally computed by the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
 
Furniture and fixtures
5 to 7 years
Computer and office equipment
3 to 7 years
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income taxes arise principally from the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from appreciation in investment value for financial statement purposes, while for income tax purposes, gains or losses are only recognized when realized (i.e., on disposition). When unrealized gains and losses result in a net unrealized loss, provision is made for a deferred tax asset. When unrealized gains and losses result in a net unrealized gain, provision is made for a deferred tax liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets or liabilities.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. At times, the Company’s balances with financial institutions may exceed the insured amount provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS (R) requires share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS 123(R) is effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005 for a small business issuer. The Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) effective May 1, 2006.

Prior to May 1, 2006, the Company followed the provisions of SFAS 123, which allowed companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB 25, but disclose the pro forma effects on net income had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company elected to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans and grants of stock options. There were no employee stock options granted prior to May 1, 2006

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Introduction
 
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Should one or more risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, expected, planned, intended, estimated, projected or otherwise indicated. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
The following discussion is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto, and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
The Company’s primary business is to invest in emerging growth companies. The Company intends to assist these companies in strategic and financial planning, in market strategies and to assist them in trying to achieve prudent and profitable growth. Management is devoting most of its efforts to general business planning, raising capital, and seeking appropriate investments.
 
The Company’s primary investment objective is to increase its net assets by adding value to the portfolio companies and thus, to shareholder value. Management believes that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives by concentrating on investments in companies which are most likely to benefit from management’s expertise in finance, strategic planning, operations, and technology.
 
The income that the Company derives from investments in portfolio companies consists of management fees and appreciation (net of depreciation) in the values of portfolio companies. The Company also generates some interest income on its cash and cash equivalents. At the time of disposition, the disposition proceeds of these securities of portfolio companies will most likely make up most of the Company’s revenues. Consequently, the Company’s success or failure will depend on investing in portfolio companies the securities of which appreciate in value more than the sum of Company operating expenses and the amount by which portfolio company securities depreciate in value. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Board of Directors is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the securities and assets held by the Company for which market quotations are not readily available. In making its determination, the Board of Directors may consider valuation appraisals provided by independent financial experts although doing so does not relieve the Board of its obligations to determine fair value. With respect to private equity securities, each investment is valued using industry valuation benchmarks, and then the value may be assigned a discount reflecting the particular nature of the investment.
 
The Board of Directors bases its determination on, among other things, applicable quantitative and qualitative factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of securities, the nature of the business of the portfolio company, the marketability of the valuation of securities of publicly traded companies in the same or similar industries, current financial conditions and operating results of the portfolio company, sales and earnings growth of the portfolio company, operating revenues of the portfolio company, competitive conditions, and current and prospective conditions in the overall stock market.
 
12

 
Without a readily recognized market value, the estimated value of some portfolio securities may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if there existed a ready market for such equity securities.
 
The Company may retain a professional valuation consulting firm to provide it with valuations of the securities of portfolio companies. The Company expects to pay a professional fee each time such a valuation is provided.
 
Financial Condition
 
The Company’s total assets were $4,753,261 and its net assets were $2,426,652 at July 31, 2006, compared to $3,546,337 and $2,243,790, respectively, at April 30, 2006. Net assets increased by $182,862 for the three months ended July 31, 2006, and net asset value per share was $0.45 per share at July 31, 2006 and $0.46 per share at April 30, 2006.
 
The changes in total assets and net assets during the three months ended July 31, 2006 were primarily attributable to:
 
·  
Net unrealized depreciation on investments of $444,222 mainly due to a decrease in the value of the shares of PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. and Gelstat Corporation, offset in part by an increase in the value of shares of Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc., BroadRelay Holdings, Inc. and an increase in the value of 200,000 BroadRelay Holdings, Inc. warrants that expire in December of 2006.
 
·  
The increase of 300,000 shares and 150,000 warrants in the Company’s investment in BroadRelay Holdings, Inc.
 
·  
The increase of 300,000 shares in the Company’s investment in Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc.
 
·  
The Company’s investment in 1,000,000 shares of Extreme Visual Technologies, Inc.
 
·  
The increase in receivables of approximately $117,000 which is mainly due to cash advances, plus accrued interest, to portfolio companies.
 
·  
The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $128,000.
 
·  
The increase in notes payable of $250,000.
 
·  
The increase in deferred revenue of approximately $714,000 which is mainly due to an increase in deferred revenue of approximately $945,200 for Extreme Visual Technologies, Inc. which the Company will earn over the twelve month period beginning July 12, 2006 offset in part by a decrease in deferred revenue of $231,000 ($125,000 for Accelapure Corporation and $106,100 for PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc.) which was earned during the period.
 
·  
The decrease in deferred taxes of approximately $157,000.
 
·  
The sale of 120,640 of the Company’s shares for proceeds of $241,280.
 
·  
The declaration of a dividend paid in the form of 299,064 shares of the common stock of Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc., a portfolio company, for a total value of $448,595.
 
·  
The Net realized gain of $343,924 on the dividend of shares of common stock of Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc.
 
13

 
The Company’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation) varies significantly from period to period as a result of the wide fluctuations in value of the Company’s portfolio securities. For example, the Company suffered an unrealized loss of $643,250 on its holdings of PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. in the three months ended July 31, 2006 as a result of a decline in the value of the portfolio shares from $1,203,875 to $560,625 during such time period. By contrast, the Company incurred an unrealized gain as a result of the listing of the shares of Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc. for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and the increase in the value of the portfolio shares to $773,904 on July 31, 2006 from $575,000 at April 30, 2006.
 
The Company had unrealized depreciation of ($287,422), net of taxes, for the three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to unrealized depreciation of ($300,775), net of taxes, for the three months ended July 31, 2005 and unrealized depreciation of ($791,456), net of taxes for the year ended April 30, 2006.
 
The Company’s financial condition is dependent on a number of factors including the ability of each portfolio company to effectuate its respective strategies with the Company’s help. The Company has invested a substantial portion of its assets in development stage or start-up companies. These businesses are frequently thinly capitalized, unproven, small companies that may lack management depth, and may be dependent on new or commercially unproven technologies, and may have no operating history.
 
At July 31, 2006, $4,232,726 or 89.1% of the Company’s assets consisted of investments, of which net unrealized gains over the cost before the income tax effect was $347,798. Deferred taxes on account of unrealized gains have been estimated at approximately $227,000. At July 31, 2006, the Company’s holdings of BroadRelay Holdings, Inc., AccelaPure Corporation and Extreme Visual Technologies, Inc. were valued at $867,834, $1,000,000 and $1,000,000 respectively, which represented in the aggregate approximately 67.8% of the total Company portfolio at that date.
 
Because the portfolio companies tend to be at early stages of their business development, and because there are no markets for the securities of some portfolio companies, the Company does not expect to liquidate any of its investments in the near future.

In May, 2006 the Company granted to a stockholder of the Company options to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. On June 15, 2006 this stockholder exercised the option in full and paid for the shares with a promissory note in the face amount of $800,000. The promissory note bears interest at 4.8% per annum, calls for monthly payments of principal and interest over 12 months, and is secured by a pledge of the purchased shares. If any installment of principal or interest is not paid within fifteen (15) days of the date when due, the Company may declare all remaining installments of principal immediately due and payable and proceed to collect the same at once. Under accounting rules applicable to the Company the face amount of this receivable is not included in the July 31, 2006 balance sheet because the note has not been paid.

If, at a future date, the $800,000 note is paid, the net asset value of the Company will increase by the amount of the payment, and the net asset value per share will increase by the amount of the payment divided by the number of shares then outstanding. If the note is not paid and the shares that have been pledged as security for the note are cancelled by the Company, the net asset value per share of the Company will increase as a result of the reduction in the number of outstanding shares.
 
Results of Operations
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. On this basis, the principal measure of an investment company’s financial performance during a time period is the net change in net assets during such period. Such change results from (i) income from operations, net of operating expenses, (ii) net realized gain or loss on investment, which is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio securities and their cost, and (iii) increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation on investments.

Company expenses include salaries and wages, professional fees, office expenses and supplies, rent, travel, and other normal business expenses. General and administrative costs include rent, depreciation, office, investor relations and other overhead costs
 
Three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2005.
 
The Company generated revenue of $592,422 for the three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to $0.00 for the three months ended July 31, 2005. For the three months ended July 31, 2006, 98.9% of the Company’s revenues were generated for services and 1.1% was in the form of interest. !00% of the Company’s revenue for services was received in the form of equity securities.
 
Total operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2006 were $886,691, the principal components of which were payroll of $118,385, professional fees of $519,648, of which $447,000 represents options expense, and $180,994 of share-based compensation expense. By comparison, expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2005 were $254,941, the principal components of which were payroll of $107,308, professional fees of $94,854, travel and entertainment of $13,780, and insurance of $16,147.
 
The Company had a loss from operations of ($294,269) for the three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to a loss from operations of ($254,941) for the three months ended July 31, 2005.
 
In addition, as a result of the distribution of 299,064 shares of common stock of the Company’s portfolio company, Theater Xtreme Entertainment, Inc., the Company realized a net gain of $343,924 computed as follows: The value per share at the record date minus the original cost per share multiplied by the number of shares distributed ($1.50 - $0.35 = $1.15 x 299,064 = $343,924)
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
From inception, the Company has relied for liquidity on the infusion of capital through capital share transactions.
 
The Company does not plan to dispose of any of its current portfolio securities to meet operational needs. However, despite its plans, the Company may be forced to dispose of a portion of these securities if it ever becomes short of cash. Any such dispositions may have to be made at inopportune times and there is no assurance that, in light of the lack of liquidity in such shares, they could be sold at all, or if sold, could bring values approximating the estimates of fair value set forth in the Company financial statements.
 
The Company’s cash expenses approximate $80,000 per month. Because Company revenues, when received, tend to be in the form of portfolio securities, such revenues are not of a type capable of being used to satisfy the Company’s ongoing monthly expenses. Consequently, for the Company to be able to avoid having to defer expenses or sell portfolio companies’ securities to raise cash to pay operating expenses, it will need to sell at least $80,000 per month of common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The Company will be unable to make any new investments for cash unless it succeeds in raising cash in excess of the amounts needed for ongoing operations. At July 31, 2006 the Company had approximately $170,000 in cash and liquid assets.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Valuation
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires periodic valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio to determine the Company’s net asset value. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, unrestricted securities with readily available market quotations are to be valued at the current market value; all other assets must be valued at “fair value” as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
 
15

 
The Board of Directors is responsible for (1) determining overall valuation guidelines and (2) ensuring the valuation of investments within the prescribed guidelines.
 
Fair value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment could be sold in an orderly disposition over a reasonable time. Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing assets, external measures of value, such as public markets or third-party transactions, are used whenever possible. Valuation is not based on long-term work-out value, or immediate liquidation value, or incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future. The values assigned to Company investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined until the individual investments are actually liquidated.
 
The Company’s valuation policy and methodology with respect to its portfolio companies are as follows:
 
Cost: The cost method is based on the Company’s original cost. This method is generally used in the early stages of a portfolio company’s development until significant events occur subsequent to the date of the original investment that dictates a change to another valuation method. Some examples of these events are: (1) a major recapitalization; (2) a major refinancing; (3) a significant third-party transaction; (4) the development of a meaningful public market for such company’s common stock; and (5) significant changes in such company’s business.
 
Private Market: The private market method uses actual, executed, historical transactions in a portfolio company’s securities by responsible third parties as a basis for valuation. The private market method may also use, where applicable, unconditional firm offers by responsible third parties as a basis for valuation.
 
Public Market: The public market method is used when there is an established public market for the class of the portfolio company’s securities held by the Company. However, the Company discounts market value for securities that are subject to significant legal or contractual restrictions. Other securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are carried at market value as of the time of valuation. Market value for securities traded on a securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market is the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. For other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on a day, market value is the last quoted bid price on such day.
 
Analytical Method: The analytical method is generally used to value an investment position when there is no established public or private market in the portfolio company’s securities or when the factual information available to the Company dictates that an investment should no longer be valued under either the cost or private market method. This valuation method is inherently imprecise and ultimately, the result of reconciling the judgments of our directors based on the data available to them. The resulting valuation, although stated as a precise number, is necessarily within a range of values that vary depending upon the significance attributed to the various factors being considered. Some of the factors considered may include the financial condition and operating results of the portfolio company, the long-term potential of the business of such company, the values of similar securities issued by companies in similar businesses, the proportion of the portfolio company’s securities owned by the Company and the nature of any rights to require the portfolio company to register restricted securities under applicable securities laws.
