CHINA
YOUTH MEDIA, INC.
Notes
to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements - Unaudited
June
30, 2010
1.
Description of Business
China
Youth Media, Inc. ("the
Company") was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on July 19,
1983 under the name of Digicorp. Pursuant to shareholder approval, on October 6,
2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and authorized the Company
to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between the Company and
Digicorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company that was incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law
for the purpose of effecting a change of domicile. Effective February
22, 2007, the Company changed its domicile from Utah to Delaware with the name
of the surviving corporation being Digicorp, Inc.
Pursuant
to a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation filed with the
State of Delaware, which took effect as of October 16, 2008, the Company's name
changed from "Digicorp, Inc." to "China Youth Media, Inc." (the "Corporate Name
Change"). As a result of the Corporate Name Change, our stock symbol
changed to "CHYU" with the opening of trading on October 16, 2008 on the
OTCBB.
China
Youth Media, Inc.
China
Youth Media, Inc. is a China focused youth marketing and media company whose
business is to provide advertisers and corporations with direct and centralized
access to China’s massive but difficult to reach student
population.
Youth
Media (BVI) Limited
On May 8,
2008, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Company formed Youth
Media (BVI) Limited ("YM BVI"). YM BVI is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company and was established for the purpose of incorporating the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong.
Youth
Media (Hong Kong) Limited and Youth Media (Beijing) Limited
Youth
Media (Hong Kong) Limited ("YMHK"), a company organized under the laws of Hong
Kong on May 19, 2008, and Youth Media (Beijing) Limited (“YMBJ”), a company
organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China on December 10, 2008,
are wholly-owned subsidiaries of YM BVI and were formed by the Company to take
advantage of its shift in business to aggregation and distribution of
international content and advertising for Internet or online consumption in
China.
Rebel
Crew Films, Inc.
Rebel
Crew Films is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was organized under
the laws of the State of California on August 7, 2002. In January 2008, the
Company entered into a license and distribution agreement with Westlake
Entertainment, Inc. which effectively shifted all day-to-day operations related
to our home video library (the "Westlake Agreement"). Effective the
date of the Westlake Agreement, Rebel Crew Films ceased operations and is
currently maintained as a corporation in good standing with no
operations.
Recent
Developments
Although
written demand for payment has not yet been made, we have been advised by XSEL
that it will not provide any additional funds to YMHK under the Joint Venture
Agreement. See Note 11 Note Payable. As a result, we are seeking additional
financing to fund our operations. In addition, we have made overtures to XSEL to
restructure the debt obligations of our subsidiaries, YMHK and YMBJ. To date,
all such efforts have been unsuccessful. While we believe that the Joint Venture
Agreement provides that any and all amounts due to XSEL are not due until twelve
months after written demand for payment has been made which demand has not yet
been provided, XSEL may claim that such amounts are immediately due and payable
based upon certain other language in the Joint Venture Agreement. While we
believe such is contrary to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, no
assurance can be given that we will prevail in the event our interpretation is
challenged in any legal proceeding. In addition, no assurance can be made that
we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all.
In this regard, unless we are able to restructure the existing debt obligations
of our subsidiaries, YMHK and YMBJ, to XSEL, we believe our ability to obtain
any such additional financing will be significantly impaired.
As a
result of the foregoing, we have recently substantially reduced our operations
and terminated various employees in our subsidiary, YMBJ. While we are trying to
maintain limited operations, no assurance can be made that we will be able to
continue our business operations for more than a limited period of time,
including but not limited to maintaining our ITVN media portal called Koobee.
Because of these recent developments, we may be forced to further scale down or
possibly cease all business operations, as a result of which investors could
lose their investment.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of
America ("GAAP").
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30,
2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21.76 million and a working
capital deficit of $1.18 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the
Company incurred a loss of approximately $1.6 million. During the six months
ended June 30, 2010, the Company primarily relied upon financing activities to
fund its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is currently
seeking additional financing to fund its operations, however no assurances can
be made that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms,
if at all. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on
knowledge of current events and anticipated future events and accordingly,
actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign
Operations and Foreign Currency Transactions
The
Company's functional currency is the United States Dollar (the "US Dollar").
From time to time, and with the contemplation of expanding the Company's
operations in China, the Company enters into transactions denominated in foreign
currencies, such as, the People's Republic of China and SAR Hong Kong, whose
principal units are the Renminbi ("RMB") and the Hong Kong Dollar ("HK Dollar"),
respectively.
The
Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong uses the US Dollar as its functional
currency.
The
Company's subsidiary in China, whose principal country of operations is the PRC,
uses the RMB as its functional currency. The financial position and results of
operations are therefore recorded in RMB. In accordance with ASC 830 "Foreign
Currency Translation" which codified Statement of Financial Accounts Standards
("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the Company's China
subsidiary's financial statements are translated into U.S. Dollars (USD).
According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder's equity are translated at
the historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the
weighted average exchange rate for the year.
The
average rate of exchange during the six months ended June 30, 2010 for the
Chinese Yuan to the United States Dollar is based on the exchange rate quoted by
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which represents the noon buying rate in
the City of New York and is certified for customs purposes. These exchange rates
are not intended to imply that the foreign exchange rates quoted could have
been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into U.S. dollars or any other
currency at the quoted rate on the date of the transaction.
The
Company's China subsidiary's assets and liabilities denominated in RMB at the
balance sheet date are translated at the going market rate of exchange at that
date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is
translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital
contribution. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under Other
Comprehensive Income in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ASC 220
that codified SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income. At June 30, 2010
and 2009, the comprehensive losses were $482 and zero, respectively; differences
and amounts were immaterial.
7
The
Company’s foreign operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by
periodic changes or developments in the foreign countries’ political and
economic conditions, as well as, changes in laws and regulations. Any such
changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Risks
related to cash
The
Company maintains cash in bank and deposit accounts, which at times may exceed
federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk
on cash and cash equivalents.
Risks
related to our foreign operations
The
Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many
respects, including in the amount of government involvement, level of
development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of
resources. While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth since
the late 1970s, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various
sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented numerous measures
to encourage economic growth and to guide the allocation of resources. Some of
these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but also have a negative
effect on us.
The
Company's subsidiary Youth Media (Beijing) Limited's operations are carried out
in China and consequently, the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations may be affected by the political, economic and legal
environment in China, and by the general state of the Chinese economy. The
Company's operations in the China are subject to specific considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The
Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies
with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other
things.
Cash
and Cash equivalents
The
Company considers only highly liquid investments such as money market funds and
commercial paper with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of their
acquisition as cash and cash equivalents.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
accounting standards regarding disclosures about fair value of financial
instruments defines financial instruments and required fair value disclosure of
those instruments. This accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a
three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and
enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. Receivables,
investments, payables, short and long term debt and warrant liabilities
qualified as financial instruments. Management believes the carrying amounts of
receivables, payables and debt are a reasonable estimate of fair value because
of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their
expected realization, and if applicable, their stated interest rate is
equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined
as follows:
Level
1
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical
assets or liabilities in active
markets.
|
Level
2
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the
assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the financial
instruments.
|
Level
3
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair
value.
|
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and
equity under the accounting standards regarding accounting for certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, accounting for
derivative instruments and hedging activities, accounting for derivative
financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own
stock, and the accounting standard regarding determining whether an instrument
(or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The accounting
standard specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a
derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified
in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be
considered a derivative financial instrument. This standard provides a two-step
model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded
feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for this
accounting standard scope exception. All warrants issued by the Company are
denominated in U.S. dollars.
8
Goodwill
In
accordance with Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is defined as the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value assigned to individual assets acquired and
liabilities assumed and is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level
(operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis
in the Company's fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if indicators of
impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The
first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the
Company's reporting units with each respective reporting unit's carrying amount,
including goodwill. The fair value of reporting units is generally determined
using the income approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds
the reporting unit's fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test
is performed to determine the amount of any impairment loss. The second step of
the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the
reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. No
amortization is recorded for goodwill with indefinite useful life. No Goodwill
impairment was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Intangible
Assets
In
accordance with Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, intangible assets that are determined not to
have an indefinite useful life are subject to amortization. The Company
amortizes intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives.
Impairment
of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
In
accordance with Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The
Company assesses the recoverability of the long-lived and intangible assets by
comparing the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flow
associated with the related assets. No impairment of was recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the
provisions of Share-Based
Payment, which addresses the accounting for employee stock options. SFAS
No. 123R revises the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting-Based Compensation ("SFAS
No. 123"), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (“APB No. 25”). SFAS No. 123R requires that the cost of all
employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements,
be reflected in the financial statements over the vesting period based on the
estimated fair value of the awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2010
and June 30, 2009, the Company had stock-based compensation expense related to
issuances of stock options and warrants to the Company's employees, directors
and consultants of $801,500 and $1,179,400, respectively.
Revenue
Recognition

Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line
method over the useful lives of the assets, generally from three to seven years.
Property and equipment at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are presented net
of accumulated depreciation of $54,500 and $41,000, respectfully.
Beneficial
Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable
The
Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines
established by Accounting for
Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") 98-5, Accounting for Convertible
Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable
Conversion Ratios and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible
Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature ("BCF") of a convertible
note, is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain
notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or
in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a
convertible note when issued and also records the estimated fair value of the
warrants issued with those convertible notes.
9
The BCF
of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note's proceeds
to the warrants and as a reduction of the carrying amount of the convertible
note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are
credited to additional paid-in-capital. The Company calculates the fair value of
warrants issued with the convertible note using the Black-Scholes valuation
model and uses the same assumptions for valuing employee options in accordance
with SFAS No. 123R. The only difference is that the contractual life of the
warrants is used.
The value
of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the
conversion feature and warrants on a relative fair value basis. The allocated
fair value is recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a debt
discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is
amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion
date of the note, if sooner) and is credited to interest expense.
Income
Taxes
The
Company follows “Accounting for Income Taxes” that requires recognition of
deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists
of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Because the Company had no
operations within the United States there is no provision for US income taxes
and there are no deferred tax amounts as of June 30, 2010 and 2009.
The
charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items
which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred
tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and
deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences
can be utilized.
Deferred
tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or
credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or
charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded in
equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to
settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The
Company adopted “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, as of January 1,
2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than
not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax
examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount
of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.
For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is
recorded. The adoption of ASC 740-10-25 had no affect on the Company’s financial
statements.
Advertising
Costs
The
Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. Advertising expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,800 and $3,200,
respectively.
Subsequent
Events
During
May 2009 and February 2010, the FASB issued new authoritative pronouncement
regarding recognized and non-recognized subsequent events. This guidance
establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are
issued or are available to be issued. The Company adopted this guidance during
our second fiscal quarter of 2009 and it had no impact on the Company’s results
of operations or financial position. The Company has evaluated
subsequent events through August 20, 2010, the date which the financial
statements were available to be issued.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to
Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update
clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows
them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total
amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is
considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a
stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings
Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual
periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a
retrospective basis. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
10
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 - Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - a Scope Clarification. The amendments
in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a
decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity.
The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges
a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an
equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective
beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51." If
an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in
this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the
amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual
reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this
update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity
adopted SFAS No. 160. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 - Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that
requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A
reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers
in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the
reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In
the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable
inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather
than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that
clarify existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting
entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of
assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities
within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity
needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and
liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting
entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used
to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that
fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of
existing disclosures are effectivefor interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3
fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal
years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, we do not
expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In
September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-09 “Accounting for Investments-Equity
Method and Joint Ventures and Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to
Non-Employees”. This update represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4,
Accounting by an Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of
an Equity Method Investee. Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting
Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to
Other Than Employees to the Codification. The Company does not expect the
adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-08
“Earnings Per Share - Amendments to Section 260-10-S99”, which represents
technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share, based on EITF
Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period that includes a
Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock
and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the
Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock. The Company does not expect
the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August
2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 “Fair
Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 - Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value”, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures - Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This
update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in
an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting
entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following
techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the
identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar
liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another valuation
technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two examples
would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market
approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement
date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or
would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments in this
update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a
reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to
other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the
transfer of the liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that both
a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an
asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset
are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company does not expect
the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
11
In August
2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-04
“Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section 480-10-S99”
which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing liabilities
from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable
Securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued standards that establishes only two levels of U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), authoritative and
nonauthoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
“Codification”) became the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except
for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification became nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial
statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15,
2009. We have begun to use the new guidelines and numbering system prescribed by
the Codification when referring to GAAP and anticipate complete adoption in the
third quarter of fiscal 2010. As the Codification was not intended to change or
alter existing GAAP, it will not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued standards that responds to concerns about the application
of certain key provisions of FASB Interpretation (FIN) 46(R), including those
regarding the transparency of the involvement with variable interest entities.
Specifically, the standards require a qualitative approach to identifying a
controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and
requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an
interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In
addition, the standard requires additional disclosures about the involvement
with a VIE and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.
In June
2009, the FASB issued standards that eliminate the concept of a “qualifying
special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial
assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information
reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency
about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and
an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to
transferred financial assets. This standard is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of
this standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.
In May
2009, the FASB issued standards that requires management to evaluate subsequent
events through the date the financial statements are either issued, or available
to be issued. Companies are required to disclose the date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated. This standard is effective for interim or
annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company evaluated its
March 31, 2010 financial statements for subsequent events through May 21, 2010,
the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the
events in Note 16, the Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would
require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued standards that require disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies
as well as in annual financial statements. This standard also requires those
disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.
This standard applies to all financial instruments within the scope of Statement
107 held by publicly traded companies, as defined by APB 28, and requires that a
publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its
financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for
interim reporting periods. This standard is effective for interim reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods
ending after March 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to
have a material impact on the Company’s income statement, financial position or
cash flows.
In April
2009, the FASB issued standards that provide additional guidance for estimating
fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have
significantly decreased and also includes guidance on identifying circumstances
that indicate a transaction is not orderly for fair value measurements. This
standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.
We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the
Company’s income statement, financial position or cash flows.

Loss Per Common Share
Income
(loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. The Company complies with Earnings Per Share, which
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face
of the statements of operations. Basic per share earnings or loss excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted per share earnings or loss reflect the potential dilution that could
occur if convertible preferred stock or debentures, options and warrants were to
be exercised or converted or otherwise result in the issuance of common stock
that is then shared in the earnings of the entity.
13
Since the
effects of outstanding options, warrants and the conversion of convertible
preferred stock and convertible debt are anti-dilutive in all periods presented,
shares of common stock underlying these instruments have been excluded from the
computation of Loss per Common Share.
As of
June 30, 2010, there were outstanding (i) 40,958,333 options and 550,000
warrants issued pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan, (ii) 2,650,000
shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding warrants that were issued outside
the Company's Stock Option Plan, (iii) 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance
upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and

11.
Convertible Note Payable - Related Party
Mojo
Music Convertible Note
Other
convertible notes payable - related party — On September 30, 2008, the Company
entered into a subscription agreement with Mojo Music, Inc. (“Mojo Music”). Jay
Rifkin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is the sole
managing member of Mojo Music. The Company sold 1.5 Units, with each Unit
consisting of a $100,000 Convertible Promissory Note bearing interest at 12% per
annum, due three years from the date of issuance and warrants to purchase an
aggregate of up to 350,000 shares of its Common Stock. The warrants are
exercisable for a period of five years and have an exercise price equal to $0.09
per share subject to the Company’s filing of a certificate of amendment to its
certificate of incorporation increasing the number of its available shares for
issuance. The subscription agreement with Mojo Music provided the Company with
$150,000 in gross proceeds. Pursuant to the subscription agreement with Mojo
Music, the Company issued 525,000 Purchase Warrants. See Note 17
Warrants.
As the
effective conversion price of the Mojo Music Convertible Promissory Note on the
date of issuance was below the fair market value of the underlying common stock,
the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $28,300 based on the
intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Mojo Music
Convertible Promissory Note. The warrant issued to Mojo Music in conjunction
with the convertible note will expire after September 30, 2013. The Company
recorded debt discount in the amount of $28,300 based on the estimated fair
value of the warrants. In accordance with EITF No.00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments, the debt discount as a result of the
beneficial conversion feature of the Mojo Music Convertible Promissory Note and
the estimated fair value of the warrants was amortized as non-cash interest
expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest
method. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense
of $4,700 has been recorded from the debt discount
amortization.

Convertible Note Payable
On August
29, 2008, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Year of the
Golden Pig, LLC (“YGP, LLC”). The Company sold 2.5 Units, with each Unit
consisting of a $100,000 Convertible Promissory Note bearing interest at 12% per
annum, due three years from the date of issuance and warrants to purchase an
aggregate of up to 350,000 shares of its Common Stock. The warrants are
exercisable for a period of five years and have an exercise price equal to $0.09
per share subject to the Company’s filing of a certificate of amendment to its
certificate of incorporation increasing the number of its available shares for
issuance. The subscription agreement with YPG, LLC provided the Company with
$250,000 in gross proceeds. Pursuant to the subscription agreement with YGP,
LLC, the Company issued 875,000 Purchase Warrants. See Note 17
Warrants.
As the
effective conversion price of the YPG, LLC Convertible Promissory Note on the
date of issuance was below the fair market value of the underlying common stock,
the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $112,700 based on the
intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the YPG, LLC Convertible
Promissory Note. The warrant issued to YPG, LLC in conjunction with the
convertible note will expire after August 29, 2013. The Company recorded debt
discount in the amount of $57,100 based on the estimated fair value of the
warrants. In accordance with EITF No.00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments, the debt discount as a result of the
beneficial conversion feature of the YGP, LLC Convertible Promissory Note and
the estimated fair value of the warrants was amortized as non-cash interest
expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. During
the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense of $18,800 has been
recorded from the debt discount amortization.
13.
Note Payable
On
December 26, 2008, the subsidiaries of the Company, YMHK and YMBJ, entered into
a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) with China Youth
Interactive Media (Beijing) Company Limited (“CYI”) and Xinhua Sports and
Entertainment Limited (formerly Xinhua Finance Media Limited) (“XSEL”) to
develop business opportunities contemplated by the Campus Network Agreements
(the “Joint Venture”). Pursuant to the Joint Venture agreement, XSEL
will provide working capital to YMHK in monthly increments for the twelve month
period ending December 31, 2009 for the operations of the Joint Venture and, to
the extent covered by the budget as set forth in the business plans, for the
general overhead of the JV Companies. The Joint Venture Agreement
provides that YMHK and YMBJ shall be obligated on a joint and several basis,
following written notice from XSEL, to return, repay or reimburse, as the case
may be, all of the working capital provided by XSEL, upon demand by XSEL in the
sole discretion of XSEL, together with interest accrued at an annual rate of 7
percent. We believe that the Joint Venture Agreement provides that
any and all amounts due to XSEL are not due until twelve months after written
demand for payment and, therefore, the earliest date that any twelve-month
written notice can be given is January 1, 2010 in which event the working
capital will be due January 1, 2011. See, however, Note 1 Description
of Business — Recent Developments. At June 30, 2010, the Joint Venture Agreement
with XSEL provided the Company with $2.47 million in gross proceeds and the
Company recognized the amount as a $2.47 million principal amount of a 7%
Promissory Note (the "Xinhua Note") due January 1, 2011.
14. Beneficial
Conversion Feature
As noted
in Note 9 Convertible
Note Payable - Related Party, the Company recorded debt discount in the
amount of $28,300 based on the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion
feature of the Mojo Music Convertible Promissory Note and debt discount in the
amount of $28,300 based on the estimated fair value of the warrants that were
issued in conjunction with the Mojo Music Convertible Promissory
Note. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense of $4,700
has been recorded from the debt discount amortization.
As noted
in Note 10 Convertible
Note Payable, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of
$112,700 based on the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of
the YPG, LLC Convertible Promissory Note and debt discount in the amount of
$57,100 based on the estimated fair value of the warrants that were issued in
conjunction with the YPG, LLC Convertible Promissory Note. During the six months
ended June 30, 2010, interest expense of $9,500 has been recorded from the debt
discount amortization.
On May
11, 2009, the Company granted a consultant, as consideration for services on
behalf of the Company, a vested warrant with a term of 7 seven years to purchase
1,250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The
Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $162,500 based on the estimated
fair value of the warrant. In accordance with EITF No.00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments, the debt discount as a result of the
beneficial conversion feature of the estimated fair value of the warrant was
amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the warrant. During
the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense of $11,600 has been
recorded from the debt discount amortization.

Stock Based Compensation
Effective
July 20, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2005 Stock
Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "2005 Plan"). The 2005 Plan
reserves 15,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of incentive stock
options, nonqualified stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards to
employees, non-employee directors and consultants performing services for the
Company. Options and warrants granted under the 2005 Plan have an exercise price
equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at
the date of grant and become exercisable based on a vesting schedule determined
at the date of grant. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant
whereas warrants generally expire 5 years from the date of grant. Restricted
stock awards granted under the 2005 Plan are subject to a vesting period
determined at the date of grant.
On May 6,
2009, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval which was
obtained at the annual stockholders meeting held on June 19, 2009, an amendment
to the 2005 Plan that increased the number of shares subject to the Stock Plan
from 15,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the
provisions of Share-Based
Payment, which addresses the accounting for employee stock options which
requires that the cost of all employee stock options, as well as other
equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements
over the vesting period based on the estimated fair value of the
awards.

Recent
Developments
On
December 26, 2008, our subsidiaries YMHK and YMBJ entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) with CYI and Xinhua Sports &
Entertainment Limited (“XSEL”), formerly known as Xinhua Finance Media Limited,
to develop business opportunities contemplated by the Cooperation Agreement YMHK
entered into on June 10, 2008 with CYN, CYI and CYN Ads. The Joint Venture
Agreement provides working capital for the purposes of deploying and marketing
the Campus Network. The Joint Venture Agreement provides working capital for a
minimum of twelve months ending December 31, 2009. The Joint Venture Agreement
provides that YMHK and YMBJ shall be obligated on a joint and several basis,
following written notice from XSEL, to return, repay or reimburse, as the case
may be, all of the working capital provided by XSEL, upon demand by XSEL in the
sole discretion of XSEL, together with interest accrued at an annual rate of 7
percent. At June 30, 2010, the Joint Venture Agreement with XSEL provided the
Company with $2.47 million in gross proceeds.
Although
written demand for payment has not yet been made, we have been advised by XSEL
that it will not provide any additional funds to YMHK under the Joint Venture
Agreement. As a result, we are seeking additional financing to fund our
operations. In addition, we have made overtures to XSEL to restructure the debt
obligations of our subsidiaries, YMHK and YMBJ. To date, all such efforts have
been unsuccessful. While we believe that the Joint Venture Agreement provides
that any and all amounts due to XSEL are not due until twelve months after
written demand for payment has been made which demand has not yet been provided,
XSEL may claim that such amounts are immediately due and payable based upon
certain other language in the Joint Venture Agreement. While we believe such is
contrary to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, no assurance can be given
that we will prevail in the event our interpretation is challenged in any legal
proceeding. In addition, no assurance can be made that we will be able to obtain
additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. In this regard, unless we
are able to restructure the existing debt obligations of our subsidiaries, YMHK
and YMBJ, to XSEL, we believe our ability to obtain any such additional
financing will be significantly impaired.
As a
result of the foregoing, we have recently substantially reduced our operations
and terminated various employees in our subsidiary, YMBJ. While we are trying to
maintain limited operations, no assurance can be made that we will be able to
continue our business operations for more than a limited period of time,
including but not limited to maintaining our ITVN media portal called Koobee.
Because of these recent developments, we may be forced to further scale down or
possibly cease all business operations, as a result of which investors could
lose their investment.
Our
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
Youth
Media (BVI) Limited
On May 8,
2008, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Company formed Youth
Media (BVI) Limited ("YM BVI"). YM BVI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and was established for the purpose of incorporating the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong.
Youth
Media (Hong Kong) Limited and Youth Media (Beijing) Limited
Youth
Media (Hong Kong) Limited ("YMHK"), a company organized under the laws of Hong
Kong on May 19, 2008, and Youth Media (Beijing) Limited (“YMBJ”), a company
organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China on December 10, 2008,
are wholly-owned subsidiaries of YM BVI and were formed by the Company to take
advantage of its shift in business to aggregation and distribution of
international content and advertising for Internet or online consumption in
China.
19
Rebel
Crew Films, Inc.
Rebel
Crew Films is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was organized under
the laws of the State of California on August 7, 2002. In January 2008, the
Company entered into a license and distribution agreement with Westlake
Entertainment, Inc. which effectively shifted all day-to-day operations related
to our home video library (the "Westlake Agreement"). Effective the
date of the Westlake Agreement, Rebel Crew Films ceased operations and is
currently maintained as a corporation in good standing with no
operations.
Company
History
China
Youth Media, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on July 19,
1983 under the name of Digicorp. On February 22, 2007, we changed the Company’s
domicile from the State of Utah to the State of Delaware effected by the merger
of the Company, a Utah corporation, with and into, Digicorp, Inc., a newly
formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was incorporated under the
Delaware General Corporation Law for the purpose of effecting the change of
domicile.
The
Company changed its name from “Digicorp, Inc.” to “China Youth Media, Inc.” (the
“Corporate Name Change”) pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment to our
Certificate of Incorporation filed with the State of Delaware which took effect
as of October 16, 2008. The Corporate Name Change was approved and authorized by
the Board of Directors of the Company and by the holders of shares representing
a majority of our voting securities which holders have given their written
consent. As a result of the Corporate Name Change, our stock symbol changed to
“CHYU” with the opening of trading on October 16, 2008 on the
OTCBB.
The
Company is organized in a single operating segment with no long-lived assets
outside of the United States of America. All of our revenues to date have been
generated in the United States, but with the development of our China ITVN media
portal, we expect that a portion of our future revenues will be from other
countries.
Revenue
Sources
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company, including its subsidiaries,
generated revenue primarily from digital content distribution and website ad
revenue.
Advertising Supported Intranet
Television Network Media Website - Koobee is a large scale,
advertising supported Intranet Television Network (ITVN) media portal that is
initially targeting China’s campus based college students, estimated to total
more than 30 million young people. Koobee is a venue for marketers to deliver
traditional TV spots and new media advertising campaigns to a vast, upwardly
mobile, targeted demographic. Advertisers and channel owners will have available
to them multiple touch points ranging from interstitial interactive ads to
banners within social networking clubs and sponsored competitions, all with
accurate ad tracking that ensures clients realize value from unique and fully
licensed content. We expect this combination to be competitive and sufficiently
appealing to capture market share in China’s fast growth online advertising
industry. We believe that significant opportunities exist in the China Internet
advertising space, and we will actively pursue this potential source of revenue
during the year ending December 31, 2010.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are
based upon the accompanying financial statements which have been prepared in
accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires that we
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management evaluates on an on-going basis
our estimates with respect to the valuation allowances for accounts receivable,
income taxes, accrued expenses and equity instrument valuation, for example. We
base these estimates on various assumptions and experience that we believe to be
reasonable. The following critical accounting policies are those that are
important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of
operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are
inherently uncertain.
The
following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates
used in the preparation of our financial statements and, in particular, our most
critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of our intangible assets and
stock based compensation.
Beneficial Conversion Feature of
Convertible Notes Payable - The Beneficial Conversion Feature ("BCF") of
a convertible note, is normally characterized as the convertible portion or
feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below
market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company accounts for BCF in
accordance with the guidelines established by Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") 98-5, Accounting for
Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently
Adjustable Conversion Ratios. The Company records a BCF related to the
issuance of a convertible note when issued and also records the estimated fair
value of the warrants issued with those convertible notes. The BCF of a
convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note's proceeds to
the warrants and as a reduction of the carrying amount of the convertible note
equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are
credited to additional paid-in-capital. The Company calculates the fair value of
warrants issued with the convertible note using the Black-Scholes valuation
model and uses the same assumptions for valuing employee options in accordance
with SFAS No. 123R. The only difference is that the contractual life of the
warrants is used. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is
then allocated between the conversion feature and warrants on a relative fair
value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the consolidated financial
statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and
such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to
the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is credited to interest
expense.
20
Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets - Goodwill and Intangible Assets correspond to the excess cost
over fair value of certain assets during acquisition. In accordance with the
provisions of FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, goodwill and intangible assets acquired that are determined to
have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization, but instead are
tested for impairment at periodic intervals. Intangible assets with a useful
life that can be estimated are amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values and are reviewed periodically for
impairment in accordance with Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Certain events or changes in circumstances
may occur that indicate that goodwill or assets are impaired and consequently
require testing on a periodic basis. Determining the fair value of goodwill or
assets is subjective in nature and involves using estimates and assumptions. We
base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but
that are inherently uncertain. To date we have not recognized impairments on any
of our goodwill and other intangible assets.
Stock-Based Compensation - We
have adopted the provisions of Share-Based Payment, which
requires that share-based payments be reflected as an expense based upon the
grant-date fair value of those grants. Accordingly, the fair value of each
option grant, non-vested stock award and shares issued under our employee stock
purchase plan, were estimated on the date of grant. We estimate the fair value
of these grants using the Black-Scholes model which requires us to make certain
estimates in the assumptions used in this model, including the expected term the
award will be held, the volatility of the underlying common stock, the discount
rate, dividends and the forfeiture rate. The expected term represents the period
of time that grants and awards are expected to be outstanding. Expected
volatilities were based on historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free
interest rate approximates the U.S. treasury rate corresponding to the expected
term of the option. Dividends were assumed to be zero. Forfeiture estimates are
based on historical data. These inputs are based on our assumptions, which we
believe to be reasonable but that include complex and subjective variables.
Other reasonable assumptions could result in different fair values for our
stock-based awards. Stock-based compensation expense, as determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model, is recognized on a straight line basis over
the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. To the extent that actual
results or revised estimates differ from the estimates used, those amounts will
be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period that estimates are
revised.
Results
of Operations
Quarter
Revenues
Revenue for the Three Months
ended June 30, 2010 was $40,000 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2009 in which we generated no revenues. The increase in revenue
during the three months ended June 30, 2010 is principally attributed to the
change in the Company strategy to building and launching a large scale,
advertising supported Internet media portal in China. Revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was $78,000 and zero,
respectively.
Quarter
Operating Expenses
Operating
expenses were $554,000 and $1,931,000 during the three months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The significant component in the decrease in
operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was as a result
of our recent substantial reduction in our operations and termination various
employees in our subsidiary, YMBJ. See “Recent Developments” under
Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations. Operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1,624,000 and $2,626,000.
Stock-based compensation
expense from grants of nonqualified stock options to our employees and
non-employee directors changed to $802,000 during six months ended June 30, 2010
from $1,179,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and resulted primarily
from recent grants of nonqualified stock options to employees of the
Company.
Salaries and employee benefits,
excluding stock based compensation expense, reflected a significant
decrease of approximately $120,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the three months ended June, 2009 and was as a result of our recent
substantial reduction in our operations and termination various
employees. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
salaries and employee benefits, excluding stock based compensation expense was
$30,000 and $150,000, respectively. During the six months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, salaries and employee benefits, excluding stock based
compensation expense was $207,000 and $235,000, respectively.
Amortization of Content Licenses and
Cooperation Agreements. Non-cash amortization expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $49,000 and $170,000,
respectively. Non-cash amortization
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $204,000 and
$339,000, respectively.

months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $16,000 and $7,000,
respectively. The fees paid for Accounting services are related to
Auditing and SEC filing requirements. Accounting fees for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $26,000 and $28,000,
respectively.
Legal expense during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $3,000 and $16,000, respectively.
The decrease in legal fees paid is attributed primarily to our recent
substantial reduction in our operations and substantial reduction in our
development of new contracts and transactions. Legal expense during
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $6,000 and $116,000,
respectively.
Consulting fees during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $43,000 and
$53,000. Consulting fees during the six months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009 were $135,000 and $138,000, respectively.
General and administrative
expense during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $43,400
and $270,000, respectively. General and administrative expense during
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $103,400 and $445,000,
respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expense is
primarily attributed to our recent substantial reduction in our
operations. See “Recent Developments” under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Net
Loss
For the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company had a net loss of
approximately $1,606,000 and $2,668,000, respectively. The decrease
in the net loss recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily attributed to our recent
substantial reduction in our operations. See “Recent Developments” under Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company had a net loss of approximately $544,000 and $1,952,000, respectively.
Interest
Income and Other, Net
Given the
financials constraints of the Company and its reliance on financing activities,
interest expense related to the financing of capital was $158,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and $1400,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of
liquidity are cash generated from financing activities. As of June 30,
2010, our cash and cash equivalents were $5,000. We had a working capital
deficit of approximately $1,180,000 at June 30, 2010 and we continue to have
recurring losses. In the past we have primarily relied upon financing activities
and loans from related parties to fund our operations. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are
actively seeking sources of additional financing in order to maintain and
potentially expand our operations and to fund our debt repayment obligations.
Even if we are able to obtain funding, there can be no assurance that a
sufficient level of sales will be attained to fund such operations or that
unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. Future events, including the problems,
delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated
companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions,
may lead to cost increases that could make the net proceeds of any new funding
and cash flow from operations insufficient to fund our capital requirements.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such additional
funding from management or other investors on terms acceptable to us, if at
all. See “Recent Developments” above for information on certain
matters which may jeopardize our ability to continue operations.
Total assets were $4,509,384
at June 30, 2010 versus $5,094,407 at December 31, 2009. The change in total
assets is attributable to a decrease in cash of approximately $176,000 used
during the normal course of operations and to the non-cash amortization expense
of $266,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, and the termination of
certain service agreements for content delivery and bandwidth primarily as a
result of our recent substantially reduction in operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues and results of
operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.

Item
4T. Controls and Procedures.
As of the

supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation,
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of
June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2)
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Commission’s rules and forms. There was no change to our internal
controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
