Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
         
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
   
         
Nature of Operations
       
         
DM Products, Inc.(the Company) was incorporated on March 1, 2001 as Effective Sport Nutrition Corporation. Subsequently, on April 11, 2005, the Company changed its name to Midwest E.S.W.T Corp and on December 14, 2005, it changed its name again to DM Products, Inc.
         
On July 18, 2005, the Company acquired Direct Success, Inc. a California Corporation in exchange for 70 % of the Company's Common Stock, making Direct Success, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Midwest E.S.W.T agreed that a total of 114,851,043 shares of Restricted Common Stock were to be issued to shareholders of Direct Success, Inc.
         
The Company operates from Walnut Creek, California and it wholly owns Direct Success, Inc., which owns 75% of Direct Success, LLC 3,  a limited liability company formed on or about August 16, 2002. Direct Success, Inc. entered into a joint venture with Buena Vista Infomercial Corporation which owns the remaining 25% of Direct Success, LLC 3. The purpose of Direct Success, Inc. is to market products through direct response television infomercials. The companies obtain the distribution, production and licensing rights to products in exchange for royalty agreements based on the sales of the products.  The Company sets up the production, marketing and the distribution of the products.
         
On July 14, 2010 the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary corporation, Aliano, Inc., dba Aliano Westlake Village. The purpose of this fragrance and personal care division is to create, manufacture, distribute and sell prestige fragrances and beauty related products. Effective as of July 26, 2010, Aliano Inc. entered into an agreement with Portia Entertainment Group LLC for legal services described in the agreement. As per the agreement, Portia Entertainment Group LLC is entitled to receive a fee of 5% on the Net Income earned by Aliano Inc. for celebrity endorsees introduce by Portia.
         
On April 8, 2010, a Form S-1 Registration Statement was completed and submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The registration filing was declared effective on October 15, 2010. On April 21, 2010, an Information Statement Form 211 was submitted to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for active trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The filing was approved on November 09, 2010.
         
On December 27, 2011 the Company dissolved Aliano, Inc., dba Aliano Westlake Village since the corporation has been unsuccessful  in raising sufficient capital to commence operations. As a result of this dissolution the intercompany loan between the Company and Aliano, Inc. were written off in the respective books with no effect in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated statement of operations.
         
Basis of Consolidation
     
         
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DM Products, Inc., Direct Success, Inc., Aliano, Inc. and the accounts of its 75% owned subsidiary Direct Success LLC 3. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
         
Basis of Presentation
       
         
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
         
Accounting Basis
       
         
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting).  The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
         
Cash and Cash Equivalents
     
         
All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had cash balances of $15,936 and $26,089, respectively.
         
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     
         
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expense, accounts payable, sales tax payable, and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates, unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
 
 
 
F-5

 
 
         
Income Taxes
       
         
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax, assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of March 31, 2012, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
         
Use of Estimates
       
         
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
         
Revenue Recognition
       
         
The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605 - Revenue Recognition. During the year ended March 31, 2012 revenues came from royalties from the contract Banjo Minnow the fishing lure with TriStar Products, Inc. Revenues derived from the Company license sales are recognized when (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of our fee is considered probable, and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.
         
Direct Success entered into a manufacturing, marketing and distribution agreement with Banjo Buddies, who is the inventor of Banjo Minnow, a fishing lure which Direct Success LLC 3 had a license agreement to market the product since Oct 2002. The Company entered into a modification of said agreement in April 2005. On September 30, 2011 the Company excercised their option to extend the Banjo Minnow agreement until June 30, 2012. On or about May 11, 2005,  Direct Success LLC 3, subcontracted the manufacturing and distribution rights to TriStar Products, Inc.  In March 2007, Direct Success granted back to Banjo, the right to license and privilege for internet sales and small parts sale of the product. Under the agreement, Banjo will pay Direct Success 4% royalty on all gross sales of product. As of date of settlement, effective January 1, 2010, Direct Success no longer receives the 4% royalty for internet and part sales from Banjo Buddies. The revenues are strictly based on the contractual obligation contained in the agreement with Tristar Products, Inc., which are the royalties received from the sales of the Banjo Minnow. These royalty arrangements with Tristar provide the Company with a flat $4.00 (for unit sales under $18) and $5.00 (for unit sales over $18), per unit sold domestically, and $2.50 per unit sold internationally. The present retail price for the Banjo Minnow is $19.95.
         
Concentration of Risk
       
         
The Company is earning (over 90%) the majority of the royalty income from Tristar Products, Inc. Since the Company is depending on Tristar Products, Inc., the inability of Tristar to perform in the future may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
         
Advertising Policy
       
         
The Company recognizes advertising expense as incurred. The advertising expense for the period ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 are $0 and $0 respectively.
         
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
     
         
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2012.
         
Stock-Based Compensation
     
         
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. In 2011, 19,999,999 common shares were issued at the fair market value of $0.0015 per share totaling to $30,000. There was no stock-based compensation granted during the period ended March 31, 2012.
 
 
 
F-6

 
 
         
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees.  In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to operating expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. In 2011, 22,783,333 common shares were issued at the fair market value of $0.0015 per share totaling to $34,175. There was no stock-based compensation issued to non-employees during the period ended March 31, 2012.
         
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     
         
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
         
Note 2: Property & Equipment
     
         
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major expenditures and those which substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations when incurred. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Once placed in service, depreciable assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using both accelerated and straight-line methods.
         
Depreciation expenses totaled $75 and $100 for the the period ended March 31, 2012 and  March 31, 2011, respectively.

Future tax benefits, which may arise as a result of these losses, have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
         
The provision for federal income tax consists of the following:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of $1,420,009 for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, the net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

Note 10: Going Concern
     
         
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has sustained substantial losses since inception, has a working capital deficit, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable.
         
In view of these matters, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon growth of revenues and the ability of the Company to raise additional capital.  Management believes that its successful ability to raise capital and increases in revenues will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
         
Note 11: Subsequent Events
     
         
On April 11, 2012, the Board of Directors entered into a resolution for the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary, ELK Films, Inc., a California corporation.  Articles of Incorporation were filed with the California Secretary of State on April 12, 2012.  The subsidiary has been established to become a film distribution and production company in the motion picture industry.  DM Products is currently in negotiations with experienced management personnel who have long standing relationships in theatrical placement and Print & Advertising.  The Company is also negotiating for the distribution rights to a fully produced family oriented comedy.  
         
In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2012 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any additional material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than those events described above.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.   These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.  We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions.  Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Executive Overview

We, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Direct Success, Inc., develop, finance, produce, market and distribute beauty, fashion, fitness and other products for sale through infomercial marketing and distribution channels. Profits are derived from inbound sales, outbound sales, up sells and retail distribution. Our primary objective is to penetrate this rapidly expanding industry by introducing consumer products to national and international markets through a series of infomercial campaigns. We intend to aggressively develop, finance, produce and market various new products for television infomercials. We intend to systematically expand our product list using a direct response model.

Our operational strategy consists of employing one of three distinct business alternatives for each product/infomercial:

·
Complete Project Funding - The Company would obtain the exclusive licensing rights to products and pay a nominal royalty (2-5%) of gross sales to the product developer;

·
Joint Venture Projects - The Company would share costs of production, marketing and distribution and would share revenues with product developers; and

·
Straight Royalty Arrangements - The Company would partially finance the infomercials in exchange for a fixed royalty on gross sales.

Of course, the key to our ability to continually attract new products and new product developers will, in large part, determine our success. As part of our strategy, we intend to, and have developed, strategic alliances with strong companies that are established operators in the infomercial and advertising industry.  These companies include TriStar Products, Inc. and Script-to-Screen.

Our business is focused on improving shareholder returns with a particular emphasis on profitability and capital productivity.

Economic and market conditions have been, and continue to be, disruptive and volatile.  The availability and cost of credit and currency volatility have obviously contributed to diminished expectations for the economy.  These conditions, along with reduced consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have contributed to reductions in consumer spending, particularly on discretionary products such as the ones offered by DM Products.

Although we continually adjust our procurement, marketing and production schedules, together with an acute awareness of production costs, it is still uncertain as to when the economy will recover, and it is not clear that our current activities will sufficiently offset the impact of the poor economy on our net sales.

Plan of Operation

Since its acquisition of Direct Success, Inc. in July, 2005, we have focused primarily on the manufacturing, marketing, sale, and distribution of the Banjo Minnow Fishing Lure System (“Banjo Minnow”), via a direct marketing campaign, primarily promoted through the production and airing of a thirty minute infomercial.  The exclusive rights to the Banjo Minnow were acquired through a Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement entered into between Direct Success, LLC#3 and Banjo Buddies, Inc., dated October 10, 2003 (prior to the company’s acquisition of Direct Success, Inc

Direct Success, Inc., on or about August 16, 2003, entered into a joint venture with Buena Vista Infomercials, Inc. and formed Direct Success, LLC #3 (a Delaware Limited Liability Company) for the purpose of acquiring the exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights to the Banjo Minnow.   Direct Success, LLC #3 is 75% owned by Direct Success, Inc, while the remaining 25% is owned by Buena Vista Infomercials, Inc.

On or about October 10, 2003, Direct Success, LLC #3 entered into an agreement with Banjo Buddies Inc. (the owner and inventor of the lure) in which Banjo granted to Direct Success, LLC #3 the exclusive rights to manufacture, use, distribute, sell, advertise, promote and otherwise exploit the Banjo Minnow.  Direct Success, Inc. produced and financed the current infomercial featuring the Banjo Minnow and invested substantial capital in its promotion.

On or about May 11, 2005, Direct Success, LLC #3 subcontracted the manufacturing and distribution rights to TriStar Products, Inc.  Pursuant to this subcontract, Direct Success, LLC #3 receives a royalty, based on sales generated by TriStar.

Our rights under the Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement terminate on June 1, 2012.  However, we expect to receive royalty payments from Tristar for several months following the contract’s termination.

Diversification

We realize the need to expand on the products offered to consumers, thereby diversifying our commitments and attracting new customers.  Our directors and officers are consistently approached with ideas for new products from various individuals and companies. It is expected that our officers and directors will continue to be “pitched” for new product ideas and that our referral sources will grow as we gain recognition in the infomercial industry. As opportunities arise, our officers and directors will present potential product ideas to our Board of Directors for its discussion and review.

In deciding which products to pursue, our Board will consider, among other things, the product's viability, costs of development and marketing, acceptable sales price point per unit, as well as the product's overall likelihood of success. In some instances, our Board may retain an outside consultant to evaluate such things as the product's likely market appeal or the product's optimal price point. Although we expect that our directors and officers will continue to be approached by inventors with viable products without any solicitation, the Board of Directors may decide to solicit product pitches or ideas in the future if the Board believes that such a strategy would be in the our best interest.

If the Board approves a product for further development, we intend to retain outside parties to produce the infomercial, assist in the design, the overall marketing campaign and sales process, and source and manufacture the product for competitive rates. When determining what parties to retain for these services, our Board of Directors will consider several factors, including a proven track record, cost and the ability to meet our timetable. We do not intend to retain any one service provider exclusively, and, instead we intend to seek competitive bids from numerous potential providers for each infomercial campaign.

Motion Picture Production and Distribution Division

On April 11, 2012, the Board of Directors of DM Products, Inc. (“DMP”) entered into a resolution for the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary corporation, ELK Films, Inc. (“ELK”), a California corporation. Articles of Incorporation were filed with the California Secretary of State on April 12, 2012. The subsidiary has been established to become a film distribution and production company in the motion picture industry. DM Products is currently in negotiations with experienced management personnel who have long standing relationships in theatrical placement and Print & Advertising.

Our pursuit of this line of business and the appointment of the foregoing persons to officer positions is, however, conditioned upon our ability to raise capital to fund this new line of business.

General

Our results of operations may vary significantly from period-to-period.  Our revenues will fluctuate due to the seasonality of our products, customer buying patterns, product innovations and competition, our ability to meet customer demand, media and advertising campaigns, and our ability to attract new customers and renew existing sales relationships.  In addition, our revenues are highly susceptible to economic factors, including, among other things:  the overall condition of the U.S. economy and economics of other countries where we market our products; and the availability of credit, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012

Our revenue was $6,547 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $1,506 for the same period ended March 31, 2011.   For all periods mentioned above, our revenues were solely based on royalty payments, thus, our cost of goods sold during this period was zero. Pursuant to an arbitration settlement, the contractual term of our rights concerning the Banjo Minnow will continue through June 30, 2012.

Revenues during the first quarter of our fiscal year are traditionally low due to the seasonality of the fishing industry.  Since our sole source of revenue, at this time, is based on sales of the Banjo Minnow Fishing Lure, management is not surprised with the amount received.  It has been the company’s experience that revenues increase during the second and third quarters of each fiscal year.

We have incurred an operating loss in the amount of $62,984 and net loss in the amount of $63,929 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to an operating loss $79,304 and net loss in the amount of $81,010 for the same period ended March 31, 2011.  

Factors contributing to the increased expenses during this same period were primarily the result of the increased legal, accounting, and auditing fees, as well as the increased general and administrative expenses, associated with the company’s obtaining a fully reporting status in October, 2010.  Additionally, the company has incurred increased expenses as a result of its formation of Aliano, Inc. and its due diligence in investigating the possibility of establishing a personal care products division.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012, we had total assets in the amount of $28,554, consisting of $15,936 in cash, $6,407 in Tristar Receivables, and $6,211 in Prepaid Expenses.  Our current liabilities as of March 31, 2012 were $260,281.  We had a working capital deficit of $(231,727) as of March 31, 2012.

Our current monthly fixed expenses (“Burn Rate”) are approximately $30,000.  Based on our history of revenues generated, we believe that we will have adequate funds for the duration of our distribution contract with Tristar, which will expire June 30, 2012,  However, following the expiration of that agreement, and assuming the royalties received between the date of this filing and June 30, 2012 do not remain consistent with the royalties we have received to date, we will be faced with depletion of funds within a short period of time, should the company not have in place additional revenue streams or additional financing.

We also expect to launch our film distribution and production division (ELK Films, Inc.) once sufficient capital is acquired for this purpose.    The expected short term cost associated with developing this line of business is roughly $ 100,000.  This money will be used to pay our management team, consultants, and to secure immediate distribution rights to targeted and completed films.

As of March 31, 2012, our cash reserves were $15,936 and we do have a line of credit which enables us to access $45,000.   If we need to and cannot raise additional capital, we would be forced to discontinue operations.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2012, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4T.     Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2012.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, Kurtis Cockrum.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
