EMAZING INTERACTIVE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities, History and Organization:
Emazing Interactive, Inc. (The Company) operates as an online gaming facilitator through its subsidiary Emazing Gaming, LLC. Online games are rented by the hour, day or month. The Company also generates revenue through partnerships and sponsors.
The Company is located in Allen, Texas and was incorporated on April 11, 2006 under the laws of the State of Texas. On October 2, 2006, the Company converted its corporate charter to domicile in Nevada.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The Companys management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. It is also necessary for management to determine, measure and allocate resources and obligations within the financial process according to those principles. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
Basis of Presentation:
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. All intercompany balance and transactions are eliminated. Investments in subsidiaries are reported using the equity method.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated balance
7
sheets, consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications were not material to the consolidated financial statements and had no effect on net earnings reported for any period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flow. See Note 10 for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in bank with original maturities of three months or less are stated at cost which approximates market value, which in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.
Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives of three years. Repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred.
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Revenue will be recognized only when all of the following criteria have been met:
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·
Ownership and all risks of loss have been transferred to buyer, which is generally upon shipment;
·
The price is fixed and determinable; and
·
Collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenue from game rental is all paid at the point of purchase online through Paypal.
Earnings (Loss) per Share:
Earnings (loss) per share (basic) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by
8
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period covered. As the Company has no potentially dilutive securities, fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is identical to earnings (loss) per share (basic).
Website Software Development Costs:
The Company adopted EITF 00-02, Accounting for website developments costs. In accordance with EITF 00-02, the costs incurred for the (i) website application and infrastructure development; (ii) graphics development; and (iii) content development, which took the website to a functional stage where it could receive server and gaming orders, were capitalized and are being amortized over three years. Maintenance expenses or costs that do not result in new revenue producing features or functions, such as updating information and products or maintenance of the website or promotion of the website using search engines, are expensed as incurred. Prior to this development, Emazing had no website. As of and March 31, 2008 and 2007, $48,488 had been capitalized. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense was $4,040 and $3,20, respectively.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income:
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. For the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, the net loss equals comprehensive loss for the years then ended.

NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES
The Company follows FASB Statement Number 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry forwards. For Federal income tax purposes, the Company uses the cash basis of accounting, whereas the accrual basis is used for financial reporting purposes. In addition, certain assets are charged to expense when acquired under Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code for income tax purposes. The cumulative tax effect at the expected tax rate of 25% of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred tax amounts as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are as follows.

Since the realization of any deferred tax benefits is contingent upon future earnings, no deferred tax asset has been accrued since the likelihood of future earnings has not been demonstrated.
NOTE 6 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND GOING CONCERN
Emazing has an accumulated deficit through March 31, 2008 totaling $266,601 and had negative working capital of $63,569. Because of this accumulated loss, Emazing will require additional working capital to develop its business operations. Emazing intends to raise additional working capital either through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing. See liquidity and capital resource discussion per Item 2 below. There are
11
no assurances that Emazing will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support Emazing's working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, Emazing will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to Emazing. If adequate working capital is not available Emazing may not continue its operations.
Emazing faces many factors in its ability to continue as a going concern, including but not limited to, the promotion of its gaming website, competition from larger and better capitalized companies, and its ability to create traffic to its website and virtual store. To date, much of Emazings activities have been focused on advertising and promotion to create its identity in the community, and its continued existence is dependent upon the gaming public purchasing more time on its gaming servers.
Should the above concerns materialize, it is conceivable that Emazing would have to suspend or discontinue operations. Management believes that the efforts it has made to promote its site will continue for the foreseeable future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Emazing's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Emazing be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 9 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entitys financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

General
We are a gaming organization that is working with prominent marketing services connected to the gaming scene. We specialize in providing marketing awareness of products and services of our customers to millions of on-line gaming players and enthusiasts.
To date, our business development activities have primarily been concentrated in web server access and company branding in hosting web based e-games. This activity is structured whereby our partners and sponsors are provided premium web site exposure identifying their company, name, and product offerings.
We generate revenues through our partnerships and sponsors. Sponsoring EMG GAMING will bring a product and/or brand name into the spotlight of gamers worldwide. Our customer's brand will be synonymous with the youthful intelligent image that pro-gaming has. Our customers have prime advertising space on our website, IRC channel every hour 24/7 and clothes, which we will wear at competitive events all year round. It is primarily through our fee structure for web server access that we generate revenue. Although our web site creates product awareness for our sponsors and partners, our revenue is generated by fees which our partners and sponsors remit to us for that exposure. In the E-Gaming industry, partners and sponsors will pay top dollar for a popular gaming web site as they can maximize their product and name exposure.
We also generate revenue through EMazing Servers, a "Game Server" rental company whereby we rent game servers for players to play a computer game of their choice. We rent game servers for over 32 different games, the most popular being Half Life's Counter Strike and variations of this game. We rent by the hour, day or month. This rental program is unique for our type of service as most companies choose to rent by the month. We feel this gives us a competitive advantage over our competition.
We have three standard packages designed for our prospective partners. Our "Gold" package is aimed to give maximum publicity to our prospective partners, forcing their product into the world of pro-Gaming and showing everybody that their company really cares about the gamers. The Silver" package is aimed at companies with a lower budget that are looking to get their product noticed. The "Bronze" package is for companies with limited budgets but still want involvement in the eSports industry. Following is a chart outlining the benefits of our partnerships/sponsors at the Gold, Silver and Bronze levels.

During 2006, we filed and had approved form SB-1 to raise funds. A portion of the proceeds of the offering are being used to further develop E-Gaming software and lease server capacity and access through server lease agreements. These servers are a major source of revenue for us as we charge access fees to these servers.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS:
GOVERNMENT REGULATION:
At the present time, there are no Federal Government regulations on computer games over the internet or on dedicated servers.
OUR QUALIFICATIONS
Our qualifications are our reputation and experience in the industry. G. Edward Hancock, President, and our contract workers and volunteers have over 50 years combined experience in the E-Gaming industry.

INDUSTRY & COMPETITION:
The eSports industry is highly competitive. eSports is technologically based and through the medium of the internet is readily accessible to most anyone with a computer and a credit card. Barriers to entry are high due to server costs (owned and/or leased), travel expenses, and general living expenses. The more successful and enthusiastic eSport competitors are reliant on sponsors and partners to generate funds to undergird living, travel and equipment maintenance costs. Although highly competitive, it is also highly fragmented. eSports is worldwide in scope and difficult to assess from a competitive standpoint as games are often hot and therefore streaky in play before another company puts out a more desirable game program. Even so, server capacity, speed and graphics generally determine the amount of play a game will generate.
Online gaming has emerged as one of the biggest growing industries in the new millennium. The Far East has played a significant role in paving the way for recognition for online gamers. Multiplayer online games have generated over 1 billion dollars in revenue for the first time, in 2004. A large proportion of this figure has come from player subscription games such as Everquest and Star Wars Galaxies, but a significant amount has also come from the first person shooter game sales. This figure does not include the emergence of sponsored players and teams as has been seen in Asia over the last 18 months with many players earning above $100,000 in sponsorship deals. Typical earnings of a team range between $20k and $40k for the larger events, though this is small compared to the events of Asia.
These events have caused an influx from many large companies wanting to gain access to this emerging market. Names such as Nike, Pepsi, Red Bull, Intel, Dust Off and Oakley. Gaming leagues and competitions such as WSVG, CPL, ESWC, WCG and WEG and leagues such as CAL, have become very popular. News of these events is starting to hit mainstream media outlets such as:
1.
ESPN
2.
BBC News Online
3.
CNN
4.
ABC
5.
MTV
6.
Fuse Network
7.
CBC Television in Canada
8.
Many major online news services such as Yahoo, MSN, Reuters
As more mainstream media becomes involved in promoting gaming events, this allows more companies outside the gaming community to get involved as named above.
OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY
We are a gaming organization that is working with prominent marketing services connected to the gaming scene. Currently, the entire team consists of contract workers including management, sales, technical development, press and our primary team / players department. We comprise of people who have specific
16
gaming experience, a pre-requisite for employment with our company is experience in the gaming world. Combined, our organization holds well over 50 years of experience in management alone.
Management is primarily consisted of our President and CEO. As CEO, he is responsible for coordinating and leading the entire organization to achieve optimal results and goals. This includes directing contract consultants and measuring results. He also manages the budget to satisfy needs for traveling and accommodations to PR events and tournaments. Additionally, our CEO is responsible for strategic thinking and placement within the E-Gaming industry, constantly looking for new opportunities. As such, he is instrumental in building and maintaining sponsor and partner relationships.
EMG GAMING has three major objectives to reach its goal as the best and highest-ranking Professional Counter-Strike team in the world:
1.
Maintain Equipment on the Cutting Edge - It goes without saying that when competing in the technologically advanced arena of professional gaming, you want to remain on the leading edge of the technology curve. Faster machines, graphics cards, and other equipment can mean the difference between winning and losing at this level.
2.
Ability to Travel to Tournaments - There is no use in being professional if one can't afford to travel to the various events and tournaments here at home and abroad. Travel and accommodations represent a significant portion of our costs.
3.
Ability to Train - Professional gamers train for up to 12 hours per day, every day to stay at the top of their game. This does not allow much time for work, and often professional gamers are forced to drop out because they need financial stability to survive. A monthly living allowance would not only allow us to focus on training, but it would also bring greater stability to the team members.
EMazing utilizes their website, emazinggaming.com, as the portal to which e-games are accessed on the World Wide Web. Through links on the website we are able to better manage our visitors, game selection, and visitor profiles, effectively providing us the ability to ultimately understand our customers and their playing habits from which we can then develop more challenging and exciting game content.
All games currently provided by EMazing are third party developed. Through the proceeds of this offering, we will use a portion of the proceeds to develop our own game portfolio. Game development is a capital and time intensive process, usually taking 18-24 months to take a game from concept form to fee based web play. It is our intent to be an industry leading game developer as well as content provider through our interactive website.

REVENUE. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $12,144 compared to $1,437 for the period ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenue is attributed to two items.

EXPENSES. Total expenses for the three months ended March 31 2008, were $65,683 compared to expenses for the period ended March 31, 2007 of $9,731. Expenses were up versus 2007 mainly due to contract services of $30,000 for business development, professional services (accounting /audit fees and business consulting) expenses ($22,000), increased server commitment ($3,500) and computer expenses ($1,000). The above expenses did not include depreciation and amortization of $6,370 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $4,506 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
NET INCOME (LOSS). Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $60,056 compared to the period ended March 31, 2007 of $12,437. The increase in loss correlates to the increase in expenses as discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Emazing filed on Form SB-1, a registration statement with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission in order to raise funds to develop their business.
