Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The condensed interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in United States dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010, and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report;
however,
you should not rely on the financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. Results of operation for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over a period of the shorter of the related applicable lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense for the six months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, was $3,030 and $4,030 respectively.
Long Term Assets
The Book, TV and Film Rights costs are recorded as assets as required by the AICPA Statement Of Position 00-2. The costs will be amortized using the individual film forecast computation method.
Global Universal Film Group, Inc. (“GUFG”) purchased the majority of the Books, TV and Movie Rights in January, 2006, for approximately $160,000. The total capitalized assets as of June 30, 2011, were $717,230, reflecting movie rights acquired for $450,000 in the prior year. The expenditures that are related to specific Film, TV or Book projects are capitalized as a long-term asset. The capitalized costs will be amortized using the individual film forecast computation method as film revenues are obtained.
Website Software
The Company adheres to the AICPA Statement of Position 98-1 Accounting For The Cost Of Computer Software Developed or Obtained For Internal Use. During the year 2007 the Company had expenditures of $6,000 for GUFG, our subsidiary for the development of its website. Software purchased will be amortized over a period of three years straight-line basis. The amortization will begin in the year 2008. The website expenditure has been fully amortized as of December 31, 2010.
Revenue Recognition
Film revenue from licensing agreements is recognized when the license period Begins and the licensee and the Company become contractually obligated under a non-cancellable agreement. All revenue recognition for license agreements is in compliance with the AICPA's Statement of Position 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films. To date, GUFG has not produced any film revenue.
On May 9, 2011, the Company received a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Company’s filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Staff expressed concern that the $450,000 in revenues received from Global Universal Pictures, Inc. (“GUP”) and recognized by the Company in 2010 was not appropriately recognized as the cash was received from an affiliated party and subsequently re-invested into a special purpose entity formed by the affiliated party to fund production of the films.
The Company disagreed with the Staff’s position in as much as each payment received was in exchange for the sale of a valuable asset (i.e., the intellectual property rights underlying the film), and the subsequent decision to invest in the production of the film was in exchange for separate valuable consideration (i.e., the exclusive sales rights to the films).
In late July, 2011, after further discussion and consideration, the Company acquiesced to the Staff’s position and will restate its consolidated statement of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, by eliminating revenue of $450,000. In the future, revenue will be booked as the investment in each film is repaid.
The restatement of revenue for 2010 will be finalized in the third quarter of 2011 and will be included in an amended annual report on Form 10-K.
Until such time as this report is filed, investors should not rely on the financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note 3 - Bankruptcy Petition and Reorganization
On April 2, 2003, certain creditors filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code against LitFunding Corp., a Nevada corporation.
On June 17, 2004, a Plan of Reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The only remaining bankruptcy liability at March 31, 2011 is $40,000 in principal amount of the Company’s 9% Debentures, which matured on June 30, 2008.
Note 4 – Notes Receivable
On September 22, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Global Universal Pictures, Inc. (“GUP”), whereby the Company granted a worldwide, exclusive license to GUP to use the work and screenplay owned by the Company entitled "Blue Seduction" (the "Film"). The license includes: (1) the right to promote the Film throughout the world in all languages and in all distribution markets, including TV, home video, DVD and non-theatrical and theatrical markets, and (2) merchandise rights relating to all goods and services appearing in the Film. GUP is a non-controlled affiliate in which the Company owns thirty percent (30%) of the equity of GUP.
Subject to financing of the Film, GUP agreed to pay the Company an all inclusive one-time fee of (i) U.S. $150,000, evidenced by a Promissory Note originally due March 31, 2009 (the "Fee"), and (ii) revenue representing 50% of GUP's "Net Receipts" from the sale of the Film rights in the worldwide marketplace.
The original terms of the October 2, 2008 secured promissory note of $150,000 called for a due date March 31, 2009 with interest to accrue at 10% per annum. However, due to pending GUP’s litigation against Film Finances of Canada, Ltd.,a completion bond company, the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of this Note until January 31, 2013, in consideration of GUP’s assignment of all revenues due from Starz Media, Anchor Bay and Kaleidoscope Entertainment, it’s distributors for the film
Blue Seduction
. GUP has made periodic payments totaling $86,215, and the outstanding balance, as of June 30, 2011, is $63,785 plus accrued interest of $14,918.
Note 5- Deferred Revenue
On September 22, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with GUP, whereby the Company granted a worldwide, exclusive license to GUP to use the work entitled "Blue Seduction" (the "Film"). The license includes: (1) the right to promote the Film throughout the world in all languages and in all distribution markets, including TV, home video, DVD and non-theatrical and theatrical markets, and (2) merchandise rights relating to all goods and services appearing in the Film. The Company owns a thirty percent (30%) equity interest in GUP.
As a condition to the license, GUP agreed to credit the Company as the source of the original concept (storyline) for the Film and Gary Rasmussen, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, as an Executive Producer.
Upon GUP’s receipt of financing for the production of the Film in October of 2008, GUP paid the Company an all inclusive one-time fee of (i) U.S. $150,000, as evidenced by a Promissory Note originally due on March 31, 2009 (the "Fee"), and (ii) revenue representing 50% of GUP's "Net Receipts" from the sale of the Film rights in the worldwide marketplace. The Company agreed to extend the maturity date for the Note until January 31, 2013.
The $150,000 fee has been reduced by $86,215 reflecting payments against the $150,000 note and recorded as License revenue. The payment of $23,665 received in the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, has been applied against deferred revenue.
Note 6 – Film Participation Agreements
On January 4, 2010, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with GUP, whereby the Company granted a worldwide, exclusive license to GUP to use the work entitled "Plaster Rock" (the "Film"). The license includes: (1) the right to promote the Film throughout the world in all languages and in all distribution markets, including TV, home video, DVD and non-theatrical and theatrical markets, and (2) merchandise rights relating to all goods and services appearing in the Film. The Company received a one-time fee of $150,000 and is entitled to receive thirty (30%) of the Net Profits received from the exploitation of the Film. As a condition to the license agreement, GUP agreed to credit the Company as the source of the original concept for the Film and Gary Rasmussen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as Executive Producer. Additionally, Global Universal Film Group (GUFG), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for film sales and web operations, invested $150,000 into 647241 N.B. Ltd. (doing business as Crush Pictures), the special purpose vehicle formed by GUP to produce and own the Film in exchange for a preferred return of its investment and the exclusive sales rights for all territories, with the exception of Canada. The source of funds was the fee received from GUP for the exclusive license granted by the Company.
On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with GUP, whereby the Company granted a worldwide, exclusive license to GUP to use the work entitled "The Night" (the "Film"). The license includes: (1) the right to promote the Film throughout the world in all languages and in all distribution markets, including TV, home video, DVD and non-theatrical and theatrical markets, and (2) merchandise rights relating to all goods and services appearing in the Film. The Company received a one-time fee of $150,000 and is entitled to receive thirty (30%) of the Net Profits received from the exploitation of the Film. As a condition to the license agreement, GUP agreed to credit the Company as the source of the original concept for the Film and Gary Rasmussen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as Executive Producer. Additionally, GUFG, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for film sales and web operations, invested $150,000 into 649679 N.B. Ltd. (doing business as “The Night Pictures”), the special purpose vehicle formed by GUP to produce and own the Film in exchange for a preferred return of its investment and the exclusive sales rights for all territories, with the exception of Canada. The source of funds was the fee received from GUP for the exclusive license granted by the Company.
In April and May of 2010, the Company finalized its pending transaction with Global Universal Pictures and its subsidiary, 643402 N.B., Inc. (doing business as “American Sunset Pictures”), relating to the Company’s involvement with the feature film titled, “American Sunset” (the “Film”). The Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (“CAVCO”) had requested an amendment of the original Exclusive Licensing Agreement, as well as other supporting documentation, which was originally signed in 2009, to include the transfer of the copyright for American Sunset. The transfer of the copyright rights was done by an amendment to the Exclusive License Agreement, which was signed on May 28, 2010. Additionally, on April 21, 2010, GUFG, entered into a Restated Investment Undertaking, replacing the Company in the original, and a Representation Agreement, whereby GUFG would make the investment in the Film and be entitled to receive a sales fee on all sales of the rights to the Film, with the exception of any Canadian sales.
The foregoing descriptions of our film participation and transaction agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the more complete information set forth in the full text of the related transaction Agreements, which have been filed as exhibits to our quarterly reports for the periods ended March, 2010 and June, 2010, as filed with the SEC last year.
On May 9, 2011, the Company received a comment letter from the SEC relating to the Company’s filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Staff expressed concern that the $450,000 in revenues received from GUP and recognized by the Company in 2010 was not appropriately recognized as the cash was received from an affiliated party and subsequently re-invested into a special purpose entity formed by the affiliated party to fund production of the films.
The Company disagreed with the Staff’s position in as much as each payment received was in exchange for the sale of a valuable asset (i.e., the intellectual property rights underlying the film), and the subsequent decision to invest in the production of the film was in exchange for separate valuable consideration (i.e., the exclusive sales rights to the films).
In late July, 2011, after further discussion and consideration, the Company acquiesced to the Staff’s position and will restate its consolidated statement of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, by eliminating revenue of $450,000. In the future, revenue will be booked as the investment in each film is repaid.
The restatement of revenue for 2010 will be finalized in the third quarter of 2011 and will be included in an amended annual report on Form 10-K.
Until such time as this report is filed, investors should not rely on the financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
On June 10, 2010, the Company entered into a Co-Production and Screenplay Purchase agreement with MPH Productions to acquire the rights to a screenplay entitled “Seeing Things”, and to co-produce said screenplay into a feature film in cooperation with MPH Productions. The terms of the agreement call for the Company to purchase the screenplay at a price of $25,000, with an immediate payment of $15,000 and the balance due upon completion of financing. The Company will have the exclusive right to co-produce the feature film based on the script for a period of one year, with an option to extend said exclusive right for an additional one year upon payment of an additional $5,000. On June 11, 2011, the Company paid MPH Productions a fee of $5,000 to extend its exclusive rights for one year.
Note 7 - Debentures
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued $200,000 in principal amount, 5-year, 9% convertible debenture, due January 1, 2007. Included was one debenture due to a related party for $10,000. Interest is due semi-annually on the first day of June and December of each year, commencing June 1, 2003 until fully paid. As part of the plan of reorganization, these debentures were amended with a new maturity of June 30, 2008. In December 2007, the Company converted $150,000 principal amount of the debentures, plus approximately $21,000 in accrued interest, into 171,000 shares of Common Stock. At June 30, 2011, the Company had debentures outstanding of $40,000, with accrued interest totaling $20,700.
The registered holders of the debentures have the right, after one year prior to maturity, to convert the principal at the original conversion price of $10 for one Common share or at the adjusted conversion price. If and whenever on or after the date of the debenture, the Company issues or sells any share of common stock for a consideration per share less than the initial conversion rate, then upon such issue or sale, the initial conversion rate shall be reduced to the lowest net price per share at which such share of common stock have been issued. The debentures are subordinated to all the senior indebtedness, including debts under equity participation agreements.

Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 6, 2006, pursuant to the terms of a certain reverse tri-party merger with Global Universal Film Group, Inc., dated March 7, 2006 (“Merger Agreement”), we issued a total of 1,500,000 shares of our Series B, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Stock”) to the stockholders of Global Universal. Global Universal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Gary Rasmussen, our CEO, owned 50% of the shares of Global Universal and received 750,000 shares pursuant to the merger. Jackelyn Giroux, President of Global Universal, received 750,000 shares.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Global Universal had the unilateral right to “spin-off” from the Company to become a separate, reporting, publicly held company, in exchange for a $200,000 management fee. Global Universal paid the Company $26,000 in cash and executed a promissory note for the balance of $174,000. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company would retain 10% of Global Universal shares and was required to timely file a registration statement covering said shares of Global Universal thereby effecting the spin-off. The Company failed to file the registration statement.
On October 16, 2006, the Global Universal shareholders elected to spin-off from the Company and the Merger Agreement was amended to provide that if the registration statement was not filed on or before June 30, 2007, then Global Universal would be entitled to a complete refund of the management fee and to effect a private spin-off. The Company’s former management failed to file the registration statement by June 30, 2007.
In September of 2007, Mr. Rasmussen (a former 50% shareholder of Global Universal prior to the Merger Agreement) was appointed to the Board of Directors and elected CEO of the Company. At that time, the Company’s debt was in excess of $3 Million and its core business and primary assets were essentially worthless. The former shareholders of Global Universal (now holders of Series B Stock) decided to restructure the Company and remain a part of it rather than effect a spin off. Accordingly, the Series B Stock was amended to remove the right to effect a spin-off of Global Universal and a new Series C Convertible Preferred stock was authorized by the Board of Directors and issued to the holders of the Series B Stock to reflect changes agreed to between the Board of Directors and the former shareholders of Global Universal.
In December 2007, we agreed to issue an additional 2,490,134 shares of Series B Stock in exchange for the cancellation of $273,915 in debt of Global Universal. Mr. Rasmussen received 343,227 shares directly in his name, and Rochester Capital Partners received 641,225 shares. Ms. Giroux received 1,505,682 shares directly in her name. However, said shares were not issued by our transfer agent until April 22, 2008. The total 3,990,314 shares of our Series B Stock outstanding are convertible into 3,990,134 shares of common stock at anytime. The Series B Stock is not affected by any stock splits. A full description of the terms and conditions of the series B Convertible Preferred stock is contained in the Company’s filing on Form 8-K, as filed on December 12, 2007.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Stock”). The Series C Stock is non-dilutive and, the initial 6,000,000 shares authorized and issued to Gary Rasmussen (our CEO) and Jackelyn Giroux (former co-owner of Global Universal Film Group), will convert into 60% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as calculated immediately after such conversion.
In November, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an additional 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred stock to Mr. Rasmussen in partial consideration for his agreement to: (i) reduce his salary to $10,000 per month, (ii) to defer the receipt of his salary and other compensation until such time as the Company has sufficient funds, and (iii) for his agreement to forego receipt of all accrued salary due him from inception of his employment through September 30, 2008. These shares were issued in April of 2009.
Note 10 – Contingencies
The Company is not a party to any litigation as of the date of this quarterly report.
Note 11 – Warrants and Options

The option vests at the rate of 30,000 shares for each quarter in which the executive has remained an employee in good standing with the Company. The executive is presently entitled to exercise purchase rights with respect to a total of 120,000 shares.

The account was added as additional paid in capital.
Note 12 – Related Party Transactions (See Note 5 – Film Participation Agreements)
On January 4, 2010, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Global Universal Pictures, Inc. (“GUP”), whereby the Company granted a worldwide, exclusive license to GUP to use the work entitled "Plaster Rock – Terror on the Tobique" ("Plaster Rock"). GUP is a non-controlled affiliate due to the Company’s ownership of thirty percent (30%) of the equity interest in GUP. As consideration for the License Agreement, the Company received a one-time fee of $150,000, plus an ongoing thirty percent (30%) equity interest in the net revenues received by GUP from exploitation of the rights to Plaster Rock. As a condition to the license agreement, GUP agreed to credit the Company as the source of the original concept for the Film and Gary Rasmussen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as Executive Producer. Additionally, GUFG, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for film sales and web operations, invested $150,000 into the ownership of Plaster Rock and was appointed as the Exclusive Sales Agent for Plaster Rock for all worldwide territories, except Canada. The original rights to Plaster Rock were acquired by the Company from Jackie Giroux in connection with her previous employment as a shareholder and officer of Global Universal Film Group, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Ms. Giroux will receive a fee as Producer of the Film directly from GUP. The source of funds was the fee received from GUP for the Exclusive License granted by the Company.
On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with GUP, whereby the Company granted a worldwide, exclusive license to GUP to use the work entitled "The Night" (“The Night"). The Company received a one-time fee of $150,000, plus an ongoing thirty percent (30%) equity interest in the net revenues received by GUP from exploitation of the rights to The Night. As a condition to the license agreement, GUP agreed to credit the Company as the source of the original concept for the Film and Gary Rasmussen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as Executive Producer. Additionally, GUFG, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for film sales and web operations, invested $150,000 into the ownership of The Night and was appointed as the Exclusive Sales Agent for The Night for all worldwide territories, except Canada. The original rights to the story for The Night were acquired by the Company from a third party and licensed to GUP. Also, the story was written into a screen play by Ms. Giroux in connection with her previous employment as an officer of Global Universal Film Group, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Ms. Giroux will receive a fee as Producer of The Night directly from GUP. The source of funds was the fee received from GUP for the Exclusive License granted by the Company.
Note 13 - Subsequent Events
On May 9, 2011, the Company received a comment letter from the SEC relating to the Company’s filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Staff expressed concern that the $450,000 in revenues received from GUP and recognized by the Company in 2010 was not appropriately recognized as the cash was received from an affiliated party and subsequently re-invested into a special purpose entity formed by the affiliated party to fund production of the films.
The Company disagreed with the Staff’s position in as much as each payment received was in exchange for the sale of a valuable asset (i.e., the intellectual property rights underlying the film), and the subsequent decision to invest in the production of the film was in exchange for separate valuable consideration (i.e., the exclusive sales rights to the films).
In late July, 2011, after further discussion and consideration, the Company acquiesced to the Staff’s position and will restate its consolidated statement of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, by eliminating revenue of $450,000. In the future, revenue will be booked as the investment in each film is repaid.
The restatement of revenue for 2010 will be finalized in the third quarter of 2011 and will be included in an amended annual report on Form 10-K.
Until such time as this report is filed, investors should not rely on the financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note 14 - Going Concern
Although the Company has recently realized profits, those profits were derived from the sale of intellectual property rights (e.g., music and screenplays) to GUP (a non-controlled affiliate), and those profits were immediately invested into several films being produced by GUP in exchange for the worldwide sales rights for the films, with the exception of Canada. As a result, the Company did not receive any cash flow for working capital purposes in those transactions and has only recently begun to receive cash flow from sales of the films. Over the past two years, the Company has realized significant losses and lack of cash flow. Unless significant additional investment capital is obtained by the Company, or a major reduction in operating losses occurs from positive cash flow from its film sales, the Company could be in jeopardy of continuing operations. The Company seeks to generate needed funds to continue ongoing operations from debt or equity sources, formation of joint ventures, the sale of Company stock through private placement and/or advances from the primary shareholder.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations.
OVERVIEW
Since the Fall of 2008, management of the Company has focused efforts and resources on building its core business of developing, financing and producing feature-length films, which operations are conducted primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries of Global Universal Entertainment, Inc. (U.S. Film Productions) and Global Universal Film Group, Inc. (Film Sales and Internet Operations), as well as through its affiliation with Global Universal Pictures, Inc., a non-controlled Canadian corporation (“GUP”), in which the Company holds a thirty percent (30%) equity interest. The Company has been developing the brand name “Global Universal”, under which certain members of management have conducted operations for over twenty years. Additionally, the Company formed Global Renaissance Funding, LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary that the Company plans to carry out financing activities relating to funding the production of films.
The Company utilizes a combination of high yielding tax credits, bankable pre-sales and reinvestment of its producer's fee to offset a majority of a film's cost.
The films the Company produces itself will eventually become part of the Company’s film library. A film library, over time, is expected to build asset value for the Company. Following the license term of each picture (7 years for direct-to-video releases and 20 years for theatrical releases), the film distribution rights and eventual ownership will become part of the Company’s assets. Consequently, the Company could build a significant film library that may be re-licensed on either an “ad-hoc” or “packaged” basis, or sold to a third party. Film libraries are typically valued by estimating future revenues from future sale cycles and then calculating a net present valuation. Pay, free and syndication broadcasters are continually re-licensing titles. Future revenues may also be derived from new sources such as cell phones, iPods, video on demand, Internet broadcasts etc.
The Company holds a small library of films, which it obtained when it acquired Global Universal Film Group, Inc. (“GUFG”). Additionally, the Company owns the rights “in house” to twelve screenplays (originally written by Jackelyn Giroux), which it intends to either sell or license to other production companies or produce itself or in partnership with other film production companies. The Company is therefore able to by-pass the script optioning process for these films, avoiding rights and development fees, which can be a significant financial burden to the Company and may involve a costly and time-consuming process. Management believes that such proprietary ownership may significantly reduce development costs and the time necessary to move a film project from development to production.
The Company has already sold the intellectual property rights for four films (i.e., story right and/or the screenplay) to GUP, which resulted in the Company recognizing a profit prior to the completion of the films. Such profits were immediately re-invested into the production of these four films in exchange for worldwide sales rights, with the exception of Canada (due to Canadian tax rules requiring sales of such rights in Canada to be undertaken by a Canadian company), as well as a profit participation in each film. The Company has recently realized cash flow from three of such films as the exclusive sales agent.
Current Operations
The Company plans to expand its present business operations from producing low budget, genre pictures with recognizable talent, conducted in the past primarily through Global Universal Pictures (Canada), to our U.S. subsidiaries and is focusing on raising capital for the production of films with better known talent in the U.S. Such films will be produced by Global Universal Entertainment, whose management will concentrate on developing a higher quality, slate of several films with “B+” and “A” rated talent, which are expected to result in significant revenues, as well as the potential for a theatrical release and/or major distribution that could provide the Company with valuable name recognition within the film industry. Furthermore, by producing a slate of planned films in the U.S. (through our wholly-owned subsidiary, GUE), the Company anticipates greater rewards in terms of increasing assets and building a significant revenue stream, because such U.S. films will be 100% owned and accounted for on the Company's financial statements, as opposed to films produced by our 30% owned Canadian affiliate, which the Company accounts for as an investment. Therefore, neither the film asset nor its revenues flow directly to the Company. However, the Company will still be able to realize revenues from the sale of film rights of films produced by GUP because Global Universal Film Group (GUFG) is the sales agent for such films as a result of its investment in the films.
One of the ways the Company plans to facilitate film production activities in the US is by forming joint ventures with entities that have access to financial and/or film production resources which could help build significant assets and revenue streams for the Company, while minimizing investment risk inherent in the film business.
Recently, the Company acquired the motion picture/television rights to the book “Mr. Pink” and also secured permission from the writer of an original screenplay, “Harts Location”, to produce a motion picture based on that screenplay.
Other Business
In late 2010, the Company announced its entry into the business of online distribution and sales of DVD's and Blu-Ray disc's, which operations will be conducted through Global Universal Film Group (GUFG), a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company's
American Sunset
has been offered for sale since September 2010, exclusively on the film's website: www.AmericanSunsetTheMovie.com, operated by GUFG. Just prior to the end of the third quarter, the Company received its first revenues from online sales. The Company is offering
Plaster Rock: Terror on the Tobique
for sale on the film's website: www.PlasterRockMovie.com, also operated by GUFG. The Company has entered into agreements with third parties for the duplication and fulfillment of DVD and Blu-Ray discs, thus establishing the Company's business of online retail sales of DVD and Blu-Ray discs.
In early November, 2010, Global Universal Film Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary, contracted the development of an application that enabled the electronic distribution of
American Sunset
on Apple's iTunes website. This new application technology is being featured initially on iTunes due to the success of the iPhone and iPad, which are emerging as the viewing screens of choice. However, with the recent introduction and high degree of consumer acceptance of other platforms (i.e. Google TV, Apple’s iTv, Sprint's EVO 4g and DroidX), the potential market for the delivery of film content is accelerating rapidly and could help the Company achieve increased results with its online sales.
In late May, 2011, the Company reactivated its website,
www.YouveGotThePart.com
(“YGTP”), to hold online auditions for its upcoming films, including Mr. Pink. The website has become very popular with over 17,500 unique visits to the audition site in the first two months. The Company anticipates it could realize significant benefits from YGTP, including “Word of Mouth” and viral exposure of our films on the social networks, as well as the potential of launching the career of a future superstar.
Results of Operations
The following overview provides a summary of key information concerning our financial results for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010.
Sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2011, is composed of cash funds received from Starz, a 15% sales fee of $11,305, $23,665 cash funds applied against deferred revenue, and $550 in online (Internet) cash sales. Total sales were $35,525.

Sales for the three months ending June 30, 2010, were $150,000 consisting of the sale of screenplay rights for a motion picture produced by GUP.
The decrease of $114,475 (76%) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three-month period ending June 30, 2010, is due to a lack of sales of any screenplay rights.
Total operating expenses were $48,707 and $49,496, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010, respectively. The operating expenses remained consistent for each quarter.
Our net loss was $17,170 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to a net income of $95,147 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in income of $112,317 (118%) was the result of no sales of screenplay rights for the quarterly period, and marginally limited start up revenue from online sales of DVDs and audition revenue from YGTP.
The following overview provides a summary of key information concerning our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are composed of cash funds received from Starz, 15% sales fee of $11,305, $86,215 cash funds applied against deferred revenue and $1,150 in online cash sales for total sales of $98,670.

Total operating expenses were $94,923 and $67,151, for the six months period ended June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010, respectively. The increase of $27,772, 41% in General and Administrative expenses was primarily the result of audit accounting as required by the SEC for past years audited by CPA’s that were barred from performing SEC audits. The remaining difference was due to film development activities, such as travel expenses required to promote developed films.
Our net loss was $7,061 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to a net income of $373,034 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in income of $380,095 (101%) was the result of no sales of screenplay rights for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, and marginally limited start up revenue from online sales of DVDs and YGTP auditions.
Operation Plan
The Company has recently been concentrating its efforts on raising capital to cover basic operating needs and continue production of lower budgeted films, as well as raising significant capital to develop, finance and produce a slate of several, higher quality, feature films (see descriptions of “Mr. Pink” and “Harts Location” projects above) through Global Universal Entertainment, our U.S. subsidiary.
We had minimal cash on hand as of June 30, 2011, and, additional funds will be required to satisfy our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Our plan of operation entails our continued production of films primarily in the U.S., taking advantage of certain State sponsored Incentive programs as well as benefits derived from IRC Section 181, and realistic foreign presales as well as domestic distribution arrangements where applicable.
Additionally, we will endeavor to increase sales of films completed by GUP, pursuant to our sales agreements, and to raise funds to implement our business plan of developing, financing, producing and selling feature films. We plan to raise these funds through private and institutional or other offerings, including equity and interest bearing convertible debentures. To this end, we may retain various consultants, finders and/or brokers to assist us in our efforts to raise larger amounts of capital for investment in the films we produce. As compensation, we may grant these entities incentive stock or stock options and/or render payments in cash.
We will also endeavor to establish relationships with selected financial partners and/or film production companies, whose contributions may include cash, financing enhancements and/or production elements such as production capabilities, working relationships with talent agencies and distribution companies.
The Company is also in discussions with other third party financiers, including lending institutions, private investors, or other sources who are seeking to finance several high quality motion picture projects that will feature well known, recognizable acting talent. These productions will expand the company into “higher quality” product that will command wider distribution both domestically and in foreign markets. While there can be no assurance that the present negotiations will conclude successfully, management is cautiously optimistic about the negotiations and prospects of outside financing for its intended film projects. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to commence any film production and, if we are unable to obtain financing, our ability to continue with planned operations will be materially hindered.
The Company is also discussing a more significant relationship with several foreign sales companies that are expected to represent and sell our library of films, as well as films recently completed by GUP, in overseas markets thereby establishing a reliable stream of revenue for the Company.
The new, “higher quality” pictures into which the Company intends to expand, are expected to add revenue from both the domestic and foreign markets, and from increased exploitation through potential theatrical releases, as well as ancillary rights, merchandising, product placement and new media applications. No assurances can be given that the Company will develop the resources to expand its film projects, or if such films are developed that they will be commercially successful.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of stock and by borrowings. In the future we believe we will be able to provide the necessary liquidity we need by the issuance of debt and equity and from revenues generated from our operations.
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2011, our cash balance was $11,168. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for basic operations over the next 12 months entails the sale of our securities and/or convertible notes to private individuals or institutions, or third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing or through sales of film rights of our own library of films and screenplays, or pursuant to our sales agreement with GUP. We intend to make appropriate plans to insure sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In either case, a lack of financing would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our stockholders.
We anticipate that we may incur operating losses over the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history and lack of a significant level of film sales makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving entertainment and technology markets. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Going Concern
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern remains dependent upon successful implementation of our business plan, obtaining additional capital and financing, and generating positive cash flow from operations. The Company intends to seek additional capital either through debt or equity offerings and believes that our present business of film production will ultimately lead us to positive cash flows and profitability.
Summary of product and research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan.
We do not anticipate performing any significant product research and development under our plan of operation until such time as we complete a merger or acquisition.
Expected Purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment, as such items are not required by us at this time or anticipated to be needed in the next twelve months.
Significant changes in the number of employees.
We currently employ four full-time employees and several part-time employees and independent contractors. We do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of full-time employees during the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily allowance for doubtful accounts receivables, accruals for other costs, and the classification of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards between current and long-term assets. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this report.

5. OTHER INFORMATION
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements
On May 9, 2011, the Company received a comment letter from the SEC relating to the Company’s filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Staff expressed concern that the $450,000 in revenues received from GUP and recognized by the Company in 2010 was not appropriately recognized as the cash was received from an affiliated party and subsequently re-invested into a special purpose entity formed by the affiliated party to fund production of the films.
The Company disagreed with the Staff’s position in as much as each payment received was in exchange for the sale of a valuable asset (i.e., the intellectual property rights underlying the film), and the subsequent decision to invest in the production of the film was in exchange for separate valuable consideration (i.e., the exclusive sales rights to the films).
In late July, 2011, after further discussion between authorized officers of the Company and the Company’s independent accountant relating to this matter, the Company and its board of directors acquiesced to the Staff’s position and will restate its consolidated statement of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, by eliminating revenue of $450,000. In the future, revenue will be booked as the investment in each film is repaid.
The restatement of revenue for 2010 will be finalized in the third quarter of 2011 and will be included in an amended annual report on Form 10-K.
Until such time as this report is filed, investors should not rely on the financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
