EXPLANATORY NOTE
Global Entertainment Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) is amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. This amendment is being filed to restate the Consolidated Financial Statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The December 31, 2009 audited Balance Sheet was included with the December 31, 2010 audited Balance Sheet to conform to the Auditors Report dated April 14, 2011. The Consolidated Balance Sheet Intangible Assets consisting of Book Rights, TV Game/ Reality Show, Film Rights and Movies were analyzed for future revenues and written down from $712,230 to $580, 375 a reduction of $131, 856. Revenues recorded in the Income Statement were $456,262. After discussion with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company acquiesced to the Staff’s position that $450,000 in revenue realized from license fees of film rights should have been recorded as Deferred Revenue, not fee revenue in the current period. An additional adjustment of $62,550, a reduction in Deferred Revenue, has been made to reflect payments made against the Receivable for fees. The net increase of $387,450 is reflected in the adjusted Deferred Revenue balance of $537,450. The net decrease in Total Assets is $131,856. Total Liabilities increased by $387,450, reflecting the net increase in Deferred Revenue of $537,450 and an adjustment for a clerical error of $40,000. General and Administrative expenses increased by $131,856 to reflect the write down of Intangible Assets. Net Revenues decreased $387,450 reflecting the net reclassification of license fees to Deferred Revenue. Net Operating Income was reduced to a Loss of $213,051. Income was reduced by $519,306 to a Loss of $235,063. The reclassification of license fees and the write down of Intangible Assets resulted in an increase in the Total Deficit in Stockholders Equity to $12,025,719. The changes to the financial statements made in this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K were previously reported by the Company in a current report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on September 16, 2011.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain forward-looking statements as defined within Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to revenue, revenue composition, earnings, projected plans, performance, contract procurement, procurement of capital, demand trends, future expense levels, gross margins and the level of expected capital expenditures.

PART I
Item
1. Business
Our Primary Business
Global Entertainment Holdings, through its wholly owned subsidiary companies of Global Universal Entertainment (“GUE”) and Global Universal Film Group (“GUFG”), as well as its 30% owned, Canadian affiliate, Global Universal Pictures (“GUP”), is in the business of producing and marketing low-budget, genre films with recognizable, name talent. The Company’s management believes investment risk can be significantly reduced by utilizing Canadian, U.S. and other major countries Governmental and Territorial tax incentives to cover up to 40%, or more, of each film’s budget. Additional coverage of approximately 25%, or more, of a film’s budget can be derived from distributor financing, or pre-selling either foreign or U.S. rights to a film. The balance of each film’s budgeted cost is obtained from private investment of debt, equity or “gap” financing, or a combination of such items. Recently President Obama re-enacted Section 181 of the U.S. Tax Code, which gives wealthy tax payers a 100% write off on their investment in U.S. produced films. This can help GUE because its method of financing film production entails utilization of state tax incentives, pre-sales from distributors and a benefit of up to 34%, or more, from the Section 181 benefit. This could finance the entire film budget. Management intends to retain revenues generated from a significant ongoing, equity percentage of each film to provide cash flow for operating expenses and to maximize long-term growth for the Company and its shareholders.
OVERVIEW
We are committed to the development and production of commercially saleable feature-length motion pictures having budgets of up to $5 million, but which have enduring value in all media. We anticipate not only producing motion pictures, but also acquiring the film asset to build a library and capitalizing on other marketing opportunities associated with the motion picture.
We currently do not have sufficient capital to independently finance our own productions. We rely on outside sources of financing, coupled with tax incentives and distributor involvement for all of our film production activities. We plan to use most of our available resources to develop our “in-house” library of scripts and to conduct pre-production and marketing activities designed to attract sources of film financing.
At present, we rely on our management’s access to and extensive relationships with, creative talent, including writers, actors and directors, as well as distributors and other movie industry contacts to assist in developing our film projects.
We employ a flexible strategy in developing, financing and producing our motion picture and film properties. We combine our own capital and financial resources with tax incentives and distributor advances to develop a project to the point where it is ready to go into production. We have been able to secure recognizable talent based on the attractiveness of the screenplay, but we may also offer, as an added incentive, grants of our stock or options to acquire our stock. The financing may come from a variety of sources, including federal and provincial governments in the form of tax incentives, financial institutions for production loans, lenders with profit participation, advances or pre-sales from distribution companies, accredited investors or a combination of these outside sources.
Motion picture revenue is derived from the worldwide licensing of a film to several distinct markets, each having its own distribution network and potential for profit. The selection of the distributor for each of our feature films will depend upon a number of factors. Our most basic criterion is whether the distributor has the ability to achieve a high level of sales on satisfactory terms, as well as when and in what amount the distributor will make advances to us. We consider the amount and manner of computing distribution fees and the extent to which the distributor will guarantee certain print, advertising and promotional expenditures. We will not attempt to obtain financing for the production of a particular film unless we believe that adequate distribution arrangements for the film can be made.
No assurance can be given that our motion pictures, if produced, will be distributed and, if distributed, will return our initial investment or make a profit. To achieve the goal of producing profitable feature films, we are extremely selective in our choice of literary properties and exercise a high degree of control over the cost of production. Although we finance our films in a manner designed to help cover our entire production costs, we also endeavor to produce films that will exhibit consumer appeal to help support a theatrical release and drive cable and DVD sales. By keeping strict control of our production costs and capitalizing on the cost advantages of back-to-back production, we strive for consistent and profitable returns on our investment in films.
Feature Film Production
Essential to our success has been the production of high quality films having budgets of $5 million or less that have the potential to be profitable. We will not engage in the production of X-rated material. We plan to make motion pictures that management believes will appeal to the tastes of the vast majority of the movie-going public.
The low budgets within which we operate serve the dual purpose of being low enough to limit our downside exposure and high enough to pay for a feature film with accomplished actors or directors that appeal to the major markets. The market pull of the talent to be used must justify their fees by helping to attract advances. Our budgets must remain small enough so that a large percentage of capital is not put at risk. We intend to produce projects with built-in break-even levels that can be reached with ancillary and foreign distribution revenue. If the movie crosses-over into a wide national distribution release, we can potentially generate a large profit because our share is not limited as with ancillary and foreign revenue.
In order to produce quality motion pictures for relatively modest budgets, we seek to avoid the high operating expenses that are typical of major U.S. studio productions. We do not plan on having high overhead caused by large staff, interest charges, substantial fixed assets, and investment in a large number of projects that are never produced. We believe that by maintaining a smaller, more flexible staff, with fewer established organizational restrictions we can further reduce costs through better time management than is possible in a major studio production.
We also enter into co-productions with experienced and qualified production companies in order to become a consistent supplier of motion pictures to distributors in the world markets. With dependable and consistent delivery of product to these markets, we believe that distribution arrangements can be structured that will be equivalent to the arrangements made by major studios. Our first co-production film was
Blue Seduction
, co-produced with Image In Media, a Canadian film production company. During 2009, we were successful at producing additional feature films and are now earning a reputation of quality, on-time and on-budget performance in the production of feature films. The additional completed motion pictures are discussed below.
Primary responsibility for the overall planning, financing and production of each motion picture rests with our management. For each motion picture we employ an independent film director who will be responsible for, or involved with, many of the creative elements, such as direction, photography, and editing. All decisions will be subject to budgetary restrictions and our business control, although we will permit an independent director to retain reasonable artistic control of the project, consistent with its completion within strict budget guidelines and the commercial requirements of the picture.
Distribution Arrangements
Effective distribution is critical to the economic success of a feature film, particularly when made by an independent production company. We are releasing our films for distribution in the worldwide marketplace through existing distribution companies, primarily independent distributors. We may retain the right for ourselves to market the film to selected territories, and to possibly market television and other uses separately. In many instances, depending upon the nature of distribution terms available to us, it may be advantageous or necessary for us to license all, or substantially all, distribution rights through one or more major distributors. It is not possible to predict, with certainty, the nature of the distribution arrangements, if any, that we may secure for our motion pictures.
Presently, our management is negotiating with several film distribution companies to assist us in financing and marketing additional feature-length films. The distribution companies will typically charge a fee of 15% to 25% for foreign distribution, and 20% to 30% for U.S. distribution. The Company negotiates for the distribution company to provide some financing participation in each film’s budget, which, when combined with tax incentives and debt financing and/or equity participation from an investor, will provide 100% of the cost to produce each film.
Because of the financing incentives noted previously, it is possible that profitability can be realized even for a direct-to-video release, followed by pay, cable, satellite, free and syndicated television exhibition. The Company is hopeful that a minimum of two of its films will warrant and receive a theatrical release, prior to their video distribution. There is, of course, no guarantee of a theatrical release for any film that may be produced by the Company.
In addition, the Company expects to earn additional revenues because it is the sales agent for the past four films which GUP produced. “Blue Seduction” and “American Sunset” are owed money from a Canadian sale in 2010, plus foreign revenues, which GUE receives a sales commission for making each sale. “Plaster Rock” has a pending contract for syndicated television upon which the Company will earn a sales commission, plus the revenues to be earned for “The Night.”
In addition, the Company will this year offer sales on it’s golden vintage films that were produced by Global Universal Film Group years ago prior to its acquisition by the Company. In addition to the sales on the website, GBHL will be collecting a sales commission on those vintage films, as it offers them to syndicated television this year.
The Company is reaching out to third parties, to assist in sales of their independently produced films to collect a sales agency or distribution fee. This could be beneficial as most producers are not knowledgeable regarding film sales, but the global team has the expertise and connections to do so.
Current Film Operations
Blue Seduction
On September 22, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with its Canadian affiliate, Global Universal Pictures, Inc. (“GUP”), whereby the Company granted a world-wide exclusive license to GUP to use the work entitled “
Blue Seduction
” (the “Film”), starring Billy Zane and Estella Warren. The license included: (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. In April, 2008, the Company acquired a thirty percent (30%) equity interest in GUP. Jacqueline Giroux is the founder and President of GUP and owns the balance of the equity of this entity. Ms. Giroux is also the founder and President of Global Universal Film Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and is a major shareholder of the Company by virtue of her holdings of the Company’s Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. (See Item 12.)
Subject to financing of the Film, GUP agreed to pay the Company a one-time fee of (i) U.S. $150,000, plus (ii) an ongoing fee equal to 50% of GUP’s “Net Receipts” from the sale of rights to Blue Seduction.
In February of 2009, this film was delivered to Starz Media for international distribution, to Anchor Bay Entertainment for U.S. distribution, and to The Super Channel for exhibition in Canada. This film was produced with the assistance of Image In Media, who secured the involvement of Starz Media as the foreign distributor. Image In Media received a fee as co-producer and was appointed as the Canadian distributor for Blue Seduction.
The story of
Blue Seduction
centers on a former 80’s rock star who finds himself trapped in the seductive web of a young, sexy vocalist, looking for her own fifteen minutes of fame.
Blue Seduction
stars Billy Zane and Estella Warren and takes you on a ride of trickery, lies, suspense and murder. At the end, the film poses the simple questions; how far would you go to get what you want… and is fifteen minutes of fame worth a lifetime of health and happiness?
American Sunset
This film was produced by GUP in Canada using a combination of Canadian tax incentives, bank financing and investor equity participation. GUP signed a bank financing commitment for a loan of up to $440,000, secured by the Canadian tax credits, plus a personal guarantee from Jacqueline Giroux. The Company provided certain services in obtaining and structuring the financial arrangements for the film, as well as selected intellectual property rights. The Company received $150,000 (Canadian), which was re-invested in the film production as part of GUP’s “Producer’s Investment.” The Company will receive a back-end participation in the upside potential of
American Sunset
by virtue of its equity ownership of 30% of GUP.
As with the Company’s first feature film,
Blue Seduction
, the production strategy of attracting name talent to encourage a wider distribution and thus, a larger viewing clientele continues with Corey Haim and Frank Molina starring in this second motion picture. Mr. Haim unexpectedly passed away in early 2010, after production was completed.
GUP has strategically positioned itself in the market of thriller genre films with the completion of
American Sunset.
Back dropped against rich scenery, the intention of the film is to take the audience on an adventure to a shocking conclusion wherein they discover that the story is quite different from what it first appeared. While vacationing in a foreign country, a husband awakens to find that his wife is missing. He must then follow a series of clues to get her back. With the help of a Private Eye, he embarks on a treasure hunt where the ultimate prize is his wife’s life. A challenging undertaking with over twenty locations, this film has many plot twists, turns, riddles and clues.
American Sunset
stars the late Corey Haim, and Frank Molina.
American Sunset
was showcased for industry buyers and distributors at the American Film Market, held in Santa Monica, California, during November of 2009, and is scheduled to be shown at the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival held in Cannes, France, during May of 2010.
Plaster Rock
The third major motion picture,
Plaster Rock
, produced by GUP in Canada again made use of Canadian and Territorial tax credits to underwrite a significant portion of the costs of production.
The continuing strategy of advantageous use of government tax credits and name talent thereby mitigating financial risks is attracting quality distribution and investment partners.
The completion of
Plaster Rock
strategically positions the Company in the horror genre of films.
This film opens with 4 young women and 4 young men being boated to a hunting lodge in the wilds of northern New Brunswick, Canada, to partake in a cross-country ski race. One by one, they begin to realize that the competition isn’t to win the race; but it’s to stay alive. As they attempt to survive a landscape filled with booby traps and pitfalls, they soon begin to realize that they all have something in common… and that “something” may lead to their demise. An ensemble cast of young actors star in this fast-paced thriller-horror film where it is shockingly obvious from the very beginning, that in the remote wilderness of Northern Canada; you need more than luck to survive.
Filming Plaster Rock in the wilderness at the New Brunswick location near where the actual events of the true story took place adds to the “magic” that we hope the audience will experience when they see this entertaining film.
The Company has established a website located at: www.PlasterRockMovie.com.
The Night
The fourth major motion picture,
The Night
, produced by GUP in Canada again made use of Canadian and Territorial tax credits to underwrite a significant portion of the costs of production.
The continuing strategy of advantageous use of government tax credits and name talent thereby mitigating financial risks is facilitating our ability to attract quality distribution and investment partners.
GUP strategically positions itself in the ghost story/thriller genre of films with the pending completion of
The Night.
This film is currently in post production.
Many years have passed since the disappearance of a child, but the child’s spirit returns to exact revenge upon those who aided in his untimely demise. The dark secrets of the past surface, and we see characters caught in a web of fear as they cannot escape their past mistakes. With each sunset, they are a step closer to becoming a victim themselves.
Other Films Planned
The Company has recently optioned the book
Mr. Pink
by Chas Allen written about the true story of four college students who planned and carried out the heist of millions of dollars worth of extraordinarily rare books from a research library in Kentucky. They were eventually caught through a misstep and are all presently serving time in a State penitentiary.
The story and screenplay, adapted by Jackie Giroux, features college aged protagonists whose daring, albeit illegal, exploits may be found to be exciting to movie-going audiences. The Company has begun preliminary conversations with two major studios/distributors who have expressed an interest in the project. Since these conversations are in a preliminary stage it is not possible to gauge their outcome at this time.
In addition, the Company has received permission from the screenwriter of an original screenplay,
Harts Location
, the production of which is to star Bruce Dern, Laura Dern, and Diane Ladd, to produce a motion picture based on the screenplay. A budget has been prepared that projects the production could be completed for $4 million, if shot in New Mexico or another state where a tax incentive program would provide an incentive of approximately $1 million in cash as a result of the production taking place within the State. The Company is presently seeking production capital to finance the production of the picture.
The Final Reel
, created by Jeffrey Reddick who also created
Final Destination
series of films, which have realized over $450 Million in gross revenues from the sequels plus merchandising, is of special interest to the Company, because it could be the first film to offer merchandising rights from games. Two foreign distributors have offered to assist in the financing of this film, as casting is underway to bring in an actor such as Christopher Walken, to star. Adriene Barbeau and Saffron Burrows have already expressed interest in co-staring in two of the female roles.
Gillian And Giles
, a Canadian film, which the Company assisted in preparing the financing plan and generated a strong interest from female star Catherine Deneuve to play the female lead. In addition, the Company is planning to distribute the picture, once funding is completed and the film is completed.
The Company has several other films in the planning stage that it intends to produce as “Co-Production” films, either in combination with a distribution company or in partnership with an investor or another production company. These films will be produced with government incentives from Canada and one or more additional production company partners. (See “Significant Events Related to Film Financing” below.) GUE plans to continue its market driven slate of films by developing and financing the following projects:
Western Wind,
a thriller with supernatural elements set in the Old West:
Seeing Things
, a thriller based upon the true events from one of America’s most famous haunted houses.
In October 2009, the Company formed a partnership with Arthur Wylie to co-produce films, initially focusing on “Flyy Girl” and “
Leslie”
, two films based upon the novels by bestselling author Omar Tyree. The screenplay rights to these films are owned by our Joint Venture partner, Global Renaissance Entertainment Group.
Additionally, the Company may enter into one or more Co-Production Treaty arrangements for the production of films. For example, a Canadian-French or Canadian-U.K. co-production would entail both Canada, France or the U.K. investing Government monies or tax incentives totaling approximately 50% plus of each film’s budget. For making this investment, Canada, France or the U.K. would retain ownership rights to the film in their respective countries; however, they will not participate in revenues via any sales in the rest of the world, including the U.S. The contracts issued from each Country are endorsed by the Government and fully bankable. Therefore, the Company would have the option of discounting the contract with a financial institution and utilizing each sale for production funds, or hold onto the contract to be paid 100% of the 50% of the budget at the completion of each film. With 50% plus of the budget expenses underwritten by such incentives, the producer and investor are more likely to realize a profit.
Global Universal’s per film budget is expected to range between a low of roughly $3 to $5 million (if no advertising and delivery items are included) and up to approximately $7 to $10 million, with approximately 35% to 50% of each budget underwritten by the respective country’s investment incentives (e.g., U.S. State incentives, Canada, U.K, France, Germany, Ireland, etc.). All financing fees, marketing and advertising costs, completion bond fees and a contingency reserve will be included in the average film budget.
On a “straight to video” release, the Company estimates that the net bottom-line from worldwide television will range from an estimated low of $500,000 to as much as $3 million. The Company’s investment in each film will be structured to provide strong downside risk protection while simultaneously offering an uncapped upside potential, either thru video releases that over perform or through theatrically released titles.
Recent examples of pictures which were produced utilizing these types of government incentives include
CABIN FEVER, HOSTEL, SAW, OPEN WATER, WRONG TURN
, and
SWIMFAN
. (Lions Gate released the first 4 films; Twentieth Century Fox released the last 2 films).
GLOBAL UNIVERSAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
The Company plans to concentrate more of its production activity in the U.S. through this subsidiary due in part to significant financing advantages brought about by the re-signing of the IRS tax code, Section 181 in December 2010, which provides for the write-off of 100% of the investment in such ventures as motion pictures.
FINANCING STRATEGY
The Company is currently discussion with a number of distribution companies and is exploring a strategic alliance with a strong financial partner to provide a credit facility of an amount to be determined. It is intended that such a financial partner will release funds on an “as needed” basis to produce a planned slate of six or more films, with distribution for each film in place, in advance, by the selected distribution company. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in its endeavors to consummate an agreement with any distribution company, or to secure a credit facility to support production of the Company’s planned films.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS RELATED TO FILM FINANCING
In October of 2009, the Company and Arthur Wylie Enterprises, Inc. (AWE) announced the formation of Global Renaissance Funding, LLC. (“GRF”), a joint venture entity organized by the Company for the purpose of financing the production of a slate of feature-length films developed by the Company and Global Renaissance Entertainment Group, Inc. (“GREG”). GRF is 51% owned by the Company and 49% owned by GREG. GREG was recently formed by Arthur Wylie and Omar Tyree, the New York Times bestselling author, and holds the film rights for a significant number of Mr. Tyree’s novels, such as Leslie, Flyy Girl, etc.
Mr. Wylie and Mr. Tyree have structured an exclusive opportunity to adapt his popular novels into motion pictures.
Leslie
, a supernatural thriller set in New Orleans, is the first of Mr. Tyree’s novels that will be financed by GRF and produced by GREG and one of the Company’s subsidiaries as a co-production. The Company is hopeful that GRF will raise sufficient capital to finance the production of up to five feature films through a proposed offering.
The Company is planning to develop similar strategies with other companies or joint venture arrangements in the financing and production of its films. Other co-productions being explored may include:
Gillian And Giles
. A film which would be produced in Canada with the assistance of the Canadian tax credits plus Telefilm. GBHL would contribute the casting of viable star names for sales, plus the distribution of sales.
The Final Reel
. A film which would be produced (from the book of the same title) in the United States, utilizing State Tax incentives in a partnership with high net worth investors who wish to take advantage of the re-enacted IRC Section 181 tax benefits, plus limited pre-sales sufficient to finalize the funding through GBHL’s contacts in distribution.
Mr. Pink
. A film which would be produced (from the book of the same title) in the United States, utilizing State Tax incentives in a partnership with high net worth investors who wish to take advantage of the re-enacted IRC Section 181 tax benefits, plus limited pre-sales sufficient to finalize the funding through GBHL’s contacts in distribution.
Hart's Location
. A film which would be produced (from the book of the same title) in the United States, utilizing State Tax incentives in a partnership with high net worth investors who wish to take advantage of the re-enacted IRC Section 181 tax benefits, plus limited pre-sales sufficient to finalize the funding through GBHL’s contacts in distribution.
LOW BUDGET GENRE PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTION
Genre pictures allow for production at low budget levels for two basic reasons. First, these types of pictures are sold and marketed on the basis of concept rather than cast. Costs associated with “named stars” are not required. Second, these genres allow for inexpensive settings, shorter filming schedules with less expensive casts in more controlled environments, significantly lowering production costs.
These film productions may utilize completion bonds. These bonds are a form of insurance against unanticipated and unapproved cost overruns, as well as unforeseen events such as illness, natural disasters, etc. This insurance will protect the production against over-budget costs. The cost of a completion bond is included in the budget and generally costs between 3% and 4% of budget of the film.
Most major video distribution companies have unused capacity and a desire to distribute third party films to add to their own internally produced product. Third party product can often be distributed less expensively since it does not have to incorporate a studio’s overhead or involve using studio facilities. Such products also require less studio management oversight during production. The worldwide home video market plus cable television, continues to show strong demand, particularly in the Company’s targeted film genres, which include “edgy” thrillers and “specialty” pictures.
The Company owns the rights “in house” to TWELVE screenplays, which it intends to produce as films. Therefore, the Company is able to by-pass the script optioning process for these films, avoiding rights and development fees which can be a financial burden to the Company. The option and the development of screenplays can be a costly and time-consuming process. Such proprietary ownership significantly reduces development costs and the time necessary to move from development to production.
The films the Company produces will eventually become part of the Company’s film library. The Company holds a small library of films, which it obtained when it acquired Global Universal Film Group, Inc. (“GUFG”), a company owned by Gary Rasmussen (our CEO) and Jackelyn Giroux (President of GUFG and GUP in Canada).
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. Therefore, the Company can 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 will also be derived from new sources such as cell phones, iPods, video on demand, Internet broadcasts etc.
MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Background
The motion picture industry consists of two principal activities: production, which involves the development and production of motion pictures; and distribution, which involves the promotion and exploitation of feature-length motion pictures in a variety of media, including theatrical exhibition, home video, television and other ancillary markets, including airlines, cruise ships and new technology platforms such as video-on-demand, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Motion Picture Production
The production of motion pictures occur in four distinct stages prior to initial release: development, pre-production, principal photography and post-production. The creation of a motion picture begins with the development of an original screenplay by a writer, the screenplay adaptation of a novel, other literary or dramatic work. Once the screenplay material is identified, the production process begins.
The development stage includes acquiring the material in question, writing the screenplay and obtaining commitments from key talent such as the director, principal cast members and other creative personnel.
The pre-production stage includes securing the necessary production facilities and personnel, finalizing the motion picture budget and production schedule, selecting filming locations and the building, if necessary, of required sets. The production stage essentially is the period of principal photography.
The post-production stage includes the picture editing, the creation of special visual and optical effects, if necessary, the composition and recording of the musical score, the sound editing, and synchronization of dialogue, sound effects, the musical score and the “final cut” of the picture. The “final cut” then results in the production of a negative from which release prints and/or a video master are created.
Motion Picture Distribution
The distribution of a motion picture involves the licensing of the motion picture for exploitation in various markets both domestically and internationally. Timing patterns of distribution, commonly referred to as “windows”, are calculated to ensure that a film is released during what are believed to be optimal market conditions.
Distribution of a motion picture involves commercial exploitation in the U.S. and international markets including theatrical exhibition, home video distribution (DVDs, videocassettes, etc.), television exhibition (including pay-per-view, pay, network, syndication and basic cable), merchandising and other ancillary rights in the motion picture (such as books, soundtracks, and video games) and “non-theatrical exhibition” (such as airlines, cruise ships, hotels and armed forces facilities).
Films may be released initially into the theatrical exhibition market or, as has become more prominent recently, initially into the video distribution market. Following these releases, films are then released into the pay television market, and then followed by the free television market (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX etc.).
The initial theatrical, home video, pay-per-view, pay television, and free television, including network, syndication and basic cable, comprise what is typically referred to as the first distribution “cycle”. While a substantial portion of a motion picture’s total revenues are generated during the first “cycle”, significant revenues can be generating in succeeding “cycles.” For example, re-pricing and re-packaging of video releases and re-licensing of television exhibitions. Some motion pictures may generate revenues from the creation of derivative works such as remakes, sequels, and spin-offs.
Theatrical Exhibition Market
The theatrical exhibition of motion pictures entails the promotion and release of the film in theatres. The theatrical distribution of a motion picture, both in the U.S. and internationally, involves the licensing and booking of the film to theatrical exhibitors (movie theatres), the advertising and publicity campaigns to support the release and the manufacture of release prints from the film negative. The distributor and the exhibitor typically enter into an agreement to determine the payment arrangements from the box-office to the distributor, generally as a percentage of gross box office receipts. This percentage is referred to as the “rental” rate, which is typically within the range of 35% to 60%. These “rental” rates vary among countries.
Releasing costs include advertising campaigns, trailers, publicity campaigns, print advertising, and other forms of promotional media, including the Internet.
Home Video Distribution
The film’s distributor sells, in most cases, DVDs and cassettes to local, regional and national video wholesalers and retailers, which then sell and/or rent these DVDs and cassettes to consumers. There remain some revenue sharing agreements, though this business has been declining, whereby the wholesaler or retailer purchases the DVDs and cassettes at reduced prices in return for which the distributor shares in the rental income. Certain mass merchants, including Wal-Mart and Target, occupy a significant and important retail position in the DVD and cassette sale market.
Television Distribution
Television rights to motion pictures are generally licensed first to pay-per-view television following initial video release, then to pay television, and thereafter to free television such as network, syndication and basic cable for an exhibition period, and then, in many cases, back to pay television again. In addition, many films are licensed for subsequent “cycles” of pay and free television exhibitions.
Pay-per-view allows subscribers to pay for individual programs. Pay television allows cable and satellite subscribers to view such services as HBO, Showtime, Starz/Encore, Canal+, BSkyB, Premiere, JSB and other services for a monthly subscription fee.
Basic cable networks and local broadcast stations may purchase exhibition rights for a specified number of telecasts over a specific license period.
Non-Theatrical and Ancillary Rights Distribution
Motion pictures may be licensed for “non-theatrical” use by outlets such as airlines, ships, oilrigs, schools, public libraries and government groups such as the armed forces.
We anticipate incurring operating losses over the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history 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 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.
Ite
m 1A.
Risk Factors That May Affect Our Results of Operation
We have a limited operating history and have experienced losses from inception until very recently.
We have generated a Loss for the year end December 31, 2010
We have a limited operating history having commenced operations as Global Entertainment Holdings in late December, 2007. As a motion picture company since that date, we have incurred losses in every quarter since inception including the recent year ending December 31, 2010. We continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties usually encountered by early stage companies. Our focus on Motion Picture production adds additional risks to our business activities.
We will require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy of producing films and our inability to obtain additional financing could cause us to cease our business operations.
We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or sale of equity to achieve our current business strategy with respect to the production of feature-length films. Such financing may not be available when needed. Even if such financing is available, it may be on terms that are materially adverse to our shareholders’ interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our capital requirements to implement our business strategy will be significant. However, at this time, we can not determine the amount of additional funding necessary to implement such plan. We intend to assess such amount at the time we will implement our business plan. Furthermore, we intend to effect future acquisitions with cash and the issuance of debt and equity securities. The cost of anticipated acquisitions may require us to seek additional financing. We anticipate requiring additional funds in order to fully implement our business plan to significantly expand our operations. We may not be able to obtain financing if and when it is needed on terms we deem acceptable. Our inability to obtain financing would have a material negative effect on our ability to implement our acquisition strategy, and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our acquisition strategy.
If we are unable to obtain financing or to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain film projects. In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a material negative effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put an investment in our Company at significant risk.
We have historically had losses from operations and such losses may continue in the future, which may force us to curtail operations.
Since our inception we have not been profitable, and have lost money on both a cash and non-cash basis. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a net loss of $235,063. Our accumulated deficit at the end of December 31, 2010, was $12,025,719. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems. If our losses continue, our ability to operate may be severely impacted or alternatively we may be forced to terminate our operations.
We could fail to attract or retain key personnel, which could be detrimental to our operations.
Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of our Officers and Directors. The loss of their services at this point in our development could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find successors. Additionally, we are dependant upon the services of the officers of our subsidiary and affiliate companies, Global Universal Film Group, Global Universal Entertainment and Global Universal Pictures. We do not have other key employees who could manage Global Universal’s film operations. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources, we may not be able to attract a sufficient number and quality of personnel, when required.
Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a substantial and liquid market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
·
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
·
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
|
·
|
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
|
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
It is likely that additional shares of our stock will be issued in the normal course of our business development, which will result in a dilutive effect on our existing shareholders
We will issue additional stock as required to raise working capital in order to undertake Company acquisitions, recruit and retain an effective management team, compensate our officers and directors, engage industry consultants and for other business development activities and to pay expenses. Such issuances will have a dilutive effect on existing shareholders.
If we acquire, invest in, or make alliances with other businesses we face risks inherent in such transactions
We cannot make assurances that alliances or ventures will be consummated in a timely manner. Failure to meet such objectives could have a negative effect on revenues.
Shareholders controlled by current management own a controlling interest in the Company’s voting stock and investors may not have any voice in the management of the Company.
In connection with the acquisition of a majority of our common stock by Rochester Capital Partners (RCP), RCP now holds greater than 51% of our outstanding shares of common stock, plus an additional, estimated 9.2% that may be acquired by conversion of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”). Gary Rasmussen, our CEO, is the General Partner of RCP and exercises sole voting control over its shares. In addition, Mr. Rasmussen directly holds 3.5 million shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”), which contains anti-dilution provisions, and is convertible at any time into 35% of our common stock, computed immediately after such conversion. The Series C has voting rights equal to the number of shares that would be realized if converted. Additionally, Jacqueline Giroux, a founder of Global Universal Film Group and President of our 30% owned, affiliated company, Global Universal Pictures, directly holds 2.5 million shares of Series B, convertible into a like number of common shares, which would result in her ownership of approximately 10% of our common stock. The Series B has no voting rights. Also, Ms. Giroux holds 3 million shares of our Series C, convertible at any time into 30% of our then outstanding common stock.
Thus, these two stockholders, acting together, control over 85% of the voting rights of the Company and will have the absolute ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:
|
·
|
election of our board of directors;
|
|
·
|
removal of any of our directors;
|
|
·
|
amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and
|
|
·
|
adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or any other business combination involving the Company and its subsidiaries.
|
Risk Factors Associated with the Film Production Industry
Competition from providers of similar products and services could materially adversely affect our revenues and financial condition.
The industry in which we compete is a rapidly evolving, highly competitive and fragmented market, which is based on consumer preferences and requires substantial human and capital resources. We expect competition to intensify in the future due to an exponential growth in computer generated graphics used in film production. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively. We believe that the main competitive factors in the film industry include access to capital, efficient distribution channels and effective marketing and sales of the film, and its ancillary rights. Many of our competitors are well established, profitable and have strong management and access to capital. We may be perceived as relatively too small or untested to be awarded capital and other business resources relative to the competition. Failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
The speculative nature of the film production industry may result in our inability to produce film content or services that receive sufficient market acceptance for us to be successful.
Certain aspects of the film production industry are highly speculative and historically have involved a substantial degree of risk. For example, the success of a particular film depends largely upon unpredictable and changing factors, including the public’s acceptance or appreciation, the success of marketing efforts, the availability of competing films, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Item 1B.
Unresolved Staff Comments
On January 10, 2011, the Company received a comment letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), dated November 22, 2010, relating to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010. The Company believes it has adequately responded to the SEC comments in this filing, but the SEC Staff has reserved the right to make further comments upon receipt of the Company's response.

m 3. Legal Proceedings
In connection with the former business operations of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, LitFunding USA, Inc., was named a defendant in several matters in litigation, many of which were in the normal course of business, including litigation for payment of consulting and professional fees. The corporate business unit conducting the operations, LitFunding USA, was sold by the Company in March of 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, all claims and related matters were assumed by the purchaser.

2006 Non-Qualified Stock Compensation Plans
Effective February 22, 2006, we adopted the “
2006 Non-Qualified Stock Compensation Plan
.”
The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the plan is 600,000 shares. As of December 31, 2009, a total of 600,000 shares had been issued under this plan.
Effective September 29, 2006, we adopted the “
2006-B Non-Qualified Stock Compensation Plan.”
The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the plan is 600,000 shares. As of December 31, 2009, a total of 600,000 shares had been issued under this plan.
Officers (including officers who are members of the board of directors), directors (other than members of the stock option committee to be established to administer the stock option plans) and other employees and consultants and its subsidiaries (if established) will be eligible to receive options under the stock option plans. The committee will administer the stock option plans and will determine those persons to whom options will be granted, the number of options to be granted, the provisions applicable to each grant and the time periods during which the options may be exercised. No options may be granted more than ten years after the date of the adoption of the stock option plans.
Non-qualified stock options will be granted by the committee with an option price equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock to which the non-qualified stock option relates on the date of grant. The committee may, in its discretion, determine to price the non-qualified option at a different price. In no event may the option price with respect to an incentive stock option granted under the stock option plans be less than the fair market value of such common stock to which the incentive stock option relates on the date the incentive stock option is granted.
Each option granted under the stock option plans will be exercisable for a term of not more than ten years after the date of grant. Certain other restrictions will apply in connection with the plans when some awards may be exercised. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the stock option plans), the date on which all options outstanding under the stock option plans may first be exercised will be accelerated. Generally, all options terminate 90 days after a change of control.
The table below sets forth information as of December 31, 2010 regarding outstanding options granted under the plans, warrants issued to consultants and options reserved for future grant under the plan.

Revenue
: Total revenue was $68,812 and $0 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our increase in revenue of $68,812 is a direct result of collections on a receivable offset by deferred revenue. We cannot guarantee with any certainty when we will generate revenue sufficient to fund ongoing operations. Our future revenues will be reliant upon our ability to produce and market film and entertainment products.

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $102,356 from the year ended December 31, 2009, because of the write down of Intangible Assets of $131,856 including cost cutting procedures that management implemented.

Our net loss was approximately 28.3% higher in the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, because we experienced our first revenues of $68,812, and increased our G & A expenses due to the write down of Intangible Assets of $131,856. A substantial portion of our accrued payroll expense was reduced as a result of our executive officers agreeing to waive any accrual of their yearly salaries.
Operation Plan
Global Entertainment Holdings, operating through its wholly owned subsidiaries of Global Universal Entertainment and Global Universal Film Group, and its 30% owned, Canadian affiliate, Global Universal Pictures (collectively, these entities are sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Global Universal”), is a development stage company engaged in the development and production of low-budget genre pictures. The Company’s management believes investment risk in such films can be significantly reduced by utilizing Canadian, U.S. and other major countries governmental and territorial tax incentives to cover up to 40%, or more, of each film’s budget. Additional coverage of about 25%, or more, of a film’s budget can be derived from distributor financing, or pre-selling either foreign or U.S. rights to a film. The balance of each film’s budgeted cost will be obtained from private investment of debt, equity or “gap” financing, or a combination of such items. To date, the Company, through its affiliates, has produced four films utilizing this financing model. In order for the Company to achieve meaningful revenues, its films must cross over into a national or international distribution release. If this occurs, the Company will achieve revenues generated from a significant on-going equity percentage of each film produced.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash on hand of $31,332, as of December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, our available funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. We will, however, need to raise funds to continue to implement our business plan. We plan to raise these funds through private and institutional debt or equity offerings, including interest bearing convertible debentures. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing.
Auditor’s ‘Going Concern’ Opinion
The Independent Auditor’s Report issued in connection with the audited financial statements of the Company for the calendar years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009, expresses “substantial doubt about [our] ability to continue as a going concern,” due to the Company’s lack of historical profitable operations, our working capital deficit, and our retained earnings deficit. The Company has not had a profitable operating history, and we have limited current sources of revenue. We cannot guarantee that we will become profitable.
Current Working Capital
We are subject to a working capital deficit, which means that our current assets on December 31, 2010, were not sufficient to satisfy our current liabilities and, therefore, our ability to continue operations is at risk. We had a working capital deficit for the year ended December 31, 2010, which means that our current liabilities exceeded current assets on December 31, 2010, by $377,267. Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficit means that our current assets on December 31, 2010, were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities on December 31, 2010. If our ongoing operations do not begin to provide sufficient profitability to offset the working capital deficit, we may have to raise capital or debt to fund the deficit or curtail future operations.
Summary of Product and Research & 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 that may require it.
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, nor are they anticipated to be needed within the next twelve months.
Significant Changes in the Number of Employees
We currently employ 4 full time employees. In the event that we are successful in generating revenues and expanding our present operations in the film production business, we will need to hire additional employees or independent contractors in the future.
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors
Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets Of Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conduct our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Company has not generated significant revenues or profits to date. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to conduct its operations and its ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and its cash flows for year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Summary of Accounting Policies
Footnote
After discussion with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company acquiesced to the Staff’s position that $450,000 in revenue realized from license fees of film rights should have been deferred into subsequent periods, not fee revenue in the current period. Additionally, the Company’s executive management performed an impairment analysis of the film, scripts and movie rights which is reflected in a write down of the intangible asset account of $131,856 and a corresponding increase in the General and Administrative expense account.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. At times cash deposits may exceed government insured limits. At December 31, 2010, there were no cash deposits that exceeded those insured limits.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, California LitFunding, Global Universal Entertainment Inc., Global Universal Film Group, Inc. and its wholly owned LLC's and a dormant company, E. Evolution Expeditions whose name was changed to Silver Dollar Productions on January 21, 2005. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.
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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $8,061 and $8,279 respectively.
The Intangible Assets consist of The Book Rights, TV Game/Reality Show, Film Rights and Movies 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., purchased the majority of the Books, TV and Movie Rights in January, 2006, for approximately $160,000. The total as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively is $580,374 and $230,855.
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.
Executives of the Company did a review and cash flow analysis of all the Intangible Assets as of December 31, 2010, the results of that analysis was a net reduction in Intangible Assets of $131,856 from $712,230 to $580,374.

During the year 2007 the Company had expenditures of $6,000 for Global Universal film Group Inc. our subsidiary for the development of its website. Software purchased will be amortized over a period of three years straight-line basis. The amortization began in the year 2008.. The amortized amount for the years 2010 and 2009 was $2,000. for each year respectively. As of December 31, 2010 the full $6,000 has been amortized.
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. In fiscal 2009, the Company realized revenue from the sale of story/screenplay rights and, in the last quarter of 2010, the Company realized its first revenue from the sale of film rights.
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:
|
·
|
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
|
·
|
The products or services have been delivered; for feature film content products (DVDs, Blue-ray Discs, etc.) released or sold by our Global Universal Film Group subsidiary, we believe this condition is met when the film product is complete and, in accordance with the terms of our contractual arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional sales and/or delivery;
|
|
·
|
The license or sales period has begun;
|
|
·
|
Collection of the arrangement fee or selling commission is fixed or determinable and reasonably assured.
|
Deferred Revenue
On September 22, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with its Canadian affiliate, Global Universal Pictures, Inc. (“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 for the Film and Mr. Gary Rasmussen, the Company's CEO, as Executive Producer.
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 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 $150,000 fee has been recorded as deferred revenue and will be amortized as a percentage of the net receipts from the sale of the film rights.
At December 31,2010 and December 31, 2009 Deferred Revenue was $537,450 and $150,000 respectively.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which, among other things, requires that recognition of deferred income taxes be measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of financial statements. The company is a cash basis taxpayer.
Tax Credits
The grant for $20 million in pre-authorized tax credits from the Louisiana Department of Economic Development can be applied towards 30% (formerly 25%) of the total production costs, plus 5% (formerly 10%) of any Louisiana labor expense and an additional 5% for costs incurred in selected territories (e.g., the City of New Orleans), of the budgets of the seven films that Global Universal intended to produce with the financing from PGH. PGH failed to provide the financing. At the end of production of each film, an audit must be conducted to ascertain the exact amount spent on the film within the State of Louisiana. The State will then issue an appropriate final tax credit for amounts spent on production of films.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, contingent advances, and obligations under accounts payable, accrued expenses, debentures, notes payable and investor participation obligations. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the Company's contingent advances approximate fair value because the Company provides allowances for any estimated uncollectible amounts. The carrying value of debentures and notes payable approximate fair value because they contain market value interest rates and have specified repayment terms. The participation obligations at December 31, 2007 are carried at the expected repayment amounts as determined by the individual notes. The Company has applied certain assumptions in estimating these fair values. The use of different assumptions or methodologies may have a material effect on the estimates of fair values.
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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in connection with the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include the carrying value of accounts receivable and contingent advances.
Stock-based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) as of December 31, 2005. Stock issued for services totaled $1,500 and $32,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In 2005, the Company accounted for its employee stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with provision of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “
Accounting for stock Issued to Employees”,
and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense under fixed plans is recorded only if the market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant exceeds the exercise price. The Company recognized compensation expense for stock options, common stock and other equity instruments issued to non-employees for services received based upon the fair value of the equity instruments issued as the services are provided and the securities earned.
The Company accounted for stock-based compensation associated with the re-pricing of employee stock options in accordance with the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 44, “
Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”
(“FIN 44”). For accounting purposes, the re-pricing of existing stock options requires variable accounting for the new options granted from the date of modification. Variable accounting requires that the intrinsic value, being the excess of the current market price at the end of each reporting period in excess of the exercise price of the re-priced options, be expensed as non-cash stock-based compensation expense until such time as the re-priced options are exercised, expire or are otherwise forfeited. Any increase in the intrinsic value of the re-priced options will decrease reported earnings, and any subsequent decreases in value will increase reported earnings.
SFAS No. 123, “
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
”, requires the continued application of APB Opinion No. 25 for transactions with employees to provide pro forma net earnings (loss) and pro forma earnings (loss) per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS 123 has been applied to these transactions.
The following table represents the effect on net (loss) and (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123:

|
|
|
As required, the pro forma disclosures above include options granted during each fiscal year. Consequently, the effects of applying SFAS No. 123 for providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years until all options outstanding are included in the pro forma disclosures.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the assets' net carrying value. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets.
Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”) which supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of changes in accounting principle. The statement requires the retroactive application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or the change in an accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 154 will have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 6 - Going Concern
The Company has historically suffered significant losses since inception and has only recently achieved profitable operations. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to operate profitably. Unless significant additional cash flows come into the Company, the Company could be in jeopardy of continuing operations. The Company seeks to generate needed funds to continue on going operations from the sale of film rights, for which it acts as a selling agent or receives a participation in profits, joint ventures, the sale of Company stock through a Private Placement and/or advances from the primary shareholder.
Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
As discussed in Note 1, the Company entered into a merger agreement in January 2003, whereby
759,225
shares of its common stock were issued in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of California LitFunding. The acquisition was a reverse acquisition of the Company by California LitFunding, under the purchase method of accounting, and was treated as a recapitalization with California LitFunding as the acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements have been restated after giving effect to the January 23, 2003, acquisition of the Company.
In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company declared and issued an 11-for-10 stock dividend. As a result, a total of 1,042,501 shares were issued. The trading value of the shares on the declaration date of November 1, 2004, was $0.70. The aggregate value of the new shares issued of $729,751 was reclassified from the accumulated deficit to additional paid-in capital.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 99,195 shares of its $.001 par value common stock for cash totaling $406,700. Additionally, the Company issued 130,000 shares of its common stock to certain unrelated qualified investors in exchange for $533,000 of stock subscriptions. These subscriptions were due on or before December 31, 2005. The Company does not have reasonable expectation that these notes will be paid. At of December 31, 2005, $35,000 had been paid, and the Company wrote off $498,000 to bad debt.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Additionally, 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.

Pursuant to the reverse tri-party merger with Global Universal Film Group, Inc. (GUFG), we issued a total of 1,500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the stockholder’s of GUFG. Mr. Rasmussen, our current CEO, owned 50% of the shares of GUFG and also received 750,000 Series B Shares in the merger. Ms. Jacqueline Giroux, President of GUFG, received 750,000 shares.

The rights and preferences of the Series B shares are as follows:
Dividend Provisions
The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any dividends on the Preferred Stock.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of series of preferred stock that may from time to time come into existence, the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) $0.001 for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Original Series B Issue Price”) and (ii) an amount equal to the Original Series B Issue Price for each twelve (12) months that has passed since the date of issuance of any Series B Preferred Stock.
Spin-off Rights
At the election of a majority in interest of the Series B Preferred Stock, GUFG shall be spun off to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, with 90% of such shares in GUFG being issued, pro rata to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, and 10% being issued and distributed to the shareholders of the Company in common stock on a pro-rata basis. This provision was eliminated entirely with the filing of an amendment to the designation of rights and preferences of our Series B Preferred with the State of Nevada on December 6, 2007.
Conversion
Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the election of the holder, into one (1) share of the Company’s common stock on such date as the majority shareholders of all Series B have elected to effect the Spin-Off transaction; however, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock of the Company after twelve (12) months from the date of LitFunding’s acquisition of GUFG, regardless of whether or not an election has been made to spin-off GUFG. This provision was amended with the filing of an amendment to the designation of rights and preferences of our Series B Preferred with the State of Nevada on December 6, 2007. The conversion into common stock may be made at anytime, without conditions, by the holders of the Series B Preferred stock.
Voting Rights

On April 4, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation relating to its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State. On November 8, 2008, the Board approved an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of the Series C, which provided for 6,500,000 shares authorized, converting into 65% of the outstanding common stock at the time of conversion, to correct an error in the original filing.

In turn, a judgment was entered against the Company in Clark County, Nevada District Court for attorneys’ fees, in the amount of $30,000, incurred in connection with the obtaining of these judgments. The Company believes that these judgments are uncollectible and that all such judgments and other receivables, as well as all liabilities, were assumed by the Purchaser of LitFunding USA, Inc. in March of 2008.
Note 9- Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Options/Warrants to purchase 1,720,675 and 530,675 common shares were not considered in the calculation for diluted earnings per share for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009
respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the control number used in determining the dilutive effect of warrants and options is based on operating income. Therefore, because the Company experienced a net operating loss as of
December 31, 2010
, the effect of their inclusion based would be anti-dilutive and hence, were not included.

Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On November 22, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission notified the Company that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) had revoked the registration of Larry O’Donnell, CPA, P.C. (“O’Donnell”), it’s former independent accountants. However, the SEC’s notification letter was not received by the Company until January 10, 2011.
As O’Donnell was no longer registered with the PCAOB, the Company could not include its audit reports or consents in future filings with the SEC. The Company had previously dismissed O’Donnell as its independent accountant on October 26, 2010. O’Donnell’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 and 2009 were qualified noting the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The reports contained no other adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements with the former accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or activity scope or proceeding during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period though the date of dismissal.
The Company engaged the accounting firm of Malcolm Pollard, Inc. to review its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, to re-audit the Company’s financial statements for the 2009 fiscal year, and to audit its financial statements for the 2010 fiscal year. The audit report related to these financial statements and consent of Malcolm Pollard, Inc. is included in this filing.

8A. Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of Gary Rasmussen, our current Chief Executive Officer, and Stanley Weiner, our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2008, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Rasmussen and Weiner have concluded that as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, and after taking inot consideration the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management has abandoned its former business model in March of 2008, and does not, therefore, believe that its current business, after taking into consideration its current controls and procedures could result in a reoccurrence of the material weaknesses which occurred with respect to the 2007 financial statements.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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, but are not limited to, 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 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 goal under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in internal controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and representations from our executive officers and directors, we have found that, as of the date of this filing, some of the required filings have not been timely filed. We are processing the appropriate documents to bring this reporting requirement current.
Audit Committee and Financial Expert
We do not have an Audit Committee. Our directors perform some of the same functions of an Audit Committee such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
Other than Mr. Weiner, our CFO, and Mr. Gabby, our Controller, we have no additional financial experts. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time would be prohibitive and an unnecessary strain on our limited financial resources. Further, because of the limited nature of our operations to date, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Code of Ethics
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
|
|
(1)
|
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
|
|
|
(2)
|
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer;
|
|
|
(3)
|
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
|
|
|
(4)
|
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
|
|
|
(5)
|
Accountability for adherence to the code.
|
We have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
The decision to refrain from adopting a code of ethics resulted from having a limited number of officers and directors operating the Company whereby possible ethics code violations would be reported directly to the party generating the violation.
Nominating Committee
We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our board of directors performs the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that we are a development stage company with limited operations and resources.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Gary Rasmussen
Mr. Rasmussen has not yet entered into a written employment agreement with the Company. However, the Board of Directors authorized compensation and benefits for him that are commensurate with those provided to his predecessor, Morton Reed. Therefore, the Company had accrued a salary base of $252,000 per annum. No portion of this salary was paid and Mr. Rasmussen elected to waive all accrued salary for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. At a meeting of the Board on November 8, 2008, Mr. Rasmussen officially reduced his salary to $10,000, per month, with the provision that his salary be accrued until such time as the Company has attained sufficient capital. Further, Mr. Rasmussen has waived all of his salary previously accrued through March 31, 2010. Mr. Rasmussen has not received any salary for his services to the Company from inception of his employment as CEO through March 31, 2010.
Terry Gabby
Mr. Gabby entered in to an employment agreement effective June 29, 2005, to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer with an annual salary of $55,000. Mr. Gabby received 1,000 options at $4.10 per share expiring on July 1, 2007. These options were vested at the date of grant. Mr. Gabby received 5,000 options in November 2006 exercisable at $0.40 per share and will expire on November 21, 2009. In November 2006 Mr. Gabby received 5,000 warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and will expire on November 27, 2009. The fair value of these options and warrants is calculated to be $4,425. In August 2007 Mr. Gabby received 25,000 options exercisable at $0.80 per share and will expire on August 30, 2009. The fair value of these options is calculated to be $19,500. In October 2010 Mr. Gabby received 100,000 options exercisable at $0.05 per share and will expire on October 31,2011.The fair value of these options are calculated to be $2,000.
Daniel Sherkow
Mr. Sherkow entered in to a two-year employment agreement with the Company's subsidiary, Global Universal Entertainment, effective February 15, 2010, to serve as the Chief Operating Officer of that subsidiary. The employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $250,000, which is subject to adjustment at the discretion of the Board and to other limitations and offsets as provided for therein, and shall not commence until the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that it has sufficient operating funds to pay his salary. Additionally, Mr. Sherkow received a signing bonus of 100,000 shares, and received a stock option entitling him to acquire up to 240,000 shares of our common stock, which vests at the rate of 30,000 shares for each quarter he is employed. This employment agreement was modified by the Board on October 29, 2010, to provide Mr. Sherkow an additional stock incentive of 50,000 shares for each month remaining under the employment agreement. The folowing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete agreement filed as exhibit 10.35 to our 2010 first quarterly report, filed on Form 10-Q.

11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners & Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock on March 31, 2011, held by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors and executive officers.
On March 31, 2011, we had a total of 23,817,844 shares of common stock (24,317,844 shares including options exercisable within 60 days to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock), 3,990,134 shares of our Series B, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”), and 6,500,000 shares of our Series C, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) issued and outstanding.
Each share of Series B stock is presently convertible into one share of common stock. The Percentage of Beneficial Ownership table below assumes the conversion of the Series B shares into 3,990,134 shares of common stock, the exercise of options into 500,000 shares of common stock for a total of 28,307,978 shares of common stock then outstanding.
The 6,500,000 shares of Series C stock outstanding are, in the aggregate, convertible into 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, calculated immediately following such conversion. Each share of Series C stock is convertible, at anytime, into a pro-rata percentage (of 65%) of the total common stock outstanding upon conversion. In addition, each share of Series C stock carries voting rights equal to that number of shares of common stock that would result from the conversion of each share of Series C stock. The two far right columns of the Percentage of Beneficial Ownership table
does not
assume the conversion of the Series C shares into common stock, but states only the amount of shares held, by whom and the percentage held of that Class. Assuming that all Series B stock was converted into 3,990134 shares of common stock, and all options were converted into 500,000 shares of common stock, the Company would have a total of 28,307,978 shares of common stock then outstanding. Assuming that all Series C stock were then converted subsequent to the conversion of all Series B stock, the Series C stock would convert into 52,571,959 shares of common stock, resulting in a total of 80,879,937 shares of common stock then issued and outstanding.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes (unless footnoted) shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after March 31, 2011, pursuant to options, warrants, conversions privileges or other rights. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock.

As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the voting of, a security, or the sole or shared investment power with respect to a security (i.e., the
power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, a security). It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of March 31, 2010, which are treated as outstanding for the purpose of determining the percent of class by such stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of these stockholders is c/o Global Entertainment Holdings, 2375 E. Tropicana Avenue, #8-259 Las Vegas, Nevada 89119.
