Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred cumulative losses totaling $(6,594,938), a working capital deficit of $(370,851) and net operating loss of $2,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Because of these conditions, the Company will require additional working capital to develop business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the continued licensing of its brand with its current and new operators and to take on operations in larger cities with greater demand for our product through acquisitions.   There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any future use of licensing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.   If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company earned royalties and merchandise revenues from four licensees who are unrelated to management of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, revenues earned from royalties from these unrelated licensees amounted to $107,173 and there was $87,687 due and outstanding as of March 31, 2012.  The Company’s related New York affiliate commenced operations in May 2009 and revenue amounted to $52,116 during the three month 2012 period; there was $-0- due and outstanding as of March 31, 2012.

 

During the three month 2012 and 2011 periods our Baltimore licensees accounted for 21% and 26% and our Chicago licensee accounted for 16% and 17% of our total revenues, respectively.   Our New Orleans licensee accounted for 19% and 11% and our Tampa licensee accounted for 11% and 14% of our total revenues for the three month periods ended 2012 and 2011 respectively.  Our related New York licensee accounted for 33% and 31% of our total revenues for the three month periods ended 2012 and 2011 respectively. The Company’s Swan Media Group, Inc., Scoreslive.com licensee website went live during 2011 and is presently operating in beta mode; it has accounted for -0- amount of our total royalty revenues to date.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company records revenues from its license agreements on a straight line basis over the term of the license agreements. If a license agreement is terminated then the remaining unearned balance of the deferred revenues are recorded as earned if applicable. Revenue is recognized when earned, as products are completed and delivered or services are provided to customers.

 

Revenues earned under its royalty agreements are recorded as they are earned.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There are times when cash may exceed $250,000, the FDIC insured limit.

 

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share data for both the 2012 period and the 2011 period are based on net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.  Outstanding stock options are not part of this basis as they are anti-dilutive.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair values, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, licensee receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party payable.  Due to the short term maturity of these financial instruments, the fair values were not materially different from their carrying values.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

All newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to either be irrelevant or immaterial to the operations and reporting disclosures of the Company.
