(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The condensed interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 and notes thereto included in the Company’s 10-K filed on March 8, 2010. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.
Earnings per share
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”). Basic earning per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earning per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
MUSICIAN’S EXCHANGE
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company completed its offering and issued a total of 550,000 shares of common stock to its investors. As a result, a shareholder who owned 12% of the Company before the offering was reduced to a 7% ownership stake in the Company. In the prior financial statements, all transactions with this shareholder and its related entities were originally presented as related parties. However, due to the current ownership of 7% all related party disclosures were reclassified to unrelated third parties.
Recent pronouncements
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the Company.
In May 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the development stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan and incurring start up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from Inception (February 4, 2008) through the period ended June 30, 2010 of ($115,999). In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through equity financing.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

About SpeechPhone LLC
SpeechPhone LLC was founded in 2002 with the fundamental mission to add speech to every phone. SpeechPhone develops and partners with existing service providers to market speech recognition based virtual assistants that unify communications and messaging through a single personal phone number. SpeechPhone virtual assistants empower the mobile workforce through more efficient communication and easy access to information from any phone or any computer.

OVERVIEW
Since inception, we have relied on equity financing to fund our operations to date. We have incurred a net loss of $115,999 since our inception on February 4, 2008 through June 30, 2010. Upon closing of the agreements of purchase and sale of assets mentioned above, our focus will be redirected to that of the business of SpeechPhone.
Going Concern
The financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of Musician’s as a going concern. Musician’s may not have a sufficient amount of cash required to pay all of the costs associated with operating and marketing of its services. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Musician’s be unable to continue existence.
Results of Operations
Revenues
In this period ended June 30, 2010, we did not generate any revenues. In comparable six month period ended June 30, 2010, we generated $1,958. Since our inception on February 4, 2008 through June 30, 2010, we have generated $5,872 in revenues from inventory sales on our website.
Expenses
Operating expenses totaled $16,240 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $12,408 in the prior year. Operating expenses consisted solely of professional fees in the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Professional fees increased $4,217 from the three months ended June 30, 2009 to the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and transfer agent fees of $3,287 and $1,353, respectively.
General and administrative expenses decreased $385 from the three months ended June 30, 2009 to the three months ended June 30, 2010. In the three months ended June 30, 2010 we did not incur any general and administrative expenses. The decrease was due to less bank service charges and not having to pay State filing fees during the period ended June 30, 2010.
Professional fees increased $12,236 from the six months ended June 30, 2009 to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and transfer agent fees of $4,036 and $7,519, respectively.
General and administrative expenses decreased $248 from the six months ended June 30, 2009 to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was due to less bank service charges and not having to pay for State filing fees during the period ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of stock, by borrowings, and through sales-generated revenue. In the future, we anticipate we will be able to provide the necessary liquidity we need by the revenues generated from the sales of our products.
Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of listings or some form of advertising revenues. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. In the future we need to generate sufficient revenues from product sales in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan
We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in 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 markets. Such risks for us 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, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop and upgrade our website, provide national and regional industry participants with an effective, efficient and accessible website on which to promote their products and services through the Internet, respond to competitive developments, and 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.
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 of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues are anticipated to be derived from multiple sources. Dealer services revenues are to be derived from a range of promotional services, including banner advertising, inventory pages, tiles, enhanced listings and links to the dealer's own web site. Dealers will also be able to purchase a stand-alone web site with their own Internet address and searchable used musical equipment inventory for an initial non-refundable set-up fee plus a monthly maintenance fee. Revenues from these services will be recognized ratably over the period in which the service is provided. The set-up fees from dealer contracts will be recognized ratably over the period in which the service is provided, generally a year. Advertising revenues are anticipated to be generated from short-term contracts in which the Company typically guarantees for a fixed fee a minimum number of impressions, or times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by the users. These revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, provided that the amount recognized does not exceed the amount that would be recognized based upon actual impressions delivered. Such revenues will generally be derived from specific traffic referrals or transaction leads that originate on the Company's Web site and would be recognized as such referrals and leads are directed to the vendor's product.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the Company.
In May 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
