THE MOBILE STAR CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
The Mobile Star Corp. (“The Mobile Star” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation in the development stage and has not commenced operations. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 25, 2007 and began activity in January 2008. The business plan of the Company is to develop a commercial application of a self operated computerized karaoke recording booth. The Company also intends to obtain approval of its patent application, and manufacture and market the product and/or seek third party entities interested in licensing the rights to manufacture and market the device. The accompanying financial statements of The Mobile Star were prepared from the accounts of the Company under the accrual basis of accounting.
The Company has commenced a capital formation activity to submit a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register and sell in a self-directed offering 2,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock at an offering price of $0.10 for proceeds of up to $200,000. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed with the SEC on August 12, 2008 and declared effective on September 8, 2008. The Company extended this public offering for an additional 90 days.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2009, and for the periods ended, and cumulative from inception, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2009, and cumulative from inception. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2009. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Refer to the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC, for additional information, including significant accounting policies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the period ended March 31, 2009.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of March 31, 2009, the carrying value of accrued liabilities, and loans from directors and stockholders approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
Patent and Intellectual Property
The Company capitalizes the costs associated with obtaining a Patent or other intellectual property associated with its intended business plan. Such costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company defers the direct incremental costs of raising capital as other assets until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is terminated.
THE MOBILE STAR CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives when events or circumstances lead management to believe that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For the period ended March 31, 2009, no events or circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets was required.
Common Stock Registration Expenses
The Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are expensed as incurred.
Estimates
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 as of March 31, 2009, and expenses for the period ended March 31, 2009, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF No. 03-6-1”). According to FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities under SFAS No. 128. As such, they should be included in the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) using the two-class method. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, as well as interim periods within those years. Once effective, all prior-period EPS data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. The Company does not expect FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
THE MOBILE STAR CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) significantly changes the accounting for business combinations and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” - an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated shareholders’ equity, the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations and changes in the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”), which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument election. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument will be recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted provided that the entity also adopts Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which provides a one-year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
(2) Development Stage Activities and Going Concern
The Company is currently in the development stage, and has no operations. The business plan of the Company is to develop a commercial application of a self operated computerized karaoke recording booth. The Company also intends to obtain approval of its patent application, and manufacture and market the product and/or seek third party entities interested in licensing the rights to manufacture and market the device
THE MOBILE STAR CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
In January 2008, the Company entered into a Assignment Agreement whereby the Company acquired all of the rights, title and interest in the invention known as the “Self operated computerized karaoke recording booth” for consideration of royalties ranging from 1% to 5% based on the net income of the Company for 30 years from the date of the Company's incorporation. On February 20, 2008 the Company filed PCT and U.S. patent applications for the invention.
The Company has also commenced a capital formation activity to submit a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to the SEC to register and sell in a self-directed offering 2,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock at an offering price of $0.10 per share for proceeds of up to $200,000. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed with the SEC on August 12, 2008 and declared effective on September 8, 2008. The Company extended this public offering for an additional 90 days.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since inception. Further, as of March 31, 2009, the cash resources of the Company were insufficient to meet its current business plan, and the Company had negative working capital. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
(3) Patent Pending
In January 2008, the Company entered into a Assignment Agreement whereby the Company acquired all of the rights, title and interest in the invention known as the “Self operated computerized karaoke recording booth” for consideration of royalties ranging from 1% to 5% based on the net income of the Company for 30 years from the date of the Company's incorporation. On February 20, 2008 the Company filed PCT and U.S. patent applications for the invention.
(4) Loans from Related Parties - Directors and Stockholders
As of March 31, 2009, loans from related parties - directors and stockholders amounted to $4,300, and represented working capital advances from officers who are also stockholders of the Company. The loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
(5) Common Stock
On February 4, 2008, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of its common stock to founders of the Company, some of whom are directors and officers, for proceeds of $800.
The Company has commenced a capital formation activity to submit a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to the SEC to register and sell in a self-directed offering 2,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock at an offering price of $0.10 per share for proceeds of up to $200,000. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed with the SEC on August 12, 2008 and declared effective on September 8, 2008.
The Company incurred $20,000 of deferred offering costs related to this capital formation activity.

Corporate Background
We were incorporated in Delaware on September 25, 2007 and are a development stage company. We began operations on January 1, 2008. Our Principal executive offices are located at c/o Danny Elbaz, 53 Hanoter Street, Even Yehuda, Israel and our telephone number at that address is 972 - (544) 655-341. Our registered office in Delaware is located at 113 Barksdale Professional Center, Newark, DE 19711, and our registered agent is Delaware Intercorp. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Our Business
We began operations on January 1, 2008 and on January 16, 2008, Eli Malki assigned all his rights, title and interest in and to a self operated computerized karaoke recording Booth (the ‘Technology”) to Mobile Star, including the right to develop and market the Technology, in exchange for a percentage of revenues (royalties) on future sales.
On February 20, 2008 the Company filed a patent application for the Technology (Patent Application Number: 60/902,076) with the United States Patent Office. The Technology is a coin-operated karaoke machine that combines a digital media proprietary software platform, a US-wide broadband network, and a pay-per-use device. To date, to our knowledge, no such product exists in the market.
The Technology comprises a closed booth, divided into two parts: an acoustically isolated space wherein the singer sings, and the recording and processing hardware including a computer and a computerized disc dispenser. The Technology improves and upgrades the sound of the user allowing for better result. Four different instruments process the user's voice: amplifier, compressor, reverb, and equalizer. The amplifier amplifies the voice to the appropriate volume compared to the background music. The compressor restricts singing volume to a preset maximum. The reverb imitates the acoustics of a hall. The equalizer allows frequency changes to loud and super loud frequencies for dramatic sound improvement.
An animated three dimensional character acts as the virtual recording technician that guides the user from the beginning of the process until the end, thereby improving user satisfaction and enjoyment. The digital recording is saved directly to a file on the hard disc, and the service includes burning a compact disc (CD) while the program mergers between the singing and the music.
The associated software controls the machine activities, including recording, playback, burning, robotic arm movements, presenting the interface vocally and visually, and choosing the songs and their categories. All songs, backgrounds, and words are coded in files saved on the hard disc, which allows a choice of hundreds and potentially even thousands of songs. The digitalized process records only the user's voice digitally after processing with four instruments and software algorithms digitally merge the voice with the background music.
The Technology comprises of the following:
| (a) | a DVD, a flash memory device, a device connectable to automated means for recording audio via a physical cable; |
| (b) | a device connectable to automated means for recording audio via a communication link with the user multimedia file; |
| (c) | a door, ventilation means, a computer, screen, video camera and microphone; |
| (d) | optional lighting and an automatic money box; |
| (e) | a database of multimedia files, earphones, a recording means for recording audio and multimedia on a computer usable media, and a processing unit, and may comprise labeling and packing means for labeling and packing said computer usable media; |
| (f) | a graphical user interface (GUI), an audio processing application, a multimedia processing application, a control application. |
A singer enters an automated recording booth to record a multimedia file comprising an audio performance of the singer in combination with a multimedia recording from a database. The result is a computer-usable media with the singer’s multimedia file.
The recording booth comprises a door, means of ventilation, a computer and screen, a video camera, and a microphone. There is a means for lighting and an automatic money box to collect the payment.
The recording booth further comprises a database of multimedia files from which the singer selects the songs, and earphones through which the singer hears the music and his voice integrated together. A recording device records the audio and the selected multimedia on a computer usable media. The processing unit burns the media. The media is then labeled and packaged.
The processing unit comprises a graphical user interface (GUI), an audio processing application, a multimedia processing application, and a control application.
Employees
Other than our current Directors and officers, Danny Elbaz and Eran Gronich, we have no other full time or part-time employees. If and when we develop the prototype for Technology, and are able to begin manufacturing and marketing, we may need additional employees for such operations. We do not foresee any significant changes in the number of employees or consultants we will have over the next twelve months.
Transfer Agent
We have engaged Nevada Agency and Trust as our stock transfer agent. Nevada Agency and Trust is located at 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada 89501. Their telephone number is (775) 322-0626 and their fax number is (775) 322-5623. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our issued and outstanding common stock.
Plan of Operation
We were incorporated in Delaware on September 25, 2007 and we are a development stage company. We intend to engage in the manufacturing and distribution of the Technology. We have not generated any revenues to date and our operations have been limited to organizational, start-up, and capital formation activities.
Although we have not yet engaged a manufacturer to develop a fully operational prototype of the Technology, based on our preliminary discussions with certain manufacturing vendors, we believe that it will take approximately three to four months to construct a basic valid prototype of our product. If and when we have a viable prototype, depending on the availability of funds, we estimate that we would need approximately an additional four to six months to bring this product to market. Our objective is to manufacture the product ourselves through third party sub-contractors and market the product as an off-the-shelf device, and/or to license the manufacturing rights to product and related technology to third party manufacturers who would then assume responsibility for marketing and sales.
General Working Capital
We may be wrong in our estimates of funds required in order to proceed with developing a prototype and executing our general business plan described herein. Should we need additional funds, we would attempt to raise these funds through additional private placements or by borrowing money. We do not have any arrangements with potential investors or lenders to provide such funds and there is no assurance that such additional financing will be available when required in order to proceed with the business plan or that our ability to respond to competition or changes in the market place or to exploit opportunities will not be limited by lack of available capital financing. If we are unsuccessful in securing the additional capital needed to continue operations within the time required, we may not be in a position to continue operations.
We have raised as of today $80,000 pursuant to the effective Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2008 (file no. 333-152952). As disclosed above, we have no revenues and, as such, if we do not raise at least $100,000 from our offering we will not have sufficient funds to develop a prototype. If we are unable to raise funds, we may attempt to sell the Company or file for bankruptcy. We do not have any current intentions, negotiations, or arrangements to merge or sell the Company.
We are not aware of any material trend, event or capital commitment, which would potentially adversely affect liquidity. In the event such a trend develops, we believe that we will have sufficient funds available to satisfy working capital needs through lines of credit and the funds expected from equity sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 reflects cash in the amount of $38,064, Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been sufficient to provide the operating capital necessary to operate to date. The operating expenses and net loss for the three months ended March 31 2009 amounted to $20,717.
We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business plan. We expect to incur a minimum of $100,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that this will be comprised mostly of development and operating expenses as follows; $20,000 towards development of a working prototype, $5,000 towards marketing materials and website. Additionally, $75,000 will be needed for general overhead expenses such as for reimbursed expenses, corporate legal and accounting fees, office overhead and general working capital. Accordingly, we will have to raise the funds to pay for these expenses. We might do so through a private offering after our shares are quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. We potentially will have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.
Going Concern Consideration
Our auditors have issued an opinion on our financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills and meet our other financial obligations. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin marketing the product. Accordingly, we must raise capital from sources other than the actual sale of the product. We must raise capital to implement our project and stay in business. Even if we raise the maximum amount of money in our offering, we do not know how long the money will last, however, we do believe it will last at least twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
