Beta Music Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Beta”) was incorporated in the state of Florida on July 5, 2006 under the name Pop Starz Productions, Inc. On November 14, 2007 the name of the Company was changed to The Next Pop Star, Inc. On October 20, 2008, the name was changed again to Beta Music Group, Inc.
The Company is currently a shell company and has limited continuing operations. The Company intends to locate and combine with an existing company that is profitable or which, in management’s view, has growth potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged. A combination may be structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange of the Company’s common stock for stock or assets or any other form.
Pending negotiation and consummation of a combination the Company anticipates that it will have, aside from carrying on its search for a combination partner, no business activities, and, thus, will have no source of revenue. The Company does not currently have cash on hand sufficient to fund its operations until the earlier of a combination or a period of one year, and will be required to seek additional funding to consummate a transaction. The Company intends to either seek additional equity or debt financing. No assurances can be given that such equity or debt financing will be available, nor can there be any assurance that a combination transaction will be consummated. Should the Company be required to incur any significant liabilities prior to a combination transaction, including those associated with the current minimal level of general and administrative expenses, it may not be able to satisfy those liabilities in the event it was unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.
At June 30, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit. As such, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have sufficient working capital for its planned activities, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Continuation of the company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through short-term loans from related parties and additional equity investments, which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. |
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
Background
Beta Music Group Inc. (“BETA”, the “Company” or “we”) is a Florida corporation incorporated in the state of Florida on July 5, 2006. Our original business endeavor wasto produce live entertainment competitions (in installments or episodes) to be taped and/or filmed for distribution by television and/or internet means. We were not successful and changed our business plan. Through the Company’s subsidiary, Famous Records, Corp., our new business focus was to establish contact with new artists who write their own songs (“singer-songwriters”) and produce their own work. The Company’s objective was to sign these artists to exclusive services agreements or license the artists’ products for exploitation in domestic and foreign markets. Once these artists were signed, their appeal could be enhanced by concert promotions. With limited capital we were not successful.
In December 2009 there was a change in the Company’s control and new management was appointed. In connection with this change in control, Beta spun-off the operations of Delta Entertainment Group, Inc, the holding company for Famous Records, pursuant to a stock dividend to the shareholders of record of Beta on December 15, 2009. The spin-off was effective April 12, 2010.
Since the completion of the spin-off, the Company has had no operations. Our focus will be to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating or development stage business which desires to utilize our status as a reporting corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have not limited our search to any specific industry.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months and Six Months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and from July 5, 2006 (“Inception”) to June 30, 2011.
Revenues
We had no revenues for either the three or six month period ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. Total revenues since inception were $2,760.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, general and administrative expenses totaled $5,749 and $11,366, resulting in a net loss from continuing operations of $(5,749) and $(11.366).
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, general and administrative expenses totaled $15,871 and $13,103, resulting in a net loss from continuing operations of $(15,871) and $(13,103).
General and administrative expenses since Inception totaled $224,526 which has resulted in a net loss from continuing operations totaling $(224,017). We have reduced our operating expenses to the extent possible until such time as we can identify an acquisition candidate.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011there was no loss attributable to discontinued operations as compared to a loss from discontinued operations totaling $(15,400) and $(58,612) for the periods ended June 30, 2010. Net loss from discontinued operations since Inception totaled $(149,500).
Our net loss from continuing and discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $(5,749) and $(15,871). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 our net loss from continuing and discontinued operations were $(26,766) and $(71,715), respectively. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $(19,570) and $(64,519). Net loss attributable to common shareholders since Inception totaled $(373,517).
Our net loss per share during for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $(0.00).
We will require additional capital to fully implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional capital or if available, on commercially acceptable terms. Until such time as we can fully implement our business plan, it is unlikely that we will be able to reverse our continuing losses in which case an investor may lose their entire investment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Assets and Liabilities
At June 30, 2011 we had cash of $5,898 as compared to $6,355 on December 31, 2010. The decrease in our cash reserves is due to the use of funds for our administrative expenses.
Our current liabilities at June 30, 2011 totaled $54,271 consisting primarily of a note payable in the amount of $50,000. At December 31, 2010 current liabilities totaled $38,857 which was primarily attributable to a note payable totaling $35,500. We used the proceeds from these notes for working capital.

Total current liabilities at June 30, 2011 were $54,271 as compared to $38,857 at December 31, 2010.
We had a working capital deficit of $48,373 at June 30, 2011 and a working capital deficit of $32,502 at December 31, 2010. We have no revenues to satisfy these liabilities.
