ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 (the “Exchange Act”) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011 and, based on his evaluation, and, has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, we assessed, as of December 31, 2011, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment using those criteria, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, was effective.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
- 9 -
| | |
| · | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| | |
| · | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and |
| | |
| · | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
We have one director. We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee. We do not have sufficient funds to secure officer and directors insurance and we do not believe that we will be able to retain an independent Board of Directors in the immediate future. We do not believe that we will be able to attract independent board members until such time as we acquire an operating business.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Our current CEO has not been paid any compensation since assuming office in December 2009 and there is no employment agreement in place. The Company has not set any parameters to pay any salaries.

Our Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence. The Board also discussed with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of its internal controls. The Board reviewed with the independent auditors their management letter on internal controls.
Our entire Board, acting in the capacity of the audit committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 with the independent auditors.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with the independent auditors our Board of Directors approved the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and recommended that they be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Beta Music Group, Inc .
(a development stage company)
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Beta Music Group, Inc. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 and the period from July 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2011. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with 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 misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011 and the period from July 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and no source of revenue, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BETA MUSIC GROUP, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Description of Company and Basis of Presentation
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.
Development Stage
The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 915-15 and the Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act 7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.
Going Concern
At December 31, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit and no revenue source. 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.
Note 2: Summary of Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. Deposits are insured to FDIC limits. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 there was no uninsured cash.

BETA MUSIC GROUP, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Other financial instruments include notes payable and amounts due to related parties for wages and advances. Due to the short-term maturity of these obligations and the stated interest rates on notes payable, the carrying value of these instruments represent their fair value.
Revenue Recognition:
We currently do not have any revenue generating activities, however, revenues will be recognized when all of the following have been met:
| | |
| · | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
| · | Delivery or service has been performed; |
| · | The customer’s fee is deemed to be fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties |
| · | Collectability is probable. |
Advertising:
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. We did not incur any advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.
Income Taxes:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized currently for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely that such assets will not be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a net deferred tax asset. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets and review the amount of such allowance annually. When we determine certain deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be utilized, we will reduce our valuation allowance accordingly.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions, nor do we anticipate any significant unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during the next 12 months. Any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. We are subject to tax audits for our U.S. federal and certain state tax returns for the tax years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.
Income (Loss) Per Share:
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed similar to basic net loss per common 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. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 diluted net loss per share is equivalent to basic net loss per share as the company did not have any potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new relevant accounting pronouncements that are in effect through the date of these financial statements. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3: Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement and Discontinued Operations
In December 2009, certain shareholders entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell 13,711,676 shares of common stock held to an individual. Pursuant to that agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to spin off its subsidiaries to the shareholders of record as of December 15, 2009. The effective date was April 13, 2010. Accordingly, the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a loss from discontinued operations of $51,416 and a loss from discontinued operations since inception of $149,500.
In relation to the spin-off, the Company distributed its investment in its former subsidiary to the shareholders of record as of December 15, 2009 through the issuance of 16,555,315 shares of subsidiary common stock. The value of the dividend was determined to be $14,899, which represented the Company’s investment in the former sub.
Additionally, as of the date of the spin off, the Company recorded Additional Paid in Capital of $149,532, which, on the date of the spinoff, represented the net liabilities and stockholders’ equity of the subsidiary.
NOTE 4: Income taxes
At December 31, 2011 and 2010 deferred tax assets consist of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Federal loss carryforwards | | $ | 108,000 | | | $ | 121,000 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (108,000 | ) | | | (121,000 | ) |
| | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
The Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the full amount of the deferred tax asset primarily due to uncertainty in the utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards.
As of December 31, 2011, the effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate due to net operating losses.
The estimated net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $309,000 begin to expire in 2028 for both federal and state purposes.
NOTE 5: Notes payable
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had notes payable outstanding of $63,500 and 35,500 respectively. The notes are due on demand and bear interest at the rate of 6% per year.
NOTE 6: Related Party Transactions
Our executive offices are currently located at 160 East 65th Street New York, NY 10065 which is also the principal place of business of our chief executive officer. The office is provided rent free and should be sufficient to meet our current needs.
NOTE 7: Subsequent Events
On January 23, 2012 the Company received proceeds from a note payable in the amount of $11,500. The note bears interest at the rate of 6% and is due on demand.
In March 2012, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary Beta Auto Group, which was incorporated in the state of Indiana.
In March 2012, the Company received proceeds from a note payable from a related party in the amount of $20,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 6% and is due on demand.
