NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Audience Productions, Inc. (“API”) is a Washington corporation formed in July 2009 to engage in the business of developing, financing, producing, marketing, and selling the full length motion picture, “Lydia Slotnick Unplugged.” The Film tells the story of a hip, thirty-something music executive who has to prove she still has an edge. So, she digs up dirt on a has-been rocker, but uncovers a bigger story. We anticipate that the film will be sold to a distributor; however, there are no plans or arrangements with any distributors currently in place. The film will be financed by the sale of 800,000 Series A Preferred Shares for $10.00 per share. Upon sale of the film and any distribution to the shareholders, the Series A Preferred Shares will be redeemed.
API is currently wholly-owned and managed by Jay T. Schwartz, Julie Chase, and George Brumder.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.
Basis of Presentation
API’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. API has year end of September 30.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
In February 1997, the FSAB issued ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. ASC No. 260 supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. API has adopted the provisions of ASC No. 260 effective July 6, 2009 (inception).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Note 2: Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, API incurred substantial net losses for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and has no revenue stream to support itself. This raises doubt about API’s ability to continue as a going concern.
API’s future success is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. There is no guarantee that API will be able to raise enough capital or generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operation. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification or recorded assets and liabilities that might result should API be unable to continue as a going concern. During the period from July 6, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2010 API had a loss of ($110,431).
8
Note 3: Series A Preferred Shares
Priority Return
When the Series A Preferred Shares are issued, Series A Preferred Shareholders will be entitled to a priority return equal to the amount of their investment plus 7%. Until the Series A Preferred priority return has been paid, all cash available for distribution will be distributed 100% to the Series A Preferred Shareholders, pro-rata amongst the class.
Note 4: Accounts Payable
A/P, Trade: API has retained Beacon Law Advisors for securities-related legal services. Under the terms of the agreement with Beacon, Beacon has charged API $82,000 for services associated with the preparation and filing of API’s registration statement. This amount is due in full upon the successful closing of the offering associated with the financing of “Lydia Slotnick Unplugged.”
Also payable under this account is $3,600 to our certified public accountants.
A/P, Related Parties: On June 30, 2010, API entered in to an Intellectual Property and Technology License with Jay T. Schwartz, Julie Chase, and George Brumder (collectively, the “Licensor”) in exchange for $100 payable by API to Licensor.
Also payable under this account are various expenses due to company management totaling $137.
Note 5: Long Term Liabilities
On August 19, 2009, API entered into a loan agreement with Jay T. Schwartz, George Brumder, and Julie Chase (company management and the common shareholders, collectively, the “Lenders”) for the sum of three thousand dollars ($3,000), with an interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum. The loan and all accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable upon the successful closing of the offering associated with the financing of “Lydia Slotnick Unplugged.” Repayment of the loan will not represent a taxable dividend or distribution of cash from API. Under the terms of the agreement, additional loans may be made as requested by API, to fund ongoing operations of the company, up to a total of $100,000, though management does not believe API will require more than $50,000 in loans to fund its operations prior to the successful closing of the offering associated with the financing of “Lydia Slotnick Unplugged.”
Between October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010, API borrowed an additional $21,000 from the Lenders with the same interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum. Total accrued interest on all borrowings, through December 31, 2010, is $1,105. The loans are to be repaid with proceeds of the offering.

Note 7: Common Stock Transactions
API is authorized to issue a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with no par value per share.
9
On July 6, 2009, API, by unanimous written consent, issued a total of three shares of common stock to the founders (directors and officers). These shares were issued at par value of $1.00 in consideration only for cash. On June 30, 2010, API’s Board of Directors and Shareholders approved an amendment and restatement to API’s Articles that eliminated the par value of these shares.
Total shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2010 were three.
Note 8: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” to allow a qualifying special purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a benefici al interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on API’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” and amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The Subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’ s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on API’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP107-1 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. API adopted FSP 107-1 in the second quarter of 2009. FSP 107-1 di d not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions 115-2 and 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP 115-2 and 124-2”). FSP 115-2 and 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP 115-2 and 124-2 do not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. API adopted FSP 115-2 and 124-2 in the second quarter of 2009. FSP 115-2 and 124-2 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
10
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. API adopted FSP 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009. FSP 157-4 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 applies to both interim financial statements and annual financial statements. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 165 does not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In July 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. API began to use the new Codification when referring to GAAP in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. SFAS 168 does not have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
API does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have any significant impact on API’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
As new accounting pronouncements are issued, API will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our reviewed (and audited as applicable) financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein. Except for historical information, the discussions in this section contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to expected future results and business trends that are based upon our current estimate, expectations, and projections about the industry, and upon our beliefs, and certain assumptions we have made that are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipates,” “guidance,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “prospects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements.” In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are “forward-looking statements.” Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any “forward-looking statement” as a result of various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to raise $8,000,000 in our public offering for 800,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, our ability to secure actors, actresses, directors, and other filmmaking professionals, our ability to produce the film, “Lydia Slotnick Unplugged” as planned, our ability secure a favorable distribution deal during or upon completion of the film, other trends in the motion picture market, including consumer tastes and preferences, consumers disposable income, and changes involving the technology used to watch films, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filing s. These “forward-looking statements” are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the “forward-looking statements,” whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
Audience Productions, Inc. (“API”) is a Washington corporation formed in July 2009 to engage in the business of developing, financing, producing, marketing, and selling the full length motion picture, “Lydia Slotnick Unplugged” (the “Film”). The Film tells the story of a hip, thirty-something music executive that has to prove she still has an edge. So, she digs up dirt on a has-been rocker, but uncovers a bigger story. We will attempt to sell the Film to a distributor, however, there are no plans or arrangements with any distributors currently in place. API is in the development stage; from our inception to December 31, 2010, the company has earned no revenue, has a net loss of $110,431, and has total assets of $542 consisting solely of cash.
API has three officers, Jay T. Schwartz (President), George Brumder (Treasurer), and Julie Chase (Secretary), together known as the “Officers.” API is currently offering 800,000 Series A Preferred Shares, at $10.00 per share, to raise the Film’s $8,000,000 production budget. The shares became available for sale to the public on April 23, 2010, though we did not begin to sell shares via our website until January 10, 2011. The initial sales period ended on October 19, 2010. However, API elected to extend the offering period for two of six available, consecutive, 3-month periods and the Offering Period will now end on April 19, 2011. In the event that all of the Series A Preferred Shares are not sold by April 19, 2011, API reserves the right to extend the Offering Period for up to four additional, consecutive, 3-month periods.
Description of Our Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Expenses
We had no revenue during the period, as we currently conduct no revenue-generating activities. We do not anticipate producing any revenue if and until we raise the $8,000,000 in our public offering and produce and sell the “Film”. Expenses consisted primarily of general and administrative costs ($4,502).
12
Critical Accounting Policies
Other than those referenced in Note 8 to our financial statement above, we have no accounting policies we consider to be critical. Our statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, continued expenses from development stage activities resulted in a net loss of $4,921. We had no revenue during the period, as we currently conduct no revenue-generating activities. Borrowing remained flat at $24,000 and at December 31, 2010, we had $542 in cash, $110,943 in total liabilities (of which $25,342 is due to the Officers and $82,000 is due to our counsel, Beacon Law Advisors), and negative shareholders’ equity of $110,401.
Comparison to Prior Periods
Total expenses during the period were relatively flat from the prior period ($4,921 compared to $5,480 for the 3-month period from October 1 to December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively) and both amounts were largely made up of auditing expenses of $3,600. As the nature of our operations up to this point has been non-revenue generating, each quarter’s financial activity continues to consist of start-up expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our development exclusively with loans made to us from our Officers. At December 31, 2010, these loans totaled $24,000 and accrued interest of $1,105 at a rate of 5% per annum. We anticipate that the total cost to fund our operations prior to and throughout the offering period will not exceed $50,000. However, the agreement we have in place with our Officers allows for a total loan amount of up to $100,000. We currently do not have any other source of liquidity. However, we are in the process of raising $8,000,000 in a public offering of 800,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock at $10 per share. If we are successful in this offering, we will repay the loans to the Officers and commence the production of the Film.
Contractual Obligations
In addition to the $82,000 due to our attorneys as shown on our balance sheet under “Accounts Payable - Trade” and the $25,342 (including accrued interest) due to our Officers as shown on our balance sheet under “Loans from Common Shareholders”, we currently have three contractual obligations, none of which will take effect unless and until we raise the entire $8,000,000 now being offered via public offering. Upon raising the funds, we will begin making a series of payments totaling $200,000 each to Jay Schwartz, George Brumder, and Julie Chase as production managers for the film. These payments are more fully described in our prospectus and the applicable exhibits thereto. We also have in place an option purchase agreement with the writers of the film (detailed in the prospectus and applicable exhibit) under which we will owe them the purchase price of the film ($200,000 less any previously paid option fe es). Finally, we have an contract in place under which we are obligated to use Bridge Productions, Inc. to produce the film. Compensation under this agreement is detailed in the prospectus and applicable exhibit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
