KINGS ROAD ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of October 31, 2008
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Kings Road Entertainment, Inc., and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Registrant"), have been engaged primarily in the development, financing and production of motion pictures for subsequent distribution in theaters, to pay, network and syndicated television, on home video, and in other ancillary media in the United States (the "domestic market") and all other countries and territories of the world. Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1980, began active operations in January 1983 and released its first motion picture in 1984. Since 1984, it has released 17 additional pictures in the domestic market, and released seven pictures directly to the domestic home video or pay television market. The Company operates out of offices in the United States and in Germany.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended April 30, 2008, included in the Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. annual report on Form 10-KSB for that period.
In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at October 31, 2008, the results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended October 31, 2008 and cash flows for the six month period ended October 31, 2008 have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
b. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of October 31, 2008, the Company had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Ticker, Inc., (a California corporation), The Big Easy II Film, LLC (a California limited liability corporation) and Kings Road Entertainment Europe GmbH (a German limited liability company). Ticker, Inc. and The Big Easy II Film, LLC, were inactive during the three month period ending October 31, 2008. Kings Road Entertainment Europe GmbH was active and facilitates international co-productions. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
c. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141-R, “Business Combinations” (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141-R”). This Statement provides greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141-R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or after April 30, 2009 for the Company. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or after April 30, 2009 for the Company. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes a common definition of fair value to be used whenever GAAP requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. It also requires expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”) which defers the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In addition, in February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards that require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure most financial assets and liabilities and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of these standards will have a material effect on its financial statements.
e. Earnings (Net Loss) Per Share
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, we calculate basic net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. We do not have any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options or warrants, and we have not issued any preferred shares.
f. Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of US Dollars are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting unrealized translation gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign company assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign company revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange for the fiscal year. Gains or losses arising on the translation of the accounts of foreign companies are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
a. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash on deposit at banks. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are federally insured. However, at times, these balances could exceed federally insured limits.
b. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company licenses various rights in its films to distributors throughout the world. Generally, payment is received in full or in part prior to the Company's delivery of the film to the applicable distributor. Once calculated royalties from actual sales have exceeded such an advance, the Company receives royalty income at the end of a specific reporting period (usually three, six or twelve months) based on actual sales from the preceding reporting period. As of October 31, 2008, the Company had $42,359 in accounts receivable, none of which were with foreign distributors.
NOTE 4 – FIXED & OTHER ASSETS
a. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets of the Company at October 31, 2008, consisted of various items of office equipment with a historical cost of $5,993 and a $0 book value. All of these items were fully depreciated at October 31, 2008.
b. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of” and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These statements require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the costs to sell.
c. Film Development Costs
Film development costs are costs incurred for movie projects not yet in production. Film development costs, including any related interest and overhead, are capitalized as incurred. Profit participations and residuals, if any, are accrued in the proportion that revenue for a period bears to the estimated future revenues. Costs are amortized using the individual film forecast method set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 139. ("SFAS 139"), which bases the costs on the ratio of revenue earned in the current period to the Company's estimate of total revenues to be realized. Management periodically reviews its estimates on a film-by-film basis and, when unamortized costs exceed net realizable value for a film, that film's unamortized costs are written down to net realizable value.
At October 31, 2008, film development costs totaled $569,602 which was net after an allowance of $30,000. During the three month period ended October 31, 2008, no film development costs were determined to be impaired.
NOTE 5 – DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2 “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”). As of October 31, 2008, the Company has deferred revenue totaling $766,048.
NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a. Rent
The Company rents its registered office space at 468 N. Camden Drive, Beverly Hills and an additional office space in Santa Monica, California. The Company also rents flexible storage space for its archives. In Europe, the Company’s subsidiary rents office space in a shared facility. Office rent expense for the Company's offices and archive storage space was $13,873 and $10,793 during the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $25,616 and $21,586 during the six months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. All rental agreements may be terminated upon one month’s notice.
b. Writing Agreement
As a result of a writing agreement signed on February 19, 2008, in connection with a currently untitled feature length motion picture remake/sequel of one of the films in the Company’s library, the Company is obligated to pay the writer a further $66,667 in installments upon completion of certain writing milestones which may occur during the course of the agreement. As these milestones occur, the amounts due will be paid or accrued for.
c. Stockholder Loans
As of October 31, 2008, the Company had borrowed $90,000 from its two largest stockholders under the terms of an arrangement dated July 15, 2008, which authorized the borrowing of up to $500,000 from stockholders of the Company to fund working capital and other needs (the “Stockholder Loans”). The interest charge is accrued with the principal amount of the loans on the Balance Sheet and expensed on the Statement of Operations. The Company disclosed the preceding transaction in a Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2008.
d. Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company settled litigation with a former Officer and Director during the three months ending July 31, 2008. Legal fees associated with litigation are recorded or accrued in the period in which they occur. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become involved in matters of dispute which in the aggregate are not believed by management to be material to its financial position or results of operations. As of October 31, 2008, the Company was not involved in any active or passive litigation.
NOTE 7 – RECOGNITION OF REVENUES
Revenue from the sale or licensing of films is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2. Revenue from the theatrical release of feature films is recognized at the time of exhibition based on the Company’s participation in box office receipts. Revenue from the sale of DVDs rights under licensing agreements is recognized on the later of receipt by the customer or “street date” (when it is available for sale by the customer). Under revenue sharing arrangements, rental revenue is recognized when the Company is entitled to receipts and such receipts are determinable. Revenues from television licensing are recognized when the feature film or television program is available to the licensee for telecast. For television licenses that include separate availability “windows” during the license period, revenue is allocated over the “windows.” Revenue from sales to international territories are recognized when access to the feature film or television program has been granted or delivery has occurred, as required under the sales contract, and the right to exploit the feature film has commenced. Cash payments received are recorded as deferred revenue until all the conditions of revenue recognition have been met.
The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from distribution agreements in the US domestic market place and are amortized during the reporting period for which the revenue is applicable. Revenues derived from purchase option agreements are amortized over the period of the option granted. Revenues from theatrical exhibition are recognized on the dates of exhibition. Revenues from international, home video, video-on-demand, television and pay-television license agreements are recognized when the license period begins and the film is available for exhibition or exploitation pursuant to the terms of the applicable license agreement. Once complete, a typical film will generally be made available for licensing as follows:
| Months After | Approximate |
Marketplace | Initial Release | Release Period |
| | |
Domestic theatrical | | 0-3 months |
All international markets | | 1-12 years |
Domestic home video/DVD/ | | |
Video on Demand | 3-6 months | 3-12 months |
Domestic cable/pay television | 12-18 months | 18 months |
Domestic syndicated/free television | 24-48 months | 1-n years |
These periods are dynamic and as new media, distribution platforms and consumer behavior dictate, they will continue to change.
The Company may also derive revenues from service production contracts. Third parties may engage the Company to develop or produce film projects on a consulting basis. These revenues will generally be recognized in the period in which the work is performed and accrued. The timing difference between the cash flows and the recognition of revenue is recorded as deferred revenue where the cash received exceeds the actual work performed or as accounts receivable where work performed exceeds the payments received.
NOTE 8 – COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
At October 31, 2008, the Company had 12,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which 9,956,493 shares were issued and outstanding. On November 3, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company’s authorized capital was increased from 12,000,000 shares to 52,000,000 shares, including 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value and 2,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, $.01 par value.
N0TE 9 – GOING CONCERN
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However at October 31, 2008, the Company has sustained recent losses from operations, has a deficit in working capital of $1,068,708 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $26,448,939. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has discontinued certain operations that historically produced negative cash flow and plans to raise capital through equity-based investment instruments, which will provide funding for the development of future projects and operating expenses.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion concerns the periods ended October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document as well as the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008.
The Three Months Ended October 31, 2008 vs. the Three Months Ended October 31, 2007
For the quarter ended October 31, 2008, operating revenues were $128,704 as compared to $199,305 for the quarter ended October 31, 2007. The decrease of $70,601 results primarily from decreased revenue from distribution of the Company's feature film library which was only partly offset by an increase in service production revenues of $37,000. The Company has licensed its films to various, third party distributors and revenue is reported by these distributors on a regular basis and is based on actual sales for a preceding period. Revenue fluctuations from distribution are therefore mainly influenced by consumer demand and the activities of the distributor and the Company has generally no further influence on the sales success of those movies and the resulting fluctuations in revenue.
Costs and expenses amounted to $144,834 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008 as compared to $141,502 during the quarter ended October 31, 2007. This slight increase of $3,332 is primarily due to an increase in direct project expenses of $16,200 associated with the increase in service production revenues, an increase in selling expenses of approximately $20,000 and an increase in producer and administrative payroll of approximately $18,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting fees of approximately $20,000, the value of shares issued to Directors for services of approximately $16,000, travel expenses of approximately $10,000 and a reduction in legal fees of approximately $5,000. Although legal fees associated with litigation have significantly decreased, the Company incurred legal fees during the quarter due to the fees associated with an SEC administrative process concerning the Company’s previous filing delinquency. With the resolution of past lawsuits and the SEC administrative procedure, the Company has been able to focus its activities on its core business and the implementation of its business plan. This has resulted in the aforementioned increase in selling expenses and producer and administrative payroll in comparison to the corresponding period in 2007.
The Company had a net loss of $17,964 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008 as compared to net income of $59,012 for the quarter ended October 31, 2007. The increase in net loss of $76,976 results primarily from the decrease in revenues.
The Six Months Ended October 31, 2008 vs. the Six Months Ended October 31, 2007
For the six months ended October 31, 2008, operating revenues were $199,498 as compared to $243,359 for the six months ended October 31, 2007. The decrease of $43,861 results primarily from decreased revenue from distribution of the Company's feature film library which was only partly offset by an increase in service production revenues.
Costs and expenses amounted to $289,419 for the six months ended October 31, 2008 as compared to $219,425 during the six months ended October 31, 2007. This increase of $69,994 is primarily due to increases in direct project expenses of $16,200 associated with the increase in service production revenues, an increase in selling expenses of approximately $20,000 and an increase in producer and administration payroll of approximately $36,000.
The Company had net loss of $92,110 for the six months ended October 31, 2008 as compared to net income of $27,090 for the six months ended October 31, 2007. This increase in net loss of $119,200 results primarily from the decrease in revenues, increases in project expenses, and producer and administrative payroll.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal source of working capital during the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2008 was feature film royalty revenues and stockholder loans. The Company does not currently have sufficient working capital to fund its operations. The Company is presently investing in new film projects and is seeking external financing and other alternatives necessary to raise capital. If the Company fails to raise additional capital, increase revenues, or sell certain assets, the Company will, in all likelihood, be forced to significantly reduce its operations or liquidate.
For the six months ended October 31, 2008, the Company's net cash flow used in operating activities was $144,883 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $378,485 during the six month period ended October 31, 2007. Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $8,189 for the six months ended October 31, 2008 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $8,000 during the six month period ended October 31, 2007. At October 31, 2008, the Company had cash of $18,985 as compared to $167,163 at October 31, 2007. The Company’s decline in cash is primarily attributable to operating losses and investments in film projects.
Future Commitments
As a result of a writing agreement signed on February 19, 2008, in connection with a currently untitled feature length motion picture remake/sequel of one of the films in the Company’s library, the Company is obligated to pay the writer a further $66,667 in installments upon completion of certain writing milestones which may occur during the course of the agreement. As these milestones occur, the amounts due will be either paid or accrued.
The Company does not have, nor is it aware of, any other material future commitments.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls And Procedures
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2008 since they do not allow for information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Specifically, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 8A and 8A(T) in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 and those deficiencies have not yet been remediated by us. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, is responsible for evaluating any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Based on the foregoing evaluation, we have concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We continue to have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 8A and 8A(T) in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 and those deficiencies have not yet been remediated by us.
