FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001
(UNAUDITED)
(Amounts expressed in thousands United States Dollars)
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLE ACTIVITIES
Interruption Television Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of
Nevada January 29, 1997. With effect from July 10, 2000, the Company changed its
name from Time Financial Services, Inc. to Interruption Television Inc. As of
July 20, 2000 the Company maintains its head office in Singapore where it
coordinates sales, marketing, purchasing and administrative functions.
During the period from April 1, 1997 to July 19, 2000 the Company was engaged in
marketing financial information systems, software and on-line subscription
financial data through a wholly owned subsidiary Time Lending, California. On
July 19, 2000 the Company sold and transferred all assets and liabilities and
all shares of Time Lending, California to a third party buyer.
On July 20, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common
stock of ITV, Inc. ("ITV") a Nevada corporation , which owns 100% of the shares
of Interruption Television Pte Ltd. a company incorporated in Singapore, in
exchange for 17,012,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock of par value $0.001
each (approximately 85% of the shares now outstanding), after the shareholders
approved one for three reverse stock split on July 20, 2000, to the shareholders
of the Company. An additional 2,504,000 shares were issued to several persons
instrumental in the acquisition as consultant fees on July 20, 2000.
Interruption Television Pte Limited (ITPL), the operating company, is
incorporated in Singapore, and is principally engaged in the conceptualisation
and production of Television programs for worldwide distribution across multiple
media platforms. Additionally, the Company drives traffic from its branded
programs on traditional television medium to multiple media platforms and seeks
sponsorship opportunities for this traffic.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The acquisition on July 20, 2000, of ITV (accounting acquirer) by the Company
(non-operating shell) is considered in substance to be a capital transaction and
is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other
intangible are recorded. On this basis, the historical financial statements
prior to June 30, 2000 represent the consolidated financial statement of the
Company and its subsidiary ITV. The historical stockholders' equity accounts of
the Company as of June 30, 2000 represent the 17,012,666 shares of common stock
issued in connection with the acquisition. The original 421,600 shares of common
stock outstanding prior to the exchange reorganization are reflected as an
addition in the stockholders' equity account of the Company as of July 20, 2000.
The 2,504,000 shares of common stock issued for consulting fees are reflected in
the stockholders' equity as of July 20, 2000.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Capitalised Production Costs
Capitalized Production costs comprises materials, direct labour,
sub-contractors' costs and an appropriate proportion of production overheads in
developing commercial films for showing on television. These costs are amortized
over 5 years commencing from the date of commercial production.
Any capitalized production costs that cannot reasonably be recovered from
related future revenue is written-off to the profit and loss account.
b. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected in
current operations. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:
Office Equipment 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-5 years
Leasehold Improvements 3-5 years
7
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer
in use. Any gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets is recognised in the profit
and loss account currently.
c. Net sales
Net sales represent the income taken from contracts signed and programs that
have gone to air.
d. Income taxes
The tax expense is determined on the basis of tax effect accounting using the
liability method and it is applied to all significant timing differences, which
arise from the differences in accounting and tax treatment of certain income and
expense items. A deferred tax benefit is not recognised in the accounts unless
there is a reasonable expectation of realisation
e. Operating leases
Operating leases represent those leases under which substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors. Rental
payments under operating leases are charged to expense on the straight-line
basis over the period of the relevant leases.
f. Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are converted at exchange rates approximating
those ruling at transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets as at
year-end are converted at rates of exchange approximating those ruling at that
date. Exchange differences are recognised in the profit and loss account
currently.
g. Revenue Recognition
Income from production of programs is recognised upon initial airing of the
program on any given broadcaster.
h. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in Singapore requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
i. Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables,
short-term borrowings, operating leases and trade payables. The book values of
these instruments are considered to be representative of their fair values.
4. LOANS FROM THIRD PARTIES
a. The convertible note payable to Sarmatan Development Ltd. in
the amount of $500,000 is at 9% interest due May 25, 2001. As
