[A Development Stage Company] Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited, condensed financial statements of 4th Grade Films, Inc. (the "Company" or "4th Grade Films") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Annual Report and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2008. In the opinion of management these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 2- LIQUIDITY/GOING CONCERN The Company has accumulated losses since inception, has minimal current assets, and has a net operating loss of $6,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Because the Company has accumulated losses since inception, has minimal liquid current assets, and has limited sales activity there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans include continuing to develop, finance, produce, market and distribute films within the independent film community. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. NOTE 3- DIRECTOR COMPENSATION EXPENSES / RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Effective April 1, 2008, the directors resolved to suspend payment of $1,000 per year to each member of the board of directors. The Compensation was paid semi-annually, with the first $500 payment made on October 1, 2007 and subsequent $500 payment on March 1, 2008. The Payment to the Directors will be reinstated once the Company generates positive operating cash flow. During the year ended June 30, 2008, James Doolin, the Company's President and director, loaned the Company an aggregate of $25,000 on an unsecured debenture. The Note accrues interest at 10% per annum and matures on December 31, 2010. On August 19, 2008, the Company repaid $20,000 of the outstanding note payable. As of March 31, 2009, the outstanding note payable to the shareholder was $6,698, including accrued interest. From inception through March 31, 2009 the Company accrued interest of $1,698 on the note. As of March 31, 2009, approximately 77.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock is controlled by one family giving them effective power to control the vote on substantially all significant matters without the approval of other stockholders. The Company rents office space from the Company's President at a cost of $75 per month. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has accrued $1,350 in unpaid rental fees from this arrangement. Note 4 - Film Costs Film costs consisted of the following as of March 31, 2009: Films: Released $ - Completed, not released - In production 100,149 In development, or Preproduction - ---------- Total $ 100,149 ========== As of March 31, 2009, the Company does not have any unamortized film costs of completed or released films or participation liabilities and, therefore, does not present an estimate of the amortization of these costs. 5 Note 5 - Conversion of Preferred Stock, Series A On or about May 15, 2007, the Company offered a no minimum and a maximum of 30,000 shares of Preferred Stock, Series A, at $3.00 per share pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company completed the offering on or about June 1, 2007, selling all 30,000 shares of Preferred Stock, Series A, for gross proceeds of $90,000. On August 31, 2008, the 30,000 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, Series A, were mandatorily converted to the Company's Common Stock. The Preferred Stock, Series A, were converted on a 1 for 10 share basis for 300,000 common shares. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no Preferred Stock outstanding and 2,345,000 Common shares issued and outstanding. Note 6 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". This statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Financial Staff Position FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157." This Staff Position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until July 1, 2009, 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 (at least annually). The delay is intended to allow the FASB's constituents additional time to consider the effect of the various implementation issues that have arisen, or that may arise, from the application of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently determining what impact the application of SFAS 157 on July 1, 2009 for non-recurring non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value will have on its financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159). This Statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The Statement's objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The Company elected not to measure any additional assets or liabilities at fair value at the time SFAS 159 was adopted on July 1, 2008. As a result, implementation of SFAS 159 had no impact on the Company's condensed finacial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) ("SFAS 141R"), "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 160 ("SFAS 160"), "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51". SFAS 141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact these statements will have on its financial statements. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"), which will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedging items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company is evaluating the impact this statement may have on its financial statements. 6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. PLAN OF OPERATION For the next 12 months, the Company will: (1) Execute on its marketing campaign for the Company's Film. The marketing campaign will include submitting the Film to film festivals and developing relationships with independent film distributors. The Company has submitted the Film into several independent film festivals to seek exposure within the independent film community. Management targeted approximately thirty film festivals throughout North America to enter the Film. Management believes that film festivals provide broad marketing exposure within the independent film community. As of March 31, 2009, the Film has been named as an official finalist to the 2009 Canada International Film Festival and has also been chosen to receive the Gold Kahuna Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2009 Honolulu International Film Festival. The Company can provide no assurances that the Film will be selected to be showcased at any other film festivals, but management will utilize these festivals as an opportunity to gain exposure of the Film and seek to securerelationships with distribution companies. Furthermore, Management's marketing plan includes marketing the film directly to distribution entities. Currently, the Company does not have any distribution agreements established with independent film distributors, but will work to develop distribution channels throughout the next twelve months. Management can make no assurances that the Company will be able to sell or distribute the Film. Other than submission fees to film festivals and travel expenses, the Company does not anticipate in allocating substantial monetary resources to the marketing of the Film over the next twelve months. The Company estimates the total marketing expenses for the next twelve months, including submission fees and travel expenses for the Film, will not exceed $10,000. The Company's current cash resources will not be sufficient to cover the planned marketing expenses. The Company's management will advance the Company monies not to exceed $50,000, as loans to the Company, to cover the Company's operations and planned marketing expenses. (2) Continue seeking opportunities in developing, financing, producing, marketing and/or distributing film content within the independent film market. Other than the Film, the Company does not have any other projects in production, but plans to begin pre-production of its next project within the next twelve months. Depending on the budget of the next project the Company may need to raise additional funding to finance the project. The Company's management will advance the Company monies not to exceed $50,000, as loans to the Company, to help the Company produce, market and distribute film content. The loan will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than would be available from a commercial lender in an arm's length transaction. If the Company needs funds in excess of $50,000, it will be up to the Company's management to raise such monies. These funds may be raised as either debt or equity, but management does not have any plans or relationships currently in place to raise such funds. The Company can provide no assurances that if additional funds are needed that it will be able to obtain financing. (3) As part of an ongoing management process, the Company's fund raising efforts and support for the above initiatives will be continuously reviewed and prioritized to ensure that returns are commensurate with levels of investment. The Company has accumulated losses since inception and has not been able to generate profits from operations. The Company will continue marketing its first film project within the independent film community. The Company intends to generate revenue through marketing and distributing the film, however the Company can provide no assurances that it will be able to generate any revenue from the film. Operating capital, including the proceeds to finance the Company's first film project have been raised through the Company's shareholders. The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve months will continue to be developed, managed and operated solely by the Company's Officers and Directors. The Company does not currently have any employees nor does it anticipate hiring any employees over the next twelve months. The Company has not been able to generate positive cash flow from operations since inception. This along with the above mentioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION OPERATING RESULTS - OVERVIEW The three month period ended March 31, 2009, resulted in a net loss of $6,830. The Basic Loss per Share for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was ($0.01). Details of changes in revenues and expenses can be found below. 7 OPERATING RESULTS REVENUES The Company has not generated a profit since inception. The Company generated a net loss of $6,830 and $26,890 and no revenue for three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009, respectively. For the three and nine months periods ended March 31, 2008 the Company generated no revenue and accumulated a net loss of $5,118 and $21,041, respectively. The Company does not provide forecasts of future earnings or profitability. The future success of the Company cannot be ascertained with any certainty, therefore no forecasts or guidance will be formulated or provided. OPERATING RESULTS COST OF GOODS SOLD/COST OF SALES Cost of sales was $0 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company did not generate any revenue for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and therefore did not incur any expenses related to revenue. OPERATING RESULTS OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, was $6,669. Operating expenses included director compensation, professional fees, and general and administrative expenses. - The Company's professional fees include transfer agent fees, accounting and legal fees. The net accounting and legal expenses incurred in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 totaled $5,561 and $3,094 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The net professional fees incurred for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 totaled $23,525 and $16,309 for the same period ended March 31, 2008. The professional fees for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 were significantly higher due to expenses associated with the increased legal fees and transfer agent fees. The Company incurred $7,797 in legal fees in the most recent nine month period due to various legal opinions rendered by the Company's legal counsel. For the fiscal year ending in 2009, the Company estimates annual accounting expenses to be approximately $8,000. Management's estimate for legal expenses for the fiscal year to be approximately $7,000 and $3,000 for transfer agent fees. - The Company incurred $225 in rent for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and $675 for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $1,108 and $1,523 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009 was $2,615 and $4,231 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008. The general and administrative expenses were higher for the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2008 due to higher overall operational expenses. OPERATING RESULTS INTEREST EXPENSES The Company incurred $161 in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and $750 in interest expense for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009. The Company incurred $501 in interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008. The interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, was attributed to a loan from James Doolin, the Company's President and director. During the year ended June 30, 2008, James Doolin, the Company's President and director, loaned the Company an aggregate of $25,000 on an unsecured debenture. The Note accrues interest at 10% per annum and matures on December 31, 2010. On August 19, 2008, the Company repaid $20,000 of the outstanding note payable. As of March 31, 2009, the outstanding note payable to the shareholder was $6,698. From inception through March 31, 2009 the Company accrued interest of $1,698 on the note. LIQUIDITY As of March 31, 2009, the Company had no accounts receivable, $11,892 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company had no inventory as of March 31, 2009, but has capitalized film development costs of $100,149. The Company has a cash balance of $2,641 as of March 31, 2009. Management does not anticipate that the Company's existing cash balance will cover the Company's general expenses of operation for the next twelve months. However, the Company's management will continue to advance the Company monies not to exceed $50,000, as loans to the Company. The loan will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than would be available from a commercial lender in an arm's length transaction. Currently a member of the Company's management has loaned the Company approximately $5,000 in principal. If the Company needs funds in excess of $50,000, it will be up to the Company's management to raise such monies. These funds may be raised as either debt or equity, but management does not have any plans or relationships currently in place to raise such funds. The Company can provide no assurances that if additional funds are needed the Company will be able to obtain financing. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to generate revenue and to manage the Company's expenses. Management will continue to seek to explore opportunities to enhance the value of the Company and its profitability. 8 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ESTIMATES Our discussion herein and analysis thereof is based upon our financial statements in Item 1 above, which have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission("SEC")for interim financial reporting.
