Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Hangman
Productions, Inc. 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 financial statements and
notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 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.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
period balances in order to conform to current period classifications.
NOTE 2- LIQUIDITY/GOING CONCERN
The Company has accumulated losses since inception, has minimal
assets, and has a net loss from continuing operations of $7,770 for
the three months ended June 30, 2009. Because the Company has
accumulated losses from it operations 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 its screenplay
contests. 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
On April 1, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to suspend
officer and director salaries until the Company generates positive
operating cash flows. Accordingly, there was no officer expense
recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Should operations
produce positive cash flow, compensation will resume with one officer
receiving $1,000 per month, another receiving $500 per month, and the
third receiving $100 per month.
Beginning July 1, 2006 salaries payable began accruing interest at a
rate of 5% per annum. The amounts owed are unsecured and are due on
December 31, 2010. The Company has accrued interest relating to the
salaries payable of $338 and the outstanding balance of the salaries
payable is $2,438 as of June 30, 2009. For the quarter ended June 30,
2009 the Company accrued interest of $30 on the salaries payable.
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, James Doolin, the Company's President and
director, loaned the Company an aggregate of $30,116 on an unsecured
debenture. The Note accrues interest at 10% per annum and matures on
December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2009, the outstanding note payable
to the shareholder was $35,958. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009
the Company accrued interest of $776 on the note.
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, a shareholder
loaned the Company an aggregate of $8,500 on an unsecured debenture.
The Note accrues interest at 10% per annum and matures on December 31,
2010. As of June 30, 2009, the outstanding note payable to the
shareholder was $11,522. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the
Company accrued interest of $280 on the note.
As of June 30, 2009, approximately 68% of the Company's issued and
outstanding common stock was controlled by one family giving them
effective power to control the vote on substantially all significant
matters without the approval of other stockholders.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, management provided office
space, telephone service, and computer usage to the Company.
Management has estimated a percentage of usage of the resources to
calculate and record the expenses and believes this estimate to be
reasonable. Any difference between this estimate and the cost of
resources if procured on a stand alone basis is considered immaterial.
The amount allocated, charged to expense and equity for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 equates to $300.

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
NOTE 4 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company beginning January
1, 2008 with no impact on the Company's financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. "SFAS 161 is intended
to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and
hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable
investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 with no impact on the Company's
financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, "Subsequent Events"
("SFAS 165"), which establishes general standards of accounting for,
and requires disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. SFAS 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and have evaluated any subsequent
events through the date of this filing. We do not believe there are
any material subsequent events which would require further disclosure.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 168, The
"FASB Accounting Standards Codification" and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard replaces SFAS
No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
and establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), authoritative and nonauthoritative. The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") will become the
source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative
GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the Codification will become
nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements
for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15,
2009. We will begin to use the new guidelines and numbering system
prescribed by the Codification when referring to GAAP in the third
quarter of fiscal 2009. As the Codification was not intended to change
or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on our financial
statements
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet
adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if
any, on its consolidated results of operation, financial position or
cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of
these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its
consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's plan of operations for the next 12 months is to continue with
its current efforts in the screenplay competition arena. Hangman has been
involved in the film production and management industry, primarily focused on
seeking out undiscovered screenwriters, and developing a pipeline between
talented screenwriters and the Hollywood film-making community. Hangman will
seek to continue providing opportunities for emerging screenwriters and
developing relationships within both the screenwriting and the film-making
community. Hangman is seeking to increase its exposure within the screenplay
contest community based on the continued growth of the Company's
Screenplay Shootout!
Hangman will continue hosting screenplay contests in 2009. The Company
commenced its latest iteration of Screenplay Shootout on July 1, 2009. The
contest will run through February 15, 2010. The Company's management is hopeful
that the Company can generate significant revenue through contest submission
fees and sponsor participation. This year's sponsor participation includes three
companies involved in the screenwriting industry. The Company has also developed
relationships with approximately 20 literary producers, managers and agents who
have agreed to consider the top five finalists of this year's Screenplay
Shootout for representation and development. The Company feels that the
participation by the sponsor and producers, managers and agents will provide
greater exposure and interest for this year's Screenplay Shootout. For more
information on the Screenplay Shootout visit www.screenplayshootout.com.
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 June 30, 2009, resulted in a net loss of
$7,770. The Basic Loss per Share for the three month period ended June 30, 2009
was ($0.01). Details of changes in revenues and expenses can be found below.
All prior period financial figures provided for comparison purposes will be
derived from continuing operations data.
OPERATING RESULTS - REVENUES
The Company has not generated a profit since inception. The Company
generated a net loss of $7,770 and no revenue for the period ended June 30,
2009. For the period ended June 30, 2008 the Company generated a net loss of
$20,430 on no revenue. The Company was unable to generate revenue in either
period due to the timing on the Company's screenplay contests. The Company's
current screenplay contest, the Screenplay Shootout began July 1, 2009.
The Company will not provide any forecasts of future earnings or
profitability. The future success of the Company cannot be ascertained with any
certainty, and if and until the Company obtains distribution of its film
projects, no such forecast or guidance will be formulated or provided.
7
OPERATING RESULTS - COST OF SALES
Cost of sales was $0 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 and
June 30, 2008. The Company did not generate revenue for the period ended March
31, 2009 or June 30, 2008, and therefore did not incur any expenses related to
revenue.
OPERATING RESULTS - OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was
$6,684 compared with $13,181 for the period ended June 30, 2008. Operating
expenses included director compensation, professional fees, and general
administrative expenses.
- The Company's professional fees include accounting, legal and website
maintenance fees. The net professional expenses incurred in the three month
period ended June 30, 2009 totaled $3,326. In comparison the net
professional expenses incurred in the three month period ended June 30,
2008 totaled $12,318. The Company's professional expenses were
significantly higher in the prior year period due to the implementation of
Sarbanes Oxley. The Company estimates that for the fiscal year accounting
expenses will be approximately $8,000, legal expenses will be approximately
$5,000 and website maintenance fees will be approximately $1,500.
- The Company incurred $300 in rent for the three month period ended June
30, 2009 and 2008.
- Other general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended was
approximately $383 compared to $563 for the same period a year prior. The
difference between the two periods is not deemed material.
- Marketing expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was
$2,675 compared to $0 in the prior year period. Marketing expenses
increased significantly over the prior period due to the expenses incurred
with marketing the Company's screenplay contest and website. Marketing
expenses were paid to promote the Screenplay Shootout and generate traffic
to the Company's site in anticipation of the Company's contest and to help
promote through the conclusion of the contest that commenced July 1, 2009.
OPERATING RESULTS - INTEREST EXPENSES
The Company incurred $1,086 in interest expense for the quarter ended June
30, 2009 and $1,205 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in
interest for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was due to a lower Note
Payable balance due to a shareholder. On August 13, 2008 the Company paid
$10,000 toward the Note Payable balance.
LIQUIDITY
As of June 30, 2009, the Company maintained a cash balance of $1,574, and
an outstanding balance of $17,084 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The
Company also has a note payable to the Company's President and a shareholder in
the amount of $47,480. The Company had no inventory as of June 30, 2009.
The Company's $1,574 cash balance as of June 30, 2009 is not sufficient to
cover the Company's general expenses of operation for the next twelve months.
The Company's management will continue to advance the Company monies not to
exceed $100,000, 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. If the Company needs funds in excess of $100,000, 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 opportunities to enhance the value of the
Company and its profitability.
