OBN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2006
NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
OBN Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America has
been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 2008. It is suggested that the consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Background and Organization
OBN Holdings, Inc. ("OBNI" or the "Company") is a holding company with
operations in entertainment, commodity trading, plastics recycling and
intelligent traffic systems industries. Moreover, the Company is
internationally diversified with subsidiaries in China, Japan and the United
States. As a holding company its primary objective is to identify and acquire
profitable small to medium sized companies as subsidiaries, then manage the
subsidiaries growth and development.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada in 2003 as the holding company for
three wholly owned entertainment operating subsidiaries: Omni Broadcasting
Network ("OMNI"), Eclectic Entertainment ("Eclectic") and Products On Demand
Channel ("POD"). Omni was incorporated in January 2001 as a television
broadcast company. Eclectic Entertainment was incorporated July 2002 as a
motion picture and television production company. Products On Demand Channel
was incorporated in December 2002 as a broadcast television network
specializing in providing airtime to independent producers and companies
seeking to market their products on television. In August 2003, the Company
acquired the KSSY television broadcast license. In February 2004, OBN
acquired the name and program library of All Sports Television Network
("ASTN"), which began broadcast operations as a fourth subsidiary in July
2005. In January 2007 the Company began development of its Film Hook internet
broadcasting operations. In October 2007 the OBN Holdings Hong Kong subsidiary
was incorporated. In February 2008, the company signed an agreement to
broadcast its film and television properties over the broadband internet. In
March 2008 the Company entered the plastics recycling industry by acquiring
the exclusive North American rights to Chinese proprietary technology that
allows "unrecyclable plastics" to be recycled. In March 2008 the Company
entered the intelligent traffic systems industry by acquiring the exclusive
North American rights to Chinese patents that captures video and still
pictures of traffic violations real time. In June 2008 the Company acquired
Kyodo USA, a commodity trading firm that provides products to Japan from
Mexico.
Segment Information Reporting
Management measures the Company's performance in two distinct segments: (1)
Broadcasting Operations for which performance is measured by the number of
consumer households reached (coverage), program ratings, and the types of
advertisers attracted by such coverage and ratings; and (2) Production
Operations, for which performance is measured by distribution sales resulting
from creative talent. Productions typically require a longer lead-time to
determine success.
A summary of the segments for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is
presented in the tables below:
As of and for six months ended December 31, 2007:

Net Income (loss) (66,251) (36,325) (224,008) -- (326,584)
*Expenses include operating expenses, interest expense and cost of sales.
Reconciling items consist of intercompany balances. Balance sheet reconciling
amounts consist primarily of corporate-level loans to subsidiaries and the
elimination of intercompany receivables/payables. All revenues are from
customers in the United States and all long-lived assets are located in the
United States.
There was $0 of outstanding receivables as of December 31, 2007. For the six
month periods ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 there were no
sales.
Fixed Assets
Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are provided using the
straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Machinery and equipment 3-5 years
Leasehold improvements Life of lease
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as
incurred. Additions and betterments to fixed assets are capitalized. When
assets are disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation and
amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
included in operations.
Other Long-Lived Assets
The Filmhook internet portal asset is discussed in Note 3. The portal is an
indefinite life intellectual property. The property is subject annual
impairment analysis.
The programming rights assets are discussed in Note 4. Programming rights are
recorded for the purchase of the right to air programming on the Company's
networks. An asset is recorded for the programming rights when the license
period begins. These rights are amortized to expense over the expected useful
life of the programming, as the Company has the right to unlimited
broadcasting of the programming.
The film library is discussed in Note 5. These assets are being amortized
over their estimated useful life of 10 years.
Intangible Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives not be
amortized but rather be tested at least annually for impairment, and
intangible assets that have finite useful lives be amortized over their
useful lives. In addition, SFAS No. 142 expands the disclosure requirements
about goodwill and other intangible assets in the years subsequent to their
acquisition.
SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and intangible
assets that will not be amortized (i.e., the Company's Filmhook internet
portal) for impairment. The internet portal is subject to impairment reviews
by applying a fair-value-based test at the reporting unit level, which
generally represents operations one level below the segments reported by the
Company. An impairment loss will be recorded for any portion of the internet
portal that is determined to be impaired. The Company performs impairment
testing on its internet portal at least annually. Based on its analysis, the
Company's management believes that no impairment of the carrying value of its
internet portal existed at December 31, 2007. There can be no assurance
however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company's
products and services will continue which could result in impairment of its
broadcast license in the future.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company's management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets
by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets
over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted
future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment is measured
based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which
long-lived asset impairment is determined by management. During the quarter
ended September 30, 2005 the Company recorded an impairment change of
$18,092. During the quarter ending June 30, 2007 the Company recorded
impairment of $130,000. Based on its analysis, the Company believes that no
additional impairment of the carrying value of its long lived assets existed
at December 31, 2007. There can be no assurance, however, that market
conditions will not change which could result in additional impairment of
its long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue From Licensing TV Programs and Feature Films
The Company has completed several projects that can be licensed, and
additional projects are underway. As projects are completed, the Company
will have the option of airing the TV programs on its own network and/or
licensing the programs to be aired on other networks. Likewise, feature films
can be licensed to foreign markets for distribution. Thus, among the revenue
sources are other networks in the case of TV projects or foreign markets for
feature films.
A licensing agreement that specifies the license fee, availability dates
and/or agreement duration is required for all projects licensed. Licensing
fees are typically paid in advance of providing the project to the customer.
Upon receipt of payment, deferred revenue is recorded. Revenue is recognized
as the project is aired over the life of the agreement. The Company does not
recognize revenue for projects that are not completed, even if the licensing
agreement for the project is signed. The revenue is recognized only after
both the production of the product is completed and is aired in accordance
with the signed agreement.
Revenue Sharing With Program Licensors
Some programs will be obtained by paying a licensing fee. Additionally, some
licenses will be obtained via a cash-plus-barter arrangement, where the
Company airs the program for a contracted number of times and grants the
licensor a negotiated number of unsold advertising slots. SFAS No. 63,
"Financial Reporting by Broadcasters," sets forth accounting and reporting
standards for the broadcast industry. Under a cash-plus-barter arrangement,
the Company recognizes a licensing asset at the estimated fair value of the
programming received. The difference between the cash paid (obligation
incurred) for the license and its fair value is recorded as a liability
(deferred barter revenue), as the license is received before the broadcast
of the licensor-provided commercials. As the licensor-provided commercials
are aired, barter revenue is recognized ratably based on the recorded fair
value of the barter transaction in relation to the total granted licensor-
provided commercials.
For cash purchases and revenue sharing, as rights are acquired, the programs
are recorded as assets and are amortized as the programs are aired over the
network. For agreements with unlimited airing of a program the asset is
amortized over the license period (see above).
Revenue from Advertising (and Paid Programming)
Advertising and paid programming revenue are recognized as the
commercials/programs are aired. For small advertisers that must pay for
services in advance, upon receipt of the payment, the signed contract and the
tapes, deferred revenue is recorded. Deferred revenue is recognized as
revenue when the commercial is aired.
Bartering with Affiliate Stations
Under a cash-plus-barter arrangement, the Company provides a specified amount
of cash, the programming content and a specified number of program advertising
slots to affiliate stations. In exchange the affiliate agrees to broadcast
the program to its subscriber households. The cash fee paid to affiliates is
recorded as a reduction of revenue as the Company pays this fee to affiliates
in lieu of accepting fewer advertising slots to be sold and recognized as
revenue.
Accounting for Filmed Entertainment and Television Programming Costs
In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position ("SOP") 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors
of Films", filmed entertainment costs will include capitalizable production
costs, overhead and interest costs expected to benefit future periods.
These costs, as well as participations and talent residuals, will be
recognized as operating expenses on an individual film basis in the ratio
that the current year's gross revenues bear to management's estimate of total
ultimate gross revenues from all sources. Marketing and development costs
under term deals will be expensed as incurred.
Filmed entertainment costs are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or
estimated fair value on an individual film or television series basis.
Revenue forecasts for both motion pictures and television products are
continually reviewed by management and revised when warranted by changing
conditions. When estimates of total revenues and other events or changes in
circumstances indicate that a television production has a fair value that is
less than its unamortized cost, a loss will be recognized for the amount by
which the unamortized cost exceeds television production's fair value.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the quarters ending December
31, 2007 and 2006, the Company's had no advertising costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
Through September 30, 2007, the Company accounts for equity instruments
issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting
for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring,
or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. All transactions in which
goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity
instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration
received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more
reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value
of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the
third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that
performance will occur.
SFAS No. 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost
related to stock and stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic
method accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25,
compensation cost, if any, is recognized over the respective vesting period
based on the difference, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the
Company's common stock and the grant price. Entities electing to remain with
the accounting method of APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income
and earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in
SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company will
account for employee options granted under this plan under the recognition
and measurement principles of APB 25, and related interpretations. No stock-
based employee compensation cost is reflected in the consolidated statements
of operations, as all employee warrants previously granted had no intrinsic
value, and no new employee options or warrants were granted for the quarter
ended December 31, 2007. There is also no pro forma impact of these warrants
as they have no fair value under SFAS No. 123.
Effective July 1, 2006, on the first day of the Company's fiscal year 2007,
the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
"Share-Based Payment", using the modified-prospective transition method.
Under this transition method, compensation cost includes: (a) compensation
cost for all share-based payments granted and not yet vested prior to July 1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-
based payments granted subsequent to June 30, 2006 based on the grant-date
fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).
SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and
revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ
from those estimates. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no options
outstanding and therefore believes the adoption of SFAS 123(R) to have an
immaterial effect on the accompanying financial statements.
The Company calculates stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value
of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company's
determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards are made as of
their respective dates of grant using the option pricing model and that
determination is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions
regarding the number of subjective variables. These variables include, but
are not limited to, the Company's expected stock price volatility over the
term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise
behavior. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in
estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging
restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company's employee
stock options have certain characteristics that are significantly different
from traded options, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate
measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options. Although
the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with
SFAS No. 123(R) using an option-pricing model, that value may not be
indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market
transaction. The calculated compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures,
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the option.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of SFAS
No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS
No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is
more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through
future operations. The Company is a subchapter "C" corporation and files a
consolidated federal income tax return. The Company files separate state
income tax returns for California and Nevada.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (see Note 9).
Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming all
dilutive potential common shares were issued. Basic and diluted loss per
share are the same as the effect of stock options and warrants on loss per
share are anti-dilutive and thus not included in the diluted loss per share
calculation. The impact of dilutive convertible debt and stock options and
warrants would not have resulted in an increase in incremental shares for the
six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 157,
Fair Value Measurements. This standard defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but
emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-
specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined
based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions
in fair value measurements, this Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy
that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based
on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity
(observable inputs) and (2) the reporting entity's own assumptions about
market participant assumptions developed based on the best information
available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The effective date of
this standard is for fiscal period beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company has determined that adoption of SFAS 157 will not result in any
additional expense as it will not change the Company's current practices.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 159,
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This
standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This
Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is
consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting
for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning
of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Thus,
it will be applicable to the Company's June 30, 2008 10K filing.
In September 2007 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141r,
Business Combinations. It is a revision to the FASB's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and will
effect how companies approach financial planning and reporting around business
combinations. SFAS 141r requires recognition for in-process R&D as assets at
fair value; transaction cost to be expensed, contingent consideration to be
measured at fair value; reacquired assets to be recorded as identifiable
intangible asset; assets held for sale to be measured at fair value; and
contingencies to be recognized at fair value. The Company has determined that
the adoption of SFAS 141r will require it to analyze additional aspects in
future potential acquisitions and possibly incur additional expense. SFAS 141R
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Thus, this
standard will affect the Company's June 30, 2009 10K filing.
In July 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109). This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This
Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. FIN 48 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006. The Company has adopted of FIN 48 among its current practices.
In December 2007 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 160,
Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements. The objective
of this Statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency
of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its
consolidated financial statements. It requires that the ownership interests
in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified,
labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position
within equity, but separate from the parent's equity. Further, it requires
that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent be
clearly identified, accounted for consistently, and that changes of interests
be disclosed. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any; the adoption of SFAS
No. 160 will have on its operating income or net earnings.
In March 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement changes the disclosure requirements
for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after November 15, 2008, Thus, this standard will become applicable our
December 31, 2008 quarterly filing. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact, if any; the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on its reporting
requirements

GENERAL OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited statements of
operations and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
and the related notes thereto as well as the audited financial statements of
the Company for the year ended June 30, 2007. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks
and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.
The Company cautions readers that important facts and factors described in
this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations and elsewhere in this document sometimes have affected, and in
the future could affect, the Company's actual results, and could cause the
Company's actual results during 2007-08 and beyond to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of,
the Company.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements:
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance
for doubtful accounts is based on specific identification of customer
accounts and our best estimate of the likelihood of potential loss, taking
into account such factors as the financial condition and payment history of
major customers. We evaluate the collectibility of our receivables at least
quarterly. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional
allowances may be required. The differences could be material and could
significantly impact our operating results.
Intangible Assets
We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill
and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives not be amortized but
rather be tested at least annually for impairment, and intangible assets that
have finite useful lives be amortized over their useful lives. In addition,
SFAS No. 142 expands the disclosure requirements about goodwill and other
intangible assets in the years subsequent to their acquisition.
SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and intangible
assets that will not be amortized (i.e., the Company's broadcast, plastics
recycling and intelligent traffic system licenses) for impairment. The
licenses are subject to impairment reviews by applying a fair-value-based
test at the reporting unit level, which generally represents operations one
level below the segments reported by the Company. An impairment loss will be
recorded for any portion of the licenses that is determined to be impaired.
We perform impairment testing on our licenses at least annually. The
broadcast license was fully impaired in June 2007 as a result of dispute over
the sale of the license.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We continue to assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by
determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets
over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted
future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment is measured
based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which
long-lived asset impairment is determined by management.
Revenue Recognition
1) Revenue from licensing TV programs and feature films can come from several
sources. As projects are completed, we will have the option of airing the
TV programs on our own Internet broadcasting channels and/or licensing the
programs to be aired on other networks. Likewise, feature films can be
licensed to foreign markets for distribution. Thus, among the revenue
sources are other networks in the case of short form programming or
foreign markets for feature films.
A licensing agreement that specifies the license fee, availability dates
and/or agreement duration is required for all projects licensed. Licensing
fees are typically paid in advance of providing the project to the customer.
Upon receipt of payment, deferred revenue is recorded. Revenue is
Recognized as the project is aired over the life of the agreement. We do
not recognize revenue for projects that are not been completed, even if
the licensing agreement for the project is signed. The revenue is
recognized only after both the production product is completed and in
accordance with the product availability dates in a signed agreement.
2) Revenue can also result from "revenue sharing" with program licensors. Some
programs will be obtained by paying a licensing fee. Additionally, some
licenses will be obtained via a cash-plus-barter arrangement, where we air
the program for a contracted number of times and, in consideration for the
programming, the licensor receives a specified number of advertising
minutes. SFAS No. 63, Financial Reporting by Broadcasters, sets forth
accounting and reporting standards for the broadcast industry. Under a
cash-plus-barter arrangement, we recognize a licensing asset at the
estimated fair value of the programming received. The difference between
the cash paid (obligation incurred) for the license and its fair value is
recorded as a liability (deferred barter revenue), as the license is
received before the broadcast of the licensor-provided commercials. As the
licensor-provided commercials are aired, barter revenue is recognized
ratably based on the recorded fair value of the barter transaction in
relation to the total granted licensor-provided commercials.
For cash purchases and revenue sharing, as rights are acquired, the
Programs are recorded as assets and are amortized as the programs are
aired over the network. For agreements with unlimited airing of a program
the asset is amortized over the license period.
3) Revenue can be generated from advertising and paid programming. Advertising
and paid programming revenue are recognized as the commercials/programs are
aired. For small advertisers that must pay for services in advance, upon
receipt of the payment, the signed contract and the tapes, deferred revenue
is recorded. Deferred revenue is recognized as sales when the commercial is
aired.
4) Revenue is recognized from commodity trading operations after the order is
received and the Company invoices the customer. At that time the
commodities have been already purchased from our supplier and are on their
way to the customer. Similarly, revenue generated from plastic raw material
sales is recognized when the customer is invoiced.
5) Revenue generated from intelligent traffic system operations is recognized
when municipalities are invoiced.
Deferred Taxes
We record a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the
amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered
estimated future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in
assessing the amount needed for the valuation allowance. Based on these
estimates, all of our deferred tax assets have been reserved. If actual
results differ favorably from those estimates used, we may be able to realize
all or part of our net deferred tax assets. Such realization could positively
impact our operating results and cash flows from operating activities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2007 the Company's current liabilities of $1,831,555
exceeded current assets of $650,525 by $1,211,030. Approximately 16% of
current liabilities represent accrued payroll for executives who have opted to
defer taking salaries until additional funding is received. A portion of the
payroll shall be paid once a private stock sale is completed. At the board of
directors meeting held January 10, 2006, the outside directors approved a
resolution allowing executives who have deferred their salaries to convert any
or all amounts due that exceed $50,000. The conversion price was $1.00 per
share, or market value of the common stock, whichever was greater. As a
result, $200,000 of accrued salaries was converted into 200,000 shares in
January 2006. In December 2006 another $727,369 of accrued salaries were
converted into 1,091,051 shares. In March 2007 another $125,655 of accrued
salaries were converted into 158,988 shares. In April 2007, a total of 675,000
shares valued at $1.20 each was issued to executives as special hardship for
working without salaries for the past four years. These amounts are being held
in Company's Non Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.
Management's believes that the acquisition of Kyodo USA in June 2008 addresses
any future liquidity issues because of its strong cash flow and cash balances
in its bank accounts. In addition, the Company continues to raise additional
capital through equity financing sources. However, no assurance can be given
that additional capital will be available when required or upon terms
acceptable to the Company. The Company intends to raise additional funds
through a S-1 filing and anticipates implementing its business plan to expand
its acquisition and development plans.
The liquidity issues for each segment are addressed below.
Entertainment Operations
- ------------------------
The liquidity issues that have plagued our broadcasting operations have been
resolved by terminating our television broadcasts and satellite uplink. Thus,
the Company no longer has expenses for television affiliate stations and
satellite uplink. Instead, the Company has entered the Internet broadband
broadcasting industry by signing an agreement with an established Internet
network in February 2008. Under this agreement, the Company provides the
programming content and channel scheduling while the Internet Network covers
all related broadcasting costs, including costs for advertising sales and
technical support. The Company receives 60% of all generated revenues. As a
result our broadcast costs have been substantially reduced while our programs
now reach a worldwide market.
Liquidity for the television and film production operations remains
essentially unchanged. There are several television production projects
underway at various stages of development. These projects will be completed
with funds from OBN operations. The Company will seek project investors for
all future projects. Adopting this project funding practice will allow the
Company to realize revenues from licensing agreements, syndication agreements
and advertising without using much of its own funds. Again, the Company
anticipates investing very little of OBN funds into new television and film
projects, instead investor funds will be obtained.
Plastics Recycling Operations
- -----------------------------
Liquidity is not a major concern for the plastic recycling operations that
began as a result of acquiring the proprietary technology license in February
2008. The Company will not require cash until it begins its own plastic
recycling operation using the exclusive technology license. In order to
generate cash, the Company will sell raw materials to the Chinese facility
from which the exclusive license agreement was acquired. At the same time,
the Company is looking to acquire a plastic recycling facility in North
America. After the acquisition is completed, the Company will be able to
exploit the exclusive recycling technology license.
Intelligent Traffic Systems Operations
- --------------------------------------
Liquidity is not a major concern for the intelligent traffic systems
operations that began as a result of acquiring the proprietary technology
license in February 2008. The Company is bidding on traffic system
installation projects at municipalities throughout North American. As
contracts are awarded, the Company will engage the Chinese company that owns
the proprietary technology to supervise the installation. Little cash is
required during the bidding process. We anticipate installation of the first
system in North America within the next eighteen (18) months. In addition,
some traffic systems units will be sold without installation responsibility,
thus requiring no cash other than sales expenses.
Commodity Trading Operations
- ----------------------------
There are no liquidity issues related to the commodity trading operations
that were acquired in June 2008 as Kyodo USA has adequate cash flow. In fact,
the Company anticipates that some of the excess cash from these operations
will support other OBN operations via intercompany transfers.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. Although the Company believes that
the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, there are risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results to differ materially from expectations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as define in Rule 131-15(e) and 15d-15(c)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is routinely conducted.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out
an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO")and
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO) of the effectiveness of the Company's
disclosure" controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO
and CFO concluded that the design and operations of these disclosure
controls and procedures were effective. Our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material
information relating to the Company's (or the Company's consolidated
subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic filing
with the SEC, subject to the various limitations on the effectiveness set
forth below. Information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed
in SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management, including our CEO and CFO, as
appropriated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no
change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of internal controls
The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial
reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
effort or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the internal control. The design of any system of
controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over
time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and/or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
