ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the preceding financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements,
which are based on our assumptions about the future of our business. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained
in the forward-looking statements.
Company Overview:
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the preceding financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements,
which are based on our assumptions about the future of our business. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained
in the forward-looking statements.
We are an independent motion picture production company engaged
in developing, financing, producing and licensing theatrical motion pictures with budgets in the range of $2 million to $15 million
for exhibition in domestic (i.e. the United States and Canada) and foreign theatrical markets and for subsequent
post-theatrical worldwide release in other forms of media, including DVD, home video, pay-per-view, and free television. Our pictures
have in the last few years received only a limited theatrical release (50-300 theaters in the United States), or may even
be released directly to post-theatrical markets, primarily DVD. Our pictures that receive limited theatrical release or post-theatrical
release typically benefit from lower prints and advertising (“P & A”) cost and, in turn, improved gross profit
margins.
We determine the size of a theatrical release in the United
States based on distributor and our estimates of the commercial prospects of theatrical box office and our own evaluation of the
level of expected theatrical release costs as opposed to our estimation of potential theatrical box office in the United States.
No one picture had a principal or controlling share of gross
revenues or operating profits in these periods.
We also are now in the business of producing and distributing
recorded music and, as of July 1 2012, our post-production facility at 807 Esplanade in New Orleans commenced operations.
Film Company
We license distribution rights in our motion pictures in the
United States and in most foreign territories prior to and during the production or upon the acquisition of rights to distribute
a picture. We share in the commissions generated by the sales of the pictures. Sale of a license to distribute a motion picture
prior to its delivery is termed a “pre-sale” and may occur at any time during the development and production process.
In a typical license agreement, we license a picture to a distributor before it is produced or completed for an advance from the
licensee, which advance is recoverable by the distributor from our share of the revenues generated by the distribution of the
picture in the licensee’s territory, after deduction of the distributor’s expenses and distributor fee. The advance
usually is in the form of a cash deposit plus a letter of credit or “bank letter” for the balance payable 10-20% on
execution (i.e., the cash deposit) and the balance on delivery (i.e., the letter of credit or “bank
letter”). The license grants the distributor the right to the post-theatrical release of the picture in all or certain media
in their territory for a predetermined time period. After this time, the distribution rights revert back to us and we are then
free to re-license the picture. The license specifies that the distributor is entitled to recoup its advance from the revenue
generated by the release of the picture in all markets in its territory, as well as its release costs and distribution fees.
After the distributor has recouped its advance, costs, and
fees, any remaining revenue is shared with us according to a predetermined formula. This is known as an “overage”
and can be a significant source of revenue for us from successful films. However, a film’s poor reception in one market
does not preclude it from achieving success in another market and generating significant additional revenue for us in the form
of an “overage” in that territory. In all of our licensing arrangements, we retain ownership of our films and maintain
our control of each copyright. We intend to continue the practice of retaining underlying rights to our film projects in order
to continue to build our motion picture library to license or sell in the future.
We create a separate finance plan for each motion picture we
produce. Accordingly, the sources of the funds for production of each motion picture vary according to each finance plan. We utilize
financing based on state and foreign country tax credits (e.g., Louisiana, United Kingdom and Hungary) and direct
subsidies, “mezzanine” or “gap” funds, which are senior to our equity, and senior secured financing with
commercial banks or private lenders, together in certain cases with a limited investment from us, which is customarily less than
10% of the production budget. Since each finance plan is unique to each motion picture, we cannot generalize as to the amount
we will utilize any of these sources of funds for a particular motion picture. We generally obtain some advances or guarantees
prior to commitment to production of a motion picture project, but those amounts may not be substantial on smaller budgeted motion
picture (e.g., under $10,000,000), and in certain cases we have committed to production with an insubstantial amount
of advances and guarantees. Unless we can manage the risks of production through the use of these financing techniques, we will
not likely commit to production of larger budget motion pictures (e.g., over $15,000,000), and we have never in
the past committed to such productions, without substantial advances or guarantees from third-party distributors, or the equivalent
in “non-recourse” financings.
Music Company
Seven Arts Music Inc. (“SAM”) became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company on February 23, 2012, although start -up costs had been incurred as early as September 2011. The delivery
of the first of the DMX albums acquired from David Michery was released on September 11, 2012 and initial costs in creating the
first album for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are being incurred for delivery in February, 2013. Several other new artists are being considered
by SAM. The agreements under which SAM acquired its music assets were effective as of September 29, 2011 (Big Jake
Music) and December 19, 2011 (Michery Assets) publicly announced and business activities commenced on those dates, but definitive
agreements were not executed until February 23, 2012.
Post-Production Facility
As of June 30, 2012, SAFELA was transferred to the Company.
SAFELA, which is 60% owned by the Company, has a 30 year lease to run a production and post-production facility at 807 Esplanade
Avenue in New Orleans. The facility commenced operations on July 1, 2012.
Company Outlook
The principal factors that affected our results of operations
have been:
|
1. |
the number of motion pictures and recorded music delivered in a fiscal period, |
|
2. |
the distribution rights of motion pictures and recorded music produced by others acquired in a fiscal period, |
|
3. |
the choice of motion pictures and recorded music produced or acquired by us, |
|
4. |
management’s and talents’ execution of the screenplay and production plan for each picture and recorded music the distribution and market reactions to the motion pictures and recorded music once completed, |
|
5. |
management’s ability to obtain financing and to re-negotiate financing on beneficial terms, |
|
6. |
the performance of our third-party distributors and |
|
7. |
our ability to take advantage of tax-incentivized financing. |
These factors will continue to be, in our opinion, the principal
factors affecting future results of operation and our future financial condition. No particular factor has had a primary or principal
effect on our operations and financial condition in the periods discussed below.
Our revenues principally consist of amounts we earned from
third-party distributors of our motion pictures and recorded music. We recognize revenue from license fees as and when a motion
picture is delivered to the territory to which the license relates if we have a contractual commitment and the term of license
has begun or upon receipt of a royalty statement or other reliable information from a distributor of the amounts due to us from
distribution of that picture. A motion picture is “delivered” when we have completed all aspects of production and
may make playable copies of the motion picture for exhibition in a medium of exhibition such as theatrical, video, or television
distribution.
We also recognize revenue beyond an initial license fee from
our share of gross receipts on motion pictures which we recognize as revenue when we are notified of the amounts that are due
to us. In some fiscal periods, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from sources other than motion picture distribution,
including the cancellation of debt and interest income on a financing transaction.
We have also benefited significantly from our ability to raise
third party film equity investments such as in tax advantaged transactions under which we transfer to third party investor’s
tax benefits for motion picture production and distribution. These types of investments have enabled us to substantially reduce
the cost basis of our motion pictures and even to record significant fee-related revenues.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
for the Year Ended June 30, 2013 Compared To Year Ended
June 30, 2012
As noted in the accompanying financial statements in Note 15,
the Company has restated the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, to correct certain errors. The errors included reclassifications
of certain amounts that had previously been categorized as “one time change in estimate” to properly be included in
cost of revenues, timing differences between years, and corrections in the application of GAAP on certain complex transactions.
Please see the detailed discussion and schedule in Note 16. All restated amounts are reflected in the discussion of Results of
Operations below.
Revenue
Our total revenues decreased from $4,058,006(Restated) for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 to $1,522,808 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Film revenues were basically the same in
each year and the Music revenue of $574,434, as well as the $106,417 in Post Production revenue, is new to the Company in 2013.
However, the 2012 revenue figure included net fee income of $3,235,000(Restated) earned from SAPLA related to the post-production
facility located at 807 Esplanade in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Fee Income from related party in 2012 represented services provided
in connection with direction of the rehabilitation of the post production facility as well as consulting in process of obtaining
certain Federal and State tax credits. See Note 4 in the accompanying financial statements for a more detailed discussion of the
revenue earned.
Revenues derived from the licensing
and distribution of motion pictures increased marginally from $823,006 in the previous fiscal year to $841,956 in this fiscal
year. The majority of 2013 revenue consisted of the US and Brazilian release of “Nine Miles Down” and “Drunkboat”
and a spread of film royalties relating to our film library and $183,000 from settlement of litigation with MGM over “Deal”
and Sony with “Johnny Mnemonic”.
The majority of 2012 sales included international sales royalties
from movies such as “The Pool Boys,”, “Deal,” “Autopsy,”, “Nine Miles Down” and
“Night of the Demons.”
In the 2013 year the music division recorded gross revenues
of $1,027,645, reduced by a provision for returns of $470,811, from the release of the first DMX album.
Costs of Revenue
Costs of revenue decreased from $14,389,888 (Restated) in the
fiscal year ended June 30 2012 to $12,421,711 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Costs of Revenues in both years consist predominately
of amortization and impairment of film and music costs .
The amortization charge represents the amortization of the
film assets calculated as the portion of the current year revenue compared to management’s estimate of the ultimate future
revenue from the films. The amortization of unamortized Film costs in 2013 related to revenue recognized on the films, “Nine
Miles Down”and “Deal”. For 2012 the amortization related to revenue recognized on the films “Pool Boys”,”Nine
Miles Down” and “Night of the Demons”.
In accordance with our policies, management reviewed the future
ultimates on the films in release or production, and adjusted them for actual sales and feedback and orders from the various film
markets the Company attends. These adjusted ultimate estimations are then used in determining if any impairments are necessary
to recognize. This evaluation resulted in Impairment costs recognized of $2,054,171 in fiscal year 2013 made and $6,459,298 (restated)
in fiscal year 2012.
A write down of $2,837,545 was taken against development costs
in fiscal year 2013 upon review of the capitalized development costs, in accordance with ASC 926 and our accounting policy, to
ensure all “abandoned” costs which management has determined no longer apply to viable development projects.
Consequently, the Group recorded a gross loss of $10,898,903
in the year-ended June 30, 2013 compared to a gross loss of $10,331,882 (Restated) in the year-ended June 30, 2012
General & Administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased to $7,289,919,
in the fiscal year ended June 30 2013 from $2,558,620 in the previous year.
$3,582,919 of the G&A expenses in 2013 is bad debt expense,
which includes a $1,180,000 reserve recognized for the Fee Income receivables due from related party, due to some delays in SAPLA
receiving their State tax credit (please see more detailed discussion in Note 4 in accompanying financial statements), and $1,868,547
determined to no longer be collectible due from SAP, Inc., a related party, due to its’ current parent company, PLC,
being in liquidation.
In 2013, the full operation of the music division has added
$356,061 to the general and administration expenses and the new post production operation has increased these costs by $197,430,
plus building improvement amortization of $164,526.
| · | Legal
and professional costs
were increased substantially
in the current year to
$1,504,763 from $879,503
in the prior year. This
consists of increased attorney
fees related to our ongoing
and new litigation discussed
in detail previously in
the Litigation section.
Additional legal fees were
also incurred in connection
with increased volume of
conversions and share activity
requiring legal opinions. |
| · | There has been an accrual of $350,000 for a judgment for the Company to pay legal fees on Jones Film
(see Litigation section above) |
| · | Rent and office costs increased by almost $190,000 in the year due to the music division and the post production facility.
Management have taken action and closed down the UK office and merged the music division into the original US office to bring overhead
back in line |
| · | Wages and salaries have reduced by approximately $182,000 during the year as the London office was closed and the US office
was downsized plus the music team were reduced substantially and the few that are left are now consultants not employees which
accounts for the increase in consultancy charges year on year (Approximately $102,000). |
| · | Approximately $528,000 less overhead was capitalized to movies in the 2013 fiscal year than the comparable period in 2012 |
Net interest expense increased from $2,752,681 to $4,227,472,
resulting from increased loan balances and some penalties in negotiating extended terms. The 2013 interest expense also includes
amounts related to SAFELA for the mortgage and construction loan not included in 2012..
Other income in 2012 includes forgiveness of debt income previously
charged in 2011 in error. See Note 16 on restatement of accounts.
We recorded no tax provision in the fiscal year ended June 30,
2012, because we had no taxable income.
As result of the aforementioned results, we recorded a net
loss of $ 22,062,539 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013
compared to a net loss of $11,153,463 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
for the Year Ended June 30, 2012 (Restated) Compared To Year
Ended June 30, 2011
Our total revenues increased from $3,328,388 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2011 to $4,058,006 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. This increase principally relates to the fee income
earned from SAPLA related to the production/post-production facility located at 807 Esplanade in New Orleans, Louisiana, offset
by reduced film revenue. The Fee income – related party revenue of $3,235,000 represents services provided in
connection with direction of the rehabilitation of the post production facility as well as consulting in process of obtaining certain
Federal and State tax credits. See Note 4 in the accompanying financial statements for a more detailed discussion of the revenue
earned.
Revenues derived from the licensing and distribution of motion
pictures decreased from $2,758,359 in the previous fiscal year to $823,006 in this fiscal year, due to a decrease in sales on
the motion pictures Deal and American Summer. The digital release of Pool Boys (American Summer) in the Autumn of 2011 was less
than management expectation.
Fee-related revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011
derived from:
|
a) |
Producer’s fees of $70,029 resulting from excess tax credits received on Night of the Demons. |
|
|
|
|
b) |
$500,000 of production fees related to the production and preproduction of three films in Louisiana. |
There are no such revenues in the fiscal year ended to June
30, 2012.
Costs of revenue increased from $3,447,996 to $14,389,888(Restated)
including certain distribution costs, producers’ costs and other third party payments, and amortization of film costs of
$3,996,576 and Film cost impairment of $6,459,248 and Music cost impairment of $3,035,000. The amortization charge represents
the amortization of the film assets calculated as the portion of the current year revenue compared to management’s estimate
of the ultimate future revenue from the films. The Impairment is a result of our evaluation of the ultimate future revenue on the
films in release or production, and adjusted them for actual sales and feedback and orders from the various film markets the Company
attends. These adjusted ultimate estimations are then used in determining if an impairments are necessary to recognize.
Consequently, the Group recorded a gross loss of $10,331,882
in the year-ended June 30, 2012 compared to a gross loss of ($119,608) in the year-ended June 30, 2011
General and administrative expenses increased to $2,251,139,
from $1,852,303. External legal and professional fees were significantly increased by approximately $400,000, as a result
of investigations carried out in the year by government authorities, as well as a significant increase in NASDAQ compliance matters. The
acquisition of the music assets has increased general and administrative expense although a substantial proportion of such expenses
was capitalized into music assets, with the development of the DMX album and videos.
Management’s reserve for doubtful accounts increased to
$307,481 compared to $234,429 due to the continued consolidation in the international film business.
We recorded $4,458,621(Restated) in other income for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2012 reflecting forgiveness of debt mainly from a Workout Agreement reached with Palm Finance Inc. and Arrowhead
Consulting Group.
Net interest expense increased from $758,197 to $2,752,681,
reflecting settlement agreements with senior lenders Blue Rider, Cold Fusion and 120db, and accrual of a full year’s interest
charge on the Pool Boys, Autopsy and Nine Miles Down production loans. Interest of these production
loans was forgiven in the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The Company disputes $957,696 of the interest
expense charged to the Pool Boys/Autopsy and Nine Miles Down loans as it has a different interpretation of the contract
to that of Palm. Management believes this dispute will be resolved in the near future.
We recorded no tax provision in the fiscal years ended June
30, 2012 and 2011, because we had no taxable income.
As result of the aforementioned results, we recorded a net loss
of $11,153,463 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared to a net profit of $1,461,554 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2011.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income
The Company’s functional currency, as well as the Company’s
subsidiaries, is the US Dollar. The functional currency of PLC, was the Pound Sterling (“GBP”), and some transactions
which are generated in the United Kingdom are denominated in GBP.
Assets and liabilities generated in a currency other than the
functional currency are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average
rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive
gain (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate
fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results
of operations.
Where possible, the Company seeks to match GBP income with
GBP expenditures. To date, the Company has not hedged any transactional currency exposure but will keep such exposures under review
and where appropriate may enter into such transactions in future.
Segment Reporting
The Company now operates in three business segments as a motion
picture producer and distributor and as a music label managing the assets acquired from Mr Michery. The Company believes that
its businesses should be reported as two business segments.
In accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting, operating
segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation
by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Our chief decision maker, as defined under the FASB’s guidance, is a combination of the Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer.
The table below presents the financial information for the
two reportable segments for the year ended June 30, 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management assesses the Company’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its
operating, investing and financing activities and whether it will be sufficient to allow it to continue investing in existing businesses,
consummating strategic acquisitions, paying interest and servicing debt and managing its capital structure on a short and long-term
basis.
Short Term Liquidity
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $38,154,995 and negative
working capital of $19,844,307 as of June 30, 2013. Management believes that, based on historical revenues generated from the licensing
of the distribution rights on our motion pictures and the new revenues generated from the release of two albums in the music division
in our 2014 fiscal year, as well as expanding business at the post-production facility, we will have sufficient working capital
to operate for the next twelve months. Included in the revenue expected in our film division will be the release of a new film,
Schism, in March 2014, which will see revenues generated during the next year. In addition, the Company has scaled back on administrative
expenses through the closing of our UK office. The Company also will continue to raise capital, or pay off existing debt, through
the issuance of convertible debentures.
We currently borrow funds for the financing of each of our motion
pictures from several production lenders. There can be no assurances given that the Group will be able to borrow funds to finance
our motion pictures in the future
Long Term Liquidity
The long term liquidity needs of the Company, are projected
to be met primarily through the cash flow provided by operations, with any additional funds necessary raised by the sale of
debt or equity.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating
activities in the year ended June 30, 2032 was $(547,939). This is mainly attributable to a mixture of cash
received on revenue and receivables compared to $1,051,378 of cash used in additions to film costs, payment on accounts
payable and other operating expenses of the Company. While the accounts payable increased by a net $1,546,377, the overall
increase also reflects payments on balances owing, as well as exchanges of existing accounts payable balances to notes
payable.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities
in the year ended June 30, 2013 was $(466,066) which is attributable to additions to building improvements for the post-production
facility.
Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities
during the year ended June 30, 2013 was $898,232, mainly due to the proceeds from additional debt of $1,872,772 and the
issuance of common stock for cash of $300,000, less amounts paid on outstanding debt.
Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2013, the Company did not have any outstanding
capital commitments. As of the date of this filing the Company had no other commitments than disclosed in
the Company’s financial statements and notes to the financial statements.
Negative working capital at June 30, 2013 was $19,844,307, versus
negative working capital at June 30, 2012 (Restated) of $13,561,333. The change is mainly a decrease in current assets from the
year ended June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013, while current liabilities stayed fairly consistent. The decrease in assets is constituted
by:
| a) | An approximately $1,190,000 reserve recognized for the Fee Income receivables due from related party , due to some delays in
SAPLA receiving their State tax credit (please see more detailed discussion in Note 4 in accompanying financial statements. |
| b) | Impairments recognized on Film costs in the amount of $2,054,171 and Music Assets in the amount of $4,718,205. |
| c) | The Film and Music asset balances were also reduced by the standard amortization for the year of $2,452,477. |
Working capital is negative due to the fact that all the loans
are classified as current, while some of them have longer-term workout agreements. Additionally, the mortgage
and construction loans on 807 Esplanade are current liabilities with corresponding Building improvements being recorded as non-current
assets.
The majority of the other loans are convertible to stock so
will have little or no cash impact.
Shareholders’ Deficit contributed to Seven Arts
Entertainment, Inc. at June 30, 2013 was $6,715,314 which is a decrease of $16,573,154 from the restated June 30, 2012
Shareholders’ equity. The change was primarily due to the loss in the current year, offset by increases in common stock
and the related additional paid in capital.
The Company had approximately $15,632,000 in debt as of June
30, 2013, comprised of Convertible debentures of approximately $4,074,000, Mortgage and construction loans of approximately $3,744,000
and Film and Production loans of approximately $7,814,000. Please refer to Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements to see
a detailed list of the indebtedness and expanded disclosures.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our management selects accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the
estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. It is also necessary for management to determine measure and allocate
resources and obligations within the financial process according to those principles. The accounting policies used conform to
generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of our financial statements.
The financial statements and notes are representations of our
management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible
for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and
detecting fraud. Our system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (i) recorded transactions
are valid; (ii) valid transactions are recorded; and (iii) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to
produce financial statements that present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of our Company
for the respective periods being presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts
and disclosures. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to ultimate
revenue and costs of its films which are used in the amortization and impairment of film costs, estimates for allowances and income
taxes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
FILM
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale (minimum guarantee
or non-refundable advances) or licensing arrangement (royalty agreements) of a film in accordance with ASC 605-15 “Revenue
Recognition”. Revenue will be recognized only when all of the following criteria have been met:
|
a) |
Persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists. |
|
b) |
The film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery. (i.e. the “notice of delivery” (“NOD”) has been sent and there is a master negative available for the customer). |
|
c) |
The license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition, or sale. |
|
d) |
The arrangement fee is fixed or determinable. |
|
e) |
Collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured. |
A written agreement with clients (purchase order, letter, contract,
etc.), indicating the film name, territory and period is required for the recognition of revenue. Revenue is recognized when the
performance criteria in the contracts have been met. The customer generally confirms agreement by their signature on the contract.
Minimum guarantee revenue (i.e., non-refundable advances) is
recognized as and when the film is available for delivery to the respective territories. Cash deposits received on the signing
of the contracts are recorded as deferred revenue until the film is available for delivery (as described above) at which point
the deferred revenue is recognized.
Royalty revenue, which equates to an agreed share of gross
receipts of films, is recognized as income as and when the Company is notified of the amounts by the customers through their royalty
reports. Revenue is recorded net any of sales or value added taxes charged to customers.
MUSIC
Revenue, which equates to an agreed share of gross receipts,
is recognized as income as and when the Company is notified of the amounts by the distribution agent through their distribution
reports.
Revenue is recorded:
|
a) |
net of any sales or value added taxes charged to customers |
|
|
|
|
b) |
net of discounts agreed with customers |
|
|
|
|
c) |
net of returns provision agreed with the distributor and |
|
|
|
|
d) |
grossed up for the distribution fee charged by the distribution agent. |
Revenue from digital distribution will be reported by the various
digital platforms such as iTunes in their periodic reports and posted as received.
Fee-related revenues
Many countries make tax credits available to encourage film
production in the territory. Seven Arts benefits from tax credits in:
|
a) |
The UK and several other European territories for their European productions |
|
|
|
|
b) |
Canada for their Canadian productions |
|
|
|
|
c) |
Louisiana for their US productions |
|
|
|
|
d) |
Tax preferred financing deals |
These tax credits may be treated as a reduction in the capitalized
costs of the film assets they are financing or as producer fees to us if the tax credits are earned and owned by a company in
the Group and paid to us as overhead or producer fees.
SAPLA Revenue – sharing fees
Revenue in the form of fee-income is due to the Company from
the related company SAPLA (owned by the wife of Peter Hoffman, the Company’s CEO) by virtue of an agreement between SAPLA
and the Company guaranteeing that all net revenue’s earned by SAPLA are the property of the Company. The agreement
was established as the Company guaranteed the loans SAPLA took on to restore and rebuild the property 807 Esplanade, New
Orleans as a post-production facility.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes”,
which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes
payable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in banks with original
maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost which approximates market value, which in the opinion of management,
are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The cash and cash equivalents of the Company consisted of cash balances
held on deposit with banks, including various accounts denominated in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling and Euros.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable are carried at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic
basis, the Company evaluates accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific
customer circumstances and credit conditions, and on a history of write offs and collections. The Company’s policy is generally
not to charge interest on trade receivables after the invoice becomes past due. A receivable is considered past due if payments
have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Write offs are recorded at a time when a customer receivable is deemed
uncollectible. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $131,062and $171,062 at June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012,
respectively.
Due to/Due from Related Parties
In September 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with
SAP under which SAP provided the services of Peter Hoffman for the amount of his contracted salary and the Los Angeles office
and staff of SAP Inc. to us at cost. Pursuant to two inter Company agreements, SAP also from time-to-time owned limited
liability companies in the United States which distributed the Company’s motion pictures for a fee, with all profits ensuing
to the benefit of the Company. These companies also provided other services to the Company at no fee other than
Mr. Hoffman’s salary and the direct third-party costs of SAP’s Los Angeles office, all of which were reflected in
the Company’s financial statements.
These other services may include accounting services, audits
of distribution statements, collection of accounts receivable, supervision of production of motion pictures and similar day-to-day
aspects of the Company’s business.
SAP assigned to the Company any proceeds arising from services
performed by SAP on its behalf. SAP was granted the power and authority to enter into agreements on the Company’s behalf. These
agreements have terminated as of December 31, 2011.
SAP, Inc. directly or through related various Louisiana limited
liability companies, have from time-to-time made non-interest bearing advances to the Company or its subsidiaries or have received
advances back from the Company or paid expenses on each other’s behalf.
Peter Hoffman has contributed cash to the Company, as well
as had salary accrued but unpaid on occasion over the last several years. These amounts are reflected as Due
To Related Parties.
Fee Income Receivable from Related Party
Revenue in the form of fee income is due to the Company from
a related party, SAPLA (owned by the wife of Peter Hoffman, the Company’s former CEO) for developer, advisory and financial
services provided by the Company as concerns infrastructure and historic rehabilitation tax credits earned by SAPLA. In accordance
with an intercompany agreement between SAE and SAPLA, the cash proceeds from the disposition of the tax credits earned by
SAPLA are due to SAE. The Company has recognized the fair value of the services as revenue with any excess received as a capital
contribution by the related party.
Film Costs
Film costs include the unamortized costs of completed films
which have been produced by the Company or for which the Company has acquired distribution rights, libraries acquired as part
of acquisitions of companies and films in progress and in development. For films produced by the Company, capitalized costs include
all direct production and financing costs, capitalized interest and production overhead.
Costs of acquiring and producing films are amortized using
the individual-film-forecast method, whereby these costs are amortized and participations and residuals costs are accrued in the
proportion that current year’s revenue bears to management’s estimate of ultimate revenue at the beginning of the
current year expected to be recognized from the exploitation, exhibition or sale of the films. The majority of a film's costs
(approximately 80% or more) are generally amortized within three years of the picture's initial release.
Ultimate revenue includes estimates over a period not to exceed
ten years following the date of initial release. Film costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value.
Individual film costs are reviewed on a title-by-title basis, when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair
value of a film is less than its unamortized cost. The fair value of the film is determined using management’s future revenue
and cost estimates and a discounted cash flow approach. Impairment is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized
costs exceed the estimated fair value of the film. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainty, and
it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of investment in films may be required as a consequence of changes
in management’s future revenue estimates. Films are included in the general “library” category when
initial release dates are at least three years prior to the acquisition date.
Films in progress include the accumulated costs of productions
which have not yet been completed. Films in development include costs of acquiring film rights to books,
stage plays or original screenplays and costs to adapt such projects. Such costs are capitalized and, upon commencement of production,
are transferred to production costs. Projects in development are written off at the earlier of the date they are determined
not to be recoverable or when abandoned.
Music Costs/Assets
The initial material assets that were acquired comprise 52
completed sound recordings including two completed albums with DMX, up to two additional albums from DMX and up to five albums
from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
Music assets include the unamortized costs of completed albums,
singles and videos which have been produced by the Company or for which the Company has acquired distribution rights, libraries
acquired as part of acquisitions and albums in progress and in development. For albums produced by the Company, capitalized costs
include all direct production and financing costs, capitalized interest and production overhead.
Costs of
acquiring and producing music assets will be amortized
using the individual-album-forecast method, whereby these costs are amortized in the proportion that current year’s revenue
bears to management’s estimate of ultimate revenue at the beginning of the current year expected to be recognized from the
exploitation or sale of the music.
Building Improvements
On June 30, 2012, the Company acquired SAFELA, which was previously a related party
company. SAFELA owns, in its capacity, a 30 year lease on 807 Esplanade, New Orleans, Louisiana, which was
constructed as a production and post-production facility for the Company’s use. The
Company has since assumed the liability for $1,000,000 of these loans plus a contingent sum of $750,000 (contingent on
receipt of the tax credit revenue of at least $5,000,000 in cash proceeds from the tax credits to be earned by SAPLA) due to
an agreement with the now mortgagor Palm Finance. Additionally, a construction loan of $1,850,000 previously guaranteed by
the Company has now been assumed by the Company for the property at 807 Esplanade.
The Company did not receive any consideration or benefit when they assumed the mortgage and construction loans, and have
looked to the authoritative guidance on guarantees as a analogy. As the guidance on financial guarantees does not address
which account would be set up as an offsetting entry when the liability is recognized at the inception of the
guarantee, the Company has determined to call this asset balance created upon assumption of the debt “Building
Improvements related to indebtedness” The Building Improvements will be amortized in a manner similar to
leasehold improvements, over the life of the lease (30 years).
The post production facility commenced operations on July 1, 2012.
Emerging
Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure:
The JOBS Act contains provisions that relax certain requirements
for "emerging growth companies" for which we qualify. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be
for up to five years after the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act., unlike other public companies, we will not be required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial
accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies under Section 102(b)(1)
of the JOBS Act; (ii) provide an auditor's attestation report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our system
of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (iii) comply with any
new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which
the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; or
(iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise.
Under the JOBS
Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for
public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We currently intend to take advantage
of such extended transition period. Since we are not required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant
dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable
to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Management
of
Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc. (formerly
Seven Arts Pictures, Plc.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Seven Arts Pictures, Plc.) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We were not engaged to examine management’s
assertion about the effectiveness of Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June
30, 2013 and 2012 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to
this matter.
As discussed in Note 15 to the financial
statements, the June 30, 2012 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to this matter.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc.
(formerly Seven Arts Pictures, Plc.) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations, comprehensive income and
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Seven Arts
Entertainment, Inc.
(Formerly
Seven Arts Pictures, Plc.)
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30,
2013 and 2012
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities, History
and Organization:
Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc. (herein
referred to as “the Company”, “Seven Arts” or “SAE,”), a Nevada Corporation, is the continuation
of the business of Seven Arts Pictures Plc. (“PLC”), which was founded in 2002 as an independent motion picture production
and distribution company engaged in the development, acquisition, financing, production, and licensing of theatrical motion pictures
for exhibition in domestic (i.e., the United States and Canada) and foreign theatrical markets, and for subsequent worldwide release
in other forms of media, including home video and pay and free television. The Company currently owns interests in 33 completed
motion pictures, subject in certain instances to the prior financial interests of other parties. As discussed herein,
in late February 2012, the Company formed Seven Arts Music, Inc. (“SAM”) and acquired 52 completed sound recordings
of the recording artist DMX from David Michery (“Michery”) with the rights to additional albums and acquired 100%
of the stock of Big Jake Music (“BJM”). As a result, the Company is also in the business of producing and
distributing recorded music. On June 30, 2012 Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment LLC (“SAFELA”) was transferred
to the Company. SAFELA, which is now 60% owned by the Company, has a 30 year lease to operate a film production and
post-production facility at 807 Esplanade in New Orleans, Louisiana. The post production facility commenced operations
on August 12, 2012. On Aug 14, 2012 Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment Louisiana LLC ("SAFELA"), commenced operation
of Seven Arts Post at the Company’s production facility located at 807 Esplanade Ave., New Orleans, Louisiana.
On
June 11, 2010, SAE, was formed and became a wholly owned subsidiary of PLC. As of June 11, 2010, the Company
entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement, as amended on January 27, 2011 and again on August 31, 2011, to transfer certain
assets with a cost basis from PLC to SAE, in exchange for assumption by SAE of certain indebtedness and for one share of common
stock of SAE for each ordinary share of PLC which have been distributed to shareholders. Additionally, 571
shares (2,000,000 shares as adjusted for the 1:70 and 1:50 reverse stock splits discussed herein)
of SAE were issued to PLC in order to satisfy any remaining obligations. This transfer was approved by the PLC shareholders at
an Extraordinary General Meeting on June 11, 2010. The purpose of this transfer was to eliminate our status as a foreign private
issuer and to assume compliance with all obligations of a domestic issuer under all applicable state and Federal securities laws.
Our intention in executing this transaction was to redomicile our business with no change in the economic interests of our shareholders.
Subsequent to the transfer SAE became is a United States issuer and commenced regular quarterly reporting from the first quarter
ended September 30, 2011.
On August 31, 2011, NASDAQ approved
the substitution of one share of SAE, Inc. stock for the Company's NASDAQ listing, effective at the opening of trading on September
1, 2011. On that date, each of the Company's ordinary shares were exchanged for one share of common stock of SAE, and commenced
trading on NASDAQ as the successor to the Company's NASDAQ listing. This transaction was approved by the Company’s shareholders
at the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting on June 11, 2010. On August 31, 2012, the Company
announced a 1:70 reverse stock split, which was effective immediately. All share references herein have been
adjusted to reflect this split.
On November 8, 2011, the Company's
listing predecessor, PLC, was placed into involuntary creditors’ liquidation under English law (See Note 13 – Commitments
and Contingencies). Certain indebtedness of PLC remained with PLC and will be subject to administration or payment in those administration
proceedings. In accordance with the asset transfer agreement, PLC has been issued 571 shares of common stock
of SAE in order to satisfy these obligations.
On
February 23, 2012, the Company formed Seven Arts Music, Inc. (“SAM”) and acquired 52 completed sound recordings of
the recording artist DMX from David Michery (“Mr. Michery”) with the rights to additional albums and acquired 100%
of the stock of Big Jake Music (“BJM”). As a result, the Company is also in the business of producing and distributing
recorded music.
In connection with the acquisition
of the music assets of Michery, the Company issued 100 ,000 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $100

preferred stock were held in escrow and to be released to Michery and his assigns only if two DMX albums and two Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
albums generate an aggregate of net earnings before interest and taxes of $5,000,000 during the next five fiscal years
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2012, Mr. Michery converted and sold 38,000 of the 50,000 shares of Series B that he and his assigns
held. The Company and Mr. Michery have agreed the remaining 50,000 shares of Series B in escrow will be disposed of by release
of 20,000 shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock to Mr. Michery in full satisfaction of any claims he may have against
the Company and the balance of the 30,000 shares of Series B will be cancelled. The release of the 20,000 shares has been recognized
as services in the accompanying financial statements. As of June 30, 2013, Mr. Michery or his assigns hold 32,000 shares
of Series B convertible preferred stock.
In connection with the acquisition
of the stock of BJM, the Company issued 80 ,000 shares of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock, par value
$100 convertible at approximately $1.10 per share) to Jake Shapiro and his assigns with 70,000 of these shares held in escrow
to be released to Shapiro and his assigns only if certain specific terms are met : 40,000 shares were subject to proving valuation
and usage of certain advertising credits and 30,000 shares were subject to an earnout over a two year period.
The
Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Shapiro on February 27, 2013 and all shares of Series B preferred stock held
in escrow for him and persons associated with him have been cancelled, with Mr. Shapiro and his assigns still holding 10,000 shares
of Series B convertible preferred stock as of March 31, 2013. The name and the website of Big Jake Music were also reassigned
to Mr. Shapiro as part of the settlement agreement.
Seven Arts Pictures Louisiana LLC, (“SAPLA”), a related party of the Company, entered into
a Credit Agreement with Advantage Capital Community Development Fund LLC dated October 11, 2007, for the acquisition and improvement
of the production and post-production facility located at 807 Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana (“807 Esplanade”)

Approximately $3,700,000 plus interest has been drawn under the terms of this Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2012. The Company
has now assumed the liability for $1,000,000 of this amount plus a contingent sum of $750,000 (contingent on receipt of at least
$5,000,000 in cash proceeds from the tax credits to be earned by SAPLA) due to an agreement with the now mortgagor Palm Finance.
A construction loan of $1,850,000 previously guaranteed by the Company has now also been assumed by the Company. ,The Company through
SAFELA, has a 30 year lease on the property 807 Esplanade to operate a film production and post-production facility.
On January 1, 2012, Seven Arts Film
Entertainment Limited (“SAFE”) sold all of its film assets to SAE for assumption of indebtedness. SAFE ceased operations
on May 31, 2013 on closing of its office in London, England. The Company plans to file for creditors voluntary liquidation of
SAFE in England. The asset transfer agreement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

|
· |
249,000,000 of common stock, $.01 par value per share. As of June 30, 2013, there are 46,323,297 shares of common stock outstanding . Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. |
|
|
|

On September 14, 2012 the Company’s common
stock began trading on the OTC Market’s OTCQB marketplace. The Company’s common shares trade
under the Company’s symbol “SAPX.” The Company is applying to trade on the highest OTC
marketplace, OTCQX, but is trading on the OTCQB tier until the Company is eligible to trade on the OTCQX.
Trading of the Company’s common
stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market was suspended at the opening of business on September 14, 2012, due to the fact that the Company
did not meet the $1 minimum bid price stock listing requirement of NASDAQ for ten trading days prior to September 20, 2012, the
expiration date on the Company’s six-month extension to meet this listing requirement.
On
September 14, 2012, the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Market’s OTCQB marketplace. The Company’s
common stock is quoted under the symbol “SAPX.” The Company is applying to trade on the highest OTC marketplace,
OTCQX, but is quoted on the OTCQB tier until the Company is eligible to be quoted on the OTCQX.
On
January 28, 2013, at a shareholders’ meeting, an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s shares
to 250,000,000 was approved, with 1,000,000 designated for preferred shares, and 249,000,000 as common shares.
The
Board of Directors was also authorized to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in the Company’s
2012 Stock Incentive Plan from 71,429 to 15,000,000.
Seven Arts also, subject to appropriate
and required regulatory filings and approvals, declared a warrant dividend to those persons beneficially owning its common stock
as of the close of the markets on August 31, 2012. For every ten pre-reverse split shares of common stock held as of such date
and time, the holders thereof are entitled to receive one warrant as a dividend. Until its expiration date, each warrant, once
distributed following such approvals, will be exercisable for the purchase of one share of the Company's post-reverse split common
stock at a price equivalent to today's post-reverse split closing bid price. The warrants will expire on the earlier of (i) the
date that the holder disposes of the common stock in respect of which the warrant dividend was declared, if such disposition occurs
on or before the close of the markets on October 31, 2012, or (ii) 5:00 p.m., PST, on June 30, 2014. Seven Arts does not expect
that a secondary market will develop for such warrants.
Reverse Stock-Splits:
On May 2, 2013 and August 31,
2012, the Company effected one-for-fifty and one-for-seventy reverse stock splits, respectively, collectively referred to as the
Stock Splits. Unless otherwise noted, all impacted amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
have been retroactively adjusted for the Stock Splits. Unless otherwise noted, impacted amounts include shares of common stock
authorized and outstanding, share issuances and cancellations, shares underlying preferred stock, convertible notes, warrants
and stock options, shares reserved, conversion prices of convertible securities, exercise prices of warrants and options, and
loss per share.
Audited Financial Statements:
The accompanying audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements are audited and, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement
of stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc. (“SAE”), and its subsidiaries:
|
· |
Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment, Limited (“SAFE, Ltd.”) (100% owned) |
|
· |
Seven Arts Music, Inc. (“SAM”) (100% owned) and |
|
· |
Big Jake Music, Inc. (“BJM”) (100% owned) |
|
· |
Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment Louisiana LLC (“SAFELA”) (As of June 30, 2012) (60% owned by SAE, 40% owned by Palm Finance) |
The Company consolidates its subsidiaries
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Business Combinations”, and
specifically ASC 810-10-15-8 which states, "The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority
voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule, ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, or over 50%
of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation." The Company does not have
any variable interest or special purpose entities. The Company presents Palm Finance’s 40% share of SAFELA’s
profit or loss as a noncontrolling interest.
The Company prepares its financial
statements on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States
of America (“US GAAP”). All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Management
believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the years ended June 30, 2032 and 2012 have
been made.
Going
Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared under a going concern basis in accordance
with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge
of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a loss
from operations of $18,232,123 and utilized cash in operations of $2,436,484. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a working
capital deficit of approximately $19,844,000.
These factors,
among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to return to profitability or to develop additional sources of financing
or capital. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.
Historically, the Company’s main source of cash was through the exploitation of its films, sales
of equity and debt financing. However, the Company has not released or distributed a new film since July 2012. The Company’s
next film, Schism, is expected to be released in March, 2014, and the Company also intends to release the next DMX album in early
2014 and the Thugs Bones N Harmony album in December 2013. Additionally, management has begun to implement cost reductions including
reducing the size of its’ staff and size of its UK office and expects to be able to continue to obtain additional financing.
No assurance can be given that the financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory
to the Company.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial
statements relate to ultimate revenue and costs of its films which are used in the amortization and impairment of film costs,
estimates for allowances and income taxes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Emerging
Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure:
The
JOBS Act contains provisions that relax certain requirements for "emerging growth companies" for which we qualify. For
as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be for up to five years after the first sale of our common equity
securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.,
unlike other public companies, we will not be required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards
applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies under Section 102(b)(1) of the
JOBS Act; (ii) provide an auditor's attestation report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal
control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (iii) comply with any new requirements
adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which the auditor would
be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; or (iv) comply
with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise.
Under
the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates
for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We currently intend to take advantage
of such extended transition period. Since we are not required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant
dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable
to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company’s management selects
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application
of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. It is also necessary for management
to determine, measure and allocate resources and obligations within the financial process according to those principles. The accounting
policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these
financial statements.
Revenue Recognition:
FILMS
The Company recognizes revenue from
the sale (minimum guarantee or non-refundable advances) or licensing arrangement (royalty agreements) of a film in accordance
with ASC 605-15 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue will be recognized only when all of the following criteria have
been met:
|
a) |
Persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists. |
|
b) |
The film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery. (i.e. the “notice of delivery” (“NOD”) has been sent and there is a master negative available for the customer). |
|
c) |
The license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition, or sale. |
|
d) |
The arrangement fee is fixed or determinable. |
|
e) |
Collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured. |
A written agreement with clients
(purchase order, letter, contract, etc.), indicating the film name, territory and period is required for the recognition of revenue.
Revenue is recognized when the performance criteria in the contracts have been met. The customer generally confirms agreement
by their signature on the contract.
Minimum guarantee revenue (i.e.,
non-refundable advances) is recognized as and when the film is available for delivery to the respective territories. Cash deposits
received on the signing of the contracts are recorded as deferred revenue until the film is available for delivery (as described
above) at which point the deferred revenue is recognized as revenue. The Company does not recognize any revenues relating to minimum
guarantee on any motion picture or related amortization expense on that picture until United States theatrical release if it has
agreed with the licensees that delivery or payment of minimum guarantee will be delayed for any material period of time to permit
such a theatrical release.
Royalty revenue, which equates to
an agreed share of gross receipts of films, is recognized as income as and when the Company is notified of the amounts by the
customers through their royalty reports. Revenue is recorded net of any sales or value added taxes charged to customers.
MUSIC
Revenue, which equates to an agreed
share of gross receipts, is recognized as income when the Company is notified of the amounts by the distribution agent through
their distribution reports.
Revenue is recorded:
|
a) |
net of any sales or value added taxes charged to customers |
|
b) |
net of discounts agreed with customers |
|
c) |
net of returns provision agreed with the distributor and |
|
d) |
grossed up for the distribution fee charged by the distribution agent. |
Revenue from digital distribution
will be reported by the various digital platforms such as iTunes in their periodic reports and posted as received.
FILM TAX CREDITS
Many countries make tax credits
available to encourage film production in the territory. Seven Arts benefits from tax credits in:
|
a) |
The UK and several other European territories for their European productions |
|
b) |
Canada for their Canadian productions |
|
c) |
Louisiana for their US productions |
|
d) |
Tax preferred financing deals |
These tax credits may be treated
as a reduction in the capitalized costs of the film assets they are financing or as producer fees to us if the tax credits are
earned and owned by a company in the Group and paid to us as overhead or producer fees.
Fee Income Receivable from Related Party
Revenue in the form of fee income
is due to the Company from a related party, SAPLA (owned by the wife of Peter Hoffman, the Company’s former CEO) for developer,
advisory and financial services provided by the Company as concerns infrastructure and historic rehabilitation tax credits earned
by SAPLA. In accordance with an intercompany agreement between SAE and SAPLA, the cash proceeds from the disposition of the
tax credits earned by SAPLA are due to SAE. The Company has recognized the fair value of the services as revenue with any excess
received as a capital contribution by the related party.
Foreign Currency Transactions
and Comprehensive Income:
The Company’s functional currency,
as well as that of all the Company’s subsidiaries, is the US Dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s predecessor,
was the Pound Sterling (“GPB”), and some transactions which are generated in the United Kingdom are denominated in
GBP.
Assets and liabilities generated
in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses
are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the
accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included
in the consolidated results of operations. The Company no longer has any operations generated in a currency other than the functional
currency and therefore there is no resulting other comprehensive income/loss.
The Company records transaction
gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations related to the recurring measurement and settlement of such transactions.
To date, the Company has not hedged
any transactional currency exposure but will keep such exposures under review and where appropriate may enter into such transactions
in future.
Income Taxes:
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10
“Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and
the current and deferred income taxes payable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents includes
cash in banks with original maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost which approximates market value, which in
the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The cash and cash equivalents of the Company
consisted of cash balances held on deposit with banks, including various accounts denominated in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling and
Euros.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts Receivable are carried at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic
basis, the Company evaluates accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific
customer circumstances and credit conditions, and on a history of write offs and collections. The Company’s policy is generally
not to charge interest on trade receivables after the invoice becomes past due. A receivable is considered past due if payments
have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Write offs are recorded at a time when a customer receivable is deemed
uncollectible. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $131,062 and $171,062 at June 30, 2013 and June 30,
2012, respectively. Substantially all of the trade receivables in the consolidated financial statements are pledged as security
for borrowings by the Company.
Due To/Due From Related Parties
In September 2004, the Company’s predecessor entered into an agreement with SAP under which SAP
provided the services of Mr. Peter Hoffman for the amount of his contracted salary and the Los Angeles office and staff of SAP
Inc. to the Company’s predecessor at cost. Pursuant to two inter Company agreements, SAP also from time-to-time owned limited
liability companies in the United States which distributed the Company’s motion pictures for a fee, with all profits ensuing
to the benefit of the Company. These companies also provided other services to the Company at no fee other than Mr. Hoffman’s
salary and the direct third-party costs of SAP’s Los Angeles office, all of which were reflected in the Company’s financial
statements. Portions of Mr. Hoffman’s salary have not been paid to him and have been reflected as Due To Related Party. As
of June 30, 2013 and 2012, $1,665,762 and $1,698,578 (Restated), respectively, was owed to Mr. Hoffman for unpaid salary and unreimbursed
expenses, as well as repayment of cash he advanced the Company or its predecessors.
These other services may include
accounting services, audits of distribution statements, collection of accounts receivable, supervision of production of motion
pictures and similar day-to-day aspects of the Company’s business. SAP assigned to the Company any
proceeds arising from services performed by SAP on its behalf. SAP was granted the power and authority to enter into agreements
on the Company’s behalf. These agreements were terminated from December 31, 2011.
SAP directly or through related
various Louisiana limited liability companies have, from time-to-time, made non-interest bearing advances
to the Company or its subsidiaries or have received advances back from the Company, and have paid expenses on each
other’s behalf.
Other Receivables and Prepayments:
The
Company has entered into contracts for investor relations and consulting services to assist in future fundraising activities.
A portion of these services were prepaid with shares of common stock that vested immediately and will be amortized over the period
the services are to be provided. Additionally, the Company had approximately $200,000 in revenue to be received from digital
platforms on the film, The Pool Boys, which
has been earned but not received as of June 30, 2012. The Company also has prepaid some legal costs, which will be released when
services are performed, or related transaction is completed. As of June 30, 2013 substantially all of the balance represents prepaid
legal fees.
Film Costs:
Film costs include the unamortized
costs of completed films which have been produced by the Company or for which the Company has acquired distribution rights, libraries
acquired as part of acquisitions of companies and films in progress and in development. For films produced by the Company, capitalized
costs include all direct production and financing costs, capitalized interest and production overhead.
Costs of acquiring and producing
films are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method, whereby these costs are amortized and participations and residuals
costs are accrued in the proportion that current year’s revenue bears to management’s estimate of ultimate revenue
at the beginning of the current year expected to be recognized from the exploitation, exhibition or sale of the films. The majority
of a film's costs (approximately 80% or more) are generally amortized within three years of the picture's initial release.
Ultimate revenue includes estimates
over a period not to exceed ten years following the date of initial release. Film costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost
or estimated fair value. Individual film costs are reviewed on a title-by-title basis, when an event or change in circumstances
indicates that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized cost. The fair value of the film is determined using management’s
future revenue and cost estimates and a discounted cash flow approach. Impairment is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized
costs exceed the estimated fair value of the film. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainty, and therefore
it is possible that reductions in the carrying value of investment in films may be required as a consequence of changes in management’s
future revenue estimates.
Films are included in the general
“library” category when initial release dates are at least three years prior to the acquisition date.
Films in progress include the accumulated
costs of productions which have not yet been completed. Films in development include costs of acquiring film rights to books,
stage plays or original screenplays and costs to adapt such projects. Such costs are capitalized and, upon commencement of production,
are transferred to production costs. Projects in development are written off at the earlier of the date they are determined not
to be recoverable or when abandoned.
All Exploitation Costs (comprising
of direct costs, including marketing, advertising, publicity, promotion, and other distribution expenses) incurred in connection
with the distribution of a film ) are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 720- 926- 25-3 .
The Company begins to accrue participation
costs after a film is released when it is probable that such costs will become payable. Participation costs are accrued using
the individual-film-forcast method, which accrues participation costs in the same ratio that current period actual revenue bears
to the estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the current fisc al year.
Music Assets:
The initial material assets that
were acquired comprise 52 completed sound recordings including two completed albums with “DMX”, up to two additional
albums from “DMX” and up to five albums from “Bone Thugs-N-Harmony”.
Music assets include the unamortized
costs of completed albums, singles and videos which have been produced by the Company or for which the Company has acquired distribution
rights, libraries acquired as part of acquisitions and albums in progress and in development. For
albums produced by the Company, capitalized costs include all direct production and financing costs, capitalized interest
and production overhead.
Costs of acquiring and producing
music assets will be amortized using the individual-album-forecast method, whereby these costs are amortized in
the proportion that current year’s revenue bears to management’s estimate of ultimate revenue at the beginning of
the current year expected to be recognized from the exploitation or sale of the music.
Building Improvements:
On June 30, 2012, the Company acquired SAFELA, which was previously
a related party company. SAFELA has a 30 year lease on 807 Esplanade, New Orleans, Louisiana, which was constructed
as a production and post-production facility. The Company has since assumed the liability
for $1,000,000 of these loans plus a contingent sum of $750,000 (contingent on receipt of the tax credit revenue of at least $5,000,000
in cash proceeds from the tax credits to be earned by SAPLA) due to an agreement with the now mortgagor Palm Finance. Additionally,
a construction loan of $1,850,000 previously guaranteed by the Company has now been assumed by the Company for the property
at 807 Esplanade. The Company did not receive any consideration or benefit when they assumed the mortgage and construction loans,
and have looked to the authoritative guidance on guarantees as a analogy. As the guidance on financial guarantees does not
address which account would be set up as an offsetting entry when
the liability is recognized at the inception of the guarantee, the Company has determined to call this asset balance created upon
assumption of the debt “Building Improvements related to indebtedness” The Building Improvements will
be amortized in a manner similar to leasehold improvements, over the life of the lease (30 years).
The post production facility commenced operations on July 1, 2012.
Property & Equipment:
Equipment is carried at the cost
of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and
maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve
the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains
and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 5 years.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets:
The Company evaluates, on a periodic
basis, long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment in accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC 360-10, “Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The evaluation is based on certain impairment indicators, such
as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as
well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If these impairment indicators are present or other factors
exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, then an estimate of the discounted value of
expected future operating cash flows is used to determine whether the asset is recoverable and the amount of any impairment is
measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated
using valuation techniques such as market prices for similar assets or discounted future operating cash flows.
Deferred Income:
Any income received from customers
before a film is delivered for release, (such as deposits on distribution contracts) is recorded as a liability called
deferred income in case the film does not reach completion and the income has to be returned to customers.
Provision for earn-out for David
Michery/Big Jake Music:
The Company’s Asset Purchase Agreement with David Michery
provided for 50,000 of the Company’s $100 stated, Convertible Redeemable Series B Preferred Shares, be held in Escrow until
the Net EBIT (as defined in the agreement) from distribution of the DMX Albums and two albums embodying the performance of Bone
Thugs-n-Harmony exceeds $5,000,000, as confirmed by the Company’s independent auditor. At the
end of five years, should the Net EBIT be less than $5,000,000, the shares will be released on a fractional basis, as defined in
the agreement. As of the year ended June 30, 2012 the Company ha determined the estimated fair value of
the earnout to be $0. The PS held in escrow were released or cancelled as of a settlement agreement with Mr. Michery in February
2013, described previously.
In connection with the acquisition of the stock of BJM, the Company issued 10,000 shares of the Company’s
Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $100 convertible at approximately $1.10 per share) to Jake Shapiro and his assigns
and agreed to issue an additional 70,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to Shapiro and his assigns if certain specific
terms were met; 40,000 shares were subject to proving valuation and usage of certain advertising credits and 30,000
shares were subject to an earnout over a two year period. The 70,000 shares were held in escrow, until their cancellation
in relation to a settlement with BJM, in February 2013, described previously.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had determined the fair value of the earnout with regard until the proving
of the media credits to be $50,000, which the Board believed was the value of an equivalent public relations campaign.. Mr.
Shapiro did have the right to seek an independent valuation. As the shares held in escrow against the valuation of the media credits
were cancelled, as part of the settlement (Note 1) the earn-out has been derecognized on the accompanying financial statements.
Asset Transfer Agreement:
On June 11, 2010, Seven Arts Entertainment,
Inc. (“SAE”), a Nevada Corporation, was formed and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven Arts Pictures Plc. As
of June 11, 2010, the Company entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement, This was approved by the PLC shareholders at an Extraordinary
General Meeting on that date, and was subsequently amended on January 27, 2011 and again on August 31, 2011, to transfer
all of the assets with a cost basis from PLC to SAE, in exchange for assumption by SAE of certain indebtedness and for one share
of common stock of SAE for each ordinary share of PLC which have been distributed to shareholders. Additionally, 28,571 shares
of SAE were issued to PLC in order to satisfy any remaining obligations . The purpose of this transfer was to eliminate our status
as a foreign private issuer and to assume compliance with all obligations of a domestic issuer under all applicable state and
Federal securities laws. The Company’s intention in executing this transaction was to redomicile our business with no change
in the economic interests of the Company’s shareholders. As the majority of the Company’s shareholders were domestic
we felt they would be better served by the Company as a domestic issuer.
The assets and certain of the liabilities
of SAP Plc. were transfered at net book value. All related party balances of PLC were left in the original company
as were the shares in SAFE(UK) Ltd and Cinematic Finance Ltd. All disputed debts were left with the PLC. The “
consideration paid for the asset transfer was a one for one share exchange of PLC shares for shares of SAE Inc. and an issuance
of a further 2,000,000 (pre-split) (28,571 post-split ) shares in SAE Inc. The issuance of the 2,000,000 shares
was booked at the closing market price on August 31 2011, which was $0.66/ share. The Board approved the issuance
of the 2 million shares (pre-reverse split) to satisfy any remaining obligations in PLC, which approximated the amount of the
liabilities left behind at the time of the issuance.
Although the transfer agreement
amendment was executed on January 27, 2011, the PLC remained the parent company through August 31, 2011. until all procedures
and approvals were in place with NASDAQ, DWAC and the transfer agent to finalize the one share of common stock of SAE for each
ordinary share of PLC to be distributed to shareholders and trading of SAE to take over from PLC The fair value of the 2,000,000
shares was determined at the closing market price on August 31 2011, which was $0.66/share.
Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings (loss) per share
are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share include the effects of any outstanding options, warrants and other potentially dilutive securities.
For the periods presented, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding, therefore basic earnings per share equals
diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are based on weighted-average common shares
and exclude shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect. In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-19, the Company did not consider
any potential common shares in the computation of diluted EPS as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, due to the loss from continuing operations,
as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.
Share Based Payments:
The Company accounts for share based
payments using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the services
received and is recognized over the service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value
of options and warrants issued. In calculating this fair value, there are certain assumptions used such as the expected life of
the option, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, volatility and forfeiture rate. The use of a different estimate for any one
of these components could have a material impact on the amount of calculated compensation expense.
Segment Reporting:
The Company has three operating segments based on its major lines of businesses: a motion picture producer
and distributor, music label, and post-production facility. Each operating segment derives its revenues from the sale of products
or services, respectively and each is the responsibility of a group of senior management of the Company who has knowledge of product
and service specific operational risks and opportunities. The Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews and evaluates
separate sets of financial information for decisions regarding resources allocation and performance assessments.
Fair Value Measurements:
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair value of financial instruments
are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon
internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made
to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty
credit quality and the Corporation’s credit worthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such
valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.
Derivative Instruments:
The Company’s policy is to
not use derivative or hedging financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, except certain embedded derivatives derived
from certain conversion features or reset provisions attached to the convertible debentures, as described in Note 9.
Reclassification:
Certain prior year balances were
reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2012-07, "Entertainment - Films
(Topic 926): Accounting for Fair Value Information That Arises after the Measurement date and Its Inclusion in the Impairment
Analysis of Unamortized Film Costs." ASU No. 2012-07 eliminates the rebuttable presumption that the condition leading to
the write-off of unamortized film costs existing after the balance sheet date also existed as of the balance sheet date. In addition,
in performing the impairment test, an entity is no longer required to incorporate the effects of changes in estimates resulting
from evidence arising subsequent to the balance sheet date if the information would not have been considered by market participants
at the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for the Company's impairment assessments performed on or after December
15, 2012.
The Company does not expect the
adoption of and other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of
operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with ASC 280 “Segment
Reporting”, operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial
information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how
to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief decision maker, as defined under the FASB’s guidance,
is a combination of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the
Company formed a new subsidiary, Seven Arts Music, and acquired music assets from David Michery and purchased the stock of Big
Jake Music. This was a new line of business for the Company, and therefore, for the year ended June 30, 2012,
the Company had two reportable operating segments.
The pre and post production facility
run by the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, SAFLA, commenced operations in July 2012, and therefore for the year ended
June 30, 2013 the Company has three reportable segments.

SAP, Inc. has pledged an interest
in its shares of the Company’s stock to secure certain indebtedness for which SAP, Inc. and the Company are jointly liable
such as the Apollo and Armadillo debts. The stock of SAP, Inc. (previously owned by Peter Hoffman) was transferred to the listing
predecessor of SAE on September 1, 2011.
SAP Inc. and Louisiana Companies:
The Company’s former Chief
Executive Officer who is on a leave of absence, Peter Hoffman, controls several companies, including (prior to September 10, 2011)
Seven Arts Pictures, Inc. (“SAP, Inc.”) that are not part of the Company but from which it obtained or transferred
distribution rights or other assets related to the business and which control production of the motion pictures. The agreements
with Mr. Hoffman, and the companies controlled by him, provide that all revenues related to the Company’s business payable
to Mr. Hoffman or any of these related party companies is due to the Company, except Mr. Hoffman’s salary, bonus and stock
ownership. None of these affiliates are variable interest or special purpose entities.
Prior to January 1, 2012, pursuant
to a related party agreement, SAP, Inc. held ownership of limited liability corporations in the United States, with all distribution
rights and profits thereof being due to SAFE, Ltd. In addition, they have also provided other services for Seven Arts Pictures
Plc. and SAFE, Ltd. and SAE, Inc. at no fee other than Mr. Hoffman’s salary and the direct third party costs of the Los
Angeles office, all of which are reflected in the financial statements of SAFE, Ltd. These other services include any reasonable
requests of the management of the Company including accounting services, audits of distribution statements, collection of accounts
receivable, supervision of production of motion pictures and similar day-to-day aspects of the Company’s business. Effective
January 1, 2012 no further such transactions were conducted.
As of June 30, 2013, the amount
due from the related party, SAP, Inc, was determined to be uncollectible due to SAP, Inc. having been transferred to PLC, which
is in liquidation proceedings. Therefore, $1,868,547 was included in Bad Debt expense in the accompanying financial statements.
Peter
Hoffman:
In
September 2004, the Company’s predecessor entered into an agreement with SAP under which SAP provided the services of Mr.
Peter Hoffman for the amount of his contracted salary and the Los Angeles office and staff of SAP Inc. to the Company’s
predecessor at cost. Pursuant to two inter Company agreements, SAP also from time-to-time owned limited liability companies
in the United States which distributed the Company’s motion pictures for a fee, with all profits ensuing to the benefit
of the Company. These companies also provided other services to the Company at no fee other than Mr. Hoffman’s salary and
the direct third-party costs of SAP’s Los Angeles office, all of which were reflected in the Company’s financial statements. Portions
of Mr. Hoffman’s salary have not been paid to him and have been reflected as Due To Related Party.
During
the year ended June 30, 2013, 7,143 (25,000,000 pre-split) and 140,000 (7,000,000 pre-split) shares were issued in exchange
for $914,786, and $1,190,000, respectively, of the Due to related party balance. The 7,143 shares have been pledged
to JMJ Financial in connection with a $500,000 convertible debenture, as collateral against repayment of the note. The 140,000
shares have been pledged to Tonaquint Inc, in connection with a total of $590,000 in convertible debentures, under the terms of
an amendment dated October 5, 2012, as collateral against repayment of the note. (Note 9) In the event of a default on either
of the notes the holder may transfer and sell the pledged shares and apply the proceeds against the outstanding amounts on the
notes. Per agreements between the Company and Mr. Hoffman in respect to the pledged shares, if the pledged shares are sold and
applied to the note balance, or if the shares are not utilized by the pledges and returned to the Company, Mr. Hoffman’s
Due to related party balance as of the date of the agreements, will be reinstated. Due to the future obligation to in substance
repurchase the shares and reinstate the Due to related party balance, the shares have been treated as if issued for no consideration,
and a liability for $2,104,786 was recognized included in the Due to related party balance for the obligation to reinstate the
Due to balance.
SAPLA Guarantee:
Seven
Arts Pictures Louisiana LLC, (“SAPLA”) a related party of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement with Advantage
Capital Community Development Fund LLC dated October 11, 2007, for the acquisition and improvement of the production and post-production
facility located at 807 Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana for aggregate principal advances of up to $3,700,000. This
agreement was guaranteed by the Company’s predecessor. Approximately $3,700,000 plus interest has been
drawn under the terms of this Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2012. The Company has since assumed the liability for $1,000,000
of this amount plus a contingent sum of $750,000 due to Advantage Capital (contingent on receipt of the tax credit revenue
of at least $5,000,000 in cash proceeds from the tax credits to be earned by SAPLA)
due to an agreement with the now mortgagor Palm Finance.
A construction loan of $1,850,000
previously guaranteed by the Company has now been assumed by the Company for the property at 807 Esplanade.
The Company did not receive any consideration or benefit when
they assumed the mortgage and construction loans, and have looked to the authoritative guidance on guarantees as a analogy.
As the guidance on financial guarantees does not address which account would be set up as an offsetting
entry when the liability is recognized at the inception of the guarantee, the Company has determined to call this asset balance
created upon assumption of the debt “Building Improvements related to indebtedness” The Building Improvements
will be amortized in a manner similar to leasehold improvements, over the life of the lease (30 years).
SAPLA Advances:
On February 28, 2012, the Company took out a convertible
loan of $200,000 which was in turn loaned to SAPLA to cover outstanding interest payments which were due on the construction
loan on 807 Esplanade previously guaranteed by the Company. Three additional convertible loans
were taken out totaling $600,000 during the year ended June 30, 2012 and then loaned to SAPLA to pay down the construction loan
on the property at 807 Esplanade, as to not further delay the construction and opening of the facility. As of June 30, 2013, the
convertible loan balance, after conversions, on the Company’s financial statements is approximately $325,000.
NOTE 4 – FEE INCOME
RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY (RESTATED)
SAPLA has filed for historical rehabilitation
tax credits available from the United States (26%) and Louisiana (25%) on approximately $9,500,000 of historical rehabilitation
expenses paid in connection with the renovation of the building and property at 807 Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana
(the “Property”) and reflected in a compilation of expenses by an independent accounting firm. SAPLA has filed the
Part I application for historic rehabilitation credits and has received the Part II and Part III approvals from the United States
Department of Parks with respect to the Property:
|
· |
SAPLA will allocate the Federal historic rehabilitation credits to investors in its lessee, 807 Esplanade Ave. MT LLC (“MT”), and receive cash or reduction in indebtedness as a result of such allocation. |
|
· |
SAPLA will assign the Louisiana historic rehabilitation for cash. |
SAPLA has also filed for Louisiana
film infrastructure tax credits (40%) on all of its investment of approximately $11,500,000 in connection with the Property to
date, as reflected in an audit report of an independent accounting firm (which also includes audits of all rehabilitation expenses).
SAPLA has approval from Louisiana that the Property is a certified state film infrastructure project and SAFELA, as lessee of
MT, is now operating a production and post - production facility at the Property.
To date Louisiana has certified
approximately $6,500,000 of the $11,500,000 film infrastructure expenditure filed for , the tax credits accruing on which SAPLA
will assign for cash, with the remaining expenses remaining under consideration by the Louisiana Department of Economic Development
(“LED”). SAPLA has received no objections to any of its film rehabilitation expenses from LED as reflected in the
audit report submitted to LEDF on July 2, 2012. Under a published Opinion of the Attorney General of Louisiana, the Louisiana
tax credits vest upon certification as a film infrastructure project which occurred in 2008. Revenue is not recognized until
the required audit or compilation is complete and available to be submitted to the appropriate agency.
Under the terms of the related party
agreement between SAPLA and SAE Inc. proceeds received from the disposition of the tax credits earned by SAPLA on the building
are due to SAE to reduce the notes payable to Palm Finance and as fees for services provided by the Company . SAPLA
is due to receive approximately $9,447,544 from disposition of Louisiana and Federal historic rehabilitation and film infrastructure
tax credits for the restoration and the establishment of a post-production facility at 807 Esplanade.
SAPLA will pay the proceeds from
disposition of such tax credits to SAE Inc. as fee income. The Company provided “developer” services as concerns
oversight of the rehabilitation work carried out on the facility, as well as advisory services in connection with the obtaining
of the tax credits, and financial services related to the loans and mortgage. The Company has concluded the services evidence
an earning process, in the providing of a service, and as such have recognized revenue in relation to the fair value of the services
provided. The fair value of $3,235,000 was determined based on the amounts stated as “qualified expenses” and determined
to be reasonable and industry standard in the required audit of cost report expenditures performed on the project by an independent
accountant. Any excess over the fair value of the services received by the Company from SAPLA will be recognized as a contribution
to capital.
As of December
31, 2012, the current director of LED has toured 807 Esplanade and seemed satisfied with his review. He requested the
building get a permanent business license and to confirm that the equipment in the building is permanent. The permanent
business license was obtained on April 1 and the permanency of the equipment was confirmed by that date as well.
As of June 30, 2013, the Louisiana
Department of Economic Development has not issued a Tax Credit Certification Letter as pertains to the LFI credits, and on June
23, 2013 SAPLA received a letter from the Louisiana Economic Development (“LED”) office that they could “not
proceed further with any consideration to approve” the tax credits until SAPLA proves they have the correct occupational
license from the city. SAPLA does have the appropriate license and is currently appealing this notification. In light of these
subsequent occurrences, management has determined that the amount underlying the LFI credits should be reserved against as of
June 30, 2013, until such time as the Tax Credit Certification Letter is received by SAPLA.
Additionally, the State Historic
Preservation Office (“SHPO”) has not yet issued their Part III approval, confirming what amount of the tax credits
they are approving. In October 2012 the SHPO sent SAPLA some questions on their expenditures, which were answered by the independent
auditor who performed the required audit of the cost expenditures, but there has been no further correspondence since. SAPLA is
pursuing the issue with SHPO to force them to state the amount of tax credits they are approving, based on a recent law in Louisiana
which says SHPO must state which line item they are disallowing. Therefore, the Company has also determined to reserve against
the amount of the proceeds representing the LHR credits, until such time as SAPLA resolves the issue with SHPO and receives a
Part III approval.
The total reserve recognized as
of June 30, 2013 for the fee income from related party is $1,180,000, which represents the cash proceeds underlying the LFI and
LHR tax credits in excess of the $3,235,000 recognized as revenue, and reduces the receivable amount to the amount the Company
has determined to be known to be collectible, the amount of the cash proceeds underlying the Federal tax credits.

Amortization
of film costs was $2,044,272 and $3,996,576 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company estimates that its amortization
expense in the next year will be $1,275,000.
The Company reviews capitalized
film costs for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not
be recoverable or at least once per year. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of future cash flows resulting
from the use of the asset, and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for the assets is based on the fair
value of the asset as estimated using a discounted cash flow model. As a result of the impairment evaluation the Company
recognized an impairment of $2,054,171 and $9,494,247 (Restated) in the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based
on reduced ultimate revenue estimations.
All Exploitation Costs (comprising
of direct costs, including marketing, advertising, publicity, promotion, and other distribution expenses) incurred in connection
with the distribution of a film) are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-926-25-3.
No participations have been recorded
as the Company does not believe anything will be due in the next 12 months.

There were two separate transactions
in which SAE acquired the “music assets”. One was an Asset Purchase Agreement with David Michery, which
was accounted for as an asset purchase. In this transaction SAE acquired the music assets comprised of masters recordings. The
other was the BJM acquisition, in which SAE acquired the stock of BJM, which was accounted for as a business combination
The initial material assets that
were acquired from David Michery comprise 52 completed sound recordings including two completed albums with “DMX”,
up to two additional albums from “DMX” and up to five albums from “Bone Thugs-N-Harmony”. The music assets
were initially recorded at the fair value of the preferred stock issued, less the amount of preferred stock held in escrow, which
was $5,000,000.
The BJM transaction qualified as
an acquisition of a business, as defined in ASC 805-10-55-2, as the Company, the acquirer, gained control of BJM by issuing Series
B Preferred Stock as consideration. BJM falls under the definition of a business, as set forth in ASC 805-10-55-4 through
7, as although BJM was not operational, they had inputs, in the form of intangible assets, including access to artists and customers
and distribution channels and were pursuing a plan to produce outputs (the recordings and CDs or digital downloads). .
At the time of acquisition the only
assets were the intangibles, and certain media credits, which could not be precisely valued. BJM’s common shares were
not publically traded, and therefore, were also difficult to value. In accordance with ASC ASC 505-50-30-6 which gives
guidance on how to measure the equity issued in a non-monetary exchange, as the value of the Company’s Series B Preferred
Stock was determined as the most readily determinable, the consideration was calculated as the fair value of the Series B Preferred
Stock, which was determined to be $1,000,000. Per the guidelines for acquisition accounting, as the only asset was the intangible
assets, which could not be clearly and separately identified in a cost effective manner,, the $1,000,000 consideration was allocated
to the fair value of “Intanbible Assets - music assets”.
The contracts with DMX and BTH allow
for royalties varying from 12% to 20%, based on sales and other varying terms, be paid to the artists after initial advances are
recouped by the Company. The Company does not anticipate that any additional royalties will be due after recoupment.
The Company capitalized $606,774
and $1,324,158 in music costs during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing costs incurred in the
production of the current DMX album and related videos.. The Company will begin to amortize the music assets once the related
records are released, over the estimated life of the recorded performance using a method that reasonably relates the amount to
the net revenue expected to be realized.
The $408,205 was the amortization
charge based on sales of the DMX “Undisputed” album compared to current forecast sales for the assets acquired.
The Company reviews capitalized music assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable or at least
once per year. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset,
and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for the assets is based on the fair value of the asset as estimated
using a discounted cash flow model. As of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 , the Company recognized impairment losses of $ 4,718,205
and $3,035,000 (restated), respectively. The first of the DMX albums, “Undisputed”, was released in September 2012,
and sales were below expectations. Management analyzed the realizability based on future use of the music assets and adjusted their
estimations of sales on the albums to be released based on the remaining masters, which include one additional album for DMX and
one album for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, to reflect the actual sales and profit recognized on Undisputed The impairment in the year
ended June 30, 2012 was determined as the difference between the original consideration and the expected sales on the albums to
be released from the masters acquired, and additionally included all of the intangibles, which were determined to have no future
use.
NOTE 7 – BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
On June 30, 2012, the Company acquired SAFELA, which was previously
a related party company. SAFELA has a 30 year lease on 807 Esplanade, New Orleans, Louisiana, which was constructed
as a production and post-production facility. The Company has since assumed the liability
for $1,000,000 of these loans plus a contingent sum of $750,000 (contingent on receipt of the tax credit revenue of at least $5,000,000
in cash proceeds from the tax credits to be earned by SAPLA) due to an agreement with the now mortgagor Palm Finance. Additionally,
a construction loan of $1,850,000 previously guaranteed by the Company has now been assumed by the Company for the property
at 807 Esplanade.
The Company did not receive any consideration or benefit when
they assumed the mortgage and construction loans, and have looked to the authoritative guidance on guarantees as a analogy.
As the guidance on financial guarantees does not address which account would be set up as an offsetting entry when the liability
is recognized at the inception of the guarantee, the Company has determined to call this asset balance created upon assumption
of the debt “Building Improvements related to indebtedness” The Building Improvements will be amortized in a
manner similar to leasehold improvements, over the life of the lease (30 years). The post production
facility commenced operations on July 1, 2012, and the Company began amortization of the building improvements on July 1, 2013.
Amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $164,526.

Forebearance agreement |
*The Company does not agree with
$957,696 of interest charged by Palm on these two film loans and believes the dispute will be resolved once the loans are repaid.
The loan amounts at June 30, 2013 and 2012 include accrued interest
of approximately $4,227,000 and $2,940,000 respectively.
Palm Agreement
The Company entered into two senior
financing loan and security agreements with Palm to finance the production costs of The Pool Boys, Autopsy and Nine
Miles Down dated May 7, 2007 and December 17, 2007. These loans are secured by the revenues to be collected
from these motion pictures. The revenues so far collected have been insufficient to repay the majority of these loans,
primarily as result of management’s decision to delay the release of these films.
In
July, 2011 we entered into an amended financing agreement with Palm in to refinance the existing indebtedness secured by our production
and post-production facility in New Orleans, Louisiana under which Palm has acquired the existing credit facility of $3,700,000
plus accrued interest of our affiliate SAPLA for $1,000,000 of this amount plus a continent sum of $750,000 (contingent on receipt
of at least $5,000,000 in cash proceeds from the tax credits to be earned by SAPLA)
and advanced an additional $1,800,000 to complete renovation and construction of this facility. Palm’s advance
and interest at the rate of 15% per annum are due and payable within five years and are secured by the property at 807 Esplanade
Avenue in New Orleans and Louisiana film infrastructure and historical rehabilitation credits, as well as Federal historical rehabilitation
credits associated with the Property. Under this arrangement the group guaranteed the debt on the post production
facility and Palm forgave a total of $4,458,624 of principal and interest on the two production loans as well as reduced the liability
on the New Orleans production facility by $1,950,000 in exchange for the group guaranteeing the production facility debt. The
reduction in principal and interest has been recognized in the year ended June 30, 2012 as Other Income (restated). Palm’s
advance and interest at the rate of 15% per annum are due and payable within five years and are secured by the property at 807
Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans and Louisiana film infrastructure and historical rehabilitation credits, as well as Federal historical
rehabilitation credits associated with the Property and cross guaranteed the Company, its affiliates and CEO, Peter
Hoffman.
In June, 2012 as detailed in Note
7, the Esplanade debt was assumed by SAFELA in connection with a 30 year lease on the facility. SAFELA was in turn
acquired by the Company.
Trafalgar
SAP Plc. Borrowed £1,000,000
($1,651,000 ) convertible debenture from Trafalgar Capital Special Investment Fund (“Trafalgar”) that came due on
June 30, 2009.We were unable to repay the debenture and as a result, we defaulted on a payment of £1,000,000 plus interest
to Trafalgar Capital Special Investment Fund in June 2009.
On September 2, 2009 the Group repaid
Trafalgar $1,000,000 as a partial payment against this loan, with the remaining balance subject to repayment in cash or convertible
to the shares of common stock of the Group at the conversion terms as agreed between Trafalgar and the Group. On June
22, 2010 an amended agreement was entered into with Trafalgar for an extension of the due date of the convertible debentures to
December 31, 2010, and the Group agreed to issue 971 shares of common stock to settle a portion
of the debt. Trafalgar agreed to reduce the loan amount from the proceeds it received from selling the shares of common stock.
Subsequent to June 30, 2010, a further amended agreement was entered into with Trafalgar for an extension of the due date
of the convertible debentures to March 31, 2011, and the Group agreed to issue 1,214 shares of common stock to settle
a portion of the debt. Trafalgar agreed to reduce the loan amount from the proceeds it received from selling the 1,214 shares
of common stock. There have been no subsequent extensions and the loan remains past due. Interest is being accrued
accordingly.
Tonaquint
On
August 22, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for several convertible debentures (or “notes”) with
Tonaquint, Inc. (“Tonaquint”), in the principal amounts of $310,000, $255,000 and $125,000, The
first convertible debenture under the agreement was issued on August 22, 2012 for $310,000, less a discount of $60,000 and $10,000
in expenses. On October 5, 2012, due to a delisting default, an amendment was entered into which called for one of the
additional convertible debentures to be issued in the principle amount of $155,000 (less a $25,000 discount and $5,000 in fees)
and the second in the principal amount of $125,000, to be issued in the future. The debt discounts have been immediately
expensed, based upon the short term nature of the notes, and the insignificance of the amount as compared to the total Convertible
Debenture amount and to interest expense over the term of the note.
The
convertible debentures are convertible at $0.20, which is above the market value of the Company’s common stock on issuance
date, so there is no beneficial element recognized. As a condition of the amendment the outstanding balance of the first
note was increased to $412,990 (to be reduced by $50,000 if the note is paid on its maturity date). The notes are payable
on certain instalment dates, to be satisfied by conversion of the instalment amount, or cash, at the option of the Company (provided
no equity failure conditions, as defined in the agreement, exist, in which cash the instalment payment must be in cash.)
As part of the amendment, Tonaquint entered into a Pledge Agreement with Peter Hoffman, for 140,000 post split/7,000,000
pre split shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral against repayment of the note. In the event of a default
on the notes the holder may transfer and sell the pledged shares and apply the proceeds against the outstanding amounts on the
notes. (Note 3)
Convertible Debentures
The Company has evaluated the convertible
notes for embedded derivative features and has determined that no derivative liability exists.
Convertible debts are all convertible
to common stock on maturity at the option of the lender. They all bear interest at varying rates and convert at different times
and at fixed or variable conversion prices according to the contract.
Substantially
all of the convertible debentures issued in the year ended June 30, 2013 were in exchange for existing loans or other debt of
the Company, under assignment agreements between the original noteholder and the new noteholder. The exchanges were
evaluated for any gains or losses to be recognized upon extinguishment of the original debt, and it was determined there were
no gains or losses to be recognized.
The
Company has evaluated their convertible notes for embedded derivative features and has determined that no derivative liability
is necessary to recognize, as the varying conversion price is based on the trading value of the Company’s stock, which is
considered indexed to one’s own stock, and therefore is fixed, . Convertible debts are all convertible to common stock
at the option of the holder. They all bear interest at varying rates and convert at different times and conversion prices
according to the contract. The conversion features were evaluated for any beneficial aspect and determined that no
beneficial conversion feature is necessary to recognize.
NOTE 10 – EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Fourth
Quarter ended June 30, 2013 :
Between April 1, 2013 and June 30,
2013 the Company issued 37,130,383 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of $468,099 of notes payable, under
the original conversion terms of the convertible debentures.
The Company also issued 5,059,530
shares for services provided, with a fair value of $120,776, valued at the trading price of $XXX on the issuance date.
Third
Quarter ended March 31, 2013: (all figures quoted reflect the 1:50 reverse split on May 2, 2013)
Between
January 1, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company issued 3,552,522 common shares at an average price of $0.40 per
share.
| 2,450,293 | | |
common shares were issued in satisfaction of film and production debt totaling $844,707 converted at an average conversion price of $0.34 per share. |
| 612,350 | | |
common shares were issued in satisfaction of various expenses totaling $173,075 converted at an average conversion price of $0.28 per share. |
| 145,588 | | |

shares were issued as collateral in settlement of an outstanding judgment related to Nine Miles Down UK Ltd at $0.85 per share in satisfaction of a debt of $275,246 |
| 3,552,522 | | |
Total shares issued in the quarter |
The
shares issued as collateral arose out of a suit brought against Nine Miles Down UK Ltd, the original entity under which the film
9 Miles Down was being produced, as well as Seven Arts, among others. The suit put the entity into liquidation, and
rather than delay the production of the film, or harm the chain of title on the film, Seven Arts determined to settle the case. As
part of the settlement the Company is to pay £25,000 over a specified period of time, with restricted shares equal to the
amount issued as collateral. Additionally the settlement called for £150,000 restricted shares to be issued as
collateral against the liquidation proceeds in favour of the creditors. The restricted shares shall be released to
cover any shortfall not realized upon liquidation. As the Company has determined that it is unlikely for the liquidation
to realize significant proceeds, it is considered to be probable that the shares will be released to cover the shortfall. Therefore,
as of March 31, 2013, the Company has recognized the fair value of the shares held as collateral, or $275,246, as well as the
shares already released, as film costs.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Creditors
Liquidation of SAP Plc.
The Company’s listing predecessor
Seven Arts Pictures Plc. (‘PLC’) was placed by the English Companies Court into compulsory liquidation on November
8, 2011. The Company’s CEO, Mr. Peter Hoffman, as a director of PLC had sought an administration order but this request
was denied by the Courts as a result of inter alia the opposition of Parallel Pictures LLC (‘Parallel’). PLC’s
principal creditors have appointed a liquidator for the orderly winding up of its remaining assets not transferred to the Company
pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement, effective January 27, 2011.
Based on discussions with the liquidator,
our management believes this liquidation proceeding will have no material effect on the cost, business or market value of common
stock.
Further
Share Issue to SAE Inc.
On
June 11, 2010, Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc. (“SAE”), a Nevada Corporation, was formed and became a 100% owned subsidiary
of Seven Arts Pictures Plc. As of June 11, 2010, the Company entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement, as amended on January 27, 2011
and again on August 31, 2011, to transfer all of the assets with a cost basis from PLC to SAE, in exchange for assumption by SAE
of certain indebtedness and for one share of common stock of SAE for each ordinary share of PLC which have been distributed to
shareholders. Additionally, 2,000,000 shares of SAE were issued to PLC in order to satisfy any remaining obligations. SAE
Inc. may issue more shares of its common stock to resolve any claim made on the liquidation of PLC. The 2,000,000 pre-split shares
were originally booked on January 27, 2012 at the market price on the day the SEC approved the transaction i.e. $3.94/share. Management
now believe the shares should be booked at the August 31, 2012 market price of $0.66/share which is the date from which the shares
in SAE were tradeable.
807
Esplanade Guarantee
Seven Arts Pictures Louisiana LLC,
a related party and/or an affiliate of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement with Advantage Capital Community Development
Fund LLC dated October 11, 2007, for the acquisition and improvement of the production and post-production
facility located at 807 Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana (“807 Esplanade”) for aggregate principal
advances of up to $3,700,000. This agreement was guaranteed by the Company’s predecessor. Approximately $3,700,000
plus interest has been drawn under the terms of this Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2012. The Company has now assumed
the liability for $1,000,000 of this amount due to an agreement with the now mortgagor Palm Finance. A construction loan
of $1,850,000 previously guaranteed by the Company has now been assumed by the Company. The Company has a 30 year lease
on the property to operate a production and post-production facility.
As part of the assumption of the
mortgage and construction loans regarding 807 Esplanade, the Company has agreed to pay an additional $750,000 in connection with
the loan, contingent on the receipt of at least $5,000,000 in cash proceeds from the tax credits earned by SAPLA. As the Company
has determined it is not probable at this point that the $5,000,000 will be achieved, they have not recognized the $750,000 in
the accompanying financial statements.
Armadillo
The Company has guaranteed a $1,000,000
note plus interest due to Armadillo by the Employee Benefit Trust of the Company’s listing predecessor resulting from the
purchase of Seven Arts preferred stock from Armadillo.
Fireworks Litigation
The
Company obtained summary judgment on February 10, 2011 in an action in Ontario Superior Court, Canada, against CanWest Entertainment
and two of its affiliates (“CanWest”) confirming the Company’s ownership of five motion pictures Rules of
Engagement, An American Rhapsody, Who Is Cletis Tout, Onegin, and The Believer, (the “Copyrights”).
CineVisions v. Fireworks International, No. 03-CV-247553 CM2. The Company has filed on September 7, 2011, an action in the
High Court of England and Wales on September 7, 2011 against Content Media Corporation (“Content”) and Paramount Picture
Corp. (“Paramount”) to recover the Copyrights and substantial damages for the use of the copyrighted works after their
purported acquisition from CanWest. Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment v. Content Media Corp. No. HC11CO3046. The Company may
incur up to $200,000 in legal expenses to pursue this claim but expects to recover those fees from Content. The Company’s
motion for summary judgment against Content in the United Kingdom was denied demurred on March 18, 2013, but the dismissal did
not consider the merits of the Company’s claims, only that Content was not bound by the Canadian judgment. The Company has
also filed on May 27, 2011 an action in United States District Court in Los Angeles, California against Paramount Pictures for
infringement of the Copyrights. Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment v. Paramount Pictures Corp. No. CV 11-04603. This action
was dismissed on October 3, 2012 by the District Court based on a claimed application of the statute of limitation and we have
appealed to the Ninth Circuit No, 11-56759, the argument on which was heard on August 28, 2013.
Jonesfilm
Seven
Arts Pictures plc (“PLC”), the Company’s listing predecessor, its then-subsidiary Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment
Limited (“SAFE”) and Seven Arts Pictures Inc. (“SAP”), were the subject of an arbitration award of attorney
fees totaling approximately $ 246,000, with interest and charges, both of which were reduced to judgment in favor of Jonesfilm
(“JF ”) in a judgment dated June 19, 2007 entered by United States District Court in Los Angeles, California (“Judgment”).
This amount is included in Accrued Liabilities on the accompanying financial statements. JF asserts that the
Company is liable as the “successor in interest” to PLC, which the Company denies. JF has sought to enforce
the Judgment against SAFE, Mr. Hoffman and SAP in proceedings filed on July 28, 2009 in United States District Court in New Orleans,
Louisiana, in Case Nos. 09-4814/4815. Thereafter, Jonesfilm filed claims purportedly against the separate property
of Mr. Hoffman’s wife in Case Nos. 11-1994 and 12-0535. Mrs. Hoffman filed action against Jonesfilm to seek relief
(from Jonesfilm’s actions against her and her separate property). All proceedings are still pending.
Mr. Hoffman and SAFE have appealed to the Fifth Circuit (No. 11-311 24) an order of garnishment against Leeway and penalties and
legal fees awarded in connection with that order of garnishment, which appeal was denied. The Company does not believe it
owes any amounts over the amount already accrued above.
Arrowhead Target Fund
Seven Arts Future Flow I (“SFF”),
a limited liability company owned by SAP Inc., a company previously controlled by Mr. Hoffman, obtained financing from the Arrowhead
Target Fund, Ltd. (“Arrowhead”) of approximately $8,300,000 (the “Arrowhead Loan”). SFF secured
the Arrowhead Loan with liens on 12 motion pictures. The Company’s only liability is to repay the Arrowhead Loan from the
proceeds of the film assets pledged against the Arrowhead Loan. The Company is not required to repay the Arrowhead Loan from any
of its other assets or revenues. SAE’s subsidiary, SAFE, Ltd. was the collateral agent of the film assets.
The Arrowhead Loan became due in
February 2009 and SFF has not paid the outstanding principle and interest due thereon. Arrowhead has the right to foreclose on
the pledged film assets, but has not done so at the present time. SFF has received a default notice to this effect and as a result
Arrowhead is now collecting directly all sums receivable by the Company with respect to these motion pictures, and has appointed
a new servicing agent for these motion pictures with the result that the Company no longer controls the licensing of these motion
pictures. Failure to repay or refinance the Arrowhead Loan could result in a material disposition of assets through the loss of
the Company’s rights to the twelve motion pictures and related loss of revenues in amounts that are difficult to predict.
Arrowhead filed an action on September
22, 2010 in New York Supreme Court, New York, New York, Arrowhead Target Fund v. Hoffman No. 657481/2010, which seeks recovery
from the Company of the monies which the Company has retained under its interpretation of the relevant agreements with Arrowhead.
In addition, Arrowhead makes substantial additional claims against the Company, Mr. Hoffman and SAP Inc. regarding claimed breaches
of the terms of the operative agreements, including failure to properly account, failure to turn over materials, failure to remit
monies collected, and similar matters. The claims against the Company for these breaches of warranties for damages are $8,300,000
although Arrowhead states no basis for this amount.
The Company had moved to dismiss
the action against all defendants other than Seven Arts Future Flows I LLC, which is not part of the Company. On August 9, 2011,
the New York Supreme Court granted the Company’s motion and dismissed all defendants except Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment
Limited in its capacity as a collateral agent, which is not a material element of Arrowhead claim. The Company continues to believe
that Arrowhead’s claims against the Company are without substantial merit.
Arrowhead has purported to amend its claim against the Company
and the other defendants. The Company has moved for dismissal of these claims on the same grounds. A former counsel for SAFE and
Mr. Hoffman failed to appear at a hearing and the Court orally entered default against SAFE and Mr. Hoffman on October 7, 2013,
both of whom will move to vacate the order for the motion to dismiss based on lack of personal jurisdiction on the merits The
Company continues to believe that Arrowhead’s claims against the Company are without substantial merit and will vigorously
defend. The Company has accrued $744,000 as a loss contingency on this matter.
Arrowhead has purported to amend
its claim against the Company and the other defendants. The Company will seek dismissal of these claims on the same grounds. As
of June 30, 2013, and through the date of this filing, there have been no further development. The Company continues to
believe that Arrowhead’s claims against the Company are without substantial merit and will vigorously defend. The
Company has accrued $744,000 as a loss contingency on this matter.
Arrowhead Capital Partners –
ACG Loan
PLC, SAP and SAFE,
and several special purpose companies formed by SAP were named as defendants in an action by Arrowhead Capital Partners Ltd filed
in the Supreme Court of New York County of New York State served on May 24, 2010, seeking to collect $1,000,000 plus interest
(the “ACG Loan”) due to Arrowhead Consulting Group LLC (“ACG”) as well as foreclosure on the collateral
granted as part of the Cheyne Loan described above in Note 13 under “Production Loans”. Arrowhead Capital Finance
v. Seven Arts Pictures, No. 601199/10. The ACG Loan is fully subordinated to repayment of the Cheyne Loan, which has
not been repaid, and a subsidiary of the Company has been assigned all Cheyne’s rights under the subordination provision
of the Cheyne Loan. ACG and the Company filed our motion for summary judgment which resulted in summary judgment in
favor of ACG against SAFE, SAP and the special purpose companies. That summary judgment is on appeal to the New York
Court of Appeals. As of June 30, 2013, and the date of this filing, there has been no decision in the appeal.
The Company plans to vigorously defend this matter and cannot yet determine the probability
of the outcome. The Company has not accrued a loss contingency on this matter and it is not a defendant in this action.
Any claim against SAFE will be subject to the customary liquidation proceedings of SAFE under the law of the United Kingdom.
Investigation into Claim for
Tax Credits (SAPLA)/ Possible Litigation Re: Tax Credits
The US Attorney in New Orleans is
investigating claims for Louisiana film infrastructure tax credits including such tax credits to be claimed by Seven Arts
Pictures Louisiana LLC (“SAPLA”) and has issued subpoenas for discovery of documents in the possession of the Company
related to these tax credits. The Company has complied with that subpoena on March 15, 2012.
This investigation appears to include
investigation as to whether certain expenses claimed by this affiliate were improper or fraudulent. All such claimed expenses
were audited by independent auditors in Louisiana and reviewed by counsel. Management believes that this investigation will have
no material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or the total tax credits to be received by the Company’s affiliates,
but could result in charges against current or former employees of this affiliate based on prior audits, including Mr. Hoffman.
SAPLA, controlled by Mr. Hoffman’s
wife, filed legal action in the 19th District Court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in August, 2013 to require the Louisiana
Department of Economic Development and State Historic Preservation Office to certify the tax credits due SAPL A, the proceeds
of which have been assigned to the Company.
Parallel Action
On June 28, 2011, Seven Arts Pictures
Plc. (“PLC”) filed an action in the High Court of England against Parallel Media LLC (“Parallel”) to collect
sums due to PLC with respect to acquisition of distribution rights in Russia to four motion pictures and to confirm Parallel’s
obligations under both a signed and unsigned investment agreement with respect to the motion picture project Winter Queen. On
the same day Parallel filed a petition to wind up and liquidate PLC in the Companies Courts of England based on its claim of repayment
of $1,000,000 of investment made by Parallel in Winter Queen. PLC is no longer part of the Company.
On September 19, 2011, Parallel filed a
new action against PLC and SAE in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles, asserting the same claims as in the winding
up petition and seeking to enjoin the proposed administration proceedings in England. Parallel Media v. Seven Arts Entertainment,
No. SC114182. A request for a preliminary injunction was denied by the Superior Court. Parallel was permitted to pursue
a claim in the Los Angeles Superior Court for alleging that the Asset Transfer Agreement dated July 1, 2011 between PLC and the
Company (“ATA”) was not for fair consideration. Parallel’s motion for summary judgment has been denied.
The Company believes that a favorable decision by the liquidator as discussed above will resolve this action in the Company’s
favor. The Company has not accrued for a loss contingency in this matter. The potential loss to the Company could be between $million
and $1.75 million.
The liquidator has been advised in a letter
from its counsel dated October 10, 2013, that the Company may be obligated to reimburse the liquidator for additional shares of
the Company’s common stock by reason of the reduction in the value of the Company’s common stock issued to PLC pursuant
to the ATA, from July 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011. The Company had previously offered to the liquidator to make such an adjustment
in the consideration paid pursuant to the ATA. The Company intends to negotiate an amicable resolution of this issue with the liquidator
which counsel believes should resolve any claims by Parallel.
HMRC Investigation
On July 19, 2011 Officers of Her
Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) attended the offices of Seven Arts Pictures Plc. (the “Company”)
in London. Documents were retained appertaining to arrangements involving the subscription for shares in a number of companies
which had lost value, resulting in subscribers making claims to tax relief.
The Company’s participation
in these transactions was limited to the Company’s predecessor’s transfer of rights to certain motion pictures to
the investors in return for their investments in the production and release costs of those pictures and making available the provision
of loans to fund a portion of those investments. The Company received no tax benefits from the transactions, which were made on
arms-length terms. The Company believes that it is not a subject of the HMRC investigation.
In connection with the transactions,
the Company did not make any representations or warranties to any party, including the investors, regarding any potential tax
benefits related to the transactions. Prior to the closing of the transactions the investors obtained and made available to the
Company, an opinion of prominent Queen’s counsel, specializing in United Kingdom tax laws, that the transactions were permitted
and acceptable under the terms of the applicable United Kingdom revenue laws. The Company remains confident that the transactions
were permitted and acceptable under the terms of the applicable United Kingdom revenue laws.
HMRC has requested interviews with
three officers of PLC to discuss whether those officers were involved in the arrangements for subscription of shares in the relevant
companies, the first of which with Ms. Elaine New, CFO, occurred in April 2012 and a second in May 2012. PLC is fully cooperating
with the investigation. PLC believes there is no basis for any claim of responsibility of any of its officers or employees. Based
on facts currently known by PLC, there is no need for it to record a contingent liability in its financial statements in connection
with the investigation or the related transactions.

December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2012 the Company has vacated the additional space, and the landlord has leased the space to
new tenants. The Company and management are negotiating a settlement on the termination of the lease, for which $75,000 has been
included in accrued expenses.
NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and other accrued expenses and other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate
their fair values because of the relatively short maturity of those instruments.
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures”, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the
valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has
the ability to access.
Level 2 - Inputs to the
valuation methodology include:
| ● | quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
active
markets; |
| ● | quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
inactive
markets; |
| ● | inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
asset
or
liability; |
| ● | inputs
that
are
derived
principally
from
or
corroborated
by
observable
market
data by
correlation
or
other
means. |
If
the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term
of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Inputs to the
valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The asset or liability’s fair
value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair
value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs.
The preceding method described may
produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore,
although the Company believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different
methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value
measurement at the reporting date. As of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, all of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities
were considered current and due to the short maturity the carrying amounts are considered to approximate fair value.

Debt issuances:
On June 14, 2013, the Company entered into a debt agreement for approximately $216,000 to cover expenses connected to its'
film "Schism". The note was not finalized and funded until subsequent to year end, and therefore is not recognized in the
loan balance outstanding as of June 30, 2013. The note is due October 31, 2013 and bears interest at 10%.
On September 15,
2013, the Company issued a convertible note for $50,000, due March 15, 2014. The note is convertible at the lessor of $0.003
or 65% of the closing price on the trading day prior to the holder's exercise of the note.

entered into three convertible notes, with two parties. One party acquired convertible notes in the amount of $50,000 and
$10,000, the second party's note was in the amount of $10,000. All three notes are due on April 1, 2014, and have the same
conversion rate of $0.002, with certain reset rights.
SAFE UK in liquidaton:
On Wednesday, October 9, 2013, Seven Arts Filmed Entertainment
Limited (“SAFE”), agreed to voluntary creditors liquidation under the terms of English law. One of SAFE’s
creditors, Content Media, is seeking to convert this proceeding into an involuntary creditors’ liquidation and has filed
a petition in the Company’s Court, part of the High Court of London and Wales, No. ________. SAFE’s agreement
to voluntary creditors liquidation follows from the termination of its business by reason of the Asset Transfer Agreement between
the Company and SAFE dated January 3, 2012 and the termination of SAFE’s activities in the United Kingdom in May, 2013.
SAFE’s voluntary liquidation was supported by its and the Company’s principal creditor, Palm Finance Inc., which controls
more than 50% of the aggregate indebtedness of SAFE.
Sixteen19:
In October
of 2012, SAFELA began negotiations with Sixteen19, a post production and digital production facility with offices in New York,
Los Angeles and London, to run the operations of the production facility located at 807 Esplanade Avenue on New Orleans. As
of this date the parties have not completed a formal agreement. It is not contemplated that there will be a new company
formed for this joint venture, but rather a contracted partnership between SAFELA and Sixteen19. The name of the facility has
been agreed to be French Quarter Film Center.
The basic
terms of the agreement to run the facility were agreed in early December as follows: SAFELA and Sixteen19 agreed to joint operational
control of the facility. For any business which utilized residential or office space at the facility, SAFELA will earn 80% of
the gross revenue and pay Sixteen19 a 20% commission. For any business which was considered editorial or digital daily work, Sixteen19
will earn 80% of the gross revenue and pay SAFELA a 20% commission. There was an agreed set of “base rates” and any
deviation below the agreed level of base rates for any new business will have to be mutually agreed by Kate Hoffman on behalf
of SAFELA and Pete Conlin on behalf of Sixteen19. In addition, SAFELA agreed to pay 100% of the costs associated with the running
of the building, including but not limited to all utilities, cleaning, gardening, sundry supplies and repairs to any damage to
the facility that did not included technical issues. Sixteen19 agreed to pay 100% of the equipment and personnel costs associated
with the editorial and digital daily business. In addition, SAFELA and Sixtyeen19 agreed to split the salary of a facility manager
50/50.
During
the year ended June 30, 2013 the joint venture did contract some work with CBS Sports which was purely editorial and digital daily
work performed at the facility. As such, SAFELA is entitled to a twenty percent commission of the gross revenue paid
by CBS Sports to Sixteen19.
On August
29, 2013, Vince Vellardita resigned as Chairman and a Director and employee of Seven Arts Entertainment Inc., and its affiliates
(the "Company"). Mr. Vellardita will be issued $40,000 in newly issued common stock of SAE, with a restrictive legend
under Rule 144. Mr Vellardita will appoint the Company as an agent to license of the television series “AJ Time Traveler”
pursuant to a customary distribution agreement subject to good faith negotiation with standard industry parameters. The terms
of the agency shall be two years with a commission of 25% to Mr Vellardita of actual collections, whenever such collections are
made. Mr Vellardita shall have approval of any cost incurred by the Company above $5,000 in relation to the licensing of “AJ
Time Traveler”.
Form S-1:
The Company
is currently in the process of responding to SEC comments on the registration statement on Form S-1 which was filed with the SEC
on January 22, 2013.
NOTE 15 –
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company is restating the consolidated
financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company identified certain errors as follows:
| · | The
Company
recognized
$4,489,721
for forgiveness
of debt
and interest
for the
year ended
June 30,
2011 based
on a verbal
agreement
with the
lender.
However,
it was
not until
October
of 2011
that all
the other
terms
and issues
of the
Forbearance
and Workout
Agreement
#6 (“Forbearance
agreement”)
were memorialized
in a formal
agreement.
Management
originally
concluded
the verbal
agreement
and finalized
agreement
were sufficient
evidential
matter
to support
the determination
that the
forgiveness
could
be recognized
during
the year
ended
June 30,
2011.
Management
has revisited
this conclusion
and has
instead
determined,
based
on the
executed
formal
agreements,
to recognize
the forgiveness
as of
the date
the Forbearance
Agreement
was finalized,
on October
28, 2011.
Therefore,
the gain
on forgiveness
of debt
and interest
has been
restated
to be
recognized
during
the year
ended
June 30,
2012,
instead
of June
30, 2011. |
| | |
| · | During
the year
ended
June 30,
2012,
the Company
had recognized
$6,459,247
as a one
time “Change
in estimate
on impairment
of film
costs”.
The Company
is reclassifying
this amount
to properly
be included
as a component
of Cost
of Revenue. |
| | |
| · | The
Company
recognized
$7,540,898
for “Fee
related
revenue
–
related
party”
in the
year ended
June 30,
2012.
The amounts
were clearly
labeled
and disclosed
as between
the Company
and a
related
party,
on both
the face
of the
financial
statements
as well
as in
the footnote
disclosures.
Upon further
reflection,
management
has determined
a more
appropriate
treatment
of the
transaction
would
be to
recognize
as revenue
an amount
equal
to the
fair value
for the
services
as if
it had
occurred
between
unrelated
third
parties.
The fair
value
of $3,235,000
was determined
based
on the
amounts
stated
as “qualified
expenses”
and determined
to be
reasonable
and industry
standard
in the
required
audit
of the
cost report
of infrastructure
expenditures
done performed
by an
independent
accounting
firm.
Therefore,
the “Fee
related
revenue
–
related
party”
has been
restated
during
the year
ended
June 30,
2012,
from $7,540,898
to $3,235,000.. |
| | |
| · | During
the year
ended
June 30,
2012 the
Company
revalued
Series
B Preferred
Stock
that had
been issued
in an
acquisition
for music
assets,
as an
acquisition
price
adjustment
during
the measurement
period.
The “revalue”
of the
Series
B Preferred
Stock
resulted
in a journal
entry
that debited
the Series
B Preferred
Stock
and credited
the Music
Assets
by $4,400,684.
Upon re-examination
of the
facts
and accounting
literature,
management
also has
determined
that the
events
on which
the decision
to remeasure
the Series
B Preferred
Stock
during
the measurement
period
did not
in fact
reflect
circumstances
that existed
at the
acquisition
date.
Furthermore,
as the
Series
B Preferred
Stock
was determined
to be
classified
as permanent
equity
it should
not have
been remeasured
after
initial
measurement.
Therefore,
the financial
statements
have been
restated
to reflect
this correction
of an
error,
resulting
in an
increase
to both
the Music
Assets
and Series
B by $4,400,684. |
As a result of the increase
to Music Assets as of June 30, 2012, the Company re-evaluated it’s impairment analysis for this date, which has resulted
in the recognition of a $3,035,000 impairment in the year ended June 30, 2012.
| · | The
Company
entered
into
an
agreement
with
Mr.
Hoffman
whereby
he
pledged
25,000,000
(pre-splits)
shares
to
a
certain
noteholder
as
collateral
against
the
debt.
The
shares
pledged
were
newly
issued
to
Mr.
Hoffman,
and
under
the
Company’s
original
accounting
treatment
the
Company
charged
the
issuance
of
the
shares
against
Mr.
Hoffman’s
Due
to
account.
However,
per
further
research
of
the
transaction,
if
the
pledged
shares
are
sold
and
applied
to
the
note
balance,
or
if
the
shares
are
not
utilized
by
the
pledges
and
returned
to
the
Company,
Mr.
Hoffman’s
Due
to
related
party
balance
as
of
the
date
of
the
agreements,
will
be
reinstated.
Due
to
the
future
obligation
to
in
substance
repurchase
the
shares
and
reinstate
the
Due
to
related
party
balance,
it
has
been
determined
the
shares
should
have
been
treated
as
if
issued
for
no
consideration,
with
only
recognition
of
the
number
of
shares
issued
at
par,
with
an
offset
to
APIC. |
