Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004
Item 6. Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operation, page 5
1. We note from your disclosure that consulting fees significantly
decreased in December 31, 2004 to $13,105, from $288,255 in
December
31, 2003. Given the magnitude of this decrease, please explain in
further detail the specific nature and timing of the events or
circumstances that resulted in this consulting fee decrease. As
part
of your response, you should quantify the dollar impact of each
component that contributed to the decrease in consulting fees year
over year.
2. We note from your disclosure that you no longer operate an
online
movie division. In this regard, please tell us why you have not
reflected the operating results of the on-line movie business
component, as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
See
paragraphs 41 through 44 of SFAS No. 144 for guidance. We may
have
further comment upon receipt of your response.
Item 7. Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
G. Loss per Common Share, page F-7
3. Please revise future filings to disclose those securities that
could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not
included in the computation of diluted EPS because to due so would
have been antidilutive for the periods presented. Please refer to
the requirements in paragraph 40 of SFAS No. 128.
H. Marketable Securities, page F-7
4. We note from your balance sheet that marketable securities have
increased significantly in comparison to the December 31, 2003
comparable balance. We also note that marketable securities
comprise
approximately 65% of your total assets as of December 31, 2004.
Given the increasing significance of these marketable securities,
please revise your footnote disclosure in future filings to
include
the disclosures required by paragraph 19, 20, and 21 of SFAS No.
115,
as applicable. As part of your response, please provide us with
your
proposed disclosure.
5. Additionally we note the following from your filings:
* A loss on the sale of marketable securities in the amount of
$8,026
is reflected in your statement of cash flow for the year ended
December 31, 2004
* You do not have a "cash flow from investing activities" section
in
your statement of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2004
reflecting the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.
* You do not disclose any non-cash activity related to the sale of
marketable securities.
* In your Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30,
2004
we note from your statement of cash flows for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 2004 that you received cash proceeds from the
sale of marketable securities.
In this regard, please fully and clearly explain to us why your
December 31, 2004 statement of cash flows does not reflect cash
proceeds from the sale of marketable securities for the current
fiscal year or revise your filing accordingly.
K. Impairment of long-lived assets, page F-7
6. Please enhance future filings to include the disclosures
required
by paragraph 47 of SFAS No. 142. Furthermore, please revise MD&A
to
include a discussion of the facts and circumstances that resulted
in
the intangible asset impairment charge recognized during 2003.
Note 4. Prepaid Expenses, page F-8
7. We note from your disclosure that you received prepaid
advertising, valued at $29,500. In exchange you agreed to provide
$29,500 of advertising. In future filing, please enhance your
disclosure to include the amount of revenue you recognized from
the
advertising barter transactions for each period a statement of
operations is presented. In addition, please tell us if you engage
in
advertising barter transactions for which the fair value is not
determinable within the limits of EITF 99-17. Please note that if
you
engage in such advertising barter transactions, information
regarding
the volume and type of advertising surrendered and received (such
as
the number of equivalent pages, the number of minutes, or the
overall
percentage of advertising volume) should be disclose for each
period
a statement of operations is presented. As part of your response,
please provide us with your proposed disclosure.
Note 7. Stock Option Plan, page F-8
8. Based on the disclosure in Note 6 to the financial statement in
the 2003 Form 10-K, it appears that you have outstanding warrants
as
of December 31, 2004. Please revise the notes to your financial
statements to disclose the number of outstanding warrants, the
exercise prices and the expiration dates for the warrants. As
part
of your response, please provide us with your proposed disclosure.
