This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws relating to Beta Music Group, Inc. (“Beta”, “Beta Music” “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) which represent our current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning our operations, performance, and financial condition. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, and our ability to continue growth. Statements in this annual report about the Company’s future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects constitute forward-looking statements. You should also see our risk factors as set forth in this Form 10-K. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, anticipate”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, or “continue” or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward- looking statements. Other matters such as our growth strategy and competition are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.


Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

We are under no duty to update such forward-looking statements.

PART I


ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Beta Music Group Inc. (“BETA”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Florida corporation incorporated in the state of Florida on July 5, 2006 under the name Pop Starz Productions, Inc. On November 15, 2007 we changed our name to The Next Pop Star Inc. Our original business endeavor was to produce live entertainment competitions (in installments or episodes) to be taped and/or filmed for distribution by television and/or internet means. We were not successful and refocused our operations. In conjunction with this change in our business focus, on October 23, 2008 we changed our name to Beta Music Group, Inc.

 

The Company, through its former subsidiary, Famous Records, Corp., business focus was to establish contact with new artists who write their own songs (“singer-songwriters”) and produce their own work. With limited capital we were not successful.

 

In December 2009 there was a change in the Company’s control and new management was appointed. In connection with this change in control, Beta spun-off the operations of Delta Entertainment Group, Inc, the holding company for Famous Records, pursuant to a stock dividend to the shareholders of record of Beta on December 15, 2009. These shareholders received one share of common stock of Delta for every one share of Beta. The spin-off was effective April 12, 2010. Since the completion of the spin-off, the Company has had no operations. Its current objective is to identify potential business acquisitions.

 

GENERAL:

 

Since we no longer have operations, our focus will be to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other similar business combination (a “Business Combination”) with an operating or development stage business (the “Target Business”) which desires to utilize our status as a reporting corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). We intend to seek potential business opportunities and effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business with significant growth potential which, in the opinion of our management, could provide a profit to both the Company and our shareholders. We intend to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long term growth as opposed to short term earnings. Our efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business are expected to emphasize businesses primarily located in the United States; however, we reserves the right to acquire a Target Business located elsewhere. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target Business, as a result of our limited resources, we will, in all likelihood, have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. We may effect a Business Combination with a Target Business which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Our management may become involved in management of the Target Business and/or may hire qualified but as yet unidentified individuals to manage such Target Business. Presently, we have no plans, proposals, agreements, understandings or arrangements to acquire or merge with any specific business or company, and we have not identified any specific business or company for investigation and evaluation.

 

“SHELL” CORPORATION

 

We were previously a developmental stage company with limited operations. Currently, we have virtually no business operations and expect to conduct none in the future, other than our efforts to effectuate a Business Combination. As a result we can be characterized as a “shell” corporation. As a shell corporation, we face special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. We face all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties related to such companies. We are dependent upon the efforts of our sole officer and director to effectuate a Business Combination. Assuming he is successful in identifying a Business Combination, it is unlikely our shareholders will have an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one or more Business combinations and will have no control over the decision making relating to such.

 

Due to our limited capital resources, the consummation of a Business Combination will likely involve the acquisition of, or merger or consolidation with, a company that does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for our shares, while avoiding what it might deem to be the adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various federal and state securities laws that regulate initial public offerings. A Target Business might desire, among other reasons, to create a public market for their shares in order to enhance liquidity for current shareholders, facilitate raising capital through the public sale of securities of which a prior existence of a public market for our securities exists, and/or acquire additional assets through the issuance of securities rather than for cash.


- 1 -



We cannot estimate the time that it will take to effectuate a Business Combination. It could be time consuming; possibly in excess of many months. Additionally, no assurance can be made that we will be able to effectuate a Business Combination on favorable terms.

 

We might identify and effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business which proves to be unsuccessful for any number of reasons, many of which are due to the fact that the Target Business is not identified at this time. If this occurs, the Company and our shareholders might not realize any type of profit.

 

UNSPECIFIED INDUSTRY AND TARGET BUSINESS.

 

We will seek to acquire a Target Business without limiting ourselves to a particular industry. Most likely, the Target Business will be primarily located in the United States, although we reserve the right to acquire a Target Business located outside the United States. In seeking a Target Business, we will consider, without limitation, businesses which (i) offer or provide services or develop, manufacture or distribute goods in the United States or abroad, including, without limitation, in the following areas: Internet services, real estate, health care and health products, educational services, environmental services, consumer-related products and services (including amusement, entertainment and/or recreational services), personal care services, voice and data information processing and transmission and related technology development or (ii) is engaged in wholesale or retail distribution. To date, we have not selected any particular industry or any Target Business in which to concentrate our Business Combination efforts. Accordingly, we are only able to make general disclosures concerning the risks and hazards of effectuating a Business Combination with a Target Business since there is presently no current basis for us to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the Target Business or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate.

 

To the extent that we effect a Business Combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth (including entities without established records of sales or earnings), we will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a Business Combination with a Target Business in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries which experience rapid growth. Although management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or Target Business, there can be no assurances that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

 

PROBABLE LACK OF BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION.

 

As a result of our limited resources, in all likelihood, we will have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. Accordingly, our prospects for success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business.

 

Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several Business Combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, it is highly unlikely that we will have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from spreading risks or offsetting losses. Our probable lack of diversification could subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination. The prospects for our success may become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. Accordingly, notwithstanding the possibility of management assistance to the Target Business by us, there can be no assurance that the Target Business will prove to be commercially viable.

 

LIMITED ABILITY TO EVALUATE TARGET BUSINESS’ MANAGEMENT.

 

While our ability to successfully effect a Business Combination will be dependent upon certain key personnel, the future role of such personnel in the Target Business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. There can be no assurance that current management will remain associated in any operational capacity with the Company following a Business Combination. Moreover, there can be no assurances that current management will have any experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular Target Business. Furthermore, although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective Target Business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a Business Combination, there can be no assurances that our assessment of such management will prove to be correct, especially since none of our management are professional business analysts. See “Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons”.


- 2 -



Accordingly, we will be dependant, in some significant respects, on the ability of the management of the Target Business who are unidentifiable as of the date hereof. In addition, there can be no assurances that such future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. We may also seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the Target Business. There can be no assurances that we will have the ability to recruit such additional managers, or that such additional managers will have the requisite skill, knowledge or experience necessary or desirable to enhance the incumbent management.

 

OPPORTUNITY FOR SHAREHOLDER EVALUATION OR APPROVAL OF BUSINESS COMBINATIONS.

 

Our shareholders will, in all likelihood, not receive nor otherwise have the opportunity to evaluate any financial or other information which will be made available to us in connection with selecting a potential Business Combination until after we have entered into an agreement to effectuate a Business Combination. Such agreement to effectuate a Business Combination, however, may be subject to shareholder approval pursuant to applicable law. As a result, our shareholders will be almost entirely dependent on the judgment and experience of management in connection with the selection and ultimate consummation of a Business Combination. In addition, under Florida law, the form of Business Combination could impact upon the availability of dissenters’ rights (i.e., the right to receive fair payment with respect to the Company’s Common Stock) to shareholders disapproving the proposed Business Combination.

 

SELECTION OF A TARGET BUSINESS AND STRUCTURING OF A BUSINESS COMBINATION.

 

We anticipate that the selection of a Target Business will be complex and risky because of competition for such business opportunities among all segments of the financial community. The nature of our search for the acquisition of a Target Business requires maximum flexibility inasmuch as we will be required to consider various factors and circumstances which may preclude meaningful direct comparison among the various business enterprises, products or services investigated. Investors should recognize that the possible lack of diversification among our acquisitions may not us to offset potential losses from one venture against profits from another. We have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective Target Business. In addition, in evaluating a prospective Target Business, management will consider, among other factors, the following factors which are not listed in any particular order:

 

- financial condition and results of operation of the Target Business;

 

- growth potential and projected financial performance of the Target Business and the industry in which it operates;

 

- experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel of the Target Business;

 

- capital requirements of the Target Business;

 

- the availability of a transaction exemption from registration pursuant to the Securities Act for the Business Combination;

 

- the location of the Target Business;

 

- competitive position of the Target Business;

 

- stage of development of the product, process or service of the Target Business;

 

- degree of current or potential market acceptance of the product, process or service of the Target Business;

 

- possible proprietary features and possible other protection of the product, process or service of the Target Business;

 

- regulatory environment of the industry in which the Target Business operates;

 

- costs associated with effecting the Business Combination; and

 

- equity interest in and possible management participation in the Target Business.


- 3 -



The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive; any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular Business Combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by us in connection with effecting a Business Combination consistent with our business objective. In many instances, it is anticipated that the historical operations of a Target Business may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future because of the possible need to shift marketing approaches substantially, expand significantly, change product emphasis, change or substantially augment management, or make other changes.


We will be dependent upon the owners of a Target Business to identify any such problems which may exist and to implement, or be primarily responsible for the implementation of, required changes. Because we may engage in a Business Combination with a newly organized firm or with a firm which is entering a new phase of growth, we will incur further risks, because in many instances, management of the Target Business will not have proven its abilities or effectiveness, the eventual market for the products or services of the Target Business will likely not be established, and the Target Business may not be profitable subsequent to a Business Combination.

 

Our limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a Target Business before we commit our capital or other resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if we had more funds available to it, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor, or others associated with the business opportunity seeking our participation.

 

In connection with our evaluation of a prospective Target Business, management anticipates that it will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial or other information which will be made available to us. The time and costs required to select and evaluate a Target Business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and consummate the Business Combination (including negotiating relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Management only devotes a small portion of their time to the operations of the Company, and accordingly, consummation of a Business Combination may require a greater period of time than if management devoted its full time to the Company’s affairs.

 

However management will devote such time as they deem reasonably necessary, to carry out the business and affairs of the Company, including the evaluation of potential Target Businesses and the negotiation of a Business Combination and, as a result, the amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether we have identified a Target Business or are engaged in active negotiations of a Business Combination. Any costs incurred in connection with the identification and evaluation of a prospective Target Business with which a Business Combination is not ultimately consummated will result in a loss to the Company and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a Business Combination or for the resulting entity to utilize. In the event we deplete our cash reserves, we might be forced to cease operations and a Business Combination might not occur.


We anticipate that we will locate and make contact with Target Businesses primarily through the reputation and efforts of management, who will meet personally with existing management and key personnel, visit and inspect material facilities, assets, products and services belonging to such prospects, and undertake such further reasonable investigation as they deem appropriate. Management has a network of business contacts and believes that prospective Target Businesses will be referred to the Company through these network of contacts.

 

We also expect that many prospective Target Businesses will be brought to our attention from various other non-affiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers, and other members of the financial community. We have neither the present intention, nor does the present potential exist for us, to consummate a Business Combination with a Target Business in which our management, promoters, or their affiliates or associates directly or indirectly have a pecuniary interest, although no existing corporate policies would prevent this from occurring. Although there are no current plans to do so, we may engage the services of professional firms that specialize in finding business acquisitions and pay a finder’s fee or other compensation. Since we have no current plans to utilize any outside consultants or advisors to assist in a Business Combination, no policies have been adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service, or regarding the total amount of fees that may be paid. However, because of our limited resources, it is likely that any such fee we agree to pay would be paid in stock and not in cash. In no event will we pay a finder’s fee or commission to any officer or director or to any entity with which they are affiliated for such service.


- 4 -



As a general rule, Federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of business combinations. We will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective Business Combination and will endeavor to structure a Business Combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment for us, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our tax treatment of a particular consummated Business Combination.

 

To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a Business Combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to us, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. Tax considerations as well as other relevant factors will be evaluated in determining the precise structure of a particular Business Combination, which could be effected through various forms of a merger, consolidation or stock or asset acquisition.


We will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. To the extent that such additional shares are issued, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur. Additionally, if a substantial number of shares of Common Stock are issued in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, a change in our control is likely to occur which will likely affect, among other things, our ability to utilize net operating loss carry forwards, if any.

 

Any such change in control may also result in the resignation or removal of our present officer and director. If there is a change in management, no assurance can be given as to the experience or qualification of such persons, either in the operation of our activities or in the operation of the business, assets or property being acquired. Management considers it likely that in order to consummate a Business Combination, a change in control will occur; therefore, management anticipates offering a controlling interest to a Target Business in order to effectuate a Business Combination.

 

Management may actively negotiate for or otherwise consent to the disposition of any portion of their Common Stock as a condition to or in connection with a Business Combination. Therefore, it is possible that the terms of any Business Combination will provide for the sale of some shares of Common Stock held by management. It is likely that none of our other shareholders will be afforded the right to sell their shares of Common Stock in connection with a Business Combination pursuant to the same terms that Management will be provided. There are currently no limitations relating to our ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to us to effect a Business Combination or otherwise finance the operations of the Target Business. However, our limited resources and lack of operating history could make it difficult for us to borrow additional funds from other sources. The amount and nature of any borrowings by us will depend on numerous considerations, including our capital requirements, potential lenders’ evaluation of our ability to meet debt service on borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. We do not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that such arrangements if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms commercially acceptable or otherwise in our best interests. Our inability to borrow funds required to effect or facilitate a Business Combination, or to provide funds for an additional infusion of capital into a Target Business, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to effect a Business Combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest. Furthermore, a Target Business may have already incurred debt financing and, therefore, all the risks inherent thereto.

 

If our securities are issued as part of an acquisition, such securities are required to be issued either in reliance upon exemptions from registration under applicable federal or state securities laws or registered for public distribution. We intend to primarily target only those companies where an exemption from registration would be available; however, since the structure of the Business Combination has yet to be determined, no assurances can be made that we will be able to rely on such exemptions. Registration of securities typically requires significant costs and time delays are typically encountered. In addition, the issuance of additional securities and their potential sale in any trading market which might develop in our Common Stock, of which there is presently no trading market and no assurances can be given that one will develop, could depress the price of our Common Stock in any market which may develop in our Common Stock. Further, such issuance of additional securities would result in a decrease in the percentage ownership of present shareholders.


Due to our small size and limited amount of capital, our ability to raise additional capital if and when needed could be constrained. Until such time as any enterprise, product or service which we acquire generates revenues sufficient to cover operating costs, it is conceivable that we could find ourselves in a situation where it needs additional funds in order to continue our operations. This need could arise at a time when we are unable to borrow funds and when market acceptance for the sale of additional shares of our Common Stock does not exist.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

 

Management is not required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, such persons may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. Our affiliates, officers and directors may engage in other business activities similar and dissimilar to those we are engaged in. To the extent that management engages in such other activities, they will have possible conflicts of interest in diverting opportunities to other companies, entities or persons with which they are or may be associated or have an interest, rather than diverting such opportunities to us. As no policy has been established for the resolution of such a conflict, we could be adversely affected should management choose to place their other business interests before ours. No assurance can be given that such potential conflicts of interest will not cause us to lose potential opportunities. Management may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Management may have conflicts of interest in determining which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, management may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise in connection with evaluations of a particular business opportunity by the board of directors with respect to the foregoing criteria. There can be no assurances that any of the foregoing conflicts will be resolved in our favor. We may consider Business Combinations with entities owned or controlled by persons other than those persons described above. There can be no assurances that any of the foregoing conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

 

INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT AND OTHER REGULATION

 

We may participate in a Business Combination by purchasing, trading or selling the securities of such Target Business. We do not, however, intend to engage primarily in such activities. Specifically, we intend to conduct our activities so as to avoid being classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Act”), and therefore to avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011 and, based on his evaluation, and, has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, we assessed, as of December 31, 2011, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment using those criteria, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, was effective.

 

Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:


- 9 -



 

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

 

 

 

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and

 

 

 

 

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.

 

We have one director. We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee. We do not have sufficient funds to secure officer and directors insurance and we do not believe that we will be able to retain an independent Board of Directors in the immediate future. We do not believe that we will be able to attract independent board members until such time as we acquire an operating business.

 

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the holders of our Common Stock or until removed from office in accordance with our by-laws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors.

 

PENALTIES OR SANCTIONS

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

For companies registered pursuant to section 12(g) of the Exchange Act,

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis for the period which this report relates.


ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

 

Our current CEO has not been paid any compensation since assuming office in December 2009 and there is no employment agreement in place. The Company has not set any parameters to pay any salaries. We believe that any compensation to be paid should be based on the belief that any compensation programs should: be aligned with stockholders’ interests and business objectives; reward performance; and be externally competitive and internally equitable. We may compensate our officers with cash compensation and equity awards.

 

The following table discloses compensation paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the most highly compensated executive officer whose total compensation exceeded $100,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”). No restricted stock awards, long-term incentive plan payouts or other types of compensation, other than the compensation identified in the table below, were paid to the Named Executive Officers during these fiscal years.

AUDIT FEES. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered was $7,000 and $7,500 for 2011 and 2010 respectively.

- 12 -



ALL OTHER FEES. Other than the services described above, there were no other services provided by our principal accountants for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

We do not have an audit committee. Therefore, our entire Board of Directors (the “Board”) serves in the capacity of the audit committee. In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, our Board obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and us that might bear on the auditors’ independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.”

 

Our Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence. The Board also discussed with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of its internal controls. The Board reviewed with the independent auditors their management letter on internal controls.

 

Our entire Board, acting in the capacity of the audit committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 with the independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for the examination of those statements. Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with the independent auditors our Board of Directors approved the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and recommended that they be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors of

Beta Music Group, Inc .

(a development stage company)

New York, New York


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Beta Music Group, Inc. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 and the  period from July 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2011. 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 in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011 and the period from July 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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 a working capital deficit and no source of revenue, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BETA MUSIC GROUP, INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1: Description of Company and Basis of Presentation

 

Beta Music Group, Inc. (“the Company” or “Beta”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 5, 2006 under the name Pop Starz Productions, Inc. On November 14, 2007 the name of the Company was changed to The Next Pop Star, Inc.  On October 20, 2008, the name was changed again to Beta Music Group, Inc.

 

The Company is currently a shell company and has limited continuing operations.   The Company intends to locate and combine with an existing company that is profitable or which, in management’s view, has growth potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged.   A combination may be structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange of the Company’s common stock for stock or assets or any other form.

 

Pending negotiation and consummation of a combination the Company anticipates that it will have, aside from carrying on its search for a combination partner, no business activities, and, thus, will have no source of revenue.  The Company does not currently have cash on hand sufficient to fund its operations until the earlier of a combination or a period of one year, and will be required to seek additional funding to consummate a transaction. The Company intends to either seek additional equity or debt financing.  No assurances can be given that such equity or debt financing will be available, nor can there be any assurance that a combination transaction will be consummated.  Should the Company be required to incur any significant liabilities prior to a combination transaction, including those associated with the current minimal level of general and administrative expenses, it may not be able to satisfy those liabilities in the event it was unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing.


Development Stage


The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard  ASC 915-15 and the Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act 7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.

 

Going Concern

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit and no revenue source. As such, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have sufficient working capital for its planned activities, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through short-term loans from related parties and additional equity investments, which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year.

 

Note 2: Summary of Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less.


Concentration of Credit Risk:

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. Deposits are insured to FDIC limits. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 there was no uninsured cash.


F-6



BETA MUSIC GROUP, INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Other financial instruments include notes payable and amounts due to related parties for wages and advances. Due to the short-term maturity of these obligations and the stated interest rates on notes payable, the carrying value of these instruments represent their fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

We currently do not have any revenue generating activities, however, revenues will be recognized when all of the following have been met:

 

 

·

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

·

Delivery or service has been performed;

 

·

The customer’s fee is deemed to be fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties

 

·

Collectability is probable.

 

Advertising:

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. We did not incur any advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.

 

Income Taxes:

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized currently for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely that such assets will not be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a net deferred tax asset. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets and review the amount of such allowance annually. When we determine certain deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be utilized, we will reduce our valuation allowance accordingly.

 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions, nor do we anticipate any significant unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during the next 12 months. Any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. We are subject to tax audits for our U.S. federal and certain state tax returns for the tax years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.


Income (Loss) Per Share:

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed similar to basic net loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 diluted net loss per share is equivalent to basic net loss per share as the company did not have any potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new relevant accounting pronouncements that are in effect through the date of these financial statements. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

BETA MUSIC GROUP, INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 3: Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement and Discontinued Operations

 

In December 2009, certain shareholders entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell 13,711,676 shares of common stock held to an individual. Pursuant to that agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to spin off its subsidiaries to the shareholders of record as of December 15, 2009. The effective date was April 13, 2010. Accordingly, the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a loss from discontinued operations of $51,416 and a loss from discontinued operations since inception of $149,500.

 

In relation to the spin-off, the Company distributed its investment in its former subsidiary to the shareholders of record as of December 15, 2009 through the issuance of 16,555,315 shares of subsidiary common stock. The value of the dividend was determined to be $14,899, which represented the Company’s investment in the former sub.

 

Additionally, as of the date of the spin off, the Company recorded Additional Paid in Capital of $149,532, which, on the date of the spinoff, represented the net liabilities and stockholders’ equity of the subsidiary.


NOTE 4: Income taxes


At December 31, 2011 and 2010 deferred tax assets consist of the following:

$

 


The Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the full amount of the deferred tax asset primarily due to uncertainty in the utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate due to net operating losses.

 

The estimated net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $309,000 begin to expire in 2028 for both federal and state purposes.

 

NOTE 5: Notes payable


At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had notes payable outstanding of $63,500 and 35,500 respectively. The notes are due on demand and bear interest at the rate of 6% per year.


NOTE 6: Related Party Transactions

 

Our executive offices are currently located at 160 East 65th Street New York, NY 10065 which is also the principal place of business of our chief executive officer. The office is provided rent free and should be sufficient to meet our current needs.

 

NOTE 7: Subsequent Events

 

On January 23, 2012 the Company received proceeds from a note payable in the amount of $11,500. The note bears interest at the rate of 6% and is due on demand.

 

In March 2012, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary Beta Auto Group, which was incorporated in the state of Indiana.

 

In March 2012, the Company received proceeds from a note payable from a related party in the amount of $20,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 6% and is due on demand.
