PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

General

PeopleNet International Corporation, is engaged in:

  • the development, production and marketing of "ADVENTURES WITH KANGA RODDY", a television program aimed at pre-school and primary school children;
  • the licensing of merchandising rights related to the Kanga Roddy series;
  • the development, production and marketing of various audio tapes, video tapes and workbooks that specialize in fitness information; and
  • the licensing of rights to other intellectual properties.

PeopleNet, formerly known as American Champion Media, Inc., is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Hayward, California and incorporated on February 5, 1997. PeopleNet was formed by, and has been, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Champion Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation. American Champion, has been a publicly traded company since July 31, 1997 and its common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol ACEI. Concurrently with the effectiveness of this registration statement, American Champion will distribute its entire holdings of PeopleNet to the stockholders of American Champion.

We have developed and produced 29 half-hour episodes of the Kanga Roddy series which features a six-foot tall kangaroo character named Kanga Roddy who is a martial arts expert. Unlike other martial arts programs which feature violence, Kanga Roddy never fights because he understands that conflict can always be resolved through traditional martial arts values such as knowledge, compassion, humility, discipline, respect and an open mind. The show merges these values, with contemporary music, dance, vibrant colors and exciting movements designed to capture the attention of its target audience consisting primarily of pre-school and primary school children.

Each episode of the Kanga Roddy series focuses on a group of children at a community center and their teachers (played by Jennifer Montana and Karen Lott, wives of former San Francisco 49ers football players, Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott), working on activities such as reading, physical fitness and arts and crafts. During these activities, the children encounter an ethical or social problem, which cause uneasiness or unhappiness among some of the children. The teachers sense the problem and suggest that the children seek help from their friend Uncle Pat, the proprietor of a rare bookstore, played by actor Pat Morita, who was previously featured in "The Karate Kid" movies. Uncle Pat, with the assistance of his pet bookworm, Shakespeare, magically transports the children to the land of Hi-Yah where Kanga Roddy lives.

Once in the land of Hi-Yah, Kanga Roddy and his friends Bantu - a female African snake, Tackle Bear - his workout partner, Cimbop and Kimbop - a pair of feline sisters, and Zatochi - a wise old snow monkey, help the children solve their problem by giving examples presented through songs. Kanga Roddy gets inspiration for a proper solution to the problem through flashbacks to lessons learned from his martial arts teacher Zatochi or parallels drawn from encounters with his buddy Tackle Bear. The children and the costumed cast present the answers in song and dance routines. When the children return to the community center, they review what they have learned with their teachers.

In May 1997, we and KTEH, the public broadcasting station serving the San Jose, California area, entered into a distribution agreement which granted KTEH the exclusive right to distribute, advertise, market or otherwise exploit the Kanga Roddy series on public broadcast affiliated stations throughout the United States for a two-year period which ended in May 1999. KTEH cleared the broadcast of the Kanga Roddy series with 40 other public broadcast stations, which broadcast, to approximately 50% of the households in the United States (approximately 40 million households). We delivered 13 half-hour episodes to KTEH for broadcast and received $430,000 for exclusive broadcast rights for the series for the two-year period. Under the agreement, we also committed to sharing with KTEH 8% of revenues from the sale (less fees and commissions) and licensing of non-broadcast ancillary rights of educational products such as video tapes, books and music tapes, and 5% of our gross profits (less fees and commissions) fro m the sale and licensing of toys and clothing.

On April 20, 1998, we entered into a continuing distribution agreement with KTEH for the distribution of 26 more half-hour Kanga Roddy shows and two one-hour specials. Under the continuing distribution agreement, KTEH received the exclusive domestic broadcast rights to the new episodes for two years and agreed to pay us $30,000 for each half-hour program and $60,000 for each of the two one-hour shows. For this continuing distribution agreement, we completed and delivered 14 half-hour episodes to KTEH. The distribution agreements with KTEH ended on April 1, 2001.

In September 1999, we signed a licensing agreement with Brighter Child of Westerville, Ohio, for the licensing of the Kanga Roddy story and all related characters for use in interactive CD-Rom games. In October 1999, we signed a licensing agreement with Prestige Toys of New York, New York, for the licensing of the Kanga Roddy and all related characters for use and manufacturing of plush toy items in all sizes. The agreement with Brighter Child expires on December 31, 2002.

In December 2000, we signed a licensing agreement with World Channel, Inc. of South San Francisco, California, for a five-year worldwide licensing of the Kanga Roddy program and its related products. Pursuant to terms of the agreement, World Channel has the exclusive right to license all products of the Kanga Roddy program and its intellectual property and shall pay PeopleNet $600,000 in licensing fees per year from 2001 through 2005, or a total of $3 million.

We also host a website known as "Hiyah.com" where colorful graphics and streaming audio bring old-time stories and fables to children. We enjoy steadily increasing visits to this site with the average duration per visit of over 10 minutes. We intend to continue to provide this service to our ever increasing loyal user base.

We plan to retain worldwide rights to the characters and images developed in the Kanga Roddy series, to protect our rights to such characters and images through appropriate registration, and to license their use to manufactures for specific products. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so. If the Kanga Roddy series does not attain and maintain widespread television distribution, or widespread popularity, it is unlikely that any significant licensing or merchandising opportunities or revenue will arise or be maintained. In connection with the distribution of our stock by American Champion, we entered into an agreement with American Champion pursuant to which we agreed that all future cashflow related to the Kanga Roddy series and its intellectual property shall be allocated between the two companies on a 50/50 basis until such time that the note payable to American Champion is re-paid.

 

ChiBrow

In June 2001, we signed an agreement with ECapital Group, Inc. to purchase the exclusive licensing and marketing rights to ChiBrow, a safe web browser software for children. Under the terms of the agreement, upon the effectiveness of the spin-off of PeopleNet from American Champion, we will issue 375,000 shares of our common stock, with registration rights, to ECapital in exchange for the worldwide exclusive rights to market and distribute ChiBrow for three years. We intend to file a registration statement on form SB-2 for such shares immediately after the effectiveness of our spin-off transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we shall retain 35% of all revenues generated from such marketing efforts and the balance shall be paid to ECapital. ChiBrow, once installed on personal computers, allows children to browse the World Wide Web by accessing sites from a pre-selected list of approved sites known as the Safe-Sites List. Selection criteria include age-appropriateness, educational value, b alance in social issues, and meaningful content. Through password control, parents can access and modify the Safe-Sites List as well as set a time limit for browsing after which the computer automatically shuts down. ChiBrow also incorporates a search engine called CoolNetwork which allows young web surfers a safe and educational environment on the Internet. It organizes information based on age-appropriateness and functionality, and provides a feature-filled online experience including safe e-mail, public chat rooms and forums, plus a wide variety of children friendly programs such as art gallery, contests, games and community service activities.

Through ChiBrow, children can use the Internet safely to explore and learn, absent of "inappropriate" adult contents such as violence, pornography, hate speeches, and profanity, while giving parents and educators the ability to define where their children can venture. ChiBrow is a browser, not a filtering software. Consequently, ChiBrow circumvents many of the issues filtering technologies have difficulties addressing:

  • alcohol and tobacco marketing;
  • unsafe privacy practices;
  • "inappropriate" adult images and sounds; and
  • sophisticated use of language in which the words themselves are harmless, but the content is not.  

ChiBrow avoids these problems and simplifies security management by giving parents complete control.  Parents define what is appropriate for their children by determining what Web sites they can access.  They can create or build on an existing list of safe Web sites called the Safe-Sites List, restrict access to a Safe-Sites Search Engine containing 10,000+ safe Web sites, and/or open access to sites based on domains realms (.edu, .gov and .org).   Because parents have complete control over the browser, and hence the content that is displayed, they can be certain that sites they allow their children to visit meet their safety standards.

Children browse the Web by selecting a site from ChiBrow's Safe-Sites List, by clicking on links within an approved site, or through the Safe-Sites Search Engine (when allowed).  Sites in either the Safe-Sites List or Search Engine have been screened to meet our safety criteria. Each link a child visit is checked against the list approved sites (Safe-Sites List), Search Engine, and/or domain realms before it is opened.  If the site belongs to the same domain and/or is located within a domain/site in the Safe-Sites List or security options, ChiBrow displays the Web page.  If it isn't, ChiBrow ignores the click and sends an alert at the bottom of the screen.  In order to visit that site, the child must have permission from the parent.  Because parental approval is required for each new site added, parents can rest assured that their child will only visit the sites they determined to be safe.

Today's generation of children embraces the Internet and the personal computer with the same enthusiasm that previous generations embraced television. According to Computer Economics, the number of children using the Internet will grow from 26 million worldwide in 2001, to 77 million by 2005. Although the U.S. remains the dominant Internet market, this is truly a global phenomenon and the growth rate in Asia and Europe is expected by many to surpass that of the U.S.

Copyright of all of the ChiBrow software and computer codes, and registered trademarks remain the property of ECapital Group.

 

Competition

Each of the industries in which we compete is highly competitive and most of the companies with which we compete have greater financial and other resources than us. With respect to our media activities, we compete with major production companies, and competition for access to a limited supply of facilities and talented creative personnel to produce our programs which is often based on relationships and pricing. Our programs compete for time slots, ratings, distribution channels and financing, and related advertising revenues with other programming products. Our competitors include motion picture studios, television networks, and independent television production companies, which have become increasingly active in children's programming. We compete for broadcast commitments and production funding for public television projects with Children's Television Workshop, other independent production companies, and projects produced by local public television stations.

If we attempt to expand into other areas, including commercial television, we will face more intense competition from other, larger entities, such as The Walt Disney Company, Fox, Nickelodeon, Jim Henson Productions, Scholastic Productions, Cinar, Lancit Media Entertainment, and certain television syndicators, production companies, and networks which also seek to attract the children's/family audiences segment with their programming. In addition, there is a strong trend toward vertical integration in the business, with more networks owning productions, making it more difficult for smaller, independent companies such as us to obtain favorable production financing and distribution terms.

Other approaches to safety for children browsing the Internet involve filtering technology that is subject to attack by de-filtering software and interference with other programs on the host computer. Examples of such filtering software currently on the market are NetNanny, SurfMonkey, SurfControl, InternetGuard, CyberSitter and others. However since there is no previous commercial launch of a children's portal using similar approaches to ours, we cannot gauge how users may react to our offer of software and services. We may have difficulty converting the currently free users of ChiBrow into paying subscribers, or securing advertisers and corporate sponsors.

Employees

As of July 20, 2001, we employed two employees on a full-time basis, both of which are management.

 

 

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following section discusses the significant operating changes, business trends, financial condition, earnings and liquidity that have occurred in the one-year period ended December 31, 2000. This discussion should be reads in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ, please see the discussion contained herein. Readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which reflect management's view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequence events or circumstances. Readers are also encouraged to review our publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operation

PeopleNet was formed in February 1997, under the name of American Champion Media, as a wholly owned subsidiary of America's Best Karate, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ACEI. During the year ended December 31, 2000, our total revenue was $ 555,215 as compared to total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 of $531,643. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recognized $154,520 in film income and sponsorship fees as compared to $517,995 for the year ended December 31, 1999. We also received a one-time sporting events promotion revenue of $400,000. 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, we recognized $300,000 in licensing fee revenue from the licensing of products from our television show "Adventures With Kanga Roddy" to World Channel, Inc. Under the terms of the 5-year licensing agreement, World Channel pays us $600,000 per year for the world-wide licensing rights. Under an agreement we have with ACEI, cashflow from the licensing agreement will be equally shared between PeopleNet and ACEI.

Costs and Expenses

We recognized $3,697,224 in expenses as a reserve of film cost. These costs were capitalized production costs for the television show "Adventures With Kanga Roddy", for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to none of such charges for 1999. During the year-ended December 31, 2000 management reviewed the net realizable value of the capitalized film costs. The licensing and sponsorship fees to date have been less than the original estimates of the Company. During the third quarter of 2000 a reserve of $1,000,000 was taken against the related capitalized costs. As of December 31, 2000 the net amount of capitalized film costs was reserved to $3,950,000, which is based on current licensing agreements and planned and probable future distribution of the television show.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, we charged $301,616 to cost of sales offsetting revenues we recognized from film income.

Our expenses for salaries and payroll taxes were $1,021,683 for the year 2000, an increase of $640,319 from $381,364 in 1999. Total selling, general and administrative expenses was $2,402,509 for 2000, an increase of $1,343,872 from $1,058,637 in 1999. The increase is due to certain of such expenses no longer being captured into capitalized film costs as were in the year 1999.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, we adopted aggressive cost-cutting measures and salaries and payroll taxes were reduced to 131,811 while selling, general and administration expenses were contained to $99,215.

As a result of foregoing factors, our net loss was ($6,719,478) for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to ($1,487,878) for the year ended December 31, 1999. Net loss per share increased to ($3.34) in 2000 from ($0.74) in 1999, while weighted average number of shares outstanding remained the same at 2,010,000 shares when adjusted for the 20,100 to 1 forward-split of our common stock in July 2001.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was ($289,052) resulting in a basic loss per share of ($0.14) for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stockholders' equity decreased to a negative ($7,742,212) at the end of 2000, from a negative ($1,022,734) from 1999. Subsequent to year-end 2000, we adopted a plan to spin-off PeopleNet to the shareholders as a tax-free dividend. As part of this plan, some of the inter-company accounts will be offset against each other and the net amount due the parent company is adjusted to $1,500,000 with the balance converted to additional paid-in-capital. The proforma effect of the conversion of inter-company notes to additional paid-in-capital will result in a net stockholders' equity of $2,518,967. Please refer to Note 1 following the financial statements for details. Selected data demonstrating the effect of the spin-off:

                                           December 31, 2000

Total stockholders' equity     ($ 7,742,212)         $ 2,518,967

 

Cashflow from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 was a positive $229,148. Cash used for investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 was ($125,148) and cash from financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 was a decrease of ($104,000).

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, cashflow from operations was a negative ($32,845) and our financing activities brought in $33,000.

We historically financed our operating and capital outlays from funds we receive from our parent company ACEI. We intend to complete a private placement in the amount of $1 million upon the spin-off of PeopleNet for immediate working capital, and employ between 12 to 16 persons including 2 software engineers, 2 technical support persons and the remainder in management and marketing of ChiBrow. As of the end of July 2001, we have not yet identified any potential investors for the intended private placement.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2000 was $298,631 as compared to $708,213 at December 31, 1999. Loans payable to related parties as of December 31, 2000 was $36,000 as compared to $70,000 as of December 31, 1999.

We anticipate the conversion of free users of ChiBrow into paying subscribers and to launch ChiBrow as a fee for service site beginning with the third calendar quarter of 2001. Currently, ChiBrow is offered free of charge and has a world-wide user base. Our business model for the exploitation of ChiBrow is based on:

    • individual subscription between $30 to $60 per family per year;
    • corporate subscription between $60 to $100 per station per year;
    • advertising banners;
    • corporate sponsors; and
    • paid positioning preference on ChiBrow and CoolNetwork's webpages and searches.

We have no current plan to produce additional episodes of the TV series Kanga Roddy.

---------------------------

The compensation for our key management will be evaluated from time to time by the Board. The Board may, in its discretion, award these individuals cash bonuses, options to purchase shares of common stock under our Equity Incentive Plan and such other compensation, including equity-based compensation, as the Board, or a committee thereof, shall approve from time to time.

 

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

An agreement was made between ACEI and PeopleNet on July 10, 2001 where cashflow generated from the licensing agreement between ACM and World Channel, Inc. will be equally shared between ACEI and PeopleNet.

As of July 20, 2001, we had an unsecured loan in the amount of $54,000 from our director and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Chan. Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, the entire amount of this loan will be converted into 27,000 shares of our common stock.

 

 

Item 8. Description of Securities

General

We have an authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value, of which 2,010,000 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. The issued and outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Common Stock

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Such holders are entitled to share pro rata in such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available. On any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of our business, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share pro rata in all distributions made after payment of or provision for the payment of all debts and prior claims. There are no preemptive rights or conversion privileges applicable to the common stock.

Preferred Stock

The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any such preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and, therefore, reduce the value of the common stock. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could discourage, delay or prevent a takeover of us. We do not have any current plans to issue any Preferred Stock.

 

 

PART II

Item 1. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and Other Stockholder Matters

Until the effective date of this registration statement, our common stock has been privately held and has not traded on any securities exchange or quotation system. Upon distribution of our common stock to the stockholders of American Champion, we intend to have the common stock included for quotation in the over-the-counter electronic bulletin board.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition and capital requirements, applicable restrictions under any credit facilities or other contractual arrangements and such other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Item 2. Legal Proceedings

There are currently no lawsuits or legal proceedings by or against us.

Item 3. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants

Not applicable.

Item 4. Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities

None.

Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as a director. Our Bylaws provided that we shall indemnify our officers and directors and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of that fact that he or she was a director, officer employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001

Note 1. Nature of Operations, Going Concern, Significant Transactions and Subsequent Events

Nature of Operations - PeopleNet International Corporation (the "Company") focuses on operating and managing media-related programs. These programs consist of production of educational television programs for children, which emphasize martial arts values and fun. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of America's Best Karate ("ABK"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Champion Entertainment, Inc. ("ACEI").

Going Concern. Management's plans and the ongoing operations of the Company are expected to require additional working capital during 2001. In addition, the Company has experienced losses from continuing operations since inception. These factors cause substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company has historically financed operating and capital cash requirements from funds received from the parent company ACEI. While the Company does not have an agreement or commitment in place, management plans to raise additional capital through a private placement subsequent to the spin-off, which is described below, in the amount of approximately $1,000,000. Management also expects to generate additional cash flow from the operations of the Company.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the success of obtaining additional capital and, thereafter, on attaining profitability. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in the implementation of its plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Significant Transactions and Subsequent Events. On July 24, 2001 the Company changed its name from American Champion Media, Inc. to PeopleNet International Corporation. The name change was made to more accurately reflect changes in the Company's core business.

On July 23, 2001 the Company declared a 20,100 for 1 stock split. The accompanying financial statements reflect the effect of this split. The Company also increased the authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000 and provided for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock can be issued at the by the Board of Directors and may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions. All share and per share data in the accompanying notes have been adjusted to reflect the effect of this split.

In July 2001 the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan. The plan provides for the issuances of up to 1,500,000 options to purchase common stock of the company. No options have been issued under the plan.

In July 2001 the Company adopted the Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan. The plan provides for the issuances of up to 500,000 options to purchase common stock of the company. No options have been issued under the plan.

In July 2001 the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan provides for the issuances of up to 500,000 shares of common stock of the company. No shares have been issued under the plan.

In June 2001, the Company signed an agreement with ECapital Group, Inc. ("ECapital") to purchase the exclusive licensing and marketing rights to ChiBrow, a safe web browser software for children. Under the terms of the agreement, upon the effectiveness of the spin-off of the Company from ACEI, the Company will issue 375,000 shares of common stock, with registration rights, to ECapital in exchange for the worldwide exclusive rights to market and distribute ChiBrow for three years. The Company intends to file a registration statement for such shares immediately after the effectiveness of the spin-off transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company shall retain 35% of all revenues generated from such marketing efforts and the balance shall be paid to ECapital.

On June 22, 2001 ACEI approved a plan to spin-off the Company to the shareholders as a tax-free distribution. Under the plan, each stockholder of ACEI will receive one share of ACM stock for approximately every 17 shares of ACEI stock held as of the effective date of the spin-off. Subsequent to and as part of the spin-off, ECapital, an unrelated entity, will contribute intangible property consisting primarily of Internet sites, content and a web browser, described above, in exchange for approximately 18% of the Company. The related party note payable will also be converted to common stock amounting to approximately 1% of the Company. The Company expects to operate in the business of providing Internet content subsequent to the spin-off.

As part of this plan, the advances to ABK will be offset against the amounts due to ACEI and the net amount due adjusted down to $1,500,000 with the balance converted to additional paid-in-capital. This $1,500,000 will be converted to a note payable and will be due in annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at 8 percent. The television program, "The Adventures With Kanga Roddy", and all licensing and distribution rights associated with the program will also secure the note.

The proforma effect of the conversion of inter-company notes to additional paid-in-capital as if the conversion took place as of December 31, 2000 is as follows:

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition - Revenue from films is recognized on delivery of each master. Film costs are amortized using the individual-film-forecast-computation method, which amortizes costs in the ratio that current gross revenues bear to anticipated total gross revenues from all sources. The management of the Company periodically reviews its estimates of future revenues for each master and if necessary a revision is made to amortization rates and a write down to net realizable value may occur. During the year ended December 31, 2000, management determined that based on the current licensing agreements in place with respect to films released, a reserve of $3,697,224 should be established.

Concentrations of Risk - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The amount on deposit in any one institution that exceeds federally insured limits is subject to credit risk.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers certain highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years.

Film Costs - Film costs consist of the capitalized costs related to the production of original film masters for videos and television programs. Film costs are amortized using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. The net film costs are presented on the balance sheet at the net realizable value for each master. During 2000 the Company established a reserve against the capitalized film costs to reduce the carrying amount to the estimated net realizable value.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments - The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of long-term obligations approximate fair value since the interest rates either fluctuate with the lending banks' prime rates or approximate market rate. None of the financial instruments are held for trading purposes.

Basic Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average outstanding shares issued. Because the Company has a net loss, the common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Accordingly, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. Generally accepted accounting principles require a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Presentation - Management believes utilizing a classified balance sheet presentation is not appropriate, as the operating cycle of the Company is expected to exceed 12 months. Accordingly, an unclassified presentation is utilized for the accompanying balance sheet, which is an acceptable method under SFAS No. 53, "Financial Reporting by Producers and Distributors of Motion Picture Films."

Use of Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in these financial statements include the recovery of film costs, which has a direct relationship to the net realizable value of the related asset. It is at least reasonably possible that management's estimate of revenue from films could change in the near term, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001

Note 3. Basis of Reporting

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for completed financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company on June 30, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2000 included elsewhere in this Form 10-SB.

 

 

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001

Note 4. Uses of Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in confirmity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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. Actual results could difer from those estimates. Significant estimates used in these financial statements include the recovery of film costs which has a direct relationship to the net realizable value of the related asset. It is at least reasonably possible that management's estimate of revenue from films could change in the near term which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors

PeopleNet International Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PeopleNet International Corporation, (the "Company") a wholly owned subsidiary of American Champion Entertainment, Inc., as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards accepted in the United States of America. 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.

In our opinion, based on our audits, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, 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 had limited cash reserves at December 31, 2000 and based on management's current cash flow estimates, will not have sufficient cash to meet obligations over the next twelve months without additional sources of capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in this regard is discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

 

Note 1. Nature of Operations, Going Concern and Subsequent Events

Nature of Operations - PeopleNet International Corporation (the "Company") focuses on operating and managing media-related programs. These programs consist of production of educational television programs for children, which emphasize martial arts values and fun. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of America's Best Karate ("ABK"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Champion Entertainment, Inc. ("ACEI").

Going Concern. Management's plans and the ongoing operations of the Company are expected to require additional working capital during 2001. In addition, the Company has experienced losses from continuing operations since inception. These factors cause substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company has historically financed operating and capital cash requirements from funds received from the parent company ACEI. While the Company does not have an agreement or commitment in place, management plans to raise additional capital through a private placement subsequent to the spin-off, which is described below, in the amount of approximately $1,000,000. Management also expects to generate additional cash flow from the operations of the Company.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the success of obtaining additional capital and, thereafter, on attaining profitability. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in the implementation of its plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent Events. On July 24, 2001 the Company changed its name from American Champion Media, Inc. to PeopleNet International Corporation. The name change was made to more accurately reflect changes in the Company's core business.

On July 23, 2001 the Company declared a 20,100 for 1 stock split. The accompanying financial statements reflect the effect of this split. The Company also increased the authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000 and provided for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock can be issued at the by the Board of Directors and may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions. All share and per share data in the accompanying notes have been adjusted to reflect the effect of this split.

In July 2001 the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan. The plan provides for the issuances of up to 1,500,000 options to purchase common stock of the company. No options have been issued under the plan.

In July 2001 the Company adopted the Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan. The plan provides for the issuances of up to 500,000 options to purchase common stock of the company. No options have been issued under the plan.

In July 2001 the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan provides for the issuances of up to 500,000 shares of common stock of the company. No shares have been issued under the plan.

In June 2001, the Company signed an agreement with ECapital Group, Inc. ("ECapital") to purchase the exclusive licensing and marketing rights to ChiBrow, a safe web browser software for children. Under the terms of the agreement, upon the effectiveness of the spin-off of the Company from ACEI, the Company will issue 375,000 shares of common stock, with registration rights, to ECapital in exchange for the worldwide exclusive rights to market and distribute ChiBrow for three years. The Company intends to file a registration statement for such shares immediately after the effectiveness of the spin-off transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company shall retain 35% of all revenues generated from such marketing efforts and the balance shall be paid to ECapital.

On June 22, 2001 ACEI approved a plan to spin-off the Company to the shareholders as a tax-free distribution. Under the plan, each stockholder of ACEI will receive one share of ACM stock for approximately every 17 shares of ACEI stock held as of the effective date of the spin-off. Subsequent to and as part of the spin-off, ECapital, an unrelated entity, will contribute intangible property consisting primarily of Internet sites, content and a web browser, described above, in exchange for approximately 18% of the Company. The related party note payable will also be converted to common stock amounting to approximately 1% of the Company. The Company expects to operate in the business of providing Internet content subsequent to the spin-off.

As part of this plan, the advances to ABK will be offset against the amounts due to ACEI and the net amount due adjusted down to $1,500,000 with the balance converted to additional paid-in-capital. This $1,500,000 will be converted to a note payable and will be due in annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at 8 percent. The television program, "The Adventures With Kanga Roddy", and all licensing and distribution rights associated with the program will also secure the note.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition - Revenue from films is recognized on delivery of each master. Film costs are amortized using the individual-film-forecast-computation method, which amortizes costs in the ratio that current gross revenues bear to anticipated total gross revenues from all sources. The management of the Company periodically reviews its estimates of future revenues for each master and if necessary a revision is made to amortization rates and a write down to net realizable value may occur. During the year ended December 31, 2000, management determined that based on the current licensing agreements in place with respect to films released, a reserve of $3,697,224 should be established.

Concentrations of Risk - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The amount on deposit in any one institution that exceeds federally insured limits is subject to credit risk.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers certain highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years.

Film Costs - Film costs consist of the capitalized costs related to the production of original film masters for videos and television programs. Film costs are amortized using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. The net film costs are presented on the balance sheet at the net realizable value for each master. During 2000 the Company established a reserve against the capitalized film costs to reduce the carrying amount to the estimated net realizable value.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments - The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of long-term obligations approximate fair value since the interest rates either fluctuate with the lending banks' prime rates or approximate market rate. None of the financial instruments are held for trading purposes.

Basic Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average outstanding shares issued. Because the Company has a net loss, the common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Accordingly, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. Generally accepted accounting principles require a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Presentation - Management believes utilizing a classified balance sheet presentation is not appropriate, as the operating cycle of the Company is expected to exceed 12 months. Accordingly, an unclassified presentation is utilized for the accompanying balance sheet, which is an acceptable method under SFAS No. 53, "Financial Reporting by Producers and Distributors of Motion Picture Films."

Use of Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in these financial statements include the recovery of film costs, which has a direct relationship to the net realizable value of the related asset. It is at least reasonably possible that management's estimate of revenue from films could change in the near term, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company files a consolidated income tax return with ACEI. The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $4,000,000, the benefits of which expire in 2012 through 2020 for federal purposes and through 2005 for state purposes. Because of changes in ownership of the Company and ACEI, the utilization of NOL's in any one-year will be limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Management believes that some of the excess NOL carry forwards over temporary differences and the benefits from the amortization of the film costs may be utilized in future periods. However, due to the uncertainty of future taxable income and limitations related to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, a valuation allowance for the net amount of the deferred tax assets and liabilities has been recorded at December 31, 2000 and 1999.

DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

In September 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the director of The Adventures With Kanga Roddy television program, whereby the director would receive 2% in the distribution of net profits from the TV broadcasting, syndication, and video sales of the first 13 episodes of that program.

During 1997 the Company has entered into a distribution agreement with KTEH, the public broadcasting system ("PBS") station serving the San Jose, California area, for the exclusive right to distribute the "The Adventures with Kanga Roddy" series throughout the United States. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company will receive $430,000, which is based on delivery of 13 episodes to KTEH. This amount was recognized in revenue in prior years. During 1998 KTEH agreed to purchase an additional 26 episodes and 2 one-hour specials for approximately $900,000. The Company recognized revenue of $-0- and $433,000 during 2000 and 1999 under this agreement as no episodes have been delivered subsequent to 1999. The agreement expires in April 2001 and will not be renewed.

During 1998, the Company entered into a non-exclusive toy licensing agreement with Timeless Toys with respect to the "The Adventures with Kanga Roddy" television program. Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to an 8% royalty. The agreement expires in January 2001.

In September 1999, the Company signed a licensing agreement with Brighter Child of Westerville, Ohio, for the licensing of the Kanga Roddy story and all related characters for use in interactive CD-Rom games. In October 1999, the Company signed a licensing agreement with Prestige Toys of New York, New York, for the licensing of the Kanga Roddy character and all related characters for use and manufacturing of plush toy items in all sizes. The agreement with Brighter Child expires on December 31, 2002.

On December 27, 2000, the Company entered into a worldwide distribution agreement with respect to "The Adventures with Kanga Roddy" television program with World Channel, Inc.. Under the agreement, World Channel will have the exclusive rights for exhibition, distribution, process and reproduction and all commercial exploitation of the program for a period of five years. The agreement requires World Channel to make five annual installments of $600,000 on or before the end of each of the years 2001 through 2005. As of December 31, 2000 the Company has recorded no amounts related to this agreement.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions

Certain financing transactions of the Company and management oversight duties have been provided by ACEI. Although ACM employees have provided management of the operations of the Company, the ability of the Company to obtain financing has been dependent upon its relationship with ACEI. Had the relationship between the Company and ACEI not been in place, the results of operations and financial position of the Company may have been different.

The Company has received advances from ACEI to fund its operations. It has been the policy of ACEI and the consolidated group to not charge interest on inter-company advances. Interest has been imputed on $1,500,000 of the balance at a rate of 8%. This interest has been accrued as ACEI intends to charge interest on this amount in future periods. At December 31, 2000 and 1999 accrued interest payable on these advances amounted to $420,000 and $300,000, respectively, and is included in the outstanding balance of the note. Subsequent to year-end the net principal balance of the note was reduced to $1,500,000, by converting the balance of the note to additional paid-in-capital (see Note 1).

The Company has also made advances to ABK. These advances are also non-interest bearing. Interest income has not been accrued on these advances as it is not expected that this interest will ever be charge or collected. Subsequent to year-end the amounts due under this advance where offset against the amounts due to ACEI (see note 1).

During 2000 and 1999, the Company paid $5,000 and $2,500, respectively, to two stockholders for story lines and scripts for the production of the television series "The Adventures with Kanga Roddy."

Management does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
