PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The Company

 

We are a Florida corporation doing business as Independent Music Network, which was formed for the purpose of operating as a diversified entertainment company. We are currently webcasting our program which consists of music videos of unsigned artists/bands from around the world through our website www.IMNTV.com. We intend to continually improve the content and quality of our programming and to focus primarily on reaching agreements with wireless companies globally to provide content for mobile broadcast on a subscription basis. (See “Business of the Company.”)

 

This prospectus includes shares of common stock that may be offered by certain selling shareholders. Our common stock is not currently trading, however, we intend to have our shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board upon completion of this registration.

 

We will not receive any funds from the distribution of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus since only shares of common stock held by existing shareholders are being registered hereby. The shares may be offered in transactions on the OTC Bulletin Board once we have completed the listing process. The shares may be offered in negotiated transaction, or through a combination of such methods of distribution at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. No commissions or discounts are being paid or allowed in conjunction with this distribution.

 

To date, we have received no revenue from operations and ($1,525,382) represents our net losses since inception.

RISK FACTORS

 

Our business involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are material risks facing our contemplated operations. All material risks will be discussed in this section.

 

If any of the following risks occur, our business financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed and in such case you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

You could lose all of your investment if we do not remain a going concern.

 

We rely on our senior management and will be harmed if any or all of them leave

 

Our success is dependent on the efforts, experience and relationship of Corinne Fallacaro and Christopher Mauritz. If any of these individuals are unable to continue in their role, our business would be adversely effected as to its business prospects and earnings potential. We do not currently carry any insurance to compensate for any such loss.

 

There are many competitors in our market and we may not be able to effectively compete against them

 

The business of marketing music video products is highly competitive. This market segment includes numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers, and retailers that actively compete for the business of consumers both in the United States and abroad. In addition, the market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products that may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. As a result, our ability to remain competitive depends in part upon its successful introduction and consumer acceptance of new products.

 

We are a development stage company which means our operations may not be successful

 

We were incorporated in July 2004 and although we have certain assets, we have not executed our business model and are considered to be in the development stage. Our ability to maintain and achieve profitability is dependent on the execution of our business plan to generate cash flow to fund future growth. There can be no assurance that our results of operations or marketing strategy will prove successful.

 

We have no public trading market for our securities

 

Although we intend to complete a public registration of our securities, there is currently no public market for our securities. We are not subject to the periodic filing and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, prospective investors are cautioned that there is no available public information about our financial status and operations. We intend to distribute financial statements to our shareholders on an annual basis, but cannot provide assurances that such financial statements will be available, or, if available, will be audited.

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

If we are unable to obtain additional capital in the near future, we may have to curtail or cease operations

 

We expect that we will need to raise funds in the immediate future in order to meet our working capital requirements. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may have to curtail or cease operations, which would materially harm our business and financial results. To the extent we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Furthermore, any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities.

 

We have no operating history that makes an evaluation of our business difficult

 

Our lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects or to accurately predict our future revenues or results of operations. Our business model, and accordingly our revenue and income potential, is new and unproven. In addition, we are subject to risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets.

 

We have a new and unproven business model and may not generate sufficient revenues for our business to survive or be successful

 

Our business model is based on the commercial viability of a web site devoted to the broadcast of music videos of amateur and professional artists. In order for our business to be successful, we must not only develop services that directly generate revenues, but also provide content and services that attract wireless and cable providers who will contract with us to air our website. Our business model assumes that wireless operators and cable providers in many markets will air our programming and that we anticipate we will be able to generate significant revenues through subscription per subscriber payments where wireless operators will pay us a monthly subscription payment for access to our program content. Each of these assumptions is unproven, and if any of the assumptions is incorrect, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business or to obtain profitability. At the present time, we have no contracts, arrangements or agreements with either wireless or cable providers.

 

We have no operating history and expect to incur losses in the future

 

We have no operating history and have generated no revenues. We have not achieved profitably and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We expect those losses to increase as we continue to incur expenses to develop our products and services. We believe that our business depends on our ability to significantly increase revenues and to limit our operating expenses. If our revenues fail to grow at anticipated rates or our operating expenses increase without a commensurate increase in our revenues, or we fail to adjust operating expense levels appropriately, we may never be able to achieve profitability.

 

Our future operating results are likely to be volatile and may cause our equity value to fluctuate

 

Our future revenues and operating results, if any, are likely to vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Factors which may cause our revenues and operating results to fluctuate include the following:

 

  the willingness of wireless companies to broadcast our programming;

 

  market acceptance of our music video programming on our web site;

 

  the timing and uncertainty of sales cycles;

 

3


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
  new services offered by current or future competitors; and

 

  general economic conditions, as well as economic conditions specific to the music industry.

 

We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties associated with the entertainment industry, all of which may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations

 

Our future operating results will depend upon numerous factors beyond our control, including the popularity, price and timing of programming and special events being released and distributed, national, regional, and local economic conditions, changes in demographics, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment, critical reviews and public tastes and preferences, which change rapidly and cannot be predicted. If we are unable to successfully anticipate and respond to relatively rapid changes in consumers’ tastes and preferences, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

 

Funds are not and may not be available to pay demand note

 

We have issued a promissory note to our President, Corinne Fallacaro, in the amount of $1.5 million. The note pays interest at 6% per annum and is payable upon demand. Further, the note is secured by all of our assets. In the event demand is made for payment of the note, there can be no assurance that we will have the funds to pay the note and accrued interest. Failure to pay the note on demand may cause us to forfeit all of our assets. At the present, if the demand were made, we could not satisfy the note.

 

There may be claims made against our assets which we acquired by virtue of a default

 

Our assets, which we purchased from Corinne Fallacaro, were formerly owned by Falcon Entertainment Corp. (“Falcon”). These assets were pledged by Falcon as security pursuant to a Security Agreement for the payment of a $700,000 promissory note that was payable to James and Corinne Fallacaro and which was subsequently assigned to Corinne Fallacaro. The assets were acquired by our President, Corinne Fallacaro, in January 2001 after Falcon defaulted on a $700,000 promissory note dated October 3, 2000, by virtue of the provisions contained in the Security Agreement and pursuant to the various provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of Connecticut. Because there was no judicial determination as to the validity of the transfer of title of the assets to Corinne Fallacaro, there can be no assurance that shareholders of Falcon will not assert any claims which challenge the validity of the transfer of assets. In the event such a challenge was successful, our operations would be severely impaired.

 

We may be unable to attract and retain independent contractors, which would adversely affect our ability to develop and effectively operate our business

 

Our future performance will depend largely on the efforts and abilities of our present management and our ability to hire independent contractors. Our success will depend on our ability to attract independent contractors in the future. The market for such persons is extremely competitive and we may not find qualified independent contractors. The loss of, or the inability to attract independent contractors may harm our ability to develop and effectively manage our business.

 

Current or future government regulation may add to our operating costs.

 

We may face unanticipated operating costs because of the current uncertainty surrounding potential government regulation of the Internet, e-commerce, wireless and cable use. We believe that we are not currently subject to direct regulation of our current and expected activities, other than regulations generally applicable to businesses. However, the Internet has rapidly emerged as a commerce medium, and governmental agencies have not yet been able to adapt all existing regulations to the Internet environment. Laws and regulations may be introduced and court decisions reached that affect the Internet or other online services, covering issues such as user pricing, user privacy, freedom of expression, access

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

charges, content and quality of products and services, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Complying with new regulations would increase our operating costs. Furthermore, we may be subject to the laws of various jurisdictions where we actually conduct business. Our failure to qualify to do business in a jurisdiction that requires us to do so could subject us to fines or penalties and could have a material adverse impact on our business and operations.

 

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights, which could result in their unauthorized use by our competitors and have an adverse impact on our revenues

 

Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that the measures taken by us to protect our proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation or independent development by others of programming and media concepts based upon, or otherwise similar to, those of our network. In addition, although we believe that our programming and concepts have been independently developed and do not infringe on the proprietary rights or trade secrets of others, there can be no assurance that our methods and concepts do not and will not so infringe or that third parties will not assert infringement claims, trade secret violations, competitive torts or other proprietary rights violations against us in the future. In the case of infringement, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to modify our programming or obtain a license. There can be no assurance that we would be able to do either in a timely manner or upon acceptable terms and conditions, and such failure could have a material adverse effect on our operations, cash flows and financial condition. There can also be no assurance that we will have the resources to defend or prosecute proprietary rights or infringement actions.

 

If we fail to attract new artists for our music web site, we may not be able to attract wireless operators and cable providers

 

Our success depends upon our ability to attract wireless operators and cable providers to enter into arrangements with us to broadcast or disseminate the content currently on our website to the consumers and viewers. If we do not continually augment and improve our music and video content with new amateur and professional artists, we will not be able to attract or maintain wireless operators and cable providers. Since our revenue is anticipated to be derived from subscription fees paid by wireless customers and advertising obtained in cable broadcasts, unless we can attract and maintain these relationships we will not be successful.

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

If we do not attract loyal support from our targeted viewing audience, our business will be adversely affected

 

Our business plan is predicated on our company attracting active and loyal support from the community of music fans that have an interest in independent music. There can be no assurance that there will be significant support from our anticipated viewership segment or that sufficient public acceptance of our programming will enable us to operate profitably.

 

Delivery of our content via the internet may be interrupted due to systems failures, natural disasters or other causes

 

We are subject to the risk that delivery of our services via the Internet may be interrupted as a result of satellite failure, communications and/or network equipment damage caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes and fires, hardware failures, increased stress on communications and/or network hardware, local power losses or other telecommunications failures and/or capacity constraints on us or our vendors’ or suppliers’ hardware. Any such interruptions may cause us to lose viewers and, accordingly, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Our inability to attract wireless operators and cable providers will impair our business and our ability to earn a profit

 

Our business model depends on our ability to establish and maintain business relationships with wireless operators and cable providers. The business relationships with wireless providers would allow our company to provide program content to these operators for the purpose of selling subscriptions to their consumer base and providing revenue to our company based upon the number of subscribers obtained. The business relationships with cable providers, if established, would allow our video and music content as contained on our website to be broadcast through various networks with revenue to be recognized through advertising. Failure to attract and enter into these relationships will result in our company not achieving revenues resulting from the implementation of our business model.

 

The holdings of our controlling stockholder may limit your ability to influence the outcome of director elections and other matters subject to a stockholder vote, including a sale of our company on terms that may be attractive to you

 

Corinne Fallacaro, our president and chairman of our board of directors, currently owns approximately 79% of our outstanding common stock. Ms. Fallacaro’s stock ownership and management positions enable her to exert considerable influence over us, including the election of directors and the approval of other actions submitted to our stockholders. In addition, without the consent of Ms. Fallacaro, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be viewed as beneficial to other stockholders, including a sale of our company. This could prevent you from selling your stock to a potential acquiror.

 

If the selling shareholders all elect to sell their shares of our common stock at the same time, the market price of our shares may decrease

 

It is possible that the selling shareholders will offer all of the shares for sale. Further, because it is possible that a significant number of shares could be sold at the same time, the sales, or the possibility thereof, may have a depressive effect on the future market price of our common stock.

These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our industry, plans, objectives, expectations and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve risks and uncertainties. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those implied or expressed by these statements.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

 

Background

 

Global Music International, Inc., a Florida corporation doing business as Independent Music Network, was formed on July 1, 2004 for the purpose of operating as a diversified entertainment company which is presently webcasting programming which consists of music videos of unsigned artists and bands from around the world over our web site at IMNTV.com 24/7. We intend to accomplish the following:

 

  Continually improve the content and quality of our programming.

 

  Enable the Company to receive video content from the users at no cost to the Company.

 

  Expand the size and number of markets in which our programming content would be available.

 

  Enter into sponsorship agreements and marketing partnerships.

 

  Enter into agreements with wireless telecommunications companies on a subscription basis.

 

Industry Background

 

We believe that the market for music videos and music programming has grown significantly since the introduction of MTV in 1981. Music enthusiasts are now able to view musical genres ranging from country to rock to rap to salsa on cable television.

 

Our research indicates that the amateur music industry has experienced a significant growth phase. According to a Gallup Organization of Princeton, N.J. survey conducted in 2003, which was commissioned by the International Music Products Association (“NAMM”) and published in Music USA 2004 International Edition, more than one-half of households (54%) have at least one person who plays a musical instrument which represents the highest figure since this study began in 1978. Also, in 48% of all U.S. households, two or more persons play a musical instrument which is up from 40% in 2000. It is interesting to note that according to this survey the highest percentage of musical instruments are owned by households with college graduates and incomes over $45,000 per year. Additionally, as noted in the survey, over 50% of households in 2003 owned at least one musical instrument compared to 43% in 1997.

 

Our business model is designed to give music enthusiasts the opportunity to find music that they would otherwise never see or hear. It also gives amateur artists the opportunity to make their work available to the rest of the world. No one will make the decision whether your material is good enough for the general public; the general public will make that decision for themselves.

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Plan of Operation

 

Our plan of operation for the next 12 months will be the continued design and development of our web site for the purpose of airing music videos submitted by independent artists and bands from around the world at no cost to the Company for the content. After the videos are screened for acceptable broadcast content, and they are professionally packaged and edited, they are webcast on IMNTV.com 24/7.

 

Through the IMNTV.com web site, artists are able to obtain information as to the IMNTV video submission process. Each artist or band that submits an acceptable video is listed on the IMNTV.com web site through which simultaneous streaming music videos of various performances by other artists may be heard and other related information may be displayed.

 

Our programming content is webcast giving consumers access to a wide range of independent music video programming.

 

We intend to enter into discussions with several telecom companies for the purpose of entering into agreements to utilize our programming on a subscription basis. We have entered into some preliminary discussions with several telecommunications companies, however, no agreements have been reached. If we finalize these potential agreements, we intend to expand into U.S. and global cable markets. There can be no assurance that any agreement will be reached.

 

Historical Information About Our Product

 

Although our Company is a newly formed start-up company, we have purchased various assets which we believe will assist us in meeting our business objectives. The assets include the IMNTV.com web site, Trademarks which include IMNTV and GET HUGE, several hundred hours of program content including the master tapes of submitted music videos, servers, computers and editing programs, graphics packages formatted to integrate with the music videos and 12 video commercials embedded in our video programming.

 

Employees

 

We presently have two full time employees who are also officers and shareholders. Staffing levels will be determined as we progress and grow. Our board of directors will determine the compensation of all new employees based upon job description.

 

Property

 

The Company’s executive offices are located at 20 Old Stagecoach Road, Redding, CT 06896. We will seek to acquire additional office space based upon the needs of the business, when and if necessary.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock since inception. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the expansion of the business, however, we do not intend to pay shareholder dividends. The declaration and payment of cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements, and financial condition.

Although we are a newly formed company, we have purchased assets to assist us in meeting our business objectives. The assets include the IMNTV.com website, trademarks, hundreds of hours of program content including master tapes of submitted music videos, servers, computers, editing programs, graphics packages which have already been formatted to integrate with music videos and 12 video commercials embedded in our video programming. IMNTV embraces all genres of music and promotes artistic expression based on its philosophy of letting the public decide whether or not to accept it. These assets as disclosed in our financial disclosure have been written off and, for accounting purposes, have a value of $0.

 

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months will be the continued design and development of our website to further implement our business model by giving consumers a wide range of independent music video programming. In addition, we intend to enter into discussions with several telecommunications companies for the purpose of entering into agreements to utilize our programming on a subscription basis. We intend to leverage any such agreement to enter the U.S. and global cable markets. As of the date hereof, we have reached no such agreements. The purpose of the website also is to generate new content from the users to enable the Company to increase its programming at no cost to the Company for the content.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Period from July 1, 2004 (Inception) through October 31, 2004

 

Since the Company was formed on July 1, 2004, it has not earned any revenues and has incurred a net loss since its inception of $1,525,382. Operations from the Company’s inception through October 31, 2004 were devoted primarily to strategic planning, raising capital and developing revenue-generating opportunities. The Company purchased various assets necessary to webcast it’s programming from the Company’s founder, who is its President/CEO and a director, in exchange for a $1,500,000 promissory note. The Company reviewed the future recoverability of this acquired equipment for impairment and since the Company has not executed contractual arrangements that provide reliable and objective evidence supporting future cash flows to recover the cost of these assets, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,500,000 in the accompanying statement of operations for the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are currently financing our operations from the proceeds from the sale of common stock offered pursuant to our private placement which was closed on October 31, 2004. We raised a total of $276,750.

 

New accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement addresses the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be accounted for as equity. SFAS 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the statement of financial position. In addition, SFAS 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of settling the instruments and the capital structure of certain entities. Most of the guidance in SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement has had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No.51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” addresses consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable interest entities where there is a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity or where the variable interest entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003 and applies in the first year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2004 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before December 31, 2003. We do not have any ownership in any variable interest entities as of October 31, 2004. We will apply the consolidation requirement of FIN 46 in future periods if we should own any interest in any variable interest entity.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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 that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to the impairment of long-lived assets, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to our financial statements. The following represents a critical accounting policy that required us to exercise our business judgment or make a significant estimate:

 

Capital Assets/Impairment

 

The Company purchased various assets necessary to webcast it’s programming from the Company’s founder, who is its President/CEO and a director, in exchange for a promissory note. The Company reviewed the future recoverability of these acquired assets for impairment and since the Company has not executed contractual arrangements that provide reliable and objective evidence supporting future cash flows to recover the cost of these assets, the Company recorded an impairment loss for the total purchase price for the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Since our incorporation on July 1, 2004, we have authorized the issuance of 21,457,000 shares of our common stock. We have also issued a promissory note in the amount of $1.5 million to our President, Corinne Fallacaro. The note pays interest at 6% per annum and is payable upon demand and is secured by all of our assets. The promissory note was issued as consideration for the transfer of assets represented by a Bill of Sale to the Company but we are not representing in any way that it is indicative of the value of the assets.

 

Our assets, which we purchased from Corinne Fallacaro, were formerly owned by Falcon Entertainment Corp. Based upon default of a promissory note originally executed in the amount of $700,000 from Falcon to James and Corinne Fallacaro and assigned solely to Corinne Fallacaro, the assets were acquired pursuant to a Security Agreement. Corinne Fallacaro had previously taken possession of the assets in January 2001.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize us to issue 40,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of this date, 21,457,000 shares of common stock were authorized to be issued.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders and have no cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All shares of common stock authorized for issuance are fully paid and non-assessable, and the shares of common stock offered hereby will also be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

 

All of the shares that may be sold pursuant to this prospectus will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares issued to our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 described below. In general, our affiliates are any persons that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with us.

 

Of the 21,457,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance as of the date of this prospectus, approximately 19,250,000 are held by our affiliates and will be restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144. These shares may only be sold in compliance with the volume limitations as set forth in Rule 144.

Index to Financial Statements

Rule 144

 

In general, under Securities Act Rule 144, a shareholder who owns restricted shares that have been outstanding for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of these restricted shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, or the average weekly reported trading volume in the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

In addition, affiliates must comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144, other than the one-year holding period requirement, to sell shares of common stock that are not restricted securities. Sales under Rule 144 are also governed by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements, and current public information about us must be available. Under Rule 144(k), a shareholder who is not currently and who has not been for at least three months before the sale an affiliate and who owns restricted shares that have been outstanding for at least two years may resell these restricted shares without compliance with the above requirements.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business condition and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our right to declare a dividend is not limited by any restrictive covenant, contract or agreement.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, Inc., 7130 Nob Hill Road, Tamarac, Florida 33321.

 

Penny Stock Rules

 

The SEC has adopted a rule that defines a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

  that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

 

  the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

To approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

  obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and

 

  make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

  sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

 

16


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
  that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offering and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Our officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in the management of our affairs. Our bylaws, however, provide, that the directors will have no liability to the shareholders for from any transaction in their respective managerial capacities so long as they act in good faith in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the corporation and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances unless they violated this duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend or stock repurchase, or derived an improper benefit from the transaction. As a result, a shareholder may have more limited right to action than he would have had if such provision were not present. The bylaws also provide for us to indemnify the officers, directors, employees and agents against any losses or liabilities they may incur as a result of the manner in which they operate our business or conduct the internal affairs, provided that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The Commission also maintains a site at http://www.sec.gov that contains information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The shares covered by this prospectus may be distributed from time to time by the selling shareholders including in one or more transactions that may take place on the over-the-counter market from time to time. These include ordinary broker’s transactions, privately-negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more broker-dealers for resale of these shares as principals, at market prices existing at the time of sale, at prices related to existing market prices, through Rule 144 transactions or at negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the selling shareholders in connection with sales of securities.

 

The selling shareholders may sell the securities in one or more of the following methods:

 

  on the OTC Bulletin Board in the over-the-counter market or on such exchanges on which our shares may be listed from time-to-time, in transactions which may include special offerings, exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions, pursuant to and in accordance with the rules of such exchanges, including sales to underwriters who acquire the shares for their own account and resell them in one or more transactions or through brokers, acting as principal or agent;

 

17


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
  in transactions other than on such exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or a combination of such transactions, including sales through brokers, acting as principal or agent, sales in privately negotiated transactions, or dispositions for value by any selling security holder to its partners or members, subject to rules relating to sales by affiliates; or

 

  through the issuance of securities by issuers other than us, convertible into, exchangeable for, or payable in our shares.

 

In making sales, brokers or dealers used by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. The selling shareholders and others through whom such securities are sold may be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act for the securities offered, and any profits realized or commission received may be considered underwriting compensation.

 

At the time a particular offer of the securities is made by or on behalf of a selling shareholder, to the extent required, a prospectus is to delivered. The prospectus will include the number of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for the shares of common stock purchased from the selling shareholder, and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling price to the public.

 

The selling shareholders also may transfer shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. If required, we will supplement the prospectus to indicate the new selling shareholder.

 

The selling shareholders must comply with the anti-manipulative rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Regulation M. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes any selling shareholders, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchase made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with an at the market offering such as this offering. We have also told the selling security holders of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus in connection with any sale of securities that are registered by this prospectus. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our common stock.

 

Disclosure of Commission Position On Indemnification For Securities Act Liabilities

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Global Music International, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Global Music International, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004. 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 audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 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 audit provides 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 Global Music International, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004 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 shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,303,201, has not earned any revenues, and has incurred a net loss since its inception totaling $1,525,382. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1 - -     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Global Music International, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”), doing business as Independent Music Network and IMNTV, operates a diversified entertainment company which is presently webcasting programming consisting of music videos of unsigned artists and bands from around the world.

 

DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 1, 2004. Operations from the Company’s inception through October 31, 2004 were devoted primarily to strategic planning, raising capital and developing revenue-generating opportunities.

 

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 that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers financial instruments with a maturity date of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at October 31, 2004.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized.

 

The Company purchased various assets necessary to webcast it’s programming from the Company’s founder, who is its President/CEO and a director, in exchange for a $1,500,000 promissory note (see Note 3). The Company reviewed the future recoverability of these acquired assets for impairment and since the Company has not executed contractual arrangements that provide reliable and objective evidence supporting future cash flows to recover the cost of these assets, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,500,000 in the accompanying statement of operations for the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

OCTOBER 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1 -     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets, liabilities, and other transactions did not result in a provision for current or deferred income taxes for the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004.

 

NOTE 2 -     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Company’s financial instrument that is exposed to a concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality institution. At October 31, 2004, the Company’s cash balance on deposit exceeds federal depository insurance limits by approximately $108,000.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which the determination of fair value is practicable. SFAS No. 107 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as outlined below:

 

  Cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, advances from officer/director – The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

  Note payable to officer/director – The carrying amount approximates its fair value because the interest rate on the debt approximates the Company’s expected current borrowing rate.

 

The Company’s financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.

 

NOTE 3 - -     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS – OFFICER/DIRECTOR

 

ADVANCES FROM OFFICER/DIRECTOR

 

During the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004, the President/CEO/ and director provided short-term working capital advances totaling $17,500. Such advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand.

NOTE 3 -     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS – OFFICER/DIRECTOR (Continued)

 

NOTE PAYABLE

 

At October 31, 2004, the note payable to officer/director consisted of amounts due to the Company’s founder, who is also the President/CEO/ and a director of the Company. The note bears interest at 6%, and is due on demand. Interest expense on the note amounted to $22,500 for the period from July 1, 2004 (inception) through October 31, 2004.

 

NOTE 4 - -     COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED

 

The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock. Of the authorized shares, 20,350,000 shares have been allocated to the founders of the Company (“founder’s shares”). The Company did not receive any consideration for the founder’s shares and, accordingly, has recognized $2,035 in compensation expense in connection with the allocation of these shares.

 

As of October 31, 2004, the Company completed a private placement to 47 investors for the allocation of 1,107,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share (“private placement shares”). The Company received gross proceeds of $276,750 from the offering. Of the total gross proceeds, $10,000 was received on November 10, 2004 and has been reflected as a subscription receivable in the accompanying financial statements. The Company incurred offering costs of $46,604 and has applied such costs against the proceeds from the offering.

 

The founder’s shares and private placement shares have not been issued as of October 31, 2004.

 

NOTE 5 -     GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,303,201, has not earned any revenues, and has incurred a net loss since its inception totaling $1,525,382. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company intends to improve the content and quality of its programming, expand the size and number of markets in which the programming content would be available, enter into sponsorship agreements and marketing partnerships, and enter into agreements with wireless telecommunication companies on a subscription basis. Management believes it will be successful in raising additional capital sufficient to continue operations.

Item 28. Undertakings.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has 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. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  2. For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and the offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

ARTICLE I

SHAREHOLDERS

 

SECTION 1. Annual Meetings

 

(a) The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Florida or at such other place within or without the State of Florida as may be determined by the Board of Directors and as may be designated in the notice of such meeting. The meeting shall be held on the third Tuesday of February of each year or on such other day as the Board of Directors may specify. If said day is a legal holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day not a legal holiday.

 

(b) Business to be transacted at such meeting shall be the election of directors to succeed those whose terms are expiring and such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.

 

(c) In the event that the annual meeting, by mistake or otherwise, shall not be called and held as herein provided, a special meeting may be called as provided for in Section 2 of this Article I in lieu of and for the purposes of and with the same effect as the annual meeting.

 

SECTION 2. Special Meetings

 

(a) A special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation may be called for any purpose or purposes at any time by the President of the Corporation, by the Board of Directors or by the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

(b) At any time, upon the written direction of any person or persons entitled to call a special meeting of the shareholders, it shall be the duty of the Secretary to send notice of such meeting pursuant to Section 4 of this Article I. It shall be the responsibility of the person or persons directing the Secretary to send notice of any special meeting of shareholders to deliver such direction and a proposed form of notice to the Secretary not less than 15 days prior to the proposed date of said meeting.

 

(c) Special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Florida, on such date, and at such time as shall be specified in the notice of such special meeting.

 

SECTION 3. Adjournment

 

(a) When the annual meeting is convened, or when any special meeting is convened, the presiding officer may adjourn it for such period of time as may be reasonably necessary to reconvene the meeting at another place and time.

 

(b) The presiding officer shall have the power to adjourn any meeting of the Shareholders for any proper purpose, including, but not limited to, lack of a quorum, securing a more adequate meeting place, electing officials to count and tabulate votes, reviewing any shareholder proposals or passing upon any challenge which may properly come before the meetings.


(c) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and any business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. If, however, after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in compliance with Section 4(a) of this Article I to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

SECTION 4. Notice of Meetings, Purpose of Meeting, Waiver

 

(a) Each shareholder of record entitled to vote at any meeting shall be given in person, or by first class mail, postage prepaid, written notice of such meeting which, in the case of a special meeting, shall set forth the purpose(s) for which the meeting is called, not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date of such meeting. If mailed, such notice is to be sent to the shareholder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, unless the shareholder shall be requested of the Secretary in writing at least 15 days prior to the distribution of any required notice that any notice intended for him or her be sent to some other address, in which case the notice may be sent to the address so designated. Notwithstanding any such request by a shareholder, notice sent to a shareholder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer books of this Corporation as of the record date shall be deemed properly given. Any notice of a meeting sent by United States mail shall be deemed delivered when deposited with proper postage thereon with the United States Postal Service or in any mail receptacle under its control.

 

(b) A shareholder waives notice of any meeting by attendance, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting or by waiving notice in writing either before, during or after such meeting. Attendance at a meeting for the express purpose of objecting that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened, however, will not constitute a waiver of notice by a shareholder who states at the beginning of the meeting, his or her objection that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

(c) A waiver of notice signed by all shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may also be used for any other proper purpose including, but not limited to, designating any place within or without the State of Florida as the place for holding such a meeting.

 

(d) Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

 

SECTION 5. Closing of Transfer Books, Record Date, Shareholders’ List

 

(a) In order to determine the holders of record of the capital stock of the Corporation who are entitled to notice of meetings, to vote a meeting or adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of any dividend, or for any other purpose, the Board of Directors may fix a date not more than 60 days prior to the date set for any of the above-mentioned activities for such determination of shareholders.

 

(b) If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least 10 days immediately preceding such meeting.

 

(c) In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than 60 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken.

(b) In the event that the action to which the shareholders consent is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under the Florida General Corporation Act if such action had been voted on by shareholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such other section shall state that written consent has been given in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of this Article I.

(f) Notwithstanding a provision in a proxy stating that it is irrevocable, the proxy becomes revocable after the pledge is redeemed, the debt of the Corporation is paid, the period of employment provided for in the contract of employment has terminated, or the agreement under Article XI hereof has terminated and, in a case provided for in Section 10(e) (iii) or Section 10(e) (iv) of this Article I, becomes revocable three years after the date of the proxy or at the end of the period, if any, specified therein, whichever period is less, unless the period of irrevocability of the proxy as provided in this Section 10. This Section 10(f) does not affect the duration of a proxy under Section 10(b) of this Article I.

 

5


(g) A proxy may be revoked, notwithstanding a provision making it irrevocable, by a purchaser of shares without knowledge of the existence of the provisions unless the existence of the proxy and its irrevocability is noted conspicuously on the face or back of the certificate representing such shares.

 

(h) If a proxy for the same shares confers authority upon two or more persons and does not otherwise provide, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one is present then that one, may exercise all the powers conferred by the proxy. If the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, the voting of such shares shall be prorated.

 

(i) If a proxy expressly so provides, any proxy holder may appoint in writing a substitute to act in his or her place.

(a) Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent, or proxy designated by the bylaws of the corporate shareholder; or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person as the board of directors of the corporate shareholder may designate. Proof of such designation may be made by presentation of a certified copy of the bylaws or other instrument of the corporate shareholder. In the absence of any such designation, or in case of conflicting designation by the corporate shareholder, the chairman of the board, president, any vice president, secretary and treasurer of the corporate shareholder, in that order, shall be presumed to possess authority to vote such shares.

 

(b) Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his or her name.

(c) Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver. Shares held by or under the control of a receiver but not standing in the name of such receiver, may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

(e) Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation belonging to the Corporation or held by it in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.

Such extension agreement shall not affect the rights or obligations or persons not parties to the agreement, and such persons shall be entitled to remove their shares from the trust and promptly to have their stock certificates reissued upon the expiration of the original term of the voting trust agreement. The extension agreement shall in every respect comply with and be subject to all the provisions of this Section 4, applicable to the original voting trust agreement except that the 10 year maximum period of duration shall commence on the date of adoption of the extension agreement.

 

(e) The trustees under the terms of the agreements entered into under the provisions of this Section 4, shall not acquire the legal title to the shares but shall be vested only with the legal right and title to the voting power which is incident to the ownership of the shares.

 

(f) Notwithstanding generally applicable prohibitions against a corporation’s voting of treasury stock, if the Corporation is the trustee under a voting trust, it shall have full authority to vote such shares in accordance with the terms of the voting trust agreement, even if such agreement vests absolute and unfettered voting discretion in the trustee and notwithstanding that the voting trust was created at the prompting or direction of the Corporation, its officers or directors.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

 

This Corporation may, in its discretion, indemnify any director, officer, employee, or agent in the following circumstances and in the following manner:

 

(a) The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a part, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by, or in the right of, the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees at all trial and appellate levels), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonable believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(b) The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees at all trial

 

19


and appellate levels), actually and reasonable incurred by him in connection with the defense of settlement of such action or suit, including any appeal thereof, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is rarely and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

 

(c) To the extent that a Director, Officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections (a) or (b) of this Article IX, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees at trial and appellate levels) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any indemnification under Sections (a) or (b) of this Article IX, unless pursuant to a determination by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections (a) or (b) or this Article IX. Such determination shall initially be made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding. If the Board of Directors shall, for any reason, decline to make such a determination, then such determination shall be made by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that a determination made by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section may be appealed to the shareholders by the party seeking indemnification or any party entitled to call a special meeting of the shareholders pursuant to Section 2 of Article I and, in such case, the determination made by the majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding shall prevail over a contrary determination of the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section.

 

(e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees at all trial and appellate levels) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon a preliminary determination following one of the procedures set forth in this Article IX, that a Director, Officer, employee or agent met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article IX, and upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this section.

 

(f) The Corporation may make any other or further indemnification, except an indemnification against gross negligence or willful misconduct, under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in the indemnified party’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

(g) Indemnification as provided in this Article IX may continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and may inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person upon a proper determination initially made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding. If the Board of Directors shall, for any reason, decline to make such a determination, then such determination may be made by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that a

 

20


determination made by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section may be appealed to the shareholders by the party seeking indemnification or his representative or by any party entitled to call a special meeting of the shareholders pursuant to Section 2 or Article I and in such case, the determination made by the majority vote of quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding shall prevail over a contrary determination of the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section (g).

 

(h) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.

 

(i) If any expenses or other amounts are paid by way of indemnification, otherwise than by court order or action by the shareholders or by an insurance carrier pursuant to insurance maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation shall, not later than the time of delivery to shareholders or written notice of the next annual meeting of shareholders unless such meeting is held within three months from the date of such payment, and, in any event, within 15 months from the date of such payment, deliver either personally or by mail to each shareholder of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of Directors a statement specifying the persons paid, the amount paid, and the nature and status at the time of such payment of the litigation of threatened litigation.

 

(j) This Article IX shall be interpreted to permit indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any part of this Article shall be found to be invalid or ineffective in any action, suit of proceeding, the validity and effect of the remaining part thereof shall not be affected. The provisions of this Article IX shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits, or proceedings made or commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring before or after its adoption.

Re: Global Music International, Inc. (the “Company”)

 

Dear Ms. Fallacaro:

 

This opinion is given in connection with the registration of 21,407,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $.0001 par value, included in a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

We have acted as counsel to the Company only in connection with the preparation of the Form SB-2 Registration Statement pursuant to which the Shares were registered and, in so acting, have examined the originals and copies of corporate instruments, certificates and other documents of the Company and interviewed representatives of the Company to the extent we deemed it necessary, in order to form the basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon statements or certificates of officers or representatives of the Company with respect to any material fact not otherwise readily ascertainable through our due diligence.

 

The 21,407,000 shares being offered by the Company are now authorized but unissued shares.

 

Based on, and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that 21,407,000 Shares being registered in this Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable and there will be no personal liability to the owners thereof. Based upon our interpretation of Florida law and its Constitution, no representations stated or set forth in this opinion is in contravention of Florida law or its Constitution.
