NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Nature of Operation. Kahzam, Inc. (formally Centaurus Resources Corp.) (the Company) was incorporated on July 23, 2007 as Centaurus Resources, Inc., under the laws of the State of Delaware, and established a fiscal year end of August 31. On May 12, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Kahzam, Inc., a Florida Corporation, in exchange for 4,000,000 Shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Following this acquisition, the Company completed a statutory merger, which became effective on May 31, 2009, and the name of the Company was changed to Kahzam, Inc. (a Delaware corporation). Simultaneously with the merger, each Share of issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company was exchanged for three Shares of new Kahzam, Inc. Common Stock.
The Company is considered a development stage enterprise as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Companies". The Company has no revenue to date and there is no assurance the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the 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 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 differ from those estimates.
Depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lines of the relative assets, which range as follows:
|
Furniture & Fixtures
|
|
5-7 years
|
|
Office Equipment
|
|
5-7 years
|
|
Computer Software
|
|
5 years
|
The company uses other depreciation methods (generally, accelerated depreciation methods) for tax purposes where appropriate.
Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accrued expenses.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in one bank in the United States. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution that holds the Company financial instrument is financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the specified period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares during the specified period. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities.
Evaluation of long-lived Assets. The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified.
Income Taxes. In February 1992, the Financial Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences between the financial statement carrying amounts of the existing assets and their respective basis.
Deferred assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. For the period ended May 31, 2010 and the year ended August 31, 2009 the effective rates were:
The differences between Federal income tax rates and the effective income tax rates are:

The Company has a net operating loss carry forward as of May 28, 2010 of approximately $1,013,010 which is offset by a 100% valuation allowance due to the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate realization of these assets. The loss carry-forwards expires at various dates through 2029.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. For financial instruments including cash and accrued expenses, it was assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of such instruments.
New Financial Accounting Standards. The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2010 of $294,250 and cumulatively since inception for the period July 23, 2007 to May 31, 2010 of $1,013,010. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support these operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is currently raising working capital to fund its operations via a private placement of common stock.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
In May 2007, the FASB issued FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“the FSP”), which provides guidance for determining whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under the FSP, a tax position could be effectively settled on completion of examination by a taxing authority is the entity does not intend to appeal or litigate the result and it is remote that the taxing authority would examine or re-examine the tax position. The Company does not expect that this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” which establishes how an acquiring company recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed (including intangibles) and any non-controlling interests in the acquired entity. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51’s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS No. 141(R). SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial statements.

INTERACTIVE MEDIA TECHNOLOGY AND SOLUTIONS
Mobile Marketing Channel
Mobile communications and computing are poised to become the dominant global media consumption devices. The “mobile lifestyle” is transforming media and advertising markets as consumers access increasing amounts of media and messages using laptops, smart phones, netbooks, the I-Pad, Kindles and online and console game sets. According to textmessageblog.com, 5 billion text messages are sent each day. This is completely changing the rules of engagement for marketers who now must rethink their time-honored strategies in order to reach these dynamic audiences.
Total US Internet ad spending increased to $25.7 billion in 2009, an 8.9% growth rate. This spending stream is growing 3x to 5x faster than total marketing. Beyond news sites, video is now the fastest-growing segment of the Internet advertising market. Digital video amounted to $477 million in revenue in the first half of 2009, up 38 percent from the same time period in 2008, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau. With an estimated $5 billion in revenue in the first half of 2009, search remains the dominant segment of online advertising. Search centric advertising is forecasted to slow – since as we have discussed, search and SEO is fast becoming a commodity that no longer censures competitive advantage and sustainable product or brand leadership. Search will be replaced by intelligent media and audience management solutions built and delivered by companies like Madison Ave. Media!
One such strategy is couponing. While savings from printed coupons typically grow at an annual rate of 8-16%, digital coupon savings grew at 170% in 2009 alone. Total savings exceeded $858 million. And while digital coupons still represent a small portion of the overall market, the trend toward accelerated and sustained growth is undeniable. Madison Ave. Media is poised to lead this mobile marketing revolution.
The Madison Ave. Media Mobile Marketing Group (MMG)
SMS text messaging is the most widely used data application on the planet. More than 136 million Americans send and receive text messages on their cell phones. More than 80% of cell phone users have their phones with them at all times. And more than 90% of all text messages are read. When cell phone users were asked, ”What is the best way for companies to interact with you?” They said, “Send us deals and coupons!” The Madison Ave. Media Mobile Marketing Group (MMG) has answered that call.
MMG can deliver SMS text coupon savings to any cell phone. A smart phone is not required. Without doubt, this effective, affordable, “green” advertising medium is the future of direct marketing. While businesses and consumers continue to rely on coupon
savings – especially in the current economy – traditional coupon delivery media, such as newspapers, magazines and printed direct mail, have become far less effective. Print readership and relevance is plummeting. Advertisers are demanding much higher performance and complete accountability at a much lower cost. MMG delivers incredible value to businesses and consumers, as well as 100% measurable results, at a fraction of the cost of traditional print coupon campaigns.
Currently, MMG can provide real-time coupon delivery to more than 60 million cell phone users. This database can be targeted by state, zip code and/or area code. And, MMG is implementing aggressive, regional, grass roots branding and viral marketing plan that will significantly expand and enrich this database with millions of new, mobile-driven consumers and dozens of targetable behavioral marketing attributes. While the plan focuses on young people, college students, sports and event enthusiasts, and other savvy members of “Generation Text,” MMG expects a high degree of acceptance among all demographic, psychographic and behavioral groups.
MMG’s patent-pending delivery service employs “long code” technology (already approved for use on all 17 major US carriers) that allows any cell phone in the world equipped with SMS services to interact with its coupon database. It enables mobile consumers to enter a product or service category, or a merchant name (in 23 languages), and instantly receive any available discounts or coupons in the form of SMS text message.
This interactive database also lets consumers choose their coupons, choose their preferred store location and even have the location’s GPS coordinates or map directions sent directly to their phones. Consumers can also search their current location (e.g. Pizza 37027) to instantly find the best and closet deals. Once a digital coupon is downloaded to a cell phone, consumers can redeem it – not just one time, but as many times as they wish until the offer expires – simply by displaying the message on their phone at the point of purchase.
Both the consumer and merchant markets are ready and waiting for these capabilities. Presently, only 1% of all US coupons are delivered to cell phones. However, credible industry research indicates that, by 2011, more than three billion text coupons will be issued to mobile consumers. This will represent almost seven billion dollars in redeemed discounts. The opportunities for market and profitability growth are real and significant.
Today, almost every viable consumer has a cell phone. With its patent-pending technology, enormous, interactive database and 100% measurable results, The Madison Ave. Media Mobile Marketing Group is ideally positioned to lead the next, great direct marketing revolution – SMS text coupons.
What makes us different?
Efficiency -- Our coupons are paperless, Green, and their form factor drives tremendous productivity across the processing cycle.
Intelligence -- When our coupon is used, we capture highly valuable intelligence --- Source, Time stamp, Who, Where... We give the Chief Marketing Officer information that will make them smart, and make their campaigns increasingly targeted and valuable.
Revenue Growth -- On the surface, coupons reduce revenue. In reality, the SMART Coupon Solution from Madison Ave. Media increases revenue and cash flow. Our intelligence engine will show the retailer how much LIFT the campaign generated. It will enable them to manage capacity and resources more efficiently with time blocks.
When this economic rebound is in full force, there will be a natural tendency to cut back on coupons to protect price and revenue --- Not so with ours ... The Madison Ave. Media Coupon Solution is an intelligence builder.... lifting revenue, customer loyalty, increasing productivity.
EMAIL MARKETING CHANNEL
In today’s highly fragmented media market, consumers are more difficult to pin down than ever. They are constantly surfing hundreds of TV and radio stations and countless websites.
No medium or media outlet seems to capture their attention long enough for advertisers to make a pitch, let alone make a connection.
Nevertheless, advertisers still want to get as close to consumers as possible - close enough to interact. But consumers are too busy and too selective to be distracted by meaningless messages and offers for things they do not want. They no longer tolerate intrusive advertising. They zap commercials, change channels, disable pop-ups and report spam, all to avoid unwanted advertising.
Consumers want to decide for themselves which messages are important, which offers are valuable and which brands are worthy of their consideration. They are willing to “sit still” for certain advertisements, but they have to want that information. They are willing to consider, compare and evaluate various brands and offers, but only on their own terms. In other words, marketers must ask for their permission first.
The Madison Ave. Media Email Marketing Group (EMG)
Madison Ave. Media’s Email Marketing Group (EMG) specializes in permission-based direct email and mobile marketing, as well as traditional direct mail, database enhancement, direct mail list rentals and custom lead generation.
EMG offers proprietary, fully integrated solutions and services that traditional advertising methods and typical list companies simply cannot provide. These can give any client a unique competitive advantage. EMG can:
·
|
Target only the consumers most likely to be interested in a client’s offers, products and services
|
·
|
Tailor compelling offers and promotions that generate interest and motivate consumer interaction and commitment
|
·
|
Provide accurate, measurable results
|
·
|
Maximize campaign performance, sales revenue and return on investment.
|
24-Karat Data
EMG’s data is a proprietary product that is compiled and managed in-house. The Company does not purchase or rent data from unreliable, outside sources. All data records are verified for accuracy every 30-45 days. This pristine and powerful database includes:
·
|
169 million complete, accurate postal records
|
·
|
140 million of these records have matching, accurate email addresses
|
·
|
60 million of these records have matching, accurate mobile phone numbers
|
A double-opt-in permission procedure ensures that 100% of the individuals and businesses in the database have agreed to receive messages from Madison Ave. Media
To further protect the integrity and critical “white-list” status of this network, EMG only sends messages that are relevant to each individual. The number of messages sent to any individual is carefully limited in order to avoid “list fatigue”, “opt-outs,” and “screamers.”
As a result, EMG’s data quality and marketing practices meet or exceed all Federal CANSPAM mandates, DMA and Mobile Marketing Association guidelines and NCOA and CASS certification requirements.
Engaging the Consumer
EMG goes far beyond conventional consumer targeting to reach individual, highly receptive consumers who are most likely to be interested in your offers. EMD data can be focused through more than 100 selectable filters and can be cross-referenced in
more than 700 different ways. This yields laser accurate market lists that target demographic, geographic and lifestyle attributes, as well as consumer behaviors and preferences. These “selects” are determined though regular and comprehensive consumer surveys.
EMG emails can link to a full range of multimedia experiences that further engage the consumer and encourage fulfillment. These include targeted promotions, video content, news, product/service reviews, e-commerce opportunities and social networking.
Most of EMG’s email addresses have matching postal addresses. This enables clients to target specific individuals with both email and direct mail messages. And EMG’s 60 million matching mobile numbers can also be added to the mix to achieve comprehensive, multi-channel target market reach. This “match-in-market” program can help drive consumers from the email to the offer to contact and beyond.
Tracking Campaign Performance
One of the main reasons marketers rely on direct email marketing is its ability to quickly deliver reliable performance assessments. EMG reports accurate campaign results in less than 24 hours and is in development with real time reporting dashboards. EMG’s analytics capture, measure and evaluate almost every consumer click from the In-Box to fulfillment. This information enables EMG to optimize the campaign’s targets, offer and message to improve performance or take advantage of any emerging opportunities indicated by the results.
The growth of direct email marketing has been exponential. Madison Ave. Media’s immense (and growing) database, targeting power, integrated, multi-channel delivery options, reliable results and exemplary business practices will enable the Company to reap the rewards of this highly valuable and profitable market.
INTERNET MARKETING GROUP (IMG)
The Madison Ave. Media Internet Marketing Group (IMG) is developing and offering a comprehensive platform of next-generation online search and portal services. This platform features fully integrated multimedia content, social networking, e-commerce and advertising with seamless distribution across multiple channels and devices. All of these capabilities can be customized to meet the diverse needs of individual users, as well as enterprises and affinity groups in targeted niche markets. A complete technical support system ensures an optimal experience for all users, clients, publishers, developers and marketers.
Search Power
IMG maintains a vast index of websites and other online content that is freely available to all Internet users via the search engine. The platform’s automated search technology
helps anyone to obtain nearly instant access to relevant information from this index. The platform also features a proprietary search algorithm that aggregates listings from all major search engines and displays them along with unique IMG listings on a single Search Results Page.
IMG will offer branded online search capabilities, with enhanced privacy and security features, to individual consumers and organizations. It will also license its proprietary search engine technology to websites that wish to include “Powered by” search functionality within their domains.
Portal Power
The IMG “public” portal includes the features, functions and content that put the full power of the Web at the user’s fingertips such as:
·
|
Comprehensive Multimedia Streaming – built around a full-featured media player and powered by a proprietary technology that enables real-time video content streaming to video-ready mobile devices, as well as computer-based displays;
|
·
|
Comprehensive Multimedia Content - with interactive access to IMG “preferred” and user-selectable world, U.S., local, sports, financial, health, lifestyle, entertainment, political, science and weather news content;
|
·
|
Comprehensive Search Capabilities – a full-service Internet search engine that displays search criteria, search results (including results from competing search sites), sponsored results, proprietary local and regional classified ads and other advertising;
|
·
|
Comprehensive e-Commerce Capabilities – populated with IMG “preferred” stores, as well as other user-selectable stores, it includes a shopping comparison engine, a clearinghouse for store/advertiser discounts and special deals, and complete integration with Madison Ave. Media’s mobile couponing system;
|
·
|
Comprehensive Data Acquisition – including user polls and surveys, as well as dating, travel, real estate and job sites that yield valuable personal and behavioral information;
|
·
|
Comprehensive Social Networking and Communication Capabilities – including integrated email, IM and chat rooms, as well as full-featured, user-created personal and blog sites and a host of additional “sticky” features to help make sure users stick around.
|
IMG will provide a “white label” version of its search/portal to any qualified enterprise or affinity group at no charge to the organization or its members. Each organization will also receive a share of all revenue generated by its fully customizable, self-branded search/portal. This no cost, revenue sharing model virtually assures rapid, substantial market penetration and enthusiastic organization support.
IMG’s “white label” strategy can rapidly aggregate multiple, highly segmented, “captive” and “loyal” consumer audiences, and effectively monetize the platform through multiple revenue streams. And it can achieve all of this without incurring the costs of direct competition with other well-established search/portal companies.
Marketing Power
IMG’s ability to aggregate and precisely segment large, captive, loyal audiences represents a “mother lode” for marketers. It expects its search/portal platform to
generate significant revenue from advertising sales, e-commerce commissions and sponsorships.
Adverse economic conditions, a highly fragmented media marketplace and ever more sophisticated and elusive consumers are forcing marketers to spend their advertising dollars more effectively and efficiently. They are turning away from traditional broadcast and print advertising and embracing fully measurable, Internet-driven, digital marketing campaigns that precisely target consumers via data gleaned from behavioral tracking and social networking.
The IMG platform has been specifically designed to capture and deliver these data and targets. It includes comprehensive tracking and analytics, as well as proprietary Differentiated Business Intelligence (see page 18). This technology transcends standard data profiling and delivers invaluable, real-time consumer perceptions, preferences and insights. These data will enable advertisers to craft laser-focused messages and offers that speak directly to individual consumers. As a result, IMG is poised to carve out a significant share of the estimated $23 billion U.S. Internet advertising market.
WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
In order for Madison Ave. Media to compete and excel in any of our Web-based channels, we must constantly anticipate, adapt and grow as new technologies emerge and new techniques prove useful. This proactive approach to harnessing and leveraging the power of change is essential not only to the success of the Company, but also to the satisfaction of the clients, audiences and interests we serve. To help ensure strong, continued technical leadership, Madison Ave. Media plans to acquire a comprehensive Web content management capability and fully integrate these systems across all Company technology platforms.
The Madison Ave. Media Web Content Management Group (WCMG)
The Web Content Management Group (WCMG) will provide the Company and its clients with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and management services, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) lead-generation expertise and database development and optimization services. These critical competencies will create tremendous benefits internally, as well as add incredible value to Madison Ave. Media at every consumer and marketer touch point.
SEO has become an art form unto itself. And it is indispensable to obtaining optimal content and keyword composition and placement, optimal search page rankings, optimal site visibility, optimal traffic volume and high quality inquiries. All of this ultimately optimizes cost efficiency, revenue and profitability.
WCMG also deploys PPC marketing tactics based on a combination of quality advertisements, optimal keywords, savvy bidding and competitive advantages that deliver client campaigns to prime page position with a lower cost-per-acquisition. WCMG constantly monitors the online keyword auctions to enable bid adjustments and achieve the best results at the lowest possible cost. It also builds customized landing pages and other tools to help consumers and advertisers take full advantage of each interaction, each offer and each transaction.
ADVANCED HYBRID MEDIA SOLUTIONS
While all forms of digital media are in rapid ascendancy, most forms of “traditional” or “legacy” media, such as print, radio and out-of-home, appear to be endangered species. However, Madison Ave. Media has developed several, powerful “hybrid” media applications that breathe new “interactive” life and effectiveness into key legacy channels and create new opportunities for marketers to extend their reach and engage their audiences, wherever they may be.
The Madison Ave. Media Exchange (ME)
The competition for consumer “eyes and ears” is tougher than ever. Traditional media outlets are facing the unprecedented challenges of an uncertain economy, shrinking advertising budgets, a highly fragmented mediascape and stiff competition from the Internet. And these organizations are weathering steep declines in listeners, viewers, subscribers and, subsequently, critical advertising revenues.
As a result, almost every traditional media outlet has a significant inventory of valuable advertising space or time that are underutilized or left unsold. Unsold commercial airtime turns into station promotions and public service announcements instead of revenue-producing commercials. Unsold newspaper and magazine ad space is simply removed or replaced with additional column inches of copy.
At the same time, local and national advertisers – traditional media’s most important “customers” - continue to search for innovative opportunities to somehow increase
brand exposure and extend the reach and effectiveness of their advertising on ever-tightening budgets. To date, traditional media companies have not met this customer need. In fact, “innovative opportunities” does not seem to be part of the lexicon: Cost cutting, layoffs and outsourcing are.
The Madison Ave. Media Exchange (ME) is a unique solution to these challenges: convert stranded commodities to assets that the market can value.
ME provides the medium for a simple, dollar-for-dollar exchange of valuated advertising space or time for Madison Ave. Media interactive marketing services. These assets are available for use by the participating media outlet or Madison Ave. Media on demand.
Madison Ave. Media uses the print pages, airtime, billboards, banner ads and other media deposited in ME to promote its integrated marketing services or to provide integrated advertising opportunities for its clients and their brands.
The Company can also use ME assets to promote media-driven start-up companies, as well as small brands that cannot afford the paid media exposure necessary to build awareness and sales. In this way, Madison Ave. Media can invest media assets in a company in return for partial ownership and/or a profit-sharing relationship.
And finally, as ME secures deposits of advertising pages in leading business, investment and financial publications, Madison Ave. Media can use these assets to help promote its various existing investment properties and opportunities.
In exchange, a participating media outlet can deploy a wide range of Madison Ave. Media services to create a significant competitive advantage that helps meet the unique challenges of its marketplace. These may include:
·
|
Outbound mobile text coupon campaigns
|
·
|
Outbound direct email campaigns
|
·
|
Data appending services
|
·
|
List management services
|
·
|
New offer and product testing services
|
·
|
Customized, turnkey mobile and email marketing services
|
Madison Ave. Media can also deposit advertising assets from its own traditional media channels, as well as from other future entertainment investments.
Each participating media outlet can use Madison Ave. Media marketing services to reach not only its own audience, but all other Madison Ave. Media opt-in consumers in the media outlet’s entire coverage area. The Company can target these consumers in any demographic, geographic or socio-economic mix that will best benefit the media outlet and its advertisers. This enables the media outlet to dramatically increase the reach and effectiveness of an advertiser’s message. It also provides a strong incentive for advertisers to increase overall spending with the participating media outlet, as well as all other MAME participating media outlets.
TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS
Business Intelligence
Through a venture with a team of MIT professors, the Madison Ave. Media data solution set now includes the power of Differentiated Business Intelligence (DBI). The Company has obtained the exclusive right to market and deploy this proprietary, state-of-the-art technology to the global market.
DBI enables a constant flow of consumer information, insights, perceptions and preferences to be harvested directly from the Web. Surveys, focus groups and other traditional monitored techniques will no longer be necessary. This data can then be analyzed and delivered to any client in any industry – in real time.
This subscription-based “software-as-a-service” business will create a separate, significant and sustained revenue stream. However, the bottom-line benefits to Madison Ave. Media, especially its Interactive Media, Hybrid Media and Database divisions, are truly game changing.
DBI arms Madison Ave. Media’s marketing and communications teams with a set of data aggregation analysis weapons and insights that no entity outside of the Department of Defense has yet been able to deliver to the market. DBI renders the Internet transparent. Millions of chat rooms, blogs, media sites, social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook are now truly an open book. Even more important, it provides Madison Ave. Media with the first credible means to demonstrate a real, supportable marketing ROI in any industry – especially the advertising industry.
Data Services
Data is the new currency. It can be tendered and accepted anywhere in the world. It has almost limitless value and comprehensive applications across all conceivable business sectors and consumer markets. And, like other forms of money in the bank, you can never have enough of it.
At its core, Madison Ave. Media is a data aggregation machine. One of its primary business functions is to acquire, compile and refine data, which fuels the services that generate revenue and profits. However, many of Madison Ave. Media’s services, especially those offered through its Interactive and Hybrid Media divisions, automatically create vast quantities of new data as a byproduct of normal business operations. This is not merely interest on money in the bank. This represents freshly minted digital capital that constantly and geometrically increases the value of the Company.
Madison Ave. Media consumes processes and deploys data from a wide range of sources including:
·
|
Mobile marketing/coupon usage, registration and forwarding

MARKET READINESS
The Mobile Market
The mobile communication and computing market is exploding. Mobile phones, smart phones and other portable devices are becoming the primary gateway to Internet usage and Web-enabled applications. They can deliver rich content, ranging from SMS text to video, as well as a host of other interactive capabilities. Most high-value consumers now own one or more of these devices and carry them at all times. The mobile “lifestyle” is here to stay.
All of this validates mobile marketing and advertising as the medium of choice for the foreseeable future. Consumers can engage mobile marketing messages almost anywhere. However, messages engaged in the context of the consumer’s location, behavior and preferences, especially at the point of purchase where the consumer’s purchase intent is optimal, demonstrate nearly incredible performance. Recent research indicates that mobile advertising already far outperforms online advertising.
Although the true potential of mobile marketing and advertising is only now being fully understood, the writing is on the wall. Mobile is poised to become the next superstar on the global, digital marketing and advertising stage. And Madison Ave. Media is committed to making mobile an integral part of all client media strategies, as well as a core component of all Company business strategies.
The Search/Portal Market
Madison Ave. Media believes that current marketplace and industry fundamentals provide an ideal environment for the strategic expansion of its search/portal operations. Targeting the consumer, enterprise, affinity group, social networking and privacy markets, Madison Ave. Media’s goal is to gain 1% of the total multi-billion dollar search engine market.
The current economic downturn has triggered restructurings and consolidations within the affinity group sector. As a result, many large, well-established, organizations are aggressively searching for additional ways to improve member services and generate additional non-dues income. Based on proprietary research into this market space, Madison Ave. Media has determined that this is creating an immediate and significant marketing opportunity for its “white label” portal solution.
The Advertiser Market
Direct response tactics targeting online search, mobile devices and social networking activities continue to experience solid growth, even in this economy. Online advertising achieved more than 20 percent revenue growth in 2008. Digital coupon usage grew 170% in 2009. All other advertising media except “in-cinema” ads are experiencing measurable losses in revenue.
According to advertising agencies, media buyers, publishers and third-party Internet monitoring organizations, marketers will continue to shift an increasing percentage of their total advertising and related marketing budgets from traditional media to digital media channels. Online, search engine and mobile are the fastest growing, most accountable and most cost-effective marketing and advertising media available.

Here is a quote we often hear: "Google commoditizes all companies on the web."
Truth is, we pick up where Google leaves off. Any company with money, 3 high school kids and a brand can manipulate Google to 'rise to the top' in today's world. Google has disintermediated traditional media companies, and ad agencies. They have made marketing the equivalent of an IT project - and companies are signing up because they have no alternative.
They do now. We are the alternative. Not a replacement for Google and the search gang ... we are the required extension. … the logical and essential extension of the current 'search engine cluster'.
Sure search optimization is important. We agree with that. WE do that, but that is just the start! We then combine the power of SEO with:
Predictive modeling -- so you can use SEO to drive campaigns, offerings, beat your competitors;
Massive, targeted web, e-mail and mobile marketing programs -- Unleashing dynamic market trends in your favor, overnight. We deliver REAL REVENUE.
When the audience tells you your brand is tired, or your product is irrelevant, we have experts who will rebuild, reposition and accelerate your brand and products. (They have done it before, check their resumes).
And we immediately follow with campaigns that VALIDATE the work, AND drive new revenues and cash! With our dynamic BI solution, we give you updated PULSE reports daily, weekly or monthly to keep you on top - not just SEO --- but in real financial success (that means customer loyalty, low cost new customer acquisition, REAL ROI for your marketing money).
There is more:
Companies have DORMANT assets-Customer lists, unsold advertising inventory. We step in -- we revitalize those lists. Combined with our lists, we make certain they are current and correct. We build campaigns for our clients that leverage those 'lists' in an informed, business intelligent way. We can run a consumer coupon campaign at warp speed generating real revenue with targeted customers by demographic and psychographic segment, geographic region, time of day, season, etc. It’s paperless, GREEN, low cost! And delivers to our client’s:
1-- Real Revenue and Market Share Growth
2-- Tactical and Long Term Cash flow and Predictability
3-- Strategic customer intelligence and sustainable customer relationships
4-- Better use of assets, empowering otherwise stranded assets
5-- Higher ROI for both “Marketing” and the Company
Media companies have stranded assets (unsold ad inventory) in every media channel. Our exchange monetizes those assets. We breathe life into tired media companies. Because we serve the entire Digital Media Value Chain we are not viewed as a threat. We are the first responders and paramedics, followed by the surgeons --- who triage, restore and breathe new opportunity and value to our clients and partners.
There is a substantial unfulfilled need in the business world today. Smart bankers, PE guys and VC's know the fastest path to growth and prosperity is to address an under-served market. We have chosen ours, and its market value is $320B+ in the US alone. Our differentiator is that, plus having a tiger team of category experts whom our clients will want consulting for them, plus a core of digital assets and advanced, proprietary digital media technology, complemented by selected partners.
When people say, 'you can't beat Google or Yahoo --- answer is -- "They are our feeder system". When people say you can't beat Verizon or ATT, we say, "We are a revenue layer adding value to their networks". Then people say, "I get it"....
Our exit strategy is also clear: We fill a market void that large media companies that have a need to fill in order to complete their business model by acquiring us.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We are still in our development stage and have generated limited revenues to date. We incurred operating expenses of $11,056 and $589,875 for the nine months Ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2010, respectively. These expenses consisted of general operating expenses and professional fees incurred in connection with the day to day operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 were $42,257 increase over the $0 in revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.
Our net loss from inception through May 31, 2010 was $(1,013,010).
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach that point.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash balance at May 31, 2010 was $6,488 with liabilities of $1,515,617,as compared with a cash balance of $1,026 and liabilities of $421,266 at May 31, 2009.
Since inception we have sold a total of $751,995 in equity securities.
If we experience a shortage of funds prior to generating revenue from operations we may utilize funds from our director who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for business operations, however, our director has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to us.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Madison Ave. Media is an advanced digital media company that offers a differentiated and competitive array of marketing technologies and services to clients in multiple industries. Our technology and services bring advanced, highly productive marketing, communications and advertising solutions to clients. Our services address the complete digital media value chain, combining the best practices of traditional media support with the power of technology.
With the power of proprietary software wrapped in industry expertise, we provide highly measurable results to the universe of advertisers and marketers. Our software delivers enterprise business intelligence harvested from unstructured data across the digital landscape -- we help companies hear what their clients are saying about them in a highly actionable form. From there, we assemble deep understanding about our clients’ customers – their perceptions, wants and needs, and then we create uniquely targeted campaigns and media plans based on these analytic findings. We do this through our proprietary aggregation technology, which enables us to “listen in” on unstructured databases. These are public opinion sources that hold unstructured language, such as message boards, chartrooms, and blogs. Our business and statistical analysis converts millions of sound bytes into actionable and measurable strategies and plans – for our clients, which we then design, build and continuously measure. As such, we develop long term, deep client relationships - built on proprietary and scalable intelligence implemented and expanded by category experts from the advertising and communications industries.
In the United States, businesses budget over $320B/year for marketing and communications. Most of this money is being spent on traditional media and campaigns, while the audience has shifted to a personalized, web and mobile consumption model. Madison Ave. Media delivers the power and technology to rapidly move the bulk of this spending to a personalized and measurable digital delivery system. We understand that clients do not simply buy technology, and that things like search engine optimization are now commodities. Our deliverable is personalized marketing intelligence, targeted campaigns built upon pinpoint knowledge, delivered where the audience consumes, and measured down to lift, ROI, market share and comparative positioning. Even deeper, our ability to assemble unstructured conversations into C level action plans, essentially gives our clients a reliable predictive modeling telescope. From that, we formulate strategies and tactics to deliver a sustainable competitive advantage. Madison Avenue has self-funded its first two years of operations – during which we have built and acquired software assets, a scalable technology backbone, a team of industry experts and business leaders, and actionable data on over 150M consumers with reach capabilities via web and mobile platforms.
We have early-adopter proof points in the consumer products industry, as well as in publishing, financial services, media/entertainment and manufacturing. In the process, we have validated the complete business model, affirmed the ROI of our solutions set, and established a scalable business foundation. We have a route to market model that helps ensure accelerated growth.
ITEM 3. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Risk
As we currently operate only in the United States, we do not have any market risk related to international operations or by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $6,488 at May 31, 2010. Our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are held and invested with capital preservation as the primary objective.
Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed-rate interest securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due to our limited cash resources we do not anticipate any interest rate sensitivity that will have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.
Additionally, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. We have no identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not presently involved in any litigation which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, nor is any such litigation anticipated.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other written and oral communications from time to time. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY
Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty that we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
Our market place is very competitive. Failure to successfully compete could harm our business.
We face intense competition in the digital media and marketing industry. Many other competitors are well established, have greater resources and have a name and brand recognition. These companies also have customer bases that are much larger than ours. We cannot be sure that our business model will be successful in differentiating our services from those offered by our much larger competitors.
We have had a limited operating history and have had losses since our inception.
There is no assurance our future operations will result in profitable revenues. We did not commence business operations until May, 2009 following our merger with Kahzam, Inc. Accordingly, we have had a very limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon, among other things:
|
•
|
Our success in raising additional equity capital or debt financing;
|
|
•
|
Our ability to attract customers who will buy our services from us; and
|
|
•
|
Our ability to generate revenues through the sale of our services.
|
Based upon current plans, we expect to increase our revenues from operations during the balance of this calendar year and thereafter. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause you to lose your investment. If we do not make a profit in the future, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
Since we are a small company and do not have significant capital, we must limit the marketing of our services. The sale of services is how we will initially generate revenues. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations. If our Offering is successfully completed, we intend to significantly increase our marketing activities and capabilities.
RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR STOCK
Because there is a limited public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock.
There is currently a limited public trading market for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board market (Symbol: KHZM). There can be no assurance that a public market for our securities will continue, or that in the future our securities may be traded on a national exchange.
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile in the past, may continue to be volatile, and may decline.
The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated widely in the past and may do so in the future. Further, our common stock has limited trading history. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock, many of which are beyond our control, could include:
|
•
|
|
variations in our operating results, including any decline in our revenues;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
announcements of technological innovations, new products and services, acquisitions, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
recruitment or departure of key personnel;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by any securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
market conditions in our industry, the retail industry and the economy as a whole;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
lawsuits threatened or filed against us or other disputes;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or programs applicable to our business; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
the volume of trading in our common stock, including sales upon exercise of outstanding options.
|
In addition, if the market for media and marketing stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence as has happened in recent periods, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating results, or financial condition. The trading price of our common stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. Some companies that have had volatile market prices for their securities have had securities class actions filed against them. A suit filed against us, regardless of its merits or outcome, could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert management’s attention.
Future sales of shares by existing stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause our stock price to decline.
If our existing stockholders, particularly our directors and executive officers and other significant stockholders, sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or are perceived by the public market as intending to sell, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Insiders and other significant stockholders have substantial control over us and will be able to influence corporate matters.
At July 9, 2010, our directors, executive officers and holders of ten percent or more of our common stock beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 75% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. This concentration of ownership could limit your ability to influence corporate matters and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring control over us.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.
We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws:
|
•
|
|
authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to thwart a takeover attempt;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
establish a classified board of directors, as a result of which the successors to the directors whose terms have expired will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
require that directors only be removed from office for cause and only upon a majority stockholder vote;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
provide that vacancies on our board of directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
limit who may call special meetings of stockholders;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thus requiring all actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders;
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
require supermajority stockholder voting to effect certain amendments to our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
require advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals.
|
Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of our shares to decline.
Our shares would be classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder which impose additional sales practice requirements on brokers/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale for you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of our shares to decline.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
The FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
