KINGS ROAD ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of July 31, 2008

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Kings Road Entertainment, Inc., and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Registrant"), have been engaged primarily in the development, financing and production of motion pictures for subsequent distribution in theaters, to pay, network and syndicated television, on home video, and in other ancillary media in the United States (the "domestic market") and all other countries and territories of the world (the "international market"). Kings Road Entertainment, Inc., incorporated in Delaware in 1980, began active operations in January 1983 and released its first motion picture in 1984. Since 1984, it has released 17 additional pictures in the domestic market, and released seven pictures directly to the domestic home video or pay television market. The Company operates out of offices in the USA and in Germany.
 
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended April 30, 2008, included in the Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. annual report on Form 10-KSB for that period.

In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at July 31, 2008, the results of operations for the three month period ended July 31, 2008 and cash flows for the three month period ended July 31, 2008 have been included. The results of operations for the three month period ended July 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. All inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

b. Accounting Method

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected an April 30 year-end.

c. Principals of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of July 31, 2008, we had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Ticker, Inc., (a California corporation), The Big Easy II Film, LLC (a California limited liability corporation) and Kings Road Entertainment Europe GmbH (a German limited liability company). Ticker, Inc. and The Big Easy II Film, LLC, were inactive during the three month period ending July 31, 2008. Kings Road Entertainment Europe GmbH was active and facilitates international co-productions. The consolidated financial statements include those of Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

7


d. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

e. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141-R, “Business Combinations” (revised 2007) (SFAS 141-R). This Statement provides greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141-R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or January 1, 2009 for the Company. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160). This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or January 1, 2009 for the Company. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In November of 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). Under this standard, the Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that is caused by measuring hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use a different accounting method than On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and the related hedging contracts when the complex provisions of SFAS 133 hedge accounting are not met. SFAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption within 120 days of the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year is permissible, provided the Company has not yet issued interim financial statements for 2007 and has adopted SFAS 157. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but does require expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (the FSP). The FSP delayed, for one year, the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on at least an annual basis. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The deferred provisions of SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the entirety of SFAS 157 on its financial position and results of operation.

f. Earnings (Net Loss) Per Share
 
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, we calculate basic net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. We do not have any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options or warrants and we do not have any preferred shares.

g. Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of US Dollars are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting unrealized translation gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign company assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign company revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange for the fiscal year. Gains or losses arising on the translation of the accounts of foreign companies are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

NOTE 3 – CURRENT ASSETS

a. Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash due from banks. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are federally insured. However, at times, these balances could exceed federally insured limits.

b. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company licenses various rights in its films to distributors throughout the world. Generally, payment is received in full or in part prior to the Company's delivery of the film to the applicable distributor. Once calculated royalties from actual sales have exceeded such an advance, the Company receives royalty income at the end of a specific reporting period (usually three, six or twelve months) based on actual sales from the preceding reporting period. As of July 31, 2008, the Company had $69,628 in accounts receivable, none of which were with foreign distributors.

NOTE 4 – FIXED & OTHER ASSETS

a. Fixed Assets

Fixed assets of the Company at July 31, 2008, consisted of various items of office equipment with a historical cost of $5,993 and a $0 book value. All of these items were fully depreciated at July 31, 2008.

b. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of” and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These statements require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less the costs to sell.

c. Film Development Costs

Film development costs are costs incurred for movie projects not yet in production. Film development costs, including any related interest and overhead, are capitalized as incurred. Profit participations and residuals, if any, are accrued in the proportion that revenue for a period bears to the estimated future revenues. Costs are amortized using the individual film forecast method set forth in FASB Statement No. 53 ("SFAS 53"), which bases the costs on the ratio of revenue earned in the current period to the Company's estimate of total revenues to be realized. Management periodically reviews its estimates on a film-by-film basis and, when unamortized costs exceed net realizable value for a film, that film's unamortized costs are written down to net realizable value.

At July 31, 2008, film development costs totaled $563,861 which was net after an allowance of $30,000. During the three month period ended July 31, 2008, no film development costs were determined to be impaired.

NOTE 5 – DEFERRED REVENUE

As of July 31, 2008, the Company has deferred revenue totaling $780,320. The Company is following the guidelines of SOP 00-02 for film production and distribution.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

a. Rent

The Company rents its registered office space at 468 N. Camden Drive, Beverly Hills and an additional office space in Santa Monica, California. The Company also rents flexible storage space for its archives. In Europe, the Company’s subsidiary rents office space in a shared facility. Office Rent expense for the Company's offices and archive storage space was $11,743 and $10,793 during the three months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. All rental agreements may be terminated upon one month’s notice.

b. Contingent Losses & Litigation

At July 31, 2008, we were not involved in any litigation. The Company settled its litigation with a former Officer and Director during the three months ending July 31, 2008. Legal fees associated with litigation are recorded or accrued in the period in which they occur.
 
c. Writing Agreement
 
As a result of a writing agreement signed on February 19, 2008, in connection with a currently untitled feature length motion picture remake/sequel of one of the films in the Company’s library, the Company is obligated to pay the writer a further $66,667 in installments upon completion of certain writing milestones which may occur during the course of the agreement. As these milestones occur, the amounts due will be paid or accrued for.

d. Shareholder Loans

As of July 31, 2008, the Company had borrowed $90,000 from its two largest shareholders under the terms of an arrangement dated July 15, 2008, which authorized the borrowing of up to $500,000 from shareholders of the Company to fund working capital and other needs (the “Shareholder Loans”). The interest charge is accrued with the principal amount of the loans on the Balance Sheet and expensed on the Statement of Operations.
 
10


e. Other Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become involved in matters of dispute which in the aggregate are not believed by management to be material to its financial position or results of operations. As of July 31, 2008, the Company was not involved in any active or passive litigation.

NOTE 7 – RECOGNITION OF REVENUES

Revenue from the sale or licensing of films is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2 “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”). Revenue from the theatrical release of feature films is recognized at the time of exhibition based on the Company’s participation in box office receipts. Revenue from the sale of DVDs rights under licensing agreements is recognized on the later of receipt by the customer or “street date” (when it is available for sale by the customer). Under revenue sharing arrangements, rental revenue is recognized when the Company is entitled to receipts and such receipts are determinable. Revenues from television licensing are recognized when the feature film or television program is available to the licensee for telecast. For television licenses that include separate availability “windows” during the license period, revenue is allocated over the “windows.” Revenue from sales to international territories are recognized when access to the feature film or television program has been granted or delivery has occurred, as required under the sales contract, and the right to exploit the feature film has commenced. Cash payments received are recorded as deferred revenue until all the conditions of revenue recognition have been met.

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from distribution agreements in the US domestic market place and are amortized during the reporting period for which the revenue is applicable. Revenues derived from purchase option agreements are amortized over the period of the option granted. Revenues from theatrical exhibition are recognized on the dates of exhibition. Revenues from international, home video, video-on-demand, television and pay-television license agreements are recognized when the license period begins and the film is available for exhibition or exploitation pursuant to the terms of the applicable license agreement. Once complete, a typical film will generally be made available for licensing as follows:

   
Months After
 
Approximate
 
Marketplace
 
Initial Release
 
Release Period
 
           
Domestic theatrical
   
 
   
0-3 months
 
All international markets
   
 
   
1-12 years
 
Domestic home video/DVD/ Video on Demand
   
3-6 months
   
3-12 months
 
Domestic cable/pay television
   
12-18 months
   
18 months
 
Domestic syndicated/free television
   
24-48 months
   
1-n years
 

These periods are dynamic and as new media, distribution platforms and consumer behavior dictate, they will continue to change.

NOTE 8 - COMMON STOCK

At July 31, 2008, the Company had 12,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which 9,956,493 shares were issued and outstanding.

On July 15, 2008, pursuant to lawsuit settlement agreements with former President and officer Mr. H. Martin DeFrank and shareholder Mr. John M. Burnley, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of its common stock from Mr. DeFrank and 300,000 shares of its common stock from Mr. Burnley. The total of 800,000 shares were returned to the Company and cancelled.

N0TE 9 – DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation of fixed assets is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful life of the improvements or the term of the applicable lease, whichever is less.

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However at July 31, 2008, the Company has sustained recent losses from operations, has a deficit in working capital of $1,053,230 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $26,431,454. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has discontinued certain operations that historically produced negative cash flow and plans to raise capital through equity-based investment instruments, which will provide funding for the development of future projects and operating expenses.
 
NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 1, 2008, Mr. Branko Lustig agreed to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Lustig was elected to fill a vacancy on the Board in accordance with the Company’s bylaws and by a unanimous vote of the directors. Mr. Lustig, will serve on the Board of Directors until the next annual shareholder meeting or until his successor has been elected. Mr. Lustig has no family relationships with any board member or affiliate.
 
By unanimous vote, the Board has agreed to indemnify Mr. Lustig for any losses incurred by him in connection with his service on the Company’s Board of Directors.

The following review concerns the periods ended July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto presented in the Form 10-Q and the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008.

Forward Looking Statements

The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", “estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements.

- the volatile and competitive nature of the film industry,
- the uncertainties surrounding the rapidly evolving markets in which the Company competes,
- the uncertainties surrounding technological change of the industry,
- the Company's dependence on its intellectual property rights,
- the success of marketing efforts by third parties,
- the changing demands of customers and
- the arrangements with present and future customers and third parties.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results of current and future operations may vary materially from those anticipated.
 
Recent Developments

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, the Company has produced no new films and has derived its film revenues almost exclusively from the exploitation of films produced in prior years. The Company continues to fund and develop motion picture projects, with the intention of either producing the motion picture, establishing a partnership or joint venture with another film production company to develop and/or produce the project or an outright sale of the project. The Company’s present development activities include development of screenplays with the aim of producing or co-producing three to five feature films per year. The scope of these development activities are heavily dependent on attaining funding for the business plan.

On December 17, 2007, the Company appointed Mr. Sven Ebeling, Principal of West Coast Pictures LLC to be its Head of Production. On July 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Production Services Agreement (the “PSA”) with West Coast Pictures, LLC (“WCP”). As of the date of this report, WCP owns approximately 40.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and has a proxy to vote another approximately 4.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Sven Ebeling serves as both the Company’s Head of Production and as the manager of WCP. Monika Nosic is a director of the Company and a member of WCP.

On July 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the borrowing of up to $500,000 from shareholders of the Company to fund working capital and other needs (the “Shareholder Loans”). As of July 31, 2008, the Company had borrowed $90,000 at a rate of 3% above the published Wall Street Journal Prime Rate for a one year term, unless renewed.

On July 15, 2008, the Company settled the lawsuits with its former President and officer Mr. H. Martin DeFrank, shareholder Mr. John M. Burnley, an entity purportedly owned or controlled by Mr. DeFrank and Mr. John Burnley. The settlement includes the dismissal of several complaints and cross complaints among the Company, its officers, directors, and Mr. H. Martin DeFrank, shareholder Mr. John M. Burnley and other persons and entities (See Settlement of DeFrank and Shareholder Burnley Lawsuits).

Results of Operations

The Three Months Ended July 31, 2008 vs. the Three Months Ended July 31, 2007

For the quarter ended July 31, 2008, feature film revenues were $70,794 as compared to $44,054 for the quarter ended July 31, 2007. The increase of $26,740 results primarily from increased revenue from distribution of the Company's feature film library. The Company has licensed its films to various, third party distributors and revenue is reported by these distributors on a regular basis and is based on actual sales for a preceding period. Revenue fluctuations from distribution are therefore mainly influenced by consumer demand and the activities of the distributor and the Company has generally no further influence on the sales success of those movies and the resulting fluctuations in revenue.

Costs and expenses amounted to 144,585 for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 as compared to $77,923 during the quarter ended July 31, 2007. This increase of $66,662 is primarily due to increases in external consultant fees, producer and administrative payroll, and travel expenses.

The Company had a net loss of $74,146 for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 as compared to a net loss of $31,922 for the quarter ended July 31, 2007. This increase in net loss of $42,224 results primarily from an increase in external consultant fees, producer and administrative payroll, and travel expenses, which was only partly compensated by an increase in revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal source of working capital during the three month period ended July 31, 2008 was motion picture royalty income. The Company does not currently have sufficient working capital to fund its operations. If the Company fails to raise additional capital, increase revenues, or sell certain assets, the Company will, in all likelihood, be forced to significantly reduce its operations or liquidate.

On July 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the borrowing of up to $500,000 from shareholders of the Company to fund working capital and other needs (the “Shareholder Loans”). As of July 31, 2008, the Company had borrowed $45,000 from each of its two largest shareholders. Shareholder loans are necessary to finance the working capital needs of the Company for an interim period, specifically to continue its reorganization and remain compliant in its financial reporting. The Company’s business plan is based on development and production of new movies and will require further capital. Both the reorganization of the Company, which includes attracting and retaining key personnel and movie assets as well as remaining in financial compliance, will optimize the opportunities available to the Company in attaining the financing required to fully implement its business plan.
 
14


For the three months ended July 31, 2008, the Company's net cash flow used in operating activities was $99,309 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $432,007 during the period ended July 31, 2007. At July 31, 2008, the Company had cash of $56,332 as compared to $121,641 at July 31, 2007.

Future Commitments

As a result of a writing agreement signed on February 19, 2008, in connection with a currently untitled feature length motion picture remake/sequel of one of the films in the Company’s library, the Company is obligated to pay the writer a further $66,667 in installments upon completion of certain writing milestones which may occur during the course of the agreement. As these milestones occur, the amounts due will be either paid or accrued.

The Company does not have, nor is it aware of, any other material future commitments.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, they have concluded that as of July 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended July 31, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, since April 30, 2008, we have begun the following remedial measures relating to our internal control over financial reporting:

 
·
In May 2008, we appointed Mr. Philip Holmes, our President and Director, to the position of Chief Executive Officer to oversee and control the organizational process required to remedy the material weakness that was identified.

 
·
In June 2008, we hired a consultant with extensive experience in public company accounting, operations and financial reporting that has functioned as our corporate controller.

 
·
We are actively seeking to hire additional personnel with knowledge of, and technical expertise in U.S. GAAP.

 
·
We are implementing personnel resource plans and training programs designed to have sufficient personnel with knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Shareholder Complaint against the Company and Derivative Suit

On December 16, 2006, shareholder John M. Burnley, filed a complaint in the State of Delaware to compel an Annual Meeting of shareholders. The complaint alleged that certain members of the Board of Directors were acting in a manner that may be for their own interests and detrimental to that of the shareholders at large. Legal counsel for the Company has reviewed the case and deemed that the necessary steps have not been completed to effectuate this petition and likewise deemed the matter to be inactive at that time.

On April 18, 2007, shareholder Burnley filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of California for and on behalf of the Shareholders of Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. The complaint brought a derivative suit against four Directors of the Company, alleging that they had breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and claiming compensatory damages in the amount of $7,500,000. Subsequent to this report, the case was dismissed without prejudice pursuant to local rule 7-9 on June 12, 2007.

On July 24, 2007, shareholder Burnley, in the right and for the benefit of Kings Road Entertainment Inc., re-filed the above derivative suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court (against four Directors of the Company as well as the Company as a nominal defendant). The complaint alleges that the named Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in conspiring to sell a majority interest in the Company without the benefit of an evaluation of the assets of the Company being performed and at a price considered by Plaintiff to be unreasonable and detrimental to the company and its shareholders, in that the price received for the majority interest was far below certain rival offers existing at the time of the transaction and claiming compensatory damages in the amount of $7,500,000.

On September 28, 2007, the Company filed a demurrer on the grounds that the Plaintiff failed to set forth facts sufficient to state a cause of action against Defendants or disprove that the Directors acted in valid exercise of their business judgment according to Delaware Law. Subsequent to this report, on January 4, 2008, the Plaintiff dismissed the case without prejudice.

On July 15, 2008, the Company settled the lawsuits with shareholder Mr. John M. Burnley. (See Settlement of DeFrank and Shareholder Burnley Lawsuits”).

 Litigation with Director and Former Officer

On June 13, 2007, the Company filed a lawsuit against Director, H. Martin DeFrank, and Sloan Squared, LTC, (“Sloan”), alleging, amongst others, breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud, usurping corporate opportunity, and conversion.

On August 15, 2007, Mr. DeFrank filed a complaint against the Company and three Directors alleging wrongful termination, negligence and violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act. This complaint was amended on October 12, 2007.

On November 13, 2007, the Company and the three named Directors filed a demurrer against this amended complaint. On January 7, 2008, the court issued a tentative ruling upholding the individual Directors’ demurrer on all counts without leave to amend. Subsequent to this report, on February 14, 2008, the court dismissed Mr. DeFrank’s complaint in its entirety.

On July 15, 2008, the Company settled the lawsuits with former President and Director DeFrank. (See “Settlement of DeFrank and Shareholder Burnley Lawsuits”).

Settlement of DeFrank and Shareholder Burnley Lawsuits

On July 15, 2008, the Company settled the lawsuits with its former President and officer Mr. H. Martin DeFrank and shareholder Mr. John M. Burnley by repurchasing 500,000 shares of its common stock from Mr. DeFrank and 300,000 shares of its common stock from Mr. Burnley. The purchase price of Mr. DeFrank’s Shares was $60,000 and the purchase price of the Mr. Burnley’s shares was $24,000.

The Company repurchased these shares as part of a settlement between the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Holmes, Mr. DeFrank, Sloane Squared Ltd., an entity purportedly owned or controlled by Mr. DeFrank and Mr. John Burnley. In addition to the Company’s repurchase of Mr. DeFrank’s shares and Mr. Burnley’s shares, the settlement requires (i) the dismissal with prejudice by the Company of the complaint filed by the Company in the matter of Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. vs. H. Martin DeFrank, Sloane Squared Ltd., et. Al.; (ii) the dismissal with prejudice by the Company and Mr. Holmes of the complaint filed by the Company, Mr. Holmes and Mr. George Moseman, a former officer and Director of the Company in the matter of Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. v.

In addition, as part of the settlement, Mr. DeFrank acknowledged that the common law trademark of the name Kings Road Entertainment is owned exclusively by the Company. Mr. DeFrank further agreed to refrain from any use of the name “Kings Road,” “Kings Road Entertainment,” “KREN,” “Kingsroadscreen,” “Kingsroadmedia,” or any derivations, acronym or words or abbreviations of similar import, in any way or context, including but not limited to email addresses. Mr. DeFrank also agreed to refrain from associating himself with the production of any of the Company’s movie assets except for the possible New Line/Katja remake project of “All of Me.”

Other litigation

As of July 31, 2008, the Company was not aware of any pending claims or assessments, other than as described above or related to the matters described above, which may have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
