KINGS ROAD ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

As of January 31, 2009


NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Kings Road Entertainment, Inc., and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Registrant"), are  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.  Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. was 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 United States 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 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 necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at January 31, 2009, the results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended January 31, 2009 and cash flows for the nine month period ended January 31, 2009 have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
 
b. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2009, the Company 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 and nine month periods ended January 31, 2009. Kings Road Entertainment Europe GmbH which was active during the three and nine month periods ending January 31, 2009, facilitates international co-productions. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
c. 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.

d. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 after April 30, 2009 for the Company. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.

 
7

 
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 after April 30, 2009 for the Company. 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 FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes a common definition of fair value to be used whenever GAAP requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. It also requires expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”) which defers the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In addition, in February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards that require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure most financial assets and liabilities and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of these standards will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
e. 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 have not issued any preferred shares.
 
f. 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. 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 stockholders’ equity.

g. Accruals
On January 31, 2009 the board unanimously approved bonuses to management and staff as well as an issuance of shares as non-cash compensation to the board of directors for their services for the calendar year ending December 31, 2008. The respective amounts for bonuses ($56,000) and directors’ common shares ($10,000) were accrued at January 31, 2009 and expensed in the Statement of Operations for the period.


NOTE 3 – CURRENT ASSETS

a. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash on deposit at 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.

 
8

 
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, nine or twelve months) based on actual sales from the preceding reporting period. As of January 31, 2009, the Company had $52,594 in accounts receivable, of which $27,218 was with a foreign distributor.
 
 
NOTE 4 – FIXED & OTHER ASSETS

a. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets of the Company at January 31, 2009, 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 January 31, 2009.

b. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “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 or 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 Statement of Position 00-2 Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films (“SOP 00-2”) 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 January 31, 2009, film development costs totaled $678,382 which was net after an allowance of $30,000. During the three month period ended January 31, 2009, no film development costs were determined to be impaired.

Subject to the closing of financing, the Company expects to amortize approximately $240,000 of its film development costs during the next twelve months. This represents production of two complete movies and partial production of one further movie. The components of the Company’s film costs at January 31, 2009 relate entirely to movies in development for theatrical release.

Regarding the Company’s released films, there are no unamortized film costs in the balance sheet.

The Company does not have any accrued participation liabilities for its projects in development. The Company accrues costs for participation liabilities primarily for existing movies in distribution in the period and amount in which they occur.  The Company’s cash flows for film costs, participation costs, exploitation costs and manufacturing costs are classified as operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows.

NOTE 5 – DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2 “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”). As of January 31, 2009, the Company has deferred revenue totaling $725,775. The amortization of this amount occurs linearly across the duration of the distribution contracts to which it was advanced.
 
 
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 $13,983 and $10,793 during the three months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $37,236 and $32,379 during the nine months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. All rental agreements may be terminated upon one month’s notice. The increase over prior periods primarily represents the addition of the European subsidiary’s office.
 
b. 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.

c. Stockholder Loans
As of January 31, 2009, the Company had borrowed $103,977 from its two largest stockholders under the terms of an arrangement dated July 15, 2008, which authorized the borrowing of up to $500,000 from stockholders of the Company to fund working capital and other needs (the “Stockholder Loans”). This represents an increase of $13,977 compared to the quarter ending October 31, 2008. The interest charge is accrued with the principal amount of the loans on the Balance Sheet and expensed on the Statement of Operations.  As of January 31, 2009 the accumulated interest for the loans totaled $3,705.  The Company disclosed the board resolution authorizing these loans as well as significant loan terms in a Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2008.
 
d. Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company settled litigation with a former Officer and Director during the three months ended July 31, 2008.  Legal fees associated with litigation are recorded or accrued in the period in which they occur.   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 January 31, 2009, 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 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.
 
10

 
 
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 demands dictate, they will continue to change.

The Company also derives revenues from service production contracts. Third parties engage the Company to develop or produce film projects on a consulting basis. These revenues will generally be recognized in the period in which the work is performed and accrued. The timing difference between the cash flows and the recognition of revenue is recorded as deferred revenue where the cash received exceeds the actual work performed or as accounts receivable where work performed exceeds the payments received.

 
NOTE 8 – COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

At January 31, 2009, the Company had 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which 9,956,493 shares were issued and outstanding and 2,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $.01 par value, of which  no preferred shares were issued or outstanding.  

 
N0TE 9 – 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 January 31, 2009, the Company has sustained recent losses from operations, has a deficit in working capital of $1,206,116 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $26,487,278. 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.

 
N0TE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on March 3, 2009, the Company issued 5,220,000 common shares for services related to the acquisition of nine film projects that are in various stages of development.  Each of International Solutions Business Consulting GmbH, a company solely managed by Philip Holmes and therefore an affiliate of the Company, and West Coast Pictures, LLC whose principal Sven Ebeling is also Head of Production at the Company and therefore an affiliate of the Company, received 2,320,000 common shares in exchange for services related to the acquisition of four projects.  An independent producer also received 580,000 shares in exchange for services related to one project.  This issuance is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  The aforementioned issuance was unanimously approved by the board of directors on January 31, 2009. The related costs have been allocated to the respective project development asset position in the balance sheet. The liability of $104,400 in total was converted to 5,220,000 common shares based on the closing price for the common stock of $0.02 on the day of approval by the board, January 31, 2009.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion concerns the periods ended January 31, 2009 and January 31, 2008, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document as well as the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.


The Three Months Ended January 31, 2009 vs. the Three Months Ended January 31, 2008
For the quarter ended January 31, 2009, operating revenues were $132,617 as compared to $106,182 for the quarter ended January 31, 2008. The increase of $26,435 results primarily from an increase in service production revenue which was partially offset by a decrease in royalties 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 $169,416 for the quarter ended January 31, 2009 as compared to $89,867 during the quarter ended January 31, 2008. This increase of $79,549 is primarily due to an increase in direct project expenses of $18,800 associated with the increase in service production revenues, an increase in accounting and audit fees of $12,000, compensation to management and production team in the form of bonuses and salaries of approximately $67,000 and an award to directors for their services of $10,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in travel expenses of approximately $12,000 and a reduction in legal fees of approximately $17,000.  

The Company had an operating loss of $38,339 for the quarter ended January 31, 2009 as compared to operating  income of $19,637 for the quarter ended January 31, 2008. The increase in operating loss of $57,976 results primarily from the increase in operating costs which were only partially offset by the increase in revenues described in the previous paragraphs.


The Nine Months Ended January 31, 2009 vs. the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2008

For the nine months ended January 31, 2009, operating revenues were $332,115 as compared to $349,541 for the nine months ended January 31, 2008. The decrease of $17,426 results primarily from decreased revenue from distribution of the Company's feature film library which was only partly offset by an increase in service production revenues.

Costs and expenses amounted to $458,835 for the nine months ended January 31, 2009 as compared to $309,292 during the nine months ended January 31, 2008. This increase of $149,543 is primarily due to increases in direct project expenses of $35,000 associated with the increase in service production revenues, an increase in selling expenses of approximately $20,000, an increase in compensation to management and production team in the form of bonuses and salaries of approximately $91,000 which includes a non-cash award of shares valued at $56,000, a non-cash award of shares to directors for their services valued at $10,000, an increase in accounting and audit fees of approximately $24,000. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in legal fees of approximately $31,000.

The Company had an operating loss of $130,449 for the nine months ended January 31, 2009 as compared to operating income of $46,727 for the nine months ended January 31, 2008. This increase in operating loss of $177,176 is as a result of the changes in revenues and costs as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal source of working capital during the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2009 was feature film royalty revenues, production services and stockholder loans. The Company does not currently have sufficient working capital to fund its operations. The Company is presently investing in new film projects and is seeking external financing and other alternatives necessary to raise capital.  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.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2009, the Company's net cash flow used in operating activities was $162,614 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $487,295 during the nine month period ended January 31, 2008. Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $23,682 for the nine months ended January 31, 2009 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $317,000 during the nine month period ended January 31, 2008. At January 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $10,965 as compared to $375,820 at January 31, 2008.  The Company’s decline in cash is primarily attributable to operating losses and investments in film projects.

In general, cash flows resulting from the distribution of the Company’s existing film library are expected to decline over the long term. The Company is taking measures to renew expiring licenses and ensure its library is continuously distributed in all major world markets to slow down this trend. Additionally, the Company is developing new movies and seeking equity funding for these movies in order to fully implement its business planning as a movie production and distribution company.

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.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.



Disclosure Controls And Procedures

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers 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 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 31, 2009 since they do not allow for information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Specifically, we identified  material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 8A and 8A(T) in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 and those deficiencies have not yet been remediated by us. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, is responsible for evaluating any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Based on the foregoing evaluation, we have concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  We continue to have  material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 8A and 8A(T) in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 and those deficiencies have not yet been remediated by us.
