Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of October 31, 2009

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Kings Road Entertainment, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), have been engaged primarily in the development, financing and production of motion pictures for subsequent distribution in movie theaters, to pay-TV, network and syndicated television, on home video and in other ancillary media in the United States and all other countries and territories of the world. Incorporated in Delaware in 1980, the Company began active operations in January 1983 and released its first motion picture in 1984. The Company has theatrically released 17 additional pictures in the domestic market and released seven pictures directly to the domestic home video or pay television market.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All material inter-company activity and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 2009 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in that Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s other SEC filings. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other period.

b. Accounting Method

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

c. 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.

Film development costs are expensed or capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The amortization of film and participation costs is calculated according to the individual-film-forecast-computation method, which amortizes or accrues (expenses) such costs in the same ratio that current period actual revenue (numerator) bears to estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the current fiscal year (denominator).

The Company periodically reviews its capitalized film costs and where it determines that a property will not be used (i.e. will be disposed of) or where a date for production has not been set within 3 years from the time of the first capitalized transaction, a loss by a charge to the income statement is made where the carrying amount of the project exceeds its fair value.

 
7

 

d. Principals of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As of October 31, 2009, the Company had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Ticker, Inc., (a California corporation), which was inactive during the six month period ended October 31, 2009, The Big Easy II Film, LLC (a California limited liability corporation), which was also inactive during the six month period ended October 31, 2009 and Kings Road Entertainment Europe GmbH (a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Germany), which facilitates international co-productions.

e. 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.

f. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162)” (SFAS No. 168). This statement modifies the GAAP hierarchy by establishing only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative accounting literature. Effective July 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), also known collectively as the “Codification,” is considered the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards, except for additional authoritative rules and interpretive releases issued by the SEC. The Codification was developed to organize GAAP pronouncements by topic so that users can more easily access authoritative accounting guidance. It is organized by topic, subtopic, section, and paragraph, each of which is identified by a numerical designation. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 168 prospectively beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, resulting in no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
g. Earnings (Net Loss) Per Share

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 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.

h. Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of U.S. 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 exchange rate for the period. Unrealized 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.

NOTE 3 – CURRENT ASSETS

a. Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash on deposit at financial institutions. 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. Accounts Receivable

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 October 31, 2009, the Company had a total of $10,097 in accounts receivable. This amount had been collected by the date of this report.

NOTE 4 - 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 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 which bases the costs amortized 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. Management’s periodical review of unamortized film costs resulted in an impairment of $152,597during the three month period ending October 31, 2009. This amount comprised primarily of the impairment of one project in development where the Company decided not to renew the screenplay option.

Subject to the closing of financing for the production budgets of three films, 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 October 31, 2009 relate entirely to movies in development for theatrical release.

Regarding the Company’s released films, there are no unamortized film costs capitalized on the balance sheets.

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 represents the unamortized portion of royalty advances from distributors. The Company amortizes a royalty advance across the applicable period of each distribution agreement.  Current liabilities disclose the amount expected to be amortized during the subsequent 12 month period and the balance is disclosed as a non-current liability. As of October 31, 2009 and April 30, 2009, the Company had deferred revenue totaling $627,273 and $698,502, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the regular amortization of royalty advances but also includes amortization of $16,684 due to early termination of a distribution contract.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

a. Rent

The Company rents its registered office space at 468 N. Camden Drive in Beverly Hills, California and additional office space in Santa Monica, California. The Company also rents flexible storage space for its archives. Rent expense for the Company's offices and archive storage space was $13,689 and $13,873 during the three months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $26,484 and $25,616 during the six months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. All rental agreements may be terminated upon one month’s notice.

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 October 31, 2009, the Company had borrowed the principal sum of $103,977 ($112,822 including accrued interest) from its two largest stockholders, the Company’s Head of Production, Mr. Sven Ebeling and the Company’s President and CEO, Mr. Philip Holmes under the terms of an arrangement dated October 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”). The loans bear interest at an adjustable rate equal to 3% above the WSJ Prime Rate. The interest rate will be reset for each calendar quarter by the same measure. The term of each loan will be for a maximum of one year from the end of the month in which the loan is made. At the end of this term, the Company will either repay the loan with interest or renegotiate the loan with the lending party. The lenders may require that the Company issue shares at the value of the 90-day rolling average share price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the Pink Sheets at the lower price at the day of lending or date of renewal upon default or failure to negotiate a mutual extension. The value shall include the principal and accumulated interest. The accrued interest charge is recognized on the balance sheet together with the principal amount of the loans and the annual interest charge is expensed on the statement of operations.  As of October 31, 2009 the accumulated interest for the loans totaled $8,845.  The Company disclosed this transaction in a Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2008.  On July 22, 2009, the board unanimously resolved to extend and clarify the terms to include amounts due to stockholders for services and to provide for the conversion of those loans to equity at any time during the term of the loan at the 90 day rolling average stock price for transactions.  As the loans and accrued interest are convertible at the option of the lender, the Company has classified the stockholder loans as a current liability. Of the principal sum of $103,977 outstanding as of October 31, 2009, an amount of $90,000 plus accrued interest was re-negotiated according to the original terms on July 31, 2009 between the stockholders and the Company resulting in a 12 month extension of the loan term through to July 31, 2010.

d. Contingent Losses & Litigation

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 October 31, 2009, the Company was not involved in any litigation.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 4, 2009, the Company paid ISBC GmbH, a German limited liability company managed by Philip Holmes, President and CEO of the Company and therefore an affiliate, a flat fee amount of $5,000 as compensation for its work and expenses incurred in the successful introduction of an equity transaction which closed on July 29, 2009 (see Note 8). On October 6, 2009, the Company reimbursed to ISBC GmbH an amount of approximately $5,000 within the conditions of a Service Agreement dated December 17, 2007.

On August 14, 2009 the Company compensated Mr. Sven Ebeling an amount of approximately $5,000 for production services relating to movies in development. Mr. Ebeling is Head of Production and beneficial shareholder of approximately 40% of the Company’s common stock and therefore an affiliate.  The production services arrangement between the Company and Mr. Ebeling, respectively his production company West Coast Pictures was published in an 8-K/A on August 4, 2008. On October 2, 2009 the Company reimbursed West Coast Pictures an amount of $5,000 for production overhead.

NOTE 8 - COMMON STOCK

At October 31, 2009, the Company had 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of which 19,971,493 were issued and outstanding and 2,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.01 par value, of which no preferred shares were issued or outstanding.  At April 30, 2009, the Company had 50,000,000 authorized shares of which 19,321,493 were issued and outstanding. The following common stock transaction transpired in the six months ended October 31, 2009:

On July 26, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with a European entity (“Investor”), for the purchase of a total of 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the purchase price of $100,000. The transaction closed on July 29, 2009. The investment was based on a price per common share of approximately $0.154. This transaction was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

NOTE 9 – RECOGNITION OF REVENUES

Revenue from the sale or licensing of films is recognized in accordance generally accepted accounting principles. 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. In a given accounting period, where a timing difference results in the cash received exceeding the actual work performed, the difference between the cash flows and the recognition of revenue is recorded as deferred revenue. Conversely, where work performed exceeds the payments received then the difference is recorded as accounts receivable.

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and payment of liabilities in the normal course of business. However at October 31, 2009, the Company has limited revenues and a deficit in working capital of $685,128 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $26,928,458. 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 is in the process of raising capital through equity-based investment instruments, which is expected to provide funding for the development of future projects and operating expenses.

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

The following discussion concerns the periods ended October 31, 2009 and October 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-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009.

Results of Operations

The Three Months Ended October 31, 2009 vs. the Three Months Ended October 31, 2008
For the quarter ended October 31, 2009, operating revenues were $92,348 as compared to $128,704 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008. The decrease of $36,356 results primarily from no service production contracts in progress during the three month period ending on October 31, 2009.  Of the $92,348 revenue for the period, $38,310 was from non-recurring revenue representing a revenue adjustment by a distributor relating to prior periods.

Operating expenses amounted to $322,728 for the quarter ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $144,834 during the quarter ended October 31, 2008. This increase of approximately $178,000 is primarily due to an increase in the impairment of film development costs of approximately $153,000 due to the expiration of an option agreement and large project and consulting fees of approximately $60,000 which was partially offset by a decrease of project expenses of $16,200 and a decrease in travel and other expenses of approximately $18,800.

Interest expenses decreased to $1,762 for the quarter ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $1,834 during the quarter ended October 31, 2008. The decrease of $72 is primarily attributable to a reduction in the US Prime interest rate compared to the corresponding period. The prime rate is used to calculate the interest on shareholder loans.

The Company had a net loss of $232,121 for the quarter ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $17,964 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008. The increase in operating loss of $214,157 results primarily from the increase in the costs associated with the impairment of film assets which amounted to $152,597 and an increase in consulting fees of approximately $60,000 for the period.

The Six Months Ended October 31, 2009 vs. the Six Months Ended October 31, 2008
For the six months ended October 31, 2009, operating revenues were $156,137 as compared to $199,498 for the six months ended October 31, 2008. The decrease of $43,361 results primarily from decreased revenue from service productions amounting to $37,000 during the period. Of the $156,137 revenue for the period, $38,310 was from non-recurring revenue representing a revenue adjustment by a distributor relating to prior periods.

Costs and expenses amounted to $423,389 for the six months ended October 31, 2009 as compared to $289,419 during the six months ended October 31, 2008. This increase of approximately $134,000 is primarily due to an increase in the impairment of film development costs of approximately $153,000 and an increase in consulting fees of approximately $60,000 which was partially offset by a decrease in project expenses of $16,200, a decrease in salaries of approximately $38,000 and a decrease in travel and other expenses of approximately $25,000.

The Company had a net loss of $270,724 for the six months ended October 31, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $92,110 for the six months ended October 31, 2008. This increase in net loss of $178,614 resulted primarily from the decrease in revenues, the impairment of certain capitalized film development expenses, an increase in consulting fees partially offset by decreases in travel, professional and project expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The production of motion pictures requires substantial working capital. The Company must expend substantial sums for development as well as for the production and distribution of a picture, before that picture generates any revenues. The Company's principal source of working capital during the three months ended October 31, 2009, was motion picture distribution and licensing income. Additionally, on July 29, 2009, the Company received $100,000 from an investor for the sale of 650,000 shares of common stock. In general, cash flows resulting from the distribution of the Company’s existing film library have declined and are expected to continue 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. It is unlikely that the Company's existing distribution and licensing income will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations. For this reason, 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. The Company anticipates that its films will primarily be financed by external sources including tax and location incentives, sales made in advance to distributors and TV companies as well as the receipt of minimum guarantee payments from sales companies. External financing will likely significantly reduce the equity required to fund the balance of the production budget as well as the inherent risk in movie financing. In order to fully implement the Company’s business planning, the Company’s liquidity requirements include amounts for screenplay acquisition and development as well as the hiring of creative personnel. The Company currently estimates that it requires a total of approximately $1 million to fully implement its business plan assuming that the budgets for initial projects are financed principally from external sources.

 
12

 

At October 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $18,013 as compared to $11,416 at April 30, 2009.  The increase in the Company’s cash is primarily attributable to an equity investment of $100,000 on July 29, 2009 (refer to Note 7 of the accompanying financial statements) partially offset by operating losses.

Contractual Obligations

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.

Such director or officer  shall have the right to be paid by the Corporation for expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment  of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that he is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1 or otherwise. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 1 shall apply to or have any effect on any right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 2:

If a claim for indemnity under Section 1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the director or officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, together with interest thereon, and if successful in whole or in part, such director or officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that such director or officer has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify him for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such a defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (or of its full Board of Directors, its directors who are not parties to the Proceeding with respect to which indemnification is claimed, its stockholders, or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of an action pursuant to this Section 2 that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard  of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law nor an actual determination by any such person or persons that such director or officer has not met, such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to such action or create a presumption that such director or officer has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

KINGS ROAD ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
(A Delaware Corporation)

CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS

OVERVIEW

This Code of Conduct and Ethics sets forth the guiding principles by which we operate our company and conduct our daily business with our stockholders, customers, vendors and with each other. These principles apply to all of the directors, officers and employees of Kings Road Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries (referred to in this Code as the “Company”).

PRINCIPLES

Complying with Laws, Regulations, Policies and Procedures

All directors, officers and employees of the Company are expected to understand, respect and comply with all of the laws, regulations, policies and procedures that apply to them in their positions with the Company. Employees are responsible for talking to their supervisors to determine which laws, regulations and Company policies apply to their position and what training is necessary to understand and comply with them.

Directors, officers and employees are directed to specific policies and procedures available to persons they supervise.

Conflicts of Interest

All directors, officers and employees of the Company should be scrupulous in avoiding any action or interest that conflicts with, or gives the appearance of a conflict with, the Company’s interests. A “conflict of interest” exists whenever an individual’s private or business interests interfere or conflict in any way (or even appear to interfere or conflict) with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when a director, officer or employee or a member of his or her family receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Company, whether from a third party or from the Company. Any use of the Company’s products and services by Company employees should generally be done on an arm’s length basis and in compliance with applicable law.

All directors, officers and employees of the Company are obligated to disclose potential and actual conflicts of interest as and when they arise.  Subject to any pre-existing fiduciary duty which exists prior to the time of becoming a director, officer or employee of the Company, all directors, officers and employees of the Company are prohibited from participating in any transaction that is or may pose a conflict of interest with the Company without the prior written consent of the Company.

If a conflict of interest shall arise, our directors, officers and employees shall act in a manner expected to advance and protect the Company’s interests, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations.  Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if a question arises, an officer or employee should consult with higher levels of management, the Board of Directors or company counsel. Any employee, officer or director who becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should bring it to the attention of a supervisor, manager or other appropriate personnel.

 
1

 

None of the Company’s officers, directors, employees or affiliates shall accept any finder’s fee, consulting fee or any other compensation from any person or entity (including a target company) in connection with any business combination involving the Company other than any compensation or fees that may be received for any services provided following such business combination.

Corporate Opportunity

Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from (a) taking for themselves personally opportunities that properly belong to the Company or are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position; (b) using corporate property, information or position for personal gain; and (c) subject to pre-existing fiduciary obligations, competing with the Company; provided, however, such prohibition will not extend to potential corporate opportunities reviewed by, and rejected as unsuitable for the Company by, the independent members of the Board.  Directors, officers and employees owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.

Confidentiality

Directors, officers and employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or its suppliers or customers, except when disclosure is specifically authorized by the Board of Directors or required by laws, regulations or legal proceedings. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be material to investors or of use to competitors of the Company or harmful to the Company or its customers or employees if disclosed.

Fair Dealing

We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly. We seek competitive advantages through superior performance, never through unethical or illegal business practices. Stealing proprietary information, possessing or utilizing trade secret information that was obtained without the owner’s consent or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited.

Each director, officer and employee is expected to deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors, officers and employees. No one should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair dealing.

Protection and Proper Use of the Company Assets

All directors, officers and employees should protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. All Company assets should be used only for legitimate business purposes.

Public Company Reporting

As a public company, it is of critical importance that the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission be accurate and timely and not contain any known material misrepresentation or omission.  Depending on their position with the Company, an employee, officer or director may be called upon to provide necessary information to assure that the Company’s public reports are complete, fair and understandable. The Company expects employees, officers and directors to take this responsibility very seriously and to provide prompt accurate answers to inquiries related to the Company’s public disclosure requirements.

 
2

 

Inside Information and Securities Trading

The Company’s directors, officers or employees who have access to material, non-public information are not permitted to use that information for stock trading purposes or for any purpose unrelated to the Company's business. It is also against the law to trade or to "tip" others who might make an investment decision based on inside company information. For example, using non-public information to buy or sell the Company stock, options in the Company stock or the stock of any Company supplier, customer or competitor is prohibited. The consequences of insider trading violations can be severe. These rules also apply to the use of material, nonpublic information about other companies (including, for example, our customers, competitors and potential business partners). In addition to employees, these rules apply to an employee's spouse, children, parents and siblings, as well as any other family members living in the employee's home.

Financial Statements and Other Records

All of the Company’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company’s transactions and must conform to both applicable legal requirements and to the Company’s system of internal controls. Unrecorded or “off the books” funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation.

Records should always be retained or destroyed according to the Company’s record retention policies. In accordance with those policies, in the event of litigation or governmental investigation, please consult the Board of Directors.

Improper Influence on Conduct of Audits

 No director or officer, or any other person acting under the direction thereof, shall directly or indirectly take any action to coerce, manipulate, mislead or fraudulently influence any public or certified public accountant engaged in the performance of an audit or review of the financial statements of the Company if that person knows or should know that such action, if successful, could result in rendering the Company's financial statements materially misleading. Any person who believes such improper influence is being exerted should report such action to such person’s supervisor, or if that is impractical under the circumstances, to any of our directors.

Types of conduct that could constitute improper influence include, but are not limited to, directly or indirectly:

 
·
Offering or paying bribes or other financial incentives, including future employment or contracts for non-audit services;
 
·
Providing an auditor with an inaccurate or misleading legal analysis;
 
·
Threatening to cancel or canceling existing non-audit or audit engagements if the auditor objects to the Company’s accounting;
 
·
Seeking to have a partner removed from the audit engagement because the partner objects to the Company’s accounting;
 
·
Blackmailing; and
 
·
Making physical threats.

 
3

 

Anti-Corruption Laws

The Company complies with the anti-corruption laws of the countries in which it does business, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Directors, officers and employees will not directly or indirectly give anything of value to government officials, including employees of state-owned enterprises or foreign political candidates. These requirements apply both to Company employees and agents, such as third party sales representatives, no matter where they are doing business. If you are authorized to engage agents, you are responsible for ensuring they are reputable and for obtaining a written agreement to uphold the Company’s standards in this area.

REPORTING ILLEGAL OR UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR

Reporting Illegal or Unethical Behavior

Employees, officers and directors who suspect or know of violations of this Code or illegal or unethical business or workplace conduct by employees, officers or directors have an obligation to contact either their supervisor or superiors. If the individuals to whom such information is conveyed are not responsive, or if there is reason to believe that reporting to such individuals is inappropriate in particular cases, then the employee, officer or director may contact the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company. Such communications will be kept confidential to the extent feasible. If the employee is still not satisfied with the response, the employee may contact the chairman of the Board of Directors or any of the Company’s outside directors.

Accounting Complaints

The Company’s policy is to comply with all applicable financial reporting and accounting regulations. If any director, officer or employee of the Company has unresolved concerns or complaints regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters of the Company, then he or she is encouraged to submit those concerns or complaints (anonymously, confidentially or otherwise) to the Company’s Audit Committee and/or Board of Directors. Subject to their legal duties, the Audit Committee and/or the Board of Directors will treat such submissions confidentially.
 
Non-Retaliation

The Company prohibits retaliation of any kind against individuals who have made good faith reports or complaints of violations of this Code or other known or suspected illegal or unethical conduct.

Amendment, Modification and Waiver

This code may be amended or modified by the Board of Directors of the Company. Only the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors with specific delegated authority may grant waivers of this Code of Conduct and Ethics. Waivers will be disclosed to stockholders as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder and the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed or quoted.

Violations

Violation of this Code of Conduct and Ethics is grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Such action is in addition to any civil or criminal liability which might be imposed by any court or regulatory agency.
