2. Operations

Since August 2001, the Company has concentrated its efforts on reducing its costs and settling numerous claims, contractual obligations, and pending litigation. By April 2002, the Company had effectively eliminated a majority of its ongoing promotions business operations and was in the process of disposing of its assets and settling its liabilities related to the promotions business and defending and pursuing litigation with respect thereto. In essence, the Company discontinued its promotions business and changed the nature of its operation to focus on its pending litigation and winding down its contracted obligations. As a result of these efforts, the Company has been able to resolve a significant number of outstanding liabilities that existed in August 2001 or arose subsequent to that date. As of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had 4 employees.

Three Lions intends to pursue the development, production, distribution and other exploitation of shows and events that are broadcast on television and other means of communications. These shows and events initially include branded awards shows that will be created to be aired on television. The Company cannot predict whether such course of action will be successful.

In addition, in April 2012, the Company began providing limited accounting and administrative services to another company controlled by the Company’s largest shareholder. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company earned $9,000 and $0, respectively, related to these services provided. The arrangement entails providing these services through an undetermined end date, including payments totaling $36,000 for the second quarter. The Company does not consider this arrangement to be part of its recurring operations.

The Company closely monitors and controls its expenditures within a reasonably predictable range. Cash used in operating activities was $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company incurred losses in 2012 and continues to incur losses in 2013 for the general and administrative expenses incurred to manage the affairs of the Company. By utilizing cash available at March 31, 2013 to maintain its scaled back operations, management believes it has sufficient capital resources and liquidity to operate the Company for at least one year.
