CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS




This fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” contains “forward-looking statements” that include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of resources.  These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new products or services; our statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of management’s goals and objectives; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.  Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.




Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to:




·
our inability to raise additional funds to support operations and capital expenditures;




·
our inability to achieve greater and broader market acceptance of our products and services in existing and new market segments;




·
our inability to successfully compete against existing and future competitors;




·
our inability to manage and maintain the growth of our business;




·
our inability to protect our intellectual property rights; and




·
other factors discussed under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.”




Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.  If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Item 1.  Description of Business





(a) Background





We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 10, 2003.  From the date of incorporation through December 2007 the sole component of our business plan called for the producing and co-financing of motion pictures whose production budgets are estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, produced solely for distribution to the domestic and international home video markets.





As a result of not being able to raise the necessary funds to either co-finance or produce any motion pictures, management changed the Company’s business plan to that of producing and distributing self- improvement/educational DVDs and workforce training programs. The major reason for this decision was that the funds needed to produce or acquire self- improvement/educational DVDs and workforce training programs is substantially less than required for the production of motion pictures. During the next 12 months we will be seeking to produce, or acquire another one or two “self-improvement/educational” DVDs, and to expand our library of training programs.





Effective January 1, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, we acquired from Progressive Training, Inc. all of its assets and liabilities related to Progressive’s workforce training business.  Among the assets we acquired in the transaction described above are fourteen training video programs including: Twelve Angry Men: Teams That Don't Quit.  The video is based on the classic film starring Henry Fonda and utilizes 12 minutes of clips from the film, The Cuban Missile Crisis: A Case Study in Decision Making and Its Consequences.  This video is based on the decision making process of President Kennedy and his Cabinet during the Cuban missile crisis, It’s a Wonderful Life: Leading Through Service, features film clips from the classic motion picture It’s a Wonderful Life,starring Jimmy Stewart, along with on-camera commentary by Dr. Wheatley, How Do You Put A Giraffe Into A Refrigerator?  an animated short that is used as a meeting opener to stimulate the thinking of the participants, Character in Action: The United States Coast Guard on Leadership.This video demonstrates the highest qualities of leadership, and how to apply them, using the example of the United States Coast Guard.  Additionally, we acquired the best-selling and critically acclaimed training video entitled Work Teams and The Wizard of Oz.





In addition to the assets listed above, we acquired a website, www.advancedknowledge.com for the online sale and marketing of our products. We market and sell all our training programs and self-improvement DVDs under the Company’s dba Advanced Knowledge.  See COMPANY HISTORY page 11.





(b) Description of Business





As stated earlier, our initial business plan called for the co-financing or producing of motion pictures whose production budgets are estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, produced solely for distribution to the domestic and international home video markets. As a result of not being able to raise the necessary funds to either co-finance or produce any motion pictures, management altered the Company’s business plan to that of producing and distributing self- improvement/educational DVDs and workforce training programs. During the next 12 months we will be seeking to produce, or acquire another one or two “self-improvement/educational” DVDs, and to expand our library of workforce training programs.

WORKFORCE TRAINING INDUSTRY OVERVIEW




General




Except where specifically indicated, the following industry views and analysis are based on management's interpretations and beliefs resulting from their experience in the production, sales and marketing of workforce training videos, and their attendance at industry events such as the annual American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) meeting where industry trends are discussed.





According to the Annual Industry Report published by Nielsen Business Media in its November/December 2010 issue of its industry publication, TRAINING MAGAZINE:




·
Approximately $52.8 billion was spent for training in 2010 by U.S. organizations with 100 or more employees. This compares to approximately $56.2 billion total industry spending in 2009.  These figures were calculated by projecting the average training budget to a weighted universe of companies, using the Dun & Bradstreet counts of U.S. organizations with more than 100 employees.




·
$6.9 billion of that $52.8 billion was spent on outside providers of products and services in 2010. This compares to $7.0 billion in 2009. These products and services include "off-the-shelf" materials (our videos and work books are included in this category). Management feels that the decline in expenditures for outside products and services is a result of general economic conditions causing corporations to reduce their training expenditures by less use of outside consultants, and more utilization of in-house developed training materials.




"Soft-Skill" training and Information Technology training represent the industry's two major distinct sources of revenue. Soft-Skill training includes management skills/development, supervisory skills, communication skills, new methods and procedures, customer relations/services, clerical/secretarial skills, personal growth, employee/labor relations, and sales. Information Technology training includes client/server systems, internet/intranet technologies, computer networks, operating systems, databases, programming languages, graphical user interfaces, object-oriented technology and information technology management.




Training Video Production





The process of producing training videos is comprised of three stages. They are: (a) pre-production, (b) principal photography, and (c) post production.  Budgets for the production of these programs can vary widely as there are a number of factors that contribute to the production budget. Included among these factors are the number of locations and sets, the size of the cast and crew, the amount paid to the on-camera host, and the quality of the post production process.  In many cases production budgets range from a low of $50,000 to a high of $150,000.




Approximately 25% to 30% of our revenue is derived from the sale of training videos produced by other companies. Many of these videos are produced by producer/distributors that have the financial resources to produce several videos each year. These producer/distributors then enter into non-exclusive sub-distribution agreements with other industry distributors to market and sell these videos. Additionally, there are many independent producers who produce one or two videos a year. These independent producers then enter into distribution agreements for the marketing and sale of their videos. Such agreements are usually on a royalty basis, and may include an advance against royalties.






6






The Soft Skill Training Market




There are over thirty different specific soft-skill training subjects utilized by organizations to increase employee productivity and awareness. Among the top ten subjects are: new-employee orientation, leadership, sexual harassment, new-equipment orientation, performance appraisals, team-building, safety, problem-solving/decision-making, train-the-trainer, and product knowledge.




We have produced and are marketing training videos that address a number of the above mentioned soft-skill categories. These videos address such categories as leadership, team-building, and problem solving/decision-making. These three categories match the focus of the videos in our current library.





Although many organizations continue to maintain in-house training departments, outside suppliers represent a significant portion of the training budget. TRAINING MAGAZINE reported in its recent industry report that training delivered by outside sources represented approximately 13% of the total dollars spent on training.





The Information Technology Market




To date, we have not produced any training products for the information technology market. Nor do we anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. However, since we do market such products produced by others, we felt it appropriate to include a discussion of this sector.




The Annual Industry Report additionally revealed that of all formal training in U.S. organizations with ten or more employees, approximately 40% of that formal training is devoted to teaching computer skills. Management believes that the market for Information Technology will continue to be driven by technological change, and that the increasing demand for training information technology professionals is a result of several key factors, including:




·
the proliferation of computers and networks throughout all levels of organizations;




·
the shift from mainframe systems to new client/server technologies;




·
the continuous introduction and evolution of new client/server hardware and software technologies;




·
the proliferation of internet and intranet applications; and




·
corporate downsizing.




It is our belief that these foregoing factors have resulted in an increase in training requirements for employees who must perform new job functions or multiple job tasks that require knowledge of varied software applications, technologies, business specific information, and other training topics. Furthermore, since we believe that many businesses use hardware and software products provided by a variety of vendors, their information technology professionals require training on an increasing number of products and technologies which apply across vendors, platforms and operating systems.


7




Products and Services




During fiscal 2011 we devoted our limited resources to the distribution of workforce training videos. Due to the significant amount of cash required to produce new training videos, ($50,000 to $150,000), we did not produce any new training products during fiscal 2011.




Accompanying each of the videos is a workbook that is designed to be given to all employees participating in the training program. These workbooks are written for us by training professionals and serve to reinforce and enhance the lasting effectiveness of the video.




Training videos typically have a running time of 20 to 35 minutes. The price range for training videos is from a low of $295 to over $895 per video. Except for our video entitled HOW DO YOU PUT A GIRAFFE INTO A REFRIGERATOR?, which is used as a short 3 minute meeting opener, the videos we acquired fall within the 25 to 35 minute running time range and are sold within the price range mentioned above. The wide variance in the pricing structure is due to such factors as quality of production, on-camera personalities, source of material, sophistication of graphics, and accompanying reference materials. To date, our strategy has been to concentrate on producing high caliber videos utilizing elements and production values that will generate sales at the higher end of the price range, where profit margins are greater.




The price differential between a corporate training video and a standard consumer video is justified by the fact that an organization will purchase a video and utilize it to train hundreds of employees over many years.




Sales and Marketing




As stated earlier, the Company's business is conducted under the dba Advanced Knowledge. Accordingly, all of our marketing and sales materials incorporate the Advance Knowledge name and logo. In most cases, the sale of management and general workforce training videos involve direct mail solicitation, preview request fulfillment, and telemarketing. We begin our sales effort by identifying prospective buyers and soliciting them through direct mail appeals that offer the recipient a free preview. In addition, we market and distribute our work force training videos via our web site at www.advancedknowledge.com. During the past year there has been a significant increase within the training industry on the utilization of the internet to both market and deliver training products.





Preview request fulfillment represents a major part of our sales plan. It has been our experience that most professional trainers will not purchase a training video until they have previewed it in its entirety, affording them an opportunity to evaluate the video's applicability to their specific objective and to judge its effectiveness as a training tool. Rather than shipping preview copies, most customers now preview videos on-line. Within a short period of time following the preview request, a representative will call the prospective buyer to obtain their comments and to ascertain their level of interest.





Telemarketing





We manage our telemarketing efforts by utilizing part-time staff or free-lance telephone representatives who focus primarily on following up on leads that have been generated through our website. Before calling potential customers our telemarketers are provided with information on a customer's buying history and past needs.






8







DIRECT MAIL





As a result of our clients’ preference for receiving product information on-line, along with the cost saving, we have almost completely abandoned the use of direct mail solicitation.





COMPANY WEBSITE




Our experience during the past few years has been that increasingly corporate training managers and others responsible for the purchase of training videos are utilizing the internet to research and make their purchases. As a result, we anticipate spending available funds to upgrade our website’s functionality by improving its overall design, and by adding additional features, such as the ability to preview videos online, broaden the website's database to include more content information on most videos, increase the website's search capabilities, and to generally make the website more user friendly.




Additionally, in an effort to increase traffic to our website, we have paid both Google and Yahoo for better placement on their search engines. We intend to continue to pay these search engines for prime placement, as our financial resources permit.




COMPETITION




The workforce training industry is highly fragmented, with low barriers to entry and no single competitor accounting for a dominant market share. Among our competitors are companies such as Media Partners Corp., the LearnCom Corporation, Coastal Training Technologies, and CRM Learning. Many of our competitors have a competitive edge, as demonstrated by the fact that these companies were able to spend significantly more money for the production, and marketing of new videos. Additionally, we compete with the internal training departments of companies and other independent education and training companies.




INTERNAL TRAINING DEPARTMENTS




We have learned that internal training departments generally provide companies with the most control over the method and content of training, enabling them to tailor the training to their specific needs. However, because internal trainers in many cases find it difficult to keep pace with new training concepts and technologies and lack the capacity to meet demand, organizations supplement their internal training resources with externally supplied training in order to meet their requirements.





Independent Training Providers




Our experience has revealed that independent training providers range in size and include publishers of texts, training manuals and newsletters, as well as providers of videos, software packages, training programs, and seminars.




As a result of the need for external training products and services, many large corporations have entered the field by establishing corporate training divisions. Among the larger competitors are: Times Mirror Corporation; Sylvan Learning Systems, Inc.; Berkshire Hathaway; and Harcourt General. Additional competitors currently producing training products include Blanchard Training & Development, Career Track, American Media, Pfeiffer & Company, CRM Films, Charthouse International, and Learning Works. In all cases, the companies listed above have established credibility within the training industry and, compared to us, have substantially greater name recognition and greater financial, technical, sales, marketing, and managerial resources.






9







The workforce training market is characterized by significant price competition, and we expect to face increasing price pressures from competitors as company training managers demand more value for their training budgets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to provide products that compare favorably with workforce instructor-led training techniques, interactive training software or other video programs, or that competitive pressures will not require us to reduce our prices significantly.





“EDUCATIONAL/SELF-IMPROVEMENT” DVD PRODUCTION





The process of producing “Self-improvement” DVDs is comprised of the same stages of production as outlined above for the production of training videos. They are: (a) pre production, (b) principal photography, and (c) post production.  We anticipate that the budgets for the production of these DVDs will range between $50,000 and $100,000.





The Self Improvement Market





Products and services within the industry are mainly comprised of: books, audiotapes, CDs, DVDs, seminars and workshops, infomercials, catalogs, and lectures. Among the topics covered by these products are: inspirational/motivational, losing weight, leadership, sales skills, improving relationships, gaining financial independence/money making opportunities, exercise programs or equipment, stress management, memory improvement, and speed reading.





According to Marketdata’s report the self-improvement market is largely comprised of female customers, especially for programs related to relationships, weight loss, exercise, spirituality and Far Eastern topics. Seventy percent of self-improvement book buyers and seminar participants are women. For men, the market is concentrated primarily on business and organizational skills improvement, and money making opportunities like real estate investment or stock trading systems. Programs related to stress management and relaxation techniques are more broad-based, applicable to both sexes.A substantial share of our customers is located on the two coasts of the United States. California is especially receptive to“new age” topics, Far Eastern disciplines, holistic and alternative health care.





Customers




We market the“The 5 Communication Secrets That Swept Obama To The Presidency,” DVD, and will market any future self-improvement/educational DVDs that we may produce through several distribution channels to individuals seeking to improve their professional skills and personal qualities, educational institutions, i.e. libraries and universities for teaching purposes, and to organizations for employee training. Our current distribution channels are comprised of a network of both domestic and international distributors.




Product




Given our current inability to raise sufficient funds to initiate the co-financing or production of low budget motion pictures, our product during the next twelve months will be limited to self-improvement/educational DVDs. In an attempt to enhance the product’s revenue potential we created a “Personal Version” and “Business Version” of “The 5 Communication Secrets That Swept Obama To The Presidency,” DVD. The “Personal Version,” consisting of the DVD and Workbook is marketed to individuals and to libraries and schools. The “Business Version,” consisting of the DVD, Facilitator’s Guide, Participant Workbook, Power Point presentation, and Reminder Cards is marketed to organizations for employee training. We anticipate following this formula for any future DVDs we produce.

Sales and Distribution




US Sales and Distribution




We sell the “Personal” version of “The 5 Communication Secrets That Swept Obama To The Presidency,”under a distribution agreement with Gaiam, Inc., a leading lifestyle media company. Gaiam places product in a variety of retailers, including bookstores such as Barnes & Noble and Borders; media stores such as Best Buy and Blockbuster; and mass merchant stores such as WalMart and Target. Additionally, the DVD is being sold to libraries and learning institutions under a distribution agreement with Films For The Humanities, a distribution company specializing in marketing and sales to the educational market.




The “Business Edition” version is being marketed via a network of both domestic and international distributors specializing in the sales of employee training products. Among the domestic distributors selling the DVD are, Workplace Publishing, Advanced Knowledge, and Learncom. We have agreements with a number of international distributors for the sale and marketing of “The 5 Communication Secrets That Swept Obama To The Presidency,” DVD, in countries including Canada, Mexico, Israel, India, South Africa, England and Hong Kong.




Competition




Both the educational/self-improvement and the motion picture industries are comprised of numerous large, mid-sized, and small independent production companies. Many of these companies have access to vast financial resources. Additionally, they have established long standing relationships with talent and distribution outlets throughout the world.





Some of the companies in the these industries have been operating since the 1930s, while others have just recently become popular by virtue of a high grossing motion picture or best- selling book/DVD.





Company History





As stated above, we were incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 10, 2003.  From the date of incorporation through December 2007 the sole component of our business plan called for the producing and co-financing of motion pictures whose production budgets are estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, produced solely for distribution to the domestic and international home video markets.




As a result of not being able to raise the necessary funds to either co-finance or produce any motion pictures, management changed the Company’s business plan to that of producing and distributing self- improvement/educational DVDs and workforce training programs. The major reasons for this decision was that the funds needed to produce or acquire self- improvement/educational DVDs and workforce training programs are substantially less than required for the production of motion pictures. Additionally, our management has years of experience in the production and distribution of this type of product.






11





In November 2008, the Company commenced the production of a 47 minute “self-improvement/educational” DVD entitled, “The 5 Communication Secrets That Swept Obama to the Presidency.” The DVD uses video examples of President Barack Obama’s most memorable speeches to illustrate five essential secrets of effective public and personal communication.  International communication analyst and coach Richard Greene hosts the DVD and instructs in the system of communication techniques he created. The DVD was completed in February 2009, and is being sold and marketed to individuals via the internet and through distributors specializing in the sale of product to the educational market, i.e. libraries, universities etc. Additionally, the Company created a “Business Edition” version of the DVD. This version includes the 47 minute DVD, along with a Leader Guide, Participant workbook, and Power Point presentation. It is being marketed both domestically and internationally by distributors to organizations for the training of their personnel in communication skills.





Effective January 1, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, we acquired from Progressive Training, Inc. all of its assets and liabilities related to Progressive’s workforce training business.  Among the assets we acquired in the transaction described above are fourteen training video programs including: Twelve Angry Men: Teams That Don't Quit.  The video is based on the classic film starring Henry Fonda and utilizes 12 minutes of clips from the film, The Cuban Missile Crisis: A Case Study in Decision Making and Its Consequences.  This video is based on the decision making process of President Kennedy and his Cabinet during the Cuban missile crisis, It’s a Wonderful Life: Leading Through Service, features film clips from the classic motion picture It’s a Wonderful Life,starring Jimmy Stewart, along with on-camera commentary by Dr. Wheatley, How Do You Put A Giraffe Into A Refrigerator?  an animated short that is used as a meeting opener to stimulate the thinking of the participants, Character in Action: The United States Coast Guard on Leadership.This video demonstrates the highest qualities of leadership, and how to apply them, using the example of the United States Coast Guard.  Additionally, we acquired the best-selling and critically acclaimed training video entitled Work Teams and The Wizard of Oz.





In addition to the assets listed above, we acquired a website, www.advancedknowledge.com for the online sale and marketing of our products. We market and sell all our training programs and self-improvement DVDs under the Company’s dba Advanced Knowledge.





Since the acquisition mentioned above we have worked to expand both our domestic and foreign distributor network. We have succeeded in establishing non-exclusive distribution agreements with a number of additional distributors to market and sell our product.  In many instances, we have mutual non-exclusive distribution agreements to market/distribute their products.

Not applicable.





Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation




You should read this section together with our financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. In addition to the historical information contained herein, this report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information but relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. Certain statements contained in this Form 10, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "are of the opinion that" and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements." You should not place any undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.




You should be aware that our results from operations could materially be effected by a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to the following: economic and business conditions specific to the motion picture, television, and home video industries; competition from other producers of home video content; and television documentaries, our ability to control costs and expenses, access to capital, and our ability to meet contractual obligations. There may be other factors not mentioned above or included elsewhere in this report that may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking information.





CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified two accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management's most difficult, subjective judgment.





Going Concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal  course of  business.  The Company's current financial resources are not considered adequate to fund its planned operations.  This condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.





The Company's continuation as a going concern currently is dependent upon  timely  procuring  significant  external  debt  and/or  equity financing  to  fund  its  immediate  and  near-term  operations,  and subsequently realizing  operating  cash  flows  from sales of its film products  sufficient to sustain its  longer-term  operations and growth initiatives During the next 12 months the Company will be seeking to produce, or acquire another one or two “self-improvement/educational” DVDs, and to expand their library of workforce training programs.

Non-Cash Equity Issuances. We periodically issue shares of our common stock in exchange for, or in settlement of, services. Our management values the shares issued in such transactions at either the then market value of our common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors and after taking into consideration factors such as the volume of shares issued or trading restrictions, or the value of the services received, whichever is more readily determinable.





General





In November 2008, the Company commenced production on a 47 minute “self-improvement” DVD entitled, “The 5 Secrets of Communication That Swept Obama to the Presidency.”





The DVD uses video examples of President Barack Obama’s most memorable speeches to illustrate five essential secrets of effective public and personal communication.  International communication analyst and coach Richard Greene hosts the DVD and instructs in the system of communication techniques he created. The DVD was completed in February 2009, and is being sold via the internet and through distributors specializing in the sale of product to the educational market, i.e. libraries, universities etc., and to organizations for employee training.





Effective January 1, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, we acquired from Progressive Training, Inc. all its assets and liabilities related to Progressive’s workforce training business.  (See Company History Page 11)





Revenues





Our revenues for the year ended February 28, 2011 were $34,885. Revenues for the year ended February 28, 2010 were $13,108. These revenues were a result of the sales of “The 5 Communication Secrets That Swept Obama to the Presidency” DVD.




The cost of revenues during the year ended February 28, 2011 was $128. The cost of revenues during the year ended February 28, 2010 was $2,331.





Expenses





General and Administrative





To date, our expenses have consisted mainly of selling, general and administrative expenses.  The main components being compensation to the Company’s President, Buddy Young- in the amount of $41,600, of which $41,600 Mr. Young has waived reimbursement and the amount has been applied to additional paid-in capital, professional services.  During the year ended February 28, 2011, we incurred a total of $73,252 selling, general and administrative expenses, compared to a total of $79,265 during the year ended February 28, 2010. This represents a decrease of $6,013.  This decrease is mainly the result of decreases in our professional fees of $2,632 offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses related to the acquisition of our subsidiary.






15





Interest Expense





We incurred $7,274 and $5,518 in interest expense during the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The interest incurred in the current year consists of interest accrued on both the loan from Buddy Young, as well as interest accrued on the credit card that was acquired from Progressive Training as part of the Asset Purchase agreement (see Note 4). The interest incurred in the prior year was entirely related to the interest charges we incur on our loan from Buddy Young.





Plan of Operation





During the past twelve months we concentrated our efforts on expanding our domestic and international distribution network to handle the sales and marketing of “The Five Secrets of Communication That Swept Obama to the Presidency,” as well as any future self-improvement/educational programs that we produce or acquire. Additionally, in accordance with management’s decision to alter the Company’s business plan, we acquired a library of general workforce/management training programs from Progressive Training, (see Company History page 11).





We anticipate that during the next 12 months our efforts will consist of: (a) raising funds through a private placement sale of equity, to be used for the purpose of adding to our library of programs, (b) improve the functionality and visibility of our website advancedknowledge.com,  (c) increase revenue by hiring additional commissioned sales personnel and expand our sub-distributor network, and (d) maximize the product potential of the training programs we recently acquired from Progressive Training by creating new marketing materials.





During fiscal 2011, “The Five Secrets of Communication That Swept Obama to the Presidency,”has generated $18,573 in revenue. We anticipate that cash resulting from the further sales and licensing of “The Five Communication Secrets That Swept Obama to the Presidency,”along with the revenue generated from the sale of our recently acquired programs and the funds provided to us by our president and principal shareholder, under a promissory note dated February 16, 2005, as amended, will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements to continue our efforts through February 2012.





If during the next twelve months our revenue is insufficient to continue operations, and we are unable to raise funds through the sale of additional equity, or from traditional borrowing sources, we may be required to scale back our planned operations, or be forced to totally abandon our business plan and seek other business opportunities in a related or unrelated industry. Such opportunities may include a reverse merger with a privately held company. The result of which could cause the existing shareholders to be severely diluted.





Employees





Due to our very limited financial resources, the Company’s President, Buddy Young, along with Joseph Adelman, and Mel Powell, our Director of acquisitions, work on a part-time basis. We have one part-time employee and one commissioned sales person.  Additionally, we regularly utilize the services of independent firms to handle our accounting and certain administrative matters. If and when our capital resource permits, we will hire full-time professional and administrative employees.





16


Liquidity and Capital Resources





We had a cash balance of $9,683 on February 28, 2011. Until January 1, 2011, other than funds received from the sale of “The Five Communication Secrets That Swept Obama to the Presidency,” our only other known cash resource comes from an agreement with our President and majority shareholder to fund any shortfall in cash flow up to $100,000 at 8% interest through December 31, 2011.  As of February 28, 2011 the principle balance owed on this agreement is $72,754, and the related accrued interest is $11,382. Payment of principal and interest is due on this loan on June 30, 2012.





We believe that revenue derived from the sale of the above mentioned DVD, and the newly acquired programs, along with further borrowings from our President will be sufficient to satisfy our budgeted cash requirement throughFebruary 28, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM








To the Board of Directors and Stockholders


of Futura Pictures, Inc.:





We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Futura Pictures, Inc. (a development stage company; the “Company”) as of February 28, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.





We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company determined that it was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount s and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at February 28, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.





The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s current financial resources are not considered adequate to fund its planned operations. This condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding this matter is described in Notes 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1               SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Organization and Nature of Business





Futura Pictures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 10, 2003.  The Company was formed to engage in the production and the co-financing of films, documentaries and similar products produced solely for the distribution directly to the domestic and international home video markets.





Effective January 1, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Company acquired from Progressive Training, Inc. all its assets and liabilities related to Progressive’s workforce training business.  Among the assets the Company acquired in the transaction described above are fourteen training video programs including: Twelve Angry Men: Teams That Don't Quit.  The video, is based on the classic film starring Henry Fonda, and utilizes 12 minutes of clips from the film, The Cuban Missile Crisis: A Case Study in Decision Making and Its Consequences.  This video is based on the decision making process of President Kennedy and his Cabinet during the Cuban missile crisis, It’s a Wonderful Life: Leading Through Service, features film clips from the classic motion picture It’s a Wonderful Life,starring Jimmy Stewart, along with on-camera commentary by Dr. Wheatley, How Do You Put A Giraffe Into A Refrigerator?  an animated short that is used as a meeting opener to stimulate the thinking of the participants,  Character in Action: The United States Coast Guard on Leadership.This video demonstrates the highest qualities of leadership, and how to apply them, using the example of the United States Coast Guard.  Additionally, the Company acquired the best-selling and critically acclaimed training video entitled Work Teams and The Wizard of Oz.





Unclassified Balance Sheet





As required by ASC Topic 926, the Company has elected to present an unclassified balance sheet.





Use of Estimates





The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s historical results as well as management’s future expectations.  The Company’s actual results could vary materially from management’s estimates and assumptions.





25


Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments





The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at February 28, 2011 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet.  The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.





Revenue Recognition





Sales are recognized upon shipment of videos to the customer or upon website download by the customer. The Company's products may not be returned by the customer. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for returns.





Cash and Cash Equivalents





For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.





Prepaid Expenses





The Company amortizes its prepaid expenses on a straight-line basis over the period during which it will receive the underlying services.





Production Costs





The Company expenses production costs as incurred when the costs are related to videos where there is no historical revenue to aid the Company in accurately forecasting revenues to be earned on the related videos.





Value of Stock Issued for Services





The Company periodically issues shares of its common stock in exchange for, or in settlement of, services.  The Company’s management values the shares issued in such transactions at either the then market price of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors and after taking into consideration factors such as volume of shares issued or trading restrictions, or the value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable.





26


Net Income (Loss) Per Share





The Company adopted ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share”,that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.  Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  In accordance with ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share”,any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded.  The Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding at February 28, 2011.





Income Taxes





Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in ASC No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.





Recent Pronouncements





There are no recently issued accounting standards with pending adoptions that the Company’s management currently anticipates will have any material impact upon its financial statements.





NOTE 2
SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS





The Company has incurred significant losses over recent years and currently has a working capital deficit of approximately $160,000. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company's current financial resources are not considered adequate to fund its planned operations.  This condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.







27




The Company's continuation as a going concern currently is dependent upon timely procuring significant external debt and/or equity financing to fund its immediate and near-term  operations, and subsequently realizing operating cash flows from sales of its film products sufficient to sustain its longer-term operations and growth initiatives.  During the next 12 months the Company will be seeking to produce, or acquire another one or two “self-improvement/educational” DVDs, and to expand their library of workforce training programs.





NOTE 3               UNEARNED REVENUE





On August 12, 2009, the Company signed an agreement with Gaiam America, licensing them the distribution rights to "The Five Secrets of Communication That Swept Obama to the Presidency." Under the terms of the agreement, Gaiam America will distribute the DVD throughout the world to the non-educational market. Further, pursuant to the agreement the Company received the $15,000 advance on September 14, 2009. Sales of the DVD under the Gaiam America distribution agreement commenced during the last quarter of fiscal 2010 and the Company recorded $410 of income as of December 31, 2010.





NOTE 4               RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION





Acquisition of Progressive Training





Effective January 1, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Company acquired from Progressive Training, Inc. all its assets and liabilities related to Progressive’s workforce training business.  Included in the acquisition were cash accounts of $4,214, accounts receivable of $1,027, a separate receivable in the amount of $2,000, rental deposit of $900, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $31,656 and a line of credit with a balance due of $39,421.  The amounts were recorded at book value.





Prepaid Loan Commitment





On February 16, 2005, the Company’s President, Buddy Young, accepted an unsecured promissory note from the Company and agreed to lend up to $100,000 to the Company to fund any cash shortfalls through December 31, 2011.  The note bears interest at 8% and is due upon demand, no later than June 30, 2012.  The outstanding balance was $72,754 as of February 28, 2011.





NOTE 7               STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT





For the years ended February 28, 2011 and, 2010, the Company’s President devoted time to the development process of the Company.  Compensation expense totaling $41,600 has been recorded in each year.  The President has waived reimbursement of $41,600 during each of the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and, accordingly, the amounts have been recorded as a contribution to capital.








28








NOTE 8               INCOME TAXES





Deferred Tax Components





Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows at February 28, 2011:





Net operating loss carry-forward

(700
)Balance, February 28, 2011

$
37,000





In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.





Net Operating Loss





The Company has approximately $160,000 net operating loss carry-forwards, which expire in various years through 2031.





Examination





The Company’s tax returns are open to examination for the year ended February 29, 2008 and forward.

Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures





DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES




We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of February 28, 2011 (the "Evaluation Date"). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Buddy Young, who serves as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Young concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.




Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.




The Company is managed and operated on a daily basis by Buddy Young, who acts as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. We have no segregation of duties and Mr. Young has no background in SEC reporting and disclosure requirements. We engage an outside consultant to assist us in preparing our filings with the SEC but acknowledge that although this improves our reporting and disclosure, it does not cure this material weakness. Once operations increase and generate sufficient cash flows, we plan on developing processes and procedures to improve our controls and procedures.




Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there was a material weakness as identified above, for our year ended February 28, 2011, we believe that our financial statements contained in this report our the year ended February 28, 2011 accurately present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.




CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING




As of the Evaluation Date, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended February 28, 2011 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.




30




LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES




Our management, including Buddy Young our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our controls and procedures will prevent all potential errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
