MEDIA SENTIMENT, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2010
Note 1. Description of Business
Media Sentiment Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on October 16, 2006, under the laws of the State of Nevada, as a wholly owned subsidiary of California News Tech (CNT) to market the internet search tools developed by CNT. At this time, most of the assets of CNT were transferred to the Company.
On May 17, 2007, CNT completed a reverse merger with Debut Broadcasting Corporation, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (DBI) whereby it succeeded to the business of DBI and it changed its name to Debut Broadcasting Corporation, Inc. In anticipation of this merger, however, it was determined that the two business operations would be better served if operated and accounted for separately. Consequently, DBI’s board of directors approved the distribution of all of its Media Sentiment shares to the CNT shareholders of record on April 20, 2007 on a pro-rata basis. DBI then set aside all of its 3,640,440 outstanding shares of Media Sentiment for this purpose.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Development Stage Company
The Company is considered to be a development stage company. A development stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there have been no significant revenues there from. The Company has transitioned to development stage as of October 1, 2009.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could affect future operating results.

Equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. The straight-line method of depreciation is also used for income tax purposes.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its equipment, product and website development costs and recognizes the impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds net realizable value. The Company evaluates asset recoverability at each balance sheet date or when an event occurs that may impair recoverability of the asset.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes net revenue when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by:
·
|
an agreement with the customer;
|
·
|
delivery to and acceptance of the product by the customer has occurred;
|
·
|
the amount of the fees to be paid by the customer are fixed or determinable; and
|
·
|
collection of these fees is probable.
|
If an acceptance period is contractually provided, license revenues are recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of that period. In instances where delivery is electronic and all other criteria for revenue recognition have been achieved, the product is considered to have been delivered when the customer is provided the access code to download the software from the Internet.
Because of possible price fluctuations or technology obsolescence, subscription revenue will be deferred and recorded on a monthly basis as earned. Delivery, selling or other costs billed to the customers is included in net revenue and the related delivery, selling or other costs is included in the cost of selling subscriptions.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is customer deposits for unearned subscriptions.
Product Development
Where there is reasonable assurance of recovery, development costs are capitalized. Capitalization of costs ceases when the product is available for general release to customers. Annual amortization of capitalized costs is the greater of amortization computed using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product or computed using the ratio of the product’s current and anticipated future gross revenue.
Stock-based Compensation Plans
The Company has no stock-based compensation plans.
Interim Financial Reporting
The Company's interim financial statements have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are consistent with the presentation and disclosures in the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Income Taxes and Deferred Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are believed to be realizable.
A full valuation allowance on any future tax benefits is being provided until the Company can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates the ability to utilize these assets.
Basic and Fully-diluted Loss per Common Share
Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Fully-diluted net loss per common share is not reported because, under current conditions, the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The Company participates in the high technology industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: advances and trends in new technologies; competitive pressures in the form of price reductions; market acceptance of the Company’s services; development of sales channels; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, regulatory or other factors.
Note 3. Going Concern and Liquidity
Without raising additional capital the Company will not be able to continue operations. Historically, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2010, the accumulated deficit was $2,381,637 and the negative working capital was $395,917. The negative working capital includes $319,650 in current notes payable and $58,798 in accrued expenses owed to related parties. The Company plans to fund operations through private placements and a public offering. There is no assurance that these sources of capital will available to the Company in the future.
Note 4. Notes Payable to Related Parties
The notes payable of $319,650 at June 30, 2010 and $ 302,150 at December 31, 2009 are due to an officer and director of the Company, Marian Munz and his wife Tunde Munz. These notes are convertible, at the option of the note holder, into common and preferred shares of Media Sentiment, Inc at a price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment for splits and reverse splits.
Note 5. Common and Preferred Stock
At June 30, 2010, the Company’s authorized share capital consists of 100,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value and 10,000,000 at $0.001 par value preference shares authorized. At June 30, 2010 there were 3,715,440 common shares and no preference shares issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2009 there were 3,640,440 common shares and no preference shares issued and outstanding.
On June 7, 2010, the Company issued 75,000 shares to Iulian Sirbu in exchange for $3,200 worth of software development services provided.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has no contractual commitments.
Note 7. Income Taxes
The tax effect of significant temporary differences representing future tax assets and future tax liabilities has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company has determined that realization is uncertain and therefore a valuation allowance has been recorded against this future income tax asset.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $658,500. The federal net operating loss carry-forward, if not utilized, will expire in 2027.
Note 8. Subsequent Events
The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to June 30, 2010 through August 5, 2010, the date issued, and has determined that it has no material subsequent events to disclose.

Overview
We own and operate an online news media analysis research service. The service is called MediaSentiment™ and quantifies qualitative press coverage, or what we refer to as Media Sentiment®. The central premise behind MediaSentiment is that media reports about the American economy in general and about specific, publicly traded companies contain important information which can be quantified, graphed, and presented to our customers in a manner that helps them understand media sentiment in order to make more informed decisions related to it. This can benefit our customers as they interpret and track the potential impact of media sentiment on the overall financial markets and as it may affect particular companies.
Currently, our MediaSentiment research product assists our customers in quickly understanding the cumulative sentiment reflected in earnings news released by publicly traded companies for NYSE and NASDAQ companies. Our proprietary tracking software quickly finds and scans available news releases for key words and provides an assessment as to whether the overall tone of the news story is positive or negative.
We have developed and are currently offering the following versions of our product:

|
Our business plan is to generate income from advertising sold on our free version of the product and by promoting and marketing monthly subscriptions to our Media Sentiment Limits™ research product to customers. However, we have generated limited revenues in this endeavor to date. Currently, our operations are substantially reduced and we have limited marketing campaigns for our products and, if we do not obtain financing, we will be forced to pursue other business opportunities.
We currently face a multitude of problems which have a significant impact on our operations. These problems each stem from a lack of financing and are interrelated. As a result of not having adequate financing for sales and marketing activities, we have not been able to generate significant revenues. In addition, if we are not able to obtain adequate financing we will not be able to engage in any future sales or marketing activities and it is unlikely that other companies will be willing to offer our products to their user base. We will not be able to continue in the business of selling Media Sentiment® until we obtain financing. If we are unable to obtain financing, we will be forced to continue other business opportunities.
Management believes that it could continue a significantly lower level of operations for up to 12 months. These minimal operations would be financed either by lines of credit obtained from commercial banks and from Marian Munz, our president or his family. Raising adequate equity financing would allow us to create a full time team and start significant marketing activities. We estimate that the use of, for example, $1 million in equity financing would be: 45% Marketing & Sales, 40% General and Administrative and 15% Research and Development.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we had revenue of $1,387 compared to revenue of $931 for the comparable period last year, essentially flat year-over-year.
Our operating expenses decreased to $11,043 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared with $5,590 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Our expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 consisted of sales and marketing expenses of $168 and operating and administrative expenses of $10,875. Our expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 consisted of sales and marketing expenses of $226 and operating and administrative expenses of $5,364. The increase in administrative expenses from the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to the most recent quarter ended June 30, 2010 largely reflects our expsnes associated with being a public company. We had other expenses in our most recent quarter ended June 30, 2010 of ($12,217), related mostly to the incurrence of interest on our existing debt, while our other income for the comparable period ended June 30, 2009 was $35,077, due almost entirely to the forgiveness of $39,140 in debt previously owed.
We recorded a net loss of $21,873 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared with a net income gain of $30,418 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to the one-time forgiveness of $39,140 in debt previously owed, which occurred in the June 2009 quarter, as well as an increase of approximately $5,000 in administrative expenses during our most recent quarter ended June 2010, attributable to our obligations as a public company.
Based upon the operational developments described above and the lack of financing, we will not be able to continue in the business of selling MediaSentiment™ unless we obtain financing or further loans from management or others. Our independent public accountants have issued a “Going Concern” note to our financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, we had current assets of $1,908 and current liabilities in the amount of $397,825. This resulted in a deficit in working capital in the amount of $395,917. Most of our current liabilities are owed to related parties.
Cash used by operations
Operating activities used $20,748 in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to using $27,816 for the same period in 2009. Our net losses for each six month period were the primary reasons for our negative operating cash flow.
Cash provided by financing activities
There were $20,700 net cash flows provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $22,900 provided by financing during the same period ended 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the financing was obtained by increases in notes payable to Marian and Tunde Munz, the CEO and his wife, as well as the issuance of 75,000 shares in exchange for $3,200 worth of software development services provided by a third-party vendor.
Cash used in investing activities
The Company did not use cash for investing activities during the three or six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.
As of June 30, 2010, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Controls and Procedures.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2010. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Marian Munz, and our Chief Financial Officer, William White. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other 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.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
