ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
 
General
 
Corporate Background
 
We are a Delaware public company traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (ticker symbol: SOMD).  As of June 30, 2011, there were 30,916,182 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.   From April 2006 to June 30, 2011, we have raised approximately $14.9 million in the form of equity for purposes of research and development, the launch of MyStudio and AfterMaster and general corporate purposes. The Company's office and principal place of business is located at 7650 E. Evans Road, Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 USA, and its telephone number is (480) 556-9303.
 
Business

Studio One Media, Inc. ("Studio One" or the "Company") is a diversified media and technology company. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries include MyStudio, Inc. and AfterMaster HD Audio Labs, Inc.

Over the past several years, the Company and its subsidiaries have been engaged in the research and development of proprietary (numerous patents pending), leading-edge audio and video technologies for professional and consumer use, including MyStudio® HD Recording Studios and AfterMasterTM HD Audio.

The Company has the ability to generate revenue from four key sources: (1) MyStudio recording sessions; (2) digital advertising and sponsorship opportunities; (3) website advertising revenues; and (4) mastering or "AfterMastering" of new music as well as existing catalog music.

The Company believes that Studio One's award winning and groundbreaking audio/video technologies and unique business models have the potential to have a significant impact in the entertainment and social media sectors.

Business Update

Fiscal 2011 was an important year in the validation and commercialization of the technologies developed by Studio One Media, Inc. As a result, we believe the Company is favorably positioned to capitalize on significant revenue opportunities made possible by its technologies.

This year we initiated our long awaited national launch program with six MyStudio's in conjunction with a multi-year agreement we forged with Blue Orbit Productions, Inc., the producer of Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" for the use of MyStudio's in their audition process. The X Factor stakeholders include FOX, SONY, FremantleMedia and Simon Cowell's SYCO/Simco. The agreement is terminable and while in effect, contains certain exclusive rights for TV singing based talent competitions. In addition, Blue Orbit was granted 1,100,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Comapny's stock exercisable at $1.35 per share, half of which vested at signing and half of which is due upon the renewal of the second year of the agreement.  The X Factor is one of the most successful TV shows internationally and has received wide acclaim from American audiences since its debut in September. Partnering with one of the most successful television franchises in the world has allowed us to gain national brand recognition not otherwise available to a company of our size whilst giving us an opportunity to prove out our technologies. 

The X Factor partnership allowed the Company to conduct its first high-profile, multi-week audition program for a major television show and test the effectiveness of its proprietary technologies and audition process. The MyStudio/The X Factor auditions conclusively proved MyStudio's statistical and operational advantages over the highly publicized large scale open auditions conducted by The X Factor. The absence of promotional lead-time and marketing support for the MyStudio auditions made the metrics even more significant.
 
The X Factor auditions provided the Company with valuable empirical data that demonstrates the advantages that MyStudio's unique audition system has in discovering and organizing quality talent over large scale open auditions. The quality of talent is the backbone of all television talent-based programs, and the Company believes that the metrics it achieved for The X Factor will be impetus that leads to more widespread use of MyStudio in talent-related entertainment programs. 

A positively disproportionate number of MyStudio auditioners made it to all X Factor elimination levels including singer "Drew", who made Simon Cowell's top three girl finalists. The availability of the studio audition process seven days a week, 12 hours a day and the high-quality of the videos, high fidelity audio of the studios and the less stressful auditioning environment all contributed to the success of those auditioning using MyStudio.  The locations and mall hours of the studios allowed for greater flexibility for those unable to attend the broader "open calls" due to other commitments, such as work and family.

We believe that these results are even more impressive considering the fact that the auditions using MyStudio were announced only a day prior to commencement of the MyStudio auditions. This contrasts with the broader open casting calls, for which the audition dates were announced well ahead of the audition dates and allowed for advanced planning time for prospective auditioners.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. - continued
 
Word of MyStudio's success with The X Factor auditions has recently been recognized by other companies in the television industry, and we have subsequently been contacted by major television producers about utilizing MyStudio in their upcoming shows and for the production of a stand-alone TV show based on MyStudio's general content. We believe that the adoption of our technology by The X Factor and the success of the MyStudio auditions will initiate a favorable change in the way talent is identified and underscores the importance of our multi-year marketing effort to the entertainment industry.

As we embark upon on an accelerated roll-out plan, we believe that MyStudio can play an even greater role and produce an even higher percentage of top talent for The X Factor and other productions if provided with the proper marketing, exposure and resources. The television exposure expected through the X Factor relationship will be valuable to creating brand recognition and awareness for MyStudio.

Over the past year, we have also generated substantial interest in AfterMaster among music and consumer electronics companies. The feedback from music industry executives, leading artists, mastering houses and top consumer products companies has been exceptional. Many have stated that AfterMaster is one of the most exciting new developments in digital audio technology. We are working closely with such parties in the broad adoption of AfterMaster to make it the standard in the digital music industry. It is our belief that 2012 will be a significant turning point in the broad commercialization of our technologies.

We also received notice from the US Patent and Trademark office that they have allowed our first patent from our portfolio of pending patents. The Company continues to develop and aggressively protect its intellectually property.

In November 2010, the Company won the prestigious Technical Achievement Award from the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The Company was recognized for its achievements for both MyStudio and AfterMaster.

Strategic Partnerships

We have devoted a substantial amount of time and resources to the development of high-profile strategic partnerships that will create national exposure for MyStudio and thereby ultimately drive paying traffic to the studios. MyStudio requires broad-based consumer awareness that can only come from strategic alliances and partnerships which will bring exposure to our product and brand on television and other mainstream mediums.
 
When we initially installed a studio in our corporate showroom in Hollywood, our objective was to bring entertainment and music executives to our office to allow them to experience MyStudio and understand its quality and capabilities. This effort has created significant opportunities for the Company. The quality and functionality have always been well received by such executives, as well as an understanding of the efficiencies and cost savings opportunities available from using MyStudio to identify talent. However, the greatest challenges to date have been introducing a new technology to an existing longstanding audition process to the entertainment industry and general public while having a minimal number of studios. We believe we are making great headway into greater brand awareness by installing more studios and gaining exposure through partnerships with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.

In April 2011, we announced our strategic partnership with The X Factor for its inaugural season in the United States. Led by Simon Cowell, a highly acclaimed entertainment entrepreneur and music producer with a notable ability to identify some of the world's top musical talent, The X Factor has had tremendous success in Europe. The U.S. show debuted in September on the Fox Network and has quickly generated a significant following and the high quality of the talent selected to participate in the show has been a key source of fan enthusiasm for the show.

It has been reported that over 75,000 people auditioned for the show, including several thousand who participated in such auditions through MyStudio. Mr. Cowell recognized the significant opportunity provided by MyStudio in broadening the contestant base for his show. MyStudio allowed for contestants to visit six additional venues beyond the primary casting cities to participate in the audition process. The studios were so successful in identifying top quality talent that Mr. Cowell twice extended the audition process via the studios. As we install additional studios throughout the U.S. during fiscal 2012 and beyond, we believe MyStudio will play an even greater role in the identification of top talent for such television shows.

Despite representing only a fraction of the total auditions, over a dozen made the X Factor Boot Camp, three made it into the show's top 32, and one made it to Simon Cowell's top three girl finalists. We believe this further validates that MyStudio creates an important platform for those seeking to audition for reality television shows or any other music, acting, comedy or modeling-related opportunities.

In addition to The X Factor, we successfully hosted auditions during the year for two projects produced by Simon Fuller, the creator and Executive Producer of American Idol. Mr. Fuller, through 19 Entertainment, used MyStudio for the auditions of their reality television show, If I Can Dream. Additionally, Mr. Fuller partnered with celebrity gossip columnist Perez Hilton and world renowned choreographer Jamie King to identity outstanding dance and vocal talent to become members of a newly created boy band.  MyStudio was an integral part of the audition process for the boy band talent process.

We have also been in discussions with various other parties interested in using MyStudio's content as part of a yet to be created variety show that would feature the videos. We view this as an exciting opportunity to broaden the brand awareness of MyStudio and drive additional traffic to the studios.

Numerous other contests using the MyStudio technologies were hosted during the year, including music, modeling and comedy, and discussions are being held with other interested parties about using the studios for their upcoming productions.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. - continued
 
Messrs. Cowell and Fuller and other leading entertainment executives understand that the quality of their shows is only as good as the talent. As the casting process is a "numbers game", the greater number of quality contestants, the greater the likelihood of identifying the best talent and thus the success of the show. MyStudio allows casting directors to broaden their participant base by offering a cost-effective, efficient means without having to host expensive nationwide "cattle calls".

Studios

During the past year, we installed studios in additional locations throughout the United States, which currently include Phoenix, Honolulu, Nashville, Kansas City, Denver and Hollywood. Some of these locations were selected in concert with our partner, The X Factor. Each of these locations generated a significant number of persons auditioning for The X Factor. We are in the process of finalizing the lease for a studio location in the greater New York area. The Company would like to have at least 25 studios installed by the end of calendar year 2012.

In addition to our installed studio base and the studio identified for installation in the New York area, we have taken possession of three additional studio chassis and are in the process of preparing them for installation in early 2012. Our manufacturing partner for the studio chassis is working to complete the production of an additional 11 units. Our new manufacturing relationship has allowed us to realize significant cost savings in the overall studio construction costs. Subject to the availability of adequate capital, we expect to accelerate the roll-out of the studios.

We continue to receive significant inbound interest for MyStudio from around the globe. Our near-term focus has been gaining critical mass of studios in the United States to allow us to attract key strategic partners, such as The X Factor. We are evaluating opportunities from international parties, as well as other means of accelerating the broad roll-out of MyStudio.

AfterMaster

Our proprietary audio mastering technology, AfterMaster, has generated significant interest within the music and consumer electronics industry. The AfterMaster process for mastering audio makes music significantly louder, fuller and clearer than traditionally mastered music. The technology is a proprietary, patents-pending combination of hardware and software and can be applied on virtually all audio sources including, music, radio, television and film.

During the past year, the Company began generating revenues from this new product. The AfterMaster technology has been used on music by Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga and many others.

We believe AfterMaster creates three new revenue opportunities for the Company:

• The mastering ("AfterMastering") of music created by professional musicians, as well as sounds and dialogues in motion pictures and television;
• A consumer-based version of AfterMaster for music created by amateur musicians that could not otherwise afford to have such music professionally mastered.
• Embedding the AfterMaster technology into a chip for use in consumer electronics.

We believe our technology has the potential for record labels to generate significant additional revenue from the re-releases of their catalogues, while providing listeners with a significantly better listening experience. The feedback from the record labels has been very favorable. We are in discussions with major record labels and music distribution companies regarding the use of our technologies for broad commercial use.

In addition to our focus on utilizing AfterMaster for professional use by the music industry, we are in the process of introducing a consumer version of our technology for use by amateur musicians and other consumers. Consumers will be able to upload their music to a specially designed consumer AfterMaster website and have it mastered with unprecedented quality at an affordable price point. We priced this product to appeal to a very broad audience, both domestically and internationally.

A third and very significant opportunity for the AfterMaster technology relates to its use in consumer products for which there is an audio component (e.g., headphones, speakers, televisions). We have received growing interest in the co-development of further technology that will allow AfterMaster to be embedded into such consumer electronics. We have recently entered into discussions with several companies to explore the possibility of the development of such technology. We expect that such a technology would result in a significant and recurring licensing revenue opportunity for the Company.

Corporate

While the Company has experienced top-line growth relative to the prior year, our revenues to date remain below targeted levels. Upon beginning significant negotiations with The X Factor, the management team made the decision to delay the installation of completed studios to capitalize on the brand exposure for MyStudio that would be associated with the partnership. We believe this was a prudent decision as the cash cost of such gaining such publicity and exposure through traditional advertising means would have been cost prohibitive for a company of our size.
 
While we were unable to charge auditionees for their performances for The X Factor, we expect to be charging fees going forward for such auditions. As a result of our inability to charge auditionees, our revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were below our internal targets.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. - continued
 
However, we are pleased to report that the number of persons using the studios during that time exceeded our expectations, whereby we experienced over 100 sessions per day in some studios.
 
We expect to gain further marketing exposure from The X Factor in one or more episodes this season, creating additional brand awareness for the Company. Moreover, our association with The X Factor and having multiple locations in key markets has generated substantial interest by advertisers in renting the on-studio advertising space. Such advertising represents an important revenue opportunity for the Company and its profitability. Management is devoting resources to capitalize on this advertising interest. We expect to have 10 studios installed in major US markets in early 2012 and believe that this further strengthens our ability to generate significant revenue from national advertisers. 

Despite the overall difficulty of the capital markets over the past several years, the Company has and continues to raise capital to launch additional studios and further the advancement of AfterMaster. Unfortunately, the weak capital markets have constrained our growth and the full implementation of our business plan for the roll-out of the studios. We expect to continue raising capital through both equity and debt financing's to further our corporate objectives and create significant shareholder value through our MyStudio and AfterMaster products.

We also successfully completed multi-year licensing agreements with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group and BMG. The licensing agreements allow us to offer a broader number of songs for MyStudio users to perform to and further complement our previously established licensing agreement with EMI. The studios offer thousands of karaoke tracks from which to choose thereby increasing the appeal to a number of non-professional music enthusiasts.

Directors/Advisory Board

Recognizing the significance of our technologies, we have been able to attract some of the leading music and entertainment executives to our Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is an important resource for the Company in terms of thought leadership and strategic introductions. This distinguished group includes:

MyStudio HD Recording Studios

Studio One has developed MyStudio, a self contained, state-of-the-art, high definition (“HD”) interactive audio/video recording studio designed for installation in shopping malls and other high traffic areas.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. - continued
 


MyStudio offers consumers true professional recording studio-quality audio and HD broadcast-quality video with an ease, economy and convenience never before available to the public. MyStudio is designed for installation in malls and other high traffic areas. MyStudio and its accompanying website, MyStudio.net, incorporate into a single entertainment venue some of the best elements of the world's leading Internet and entertainment properties including video sharing, social networking and talent-related television programming. MyStudio eliminates the high cost and technological and logistical barriers inherent in the creation of high quality production and uploading of video content onto the Internet for both amateurs and professionals alike.

MyStudio enables users, for a fee, to record up to a five-minute personalized video with professional-quality backdrop, lighting and sound. The studios feature Hollywood-style green screen technology, and users can select from over a thousand HD virtual backgrounds (static and dynamic) and thousands of licensed karaoke tracks from Sony/ATV Music Publishing, EMI Music Publishing, Universal Music Group, BMG and others. The studio lighting is custom programmed for each virtual background, and the sound quality is derived from a specially engineered acoustic design and a proprietary audio signal sequencing process. Professional users, such as musicians and entertainers, often pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for comparable professionally produced audio and video.

Finished videos are available for viewing within minutes of completion of the recording at MyStudio.net. Videos are protected with a privacy pass-code, and uses can decide whether to make their videos available to the public or keep them private. The MyStudio.net website offers users the opportunity to share videos and create member profile pages in a dynamic social networking environment. Users may also create links between MyStudio.net and other social networking sites or their own websites, such as their own small businesses. MyStudio.net members can enter contests, order free DVDs or CDs of their videos, download MP3 audio files (restrictions apply), access embedded codes or print high resolution photos from their video.

MyStudio has been used to create videos for music, modeling, comedy, dating, job resumes, auditions, and personal messages and greetings. Users can also enter their videos into industry-sponsored music, casting, modeling and comedy contests. In addition, the Company has offered various themed holiday greetings, as well as greetings to U.S. troops overseas.

Currently there are MyStudio locations included in the greater metropolitan areas of Phoenix, Honolulu, Nashville, Hollywood, Kansas City and Denver. Earlier in the current fiscal year, we placed an order for the manufacturing of fifteen additional studio chassis to further our roll-out plans. We have since taken possession of the four of those studio chassis and are in the process of preparing those studios for future installation. We have finalized a lease for placement of the seventh studio in the New York area beginning in December. We expect to receive the balance of the aforementioned studio chassis during fiscal 2012.

 
MyStudio Business Strategy

We plan to continue installing MyStudio's into key markets throughout the U.S. followed by a roll-out into international markets. The ease and quality of the studios have created repeat users and increase traffic to the Company's MyStudio.net website.

We believe MyStudio offers a service never before available to the public - a professional quality recording experience at an affordable price. The HD virtual backgrounds, professional lighting and specially engineered sound cannot be replicated by users at home or outside a professional studio.

Connect Talent to Talent Seekers. MyStudio provides the aspiring artist or entertainer with a cost-effective, professional quality platform to showcase his or her talent. Entertainers often pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for comparable professionally produced audio and video products. Users can often afford to make numerous videos to showcase their talents due to relative minimal price point for using MyStudio. There have been several incidents where users' videos have allowed them to be discovered by talent agents. MyStudio played an integral part of the casting process to find talent for the recently introduced The X Factor in the United States.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. - continued
 
The studios provide entertainment recruiters with an entirely new method for locating talent. Using MyStudio's software casting applications, casting directors are able to review a standardized and efficient format for judging talent prospects. This contrasts with the inefficiencies of them receiving, loading and screening numerous formats of video (i.e., VHS and DVDs) for talent.

Additionally, MyStudio allows prospective contestants the ability to perform their auditions on their own time and in unlimited quantities versus the current casting call standard of having only a few moments and a single opportunity in front of a casting agent. Reality television producers understand that their shows are only as good as the talent. MyStudio will allow for a greater number of contestants to try-out for these shows which provides producers with a much deeper well of talent. MyStudio has the ability to set a new standard and create a new marketplace for sellers and buyers of talent.

We have focused significant efforts on this aspect of our business model and have formed strategic partnerships with Simon Cowell's The X Factor, Mark Burnett Productions, Back Stage Casting and RealityWanted.com. Each of these partnerships is discussed in greater detail herein.

Build an Online Community Featuring User-Generated Content. MyStudio.net captures the social networking phenomena Facebook and video sharing of YouTube and combines it with a superior audio/visual experience. The MyStudio.net website allows users to create personal profiles, share videos with family and friends and make their videos available to the public, all of which encourage user loyalty and viral growth opportunities.

Expand the MyStudio Concept into New Vertical Industries. The potential utilization of the recording studios extends well beyond the entertainment industry. The studios can facilitate efficiency, personalization and differentiation in many industries including professional recruitment and staffing, Internet dating, corporate training, online greeting cards and business promotion. We expect to develop future partnerships for content and users with recruiting, dating and greeting card companies among others.

 
MyStudio Business Model

Our "bricks and clicks" business model is currently based upon three primary sources of revenue: recording session fees from MyStudio and advertising revenue from both the individual studios and the MyStudio.net website. We plan to continue driving recording session revenue through the use of industry-sponsored music, modeling and talent contests with new and repeat users, as well as the installation of additional studios. Additional studios are expected to drive exponential traffic to the MyStudio.net website as each new video generates a greater number of unique website visitors due to the viral effect of our video sharing offering.

Our management team believes that the Company's success depends on our ability to raise additional capital, deploy multiple studios and continue to create strategic partnerships that drive traffic to the studios. Our current installed base of six studios is insufficient to generate adequate revenues to achieve overall profitability for the Company. By deploying multiple studios and gaining "critical mass", we believe that we will be able to successfully implement our business plan, attract a greater number of strategic partnerships and achieve profitability.

Recording Session Revenue. Each studio is designed to record videos during a mall's operating hours, which can average 11 hours per day. MyStudio charges a fee per session for use of the studio. Each session lasts up to five minutes. There are two pay stations on the studio to expedite the song and background selection and payment process. Additionally, users may prepay their sessions from home and have an opportunity to select from a greater variety of songs and backgrounds. These payment options increase throughput for those using the studio.

MyStudio offers over 1,000 HD backgrounds from which to select or users may provide their own backgrounds. Additionally, MyStudio currently offers thousands of songs licensed from Sony/ATV Music Publishing, EMI Music Publishing, Universal Music Group and others for karaoke usage and expects to announce additional music licensing agreements in the future. In many instances, users perform their own songs using their guitar, keyboard or other instruments, which may be plugged into the studios for a professionally sounding quality video.

On-Studio Advertising Revenue. The exterior of the studios contain eight (8) 37" LCD flat screen monitors that are used to promote MyStudio and display advertising messages from selected sponsors and third party advertisers. We have successfully sold advertising on the studios, and we believe that we will be able to secure national advertising sponsors when we have a greater number of studios in operation. As a result of recent high-profile partnerships, we are in discussions with numerous parties that have expressed an interest in advertising on the studios. Such parties recognize the high traffic of the studios based on their placement within their respective malls.

Website Advertising Revenue. Visitors, visitor demographics and time spent on a website are the primary drivers behind advertising-based revenue models for Internet properties. The user-generated content created in MyStudio is the traffic generator for the MyStudio.net website.

We expect web traffic to grow substantially as additional studios are launched. We believe that our web property can create significant value for our shareholders. The leading social media websites, such as Facebook, have created substantial valuations for themselves based on website advertising. Unlike a number of other social media and Internet companies, we are not solely dependent upon website advertising to generate revenues. Our more diverse "bricks and clicks" business model allows our shareholders to benefit from multiple revenue streams, with the website being just one of the Company's valuation drivers.

MyStudio Marketing and Promotion Strategy

Our business plan calls for the establishment of regular events, auditions and contests to drive traffic to the studios; this has been confirmed by a marked increase in studio traffic when contests and promotions have been offered. Our marketing and promotion strategy is designed to drive traffic through the studios which in turn drives traffic to the MyStudio.net website.

To date, we have not invested significant dollars for marketing as we believe such marketing efforts would not have been prudent without a national footprint for MyStudio. We expect to significantly increase our national marketing efforts to drive sponsorship and advertising revenues later in the current calendar year. With a broader installed studio base in major metropolitan markets, we believe that we will have a much greater opportunity to gain national attention of large sponsors who understand the opportunity to partner with MyStudio for contests and auditions to favorably market their own businesses. To date, we have successfully sold sponsorships that have led to increased utilization of the studio, as well as advertising monies.

We remain focused on forming strategic partnerships at the local, regional and national level with talent seekers (the television, music, film, performing arts and modeling industries), the media (radio and television stations and printed media) and corporate sponsors who may seek access to our expanding user base. Such partnerships are designed to generate industry-sponsored music, modeling and talent contests to stimulate trial of and demand for the studios.

MyStudio has successfully partnered with some of the top names in the entertainment business, as described below.

In April 2011, we announced a groundbreaking multi-year partnership with Simon Cowell's The X Factor, the most significant partnership yet announced by the Company. We believe that the agreement represents a very significant milestone for the Company and demonstrates that the Company has established its ability to partner with some of the most important entities in the music and entertainment businesses.

Led by Mr. Cowell, a highly acclaimed entertainment entrepreneur and music producer with a notable ability to identify some of the world's top musical talent, The X Factor has had tremendous success in Europe. The show debuted in September on the Fox Network and has quickly generated a very significant following throughout the U.S. The high quality of the talent selected to participate in the show has been a key source of fan enthusiasm for the show.

It has been reported that over 75,000 people auditioned for the show, including several thousand who participated in such auditions through MyStudio. Mr. Cowell recognized the significant opportunity provided by MyStudio in broadening the contestant base for his show. MyStudio allowed for contestants to visit six additional venues beyond the primary casting cities to participate in the audition process. As we install additional studios throughout the U.S. during fiscal 2012 and beyond, we believe MyStudio will play an even greater role in the identification of top talent for such television shows.

We are pleased to report that of the enormous group auditioning for the show, three of the acts using MyStudio made it into the show's final 32 to date, as well as one of those acts advancing as a final three girl's finalist. We believe this further validates that MyStudio creates an important platform for those seeking to audition for reality television shows or any other music, acting, comedy or modeling-related opportunities.

The partnership with The X Factor demonstrated that the MyStudio recording studios are an efficient means for allowing for a broad number of people in multiple cities to try out for reality television shows. Accordingly, we expect television, theater and motion pictures to begin to follow Mr. Cowell's lead in utilizing this technology to enhance their casting processes and thereby creating the potential for a number of other strategic partnerships for the Company.

Our participation with The X Factor has allowed the Company to gain national attention for its studios without having to expend significant amounts of internal funds to achieve a comparable level of positive exposure and brand development.

Prior to the recently announced auditions for The X Factor, we completed a multi-year agreement with Mark Burnett Productions ("MBP"), which provided for the use of MyStudio to augment the casting of the MBP television shows. MBP has used MyStudio in the casting of its shows, including Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader and Bully Beatdown. MBP is a leading production company for primetime television, cable and the Internet, and has produced over 1,100 hours of television programming which regularly air in over 70 countries around the world. 

MyStudio was used by entertainment leaders Simon Fuller, Perez Hilton and Jamie King in their casting for Boy Band, a contest to identify five males between the ages of 13 and 21 with outstanding dance and vocal talent to form a high profile band. Mr. Fuller is the producer of American Idol. Mr. Hilton is a famous celebrity gossip columnist with a very extensive following. Mr. King is a world renowned choreographer. MyStudio was selected by Boy Band for the convenience and ease by potential contestants and was responsible for finding one of the Boy Band members.

In addition to Boy Band, Mr. Fuller, through 19 Entertainment and MySpace, used MyStudio for the auditions of If I Can Dream, a reality television show offered through Hulu.com. The studios were used by a number of aspiring artists to perform their audition demos in hopes of being selected to join this show.

We have completed a strategic partnership with RealityWanted.com, a leading source for reality TV casting calls in the U.S. The partnership provides for members of both companies to create audition videos for hundreds of top reality television shows. Most reality TV applicants are missing one of the most critical components to being selected - the video. This partnership created a turnkey reality TV casting platform to help complete the casting process. Users can easily supplement their RealityWanted.com profiles with a high-quality video that better conveys their talents and unique personality traits giving them a greater chance of being selected for a reality television show. As MyStudio offers over 1,000 high definition backgrounds, users can pick an environment to best suit their audition.

We have also established a partnership with Back Stage Casting., the entertainment industry's most recognized resource for real-time casting and audition information, acting advice, job listings and entertainment news. Utilizing MyStudio, Back Stage is able to offer its members and audition pieces for specific casting calls. Film, theater and television productions are asking actors to submit audition videos specific to their projects to streamline the casting process and identify the most talented candidates. MyStudio offers actors a high quality, convenient and inexpensive way to create their professional videos and increase their chances of being selected.

In addition to casting for television and stage, we completed a multi-year partnership with The GRAMMY Foundation to host auditions for various GRAMMY Foundation programs. The studios were used for auditions and promotions relating to several GRAMMY Foundation programs for young people including GRAMMY Camp®, GRAMMY® Signature Schools and the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles.

A number of contests using MyStudio have been sponsored by some high-profile music, modeling and comedy companies. We expect to continue entering into additional strategic partnerships with other high profile companies in the music, television, modeling and comedy fields to further traffic to our studios.

Licensed musical content is another facet in our marketing and promotional strategy. In July 2008, we entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with EMI Music Publishing ("EMI") which grants us access to EMI's extensive music catalog. Notable EMI artists include Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Reba McEntire, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keyes and Elvis Presley. The agreement allows users to legally incorporate popular music from one of the world's largest music publishers into their creative endeavors, synchronizing music, voice and video into a single format. Subsequent agreements with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, BMG and Universal Music Group have since been signed to further expand the karaoke catalog.

We continue to aggressively pursue additional reality TV, music, modeling and comedy audition opportunities.

 
AfterMaster HD Audio

We have developed a revolutionary audio mastering technology branded AfterMaster, for which the technology is held by AfterMaster HD Audio Labs, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We believe that the AfterMaster process for mastering audio makes music significantly louder, fuller and clearer than traditionally mastered music. The technology is a proprietary, patents-pending combination of hardware and software which was developed by our audio engineering team. It can be applied on virtually all audio sources including, music, radio, television and film.

The AfterMaster process can be used to create both a master from a master audio mix or to "AfterMaster" existing music that has already been mastered. The technology allows any mastered audio to be remastered without the need to access the master mix. The business model includes the mastering and "AfterMastering" of both new music releases as well as catalog music. We believe that AfterMaster can be the technological impetus that can revitalize the music industry by providing consumers with a new leap in sound quality and added value. Some music industry experts who have recently been introduced to our technologies have equated it with high definition television: this technology has the opportunity to do for music what HD has done for television.

The first commercial music release utilizing the AfterMaster technology was Janet Jackson's hit single, "Make Me". This song was released by Universal Music and produced by nationally recognized record producer Rodney Jerkins. Additional songs, including music by Lady Gaga, Ray J and Shontelle have since been released using our technologies. Advisory Board members Rodney Jerkins, Richard Perry and Jason Flom are very influential in the music community and are instrumental to the execution of the AfterMaster business plan. Additionally, Advisory Board member Charles Weber, the first CEO of Lucasfilms, will be instrumental in the marketing and adoption of AfterMaster for motion pictures and television.

We have spent much of our time to date primarily focused on employing the AfterMaster technology for music - both existing catalogue and new releases. We believe our technology has the potential for the record labels to generate significant additional revenue from the re-release of their catalogues, while providing listeners with a better listening experience. The feedback from the record labels has been very favorable. We are in discussions with major record labels regarding the use of our technologies for broad commercial use.

In addition to our focus on utilizing AfterMaster for professional use by the music industry, we are introducing a version of the technology for use by amateur musicians and other consumers. Consumers will be able to upload their music through a specially designed AfterMaster website and have it mastered with unprecedented quality at an affordable price point. We priced this product to appeal to a very broad audience, both domestically and internationally.

A third and very significant opportunity for the AfterMaster technology relates to its use in consumer products for which there is an audio component (e.g., phones, stereo speakers, car speakers). We have received growing interest in the co-development of further technology that will allow AfterMaster to be embedded into consumer electronics. We have recently entered into an agreement with a leading consumer electronics company to explore the possibility of the development of such technology. We expect that such a technology would result in a significant and recurring licensing revenue opportunity for the Company.

Manufacturing

Earlier this fiscal year, we announced that we had contracted for the manufacture of 15 of its proprietary studio chassis. We have since taken possession of the first four of such chassis. This agreement has allowed us to realize substantial studio cost savings relative to the prior manufacturer. We have and intend to continue financing additional studios through a combination of existing capital resources, raising additional capital and utilization of one existing credit facility.

We continue to evaluate our other vendors to identify additional cost savings for the studios.

 
Intellectual Property and Licensing
 
We have embarked on an aggressive intellectual property program including the filing of numerous foreign and domestic patent applications and trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office all designed to protect what we believe is innovative and proprietary technology. We also enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and confidentiality agreements with third parties, and we rigorously control access to proprietary technology. We currently have one patent approved with numerous patents and trademarks pending.

 
Employees

As of the end of our fiscal year on June 30, 2011, we employed eighteen full-time and twenty four part-time employees, including attendants at the MyStudio locations.  We expect to seek additional employees in the next year to handle anticipated potential growth.

We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.  None of our employees are members of any union nor have they entered into any collective bargaining agreements.

 
Facilities

Pursuant to a lease originally dated January, 2006, we currently occupy approximately 11,800 square feet of office space located at 7650 E. Evans Rd., Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona on a month-by month basis.  The total lease expense is approximately $9,609 per month, payable in cash and Common Stock of the Company.

We are leasing office space on a month-to-month basis in West Hollywood, California.  We also lease an office in Los Angeles for use by our audio team in connection with our AfterMaster product.  This is a two-year lease expiring on July 31, 2013.  The total lease expense for both facilities is approximately $13,500 per month, and the total remaining obligations under these leases at June 30, 2011 were approximately $5,500.

We lease space at mall locations for MyStudio generally pursuant to one-year leases. The monthly rent for these spaces is at market rates commensurate with other kiosk operations.  As we expand, we will continue to secure space for our recording studios at various venues and locations throughout the country.

 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS.
 
You should carefully consider the risk factors and other uncertainties set forth below and all other information contained in this Report, as well as the public disclosure documents incorporated by reference herein.  If any of the events contemplated by the following risks actually occurs, then our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties below are not the only risks facing our company.   Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that are not yet identified or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
 
 
History of Operations and Dependence on Future Developments.
 
We own proprietary audio/video recording technologies, patent and trademark applications, studio design, methods and related concepts for the MyStudio HD Recording Studios.  MyStudio is a self-contained interactive video recording studio designed for installation in shopping malls and other pedestrian high traffic public areas.  The studios enable the public, for a fee, to record their video and voice images in a stand alone, state-of-the-art recording studio and enter their MyStudio performances in music, modeling and other talent related contests.  In addition, MyStudio can be used to record video resumes, dating profiles and personal messages.  We believe MyStudio methods, processes and business model are proprietary and a unique opportunity in the entertainment industry.
 
We opened our first studio in September 2008 and have since installed multiple studios in the U.S.  We intend to continue placing our studios in malls across America, as well as expand into other high traffic locations and theme parks.  Ultimately, MyStudio intends to be a one-stop accessible facility that acts as a link between an entertainment hopeful and the acting, fashion and music industries.  Our revenues are generated by services provided by the studio, as well as through website advertising.
 
Subsequently, we have introduced our audio mastering technology, AfterMaster.  The technology has been utilized by some of the top name artists within the music industry, albeit such utilization has resulted in limited revenues to date.  We are in discussions with record labels about adopting the technology for use in re-monetizing their music catalogues.
 
We have a history of losses and will likely realize future losses.  Both MyStudio and AfterMaster have limited operations and are currently generating modest revenues.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. - continued
 
We are dependent upon our management, certain shareholders and investors for fundraising.  We expect additional operating losses will occur until revenues are sufficient to offset our costs for marketing, sales, general and administrative and product and services development.  We are subject to all of the risks inherent in establishing an early stage business enterprise.  Since we have limited operations, there can be no assurance that our business plan will be successful.  The potential for our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered with an early stage business and the competitive environment in which we will operate.  A prospective investor should be aware that if we are not successful in achieving our goals and achieving profitability, any money invested in us will likely be lost.  Our management team believes that our potential near-term success depends on our success in, manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and services.
 
As an early stage company we are particularly susceptible to the risks and uncertainties described herein, and we will be more likely to incur the expenses associated with addressing them.  Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in early stages of development.  These risks are particularly severe among companies in new markets, such as those markets in which we expect we will operate.  Accordingly, shareholders will bear the risk of loss of their entire investment in our shares.
 
 
New Business Model.
 
We have a relatively new business model in an emerging and rapidly evolving market.  Accordingly, this makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue or be successful.  We will encounter risks and difficulties as a company operating in a new and rapidly evolving market.  We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business and operating results.
 
 
Limited Capital and Need for Additional Financing.
 
The funds currently available to us are inadequate to fully implement our business plan.  Until we have achieved revenues sufficient for us to break-even, we will not be a self-sustaining entity, which could adversely impact our ability to be competitive in the areas in which do and intend to operate.  We require additional funding for continued operations and will therefore be dependent upon our ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowing, equity or debt financing or asset sales. We expect to access the public and private equity and/or debt markets periodically to obtain the funds we need to support our operations and continued growth.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to us.  If we require, but are unable to obtain, additional financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, we will not be able to continue our business strategy, respond to changing business or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results or compete effectively.  If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to curtail, in whole or in part, or cease its activities altogether.  When additional shares are issued to obtain financing, current shareholders will suffer a dilutive effect on their percentage of stock ownership.   
 
We require substantial capital to manufacture our recording studios.  Although we intend to engage in subsequent debt and equity offerings of our securities to raise additional working capital for operations, studio manufacturing and the AfterMaster operations, we have no firm commitments for any additional funding, either debt or equity, at the present time.  Insufficient financial resources may require us to delay or eliminate all or some of our sales and marketing efforts to generate revenues for both MyStudio and AfterMaster, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  There is no certainty that our expenditures will result in a profitable business as proposed.
 
 
Lack of Diversification.
 
Our size makes it unlikely that we will be able to commit our funds to diversify the business until we have a proven track record, and we may not be able to achieve the same level of diversification as larger entities engaged in this type of business.
 
 
Competition.
 
We know of no competitors offering a similar high-quality, in-mall HD recording studio experience.  We believe that we are first to market with a recording studio with such functionality and quality combined with a groundbreaking website.  It would require a competitor significant time and capital to design, develop and manufacture a recording studio with similar functionality and features, giving us valuable time to gain consumer recognition and a foothold in the market.  Additionally, we have pursued an aggressive intellectual property strategy, including the recent approval of a patent that provides additional competitive barriers.
 
Additionally, based on feedback from executives within the music industry, we have not been made aware of any significant competitors offering an audio enhancement technology of the same quality level as AfterMaster.
 
While the technologies surrounding MyStudio and AfterMaster are cutting edge and unique, we believe there are other factors that will separate us from competitors.  We have embarked on an aggressive intellectual property protection program which we believe will be significant barriers to market entry to potential competitors for our current product offerings.  In addition, we employ individuals who have long standing relationships and expertise in various segments of the entertainment, marketing, finance and communications industries, which we expect will help facilitate the negotiation of favorable partnerships, sponsorships and industry support for MyStudio and AfterMaster.
 
Nonetheless, many potential competitors have greater name recognition, industry contacts and more extensive customer bases that could be leveraged to accelerate their competitive activity.  Moreover, potential competitors may establish future cooperative relationships among themselves and with third parties to enhance their products and services in this market space in which we propose to operate.  Consequently, competitors or alliances may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with any competitor should they arise or that the competitive pressures faced by us will not harm our business. Such intense competition will limit our opportunities and have a materially adverse effect on our profitability or viability.
 
Our web property competes in a growing social media market with companies like Facebook, YouTube and MySpace.  We believe our HD-quality and user-generated content is unique and may allow us to differentiate ourselves from other social media companies.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. - continued
 
Performance - Market Acceptance.
 
The quality of our products, services, its marketing and sales ability, and the quality and abilities of our personnel are among the operational keys to our success.  We are heavily dependent upon successfully completing our product development, gaining market acceptance and subsequently recruiting and training a successful sales and marketing force.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting, training or retaining the key personnel required to execute the business plan.  Also, there can be no assurance that we can complete development of new technologies so that other companies possessing greater resources will not surpass it.  There can be no assurance that we can achieve our planned levels of performance.  If we are unsuccessful in these areas, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and forecasted financial results.  The entertainment industry may resist our business plan and refuse to participate in contests and other sponsorship events.   In that case we would be forced to fund and sponsor its own contests which would affect operating capital, liquidity and revenues.   The music industry may also resist the adoption of our AfterMaster technology for new and catalogue releases.
 
 
Dependence on Intellectual Property - Design and Proprietary Rights.
 
Our success and ability to compete depends to a degree on our intellectual property.  We will rely on copyright, trademark and patent filings as well as confidentiality arrangements, to protect our intellectual property locally and internationally.  Studio One and its subsidiaries have filed numerous patent applications relating to MyStudio, AfterMaster and related technologies and processes, and while we believe the technologies, methods and processes merit patent protection, there is no assurance that any patent will be issued.  If circumstances make it impossible to try to adequately protect our intellectual property, that intellectual property could be used by others without our consent and there could be material adverse consequences to us. We have filed several trademark applications and have received Notices of Allowance on four of those applications. Effective protection may not be available for our service marks. Although we plan to continue to register our service marks in the United States and in countries in which we do business or expect to do business, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure significant protection for these marks. Our competitors, if any exist, or others may adopt product or service names similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to client confusion. If circumstances make it impossible to adequately protect the name and brand, this could seriously harm our business.
 
Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is made especially difficult by the global nature of the high technology industry and difficulty in controlling hardware and software.  The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection for our intellectual property.  We cannot assure you that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights; determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others; or defend against claims of infringement or invalidity.  Such litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources, either of which could seriously harm our business.  There can be no assurance that our competitors, some of which have substantially greater resources, will not obtain patents or other intellectual property protection that will restrict our ability to make and sell our products.  If we are unsuccessful in protecting proprietary and intellectual property rights to the MyStudio and/or AfterMaster related business methods and websites, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and value, and financial results.
 
 
Economic Downturn.
 
We are susceptible to adverse impacts caused by domestic and/or international economic downturns (including the current challenging economic landscape) in the markets in which do or propose to operate, as well as broader economic downturns affecting a region, or a particular industry sector in which we propose to operate.  There can be no assurance that we will survive any such economic downturn, or if we do survive, that we will be capable of executing or furthering, to any meaningful degree, the originally conceived business plans.
 
 
Some of Our Markets are Cyclical.
 
Some of our markets are cyclical, and a decline in any of these markets could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.   Our business is cyclical and dependent on consumer and business spending and is therefore impacted by the strength of the economy generally, interest rates, and other factors, including national, regional and local slowdowns in economic activity and job markets, which can result in a general decrease in product demand from professional contractors and specialty distributors.  For example, a slowdown in economic activity that results in less discretionary income for entertainment and music can have an adverse effect on the demand for some or all of our products.  In addition, unforeseen events, such as terrorist attacks or armed hostilities, could negatively affect our industry or the industries in which our customers operate, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. - continued
 
Disaster.
 
A disaster that disables our operations will negatively impact our ability to perform for a period of time.
 
 
Dependency on Foreign Components for our Products.
 
We do and expect to continue sourcing components for our products from both inside and outside of the United States, which may present additional risks to our business.  International sourcing of components subject to various risks, including political, religious and economic instability, local labor market conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs and other trade restrictions, the impact of foreign government regulations, and the effects of income and withholding tax, governmental expropriation, and differences in business practices.  We may incur increased costs and experience delays or disruptions in product deliveries and payments in connection with component manufacturers, thus causing a potential loss of revenues. Unfavorable changes in the political, regulatory, and business climate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. 
 
 
Exposure to Product Liability Lawsuits.
 
Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by product liability lawsuits.   While we expect to maintain what we believe to be suitable product liability insurance once we have commenced operations of services with the general public, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain this insurance on acceptable terms or that this insurance will provide adequate protection against potential liabilities.  A series of successful claims against us could materially and adversely affect our reputation and our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
 
 
Dependency on Key Suppliers and Product Availability.
 
Loss of key suppliers, lack of product availability or loss of delivery sources could delay product development, manufacturing and decrease sales and earnings.  Our ability to manufacture our studios is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate product supply from manufacturers or other suppliers. While in many instances we have agreements, including supply agreements, with our suppliers, these agreements are generally terminable by either party on limited notice.  The loss of, or a substantial decrease in the availability of, products from certain of our suppliers, or the loss of key supplier agreements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, supply interruptions could arise from shortages of raw materials, labor disputes or weather conditions affecting products or shipments, transportation disruptions or other factors beyond our control.
 
 
Dependency on Long Supply Chains.
 
In some cases we are dependent on long supply chains, which may subject us to interruptions in the supply of many of the products or components used in the manufacturing and assembly of MyStudio.   The length and complexity of these supply chains make them vulnerable to numerous risks, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause significant interruptions or delays in delivery of our products.  Factors such as labor disputes, changes in tariff or import policies, severe weather or terrorist attacks or armed hostilities may disrupt these supply chains.  A significant interruption in our supply chains caused by any of the above factors could result in increased costs or delivery delays and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
 
Fluctuations in Cost of Raw Materials.
 
Our results of operations could be adversely affected by fluctuations in the cost of raw materials.   The manufacturing process is subject to world commodity pricing for some of the raw materials used in the manufacture of our studios.  Such raw materials are often subject to price fluctuations, frequently due to factors beyond our control, including changes in supply and demand, general U.S. and international economic conditions, labor costs, competition, and government regulation.  Inflationary and other increases in the costs of raw materials have occurred in the past and may recur in the future.  Any significant increase in the cost of raw materials could reduce our profitability and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
 
Regulatory Factors.
 
Our business model includes a component involving the Internet.  As such, we are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that effect business on the Internet.  We must contend with laws and regulations relating to user privacy, freedom of expression, content, advertising, information security and intellectual property rights of others.  Possible future consumer legislation, regulations and actions could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the activities undertaken in connection with our business, the extent of which cannot be predicted.  The exact affect of such legislation cannot be predicted until it is proposed.
 
 
Terms of Subsequent Financings.
 
Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.  We will engage in common equity, debt, and/or preferred stock financings in the future.  Your rights and the value of your investment in Preferred or Common Stock could be reduced.  Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impacts operating results.  Shares of our Preferred Stock may be issued in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of Preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of Common Stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common or preferred stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of your investment. Shares of Common Stock which we sell could be sold into the market, which could adversely affect the market price.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. - continued
 
Rapid Technological Change.
 
The industries in which we operate are characterized by rapid technological change that requires us to implement new technologies on an ongoing basis.  Our future will depend upon our ability to successfully implement new technologies in a rapidly changing technological environment.  We will likely require additional capital to develop new technologies to meet changing customer demands.  Moreover, expenditures for technology and product development are generally made before the commercial viability for such developments can be assured.  As a result, we cannot assure that we will successfully implement new technologies, that any implementations will be well received by customers, or that we will realize a return on the capital expended to develop such technology.
 
 
Effect of Fluctuations in Operations on the Price of Common Stock.
 
Our future operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of our Common Stock to decline, which could result in substantial losses for investors.   Our limited operating history makes it difficult to predict accurately our future operations.  We expect that our operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control.  If our operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline significantly.  The factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include, but are not limited to:
 
 
Ability to broadly commercialize and expand MyStudio and/or AfterMaster;
 
Changes in entertainment technology;
 
Price and availability of alternative entertainment available to the public;
 
Availability and cost of technology and marketing personnel;
 
Our ability to establish and maintain key relationships with industry partners;
 
The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to maintaining our business, operations, and infrastructure; and
 
General economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the entertainment industry.
 
These and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of Common Stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our Common Stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities.  If securities class action litigation were to be brought against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could hurt our business.
 
 
Our Common Stock is Subject to Penny Stock Regulations.
 
Our Common Stock is subject to regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks.  These regulations generally require that a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith be delivered to purchasers of penny stocks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our Common Stock and could limit your ability to sell your securities in the secondary market.
 
 
Uncertainty as a Going Concern.
 
Our future existence remains uncertain and the report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010 includes an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern.  We have suffered substantial losses from operations and require additional financing.  Ultimately we need to generate additional revenues and attain profitable operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop commercially viable products or an effective marketing system. Even if we are able to develop commercially viable products, there is no assurance that we will be able to attain profitable operations.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. - continued
 
Dilution; Dilutive Effect of Future Transactions.
 
As of June 30, 2011, we had 30,916,182 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, issued and outstanding.  We have granted options to purchase 678,429 shares of Common Stock pursuant to our 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan approved by the Board on June 10, 2009, and contemplate issuing options to purchase a maximum of 773,000 additional shares of Common Stock under this Plan.  We may also issue further shares to certain of our management, directors, officers, employees and consultants in the immediate future.  We also had 1,636,044 shares of various classes of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which can be converted to 2,238,814 shares of Common Stock.  We had outstanding convertible debt with a face value of $1,340,488, which can be converted into approximately 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, we had warrants outstanding that would permit, if exercised, the issuance of 6,264782 additional shares of Common Stock at an average exercise price of $0.62.  Issuing additional shares will result in further dilution to existing shareholders, which could be significant; meaning your percentage ownership of any such merged entity will be significantly less than your percentage ownership in us.  If we issue additional shares either outright or through any future options or warrants programs or requires additional financing, further dilution in value and in the percentage ownership represented by the purchaser’s investment will occur.
 
Future debt or equity transactions, as well as the related of grant and subsequent exercise of such warrants, could result in dilution.  From time to time, we sell restricted preferred or common stock, warrants, and convertible debt to investors in other private placements.  Because such stock is restricted, the stock is sold at a greater discount to market prices compared to a public stock offering, and the exercise price of related warrants, if any, sometimes is at or even lower than market prices.  These transactions cause dilution to existing stockholders.  Also, from time to time, options are issued to officers, directors, or employees, with exercise prices equal to the market price.  Warrants may also be issued to advisors and vendors at times in lieu or in addition to other compensation. Exercises of options and warrants will result in dilution to existing stockholders.  The amount of dilution will depend on the spread between the market and exercise price, and the number of shares involved, which could be significant.
 
 
Restrictions on Transfer - No Public Market for Preferred Shares or Restricted Common Shares.
 
Our shares of Common Stock are traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board System (OTCBB) under the ticker symbol SOMD.  However, for shares that have been issued and are restricted pursuant to SEC Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), there is presently no public or private market for such shares.  Such shares may only be offered or sold pursuant to registration under or an exemption from the Act and have not been registered under the Act, as amended, or any State securities laws and would be issued under Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.  
 
 
Expect to Incur Losses for the Foreseeable Future.
 
We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and we may never become profitable.   Our business model requires that additional studios be deployed and operating for us to generate enough revenues to reach break-even.  There are no assurances that significant revenues from MyStudio and/or AfterMaster necessary for the Company to become break-even will occur. We expect our expenses to increase significantly as we continue to develop the infrastructure necessary to fully implement our business strategy.  Our expenses will continue to increase as we: hire additional employees; implement our marketing plans; pursue further research and development; expand our information technology systems; and lease and purchase more space to accommodate our operations.
 
Costs associated with designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing and developing the infrastructure we will need to support our customers will depend upon many factors, including the number of MyStudio locations.  Therefore, we cannot now determine the amount by which our expenses will increase as we grow.
 
 
Possible Claims That the Company Has Violated Intellectual Property Rights of Others.
 
We are not subject to any dispute, claim or lawsuit or threatened lawsuit alleging the violation of intellectual property rights of a third party.  We believe MyStudio and AfterMaster are not in violation of any patents claimed by others.  To the extent that the Company is ever alleged to have violated a patent or other intellectual property right of a third party, it may be prevented from operating its business as planned, and it may be required to pay damages, to obtain a license, if available, to use the patent or other right or to use a non-infringing method, if possible, to accomplish its objectives. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could subject us to costly litigation and the diversion of our technical and management personnel. If we incur costly litigation and our personnel are not effectively deployed, the expenses and losses incurred will increase, and our profits, if any, will decrease.
 
 
Business Plans and Operational Structure May Change.
 
We continually analyze our business plans and operations in light of market conditions and developments.  As a result of our ongoing analyses, we may decide to make substantial changes in our business plan and organization.  In the future, as we continue our internal analyses and as market conditions and our available capital change, we may decide to make organizational changes and/or alter some or all of our overall business plans.
 
 
 
18

 
 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. - continued
 
Reliance on Management.
 
We believe that our present management has the experience and ability to successfully implement our business plans for the foreseeable future.  However, it is likely that we will continue to add to our management and therefore will recruit additional persons to key management positions in the future.  Should we be unsuccessful in recruiting persons to fill the key positions or in the event any of these individuals should cease to be affiliated with us for any reason before qualified replacements can be hired, there could be material adverse effects on our business and prospects.  Each officer, director, and other key personnel has or will have an employment agreement with us which will contain provisions dealing with confidentiality of trade secrets, ownership of patents, copyrights and other work product, and non-competition.  Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that these personnel will remain employed for the entire duration of the respective terms of such agreements or that any employee will not breach covenants and obligations owed to us. 
 
In addition, all management decisions will be made exclusively by our officers and directors.  Investors will only have rights associated with minority ownership interest rights to make decisions that affect the Company.  Our success, to a large extent, will depend on the quality of our directors, officers and senior management.
 
 
Inability to Attract and Retain Qualified Personnel.
 
Our future success depends in significant part on its ability to attract and retain key management, technical and marketing personnel.  Competition for highly qualified professional, technical, business development, and management and marketing personnel is intense.  We may experience difficulty in attracting new personnel, may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy, or we may need to pay higher compensation for employees than we currently expect.  A shortage in the availability of required personnel could limit our ability to grow.  We cannot assure you that we will succeed in attracting and retaining the personnel we need to grow.
 
 
Inability to Manage Rapid Growth.
 
We expect to grow rapidly.  Rapid growth often places considerable operational, managerial and financial strain on a business.  To successfully manage rapid growth, we must accurately project its rate of growth and:
 
 
Rapidly improve, upgrade and expand our business infrastructure;
 
Deliver our product and services on a timely basis;
 
Maintain levels of service expected by clients and customers;
 
Maintain appropriate levels of staffing;
 
Maintain adequate levels of liquidity; and
 
Expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and network hardware or software or find third parties to provide these services.
 
Our business will suffer if we are unable to successfully manage our growth.
 
 
Effects of Amortization Charges/Stock Based Compensation. 
 
Our losses will increase, or our earnings, if applicable, will be reduced by charges associated with the issuance of options and/or warrants.  We have adopted a stock incentive plan for the benefit of our directors, officers and employees.  We may also compensate consultants and vendors with restricted stock and/or warrants in lieu of, or in addition to, cash for services provided. The total unearned stock-based compensation will be amortized as a stock-based compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements over the applicable vesting periods, generally two to ten years in the case of options granted to employees, officers and directors and two years in the case of warrants granted to consultants and other third parties.  These types of charges may increase in the future.  The future value of these potential charges cannot be estimated at this time because the charges will be based on the future value of our stock and the related exercises of the aforementioned options and warrants.
 
 
Dividend Policy.
 
There can be no assurance that our operations will result in future significant revenues or any level of profitability.  We have not, and do not, anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.  We plan to retain all future earnings and cash flows, if any, to finance our operations and for general corporate purposes.  Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends will be at our Board of Directors’ discretion and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant.
 
 
Conflicts of Interest.
 
Existing and future officers and directors may have other interests to which they devote time, either individually or through partnerships and corporations in which they have an interest, hold an office, or serve on boards of directors, and each may continue to do so.  As a result, certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its officers and/or directors that may not be susceptible to resolution.  All potential conflicts of interest will be resolved only through exercise by the directors of such judgment as is consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company, and it is the intention of management to minimize any potential conflicts of interest.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. - continued
 
Loss of Services of Key Members of Our Senior Management Team.
 
Our future success depends in a large part upon the continued services of key members of our senior management team.  These persons are critical to the overall management of Studio One as well as the development of our technology, our culture and our strategic direction.  We do not maintain any key-person life insurance policies.  The loss of any of our management or key personnel could seriously harm our business.
 

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

None.
 
 
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

Pursuant to a lease originally dated January, 2006, we currently occupy approximately 11,800 square feet of office space located at 7650 E. Evans Rd., Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona on a month-to-month basis.  The total lease expense is approximately $9,609 per month, payable in cash and Common Stock of the Company.
 
We are leasing office space on a month-to-month basis in West Hollywood, California.  We also lease an office in Los Angeles for use by our audio team in connection with our AfterMaster product under a two-year lease expiring on July 31, 2013.  The total lease expense for both facilities is approximately $11,800 per month, and the total remaining obligations under these leases at June 30, 2011 were approximately $115,000.
 
We lease space at mall locations for MyStudio generally pursuant to one-year leases. The monthly rent for these spaces is at market rates commensurate with other kiosk operations.  As we expand, we will continue to secure space for our recording studios at various venues and locations throughout the country.
 
Rent expense for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $464,017, of which $378,391 was paid in cash and $85,626 of which was paid in Common Stock.  Rent expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $329,379 paid in cash and Common Stock and $31,929 paid in barter and included in barter expense.
 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
We were an interpleader party to a lawsuit in the Southern District of Georgia, Savannah Division, pursuant to which we sought to prevent the release of 100,000 shares of its Common Stock to a third-party and asked the court to return those shares to the Company.   The parties to that suit have, subsequent to June 30, 2011, reached a mutually agreeable settlement.

Except as described in the preceding paragraph, to the best knowledge of our management, there are no material litigation matters pending or threatened against us.

Stockholders

As of June 30, 2011, the number of stockholders of record according to our transfer agent was approximately 499.  Because many of our shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.  Consequently, the actual number of stockholders of record as of the date of this Report was not available. The Company believes, however, that it has approximately 1,500 stockholders in total.

Dividends

The Company has paid no dividends on its Common Stock since its inception and does not anticipate or contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. 
 
Pursuant to the terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, a 5% annual dividend is due and owing. Pursuant to the terms of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, an 8% annual dividend is due and owing.  Pursuant to the terms of our Series A-1 Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, a 6% annual dividend is due and owing.  As of June 30, 2011, we had not declared dividends on Series A, Series B or its Series A-1 Preferred Stock.  We have, however, for those shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that were converted, calculated the dividends through the date of conversion and issued shares of common stock in payment of those dividends.  The unpaid cumulative dividends totaled approximately $217,003.  See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  

Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities for Fiscal Years 2011 and 2010

ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not required by Form 10-K for smaller reporting companies.

 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

FISCAL YEARS 2011 AND 2010

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We launched our first MyStudio in Scottsdale, Arizona in September 2008 and have since opened studios in Nashville, Tennessee, Honolulu, Hawaii, Denver, Colorado and Kansas City, Kansas.  We also located a studio in Hollywood, California which is used to showcase MyStudio to the music and entertainment industry.

Our business model currently generates revenues from four primary sources:

 
·
Paid user fees from customers who utilize the studios to create an audio/video recording;
 
·
Advertising revenue from the external monitors located on each MyStudio facility;
 
·
Paid service fees for the use of the AfterMaster technology; and
 
·
Advertising revenue from its website.

The revenues from each of the first two of these sources is expected to increase proportionally to the number of studios we place in operation.   The revenue from advertising on the website will depend on the number and length of visits to our website by MyStudio users and other viewers.  Revenues from AfterMaster services for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 resulted primarily from audio services provided to producers and artists on a contract basis.  This source of revenue is expected to grow in coming years, and the Company is expecting to generate additional revenues from pay-per-play downloads.
 
Our business plan calls for the establishment of regular events and contests to drive traffic to our studios and this assumption was confirmed by a marked increase in studio traffic when contests and promotions have been offered.  In late December 2008, we finalized two important multi-year partnerships with Mark Burnett Productions for reality TV casting and The GRAMMY Foundation for auditions for various GRAMMY Foundation programs.  During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, we hosted a variety of contests and auditions.
 
We launched MyStudio nationally with The X Factor auditions in April 2011 under a multi-year agreement, as described herein. We finalized new multi-year music licensing agreements with Universal Music Publishing Group and Sony/ATV Music Publishing enabling us to expand the music catalog available to our users. MyStudio hosted exclusive auditions for the nationally televised talent show See Me Get Famous TV and partnered with London's famed Crack Comedy Club for an international stand-up comedy contest. We expect to continue to enter into partnerships with other high profile entertainment companies, so we can offer consumers an ongoing variety of contests to ensure steady studio traffic.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. - continued
 
Total other costs and expenses increase in the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011 by $1,981,657 compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to an increase of approximately $2,160,705 in professional fees.  Of this increase, approximately $741,000 is due to an increase in issuances of common stock and warrants issued for services.  Our general operating expenses also increased with the launch of two new studios and the relocation of four studios to new markets in fiscal year 2011.

Due to our cash position, we use our Common Stock as currency to pay many employees, vendors and consultants.  Once we have raised additional capital from outside sources, as well as generated cash flows from operations, we expect to reduce the use of such stock as a primary means of compensation. We elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option based awards under FASB ASC 718 consistent with that used for pro-forma disclosures under FASB ASC 718, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

 
Other Income and Expenses

The other income and expenses, totaling $1,794,156 of net expenses, is a combination of interest expense ($982,664), other income ($3,906), gains from the disposal of property ($73,502) and losses on the extinguishment of debt ($888,900). In order to extinguish outstanding liabilities and free up the Company’s cash flow from future debt payments, the Company issued Common Stock at a discounted rate, resulting in non-cash losses on conversion.  This freed up cash flow allowed us to open new locations.

The increase in the net loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was due to the factors listed above, mainly an increase in professional fees from the issuance of stock for services, losses due to the conversion of debt for common shares, the relocation of four studios plus the addition of two new studios for the X-Factor auditions, and the increase in operating expenses to accommodate the new locations.

We have accumulated approximately $15.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes as of June 30, 2011, which we believe may be offset against future taxable income through 2031.  The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on several factors including the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards.  In the event of certain changes in control, there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards which can be used.  No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011 because the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards is offset by valuation allowance of the same amount.

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had limited revenue during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

Historically, we have met our financial needs through debt financing and through the sales and issuances of its securities and by the issuance of securities to employees, consultants, vendors and service providers.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, we undertook several sales of non-registered securities in a series of private transactions.  
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, we issued 1,847,501 unregistered restricted shares of Common Stock at an average price of $0.54 per share for a total of $1,001,912 and 1,187,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share for a total of $1,187,000.  We also agreed to issue 338,532 shares of Common Stock pursuant to warrants granted to various employees, consultants, and vendors, which may be exercised at varying times ranging from two to ten years at an average exercise price of $0.53 per share.  In addition, we issued 1,322,182 shares of Common Stock for consulting, legal and other services valued at $1,616,999, 206,099 shares of Common Stock in conversion of preferred shares, and 1,232,452 shares of Common Stock in conversion of debt valued at $702,280.   During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, warrant holders exercised various options for 351,983 shares of Common Stock for a total of $129,567, an average of $0.37 per share.  All such shares issued were subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.  The securities were sold only to persons who met the accredited investor requirements and other requirements set forth in the respective offering memoranda.
 
Based on our current plans, we have determined that the funds currently available to us will be inadequate to completely implement the business plan of the Company.  In addition, we are unable to provide assurance that its planned levels of revenue, costs and expenses will be achieved.  Until we have achieved a sales level sufficient to break-even, the Company will not be self-sustaining.  We will require additional funding for continued operations and will therefore be dependent upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowing, equity or debt financing, or asset sales. We expect to need to access the public and private equity or debt markets periodically to obtain the funds we need to support our operations and continued growth.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to us.  If we require, but are unable to obtain, additional financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, we will not be able to continue our business strategy, respond to changing business or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results or compete effectively.  If we cannot obtain needed funds, we may be forced to curtail, in whole or in part, or cease its activities altogether.  If additional shares are issued to obtain financing, current shareholders will suffer a dilutive effect on their percentage of stock ownership in the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. - continued
 
Although we intend to engage in a subsequent equity offering of our securities to raise additional working capital for operations, we have no firm commitments for any additional funding, either debt or equity,  at the present time.  Insufficient financial resources may require us to delay or eliminate all or some of its marketing and sales plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by us will result in a profitable business proposed by the Company.  

 
Going Concern
 
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, includes an explanatory paragraph indicating substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  We have an accumulated deficit of $29,672,287 and working capital deficit of $901,289 as of June 30, 2011.  We have generated limited revenues in the last two fiscal years.  Our ability to establish the Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing in order to fund our planned operations and ultimately to achieve profitable operations.
 
 
Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of numerous pending patents and applications for trademarks. Generally a patent has a life of 17 to 20 years, but we believe the estimated useful lives of our patents are the 17 years allowed by law.
 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 
Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the following policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that future actual results will not differ from those estimates. The effect of these policies on our business operations is discussed below where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

Fair Value Measurements.  ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

Cash is the Company's only financial asset or liability required to be recognized at fair value and is measured using quoted prices for active markets for identical assets (Level 1 fair value hierarchy).  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for notes receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. 
 
Income Taxes.  

As of July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the new accounting principles as required by ASC 740, Income Taxes, as it relates to accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 also provides guidance on financial statement classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods and new disclosure requirements. Under ASC 740, tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In the year of adoption, the cumulative effect of applying ASC 740 is accounted for as a change in accounting principle via an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit). There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company did not recognize an increase in the liability for unrecognized benefits.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. - continued
 
The Company initially recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Prior to adopting ASC 740, the Company estimated tax liabilities to the extent the tax uncertainties were probable and could be reasonably estimated.

The Company’s policy is to recognize both interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits expected to result in payment of cash within one year are classified as accrued liabilities, while those expected beyond one year are classified as other liabilities. The Company has not recorded any interest and penalties since its inception.

The Company files U.S. federal and Arizona income tax returns. Our major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and the State of Arizona and are subject to tax examinations for the open years from 2006 through 2010.

Revenue Recognition. The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to goods and services provided when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company's revenues are generated from the studio sessions, on-studio advertising, website advertising and fees generated from the AfterMaster services.  Studio sessions are included in revenues as cash sales or barter transactions.  Cash sales are recognized as revenue upon the earlier of the use of or expiration of the prepaid session.  Barter revenues are recognized as stated below.

Barter Transactions - Barter revenue relates to recording session services provided by the Company to business customers in exchange for products and services that Studio One would otherwise be required to buy for cash. Barter expenses reflect the expense offset to barter revenue. The amount of barter revenue and expense is recorded at the estimated fair value of the services received or the services provided, whichever is more objectively determinable, in the month the services and advertising are exchanged.  The Company applies ASC 845, Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions and, accordingly, recognizes advertising barter revenues only to the extent that it has similar cash transactions within a period not to exceed six months prior to the date of the barter transaction.

To date, the amount of barter revenue to be recognized has been more objectively determinable based on the value of products or services received rather than based upon the value of advertising provided.  For revenue from recording sessions services provided for cash to be considered similar to the recording session services provided in barter transactions, the services rendered must have been in the same media and similar term as the barter transaction.

Intangible Assets.  Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, website costs and video backgrounds.  Website costs are costs incurred to develop the Company’s website and website costs are being amortized over the estimated useful life of 5 years. Video backgrounds are the costs incurred to develop video backgrounds for use in the Company’s studios. The video background costs are being amortized over the estimated useful life of 5 years.  The Company’s intellectual property includes purchased patents and trademarks as well as other proprietary technologies.  The cost of these are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets.   Long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of undiscounted future net cash flows of the assets over the remaining useful lives in determining whether the carrying value of the assets is recoverable. If the carrying values of the assets exceed the expected future cash flows of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying values of the assets and their estimated fair values. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other groups of assets. The evaluation of long-lived assets requires the Company to use estimates of future cash flows. However, actual cash flows may differ from the estimated future cash flows used in these impairment tests. As of June 30, 2011, management does not believe any of the Company’s assets were impaired.

Research and Development Costs.   The Company follows the policy of expensing its research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Accounting for Research and Development Costs. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $29,189and $5,508 during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation.   The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock based compensation.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for at fair value and are marked to market until service is complete or a performance commitment date is reached, whichever is earlier.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 have been audited to the extent indicated in the report by SingerLewak, LLP, independent certified public accountants, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and pursuant to Regulation S-X as promulgated by the SEC.  

The aforementioned financial statements are presented in a separate section of this Report following Part IV.

 
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

Our auditor for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was the firm of SingerLewak, LLP, 10960 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 700, Los Angeles, CA  90024, who were engaged on August 17, 2010.

During the two most recent fiscal years, there were no disagreements with SingerLewak on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of SingerLewak for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. There were no adverse opinions, disclaimers of opinions, or qualifications or modifications as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. 

 
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.  The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.

 The Certifying Officers responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms.
 
The Certifying Officers based their conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified material weaknesses in controls over financial reporting, detailed below.  In order to reduce the impact of these weaknesses to an acceptable level, hawse have contracted with consultants with expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting standards to review and compile all financial information prior to filing that information with the SEC.  However, even with the added expertise of these consultants, we still expect to be deficient in our internal controls over disclosure and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting staff and individuals with requisite GAAP and SEC financial reporting knowledge.  There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Management used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by COSO to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to make that evaluation.  As of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company had identified deficiencies in internal controls that constituted material weaknesses in internal controls. Due to these material weaknesses, management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 were ineffective, based on COSO’s framework.  

The deficiencies are attributed to the fact that the Company does not have adequate resources to address complex accounting issues, as well as an inadequate number of persons to whom it can segregate accounting tasks within the Company so as to ensure the segregation of duties between those persons who approve and issue payment from those persons who are responsible to record and reconcile such transactions within the Company’s accounting system.  These control deficiencies will be monitored and attention will be given to the matter as we continue to accelerate through our current growth stage.

Management has concluded that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness that continued throughout fiscal year 2011.  In order to reduce the impact of these weaknesses to an acceptable level, we have contracted with consultants with expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting standards to review and compile all financial information prior to filing that information with the SEC.  However, even with the added expertise of these consultants, we still expect to be deficient in our internal controls over disclosure and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting staff and individuals with requisite GAAP and SEC financial reporting knowledge.  There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that occurred during our most recent fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report does not include attestation reports of the Company’s registered public accounting firms regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to each person who is or was a director, officer or agent of the Company, or who serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of the Company (an “Indemnitee”).  Under Delaware law, to the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the merits of a suit or proceeding brought against him or her by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer or agent of the Company, or serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of the Company, the Company will indemnify him or her against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action.  If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit, or if such a suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law against both (i) expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and (ii) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his other conduct was unlawful.  If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the right of the Company, where the suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law only against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of the suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company except that if the Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, he or she cannot be made whole even for expenses unless a court determines that he or she is fully and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses.  Also under Delaware law, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the suit, action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  The Company may also advance expenses incurred by other employees and agents of the Company upon such terms and conditions, if any, that the Board of Directors of the Company deems appropriate.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in Delaware law and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - continued
 
On July 21, 2009, the Company approved a Directors and Officers Indemnity Agreement for its directors and principal officers.  It has since entered into agreements with Messrs. Barry M. Goldwater, Preston J. Shea, Kenneth R. Pinckard, Lawrence G. Ryckman, Sheldon Yakus, Matthew Long and Anna L. Madrid.  Subsequently, we entered into a similar agreement with James A. Jacobs and Frank Perrotti, Jr.  A copy of the Directors and Officers Indemnity Agreement was attached as an exhibit to our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, filed October 15, 2009.

 
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of the Registrant’s equity securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of the Registrant’s equity securities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Registrant with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Registrant during or with respect to fiscal 2011, and certain written representations from executive officers and directors, the Registrant is aware that the Directors and certain officers have inadvertently failed to file Forms 3 and 4 at the time of their respective election to the Board or appointment as an officer.  Except as stated in the preceding sentence, the Company believes that all Reporting Persons have complied on a timely basis with all filing requirements applicable to them.  

 
Code of Ethics

The Company maintains a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that was filed as Exhibit 14 with its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2004 filed on November 15, 2004.  The Code applies to the Chief Executive, financial and accounting officers, controller and persons performing similar functions.  If the Company amends the Code or grants a waiver from the Code with respect to the foregoing persons, it will post that amendment or waiver on its website.

Change in Control

The Company is not aware of any arrangements which may result in a change in control of the Company.

 
Equity Compensation Plans

As of June 30, 2010 our equity compensation plans were as follows:

2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan

On June 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”).  The purpose of the 2009 Plan was to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging and enabling acquisition of a financial interest in the Company by employees and other key individuals.  The 2009 Plan was intended to aid the Company in attracting and retaining key employees, to stimulate the efforts of such individuals and to strengthen their desire to remain with the Company.  A maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock was reserved for issuance under stock options to be issued under the 2009 Plan.  The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Statutory Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards.  The 2009 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or, at its direction, the Compensation Committee comprised of officers of the Company.   As of June 30, 2011, the Company had granted options to fifteen employees to purchase, in the aggregate, 727,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The exercise period for each of the grants was two to five years from the date of grant and the average exercise price was $0.88.  During the year ended June 30, 2010, one employee exercised the option to purchase 28,571 shares for $10,000.  During the year ended June 30, 2011, one employee exercised the option to purchase 20,000 shares for $10,400, or $0.52 per share.  The number of unexercised, outstanding options at June 30, 2011 was 678,429, at an average exercise price of $0.86 per share.
 
 
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Other than as disclosed below, none of the Company’s present directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of the Company’s information and belief, any of its former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect the Company.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2006, a related party loaned the Company $93,948; during the year ended June 30, 2007, this party loaned an additional $43,400 to the Company.  These funds were used to further the research and development program of the Company.  During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company repaid $40,566 of these loans.  At June 30, 2007, the amount owed with regard to these obligations was $96,782.  These loans were demand notes, to be repaid at ten percent interest.   During the year ended June 30, 2008, the related party loaned the Company an additional $25,000.  The Company repaid $24,465.  On December 31, 2008, the balance owing to this related party was reduced to a single convertible promissory note payable bearing interest at 10% per annum and due on demand.  The original principal amount of this note was $101,591.  In addition, on December 31, 2008, the Company issued a second convertible promissory note in the amount of $100,000 to the same related party as partial compensation for services rendered in 2008.  At June 30, 2009, the amount owed this party, including interest was $211,587.  During the year ended June 30, 2010, the two convertible promissory notes were converted to Common Stock according to the terms of the respective notes with the Company thereby issuing 456,653 shares of restricted Common Stock in extinguishment of indebtedness totaling $215,067.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, a related party, through affiliated entities, loaned $40,000 to the Company which was repaid, with interest at 10%, on July 1, 2011.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the same related party loaned an additional $20,000 in two separate transactions.  Both of these loans were repaid, with interest at 10% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, and the Company owes no amounts to such party as of June 30, 2011 for those loans made to the Company.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, another party who subsequently became a related party, loaned $250,000 to the Company pursuant to an agreement whereby the Company issued a three-year promissory note bearing interest at 12% per annum, and including a provision allowing the noteholder, at its option, to convert the debt to shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at an agreed price of $0.50 per share.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the same party advanced three additional loans to the Company each in the amount of $250,000, for a total of $750,000, on similar terms and conditions.  On April 1, 2011, this related party loaned the Company an additional $250,000 as a short-term, 90-day loan, with provisions for extension.  This loan was without interest during the initial term but bears interest at the rate of 15% after the initial 90-day term.  In lieu of interest during the initial term of the loan, the Company issued a warrant to the noteholder to purchase 30,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at a price of $0.60, for every 30-days that the note remains unpaid.  The total amount owing this related party at June 30, 2011 was $1,250,000 which is secured by first priority liens on the Company’s first ten studios.  Subsequent to June 30, 2011, in September 2011, this same related party advanced an additional $200,000 as an additional short-term 90-day loan, secured by liens on Studios 11 and 12 when completed, and bearing no interest during the initial 90-day term.  In lieu of interest during the first 90-days of the term of this second short-term loan, the Company issued the noteholder a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of 5 years, for each 30-days, or portion thereof, the loan remains unpaid.  In the event this note is not repaid when due, it bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum until paid.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS - continued
 
Future Transactions

All future affiliated transactions are expected to be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. A majority of the independent, disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors are asked to approve future affiliated transactions. The Company believes that of the transactions described above have been on terms at least as favorable to it as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties as a result of arm’s length negotiations.

 
Conflicts of Interest

In accordance with the laws applicable to the Company, its Directors are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company’s best interests. In the event that a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board of Directors, a Director who has such a conflict is expected to disclose the nature and extent of his interest to those present at the meeting and to abstain from voting for or against the approval of the matter in which he has a conflict.

 
Director Independence

Our Common Stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board.  As such, we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards of listed companies, which require, among other things, that the majority of the board of directors be independent.

Since we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards relating to the independence of our directors, we choose to define an “independent” director in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market’s requirements for independent directors (NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200).  The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that a director is not an employee of the company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the company.

Barry M. Goldwater, Jr. and Frank Perrotti, Jr. are independent directors under the above definition.  We do not list that definition on our Company’s website.

We presently do not have a compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee of our Board of Directors, stock plan committee or any other committees, except for an Audit Committee.

ITEM 14 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES. - continued
 
No “audit-related,” “tax” and “all other” services in 2011 or 2010, as defined above, were approved by the Audit Committee in reliance on the de minimus exception to the preapproval requirements under federal securities laws and regulations.

 
Pre-Approval of Services of Principal Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee’s written policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by Registrant’s principal accounting firm (independent auditor).  These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other permissible non-audit services.  Any service incorporated within the independent auditor’s engagement letter, which is approved by the Audit Committee, is deemed pre-approved.  Any service identified as to type and estimated fee in the independent auditor’s written annual service plan, which is approved by the Audit Committee, is deemed pre-approved up to the dollar amount provided in such annual service plan.

During the year, the principal accounting firm may also provide additional accounting research and consultation services required by, and incident to, the audit of Registrant’s financial statements and related reporting compliance. These additional audit-related services are pre-approved up to the amount approved in the annual service plan approved by the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee may also pre-approve services on a case-by-case basis during the year.

The Audit Committee’s approval of proposed services and fees are noted in the meeting minutes of the Audit Committee and/or by signature of the Audit Committee on the engagement letter.  The principal accounting firm of Registrant and management are periodically requested to summarize the principal accounting firm services and fees paid to date, and management is required to report whether the principal accounting firm’s services and fees have been pre-approved in accordance with the required pre-approval process of the Audit Committee.

 
Non-Audit Services
 
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the Registrant’s principal accountants is compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Studio One Media, Inc.
Scottsdale, Arizona

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Studio One Media, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Studio One Media, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has historically suffered recurring losses from operations, has a substantial accumulated deficit and has limited revenues. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business
Studio One Media, Inc. (the “Company” or “Studio One”) was originally organized in Delaware on May 12, 1988, as Dimensional Visions Group, Ltd. The name was changed on January 15, 1998 to Dimensional Visions Incorporated. On February 8, 2006, it changed its name to Elevation Media, Inc., and on March 28, 2006 the Company’s name was changed to Studio One Media, Inc. as part of its overall plan to implement its revised business plan.

In April 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase MyStudio, Inc. (formerly known as Studio One Entertainment, Inc.), a private Scottsdale, Arizona based company that designed and manufactured a proprietary (patents pending), self-contained interactive audio/video recording studio designed for installation in shopping malls and other high traffic public areas (the “MyStudio Agreement”).  MyStudio enables the public, for a fee, to record their video and voice images in a portable state-of-the-art recording studio environment and enter their performances in music, modeling and other talent related contests.

On April 17, 2007, the Company announced that it had finalized the reverse merger of MyStudio Inc. through an all-stock transaction. The purchase was pursuant to an agreement entered into by the companies dated March 29, 2006. The reverse merger included the exchange of 7,000,000 restricted Common Shares of Studio One Media, Inc. for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MyStudio, Inc.   The substance of the transaction resulted in a reverse merger wherein MyStudio Inc. became the accounting acquirer of Studio One.  Therefore, historical financial data reflects the operations and accumulated deficit of MyStudio Inc.  The transaction essentially is a recapitalization of MyStudio, Inc. The reverse merger includes all right, title and interest to MyStudio Inc.'s proprietary interactive recording studios, business plan and intellectual property, including pending patents, foreign patent rights and federal trademark applications.  MyStudio, Inc. continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Studio One.  Accordingly, the financial statements present on a consolidated basis the operations of Studio One and MyStudio Inc.

Accounting Basis
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The Company has elected a June 30 fiscal year end.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Studio One Media, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are made in relation to the allowance for doubtful accounts and the fair value of certain financial instruments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes and Other Receivables
Notes and other receivables are stated at amounts management expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for uncollectible receivables based upon management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at each reporting period considering historical experience and customer credit quality and delinquency status.  Delinquency status is determined by contractual terms.  Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
 
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, notes and other receivables, accounts payable and notes payable.  The carrying amounts of cash, notes and other receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

The financial instrument assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2011 are as follows:
 
Description

    90,000       -       -       90,000  
    $ 654,655     $ -     $ -     $ 654,655  

Market prices are not available for the Company's loans due to related parties or its other notes payable, nor are market prices of similar loans available. The Company determined that the fair value of the notes payable based on its amortized cost basis due to the short term nature and current borrowing terms available to the Company for these instruments.

The method described above may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. If a readily determined market values became available or if actual performance were to vary appreciably from assumptions used, assumptions may need to be adjusted, which could result in material differences from the recorded carrying amounts. The Company believes its method of determining fair value is appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

The Company is also required periodically to measure certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including long-lived assets, including intangible assets. The Company determined the fair value used in the impairment analysis with its own discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has determined the inputs used in such analysis as Level 3 inputs. The Company did not record any impairment charges on long-lived assets as no significant events requiring non-financial assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value occurred during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash.  Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States.  The Company occasionally maintains amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limits. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions.

For the year ended June 30, 2011 there were no customers that accounted for a material portion of total revenues.  For the year ended June 30, 2010, one customer accounted for 24.4% of total revenues.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment:

Description
Useful Lives
Office Equipment and Computers
5 years
Computer Software
5 years
Furniture and Office Equipment
5 years
Vehicles
5 years
Leasehold Improvements
Shorter of Useful Life or Lease Term
Studios
5 years

Expenditures associated with upgrades and enhancements that improve, add functionality, or otherwise extend the life of property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures that do not, such as repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred.

Property and Equipment Yet to be Placed in Service
The Company capitalizes direct costs associated with the production of a new studio as it is being built.  Depreciation of these assets does not begin until the studio is complete and placed into service.

Prepaid Royalties
On July 1, 209, the Company entered into a royalty agreement wherein the Company received rights to use various songs in its studios in exchange for a royalty fee per song use.  The Company prepaid $50,000 for the royalty rights through June 30, 2012.  The prepaid royalties are amortized monthly on a per song basis, per the agreement.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, website costs and video backgrounds. The Company’s intellectual property includes purchased patents and trademarks as well as other proprietary technologies.  Website costs are costs incurred to develop the Company’s website. Video backgrounds are the costs incurred to develop video backgrounds for use in the Company’s recording studios. The Company amortizes intangible assets over the following useful lives:

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of undiscounted future net cash flows of the assets over the remaining useful lives in determining whether the carrying value of the assets is recoverable. If the carrying values of the assets exceed the expected future cash flows of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying values of the assets and their estimated fair values. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other groups of assets. The evaluation of long-lived assets requires the Company to use estimates of future cash flows. However, actual cash flows may differ from the estimated future cash flows used in these impairment tests. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, management does not believe any of the Company’s long-lived assets were impaired.

Revenue Recognition
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to goods and services provided when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company's revenues are generated from the studio sessions, on-studio advertising, website advertising and fees generated from the AfterMaster services.  Studio sessions are included in revenues as cash sales or barter transactions.  Cash sales are recognized as revenue upon the earlier of the use of or expiration of the prepaid session.  Barter revenues are recognized as stated below.

Barter Transactions - Barter revenue relates to recording session services provided by Studio One to business customers in exchange for products and services that Studio One would otherwise be required to buy for cash. Barter expenses reflect the expense offset to barter revenue. The amount of barter revenue and expense is recorded at the estimated fair value of the services received or the services provided, whichever is more objectively determinable, in the month the services and advertising are exchanged.  Studio One applies ASC 845, Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions and, accordingly, recognizes advertising barter revenues only to the extent that Studio One has similar cash transactions within a period not to exceed six months prior to the date of the barter transaction.

To date, the amount of barter revenue to be recognized has been more objectively determinable based on the value of products or services received rather than based upon the value of advertising provided.  For revenue from recording sessions services provided for cash to be considered similar to the recording session services provided in barter transactions, the services rendered must have been in the same media and similar term as the barter transaction.

During the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $412,050 and $152,929, respectively, of revenue from barter transactions.  Barter transaction revenue is included within the session revenue and advertising revenue captions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cost of Sales
The Company’s cost of sales includes studio lease expense, employee costs, and other nominal amounts.  Depreciation is not included within cost of sales.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
 
Research and Development
The Company follows the policy of expensing its research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Accounting for Research and Development Costs. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $29,189 and $5,508 during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expenses were $146,956 and $5,508 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 the Company also incurred approximately $412,050 and $152,929 in advertising expenses, which is included in its cost of barter expenses, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of share-based compensation.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for at fair value and are marked to market until service is complete or a performance commitment date is reached, whichever is earlier.

Loss Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per Common Share is computed by dividing losses attributable to Common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The losses attributable to Common Stockholder is increased by accrued and deemed dividends on Preferred Stock during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 of $547,907 and $85,748, respectively.

Diluted earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted-average number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional Shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding convertible Preferred Stock, stock options, warrants, and convertible debt. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

For the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, all of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities (warrants, options, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.  The total number of potentially dilutive shares that were excluded was 12,267,846 and 5,418,130 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

In July, 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. ASC 740 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties.  Under this pronouncement, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that a position would more likely than not be sustained based upon its technical merit if challenged by the relevant taxing authority and taken by management to the court of the last resort. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. ASC 740 became effective for the Company as of July 1, 2008 and had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
 
The Company’s policy is to recognize both interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits expected to result in payment of cash within one year are classified as accrued liabilities, while those expected beyond one year are classified as other liabilities. The Company has not recorded any interest and penalties since its inception.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. The tax years for 2006 to 2010 remain open for federal and/or state tax jurisdictions. The Company is currently not under examination by any other tax jurisdictions for any tax years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 to amend and simplify tests for goodwill impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test.  The amendments in ASU 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 to amend the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurement to (1) clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and (2) change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The primary purpose of the amendments are to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company's 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 liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $29,671,854 and currently has revenues which are insufficient to covering its operating costs which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern.

The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to (1) obtain sufficient capital contributions and/or financing as may be required to sustain its operations and (2) to achieve adequate revenues from its MyStudio and AfterMaster businesses. Management's plan to address these issues includes, (a) continued exercise of tight cost controls to conserve cash, (b) obtaining additional financing, and (c) place in service additional personal recording kiosks.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a financing agreement with an unrelated third party to fund up to $1,000,000 in four equal increment tranches in exchange for the Company issuing convertible note at each tranche with a conversion rate of $0.50 as well as 50,000 shares of warrants, with a contractual life of 5 years, to purchase the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share. The proceeds of each advance by the lender to the Company are to be used to manufacture, ship, install and operate MyStudios, which serve as collateral for such advance. Each advance is evidenced by a promissory note, bearing interest at 12% per annum and due in 3 years from the advance dates, and a security agreement granting the lender a first lien on specified studios. As noted above, the principal and interest on these notes may be converted at the lender’s option into Common Stock based on a conversion price of fifty cents ($0.50) per share.  At June 30, 2011, the lender had advanced a total of $1,000,000 under this financing agreement, and the Company granted 200,000 warrants to the lender.  The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature and the debt discount associated with the warrants issued in connection with the convertible debts were recorded based on the relative fair value of the warrants in relation to the debt in accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2.  The total initial beneficial conversion feature recorded for all four tranches equaled $827,271 whereas the warrants, which were valued using a Black-Scholes valuation model, resulted in an initial total debt discount of $140,429.  The initial recorded beneficial conversion feature and debt discounts for Tranche III included in the above amounts were subsequently adjusted to reflect the modification of the terms embedded in the host debt.

On August 2010, the Company issued a convertible note for $250,000 under the above $1,000,000 financing agreement (Tranche III).  The note contained a conversion rate feature, and included a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share, exercisable for 5 years pursuant to the umbrella financing agreement discussed above.  The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $186,350 and a debt discount for $31,350, for a total discount of $217,700, relating to this financing transaction.  Moreover, in connection with the Tranche III funding, the Company also issued to the lender an option, embedded in the convertible note and at the lender’s discretion, to put the converted Common Stock back to the Company at $0.60 per share.  The embedded put option was evaluated and deemed to not meet the definition of a derivative and as such, was not bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative.  Subsequent to the origination of the Tranche III, the Company then provided to the lender four separate amendments in which at each amendment, the maturity date of the put option was extended.

For Amendment 1, the Company extended the maturity date of the put option with no consideration given to the lender.  For amendments two through four, the Company issued to the lender and its agent additional warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company.

For Amendment 2 which occurred on November 15, 2010, the Company issued to the lender and its agent, warrants with contractual lives of 5 years to purchase 25,000 and 10,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.40 per share.  The fair value of these warrants issued was $18,558 and $7,423, respectively, and was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

For Amendment 3 which occurred on November 22, 2010, the Company issued to the lender and its agent additional warrants with a contractual lives of 5 years to purchase 25,000 and 10,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.40 per share.  The fair value of these warrants issued was $21,182 and $8,473, respectively, and was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

For Amendment 4 which occurred on December 7, 2010, the Company issued to the lender and its agent warrants with contractual lives of 5 year to purchase 50,000 and 25,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.40 per share.  The fair value of these warrants issued was $43,843 and $21,922, respectively, and was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The Company evaluated each of the amendments under ASC 470-50, Debt - Modification and Extinguishment, and concluded that while Amendments 1 and 2 were not deemed to be significant, Amendments 3 and 4 resulted in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in extinguishment of the debt.

The extinguishment loss related to each of the amendments is summarized below:

First Amendment – October 29, 2010
$0
Second Amendment – November 15, 2010
$0
Third Amendment – November 22, 2010
$234,802
Fourth Amendment – December 7, 2010
$263,843
Total
$498,645

The above extinguishment losses are recorded in other income and expense section of the statement of operations.

On December 2010, the Company issued a convertible note for $250,000 under the above financing agreement for $1,000,000 (Tranche IV).  The note contained a conversion rate feature and issued a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share exercisable for 5 years pursuant to the umbrella financing agreement discussed.  The Company calculated the Black-Scholes value of the warrant and recorded the warrant and intrinsic beneficial conversion feature value based on their relative fair value.  The Company notes that the calculated amount exceeded the face amount of the note and as such the allocated amount of the debt discount and beneficial conversion feature was limited to the face amount of the note.  Hence, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $212,621 and a debt discount for $37.379 for this financing transaction.

On November 2010, the Company issued convertible notes to three unrelated individuals for a total of $132,500.  The notes bear interest at12% per annum and mature six month from the origination date.  The notes are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at $0.65 per share.  The Company calculated a total intrinsic beneficial conversion feature value of $48,923 for these three convertible notes which were amortized over the life of the notes.  These three notes were all converted into Common Stock at the maturity date pursuant to the original conversion terms.

In June 2011, the Company issued a convertible note to an unrelated individual for $100,000 that matures in December 2011.  The note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and is convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share.  The Company calculated the intrinsic beneficial conversion feature value of $80,000 which will be amortized over the life of the note.

On September 2010, the Company entered into a short-term one month financing agreement with an unrelated individual for $50,000 with a maturity date of October 2010.  There were no conversion features provided or warrants issued in connection with this transaction.  On the maturity date of the loan, the Company and the lender agreed to extend the maturity date for one additional month to November 30, 2010, and in consideration for the extension, the Company issued to the lender a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 and a contractual life of 3 years.  The Company evaluated the modification of the maturity extension and the issuance of the warrant as consideration for the extension provided under ASC 470-50, Debt - Modification and Extinguishment, and concluded the modification was significant and resulted in an extinguishment of the debt.  The loss on the extinguishment was calculated to be $9,500 and is recorded in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.

Upon maturity of the note on November 30, 2010, the Company and the lender agreed to extend the maturity date for a second time to March 31, 2011.  In consideration for this second extension of the maturity date, the Company issued to the lender a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.55 and contractual life of 5 years.  The Company evaluated the modification of the maturity extension and the issuance of the warrant as consideration for the extension under ASC 470-50, Debt - Modification and Extinguishment, and concluded the modification was significant and resulted in an extinguishment of the debt.  The loss on the extinguishment was calculated to be $89,000 and is recorded in other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.

At maturity of the note on March 31, 2011, the Company and the lender agreed to extinguish the full the outstanding amount of the principal and accrued interest ($52,016) of the debt in exchange for 104,033 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The fair market value of the Common Stock issued to the lender for full settlement of the outstanding principal and interest balances on the debt was $144,606.  The difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock issued and the outstanding balances of the principal and interest on the debt was recorded as debt extinguishment loss for approximately $95,000 and is recorded in other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.

The activity surrounding the issuances of the Preferred Stock is as follows: 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company issued 1,187,000 and 96,429 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for $1,165,712 and $60,750 in cash, net of $21,288 and $6,750 of issuance costs, respectively.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, these shares, and the dividends accrued thereon, were converted into 206,099 shares of Common Stock.  In conjunction with this issuance, the Company recognized an associated beneficial conversion feature based on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares into Common Shares at a ratio of 2 to 1.  This resulted in an effective exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The value of the BCF was determined based on the stock price on the day of commitment, the number of convertible shares, and the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair value of the Common Stock on the dates of issuance and is capped  at the face value of the offering, in this case $1,187,000. The conversion feature was recorded in additional paid-in capital and the Preferred Stock was accreted to face value over six months, the first date the note holder could convert the security.  As of June 30, 2011, remaining unamortized BCF was $413,672.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, these shares, and the dividends accrued thereon, were converted into 196,782 shares of Common Stock.  In conjunction with this issuance, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) based on the conversion ratio of 2 Preferred Shares for each Common .  Adding the BCF resulted in an effective exercise price of $0.35 per share.  The value of the BCF was determined based on the stock price on the day of commitment, the number of convertible shares, and the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair value of the Common Stock on the dates of issuance.  The  BCF value is capped  at the face value of the offering which in this case was $67,500. The BCF was recorded in additional paid-in capital and the Preferred Stock was accreted to face value from the date of issuance through the first date the note holder could convert the security, which was six months,.  As of June 30, 2010 the BCF was fully amortized.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the outstanding Preferred Stock accumulated $21,300 in dividends; in fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 it accumulated $43,713 in dividends on outstanding Preferred Stock.  The cumulative dividends in arrears through June 30, 2011 were approximately $217,003.

NOTE 9 – STOCK PURCHASE OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

The Board of Directors on June 10, 2009 approved the 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan.  The purpose of the 2009 Long-term Stock Incentive Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging and enabling acquisition of a financial interest in the Company by employees and other key individuals.  The 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan is intended to aid the Company in attracting and retaining key employees, to stimulate the efforts of such individuals and to strengthen their desire to remain with the Company.  A maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock is reserved for issuance under stock options to be issued under the 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan.  The Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and restricted stock awards.  The 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or, at its direction, a Compensation Committee comprised of officers of the Company.

Through June 30, 2011, the Company granted options to employees to purchase in the aggregate 312,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The exercise period for the grants range from two to three years from the respective dates of the grants, and exercise prices ranged from $0.77 to $1.35.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the number of options exercised and cancelled were 20,000 and 51,000 shares, respectively.

Through June 30, 2010, the Company had granted options to employees to purchase, in the aggregate, 381,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The exercise periods for each of the grants range from two to three years from the date of grant, and the exercise price in each instance ranged from $0.35 to $0.80.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the number of options exercised was 28,571, while there were no cancellation of any options.

The fair value of each option award is calculated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on the Company’s historical volatility. The expected term is estimated via application of the simplified method set forth in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and historical information regarding employee attrition. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the stock options granted:

Included in the compensation expense with stock award for the year ended June 30, 2011 is $109,334 of additional compensation charges in connection with a modification of several outstanding stock awards where the contractual life of the award was extended by another 2 years and a cashless exercise provision was added to the contract.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES - continued
 
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting computed at the effective income tax rate. The Company has established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. At such time it is determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.

The Company files U.S. federal and Arizona income tax returns. Our major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and the State of Arizona and are subject to tax examinations for the open years from 2007 through 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $15.5 million and $15.5 million, respectively.  Such carryforwards may be used to reduce taxable income, if any, in future year subject to limitations of Section382 of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income and Arizona tax purposes.  The Company believes an ownership change may have occurred, as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which could result in the forfeiture of a significant portion of its net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company is not using any tax attributes in the current year, but will analyze whether a change occurred and the related impact on its gross deferred tax assets, if needed. As the Company's analysis is not complete, the impact to its gross deferred tax assets is uncertain.  If not utilized, the federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards will begin expiring in 2011.
 
NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings
 
The Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. In addition, from time to time, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against the Company in the form of letters and other forms of communication. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position and brand.  Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against it, at June 30, 2011, there are no legal proceedings which the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
 
Lease Agreements
 
Pursuant to a lease originally dated January, 2006, we currently occupy approximately 11,800 square feet of office space located at 7650 E. Evans Rd., Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona on a month-to-month basis.  The total lease expense is approximately $9,609 per month, payable in cash and Common Stock of the Company.

We lease space at mall locations for MyStudio generally pursuant to one-year leases. The monthly rent for these spaces is at market rates commensurate with other kiosk operations.  As we expand, we will continue to secure space for our recording studios at various venues and locations throughout the country.
 
Rent expense for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $483,112, of which $397,487 was paid in cash and $85,626 of which was paid in Common Stock.  Rent expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $329,379 paid in cash and Common Stock and $31,929 paid in barter and included in barter expense.
