AMERICAN SOUTHWEST MUSIC DISTRIBUTION, INC.

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS GL ENERGY AND EXPLORATION, INC.)

 (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE A - ADJUSTMENTS


In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments  necessary  for  a  fair  statement  of (a)  results  of operations  for the three month and six  month  periods  ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for the period from inception (July 1, 2004) to October 31, 2006, (b) the financial  position at October 31, 2006, (c) the  statements of cash flows for the six  month  periods ended  October 31,  2006 and 2005, respectively, for the period from inception (July 1, 2004) to October 31, 2006, and (d) the  changes  in stockholders'  equity for the six month  period ended October 31, 2006 and for the period from inception (July 1, 2004) to October 31, 2006  have been made.  The results of operations for the three months six months ended October 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


NOTE B – UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2006 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2006.


The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The liquidity of the Company has been adversely affected in recent years by significant losses from operations. As further discussed in Note 3, the Company incurred losses of $732,886 for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and losses for the period from the inception of their development stage (July 1, 2004) to October 31, 2006 of $2,804,406.


At October 31, 2006, the current consolidated Company has limited cash reserves, with its current liabilities exceeding its cash by $3,153,141.


The aforementioned financial condition indicates that the Company will have substantial difficulty meeting its financial obligations for the balance of this fiscal year.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Recently, operations have been funded by loans issued to officers and other related and unrelated parties and occasional issuances of common stock.


As further discussed below in Note 1, the Company was created to generate revenue through music licensing, recording, and distribution.  American Southwest acquired the rights to several music master catalogs for the purpose of generating revenues from the sale of records derived from these catalogs.   The Company is hopeful it will continue to be able to find sufficient financing until that time that it can begin its operations and continue as a going concern in its present form.    Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern in its present form.

AMERICAN SOUTHWEST MUSIC DISTRIBUTION, INC.

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS GL ENERGY AND EXPLORATION, INC.)

 (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS / ORGANIZATION


Nature of Business  


GL Energy and Exploration, Inc. (herein referred to as “GL Energy” the “Company”) was a development stage company with no business operations through March 2006.  GL Energy was incorporated in Delaware on October 7, 1998 under the name LRS Group Incorporated.  On October 15, 1998, the name was changed to LRS Capital, Inc.  On October 10, 2001, the company changed its name to GL Energy and Exploration, Inc.  GL Energy was traded on the OTC Bulletin board under the symbol “GEEX.OB.”    


Merger with American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc.


American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc. (herein referred to as “American Southwest” and the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Texas in May of 2004.  American Southwest remained inactive until it commenced development stage activity in July of 2004.  


American Southwest was created to generate revenue through music licensing, recording, and distribution.  American Southwest acquired the rights to several music master catalogs for the purpose of generating revenues from the sale of records derived from these catalogs.  The expansion and exploitation of its music catalog is an integral part of American Southwest’s business and growth strategy.  American Southwest owns a music catalog with 25 album masters, and intends to add to the music catalog through strategic and complementary acquisitions, licensing agreements, and by executing recording agreements with artists, production companies, and other record labels with new recordings.  


On March 13, 2006, American Southwest and GL Energy entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.  As part of the agreement GL Energy issued 22,500,000 shares of their $.001 par value common stock and 23,980 shares of their $.001 par value Series A convertible preferred stock to David Michery and Kent Puckett, the sole shareholders of American Southwest, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding $.001 par value common shares of American Southwest, totaling 4,294 shares.


Since GL Energy had no assets of substance prior to the transaction, for accounting purposes the acquisition has been treated as a merger of both companies and recapitalization of the shares of American Southwest, with GL Energy as the acquirer and American Southwest as the surviving entity (reverse acquisition).  The accounting rules for reverse acquisitions require that, beginning with the date of the acquisition (March 13, 2006), the balance sheet include the assets and liabilities of American Southwest and the equity accounts be recapitalized to reflect the net equity of American Southwest.  Accordingly, the historical operating results are now the operating results of American Southwest.  The historical development stage entity financial statements prior to March 13, 2006 are those of American Southwest.


On August 18, 2006 the State of Delaware approved the Company changing its name from “GL Energy and Exploration, Inc.” to “American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc.”  Effective August 24, 2006 the Company is now traded on the OTC Bulletin board under the symbol “ASWD.”  In addition, the Company effectuated a 1 for 74 reverse split of its common stock.

Financial Statement Presentation

Reclassifications  


Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


Use of Estimates  


In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statement of expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Principles of Consolidation  


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the two merged entities.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The cost basis in the music catalog is recorded at cost. Amortization will be computed using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 1 to 5 years.  Amortization will be recorded once revenues commence.


Rate of obsolescence

 

A number of the Music Catalogues date from contracts entered into from 1997 - 1998 that provide for a limited number of album or single release recordings and options for extension thereon.  Accordingly, there is a risk that the Music Catalogues owned by the Company are subject to competition from later releases by the artists through other entities besides the Company, as well as the risk of the passage of time on the salability on the masters owned by the Company.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Intangible Assets  

The Company reviews the carrying value of both its long-lived and other intangible assets annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. At October 31, 2006 the Company’s evaluation determined that no provision for impairment of either its other intangible assets (its “Music Library”) or its fixed assets was required at that date.

Income Taxes  

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered.  The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share  

The Company complies with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earning per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). SFAS No. 128 specifies the compilation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock or potentially common stock.  Net loss per common share, basic and diluted, is determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.   

Net loss per common share-diluted does not include potential convertible preferred shares (See Note 1).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Consideration of Other Comprehensive Income Items


SFAS 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income requires companies to present comprehensive income (consisting primarily of net income plus other direct equity changes and credits) and its components as part of the basic financial statements.  The Company's financial statements do not contain any changes in equity that are required to be reported separately in comprehensive income.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award.  This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123 (R) became effective for the interim period beginning July 1, 2005.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a significant impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions.”  The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.  Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement shall be applied prospectively and is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a significant impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.


In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” that applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement.  When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 will be effective for the Company for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred recurring net losses totaling $2,804,406 as a development stage entity for the period from inception (July 1, 2004) through October 31, 2006. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,198,627 and a deficiency in working capital of $3,153,141 as of October 31, 2006.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of stock or loan financing arrangements.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES


The Company incurred no federal income tax expense for the six months ended October 31, 2006 , and for the period from inception (July 1, 2004) to October 31, 2006.  The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available of $2,804,406 to offset future net income. Due to uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has placed a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset.  At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset is realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.  Furthermore, the net operating loss carry forward may be subject to further limitation pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.


The cumulative net operating loss carryforward will expire in accordance with the following schedule:

WRITE-OFF OF DEFERRED TRANSACTION COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH   TERMINATION OF UNSUCCESSFUL PRE-EXISTING MERGER AGREEMENT BETWEEN GL ENERGY AND AMERICAN SOUTHWEST


On March 10, 2006, GL Energy’s board of directors approved the termination of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of October 13, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of American Southwest’s outstanding shares were to be converted into shares of GL Energy’s capital stock, with American Southwest being the surviving corporation.  Although the Merger Agreement was executed, certain closing conditions were never satisfied, including the successful filing of a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and as such the merger was never consummated.  The Board of Directors of the Company deemed it in the best interest of GL Energy and its stockholders to terminate the Merger Agreement and to enter into the transaction described below.


During the year ended April 30, 2005 American Southwest incurred $183,900 of deferred transaction costs in connection with the transaction.  Below is a summary of the $183,900 of deferred transaction costs:

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)



(D)

LOSS INCURRED ON LEGAL SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF OF ENTITY FORMERLY OWNED BY SIGNIFICANT COMPANY STOCKHOLDER


In May 2005, Vestcom, Ltd. filed suit against American Southwest and its officers.  The lawsuit arose from a loan made by Vestcom on or about July 3, 2003 in the amount of $500,000 to American Music Corporation, Inc. (“AMC”).  Vestcom alleged that AMC fraudulently transferred its assets which principally included the Music Catalogue (“Subject Assets”) to Celestial, which was owned and controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, David Michery.  American Southwest contended that none of its assets previously belonged to AMC.


Vestcom, Ltd. was seeking not less than $1.2 million from all the defendants, including American Southwest, to be awarded ownership of all subject assets, punitive damages, and other remuneration.  


On July 12, 2006 American Southwest reached a settlement with Vestcom whereby American Southwest agreed to pay Vestcom as follow: $500,000, which represents the principal amount of the above loan made by Vestcom on or about July 3, 2003, plus interest thereon at the rate of 9.5% from July 3, 2003 through to the closing date of the settlement.  The closing date of the settlement was expected to be no later than September 15, 2006. In addition, American Southwest agreed to pay to Vestcom $360,000 as a supplemental damages payment and $250,000 for legal fees and expenses incurred by Vestcom. At October 31, 2006, the total amount reflected as liability for the legal settlement in the Balance Sheet is $1,268,333, which includes accrued interest to that date.  A commensurate loss has been reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the period from inception of the development stage (July 1, 2004) to October 31, 2006, since the Company is absorbing the loss on behalf of the entity formerly owned by David Michery.


Assuming the settlement closing had taken place as planned, American Southwest was to issue a promissory note to Vestcom which would bear interest at 9.5%.  The note was to be payable as follows: $150,000 payable at the closing date, which was to be applied to the final payments of interest on the note, $250,000 payable on or before January 1, 2007, and the balance of $1,102,772 payable in 8 equal installments paid quarterly in the amount of $137,847.


To date, the initial cash payment of $150,000 due to Vestcom at a closing, as contemplated under the current terms of the settlement, has not been made.   However, Company management is in the process of arranging payment through alternate mean, and Vestcom at this point has not seen good cause to act unfavorably under an Order of Dismissal granted subsequent to the Balance Sheet date in the United States District Court – Central District of California.


The note was also to be convertible in whole or in part at any time into American Southwest’s common stock at 90% of the average bid price for the 5 days immediately prior to conversion.  American Southwest was also to secure its obligation with a lien on all of its assets, which apparently would be junior in position to the obligation to Pegasus described in Note 5 above.  David Michery had agreed to personally guarantee this settlement should American Southwest breach any of its obligations.


The company’s ability to exploit the Music Catalogue received from Celestial is dependent on the Settlement closing taking place and the Company’s meeting the scheduled payments as due, in particular the $150,000 due at closing and the $250,000 due in January 1, 2007, unless the entire obligation is successfully refinanced.

NOTE 8 – STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


In 2004, the Board of Directors of GL Energy adopted a 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (‘the plan’) under which 35,000,000 shares of GL Energy’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present and/or potential contributions to GL Energy have been, or will be important to the success of GL Energy.


Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options.  Incentive stock options (“ISO”) may be granted only to GL Energy employees (including officers and directors who are also employees).  Nonqualified stock options (“NSO”) may be granted to GL Energy employees and consultants. Options under the Plan may be granted for periods of up to ten years and at an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that the exercise price of an ISO and NSO granted to a 10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant.  To date, options granted generally are exercisable immediately as of the effective date of the option agreement.  


During 2004, 3,000,000 one year options were granted to two consultants.  The exercise price was $.01 and all 3,000,000 vested immediately.  The options were exercised prior to the effective date of the merger and reflected in the pre-merged entities financial statements. No options were granted during 2006 or 2005 and there are no options outstanding at October 31, 2006.


NOTE 9 – EQUITY PERFORMANCE PLAN

NOTE 10 – AGREEMENTS WITH UNIVERSAL RECORDS

On January 25, 2006, American Southwest entered into an exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement (“Domestic Distribution Agreement”) with Universal Records, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc. (“Universal”). Pursuant to this agreement, Universal will sell American Southwest’s music products, including compact discs, cassettes, and digital versatile discs to consumers mainly through retailers and wholesalers in the United States and Canada.  During the term of the Domestic Distribution Agreement, Universal will be American Southwest’s exclusive manufacturer and distributor, through every distribution channel of recorded music in the United States and Canada.  Universal will also exclusively handle all of American Southwest’s on-line sales during the term of the Domestic Distribution Agreement.


In exchange for its distribution services, through normal retail channels, Universal is entitled to a distribution fee equal to twenty five percent (25%) of American Southwest’s net billings.  After the end of the calendar month, where American Southwest’s cumulative net billings exceed $8,000,000, Universal’s distribution fee will be twenty two and one half percent (22.5%) of American Southwest’s net billings.  After the end of the calendar month, in which American Southwest’s cumulative net billings exceeds $15,000,000, Universal’s distribution fee will be twenty percent (20%) of American Southwest’s net billings.  According to the Domestic Distribution Agreement, net billings means the cumulative wholesale price for sale of American Southwest’s products, less actual returns and credits to customers for such returns for the applicable accounting period.

NOTE 10 – AGREEMENTS WITH UNIVERSAL RECORDS (CONTINUED)

In consideration for Universal’s services related to sales of American Southwest’s products in the United States and Canada, through channels other than normal retail channels, Universal shall be entitled to a licensing fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of American Southwest’s net licensing billings.  According to the Domestic Distribution Agreement, net licensing billings mean royalties or flat payments received by Universal, on American Southwest’s behalf, attributed to sales, other than sales through normal retail channels.

The Domestic Distribution Agreement became effective January 25, 2006 and will continue until January 25, 2008.  Universal has the right to extend the term of the Domestic Distribution Agreement for an additional two years, until January 25, 2010.

On January 25, 2006, American Southwest entered into another agreement with Universal “(Upstream Agreement”) pursuant to which American Southwest granted Universal the right to enter into exclusive recording services contracts with recording artists that have recording contracts with American Southwest, and whose performances are featured on albums distributed by Universal, on American Southwest’s behalf, that achieve sales in the United States equal to or in excess of 25,000 units.


On January 25, 2006, American Southwest entered into the Exclusive Foreign License Agreement (“Foreign License Agreement”) with Universal.  The term of the Foreign License Agreement runs simultaneously with the term of the Domestic Distribution Agreement.  During the term of the Foreign License Agreement, Universal has the exclusive right to sell, license or otherwise exploit records and videos that its distributes under the Domestic Distribution Agreement through the rest of the universe, excluding the United States.


NOTE 11 – CHANGE IN NAME FROM GL ENERGY & EXPLORATION, INC. TO AMERICAN SOUTHWEST MUSIC DISTRIBUTION, INC.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes included in this report.  This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The statements contained in this report that are not historic in nature, particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” or “plans” or comparable terminology are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions.  

Various risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements in this document are based on information currently available to us as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

General


American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc. f/k/a GL Energy & Exploration, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1998.  Previously, the company engaged in the exploration of mining prospects in the western United States.  As of January 1, 2006, we were a “shell” company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act).


On March 13, 2006, we entered into an agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired all of the equity of American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc., a Texas corporation (“American”).  Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we issued 22,500,000 shares of our common stock and 23,980 shares of our series A convertible preferred stock to David Michery and Kent Puckett, the sole shareholders of American.  On August 18, 2006, we filed a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Delaware secretary of state changing our name to “American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc.”


We produce, acquire, market and sell pre-recorded music through our wholly owned subsidiary, American.  American was incorporated in the State of Texas in May 2004.  In July 2004, American acquired the assets of Celestial Breakaway Records’ and Out of Control Records’ music catalog, which consisted of rights to various master recordings previously released commercially.  Pursuant to that acquisition, American procured the exclusive right to commercially market and sell those master recordings worldwide.


Our executive offices are located at 8721 Sunset Blvd., Penthouse 7, West Hollywood, California 90069.  Our telephone number is (310) 659-8770.  


Significant Accounting Policies


Financial Statement Presentation


The financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial statements of the Company and American Southwest after giving effect to the reverse merger of the two companies on a historical basis.  


Music catalog


Cost Basis


The cost basis in the music catalog is recorded at cost.  Amortization will be computed using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 1 to 5 years.  Amortization will be recorded once revenues commence.







23





Rate of Obsolescence

 

A number of the Music Catalogues date from contracts entered into from 1997 - 1998 that provide for a limited number of album or single release recordings and options for extension thereon.  Accordingly, there is a risk that the Music Catalogues owned by the Company are subject to competition from later releases by the artists through other entities besides the Company, as well as the risk of the passage of time on the salability on the masters owned by the Company.


Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Intangible Assets  

The Company reviews the carrying value of both its long-lived and other intangible assets annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. At April 30, 2006 the Company’s evaluation determined that no provision for impairment of either its other intangible assets (its “Music Library”) or its fixed assets was required at that date.

Consideration of Other Comprehensive Income Items


SFAS 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income requires companies to present comprehensive income (consisting primarily of net income plus other direct equity changes and credits) and its components as part of the basic financial statements.  The Company's financial statements do not contain any changes in equity that are required to be reported separately in comprehensive income.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award.  This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123 (R) became effective for the interim period beginning July 1, 2005.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a significant impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.”  The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.  Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A nonmonetary exchange has commercial  substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement shall be applied prospectively and is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a significant impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.





24





In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” that applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement.  When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 will be effective for the Company for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.


Plan of Operation


We had no revenues for the three month period ended October 31, 2006 or since its inception. We incurred $380,466 and $623,871 in operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2006 as compared to $157,769 and $161,714 for the comparable periods in 2005. We also incurred $68,241 and $109,015 in other costs and expenses for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2006 as compared to $13,302 and $22,746 for the comparable periods in 2005. We have also incurred $124,591 in legal and accounting fees for the six month period ended October 31, 2006.  These fees were related to negotiating Recording Agreements, litigation and SEC compliance requirements.  We paid our management $57,622 and $63,477 in the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2006.  Accordingly, we incurred net losses of $448,687 and $732,866 for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2006, respectively, as compared to $171,071 and $184,460 for the comparable periods in 2005.  


We remain a development stage company.  Since our inception, we have had minimum working capital to fund our operations.  In order to pay the expenses of its operations, we have relied on third-party loans and loans from shareholders. As a result, we have incurred debt in the total amount of $1,378,298 to pay our expenses.  Our working capital deficit at October 31, 2006 was $3,153,141 and at April 30, 2006 it was $2,300,702.  We had cash of $0 as of October 31, 2006, while we had cash of $0 as of April 30, 2006.


We used $351,531 of net cash in operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2006.  Net cash flows used in investing activities was $309,748 for the six months ended October 31, 2006.  Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $661,279 for the six months ended October 31, 2006, primarily in the form of notes issued.


During the next twelve months of operations, we plan to carry out its plan of operation as described herein.  Our management is currently seeking to execute several recording agreements with various production companies, labels and artists. There is no assurance as to when or whether we will locate suitable production companies, labels and artist or suitable master recordings.  Also, there are not assurances that we will have sufficient capital to secure the rights under any Recording Agreement negotiated.


On January 25, 2006, we entered into an Exclusive Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement, Upstream Agreement and Exclusive Foreign License Agreement with Universal Records, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.


Our management plans to select masters from its catalog for commercial release in 2006, and seeking third-party licensing agreements to be included in the proposed compilation Albums derived from its catalog.  


In the second fiscal quarter of 2006, we began marketing the release of new Albums we intend to commercially release in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2006. During the remainder of fiscal 2006, we plan to release nine (9) separate Albums.


In the next 12 months, we plan to hire up 5 additional employees.





25





We have a working capital deficit and only a minimum amount of operating cash with which to fund our future operations.  We must obtain adequate funding in order to fulfill our obligations under any recording agreement that we intend to execute, and adequate funding to market and advertise any of music products that we intend to release.  If we do not receive adequate funding, its management must either discontinue or substantially scale back our planned operations.


We intend to seek either debt or equity capital or both. As of the date of this report, we do not have commitments for funding or any other agreements that will provide us with adequate working capital to conduct its full operating plan for the next twelve months.  We cannot give any assurance that we will locate any funding or enter into any agreements that will provide the required operating capital to fund our planned business operations.  In addition, we may consider receiving advances against future sales from Universal (as customary in the music industry) or to agree to sell rights to Master recordings, copyrights, or rights to any artist under a Recording Agreement or in our catalog.  In addition, we may consider strategic alliances, mergers or acquisition as a means of pursuing our business plan or otherwise funding our business plan.


Our existing capital is currently not sufficient to enable us to meet our cash needs in conjunction with complying with our reporting obligations under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a period of twelve months following the date hereof.  


Regardless of whether our cash assets are adequate to meet its operational needs, we will seek to compensate its management, consultants, employees and other service providers by issuing its shares of stock, or options to buy shares of its common stock in lieu of cash.  For information as to our policy in regard to payment for services, see "Other Compensation Arrangements." contained in our Annual Report on Form 10KSB.


We anticipate obtaining funding from the sale of our common stock and from additional loans.

    

ITEM 3 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have reviewed the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) within the last ninety days and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to American Southwest Music Distribution and its consolidated subsidiaries is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner.  There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the last day they were evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.


PART II:  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 –  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In May 2005, Vestcom, Ltd. filed suit against us, our officers, and several other unrelated companies including AMC American Music Corporation.  The lawsuit arose from a loan made by Vestcom on or about July 3, 2003 in the amount of $500,000 to AMC American Music Corporation.  Vestcom alleged that AMC American Music Corporation fraudulently transferred its assets (“Subject Assets”) to Celestial Breakaway Records, which is owned and controlled by our President, David Michery, and/or us.  We contended that none of its assets belonged previously to AMC American Music Corporation.


Vestcom, Ltd. was seeking not less than $1.2 million from all the defendants including us, to be awarded ownership of all Subject Assets, punitive damages, and other remuneration.  





26





We have entered a stipulation for Settlement/Term Sheet in the action entitled Vestcom v. AMC; Case No. CV-04-03745, which is expected to close on or about September 15, 2006.  Pursuant to the stipulation, American agreed to pay Vestcom the damages Vestcom alleges to have incurred in the above referenced action equal to the sum of $500,000 plus interest thereon at a rate of 9.5% from July 3, 2003 through the expected Closing Date, $360,000 as a supplemental damages payment and $250,000 for legal fees and expenses of Vestcom.  Assuming a September 15, 2006 closing, the principal amount will equal $1,300,000 (the “Principal Amount”).  On the Closing Date, we will issue Vestom a 9.5% promissory note for the Principal Amount, which note will be payable as follows:  $150,000 payable on the Closing Date, $250,000 payable on or before January 1, 2007, and the balance to be paid in 8 equal installments paid quarterly beginning April 3, 2007.


The note will be convertible into shares of our common stock at 90% of the average bid price for the five (5) days immediately prior to conversion, subject to certain limitations.  The note will be secured by our assets as well as a pledge of a certain amount of David Michery’s shares.  We have agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the note

 

The closing date has been extended to December 31, 2006.
