Item 1. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

 

Overview

 

Music Licensing, Inc. is a for-profit public performance rights organization representing approximately 2.5 million musical works of songwriters, composers and publishers, many of which originate from Jake P. Noch, the Company’s CEO, and that collects license fees on behalf of the songwriters, composers and publishers with whom it is affiliated and then distributes the license fees as royalties to those songwriters, composers and publishers whose musical works have been publicly performed. The Company’s repertory is presently accessible by download at https://promusicrights.com.

 

The Company is the one of several public performance rights organization in the United States, including Broadcast Music, Inc, American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, SESAC and Global Music Rights, LLC, with an estimated 7.4% share of the performance rights market based solely on the approximate 2.5 million musical works in its repertory as compared to the publicly available information of the repertoires of Broadcast Music, Inc, American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, SESAC and Global Music Rights, LLC.

 

The Company has a number of reputable artists in its repertory including, OG Maco, best known for his 2014 debut single “U Guessed It,” which went viral and peaked at number 90 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

 

The Company has entered into agreements granting it the right to license the public performance rights in an approximate 2.5 million copyrighted musical works, which include, for example, musical works featuring notable artists such as A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell, Young Jeezy, Juelz Santana, Lil Yachty, MoneyBaggYo, Larry June, Trae Pound, Sause Walka, Trae Tha Truth, Sosamann, Soulja Boy, Lex Luger, Lud Foe, SlowBucks, Gunplay, OG Maco, Rich The Kid, Fat Trel, Young Scooter, Nipsey Hussle, Famous Dex, Boosie Badazz, Shy Glizzy, 2 Chainz, Migos, Gucci Mane, Rich The Kid, Young Dolph, Trinidad James and Fall Out Boy.

 

The Company currently generates revenue by licensing the musical works in its repertory.

 

Plan of Operation

 

While we have generated revenue from operations, such revenue does not appear to be recurring and various downstream customers have failed to continue payments under their respective agreements. As reflected in our reviewed balance sheet for the period ended June 30, 2023, our accounts receivable are $851,939,992. Of those receivables, there is an offset of 806,479,012 as an allowance for accounts which may not be collectable. Our plan of operation for the 12 months through December 2023 is to continue growing our business in the United States by seeking (i) partnerships to grow our repertory, (ii) songwriters, composers and publishers to contribute musical works to our repertory, and (iii) downstream customers to enter into per location or per service licensing agreements with us. We further intend to seek collection on the outstanding accounts receivable. While the Company intends to minimize its operational expenses, the Company has a good faith belief it can monetize certain accounts receivable through the fiscal year end of December 31, 2023. If the Company is unable to collect a significant percentage of its outstanding accounts receivable by December 31, 2023, the Company will likely have insufficient funds to continue its operations, expend resources on marketing or advertising, and otherwise maintain its information systems. Lastly, in such event, our songwriters, composers and publishers may seek to rescind their grants of public performance licenses or otherwise terminate their agreements with us, substantially impacting the Company’s ability to operate as a going concern.

Our business is to license public performance rights of songwriters, composers and publishers to downstream customers, such as digital streaming services and radio stations. Our primary product and service is our songwriter’s composer’s and publisher’s public performance rights. As stated herein, we have obtained a significant repertory of musical compositions to offer to downstream customers, so that such customers can publicly perform such compositions publicly. While we have generated revenue in 2022 and through the six months ended June 30, 2023, as reflected on our financial statements, we seek to raise capital in order to scale our business operations. In the past, we have relied on our founder to fund operations. Once we entered into agreements with downstream customers, we began to generate revenue. Yet we continued to incur expenses for advertising and promoting the business, the musical works in our repertory and our songwriters, composers and publishers. We have encountered hesitation by songwriters, composers and publishers to switch performing rights organizations to us in any material numbers, and for downstream customers to enter into licensing agreements with us. We continue to believe that our royalty-payment model will prevail and songwriters, composers and publishers will perceive the added value in our offering to payout the entirety of royalties.

 

The Company is seeking to relocate to the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis and is also in the process of listing on the Jamaican Stock Exchange. These changes may result in increased revenue through new market opportunities.

 

Music Licensing, Inc.’s License Agreements with Customers for the Public Performance of Musical Works in its Repertory

 

We have entered into written “Business License Agreements” with approximately 466 customers granting them a nonexclusive right and license to publicly perform the musical works of our songwriters, composers and publishers in our repertory. Of the approximate 2.5 million musical works in our repertory, approximately 2.2 million are musical works of Mr. Noch. The Business License Agreements are designed to encompass the entirety of the songwriter’s, composer’s or publisher’s writer share and publisher share on each of their respective musical compositions. For example, if a songwriter holds 10% of the writer share of a musical composition in 50 musical compositions, then the Business License Agreement is designed for Pro Music Rights to represent such songwriter’s 10% interest of the writer share for such compositions. The period of those agreements is for an initial term of five (5) years, which term automatically renews for successive one (1) year periods unless either party gives notice of termination no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Our Business License Agreements with our songwriters, composers and publishers encompass the entirety of their public performance rights in musical works. Such agreements are not generally entered on a song-by-song basis with artists, as the artists generally lack ownership of the public performance rights in and to the musical works except to the extent such artist is a songwriter, composer or publisher of such musical work. Nor do we generally enter into such agreements with the individual or group producing the musical work, except to the extent such individual or group is a songwriter, composer or publisher of such musical work.

  

We charge the following license fee to our customers and the following usage fees (i.e., royalties) for the public performance of musical works in our repertory: A base licensing fee of $50.00 per month for each business location, which fee shall increase every January 1 thereafter at a rate of 2.5% annually. Additionally, a per usage fee for each public performance of the musical works in our repertory is charged based on $0.00005 per usage for every 1% of a work registered with Pro Music Rights representing a total of 100% publisher and 100% writer share for a maximum of 200%. Such fee shall increase on a yearly basis every January 1st at 2.5% annually, rounded highest to the nearest $0.01, for example:

 

Ownership of Musical Work  Usages   Total
Usage
Fee
   Base
License Fee
Per Business
Location
   Total Fee
Per Month
 
1% Ownership of Publisher and Writer share   1,000,000   $100.00   $50.00   $150.00 
50% Ownership of Publisher and Writer share   1,000,000   $5,000   $50.00   $5,050.00 
100% Ownership of Publisher and Writer Share   1,000,000   $10,000.00   $50.00   $10,050.00 

 

With respect to the above table, if a composer holds a 1% interest of the publisher share and a 1% interest of the writer share then, based on 1,000,000 usages of the work over which the composer holds such 1% interest, the composer would receive a royalty payment from the usages equal to 1% of the $0.000005 per each of the 1,000,000 usages for the writer share and a royalty payment from the usages equal to 1% of the $0.000005 per each of the 1,000,000 usages for the publisher share, for a total royalty payment of $100.00.

 

2

 

 

In general, if our songwriter, composer or publisher does not hold both 100% of the publisher share of a musical work and 100% of the writer share of a musical work, we would nonetheless collect royalties for the public performance of such musical work but only to the extent of the ownership percentage in the public performance rights of such songwriter, composer or publisher of such musical work, as set forth in above. Further, as a general matter, any individual or entity publicly performing a federally copyrighted musical work without a public performance license from the holders of the public performance rights for such musical work could be found liable for copyright infringement, among other claims. Even if our songwriters, composers or publishers own less than 100% of the publisher share and 100% of the writer share of a musical work, we nonetheless charge business license fees for the license granted to us in our Business License Agreement from our songwriters, composers and/or publishers for the musical works.

 

The Company’s customers are required, on the first of each month, to submit a musical work usage report detailing the usage of each musical work in the Company’s repertory. Such report shall contain the amount of usage and/or streams of which the customer utilized the musical works in our repertory. Upon receiving such report, the Company issues an invoice for the appropriate usage fee to the customer. In the event the customer submits such report later than five days after such reports are due, we charge the customer an additional fee. We collect payment from our customers through WePay, PayPal, checks, wire transfer and ACH. Once payments are collected from such agreements, we retain the monthly or annual fee as revenue and collect the usage fees, which are then distributed as royalties to our songwriters, composers and publishers.

 

Limited Business History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is limited historical financial information about the Company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an early-stage corporation with limited operations and unsustainable revenues from business operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business plans. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration and/or development, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services. We are considering options to negotiate business combinations, mergers or acquisitions. However, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in closing these transactions we are considering. We have a specific business plan and timetable to complete our 12-month plan of operation based on the success of our service to license the public performance of musical works in our repertory to potential customers, such as, for example, television and radio stations; broadcast and cable networks; new media, including the Internet/streaming services and mobile technologies; satellite audio services like XM and Sirius; nightclubs, hotels, bars, restaurants and other venues; digital jukeboxes; and live concerts. Specifically, we have entered into various licensing agreements under which we have generated accounts receivables. Our reviewed balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 identifies $45,460,980, including offsets as described under the “Plan of Operation” section herein, of accounts receivable predominantly arising from such licensing agreements. The accounts receivable consisted of the following: (1) monthly license subscription fee; (2) musical work usage non-declaration fee; and (3) interest charges. Our inability to raise additional funding may impair our ability to expand our operations, increase revenue, expend resources for advertising and promotion, enter into new licensing agreements and otherwise grow our business.

 

We will need additional financing to operate our business. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding to continue or otherwise sustain business operations. We do not currently have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. Our limited operating history and our lack of significant tangible capital assets makes it unlikely that we will be able to obtain significant debt financing in the near future. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue or expand our business. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders. We will need to secure financing in the future to continue or otherwise sustain business operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2023, we had a cash balance of $2,390. We will need to raise funds to commence our 12-month plan of business operation and fund any ongoing operational expenses. Historically, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through capital infusion from Jake Noch, our executive officer and director. For clarity, we have not entered into any loan, debt or other financing agreements with Mr. Noch, and we have no obligation to repay Mr. Noch for his capital contributions. Mr. Noch has funded our operations from his personal wealth with a full understanding of the personal financial risk thereof. While Mr. Noch intends to continue providing the Company with capital to fund its operations, there can be no assurance that he will continue to do so in the future, although Mr. Noch is aware that any cessation of his funding our operations will result in a total loss of his investment and the value of his substantial shareholding of the Company. In the future, we may raise additional capital through additional debt or equity financings to support our business, to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances, or for other reasons. On an ongoing basis, we are evaluating sources of financing and may raise additional capital in the future. Our ability to obtain additional capital will depend on our development efforts, business plans, investor demand, operating performance, the condition of the capital markets, and other factors. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked, or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to the rights of existing stockholders, and existing stockholders may experience dilution. Further, if we are unable to obtain additional capital when required, or are unable to obtain additional capital on satisfactory terms, our ability to continue to support our business or to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances would be adversely affected.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major repairs and betterments are capitalized and normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Upon retirement or sale of an asset, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying amount.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow. 

 

Item 2. Other Information

 

None.

 

Item 3. Financial Statement

 

The accompanying semiannual financial statements are reviewed and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 1-SA. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 1-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

2.1. Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

2.2. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the U.S. 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 date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Management evaluates the estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and believes those estimates and assumptions are reasonable based on the information available to them.

 

2.3. Cash

 

The Company deposits its cash with financial institutions that the management believes are of high credit quality. The Company’s cash consists primarily of cash deposited in U.S. dollar-denominated investment accounts.

 

2.4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of March 31, 2023

 

Level 2—Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumption.

 

2.5. Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are comprised of copyrights and domain names. The Company is the owner for the exclusive rights to use these copyrights and domain names. As such, these assets do have an indefinite life. The Company reviews the currently held copy rights and domain names on an annual basis for impairment to determine if an adjustment is required. As the current intangible assets are working No impairment adjustment was considered necessary as of March 31, 2023.

 

The company’s intangible assets at the period end are categorized as follows:

 

Copyrights: $19,010
   
Domain Names $26,125

 

2.6. Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, control has been transferred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product Is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. The Company’s primary source of revenue is the monthly licensing subscription fee.

 

The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:

 

  Identify the contract with a customer.
    
Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
   
Determine the transaction price.
   
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
   
Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

2.7. Income Taxes

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which amends the existing guidance relating to the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes and to improve the consistent application of GAAP for other areas of accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance.

 

There are no Deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized for the current period.

A receivable is considered past due if the company has not received payments based on agreed-upon terms. The company generally does not require any security or collateral to support its receivables.

 

Prior Period Error

 

The company has identified a prior period item (error) relating to the past periods ending December 31, 2022. There was an omission in booking and sending the sales invoices to the customers. Due to this, the prior year sales were not recorded. These omitted invoices are a part of a signed legal licensing agreement between the company and its customers. As such management has decided to record these invoices as Sales starting 2023.

Total revenues as on March 31, 2023: $758,738,240

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

2.1.Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

2.2.Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the U.S. 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 date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Management evaluates the estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and believes those estimates and assumptions are reasonable based on the information available to them.

 

2.3.Cash

 

The Company deposits its cash with financial institutions that the management believes are of high credit quality. The Company’s cash consists primarily of cash deposited in U.S. dollar-denominated investment accounts.

 

2.4.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2—Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumption.

2.5.Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are comprised of copyrights and domain names. The Company is the owner for the exclusive rights to use these copyrights and domain names. As such, these assets do have an indefinite life. The Company reviews the currently held copy rights and domain names on an annual basis for impairment to determine if an adjustment is required. As the current intangible assets are working No impairment adjustment was considered necessary as of June 30, 2023.

 

The company’s intangible assets at the period end are categorized as follows:

 

Copyrights: $19,010

 

Domain Names $26,125

 

2.6.Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, control has been transferred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product Is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. The Company’s primary source of revenue is the monthly licensing subscription fee.

 

The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:

 

Identify the contract with a customer.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Determine the transaction price.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and

 

Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

2.7.Income Taxes

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which amends the existing guidance relating to the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes and to improve the consistent application of GAAP for other areas of accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance. There are no Deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized for the current period.

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts receivables are stated at Net Realizable Value (NRV). On a periodic basis, management evaluates its accounts receivable and determines whether to provide an allowance or if any accounts should be written off based on a past history of write offs, collections, and current credit conditions. A receivable is considered past due if the company has not received payments based on agreed-upon terms. The company generally does not require any security or collateral to support its receivables.

 

Prior Period Error

 

The company has identified a prior period item (error) relating to the past periods ending December 31, 2022. There was an omission in booking and sending the sales invoices to the customers. Due to this, the prior year sales were not recorded. These omitted invoices are a part of a signed legal licensing agreement between the company and its customers. As such management has decided to record these invoices as Sales starting 2023.

 

Summary of Revenues at the period end:

 

Total Revenues as on June 30, 2023: $852,032,784

 

Revenues Relating to Prior Period: $851,947,010

 

Revenues as of June 30, 2023: $ 85,774

 

The Management decided to take a provision of $806,479,012 as bad debts expense during the year 2023 based on management estimation and legal advice.

 

4.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

As per GAAP Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 855 , The Company evaluates events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The objective of the subsequent events section is to provide information to users of the financial statements about any significant events that have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date that could affect the understanding of the financial statements.
