NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Nature of Operations and Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of American Champion Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company")
and its wholly owned subsidiary, America's Best Karate ("ABK") which owns 100%
of American Champion Media, Inc. ("AC Media"). The Company and AC Media were
formed during 1997. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
July 14, 1997, the Company entered into a reorganization transaction pursuant
to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ABK
(the "Reorganization"). The financial statements included herein give effect
to the Reorganization in which the Company became the successor to ABK. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
AC Media focuses on operating and managing all media-related programs for the
Company. These programs consist of fitness information video tapes, books and
audio tapes and production of educational television programs for children
which emphasize martial arts values and fun. ABK focuses solely on operating
and managing the Company's karate studios which are located in the San
Francisco Bay Area.
Revenue Recognition - AC Media - Revenue from films is recognized on the
accrual method. Film costs are amortized using the
individual-film-forecast-computation method which amortizes costs in the
ratio that current gross revenues bear to anticipated total gross revenues
from all sources. The management of AC Media periodically reviews its
estimates of future revenues for each master and if necessary a revision is
made to amortization rates and a write down to net realizable value may
occur.
Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts
receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places
its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The amount on
deposit in any one institution that exceeds federally insured limits is
subject to credit risk. To reduce credit risk, the Company requires advanced
payments from students and thus, no student fees receivable is recorded.
Film Costs - Film costs consist of the capitalized costs related to the
production of original film masters for videos and television programs. The
net film costs are presented on the balance sheet at the net realizable
value for each master.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash,
receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximates fair
value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of
long-term obligations approximates fair value since the interest rates
either fluctuate with the lending banks' prime rates or approximate market
rate. None of the financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
Basic Loss Per Share - Net loss per share is based on the weighted average
outstanding shares issued. Because the Company has a net loss, the common
stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.
Accordingly, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the
same.
Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company and its
Subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return.
Presentation - Because of the Company's reduced activity in its karate
instruction segment, management believes utilizing a classified balance
sheet presentation is no longer appropriate, as the operating cycle of the
media-related segment of the Company is expected exceed 12 months.
Accordingly, an unclassified presentation is utilized for the accompanying
balance sheet, which is an acceptable method under SFAS No. 53, "Financial
Reporting by Producers and Distributors of Motion Picture Films".
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999
amounts to conform to the current presentation.
Note 2 - Basis of Reporting
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for completed financial
statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company
at June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the three months periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The accompanying
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 1999 included
in the Company's Form 10-KSB as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2000.
Note 3 - Uses of Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties
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 date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates used in these financial statements include the
recovery of film costs which has a direct relationship to the net realizable
value of the related asset. It is at least reasonably possible that
management's estimate of revenue from films could change in the near term
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.
Note 4 - Film Costs
Film costs consist of the capitalized costs related to the production of
videos and programs for television as follows:

=========== ===========
Production of the first seven episodes of The Adventures with Kanga Roddy was
completed during 1997. The Company completed 9 and 13 additional episodes
during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Both
exercise videos were completed in 1996, but only the Strong Mind Fit Body
video has been released.
Note 8 -Beneficial Conversion Feature of Debentures
The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature of its 7%
convertible debentures issued during the quarter in accordance with EITF D-60,
"Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or
Contingently Adjustable Conversion." The application of EITF D-60 resulted in
the recognition of a non-cash charge to interest expense of $107,429 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 corresponding increase to additional paid in
capital. These amounts are included in interest expense.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Forward Looking Information
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
from liability for forward-looking statements. Certain information included
in this Form 10-QSB and other materials filed or to be filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included
in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by or on
behalf of the Company) are forward-looking, such as statements relating to
operational and financing plans, capital uses and resources, competition,
and demands for the Company's products and services. Such forward-looking
statements involve important risks and uncertainties, many of which will be
beyond the control of the Company. These risks and uncertainties could
significantly affect anticipated results in the future, both short-term and
long-term, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the acceptance by
television viewers and public television stations of the television series -
ADVENTURES WITH KANGA RODDY, production delays and/or cost overruns with
respect to such series, changes in external competitive market factors or in
the Company's internal budgeting process which might impact trends in the
Company's results of operations, unanticipated working capital or other cash
requirements, changes in the Company's business strategy or an inability to
execute its strategy due to unanticipated change in the industries in which
it operates; and various competitive factors that may prevent the Company
from competing successfully in the marketplace.
The following section discusses the significant operating changes, business
trends, financial condition, earnings and liquidity that have occurred in
the three-month period ended June 30, 1999. This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and
notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Results of Operations
Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's
total revenue increased to $491,895, an increase of $258,433 or 110.7% as
compared to $233,462 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase is
primarily due to the sponsorship revenue for the Company 's boxing event in
April 2000.
Costs and Expenses. Within the three months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company has an amortized expense of film cost in the amount of $31,057 for
its television show. Such amortization, is calculated based upon the
proportion to the revenue generated by the television show in this period
compared to total expected revenues from the television show.
The Company's expenses for salaries and payroll taxes increased to
$261,438, an increase of $250,785 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from $10,653 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase was the combined
result of all salaries and payroll taxes charged to expense instead of
capitalizing to production and an increase in marketing personnel.
Rent expense decreased to $33,900 for the three months ended June 30,
2000, a decrease of $38,349 or 53.1% from $72,249 for the comparable period in
1999. The decrease in rents is due to the closure of karate studios.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$1,662,196, an increase of $1,329,061 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from $333,135 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase is primarily
due to cost of producing the boxing event in China in the amount of $744,764.
Interest expense decreased to $11,681, a decrease of $595,902 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $607,583 for the comparable period in
1999. The beneficial conversion feature of debenture expense for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 is a non-cash charge of $107,429 related to the
convertible debentures the Company issued issued earlier in the year, and
there were no such charge for the comparable period in 1999. The debentures
are convertible to common stock of the Company with the shares to be issued
upon conversion based on 17.5% of the fair value of the stock at the time of
conversion. Since the debt can be converted at any time, the value of the
discount as of the issuance date has been charged to interest expense with a
corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. The balance of the
increase is attributable to the interest accrued on convertible debentures
and certain private loans of the Company.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company's net loss
decreased to $1,682,331 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$1,762,938 for the comparable period in 1999. Net loss per share decreased
to ($0.26) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from ($0.90) for the
comparable period in 1999. Weighted average number of shares outstanding
increased to 6,555,737 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
1,964,081 for the comparable period in 1999 primarily due to the conversion
of debentures into the Company's common stock. The outstanding number of
shares and net loss per share figures are adjusted for the 1:4 reverse split
of the company's common stock on January 4, 2000.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
Cash decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2000 by $261,128 of
which $1,171,217 was net operating cash loss and $36,088 was used in the
production of the Adventures With Kanga Roddy show, while financing activities
resulted in an inflow of $946,177.
Deferred consulting fees of $93,300 relate to common stock and warrants
issued to consultants and are being amortized over the term of the consulting
agreements which range from 12 to 24 months.
As of June 30, 2000, total liabilities were $1,872,439 and there is
no loan payable to related parties. In addition, deferred revenues were
$16,920 at June 30, 2000. Deferred revenues are pre-paid tuition for the
karate studios and booked revenue from sponsorship activities which cannot be
immediately recognized. The last karate studio was closed during the quarter
ended March 31, 2000. There has not been significant request for refund of
pre-paid tuition and the Company may elect to claim the remaining deferred
revenues later this year.
The Company continues to believe that the unamortized cost of the
Kanga Roddy program is recoverable due to the fact that management is
actively pursuing other broadcast avenues for the program. The current
exclusive distribution agreement with public television through KTEH, the
affiliate station in San Jose, is expiring in April 2001. The Company is
optimistic that a commercial broadcaster or cable network would distribute
the Kanga Roddy series, thereby generating distribution revenue and
creating a larger audience and demand for ancillary products.
The distributor for the Montana exercise video is planning on an
Internet marketing plan within the third quarter of 2000. With correct
pricing and an aggressive outreach strategy, the Company maintains that the
unamortized costs of this program is recoverable.
Recent Developments
In April 2000, the Company engaged into an Equity Line of Credit with
Sibson Holdings, Ltd. The equity line is for a maximum of $5,000,000 with a
bridge loan of $1,000,000. The Company is in the process of filing a
registration statement on form SB-2 for this transaction, and will seek
shareholders' approval to ratify this transaction at the coming shareholders'
meeting scheduled on September 27, 2000.
On May 3, 2000, the Company's subsidiary American Champion Marketing
Group, Inc. ("ACMG") signed an agreement with Irwin Toy Limited for the
licensing of characters from the TV program "ReBoot". ACMG is the licensing
agent for Mainframe Entertainment, Inc., the producer of "ReBoot".
On July 17, 2000, the Company signed a short-form agreement for the
acquisition of 50.01% of 21e-sports Company, Ltd. of Beijng China. Upon
satisfactory completion of the due diligence process, a final agreement will
be executed and then the Company will file a proxy statement with the SEC and
seek shareholders' approval for the acquisition.
