The monthly payment for general consulting services is $9,362 (GBP 5,000) for a minimum of one year beginning on August 1, 2006. At December 31, 2007, $169,002 (GBP 85,000) was accrued.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis |
The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes for the three month period ended December 31, 2007.
Overview of Our Business
PlayBOX (US) Inc. (we or the Company) was incorporated on April 1, 2005 as Boyd Holdings Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada. We operate through our wholly-owned subsidiary, PlayBOX Media Limited (PlayBOX UK). We changed our name to PlayBOX (US) Inc. effective April 12, 2006 to reflect our acquisition of PlayBOX UK and its business. PlayBOX UK was incorporated on August 21, 2003 under the laws of the United Kingdom.
We are the owner of an online music hosting and downloading application targeted at unsigned music acts and small- to medium-sized record labels enabling them to establish their own music downloading or hosting services. The application is offered with a number of supplemental services such as hosting, streaming, e-commerce and digital rights management (DRM) using the latest MP3 and Windows Multimedia technology. We pool these services together to offer our clients a cost-effective and professional platform on which to sell and promote their music products.
Our PlayBOX online music application consists of four dynamic interfaces, namely White Label, Aggregator, Bespoke and Jukebox, that provide an interface between artists and content owners and their listeners via the Internet. The White Label interface provides artists a way to offer their music for sale to listeners via the Internet by enabling them to download individual songs either directly from our website or from the artists own website. The Aggregator interface allows small- to medium-sized record labels with a music catalogue of at least 50 tracks who wish to sell their tracks via an online downloading store with e-commerce, tracking, reporting and billing functions built in. The interface can be operated as a stand-alone website, or can be integrated into the clients existing website. For our Bespoke interface, we hire independent web designers to create specialized interfaces for particular clients with unique needs and requirements quickly and cheaply. Finally, our PlayBOX Jukebox interface provides music listeners with a unique way to listen to their music and to manage their music collections visually on their personal computer. The PlayBOX Jukebox also lets users submit their personal ratings of the music they have stored on the Jukebox, and the Jukebox can even recommend other music that will match the users taste.
We have completed the development of the PlayBOX online music application. However, we have only commenced the process of commercializing our technology and we have had very minimal sales to date. While we have achieved initial sales, these sales cannot be viewed as significant in relation to our operating expenses. Furthermore, we are presently not earning any revenues. Accordingly, we are in the early development stage of our business. Further, we will require additional financing in order to complete commercialization of our PlayBOX online music application. As a result of our limited financing, our operations during the past year have been scaled back to reflect our limited financial resources. Accordingly, we have not advanced our business to the extent that we had planned during the past year. We have recently brought in a director of business strategy, Mr. Harry Maloney, to assist us in securing additional clients and advancing our business operations.
We have earned only minimal revenues to date. Our plan of operations, as described below, is to generate revenues from the sales of one or more of the interfaces comprising our online music application. Our ability to pursue our plan of operations has been limited during the past year and will be limited during
- 2 -
the coming year to the extent that we have not had and will not have sufficient funds with which to pursue our plan of operations.
Our principal executive office is located at Suite 3.19, 130 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, England, W1D 5EU. Our telephone number is +44(0)20 7031 1187 and our fax number is +44(0)20 7031 1199.
Prospective Acquisition of Delta Leisure Group Plc
We have entered into a letter of intent (the Letter of Intent) dated December 14, 2007 for the proposed acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of U.K based Delta Leisure Group Plc ("Delta") an established distributor of an extensive catalogue of major music CD's, DVD's and video's throughout the UK and Europe. This Letter of Intent is between the Company and the shareholders of Delta and summarizes the basis on which the parties are prepared to negotiate with a view to entering into a binding definitive agreement for the completion of the acquisition (the Definitive Agreement). Neither party will be bound to complete the acquisition until such time as the Definitive Agreement has been negotiated and executed among the parties. The Letter of Intent does not create any binding contracts, agreements or obligations other than expressly provided therein.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, it is contemplated that we will acquire 100% of the issued capital of Delta for a combination of cash and stock. The completion of the transaction is subject to, inter alia, completion of satisfactory due diligence by us; the execution of a formal share purchase agreement; the receipt of all necessary approvals; and the completion by the us of a minimum of $7m of debt or equity financing, which funds will be used to pay the cash component of the acquisition and provide working capital to allow us to execute on our business plan.
Delta, whose registered office is in Orpington, UK, holds 75% of the shares in Delta Music Limited. Delta Music Limited, has two subsidiaries: Delta Home Entertainment Ltd., and Delta Music Merchandising Ltd. Since its inception in 1993, the Delta group of companies (the "Group") has become one of the most recognized manufacturers and distributors of entertainment products in the UK with client distribution outlets including Universal, Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Sit-Up TV, TK Maxx, Toys-R-Us and Sainsbury's. In addition, Delta Music Limited was an early mover in the growing on-line digital download industry.
We have entered into negotiations regarding the form of the Definitive Agreement, however the Definitive Agreement has neither been finalized nor executed to date. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any definitive acquisition agreement will be entered into. Further, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the financing necessary to enable it to complete the acquisition, even if a definitive acquisition agreement is entered into.
Plan Of Operations
Our plan of operations is to commercialize and generate revenues from our PlayBOX online music application. We have targeted unsigned music acts and small- to medium-sized record labels as the potential customer base for the PlayBOX music application. The PlayBOX music application is able to provide artists and content owners with a range of services which incorporate the latest MP3 and Windows Multimedia music formats. We also offer a number of services to supplement these interfaces such as hosting, streaming, e-commerce and digital rights management (DRM). We pool these services together to offer potential customers a cost-effective and professional platform on which to sell and promote their music products.
- 3 -
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to complete the following objectives within the time periods and budgets specified:
1. |
We plan to carry out sales and marketing of our PlayBOX online music service with the objective of securing sales of our White Label interface to music artists and our Aggregator interface to record labels. Our Bespoke interfaces will be targeted predominantly towards companies involved in the music industry. We plan to undertake a number of marketing and promotional campaigns over the next 12 months with the objective of establishing sales momentum. We estimate $7,000 per month will be spent on our proposed marketing campaigns and promotions in that 12-month period, for anticipated total annual expenditures of $84,000. |
2. |
We anticipate spending approximately $10,000 over the next 12 months to various third parties to run our PlayBOX service. These parties elements are: (i) dedicated server through Open Hosting Ltd., (ii) ePDQ payment interface, provided by Barclaycard UK, (iii) Digital Rights Management Interface, provided by IFDNRG Ltd., (iv) the administration of these elements in the PlayBOX system. |
3. |
We anticipate spending approximately $17,000 over the next twelve months in continuing the upgrading, development and design of our PlayBOX system. |
4. |
We anticipate spending approximately $2,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $24,000 over the next twelve months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of rent and office services, technical support and hosting services and general office expenses. |
5. |
We anticipate spending approximately $40,000 in complying with our obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of our financial statements and completing our annual report, quarterly report, current report and proxy statement filings with the SEC. |
These planned expenditures total $175,000 over the next twelve months.
We had cash of $4,277 and working capital deficit of $391,528 as at December 31, 2007. We anticipate that our planned expenditures over the next twelve months in the amount of $175,000 will exceed our cash reserves and working capital. As a result, we anticipate that our cash and working capital will not be sufficient to enable us to undertake our plan of operations over the next twelve months without our obtaining additional financing. We anticipate based on our current cash and working capital deficit and our planned expenses that we will not be able to fund our operations beyond the next few months without additional financing. We anticipate that we will require financing in the amount of approximately $560,000 in order to carry out our plan of operations for the next twelve months.
We note that our plan of operations does not include any funds that we may expend in concluding any acquisition of Delta Music. As noted, we have not entered into any definitive agreement for this acquisition and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be concluded.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding of our planned activities as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing.
We have not entered into any financing agreements and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that any financing we obtain will be sufficient to fund our plan of operations. At this time, all potential
- 4 -
investors and all discussions are taking place outside of the United States. We may also seek to obtain additional financing from our principal shareholders, although none of our shareholders have committed to advance any shareholder loans to us. In the absence of such financing, we may not be able to continue our plan of operations beyond the next few months and our business plan will fail. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our plan of operations and our business activities.
Presentation Of Financial Information
Effective March 24, 2006, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PlayBOX UK by issuing 12,000,000 shares of our common stock. Notwithstanding its legal form, our acquisition of PlayBOX UK has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, since the acquisition resulted in the former shareholders of PlayBOX UK owning the majority of our issued and outstanding shares. Because Boyd Holdings Inc. (now PlayBOX (US) Inc.) was a newly incorporated company with nominal net non-monetary assets, the acquisition has been accounted for as an issuance of stock by PlayBOX UK accompanied by a recapitalization. Under the rules governing reverse acquisition accounting, the results of operations of PlayBOX (US) Inc. are included in our consolidated financial statements effective March 24, 2006. Our date of inception is the date of inception of PlayBOX UK, being August 21, 2003, and our financial statements are presented with reference to the date of inception of PlayBOX UK. Financial information relating to periods prior to March 24, 2006 is that of PlayBOX UK.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development Stage Company
We are a development stage company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. We are presently devoting all of our present efforts to establishing a new business. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of our development stage activities.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria have been met under SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenue arises from the following sources: creation of web-based music interfaces; provision of hosting and bandwidth services; and revenue share services.
Revenues from the creation of web-based music interfaces come from set-up fees based on the number of tracks to be uploaded and the number of hours of development time to complete the interface and are recognized when all of the following SAB No. 104 criteria are met: a web-based interface development agreement is signed with an estimate of the total cost based on agreed upon specifications. Revenue from the development of web-based interfaces is recognized in accordance with the completed performance method. Under this method, revenue is recognized at the completion of the web-based interface as the service transaction taken as a whole can be deemed to have taken place on completion of the development. Collectability is reasonably assured as the Company receives the agreed set-up fee prior to allowing access to the web-based interface.
Revenues from the provision of hosting and bandwidth services come from a one time hosting set-up fee and monthly fees based on disk space and bandwidth to be provided and are recognized when all of the following SAB No. 104 criteria are met: a website hosting agreement is signed with an initial term of six
- 5 -
months and from month to month thereafter until terminated by either party. Each agreement has a hosting price structure where prices can be determined.
Revenue from the one time set-up fee is deferred and recognized over the initial term of six months and revenue received from monthly fees is recognized at the end of the month, when hosting services, server bandwidth and customer support was made available to the client for the month. Collectability is reasonably assured as the Company receives a one time set-up fee prior to the provision of the services. Monthly fees are received in advance of each month, which is recorded as deferred revenue, and are recognized when the monthly service is rendered.
Revenues from the revenue share services element come from a set revenue share percentage of music download purchases, as set out in each customers agreement and are recognized when all of the following SAB No. 104 criteria are met: a distributor agreement is signed with initial and renewal terms determined on a case-by-case basis. Revenue is recognized when the minimum revenue share threshold of British Pounds Sterling (GBP) 100, every payment period, is achieved. If the revenue share is less than GBP 100, payments shall be carried over to the next due payment date. Collectability is reasonably assured as the Company collects its revenue share directly from the secure online payment system which it utilizes prior to transferring net revenues to the customer.
Foreign Currency Translations
Our functional currency is pounds sterling (£). Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in other currencies are re-measured into the functional currency as follows:
i) |
Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, | |
ii) |
Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and equity at historical rates, and | |
iii) |
Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. |
Gains and losses on re-measurement are included in determining net income for the period.
Translation of balances from the functional currency into the reporting currency is conducted as follows:
ii) |
Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, | |
ii) |
Equity at historical rates, and | |
iii) |
Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. |
Translation adjustments resulting from translation of balances from functional to reporting currency are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon sale or liquidation of the net investment in the foreign entity the amount deferred will be recognized in income.

Revenue
We achieved our initial sales from the PlayBOX online music application in fiscal 2005. We achieved further initial sales in fiscal 2006 and 2007. Our initial sales were attributable to sales of web hosting services that we provide to The Little Bazaar, which is our initial and only current paying customer. Our sales continue to be insignificant in terms of our overall operating expenses. We did not generate any sales during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 compared to $144 generated during the first three month period of fiscal 2007. Our sales continue to be insignificant in terms of our overall operating expenses. There is no assurance that we will raise the necessary financing to enable us to resume full business operations achieve significant revenues.
Accounting and Auditing
Accounting and auditing expenses are attributable to the preparation and audit of our financial statements.
- 7 -
Our accounting and auditing expenses were $22,030 during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 as compared to $29,119 during the first three month period of fiscal 2007. These fees are attributable mainly to auditing, accounting and regulatory compliance expenses.
Consulting and Technical Support
Our consulting and technical support expenses increased to $31,904 during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 compared to $Nil during the first three month period of fiscal 2007.
Intellectual Property
We did not incur any expenses on any intellectual property during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 nor during fiscal 2007. We determined in fiscal 2006 that the carrying amount of the PlayBOX intellectual property was not recoverable and impaired in accordance with paragraph 34 of SOP 98-1 and FASB 144. As a result, we wrote-off in fiscal 2006 the cost to us of $2,500,000 when we acquired the PlayBOX intellectual property on March 31, 2006.
Legal
Our legal expenses are attributable to legal fees paid to our legal counsel in connection with our statutory obligations as a reporting company under the Exchange Act including the preparations and filings of our quarterly and annual reports with the SEC.
Legal expenses increased significantly to $17,724 during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 from $9,878 during the first three month period of fiscal 2007 as a result of legal expenses incurred in connection with our proposed acquisition of Delta Music.
Office and Miscellaneous
Office expenses are comprised of general office and administrative expenses not covered under our agreement with Azuracle. These expenses decreased to $Nil during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 as compared to $2,820 during the first three month period of fiscal 2007.
Rent
Rent expense was attributable to amounts paid on account of our rent of shared office premises in London, England. We originally paid these amounts to Outlander Management until we replaced our agreement with Outlander Management with our agreement with Azuracle on July 1, 2005. Our rent expense increased slightly to $3,068 during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 as compared to $2,874 during the first three month period of fiscal 2007. The minor increase resulted from a decrease in the foreign exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in terms of the Great Britain pound.
Salaries and Wages
Salaries and benefits are primarily comprised of salary paid to Robert Burden, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and a director. Our salaries and benefits decreased to $4,161 during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 as compared to $37,960 during the first three month period of fiscal 2007 because Mr. Burden agreed to lower his monthly salary effective July 1, 2006.

Loss from Operations and Net Loss
Our loss from operations decreased to $80,458 during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 as compared to $85,205 during the first three month period of fiscal 2007 and a net loss of $3,352,143 from inception to December 31, 2007.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
As at December 31, 2007, we had cash of $4,277 and a working capital deficit of $391,528 and as at September 30, 2007, we had cash of $5,909 and a working capital deficit of $330,853.
Plan of Operations
We estimate that our total expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $175,000, as outlined above under the heading Plan of Operations. We anticipate that our cash and working capital will not be sufficient to enable us to undertake our plan of operations over the next twelve months without our obtaining additional financing. We presently require immediate financing in order that we have the cash necessary for us to continue our operations. In view of our working capital deficit, we anticipate that we will require additional financing in the approximate amount of $560,000 in order to enable us to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. We note that this amount does not include any funds that we may expend in concluding any acquisition of Delta Music.
Cash used in Operating Activities
We used cash of $57,701 in operating activities during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 compared to $68,259 during the first three month period of fiscal 2007. Since inception, we have used cash of $747,321 in operating activities. We have applied cash generated from financing activities to fund cash used in operating activities.
Cash from Investing Activities
We did not use any cash in investing activities during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 nor during the first three month period of fiscal 2007. We acquired cash of $130,626 during fiscal 2006 as a result of our acquisition of PlayBOX UK.
Cash from Financing Activities
We generated cash of $43,996 from financing activities during the first three month period of fiscal 2008 compared to cash of $53,189 generated from financing activities during the first three month period of fiscal 2007.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive business activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding of our planned activities because we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
