NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 14, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) Division of Enforcement issued a "Wells Notice" to the Company indicating that the staff intended to recommend that the SEC file a civil lawsuit alleging that the Company violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws.

Based on communications with the SEC`s Enforcement staff, the Company believes that the proposed lawsuit relates to the Company's restated financial statements for the third quarter of 2009, which were included in its Form 10-Q filed on November 16, 2009 and its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, which were included in its 2009 Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2010. The restatement concerned the Company's valuation of media CREDITS, accounting for certain acquisitions, and equity issuances.

The Company believes that the staff may also recommend naming one or more current and former officers of the Company as defendants in the proposed lawsuit.

Subsequent to receipt of the “Wells Notice”, there have been a number of announcements in respect of individual class action law suits against the Company that are pending and that have been lodged.

The Company cannot predict the outcome of the dispute with the SEC or any separate class action litigation which may result, including whether a lawsuit will be filed or the terms of any settlement that may be reached.

The Company has been given an opportunity to respond to the Wells Notice, and will decide on how to proceed based on consultation with its litigation counsel. The Company does not anticipate that the notice will negatively impact its business operations.
