FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are
"forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management
for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or
achievements of MULTI-MEDIA TUTORIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations
that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and
objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion
of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing, involve judgments with
respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove
inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking
statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans
of the Company will be achieved.
PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
GENERAL:
Multi-Media Tutorial Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in 1994, (the
"Company"), produces, acquires and distributes a variety of products to
educational institutions and consumers using direct marketing through Internet
advertising. The Company's principal product to date has been proprietary
tutorial education programs on videotape, DVD and CD Rom for use by adults and
children in homes, workplaces, schools, libraries and other locales. This
principal product line, which is marketed under the brand Math Made Easy(TM),

DVD's available.
The Company has developed a website, TutorialChannel.com which incorporates
various on-line products and services, among them interactive test taking
practice, streaming video featuring the Math Made Easy courseware and online
tutoring. The Tutorial Channel enables parents to obtain personalized live
on-line tutoring for their children in the comfort of their home at prices
significantly lower than traditional tutoring. The Company employs tutors who
have graduated in mathematics and science and performed at the top of their
class. The Company plans on promoting its online services through its website
and internet advertising. The Company has redesigned its tutorialchannel.com
website and expanded its tutoring service to science subjects in addition to
mathematics.
The Company currently offers online tutoring services to its customers and has
acquired several hundred paid subscriptions. The average current subscription
price for these customers is $60 per month which includes the Company's on line
testing service and a limited number of tutoring sessions.
The Company has developed an online test preparation division. This entails
online preparation for the standardized tests such as SAT, PSAT and ACT. The
Company expects to begin marketing this service in the upcoming fall season.
The Company generates leads through Internet advertising. The Company utilizes
its own inbound and outbound telephone sales force to convert these leads into
sales. Payment is made by credit card or direct debit to a checking account. The
product is then shipped to the customer. The Company's products have been
purchased by over 325,000 customers over the last ten years. In addition, the
Company has recently begun to point a portion of its advertising directly to the
tutorialchannel.com site.
3
The Company's objective is to become the premiere resource for parent and
students across the country for their tutorial and remedial home study programs.
The Company recently launched a new website, Mathmadeeasy.net, for purchases of
its Math Made Easy DVD series, whereas our website, Mathmadeeasy.com, offers a
combined program of review courseware and tutorial services. The Company's
tutorialchannel.com website offers both monthly subscriptions for tutorial
services as well as hourly tutoring packages in math and science. In addition,
the website includes a test taking module where members can access a plethora of
problems and worked out solutions in all areas of mathematics. The Company
experiences a steady stream of both visitors to its website as well as sales
conducted through the website.
Need for Additional Financing to Fund Operations
The Company has suffered recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit of
$22,025,837 and a working capital deficiency of $6,324,526 at February 29, 2008.
In order to sustain its operations and grow its business in this competitive
market, the Company needs to obtain additional financing. The Company is
actively seeking sources of additional financing in order to meet its debt
repayment obligations and to maintain and potentially expand its current
operations. To date, the Company has not successfully attained additional
financing and there can be no reassurances that the Company will be able to do
so in the future. If the Company is unsuccessful in attaining additional
financing, the Company may be required to severely curtail or cease operations.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and "Risk
Factors".
During the year ended February 29, 2008, the Company and its subsidiary, The
Math Channel, received a notice of assessment from the New York Sate Department
of Labor in the amount of approximately $15,000. the DOL claiming a
predecessor/successor relationship between the Company and The Math Channel,
wherein the Company maintained a higher percentage of tax assessed for
unemployment tax purposes versus the lower rate of tax that The Math Channel
currently is obligated to pay based on certain compensation for each employee.
the Company has retained counsel to investigate and seek a resolution in this
matter. the accompanying financial statements do not reflect this potential
liability pending counsel's attempt to resolve this matter.
PRODUCTS
The Company's products consist of an extensive line of "Math Made Easy" and
"Reading Made Easy" DVD's and ancillary material for direct sale to consumers
via direct marketing primarily through internet advertising.
See "Sales Marketing & Distribution."
CURRENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company's Math Made Easy line covers all levels of math from pre-school
through elementary school as well as high school and college level. These
products are intended to provide a comprehensive review of the subject matter in
a condensed and efficient format. Typically, an entire year's course is
condensed into less than five hours of programming consisting of videotape or
DVD lesson reviews, accompanied by computer graphics and exercises. The average
math consumer order consists of a set of five educational videotapes or DVD's at
a price of $200. Sets of five videotapes are sold to schools at a price of $279,
and the Company has also entered into non-exclusive agreements with various
companies to distribute tapes of reading and literacy educational products as
part of its Reading Made Easy(TM) series. The products include reading
readiness, letter identification, grammar, and reading comprehension which cover
topics from preschool through junior high school. The various titles include
DVD's and workbooks. The Company purchases these products at discounted rates
from the respective manufacturers or distributors and then distributes them
through the Company's direct marketing division. The average reading consumer
order consists of five videotapes or DVD's at a price of $200 for each order.
The Company provides its customers with monthly tutoring subscriptions ranging
in price from $39.95 to $139.95. Additionally, the Company offers hourly
tutoring packages ranging from $45 to $65 per hour.
4
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company produces many of its own math DVD products and supplemental
workbooks developed by the Company's educational coordinators. The Company
employed Dr. Meryle Kohn, chairperson of the mathematics and science departments
at New York Institute of Technology, as its curriculum coordinator in the
production of many of its programs. The Company currently employs a staff of
educational writers and software developers who are currently preparing content
for the Company's subsidiary, Tutorialchannel.com. The Company plans on
producing additional titles in the mathematics field.
Many of the Company's DVD's include colorful computer graphics and real life
vignettes, certain of which are scripted by professional writers. The curriculum
writers seek to augment comprehension of the materials by numerous examples,
which are solved on a step by step basis. The curriculum invites interaction by
requesting the viewer to pause and to solve designated problems before
restarting the videotape to view the step by step solution.
Over the last year, the Company has made significant improvement in its delivery
system of online tutoring. The Company has introduced an automated scheduling
system on its tutorialchannel.com website. Students can easily schedule
convenient times for tutoring which is available day, evening and weekends. The
Company has also added an audio component which allows students to communicate
verbally with their tutor using the online application and simple headsets.
The Company has developed its own technology for the delivery of group online
sessions. This new technology enables the instructor to lecture to the group
online and invite verbal participation by electronically recognizing one student
at a time. This technology will facilitate the Company's current efforts to
market group test prep classes.
PRODUCT ACQUISITION
In addition to developing its own math products, the Company purchases products
from third parties.
THE MARKET
GENERALLY. Education is second only to health care in annual expenditures in the
U.S. representing almost ten percent of GNP, $400 to $600 billion. Fully 40
percent of students encounter some difficulty at various times mastering
mathematics and science. The loss of individualized instruction in many school
districts places an additional burden on the home, requiring supplemental
education products that are both informative and challenging.
Much of the activity in the for-profit education industry lies in post-secondary
education and in niches around the margins of traditional pre-collegiate
education. Those niches include tutoring, test preparation, college counseling,
electronic learning and the education of at-risk children.
The Company's Math Made Easy and TutorialChannel.com website lie at the
intersection of the consumer market for educational and developmental products
for children, and the increasing acceptance of Internet-based commerce.
Traditional retailers of educational products, including mass market retailers,
typically lack a focus on education, do not evaluate the products they offer and
may not understand the development needs of individual children.
In addition, these retailers often have a narrow product selection due to
physical space limitations, have high facilities and staffing costs, offer
limited service, and lack merchandising flexibility and shopping convenience.
Because of the limitations of the traditional retail distribution channel, the
Internet has the potential to become a key resource utilized by parents to pick
from a broad range of educational products and services to meet children's
needs.
Education has boomed as a for-profit industry in the past few years for the
following reasons:
In the last five years we have seen one report after another decrying the
condition of public education.
Parents are more willing than ever to spend money to supplement their children's
schooling and give them a leg-up in the college admissions process. That trend
has particularly benefited tutoring and test-prep companies.
5
EDUCATION AND THE INTERNET. As a result of a number of societal trends,
including constraints on school budgets and the increasing use of standardized
tests, many parents are taking a more active role in their children's education.
In their efforts to help their children learn, improve their children's
standardized test scores and make learning fun, parents are increasingly
purchasing educational books, toys and games, and software over the Internet.
Parents are faced with the challenge of finding quality educational products and
selecting the right products for their children. With thousands of educational
products to choose from and few reliable sources of information, finding the
appropriate products for a specific child's needs and goals can be overwhelming
and confusing. Parents seek a resource for comprehensive and trusted educational
content and product information to help them make informed purchase decisions.
The Company's management vision is to develop a broad array of focused tutorial
programs offered by sale and subscription over the Internet and to be identified
as the premier source in this category.
SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION AT HOME. The Company believes that parents are
increasingly concerned about the quality of their children's education and are
seeking to supplement the existing curricula. In particular, they are seeking to
use computers and DVD players now found in most homes for educational purposes.
In addition, the Company believes that adults going back to school to prepare
for career moves or promotions are an ever growing potential market for its
educational DVD's. The Company has found that its primary customers are parents
with children in the educational system. The Company's efforts to date have
resulted in a database of more than 550,000 names, of which 325,000 ordered
product, and approximately 250,000 names of potential customers.
HOME SCHOOLING AT THE MARKET. As the home schooling phenomenon continues to
grow, the Company plans to direct its on-line teaching and tutorial services to
meet the needs of these students. Often, home schoolers need supplemental review
and tutorial services. The Company can satisfy the needs of these home schoolers
through its online tutorial subscriptions which combine on-line live tutoring
with its online test banks and practice exercises. The Company plans on
initiating a focused internet advertising campaign targeted at home school
parents.
SAT PREPARATION. The Company plans on initiating a focused advertising campaign
utilizing search engine advertising and an internet public relations campaign to
galvanize business for its on-line SAT Prep division. The Company expects the
SAT prep to become a significant growth area in its total portfolio of tutorial
services. The Company believes that its online tutorial services make it an
attractive source for schools and college sales. In each of the fiscal years
ended February 29, 2008 and 2007, consumer videotape and DVD sales and school
videotape and DVD sales constituted approximately 95%, and 5%, respectively, of
total educational sales.
SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company sells its programs on DVD to schools and consumers. The Company
maintains an in house sales force and is able to convert generally 10% of its
leads into customers. As the Company continues to expand its sales force it will
seek out new Internet advertising opportunities to increase its volume of leads.
The Company conducts an active outbound sales program to its past customers in
which it provides previous customers the follow-up course and tutoring at a
discounted price.
The Company maintains active relationships with several school and library
distributors who order a wide array of the Company's programs. Additionally, the
Company deals directly with a significant number of school districts who order
the Company's programs from time to time.
Credit cards are the preferred method of payment. Customer credit cards are
either billed in full or in partial monthly payments. Schools are invoiced for
their purchases. The Company also offers consumers who do not wish to use their
credit card another means of payment; an automatic check debit, in which the
customer is shipped the merchandise after the customer submits to the Company
their bank name and checking account routing number.
PERSONNEL AND TRAINING
The Company believes that the quality of its employees is a key factor in its
effort to develop a profitable sales business. All salespeople receive a
detailed review of each product they will be selling. In addition, the Company
trains its salespeople in the art of converting an inquiry into a sale. A
salesperson is in training for approximately five days, prior to working on a
full-time basis. Furthermore, the Company continually monitors sales
conversations to assure quality and customer satisfaction. Compensation is based
on a combination of salary and commission. See "Employees" and "Risk Factors."
6
RETURNS, GUARANTY AND WARRANTY POLICIES
The Company offers its customers a 30 day money back guarantee during which
period they may return the merchandise for an exchange or full credit. The
Company believes that a money back guaranty policy is essential to the success
of its sales efforts. In addition, management of the Company has implemented
policies and procedures intended to minimize the number of returned products.
These policies and procedures include increasing the appeal of the Company's
products by designing more attractive packaging, and enclosing with its
shipments full color catalogues and parent guides. In addition, the customer
service department, which must be contacted before merchandise is returned, has
been trained to specifically reduce returns.
SEASONALITY
The Company's educational sales business is highly seasonal. Demand falls off
significantly during summer and mid-winter school vacation periods. This
seasonality greatly affects the Company's advertising campaigns, which must be
timed to coincide with the annual periods when demand is traditionally high.
ADVERTISING AVAILABILITY
In the Internet arena, as more advertisers compete for web customers,
advertising prices may significantly increase, reducing the Company's
profitability.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company currently has trademarks for the following: MATH MADE EASY, PASSPORT
TO MATH SUCCESS and REAL LIFE MATH.
COMPETITION
The Company's educational DVD offerings compete with a variety of software
related tutorials of well established companies, who market their materials in
computer software related stores. These companies typically provide a
significant advertising budget to support their retail sales programs. In
addition, the Company's self help tutorial programs compete with local and
national privately owned learning centers such as Sylvan Learning Corp, Kumon,
Huntington Learning as well as Kaplan's educational testing centers. These
companies allocate many millions of dollars to support the branding of these
centers. Almost all of these competitors have greater financial resources,
greater public and industry recognition and broader marketing capabilities than
our Company. The market is also characterized by numerous small companies, with
whose products the Company may be unfamiliar, and which may be competitive with
the Company's products. The Company's products also compete with other methods
of education such as private tutors and televised programs. With respect to the
Company's new marketing through Internet advertising, the Company recognizes
that the Internet currently hosts many other educational and children related
sites that include competitive educational software. This could diminish demand
for the Company's products.
As the Company expands its entry into the online tutoring marketplace, it faces
growing competition from well funded companies such as Tutor.com and Tutor Vista
and a host of smaller companies. The Company distinguishes itself from most of
its competitors in that it relies exclusively on American tutors who are fluent
and articulate English speakers.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
In response to the concerns of consumer advocacy groups and as a result of the
practices of a number of unscrupulous telemarketing companies, the Federal Trade
Commission and the Federal Communications Commission have promulgated rules
regulating the telemarketing industry. The Company is not directly affected by
the new government regulations restricting unsolicited calls to consumers who
place themselves on a "do not call" list since the Company does not initiate any
cold calls to consumers who have not made a prior inquiry to the Company.
Nevertheless, the pervasive negative opinion on telesales calls could adversely
affect the Company's sales campaigns.
EMPLOYEES
As of May 15, 2008, the Company had twenty five (25) employees, of whom two were
executive officers, twelve were tutors, eight were engaged in sales, and three
were in marketing, support and administration. The Company has made significant
reductions in personnel in order to reduce overhead expenses. The Company
routinely retains outside consultants to augment its computer, telephone and
telemarketing expertise. The Company also relies on several outside consultants
for expertise in hardware, software and curriculum development. The Company
believes that its relationship with its employees is generally satisfactory.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
During the year ended February 29, 2008, the Company and its subsidiary, the
Math Channel, received a notice of assessment from the New York State Department
of Labor in the amount of approximately $15,000. The DOL claiming a
predecessor/successor relationship between the Company and The Math Channel,
wherein the company maintained a higher percentage of tax assessed for
unemployment tax purposes versus the lower rate of tax that The Math Channel
currently is obligated to pay based on certain compensation for each employee.
the Company has retained counsel to investigate and seek a resolution in this
matter. the accompanying financial statements do not reflect this potential
liability pending counsel's attempt to resolve this matter.
The Company had made a settlement with one of its creditors that had begun
litigation on January 6, 2000 in Superior Court, Judicial District of
Stanford/Norwalk, whereby it has settled a $235,000 claim for $190,000 with a
29-month payout schedule. The Company has paid approximately $30,000 in honor of
this settlement; however, since the creditor has not honored the terms of the
settlement agreement to activate and to provide upgrades of its software, the
Company has discontinued its schedule of payments. The creditor sued the Company
in the state of Connecticut but the court ruled that the creditor could not
proceed with the suit in the State of Connecticut. This case has not been
reopened by the creditor.
In August, 2004 the Company settled with its largest creditor to whom it owed
approximately $600,000. The case was originally brought in New York in 2001. The
creditor has settled for $150,000 with a four year payout schedule.
The Company is currently conforming to the schedule. The original judgment that
the creditor held against the Company was withdrawn. However, the creditor has a
stipulated judgment whereby in the event that the Company defaults on its
payments the creditor can obtain a judgment for the remaining balance plus a
penalty of $150,000.
The Company is subject to a claim for federal payroll and unemployment taxes for
approximately, $400,000, and $100,000, respectively, which the Company is
disputing. With regard to the federal payroll taxes, the Company has received
notice of a levy in the amount of $83,448.33 against certain of the Company's
assets. It has also received notice from the Federal Government and the
Department of Labor of various liens with regard to the above arrears. The
Company has filed a 941c adjustment which should eliminate all or at least a
substantial portion of these tax arrears. It is doing so under advice of legal
counsel who specializes in payroll tax issues. There is no assurance that the
Company will be successful in resolving this dispute and having these liens
removed.
8
On February 2, 2000, the Company converted an account payable of $135,500 due to
its former accountants, Holtz Rubenstein & Co., LLP, into a one-year Series B
Note, in the principal amount of $135,500, bearing interest at the rate of 10%
per annum. As of February 2001, this note has expired and Holtz Rubinstein & Co
has received a judgment for $120,000. The complaint by Holtz Rubenstein was
entered April, 2001 in Supreme Court, Suffolk County.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2008:
For the year ended February 29, 2008, as related to the conversion of a $67,000
demand note payable plus accrued interest of $605 into a Series E note payable
the Company issued 1,025,175 share of common stock. These common shares have
been valued at $99,005, and have been recorded as a discount on debt, that was
to have been amortized and expensed as interest over the life of the debt, or
until such time as the debt was converted.
In addition, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion of $12,500 related
to the Series E having an immediate conversion provision that was below market
on the date of conversion. The Series E debt is convertible at $.50 per share,

RISK FACTORS
The Company's business involves a high degree of risk. Shareholders and
investors should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other
information included in this Report.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES.
The Company has experienced significant losses from operations since inception.
It experienced losses of approximately $1,532,070 and $823,299 for the fiscal
years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively. As of
February 29, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately
$6,324,526 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $22,025,837. The
Company's working capital requirements have been met primarily from loans and
private sales of securities provided by management and other investors, but
there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain such funds in the
future. As of February 29, 2008, the Company had outstanding loans and advances
aggregating approximately $2,784,774, of which $1,326,390 may be converted into
equity. Notes payable totaling $2,134,774 are either due on demand or past due.
Notes payable totaling $650,000 are due during the fiscal year ended February
28, 2011. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to convert the debt
to equity, or generate the funds from operations or further financings to repay
these obligations. Currently, the Company's sales volume is not sufficient to
repay this indebtedness. In addition, the Company's operating expenses are
anticipated to increase significantly in the future if the Company is able to
implement its expanded marketing strategy. Although the Company is seeking
additional funds to allow it to repay its current debt, expand its customized
sales operations and develop its e-commerce business plan, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not continue to experience such losses or will
ever generate revenues at levels sufficient to support profitable operations.
The Company has received a report from their independent public accountants,
which includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and "Consolidated Financial
Statements."

The Company has retained Counsel to investigate and seek a resolution in this
matter. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect this potential
liability pending Counsel's attempt to resolve this matter.
WE MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATION IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING..
The Company has limited resources and has not been able to finance its
activities with the proceeds from operations and there can be no assurance it
will be able to do so in the future. The Company is actively seeking sources of
additional financing in order to meet its debt repayment obligations and to
maintain and potentially expand its current operations. If the Company is
unsuccessful in obtaining additional financing, the Company may be forced to
cease operations. Even if the Company is able to obtain funding, there can be no
assurance that a sufficient level of sales will be attained to fund such
operations or that unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. Future events,
including the problems, delays expenses and difficulties frequently encountered
by similarly situated companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or
competitive conditions, may lead to cost increases that could make the net
proceeds of any new funding and cash flow from operations insufficient to fund
the Company's capital requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company
will be able to obtain such additional funding from management or other
investors on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Additional financings
may result in dilution for then current stockholders. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation."
ANY FUTURE ISSUANCES OF STOCK WILL CAUSE DILUTION TO OUR CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS.
The Company currently has outstanding options, warrants and other rights to
acquire an aggregate of approximately 20,349,348 shares of Common Stock and as
of June 3, 2008, the price of the Company's current stock as quoted on the NASD
Electronic Bulletin Board was approximately $.03 per share. Any future issuances
may substantially dilute the holdings of the Company's current stockholders.
Furthermore, such issuances could result in a change of control of the Company.
See "Need for Additional Financing."
INCREASED CONSUMER RETURNS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR REVENUE.
The Company typically experiences returns of 25% from customers which is
standard for the industry. Increased consumer returns due to the perceived
inferiority or ineffectiveness of our products could have a material adverse
effect on our revenues and cause our business to fail.
17
WE COMPETE WITH OTHER INTERNET AND OTHER MEDIA ADVERTISERS WHO HAVE GREAT
RESOURCES THAN US.
Over the past few years the Company has shifted its advertising dollars from
radio and TV to Internet and has thereby eliminated its dependence on the
seasonal swings in advertising inventory which fluctuates widely for TV and
radio. The Company plans to expand its media campaign to radio and TV
advertising and be subject once again to these fluctuations. In the Internet
arena, as more advertisers compete for web customers, advertising prices may
significantly increase, reducing the Company's profitability.
OUR PRODUCTS ARE DISCRETIONARY ITEMS AND DEMAND MAY DECREASE DUE TO DOWNTURNS IN
THE ECONOMY.
Our products are discretionary consumer goods. Downturns in the economic
climate, whether actual or perceived, may decrease people's discretionary income
or desire to spend such income and decrease consumer demand and the performance
of the Company's own advertising campaign on behalf of its own products.
WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON OUR MATH MADE EASY(TM) PRODUCT LINE.
In the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, most of the Company's educational
sales were from the Math Made Easy(TM) product line and its online tutoring
services. The Company is currently selling its math programs in both videotape,
DVD, and CD Rom formats. Many of the educational product companies have
reconfigured their videotape based programs into interactive computer software.
The Company has plans to do this as well but may lack the financing to
successfully complete this project.
Although the Company is continually seeking to introduce additional product
lines there can be no assurance that these new product lines will generate
significant sales. In the event that the popularity of the Math Made Easy(TM)
product line decreases or faces increased competition, the Company's sales would
be adversely affected and if not replaced by substantially increased sales from
other products, the Company could be forced to cease operations.
CONSUMERS MIGHT BE RELUCTANT TO MAKE PURCHASES OVER THE PHONE WITH THEIR CREDIT
CARDS.
Credit card frauds perpetrated by disreputable telemarketing operations have
adversely affected the willingness of the consumers to make use of their credit
cards by telephone. This may adversely affect the Company's ability to secure
credit card orders.
WE, LIKE MOST SALES DRIVEN BUSINESSES, HAVE A HIGH SALES FORCE TURNOVER RATE.
Recruiting, training and retaining qualified salespeople are essential for the
Company. There is a high turnover rate among salespeople as a result of the
frustration of the sales process, the high pressure atmosphere, and the reliance
on commissions as a major component of salaries. The training of salespeople
involves learning a complex product line and special sales techniques. In
addition, it is essential that the Company utilize the optimal number of
salespeople for its level of advertisements and the number of clients it is
servicing. Too many advertisements may overwhelm the salespeople while too few
advertisements may lead to a drop in the commissions, which will cause the
salespeople to leave the Company. Furthermore, the ability of the Company to
convert leads into sales is largely dependent on the expertise of its
salespeople. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue
to recruit and retain a qualified team of salespeople.
WE ARE IN A COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY.
The Company's educational DVD offerings compete with a variety of software
related tutorials of well established companies, who market their materials in
computer software related stores. These companies typically provide a
significant advertising budget to support their retail sales programs. In
addition, the Company's self help tutorial programs compete with local and
national privately owned learning centers such as Sylvan Learning Corp, Kumon,
Huntington Learning as well as Kaplan's educational testing centers. These
companies allocate many millions of dollars to support the branding of these
centers. Almost all of these competitors have greater financial resources,
greater public and industry recognition and broader marketing capabilities than
our Company. The market is also characterized by numerous small companies, with
whose products the Company may be unfamiliar, and which may be competitive with
the Company's products. The Company's products also compete with other methods
of education such as private tutors and televised programs. With respect to the
Company's new marketing through Internet advertising, the Company recognizes
that the Internet currently hosts many other educational and children related
sites that include competitive educational software. This could diminish demand
for the Company's products.
18
As the Company expands its entry into the online tutoring marketplace, it faces
growing competition from well funded companies such as Tutor.com and Tutor Vista
and a host of smaller companies. The Company distinguishes itself from most of
its competitors in that it relies exclusively on American tutors who are fluent
and articulate English speakers.
WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM.
The Company's business is significantly dependent upon the personal efforts and
continued availability of Barry Reichman, its Chief Executive Officer. The loss
or unavailability to the Company of Mr. Reichman could have a Material adverse
effect upon the Company's business operations and prospects. To the extent that
the services of Mr. Reichman are unavailable to the Company for any reason, the
Company would be required to procure other personnel to manage and operate the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to locate or
employ such personnel on acceptable terms, if at all.
OUR TELEPHONE SALES TEAM COULD FACE THE PUBLIC'S UNFAVORABLE ASSOCIATION WITH
UNSOLICITED TELEMARKETERS.
In response to the concerns of consumer advocacy groups and as a result of the
practices of a number of unscrupulous telemarketing companies, the Federal Trade
Commission and the Federal Communications Commission have promulgated rules
regulating the telemarketing industry. The Company is not directly affected by
the new government regulations restricting unsolicited calls to consumers who
place themselves on a "do not call" list since the Company does not initiate any
cold calls to consumers who have not made a prior inquiry to the Company.
Nevertheless, the pervasive negative opinion on telesales calls could adversely
affect the Company's sales campaigns.
WE WERE DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ SMALL-CAP MARKET FOR FAILURE TO MEET
MAINTENANCE CRITERIA AND OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK RULES.
On April 17, 1997, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Automated Quotation System Stock Market ("NASDAQ") delisted the Company's Common
Stock and Warrants from trading on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market because the
minimum bid price of the Company's Common Stock had been below the requirement
of $1.00 per share. In order to regain a listing for the Company's securities on
the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market, the Company's Common Stock must have a minimum bid
price of $4.00 per share and at least three market makers for the trading
securities. In addition, the Company must either have $4,000,000 in net tangible
assets, a market capitalization of at least $50,000,000, or net income of at
least $750,000 in its most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three
last completed fiscal years, and the Company must have at least 1,000,000
publicly traded shares not held by affiliates of the Company ("public float"),
with a market value of at least $5,000,000, and at least 300 stockholders of
record. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to meet the
requirements for re-listing on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.
If the Company's securities are again listed on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market, in
order to maintain such listing the Company must continue to be registered under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). In
addition, NASDAQ has proposed increasing the requirements for maintaining a
NASDAQ Small-Cap listing to require either: (1) net tangible assets of at least
$2,000,000, (2) a market capitalization of $35,000,000 or (3) net income in at
least two of the last three years of $500,000, and at least 300 holders of
record, a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, at least two market makers and a
public float of at least 500,000 shares with a market value of at least
$1,000,000. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to meet the
requirements for maintaining a listing on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market.
Failure to regain or to maintain NASDAQ Small-Cap Market listing will probably
depress the market value of the Common Stock and purchasers likely would find it
more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market
value of, the Common Stock.
19
In addition, if the Company cannot obtain a NASDAQ Small-Cap Market listing for
its securities, and no other exclusion from the definition of a "penny stock"
under the Exchange Act is available, then the Company's stock will continue to
be subject to additional federal and state regulatory requirements. Rule 15g-9
under the Exchange Act, among other things requires that broker/dealers satisfy
sales practice requirements, including making individualized written suitability
determinations and receiving any purchaser's written consent prior to any
transaction. The Company's securities could also be deemed penny stocks under
the Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, which requires
additional disclosure in connection with trades in the Company's securities,
including the delivery of a disclosure schedule explaining the nature and risks
of the penny stock market. Such requirements can severely limit the liquidity of
the Company's securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities
in the secondary market.
THERE IS A LIMITED PUBLIC TRADING MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES.
There is only a limited public trading market for the Company's securities and
no assurances can be given that a liquid market will develop or, if developed,
that it will continue to be maintained. There can be no assurance that a more
active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be maintained.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will obtain re-listing
of its securities on NASDAQ.
LIMITATION OF USE OF NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARDS.
As of February 29, 2008, the Company had federal net operating loss carry
forwards of approximately $22,025,837 portions of which expire yearly through
2027 (subject to certain limitations). This balance gives effect to annual
limitations on the utilization of the loss carry forwards caused by "ownership
changes" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If there is any
additional ownership change, there can be no assurance as to the specific amount
of net operating loss carry forwards available in any post-change year since the
calculation is based upon a fact-dependent formula. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis or Plan of Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK; POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT.
Certain provisions of Delaware law and the Company's certificate of
incorporation and by-laws could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or
proxy contest involving the Company, even if such events could be beneficial to
the interests of the stockholders. The Board of Directors has the authority to
issue up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix
the number of shares constituting any such series, the voting powers,
designation, preferences and relative participation, optional or other special
rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including the
dividend rights and dividend rate, terms of redemption (including sinking fund
provisions), redemption price or prices, conversion rights and liquidation
preferences of the shares constituting any series, without any further vote or
action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock by the Board of
Directors could adversely affect the rights of the holders of Common Stock. For
example, such issuance could result in a class of securities outstanding that
would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in
liquidation over the Common Stock, and could (upon conversion or otherwise)
enjoy all of the rights pertinent to Common Stock. The authority possessed by
the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could potentially be used to
discourage attempts by others to obtain control of the Company through a merger,
tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult
to achieve or more costly. Such provisions could limit the price that certain
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company's
Common Stock or preferred stock.

ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CEO and CFO Certifications
As of the end of the year covered by this annual report, the Company carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ("the Certifying
Officers"), an evaluation of the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and
procedures." The certifications of the CEO and the CFO required by Rules
13a-14(a) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Certifications") are filed as exhibits to this report.
This section of this report contains information concerning the evaluation of
our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) ("Disclosure Controls") and changes to internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)) ("Internal Controls") referred to in the Certifications and should be
read in conjunction with the Certifications for a more complete understanding of
the topics presented.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that they are
able to collect the information that is required to be disclosed in the reports
they file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and to
process, summarize and disclose this information within the time period
specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company Chief Executive and Chief
Financial Officer are responsible for establishing, maintaining and enhancing
these procedures. The office is also responsible, as required by the rules
established by the SEC, for the evaluation of the effectiveness of these
procedures.
Based on management's evaluation (with participation of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by
this report, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that a deficiency was identified in the Company's internal controls
over financial reporting which constituted a "material weakness." Accordingly,
management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective.
The material weakness was the result of an insufficient number of personnel
having adequate knowledge, experience and training to provide effective, and
timely, oversight and review over the Company's financial close and reporting
process.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company's management does not expect that their disclosure controls or their
internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system
are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the
benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These
limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a
control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions
about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
may not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with
management's general or specific authorization; transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").
It is the responsibility of Company's management to establish and maintain
adequate internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness
identified relates to an insufficient number of personnel having adequate
knowledge, experience and training to provide effective oversight and review
over our financial close and reporting process. This is the result of limited
financial resources. These control deficiencies in the aggregate did not result
in any misstatements in the interim and fiscal year end consolidated financial
statements. Management is in the process of remedying the material weakness
described above.
21
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a
system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an
issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal
executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was
completed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered
by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective, to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and
forms. There have been no changes to the Company's internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter of the year
ended February 29, 2008, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in
reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation
of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and
expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management
authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our
financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not
intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial
statements would be prevented or detected.
Although management did not conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission, it has concluded that notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting are
effective, and no material weaknesses in financial reporting have been
discovered upon our year-end evaluation. As noted in this Annual Report, we have
limited resources available. As we obtain additional funding and employ
additional personnel, we will implement programs to ensure the proper
segregation of duties and reporting channels.
This Form 10-KSB does not include an attestation report of the Company's
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that
permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers and directors,
and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's
equity securities pursuant to section 12, to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers,
directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or
written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that
during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, no reports were required to be
filed under Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act by any of the Company's executive
officers, directors or 10% beneficial owners because the Company does not have a
class of stock which is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct that applies to
our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal
accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions in
that our officers and directors serves in all the above capacities. The Code of
Ethics and Code of Business Conduct are attached to this annual statement as
Exhibits 14.1 and 14.2 respectively.
23
AUDIT, NOMINATING AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEES
Our Board of Directors does not have standing audit, nominating or compensation
committees, and our Board of Directors performs the functions that would
otherwise be delegated to such committees. Currently, our Board of Directors
believes that the cost of establishing such committees, including the costs
necessary to recruit and retain qualified independent directors to serve on our
Board of Directors and such committees and the legal costs to properly form and
document the authority, policies and procedures of such committees are not
justified under our current circumstances.
ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation paid to
our "named executive officers" as defined in Rule 402(a)(2) under Regulation
S-B. Compensation accrued during one year and paid in another is recorded under
the year of accrual.

vested on the date of grant and terminate on the tenth anniversary of the
date of the grant.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
On January 1, 2005 The Company has entered into five year employment agreements
with Barry Reichman, Anne Reichman and Harold Reichman pursuant to which they
are paid annual base salaries of $100,000, $75,000 and $50,000 respectively.
Harold Reichman has waived his annual salary of $50,000 until such time that the
Company is profitable. Unpaid salaries for the other executives are accounted
for in accrued expenses. These employment agreements require the issuance of
options to these employees at the market price.
24
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") provides for the
granting of options to purchase not more than an aggregate of 350,000 shares of
Common Stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Such options
may be Incentive Stock Options ("ISO") within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Non-Qualified Stock Options ("NQSO"). The
Stock Option Plan expired on March 31, 2004. The Company has granted 279,953
options under the Stock Option Plan.
The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a stock
option committee (the "Committee") which may be appointed by the Board of
Directors. To date the Board has not appointed a Committee. The Committee has
full power and authority to interpret the provisions, and supervise the
administration, of the Stock Option Plan. The Committee determines, subject to
the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, to whom options are granted, the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to each option, whether an option shall be an
ISO or a NQSO and the period during which each option may be exercised. In
addition, the Committee determines the exercise price of each option, subject to
the limitations provided in the Stock Option Plan, including that (i) for a NQSO
the exercise price per share may not be less than 85% of the fair market value
per share of Common Stock on the date of grant and (ii) for an ISO the exercise
price per share may not be less than the fair market value per share of Common
Stock on the date of grant (110% of such fair market value if the grantee owns
stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of
the Company's stock). In determining persons to whom options will be granted and
the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each option, the Committee
considers various factors including each eligible person's position and
responsibilities, service and accomplishments, anticipated length of future
service and other relevant factors. Options may be granted under the Stock
Option Plan to all officers, directors and employees of the Company and, in
addition, NQSO may be granted to other parties who perform services for the
Company. No options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan, after March 31,
2004. The Stock Option Plan may be amended from time to time by the Board of
Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors may not, however, without
stockholder approval, amend the Stock Option Plan to increase the number of
shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Stock Option Plan (except
upon changes in capitalization as specified in the Stock Option Plan), decrease
the minimum exercise price provided in the plan or change the class of persons
eligible to participate in the plan.
During the year ended February 28, 2006, the Company established the 2006
Incentive Compensation Plan ("2006 Plan"). Underlying the 2006 Plan a total of
3,600,000 shares are available to be granted. As of February 29, 2008, 2,686,250
shares were granted under this plan. The 2006 Plan is effective from June 13,
2006 through June 13, 2011.

INDEMNITY
The Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification to the full extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware for each person who becomes a
party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that
he, or his testator, or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the
corporation or served any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or
foreign in any capacity at the request of the corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act 1993"), as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy, as expressed in the Act 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Multi-Media Tutorial Services, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Multi-Media
Tutorial Services, Inc. and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2008 and
February 28, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Multi-Media Tutorial
Services, Inc. as of February 29, 2008, the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America,
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Multi-Media Tutorial Services, Inc will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has
incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $22,025,837. The Company
incurred a net loss for the period ended February 29, 2008 of approximately
$1,532,070 and had negative working capital at February 29, 2008 of
approximately $6,324,526 The Internal Revenue Service has imposed a federal tax
lien on substantially all of the Company's assets as the Company is in arrears
on payments of payroll taxes of approximately $500,000. These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MULTI-MEDIA TUTORIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2008 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2007
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Multi-Media Tutorial Services, Inc., ("MMTS") a Delaware corporation, is engaged
in the production and sales of educational videocassettes, CD's and DVD's
through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Video Tutorial Services, Inc. ("VTS") and
Math Channel, Inc. ("Math Channel"). VTS, a New York State corporation was
established in 1985. Math Channel, a New York State corporation was established
in December 2005 to provide tutorial one-on-one on line educational services.
Henceforth VTS, Math Channel or MMTS are to be referred to as the "Company",
unless reference is made to the respective company. The Company sells its
educational products and services on the Internet via the Company's website,
Mathmadeeasy.com and through its own inbound and outbound sales force.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN; INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FEDERAL TAX LIEN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
suffered recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit of $22,025,837 and a
working capital deficiency of $6,324,526 at February 29, 2008. Also, the
Internal Revenue Service has placed a federal tax lien on substantially all of
the Company's assets as the Company is in arrears on payment of payroll taxes,
accrued prior to February 28, 2004 of approximately $500,000. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans with respect to these matters include restructuring
its existing debt, settling its existing debt by issuing shares of its common
stock and raising additional capital through future issuance of stock and or
debentures. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MMTS
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Video Tutorial Services, Inc. ("VTS") and
Math Channel, Inc. ("Math Channel"). All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Action Telesales and
Communications, Inc. is an affiliated company of the Company which handles the
billing process for MMTS and VTS. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
ESTIMATES
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original
maturity of nine months or less when purchased as cash equivalents.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed
federally insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any
losses on these accounts.
F-5
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of the Company's financial
instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued payroll and other expenses, the carrying amounts approximate
fair value due to their short maturities. The amount shown for notes payable
also approximates fair value because the current interest rates offered to the
Company for debt of similar maturities are substantially the same.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Effective March 1, 2006, the Company began recording compensation expense
associated with stock-based awards and other forms of equity compensation in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123-R,
Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123R") as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107. The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method
provided for under SFAS 123R and consequently has not retroactively adjusted
results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost
associated with stock-based awards recognized in the first nine months of fiscal
year 2007 included 1) nine months amortization related to the remaining unvested
portion of stock-based awards granted prior to December 15, 2005, based on the
grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of
SFAS 123R; and 2) would include nine months amortization related to stock-based
awards granted subsequent to March 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. In addition, the
Company records expense over the vesting period in connection with stock options
granted. The compensation expense for stock-based awards includes an estimate
for forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award on a
straight line basis.
Prior to March 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards using the
intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25").
Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, no compensation expense was
recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations when the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock option grant equaled the market
price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and the measurement
date of the option grant is certain. Under SFAS 123R, the Company measures the
intrinsic value of the options at the end of each reporting period until the
options are exercised, cancelled or expire unexercised.
Compensation expense in any given period is calculated as the difference between
total earned compensation at the end of the period, less total earned
compensation at the beginning of the period. Compensation earned is calculated
on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for any given option
award.
When the stock options are granted, the fair value of each option grant is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the
assumptions noted in the following table. The assumptions in the table below are
weighted based on all options granted in the respective period.
