Organization

Mandalay Media, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Mediavest, Inc. (“Mediavest”) was originally incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 6, 1998 under the name eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 27, 2000, it merged into DynamicWeb Enterprises Inc., a New Jersey corporation, the surviving company, and changed its name to eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 13, 2005, the Company changed its name to Mediavest, Inc. Through January 26, 2005, the Company and its former subsidiaries were engaged in providing business-to-business transaction management services designed to simplify trading between buyers and suppliers. The Company was inactive from January 26, 2005 through its merger with Twistbox Entertainment, Inc., February 12, 2008 (Note 6). On September 14, 2007, Mandalay Media, Inc. (Mandalay) was incorporated by Mediavest in the state of Delaware.

On November 7, 2007, Mediavest merged into its wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, Mandalay, with Mandalay as the surviving corporation. Mandalay issued: (1) one new share of common stock in exchange for each share of Mediavest’s outstanding common stock and (2) one new share of preferred stock in exchange for each share of Mediavest’s outstanding preferred stock as of November 7, 2007. Mandalay’s preferred and common stock assumed the same status and par value as Mediavest’s and acceded to all the rights, acquired all the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Mediavest.

On February 12, 2008, Mandalay completed a merger with Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (Twistbox) through an exchange of all outstanding capital stock of Twistbox for 10,180 shares of common stock of the Company and the Company’s assumption of all the outstanding options of Twistbox’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan by the issuance of options to purchases 2,463 shares of common stock of the Company, including 2,145 vested and 319 unvested options (the “Merger”).

After the Merger, Twistbox became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the company’s only active subsidiary.

Twistbox Entertainment Inc. (formerly known as The WAAT Corporation) is incorporated in the State of Delaware.

Twistbox is a global publisher and distributor of branded entertainment content, including images, video, TV programming and games, for Third Generation (3G) mobile networks. Twistbox publishes and distributes its content in a number of countries. Since operations began in 2003, Twistbox has developed an intellectual property portfolio that includes mobile rights to global brands and content from leading film, television and lifestyle content publishing companies. Twistbox has built a proprietary mobile publishing platform that includes: tools that automate handset portability for the distribution of images and video; a mobile games development suite that automates the porting of mobile games and applications to multiple handsets; and a content standards and ratings system globally adopted by major wireless carriers to assist with the responsible deployment of age-verified content. Twistbox has distribution agreements with many of the largest mobile operators in the world.

Twistbox is headquartered in the Los Angeles area and has offices in Europe and South America that provide local sales and marketing support for both mobile operators and third party distribution in their respective regions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KT, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company believes are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2008 and its results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet presented as of March 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, and the consolidated balance sheet presented as of June 30, 2008 has been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
 
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
Twistbox’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing material and software products in the form of products (Image Galleries, Wallpapers, video, WAP Site access, Mobile TV) and mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on a perpetual or subscription basis.

A perpetual license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset on a perpetual basis. A subscription license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset for a limited period of time, ranging from a few days to as long as one month. Twistbox distributes its products primarily through mobile telecommunications service providers (“carriers”), which market the product, images or games to end users. License fees for perpetual and subscription licenses are usually billed by the carrier upon download of the product, image or game by the end user. In the case of subscriber licenses, many subscriber agreements provide for automatic renewal until the subscriber opts-out, while the others provide opt-in renewal. In either case, subsequent billings for subscription licenses are generally billed monthly. Twistbox applies the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, to all transactions.

Revenues are recognized from our products, images and games when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. For both perpetual and subscription licenses, management considers a signed license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier and a “clickwrap” agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an end user. For these licenses, Twistbox defines delivery as the download of the product, image or game by the end user. Twistbox estimates revenues from carriers in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. Most carriers only provide detailed sales transaction data on a one to two month lag. Estimated revenue is treated as unbilled receivables until the detailed reporting is received and the revenues can be billed. Some carriers provide reliable interim preliminary reporting and others report sales data within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, both of which allow Twistbox to make reasonable estimates of revenues and therefore to recognize revenues during the reporting period when the end user licenses the product, image or game. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that Twistbox believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results may differ from Twistbox’s estimates, and those differences may be material. Twistbox’s estimates for revenues include consideration of factors such as preliminary sales data, carrier-specific historical sales trends, volume of activity on company monitored sites, seasonality, time elapsed from launch of services or product lines, the age of games and the expected impact of newly launched games, successful introduction of new handsets, growth of 3G subscribers by carrier, promotions during the period and economic trends. When Twistbox receives the final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, Twistbox records any differences between estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when Twistbox determines the actual amounts. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be reasonably estimated. If Twistbox is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenues to be recognized in the current period, Twistbox recognizes revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when Twistbox’s portion of licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is probable. To monitor the reliability of Twistbox’s estimates, management, where possible, reviews the revenues by country by carrier and by product line on a regular basis to identify unusual trends such as differential adoption rates by carriers or the introduction of new handsets. If Twistbox deems a carrier not to be creditworthy, Twistbox defers all revenues from the arrangement until Twistbox receives payment and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

6



In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, Twistbox recognizes as revenues the amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of Twistbox’s products, images or games. Twistbox has evaluated its carrier agreements and has determined that it is not the principal when selling its products, images or games through carriers. Key indicators that it evaluated to reach this determination include:

 
wireless subscribers directly contract with the carriers, which have most of the service
   
interaction and are generally viewed as the primary obligor by the subscribers;
 
carriers generally have significant control over the types of content that they offer to their
   
subscribers;
 
carriers are directly responsible for billing and collecting fees from their subscribers, including the resolution of billing disputes;
 
carriers generally pay Twistbox a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed fee for
   
each game;
 
carriers generally must approve the price of Twistbox’s content in advance of their sale to subscribers, and Twistbox’s more significant carriers generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their subscribers; and
 
Twistbox has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit risk

While not a significant portion of revenue, in some instances revenue is earned by delivering a product or service direct to the end user of that product or service. In those cases Twistbox records as revenue the amount billed to that end user and recognizes the revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.
 
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share 
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares from stock options and warrants and the conversion of the Series A preferred stock for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 consisted of 5,060 and  671 shares, respectively, and were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they were anti-dilutive in each period.

7



Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) consists of two components, net income/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss). Other comprehensive income/(loss) refers to gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income/(loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income/(loss) currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Content Provider License Fees and Minimum Guarantees
The Company’s royalty expenses consist of fees that it pays to branded content owners for the
use of their intellectual property in the development of the Company’s games and other content, and other expenses directly incurred in earning revenue. Royalty-based obligations are either accrued as incurred and subsequently paid, or in the case of longer term content acquisitions, paid in advance and capitalized on our balance sheet as prepaid royalties. These royalty-based obligations are expensed to cost of revenues either at the applicable contractual rate related to that revenue or over the estimated life of the prepaid royalties. Advanced license payments that are not recoupable against future royalties are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the branded title or the term of the license agreement.

The Company’s contracts with some licensors include minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which are payable regardless of the ultimate volume of sales to end users. Each quarter, the Company evaluates the realization of its royalties as well as any unrecognized guarantees not yet paid to determine amounts that it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. The Company uses estimates of revenues, and share of the relevant licensor to evaluate the future realization of future royalties and guarantees. This evaluation considers multiple factors, including the term of the agreement, forecasted demand, product life cycle status, product development plans, and current and anticipated sales levels, as well as other qualitative factors. To the extent that this evaluation indicates that the remaining future guaranteed royalty payments are not recoverable, the Company records an impairment charge to cost of revenues and a liability in the period that impairment is indicated.
 
Content Acquired
Amounts paid to third party content providers as part of an agreement to make content available to the Company for a term or in perpetuity, without a revenue share, have been capitalized and are included in the balance sheet as prepaid expenses. These balances will be expensed over the estimated life of the material acquired.

Software Development Costs
The Company applies the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“SFAS No. 86”). SFAS No. 86 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product.

8



The Company has adopted the “tested working model” approach to establishing technological feasibility for its products and games. Under this approach, the Company does not consider a product or game in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the product or game that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final game and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs between the establishment of technological feasibility and the release of a product or game for sale; thus, the Company has expensed all software development costs as incurred. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile market; the gradual evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and mobile phones for which it develops products and games; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its products and games; the uncertainty regarding a product’s or game’s revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a product or game will be available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling products and games at any stage of the development process.
 
Product Development Costs
The Company charges costs related to research, design and development of products to
product development expense as incurred. The types of costs included in product development expenses include salaries, contractor fees and allocated facilities costs.

Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising, including direct response advertising, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense was $424 and 40 in the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Restructuring
The Company accounts for costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company records employee termination benefits as an operating expense when it communicates the benefit arrangement to the employee and it requires no significant future services, other than a minimum retention period, from the employee to earn the termination benefits.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity. Based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding approximates their fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation.
The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using current rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Statement of Operations amounts are translated at average rates in effect for the reporting period. The foreign currency translation adjustment (loss) of ($10) in the period ended June 30, 2008 has been reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of stockholders equity and comprehensive loss. Translation gains or losses are shown as a separate component of retained earnings.

Concentrations of Credit Risk.
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We have placed cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with a single high credit-quality institution. As of June 30, 2008 we did not have any long-term marketable securities. Most of our sales are made directly to large national Mobile Phone Operators in the countries that we operate. We have a significant level of business and resulting significant accounts receivable balance with one operator and therefore have a high concentration of credit risk with that operator. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential credit losses. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 25% of our gross accounts receivable outstanding was with one major customer. This customer accounted for 40% of our gross sales in the period ended June 30, 2008.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are 8 to 10 years for leasehold improvements and 5 years for other assets.

Goodwill
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), the Company’s goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles
Long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from three to ten years and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under SFAS No. 109, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities along with net operating losses, if it is more likely than not the tax benefits will be realized using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse. To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot be recognized, a valuation allowance is established if necessary.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2008. FIN 48 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold should be measured as the largest amount of the tax benefits, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of the provision for income taxes. We do not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next 12 months.

10



Stock-based compensation.
We have applied SFAS No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”) and accordingly, we record stock-based compensation expense for all of our stock-based awards.

Under FAS 123R, we estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense recognized represents the expense associated with the stock options we expect to ultimately vest based upon an estimated rate of forfeitures; this rate of forfeitures is updated as necessary and any adjustments needed to recognize the fair value of options that actually vest or are forfeited are recorded.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model, used to estimate the fair value of an award, requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock and an option’s expected life. As a result, the financial statements include amounts that are based upon our best estimates and judgments relating to the expenses recognized for stock-based compensation.

Preferred Stock

The Company applies the guidance enumerated in SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” and EITF Topic D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 150. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the classification and measurement principles of EITF Topic D-98. Accordingly, the Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to revenues for periods not yet reported by Carriers, liabilities recorded for future minimum guarantee payments under content licenses, accounts receivable allowances, and stock-based compensation expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

11


 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.”  This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB No. 133,” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 161 also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying under SFAS 133. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for periods prior to its initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”.  FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company’s operating subsidiary, Twistbox, has sustained substantial operating losses since commencement of operations.  In addition, the Company has incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and the majority of the Company’s assets are intangible assets and goodwill.

12


 
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which is in turn dependent on the Company reaching a positive cash flow position or obtaining additional financing, while maintaining adequate liquidity.
 
Management believes that actions undertaken to achieve this position provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. These actions include continued increases in revenues by introducing new products and revenue streams, continued expansion into new territories, reviewing additional financing options, reducing operating costs and accretive acquisitions.

Acquisitions/Purchase Price Accounting
 
Twistbox Entertainment Inc. and related entities

On February 12, 2008, Mandalay completed a merger with Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (Twistbox) through an exchange of all outstanding capital stock of Twistbox for 10,180 shares of common stock of the Company and the Company’s assumption of all the outstanding options of Twistbox’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan by the issuance of options to purchases 2,463 shares of common stock of the Company, including 2,145 vested and 318 unvested options. After the Merger, Twistbox became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Twistbox is a global publisher and distributor of branded entertainment content, including images, video, TV programming and games, for Third Generation (3G) mobile networks. It publishes and distributes its content globally and has developed an intellectual property portfolio unique to its target demographic that includes worldwide mobile rights to global brands and content from leading film, television and lifestyle content publishing companies. Twistbox has built a proprietary mobile publishing platform and has leveraged its brand portfolio and platform to secure “direct” distribution agreements with the largest mobile operators in the world. These factors contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.
 
In connection with the Merger, the Company guaranteed up to $8,250 of principal under an existing note of Twistbox in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in the note. In connection with the guaranty, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase 1,093 and 1,093 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $7.55 per share, and at $5.00 per share, (increasing to $7.55 per share, if not exercised in full by February 12, 2009), respectively, through July 30, 2011. The warrants have been included as part of the purchase consideration and have been valued using the Black Scholes method, using the stock price at the merger date of $4.75 per share discounted for certain restrictions, a volatility of 70%, and the exercise price and the expected time to vest for each group.
 
The purchase consideration was determined by an independent valuation to be $67,479, consisting of $66,025 attributed to the common stock and options exchanged and warrants issued, and $1,454 in transaction costs. The stock and options were valued using the Black Scholes method, using the stock price at the merger date of $4.75 per share, a volatility of 70%, and in the case of options the exercise price and the expected time to vest for each group. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company allocated the total purchase price of $67,479 to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date as follows:

The preliminary purchase price allocation, including the allocation of goodwill, will be updated as additional information becomes available. Merger related restructuring reserves include reserves for employee severance and for office relocation.

Unaudited Pro Forma Summary
 
The following pro forma consolidated amounts give effect to the acquisition of Twistbox by Mandalay Media accounted for by the purchase method of accounting as if it had occurred as at April 1, 2007, the beginning of the comparable three month period. The pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the transaction been in effect as of the beginning of the period presented and should not be construed as being representative of future operating results.

In July 2007 Twistbox entered into a debt financing agreement in the form of a Senior Secured Note amounting to $16,500, payable at 30 months. The holder of the Note was granted first lien over all of the Company’s assets. The Note carries interest of 9% annually for the first year and 10% subsequently, with semi-annual interest only payments. The agreement included certain restrictive covenants. In conjunction with the merger described in Note 6, the Company guaranteed up to $8,250 of the principal; and the restrictive covenants were modified, including a requirement for both Mandalay and Twistbox to maintain certain minimum cash balances. In connection with the guaranty, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase 1,093 and 1,093 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $7.55 per share, and at $5.00 per share, (increasing to $7.55 per share, if not exercised in full by February 12, 2009), respectively, through July 30, 2011. These warrants replaced warrants originally issued by Twistbox in conjunction with the Senior Secured Note.

Capital Stock Transactions

Preferred Stock

On October 3, 2006, the Company designated a Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share (Series A). The Series A holders shall be entitled to: (1) vote on an equal per share basis as common, (2) dividends on an if-converted basis and (3) a liquidation preference equal to the greater of $10, per share of Series A (subject to adjustment) or such amount that would have been paid on an if-converted basis. Each Series A holder may treat as a dissolution or winding up of the Company any of the following transactions: a consolidation, merger, sale of substantially all the assets of the company, issuance/sale of common stock of the Company constituting a majority of all shares outstanding and a merger/business combination, each as defined.

19


In addition, the Series A holders may convert, at their discretion, all or any of their Series A shares into the number of common shares equal to the number calculated by dividing the original purchase price of such Series A Preferred, plus the amount of any accumulated, but unpaid dividends, as of the conversion date, by the original purchase price (subject to certain adjustments) in effect at the close of business on the conversion date.

On August 3, 2006, the Company sold 100 shares of the Series A to Trinad Management, LLC (Trinad Management), an affiliate of Trinad Capital LP (Trinad Capital), one of the Company’s principal shareholders, for an aggregate sale price of $100, $1.00 per share. The Company recognized a one time, non-cash deemed preferred dividend of $43 because the fair value of our common stock at the time of the sale of $1.425 per share, was greater than the conversion price of $1.00 per share.

Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has an employee 401(k) savings plan (the “Plan”) covering full-time eligible employees. These employees may contribute eligible compensation up to the annual IRS limit. The Company does not make matching contributions.

 
12.
Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards to reduce future Federal income taxes of approximately $39,200, expiring in various years ranging through 2027. The Company may have had ownership changes, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, which may subject the NOL's to annual limitations which could reduce or defer the use of the NOL' carry-forwards.
 
In connection with the merger described in Note 6 above, the Company has recorded goodwill and intangibles which will have differing amortization for book and tax purposes. Goodwill and trademarks, amounting to $74,407 will not be amortized for book purposes, but will be subject to amortization for tax purposes, giving rise to a permanent difference. Other intangible assets, amounting to $6,875 will be amortized over a shorter period for book purposes than tax purposes, giving rise to timing differences. These differences will impact the Company’s NOL carry-forwards in the future.
 
As of June 30, 2008, realization of the Company's net deferred tax asset of approximately $16,575 was not considered more likely than not and, accordingly, a valuation allowance of $16,575 has been provided. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the valuation allowance increased by $1,825.
 
Management has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2008.
 

21


The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2008 and there was no difference between the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits recognized in the balance sheet prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and those after the adoption of FIN 48. There were no unrecognized tax benefits not subject to valuation allowance as at June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company will classify interest and penalties on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Litigation
The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business.

Subsequent Events
 
On May 16, 2008, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase video gaming company Green Screen Interactive Software, Inc. (“Green Screen”). In connection with the potential acquisition, the Company also provided a bridge loan of $2,000 to Green Screen on May 16, 2008 by purchasing a Convertible Secured Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000 (the “Note”) from Green Screen. The entire Note, plus interest ($2,028), was repaid on July 7, 2008. The letter of intent expired without execution of a definitive acquisition agreement, and has therefore been terminated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in this report. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to our management or us, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Transitional Report on Form 10-KT for the Transition Period ended March 31, 2008. Historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of the trends in operating results for any future period.
 
Unless the context otherwise indicates, the use of the terms “we,” “our” “us” or the “Company” refer to the business and operations of Mandalay Media, Inc. (“Mandalay”) through its sole operating and wholly-owned subsidiary, Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”).
 
Historical Operations of Mandalay Media, Inc.
 
Mandalay was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 6, 1998 under the name eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 27, 2000, Mandalay merged into DynamicWeb Enterprises Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and changed its name to eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 13, 2005, Mandalay changed its name to Mediavest, Inc. On November 7, 2007, through a merger, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware under the name Mandalay Media, Inc. On October 27, 2004, and as amended on December 17, 2004, Mandalay filed a plan for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Plan of Reorganization”). Under the Plan of Reorganization, as completed on January 26, 2005: (1) Mandalay’s net operating assets and liabilities were transferred to the holders of the secured notes in satisfaction of the principal and accrued interest thereon; (2) $400,000 were transferred to a liquidation trust and used to pay administrative costs and certain preferred creditors; (3) $100,000 were retained by Mandalay to fund the expenses of remaining public; (4) 3.5% of the new common stock of Mandalay (140,000 shares) was issued to the holders of record of Mandalay’s preferred stock in settlement of their liquidation preferences; (5) 3.5% of the new common stock of Mandalay (140,000 shares) was issued to common stockholders of record as of January 26, 2005 in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company; and (6) 93% of the new common stock of Mandalay (3,720,000 shares) was issued to the sponsor of the Plan of Reorganization in exchange for $500,000 in cash. Through January 26, 2005, Mandalay and its subsidiaries were engaged in providing business-to-business transaction management services designed to simplify trading between buyers and suppliers.
 
Prior to February 12, 2008, Mandalay was a public shell company with no operations, and controlled by its significant stockholder, Trinad Capital Master Fund, L.P.
 
SUMMARY OF THE MERGER
 
Mandalay entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on December 31, 2007, as subsequently amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 12, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Twistbox Acquisition, Inc., (a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mandalay (“Merger Sub”), Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”), and Adi McAbian and Spark Capital, L.P., as representatives of the stockholders of Twistbox, pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into Twistbox, with Twistbox as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The Merger was completed on February 12, 2008.
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of Twistbox common stock, $0.001 par value per share, on a fully-converted basis, with the conversion on a one-for-one basis of all issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Twistbox and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Twistbox, each $0.01 par value per share (the “Twistbox Preferred Stock”), converted automatically into and became exchangeable for Mandalay common stock in accordance with certain exchange ratios set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, by virtue of the Merger, each outstanding Twistbox option to purchase Twistbox common stock issued pursuant to the Twistbox 2006 Stock Incentive Plan was assumed by Mandalay, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such plan immediately prior to the Merger, except that (a) the number of shares of Mandalay common stock issuable upon exercise of each Twistbox option was determined by multiplying the number of shares of Twistbox common stock that were subject to such Twistbox option immediately prior to the Merger by 0.72967 (the “Option Conversion Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number; and (b) the per share exercise price for the shares of Mandalay common stock issuable upon exercise of each Twistbox option was determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Twistbox common stock subject to such Twistbox option, as in effect prior to the Merger, by the Option Conversion Ratio, subject to any adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Code. As part of the Merger, Mandalay also assumed all unvested Twistbox options. The merger consideration consisted of an aggregate of up to 12,325,000 shares of Mandalay common stock, which included the conversion of all shares of Twistbox capital stock and the reservation of 2,144,700 shares of Mandalay common stock required for assumption of the vested Twistbox options. Mandalay reserved an additional 318,772 shares of Mandalay common stock required for the assumption of the unvested Twistbox options. All warrants to purchase shares of Twistbox common stock outstanding at the time of the Merger were terminated on or before the effective time of the Merger.

24


 
Upon the completion of the Merger, all shares of the Twistbox capital stock were no longer outstanding and were automatically canceled and ceased to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares ceased to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable merger consideration. Additionally, each share of the Twistbox capital stock held by Twistbox or owned by Merger Sub, Mandalay or any subsidiary of Twistbox or Mandalay immediately prior to the Merger, was canceled and extinguished as of the completion of the Merger without any conversion or payment in respect thereof. Each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted upon completion of the Merger into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the surviving corporation.
 
As part of the Merger, Mandalay agreed to guarantee up to $8,250,000 of Twistbox’s outstanding debt to ValueAct SmallCap Master Fund L.P. (“ValueAct”), with certain amendments. On July 30, 2007, Twistbox had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among Twistbox, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined therein) and ValueAct,  pursuant to which ValueAct purchased a note in the amount of $16,500,000 (the “Note”) and a warrant which entitled ValueAct to purchase from Twistbox up to a total of 2,401,747 shares of Twistbox’s common stock (the “Warrant”).  In connection therewith, Twistbox and ValueAct had also entered into a Guarantee and Security Agreement by and among Twistbox, each of the subsidiaries of Twistbox, the Investors, as defined therein, and ValueAct, as collateral agent, pursuant to which the parties agreed that the Note would be secured by substantially all of the assets of Twistbox and its subsidiaries. In connection with the Merger, the Warrant was terminated and we issued two warrants in place thereof to ValueAct to purchase shares of our common stock. One of such warrants entitles ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,622 shares of  our common stock at an exercise price of $7.55 per share. The other warrant entitles ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,621 shares of  our common stock at an initial exercise price of $5.00 per share, which, if not exercised in full by February 12, 2009, will be permanently increased to an exercise price of $7.55 per share.  Both  warrants expire on July 30, 2011. We also entered into a Guaranty with ValueAct whereby Mandalay agreed to guarantee Twistbox’s payment to ValueAct of up to $8,250,000 of principal under the Note in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in the Note. The financial covenants of the Note were also amended,  pursuant to which Twistbox is required maintain a cash balance of not less than $2,500,000 at all times and Mandalay is required to maintain a cash balance of not less than $4,000,000 at all times. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -  Note 8.” Effective as of the closing of the Merger, Ian Aaron and Adi McAbian were appointed to our Board of Directors.

In connection with the Merger, on March 31, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31 in Board of Directors order to conform to the fiscal year end of Twistbox. On July 15, 2008, the Company filed its Transitional Report on Form 10-KT for the Transition Period ended March 31, 2008.

Prior to the Merger, Mandalay was a public shell company with no operations; and as a result the only activity in the three months ended June 30, 2007 represents expenses incurred in developing the Company. In both years, General and Administrative expenses consists primarily of consulting and professional fees, accounting and legal expenses and employee related expenses including stock based compensation. The increase in 2008 over 2007 is primarily the result of stock based compensation to directors, employing executive management for the company, a significant increase in legal and other professional fees, and the addition of Twistbox expenses. Product Development and Sales and Marketing Expenses represent the operating expenses of Twistbox. Amortization of intangibles represents amortization of the intangibles identified as part of the purchase price accounting and attributed to operating expenses.

Prior to the Merger, Mandalay was a public shell company with no operations. Twistbox has incurred losses and negative annual cash flows since inception. The primary sources of liquidity have historically been issuance of common and preferred stock, in the case of Twistbox, borrowings under credit facilities with aggregate proceeds of $16.5 million. In the future, we anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will be cash generated by our operating activities.

 Operating Activities

In the three months ended June 30, 2007 operating expense consisted solely of employee compensation and other general and administrative expenses. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, we used $2.1 million of net cash in operating expenses. This primarily related to the net loss of $3.4 million, an increase in a receivables of $0.3 million, partially offset by non cash stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization included in the net loss of $1.2million and $0.3 million respectively, and increases in accounts payable and other liabilities.
 
Investing Activities

In the three months ended June 30, 2008, $2.1 million was used in investing activities, related to the bridge loan provided to Green Screen Interactive Software Inc. as part of a potential acquisition. The acquisition did not proceed and the loan was fully repaid with interest on July 7, 2008.

On June 16, 2008, the Company granted certain directors options to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Options”), pursuant to the 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, in consideration for their services on the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the audit and compensation committees, when established. The Options have a ten-year term and are exercisable at a price of $2.75 per share. One-third of the Options were immediately exercisable upon grant, an additional one-third vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The Options were granted pursuant to the exemption from registration permitted Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $7.0 million of cash, and management believes it has sufficient cash to satisfy the Company’s monetary needs for the next twelve months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional debt securities or additional equity securities or to obtain a credit facility. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of increased indebtedness would result in additional debt service obligations and could result in additional operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company’s operating subsidiary, Twistbox, has sustained substantial operating losses since commencement of operations.  In addition, the Company has incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and the majority of the Company’s assets are intangible assets and goodwill.

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which is in turn dependent on the Company reaching a positive cash flow position or obtaining additional financing, while maintaining adequate liquidity.

Management believes that actions undertaken to achieve this position provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. These actions include continued increases in revenues by introducing new products and revenue streams, continued expansion into new territories, reviewing additional financing options, reducing operating costs and accretive acquisitions.

Debt obligations include interest payments on the loan from ValueAct described above. Operating lease obligations represent noncancelable operating leases for the Company’s office facilities in several locations, expiring in various years through 2010. Twistbox has entered into license agreements with various owners of brands and other intellectual property so that we could develop and publish branded products for mobile handsets. Pursuant to some of these agreements, we are required to pay minimum royalties over the term of the agreements regardless of actual sales. Capitalized leases and other obligations include payments to various distribution providers, technical providers and employees for agreements with initial terms greater than one year at June 30, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate and Credit Risk
 
Our current operations have exposure to interest rate risk that relates primarily to our investment portfolio. All of our current investments are classified as cash equivalents or short-term investments and carried at cost, which approximates market value. We do not currently use or plan to use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio, and we do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on our interest income, operating results or liquidity.
 
Currently, our cash and cash equivalents are maintained by financial institutions in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, Russia, Argentina and Colombia, and our current deposits are likely in excess of insured limits. We believe that the financial institutions that hold our investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments. Our accounts receivable primarily relate to revenues earned from domestic and international Mobile phone carriers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our carriers’ financial condition but generally require no collateral from them. At June 30, 2008, our largest customer represented 40% of our gross accounts receivable.

Foreign Currency Risk
 
The functional currencies of our United States and German operations are the United States Dollar, or USD, and the Euro, respectively. A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the USD or the Euro. Our revenues are usually denominated in the functional currency of the carrier. Operating expenses are usually in the local currency of the operating unit, which mitigates a portion of the exposure related to currency fluctuations. Intercompany transactions between our domestic and foreign operations are denominated in either the USD or the Euro. At month-end, foreign currency-denominated accounts receivable and intercompany balances are marked to market and unrealized gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net. Our foreign currency exchange gains and losses have been generated primarily from fluctuations in the Euro and pound sterling versus the USD and in the Euro versus the pound sterling. In the future, we may experience foreign currency exchange losses on our accounts receivable and intercompany receivables and payables. Foreign currency exchange losses could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Inflation
 
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we might not be able to offset these higher costs fully through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
