1.Organization

 

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Mandalay Digital”), formerly NeuMedia, Inc. (“NeuMedia”), formerly Mandalay Media, Inc. (“Mandalay Media”) and 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 until its merger with Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. on February 12, 2008.  On September 14, 2007, Mediavest was re-incorporated in the state of Delaware as Mandalay Media, Inc. On May 11, 2010 the Company merged with a wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, changing its name to NeuMedia, Inc. On February 6, 2012, the Company merged with a wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, changing its name to Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.

 

Twistbox is a global publisher and distributor of branded entertainment content and services primarily focused on enabling the development, distribution and billing of content across 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 film, television and lifestyle media companies. Twistbox has built a proprietary mobile publishing platform that includes: tools that automate device management for the distribution and billing of images and video; a mobile games development and distribution platform 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 and service agreements with many of the largest mobile operators in the world.

 

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

 

On October 23, 2008 the Company completed an acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of AMV Holding Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company (“AMV”), and 80% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Fierce Media Ltd (“Fierce”).

 

AMV is a leading mobile media and marketing company delivering games and lifestyle content directly to consumers in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa and various other European countries. AMV markets its well established branded services through a unique Customer Relationship Management platform that drives revenue through mobile internet, print and TV advertising. AMV is headquartered in Marlow, outside of London in the United Kingdom.

 

On May 10, 2010, an administrator was appointed over AMV Holding Limited in the UK, at the request of the Company’s senior debt holder. As from that date, AMV and its subsidiaries are considered to be a discontinued operation. AMV and its subsidiaries were subsequently disposed.

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

On May 11, 2010, Mandalay Media merged into its wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, NeuMedia Inc. (“NeuMedia”), with NeuMedia as the surviving corporation. NeuMedia issued: (1) one new share of common stock in exchange for each share of Mandalay Media’s outstanding common stock and (2) one new share of preferred stock in exchange for each share of Mandalay Media’s outstanding preferred stock as of May 11, 2010. NeuMedia’s preferred and common stock had the same status and par value as the respective stock of Mandalay Media and NeuMedia acceded to all the rights, acquired all the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Mandalay Media.

 

On June 21, 2010, the Company signed and closed an agreement whereby ValueAct and the AMV Founders, acting through a newly formed company, acquired the operating subsidiaries of AMV (the “Assets”) in exchange for the release of $23,231 of secured indebtedness, comprising a release of all amounts due and payable under the AMV Note and all of the amounts due and payable under the ValueAct Note (as defined below) except for $3,500 in principal. The Company retained all assets and liabilities of Twistbox and the Company.

 

On December 28, 2011, the Company issued 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the consideration for in exchange for the assets of Digital Turbine Group, LLC, the developer of Digital Turbine (“DT”), a technology platform that allows media companies, mobile carriers, and their OEM handset partners to take advantage of multiple mobile operating systems across multiple networks, and offers solutions that allow them to maintain their own branding and personalized, one-to-one relationships with each end-user. DT’s cross-platform user interface and multimedia management system for carriers and OEMs can be integrated with different operating systems to provide a more organized and unified experience for end-users of mobile content across search, discovery, billing, and delivery. Other aspects of the platform, such as a smart content discovery toolbar, allows carriers and OEMs to control the data presented to their users while giving the end-user a more efficient way of finding and purchasing desired content.

 

2.Liquidity

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations.

 

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been issuance of common and preferred stock and borrowings under credit facilities. In fiscal year 2012, the Company raised $9.7 million through issuance of convertible debt and equity financings and through restructuring existing debt to convertible debt. Until we become cash flow positive, we anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will be cash generated by our operating activities, as well as further borrowings or further capital raises. Assuming there are no further changes in expected sales and expense trends subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company believes that its cash position will be sufficient to continue operations for the foreseeable next twelve months.

 

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for annual financial statements.  The financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each period presented.

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

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. Discontinued operations have been treated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Discontinued Operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing material and software in the form of products (Image Galleries, Wallpapers, video, WAP Site access, Mobile TV), developing and maintaining carrier platforms, mobile advertising, mobile billing 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.

 

The Company either markets and distributes its products directly to consumers, or distributes products through mobile telecommunications service providers (“carriers”), in which case the carrier markets the product, images or games to end users. License fees for perpetual and subscription licenses are usually billed upon download of the product, image or game by the end user. In the case of subscription licenses, many subscriber agreements provide for automatic renewal until the subscriber opts-out, while others provide opt-in renewal. In either case, subsequent billings for subscription licenses are generally billed monthly. The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, to all transactions.

 

Revenues are recognized from the Company’s 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 license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier or aggregator and a “clickwrap” agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an end user. For these licenses, the Company defines delivery as the download of the product, image or game by the end user.

 

The Company 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 the Company 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 the Company believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’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 newer and more advanced handsets, promotions during the period and economic trends. When the Company receives the final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Company records any differences between estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when the Company determines the actual amounts. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be reasonably estimated. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenues to be recognized in the current period, the Company recognizes revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when the Company’s portion of licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is probable. To monitor the reliability of the Company’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 the Company deems a carrier not to be creditworthy, the Company defers all revenues from the arrangement until the Company receives payment and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes as revenues the amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of the Company’s products, images or games. The Company 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 the Company a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed fee for each game;

 

·carriers generally must approve the price of the Company’s content in advance of their sale to subscribers, and the Company’s more significant carriers generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their subscribers;

 

·the Company has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit risk.

 

For direct to consumer business, revenue is earned by delivering a product or service directly to the end user of that product or service. In those cases, the Company 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. Substantially all of our discontinued operations represents direct to consumer business.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net 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 that were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, were as follows:

 

   3 Months Ended   3 Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2012   2011 
           
Potentially dilutive shares   27,862    16,739 

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income 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. The Company’s other comprehensive income currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments.

Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.

 

Content Provider Licenses

 

Content Provider License Fees

 

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 content acquisitions, paid in advance and capitalized on our balance sheet as prepaid license fees. 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 content acquired. Minimum guarantee 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.

 

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 content acquired.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company applies the principles of FASB ASC 985-20, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 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.

 

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 costs of advertising, including direct response advertising, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense was $0 and $4 in the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Restructuring

 

The Company accounts for costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activities in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, 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.

 

Presentation

 

In order to facilitate the comparison of financial information, certain amounts reported in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued license fees, accrued compensation, derivative liabilities and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company applies ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which provides a two-step model to determine whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74. Using the criteria in ASC 815, the Company determines which instruments or embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair values as a derivative liability. The changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “change in fair value of accrued derivative liabilities gain / (loss).”

 

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 gains of $31 and $106 in the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and has been reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. We have placed cash and cash equivalents with a single high credit-quality institution. 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, 2012, one major customer represented approximately 35% of our gross accounts receivable outstanding, and 39% of gross accounts receivable outstanding as of March 31, 2012. This customer accounted for 34% of our gross revenues in the period ended June 30, 2012; and 43% in the period ended June 30, 2011. Two other major customers accounted for 22% and 10%, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2012.

 

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 the lesser of 8 to 10 years or the term of the lease for leasehold improvements and 5 years for other assets.

 

Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with FASB ASC 350-20 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the value assigned to goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, including trademarks and tradenames, is not amortized to expense, but rather they are evaluated at least on an annual basis to determine if there are potential impairments. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill is less than the carrying value. If the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible (such as trademarks and trade names) is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, market multiples or appraised values, as appropriate. Discounted cash flow analysis requires assumptions about the timing and amount of future cash inflows and outflows, risk, the cost of capital, and terminal values. Each of these factors can significantly affect the value of the intangible asset. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management’s judgment. Any changes in key assumptions about the Company’s businesses and their prospects, or changes in market conditions, could result in an impairment charge. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the intangible asset valuation process include: the timing and amount of projected future cash flows; the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal or regulatory trends.

 

In the period ended June 30, 2012 the Company determined that there was no impairment of goodwill. In the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that there was an impairment of goodwill amounting to $2,969.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite Life Intangibles

 

Long-lived assets, including, intangible assets subject to amortization primarily consisting of customer lists, license agreements and software that have been acquired, are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful life ranging from five to eight years and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, 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.

 

In the period ended June 30, 2012, the Company determined that there was no impairment of intangible assets. In the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that there was an impairment of intangible assets amounting to $2,319.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”), 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 ASC 740-10, 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.

 

ASC 740-10 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.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We have applied FASB ASC 718 Share-Based Payment (“ASC 718”) and accordingly, we record stock-based compensation expense for all of our stock-based awards.

 

Under ASC 718, 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, interest rates, dividend rates 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.

 

The Company grants restricted stock subject to market or performance conditions that vest based on the satisfaction of the conditions of the award. Unvested restricted stock entitles the grantees to dividends, if any, with voting rights determined in each agreement. The fair market values of market condition-based awards are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The Monte Carlo simulation method is subject to variability as several factors utilized must be estimated, including the derived service period, which is estimated based on the Company’s judgment of likely future performance and the Company’s stock price volatility. The fair value of performance-based awards is determined using the market closing price on the grant date. Derived service periods and the periods charged with compensation expense for performance-based awards are estimated based on the Company’s judgment of likely future performance and may be adjusted in future periods depending on actual performance.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company applies the guidance enumerated in FASB ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480-10”) 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 ASC 480-10. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the classification and measurement principles of ASC 480-10. 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.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will require a company to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012. The Company expects this guidance to have an impact on the disclosures related to comprehensive income.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amendments to the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment guidance which provides an option for companies to not calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 (early adoption is permitted). The implementation of this amended accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

  4. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

-Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
-Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
-Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

 

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivatives as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

 

In May 2012, the derivative warrant liability was exercised. Prior to the exercise, the fair value of the derivative warrant liability was determined to be $473 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: 1) expected life 5 years, 2) a risk free interest rate of ..40%, 3) a dividend yield of 0% and 4) a volatility of 170%. 

 

The Company identified the following liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value:

  7. Description of Stock Plans

 

On May 26, 2011, our board of directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of NeuMedia, Inc. and on April 27, 2012, our board of directors amended and restated the plan and the related plan documents to change references to the name of our company from “NeuMedia, Inc.” to “Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.” and further directed that they be submitted to stockholders for their consideration and approval. On May 23, 2012, our stockholders approved and adopted by written consent the Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. (the “Plan”) and the Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan Notice of Grant and Restricted Stock Agreement and the Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan Notice of Grant and Stock Option Agreement (collectively, the “Related Documents”).

 

The Plan contains a number of provisions that the board believes are consistent with the interests of stockholders and sound corporate governance practices. These include:

 

Individual Grant Limits. No participant may be granted in aggregate, in any calendar year, Awards covering more than 500,000 shares.

 

No annual “Evergreen” Provision. The Plan provides for a fixed allocation of shares, thereby requiring stockholder approval of any additional allocation of shares.

 

No Discount Stock Options. The Plan prohibits the grant of a stock option with an exercise price of less than the fair market value of the closing price of our common stock on the date the stock option is granted.

 

Summary Description of the Plan 

The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and restricted stock units (sometimes referred to individually or collectively as “Awards”) to our and our subsidiaries’ officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

 Stock options may be either “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”), as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”). The Plan reserves 4,000,000 shares for issuance, of which 41,667 remain available for issuance as of June 30, 2012. The 4,000,000 shares reserved for issuance will serve as the underlying value for all equity awards under the Plan.

ValueAct Note

 

In connection with the disposal of AMV on June 21, 2010, all amounts due and payable under the AMV Note were released, and the ValueAct Note was amended and restated in its entirety and reduced to $3,500 of principal (the “Amended ValueAct Note”).

 

On December 16, 2011, the ValueAct Note was purchased in its entirety by Taja LLC (“Taja”) and was amended to remove certain negative covenants from the Note (the “Amended Taja Note”). The Purchase of the ValueAct Note was independent of the Company, and the Company did not receive or pay out any cash related to this transaction.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company and Taja entered into a binding term sheet for convertible note financing (“Taja Convertible Note”) and effectively a third amendment to the Second Amended Note (“Third Amended Note”). The Taja Convertible Note became effective on February 27, 2012. The Third Amended Note (1) changed the maturity date of the note from June 21, 2013 to June 21, 2015, (2) extended the payment in kind (“PIK”) election to the note through the revised term, and (3) stripped out $3,000 of principal to create the Taja Convertible Note, leaving a principal balance of $500 plus accrued interest of $562 for a total of $1,062. As consideration for amending the note, Taja also received a warrant (“Incentive Warrant”) to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment. Taja also received 25% warrant coverage (“Coverage Warrant”) determined by dividing the principal amount of the Taja Convertible Note by the conversion price multiplied by 25%. The Incentive Warrant and the Coverage Warrant each have a five year term and vest one year from issue date. The Coverage Warrant was initially recorded as a derivative liability upon issuance. As discussed in Note 12, the Company received a waiver from the Senior Secured Convertible note holders on March 26, 2012 which allowed the Company to reclassify the Convertible Note Warrant from a derivative liability to additional paid-in capital. The Company assessed the debt modification for the Third Amended Note and determined that it met the requirements for extinguishment accounting per FASB ASC 470 and accordingly, recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,459 for the year ended March 31, 2012.

On March 1, 2012, the Company and Taja entered into a second binding term sheet (“Amended Taja Convertible Note”) to amend certain provisions of the December 29, 2011 binding term sheet, (1) the maturity date was revised to March 1, 2014, (2) the conversion price was amended to $0.70 share, (3) conversion of the note must not cause the holder to exceed 4.9% ownership, except that on the maturity date the entire remaining amount of principle and interest shall automatically convert into shares of common stock of the Company, (4) the Amended Taja Convertible Note becomes accelerated and immediately due and payable upon the consummation by the Company of one or more equity sales from and after March 1, 2012 resulting in aggregate net proceeds of at least $10,000, (5) the conversion date was to occur the earlier of (x) the date that the long-form documents are executed and delivered to all parties, and (y) March 19, 2012, (6) the 2,000 Incentive Warrants issued as consideration for the Third Amended Note were amended to vest and be exercisable one year from March 1, 2012, (7) the exercise date of the Coverage Warrants was amended to one year following the conversion date, and (8) the term sheet was binding on the parties and their respective successors and assigns regardless of whether the parties execute long form agreements, as opposed to the previous term sheet that contemplated going to long form agreements.

 

The Company determined that the Amended Taja Convertible Note has an embedded conversion feature that is required to be bifurcated and measured at fair value at each reporting. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was $2,250 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

  Expected life of 1 years
  Risk free interest rate of .17%
  Dividend yield of 0%
  Volatility of 175%.

 

The Company determined the fair value of the Coverage Warrant and the Incentive Warrant to be $750 and $1,459, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

  Expected life of 5 years
  Risk free interest rate of .84%
  Dividend yield of 0%
  Volatility of 175%.

 

The combined total discount pertaining to the conversion factor of the Taja Convertible Note and the Coverage Warrant was originally limited to the face value of the Taja Convertible Note of $3,000 and is being amortized over the term, with the $837 fair value of the embedded conversion feature that exceeded the face value being charged to operations as interest expense during the year ended March 31, 2012.

 

On March 19, 2012, the Company issued 2,600 shares of its common stock to Taja for the conversion of $1,820 of the Amended Taja Convertible Note. The Company expensed to interest expense the debt discount on a pro rata basis of the amount converted to the original debt amount to reflect the conversion of the $1,820. Through the period ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded interest expense of $146 related to the amortization of the debt discount. The remaining discount of $980 will be amortized over the period ending March 1, 2014. The Company assessed the conversion of $1,820 and determined that it met the requirements for extinguishment accounting per FASB ASC 470 and accordingly, recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,346 for the year ended March 31, 2012.

 

As of June 30, 2012, outstanding principal balance of $1,180 of the Amended Taja Convertible Note is convertible into approximately 1,686,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.70. At June 30, 2012, the if-converted value exceeds the principal by approximately $84.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes

 

On June 21, 2010, for purposes of capitalizing the Company, the Company sold and issued $2,500 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes due June 21, 2013 (the “New Senior Secured Notes”) to certain of the Company’s significant stockholders.  The New Senior Secured Notes have a three year term and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable in arrears semi-annually. The entire principal balance is due in one lump sum payment on June 21, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured Notes, the Company may, at its option, in lieu of making any cash payment of interest, elect that the amount of any interest due and payable on any interest payment date on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured Notes be added to the principal due under the New Senior Secured Notes. The accrued and unpaid principal and interest due on the New Senior Secured Notes are convertible at any time at the election of the holder into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of that certain Guarantee and Security Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2010, among Twistbox, the Company, each of the subsidiaries thereof party thereto, the investors party thereto and Trinad Management. The Amended ValueAct Note is subordinated to the New Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the terms of that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2010, by and between Trinad Capital Master Fund, and ValueAct, and each of the Company and Twistbox.

 

Each purchaser of a New Senior Secured Note also received a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment.  For each $1 of New Senior Secured Notes purchased, the purchaser received a Warrant to purchase 3.33 shares of common stock of the Company.  Each Warrant has a five year term.

 

The Warrants granted to the New Senior Secured Note holders on June 21, 2010 and conversion feature in the New Senior Secured Notes are not considered derivative instruments since the Warrants and the New Senior Secured Notes have a set conversion price and all of the requirements for equity classification were met. The Company determined the fair value of the detachable warrants issued in connection with the New Senior Secured Notes to be $1,678, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:  expected life of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 2.05%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 54.62%. In addition, the Company determined the value of the beneficial conversion feature to be $5,833. The combined total discount for the New Senior Secured Notes is limited to the face value of the New Senior Secured Notes of $2,500 and is being amortized over the term of the New Senior Secured Notes. For the period ended June 30, 2012, the Company amortized $207 of the aforesaid discounts as interest and financing costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The remaining discount of $813 will be amortized over the period ending June 21, 2013.

 

As per the Senior Secured Convertible Note, interest accrued through and including December 31, 2011 may be added to the principal.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of $2,902 is convertible into approximately 19,344,792 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.15. At June 30, 2012, the if-converted value exceeds the principal and accrued interest by approximately $11,607. Interest accrued through June 30,2012 that is not convertible, and may not be added to the principal is $145.

These shares may not be transferred for a period of one year from the vesting date.

 

  The second grant of 3,600,000 shares was granted on December 28, 2011 and vested fully on the date of the grant. These shares may not be transferred for a period of two years from the date of grant.

Performance and Market Condition RSAs

 

On December 28, 2011, the Company issued 15,850 restricted shares with vesting criteria based on both performance and market conditions. The vesting is as follows: (i) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately upon the completion of one or more debt or equity financings during the period ending two (2) years from the date hereof (the “Measurement Period”) in favor of the Company of gross proceeds of at least $5 million; (ii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Company’s total enterprise value (computed by multiplying the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted (taking into account only those stock options that are in-the-money on such date), as-converted basis by the average daily trading price for Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading day period immediately preceding the date of determination) equals or exceeds $100 million; and (iii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Company’s total enterprise value (calculated as set forth in clause (ii) above) equals or exceeds $200 million; provided, however, that all unvested shares of restricted common stock shall vest immediately upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, upon the merger or reorganization of the Company following which the equity holders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or reorganization collectively own less than 50% of the voting power of the resulting entity, or upon the sale of equity securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the voting power of the Company or 50% or more of the economic interest in the Company in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions.

 

Each share is restricted from the individual selling the stock for a period of one year from the date of vesting.

 

On December 28, 2011, one third of the restricted shares vested due to the $7,000 financing agreement entered into by the Company. The Company valued the 5,283 vested RSAs at $3,223 using the Company’s ending share price at December 28, 2011 of $0.61.

 

For accounting purposes, the one third unvested shares related to the $100,000 enterprise value and the one third unvested shares related to the $200,000 enterprise value are considered to have a market condition. The effect of the market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award and, thus compensation expense is recognized on this type of award provided that the requisite service is rendered (regardless of whether the market condition is achieved). The Company estimated the grant date fair value to be $0.279 per share and $0.206 per share for the $100,000 enterprise value and $200,000 enterprise value, respectively, using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses the following assumptions:

 

  Volatility – 100%
  Restricted stock discount – 36.1%
  Risk free interest rate of 0.1%
  Dividend yield of 0%

 

The Company has expensed $3,871 through the period ended June 30, 2012 related to the 15,850 RSAs issued on December 28, 2011 and will expense the remaining $1,914 over the periods ended December 28, 2013.

 

Time and Performance Condition RSAs

 

On January 3, 2012, the Company issued 2,375 restricted shares with vesting criteria based on both time and performance conditions. At January 3, 2012, 1,025 restricted shares vested immediately and the remaining 1,375 unvested shares must meet certain performance criteria which has either not been defined by the Board of Directors or the Company has determined that the probability of meeting the performance criteria is 0%.

Each share is restricted from the individual selling the stock for a period from one year up to two years from the date of vesting.

 

All restricted shares, vested and unvested, have been included in the outstanding shares as of June 30, 2012.

 

For accounting purposes, the Company determined the grant date fair value to be $0.65 per share which is the closing price of the Company’s stock price on January 3, 2012. The Company expensed $662, related to the 2,375 RSAs issued on January 3, 2012. No further expense will be taken until the Board of Directors details the performance criteria, or already defined performance criteria has been met.

On various dates during the periods ended June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company issued 733 and 7,100 restricted shares with vesting criteria based on time conditions. As of June 30, 2012, 3,650 restricted shares were vested with each share being restricted from the individual selling the stock for a period from three months up to two years from the date of vesting.

 

For accounting purposes, the Company determined the weighted average grant date fair value to be $.476 per share based on the closing price of the Company’s stock price on the various issue dates. The Company expensed $609 in the period ended June 30, 2012 and $2,957 in the year ended March 31, 2012 related to the 16,150 RSAs and will expense the remaining $1,946 grant date fair value over the year ended March 31, 2013.

Historical Operations of Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.

 

Mandalay Digital was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 6, 1998 under the name eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 27, 2000, the company merged into DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc., a New Jersey corporation. DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc was the resulting entity, but it changed its name to eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 13, 2005, the Company 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 May 12, 2010, the Company changed its name to NeuMedia, Inc.

 

On February 6, 2012, the Company merged with a wholly-owned, newly-formed subsidiary, changing its name to Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.

 

On October 27, 2004, and as amended on December 17, 2004, the Company 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) the Company’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 was transferred to a liquidation trust and used to pay administrative costs and certain preferred creditors; (3) $100,000 was retained by the Company to fund the expenses of remaining public; (4) 3.5% of the new common stock of the Company (140,000 shares) was issued to the holders of record of Mandalay Digital’s preferred stock in settlement of their liquidation preferences; (5) 3.5% of the new common stock of the Company (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 the Company (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, the Company 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, the Company was a public shell company with no operations, and controlled by its significant stockholder, Trinad Capital Master Fund, L.P.

 

SUMMARY OF THE TWISTBOX MERGER

 

The Company 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 the Company (“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, $0.01 par value per share (the “Twistbox Preferred Stock”), converted automatically into and became exchangeable for Company 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 (the “Plan”) was assumed by the Company, 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 Company 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 Digital 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, the Company also assumed all unvested Twistbox options. The Merger consideration consisted of an aggregate of up to 12,325,000 shares of Company common stock, which included the conversion of all shares of Twistbox capital stock and the reservation of 2,144,700 shares of Company common stock required for assumption of the vested Twistbox options. The Company reserved an additional 318,772 shares of Company 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.

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, the Company or any subsidiary of Twistbox or the Company 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, the Company agreed to guarantee up to $8,250,000 of Twistbox’s outstanding debt to ValueAct SmallCap Master Fund L.P. (“ValueAct” or “VAC”), 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 “ValueAct Note” or the “VAC 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”). Twistbox and ValueAct 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 ValueAct Note would be secured by substantially all of the assets of Twistbox and its subsidiaries (the “VAC Note Security Agreement”). 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 entitled 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 entitled 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, would have been permanently increased to an exercise price of $7.55 per share. Both warrants were scheduled to expire on July 30, 2011. The warrants were subsequently modified on October 23, 2008 and cancelled on June 21, 2010, as set forth below. We also entered into a Guaranty (the “ValueAct Note Guaranty”) with ValueAct whereby the Company agreed to guarantee Twistbox’s payment to ValueAct of up to $8,250,000 of principal under the ValueAct Note in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in the ValueAct Note, which was subsequently amended as set forth below. The financial covenants of the ValueAct Note were also amended, pursuant to which Twistbox was required to maintain a cash balance of not less than $2,500,000 at all times and the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of not less than $4,000,000 at all times. The ValueAct Note was subsequently amended and restated as set forth below.

 

SUMMARY OF THE AMV ACQUISITION

 

On October 23, 2008, the Company consummated the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of AMV Holding Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company (“AMV”) and 80% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Fierce Media Limited, United Kingdom private limited company (collectively the “Shares”). The acquisition of AMV is referred to herein as the “AMV Acquisition”. The aggregate purchase price (subject to adjustments as provided in the stock purchase agreement) for the Shares consisted of (i) $5,375,000 in cash; (ii) 4,500,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share; (iii) a secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,375,000 (the “AMV Note”); and (iv) additional earn-out amounts, if any, based on certain targeted earnings as set forth in the stock purchase agreement. The AMV Note was scheduled to mature on July 31, 2010, and bore interest at an initial rate of 5% per annum, subject to adjustment as provided therein.

 

In addition, also on October 23, 2008, in connection with the AMV Acquisition, the Company, Twistbox and ValueAct entered into a Second Amendment to the ValueAct Note, which among other things, provided for a payment-in-kind election at the option of Twistbox, modified the financial covenants set forth in the ValueAct Note to require that the Company and Twistbox maintain certain minimum combined cash balances and provided for certain covenants with respect to the indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries. Also on October 23, 2008, AMV granted to ValueAct a security interest in its assets to secure the obligations under the ValueAct Note. In addition, the Company and ValueAct entered into an allonge to each of those certain warrants issued to ValueAct in connection with the Merger, which, among other things, amended the exercise price of each of the warrants to $4.00 per share.

 

In addition, also on October 23, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors identified therein (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors in a private offering an aggregate of 1,685,394 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 842,697 shares of common stock for gross proceeds to the Company of $4,500,000. The warrants have a five year term and an exercise price of $2.67 per share. The funds were held in an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, dated October 23, 2008 and were released to the Company on or about November 8, 2008.

 

On August 14, 2009, the Company and ValueAct entered into a Second Allonge to Warrant to Purchase 1,092,621 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Second Allonge”), which amended that certain warrant to purchase 1,092,621 shares of the Company’s common stock, issued to ValueAct on February 12, 2008, as amended (the “ValueAct Warrant”). Pursuant to the Second Allonge, the exercise price of the ValueAct Warrant decreased from $4.00 per share to the lesser of $1.25 per share, or the exercise price per share for any warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued by the Company to certain other parties. In addition, also on August 14, 2009, the Company, Twistbox and ValueAct entered into a Third Amendment to the ValueAct Note. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the maturity date was changed to July 31, 2010 and the interest rate of the ValueAct Note increased from 10% to 12.5%.

On January 25, 2010, Mandalay Digital, Twistbox and ValueAct entered into a Waiver to Senior Secured Note (the “Waiver”), pursuant to which ValueAct agreed to waive certain provisions of the ValueAct Note. Pursuant to the Waiver, subject to Twistbox’s compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Waiver, certain rights to prepay the ValueAct Note were extended from January 31, 2010 to March 1, 2010. In addition, subject to Twistbox’s compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Waiver, the timing obligation of the Company and Twistbox to comply with the cash covenant set forth in the ValueAct Note was extended to March 1, 2010 and the minimum cash balance by which Twistbox and Mandalay Digital must maintain was increased to $1,600,000.

 

On February 25, 2010, Twistbox received a letter (the “Letter”) from ValueAct alleging certain events of default with respect to the ValueAct Note. The Letter claimed that an event of default had occurred and was continuing under the ValueAct Note as result of certain alleged defaults, including the failure to provide weekly evidence of compliance with certain of Twistbox’s and the Company’s covenants under the ValueAct Note, the failure to comply with limitations on certain payments by the Company and each of its subsidiaries, and the failure of Twistbox and the Company to maintain minimum cash balances in deposit accounts of each of Twistbox and the Company. The Letter also claimed that the Waiver had ceased to be effective as a result of the alleged failure of Mandalay Digital to comply with the conditions set forth in the Waiver. On May 10, 2010, Twistbox received from ValueAct a Notice of Event of Default and Acceleration (“Notice”) in which ValueAct stated that an event of default had occurred under the ValueAct Note as a result of Twistbox’s and Mandalay Digital’s failure to comply with the cash balance covenant under the ValueAct Note and, therefore, ValueAct accelerated all outstanding amounts payable by Twistbox under the ValueAct Note. In connection with the Notice, ValueAct instituted an administration proceeding in the United Kingdom against AMV.

 

On June 21, 2010, the Company sold all of the operating subsidiaries of AMV to an entity controlled by ValueAct and certain of AMV’s founders in exchange for the release of $23,231,000 of secured indebtedness, comprising of a release of all amounts due and payable under the AMV Note and all amounts due and payable under the VAC Note except for $3,500,000 in principal (the “Restructure”). In connection with the Restructure, the ValueAct Note (as amended and restated, the “Amended ValueAct Note”), the Value Act Security Agreement and the Value Act Guaranty were amended and restated in their entirety. In addition, all warrants and common stock of the Company held by ValueAct were cancelled and all warrants and common stock of the Company held by AMV founders Nate MacLeitch and Jonathan Cresswell were repurchased by the Company for a price of $0.02 per share.

 

The Amended ValueAct Note matures on June 21, 2013 and bears interest at 10% payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each January 1 and July 1 that the Amended ValueAct Note is outstanding. Twistbox may prepay the Amended ValueAct Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to January 1, 2012, Twistbox may, at its option, in lieu of making any cash payment of interest, elect that the amount of any interest due and payable on any interest payment date on or prior to January 1, 2012 be added to the principal due under the Amended ValueAct Note. In the event of a Fundamental Change (as defined therein) of Twistbox, the holder of the Amended ValueAct Note will have the right for a period of thirty days to require Twistbox to repurchase the Amended ValueAct Note at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Also on June 21, 2010, for purposes of capitalizing the Company, the Company sold and issued $2,500,000 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes due June 21, 2013 (the “New Senior Secured Notes” or the “Senior Debt”) to certain significant stockholders. The New Senior Secured Notes have a three year term and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable in arrears semi-annually. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured Notes, the Company may, at its option, in lieu of making any cash payment of interest, elect that the amount of any interest due and payable on any interest payment date on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured Notes be added to the principal due under the New Senior Secured Notes. The accrued and unpaid principal and interest due on the New Senior Secured Notes are convertible at any time at the election of the holder into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of US $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Amended ValueAct Note is subordinated to the New Senior Secured Notes.

 

Each purchaser of a New Senior Secured Note also received a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment. For each $1.00 of New Senior Secured Notes purchased, the purchaser received a Warrant to purchase 3.33 shares of common stock of the Company. Each Warrant has a five year term.

 

The Merger and the AMV Acquisition both included the issuance of common stock as all or part of the consideration. Based on the trading price of the common stock as of the acquisition dates, the total consideration was approximately $67.5 million for the Merger and approximately $22.2 million for the AMV Acquisition.

 

On December 16, 2011 the Amended ValueAct Note was purchased by Taja, LLC (“Taja”) and immediately amended to remove certain negative covenants (as amended, the “Taja Note”).

Advertising   541    294    84%
                
Total  $1,290   $1,893    -32%

 

Games revenue – the decline in revenue largely reflects a strategic decision to curtail investment in development of new games for carrier sales, along with the loss of on-deck placement with US carriers. In addition, we have wound down our development work on behalf of third parties. This was partly offset by higher platform and services fees, particularly in Germany.   Games revenue includes both licensed and internally developed games for use on mobile phones.

 

The revenue decline for Other Content is the result of multiple factors. Revenues were impacted by a very challenging European sales environment for our carrier partners and consequently for us. This resulted in lower sales in major territories. Revenues were also affected by the increase in the use of smart phones over feature phones, which hinder the carriers’ ability to monetize content revenues effectively. Other content includes a broad range of licensed and internally developed products delivered in the form of WAP, Video, Wallpaper and Mobile.

 

Cost of Revenues

Gross margin   48.0%   70.9%     

 

License fees represent costs payable to content providers for use of their intellectual property in products sold. Our licensing agreements are predominantly on a revenue-share basis, and have therefore decreased relative to the decrease in revenue. We experienced slight decrease in the area of traffic and advertising costs that affected our sales mix, as well as our gross margin.

Operating Expenses

   2012   2011   Change

Product development expenses  $366   $664    -45%
                
Sales and marketing expenses   103    235    -56%
                
General and administrative expenses   2,401    915    162%

 

Product development expenses include the costs to build, edit and optimize content formats for consumption on a mobile phone. Expenses in this area are primarily driven by personnel costs. Due to strategic changes in the focus of the development business as well as the consolidation of the device operating systems within the marketplace, our headcount has been reduced over prior periods.

 

Sales and marketing expenses represent the costs of sales and marketing personnel, and advertising and marketing campaigns. Selling costs, including our headcount have been reduced in recent periods in an effort to streamline the business. The decrease year-over-year is the result of cost savings made by headcount reductions, as well as reduced travel and entertainment expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses represent management and support personnel costs in both the parent and subsidiary companies which include professional and consulting costs, and other costs such as stock based compensation, rent, depreciation and bad debt expenses. The increase period to period is mostly due to an increase in stock compensation to management, as well as additional management and consulting personnel.

Interest and other income/(expense) includes interest income on invested funds, interest expense related to the Senior Secured Note and the Taja Note, changes in the fair market value of derivatives, and foreign exchange transaction gains.

 

Financial Condition

 

Assets

 

Our current assets totaled $9.4 million and $10.1 million at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Total assets were $14.0 million and $14.8 million at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The decrease in current and total assets is primarily due to a decrease cash due to payment of current expenses, as well as lower accounts receivable balances due to a decrease in revenues.

 

Liabilities and Working Capital

 

At June 30, 2012, our current and total liabilities were $8.6 million, compared to $9.1 million at March 31, 2012. The change in liabilities was mainly due to the amortization of debt discount and the exercise of warrants that were derivative liabilities. The Company had positive working capital of $2.2 million at June 30, 2012, less than the positive working capital of $4.1 million at March 31, 2012. This was mainly due to the movement of the Senior Secured Notes from long term debt to short term debt.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Data:

Issuance of shares for cash   1,000    -    0%
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents   31   106   -71%

 

The Company has incurred losses and negative annual cash flows since inception, and although the operating loss increased from $.5 million in the period ending June 30, 2011 to $2.3 million for the period ending June 30, 2012, a significant portion of the loss is represented by non-cash charges to stock compensation.

 

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Form 10-Q include the accounts of the Company. The primary sources of liquidity have historically been issuance of common and preferred stock and borrowings under credit facilities. In fiscal year 2012, the Company raised $9.7 million through issuance of convertible debt and equity financings and through restructuring existing debt to convertible debt. Subsequently, the Company raised an additional $1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Until we become cash flow positive, we anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will be our existing cash balances together with cash generated by our operating activities, cash on hand, as well as further borrowings or further capital raises. Assuming there are no further changes in expected sales and expense trends subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company believes that its cash position will be sufficient to continue operations for the next twelve months.

 

Operating Activities

 

In the period ended June 30, 2012, we used $1.6 million of net cash. Net cash used represents a decrease in accounts payable and accrued compensation of $0.2 million, decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expense of $0.2 million, as well as decreases in accrued license fees and other liabilities of $0.24 million. These changes flow from the loss for the period, but exclude depreciation and amortization of $0.1 million, as well as interest and debt discount costs of $0.5 million, and $0.9 million for stock issued for services. In the period ended June 30, 2011, we used $0.2 million of net cash, including an decrease in accounts payable and accrued compensation of $0.5 million, flowing from the loss, offset by non-cash stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization that total $0.4 million.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $8.2 million of cash.

 

The Company’s cash requirements in the future will be dependent on actions taken to improve cash flow, including operational restructuring. We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If cash resources 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 debt or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

 Debt obligations include interest payments under the Senior Debt facility, and under the Amended Taja Note. Under the Senior Debt facility, the Company may elect to add interest to the principal, until 18 months following June 21, 2010, with the full amount of the principle and interest payable June 21, 2013. Under the Amended Taja Note the Company may elect to add interest to the principal. The full amount is payable two years from March 1, 2012, if it has not already been converted into shares of common stock of the Company. The Company’s operating lease obligations include non-cancelable operating leases for the Company’s office facilities in several locations, expiring at various dates through 2013.

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 believe, therefore, that we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Revenues

 

The discussion herein regarding our future operations pertain to the results and operations of Twistbox. Assets from the Digital Turbine acquisition have yet to generate revenues due to the development cycle of the Digital Turbine products. The Company expects to begin earning revenue from the Digital Turbine assets by the end of fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. Twistbox has historically generated and expects to continue to generate the vast majority of its revenues from mobile phone carriers that market, distribute and/or bill for its content. These carriers generally charge a one-time purchase fee or a monthly subscription fee on their subscribers’ phone bills when the subscribers download Twistbox’s content to their mobile phones. The carriers perform the billing and collection functions and generally remit to Twistbox a contractual percentage of their collected fee for each transaction. Twistbox recognizes as revenues the percentage of the fees due to it from the carrier. End users may also initiate the purchase of Twistbox’s content through other delivery mechanisms, with carriers or third parties being responsible for billing, collecting and remitting to Twistbox a portion of their fees. To date, Twistbox’s international revenues have been much more significant than its domestic revenues.

 

We believe that the improving quality and greater availability of smartphones is in turn encouraging consumer awareness and demand for high quality content on their mobile devices. At the same time, carriers and branded content owners are focusing on a small group of enablers that have the ability to provide high-quality mobile content services consistently and cost-effectively with the ability to enable mobile billing across a wide variety of handsets and countries. Additionally, publishers and content owners are seeking enablers that have the ability to distribute content globally through relationships with most or all of the major carriers. We believe Twistbox has created the requisite development, distribution and billing technology and has achieved the scale to operate at a level that provides it with competitive advantages. We also believe that leveraging existing carrier and publisher relationships will allow us to grow our revenues without corresponding percentage growth in our infrastructure and operating costs. Our revenue growth rate will depend significantly on continued growth in the mobile content market, our ability to leverage our distribution and content relationships, the entry of Digital Turbine into the market, as well as our ability to continue to expand billing for content in new regional markets. Our ability to attain profitability will be affected by the extent to which we must incur additional expenses to expand our sales, marketing, development, and general and administrative capabilities to grow our business. The largest component of our expenses is personnel costs. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits and incentive compensation, including bonuses and stock-based compensation, for our employees. Our operating expenses should continue to grow in absolute dollars, assuming our revenues continue to grow. As a percentage of revenues, we expect these expenses to decrease.

Because many new mobile handset models are released in the fourth calendar quarter to coincide with the holiday shopping season, and because many end users download our content soon after they purchase new handsets, we may experience seasonal sales increases based on this key holiday selling period. However, due to the time between handset purchases and content purchases, much of this holiday impact may occur in the March quarter end. For a variety of reasons, we may experience seasonal sales decreases during the summer, particularly in Europe, which is predominantly reflected in our second fiscal quarter. In addition to these possible seasonal patterns, our revenues may be impacted by declines in users visiting carrier portals, new or changed carrier deals, and by changes in the manner that our major carrier partners marketing our content on their deck. Initial spikes in revenues as a result of successful launches or campaigns may create further aberrations in our revenue patterns.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Twistbox’s cost of revenues historically, and our cost of revenues going forward, consists primarily of royalties that we pay to content owners from which we license brands and other intellectual property. In addition, certain other direct costs such as platform and third party delivery charges are included in cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues also includes noncash expenses—amortization of certain acquired intangible assets, and any impairment of guarantees. We generally do not pay advance royalties to licensors. Where we acquire rights in perpetuity or for a specific time period without revenue share or additional fees, we record the payments made to content owners as prepaid royalties on our balance sheet when payment is made to the licensor. We recognize royalties in cost of revenues based upon the revenues derived from the relevant product sold multiplied by the applicable royalty rate. If applicable, we will record an impairment of prepaid royalties or accrue for future guaranteed royalties that are in excess of anticipated recoupment. At each balance sheet date, we perform a detailed review of prepaid royalties and guarantees that considers multiple factors, including forecasted demand, anticipated share for specific content providers, development and launch plans, and current and anticipated sales levels. We expense the costs for development of our content prior to technological feasibility as we incur them throughout the development process, and we include these costs in product development expenses.

 

Gross Margin

 

Our gross margin going forward will be determined principally by the mix of content that we deliver, and the costs of distribution. Our games based on licensed intellectual property require us to pay royalties to the licensor and the royalty rates in our licenses vary significantly. Our own in-house developed games, which are based on our own intellectual property, require no royalty payments to licensors. For late night business, branded content requires royalty payment to the licensors, generally on a revenue share basis, while for acquired content we amortize the cost against revenues, and this will generally result in a lower cost associated with it. There are multiple internal and external factors that affect the mix of revenues between games and late night content, and among licensed, developed and acquired content within those categories, including the overall number of licensed games and developed games available for sale during a particular period, the extent of our and our carriers’ marketing efforts for each type of content, and the deck placement of content on our carriers’ mobile handsets. We believe the success of any individual game during a particular period is affected by the recognizability of the title, its quality, its marketing and media exposure, its overall acceptance by end users and the availability of competitive games. For other content, we believe that success is driven by the carrier’s deck placement, the rating of the content, by quality and by brand recognition. If our product mix shifts more to licensed games or content with higher royalty rates, our gross margin would decline. For other content, as we increase scale, we believe that we will have the opportunity to move the mix towards higher margin acquired product. Our gross margin is also affected by direct costs such as platform and 3 rd party delivery charges, and by periodic charges for impairment of intangible assets and of prepaid royalties and guarantees. These charges can cause gross margin variations, particularly from quarter to quarter.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses going forward will primarily include product development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our product development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for employees working on creating, developing, editing, programming, porting, quality assurance, carrier certification and deployment of our content, on technologies related to interoperating with our various mobile phone carriers and on our internal platforms, payments to third parties for developing our content, and allocated facilities costs. We devote substantial resources to the development, supporting technologies, porting and quality assurance of our content. For acquired content, typically we will receive content from our licensors which must be edited for use on mobile phones, combined with other appropriate content, and packaged for end-users. The process is made more complex by the need to deliver content on multiple carriers’ platforms and across a large number of different handsets.

 

Sales and Marketing.   Sales and marketing expenses, historically, and our sales and marketing expenses going forward, will consist primarily of salaries, benefits and incentive compensation for sales, business development, project management and marketing personnel, expenses for advertising, trade shows, public relations and other promotional and marketing activities, expenses for general business development activities, travel and entertainment expenses and allocated facilities costs. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute terms with the growth of our business and as we further promote our content and expand our business.

  

General and Administrative.   Our general and administrative expenses, historically, and going forward, will consist primarily of salaries and benefits for general and administrative personnel, consulting fees, legal, accounting and other professional fees, information technology costs and allocated facilities costs. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute terms as we hire additional personnel and incur costs related to the anticipated growth of our business, capital raises and our operation as a public company. We also expect that these expenses will increase because of the additional costs to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulation, our efforts to expand our operations and, in the near term, additional accounting costs related to our operation as a public company.

 

41
 

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets. We will record amortization of acquired intangible assets that are directly related to revenue-generating activities as part of our cost of revenues and amortization of the remaining acquired intangible assets, such as customer lists and platform, as part of our operating expenses. We will record intangible assets on our balance sheet based upon their fair value at the time they are acquired. We will determine the fair value of the intangible assets using a contribution approach. We will amortize the amortizable intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to five years.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

We provide for deferred income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and the tax effect of net operating loss carry-forwards. A valuation allowance has been provided as it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be realized.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will require a company to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012. The Company expects this guidance to have an impact on the disclosures related to comprehensive income.

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amendments to the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment guidance which provides an option for companies to not calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 (early adoption is permitted). The implementation of this amended accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. 

 

Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) did not, or are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information that we are required to file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2012 because of the material weaknesses described below. 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

During management’s review of our internal control over financial reporting, we determined the following processes contain material weaknesses as of June 30, 2012:

  

Financial Close and Reporting Process

 

The lack of secondary review of key accounting and financial reporting functions results in a risk in that material accounting errors may not be detected timely. The accounting close and financial reporting process is the responsibility of one individual without sufficient backup for review of accounting functions such as preparation of journal entries and account reconciliations.

 

Management does not believe that any of our annual or interim financial statements issued to-date contain a material misstatement as a result of the aforementioned weaknesses in our internal controls.  However, these material weaknesses related to the entity as a whole affect all of our significant accounts and could result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

 

Our management has identified and is taking the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses existing as of June 30, 2012 described above, as follows:

 

  1. Recruiting a Chief Financial Officer that will oversee that accounting and financial reporting processes

 

  2. Engaged a financial consultant that serves as a liaison between the Board, Senior Management and the Accounting Organization

 

  3. Hiring additional accounting personnel with adequate experience, skills and knowledge to assist in the closing of our financial statements and further segregate duties of financial personnel;

 

  4. Documenting, to standards established by senior accounting personnel and the principal financial officer, the review and analysis and related conclusions with respect to complex, non-routine transactions;

 

43
 

 

  5. Creating policy and guidelines to streamline the corporate reporting process as well as managing non-routine transactions

 

These remediation efforts are expected be implemented during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

  

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our 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 rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the fiscal period ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
