NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]

Information as at September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2010 and 2009 is unaudited

1. Nature of Operations

On June 4, 2009, NeuLion, Inc. changed its name to NeuLion USA, Inc. (“NeuLion USA”). On July 13, 2009, JumpTV Inc. changed its name to NeuLion, Inc. (“NeuLion” or the “Company”). In conjunction with the name change, NeuLion’s stock symbol on the Toronto Stock Exchange was changed from “JTV” to “NLN”. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects the name changes described above as they are effective as of the date of filing this report.

On September 29, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of $10.0 million of Class 3 Preference Shares (the “Preference Shares”). The private placement was made to a limited partnership in which Charles B. Wang, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and David Kronfeld, another director of the Company, hold ownership interests and to a trust affiliated with Gabriel A. Battista, another director of the Company. The Preference Shares were priced at CDN$0.60 per share. The Preference Shares bear certain rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions including, as and when duly declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, the right to receive fixed preferential cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% per annum for a period of five years from issuance as provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for general working capital purposes. [note 12]

The Company is a leading Internet Protocol (“IP”) television company that provides end-to-end IPTV services. “IPTV” refers to the distribution over an IP network of streamed audio, video and other multimedia content, similar to television programming content, using industry-standard streaming protocols. The Company builds and manages private networks for content owners and aggregators (its content partners) that are used to stream content, including live and on-demand sports and international and variety programming, which the Company then delivers to subscribers and pay-per-view customers for viewing on Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices and on standard television sets through Internet-connected set top boxes (“STBs”). NeuLion’s main business objective is to enter into agreements with companies seeking their own private networks to reach target audiences and to provide complete IPTV services to these companies. The Company also acquires the rights to certain sports and international content from television broadcasters (its channel partners), which the Company then streams to end users through its own private networks.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting policies are consistent with those presented in our annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2009. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all footnote disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2009 as they appear in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of these financial statements is in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the disclosures made in the accompanying notes. Despite the Company’s intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated on consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]

Information as at September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2010 and 2009 is unaudited

Revenue recognition

The Company, at the request of certain customers, enters into “bill and hold” arrangements. The Company accounts for its bill and hold revenue arrangements consistent with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and recognizes revenue when the risk of ownership has passed to the customer and a fixed commitment to purchase the goods is received. The Company does not retain any specific performance obligations such that the earning process is not complete and ordered goods are segregated from the Company’s inventory and not available to fulfill other orders. Inventory consists of finished goods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized zero and $586,500, respectively, in revenue associated with these arrangements. There were no comparable amounts in 2009.

Recently issued accounting standard

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 amends guidance included within ASC Topic 605-25 to require an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor-specific objective evidence or acceptable third-party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple-element arrangement. The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation. ASU 2009-13 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU 2009-13.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $168,258 and $756,443 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively [three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 - $313,602 and $794,033, respectively].

Comparative information

Certain prior period information was reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

3. Business Combination

On October 31, 2009, the Company consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc. (“INSINC”). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, shareholders of INSINC received consideration consisting of 6,000,012 common shares, CDN$2.5 million in cash, 1,000,000 share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at US$1.35 per common share and 500,000 share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at US$1.80 per common share. Both series of warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $515,000 of direct transaction costs.

Pro forma

The results of operations for INSINC have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since October 31, 2009, the effective date of the acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of the Company and INSINC as if the acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of 2009:

Investment in affiliate – KyLinTV

The Company records its investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.

From January 1, 2008 through February 26, 2010 the Company’s equity interest in KyLinTV was 17.1%. On February 26, 2010, a group of private investors invested $10.0 million in KyLinTV, which reduced the Company’s equity interest to 12.2%. Of the total $10.0 million investment, $1.0 million was invested by AvantaLion LLC, a company controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. As previously discussed, the Company also provides and charges KyLinTV for administrative and general corporate support. Management has determined that, as a result of the 12.2% equity interest combined with the services that the Company provides KyLinTV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV; therefore, the Company continues to account for its investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.

The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment was reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

The results of operations and financial position of KyLinTV are summarized below:

6. Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of potential common shares, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the losses recorded by the Company.

The following table summarizes the potential common shares that were outstanding as at September 30, 2010 and 2009 but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

7. Contingencies

During the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and a party to claims. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the accounts where required. Although the extent of potential costs and losses, if any is uncertain, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

On January 4, 2010, the Company granted 2,000,000 Series D Warrants to a customer of the Company that are exercisable if the customer achieves certain subscriber levels.

On March 19, 2010, the Company granted 1,250,000 stock options to employees of the Company with an exercise price of $0.59 that vest evenly over 48 months and expire 60 months from the date of grant.

In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the Company recorded an expense of $1,117,500 in selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation, on its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to reflect this modification.

9. Segmented Information

The Company operates as one reportable segment to provide end-to-end enterprise-level IPTV and other professional services. Substantially all of Company’s revenues originate from and long-lived assets are located in the United States.

10. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes Recognition”. There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

The Company’s effective tax rate is zero due to current year losses and the associated valuation allowance on the Company’s net operating losses.

11. Derivative Instruments

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815-40”). One of the conclusions reached under ASC 815-40 was that an equity-linked financial instrument would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock if the strike price is denominated in a currency other than the issuer’s functional currency. The conclusion reached under ASC 815-40 clarified the accounting treatment for these and certain other financial instruments. ASC 815-40 specifies that a contract would not be treated as a derivative if it met the following conditions: (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock; and (b) classified in shareholders’ equity in the Company’s statement of financial position. The Company’s outstanding warrants denominated in Canadian dollars are not considered to be indexed to its own stock because the exercise price is denominated in Canadian dollars and the Company’s functional currency is United States dollars. Therefore, these warrants have been treated as derivative financial instruments and recorded at their fair value as a liability. All other outstanding convertible instruments are considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock, because their exercise price is denominated in the same currency as the Company’s functional currency, and are included in shareholders’ equity.

The Company’s only derivative instruments are 11,000,000 warrants, the exercise price for which are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, as follows:

·	5,500,000 Series A warrants exercisable at CDN$1.25 that expire on October 20, 2010.

·	5,500,000 Series B warrants exercisable at CDN$1.50 that expire on October 20, 2010.

These warrants were recorded at their relative fair values at issuance and will continue to be recorded at fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded as other income (expense). These warrants will continue to be reported as a liability until such time as they are exercised or expire. The fair value of these warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

As of January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of these warrants in the amount of $2,464,000 was reallocated from additional paid-in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $587,950, which was the fair value of the warrants on January 1, 2009 offset by an adjustment to accumulated deficit of $1,876,050.

As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of the warrants was determined to be zero; accordingly, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $70,400 and $1,389,300 in other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, related to the change in the fair value of these warrants.

These warrants expired on October 20, 2010.

12. Redeemable Preferred Shares

On September 29, 2010, the Company issued 17,176,818 Preference Shares for CDN$0.60 per share in a private offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000. Expenses related to the share issuance were $261,966. The principal terms of the Preference Shares are as follows:

Voting rights – The Preference Shares have voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company’s common shares.

Dividend rights – The Preference Shares carry, subject to certain conditions, a fixed cumulative dividend of 8% per annum, accrued daily, compounded annually, for up to five years, and payable in cash upon a liquidation event, as well as the right to receive any dividends paid to common shares.

Conversion rights – Each holder of Preference Shares has the right to convert any or all of his or her Preference Shares, at the option of the holder, at any time, into common shares on a one-to-one basis. In addition, the Preference Shares will automatically be converted into common shares in the event that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preference Shares consent to such conversion. In the event of conversion to common shares, accrued but unpaid dividends shall be paid in cash and shall not increase the number of common shares issuable upon such conversion.

Redemption rights – At any time after five years from the date of issuance, the holders of a majority of the Preference Shares may elect to have the Company redeem the Preference Shares for an amount equal to CDN$0.60 per Preference Share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. At any time after five years from the date of issuance, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Preference Shares for an amount equal to CDN$0.60 per Preference Share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

Liquidation entitlement – In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of common shares, an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Amount (as defined in the Articles of Amendment) of all Preference Shares, together with any accrued but unpaid dividends.

Other provisions – There will be proportional adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

Accounting for Preference Shares

If certain criteria are met, companies must bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative instruments. The Company has evaluated the conversion option on the Preference Shares and determined that the embedded conversion option should not be bifurcated. Additionally, the Company analyzed the conversion feature and determined that the effective conversion price was higher than the market price at the date of issuance; therefore no beneficial conversion feature was recorded. The Company has classified the Preference Shares as temporary equity because they are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. As noted above, the holders of the Preference Shares may demand redemption at any time after five years from the date of issue. The securities are carried at face value net of issuance costs.

13. Subsequent Event

On October 1, 2010, the Company consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of TransVideo, a manufacturer of set top boxes utilized by the Company, in exchange for 22,000,802 common shares of the Company, valued at approximately $8,765,956. TransVideo’s passive investment in KyLinTV, an IPTV company, was not transferred as part of the transaction. TransVideo was and KyLinTV is controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of NeuLion, Inc. (the “Company”, “NeuLion”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar phrases), prepared as of November 10, 2010, should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). For additional information and details, readers are referred to our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2009, which can be found on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov. All dollar amounts set forth in this MD&A are in U.S. dollars (“US$” or “$”) unless stated otherwise. As at October 29, 2010, the Bank of Canada noon rate for conversion of United States dollars to Canadian dollars (CDN$) was US$1 to CDN$1.0188.

Our MD&A is intended to enable readers to gain an understanding of our current results and financial position. To do so, we provide information and analysis comparing the results of operations and financial position for the current period to those of the preceding comparable period. We also provide analysis and commentary that we believe is required to assess our future prospects. Accordingly, certain sections of this report contain forward-looking statements that are based on current plans and expectations. These forward-looking statements are affected by risks and uncertainties that are discussed in our Annual Report, and below in the section titled “Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and could have a material impact on future prospects. Readers are cautioned that actual results could vary from those forecasted in this MD&A.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On September 29, 2010, we completed a private placement of $10.0 million of Class 3 Preference Shares (the “Preference Shares”). The private placement was made to a limited partnership in which Charles B. Wang, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and David Kronfeld, another one of our directors, hold ownership interests and to a trust affiliated with Gabriel A. Battista, another one of our directors. The Preference Shares were priced at CDN$0.60 per share. The Preference Shares bear certain rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions including, as and when duly declared by our Board of Directors, the right to receive fixed preferential cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% per annum for a period of five years from issuance as provided in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for general working capital purposes.

On October 1, 2010, we consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding securities of TransVideo, a manufacturer of set top boxes utilized by us, in exchange for 22,000,802 of our common shares. TransVideo’s passive investment in KyLinTV, Inc. (“KyLinTV”), an IPTV company, was not transferred as part of the transaction. TransVideo was and KyLinTV is controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

On October 14, 2010, the Company and The National Basketball Association (“NBA”) announced that we had entered into a services agreement to enhance NBA LEAGUE PASS International, the NBA’s live-game subscription service. Our technology and services will be utilized to provide fans in more than 200 countries and territories with access to a full season of live NBA games on NBA.com, that can also for the first time, be viewed on select mobile devices.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading Internet Protocol (“IP”) television company, that provides end-to-end IPTV services. “IPTV” refers to the distribution over an IP network of streamed audio, video and other multimedia content, similar to television programming content, using industry-standard streaming protocols. We build and manage private networks for content owners and aggregators (our content partners) that are used to stream content, including live and on-demand sports and international and variety programming, which we then deliver to subscribers and pay-per-view customers for viewing on Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices and on standard television sets through Internet-connected set top boxes (“STBs”). Our main business objective is to enter into agreements with companies seeking to reach target audiences through their own private networks and to provide complete IPTV services to these companies. We also acquire the rights to certain sports and international content from television broadcasters (our channel partners), which we then stream to end users through our own private networks.

Our business model has evolved from a professional IT services and international programming provider to an end-to-end provider of IPTV services. By “end-to-end provider of IPTV services,” we mean that we provide the following services:

content management — encoding and transcoding various digital and analog TV and video formats;

subscriber management — managing subscriber access and control of subscriber accounts;

digital rights management — preserving the integrity of the content and protecting it from unauthorized access;

billing services — enabling customers to view subscription accounts, and providing pay-per-view transactional billing and payment processing;

delivery — delivering streamed audio, video and other multimedia content anywhere, anytime through the Company’s IPTV service and infrastructure; and

advertising insertion.

Customer Relationships

We have two types of relationships: business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”).

B2B relationships have been our primary focus in the past and are expected to be our focus in the future. Our B2B relationships generally involve providing an end-to-end solution to a customer to enable that customer to provide its content, by way of an IPTV platform built for that customer, to its end users. B2B customers typically aggregate the content, negotiate the licensing rights and directly market the availability of the content. This customer avails itself of the full services of the Company in delivery to its end users. This type of relationship is typical in the professional and college sports properties and in our agreements with international and broad-based content providers.

Our B2C relationships are individual consumer oriented. We have signed content distribution agreements with our channel partners and content partners in exchange for revenue share or royalty payments to such partners. We then market the content on one (or more) of the proprietary targeted websites that we have developed which are focused on a specific diaspora community, as well as on the general Company website for purchase by an end user. We often aggregate the content into bundles or packages of similar interest (e.g. Talfazat for the Middle East community; TV-Desi for the South Asian community). We incur marketing expenses in promoting the availability of such content.

The United States and Canada are the principal markets in which our sales occur.

Products and Services

Sports programming

Through our comprehensive end-to-end IPTV solution, we provide our sports programming content partners with the ability to deliver live and on-demand content. We maintain distribution and technology services agreements with leading professional and collegiate sports properties as well as with the sports network ESPN. Amongst professional sports leagues, NeuLion counts the National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), the NBA, Major League Soccer (MLS) and the American Hockey League (AHL) as clients. Through our acquisition of Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc. (“INSINC”), a provider of sports, government and entertainment webcasting services, we expanded our portfolio of sports content partners to include the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), the Central Hockey League (CHL), the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), the Central Canadian Hockey League (CCHL), the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), the Central Junior Hockey League (CJHL) and the Canadian Football League (CFL).

We also operate our own portfolio of sports-oriented websites, including Cycling.tv, CollegeSportsDirect.com and select World Cup soccer properties. On the collegiate level, we are a premier partner for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) colleges and universities, with agreements in place with approximately 155 colleges, universities or related sites.

Ethnic/international and specialty programming

The Company also offers what is referred to in the industry as “ethnic television,” which we define as programming directed at a specific diaspora community, as determined by a shared nationality, language or culture, and generally excluding communities for which English is the primary language. We have license agreements directly with channel partners representing approximately 165 channels from 45 countries that give us rights to stream, predominantly on an exclusive world-wide basis, the channel partners’ live linear television feeds over the public Internet using our proprietary private networks such as Talfazat and TV-Desi.

Our subsidiary, INSINC, also distributes government and entertainment content. Its clients in those industries include Business News Network (BNN), CTV News Channel, Rogers Sportsnet, TVG Networks, The Canadian Press, the Canadian Ministry of Justice, the BC Ministry of Education, and the Legislative Assemblies of British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador, among others.

We also have relationships with other specialty programming customers such as Sky Angel U.S. LLC, which streams faith-based programming.

Services

Our suite of technology and other services is directed at the entire spectrum of content aggregation and delivery. Our services include:

content ingestion;

web site design and hosting;

live and on-demand streaming of content on multiple platforms;

billing services;

facilitating online merchandise sales;

mobile features (streaming highlights, alerts, wallpaper and ring tones);

online ticketing;

auction engine (jerseys, tickets);

social networking;

customer and fan support; and

marketing and advertising sales.

Distribution Methods

We distribute content through two primary methods:

Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices; and

standard television sets through use of our Internet-connected STBs.

Both of our distribution methods take advantage of an open IPTV network, the public Internet. As a result, content we deliver is available globally and is potentially unlimited in breadth.

Revenue

We earn revenue in two broad categories: services revenue and equipment revenue. Services revenue includes subscriber revenue, eCommerce revenue and technology revenue. Equipment revenue includes the sale and shipping of STBs. Our revenue streams are described in detail below under the heading “OPERATIONS.”

Overall Performance — Three months ended September 30, 2010 vs Three months ended September 30, 2009

We use the term “organic” to refer to the period-over-period changes in our revenues and expenses, excluding the revenues and expenses of INSINC. This permits readers to better compare current year and prior year revenues and expenses, and to understand changes that have occurred, without regard to the effect of the acquisition of INSINC.

Services Revenue, which is our recurring revenue stream, increased by $1.0 million, or 18%, as compared to the same period one year ago.

Cost of Services Revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, decreased by $0.2 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period one year ago.

Overview

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $6.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 15%, from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The revenue growth of $0.9 million was due to the following:

· organic growth of $0.4 million; and

· revenue from INSINC of $0.5 million.

The organic revenue growth of $0.4 million was due to an increase in our services revenue of $0.6 million offset by a decrease in our equipment revenue of $0.2 million.

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $5.0 million, or a loss of $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, compared with a net loss of $7.5 million, or a loss of $0.07 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in net loss of $2.5 million, or 33%, was due to the following:

an increase in total revenue of $0.9 million;

a decrease in cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million;

a decrease in stock-based compensation of $0.1 million (non-cash item); and

an unrealized gain on derivative of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a $2.2 million loss on derivative for the three months ended September 30, 2009 (non-cash item).

Offset by the following:

an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation of $0.7 million;

an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million (non-cash item);

a decrease in investment income of $0.1 million; and

a nominal foreign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a $0.1 million foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

On a pro forma basis, as if the acquisition of INSINC had occurred on January 1, 2009, revenue increased from $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our pro forma net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $5.0 million, or a loss of $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, compared with a pro forma net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $7.7 million, or a loss of $0.07 per basic and diluted common share. The decrease in net loss of $2.7 million, or 35% on a pro forma basis, was due to the following:

an increase in total revenue of $0.1 million;

a decrease in cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization of $0.5 million;

a decrease in stock-based compensation of $0.1 million (non-cash item);

a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million (non-cash item); and

Offset by the following:

an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation of $0.3 million;

a decrease in investment income of $0.1 million; and

a nominal foreign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a $0.1 million foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss (as defined below) was $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with a non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The improvement in non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was due to the impact of the items noted in the actual net loss discussion above. On a pro forma basis, our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss increased from a loss of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to a loss of $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was due to the impact of the items noted in the pro forma net loss discussion above.

We report non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss because it is a key measure used by management to evaluate our results and make strategic decisions about the Company, including potential acquisitions. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss represents net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, unrealized gain/loss on derivatives, investment income and foreign exchange gain/loss. This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Revenue

Services revenue

Services revenue includes revenue from subscribers, eCommerce and technology services. Services revenue increased from $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The $1.0 million increase was due to the acquisition of INSINC, which accounted for $0.5 million of services revenue, and to organic growth of $0.5 million.

Subscriber revenue increased from $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was due to organic growth of $0.5 million, of which $0.2 million was from new customers.

eCommerce revenue was $0.9 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2010.

Technology revenue increased from $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was due to the acquisition of INSINC, which accounted for $0.5 million of technology revenue.

Equipment revenue

Equipment revenue decreased from $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The $0.2 million decrease in equipment revenue was the result of fewer customers purchasing STBs.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of services revenue

Cost of services revenue decreased from $2.9 million, or 51%, of services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $2.7 million, or 40%, of services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010, despite an increase in services revenue of $1.1 million, or 19%. Included in cost of services revenue is $0.2 million from INSINC. The decrease of $0.2 million and the 11% improvement (as a percentage of services revenue) primarily relate to negotiated lower rates on bandwidth costs.

Cost of equipment revenue

Cost of equipment revenue decreased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to decreased equipment sales. Cost of equipment revenue is directly variable with changes in equipment revenue. Cost of equipment revenue as a percentage of equipment revenue increased from 97% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 100% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to increased shipping costs related to TV-Desi and Talfazat rental STBs.

Selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation

Selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation, increased from $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. INSINC comprised $0.4 million of the total expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The individual variances are as follows:

Wages and benefits increased from $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. INSINC comprised $0.3 million of total wages and benefits increase for the period.

Stock-based compensation expense decreased from $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Marketing expenses decreased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Professional fees decreased from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Other SG&A expenses increased from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $0.6 million reserve for an other receivable.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was due to the amortization of INSINC’s acquired fixed and intangible assets.

Unrealized gain on derivative

Unrealized gain on derivative decreased from a loss of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to a gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We adopted ASC 815-40 effective January 1, 2009, which required us to record at fair value all Convertible Securities denominated in a currency other than our functional currency. On January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of 11,000,000 warrants denominated in Canadian dollars of $2.5 million was reallocated from additional paid-in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $0.6 million with an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit of $1.9 million. The difference between the fair value at September 30, 2010 of zero and the fair value at June 30, 2010 of $0.1 million resulted in an unrealized gain on derivative of $0.1 million.

These warrants have been recorded at their relative fair values at issuance, determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Any change in value between reporting periods has been recorded as other income (expense).

These warrants expired on October 20, 2010.

INSINC comprised $1.4 million of the total $2.9 million increase. The individual variances are as follows:

Wages and benefits increased from $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. INSINC comprised $1.0 million of the increase in total wages and benefits for the period. The organic decrease of $0.5 million was due to a decrease in headcount.

Stock-based compensation expense increased from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The $0.9 million increase primarily relates to the modification of 5,000,000 incentive warrants. On June 15, 2010, our shareholders approved a resolution to extend the expiry date of 5,000,000 incentive warrants from October 20, 2010 to October 20, 2013. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the Company recorded an expense of $1.1 million as a result of this modification.

Marketing expenses were $0.8 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010.

Professional fees increased from $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase primarily represents legal fees and valuation services provided in connection with the acquisition of TransVideo.

Other SG&A expenses increased from $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. INSINC accounted for $0.4 million of the total for the current period. The organic increase of $0.4 million was primarily the result of a $0.6 million reserve for an other receivable offset by decreases in travel and office-related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was due to the amortization of INSINC’s acquired fixed and intangible assets.

Unrealized gain on derivative

Unrealized gain on derivative decreased from a loss of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to a gain of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company adopted ASC 815-40 effective January 1, 2009, which required the Company to record at fair value all Convertible Securities denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. On January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of 11,000,000 warrants denominated in Canadian dollars of $2.5 million was reallocated from additional paid-in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $0.6 million with an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit of $1.9 million. The difference between the fair value at September 30, 2010 of zero and the fair value at December 31, 2009 of $1.4 million resulted in an unrealized gain on derivative of $1.4 million.

These warrants expired on October 20, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our cash position increased by $0.2 million. We used $8.3 million to fund operations, which included working capital changes of $0.9 million. Additionally, we received $10.0 million in a private placement and spent $1.5 million to purchase fixed assets.

As of September 30, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $13.2 million and trade accounts receivable of $2.0 million. On July 29, 2010, we entered into an agreement with a U.S. bank to provide for a short-term credit facility of $2.0 million, bearing an interest rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.5%, repayable in full on or before October 1, 2010. On October 1, 2010, this agreement expired without us having drawn on the credit facility. Additionally, we closed a $10.0 million private placement of our Preference Shares on September 29, 2010; we will use these funds for general working capital purposes (see “Recent Developments”). We continue to closely monitor our cash balances to ensure that we have sufficient cash on hand to meet our operating needs. Management believes that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2010, approximately 90% of our cash and cash equivalents were held in bank accounts with a U.S. bank that received an A- rating by Standard and Poors and an A2 rating by Moody’s, and 6% of our cash and cash equivalents were held in bank accounts with two of the top five Canadian commercial banks. The Company believes that these U.S. and Canadian financial institutions are secure notwithstanding the current global economy and that we will be able to access the remaining balance of bank deposits as these deposits are with large reputable banks. Our investment policy is to invest in low-risk short-term investments which are primarily term deposits. We have not had a history of any defaults on these term deposits, nor do we expect any in the future given the short term to maturity of these investments.

Our business is still in its early stages, with only a few years of operating history. From our inception, we have incurred substantial net losses and have an accumulated deficit of $58.0 million; management expects these losses to continue in the short term. We continue to review our operating structure to maximize revenue opportunity, further reduce costs and achieve profitability. Based on our current business plan and internal forecasts, and considering the risks that are present in the current global economy, we believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. However, we will require expenditures of significant funds for marketing, building our subscriber management systems, programming and website development, maintaining adequate video streaming and database software, pursuing and maintaining channel distribution agreements with our channel partners, fees relating to acquiring and maintaining Internet streaming rights to our content and the construction and maintenance of our delivery infrastructure and office facilities. Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed herein or incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in the section titled “Risk Factors.” If our actual cash needs are greater than forecasted and if cash on hand is insufficient to meet our working capital and cash requirements for the next twelve months, we will require outside capital in addition to cash flow from operations in order to fund our business. Our short operating history, our current lack of profitability and the prolonged upheaval in the capital markets could each or all be factors that might negatively impact our ability to obtain outside capital on reasonable terms, or at all. If we were ever unable to obtain needed capital, we would reevaluate and reprioritize our planned capital expenditures and operating activities. We cannot assure you that we will ultimately be able to generate sufficient revenue or reduce our costs in the anticipated time frame to become profitable and have sustainable net positive cash flows.

Working Capital Requirements

Our net working capital at September 30, 2010 was $0.7 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from the December 31, 2009 net working capital of $1.0 million. Included in current liabilities at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are approximately $4.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of liabilities (derivative liability and deferred revenue) that we do not anticipate settling in cash. Excluding these liabilities, our working capital ratios at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were 1.45 and 1.54, respectively.

The decrease in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in current assets of $0.2 million and a decrease in current liabilities of $0.1 million.

Current assets at September 30, 2010 were $17.6 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $17.8 million.

Current liabilities at September 30, 2010 were $16.9 million, an increase of $0.1 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $16.8 million.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related parties, and deferred revenue.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount for which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short maturity term of these financial instruments.

Risks associated with financial instruments

Foreign exchange risk

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than our functional currency of the United States dollar. The majority of our revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars, whereas a portion of our expenses are transacted in U.S. or Canadian dollars. We do not use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our invested cash and cash equivalents and our short-term investments. The interest rates on these instruments are based on bank rates and therefore are subject to change with the market. We do not use derivative financial instruments to reduce our interest rate risk.

Credit risk

We sell our services to a variety of customers under various payment terms and therefore are exposed to credit risk. We have adopted policies and procedures designed to limit this risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents our estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment in affiliate – KyLinTV

We record our investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.

From January 1, 2008 through February 26, 2010 our equity interest in KyLinTV was 17.1%. On February 26, 2010, a group of private investors invested $10.0 million in KyLinTV, which reduced our equity interest to 12.2%. Of the total $10.0 million investment, $1.0 million was invested by AvantaLion LLC, a company controlled by the Chairman of our Board of Directors. As previously discussed, we also provide and charge KyLinTV for administrative and general corporate support. Management has determined that as a result of the 12.2% equity interest combined with the services that we provide KyLinTV, we continue to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV; therefore, we continue to account for our investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.

Our proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment had been reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008. No further charges will be recorded as we have no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

The results of operations and financial position of our equity basis investment in KyLinTV are summarized below:

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 amends guidance included within ASC Topic 605-25 to require an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple element arrangement. The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation. ASU 2009-13 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after September 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU 2009-13.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

We had total common shares outstanding as at November 9, 2010 of 138,981,443. In addition, as at such date we had in the aggregate 51,093,311 outstanding Preference Shares, options, SARs, restricted share units, warrants and retention warrants, which are each exchangeable for one common share upon exercise or conversion.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain appropriate disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting (each as defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), of the Canadian Securities Administrators) to ensure that information disclosed externally is complete, reliable and timely. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, or caused an evaluation under their direct supervision of, the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as at September 30, 2010, and have concluded that such DC&P and ICFR were appropriately designed and were operating effectively, except as outlined below. See “Limitation on Scope of Design” below.

Limitation on Scope of Design

We have limited the scope of design of our internal controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to exclude controls, policies and procedures of INSINC, which we acquired effective October 31, 2009. The chart below presents the summary financial information of INSINC.

The scope limitation is in accordance with section 3.3(1)(b) of NI 52-109, which allows an issuer to limit its design of DC&P and ICFR to exclude controls, policies and procedures of a business that the issuer acquired not more than 365 days prior to the end of the fiscal period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

During our most recent fiscal quarter, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
