PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

NeuLion, Inc. (“NeuLion,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading IPTV company that provides a comprehensive suite of technology and digital services. “IPTV” refers to the distribution of streamed audio, video and other multimedia content over a broadband network. Through IPTV, we build and manage private networks for our customers that are used to deliver live and on-demand sports, international, entertainment and variety programming to subscribers and pay-per-view customers. We also offer our customers a complete web platform that includes e-commerce tools, ticketing solutions and hosting services. In addition, we stream international programming via proprietary websites targeted to specific communities. We were incorporated on January 14, 2000 under the Canada Business Corporations Act and were domesticated under Delaware law on November 30, 2010. Our common stock is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Our IPTV service is available to users over the Internet through many Internet-connected browser-based devices, including:

personal computers and laptops;

mobile devices such as the iPhone, BlackBerry and Android;

gaming consoles such as Sony PS3;

tablets such as the iPad;

Internet-enabled TVs (televisions that have a built-in Internet connection);

standard TV sets that have Internet-connected set top boxes (STBs); and

other Internet-enabled consumer accessories.

Our core business objective is to enter into agreements with companies seeking to reach target audiences through their own private networks and to provide them with complete IPTV services. These companies in turn are able to use our services to reach more consumers and to grow their brands and revenues. We also acquire the rights to certain international content from television broadcasters, which is then streamed to end users through our proprietary networks. Our business model has evolved from a provider of professional information technology services and international programming to a provider of end-to-end IPTV services for a wide range of professional and collegiate sports properties, entertainment networks and international clients.

Our platform offers an “end-to-end” service, which includes the following:

content management – preparing and formatting various digital and analog TV and video formats for streaming over the Internet;

subscriber management – authorizing and controlling 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; and

advertising insertion – adding digital advertising into streamed video.

Acquisition of TransVideo International, Ltd. (“TransVideo”)

On October 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of TransVideo in exchange for 22,000,802 shares of common stock of NeuLion valued at $8,515,641. TransVideo’s passive investment in KyLinTV, Inc. (“KyLinTV”), an IPTV company, was not included as part of the transaction. TransVideo is a public Internet-based IPTV technology and solution provider headquartered in Beijing, China. It develops proprietary hardware designs and software for encoders and transcoders, IPTV STBs, digital media storage boxes, public IPTV media servers, signal transfer and monitoring equipment and software that acts as a public IPTV player. TransVideo was, and KyLinTV is, controlled by Charles B. Wang, Chairman of our Board of Directors.

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 deliver 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 our full services in delivery to its end users. This type of relationship is typical of our professional and college sports partners and of our agreements with international and broad-based content providers.

Our B2C relationships are oriented to the individual consumer. We have signed content distribution agreements with our B2C 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 that are focused on a specific community. We often aggregate the content into bundles or packages of similar interest; for example, through our subsidiary Talfazat, we focus on the Middle East community, and through our subsidiary TV-Desi, we focus on 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 platform, we provide our sports programming content partners with the ability to deliver live and on-demand content. We maintain distribution and technology service agreements with leading professional and collegiate sports properties as well as with the sports network ESPN. Among professional sports leagues, we count the National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Major League Soccer (MLS) 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), the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) and the Canadian Football League (CFL).

We also operate our own portfolio of sports-oriented websites, including Cycling.tv and CollegeSportsDirect.com. 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

We also offer 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 content partners representing approximately 160 channels from 45 countries that give us rights to stream, predominantly on an exclusive world-wide basis, these partners’ live linear television feeds over the public Internet using our proprietary private networks on websites such as Talfazat.com and TV-Desi.com.

We also distribute government and entertainment content through our subsidiary INSINC. Our 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 British Columbia Ministry of Education, and the Legislative Assemblies of British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador, among others.

Table of Contents

We also have relationships with other specialty programming customers such as Sky Angel U.S. LLC, which streams faith-based programming, and the Independent Film Channel, which streams independent films and entertainment through its Sundance Now IPTV service.

Services

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

content management;

website design and hosting;

live and on-demand streaming of content on multiple platforms such as personal computers, laptops, tablets, mobile devices and Internet-enabled TVs;

digital rights management;

advertisement insertion;

billing services;

subscriber management;

facilitating online merchandise sales;

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

online ticketing;

auction engines (jerseys; tickets);

social networking;

customer support service; and

marketing and advertising sales.

Distribution Methods

We distribute content through two primary methods:

Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops, tablets, mobile devices and Internet-enabled TVs; 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 delivered by NeuLion 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, e-commerce revenue and technology revenue. Equipment revenue includes sale and shipping of STBs. Our revenue streams are described in detail in Item 7 hereof under the heading “OPERATIONS.”

Competition

New technologies and entrants could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our IPTV offerings. For example, fixed line telecommunications and mobile telephony companies who offer or plan to offer video services may compete with us. As they strive to maintain and grow their customer bases, fixed line telecommunications companies will likely see closed network IPTV as a central element of a “triple-play” strategy that will package telephone, television and Internet services in a single offering. Moreover, certain IPTV service providers have an internal Internet Protocol distribution strategy whereby they make their live linear feeds, as well as repurposed content, available through their own websites on a paid basis or free advertisement-supported basis.

We also face competition from other online content providers who offer sports, entertainment, and/or international programming. In addition, there are multiple operators of pirated video content who stream content for which they have not received consent from the legal and beneficial owners of such content. Furthermore, there are multiple front-end providers that provide a menu of links to streaming video content via websites on the Internet. These “bootleggers” and front-end providers have varying menus of ethnic content and offer such content at varying degrees of streaming quality.

Table of Contents

We may also be placed at a competitive disadvantage to the extent that other video providers are able to offer programming of higher technical quality than we can. While we expect to continue to improve the technical quality of our products and services and offer our video content at increasingly higher streaming speeds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with other video providers.

To distinguish our product line from our competitors’ offerings, we seek to be a “one-stop shopping” source for our customers. Our suite of technology and other services, discussed above, is directed at the entire spectrum of content aggregation and delivery. Many companies in our markets offer far narrower choices of services than we offer. For example, some content providers deliver only their own content, while we offer the content of multiple providers. Or, an agency may provide only online ticketing services, while we also provide related e-commerce (online shopping) and fan networking. We also provide the STBs used to view our content on a television set. We strive to meet every customer’s needs at every level and partner with them across product lines and extensions.

Customer Dependence

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2008, three customers accounted for 54% of our revenue, as follows: 32%; 12%; and 10%.

Seasonality

Our sports content business is subject to fluctuation because demand for our sports programming corresponds to the seasons of the sports for which we stream content.

Regulation

Governments and regulatory authorities in some jurisdictions in which our subscribers reside or our content originates may impose rules and regulations requiring licensing for distribution of IPTV content over the Internet. Regulatory schemes can vary significantly from country to country. We may be subject to broadcasting or other regulations in countries in which we have subscribers or from which our content partners distribute their live linear feeds to us, and we may not be aware of those regulations or their application to us. Further, governments and regulatory authorities in many jurisdictions regularly review their broadcasting rules and policies, including the application of those rules and policies to new and emerging media.

Traditional over-the-air and cable television broadcasting businesses are generally subject to extensive government regulation and significant regulatory oversight in most jurisdictions, including many of the countries from which our content originates and many of the countries into which we distribute our content to subscribers. Regulations typically govern the issuance, amendment, renewal, transfer and ownership of over-the-air broadcast licenses, cable franchise licenses, competition and cross ownership and sometimes also govern the timing and content of programming, the timing, content and amount of commercial advertising and the amount of foreign versus domestically produced programming. In many jurisdictions, including the United States and Canada, there are also significant restrictions on the ability of foreign entities to own or control traditional over-the-air television broadcasting businesses. We are not aware of any regulations in any of the jurisdictions in which our subscribers reside that would require us to be licensed to distribute content over the public Internet.

Governments and regulatory authorities in some jurisdictions in which our subscribers reside may impose rules and regulations affecting the content distributed over IPTV. For example:

In the United States, we may fall within the statutory definition of a multichannel video program distributor (“MVPD”), making us subject to the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulations applicable to MVPDs. In August 2008, the FCC sought comments regarding whether regulatory fees should be imposed on IPTV service. The FCC, however, has not ruled whether providers of IPTV content over the Internet are MVPDs, and as such, we do not consider that the statutory and regulatory requirements of MVPDs apply to us. If we were found to be an MVPD, we would be required to scramble any sexually explicit programming we distributed (currently, we do not distribute any such programming), close caption programs we offered subscribers, comply with certain FCC advertising regulations and be subject to the FCC’s equal employment opportunity rules, but we would not be subject to licensing or rate regulation or be required to secure approval to deliver IPTV content over the public Internet to subscribers residing in the United States.

Table of Contents

In Canada,

our activities fall under the Broadcasting Act (Canada). The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”) is an independent public organization that regulates and supervises the Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications systems. The CRTC uses the objectives in the Broadcasting Act (Canada) to guide its policy decisions. In October 2009 the CRTC issued Broadcasting Order CRTC 2009-660, committing the regulator to a “New Media Exemption Order” under which the CRTC will continue to refrain from regulating most aspects of audiovisual content made available and delivered over the Internet, or delivered using other point-to-point technology and received by way of mobile devices (the “New Media Exemption Order”). This exemption, which the CRTC expects to review by mid-2014 or at such time as events dictate, refrains from requiring Canadian ownership and control, or the licensing, of undertakings engaged in such activities, among other matters. However, there are two conditions which create exceptions to the scope of this exemption.

One condition to the New Media Exemption Order is an increased role in monitoring the development of markets in audiovisual content on the Internet. This condition does not currently apply to our activities in Canada, although the CRTC indicated in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2010-582 that it may decide to extend these requirements to undertakings like ours. The other condition to the New Media Exemption Order is an anti-discrimination rule against the exercise of an “undue preference,” which is the provision by a party who controls new media distribution of unduly preferential access to its platforms and customer base. The scope of the undue preference rule is currently being considered by the CRTC (Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2010-783). Although the CRTC has not yet rendered a decision, the undue preference rule likely applies to our activities and may affect certain aspects of our interactions with our content partners, such as our ability to maintain exclusive Canadian rights to either channels or programs.

our operations are also affected by CRTC rules adopted under the Telecommunications Act (Canada) that prevent Internet access providers from discriminating against traffic transmitted to and from our users under the Internet Traffic Management Practice (“ITMP”) regulatory framework issued in Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2009-657. The ITMP framework regulates how Internet access providers handle traffic on the public Internet. The ITMP framework: prohibits content-blocking; requires detailed prior public notice, followed by a 30-day warning period, before any retail traffic-shaping measures are implemented; and prohibits traffic-shaping that does not address a justifiable purpose in a manner that is narrowly tailored, minimizes harm, and could not have been reasonably avoided through network investment or economic approaches. Except as otherwise described, while we are not aware of any proposed regulatory initiatives regulating IPTV content in any of the jurisdictions in which our subscribers reside, we cannot assure you that regulations or orders will not be amended in the future in a manner that requires us to modify or block content in particular jurisdictions in order to continue distributing our IPTV services to subscribers in those jurisdictions or that otherwise affects our operations in a materially adverse manner.

Table of Contents

The United Kingdom implemented regulations in 2010 dealing with on-demand services. It adopted a co-regulatory structure with The Association for Television On-Demand (“ATVOD”) having primary responsibility over content issues and the Advertising Standards Association regulating advertising on video-on-demand services. The Office of Communications has backstop powers to regulate both content and advertising on such services. ATVOD has issued guidance on what on-demand services fall within its regulatory scope. Service providers caught by this regulatory regime for on-demand services have to register their service with ATVOD and pay a license fee. ATVOD is currently consulting on the license fees to be paid in 2011-2012. Other European Union member states have implemented different regulatory structures to deal with VOD services under their jurisdiction. If we merely provide access but do not exercise editorial control over the content of a video-on-demand service, we will not be regulated. Moreover, as we believe that we are not currently established in the UK or any other European Union member state for the purposes of the directive, neither our streamed nor our on-demand video services will be regulated within the European Union.

A European Union directive, entitled the “Audiovisual and Media Services Directive,” was adopted on December 19, 2007. This directive could subject IPTV service providers and content, including subscription-based IPTV content that is distributed over the public Internet in the United Kingdom and to other European Union member states, to regulatory requirements. European Union member states had until December 19, 2009 to implement this directive. A streamed IPTV service could be subject to regulation as a broadcast service in certain situations. For example, as part of its implementation of the directive, the United Kingdom amended its definition of what constitutes a television licensable content service (i.e., a broadcast service) to include Internet-delivered television service. The service will also be regulated if it is an on-demand service which contains primarily programs. Under the directive, whether a broadcast or on-demand service, it will be regulated in the member state in which the service provider is established (for example, where it has its head office and editorial control is exercised), but the service will be able to be received freely throughout the other European Union member states.

Our business may also be adversely affected by foreign import, export and currency regulations and global economic conditions. Our current and future development opportunities partly relate to geographical areas outside of the United States and Canada. There are a number of risks inherent in international business activities, including:

government policies concerning the import and export of goods and services;

costs of localizing products and subcontractors in foreign countries;

costs associated with the use of foreign agents;

potentially adverse tax consequences;

limits on repatriation of earnings;

the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;

nationalization; and

potential social, labor, political and economic instability.

We cannot assure you that such risks will not adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, a portion of our expenditures and revenues will be in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our foreign exchange exposure may vary over time with changes in the geographic mix of our business activities. Foreign currencies may be unfavorably impacted by global developments, country-specific events and many other factors. As a result, our future results may be adversely affected by significant foreign exchange fluctuations.

Employees

As of March 15, 2011, we had 366 total employees, 315 of whom were full-time employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The following are specific and general risks that could affect us. If any of the circumstances described in these risk factors actually occurs, or if additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we do not currently believe to be material in fact occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. In addition to carefully considering the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, you should also consider the risks described under the caption “Regulation” in Item 1 hereof, which risk factors are incorporated by reference into this Item 1A. In addition, these factors represent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We may need additional capital to fund continued growth, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Our ability to increase revenue will depend in part on our ability to continue growing the business by developing IPTV platforms for new customers as well as maintaining and increasing our proprietary networks’ subscriber bases, which may require significant additional capital that may not be available to us. We may need additional financing due to future developments, changes in our business plan or failure of our current business plan to succeed, which could result from increased marketing, distribution or programming costs. Our actual funding requirements could vary materially from our current estimates. If additional financing is needed, we may not be able to raise sufficient funds on favorable terms or at all. Continued turbulence in the financial markets has made it more difficult for early stage companies such as ours to access capital markets on acceptable terms or at all. If we issue common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, in the future, such issuance will result in the then-existing stockholders sustaining dilution to their relative proportion of our outstanding equity. If we fail to obtain any necessary financing on a timely basis, then our ability to execute our current business plan may be limited, and our business, liquidity and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The continuing global economic crisis could result in decreases in customer traffic and otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

The global economy, including the U.S. economy, is still experiencing the effects of a severe recession. As a business that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, we face another challenging year because our IPTV platform customers’ subscribers and our proprietary network subscribers may have less money to spend on non-essential items as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, reduced access to credit and falling home prices. Any resulting decreases in customer traffic and revenue, or our customers’ inability to pay for subscribed services, will negatively impact our financial performance because reduced revenue results in smaller profit margins and could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, many of the long-term effects and consequences of the recent recession are currently unknown; any one or all of them could potentially have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources, including our ability to raise additional capital if needed.

We are an early-stage enterprise with a short operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects.

We are still in the early stages of building out our current business. In 2006, our business model evolved from providing professional information technology services and international programming to providing end-to-end IPTV services for a wide range of professional and collegiate sports properties, entertainment networks and international clients. Many of the expenses, problems and delays encountered by an enterprise in its early stages may be beyond our control. As an early-stage enterprise, we expend significant funds on:

marketing;

programming and website development;

maintaining adequate video-streaming and database software;

building subscriber management systems; and

pursuing, acquiring and maintaining Internet distribution rights agreements with our content partners.

From our inception, we have incurred substantial net losses, and we expect to continue operating at a loss in the near future. If we are ultimately unable to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable and have sustainable positive cash flows, our investors could lose some or all of their investment.

We may also encounter certain problems or delays in building our business, including those related to:

regulatory policies and compliance;

marketing;

consumer acceptance of Internet-based television;

unsuccessful commercial launches of new programming content;

costs and expenses that exceed current estimates;

financing needs; and

the construction, integration, testing or upgrading of our distribution infrastructure and other systems.

Table of Contents

Delays in the timely design, construction, deployment and commercial operation of our business, and consequently the achievement of positive cash flow, could result from a variety of causes, many of which are beyond our control. Substantial delays in any of these matters could delay or prevent us from achieving profitable operations.

Material increases in our subscriber acquisition costs could adversely affect our financial performance.

We anticipate spending substantial funds on advertising and other marketing to attract new subscribers and maintain our subscriber base. Our ability to achieve profitability depends in part on our ability to achieve and maintain lower subscriber acquisition costs over time. Our subscriber acquisition costs, both in the aggregate and on a per-new-subscriber basis, may materially increase in the future to the extent that we introduce new promotions, whether in response to competition or otherwise. Any material increase in cost from current levels could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot assure you that the current costs of Internet connections and network access will not rise with the increasing popularity of IPTV services, which would adversely affect our business.

We rely on Internet providers for our principal connections and network access and to stream audio and video content to subscribers. As demand for IPTV services increases, we cannot assure you that Internet providers will continue to price their network access services on reasonable terms. The distribution of streaming media requires distribution of large content files and providers of network access may change their business model and increase their prices significantly, which could slow the widespread acceptance of such services. In order for our media content services to be successful, there must be a reasonable price model in place to allow for the continuous distribution of large streaming media files. We have limited or no control over the extent to which any of these circumstances may occur, and if network access prices rise significantly, then our business and operating results would likely be adversely affected.

Demand for IPTV, and for our content, may be insufficient for us to achieve and sustain profitability.

IPTV is an emerging service. Potential NeuLion IPTV platform customers may be slow to adopt the Internet as a medium through which they distribute their own content, and their and our subscribers may be slow or refuse to adopt IPTV as a preferred method of viewing content. We cannot estimate with any certainty the potential demand for our services or our ability to satisfy that demand. Among other things, acceptance of our services will depend upon:

our ability to develop and introduce new services that offer enhanced performance and functionality, in a timely manner, in response to changing market conditions, customer and subscriber requirements or our competitors’ technological advances;

the cost and availability of technology, such as computer hardware and high-speed Internet connections, that are required to utilize our service;

the marketing and pricing strategies that we employ relative to those of our competitors;

the acceptance of our subscriber management systems;

whether we acquire, market and distribute high-quality programming consistent with subscribers’ tastes; and

the willingness of subscribers to pay pay-per-view or subscription fees to obtain our service.

Our results of operations will depend in part upon our ability and that of our IPTV platform customers to increase our respective subscriber bases while maintaining our preferred pricing structures, managing costs and controlling subscriber turnover rates. If demand does not develop as expected, then we may not be able to generate enough revenue to generate positive cash flow or achieve and sustain profitability.

One of our objectives is to acquire and maintain programming that sustains loyal audiences in or across various demographic groups. The attractiveness of our content offerings and our ability to retain and grow the audiences for our programs will be an important factor in our ability to sell subscriptions and advertising. Our content offerings may not attract or retain the number of subscribers that we anticipate and some content may offend or alienate subscribers that are outside of the target audience for that content. We cannot assure you that our content offerings will enable us to retain our various audiences. If we lose the rights to distribute any specific programming or channels and fail to attract comparable programming with similar audience loyalty, the attractiveness of our service to subscribers or advertisers could decline and our business could be adversely affected.

We may have difficulty, and incur substantial costs, in scaling and adapting our existing systems architecture to accommodate increased traffic, technology advances or customer requirements.

Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to adapt our services to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance and reliability of our services. The IPTV industry and the Internet and the video entertainment industries in general are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. We cannot assure you that one or more of the technologies we use will not become obsolete or that our services will be in demand at the time they are offered. If we or our suppliers are unable to keep pace with technological and industry changes, our business may be unsuccessful.

In the future, we may be required to make changes to our systems architecture or move to a completely new architecture. To the extent that demand for our services, content and other media offerings increases, we will need to expand our infrastructure, including the capacity of our hardware servers and the sophistication of our software. If we are required to switch architectures, we may incur substantial costs and experience delays or interruptions in our service. These delays or interruptions in our service may cause users and customers to become dissatisfied and move to competing providers of IPTV services. An unanticipated loss of traffic, increased costs, inefficiencies or failures to adapt to new technologies or user requirements and the associated adjustments to our systems architecture could harm our operating results and financial condition.

In addition, we intend to introduce new services and/or functionalities to increase our customers’ and our own subscriber bases and long-term profitability, such as targeted advertising insertion and personal video recording. These services are dependent on successful integration of new technologies into our distribution infrastructure

We depend on third parties to develop technologies used in key elements of our IPTV services. More advanced technologies that we may wish to use may not be available to us on reasonable terms or in a timely manner. Further, our competitors may have access to technologies not available to us, which may enable these competitors to offer entertainment products of greater interest to consumers or at more competitive costs.

Our business depends on the continued growth and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure.

The success and the availability of Internet-based products and services depends in part upon the continued growth and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure itself, including its protocols, architecture, network backbone, data capacity and security. Spam, viruses, worms, spyware, denial of service or other attacks by hackers and other acts of malice may affect not only the Internet’s speed, reliability and availability but also its continued desirability as a vehicle for commerce, information and user engagement. If the Internet proves unable to meet the new threats and increased demands placed upon it, our business plans, user and advertiser relationships, site traffic and revenues could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to manage rapidly expanding operations.

We are continuing to grow and diversify our business both domestically and internationally. As a result, we will need to expand and adapt our operational infrastructure. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To manage growth effectively, we must, among other things, continue to develop our internal and external sales forces, our distribution infrastructure capability, our customer service operations and our information systems, maintain our relationships with content partners, effectively enter new areas of the sports, international, entertainment and variety programming markets and effectively manage the demands of day-to-day operations in new areas while attempting to execute our business strategy and realize the projected growth and revenue targets developed by our management. We will also need to continue to expand, train and manage our employee base, and our management must assume even greater levels of responsibility. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, we may experience a decrease in subscriber growth and an increase in subscriber turnover, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, profitability and cash flows.

Acquisitions and strategic investments could adversely affect our operations and result in unanticipated liabilities.

We may in the future acquire or make strategic investments in a number of companies, including through joint ventures. Such transactions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, use of our cash resources, incurrence of debt and amortization of expenses related to intangible assets. Any such acquisitions and strategic investments would be accompanied by a number of risks, including:

the difficulty of assimilating operations and personnel of acquired companies into our operations;

the potential disruption of ongoing business and distraction of management;

additional operating losses and expenses of the businesses acquired or in which we invest;

the difficulty of integrating acquired technology and rights into our services and unanticipated expenses related to such integration;

the potential for patent and trademark infringement claims against the acquired company;

the impairment of relationships with customers and partners of the companies we acquired or with our customers and partners as a result of the integration of acquired operations;

the impairment of relationships with employees of the acquired companies or our employees as a result of integration of new management personnel;

the difficulty of integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resources and other administrative systems;

in the case of foreign acquisitions, uncertainty regarding foreign laws and regulations and difficulty integrating operations and systems as a result of cultural, systems and operational differences; and

the impact of known potential liabilities or unknown liabilities associated with the companies we acquire or in which we invest.

Our failure to address or mitigate such risks in connection with future acquisitions and strategic investments could prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or investments, causing us to incur unanticipated liabilities and harming our business generally.

We could suffer failures or damage due to events that are beyond our control, which could adversely affect our brand and operating results.

Our success as a business depends, in part, on our ability to provide consistently high-quality video streams to our customers’ and to our own subscribers through our distribution infrastructure and IPTV technology on a consistent basis. Our distribution infrastructure is susceptible to natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss and sabotage, as well as interruptions from technology malfunctions, computer viruses and hacker attacks. Other potential service interruptions may result from unanticipated demands on network infrastructure, increased traffic or problems in customer service. Our ability to control technical and customer service issues is further limited by our dependence on our content partners for technical integration of our distribution infrastructure. Significant disruptions in our distribution infrastructure would likely affect the quality and continuity of our service, could harm our goodwill and the NeuLion brand and ultimately could significantly and negatively impact the amount of revenue we may earn from our service. We may not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate for losses that could occur as a result of an interruption in our services.

We depend upon third parties for the provision of programming in connection with our service, including our content partners and other third-party content providers. Any failure by third parties to provide these services could significantly harm our ability to conduct our business. Furthermore, financial difficulties experienced by our third-party providers – such as bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or winding up of daily operations – for any reason whatsoever could also have negative consequences on our business.

Table of Contents

We rely on our partners for our content.

The success of our B2C business depends significantly on our relationships with our content partners. We enter into partner agreements to acquire the Internet distribution rights to sports, international, entertainment and variety content. Our realization of our business goals depends in part on the cooperation, good faith, programming and overall success of our partners in providing marketable content. Because of our dependency on our partners, should a partner’s business suffer as a result of increased competition, increased costs of programming, technological problems, regulatory changes, adverse effects of litigation or other factors, our business may suffer as well.

Furthermore, a failure by one of our partners to perform its obligations under its agreement could have detrimental financial consequences for our business. The agreements are for various terms and have varying provisions regarding renewal or extension. If we are unable to renew or extend these agreements at the conclusion of their respective terms, we may not be able to obtain substitute programming, or substitute programming may not be comparable in quality or cost to the existing programming, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in competitive and evolving markets.

We operate in competitive and evolving markets locally, nationally and globally. These markets are subject to rapid technological change and changes in customer preferences and demand. In seeking market acceptance, we will encounter competition for both subscribers and advertising revenue from many sources, including other IPTV services, direct broadcast satellite television services and digital and traditional cable systems that carry sports and ethnic programming. Traditional cable and satellite television already has a well-established and dominant market presence for its services, and Internet portals, video file-sharing service providers and other third-party providers of video content over the Internet may distribute other content. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. As the IPTV market grows (resulting from higher bandwidths, faster modems and wider programming selections), an increasing number of Internet-based video program offerings will be available to our current and potential customers. In addition, our competitors, in both the traditional satellite and cable television broadcasting and IPTV markets, could exclusively contract with sports, international, entertainment and variety content providers that are not under contract with us, creating significant competition in both the content and IPTV markets. Our revenue could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to compete successfully with traditional and other emerging providers of video programming services.

We may be required to abandon or change business practices in Canada, including the exercise of exclusive distribution rights, if the regulator deems them to be unduly preferential.

Many of our content partner agreements give us the exclusive Internet distribution rights to the related content and channels. In Canada, the CRTC conditions its exemption of Internet-based “new media” from licensing and Canadian ownership and control requirements on compliance with an anti-discrimination rule prohibiting the exercise of an “undue preference.” The CRTC is currently considering the scope of this rule. If the CRTC decides that certain of our business practices, including the exercise of exclusive Internet distribution rights, are not consistent with this rule, then such decision could harm our business by allowing subscribers to obtain this content or these channels from other providers. If this content or these channels are offered elsewhere on the Internet on more attractive terms, we could lose these subscribers, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may cease to be exempted from the requirements of the Broadcasting Act (Canada).

We rely on the CRTC’s 2009 New Media Exemption Order, which exempts Internet-based “new media” from Canadian licensing and Canadian ownership and control requirements. Such exemption allows us to attract and serve Canadian subscribers without being subject to such requirements. The CRTC’s exemption decision is subject to review within five years or such other time as the CRTC deems appropriate. If the CRTC decides, upon review, to rescind or roll back its New Media Exemption Order, we could become subject to requirements of the Broadcasting Act (Canada) that would materially adversely affect our ability to conduct business in Canada.

Table of Contents

There is uncertainty relating to our ability to enforce our rights under our channel and content partner agreements.

Many of our channel and content partner agreements for ethnic programming are with foreign entities and are governed by the laws of foreign jurisdictions. If a partner breaches an agreement with us, then we will incur the additional costs of determining our rights and obligations under the agreement under applicable foreign laws and enforcing the agreement in a foreign jurisdiction. Many of the jurisdictions to which our partner agreements are subject do not have sophisticated and/or impartial legal systems and we may face practical difficulties in enforcing any of our rights in such jurisdictions. We may not be able to enforce such rights or may determine that it would be too costly to enforce such rights. In addition, many of our partner agreements contain arbitration provisions that govern disputes under the agreements and there is uncertainty with respect to the enforceability of such arbitration provisions under the laws of related foreign jurisdictions. If a dispute were to arise under an agreement and the related arbitration provision were not enforceable, then we would be exposed to the additional costs of settling the dispute through traditional legal avenues rather than through an arbitration process.

Our business may be impaired by third-party intellectual property rights in the programming content of our channel and content partners.

We are exposed to liability risk in respect of the content that we redistribute over the Internet, relating to both infringement of third-party rights to the content and infringement of the laws of various jurisdictions governing the type and/or nature of the content. We rely in large part on our content partners’ obligations under our partner agreements to ensure intellectual property rights compliance globally, including securing the primary rights to redistribute programming and other content over the Internet, and to advise us of any potential or actual infringement so that we may take appropriate action if such content is not intellectual property rights-compliant or is otherwise obscene, defamatory or indecent.

There is a risk that our partners will not advise us in time, or at all, in respect of such content, and expose us to liability for our redistribution of such content over the Internet. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that our partners have successfully licensed all relevant programming components that are necessary for Internet redistribution. Other parties may claim certain intellectual property rights in the content that we license from our partners. For example, our partners may not have sufficient rights in the underlying content to license distribution rights to their content to us, or a given partner may not identify programming that we are not permitted to distribute in time for us to stop distribution of the offending programming. In addition, as the IPTV market grows, advertisers may begin to attempt to enforce intellectual property rights in advertisements included in our partners’ programming, and we may inadvertently infringe the intellectual property rights of such advertisers by distributing such advertisements over the Internet or by inserting our own advertising in replacement of such advertisements.

In the event that our partners are in breach of the distribution rights related to specific programming and other content, we may be required to cease distributing or marketing the relevant content to prevent any infringement of related rights, and may be subject to claims of damages for infringement of such rights. We may also be required to file a claim against a given partner if the distribution rights related to specific programming are breached, and we cannot assure you that we would be successful in any such claim. Any alleged liability could harm our business by damaging our reputation, requiring us to incur legal costs in defense of any such claim, and exposing us to significant awards of damages and costs and diverting management’s attention, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be subject to other third-party intellectual property rights claims.

Companies in the Internet, technology and media industries often own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we face increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us grows. Our technologies may not be able to withstand third-party claims or rights against their use. Intellectual property claims, whether having merit or otherwise, could be time consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention. In addition, many of our agreements with network service providers require us to indemnify these providers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase our costs as a result of defending such claims and may require that we pay the network service providers’ damages if there were an adverse ruling in any such claims.

Table of Contents

If litigation is successfully brought by a third party against us in respect of intellectual property, we may be required to cease distributing or marketing certain products or services, obtain licenses from the holders of the intellectual property at material cost, redesign affected products in such a way as to avoid infringing intellectual property rights or seek alternative licenses from other third parties which may offer inferior programming, any or all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If those intellectual property rights are held by a competitor, we may be unable to obtain the intellectual property at any price, which could also adversely affect our competitive position. Any of these results could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not have exclusive Internet distribution rights to all of our content and the cost of renewing such rights or obtaining such rights for new content may be higher than expected.

Many of our content partner agreements give us the exclusive Internet distribution rights to the related content and channels. However, if this content or these channels were not exclusive and were offered elsewhere on the Internet on more attractive terms, we could lose a portion of our subscribers, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We must negotiate with potential partners to acquire the Internet distribution rights for our programming. In addition, we will need to renew our agreements with existing partners. We anticipate that, as the IPTV market grows, license fees relating to Internet distribution rights for programming (including sports and ethnic programming), or for the rights to substitute advertising into the live video streamers of the content, will increase. License fees payable under the partner agreements may be significantly more costly to renew than anticipated.

In addition, some of the existing partner agreements that give us exclusive Internet distribution rights have renewal mechanisms that are tied to our ability to generate specified revenue share amounts or specified subscriber numbers in respect of particular channels. If we are unable to meet these targets, then we may have to renegotiate the agreements when they come up for renewal or may lose one or more of our exclusive licenses. Renegotiated license fees may be more expensive than anticipated. We may be unable to obtain our programming consistently at a cost that is reasonable or appealing to our customers, which may adversely affect our marketing efforts, reputation, brand and revenue.

Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet by us and our users at non-discriminatory prices. Internet access providers and Internet backbone providers may be able to block, limit, degrade or charge for access to certain of our products and services, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of users.

Our products and services depend on the ability of our users to access the Internet, and certain of our products require significant bandwidth to work effectively. Currently, this access is provided by companies that have significant and increasing market power in the broadband and Internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies and mobile communications companies. Some of these providers have stated that they may take measures that could degrade, disrupt or increase the cost of user access by restricting or prohibiting the use of their infrastructure to support or facilitate offerings, or by charging increased fees to provide offerings, while others, including some of the largest providers of broadband Internet access services, have committed to not engaging in such behavior.

The ability of the FCC to regulate broadband Internet access services was called into question by an April 2010 ruling of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The FCC has proposed new rules regulating broadband Internet access, but these rules are being challenged, the jurisdiction of the FCC remains at issue, and various bills have been introduced before the United States Congress. While interference with access to our products and services seems unlikely, such interference has occurred in limited circumstances, and future actions by broadband Internet access providers, the FCC or Congress could result in limitations on access to our services, a loss of existing users, or increased costs to us, our users or our customers, thereby impairing our ability to attract new users, or limiting our opportunities and models for revenue and growth.

Internet transmissions may be subject to theft and malicious attacks, which could cause us to lose subscribers and revenue.

Like all Internet transmissions, our streaming content may be subject to interception and malicious attack. Pirates may be able to obtain or redistribute our programs without paying fees to us. Our distribution infrastructure is exposed to spam, viruses, worms, spyware, denial of service or other attacks by hackers and other acts of malice. Theft of our content or attacks on our distribution infrastructure would reduce future potential revenue and increase our net subscriber acquisition costs.

If our security technology is compromised, it could adversely affect our ability to contract for licenses to distribute content over the Internet. We use security measures intended to make theft of our content more difficult. However, if we are required to upgrade or replace existing security technology, the cost of such security upgrades or replacements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, profitability and cash flows. In addition, other illegal methods that compromise Internet transmissions may be developed in the future. If we cannot control compromises of our service, then our revenue, net subscriber acquisition costs, subscriber turnover and ability to contract for licenses to distribute content over the Internet could be materially adversely affected.

Privacy concerns relating to elements of our service could damage our reputation and deter current and potential users from using our products and services.

From time to time, concerns may be expressed about whether our products and services compromise the privacy of users and others. Concerns about our collection, use or sharing of personal information or other privacy-related matters, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and result in a loss of user confidence and ultimately in a loss of users, partners or advertisers, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We depend on key personnel and relationships, and the loss of their services or the inability to attract and retain them may negatively impact our business.

We are dependent on key members of our senior management. In addition, innovation is important to our success, and we depend on the continued efforts of our executive officers and key employees, who have specialized technical knowledge regarding our distribution infrastructure and information technology systems and significant business knowledge regarding the IPTV industry and subscription services. The market for the services of qualified personnel is competitive and we may not be able to attract and retain key employees. If we lose the services of one or more of our executive officers or key employees, or fail to attract qualified replacement personnel, then our business and future prospects could be materially adversely affected.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities.

We are subject to income and other taxes in a variety of jurisdictions, and our tax structure is subject to review by both domestic and foreign taxation authorities. The determination of our world-wide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment and, in the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded on our consolidated financial statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made.

We are subject to foreign business, political and economic disruption risks.

We contract with various entities around the world, including in respect of the acquisition of rights to distribute content via the Internet. As a result, we are exposed to foreign business, political and economic risks, including:

difficulties in managing partner relationships from outside of a given partner’s jurisdiction;

political and economic instability;

less developed infrastructures in newly industrializing countries;

Table of Contents

susceptibility to interruption of channel feeds in foreign areas due to war, terrorist attacks, medical epidemics, changes in political regimes and general interest rate and currency instability;

exposure to possible litigation or claims in foreign jurisdictions; and

competition from foreign-based IPTV providers and the existence of protectionist laws and business practices that favor such providers.

If any of these risks are realized, it could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the TransVideo acquisition.

On October 1, 2010, we completed our acquisition of TransVideo, which prior to the acquisition was a third-party supplier to us of STBs. We entered into the acquisition with the expectation that, if consummated, it would provide us with greater control over the future development of TransVideo’s STBs and also afford us substantial opportunities for marketing our IPTV services in China due to TransVideo’s existing relationships in that geographic region. A variety of factors may adversely affect our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of this acquisition, including our ability to successfully integrate TransVideo’s operations and employees with ours, to realize cost savings by controlling the production of STBs, and to leverage TransVideo’s relationships in China due to regulatory restrictions and other circumstances beyond our control.

TransVideo may have undisclosed material liabilities.

In connection with the acquisition of TransVideo, we performed a due diligence investigation of that company’s assets and liabilities. There may be liabilities that we failed or were unable to discover in our due diligence, and we may not be indemnified for some or all of these liabilities. The discovery of any material liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have paid no dividends on our common stock since our inception. At the present time, we intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. The payment of dividends in the future will depend on our earnings and financial condition and on such other factors as the Board of Directors may consider appropriate.

The Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) sets out when a company is restricted from declaring or paying dividends. Under Section 170 of the DGCL, a company may not declare or pay a dividend out of net profits if the capital of the company is less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets until the deficiency in the amount of such capital has been repaired.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The following sets forth information regarding securities sold by us but not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, and that were not reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC during that period:

1. On December 20, 2010, we issued shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act to non-management directors in payment pursuant to our Directors’ Compensation Plan of their semi-annual directors’ fees for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 in the following aggregate amounts:

John R. Anderson	30,319
Gabriel A. Battista	22,340
Shirley Strum Kenny	47,872

Total	198,404

The aggregate value of the 198,404 shares of common stock issued to Dr. Kenny and Messrs. Anderson, Battista, Kronfeld and Wang was $93,250 on the date of issuance. We issued these shares of common stock pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. This issuance qualified for exemption from registration under the Securities Act because (i) each of the directors was an accredited investor at the time of the issuance, (ii) we did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising in connection with the issuance, and (iii) each of the directors received restricted securities.

2. Between October 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, we issued 640 shares of common stock to a former consultant upon vesting of certain restricted share units issued pursuant to our Restricted Share Plan. The aggregate value attributable to such shares of common stock was $302. We issued the shares of common stock to the former consultant residing within the United States in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Rule 701 promulgated thereunder.

To achieve these objectives, we intend to grow our business with our existing customer base as well as enter into agreements with new customers.

Key Developments in Fiscal 2010

On September 29, 2010, we completed a private placement of $10.0 million of Class 3 Preference Shares (the “Class 3 Preference Shares”) priced at CDN$0.60 per share. The private placement was made to JK&B Capital V, L.P., to JK&B Special Opportunities Fund, L.P., an entity in which Mr. Wang, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, holds an ownership interest, and to a trust affiliated with Mr. Battista, another director of the Company. Mr. Kronfeld, another director of the Company, holds ownership interests in both JK&B entities. The Class 3 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 Certificate of Incorporation. The proceeds of the private placement are being used for general working capital purposes.

On October 1, 2010, we consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of TransVideo International Ltd.

We received a letter of satisfaction from the Director under the Canada Business Corporations Act for the continuance of the Company out of the laws of Canada and on November 30, 2010 received approval from the State of Delaware for the domestication of the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware and Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). The purpose of the Domestication was to change our jurisdiction of incorporation from Canada to Delaware. Additionally, at the time of the Domestication, we changed the number of authorized shares of common stock from unlimited to 300 million, changed the common stock from no par value to $0.01 par value per share and changed the authorized preferred stock from 17.2 million shares to 50 million shares, in the process eliminating the Class 1 Preference Shares and Class 2 Preference Shares. As a result, we retroactively restated prior periods as if the change in par value was effective for all periods presented.

Overall Performance

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 (acquisition consummated on October 31, 2009) and TransVideo (acquisition consummated October 1, 2010). 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 acquisitions of INSINC and TransVideo.

Highlights

Services Revenue, which is our recurring revenue stream, increased by $5.0 million, or 19.0%, as compared to the prior year.

Cost of Services Revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, remained constant at $12.8 million as compared to the prior year.

Overview

Revenue for fiscal 2010 was $33.2 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 18.1%, from $28.1 million in fiscal 2009. The revenue growth of $5.1 million was due to the following:

organic growth of $2.3 million;

increase in revenue from INSINC of $2.3 million; and

revenue from TransVideo of $0.5 million.

The organic revenue growth of $2.3 million was due to an increase in our services revenue of $2.5 million offset by a decrease in our equipment revenue of $0.2 million.

Our net loss attributable to common stockholders for fiscal 2010 was $17.5 million, or a loss of $0.14 per basic and diluted share of common stock, compared with a net loss of $19.6 million, or a loss of $0.18 per basic and diluted share of common stock, in fiscal 2009. The decrease in net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.1 million, or 10.7%, was due to the following:

an increase in total revenue of $5.1 million; and

an unrealized gain on derivative of $1.4 million in fiscal 2010 as compared to an $0.8 million loss on derivative in fiscal 2009 (non-cash item),

offset by the following:

an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation of $2.2 million;

an increase in stock-based compensation of $1.2 million (non-cash item);

an increase in depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million (non-cash item);

a decrease in investment income of $0.2 million;

a nominal foreign exchange loss in fiscal 2010 as compared to a foreign exchange gain in fiscal 2009 of $0.1 million; and

an adjustment to the carrying amount of redeemable preferred stock of $0.4 million in fiscal 2010.

Our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss (as defined below) was $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The improvement in non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was due to the impact of the items noted in the 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, non-controlling interests 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 $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $31.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $5.0 million increase was due to organic growth of $2.6 million, an increase in revenue from INSINC of $2.3 million and revenue from TransVideo of $0.1 million. The organic growth of $2.6 million was a result of $1.0 million of revenue from new customers coupled with $1.6 million from existing customers.

Subscriber revenue increased from $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $20.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $2.3 million increase was due to organic growth of $1.7 million, an increase in subscriber revenue from INSINC of $0.5 million and revenue from TransVideo of $0.1 million. The organic growth of $1.7 million was a result of $0.7 million of revenue from new customers coupled with $1.0 million from existing customers.

eCommerce revenue increased from $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $0.3 million increase was due to an increase in advertising revenue.

Technology revenue increased from $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $2.4 million increase was due to organic growth of $0.6 million and an increase in technology revenue from INSINC of $1.8 million.

Equipment revenue

Equipment revenue increased from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of services revenue

Cost of services revenue was $12.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. Cost of services revenue as a percentage of services revenue decreased from 49% for the year ended December 31, 2009 to 41% for the year ended December 31, 2010. The 8% improvement (as a percentage of services revenue) primarily relates to negotiated lower rates on bandwidth costs.

Cost of equipment revenue

Cost of equipment revenue increased from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, due to the increase in equipment revenue.

Selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation

Selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation, increased from $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $32.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The total increase of $3.3 million was due to an organic increase of $1.0 million, an increase from INSINC of $1.8 million and an increase of $0.5 million from TransVideo. The individual variances are as follows:

Wages and benefits increased from $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Wages and benefits for INSINC increased by $1.0 million and were $0.3 million for TransVideo. The organic decrease of $0.6 million was due to a decrease in employees.

Stock-based compensation expense increased from $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily due to the modification of 5 million incentive warrants. On June 15, 2010, our stockholders approved a resolution to extend the expiry date of 5 million incentive warrants from October 20, 2010 to October 20, 2013. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recorded an expense of $1.1 million as a result of this modification.

Table of Contents

Marketing expenses decreased from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $0.2 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in online marketing.

Professional fees increased from $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $0.5 million increase primarily represents legal fees and valuation services provided in connection with the acquisition of TransVideo.

Other SG&A expenses increased from $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $1.1 million increase was primarily due to a $0.6 million reserve for a receivable and an increase in other SG&A expenses relating to INSINC of $0.3 million. TransVideo comprised $0.1 million of the total other SG&A expenses increase for the year.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased from $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $1.0 million increase was due to the amortization of INSINC’s and TransVideo’s acquired fixed and intangible assets.

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative improved from a loss of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to a gain of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 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. Accordingly, 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, a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $0.6 million and an adjustment of $1.9 million was made to opening accumulated deficit. These warrants expired on October 20, 2010. The difference between the fair value at December 31, 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 were recorded at their relative fair values at issuance, determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Any change in value between reporting periods was recorded as other income (expense).

Our cash position was $12.9 million at December 31, 2009 and 2010. We used $8.1 million to fund operations, which included working capital changes of $2.9 million. Additionally, we received $9.8 million (net) in a private placement, spent $1.9 million to purchase fixed assets and received $0.2 million in cash from the acquisition of TransVideo.

As of December 31, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $12.9 million and trade accounts receivable of $2.4 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 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 Class 3 Preference Shares on September 29, 2010; we are using these funds for general working capital purposes. 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 December 31, 2010, approximately 73% of our cash and cash equivalents were held in accounts with a U.S. bank that received an A- rating from Standard and Poor’s and an A2 rating from 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. 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 as currently operated is still in its early stages, with only a few years of operating history. In 2006, our business model evolved from providing professional information technology services and international programming to providing end-to-end IPTV services for a wide range of professional and collegiate sports properties, entertainment networks and international clients. From our inception, we have incurred substantial net losses and have an accumulated deficit of $61.0 million; management expects these losses to continue in the short term. We continue to review our operating structure to maximize revenue opportunities, 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 this Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 1A, “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 December 31, 2010 was $1.4 million, an increase of $0.4 million from the December 31, 2009 net working capital of $1.0 million. Included in current liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are approximately $6.4 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 December 31, 2010 and 2009 were 1.72 and 1.54, respectively.

The change in working capital was primarily due to an increase in current assets and current liabilities of $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Current assets at December 31, 2010 were $18.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $17.8 million. The increase was due to a $1.0 million increase in amounts due from related parties, of which $0.8 million represented part of the acquisition of TransVideo.

Current liabilities at December 31, 2010 were $17.4 million, an increase of $0.6 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $16.8 million. The change was due to an increase in deferred revenue of $2.6 million, offset by a decrease in our derivative liability of $1.4, a decrease in amounts due to related parties of $0.3 million and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.3 million.

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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which 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 date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure they appropriately reflect changes in our business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably predict future actual results, our consolidated financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Business combinations

We allocate the purchase price to tangible assets and intangible assets based on fair values, with the excess of the purchase price being allocated to goodwill.

Our acquisition of TransVideo in 2010 resulted in the allocation of a portion of the purchase price to acquired intangible assets. In order to determine the fair value of these intangible assets, we make estimates and judgments based on assumptions about the future expected cash flows. We also make estimates about the useful lives of those acquired intangible assets. Should different conditions prevail, we could record write-downs of intangible assets or changes in the estimates of useful lives of those intangible assets, which would result in changes to amortization expense.

Accounts receivable

We maintain a provision for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $60,555 and $129,550, respectively.

Inventory

We evaluate our ending inventories for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels and projections of future demand within specific time horizons. Inventories in excess of future demand are reserved. In addition, we assess the impact of changing technology and market conditions on our inventory on hand and write off inventories that are considered obsolete.

Property, plant and equipment

We review the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property, plant and equipment is used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Intangible assets

We review the carrying value of our definite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the intangible assets are used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level and between annual tests if changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each calendar year. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company’s impairment test was based on its single operating segment and reporting unit structure. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no impairment loss.

Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments

We account for all stock options and warrants using a fair value-based method. The fair value of each stock option and warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options and retention warrants granted to employees is measured at the date of the grant. The fair value of the warrants granted to non-employees is measured as the warrants vest.

Stock appreciation rights give the holder the right to elect one of three options: receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the quoted market price over the stock appreciation right price; receive common stock in an amount equal to the fair value of the common stock less the exercise price divided by the market value of the common stock from treasury; or receive common stock by making a cash payment equal to the exercise price. Our Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept or reject a cash payment request in whole or in part. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated as the fair value of the vested portion of the stock appreciation rights outstanding, with ongoing measurement of the outstanding liability at each reporting date. The liability is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. If the holder elects to purchase common stock, the liability is credited to additional paid-in capital.

Restricted share units give the holder the right to one share of common stock for each vested restricted share unit. These awards vest on a monthly basis over a four-year vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted share units is recorded based on the market value of the common stock when the common stock is issued, which generally coincides with the vesting period of these awards.

Restricted stock gives the holder the right to one share of common stock for each vested restricted stock. These awards vest on a yearly basis over a four-year vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date and recognized over the vesting period of these awards.

Amortization Policies and Useful Lives

We amortize the cost of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets over the estimated useful service lives of these items. The determinations of estimated useful lives of these long-lived assets involve considerable judgment. In determining these estimates, we take into account industry trends and Company-specific factors including changing technologies and expectations for the in-service period of these assets. On an annual basis, we reassess our existing estimates of useful lives to ensure they match the anticipated life of the technology from a revenue producing perspective. If technological change happens more quickly than anticipated, we might have to shorten our estimate of the useful life of certain equipment, which could result in higher amortization expense in future periods or an impairment charge to write down the value of this equipment.

Taxes

We have tax loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of $76.6 million as of December 31, 2010 that expire between the tax years 2011 and 2030 and have not been fully audited by relevant authorities. We have not recorded a financial statement benefit for these attributes as we have no history of profitability. To the extent we use tax loss carryforwards subsequent to 2010, we expect to record the benefit as a reduction in income tax expense.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 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. While we are continuing its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, management does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

We had a total of 139,180,279 shares of common stock outstanding at March 15, 2011. In addition, at such date we had outstanding, in the aggregate, 43,484,716 Class 3 Preference Shares, options, stock appreciation rights, restricted share units, warrants, retention warrants and restricted stock, each of which is exchangeable for one share of common stock upon exercise or conversion.

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 Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Management evaluates the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, and concluded that it is effective.

We acquired TransVideo during the year ended December 31, 2010, and the acquisition is reflected in our 2010 consolidated financial statements. TransVideo’s assets constituted 7% of our total assets as of December 31, 2010, and 1% of our consolidated revenues and 2% of our consolidated net loss attributable to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2010 are attributable to TransVideo. We have excluded TransVideo from our annual assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of as of December 31, 2010, no change in our internal control over financial reporting has been identified that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

NeuLion, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NeuLion, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NeuLion, Inc. at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted)

December 31, 2010

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”. The notes to these consolidated financial statements reflect the name changes described above as they are effective as of the date of these financial statements.

On September 29, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of $10.0 million of Class 3 Preference Shares (the "Class 3 Preference Shares") priced at CDN$0.60 per share. The private placement was made to JK&B Capital V, L.P., JK&B Special Opportunities Fund, L.P., an entity in which Charles B. Wang, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, holds an ownership interest, and to a trust affiliated with Gabriel A. Battista, another director of the Company. David Kronfeld, another director of the Company, holds ownership interests in both JK&B entities. The Class 3 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 Certificate of Incorporation. The proceeds of the private placement are being used for general working capital purposes. (note 9)

On October 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of TransVideo International Ltd. (“TransVideo”) in exchange for 22,000,802 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $8,515,641. TransVideo’s passive investment in KyLinTV, Inc. (“KyLinTV”), an IPTV company, was not included as part of the transaction. TransVideo is a public Internet-based IPTV technology and solution provider headquartered in Beijing, China. It develops proprietary hardware designs and software for encoders and transcoders, IPTV STBs, digital media storage boxes, public IPTV media servers, signal transfer and monitoring equipment and software that acts as a public IPTV player. TransVideo was, and KyLinTV is, controlled by Mr. Wang. (note 3(i))

The Company received a letter of satisfaction from the Director under the Canada Business Corporations Act for the continuance of the Company out of the laws of Canada and on November 30, 2010 received approval from the State of Delaware for the domestication of the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware and Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). The purpose of the Domestication was to change the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation from Canada to Delaware. Additionally, at the time of the Domestication, the Company changed the number of authorized shares of common stock from unlimited to 300 million, changed the common stock from no par value to $0.01 par value per share and changed the authorized preferred stock from 17.2 million shares to 50 million shares, in the process eliminating the Class 1 Preference Shares and Class 2 Preference Shares. As a result, the Company retroactively restated prior periods as if the change in par value was effective for all periods presented.

The Company is a leading IPTV company that provides a comprehensive suite of technology and digital services. “IPTV” refers to the distribution of streamed audio, video and other multimedia content over a broadband network. Through IPTV, the Company builds and manages private networks for its customers that are used to deliver live and on-demand sports, international, entertainment and variety programming to subscribers and pay-per-view customers. The Company also offers its customers a complete web platform that includes e-commerce tools, ticketing solutions and hosting services. In addition, the Company streams international programming via proprietary websites targeted to specific communities. The Company’s core business objective is to enter into agreements with companies seeking to reach target audiences through their own private networks and to provide them with complete IPTV services. These companies in turn are able to use the Company’s services to reach more consumers and to grow their brands and revenues. The Company also acquires the rights to certain international content from television broadcasters, which is then streamed to end users through the Company’s proprietary networks.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). As at December 31, 2010, the Company had a 12.2% equity interest in KyLinTV (2009 – 17.1%). This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, inventory obsolescence, assumptions used in stock-based compensation and the allowance for doubtful accounts. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure they appropriately reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future actual results, the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, prices are determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and the goods or services have been delivered. If any of these criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until such time as all of the criteria are met.

For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to each element using the residual method; this allocation is based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of the undelivered items. VSOE is based on the price that the Company charges for the undelivered element based on the sales price of each element when sold on a standalone basis. In addition, the Company defers the portion of the arrangement fee equal to the fair value of the undelivered elements until they are delivered.

The Company, at the request of one customer, has entered into a “bill and hold” arrangement. The Company accounts for its bill and hold revenue arrangement 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 subject to fulfilling other orders. Inventory consists of finished goods. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $586,500 and $0 in revenue associated with this arrangement, respectively.

The Company earns revenue as follows:

(i) Services Revenue:

Subscriber revenue

Subscriber revenue consists of recurring revenue based on subscriber usage, bandwidth usage fees for the Company infrastructure and/or technology usage fees based on the number of subscribers. The subscriber revenue is typically generated on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and can be either a fixed fee per user or a variable fee measured by bandwidth use or as a percentage of end user pricing. Revenue is recognized over the term of the subscription. The Company defers the appropriate portion of cash received for which services have not yet been rendered and recognizes the revenue over the term of the subscription, which is generally between thirty days and one year. Pay-per-view revenues are deferred and recognized in the period when the content is viewed.

eCommerce revenue

eCommerce revenue consists of services provided by the Company to its content providers, which include software applications for merchandising (e.g. sale of merchandise), ticketing for a content provider’s events and management of a content provider’s donor efforts. Included in eCommerce revenue is advertising revenue earned through the insertion of advertising impressions on websites and in streaming video at a cost per thousand impressions. Advertising revenue is recognized based on the number of impressions displayed (“served”) during the period. Deferred revenue for eCommerce represents the timing difference between collection of advertising revenue and when the advertisements are served, which is typically between thirty and ninety days.

Technology revenue

Technology revenue consists of the setup and maintenance services the Company provides such as website (Internet) or console (STB) design, user interface optimization and streaming configuration. Included in technology revenue is the licensing of the technology required to convert, compress and transmit video signals to the Company’s content distribution network and ultimately to end users. Revenue is recognized as the service is performed. Deferred revenue on technology fees is as follows:

(a) Setup fees are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized over the term of the arrangement, which is generally one to five years.

(b) Maintenance fees are deferred at the beginning of the maintenance period and are recognized over the term of the maintenance service, which is generally one year.

(c) Licensing fees for software are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized over the term of the arrangement, which is generally one to five years.

(ii) Equipment Revenue

Equipment revenue consists of the sale of STBs to content partners and/or end users to enable the end user to receive the content over the Internet and display the signal on a standard television. Shipping charges are included in total equipment revenue. Revenue is recognized generally upon shipment to the customer. The customer does not have any right of return on STBs.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments, such as money market funds, that have maturities of less than three months.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount. The Company maintains a provision for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial conditions of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $60,555 and $129,550, respectively.

Inventory

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates its ending inventories for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels and projections of future demand within specific time horizons. Inventories in excess of future demand are reserved. In addition, the Company assesses the impact of changing technology and market conditions on its inventory-on-hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The cost of assets sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:

Computer hardware	5 years
Computer software	3 years
Furniture and fixtures	7 years
Vehicles	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of useful life and lease term

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property, plant and equipment is used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less amortization. Cost for intangible assets acquired through business combinations represents their fair market value at the date of acquisition. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets which are as follows:

Customer relationships	5-7 years
Completed technology	5 years
Trademarks	1 year

The Company reviews the carrying value of its definite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the intangible assets are used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level and between annual tests if changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each calendar year. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company’s impairment test was based on its single operating segment and reporting unit structure. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no impairment loss.

Investment in affiliate

Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee’s board of directors and voting rights. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee's accounts are not reflected within the Company's consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive loss; however, the Company's share of the losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity in loss of affiliate”, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment was reduced to zero at December 31, 2008. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

Deferred transcoder costs

Deferred transcoder costs, included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, represent the unamortized costs of licensing fees incurred in connection with the set-up of new channels for NeuLion's customers. These costs are recognized as a charge to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss consistent with the related revenue over the remaining initial term of the contract between NeuLion and each customer, which typically ranges from three to five years.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions on ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes Recognition” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.

ASC 740 requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax effect is recognized at the largest amount of the benefit that has greater than a fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance for classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. ASC 740 requires that a liability created for unrecognized tax benefits be presented as a separate liability and not combined with deferred tax liabilities or assets.

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted)

December 31, 2010

The Company operates in a number of countries worldwide. Its income tax liability is therefore a consolidation of its tax liabilities in various locations. Its tax rate is affected by the profitability of its operations in various locations, the tax rates and taxation systems of the countries in which the Company operates, its tax policies and the impact of certain tax planning strategies which have been implemented.

To determine its worldwide tax liability, the Company makes estimates of possible tax liabilities. Tax filings, positions and strategies are subject to review under local or international tax audit and the outcomes of such reviews are uncertain. In addition, these audits generally take place years after the period in which the tax provision in question was provided and it may take a substantial amount of time before the final outcome of any audit is known. Future tax audits could differ materially from the amounts recorded in our financial statements.

A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has recorded substantial tax losses over the years: therefore, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against all net deferred tax assets.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and non-monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates in effect on the date of each transaction. These transactional foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, due from/to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. The carrying amount of such instruments approximates their fair values principally due to the short term nature of these items. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.

With respect to accounts receivable, the Company is exposed to credit risk arising from the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations to the Company. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations on its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that corresponds with the specific credit risk of its customers, historical trends and economic circumstances.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $918,228 and $1,138,400 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments

The Company accounts for all stock options and warrants using a fair value-based method. The fair value of each stock option and warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options and retention warrants granted to employees is measured at the date of the grant. The fair value of the warrants granted to non-employees is measured as the warrants vest.

Stock appreciation rights give the holder the right to elect one of three options: receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the quoted market price over the stock appreciation right price; or receive common stock in an amount equal to the fair value of the common stock less the exercise price divided by the market value of the common stock from treasury; or receive common stock by making a cash payment equal to the exercise price. The Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept or reject a cash payment request in whole or in part. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated as the fair value of the vested portion of the stock appreciation rights outstanding, with ongoing measurement of the outstanding liability at each reporting date. The liability is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. If the holder elects to purchase common stock, the liability is credited to additional paid-in capital.

Restricted share units give the holder the right to one share of common stock for each vested restricted share plan unit. These awards vest on a monthly basis over a four-year vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted share units is recorded based on the market value of the common stock when the common stock is issued, which generally coincides with the vesting period of these awards.

Restricted stock gives the holder the right to one common stock for each vested restricted stock. These awards vest on a yearly basis over a four-year vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date and recognized over the vesting period of these awards.

Recently issued accounting standards

In October 2009, the FASB 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, or January 1, 2011 for the Company. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. While the Company is continuing its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, management does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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. 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. As previously discussed, the Company also provides and charges KyLinTV for administrative and general corporate support.

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.

8. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan to provide retirement and incidental benefits to its eligible employees. Employees may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation through salary reduction, subject to certain qualifications and Internal Revenue Code limitations. The Company provides for voluntary matching contributions up to certain limits. Matching contributions vest over five years.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company made aggregate net matching contributions of $392,090 and $436,716, respectively.

9. Redeemable Preferred Stock

The Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 17,176,818 shares have been designated as Class 3 Preference Shares. On September 29, 2010, the Company issued the 17,176,818 Class 3 Preference Shares, at a price of CDN$0.60 per share in a private offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000. Expenses related to the share issuance were $245,662. The principal terms of the Class 3 Preference Shares are as follows:

December 31, 2010

Voting rights – The Class 3 Preference Shares have voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company’s common stock.

Dividend rights – The Class 3 Preference Shares carry a fixed cumulative dividend, as and when declared by our Board of Directors, of 8% per annum, accrued daily, compounded annually and payable in cash upon a liquidation event for up to five years, as well as the right to receive any dividends paid to holders of common stock.

Conversion rights – The holders of the Class 3 Preference Shares have the right to convert any or all of their Class 3 Preference Shares, at the option of the holder, at any time, into common stock on a one for one basis. In addition, the Class 3 Preference Shares will automatically be converted into common stock in the event that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class 3 Preference Shares consent to such conversion. In the event of conversion to common stock, accrued but unpaid dividends shall be paid in cash and shall not increase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion.

Redemption rights – At any time after five years from the date of issuance, the holders of a majority of the Class 3 Preference Shares may elect to have the Company redeem the Class 3 Preference Shares for an amount equal to CDN$0.60 per Class 3 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 Class 3 Preference Shares for an amount equal to CDN$0.60 per Class 3 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 Class 3 Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) of all Class 3 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 Class 3 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 Class 3 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 Class 3 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 Class 3 Preference Shares may demand redemption at any time after five years from the date of issue. As the redemption amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Company re-measures the redeemable preferred stock amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet each period, based on prevailing exchange rates. The resulting adjustment, along with the accretion of the issuance costs, is recorded in stockholders’ equity.

(i) Second Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”)

The Plan applies to all grants of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any entity controlled by the Company. The exercise price for any new option granted under the Plan is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock prior to the grant date. If the option is granted on a pre-determined basis the exercise price is determined using the five-day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange prior to the date of grant. In all cases the exercise price is not less than fair market value. Options are exercisable during a period established at the time of their grant provided that such period will expire no later than five years after the date of grant, subject to early termination of the option in the event the holder of the option dies or ceases to be a director, officer or employee of the Company or ceases to provide ongoing management or consulting services to the Company or entity controlled by the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan is equal to the greater of (i) 4,000,000 shares of common stock; and (ii) 12.5% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

(v) 2006 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (“SARS Plan”)

The maximum number of units that can be granted under the SARS Plan is equivalent to the greater of (i) 4,150,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 5% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The exercise price shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant but in no event shall the exercise price be lower than the market price of the common stock at the time of the grant. Each unit granted under the SARS Plan has a maximum life of five years from the date of the grant. The SARS Plan provides the holder the right to settle the award as follows:

(1)

Receive cash compensation less the exercise price or to purchase or receive an equivalent number of shares of common stock, less the exercise price;

(2)

In lieu of receiving a cash settlement, the holder can elect to receive a number of shares of common stock from treasury equal to the fair value of the common stock less the exercise price, divided by the market value of the common stock; or

(3)

Elect to pay the Company the exercise price and receive shares of common stock from treasury equal to the number of stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) granted under the SARS Plan.

The Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept or reject a cash payment request in whole or in part.

Non-management directors of the Company receive a minimum 50% of their retainers and fees in the form of common stock and may elect to receive a greater portion of their retainers and fees in common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to non-management directors is determined by dividing the dollar value of the retainers and fees by the closing price of the common stock on the relevant payment date.

12. Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the year by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding, and excludes the effect of potential common stock, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the losses recorded by the Company.

The following table summarizes the potential common stock that was outstanding as at December 31, 2010 and 2009 but was not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. See notes 9 and 11 for additional details.

16. Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income and other taxes in a variety of jurisdictions, including the U.S., Canada, and various state jurisdictions. A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the U.S. and Canadian statutory rate to the Company's effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is shown below. As discussed in Note 1, the Company completed the Domestication on November 30, 2010. Therefore, the statutory rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 represents the U.S. rate and the statutory rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 represents the Canadian statutory rate.

	2010			2009
	$			$
Combined basic federal and provincial rates		35%			33.0%
Income tax benefit based on statutory income tax rate		(6,008,613	)		(6,481,504	)
Increase in income taxes resulting from:
Non-deductible expenses		680,267			409,699
Increase in valuation allowance		(5,328,346	)		6,071,805
Income tax expense		—			—

Deferred income taxes result principally from temporary differences in the recognition of loss carry-forwards and expense items for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

	December 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
	$			$

Accrued expenses and deferred revenue		1,926,751			1,888,644
Property, plant and equipment		(642,984	)		(1,065,154	)
Share issue cost		-			1,754,781
Intangible assets		15,936,509			18,928,595
Net operating losses		30,646,477			54,637,518
		47,866,753			76,144,384
Valuation allowance		(47,866,753	)		(76,144,384	)
Total deferred tax assets		—			—

During 2010, the Company reclassified certain prior year deferred tax asset balances. However as the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, there was no impact to the consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations. Additionally, as a result of the domestication, the Company will not have the ability to carry forward all of their Canadian net operating losses that were created in prior years, and therefore has reduced its 2010 deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance.

The Company has approximately $76.6 million in net operating tax losses carryforwards available to be applied against future years' income, which if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025. The Company is still in its early stages, with only a few years of operating history. From the Company’s inception, significant losses have been recorded. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of operating loss carryforwards and other tax deferred assets.

The Company does not believe there are any uncertain tax provisions under ASC 740, nor are there any examinations from taxing authorities currently ongoing.

17. Derivative Instruments

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815-40”). ASC 815-40 states that an equity-linked financial instrument will 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. ASC 815-40 specifies that a contract will not be treated as a derivative if it meets 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 liabilities. All other outstanding convertible instruments are considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock, because their exercise prices are denominated in the same currency as the Company’s functional currency, and are included in stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s only derivative instruments were 11,000,000 warrants, the exercise price for which was 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 expired on October 20, 2010.

5,500,000 Series B warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.50 that expired on October 20, 2010.

These warrants were recorded at their relative fair values at issuance and continued to be recorded at fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods was recorded as other income (expense). The fair value of these warrants was 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.

On October 20, 2010, these warrants expired; accordingly, the Company recorded an unrealized gain (loss) of $1,389,300 and $(801,350) in other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to the change in the fair value of these warrants.
