SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
This report includes and incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated in this report regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We cannot guarantee that we actually will achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements. These important factors include the factors that we identify in the documents we incorporate by reference in this report, as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this report.  See “Risk Factors.” You should read these factors and other cautionary statements made in this report, and in the documents we incorporate by reference as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report, and in the documents incorporated by reference.  Except to the extent required by U.S. federal securities laws, we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements made by us.
 
 
 

 
 
All currency amounts are in thousands in this report. Share, per share and other numerical data are listed without abbreviation.  This filing is our last periodic report as a "smaller reporting company."  During 2010, pursuant to specific financial tests adopted by the SEC, we qualified as an "accelerated filer," beginning with reports covering the year ending December 31, 2010.  In the future, our periodic reports will be required to include a greater level of disclosure.

PART I

Item 1.  Business.

Overview of Our Business

KIT digital is a premium provider of end-to-end video asset management software (VAMS) and related services. The KIT Platform, our cloud-based solution delivered primarily in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, enables over 2,000 media distributor, enterprise and network operator clients to create, manage and deliver multi-screen video and social engagement experiences to audiences wherever they are.  With deep experience that runs the gamut from traditional broadcast systems engineering to “over-the-top” (OTT) social video applications, we are uniquely positioned to deliver truly complete video solutions, from the lens of the camera to the eye of the audience (“lens to lens”), and guide our clients into the future of Internet Protocol (IP)-based interactive media. Our clients’ use of the KIT Platform includes end-consumer focused live and on-demand video distribution, as well as internal corporate deployments, including corporate communications, human resources, training, security and surveillance.

The KIT Platform’s modular approach enables customers to select from three industry-tailored software solutions with a broad set of features that share a common data model and architecture. KIT’s platform solutions include:
 
KIT Media – for content creators and media distributers, including traditional broadcasters, online publishers, content syndicators, faith-based and sports organizations
 
KIT Enterprise – for non-media enterprises, including consumer brands, manufacturing, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, automotive and government entities
 
KIT Operator – for network operators, including telecommunications carriers, cable operators, internet service providers and virtual network operators (e.g. connected device manufacturers)

Each KIT Platform solution utilizes a common set of shared functional modules and follows an underlying technical design philosophy that employs modular, extensible subcomponents and exposes functionality via standards-based APIs (application programming interfaces). This core methodology allows the KIT Platform to be extended through the addition of new, discrete components as well as integration with third-party solutions.  The KIT Platform leverages cloud-based application and content delivery services to ensure a high degree of scalability, while minimizing operational and maintenance costs.

In addition to our KIT Platform solutions, we offer a range of related professional services supporting the wider value chain of video with a focus on systems integration for the capture, transcoding, storage, editing and play-out of video in film, television and other broadcasting environments.  We also provide content services (such as localization and packaging) and advanced digital marketing services. We estimate that over 70% of our current revenues are generated by KIT Platform-related fees, with the remainder directly related to professional services. For KIT Platform use, we generally invoice customers monthly, and occasionally on a quarterly basis. For our professional services, we bill either on an hourly or project basis. We currently provide our software solutions and professional services internationally through our operational headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic, and our principal offices in Atlanta, Cambridge (UK), Chennai, Cologne, Dubai, London, Melbourne (Australia), Mumbai, New York (executive office), Paris, San Francisco and Stockholm. We have 9 other sales representative offices in an additional 7 countries.

As of March 15, 2011, our customer base consisted of 2,000+ enterprise customers from over 40 countries, including Airbus, American Express, The Associated Press, BBC, Best Buy, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Disney-ABC, ESPN Star, FedEx, General Motors, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Home Depot, IMG Worldwide, MediaCorp, Microsoft, MTV, NBC Universal, News Corp, Telefónica, Verizon, Vodafone and Volkswagen. Our clients usually enter into long-term contracts. Our average remaining contract length is approximately 24 months, with automatic renewal features.

The KIT Platform is used by demanding and sophisticated corporate clients, and is particularly appropriate for global corporations that need to centrally and securely produce and manage video content, while also providing content access and publishing to multiple geographical locations, on multiple device types, in different languages and across multiple network protocols. This ability to centrally and securely administer video content while allowing it to be modified and distributed broadly is known as multi-point publishing. We believe that the KIT Platform has the most advanced multi-point publishing capabilities in the market today.

We align our business and the solutions we offer into three primary vertical industry segments: (i) media distributors, (ii) general corporate enterprises and (iii) network operators. This provides an organizational framework to synchronize commercial and operational functions and enables our team to foster deep industry specific thought leadership and subject matter expertise. Using a consultative, solution-oriented approach to the market allows us to significantly increase the value we are able to provide to our clients by offering industry-specific workflow management and establishing deeper, longer lasting relationships, resulting in more business and higher margin revenue.

We manage our business across three major geographical profit and loss centers: (i) Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), (ii) the Americas, and (iii) Asia-Pacific. We estimate that, as of March 15, 2011, approximately 40%, 35% and 25% of our current revenues are generated in EMEA, the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively.

Our clients in each of these regions use our KIT Platform and related professional services to address a variety of needs. Below are specific customer examples. These examples are presented below in order to illustrate different use cases for our software and services, and are not necessarily in order of importance or demonstrative of relative size of client:
 
 
Vodafone, the world’s largest mobile network operator, has licensed the KIT Platform through various business units in EMEA to support a host of publishing points that are managed centrally. These publishing points include fully functional video stores with ‘download-to-own’ and ‘video-on-demand’ rental capabilities, web-based streaming deployments, user profiling for dynamic recommendation and rating of content, native Smartphone applications as well as WAP-based video portals for 3G-enabled devices.
 
 
 
Delta Air Lines, the world’s largest airline, has licensed the KIT platform to manage DeltaTube, an internal communications video system that features executive messaging, internal training and company news on various device types.
 
 
 
Telecom Argentina, Argentina's largest telecommunications carrier, has licensed our KIT Platform to support the most advanced online video-on-demand store in Latin America, streaming long-format Hollywood and Latin American movies over-the-top to its broadband user base, and employing next-generation adaptive streaming technologies directly through IPTV (internet protocol television)-capable set-top boxes, web browsers, game consoles and internet enabled TV sets throughout its network.
 
 
 
General Motors, the world’s second largest automotive manufacturer, has licensed the KIT Platform to effectively and transparently communicate with employees, vendors, the public, investors, journalists and other interested parties through live speeches and on-demand archived content.

Microsoft, the world’s largest software company, has licensed our KIT Platform solution to support an integrated IP video digital signage and corporate communications systems for its new EMEA headquarters in Paris.

 
TV2Moro has licensed our KIT platform to support an set-top box-based and OTT network providing popular Arabic content to consumers living in the U.S. and Europe.  KIT digital solutions support different set-top box types with wireless USB and PVR Linux-based operating systems supporting Windows Media DRM and H.264 Codec, with open standard middleware and user interface.

 
MTV, one of the world’s leading lifestyle broadcasters, has licensed the KIT Platform to reach audiences across multiple platforms with engaging video experiences, including the Video Music Awards and the MTV News iPhone and Android Apps.

 
A subsidiary of Chello Media, the content division of the world’s third largest cable company, Liberty Global, has licensed the KIT platform to bring certain channels from a traditional pay TV networks to Web and Smartphone environments.

 
Simon & Schuster, a leading print publisher, has licensed the KIT Platform to quickly deploy its authors’ new books and related content to consumers through iTunes-connected devices. The interactive mobile apps include built-in interactive social features, including moderated UGC and real-time chat, and enables readers to upload photos and videos and build an online community of fans.

 
Volkswagen has licensed the KIT Platform to implement a video system that addresses consumers and supply chain participants across six countries and nine of its famous brands: Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, SEAT, Skoda, Scania, and Volkswagen. The KIT digital video solution enhances web experiences, while extending the group’s communications and marketing capabilities to the Web, mobile devices, and connected TVs.

We believe the proliferation of IP-connected devices coupled with the accelerating worldwide adoption of broadband Internet connections, IPTV cable, and video-capable mobile networks is fueling long-term growth in IP-based video delivery. Moreover, we believe traditional digital video management systems, which are dominated by hardware and dedicated firmware solutions, will be replaced by software and IP-based solutions over the next 5-10 years. We are well-positioned to take advantage of this long-term replacement effect.

Our SaaS solutions have been designed to help large corporations cost-effectively manage and deliver video to both end-users and internal constituents with limited uptake and training time. The KIT Platform is delivered through the Internet from centrally hosted datacenters, providing a high degree of reliability, scalability and security. In addition to our cloud-based platform solutions, we address the needs of our customers at various stages along the video value chain — from the repurposing and monetization of video assets to the deployment of broadcast facilities — by offering professional services related to technical integration and hardware fit-out, user interface design, digital marketing and branding and strategic planning. We believe our proprietary KIT software platform, combined with our systems integration, creative and content services, provides us with a sustainable, competitive advantage over other, more limited and less scalable solutions currently being offered in the marketplace.

We derive our revenues from SaaS license fees and usage fees, enterprise license fees and professional services fees. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded consolidated revenue of $106,597 as compared to revenue of $47,284 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Over time, we seek to attain a 50%+ market share position in the VAMS industry globally, through both organic growth and selective acquisitions that complement our geographical footprint and sales vertical reach.

Organizational History

We were originally incorporated in Delaware in August 1998 under the name Virilitec Industries, Inc. For approximately five years prior to December 2003, Virilitec engaged in unrelated business activities. In December 2003, Virilitec completed a business combination with our legal predecessor, ROO Media Corporation (“ROO Media”), a Delaware corporation formed in March 2001, which was substantially engaged in our present line of business. During 2001 and 2002, ROO Media focused on developing and refining its products and solutions, commencing commercial sales of its solutions in late 2003. ROO Media originally developed a technology platform called “VX”, designed to provide a cost effective, robust and scalable solution to manage and syndicate video content over the Internet. In February 2004, we changed our corporate name to ROO Group, Inc. and in early 2011, we changed the product name “VX” to the “KIT Platform”.

In December 2007, we entered into an agreement with KIT Capital, Ltd. (“KIT Capital”), a company owned by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, under which KIT Capital has provided us managerial services and a substantial equity investment was made through its affiliate KIT Media, Ltd.

In May 2008, we changed our corporate name to our present name, KIT digital, Inc.

In May 2008, we completed a private placement of 2,142,858 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.00 per share, and warrants to purchase 2,142,858 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.90 per share, resulting in aggregate gross cash proceeds of $15,000. These warrants including an anti-dilution ratchet provision; as a result, the strike price became $7.00 per share as a result of the August 2009 public equity offering described below. In the private placement, KIT Media purchased 1,008,572 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a like number of shares of common stock. All shares sold to KIT Media were at the same price and on the same terms as the other investors in the offering. Gavin Campion, our President, is also an investor in KIT Media, as are two other members of our board of directors.

In August 2009, we completed the sale of 4,554,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.00 per share in a public offering and contemporaneous listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, in which 4,004,000 shares were sold by us and 550,000 shares were sold by certain existing, unaffiliated stockholders. The gross proceeds of the common stock sold by us were $28,028. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. We issued to the underwriters 44,067 warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of $8.40 per share exercisable for a period of five years and were valued under the Black-Scholes model as $181. In connection with the public offering, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $26,090 after underwriting discounts, commissions and fees, legal fees and expenses, and other fees. KIT Media, Ltd., controlled by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, purchased $4,004 of common stock (572,000 shares) in the August 2009 offering, in part through the conversion into common stock of an interim note payable by us in the amount of $3,350. All shares sold to KIT Media were at the same price and on the same terms as the other investors in this offering.

On January 26, 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering of 2,980,000 shares of our common stock, pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed and declared effective in October 2009, and related prospectus supplement dated January 21, 2010. We sold such shares in the offering at a price of $10.50 per share and received $31,290 in gross proceeds and approximately $28,890 in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, legal fees and other estimated offering expenses.  The impact of the public offering increased our total stockholders’ equity by $28,890.  As part of the offering, we granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase an additional 447,000 shares of common stock at the same price per share through February 20, 2010.  We subsequently sold 350,000 additional shares of common stock pursuant to the over-allotment option on February 23, 2010, and received $3,675 in gross proceeds and approximately $3,433 in net proceeds.

On March 7, 2010, our board of directors approved the repurchase of certain outstanding warrants with exercise prices below the then-current market price from certain warrant holders (who had acquired the warrants in the May 2008 private placement financing), including KIT Media, an entity controlled by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Wellington Management Company (“Wellington”), an entity with greater than a 10% holding in KIT digital’s outstanding common stock at the time of the transaction. KIT Media and Wellington were at the time considered related parties of the Company. The terms of the warrant repurchase were identical for KIT Media and Wellington, and the negotiation of such terms was led by Wellington. The Company offered to purchase and cancel these warrants at 133% of the intrinsic value of the warrants (but because intrinsic value was based on a 20-day trailing volume weighted average price of the underlying common stock at the time, the ultimate purchase price of the warrants ended up being below the actual intrinsic value at the date of purchase).  These warrants with anti-ratchet dilution provisions totaling 3,030,747 were cancelled effective on March 31, 2010. These warrants were included in the warrant buyback liability as at March 31, 2010 and were paid after such date. We also repurchased and cancelled another 403,577 warrants with anti-ratchet dilution provisions during the year ended December 31, 2010, at varying prices, from parties other than KIT Media and Wellington, for $1,342.

On March 9, 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,541,624 shares of our common stock, pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed and declared effective in February 2010, and related prospectus supplement dated March 4, 2010.  We sold such shares in the offering at a price of $9.73 per share and received $15,000 in gross proceeds and approximately $14,075 in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, legal fees and other estimated offering expenses. The impact of the public offering increased our total stockholders’ equity by $14,075. We subsequently sold 231,244 additional shares of common stock pursuant to an underwriters’ over-allotment option on March 22, 2010, and received $2,250 in gross proceeds and approximately $2,087 in net proceeds.

On April 27, 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering of 4,230,770 shares of our common stock, pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed and declared effective in February 2010, and related prospectus supplement dated April 22, 2010. We sold such shares in the offering at a price of $13.00 per share and received $55,000 in gross proceeds and approximately $50,574 in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, legal fees and other estimated offering expenses. We subsequently sold 634,615 additional shares of common stock pursuant to an underwriters’ over-allotment option on May 6, 2010, and received $8,250 in gross proceeds and approximately $7,628 in net proceeds. KIT Capital purchased $1,300 of common stock (100,000 shares) in the April 2010 offering at the same price and on the same terms as the other investors in the offering.

On October 22, 2010, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the registration statement on Form S-3 of KIT digital, Inc. filed on October 13, 2010. The registration statement permits us to issue, in one or more offerings, shares of common stock at an aggregate offering price not to exceed $250,000.

On November 24, 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock, pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-169918), which was originally filed and declared effective in October 2010, and related prospectus supplement dated November 19, 2010. We sold shares at a price of $12.00 per share and received $96,000 in gross proceeds and approximately $89,489 in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, legal fees and other estimated offering expenses. We subsequently sold 1,200,000 additional shares of common stock pursuant to an underwriters’ over-allotment option on December 10, 2010, and received $14,400 in gross proceeds and approximately $13,449 in net proceeds.

On December 24, 2010, we sold a portion of our business focusing on certain professional services and non-SaaS activities, allowing management to sharpen its focus on our core KIT Platform offerings. Activities spun out include certain encoding services and broadcast equipment installation services. The sale price of the transaction was approximately $12,000, including the repayment of outstanding loans to us.

Recent Business Acquisitions

KickApps Acquisition

On January 28, 2011, we acquired 100% ownership of KickApps Corporation, a Delaware corporation, through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary with and into KickApps. KickApps, headquartered in New York City, is a leading provider of solutions that enable the creation and management of next generation video-based and social experiences online. Its solutions consist of a suite of hosted social media applications and services that drive deeper relationships with customers, and which are used by some of the world’s largest brands to grow and engage online audiences.

KickApps adds significant technology and product synergies to KIT digital, bringing a suite of self-serve deployable social solutions that are created using Web-based authoring tools. KickApps’ Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) App Studio will serve as a unification point for all publishing-layer technologies across KIT digital's family of products.

KIT digital paid consideration of approximately US$44.7 million for KickApps on a cash-free, debt-free basis, and all in shares of KIT digital common stock that are subject to lock-up provisions—which will help ensure KickApps’ shareholders and management's long-term commitment and upside in the combined business.

Under the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transaction, KickApps stockholders received 3,010,294 shares of KIT digital’s common stock.  All vested KickApps options not exercised prior to the merger were cashed-out, and KIT digital will issue new options to KickApps employees with similar vesting provisions. Holders of KickApps common stock receiving total consideration in the merger of less than $7 do not receive any KIT digital common stock, but are instead paid in cash. We are holding 528,507 shares of the merger consideration in escrow for a period not to exceed 15 months following the merger to cover any warranty claims related to undisclosed commercial or tax liabilities or litigation. Our post-closing remedy for all claims will be limited to the escrowed funds, although the preferred stockholders of KickApps have agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities up to the total value of the shares of our common stock issued to them.

Kewego Acquisition

On January 26, 2011, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with the shareholders of Kewego S.A., a company organized under the laws of France, pursuant to which we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Kewego. Kewego, based in Paris, provides enterprises, media operators, and communication agencies with professional IP-based, multi-screen video asset management solutions for managing, broadcasting and monetizing videos on IP connected devices, including PCs, mobile phones, iPads, connected TVs, and gaming consoles.

Kewego’s platform brings to KIT digital a large set of robust application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable third party development and an agency ecosystem to drive sales channel partnerships. Kewego also enhances KIT’s enterprise offering through onsite, digital signage deployments.

The consideration for all of Kewego’s outstanding stock was €25,655, subject to a post-closing adjustment for working capital and net cash.  The purchase price consisted of €8,750 in cash and the issuance of 1,411,704 shares of our common stock.

Kyte Acquisition

On January 25, 2011, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we acquired decentraltv Corporation, a Delaware corporation doing business as Kyte.  Kyte, based in San Francisco, is a leading cloud-based publishing platform that enables companies to manage and deliver live and on-demand video experiences to websites, mobile devices and connected TVs.

We plan to leverage Kyte’s proprietary platform and application frameworks to serve and expand KIT’s global client base. We believe our scale and expertise will make it possible for Kyte to realize the full potential of its pioneering innovations in online and mobile video, including new opportunities in the over-the-top connected device and enterprise video markets.

KIT digital paid consideration of approximately US$5.7 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, plus certain future management incentive payments. The consideration was comprised of US$3.1 million in cash and the remainder in shares of KIT digital common stock.

At the closing of the acquisition, we paid $3,024 to the stockholders of Kyte, $582 to third parties for expenses for which Kyte was responsible, and issued for the benefit of the stockholders of Kyte 189,348 shares of our common stock, of which 56,803 shares are being held in escrow for a period of one year from closing to secure certain indemnification obligations of Kyte and its stockholders. On the one-year anniversary of the acquisition, KIT digital is obligated to pay up to an additional $500 in cash and issue up to an additional $500 in KIT digital common stock to former Kyte stockholders if specified financial milestones are achieved by that business.

Polymedia Acquisition - On Wednesday, March 16th, 2011 KIT digital executed a definitive agreement to acquire Polymedia S.p.A. Based in Milan, Italy, Polymedia is the IP video platform-provisioning subsidiary of TXT e-solutions, a public company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange (TXT IM). Polymedia develops multi-channel solutions for the acquisition, management and re-purposing of on-line digital IP-based content and video, and for its distribution across a variety of media, channels and devices, telecommunications carriers, cable, media and industrial enterprises.

Polymedia's core technology revolves around a set of proprietary tools that will allow KIT digital to more rapidly deploy its network operator and broadcaster solutions, and support various revenue models for premium IP video content. Polymedia offers particular expertise in metadata-related workflow and deep third party software integration. Additionally, the acquisition will reinforce KIT’s leadership in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

In consideration for 100% of Polymedia's shares on a debt-free and cash-free basis, the transaction includes guaranteed payments of approximately $34.4 million at closing, comprised of $17.2 million in cash and up to $17.2 million in KIT digital common stock. The transaction is expected to close approximately mid-April 2011, pending review by Italian labor authorities.

Operations Strategy

Operational initiatives in 2010 included: (i) completion of technical and staff integration of acquisitions completed during the year; (ii) the roll-out of enhanced KIT Platform functionality across client deployments globally—including improvement of both “on-deck” and “off-deck” mobile publishing and delivery capabilities and enhancement of the KIT Platform’s closed-network IPTV and hybrid set-top box capabilities; (iii) the expansion of our presence in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) markets via onshore office openings, commercial partnerships, joint ventures and selected acquisitions; and (iv) corporate marketing initiatives to be more widely visible as a global leader in the IP VAMS industry.

Our Growth Strategy

Our objective is to enhance our position as the leading provider of video technology and services. Key elements of our growth strategy include:

 
invest in sales, marketing and branding to expand upon our leadership in cloud-based video asset management — we estimate that we are the largest international provider of software solutions for managing IP video content and it is our intention to continue to build our brand in such a way that is synonymous with ‘‘industrial grade’’ quality, professionalism and customer support;

 
pursue new customers and territories — we are aggressively targeting potential customers through our direct sales force and believe that there are substantial market opportunities for our solutions in the Americas, Asia and Europe, as well as the BRIC markets;

 
leverage existing and new strategic reselling partnerships with content delivery networks (CDNs), systems integration companies, hardware providers and other participants in the video management value chain, including collaborative sales and marketing efforts and the reselling of each other’s products and services;

 
increase revenue from our existing client base — we seek to increase revenue from each of our customers by increasing their usage of our platform, increasing basic license fees by up-selling additional modules of the KIT Platform, and actively selling complementary creative and technical integration services;
 
 
8

 
 
 
enhance our product offering — we intend to further develop our KIT software platform’s capabilities and features by continuing to invest 7%+ of our gross revenues in ongoing research and development; and

 
complete accretive acquisitions which expand our client and geographical footprint — we intend to continue to pursue selected acquisitions that consolidate market share, expand our geographical footprint and customer reach, and further our position as the leading provider of enterprise-grade IP-based video management solutions.

Our Technology

The KIT Platform is a highly scalable, multi-tenant application written in enterprise-class programming languages including C++ and Java, and leveraging standards based web services and APIs to ensure a high degree of modular extensibility. We use commercially available hardware and a combination of proprietary and commercially available software, including technologies acquired through acquisitions, to provide our solutions. This approach follows a technical design philosophy that utilizes modular, extensible subcomponents and exposes functionality via standards-based APIs. A universal services bus allows each discrete component to communicate using a common set of APIs, ensuring interoperability and allowing KIT digital to easily delivery highly customized solutions that meet the particular needs of the customer while minimizing custom development.

The Open Source Media Framework, or OSMF, a technology jointly developed by KickApps and Adobe, epitomizes the modular, standards-based approach that has been embraced by KIT digital. The OSMF apps studio serves as a common authoring tool across KIT’s entire platform suite, allowing clients to create and deploy customized Flash and HTML5 social video experiences with point and click ease.

Our platform powers video experiences delivered to multiple screens and devices, including web browsers, native and web-based mobile and tablet applications, and connected set-top boxes and televisions.

We own or manage all of the hardware deployed in support of the KIT Platform. We have multiple redundant co-location facilities including Atlanta, Brisbane (Australia), Cologne, Dusseldorf, London, New York, Prague and Toronto, in addition to our primary location in Ashburn, Virginia. Our facilities are state-of-the-art and provide around-the-clock security personnel, video surveillance and biometric access screening, and are serviced by onsite electrical generators, fire detection and suppression systems. Our facilities afford us multiple Tier 1 interconnects to the global Internet. Our multiple co-location facilities provide increased platform uptime and application availability and redundancy, which are essential to support the business-critical needs of our customers.

We provide 24/7 performance and uptime monitoring of our platform services. We have a highly available, scalable infrastructure that utilizes load-balanced web server pools, redundant interconnected networks, switches and firewalls, intrusion detection, replicated databases and fault-tolerant storage devices. User and performance data are backed up on a daily basis and stored in multiple locations to ensure integrity and restoration capability. Application monitoring includes automated tools that ensure our KIT software platform is running and operating within performance benchmarks. Since migrating to our own delivery architecture in May 2008, our core platform uptime has been 100% — although there can be no assurance of perfect uptime in the future.

We have not been focused historically on the development of patents because  we believe that the long-term commercial usage of our KIT platform and its component parts (dating back to 1999 for certain key elements) at this point provides us the best defensibility around our core intellectual property. We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties, and trade secret laws of general applicability, to safeguard our software and technology.

Customers

As of March 15, 2011, we had more than 2,000 customers. Our standard SaaS license agreement for our enterprise customers runs at least 24 months; our current average remaining contract life is approximately 18 months. SaaS fees are billed monthly, on both a basic license and usage fee basis. Our client contracts typically renew automatically in the absence of proactive termination at the end of the contract term, and we estimate that customer cancellations in our business have historically been under 2% per year.

Our professional services are contracted on a project basis and in some cases on an hourly basis.

As previously discussed, we provide services to customers in three primary vertical industry segments, including media distributors, general corporate enterprises and network operators. Our customer base is not concentrated in any particular industry. None of our customers accounted for more than 10% of revenues in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Set forth below is a representative list of our customers as of March 15, 2011:

ABC News, A&E Television, Airbus, American Express, AP, AstraZeneca, Astro, Autotrader.com, BBC, Bristol-Myers Squibb, British Telecom, Cinepost, Citadel Broadcasting, Comcast, CNN, Czech TV, Delta Airlines, ESPN, FedEx, FOX, GM, Google, Hewlett-Packard,, HBO, Johnson & Johnson, Joyce Meyer Ministries, The Knot, Microsoft, MSN, MTV, NY Post, National Geographic, O2 Ice Hockey League, Playtex, PMT, Prima TV, Reckord Outside Broadcasting, Salesforce.com, SAP, Snap-On Tools, Tabcorp, Tribeca Film Festival, Telecom Argentina, Telefonica, TV2Moro, United Business Media, U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, Verizon, Vodafone, Volkswagen, Z1 and Yellow Pages.

Sales and Marketing

We primarily sell our software solutions directly through our sales force. To a lesser extent, we utilize distribution relationships such as resellers and affiliate partners. We target providers and users of IP video content through our:
 
 
Field sales force: We have developed a field sales force and as of December 31, 2010 we had approximately 89 direct sales personnel in various geographic markets, including 33 in EMEA, 26 in Asia-Pacific and in the Americas (including both North and South America). Our direct sales force is responsible for identifying and managing individual sales opportunities in their respective regions. Certain sales representatives also have cross-regional ‘‘vertical’’ responsibilities, meaning they are responsible for identifying global sales opportunities in a specific industry vertical, such as classifieds, retail or publishing. These direct sales representatives are complemented by over 80 additional sales support, sales administration and channel sales professionals.
 
 
15

 
 
 
Distribution partners: We maintain relationships with certain resellers and distribution partners that we believe have complementary efforts in the IP-video marketplace, and strong existing client bases with in-region sales forces. Currently, we have deployed formal reselling relationships as follows: Akamai, Aprimo, Can Communicate, Complete TV, DigiSoft, Digotel, Gartner, Harmonic/Omneon, LatinStock, Level 3, Limelight, MC Communications, MedIQ, Omnitech, Pixelpark, Sony, Spotzer, Technicolor, United Business Media, Vivocom and WebAlive.

We intend to aggressively expand our reseller network, with a particular focus on content delivery networks (CDNs), systems integrators, content aggregators and IP-based hardware providers.

We focus our corporate marketing efforts on increasing brand awareness, communicating the KIT software platform advantages and generating qualified leads for our sales teams. Our corporate marketing plan is designed to continually elevate awareness of our brand and generate demand for our software solution. We rely on a number of vehicles in this area, including tradeshows, advertising, public relations, webinars, our website and collaborative relationships with complementary technology vendors.

Our Industry

We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the growth within the Internet Protocol (IP)-based VAMS industry. Our industry’s growth globally is expected to be driven by:
 
 
the conversion of analog and traditional digital video formats to IP video;
 
 
 
the continuing rise in the amount and breadth of IP-based video content;
 
 
 
changes in consumer behavior and the growing consumer demand for IP-based video content;
 
 
 
the proliferation of broadband Internet connections;
 
 
 
the expansion and evolution of video-capable mobile networks;
 
 
 
the increase of Internet-connected devices; and
 
 
 
the rapid ‘‘catch-up’’ of emerging markets broadband and mobile network access.

Competition

We believe that few competitors currently provide the range of technology and services provided by KIT digital, but there are a number of competitors that provide certain elements of the products and services we offer, including:
 
 
video asset management and enablement; and
 
 
 
video-centric integration, interface design and creative services.

We believe the barriers to entry for the industry in which we operate include: (i) the intellectual property, timeframe and costs to develop commercially robust, feature-rich video content management platforms for online, mobile and IPTV networks, (ii) established enterprise-class business relationships and (iii) the time and resources involved to train and develop sales, account management and professional services staff with IP video and social media expertise.
 
 
16

 
 
Video content management and enablement. There are a number of companies that offer competing tools for enabling video content for consumption via the Internet, mobile networks and connected TVs, including but not limited to Deltatre, thePlatform, Arvato Mobile, Polymedia, Vision IPTV, Extend Media, Saffron Digital, Irdeto, Qumu, and Tvinci.

Video-centric systems integration, interface design and creative services. There are myriad broadcast systems integration companies and interactive marketing agencies globally, many of which have some expertise in IP-based video systems.

We believe that we set ourselves apart from our competitors through:
 
 
the breadth and depth of the KIT suite functionality;
 
 
 
our integrated online, mobile and IPTV (‘‘multi-screen’’) publishing capability;
 
 
 
our integrated social media capabilities;
 
 
 
our global customer and sales footprint, including multicultural and multilingual customer services and support;
 
 
 
our advanced multi-format ingestion and multi-point publishing capabilities;
 
 
 
our multi-format content syndication and repurposing capabilities; and
 
 
 
our top-tier creative services and systems integration capabilities.

Research and Development

Our research and development personnel are dedicated to undertaking efforts to enhance and improve our existing services and create new services in response to our customers’ needs and market demand for software tools to manage and deliver IP-video. Accordingly, we have invested, and intend to continue to invest, significant time and resources in our development activities to establish and maintain ourselves as a leader in providing optimized IP-based video solutions that address the business needs of our customers. As of December 31, 2010, we had over 100 employees involved in tasks related to research and development. While our reported research and development expenses were $4.1 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, these figures are related primarily to acquisition accounting and the actual estimated level of past and future research and development expenditure in our business is approximately 7-9% of gross revenues.  As a practice, we generally do not capitalize research and development, and these amounts are expensed.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had a total of approximately 720 full-time employees, approximately 100 part-time employees and 22 consultants based in Asia, EMEA and the Americas. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical and management personnel for whom competition is intense. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit, though there is a work council set up in our Cologne, Germany office. We believe our relations with employees and contractors are good.

Government Regulation

We are subject to risks associated with governmental regulation and legal uncertainties. Few existing laws or regulations specifically apply to the Internet, other than laws and regulations generally applicable to businesses. Many laws and regulations, however, are pending and may be adopted in the United States, individual states and local jurisdictions and other countries with respect to the Internet. These laws may relate to many areas that impact our business, including content issues (such as obscenity, indecency and defamation), caching of content by server products, and the convergence of traditional communication services with Internet communications, including the future availability of broadband transmission capability and wireless networks. These types of regulations are likely to differ between countries and other political and geographic divisions. Other countries and political organizations are likely to impose or favor more and different regulation than that which has been proposed in the United States, thus furthering the complexity of regulation. The adoption of such laws or regulations, and uncertainties associated with their validity, interpretation, applicability and enforcement, may affect the available distribution channels for and costs associated with our products and services, and may affect the growth of the Internet. Such laws or regulations may harm our business. Our products and services may also become subject to investigation and regulation of foreign data protection authorities, including those in the European Union. Such activities could result in additional product and distribution costs for us in order to comply with such regulation.
 
 
17

 
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as other information provided to you in this report, including information at the beginning of this document entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” and in other documents that we subsequently file with the SEC that update, supplement or supersede such information.  The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or which we consider immaterial based on information currently available to us may also materially adversely affect us.  If any of the events anticipated by the risks and uncertainties described occur, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected, which could result in a decline in the price of our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of annual net losses which may continue and which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we had revenue of $106,597 and a net loss available to common stockholders of $35,260.  There can be no assurance that, even if our revenue increases, our future operations will result in net income. Our failure to increase our revenues or improve our gross margins will harm our business. We may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, our gross margins fail to improve or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our operating results will suffer. The prices we charge for our Internet software and services may decrease, which would reduce our revenues and gross margins, and harm our business. If we are unable to sell our solutions at acceptable prices relative to our costs, or if we fail to develop and introduce on a timely basis new products from which we can derive additional revenues, our financial results will suffer.

Our operations have limited histories and therefore we cannot ensure the long-term successful operation of our business or the execution of our business plan.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by growing companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, such as the software and services markets in which we operate. We must meet many challenges including:

 
establishing and maintaining broad market acceptance of our products and services and converting that acceptance into direct and indirect sources of revenue;

 
establishing and maintaining adoption of our technology on a wide variety of platforms and devices;

 
timely and successfully developing new products, product features and services and increasing the functionality and features of existing products and services;

 
developing services and products that result in high degrees of corporate client satisfaction and high levels of end-customer usage;

 
successfully responding to competition, including competition from emerging technologies and solutions;

 
developing and maintaining strategic relationships to enhance the distribution, features, content and utility of our products and services; and

 
identifying, attracting and retaining talented technical and creative services staff at reasonable market compensation rates in the markets in which we employ.

Our business strategy may be unsuccessful and we may be unable to address the risks we face in a cost-effective manner, if at all. If we are unable to successfully address these risks, our business will be harmed.
 
 
18

 
 
Our resources may not be sufficient to manage our expected growth; failure to properly manage our potential growth would be detrimental to our business.

We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated future growth. Any growth in our operations will place a significant strain on our administrative, financial and operational resources, and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base and maintain close coordination among our technical, accounting, finance, marketing and sales staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems. There may be greater strain on our systems mainly because we have acquired a number of businesses over the last 24 months and have had to devote significant management time and expense to the ongoing integration and alignment of management, systems, controls and marketing. To the extent we acquire other businesses, we will also need to integrate and assimilate new operations, technologies and personnel. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, such as if our sales and marketing efforts exceed our capacity to install, maintain and service our products or if new employees are unable to achieve performance levels, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our competitors may have greater financial and other resources than we do and those advantages could make it difficult for us to compete with them.

The market for IP video content management is relatively new and constantly changing. We expect that competition in this industry will intensify. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins, loss of customers and changes in our business and marketing strategies, any of which could harm our business. Current and potential competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, more employees and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations and distribution resources than we do. In addition, new competitors with potentially unique or more desirable products or services may enter the market at any time. The competitive environment may require us to make changes in our products, pricing, licensing, services or marketing to maintain and extend our current brand and technology. Price concessions or the emergence of other pricing, licensing and distribution strategies or technology solutions of competitors may reduce our revenue, margins or market share. Other changes we have to make in response to competition could cause us to expend significant financial and other resources, disrupt our operations, strain relationships with partners, release products and enhancements before they are thoroughly tested or result in customer dissatisfaction, any of which could harm our operating results and stock price.

If other market participants in the general video management market enter into social media and IP-based VAMs, we may be negatively impacted.

If dedicated firmware vendors and systems integrators were to enter into our space, they may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, more employees and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations and distribution resources than we do. The competitive environment may require us to make changes in our products, pricing, licensing, services or marketing to maintain and extend our current brand and technology. Price concessions or the emergence of other pricing, licensing and distribution strategies or technology solutions of competitors may reduce our revenue, margins or market share. Other changes we have to make in response to competition could cause us to expend significant financial and other resources, disrupt our operations, strain relationships with partners, release products and enhancements before they are thoroughly tested or result in customer dissatisfaction, any of which could harm our operating results and stock price.
 
 
19

 
 
If we do not successfully develop new software products and solutions, our business may be harmed.

Our business and operating results may be harmed if we fail to expand our software and services suite (either through internal product or capability development initiatives or through strategic partnerships and acquisitions) in such a way that achieves widespread market acceptance or that generates significant revenue and gross profits to offset our operating and other costs. We may not successfully identify, develop and market new product and service opportunities in a timely manner. If we introduce new products and services, they may not attain broad market acceptance or contribute meaningfully to our revenue or profitability. Competitive or technological developments may require us to make substantial, unanticipated investments in new products and technologies or in new strategic partnerships, and we may not have sufficient resources to make these investments. Because the markets for our solutions are subject to rapid change, we may need to expand and/or evolve our product and service offerings quickly. Delays and cost overruns could affect our ability to respond to technological changes, evolving industry standards, competitive developments or customer requirements and harm our business and operating results.

Any failure of major elements of our system and operations could lead to significant disruptions in our ability to serve customers, which could damage our reputation, reduce our revenues or otherwise harm our business.

Our business is dependent upon providing our customers with fast, efficient and reliable services. A reduction in the performance, reliability or availability of our network infrastructure may harm our ability to distribute our software to our customers, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain customers and content providers. Our systems and operations are susceptible to, and could be damaged or interrupted by outages caused by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet or mobile network breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Our systems are also subject to human error, security breaches, power losses, computer viruses, break-ins, “denial of service” attacks, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and tampering designed to disrupt our computer systems and network communications, and our systems could be subject to greater vulnerability in periods of high employee turnover. A sudden and significant increase in traffic on our customers’ websites or demand from mobile users could strain the capacity of the software, hardware and telecommunications systems that we deploy or use. This could lead to slower response times or system failures. Our failure to protect our network against damage from any of these events could harm our business.

Our operations also depend on web browsers, ISPs (Internet service providers) and mobile networks to provide our clients’ end-users access to websites, IPTV and mobile content. Many of these providers have experienced outages in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. Any such outage, delay or difficulty could adversely affect our ability to effectively provide our software and services, which would harm our business.

We depend on various third parties to maintain much of our content delivery, storage and computer hardware operations. If the third parties’ hardware or operations fail, our business will be harmed.

A portion of our content delivery, storage and computer hardware operations are operated or safeguarded by third parties such as Akamai Technologies, Equinix, Internap, Limelight, RRSat, Satlink and various other content delivery and transport, hosting and telecommunications providers. If these providers’ operations, networks, hardware or security systems fail — particularly if they fail in unison — our reputation and business may suffer.  A problem with, or failure of, these systems or operations could result in interruptions or increases in response times for our customers. If we cannot maintain our system in the event of unexpected occurrences, make necessary modifications and/or improvements to the technology, such deficiencies could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We license technology from third parties. If we are unable to maintain these licenses, our operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted.

We license technology from third parties. The loss of, or our inability to maintain, these licenses could result in increased costs or delay sales of our software and services. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology from third parties in the future. This technology may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Although we do not believe that we are substantially dependent on any individual licensed technology, some of the component technologies that we license from third parties could be difficult for us to replace. The impairment of these third-party relationships, especially if this impairment were to occur in unison, could result in delays in the delivery of our software and services until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. This delay could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
 
 
20

 
 
Certain of our service delivery and content handling services are subject to industry regulations, certifications and approvals.

The commercialization of certain of the service delivery and content handling services we provide at times require or are made more costly due to industry acceptance and regulatory processes, such as ISO certification and strict content security handling standards for Hollywood studios. If we are unable to obtain or retain these or other formal and informal industry certifications in a timely manner, or at all, our operating results could be adversely affected.

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may experience a loss of revenue and our operations may be materially harmed.

We have not made a practice of registering patents or copyrights on the software and technology we have developed. We believe our intellectual property is protected by the long-term usage precedent for our software solutions, and we rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties, and trade secret laws of general applicability, as an ongoing safeguard for our software and technology. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully prosecute potential infringement of our intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue and could materially harm our operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to retain the services of Kaleil Isaza Tuzman or Gavin Campion or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified personnel, we may not be able to continue operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Gavin Campion, our President. The loss of the services of Messrs. Isaza Tuzman or Campion could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues and prospective business. We have entered into an executive management agreement with KIT Capital, Ltd., an entity controlled by Mr. Isaza Tuzman, including the services of Mr. Isaza Tuzman and other KIT Capital personnel, pursuant to which Mr. Isaza Tuzman serves as our Chief Executive Officer, for a term of three years scheduled to expire in April 2011. This agreement is currently being negotiated for renewal. We have also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Campion. While we expect both Messrs. Isaza Tuzman and Campion to renew their employment arrangements with us under substantially similar terms, if either Mr. Isaza Tuzman or Mr. Campion were to resign or we are unable to retain either of their services beyond the term of their respective agreement with us, the loss could result in loss of sales, delays in new product development and diversion of management resources, and we could face high costs and substantial difficulty in hiring a qualified successor and could experience a loss in productivity while any such successor obtains the necessary training and experience. In addition, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we are dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified personnel who are familiar with the specific issues facing the IP video enablement industry. In particular, we must hire and retain experienced management personnel to help us continue to grow and manage our business, and skilled software engineers to further our research and development efforts. Competition for qualified personnel is intense. If we do not succeed in attracting new personnel or in retaining and motivating our current personnel, our business could be harmed.

We may not have successfully integrated recent acquisitions to realize the full benefits of the combined businesses.

Our recent acquisitions involve the integration of businesses that have previously operated separately. The difficulties of combining the operations of these businesses include:
 
              the challenge of effecting technical and staff integration while carrying on the ongoing businesses;
 
              the necessity of coordinating geographically separate organizations; and
 
              effective integration of personnel with diverse business backgrounds.
 
 
21

 
 
The process of completing the integration of these businesses could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of our company and the loss of key personnel. The multinational nature of our operations can make it especially challenging to successfully integrate our recent acquisitions. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the acquisitions and the integration of these operations could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our growth strategy depends, in part, on our acquiring businesses, products and technologies and expanding their existing operations, which we may be unable to do.

Our growth strategy is based, in part, on our ability to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies. The success of this acquisition strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to accomplish the following:
 
              identify suitable businesses or assets to buy;

              complete the purchase of those businesses on terms acceptable to us;

             complete the acquisition(s) in the time frame and within the budget we expect; and

 
improve the results of operations of each of the businesses that we buy and successfully integrate its operations on an accretive basis.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any or all of the factors above. Our failure to successfully implement our acquisition strategy could have an adverse effect on other aspects of our business strategy and our business in general. We may not be able to find appropriate acquisition candidates, accretively acquire those candidates that we identify or integrate acquired businesses effectively and profitably.

We may be subject to legal liability for providing third-party content.

We have certain arrangements to offer third-party content via certain of our clients’ websites. We may be subject to claims concerning this content by virtue of our involvement in marketing, branding, broadcasting or providing access to it, even if we do not ourselves host, operate or provide access to the content. While our agreements with these parties most often provide that we will be indemnified against such liabilities, such indemnification may not be adequate or available. Investigating and defending any of these types of claims can be expensive, even if the claims do not result in liability. While to date we have not been subject to material claims, if any potential claims do result in liability, we could be required to pay damages or other penalties, which could harm our business and operating results.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect our operating results in U.S. dollar terms.

A portion of our revenues arises from international operations. Revenues generated and expenses incurred by our international subsidiaries are often denominated in the currencies of the local countries. While we seek to roughly match client revenues with associated costs of delivery and client service, our consolidated U.S. dollar financial statements are subject to fluctuations due to changes in exchange rates as the financial results of our international subsidiaries are translated from local currencies into U.S. dollars. In addition, our financial results are subject to changes in exchange rates that impact the settlement of transactions in non-local currencies.

We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired.

We are required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to test goodwill for impairment at least annually and to review our amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that could lead to impairment of goodwill and amortizable intangible assets include significant adverse changes in the business climate and declines in the financial condition of our business. We have recorded and may be required in the future to record additional charges to earnings if a portion of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets becomes impaired. Any such charge would adversely impact our financial results.
 
 
22

 
 
Our international operations are subject to increased risks which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition to uncertainty about our ability to continue to generate revenues from our foreign operations and expand our international market position, there are risks inherent in doing business internationally, including:

 
trade barriers and changes in trade regulations;
 
 
 
difficulties in developing, staffing and simultaneously managing a large number of varying foreign operations as a result of distance, language and cultural differences;

 
the need to comply with varied local laws and regulations;
 
 
 
longer payment cycles;
 
 
 
possible credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;
 
 
 
profit repatriation restrictions and foreign currency exchange restrictions;
 
 
 
political or social unrest, economic instability or human rights issues;
 
 
 
geopolitical events, including acts of war and terrorism;
 
 
 
import or export regulations;
 
 
 
compliance with U.S. laws (such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials;
 
 
 
laws and business practices that favor local competitors or prohibit foreign ownership of certain businesses; and
 
 
 
different and more stringent user protection, data protection, privacy and other laws.

Violations of complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, prohibitions on the conduct of our business and damage to our reputation.

Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors or agents will not violate our policies. These risks inherent in our international operations and expansion increase our costs of doing business internationally and could result in harm to our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our historic stock price has been volatile and the future market price for our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile. This may make it difficult for you to sell our common stock for a positive return on your investment.

The public market for our common stock has historically been volatile. Any future market price for our shares is likely to continue to be volatile. This price volatility may make it more difficult for you to sell shares when you want at prices you find attractive. The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of specific companies. Broad market factors and the investing public’s negative perception of our business may reduce our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. Further, the market for our common stock is limited and we cannot assure you that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, these factors may make it more difficult or impossible for you to sell our common stock for a positive return on your investment.

Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our outstanding stock options and warrants may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

As of March 15, 2011, we had outstanding under our 2004 Stock Option Plan and 2008 Incentive Stock Plan stock options to purchase 5,228,756 shares of common stock and outstanding warrants to purchase 1,415,423 shares of common stock (for which cash would need to be remitted to us for exercise). The exercise of the stock options and warrants and the sales of common stock issuable pursuant to them, would reduce a stockholder’s percentage voting and ownership interest in our company.  The stock options and warrants are likely to be exercised when our common stock is trading at a price that is higher than the exercise price of these stock options and warrants.

The large number of shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The sale, or availability for sale, of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities. As of March 15, 2011, there were 37,937,010 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Substantially all of these shares are freely transferable. Our executive officers and directors own (of record) approximately 3,838,298 shares of common stock, or 10.12% of our outstanding shares, which would be eligible for resale, subject to the volume and manner of sale limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Our shares of common stock are traded on more than one exchange and this may result in price variations.

Our common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the Prague Stock Exchange. The trading prices of our shares on these two exchanges may differ due to spreads between functional trading currencies, different trading hours and other factors, and this may cause confusion to investors seeking to buy or sell our shares.

We have provisions in our certificate of incorporation that substantially eliminate the personal liability of members of our board of directors for violations of their fiduciary duty of care as a director and that allow us to indemnify our officers and directors. This could make it very difficult for you to bring any legal actions against our directors for such violations or could require us to pay any amounts incurred by our directors in any such actions.

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, members of our board of directors will have no liability for violations of their fiduciary duty of care as a director, except in limited circumstances. This means that you may be unable to prevail in a legal action against our directors even if you believe they have breached their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, our certificate of incorporation allows us to indemnify our directors from and against any and all expenses or liabilities arising from or in connection with their serving in such capacities with us. This means that if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers, in all likelihood we would be required to pay any expenses they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement they otherwise would be required to pay.

Since some members of our board of directors are not residents of the United States and certain of our assets are located outside of the United States, you may not be able to enforce any U.S. judgment for claims you may bring against such directors or assets.

Three members of our board of directors are primary residents of Australia or the United Kingdom, and a material portion of our assets and a substantial portion of the assets of these directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be more difficult for you to enforce a lawsuit within the United States against these non-U.S. residents than if they were residents of the United States. Also, it may be more difficult for you to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against our assets or the assets of our non-U.S. resident directors located outside the United States than if these assets were located within the United States. We cannot assure you that foreign courts would enforce liabilities predicated on U.S. federal securities laws in original actions commenced in such foreign jurisdiction, or judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws.
 
 
24

 

Our officers and directors have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of other stockholders.

Our executive officers and directors currently beneficially own 11.28% of our common stock. If these stockholders act together, they will be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of our stockholders.

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future; you should not buy our stock if you expect dividends.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. You should not buy our stock if you are expecting to receive cash dividends.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

Other than as set forth below, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business.

In December 2007, two former consultants of ROO Media Corporation (ROO Media) (currently KIT Media Corporation) sued that entity together with ROO Group, Inc. (now KIT digital, Inc.) and its founder and former Vice Chairman and ROO Media’s former President and Chief Operating Officer in New York Supreme Court, New York County, New York, alleging breach of an oral employment agreement, fraudulent inducement and other claims relating to the plaintiffs’ employment at ROO Media. In March 2009, the court dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims except their breach of contract claim on the grounds that it is based on an alleged oral agreement, which plaintiffs may be able to prove. Defendants have answered the complaint, denying liability, and the case is now in discovery. We believe that there is no merit to this suit, and we intend to continue to defend vigorously.
 
In November 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary, ROO HD, Inc., now KIT HD, Inc. (“KIT HD”), was named as the defendant in a purported class action lawsuit entitled Julie Vittengl et al. vs. ROO HD, Inc., in New York Supreme Court, Saratoga County, New York.  The suit, brought by four former employees of Wurld Media, Inc. (“Wurld”), purportedly on behalf of themselves and “others similarly situated,” claims that KIT HD’s acquisition of certain assets of Wurld was a fraudulent conveyance and that KIT HD is the alter-ego of Wurld.  Plaintiffs seek the appointment of a receiver to take charge of our property in constructive trust for plaintiffs and payment of plaintiffs’ unpaid wages and costs of suit, both in an unspecified dollar amount.  KIT HD filed its answer to the complaint in January 2008. In December 2009, plaintiffs served an amended complaint, dropping the class action allegations and adding us as a defendant; otherwise, it is essentially the same as its predecessor.  In February 2010, we and KIT HD answered the amended complaint, and the case may shortly enter into discovery. We believe that the suit is without merit, and we and KIT HD intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
 
 
26

 
 
In May 2009, a former employee of Wurld filed suit against ten shareholders of Wurld, Wurld, ROO HD (now KIT HD), and ROO Group, Inc. (now KIT digital, Inc.), in New York Supreme Court, Albany County, New York.  Plaintiff seeks to hold the ten largest shareholders of Wurld liable under Business Corporation Law § 630, for $100 in wages that Wurld allegedly failed to pay plaintiff.  She further asserts a variety of claims based on the allegation that KIT HD’s acquisition of certain assets of Wurld was a fraudulent conveyance, and that KIT HD is the successor to Wurld and liable for Wurld’s debts.  Based on these allegations, plaintiff seeks payment of her wages, the (unspecified) fair market value of her shares of stock in Wurld, rescission of the asset purchase agreement between Wurld and KIT HD, plus attorney’s fees.  In October 2009, the court dismissed plaintiff's claims against three shareholder/defendants on the grounds that BCL § 630 does not apply to Wurld because it is not a New York corporation, a decision that plaintiff is appealing. We and KIT HD have been served and answered, and the case is now in discovery.  We believe that this lawsuit is without merit, and if necessary we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report

In this section, all dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

Overview

We are a premium provider of end-to-end video asset management software (VAMS) and related services. The KIT Platform, our cloud-based solution delivered primarily in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, enables over 2,000 media distributor, enterprise and network operator clients to create, manage and deliver multi-screen video and social engagement experiences to audiences wherever they are.  With deep experience that runs the gamut from traditional broadcast systems engineering to “over-the-top” (OTT) social video applications, we are uniquely positioned to deliver truly complete video solutions, from the lens of the camera to the eye of the audience (“lens to lens”), and guide our clients into the future of Internet Protocol (IP)-based interactive media. Our clients’ use of the KIT Platform includes end-consumer focused live and on-demand video distribution, as well as internal corporate deployments, including corporate communications, human resources, training, security and surveillance.

In addition to our KIT Platform solutions, we offer a range of related professional services supporting the wider value chain of video with a focus on systems integration for the capture, transcoding, storage, editing and play-out of video in film, television and other broadcasting environments.  We also provide content services (such as localization and packaging) and advanced digital marketing services. We estimate that over 70% of our current revenues are generated by KIT Platform-related fees, with the remainder directly related to professional services. For KIT Platform use, we generally invoice customers monthly, and occasionally on a quarterly basis. For our professional services, we bill either on an hourly or project basis. We currently provide our software solutions and professional services internationally through our operational headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic, and our principal offices in Atlanta, Cambridge (UK), Chennai, Cologne, Dubai, London, Melbourne (Australia), Mumbai, New York, Paris, San Francisco and Stockholm. We have 9 other sales representative offices in an additional 7 countries.

As of March 15, 2011, our customer base consisted of 2,000+ enterprise customers from over 40 countries, including Airbus, American Express, The Associated Press, BBC, Best Buy, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Disney-ABC, ESPN Star, FedEx, General Motors, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Home Depot, IMG Worldwide, MediaCorp, Microsoft, MTV, NBC Universal, News Corp, Telefónica, Verizon, Vodafone and Volkswagen. Our clients usually enter into long-term contracts

We align our business and the solutions we offer into three primary vertical industry segments: (i) media distributors, (ii) general corporate enterprises and (iii) network operators. We manage our business across three major geographical profit and loss centers: (i) Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), (ii) the Americas, and (iii) Asia-Pacific. We estimate that, as of March 15, 2011, approximately 40%, 35% and 25% of our current revenues are generated in EMEA, the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively.

Our success is driven primarily by our ability to attract new customers and to continue to develop our software suite. Our customers are typically large global corporations that are seeking software management tools for consumer-focused video distribution or internal corporate video use. Our revenue model consists of on-demand software subscription license fees, software usage fees, upfront license fees and professional services fees. We estimate approximately 70% to 75% of our current revenues are generated by VX platform-related fees, with the remainder directly related to professional services. We typically invoice customers on a monthly basis for the SaaS fees and by the hour or project for professional services fees.

Set forth below is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of our company, KIT digital, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all the wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of KIT digital, Inc.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The policies discussed below are considered by our management to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on our management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on our estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described below. For these policies, our management cautions that future events rarely develop as forecast, and that best estimates may routinely require adjustment.

The SEC has issued cautionary advice to elicit more precise disclosure about accounting policies management believes are most critical in portraying our financial results and in requiring management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments and estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, the most significant of which include establishing allowances for doubtful accounts and determining the recoverability of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets. The basis for our estimates are historical experience and various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, given the available information at the time of the estimate, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from the amounts estimated and recorded in our financial statements.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
29

 

Revenue Recognition.  We recognize revenue in accordance with the accounting standard, which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. We recognize revenue, net of sales taxes assessed by any governmental authority.  The Company’s material revenue streams are related to the delivery of IP video software solutions, including software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) fees, software usage fees, enterprise license fees, set-up/support services, storage, hardware components, content delivery and content syndication. Our solutions also include technical integration services, interface design, branding, strategic planning, creative production, online marketing, media planning and analytics. The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of components and services due to the needs of its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services has been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sale price is reasonably assured. In addition to these general revenue recognition criteria, the following specific revenue recognition policies are followed:

Multiple-Element Arrangements — Arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including any combination of components and services and make up less than 20% of our revenue arrangements. For the Company’s multiple-element arrangements, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered element(s) have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in the control of the Company. Based on the new accounting guidance adopted July 1, 2010 and applied retrospectively to January 1, 2010, revenue is then allocated to each unit of accounting based on the estimated selling price determined using a hierarchy of evidence based first on Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) if it exists, based next on Third-Party Evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE does not exist, and finally, if both VSOE and TPE do not exist, based on best estimate of selling price (“BESP”). The general timing of the delivery of components and performance of services within our multiple-element arrangements are completed within three to six months of commencement. The Companys arrangements generally do not include any provisions for cancellation, termination, or refunds that would impact recognized revenue.

The Company determines BESP for a deliverable in a multiple element arrangement by collecting all reasonably available data points including sales, cost and margin analysis of the product, and other inputs based on the Company’s normal pricing practices. The Company has experience selling components, installation and integration services at a standard combined price and considers this to be BESP when contracting with customers. The determination of BESP is a formal process within the Company that includes review and approval by the Company’s management.

After determination of the estimated selling price of each deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement, the arrangement consideration is then allocated using the relative selling price method. Under the relative selling price method, the estimated selling price for each deliverable is compared to the sum of the estimated selling price for all deliverables. The percentage that is calculated for each deliverable is then multiplied by the total contractual value of the multiple-element arrangement to determine the revenue allocated to each deliverable.

The revenue allocated to each deliverable will then be recorded in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance for stand-alone component sales and services.

Services — Revenue for services is generally recognized at completion of the contractually required services.

Hardware Components — For hardware component sales (one deliverable only), revenue recognition generally occurs when products or equipment have been shipped, risk of loss has transferred to the customer, objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions have been met, no significant obligations remain and an allowance for discounts, returns and customer incentives can be reliably estimated. Recorded revenues are reduced by these allowances. The Company bases its estimates of these allowances on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the specific type of transaction in each arrangement.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the expected collectability of our accounts receivable, which requires a considerable amount of judgment in assessing the creditworthiness of customers and related aging of past due balances. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1023 and $874, respectively. Charges for bad debts recorded on the statement of operations were $875 in 2010 and $461 in 2009. Based on historical information, we believe that our allowance is adequate. Changes in general economic, business and market conditions could result in an impairment in the ability of our customers to make their required payments, which would have an adverse effect on cash flows and our results of operations.

Impairment of Goodwill. We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill annually at the end of December and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Accounting standard on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, we compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, step two is completed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. Step two requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Any remaining unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding carrying value of goodwill to compute the goodwill impairment amount.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. Our reporting units are consistent with our operating segments, which include Digital Media Solutions and Professional Services. We did not report financial information for these operating segments in 2009 and 2010 as the Professional Services segment represented less than 10% of our total assets and revenues in 2009 and less than 5% of our total assets and revenues in 2010. In 2010, we continued to evaluate our goodwill for impairment using these two reporting units. The carrying value of goodwill of each business combination was assigned to one of these reporting units as of the acquisition date. We completed our annual evaluation of goodwill by reporting unit as of December 31, 2010. Our assessment of goodwill impairment indicated that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded its carrying value and therefore goodwill in each of the reporting units was not impaired. The fair value of these reporting units exceeded its carrying value by at least 32% as of December 31, 2010 as compared to at least 763% as of December 31, 2009.

As part of our impairment analysis for each reporting unit, we estimate the fair value of each unit utilizing the income approach and market approach. The income approach requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, discount rates, and the allocation of shared service or corporate items. The market approach was used as a test of reasonableness of the conclusions reached in the income approach. The market approach estimates fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping.

The determination of the fair value of the reporting units and the allocation of that value to individual assets and liabilities within those reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete; the discount rate; terminal growth rates; and forecasts of net sales, operating income, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures. Although we believe our estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting units. We also compared the sum of the estimated fair values of the reporting units to our total enterprise value as implied by the market value of our equity securities. This comparison indicated that, in total, our assumptions and estimates were not unreasonable. However, future declines in the overall market value of our equity securities may indicate that the fair value of one or more reporting units has declined below their carrying value.

Long-Lived Assets.  Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with determinable lives, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed if the undiscounted expected future cash flows generated from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value. The estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets are periodically reviewed and revised if necessary.

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenue.  Consolidated revenue increased by $59,313 from $47,284 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $106,597 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 125%. The increase is principally due to an increase in customers, increased spending by existing customers, and revenue from the acquired companies not included in prior period results. This increase includes organic growth of approximately 40%. In 2010, our average monthly revenue per client increased, reflecting the company’s focus on higher-end opportunities in the market and large, multi-year contracts in emerging geographies. The company’s client base has increased from 1,000 customers in 2009 to over 2,000 customers at present. The acquisitions that primarily contributed to inorganic revenue growth in 2010 over 2009 were Multicast (completed in March 2010) and Benchmark (completed in May 2010).
 
Variable and Direct Third Party Costs

Cost of Goods and Services (Exclusive of Depreciation shown separately below).  These costs increased by $21,771 from $15,584 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $37,355 for the year ended December 31, 2010. These costs represent the costs of equipment and services for the supply of digital media and IPTV solutions, services and components. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Benchmark in May 2010, Megahertz in September 2010, and Brickbox in September 2010 which provided digital video asset management solutions and broadcast video systems integration. The costs included in the year ended December 31, 2010 for these three acquisitions were $16,724. There was also an increase in these costs due to the increase in revenue over 2009, not including the acquisitions. These costs will continue to increase in 2011 due to the increase in the sale of services for the supply of digital media solutions, services and components, but overall our total gross margin is expected to increase due to our overall revenue mix.

Hosting, Delivery and Reporting.  These costs increased by $2,888 from $1,547 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $4,435 for the year ended December 31, 2010 an increase of 187%. These costs increased primarily due to the increase in revenue over 2009 and the acquisitions of Multicast in March 2010 and Feedroom and Nunet in October 2010. These acquisitions increased the overall number of data centers which in turn increased related costs. We expect these costs to decrease as an overall percentage of revenue through the continued consolidation of our data centers and price negotiations with our content delivery providers due to our increased size and bargaining power.
 
 
31

 

Content Costs.  Content costs decreased by $412 from $1,378 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $966 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of 30%. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction of the use of content in integrated sales activity and therefore the subsequent reduction in usage and the level of minimum guarantees paid for content.

Direct Third Party Creative Production Costs.  Direct third party creative production costs increased by $176 from $3,211 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $3,387 for the year ended December 31, 2009. These costs remained materially the same but can vary from period to period depending on the number of projects that include these types of costs. We do not expect these costs to materially change in 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Compensation, Travel and Associated Costs (Including Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation).  These costs increased by $14,732 from $16,309 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $31,041 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 90%. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions in 2010 and October 2009, which is offset in part by continuing cost cutting measures as we integrate the acquired businesses and some of these costs are included in restructuring and integration expenses. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense increased by $2,783, from $1,922 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $4,705 for the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to the increase in stock options granted in 2010. We expect these costs to increase in 2011 due to our increased scale, but we expect these costs to remain materially the same as a percentage of revenue.

Legal, Accounting, Audit and Other Professional Services Fees.  These expenses increased by $1,773 from $1,097 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $2,870 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 162%. These costs increased primarily due to increases in accounting and audit fees due to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(b) combined with an overall increase in these expenses from the acquisitions in 2010 and October 2009. We expect these absolute costs to remain materially the same but decrease as a percentage of revenue due to an overall strategy to maintain these overall costs by negotiation of consulting agreements and by moving some of these functions in-house.

Office, Marketing and Other Corporate Costs.  These expenses increased by $7,794 from $5,131 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $12,925 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 152%. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions in 2010 and October 2009 which increased our number of offices and overall office costs. We expect these costs as a percentage of revenue to decrease in 2011 as we consolidate office space and manage our office costs through cost-cutting policies and negotiations with vendors.

Merger and Acquisition and Investor Relation Expenses.  These expenses increased by $2,942 from $2,506 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $5,448 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 117%. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions in 2010. We expect these costs to increase further due to the number of relatively large acquisitions announced or expected to occur in 2011.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased 104% or $4,166 from $4,202 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $8,368 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions in 2010 and October 2009. We expect these expenses to increase further in 2011 due to tangible and intangible assets from recent acquisitions.

Restructuring Charges.  These expenses increased by $932 from $2,549 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $3,481 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 37%. Restructuring charges consist of employee termination costs, contract settlements and facility closing costs. We expect these costs to increase further in 2011 due to the number of relatively large acquisitions and consequent restructuring plans.

Integration Expenses .  These expenses increased by $12,110 from $4,429 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $16,539 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 273%. Integration expenses consist of IT overlap, recruiting costs, relocation of headquarters, corporate rebranding activities due to acquisitions and relocations during the year.  Integration expenses consist of cost overlap due to the integration of acquisitions. We expect these costs to remain at similar levels as a percentage of revenues as a result of the plan to fully integrate acquired businesses by the third quarter of 2011 .

Impairment of Intangible Asset.  Impairment of intangible asset was $500 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $438 for the year ended December 31, 2010. In 2009, we determined that customer lists from the acquisition of Kamera in May 2008 were impaired and therefore recorded a reduction of $500 to the intangible asset. In 2010, we determined that customer lists from the acquisition of Visual in October 2008 are impaired due to the sale of a portion of the business and therefore recorded a reduction of $438 to the intangible asset.

Interest Income.  Interest income increased by $32 from $50 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $82 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to fluctuations in the level of our cash and cash equivalents.
 
 
32

 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased by $341 from $519 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $860 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 66%. This increase was mainly due to the issuance of secured notes in April and June of 2010.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discount.  Amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount was $52 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $1,175 for the year ended December 31, 2009. These 2010 costs resulted from the issuance of secured notes payable of $5,000 in April 2010 and $1,000 in June 2010. These 2009 costs resulted from the issuance of $1,500 of a senior secured note in November 2008 and interim convertible promissory notes payable of $3,350 to KIT Media Ltd. and $350 to Granahan McCourt Capital, LLC during the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The convertible promissory notes were repaid from the proceeds of the public offering in August 2009 and hence any remaining deferred financing costs or debt discount was written off.

Derivative expense.  Derivative expense was $12,891 and $6,015 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Under ASC 815-40, the company recorded an increase in the fair value of warrants containing reset provisions. The value of our derivatives vary based on a number of factors but in 2011 the number of these derivative instruments has decreased dramatically and we do not plan on issuing any additional derivative instruments.

Other Income/(Expense).  Other income/(expense) increased by a net $355. Other expense was $10 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to other expense of $365 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Included in 2010 is a loss on disposal of $632 that related to the sale of subsidiary and is calculated as the proportional amount of the reporting unit value at December 31, 2010.

Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders.  As a result of the factors described above, we reported net loss available to common shareholders of $34,260 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to net loss of $19,942 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

2011 Outlook

In 2011, we anticipate higher revenue as compared to 2010 primarily due to: (i) the continued increase in organic growth from new customers and up-selling and cross-selling opportunities in both our existing client base and expanded client base from acquisitions, (ii) our acquisitions in both 2010 and 2011, (iii) our continued geographic expansion, including a major strategic focus to increase in the BRIC markets, and (iv) our increased focus on major media and network operator clients globally.
 
With the acquisitions completed in early 2011 and our other planned acquisition activity, coupled with our expected organic growth in 2011, we should reach a level at or close to the overall market share target we have set for ourselves in the near-term. Thus, we intend to have completed the intensive “consolidation phase” of our multi-year strategic plan during the course of 2011, moving us into a phase of corporate development in 2012 and beyond which is centered on organic growth. By the end of the third quarter of 2011, we anticipate having completed substantially all of the restructuring and integration costs from recent acquisitions. As such, we anticipate increased operating margin performance in 2011 as compared to 2010 before restructuring charges and integration expenses due to (i) the completion of restructuring and integration costs from acquisitions in the first half of 2011, (ii) completion of major acquisition activity and (iii) anticipated organic increases in revenue, as noted above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $141,233 and a working capital surplus of approximately $142,838. We planned to use net proceeds of the most recent equity offering to primarily finance the costs of acquiring or investing in competitive and complementary businesses, products and technologies as a part of our growth strategy. In the first quarter of 2011, we have invested $19,612 of cash in the acquisitions of KickApps, Kewego and Kyte and have signed a definitive agreement to spend $17,200 in guaranteed cash payments for the acquisition of Polymedia. Management anticipates that it has enough cash reserves and will generate sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to fund its operations, anticipated capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations for at least the next 12 months.

Our ability to meet our short and long-term liquidity needs depends on our future operating performance and on economic, financial, competitive and other factors. See “Risks Related to Our Business” under Item 1A. Risk Factors for more detail. Our financial projections are based on assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but contain significant uncertainties. These projections include an increase in revenue, improved operating margins and significant decreases in costs related to the restructuring and integration of acquired companies.

Net cash used in operating activities was $30,228 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $13,618 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $16,610 or 122%.  This is principally due to the increase in the cost overlap due to the integration of acquisitions.
 
Net cash used by investing activities was $22,363 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $9,723 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a increase in net cash used in investing activities of $12,640, or 130%. In 2010, this primarily consists of net cash paid for acquisitions of $19,533, $2,000 paid into a restricted cash account and purchase of assets of fixed assets of $2,647. In 2009, this primarily consisted of net cash paid for the acquisitions or earn-out payments for acquisitions of $6,998, purchase of assets of $1,078 and purchase of software of $1,500.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $189,046 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $24,576 for the year ended December 31, 2009. In 2010, this primarily consisted of net proceeds of $209,554 offset by payments for the buyback of warrants of $23,869. In 2009, this primarily consisted of net proceeds of $26,082 from the August 2009 private placement.

33

 

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

            In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update on Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, which changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality will no longer be within the scope of Software Revenue Recognition. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update on Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements and requires that the overall arrangement consideration be allocated to each deliverable in a revenue arrangement based on an estimated selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of fair value is not available. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The Company adopted this new standard during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and it has been applied retrospectively to January 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on prior results, but will impact how these arrangements will be recognized prospectively.

The new guidance changes the criteria required to (1) separate deliverables into separate units of accounting when deliverables are sold in a bundled arrangement and (2) to allocate the arrangement’s consideration to each unit in the arrangement (such as, equipment, installation or commissioning services). Entities are now required to determine an estimated selling price for each separate deliverable following a hierarchy of evidence — Vendor-specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”), Third Party Evidence (“TPE”) and, if VSOE and TPE do not exist, best estimate of selling price (“BESP”).

In December 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for business combinations specifically related to the disclosures of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. This guidance specifies that pro forma disclosures should be reported as if the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period and the pro forma disclosures must include a description of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. This standard will be effective for business combinations with an acquisition date of January 1, 2011 or later. The adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We conduct our operations in primary functional currencies: the United States dollar, the Euro, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Swedish krona and the Czech koruna. We currently do not hedge any of our foreign currency exposures and are therefore subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. However, we attempt to employ a “natural hedge” by matching as much as possible in like currencies our customer revenues with associated customer delivery costs. We invoice our international customers primarily in U.S. dollars, British pounds, Australian dollars, Euros, Swedish kronor and Czech koruna.

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation and as our foreign currency consumer receipts are converted into U.S. dollars. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations also arises from payables and receivables to and from our foreign subsidiaries, vendors and customers.

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. We endeavor to place our cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions to limit credit exposure. We have obtained callable cash collateral wherever we have identified credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
 
 
34

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the wide variety of our customers who are dispersed across many geographic regions. We routinely assess the financial strength of customers and, based upon factors concerning credit risk, we establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Our management believes that accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The response to this item is submitted as a separate section of this report beginning on page F-1.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not applicable.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The management of KIT digital, Inc. (the “Company”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:

1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;

2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not include internal control over financial reporting of Accela Communications, Inc, Megahertz Broadcast Systems, and Brickbox Digital Media s.r.o., wholly owned subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 7 and 8 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010. Accela Communications, Inc, Megahertz Broadcast Systems, and Brickbox Digital Media s.r.o., were acquired during 2010 and therefore, management’s assertion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of Accela Communications, Inc, Megahertz Broadcast Systems, and Brickbox Digital Media s.r.o.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, as prescribed above, for the period covered by this report. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

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

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm have audited, and reported on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. This report appears on page 37.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As a result of increased market capitalization, acquisitions in during the fiscal year 2010 as well as an increase in business related to complex multi-element contracts, KIT engaged an outside firm to review and update its internal controls.  The evaluation was performed during the 2nd quarter and implementation of updated and new controls occurred during the 3rd quarter.  These new controls were evaluated reviewed and tested during the 3rd and 4th quarters.  The summary of enhancements and updates are as follows:

 
Enhanced global Human Resource entity level controls over employee communication and responsibility for internal controls as well as providing management with timely feedback on a confidential basis to take appropriate action.
 
Added a dedicated Global SOX Compliance Lead resource for coordinating implementation and execution of all procedures and controls.
 
Centralized global Human Resource function to control the on-boarding and termination process throughout all KIT offices around the world.
 
Organizing the controls into a regional structure for routine daily and transactional controls as well as reporting results to corporate finance for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
      Augmenting and updating revenue recognition controls for multi-element contracts.
 
Standardizing controls as well as financial statement close checklists and timeline across all regions and locations across the company.
      Updated procedures and controls ensuring consistency across the regions for spreadsheet review and approval.
      Implementing a secure global electronic filing system for ensuring consistency of valid reporting from the regions to corporate.
      Updating tax controls to reflect the expanded global nature of the business.
      Updated all controls to reflect recent FASB Codification of standards and pronouncements
      IT General Controls across the global infrastructure of KIT as it relates to financial reporting
      Change management controls over development and implementation of systems that are relevant to financial reporting.
 
Controls and procedures to ensure that information and communication between corporate and the regions related to reporting in accordance with US GAAP is properly facilitated.
      Created standardized global controls for treasury, banking and cash management for corporate and all regions.
      Updated delegation of authority as well as acquisition related controls for corporate and all regions.
      Updated controls over goodwill as well as other intangibles related to acquisitions.
      Updated management test plans to obtain testing coverage for each region based for control objectives to be achieved.

Management believes the internal control changes summarized above were necessary and significant to meet the needs of the continued growth of KIT through acquisitions and organically.  The primary objective achieved by updating the internal controls is to standardize and streamline compliance across all KIT offices around the world as well as for producing monthly and quarterly financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.  The combined effect of the implementation of the enhanced and revised internal controls is not expected to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
KIT digital, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited KIT digital, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) and Subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assertion of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Management’s Report). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. Our audit of, and opinion on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not include internal control over financial reporting of Accela Communications, Inc, Megahertz Broadcast Systems, and Brickbox Digital Media s.r.o., wholly owned subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 7 and 8 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010. As indicated in Management’s Report, Accela Communications, Inc, Megahertz Broadcast Systems, and Brickbox Digital Media s.r.o., were acquired during 2010 and therefore, management’s assertion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of Accela Communications, Inc, Megahertz Broadcast Systems, and Brickbox Digital Media s.r.o.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

In our opinion, KIT digital Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of KIT digital, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and our report dated March 16, 2011expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Director Independence

The board of directors has determined that Messrs. Hart, Kroijer, Mullin, Politi and Walker are “independent,” as independence is defined in the listing standards for the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Accordingly, five of the nine directors are independent.  Although Mr. Hart is a board member of KIT Media, one of our largest single stockholders, he is neither a controlling shareholder nor employee of KIT Media, and is not disqualified under Nasdaq’s independence standards from being considered an independent director by us.

Board Leadership Structure

Kaleil Isaza Tuzman has been our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since December 2007 when Mr. Isaza Tuzman, through entities controlled by him, made a significant investment in our company and assumed management control of the company.  We believe that having one person, particularly Mr. Isaza Tuzman with his wealth of industry and executive management experience, his extensive knowledge of the operations of the company and his own history of innovation and strategic thinking, serve as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman is the best leadership structure for us because it demonstrates to our employees, customers and stockholders that the company is under strong leadership, with a single person setting the tone and having primary responsibility for managing our operations. This unity of leadership promotes strategy development and execution, timely decision-making and effective management of our resources. We believe that we have been well-served by this structure.

As described above, five of our nine directors are independent.  In addition, all of the directors on each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee are independent directors and each of these committees is led by a committee chair.  The committee chairs set the agendas for their committees and report to the full board on their work.   We do not have a lead independent director, but, as required by Nasdaq, our independent directors meet in executive session without management present as frequently as they deem appropriate, typically at the time of each regular in-person board meeting.  All of our independent directors are highly accomplished and experienced business people in their respective fields, who have demonstrated leadership in significant enterprises and are familiar with board processes.  Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside the company and industry, while our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Messrs. Campion, Smyth and Williams bring company-specific experience and expertise.

Risk Oversight

While the board of directors is responsible for overseeing our risk management, the board has delegated many of these functions to the Audit Committee.  Under its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for discussing with management and the independent auditors our major financial risk exposures, the guidelines and policies by which risk assessment and management is undertaken, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control risk exposure.  In addition to the Audit Committee’s work in overseeing risk management, the full board regularly engages in discussions of the most significant risks that we are facing and how those risks are being managed, and the board receives reports on risk management from senior officers of the company and from the chair of the Audit Committee.  In addition, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s extensive knowledge of the company uniquely qualifies him to lead the board in assessing risks.  The board of directors believes that the work undertaken by the Audit Committee, the full board and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, enables the board to effectively oversee our risk management function.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised of three non-employee directors, each of whom is independent as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. The board of directors has determined that each committee member qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The Audit Committee functions pursuant to a written charter, under which the committee has such powers as may be assigned to it by the board from time to time. The Audit Committee was established in 2008. In 2007 and until the formation of the Audit Committee in 2008, the entire board of directors performed the functions of the Audit Committee.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is comprised of three non-employee directors, each of whom is independent as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Compensation Committee functions pursuant to a written charter, under which the committee has such powers as may be assigned to it by the board from time to time. The Compensation Committee was established in 2008. In 2007 and until the formation of the Compensation Committee in 2008, the entire board of directors performed the functions of the Compensation Committee.

In general, the Compensation Committee formulates and recommends compensation policies for board approval, oversees and implements these board-approved policies, and keeps the board apprised of its activities on a regular basis. In addition, the Compensation Committee together with the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee, develops criteria to assist the board's assessment of the Chief Executive Officer's leadership of our company.
 
 
44

 

Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of three non-employee directors, each of whom is independent as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee functions pursuant to a written charter, under which the committee has such powers as may be assigned to it by the board from time to time. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee was established in 2008. In 2007 and until the formation of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee in 2008, the entire board of directors performed the functions of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director recommended by our stockholders.

The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the Company’s qualification and nomination of potential board members. Pursuant to the committee’s charter, the Nominations Committee reviews the qualities and skills of prospective members of the board of directors and generally requires that director candidates be qualified individuals who, if added to the board of directors, would provide the mix of director characteristics, experience, perspectives and skills appropriate for our company. Criteria for selection of candidates include, but are not limited to: (i) business and financial acumen, as determined by the independent directors in their discretion, (ii) qualities reflecting a proven record of accomplishment and ability to work with others, (iii) knowledge of our industry, (iv) relevant experience and knowledge of corporate governance practices, and (v) expertise in an area relevant to us. Potential board members should not have commitments that would conflict with the time commitments of a director of the company.

While we do not have a formal diversity policy for board membership, the board does seek to ensure that its membership consists of sufficiently diverse backgrounds, meaning a mix of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the board’s deliberations and decisions.  In considering candidates for the board, the independent directors consider, among other factors, diversity with respect to viewpoints, skills, experience and other demographics.

Technology and Product Development Committee

In July 2010, the board of directors established a Technology and Product Development Committee.  The principal functions of this committee are to monitor and review our product technology strategy and major product development-related expenditures and initiatives in support of our evolving global business needs.  The committee, which may include management directors and individuals who are not directors, is currently composed of Messrs. Williams (Chairman), Hart and Campion.

Mergers and Acquisitions Committee

In August 2010, the board of directors established a Mergers and Acquisitions Committee. The principal functions of this committee are to review and assess, and assist the board in reviewing and assessing, potential mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, divestitures and joint ventures. The committee, which may include management directors and individuals who are not directors, is currently composed of Messrs. Hart (Chairman), Kroijer, Mullin and Politi.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership and changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us or written or oral representations that no other reports were required, we believe that during 2010, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

Employment and Management Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

KIT Capital Management Agreement.  During 2010 and 2009, the managerial services of Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and two non-executive personnel, were provided to us through KIT Capital, which is beneficially controlled by Mr. Isaza Tuzman. For these services, we paid KIT Capital aggregate fees of $418,750 in 2010 and $477,750 in 2009 for these three individuals, of which $286, 438 in 2010 and $277,789 in 2009 was paid to Mr. Isaza Tuzman and the remainder to other KIT Capital personnel dedicated full-time to KIT digital, as well as for employer taxes, healthcare costs, corporate fees and other expenses related to KIT Capital’s work with KIT digital.

Under the Executive Management Agreement with KIT Capital, dated as of December 18, 2007, the services of Mr. Isaza Tuzman and two non-executive personnel have been provided to us and our subsidiaries at an initial monthly rate of $50,800, with an incentive bonus equal to the greater of (i) the preceding 12 months’ base compensation or (ii) the previous month’s monthly installment of base compensation multiplied by 12 if we achieve two consecutive quarters of profitability or our total monthly revenue equals or exceeds $6.0 million. The Management Agreement commenced on January 9, 2008 and expired on January 9, 2011, unless sooner terminated or extended by mutual agreement. This agreement has been extended until May 15, 2011 to facilitate discussions with respect to renewing the agreement or entering into a similar agreement.

Under the Management Agreement, we issued to KIT Capital stock options to purchase 60,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.11 per share, of which 20,000 options vested as of January 9, 2008, and the remainder vest in equal monthly increments over a period of three years. We also established a “phantom” stock plan, pursuant to which we granted “phantom” shares equal to 60,000 shares of common stock vesting in equal monthly increments over a three-year period.

In addition, under the Management Agreement, KIT Capital received the right to: (a) purchase up to 5,100,000 shares of series A preferred stock from the holders of such shares; (b) purchase from us (i) up to $5.0 million of our common stock at a price per share of no higher than a 15% premium to the closing price of the common stock on December 18, 2007, and (ii) up to an additional $10.0 million of our common stock at a price not exceeding 90% of the five-day trailing weighted average trading price of the common stock at the time of purchase; and (c) include any such purchased shares of preferred stock and common stock in a registration statement filed by us with the SEC.

Notwithstanding these agreements, subsequent to the date of the Management Agreement, (a) we effected the automatic conversion of all then outstanding shares of series A preferred stock into 11,429 shares of common stock, thereby preventing KIT Capital from purchasing such shares, (b) we requested KIT Capital to waive its registration rights in respect of its purchase of 1,008,572 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a like number of shares in our May 2008 financing, and (c) at the recommendation of our financial advisor, KIT Capital waived its right to purchase an additional $10.0 million in securities due to the potential negative effect on the market price with such a large controlling stockholder. For facilitating these corporate actions and waiving its rights as described above, and for KIT Capital’s investment of $5.0 million at a time when similar third-party financing transactions were unavailable and we required such funds in connection with pending acquisition transactions, we issued to KIT Capital a warrant to purchase 580,358 shares of our common stock (representing 65% warrant coverage on KIT Capital’s investment, as compared to 100% warrant coverage in the May 2008 financing transaction), for a term of five years commencing on December 31, 2008, at an exercise price of $11.90 per share, subject to the occurrence of certain events that could potentially reduce the exercise price to $5.60 per share.

The Management Agreement provides that upon termination of the agreement or after the expiration date for any reason, except cause (as defined in the Management Agreement), we are required to pay KIT Capital, in addition to any other payments due, a cash severance payment equal to the greater of (i) the total amount paid to KIT Capital during the preceding 12 months, including base compensation and all bonuses, or (ii) the previous month’s installment of base compensation multiplied by 12.

KIT digital 2004 Stock Option Plan

In April 2004, our board of directors adopted a stock option plan (the 2004 Option Plan). Pursuant to this plan, which expires on April 1, 2014, incentive stock options or non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 28,572 shares of common stock may be issued, as adjusted. The plan may be administered by our board of directors or by a committee to which administration of the plan, or part of the plan, may be delegated by our board of directors. Options granted under this plan are not generally transferable by the optionee except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and are exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. Options granted under the plan vest in such increments as is determined by our board of directors or designated committee. To the extent that options are vested, they must be exercised within a maximum of three months of the end of the optionee's status as an employee, director or consultant, or within a maximum of 12 months after such optionee's termination or by death or disability, but in no event later than the expiration of the option term. The exercise price of all stock options granted under the plan will be determined by our board of directors or designated committee. With respect to any participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

In November 2006, our board of directors increased the number of shares which may be issued under the 2004 Option Plan to an aggregate of 228,572 shares of common stock. The number of shares subject to the 2004 Option Plan was subsequently increased to 342,858 shares effective April 3, 2007.

To date, we have 80,000 options outstanding under the 2004 Option Plan, as amended, of which all are issued to KIT Capital Our board of directors believes in order to attract and retain the services of executives and other key employees, it is necessary for us to have the ability and flexibility to provide a compensation package which compares favorably with those offered by other companies and, accordingly, voted unanimously to adopt the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan.

KIT digital 2008 Incentive Stock Plan

In March 2008, our board of directors adopted the KIT digital, Inc. 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (the 2008 Incentive Plan) and initially reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance. Our board of directors voted unanimously to adopt the amendment to the 2008 Incentive Plan, providing for an additional 457,143 shares of common stock available for future grants under the 2008 Incentive Plan. The holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approved the amendment to our 2008 Incentive Plan at our stockholders meeting held on November 6, 2008. In November 2009, our board of directors voted unanimously to increase the number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Incentive Plan by 2,642,857 to an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock, which was ratified by our stockholders at our annual stockholders meeting on September 30, 2010. In December 2010, our board of directors voted unanimously to increase the number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Incentive Plan by 1,500,000 to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock subject to ratification by our stockholders. Subsequently, as a result of acquisition activity, our board of directors authorized at the board meeting on March 5, 2011 to increase the number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Incentive Plan to a total of 6,000,000 shares, subject to ratification by our stockholders.

Set forth below is a summary of the 2008 Incentive Plan, but this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2008 Incentive Plan, which has been filed with the SEC, and any stockholder who wishes to obtain a copy of the 2008 Incentive Plan may do so by written request to KIT digital, Inc., 26 West 17th Street - 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10011, Attention: Mr. Robin Smyth, Chief Financial Officer.

Under the 2008 Incentive Plan, options may be granted which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options. In addition, direct grants of stock, restricted stock units or restricted stock may be awarded.

Purpose.  The primary purpose of the 2008 Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel in order to promote the success of our business and to facilitate the ownership of our stock by employees and others who provide services to us.

Administration.  The 2008 Incentive Plan is administered by our board of directors, provided that the board may delegate such administration to the Compensation Committee.

Eligibility.  Under the 2008 Incentive Plan, options may be granted to employees, officers, directors or consultants, as provided in the 2008 Incentive Plan.

Terms of Options.  The term of each option granted under the 2008 Incentive Plan will be contained in a stock option agreement between the optionee and us and such terms will be determined by the board of directors consistent with the provisions of the 2008 Incentive Plan, including the following:

 
Purchase Price.  The purchase price of the common stock subject to each incentive stock option will not be less than the fair market value (as set forth in the 2008 Incentive Plan), or in the case of the grant of an incentive stock option to a principal stockholder, not less that 110% of fair market value of such common stock at the time such option is granted.

 
Vesting.  The dates on which each option (or portion thereof) will be exercisable and the conditions precedent to such exercise, if any, will be fixed by the board of directors, in its discretion, at the time such option is granted. Unless otherwise provided in the grant agreement, in the event of a change of control (as set forth in the 2008 Incentive Plan), 50% of the vesting restrictions will terminate.

 
Expiration.  Any option granted to an employee will become exercisable over a period of no longer than five years. No option will in any event be exercisable after five years from, and no Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent stockholder will become exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of the option.

 
Transferability.  No option will be transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any option may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. No option granted under the 2008 Incentive Plan shall be subject to execution, attachment or other process.

Option Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding stock by reason of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger, or similar event, the board or the committee may adjust proportionally (a) the number of shares of common stock (i) reserved under the 2008 Incentive Plan, (ii) available for Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Options and (iii) covered by outstanding stock awards or restricted stock purchase offers; (b) the stock prices related to outstanding grants; and (c) the appropriate fair market value and other price determinations for such grants.

Termination, Modification and Amendment. The board may, insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, suspend or terminate the 2008 Incentive Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that without the approval of the stockholders, no such revision or amendment may (i) increase the number of shares subject to the 2008 Incentive Plan, (ii) decrease the price at which grants may be granted, (iii) materially increase the benefits to participants, or (iv) change the class of persons eligible to receive grants under the 2008 Incentive Plan; provided no such action may alter or impair the rights and obligations under any option, or stock award, or restricted stock purchase offer outstanding as of the date thereof without the written consent of the participant.

Directors Compensation

All directors are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties to us. With the exception of Messrs. Isaza Tuzman, Campion and Smyth (who instead receive compensation for their service as officers of our company), all directors receive compensation for their services. To date, we have compensated directors mostly through stock options granted under our incentive compensation plans. Directors receive the following compensation package:

 
Grant of stock options to purchase 8,143 shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2008 Incentive Stock Plan.

 
Annual compensation in the amount of $37,500, payable quarterly, which may be paid in either cash or stock options (priced using the “Black-Scholes-Merton” options pricing model), or a combination of both. The form of payment (i.e., cash, stock options or a combination) will be determined by us in our sole discretion; provided that if we are operating income (or EBITDA) positive in the preceding calendar year, such determination may be made by each independent director.

 
Fees of $2,000 per board meeting attended; $1,500 per committee meeting chaired; and $750 per committee meeting attended but not chaired. The foregoing fees will be discounted by 50% when meetings are attended or chaired telephonically. Payment will be made according to the same schedule and in the same manner as set forth in the paragraph above.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships And Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Other than the Executive Management Agreement described under “Compensation of Officers and Directors - Employment and Management Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements” below are transactions requiring disclosure between us and our related persons, promoters or control persons.

Each of the directors Gavin Campion, Daniel W. Hart, Lars Kroijer and Joseph E. Mullin III is a minority investor in KIT Media Ltd., one of our largest single stockholders controlled by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hart is also a board member of KIT Media.

Over a period of 60 days between June 2009 and August 2009, KIT Media made $3,350,000 available to us through an interim convertible promissory note bearing an 8% interest rate per annum and convertible into the next common stock offering under terms identical with other investors in the offering. In connection with our acquisition of certain assets of Narrowstep Inc. in April 2009, Granahan McCourt Capital, LLC, a stockholder of Narrowstep, loaned us $350,000, pursuant to a convertible promissory note on substantially the same terms as the KIT Media note described above. The KIT Media and Granahan McCourt notes payable were converted into common stock in our August 2009 public offering.  Together with its additional cash investment of $654,000, KIT Media purchased a total of 572,000 shares of common stock in our August 2009 public offering.  In a subsequent public offering completed in March 2010, KIT Media invested another $1,750,000, purchasing 179,856 shares of our common stock.  In a public offering in April 2010, KIT Capital invested $1,300,000, purchasing 100,000 shares of our common stock.  In each case, KIT Media and KIT Capital purchased shares at the same price and on the same terms as the other investors in the public offerings.

On March 7, 2010, our board of directors approved the repurchase of certain outstanding warrants with exercise prices below the then-current market price from certain warrant holders (who had acquired the warrants in May 2008 private placement financings), including KIT Media and Wellington Management Company (“Wellington”), an entity with greater than a 10% holding in KIT digital’s outstanding common stock at the time of the transaction. KIT Media and Wellington were at the time considered related parties of the Company. The terms of the warrant repurchase were identical for KIT Media and Wellington, and the negotiation of such terms was led by Wellington. The Company offered to purchase and cancel these warrants at 133% of the intrinsic value of the warrants (but because intrinsic value was based on a 20-day trailing volume weighted average price of the underlying common stock at the time, the ultimate purchase price of the warrants ended up being below the actual intrinsic value at the date of purchase.).  These warrants with anti-ratchet dilution provisions totaling 3,030,747 were cancelled effective on March 31, 2010. Total payments for the settlement of these warrants was $22,232,000 and a loss of $1,665,000 was recorded in the derivative expense in the statement of operations. These warrants were included in the warrant buyback liability as at March 31, 2010 and were paid after such date. We also repurchased and cancelled another 403,577 warrants with anti-ratchet dilution provisions during the year ended December 31, 2010, at varying prices, from parties other than KIT Media and Wellington, for $1,342,000.

In April 2010, the Company repurchased and cancelled a warrant to purchase 47,143 shares from Robin Smyth, our Chief Financial Officer. The terms of the warrant repurchase were identical to Wellington and KIT Media, the negotiation of which terms was led by Wellington, and has been described herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
KIT digital, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of KIT digital, Inc.  (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.   We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KIT digital, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements effective January 1, 2010 pursuant to the new accounting standard on “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.”
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), KIT digital Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KIT digital, Inc., and all its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain amounts included in the financial statements are estimated based on currently available information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions. Management makes estimates and assumptions for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, purchase price allocation, inventory reserves, tax assets and liabilities, useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, fair value of derivative liabilities, impairment of tangible and intangible assets and other contingencies.

Foreign Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities of KIT digital’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at period end exchange rates and related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the reporting periods. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - On January 1, 2008, we adopted the standard that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This standard defines fair value as the amount that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the types of inputs to valuation techniques that companies may use to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). The next highest priority is given to inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (Level 2). The lowest priority is given to unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available and which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).

The assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy are Investments and Derivative Liabilities. Investments are measured using active quoted market prices (Level 1). See Note 5 for fair value hierarchy on the Derivative Liabilities.

Risk Concentrations - Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions to limit credit exposure, and from time to time, obtain collateral for our accounts where we deem prudent and is feasible. We believe no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these investments. The amount of cash held in foreign currencies as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $8,617 and $2,272, respectively. The amount of cash in excess of FDIC insured amounts as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $139,185 and $6,541, respectively.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the nature of our customers who are dispersed across many industries and geographic regions. As of December 31, 2010, one customer accounted for approximately 11% of our trade accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2009, three customers accounted for approximately 39.6% of our trade accounts receivable. We routinely assess the financial strength of customers and, based upon factors concerning credit risk, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management believes that accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
 
Goodwill - We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill annually at the end of December and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Accounting standard on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, we compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, step two is completed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. Step two requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Any remaining unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding carrying value of goodwill to compute the goodwill impairment amount.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. Our reporting units are consistent with our operating segments, which include Digital Media Solutions and Professional Services. We did not report financial information for these operating segments in 2009 and 2010 as the Professional Services segment represented less than 10% of our total assets and revenues in 2009 and less than 5% of our total assets and revenues in 2010. In 2010, we continued to evaluate our goodwill for impairment using these two reporting units.  The carrying value of goodwill of each business combination was assigned to one of these reporting units as of the acquisition date. We completed our annual evaluation of goodwill by reporting unit as of December 31, 2010. Our assessment of goodwill impairment indicated that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded its carrying value and therefore goodwill in each of the reporting units was not impaired. The fair value of these reporting units exceeded its carrying value by at least 32% as of December 31, 2010 as compared to at least 763% as of December 31, 2009.

As part of our impairment analysis for each reporting unit, we estimate the fair value of each unit utilizing the income approach and market approach. The income approach requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, discount rates, and the allocation of shared service or corporate items. The market approach was used as a test of reasonableness of the conclusions reached in the income approach. The market approach estimates fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping.
 
The determination of the fair value of the reporting units and the allocation of that value to individual assets and liabilities within those reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete; the discount rate; terminal growth rates; and forecasts of net sales, operating income, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures. Although we believe our estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting units. We also compared the sum of the estimated fair values of the reporting units to our total enterprise value as implied by the market value of our equity securities. This comparison indicated that, in total, our assumptions and estimates were not unreasonable. However, future declines in the overall market value of our equity securities may indicate that the fair value of one or more reporting units has declined below their carrying value.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Long-Lived Assets – Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with determinable lives, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed if the undiscounted expected future cash flows generated from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value. The estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets are periodically reviewed and revised, if necessary.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $2,068 and $2,032, respectively, of cash equivalents in an account that pays interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. This account is guaranteed and backed by liquid collateral instruments, and can be redeemed with 14 days written notice.

Accounts Receivable - Trade accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. In addition, provisions are made at differing amounts, based upon the balance and age of the receivable and the Company’s historical collection experience. Trade accounts are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts or expense when it is probable the accounts will not be recovered. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,023 and $874, respectively.

Inventory - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and are comprised of finished goods. On a quarterly basis, we review inventory quantities on hand and analyze the provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on product age in inventory and our estimated sales forecast, which is based on sales history and anticipated future demand. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, our reserves for excess and obsolete inventory were $145 and $136, respectively.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line and declining balance methods of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from one year to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of its useful life or lease term. Routine maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred and renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reported in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes - We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Derivative Financial Instruments - Upon the adoption of a new standard effective January 1, 2009, certain of our financial instruments with “down-round” protection features are no longer considered indexed to our Company’s stock for purposes of determining whether they meet derivative accounting treatment. As such, these instruments no longer meet the conditions to obtain equity classification and are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value with changes in fair value reflected as income (expense). The fair value of the warrants issued was $15,736, $21,314 and $6,096 on January 1, 2009, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, respectively. See Note 5, “Derivative Liabilities” for further information.

Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with the accounting standard, which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. We recognize revenue, net of sales taxes assessed by any governmental authority.  The Company’s material revenue streams are related to the delivery of IP video software solutions, including software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) fees, software usage fees, enterprise license fees, set-up/support services, storage, hardware components, content delivery and content syndication. Our solutions also include technical integration services, interface design, branding, strategic planning, creative production, online marketing, media planning and analytics. The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of components and services due to the needs of its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services has been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sale price is reasonably assured. In addition to these general revenue recognition criteria, the following specific revenue recognition policies are followed:

Multiple-Element Arrangements — Arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including any combination of components and services and make up less than 20% of our revenue arrangements. For the Company’s multiple-element arrangements, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered element(s) have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in the control of the Company. Based on the new accounting guidance adopted July 1, 2010 and applied retroactively to January 1, 2010, revenue is then allocated to each unit of accounting based on the estimated selling price determined using a hierarchy of evidence based first on Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) if it exists, based next on Third-Party Evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE does not exist, and finally, if both VSOE and TPE do not exist, based on best estimate of selling price (“BESP”). The general timing of the delivery of components and performance of services within our multiple-element arrangements are completed within three to six months of commencement. The Company’s arrangements generally do not include any provisions for cancellation, termination, or refunds that would impact recognized revenue.

The Company determines BESP for a deliverable in a multiple element arrangement by collecting all reasonably available data points including sales, cost and margin analysis of the product, and other inputs based on the Company’s normal pricing practices. The Company has experience selling components, installation and integration services at a standard combined price and considers this to be BESP when contracting with customers. The determination of BESP is a formal process within the Company that includes review and approval by the Company’s management.

After determination of the estimated selling price of each deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement, the arrangement consideration is then allocated using the relative selling price method. Under the relative selling price method, the estimated selling price for each deliverable is compared to the sum of the estimated selling price for all deliverables. The percentage that is calculated for each deliverable is then multiplied by the total contractual value of the multiple-element arrangement to determine the revenue allocated to each deliverable.
 
The revenue allocated to each deliverable will then be recorded in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance for stand-alone component sales and services.
 
Services — Revenue for services is generally recognized at completion of the contractually required services.
 
Hardware Components — For hardware component sales (one deliverable only), revenue recognition generally occurs when products or equipment have been shipped, risk of loss has transferred to the customer, objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions have been met, no significant obligations remain and an allowance for discounts, returns and customer incentives can be reliably estimated. Recorded revenues are reduced by these allowances. The Company bases its estimates of these allowances on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the specific type of transaction in each arrangement.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Research and Development - Costs incurred in research and development are expensed as incurred and are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in compensation, travel and associated costs and office, marketing and other corporate costs. Software development costs are required to be capitalized when a product’s technological feasibility has been established through the date the product is available for general release to customers. We do not capitalize any software development costs, as technological feasibility is generally not established until a working model is completed, at which time substantially all development is complete.

Stock-Based Compensation - We record compensation expense for share-based awards issued to employees, directors and consultants in exchange for services provided. The amount of the compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of the awards on their grant dates and is recognized over the requisite service periods. Our share-based awards include stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to measure fair value of option and warrant awards. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make significant judgments regarding the assumptions used within the model, the most significant of which are the expected stock price volatility, the expected life of the option award, the risk-free rate of return and dividends during the expected term.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share - We compute net income (loss) per common share under the provisions of the accounting standard which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. It requires us to report both basic net (loss) income per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net (loss) income per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. All equivalent shares underlying options, warrants and unvested restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because we had net losses for all periods presented and therefore equivalent shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements –    In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update on Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, which changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality will no longer be within the scope of Software Revenue Recognition. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update on Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements and requires that the overall arrangement consideration be allocated to each deliverable in a revenue arrangement based on an estimated selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of fair value is not available. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The Company adopted this new standard during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and it has been applied retrospectively to January 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on prior results, but will impact how these arrangements will be recognized prospectively.

The new guidance changes the criteria required to (1) separate deliverables into separate units of accounting when deliverables are sold in a bundled arrangement and (2) to allocate the arrangement’s consideration to each unit in the arrangement (such as, equipment, installation or commissioning services). Entities are now required to determine an estimated selling price for each separate deliverable following a hierarchy of evidence — Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”), Third-Party Evidence (“TPE”) and, if VSOE and TPE do not exist, best estimate of selling price (“BESP”).

In December 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for business combinations specifically related to the disclosures of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. This guidance specifies that pro forma disclosures should be reported as if the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period and the pro forma disclosures must include a description of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. This standard will be effective for business combinations with an acquisition date of January 1, 2011 or later. The adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

(3) Acquisitions

On March 6, 2009, we acquired the remaining 49% outstanding share capital that we did not previously own in subsidiary Reality Group Pty. Ltd., an Australian marketing communications firm, in consideration of the issuance of 90,073 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $631 which is recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The remaining balance of the non-controlling interest of $237 is recorded as part of the acquisition and recorded as additional paid-in capital.

On April 8, 2009, we acquired certain of the operating assets and assumed specified liabilities of Narrowstep, Inc., a United States and United Kingdom based internet TV platform company (“Narrowstep”) in exchange for 25,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $213. The Company has allocated the aggregate cost of the acquisition to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values.

In November 2008, we purchased specified assets of Extreme Mobile Services Limited (also known as Juzou), a company formed under the laws of the United Kingdom.  Juzou’s business involves content management and web services with live streaming capabilities.  Under an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 15, 2008, we acquired the Juzou trademark and system and ongoing client and other operating contracts.  The total purchase price of the assets was $800, payable in shares of our common stock based on meeting specified financial and operating targets over the ensuing two-year period, which has subsequently been amended in August 2009 to $570.  At closing, we issued 13,715 shares of our common stock to Juzou valued at $120 against the total purchase price of which $104 was recorded as software. In September 2009, we paid $150 in cash and issued 10,559 shares valued at $90, which was recorded as software. In December 2009, we issued 7,165 shares valued at $70 for the consideration 12 months from closing, which was recorded as software.

(3) Acquisitions

In late March 2010, we acquired Multicast Media Technologies, Inc., a United States company engaged in live event broadcasting, internet video and targeted multimedia communications (“Multicast”), in exchange for 1,312,034 shares of our common stock (the “Merger Shares”) and $4,746 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”). We valued the 1,312,034 shares at a share price of $12.24 with a discount of $3,132 due to the restriction on the sale of these shares for a total value of $12,927. The merger consideration was subject to adjustment upwards or downwards to the extent that the closing working capital of Multicast was greater or less than zero and subject to the final fair valuation of Merger Shares. Total consideration was $17,272. The Cash Consideration and Merger Shares were delivered as follows: (i) $4,000 in cash and 842,500 shares of our stock promptly following the closing; and (ii) a “holdback amount” of an additional $746 in cash and 469,534 shares of KIT digital common stock, less any amount used by KIT digital to offset negative working capital and satisfy indemnity claims as described below, will be delivered to such stockholders not later than one year after the closing or such later date as all indemnity claims have been resolved. Of the total “holdback amount,” $712 in cash and 196,798 Merger Shares were used to offset any negative working capital balance of Multicast as of the effective date of the merger. The remaining $34 in cash and 272,736 Merger Shares being held back by KIT digital will be used to indemnify KIT digital against any breaches of representations, warranties and covenants by Multicast, as well as against certain additional specified liabilities. The Company has allocated the aggregate cost of the acquisition to Multicast’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the aggregate cost of the acquisition over the net estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed was recorded to goodwill.

(3) Acquisitions (Continued)

On May 14, 2010, we acquired Benchmark Broadcast Systems Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company engaged in providing asset management solutions and integration of broadcast video systems, and subsidiaries (“Benchmark”), in exchange for 353,774 shares of our common stock and approximately $4,905 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) at the time of acquisition. We valued the 353,774 shares at a share price of $13.80 with a discount of $976 due to the restriction on the sale of these shares for a total value of $3,906. The cost of the acquisition of Benchmark was valued at $15,762. Additionally, the cost includes $1,119 for the working capital due to the seller and a fair value of the contingent consideration of $8,378 estimated to be due after one year or two years from closing based on a percentage of revenue and meeting earnings targets. Of these amounts, $2,115 is included in the Balance Sheet in “Acquisition liability” and $7,382 is in the Balance Sheet in “Acquisition liability, net of current.” Pursuant to the agreement, we put $2,000 into escrow for potential future obligations, which is included in “Restricted Cash” in the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010. We have allocated the aggregate cost of the acquisition to Benchmark’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the aggregate cost of the acquisition over the net estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill.

On March 9, 2009, we issued 300,539 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of a $1,500 acquisition liability incurred in connection with the acquisition of Kamera Content AB (“Kamera”) in 2008, which is included in goodwill. In September 2009, we recorded an additional liability of $1,083 as a result of an amendment to the underling share purchase agreement for full and final settlement of all future/potential earn-out payments. This has been recorded as additional goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet. In October 2009, we paid $1,700 and 110,805 shares valued at $883 to settle this liability.

In January 2009, we paid $180 in cash to the former shareholders of Visual Connection a.s. (“Visual”), pursuant to the Visual Share Purchase Agreement dated October 5, 2008 (“Visual SPA”). In March 2009, we issued 163,044 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Visual, pursuant to the Visual SPA, in satisfaction of a $1,500 earn out liability, which is included in goodwill. In September 2009, we issued 52,632 shares valued at $430 and $300 in cash to the former shareholders of Visual pursuant to an amendment to the Visual SPA and in satisfaction of the earn-out 12 months after closing and is included in goodwill. The liability included in the consolidated balance sheet in “Acquisition liability – Visual” is $1,075 as of December 31, 2009. In June 2010, we paid $2,900 in cash and issued 122,911 shares of our common stock valued at $1,250 to the former shareholders of Visual Connection a.s. (“Visual”), pursuant to an amendment to the Visual Share Purchase Agreement dated October 5, 2008 (“Visual SPA”) and in satisfaction of all remaining earn-out provisions. We have recorded an increase of $3,075 to “Goodwill” in the Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2010 and a reduction of $1,075 of the previously recorded contingent liability.

(5) Derivative Liabilities
 
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard. Under this standard, instruments which contain full ratchet anti-dilution provisions will no longer be considered indexed to a company’s own stock for purposes of determining whether it meets the first part of the scope exception. The adoption required us to (1) evaluate our instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and (2) evaluate the instrument’s settlement provisions. Based upon applying this approach to instruments within the scope of the consensus, we have determined that certain of our warrants which were classified in stockholders’ equity on December 31, 2008, no longer meet the definition of Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock provided in the Consensus. Accordingly, effective on January 1, 2009, we were required to reclassify those warrants, at their fair value, into liabilities. The accounting standard requires that the fair value of these liabilities be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value over the period reported in the statement of operations. The difference between the amount the warrants were originally recorded in the financial statements and the fair value of the instruments on January 1, 2009 was considered a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and required an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and a reduction in additional paid-in capital in the amount of $8,498 and $24,235, respectively. The derivative liability as of January 1, 2009 was $15,737. The common shares indexed to the derivative financial instruments used in the calculation of the fair value and recorded as liabilities at January 1, 2009, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 were 5,806,230, 4,794,400 and 679,400, respectively. The number of shares for the determination of liability have been computed based on the effective exercise price used in the valuation. The actual number of common shares indexed to the warrants at January 1, 2009, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 were 2,886,038, 4,794,400 and 679,400, respectively.

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments.

(5) Derivative Liabilities (continued)
 
Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

The following tables summarize the components of derivative liabilities:

Fair value hierarchy:

 
(1)
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, or derived there from. Our trading market values and the volatilities that are calculated thereupon are level 1 inputs.
 
(2)
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. We use the current published yields for zero-coupon US Treasury Securities, with terms nearest the remaining term of the warrants for our risk free rate.
 
(3)
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. Inputs for which any parts are level 3 inputs are classified as level 3 in their entirety. The remaining term used equals the remaining contractual term as our best estimate of the expected term and the effective exercise price which is based on the stated exercise price adjusted for anti-dilution provisions.

The effects on our expense associated with changes in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $12,891 and $6,015, respectively.

On March 7, 2010, our board of directors approved the repurchase of certain outstanding warrants with exercise prices below the then-current market price from certain warrant holders (who had acquired the warrants in May 2008 private placement financings), including KIT Media, an entity controlled by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Wellington Management Company (“Wellington”), an entity with greater than a 10% holding in KIT digital’s outstanding common stock at the time of the transaction. KIT Media and Wellington were at the time considered related parties of the Company. The terms of the warrant repurchase were identical for KIT Media and Wellington, and the negotiation of such terms was led by Wellington. The Company offered to purchase and cancel these warrants at 133% of the intrinsic value of the warrants (but because intrinsic value was based on a 20-day trailing volume weighted average price of the underlying common stock at the time, the ultimate purchase price of the warrants ended up being below the actual intrinsic value at the date of purchase.).  These warrants with anti-ratchet dilution provisions totaling 3,030,747 were cancelled effective on March 31, 2010. Total payments for the settlement of these warrants was $22,232 and a loss of $1,665 was recorded in the derivative expense in the statement of operations. These warrants were included in the warrant buyback liability as at March 31, 2010 and were paid after such date. We also repurchased and cancelled another 403,577 warrants with anti-ratchet dilution provisions during the year ended December 31, 2010, at varying prices, from parties other than KIT Media and Wellington, for $1,342.

(6) Related Party Transactions
 
In December 2007, we entered into an agreement with KIT Capital, a company beneficially controlled and led by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, under which KIT Capital has provided us managerial services. The total amount paid to KIT Capital and included in our results of operations in the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $569 and $508, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $133,000 of Federal, $234,000 of State and Local, and $21,000 of Foreign net operating losses (NOLs).  The Federal and State NOLs are available to offset future taxable income through 2030 and expire from 2019 to 2030.  The majority of the foreign NOL’s have no expiration..The Company has not recognized a deferred asset for the NOLs at December 31, 2010 and expects to continue to provide a full valuation allowance until, or unless, it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to utilize these assets.

Additionally, the Federal and State utilization of the above NOLs, in accordance with section 382 of the Internal Revenue Service code, could be limited or expired before the utilization due to stock ownership changes that may have occurred in the past or will occur in the future.  In certain foreign jurisdictions, the utilization of the NOLs may also be limited. During 2010, our valuation allowance increased by $6,740 from $57,657 in 2009 to $64,397 in 2010. We will continue to maintain the valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a full or partial reversal.

As a matter of course, the Company can be audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.  No audits are currently in process.

Employment Agreements - On December 18, 2007, the Company entered into the Management Agreement with KIT Capital for a term commencing on January 9, 2008 and terminating on January 9, 2011, unless sooner terminated or mutually extended. This agreement has been extended until March 31, 2011 to facilitate discussions with respect to renewing the agreement or entering into a similar agreement. The Management Agreement provided for an aggregate compensation for KIT Capital as follows: (i) $51 monthly (which has been subsequently adjusted downwards at various dates based on the headcount), which includes the cost of at least three employees inclusive of benefits and taxes, (ii) signing incentive payment of $69, (iii) an incentive bonus equal to the greater of (x) the preceding twelve months’ base compensation or (y) the previous month’s monthly installment of base compensation multiplied by twelve if the Company shall achieve 2 consecutive quarters of profitability or the Company’s total monthly revenue equals or exceeds $6,000, and (iv) a “ phantom stock plan ” for 60,000 shares that vest over a 36-month period. The Management Agreement provides that upon termination of the Management Agreement or after the Management Agreement’s expiration date for any reason except cause (as defined in the Management Agreement), the Company shall pay KIT Capital, in addition to any other payments due hereunder, a cash severance payment equal to the greater of (i) the total amount paid to KIT Capital during the preceding twelve months, including base compensation and all bonuses, and (ii) the previous month’s monthly installment of base compensation multiplied by twelve.

Litigation - In December 2007, two former consultants of ROO Media Corporation (ROO Media) (currently KIT Media Corporation) sued that entity together with ROO Group, Inc. (currently KIT digital, Inc.) and its founder and former Vice Chairman and ROO Media’s former President and Chief Operating Officer in New York Supreme Court, New York County, New York, alleging breach of an oral employment agreement, fraudulent inducement and other claims relating to the plaintiffs’ employment at ROO Media. Last year, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint and, in March 2009, the court dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims except their breach of contract claim on the grounds that it is based on an alleged oral agreement, which plaintiffs may be able to prove. Defendants have answered the complaint, denying liability, and the case is now in discovery. We believe that there is no merit to this suit, and we intend to continue to defend vigorously.

In November 2007, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ROO HD, Inc., now known as KIT HD, Inc. (“KIT HD”), was named as the defendant in a purported class action lawsuit entitled Julie Vittengl et al. vs. ROO HD, Inc., in New York Supreme Court, Saratoga County, New York.  The suit, brought by four former employees of Wurld Media, Inc. (“Wurld”), purportedly on behalf of themselves and “others similarly situated,” claims that KIT HD’s acquisition of certain assets of Wurld was a fraudulent conveyance and that KIT HD is the alter-ego of Wurld.  Plaintiffs seek the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the Company’s property in constructive trust for plaintiffs and payment of plaintiffs’ unpaid wages and costs of suit, both in an unspecified dollar amount.  KIT HD filed its answer to the complaint in January 2008. In December 2009, plaintiffs served an amended complaint, dropping the class action allegations and adding the Company as a defendant; otherwise, it is essentially the same as its predecessor.  Earlier this month, KIT HD and the Company answered the amended complaint, and the case will shortly enter into discovery. We believe that the suit is without merit, and the Company and KIT HD intend to defend themselves vigorously.

In May 2009, a former employee of Wurld, Plaintiff, filed suit against ten shareholders of Wurld, Wurld, ROO HD (n/k/a “KIT HD”), and ROO Group, Inc. (n/k/a the “Company”), in New York Supreme Court, Albany County, New York.  Plaintiff, a former employee of Wurld, seeks to hold the ten largest shareholders of Wurld liable under Business Corporation Law § 630, for $100 in wages that Wurld allegedly failed to pay Plaintiff.  She further asserts a variety of claims based on the allegation that KIT HD’s acquisition of certain assets of Wurld was a fraudulent conveyance, and that KIT HD is the successor to Wurld and liable for Wurld’s debts.  Based on these allegations, plaintiff seeks payment of her wages, the (unspecified) fair market value of her shares of stock in Wurld, rescission of the asset purchase agreement between Wurld and KIT HD, plus attorney’s fees.  In October 2009, the court dismissed plaintiff's claims against three shareholder/defendants on the grounds that BCL § 630 does not apply to Wurld because it is not a New York corporation, a decision that plaintiff is appealing.  KIT HD and the Company have been served and answered, and the case is now in discovery.  We believe that this lawsuit is without merit, and if necessary the Company intends to defend itself vigorously.

(14) Stock-Based Compensation

On March 17, 2008, the board of directors adopted an incentive compensation plan (the “2008 Incentive Stock Plan”). The 2008 Incentive Stock Plan currently has reserved 857,143 shares of common stock for issuance. The 2004 Stock Option Plan has reserved 342,858 shares of common stock for issuance. In November 2009, our board of directors voted unanimously to increase the number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Incentive Plan by 2,642,857 to an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock subject to ratification by our stockholders at our next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At our annual meeting of stockholders held on September 30, 2010, our stockholders approved an amendment to our 2008 Incentive Stock Plan increasing the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 2,642,857 shares to 3,500,000 shares from 857,143 shares. In December 2010, our board of directors voted unanimously to increase the number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Incentive Plan by 1,500,000 to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock subject to ratification by our stockholders. Subsequently, as a result of acquisition activity,  our board of directors authorized at the board meeting on March 5, 2011 to increase the number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Incentive Plan to a total of 6,000,000 shares, subject to the approval of our shareholders.

The Company’s outstanding unvested stock options have maximum contractual terms of up to five years, principally vest on a quarterly basis ratably over four years and were granted at exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company’s outstanding stock options are exercisable into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of employee stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant in accordance with the modified prospective method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for purposes of determining the fair value of stock options and warrants granted and recognizes compensation costs ratably over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. For restricted stock awards, the grant-date fair value is the quoted market price of the stock.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $4,705 and $1,922, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Included in the 2010 amount of $4,705, is $148 of stock issued for compensation, $317 for restricted stock units vested in 2010 and $253 for restricted stock. Included in the 2009 amount of $1,922, is $261 of stock issued for compensation, $261 for a 2009 bonus accrued for which stock is to be issued in 2010 and $18 for director’s compensation accrued and to be paid in stock in 2010. Also included in non-cash stock-based compensation are warrants to purchase 34,286 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $4.655 issued on March 30, 2008, that vest over three years from the issue date. During the year ended December 31, 2010, a total of 11,428 of these warrants vested with 31,428 vested and 2,858 unvested as of December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2009, a total of 11,428 of these warrants vested with 20,000 vested and 14,286 unvested as of December 31, 2009. The intrinsic value as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 of these outstanding warrants and exercisable warrants were $390 and $218, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, there was approximately $17,693 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation grants, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years. As of December 31, 2009, there was approximately $2,989 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation grants, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

(15) Sale of subsidiary
 
On December 24, 2010, we sold a portion of our business in the Czech Republic focusing on professional services and non-Saas activities, in exchange for $2,476 in cash to former owners of this business.
 
We also received $524 in cash as an initial payment against the loan outstanding to the company. The amount payable of $11,371 from the subsidiary at the time of sale to the company has been converted to a loan receivable secured by the assets of the former subsidiary. The balance as of 12/31/10 was $10,847.
In addition, we have entered into a re-seller agreement with the buyer for any future sales that are in line with our core activities.
 
We expect to have significant direct continuing cash flows from the retained portion of the subsidiary and have therefore presented results in continuing operations.

(19) Subsequent Events

Kickapps Acquisition - On January 28, 2011, KIT digital, Inc. acquired 100% ownership of KickApps Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“KickApps”), through a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of KIT digital with and into KickApps. KickApps, headquarted in New York City, is a leading provider of solutions that enable the creation and management of next generation video-based Web experiences. Its solutions consist of a suite of hosted social and media applications and services that drives deeper relationships with customers, and which are used by some of the world’s largest brands to grow and engage online audiences.

Under the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transaction, KickApps stockholders received 3,010,294 shares of KIT digital’s common stock.  All vested KickApps options not exercised prior to the merger were cashed-out, and KIT digital will issue new options to KickApps employees with similar vesting provisions. Holders of KickApps common stock receiving total consideration in the merger of less than $7 do not receive any KIT digital common stock, but are instead paid in cash.
  
KIT digital will hold 528,507 shares of the merger consideration in escrow for a period not to exceed 15 months following the merger to cover any warranty claims related to undisclosed commercial or tax liabilities or litigation. KIT digital's post-closing remedy for all claims will be limited to the escrowed funds, although the preferred stockholders of KickApps have agreed to indemnify KIT digital against certain liabilities up to the total value of the shares of KIT digital common stock issued to them.
 
All KIT digital common stock issued in exchange for KickApps preferred stock will be subject to contractual restrictions on their transfer, with 60% of such stock being released from this restriction on the first anniversary of the merger and the balance on the second anniversary of the merger. In addition, certain members of management of KickApps have agreed to be bound by the transfer restriction with respect to the KIT digital common stock issued in exchange for their KickApps common stock.  The shares of KIT digital common stock issued in this transaction are subject to certain demand Form S-3 and piggyback registration rights after the transfer restriction has terminated.
 
Kewego Acquisition - On January 26, 2011, KIT digital entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Kewego S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of France (“Kewego”), pursuant to which KIT digital purchased, on the same date, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Kewego. Kewego, based in Paris, provides enterprises, media operators, and communication agencies with professional IP-based, multi-screen video asset management solutions for managing, broadcasting and monetizing videos on IP connected devices, including PCs, mobile phones, iPads, connected TVs and gaming consoles.
 
The consideration for all of Kewego’s outstanding stock was €25,655, subject to a customary post-closing adjustment for working capital and net cash.  The purchase price consisted of €8,750 in cash and the issuance of 1,411,704 shares of KIT digital common stock.  The shares of KIT digital common stock were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Kyte Acquisition - On January 25, 2011, KIT digital, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired decentraltv Corporation, a Delaware corporation doing business as Kyte (“Kyte”). Kyte, based in San Francisco, is a leading cloud-based publishing platform that enables companies to deliver live and on-demand video experiences to websites, mobile devices and connected TVs.
 
At the closing of the acquisition, KIT digital paid $3,023 to the stockholders of Kyte, $582 to third parties for expenses for which Kyte was responsible, and issued for the benefit of the stockholders of Kyte 189,348 shares of its common stock, of which 56,803 shares are to be held in escrow for a period of one year to secure certain indemnification obligations of Kyte and its stockholders.  On the one-year anniversary of the acquisition, KIT digital is obligated to pay up to an additional $500 in cash and issue up to an additional $500 in KIT digital common stock to former Kyte stockholders if specified financial milestones are achieved by that business.
 
Polymedia Acquisition - On March 16, 2011 KIT digital, Inc. signed a definitive agreement to acquire Polymedia for a net consideration of $34.4 million, plus certain limited performance-based earn outs. Based in Milan, Italy, Polymedia is the IP video platform-provisioning subsidiary of TXT e-solutions, a public company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange (TXT IM).
 
In consideration for 100% of Polymedia's shares on a debt-free and cash-free basis, the transaction includes guaranteed payments of approximately $34.4 million at closing, comprised of $17.2 million in cash and up to $17.2 million in KIT digital common stock. KIT digital retains the right to pay any portion of the stock consideration in cash at its sole election for a period of approximately 90 days from the date of closing of the transaction. A certain additional amount will be paid in cash as an offset against positive working capital at closing, and the transaction includes up to $4.2 million of KIT digital common stock or cash, at KIT digital's election, pursuant to aggressive, corporate performance-based earn-outs at the first and second anniversary of the transaction.
 
The Company is in the process of gathering the necessary information for the initial allocations for these acquisitions.
