CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “assume” or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements in this Annual Report regarding our future strategy, future operations, projected financial position, estimated future revenue, projected costs, future prospects, and results that might be obtained by pursuing management’s current plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Important risks that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Annual Report and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which this Annual Report was filed with the SEC. We expressly disclaim any obligation to issue any updates or revisions to our forward-looking statements, even if subsequent events cause our expectations to change regarding the matters discussed in those statements. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our stockholders.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
Overview of Transition in the Company’s Business
 
The fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 was a transition year for Function(x) Inc. (the “Company” or Function(x)").  On October 24, 2010 the Company disposed of its remaining interest in Oaktree Systems, Inc (“Oaktree”) and was not active and had no operating business. After the disposition of the Oaktree interest, the Company began exploring the possibility of identifying and merging with or investing in one or more operating businesses.  Then, on February 15, 2011, we completed a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) with Sillerman Investment Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sillerman”) and EMH Howard LLC, a New York limited liability company (“EMH Howard”) and changed our name to Function(x) Inc.  With the Recapitalization, the Company changed course and, under new management, began moving in a new direction, which is to provide a platform for investments in media and entertainment, with a particular emphasis on digital and mobile technology.

Investors should read all of the information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to better understand the financial condition of, and risks of investing in, the Company.

The Company’s New Line of Business

The Company’s business is to create and manage digital products and services that encourage consumer participation and active engagement with media and entertainment content.  These digital media products are designed to accommodate a variety of media and entertainment experiences, including but not limited to television, movies, games and music.  The Company plans to generate revenues from advertising, sponsorship, e-commerce and other sources based on the aggregation of registered users.

The Company plans to host, maintain, develop and operate a suite of digital products that will leverage proprietary technology.  The initial products will be delivered via mobile applications and websites, marketed to high value media consumers.  In addition, the Company is developing and managing software and databases for the identification of multimedia content, commercials, and promotional information that will be used on multiple types of internet-connected devices.  We will also use our software and databases to deliver highly targeted advertising and marketing solutions via digital services, initially on mobile phones and other handheld mobile devices.

The Company’s initial product design will be distributed on a variety of mainstream mobile operating systems.  The products will verify user engagement of various forms of entertainment content through a real-time check-in process.  The initial market for the product targets TV audiences across various channels and platforms:  broadcast and cable networks, live, time-shifted and on-demand television, as well as online distribution of television programming.  The Company’s consumer participation and engagement will be limited to participants who are 13 years of age or older.

The Beta product was delivered for usability testing in September and will undergo further testing in the fourth quarter of calendar 2011.  The Company is targeting an initial release to be made in such quarter or early 2012.  The national launch to a wider general audience is scheduled for 2012.

Since the Recapitalization and prior to the end of the fiscal year, the Company hired personnel with diverse backgrounds in General Management in Digital Media and Entertainment, along with specialists in Product Development, Engineering, Marketing, Analytics, Sales and Business Development, along with Human Resources, Finance and Legal for the purpose of furthering the business plan and building the first product.

Operations

We are creating a social media experience around traditional media consumption that encourages consumer participation and active engagement through incentives, brand-sponsored content, and network-sponsored content.  We intend to market our service through various channels, including online advertising, broad-based media (such as television and radio), as well as various strategic partnerships.  We intend to utilize co-location facilities and the services of third-party cloud computing providers, more specifically, Amazon Web Services, to help us efficiently manage and create our platform.

Revenue

Our plan is to derive revenues from advertising programs and marketing solutions generated from two revenue streams, entertainment providers and brand advertisers.  We will begin operations by offering a new social media experience to consumers to drive engagement with providers and brands through our digital mobile services, with focus on smartphone applications.  Initially, we anticipate revenues to be generated substantially in the United States.

Seasonality
 
Our revenue is expected to exhibit a seasonal pattern that reflects variation in accordance with entertainment offerings and the desire of advertisers to try to influence consumers’ purchasing habits.  As a consequence, revenue is expected to vary modestly throughout the year, although we anticipate revenues to be slowest in the third calendar quarter.  Additionally, the growth in variable expenses associated with marketing, new product releases, consumer incentives, and advertising services will fluctuate with revenue, but not necessarily by the same percentage.
 
Competition
 
The market for digital and social media applications is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change.  New competitors may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost.  Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple digital brands and products and can easily shift consumption from one provider to another.  Our principal competitors are in segments such as the following:
 
●           Applications promoting social TV experience and discussions; and
 
●           White-label providers of social media and media-specific applications.
 
The Company’s Formation and Former Line of Business
 
Function(x) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994, and was formerly known as Gateway Industries, Inc.  We had no operating business or full-time employees from December 1996 to March 2000, when we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Oaktree.  Through Oaktree, we provided cost effective marketing solutions to organizations needing sophisticated information management tools.

We acquired Oaktree on March 21, 2000 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement.  The purchase price of Oaktree was approximately $4,100, consisting of $2,000 in cash, the issuance of 600,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company and the assumption of approximately $650 of debt, which was repaid at the closing date, plus certain fees and expenses.  In December 2007, Oaktree sold 5,624 shares of its common stock to Marketing Data, Inc., an affiliate of an officer of Oaktree, for $1.  As a result, our ownership interest in Oaktree was reduced to 20% of Oaktree’s outstanding common stock.  In connection with this transaction, we agreed to make a capital contribution of $225 to Oaktree at closing.  As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss on sale of subsidiary in the amount of $4,238 during the year ended December 31, 2007.

In July 2005, we sold 500,000 shares of 10% series A preferred stock to Steel Partners II, L.P. (“Steel Partners II”), an affiliate of Jack L. Howard, who was at the time our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our largest stockholder, for a purchase price of $1,467.  In addition, we sold to Steel Partners II warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.22 per share, for a purchase price of $33.  On May 15, 2008, we repurchased all of the preferred stock and warrants originally issued to Steel Partners II for a purchase price of $1,000.  None of the warrants were ever exercised by Steel Partners II and no dividend was paid on the preferred stock.

On October 24, 2010, Oaktree repurchased our remaining 20% interest in Oaktree for $0.10.  As a result, Marketing Data, Inc. owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of Oaktree.  From October 2010, after the Company completed the disposition of its interest in Oaktree Systems, Inc. (“Oaktree”) through the date of the Recapitalization in February 2011, the Company was not active and had no operating business.

The Recapitalization
 
As previously disclosed, on February 7, 2011, Function(x) Inc. (formerly Gateway Industries, Inc., the “Company”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization (the “Recapitalization Agreement”, a copy of which is listed as and incorporated by reference herewith as Exhibit ___) by and among the Company, Sillerman Investment Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sillerman”), and EMH Howard LLC, a New York limited liability company (“EMH Howard”).   All of the following amounts, other than share information, set forth in this report appear in the thousands.

Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, invested in the Company by acquiring 120,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in a private placement transaction at a price of $0.03 per share (on a post-split basis as described below), as a result of which Sillerman and the other investors acquired approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of common stock, with Sillerman (together with Robert F.X. Sillerman personally) directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. Upon consummation, the proceeds of the private placement of $3,600 ($220 in cash and $3,380 in five-year promissory notes with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the Recapitalization Agreement, which was 4.15% per annum) were received.

On February 16, 2011, immediately after the Recapitalization was consummated, the Company issued 13,232,597 shares of common stock to an institutional investor (for $10,000) at a price of approximately $0.76 per share, and 940,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor ($500) at a price of approximately $0.53 per share. The shares of common stock issued in such placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the safe harbors for sales under Section 4(2) provided by Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.  Transfer of the shares was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.

On February 16, 2011, the Company issued a five year warrant for 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.80 per share to Berenson & Company, LLC, financial advisor to Sillerman in connection with the Recapitalization.  On May 9, 2011, Berenson Investments LLC exercised the warrant and paid $80 for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company also issued 250,000 shares to J. Howard, Inc., an entity affiliated with Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt of $171 owed to J. Howard, Inc. The fair market value of the shares at issuance was $0.03 per share.  The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount.  In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.

As part of the Recapitalization, the Company effectuated a 1 for 10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective on February 16, 2011. Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-tenth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share.  All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

The newly recapitalized company changed its name to Function (X) Inc. effective as of the date of the Recapitalization and changed its name to Function(x) Inc. on June 22, 2011.  It now conducts its business under the name Function(x) Inc., with the ticker symbol FNCX.  We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Project Oda, Inc. and Viggle Inc., each Delaware corporations.

Intellectual Property

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has filed to protect its initial trademarks.  We anticipate that there will be patent and other filings in the future.  We intend to protect any intellectual property rights we may acquire in the future through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, rights of publicity, and other laws, as well as licensing agreements and third party nondisclosure and assignment agreements.  Our failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
Various portions of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including those set forth below and elsewhere in this report.
 
Since we have a limited operating history and no revenues to date, we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability.  The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company.
 
We have limited financial resources and no revenues to date. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive environment in which we will operate. Since we have a limited operating history, we cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to fully meet our expenses and totally support our anticipated activities.
 
Our ability to continue as a business and implement our business plan will depend on our ability to raise sufficient debt or equity.   There is no assurance such debt and/or equity offerings will be successful or that we will remain in business or be able to implement our business plan if the offerings are not successful.
 
We need substantial additional financing to execute our business plan which may not be available. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to continue operations.
 
We do not yet have revenues and our ability to continue in business depends upon our ability to obtain working capital.  There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed, and upon acceptable terms and conditions could have a material adverse effect upon us. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing or future stockholders is likely to result.
 
 
4

 
 
We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock that would dilute your ownership.
 
We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions and develop strategic relationships, by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our common stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of common stock. The holders of any debt securities or instruments we may issue would have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders.
 
Our common stock price may fluctuate significantly and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Because we are a newly operating company, there are few objective metrics by which our progress may be measured. Consequently, we expect that the market price of our common stock will likely fluctuate significantly. There can be no assurance whether or when we will generate revenue from the license, sale or delivery of our unique products and services. In the absence of product revenue as a measure of our operating performance, we anticipate that investors and market analysts will assess our performance by considering factors such as:
 
             announcements of developments related to our business;
 
            developments in our strategic relationships with companies;
 
            our ability to enter into or extend investigation phase, development phase, commercialization phase and other agreements with new and/or existing partners;
 
             announcements regarding the status of any or all of our collaborations or products;
 
            market perception and/or investor sentiment regarding our products and services;
 
             announcements regarding developments in the digital and mobile technology and the broadcast and entertainment industries in general;
 
             the issuance of competitive patents or disallowance or loss of our patent or trademark rights; and
 
            quarterly variations in our operating results.
 
We will not have control over many of these factors but expect that our stock price may be influenced by them. As a result, our stock price may be volatile and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
The market for purchases and sales of our common stock may be very limited, and the sale of a limited number of shares could cause the price to fall sharply.
 
Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of the common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.
 
Since we do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, and we may never pay dividends, you may not realize a return on your investment unless the price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your common stock.
 
We will not distribute cash to our stockholders until and unless we can develop sufficient funds from operations to meet our ongoing needs and implement our business plan. The time frame for that is inherently unpredictable, and you should not plan on it occurring in the near future, if at all.  Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time.  Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment.  Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.
 
Since we are controlled by current insiders and affiliates of the Company, you and our other non-management shareholders will be unable to affect the outcome in matters requiring shareholder approval.
 
As of September 28, 2011, approximately 115,098,000 shares of our common stock, not including currently exercisable warrants, are owned by current affiliates and insiders representing control of approximately 77% of the total voting power.
 
As result of the closing of the Recapitalization, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, owns approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of common stock, with Sillerman (together with Robert F.X. Sillerman personally) directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock.  As a result, Sillerman essentially has the ability to elect all of our directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder action, without the vote of any other stockholders.  It is possible that the interests of Sillerman could conflict in certain circumstances with those of other stockholders.  Such concentrated ownership may also make it difficult for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock in the event we merge with a third party or enter into other transactions that require shareholder approval.  These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
 
 
5

 
 
We rely on key members of management, the loss of whose services could adversely affect our success and development.
 
Our success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and ability to meet our business objectives.  In particular, our success is highly dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers and our directors, particularly Robert F.X. Sillerman, our Executive Chairman and Director.  The loss of our executive officers and directors could slow the growth of our business, or it may cease to operate at all, which may result in the total loss of an investor’s investment.
 
Compensation may be paid to our officers, directors and employees regardless of our profitability, which may limit our ability to finance our business plan and adversely affect our business.
 
Robert F.X. Sillerman, our Executive Chairman and director and Janet Scardino, our Chief Executive Officer and director are receiving compensation and any future employees of our company may be entitled to receive compensation, payments and reimbursements regardless of whether we operate at a profit or a loss. Any compensation received by Mr. Sillerman, Ms. Scardino or any other senior executive in the future will be determined from time to time by the board of directors or our Compensation Committee.  Such obligations may negatively affect our cash flow and our ability to finance our business plan, which could cause our business to fail.
 
Some of our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest in business opportunities that may be disadvantageous to us.
 
Robert F.X. Sillerman, our Executive Chairman and director, and Mitchell Nelson, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Secretary and director, are each engaged in other business endeavors, including serving as executive officers of Circle Entertainment Inc. (“Circle”).  Under Mr. Sillerman’s employment agreement, he is obligated to devote his working time to the Company's affairs, but may continue to perform his responsibilities as an executive officer of Circle, as well as in other outside non-competitive businesses.  Mr. Sillerman has agreed to present to the Company any business opportunities related to or appropriate for the Company’s business plan.  Pursuant to Mr. Nelson’s employment agreement, he is obligated to devote such time and attention to the affairs of the Company as is necessary for him to perform his duties as Executive Vice President and General Counsel.  He is also entitled to perform similar functions for Circle pursuant to the shared services agreement described in Section 11 hereof, "Related Party Transactions".  Although Circle and the Company have generally different business plans, interests and programs, it is conceivable there may be a conflict of interest in determining where a potential opportunity should be brought.  Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of Company policy, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors, as set forth in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.  The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics also sets forth the procedures to follow in the event that a potential conflict of interest arises.  For a description of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, please see the section entitled “Corporate Governance” below.
 
Our business and growth may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key officers or employees.
 
Our success depends on the expertise and continued service of our Executive Chairman, Robert F.X Sillerman, and certain other key executives and technical personnel. It may be difficult to find a sufficiently qualified individual to replace Mr. Sillerman or other key executives in the event of death, disability or resignation, resulting in our being unable to implement our business plan and the Company having no operations or revenues.
 
Furthermore, our ability to expand operations to accommodate our anticipated growth will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified media, management, finance, marketing, sales and technical personnel.  However, competition for these types of employees is intense due to the limited number of qualified professionals.  Our ability to meet our business development objectives will depend in part on our ability to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand our technology and business.  The Company believes that it will be able to attract competent employees, but no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in this regard. If the Company is unable to engage and retain the necessary personnel, its business may be materially and adversely affected.
 
We are uncertain of our ability to manage our growth.
 
Our ability to grow our business is dependent upon a number of factors including our ability to hire, train and assimilate management and other employees, the adequacy of our financial resources, our ability to identify and efficiently provide such new products and services as our customers may require in the future and our ability to adapt our own systems to accommodate expanded operations.

Because of pressures from competitors with more resources, we may fail to implement our business strategy profitably.
 
The digital and mobile technology business is highly fragmented and extremely competitive. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of new solutions and enhancements to existing businesses developed by us, our competitors, and their advisors.  Function(x) is an entertainment company that utilizes digital media and smartphone technology.  If we are successful, larger and more established entertainment companies with significantly greater resources may try to enter the market with similar technologies, and may be in better competitive positions than we are.  We cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy in the face of such competition.
 
We may be unable to compete with larger or more established companies in two industries.
 
We face a large and growing number of competitors in the digital and mobile technology and entertainment industries.  If we successfully marry digital and mobile technology and entertainment, we will have competitors from both the digital and mobile and the entertainment industries. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and more established relationships in the industry than does the Company. As a result, certain of these competitors may be in better positions to compete with us for customers and audiences. We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.
 
If our products do not achieve market acceptance, we may not have sufficient financial resources to fund further development.
 
While we believe that a viable market exists for the products we are developing, there can be no assurance that such technology will prove to be an attractive alternative to conventional or competitive products in the markets that we have identified for exploitation. In the event that a viable market for our products cannot be created as envisaged by our business strategy or our products do not achieve market acceptance, we may need to commit greater resources than are currently available to develop a commercially viable and competitive product. There can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources to fund such development or that such development would be successful. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend on financial, economic and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that, when required, sufficient funds will be available to us on satisfactory terms.
 
If our products do not perform as expected, or we are unable to successfully develop and market our products, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
 
With the release of any new product release, we are subject to the risks generally associated with new product introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, delays in development and implementation, and failure of products to perform as expected. In order to introduce and market new or enhanced products successfully with minimal disruption in customer purchasing patterns, we must manage the transition from existing products in the market. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely basis, product enhancements or products that respond to technological advances by others, that our new products will adequately address the changing needs of the market or that we will successfully manage product transitions. Further, failure to generate sufficient cash from operations or financing activities to develop or obtain improved products and technologies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our business will suffer if our network systems fail or become unavailable.
 
A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure would harm our ability to distribute our products to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain users and content providers. Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Our systems could also be subject to viruses, break-ins, sabotage, acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, hacking, cyber-terrorism and similar misconduct. We might not carry adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of products or an increase in response time could result in a loss of potential customers or content providers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, then our products and services could be less attractive to our users and our business would be materially harmed.
 
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights from third-party claims and litigation, which could be expensive, divert management’s attention, and harm our business.
 
Our success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our proprietary rights and our ability to avoid infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We seek patent protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us.   Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products that may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party products that compete with our products and processes. In the event a competitor successfully challenges our products, processes, patents or licenses or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position.  We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated.

You may have limited access to information regarding our business because we are a limited reporting company exempt from many regulatory requirements and our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.
 
The Company will not become a fully reporting company but rather, will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As of effectiveness of our registration statement, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying (see "Where You Can Find More Information" elsewhere in this prospectus). Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) if we have less than 300 shareholders. If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted. After this registration statement on Form S-1 becomes effective, we will be required to deliver periodic reports to security holders. However, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act until we have both 500 or more security holders and greater than $10 million in assets. This means that your access to information regarding our business will be limited.
 
Changes to federal, state or international laws or regulations applicable to our business could adversely affect our business.
 
Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to privacy, advertising generally, consumer protection, content regulation, intellectual property, defamation, child protection, advertising to and collecting information from children, taxation, employment classification and billing. These laws and regulations and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
 
There are many federal, state and international laws that may affect our business including measures to regulate consumer privacy, the use of copyrighted material, the collection of certain data, network neutrality, patent litigation, cyber security, child protection, subpoena and warrant processes, employee classification and others.
 
In addition, most states have enacted legislation governing the breach of data security in which sensitive consumer information is released or accessed. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
 
Many of our potential partners are subject to industry specific laws and regulations or licensing requirements, including in the following industries: pharmaceuticals, online gaming, alcohol, adult content, tobacco, firearms, insurance, securities brokerage, real estate, sweepstakes, free trial offers, automatic renewal services and legal services. If any of our advertising partners fail to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, our business could be adversely affected. Furthermore, these laws may also limit the way we advertise our products and services or cause us to incur compliance costs, which could affect our revenues and could further adversely impact our business.
 
There are a number of significant matters under review and discussion with respect to government regulations which may affect the business we intend to enter and/or harm our customers, and thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the historical audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company’s historical audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our historical results of operations reflected in our historical audited consolidated financial statements are not indicative of our future results of operations as we have entered a new line of business from which we do not currently generate revenue.
 
Overview
 
Function(x) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994, and was formerly known as Gateway Industries, Inc.

In February 2011, Function (X) Inc. completed a Recapitalization with Sillerman and EMH Howard.  The newly recapitalized company changed its name to Function (X) Inc. effective as of the date of the Recapitalization and changed its name to Function(x) Inc. on June 22, 2011 and now conducts its business under the name Function(x) Inc., with the ticker symbol FNCX.  We have two wholly owned subsidiaries, Project Oda, Inc. and Viggle, Inc.   Upon completion of the Recapitalization, the Company changed course after being inactive from October 2010.  The Recapitalization and the resulting change in management were the initial steps in the Company developing a new operating business. Its new direction is intended to provide a platform for investments in media and entertainment, with a particular emphasis on digital and mobile technology.

The Company’s New Line of Business

The Company’s business is to create and manage digital products and services that encourage consumer participation and active engagement with media and entertainment content.  These digital media products are designed to accommodate a variety of media and entertainment experiences, including but not limited to television, movies, games and music.  The Company plans to generate revenues from advertising, sponsorship, e-commerce and other sources based on the aggregation of registered users.

The Company plans to host, maintain, develop and operate a suite of digital products that will leverage proprietary technology.  The initial products will be delivered via mobile applications and websites, marketed to high value media consumers.  In addition, the Company is developing and managing software and databases for the identification of multimedia content, commercials, and promotional information that will be used on multiple types of internet-connected devices.  We will also use our software and databases to deliver highly targeted advertising and marketing solutions via digital services, initially on mobile phones and other handheld mobile devices.

The Company’s initial product design will be distributed on a variety of mainstream mobile operating systems.  The products will verify user engagement of various forms of entertainment content through a real-time check-in process.  The initial market for the product targets TV audiences across various channels and platforms:  broadcast and cable networks, live, time-shifted and on-demand television, as well as online distribution of television programming.  The Company’s consumer participation and engagement will be limited to participants who are 13 years of age or older.

The Beta product was delivered for usability testing in September and will undergo further testing in the fourth quarter of calendar 2011.  The Company is targeting an initial release to be made in such quarter or early 2012.  The national launch to a wider general audience is scheduled for 2012.

Since the Recapitalization and prior to the end of the fiscal year, the Company hired personnel with diverse backgrounds in General Management in Digital Media and Entertainment, along with specialists in Product Development, Engineering, Marketing, Analytics, Sales and Business Development, along with Human Resources, Finance and Legal for the purpose of furthering the business plan and building the first product.

Operations

We are creating a social media experience around traditional media consumption that encourages consumer participation and active engagement through incentives, brand-sponsored content, and network-sponsored content.  We intend to market our service through various channels, including online advertising, broad-based media (such as television and radio), as well as various strategic partnerships.  We intend to utilize co-location facilities and the services of third-party cloud computing providers, more specifically, Amazon Web Services, to help us efficiently manage and create our platform.

Revenue

Our plan is to derive revenues from advertising programs and marketing solutions generated from two revenue streams, entertainment providers and brand advertisers.  We will begin operations by offering a new social media experience to consumers to drive engagement with providers and brands through our digital mobile services, with focus on smartphone applications.  Initially, we anticipate revenues to be generated substantially in the United States.

Seasonality
 
Our revenue is expected to exhibit a seasonal pattern that reflects variation in accordance with entertainment offerings and the desire of advertisers to try to influence consumers’ purchasing habits.  As a consequence, revenue is expected to vary modestly throughout the year, although we anticipate revenues to be slowest in the third calendar quarter.  Additionally, the growth in variable expenses associated with marketing, new product releases, consumer incentives, and advertising services will fluctuate with revenue, but not necessarily by the same percentage.
 
Competition
 
The market for digital and social media applications is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change.  New competitors may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost.  Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple digital brands and products and can easily shift consumption from one provider to another.  Our principal competitors are in segments such as the following:
 
●           Applications promoting social TV experience and discussions; and
 
●           White-label providers of social media and media-specific applications.
 
The Recapitalization

 Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, invested in the Company by acquiring 120,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in a private placement transaction at a price of $0.03 per share (on a post-split basis as described below), as a result of which Sillerman and the other investors acquired approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of common stock, with Sillerman (together with Robert F.X. Sillerman personally) directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. Upon consummation, the proceeds of the private placement of $3,600 ($220 in cash and $3,380 in five-year promissory notes with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the recapitalization agreement, which was 4.15% per annum) were received.

Immediately after the Recapitalization was consummated, the Company issued 13,232,597 shares of common stock to an institutional investor (for $10,000) at a price of approximately $0.76 per share, and 940,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor ($500) at a price of approximately $0.53 per share. The shares of common stock issued in such placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the safe harbors for sales under Section 4(2) provided by Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.  No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities.  Transfer of the shares was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.

On February 16, 2011, the Company issued a five-year warrant for 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.80 per share to Berenson Investments LLC.  Berenson & Company, LLC, an affiliate of Berenson Investments LLC, was the financial advisor to Sillerman in connection with the Recapitalization.  On May 9, 2011, Berenson Investments LLC exercised the warrant and paid $80 for 100,000 shares of our common stock.

As part of the Recapitalization, the Company also issued 250,000 shares to J. Howard, Inc., an entity affiliated with Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt of $171 owed to J. Howard, Inc. The fair market value of the shares at issuance was $0.03 per share.  The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount.  In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.

As part of the Recapitalization, the Company effectuated a 1 for 10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-tenth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share.  All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

Former Business

After our incorporation and during the period from December 1996 to March 2000, we had no operating business or full time employees.  On March 21, 2000, we acquired Oaktree pursuant to a stock purchase agreement.  Through Oaktree, we provided cost effective marketing solutions to organizations needing sophisticated information management tools.  The purchase price of Oaktree was approximately $4,100, consisting of $2,000 in cash, the issuance of 600,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company and the assumption of approximately $650 of debt, which was repaid at the closing date, plus certain fees and expenses.  In December 2007, Oaktree sold 5,624 shares of its common stock to Marketing Data, Inc., an affiliate of an officer of Oaktree, for $1.  As a result, our ownership interest in Oaktree was reduced to 20% of Oaktree’s outstanding common stock.  In connection with this transaction, we agreed to make a capital contribution of $225 to Oaktree at closing.  As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss on sale of subsidiary in the amount of $4,238,392 during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 In July 2005, we sold 500,000 shares of 10% Series A Preferred Stock to Steel Partners II, L.P., an affiliate of Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and, at the time, our largest stockholder, for a purchase price of $1,467.  In addition, we sold to Steel Partners II warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.22 per share, for a purchase price of $33.  On May 15, 2008, we repurchased all of the Preferred Stock and Warrants originally issued to Steel Partners II for a purchase price of $1.  None of the Warrants were ever exercised by Steel Partners II and no dividend was paid on the Preferred Stock.

On October 24, 2010, Oaktree repurchased our remaining 20% interest in Oaktree for $0.1.  As a result, Marketing Data, Inc. owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of Oaktree.  The disposition of our interest in Oaktree enabled us to begin to explore the redeployment of our existing assets by identifying and merging with, or acquiring, or investing in, one or more operating businesses, which resulted in the Recapitalization.

Revenues
 
There were no revenues in the prior year.  The Company has yet to generate revenue since changing its line of business in 2011.
 
General and Administrative Expenses

Operating expenses increased $19,961 in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily due to personnel costs ($12,325, including $10,772 in non-cash stock based compensation), developing a new product ($2,150), and the other costs associated with a startup company ($5,482).  Operating expenses in 2010 were nominal.

Interest Income, Net
 
Net interest income increased $62 in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily due to notes receivable issued for common stock as part of the Recapitalization.  There was no interest income in 2010.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash
 
At June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had cash balances of $3,794 and $0, respectively. From 2007 until the Recapitalization, J. Howard, Inc., an affiliate of Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, advanced funds to the Company to support our daily operations. 

Pursuant to the Recapitalization, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, invested in the Company by acquiring 120,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in a private placement transaction, in which we raised $3,600 ($220 in cash and $3,380 in five-year promissory notes with interest accruing at 4.15% per annum).

As a result of the private placements to Adage Capital Management LP (“Adage”) and KPLB LLC (“KPLB”), both selling stockholders in the Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2011, we have raised $10,500.

On August 25, 2011, the Company completed the placement of 14,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one (1) share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share of the Company and (ii) one (1) detachable three (3) year warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $4.00 per warrant share, at a purchase price of $2.50 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000 to accredited and institutional investors.  The proceeds of the offering, less expenses, are to be used for general corporate purposes, including marketing and product development.  The Company believes that the net cash raised in the private placement should be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next fiscal year.  For more information regarding the private placement, see Note 13, Subsequent Events.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material impact on the Company.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

During the year ended June 30, 2011, there have been no significant changes related to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The following accounting policies require significant management judgments and estimates:
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets.  Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal.  Based on its review, the Company believes that as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

Internal Use Software

The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of internal use software in accordance with ASC 350-40.  When capitalized, the Company will amortize the costs of computer software developed for internal use on a straight-line basis or appropriate usage basis over the estimated useful life of the software.  Currently, the Company is in the application development stage of its computer software development and, appropriately, certain costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $317 and $0 as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.  For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants issued.  Stock-based awards issued to date are comprised principally of restricted stock awards (RSUs).

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to market risk arising from changes in market rates and prices, interest rates and the market price of our common stock. To mitigate these risks, we may utilize derivative financial instruments, among other strategies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
 
We are exposed to market risk arising from changes in market rates and prices, interest rates and the market price of our common stock. To mitigate these risks, we may utilize derivative financial instruments, among other strategies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To the extent that our deposits are in excess of Federal deposit insurance program maximums, we bear that potential risk.
 
Foreign Exchange Risk
 
We presently have no operations outside the United States. As a result, we do not believe that our financial results have been or will be materially impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk
 
Although certain subscription agreements were funded on the basis of promissory notes, the interest rate in those notes has been fixed and is not subject to variation.  To the extent that we have or maintain deposits with financial institutions that pay interest on those deposits, we have market risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Function(x) Inc.: 
New York, New York
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Function(x) Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) 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. The Company is not required to, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Function(x) Inc. at June 30, 2011 and 2010 , and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

1.  Basis of Presentation
 
On February 24, 2011, the Company changed its year-end from December 31 to June 30. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 have been presented to reflect twelve months of activities and reflect the results of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of  the Company include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
2.  Organization and Background
 
Formation and Former Business

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994 and had no operating business or full-time employees from December 1996 to 2000, when it acquired all of the outstanding Common Stock of Oaktree Systems, Inc. (“Oaktree”).  Through Oaktree, the Company provided cost effective marketing solutions to organizations needing sophisticated information management tools.  In December 2007, Marketing Data, Inc. acquired an 80% interest in Oaktree for $1 and the Company’s ownership interest in Oaktree was reduced to 20% of Oaktree’s outstanding Common Stock.   On October 24, 2010, Oaktree repurchased the Company’s remaining 20% interest in Oaktree for $0.10.  As a result, Marketing Data, Inc. owned 100% of the outstanding Common Stock of Oaktree.   After the disposition of the Company’s interest in Oaktree and prior to the Recapitalization, the Company was not active and had no operating business.  After the disposition of the Oaktree interest, the Company began to explore the redeployment of its existing assets by identifying and merging with or investing in one or more operating businesses.  The Board of Directors approved the Recapitalization effecting such change.

The Recapitalization
 
As previously disclosed, on February 7, 2011, Function(x) Inc. (formerly Gateway Industries, Inc., the “Company”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization (the “Recapitalization Agreement”) by and among the Company, Sillerman Investment Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sillerman”), and EMH Howard LLC, a New York limited liability company (“EMH Howard”). 

Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, invested in the Company by acquiring 120,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in a private placement transaction at a price of $0.03 per share (on a post-split basis as described below), as a result of which Sillerman and the other investors acquired approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of common stock, with Sillerman (together with Robert F.X. Sillerman personally) directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. Upon consummation, the proceeds of the private placement of $3,600 ($220 in cash and $3,380 in five-year promissory notes with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the Recapitalization Agreement, which was 4.15% per annum) were received.

On February 16, 2011, immediately after the Recapitalization was consummated, the Company issued 13,232,597 shares of common stock to an institutional investor (for $10,000) at a price of approximately $0.76 per share, and 940,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor ($500) at a price of approximately $0.53 per share. The shares of common stock issued in such placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the safe harbors for sales under Section 4(2) provided by Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.  Transfer of the shares was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.

On February 16, 2011, the Company issued a five year warrant for 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.80 per share to Berenson Investments LLC.  Berenson & Company, LLC, an affiliate of Berenson Investments LLC, was the financial advisor to Sillerman in connection with the Recapitalization.  On May 9, 2011, Berenson Investments LLC exercised the warrant and paid $80 for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

As part of the Recapitalization, the Company also issued 250,000 shares to J. Howard, Inc., an entity affiliated with Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt of $171 owed to J. Howard, Inc. The fair market value of the shares at issuance was $0.03 per share.  The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount.  In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.
 
 
22

 

As part of the Recapitalization, the Company effectuated a 1 for 10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective on February 16, 2011. Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-tenth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share.  All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

The newly recapitalized company changed its name to Function (X) Inc. effective as of the date of the Recapitalization and changed its name to Function(x) Inc. on June 22, 2011.  It now conducts its business under the name Function(x) Inc., with the ticker symbol FNCX.  We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Project Oda, Inc. and Viggle Inc, each a Delaware corporation.

The Company’s New Line of Business

The Company’s business is to create and manage digital products and services that encourage consumer participation and active engagement with media and entertainment content.  These digital media products are designed to accommodate a variety of media and entertainment experiences, including but not limited to television, movies, games and music.  The Company plans to generate revenues from advertising, sponsorship, e-commerce and other sources based on the aggregation of registered users.

The Company plans to host, maintain, develop and operate a suite of digital products that will leverage proprietary technology.  The initial products will be delivered via mobile applications and websites, marketed to high value media consumers.  In addition, the Company is developing and managing software and databases for the identification of multimedia content, commercials, and promotional information that will be used on multiple types of internet-connected devices.  We will also use our software and databases to deliver highly targeted advertising and marketing solutions via digital services, initially on mobile phones and other handheld mobile devices.

The Company’s initial product design will be distributed on a variety of mainstream mobile operating systems.  The products will verify user engagement of various forms of entertainment content through a real-time check-in process.  The initial market for the product targets TV audiences across various channels and platforms:  broadcast and cable networks, live, time-shifted and on-demand television, as well as online distribution of television programming.  The Company’s consumer participation and engagement will be limited to participants who are 13 years of age or older.

The Beta product was delivered for usability testing in September and will undergo further testing in the fourth quarter of calendar 2011.  The Company is targeting an initial release to be made in such quarter or early 2012.  The national launch to a wider general audience is scheduled for 2012.

Since the Recapitalization and prior to the end of the fiscal year, the Company hired personnel with diverse backgrounds in General Management in Digital Media and Entertainment, along with specialists in Product Development, Engineering, Marketing, Analytics, Sales and Business Development, along with Human Resources, Finance and Legal for the purpose of furthering the business plan and building the first product.

Operations

We are creating a social media experience around traditional media consumption that encourages consumer participation and active engagement through incentives, brand-sponsored content, and network-sponsored content.  We intend to market our service through various channels, including online advertising, broad-based media (such as television and radio), as well as various strategic partnerships.  We intend to utilize co-location facilities and the services of third-party cloud computing providers, more specifically, Amazon Web Services, to help us efficiently manage and create our platform.

Revenue

Our plan is to derive revenues from advertising programs and marketing solutions generated from two revenue streams, entertainment providers and brand advertisers.  We will begin operations by offering a new social media experience to consumers to drive engagement with providers and brands through our digital mobile services, with focus on smartphone applications.  Initially, we anticipate revenues to be generated substantially in the United States.

Seasonality
 
Our revenue is expected to exhibit a seasonal pattern that reflects variation in accordance with entertainment offerings and the desire of advertisers to try to influence consumers’ purchasing habits.  As a consequence, revenue is expected to vary modestly throughout the year, although we anticipate revenues to be slowest in the third calendar quarter.  Additionally, the growth in variable expenses associated with marketing, new product releases, consumer incentives, and advertising services will fluctuate with revenue, but not necessarily by the same percentage.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Change of Fiscal Year:  On February 24, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change to the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with remaining maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value and primarily consists of money market funds that are readily convertible into cash.  Restricted cash comprises amounts held in deposits that were required as collateral under the lease of office space.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates include, among others, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, net realizable values on long-lived assets, certain accrued expense accounts, and estimates related to stock-based compensation.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company’s debt approximates fair value as current borrowing rates for the same or similar issues are the same as those that were given to the Company at the issuance of its debt.

Equipment

Equipment (consisting of computers, software, furniture and fixtures) is recorded at historical cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.  The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the depreciation method and period are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.  The useful life of the equipment is being depreciated over three years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets.  Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal.  Based on its review, the Company believes that as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.
 
 
24

 

Internal Use Software

The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of internal use software in accordance with ASC 350-40.  When capitalized, the Company will amortize the costs of computer software developed for internal use on a straight-line basis or appropriate usage basis over the estimated useful life of the software.  Currently, the Company is in the application development stage of its computer software development and, appropriately, certain costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $317 and $0 as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Marketing

Marketing costs are expensed as incurred.  Marketing expense for the Company in 2011 and 2010 was $1,005 and $0, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.  For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants issued.  Stock-based awards issued to date are comprised principally of restricted stock awards (RSUs).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.  The new standard changes the requirements for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable based on the relative selling price.  The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE or third-party evidence is available.  ASU 2009-13 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The Company does not expect that the provisions of the new guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which requires additional disclosures about the amounts of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.  This standard also clarifies existing disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring Level 2 and Level 3 measurements.  Since this new accounting standard only required additional disclosure, the adoption of the standard in the first quarter of 2010 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Additionally, effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, this standard will require additional disclosure and require an entity to present disaggregated information about activity in Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross basis, rather than one net amount.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement”, which amends ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This standard will be effective beginning in the first calendar quarter of 2012 and the Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  The ASU amends FASB Codification Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as they currently conform.

4.  Interests in Corporate Jet

The Company executed an agreement with NJI Sales, Inc. ("NetJets") to bundle a 3.125% fractional share of a G-IV jet owned by Mr. Sillerman with a value of $336 with a new 6.25% fractional share of a G-IV jet which was purchased from NetJets by the Company.  The purchase price for the 6.25% interest was $1,175, payable $235 upon signing and the balance of $940 in debt with interest at 6% per annum, monthly payments of $9 and, a five-year balloon of $661.   Monthly management fees (aggregate for both shares) are approximately $26.  Based on the anticipated travel schedule for Mr. Sillerman and the anticipated residual value of the plane at the end of the five-year period of usage, the Company is expected to realize cost savings. The Company’s Audit Committee approved entering into this related party transaction and on June 17, 2011, the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the transaction. The Company accounted for the transaction by recording the interests as investment assets and the related debt amounts to Mr. Sillerman and NetJets.

5.  Property and Equipment

Equipment, consisting of computers, software, furniture and furnishings, were purchased in connection with setting up the Company’s office space.  The amount of such purchase was $83.

6. Loans Payable
 
J. Howard, Inc. had been supporting the daily operations of the Company from 2007 until the Recapitalization.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company owed J. Howard, Inc. $82 as a result thereof, which amount was increased as of the completion of the Recapitalization on February 15, 2011 to $171.  As part of the Recapitalization, the Company issued 250,000 shares (at a fair market value of $0.03 per share) to J. Howard, Inc., a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt owed to J. Howard, Inc.  The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount.  In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.
 
As described in footnote 4 above, the Company financed the purchase of a 6.25% fractional interest in a G-IV jet.  The financing of $940 provides for interest at the rate of 6% per annum, monthly payments of $9 and a balloon payment at maturity in 5 years of $661.  Total payments on this debt in the next five years are as follows:

There are no lawsuits or claims pending against the Company.

8. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
 
As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were 300,000,000 and 1,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, respectively, and 134,941,797 and 419,280 (adjusted to reflect post reverse split shares) shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Except as otherwise provided by Delaware law, the holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. We may issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series as may be determined by our board of directors, who may establish the designation and number of shares of any series, and may determine, alter or revoke the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions pertaining to any wholly unissued series (but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding).
 
9. Share-Based Payments

Equity Incentive Plan
 
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period, on a straight-line basis. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants issued. Stock-based awards issued to date are comprised principally of restricted stock awards (RSUs).

The 2011 Executive Incentive Plan (the "Plan") of the Company was approved on February 21, 2011 by the written consent of the holder of a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Plan provides the Company the ability to grant to any officer, director, employee, consultant or other person who provides services to the Company or any related entity, options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards and performance awards, provided that only employees are entitled to receive incentive stock options in accordance with IRS guidelines. The Company reserved 30,000,000 shares of common stock for delivery under the Plan. Pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan and the employment agreements,  between February 15, 2011 and June 30, 2011 the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the grants of restricted stock described below.  The per share fair value of RSUs granted with service conditions was determined on the date of grant using the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

The total compensation expense of $10,772 was included in the accompanying Statement of Operations in general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2011.  There were no such expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010.  No shares actually vested during the periods and the grants provide for vesting annually in arrears over the next five years.  As of June 30, 2011 there was approximately $127 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost.

On February 16, 2011, the Company issued a five year warrant for 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.80 per share to Berenson & Company, LLC, financial advisor to Sillerman in connection with the Recapitalization, which vested on issuance. The fair value of the Berenson Warrant was determined to be $2,529 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model considering the contractual life of 5 years; expected volatility of 60%; and risk-free interest rate of 2.37%.  This amount was charged to general and administrative expense at the date of issuance.  On May 9, 2011, Berenson Investments LLC exercised the warrant and paid $80 for 100,000 shares of our common stock.

10.  Income Taxes
 
For the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record an income tax benefit because it has incurred taxable losses, it has no history of generating taxable income, and the Company cannot presently anticipate the realization of a tax benefit on its Net Operating Loss carryforward of $12,017 and $5,490 as of June 20, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established on the related deferred tax assets.   Because of the change of control pursuant to the Recapitalization, utilization of prior fiscal year net operating loss carryforwards of $5,490 will be substantially limited.

The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through income tax expense.
 
The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and city income taxation for years 2008 through 2010 under the normal statute of limitations. Generally, for state tax purposes, the Company’s 2008 through 2010 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under a four year statute of limitations.  However, certain states may keep their statute open for six to ten years.  There are no income tax audits currently in process with any taxing jurisdictions
 
11.  Related Party Transactions

Asset Contribution Agreement

At the closing of the Recapitalization, the Company entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with Sillerman Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SIC”), an affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman our Executive Chairman, whereby SIC assigned certain intellectual property assets used in its business to the Company in exchange for an agreement by the Company to reimburse SIC for expenses incurred in connection with the development of such intellectual property assets and its related business, whenever incurred, at or after the closing, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,000.  Pursuant thereto, $1,312 was reimbursed and charged to general and administrative expense in the fiscal year.  This total amount was expensed since the reimbursement related to business operating expenses and expenses related to the development of the Company’s product which were incurred during the preliminary stages of product development and are to be expensed under the guidance of ASC 350-40. Because such transaction was subject to certain rules regarding “affiliated” transactions, the Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors approved such reimbursement.

Debt Owed to J. Howard Inc.

As of the Recapitalization, the Company owed J. Howard Inc. the amount of $171 in connection with supporting the daily operations of the Company since 2007.  As part of the Recapitalization, the Company issued 250,000 shares at fair market value of $0.03 per share to J. Howard, Inc., a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt owed to J. Howard, Inc and the remaining portion of the debt was satisfied by the Company as part of the Recapitalization on February 15, 2011. The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount.  In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.

Recapitalization Notes and Expenses
 
In connection with the Recapitalization, Robert F.X. Sillerman (and his spouse and entities controlled by him), and Mitchell Nelson, each executive officers of the Company, executed promissory notes in accordance with their subscription agreements for the payment of the purchase price of the shares, in the amounts of $3,242 and $10, respectively.  Each note is an unsecured five-year note with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the Recapitalization Agreement (which was 4.15% per annum).  Mr. Nelson satisfied his note on April 1, 2011.  The notes are due five years after issuance, with interest accrued at the rate of 4.15% per annum, and have been presented as a reduction of the related paid in capital in the accompanying financial statements. Interest income recorded on these notes in the year ended June 30, 2011 is $49.

In addition, Sillerman Investment Company, LLC was relieved of the obligation to pay $200 in connection with the initial structure of the Recapitalization to J. Howard, Inc. as reimbursement of advances made by J. Howard, Inc. to the Company to support its daily obligations since 2007.  The obligation arose from the initial proposal that investors would invest directly in Sillerman Investment Company, LLC prior to the Recapitalization.  When the structure of the Recapitalization changed, resulting in investments directly in the Company in connection with the Recapitalization, the obligation to pay J. Howard, Inc. became the obligation of the Company.  Because such transaction involved a related party, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved and the independent members of the Board ratified the payment of the obligation by the Company.

Shared Services Agreement

In an effort to economize on costs and be efficient in its use of resources, the Company entered into a shared services agreement with Circle Entertainment Inc. (“Circle”) as of February 15, 2011, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mitchell J. Nelson, its General Counsel and General Counsel to Circle.  The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing on a 50/50 basis of the applicable support provided by either company to Mr. Nelson in connection with his capacity as General Counsel, and an allocation generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson, which are initially estimated to be divided evenly between the companies.  The Company is responsible for advancing the salary to Mr. Nelson for both companies and will be reimbursed by Circle for such salary and benefits (but not for any bonus, option or restricted share grant made by either company, which will be the responsibility of the company making such bonus, option or restricted share grant).  The agreement provides for the Chief Executive Officer or President of each Company to meet periodically to assess whether the services have been satisfactorily performed and to discuss whether the allocation has been fair.  The Audit Committee of each company’s Board of Directors will then review and, if appropriate, approve the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances.  Because this transaction is subject to certain rules regarding “affiliate” transactions, the Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors have approved the shared services agreement.  This is deemed to be an affiliate transaction because Mr. Sillerman is Chairman and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred and billed Circle $107 for support, consisting primarily of legal and administrative services. These services provided were approved by Circle’s Audit Committee and the Company’s Audit Committee and the related fees were paid ($25 was paid after June 30, 2011).

In addition, certain of the Company’s accounting personnel may provide personal accounting services to our Executive Chairman, Robert F.X. Sillerman.  To the extent such services are rendered, Mr. Sillerman shall reimburse the Company therefor.  The reimbursement for any such services shall be reviewed by the Company’s Audit Committee.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, $18 was incurred and paid by Mr. Sillerman for such services ($4 was paid after June 30, 2011).

Consultant

Benjamin Chen, an independent director, is acting as a consultant to the Company in the area of technology, systems architecture and technical operations.  He has been paid $72 for his services through June 30, 2011.
 
NetJets

The Company executed an agreement with NetJets to bundle a 3.125% fractional share of a G-IV jet owned by Mr. Sillerman with a value of $336 with a new 6.25% fractional share of a G-IV jet which was purchased from NetJets by the Company.  The purchase price for the 6.25% interest was $1,175, payable $235 upon signing and the balance of $940 is financed with interest at 6% per annum, monthly payments of $9 and, a five-year balloon of $661.   Monthly management fees (aggregate for both shares) are approximately $26.  Based on the anticipated travel schedule for Mr. Sillerman and the anticipated residual value of the plane at the end of the five-year period of usage, the Company is expected to realize cost savings. The Company’s Audit Committee approved entering into this related party transaction, and on June 17, 2011, the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the transaction. The Company accounted for the transaction by recording the interests as investment assets and the related debt amounts to Mr. Sillerman and NetJets.

12. Fair Value Measurement

The Company values its assets and liabilities using the methods of fair value as described in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, and considers counter-party credit risk in its assessment of fair value.  Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions based on the best information available.

The Company has certain assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The Company’s investment in overnight money market institutional funds, which amounted to $3,797 as of June 30, 2011, is included in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is classified as a Level 1 input.  The carrying value for Cash and Cash Equivalents and Accounts Payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company’s debt of $940 to finance the purchase of an interest in a G-IV jet approximates fair value due to market interest rates. It is not practical to fair value the $336 for the related party debt.

13.  Subsequent Events (unaudited)

Private Placement
 
On August 25, 2011, the Company completed the placement of 14,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one (1) share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share of the Company and (ii) one (1) detachable three (3) year warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $4.00 per warrant share, at a purchase price of $2.50 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000 to accredited and institutional investors.  The Units issued in such placement were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the safe harbors for sales under Section 4(2) provided by Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.  Transfer of the shares was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.  The proceeds of the offering, $35,000, are to be used for general corporate purposes, including marketing and product development.  Tejas Securities Group, Inc. (“Tejas”) and Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC acted as placement agents in connection with the offering and received compensation of $1,350 and $165, respectively.  Tejas purchased units in the offering for $713 and received as additional compensation a five-year warrant for 540,000 common shares at $2.50 per share and 100,000 warrants on the same basis as the investors.  Sillerman Investment Company, LLC purchased $5,000 worth of Units in the placement, and Sillerman Investment Company, LLC, as nominee purchased $6,376 of Units in the placement. The Company will take a compensation charge in the first quarter of approximately $17,162 as a result of the foregoing, resuting from selling shares to executives below fair value.
 
Stock Option Grants

On August 26, 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted a Company-wide stock option program and granted to 32 employees an aggregate of 3,545,000 non-qualified stock options at $2.50 per share or $5.00 per share, depending on recipient, vesting over three to four years, depending on when the employee started at the Company.  The Company will take a compensation charge in the first quarter of approximately $1,037 as a result of the foregoing.
 
On August 12, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan for non-management directors.  Each director is to receive 250,000 non-qualified stock options for common shares of the Company under the Executive Equity Incentive Plan.  The initial grant was made on August 26, 2011 at $2.50 per share.  One-fourth of the grant vested on the grant date and the balance will vest pro-rata annually in arrears over the next three years, so long as the director remains in office on the vesting date. The Company will take a compensation charge in the first quarter of approximately $1,566 as a result of the foregoing.

ITEM 9.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
As has been previously reported, on February 25, 2011, the board of directors dismissed Radin, Glass & Co., LLP ("RGC") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of RGC on the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and through February 24, 2011, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with RGC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RGC, would have caused RGC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company's financial statements for such years.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and through May 23, 2011, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
 
ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities & Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2011, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404) and as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management is required to provide the following report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:
 
1. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
 
2. The Company’s management has evaluated the system of internal control using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework. Management has selected the COSO framework for its evaluation as it is a control framework recognized by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board that is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurement of the Company’s internal controls, is sufficiently complete so that relevant controls are not omitted and is relevant to an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting.
 
3. Based on management’s evaluation under this framework, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 was effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

However, in the event that any amount payable to Ms. Scardino upon a “change of control” would be nondeductible by the Company under the rules set forth in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, then the amount payable to Ms. Scardino shall be reduced to the maximum amount that would be payable but which would remain deductible under Section 280G of the IRC. If a change of control were to occur as of June 30, 2011, Ms. Scardino would receive $13,975.

ITEM 13CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
There are a number of conflicts of interest of which stockholders should be aware regarding our ownership and operations. Set forth below is a list of related parties with whom we have engaged in one or more transactions as well as a summary of each transaction involving such related parties.
 
Related Parties

Circle Entertainment Inc. and the Company have entered into a shared services agreement relating to services to be performed by Mitchell J. Nelson as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of both companies to share employment and overhead-related expenses.  Circle Entertainment Inc. is a publicly traded company controlled by Robert F.X. Sillerman. 

Asset Contribution Agreement

At the closing of the Recapitalization, the Company entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with Sillerman Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SIC”), an affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman our Executive Chairman, whereby SIC assigned certain intellectual property assets used in its business to the Company in exchange for an agreement by the Company to reimburse SIC for expenses incurred in connection with the development of such intellectual property assets and its related business, whenever incurred, at or after the closing, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,000.  Pursuant thereto, $1,312 was reimbursed and charged to general and administrative expense in the fiscal year.  This total amount was expensed since the reimbursement related to business operating expenses and expenses related to the development of the Company’s product which were incurred during the preliminary stages of product development and are to be expensed under the guidance of ASC 350-40.  Because such transaction was subject to certain rules regarding “affiliated” transactions, the Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors approved such reimbursement.

Debt Owed to J. Howard Inc.

As of the Recapitalization, the Company owed J. Howard Inc. the amount of $171 in connection with supporting the daily operations of the Company since 2007.  As part of the Recapitalization, the Company issued 250,000 shares at fair market value of $0.03 per share to J. Howard, Inc., a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt owed to J. Howard, Inc and the remaining portion of the debt was satisfied by the Company as part of the Recapitalization on February 15, 2011. The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount.  In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.

Recapitalization Notes and Expenses

In connection with the Recapitalization, Robert F.X. Sillerman (and his spouse and entities controlled by him), and Mitchell Nelson, each executive officers of the Company, executed promissory notes in accordance with their subscription agreements for the payment of the purchase price of the shares, in the amounts of $3,242 and $10, respectively.  Each note is an unsecured five-year note with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the Recapitalization Agreement (which was 4.15% per annum).  Mr. Nelson satisfied his note on April 1, 2011.  The notes are due five years after issuance, with interest accrued at the rate of 4.15% per annum, and have been presented as a reduction of the related paid in capital in the accompanying financial statements. Interest income recorded on these notes in the year ended June 30, 2011 is $49.
 
In addition, Sillerman Investment Company, LLC was relieved of the obligation to pay $200 in connection with the initial structure of the Recapitalization to J. Howard, Inc. as reimbursement of advances made by J. Howard, Inc. to the Company to support its daily obligations since 2007.  The obligation arose from the initial proposal that investors would invest directly in Sillerman Investment Company, LLC prior to the Recapitalization.  When the structure of the Recapitalization changed, resulting in investments directly in the Company in connection with the Recapitalization, the obligation to pay J. Howard, Inc. became the obligation of the Company.  Because such transaction involved a related party, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved and the independent members of the Board ratified the payment of the obligation by the Company.

Shared Services Agreement

In an effort to economize on costs and be efficient in its use of resources, the Company entered into a shared services agreement with Circle Entertainment Inc. ("Circle") as of February 15, 2011, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mitchell J. Nelson, its General Counsel and General Counsel to Circle.  The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing on a 50/50 basis of the applicable support provided by either company to Mr. Nelson in connection with his capacity as General Counsel, and an allocation generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson, which are initially estimated to be divided evenly between the companies.  The Company is responsible for advancing the salary to Mr. Nelson for both companies and will be reimbursed by Circle for such salary and benefits (but not for any bonus, option or restricted share grant made by either company, which will be the responsibility of the company making such bonus, option or restricted share grant).  The agreement provides for the Chief Executive Officer or President of each Company to meet periodically to assess whether the services have been satisfactorily performed and to discuss whether the allocation has been fair.  The Audit Committee of each company’s Board of Directors will then review and, if appropriate, approve the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances.  Because this transaction is subject to certain rules regarding “affiliate” transactions, the Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors have approved the shared services agreement.  This is deemed to be an affiliate transaction because Mr. Sillerman is Chairman and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred and billed Circle $107 for support, consisting primarily of legal and administrative services. These services provided were approved by Circle’s Audit Committee and the Company’s Audit Committee and the related fees were paid ($25 was paid after June 30, 2011).

In addition, certain of the Company’s accounting personnel may provide personal accounting services to our Executive Chairman, Robert F.X. Sillerman.  To the extent such services are rendered, Mr. Sillerman shall reimburse the Company therefor.  The reimbursement for any such services shall be reviewed by the Company’s Audit Committee.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, $18 was incurred and paid by Mr. Sillerman for such services ($4 was paid after June 30, 2011).
 
Board Decisions and Certain Conflicts of Interest
 
Past and future decisions by our board regarding our future growth, operations and major corporate decisions will be subject to certain possible conflicts of interest. These conflicts may have caused, and in the future may cause, our business to be adversely affected. Nevertheless, our board will be responsible for making decisions on our behalf. In appropriate circumstances, we expect to submit transactions with any related party for approval or negotiation by our independent directors or a special committee thereof.
 
Independent Directors
 
The Company has Corporate Governance Guidelines which provide, among other things, that a majority of the Company’s Board must meet the criteria for independence required by The NASDAQ Global Market and that the Company shall at all times have an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which committees will be made up entirely of independent directors.  Although the Company is not listed on The NASDAQ Global Market, the Company intends to comply with these criteria.  Rules 4200 and 4350 of The NASDAQ Global Market require that a majority of our Board qualify as “independent”.
 
Messrs.  Chen, Horan, Miller, and Rascoff and Ms. Seitler, whose biographical information is included above under the heading “Executive Officers and Directors of Function(x) Inc.,” have been appointed to our Board as independent directors and qualify as such under the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Market.
