ITEM 1.BUSINESS

 

History of Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.

 

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. ("Mandalay" or the "Company" or, in the first person as “we” “us” and “our”), was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 6, 1998 under the name eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 27, 2000, the Company merged into DynamicWeb Enterprises Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and changed its name to eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 13, 2005, the Company changed its name to Mediavest, Inc. On November 7, 2007, through a merger, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware under the name Mandalay Media, Inc.  

 

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

On October 27, 2004, and as amended on December 17, 2004, NeuMedia filed a plan for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Plan of Reorganization”). Under the Plan of Reorganization, as completed on January 26, 2005: (1) NeuMedia’s net operating assets and liabilities were transferred to the holders of its secured notes in satisfaction of the principal and accrued interest thereon; (2) $400,000 was transferred to a liquidation trust and used to pay administrative costs and certain preferred creditors; (3) $100,000 was retained by NeuMedia to fund the expenses of remaining public; (4) 3.5% of the new common stock of NeuMedia (140,000 shares) was issued to the holders of record of NeuMedia’s preferred stock in settlement of their liquidation preferences; (5) 3.5% of the new common stock of NeuMedia (140,000 shares) was issued to common stockholders of record as of January 26, 2005 in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the company; and (6) 93% of the new common stock of NeuMedia (3,720,000 shares) was issued to the sponsor of the Plan of Reorganization in exchange for $500,000 in cash. Through January 26, 2005, NeuMedia and its subsidiaries were engaged in providing business-to-business transaction management services designed to simplify trading between buyers and suppliers.

 

Prior to February 12, 2008, NeuMedia was a public shell company with no operations, and controlled by its significant stockholder, Trinad Capital Master Fund, L.P.

 

From February 12, 2008 to October 23, 2008, our sole operations were those of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Twistbox. In October 2008, we acquired AMV Holding Limited and its subsidiaries, a mobile media and marketing company. On June 21, 2010, we sold AMV Holding Limited and its subsidiaries.

 

Current Operations

 

Mandalay is at the convergence of Internet media content and mobile communications. We are an established provider of mobile services enabling mobile content distribution and transactions serving Mobile Operators, End Consumers, and Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM’s) of mobile devices and tablets. Our software as a service ("SaaS") based platform delivers a mobile services platform that works with mobile operators and third-party publishers to provide portal management, user interface, content development and billing technology that enables the ecosystem required for the global distribution of mobile content. Our platforms enable our customers to implement an intuitive user experience and storefront, enabling the discovery, purchase and download of mobile content. Our integrated solutions address the mobile ecosystem spanning mobile optimized websites, mobile applications, mobile merchandising and content management, mobile messaging, mobile advertising, mobile billing and predictive analytics. Our solutions allow our customers to drive loyalty, generate revenue and reengineer business processes to capture the advantages of their mobile-enabled customer base.

We are headquartered in Los Angeles and have offices in Europe to support global sales and marketing.

 

Key Operating Divisions

 

Digital Turbine

 

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

With the acquisition and integration of the assets of Digital Turbine, the Company will be able to provide an end-to-end, modular platform to the Company’s existing carrier customers. The combined Digital Turbine offering allows new and existing customers to choose from a fully outsourced, smart mobile ecosystem to more efficient, modular components that can be integrated with different operating systems to provide a more unified experience for end-users of mobile content across search, discovery, billing, and delivery.

 

Based upon the initial launch data, the Company believes there is an opportunity to integrate its DT platform with new and existing mobile carriers. Mobile carriers are facing increased competition from competing mobile application storefronts and improved user experiences from other retailing, social networking, and operating system providers including Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. As a result, operators are looking for new, innovative solutions for how they better manage their existing user experience. The DT platform can be “white-labeled” to allow operators to custom tailor their own unique branding experience to the customer.

 

In addition to improved user experiences, many operators are looking for end-to-end solutions for their mobile storefronts that include procuring and programming the content, managing the content experience, ingesting content into the content management system (CMS), securely installing and de-installing applications from the device, and integrating with the back-end elements such as billing interfaces, analytics, settlement, and reporting.

 

Twistbox Entertainment, Inc.

 

Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”) is a global publisher, developer and enabler of mobile content and data services across mobile networks. Twistbox provides its services in over 14 countries supporting over 50 carriers. Since operations began in 2003, Twistbox has developed an intellectual property portfolio that includes a proprietary mobile publishing platform covering: tools that automate device management; distribution and billing technology; a mobile games development, distribution and retail platform; and a content ratings system adopted by wireless carriers globally to assist with the deployment of age-verified content. Twistbox has leveraged its intellectual property and carrier-class platforms to secure agreements with leading mobile operators throughout the world including, among others, Vodafone, Telefonica, Orange, and Hutchison’s 3.

 

We are considering the future status and role of Twistbox in relation to our focus on the DT platform. Although it is our only active business, Twistbox revenues have been declining, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. At the same time, we intend to seek to leverage its existing customer base for offerings by DT. While we believe the offering of DT’s platform to Twistbox customers is an attractive strategy, it entails significant risks, some of which are described in “Risk Factors”, and include the possibility that Twistbox may operate at a deficit while we need to make investments to effectively launch DT, which, in turn, entails business and financial risks and the possibility of needing additional capital and the associate dilution.

 

Twistbox’s target customers are the highly-mobile, digitally-aware 18 to 40 year old demographic. This group is a leading consumer of new mobile handsets and represents more than 50% of mobile content consumption revenue globally. In addition, this group is very focused on consumer lifestyle brands and is much sought after by advertisers.

 

On February 12, 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on December 31, 2007, as subsequently amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 12, 2008, with Twistbox Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeuMedia (“Merger Sub”), Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”), and Adi McAbian and Spark Capital, L.P., as representatives of the stockholders of Twistbox, as part of which Merger Sub merged with and into Twistbox, with Twistbox as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, Twistbox became the sole operating subsidiary of NeuMedia until the acquisition of AMV Holding Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company (“AMV”) on October 23, 2008 as described below.

Revenue

 

Twistbox’s revenue model includes pay-per-download and a growing base of recurring subscription services. Video services include daily, weekly and monthly subscriptions to access a specific mobile site or suite of mobile TV channels. Twistbox also earns revenue for platform and portal management, carrier development projects, and by licensing its platform to mobile operators and other 3rd party vendors. Since the year ended March 31, 2010 the total revenue earned by Twistbox has materially declined due in part to overall market conditions and the general shift in end-user discovery of content services. These trends are likely to continue as more and more users begin to use their mobile devices to search for content. The Company’s strategy is to work with mobile carriers to try to recapture and grow market share by offering its DT platform to new and existing customers.

 

Twistbox leverages its distribution channels within carrier portals to generate revenue from subscriptions on mobile sites that Twistbox manages on an exclusive and non-exclusive basis. Twistbox bills and receives payment directly through mobile carriers and billing aggregators which form the majority of its revenue. Billings from mobile operators or billing aggregators comprise more than 50% of its collections. Twistbox’s cost of revenues represents license fees paid to content providers, which currently averages approximately 12% of revenues. Other costs of revenues include customer service fees, and traffic and streaming fees.

 

Value Added Services for Mobile Content and Game Development

 

Twistbox is focusing its development activities on value-added services such as in-application billing technology that enables carriers and billing aggregators to offer solutions such as try-before-you-buy, rentals, and virtual goods. Twistbox has agreements in place with some of the world’s largest mobile network operators and billing aggregators to offer its In-Application Billing solution.

 

Twistbox also develops games and applications that work with a number of languages, platforms, and formats. It has been actively involved in a number of technical initiatives aimed at enhancing its titles with value-added features, such as multi-player functionality, 3D graphics, and location-based features. Twistbox continues to develop new applications to assure that it has a steady supply of new content and services to offer its customers. Twistbox believes it is an industry trend that the overall market for mobile entertainment should continue to increase as new storefronts proliferate and mobile operators continue to roll out their next-generation service offerings and advanced handsets offering improvements in billing, data handling capability, graphics resolution and other features.

 

Carrier-Class Publishing Platform

 

Renux™ is Twistbox’s carrier-class content management and publishing platform developed for the deployment, billing and marketing of mobile content and applications. The system has been in operation for over five years and today supports over 350 mobile sites, and more than 66 mobile TV channels. The Renux™ content management system stores image and video content formatted for a wide range of mobile devices, and incorporates a comprehensive metadata format that categorizes the content for handset recognition, programming, marketing and reporting. Twistbox maintains content hosting facilities in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Frankfurt that support the distribution of content across mobile operator networks globally.

RapidPort

 

RapidPort™ is Twistbox’s software suite that enables the development and porting of mobile games and applications to over 1,500 different handsets from leading manufacturers including Apple, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. Twistbox has created an automated handset abstraction tool that significantly reduces the time required to “port” a game across a significant number of these handsets. The RapidPort™ development platform supports a broad number of wireless device formats including iOS, Android, J2ME, BREW, DoJa and Symbian, and provides localization in over 18 languages. Twistbox has enhanced RapidPort™ to include new technology designed to enhance titles with value-added features, such as in-application billing, multi-player and play-for-prizes functionality, 3D graphics and location-based services (LBS).

 

 Nitro-CDP

 

Nitro-CDP™ is a content download and delivery platform for mobile network operators, portals and content publishers. The Nitro-CDP™ platform allows for real-time content upload, editing, rating and deployment, and merchandising, while maintaining carrier-grade security, reliability and scalability. The platform enables mobile network operators to effectively manage millions of mobile download transactions across multiple channels and categories. Nitro-CDP™ also provides innovative cross-promotional tools, including purchase history-based up-sales and advertising, an individual “My Downloads” area for each consumer and peer-to-peer recommendations.

 

CMX Wrapper

 

The CMX Wrapper™ enables mobile operators to integrate additional and complimentary functionality into existing mobile games and applications without the need to alter the original code or involve the original developer. This value-added functionality includes support for in-game promotions and billing, and “try before you buy” and “refer a friend” functionality.

 

Play-for-Prizes - Competition Goes Mobile ®

 

The Twistbox Games for-prizes network offers several genres of games in which players compete in daily and weekly skill-based multiplayer tournaments to win prizes. Subscribers can compete in both daily head-to-head and weekly progressive tournaments. The Twistbox Games Play-for-Prizes platform enables unique in-game promotions through carrier-specific campaigns in cooperation with sponsors and advertisers.  On July 25, 2008, Twistbox filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office a patent application for the Improvements In Skill-Based Electronic Gaming Tournament Play having Serial Number 12/180,405.

 

Distribution

 

Twistbox distributes its programming and services through on-deck relationships with mobile carriers, off-deck relationships with third-party aggregators, and through affiliates.

 

Twistbox’s on-deck services include the programming and provisioning of games and games aggregation, images, videos and mobile TV content and portal management. Twistbox currently has on-deck agreements with more than 50 mobile operators including Vodafone, SFR, T-Mobile, Orange, and Telefonica in over 14 countries. Through these on-deck agreements, Twistbox relies on the carriers for both marketing and billing.

 

Twistbox off-deck services include the programming and distribution of images, videos, chat services and mobile marketing campaigns. Twistbox manages the campaigns directly and maintains billing and connectivity agreements with leading service providers in each territory. In addition, Twistbox maintains an affiliate program that allows for the sales and tracking of Twistbox mobile content by 3rd party publishers, partners and their affiliates.

 

7
 

 

Twistbox has established an affiliate program to market and sell its content off-deck. We believe that this channel offers an attractive secondary channel for consumers wishing to peruse and purchase content in an environment that is more niche focused than some operators’ “walled gardens.”

 

Mobile Operators (Carriers)

 

Twistbox currently has a large number of distribution agreements with mobile operators and portals in Europe, North America, and Latin America. Twistbox currently has distribution agreements with more than 50 single territory operators in 14 countries. The strength and coverage of these relationships is of paramount importance and the ability to support and service them is a vital channel for Twistbox’s new product offerings and services.

 

Trademarks, Trade names, Patent and Copyrights

 

Twistbox has used, registered and applied to register certain trademarks and service marks to distinguish its products, technologies and services from those of its competitors in the United States and in foreign countries. Twistbox also has a copyright known as the “WAAT Media Wireless Content Standards Ratings Matrix©”, which has been filed with the Library of Congress’s Copyright Office. On July 25, 2008, Twistbox filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office a patent application for the Improvements In Skill-Based Electronic Gaming Tournament Play having Serial Number 12/180,405. We believe that these trademarks, trade names, patent and copyrights are important to its business. The loss of some of Twistbox’s intellectual property might have a negative impact on its financial results and operations.

 

AMV Holding Limited

 

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

 

On June 21, 2010, the Company signed and closed an agreement whereby ValueAct and the AMV founders, acting through a newly formed company, acquired all of the AMV operating subsidiaries (the “Assets”) in exchange for the release of $23.2 million of secured indebtedness, comprising of a release of all amounts due and payable under the AMV Note and all of the amounts due and payable under the ValueAct Note (as defined below) except for $3.5 million in principal. The Company retained all assets and liabilities of Twistbox and the Company other than the AMV operating subsidiaries

Future Plans

 

As a result of both the needs of the operator and the need for the Company to scale its distribution, the Company is pursuing targeted acquisitions that will accelerate growth. On May 1, 2012, the Company announced a letter of intent to acquire Logia Mobile (“Logia”). Logia Mobile is an Israel-based developer of applications and provider of content. It has relationships with over 500 applications developers and content vendors, and currently operates in more than 20 countries providing services including in-app billing to more than 50 leading mobile carriers including: Cellcom, Vodafone, Verizon, Telefonica, Turkcell, Deutsche Telekom among others reaching over 1.5 billion mobile subscribers. In addition, Logia has existing partnerships with industry suppliers including Amdocs, Ericsson, and Alcatel-Lucent.  Mandalay plans on leveraging Logia’s distribution channels and complimentary technology to add to the Digital Turbine user experience by leveraging devices that are powered by Logia’s platform and CMS. The Company believes that certain of the assets of Twistbox could be utilized in assets potentially acquired from the transaction. Logia has no legal obligation to enter or consummate any transaction with us. Our letter of intent is non-binding and each side has the right to terminate discussions at any time. There is no assurance we will consummate any transaction with Logia. The Logia transaction would, if consummated, also present certain risks, as described below in “Risk Factors”

 

Competition

 

Twistbox is an established enabler of content management services designed for the complex needs and requirements of mobile carriers. The industry trend has been for carriers to focus on fewer partners and outsource their content retailing and infrastructure requirements. We believe that Twistbox’s reputation and existing integration with carriers globally enhances the Company’s overall position allowing it to continue to manage, evolve and offer new services for operators globally, principally the offering of the DT platform to Twistbox customers.

 

Twistbox competes with a number of other companies in the mobile content services industry, including Mondia Media, Net-M, Jesta, Buongiorno (recently acquired by NTT DoCoMo), Mobile Streams, and ZED Group. To the extent that such firms continue to focus on enabling services, they will compete directly with Twistbox. While Twistbox competes with many of the leading publishers, its core business is enabling services and platforms for operators and publishers to enhance revenues. In turn, through the management of an operator’s download platform, providing a cross carrier Play4Prizes infrastructure or facilitating in-application billing, Twistbox has become a strategic value added partner to both the mobile operator and publishing communities.

 

Our direct-to-consumer (D2C) products may have an adverse impact on Twistbox’s business, as these are products that require the acquisition of mobile traffic from 3rd party publishers that may not price their traffic at rates favorable to scale the business in certain countries.

 

We believe that the principal competitive factors in the market for mobile content and services include carrier relationships, access to compelling content, quality and reliability of content delivery, availability of talented content developers and skilled technical personnel, and financial stability.

 

Employees

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company, including its subsidiaries, had 33 employees, 30 of whom were full-time and 3 of whom were part-time. We consider our relationships with our employees to be satisfactory. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Risks Related to Our Business

 

The Company has a history of net losses, may incur substantial net losses in the future, and may not achieve profitability. 

 

We expect to continue to increase expenses as we implement initiatives designed to continue to grow our business, including, among other things, the development and marketing of new products and services, further international and domestic expansion, expansion of our infrastructure, development of systems and processes, acquisition of content, and general and administrative expenses associated with being a public company. If our revenues do not increase to offset these expected increases in operating expenses, we will continue to incur significant losses and will not become profitable. Our revenue growth in past periods should not be considered indicative of our future performance. In fact, in future periods, our revenues could decline as they have in recent years. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.

 

Also, should Twistbox continue to incur significant losses and not become profitable, we might have to sell all or part of Twistbox, or terminate operations, which could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to qualify for a listing on a senior exchange, and to finance possible acquisitions that we have considered.

 

In addition, assets acquired under the DT acquisition have not yet begun to generate revenues. If there are delays in the integration of DT or if we are unable to successfully negotiate with carriers or mobile operators or if these negotiations cannot occur on a timely basis, we may not be able to generate revenues through the DT assets in the foreseeable future or at all.

 

We are considering the future status and role of Twistbox in relation to our focus on the DT platform. Although it is our only active business, Twistbox revenues have been declining, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. At the same time, we intend to seek to leverage its existing customer base for offerings by DT. While we believe the offering of DT’s platform to Twistbox customers is an attractive strategy, it entails significant risks, some of which are described in “Risk Factors”, and include the possibility that Twistbox may operate at a deficit while we need to make investments to effectively launch DT, which, in turn, entails business and financial risks and the possibility of needing additional capital and the associate dilution.

 

We have a limited operating history in an emerging market, which may make it difficult to evaluate our business.  

 

We have only a limited history of generating revenues, and the future revenue potential of our business in this emerging market is uncertain. As a result of our short operating history, we have limited financial data that can be used to evaluate our business. Any evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered in light of our limited operating history and the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies in our stage of development. As an early stage company in the emerging mobile entertainment industry, we face increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties. To address these risks and uncertainties, we must do the following:

 

·maintain our current, and develop new, wireless carrier relationships, in both international and domestic markets;

 

·maintain and expand our current, and develop new, relationships with compelling content owners;

 

10
 

 

·retain or improve our current revenue-sharing arrangements with carriers and content owners;

 

·continue to develop new high-quality products and services that achieve significant market acceptance;

 

·continue to develop and upgrade our technology;

 

·continue to enhance our information processing systems;

 

·increase the number of end users of our products and services;

 

·execute our business and marketing strategies successfully;

 

·respond to competitive developments; and

 

·attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

 

We may be unable to accomplish one or more of these objectives, which could cause our business to suffer. In addition, accomplishing many of these efforts might be very expensive, which could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.

 

Our financial results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter and are difficult to predict.  

 

Twistbox’s revenues are declining and are expected to continue to decline. Our revenues and operating results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. In addition, we may not be able to predict our future revenues or results of operations. We base our current and future expense levels on our internal operating plans and sales forecasts, and our operating costs are to a large extent fixed. As a result, we may not be able to reduce our costs sufficiently to compensate for an unexpected shortfall in revenues, and even a small shortfall in revenues could disproportionately and adversely affect financial results for that quarter. Individual products and services, and carrier relationships, represent meaningful portions of our revenues and net loss in any quarter. In addition, some payments from carriers that we recognize as revenue on a cash basis may be delayed unpredictably.

 

In addition to other risk factors discussed in this section, factors that may contribute to the variability of our quarterly results include:

 

·the number of new products and services released by us and our competitors;

 

·the timing of release of new products and services by us and our competitors, particularly those that may represent a significant portion of revenues in a period;

 

·the popularity of new products and services, and products and services released in prior periods;

 

·changes in prominence of deck placement for our leading products and those of our competitors;

 

·the expiration of existing content licenses;

 

·the timing of charges related to impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, royalties and minimum guarantees;

 

11
 

 

·changes in pricing policies by us, our competitors or our carriers and other distributors;

 

·changes in the mix of original and licensed content, which have varying gross margins;

 

·the seasonality of our industry;

 

·fluctuations in the size and rate of growth of overall consumer demand for mobile products and services and related content;

 

·strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;

 

·our success in entering new geographic markets;

 

·foreign exchange fluctuations;

 

·accounting rules governing recognition of revenue;

 

·general economic, political and market conditions and trends;

 

·the timing of compensation expense associated with equity compensation grants; and

 

·decisions by us to incur additional expenses, such as increases in marketing or research and development.

 

As a result of these and other factors, our operating results may not meet the expectations of investors or public market analysts who choose to follow our company. Our failure to meet market expectations would likely result in decreases in the trading price of our common stock.

 

We currently rely on wireless carriers to market and distribute some of our products and services and thus to generate some of our revenues. The loss of or a change in any of these significant carrier relationships could cause us to lose access to their subscribers and thus materially reduce our revenues.  

 

The future success of our on-deck business is highly dependent upon maintaining successful relationships with the wireless carriers with which we currently work and establishing new carrier relationships in geographies where we have not yet established a significant presence. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a very limited number of carriers. We expect that we will continue to generate a substantial portion of our revenues through distribution relationships with a limited number of carriers for the foreseeable future. Our failure to maintain our relationships with these carriers would materially reduce our revenues and thus harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We have both exclusive and non-exclusive carrier agreements. Typically, carrier agreements have a term of one or two years with automatic renewal provisions upon expiration of the initial term, absent a contrary notice from either party. In addition, some carrier agreements provide that the carrier can terminate the agreement early and, in some instances, at any time without cause, which could give them the ability to renegotiate economic or other terms. The agreements generally do not obligate the carriers to market or distribute any of our products or services. In many of these agreements, we warrant that our products do not violate community standards, do not contain libelous content, do not contain material defects or viruses, and do not violate third-party intellectual property rights and we indemnify the carrier for any breach of a third party’s intellectual property. In addition, many of our agreements allow the carrier to set the retail price without adjustment to the negotiated revenue split. If one of these carriers sets the retail price below historic pricing models, the total revenues received from these carriers will be significantly reduced.

 

12
 

 

Many other factors outside our control could impair our ability to generate revenues through a given carrier, including the following:

 

·the carrier’s preference for our competitors’ products and services rather than ours;

 

·the carrier’s decision not to include or highlight our products and services on the deck of its mobile handsets;

 

·the carrier’s decision to discontinue the sale of some or all of products and services;

 

·the carrier’s decision to offer similar products and services to its subscribers without charge or at reduced prices;

 

·the carrier’s decision to require market development funds from publishers like us;

 

·the carrier’s decision to restrict or alter subscription or other terms for downloading our products and services;

 

·a failure of the carrier’s merchandising, provisioning or billing systems;

 

·the carrier’s decision to offer its own competing products and services;

 

·the carrier’s decision to transition to different platforms and revenue models; and

 

·consolidation among carriers.

 

If any of our carriers decides not to market or distribute our products and services or decides to terminate, not renew or modify the terms of its agreement with us or if there is consolidation among carriers generally, we may be unable to replace the affected agreement with acceptable alternatives, causing us to lose access to that carrier’s subscribers and the revenues they afford us, which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Failure to renew our existing brand and content licenses on favorable terms or at all and to obtain additional licenses would impair our ability to introduce new products and services or to continue to offer our products and services based on third-party content.  

 

Revenues are derived from our products and services based on or incorporating brands or other intellectual property licensed from third parties. Any of our licensors could decide not to renew our existing license or not to license additional intellectual property and instead license to our competitors or develop and publish its own products or other applications, competing with us in the marketplace. Several of these licensors already provide intellectual property for other platforms, and may have significant experience and development resources available to them should they decide to compete with us rather than license to us.

 

We have both exclusive and non-exclusive licenses and licenses that are both global and licenses that are limited to specific geographies. Our licenses generally have terms that range from two to five years. We may be unable to renew these licenses or to renew them on terms favorable to us, and we may be unable to secure alternatives in a timely manner. Failure to maintain or renew our existing licenses or to obtain additional licenses would impair our ability to introduce new products and services or to continue to offer our current products or services, which would materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Some of our existing licenses impose, and licenses that we obtain in the future might impose, development, distribution and marketing obligations on us. If we breach our obligations, our licensors might have the right to terminate our licenses, and such termination would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

13
 

 

Even if we are successful in gaining new licenses or extending existing licenses, we may fail to anticipate the entertainment preferences of our end users when making choices about which brands or other content to license. If the entertainment preferences of end users shift to content or brands owned or developed by companies with which we do not have relationships, we may be unable to establish and maintain successful relationships with these developers and owners, which would materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, some rights are licensed from licensors that have or may develop financial difficulties, and may enter into bankruptcy protection under U.S. federal law or the laws of other countries. If any of our licensors files for bankruptcy, our licenses might be impaired or voided, which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Inferior on-deck placement would likely adversely impact our revenues and thus our operating results and financial condition.  

 

Wireless carriers provide a limited selection of products that are accessible to their subscribers through a deck on their mobile handsets. The inherent limitation on the volume of products available on the deck is a function of the limited screen size of handsets and carriers’ perceptions of the depth of menus and numbers of choices end users will generally utilize. Carriers typically provide one or more top level menus highlighting products that are recent top sellers or are of particular interest to the subscriber, that the carrier believes will become top sellers or that the carrier otherwise chooses to feature, in addition to a link to a menu of additional products sorted by genre. We believe that deck placement on the top level or featured menu or toward the top of genre-specific or other menus, rather than lower down or in sub-menus, is likely to result in products achieving a greater degree of commercial success. If carriers choose to give our products less favorable deck placement, our products may be less successful than we anticipate, our revenues may decline and our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially harmed.

 

If we are unsuccessful in establishing and increasing awareness of our brand and recognition of our products and services or if we incur excessive expenses promoting and maintaining our brand or our products and services, our potential revenues could be limited, our costs could increase and our operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

 

We believe that establishing and maintaining our brand is critical to retaining and expanding our existing relationships with wireless carriers, content licensors, and mobile publishers as well as developing new relationships. Promotion of the Company’s brands will depend on our success in providing high-quality products and services. Similarly, recognition of our products and services by end users will depend on our ability to develop engaging products and quality services to maintain existing, and attracts new, business relationships and end users. However, our success will also depend, in part, on the services and efforts of third parties, over which we have little or no control. For instance, if our carriers fail to provide high levels of service, our end users’ ability to access our products and services may be interrupted, which may adversely affect our brand. If end users, branded content owners and carriers do not perceive our offerings as high-quality or if we introduce new products and services that are not favorably received by our end users and carriers, then we may be unsuccessful in building brand recognition and brand loyalty in the marketplace. In addition, globalizing and extending our brand and recognition of our products and services will be costly and will involve extensive management time to execute successfully. Further, the markets in which we operate are highly competitive and some of our competitors already have substantially more brand name recognition and greater marketing resources than we do. If we fail to increase brand awareness and consumer recognition of our products and services, our potential revenues could be limited, our costs could increase and our business, operating results and financial condition could suffer.

 

We currently rely on third-party billing aggregators to provide end-users with access to some of our products and services through premium short message system (Premium SMS), WAP billing and other technologies. The loss of, or a change in, any of these significant third-party relationships or the use of mobile billing technologies could reduce the number of transactions initiated by these end-users and thus materially reduce our revenues.

 

14
 

 

Our off-deck business is dependent upon access to available traffic and billing aggregators that use mobile billing technologies to deliver and bill for our products and services. If we were to lose one or more of these relationships, or if there is a material change or limitation in the use of certain billing technologies, we would experience a significant reduction in the number of transactions initiated by end-users and thus material reduction in our revenues.

 

If we fail to deliver our products and services at the same time as new mobile handset models are commercially introduced, our sales may suffer.  

 

Our business is dependent, in part, on the commercial introduction of new handset models with enhanced features, including larger, higher resolution color screens, improved audio quality, and greater processing power, memory, battery life and storage. We do not control the timing of these handset launches. Some new handsets are sold by carriers with certain products or other applications pre-loaded, and many end users who download our products or use our services do so after they purchase their new handsets to experience the new features of those handsets. Some handset manufacturers give us access to their handsets prior to commercial release. If one or more major handset manufacturers were to cease to provide us access to new handset models prior to commercial release, we might be unable to introduce compatible versions of our products and services for those handsets in coordination with their commercial release, and we might not be able to make compatible versions for a substantial period following their commercial release. If, because of launch delays, we miss the opportunity to sell products and services when new handsets are shipped or our end users upgrade to a new handset, or if we miss the key holiday selling period, either because the introduction of a new handset is delayed or we do not deploy our products and services in time for the holiday selling season, our revenues would likely decline and our business, operating results and financial condition would likely suffer.

 

We may be unable to develop and introduce in a timely way new products or services, and our products and services may have defects, which could harm our brand.  

 

The planned timing and introduction of new products and services are subject to risks and uncertainties. Unexpected technical, operational, deployment, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of new products and services, which could result in a loss of, or delay in, revenues or damage to our reputation and brand. If any of our products or services is introduced with defects, errors or failures, we could experience decreased sales, loss of end users, damage to our carrier relationships and damage to our reputation and brand. Our attractiveness to branded content licensors might also be reduced. In addition, new products and services may not achieve sufficient market acceptance to offset the costs of development, particularly when the introduction of a product or service is substantially later than a planned “day-and-date” launch, which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

If we fail to maintain and enhance our capabilities for porting our offerings to a broad array of mobile handsets, our attractiveness to wireless carriers and branded content owners will be impaired, and our sales could suffer.

 

Once developed, a product or application may be required to be ported to, or converted into separate versions for, more than 1,000 different handset models, many with different technological requirements. These include handsets with various combinations of underlying technologies, user interfaces, keypad layouts, screen resolutions, sound capabilities and other carrier-specific customizations. If we fail to maintain or enhance our porting capabilities, our sales could suffer, branded content owners might choose not to grant us licenses and carriers might choose not to give our products and services desirable deck placement or not to give our products and services placement on their decks at all.

 

Changes to our design and development processes to address new features or functions of handsets or networks might cause inefficiencies in our porting process or might result in more labor-intensive porting processes. In addition, we anticipate that in the future we will be required to port existing and new products and applications to a broader array of handsets. If we utilize more labor intensive porting processes, our margins could be significantly reduced and it might take us longer to port our products and applications to an equivalent number of handsets. This, in turn, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

15
 

 

As a result of a majority of our revenues from on-deck distribution channels currently being derived from a limited number of wireless carriers, if any one of these carriers were unable to fulfill its payment obligations, our financial condition and results of operations would suffer.

 

If any of our primary carriers is unable to fulfill its payment obligations to us under our carrier agreements with them, our revenues attributable to on-deck distribution could decline significantly and our financial condition will be harmed.

 

Risks Related to Our Market

 

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do.  

 

The development, distribution and sale of mobile products and services is a highly competitive business. We compete for end users primarily on the basis of “on-deck” or “off-deck” positioning, brand, quality and price. We compete for wireless carriers for “on-deck” placement based on these factors, as well as historical performance, technical know-how, perception of sales potential and relationships with licensors of brands and other intellectual property. We compete for content and brand licensors based on royalty and other economic terms, perceptions of development quality, porting abilities, speed of execution, distribution breadth and relationships with carriers. We compete for platform deployment contracts amongst other mobile platform companies. We also compete for experienced and talented employees.

 

Our primary competitors for the on-deck distribution channels as well as the provisioning of platform services include Mondia Media, Motricity, net mobile AG, Jesta Digital, Buongiorno (acquired by NTT DOCOMO), Mobile Streams, and Gameloft, and for end-users via our direct-to-consumer off-deck services they include Zamano plc, Playphone, Inc, Jesta and Flycell Inc. In the future, likely competitors include major media companies, traditional video game publishers, platform developers, content aggregators, mobile software providers and independent mobile game publishers. Carriers may also decide to develop, internally or through a managed third-party developer, and distribute their own products and services. If carriers enter the wireless market as publishers, they might refuse to distribute some or all of our products and services or might deny us access to all or part of their networks. DT, whose principal customers would be carriers, would face competition from any carriers who decided to distribute their own products or services. In addition, while we are not aware of any non-carriers who are seeking to offer the equivalent scope of services as the DT platform, various of the competitors mentioned above (and new competitors entering the mobile platform space) currently offer or could in the future offer components of DT’s platform, and may seek to expand their offerings to compete with DT on a comprehensive basis, especially if DT’s model and approach meets with success.

 

Some of our competitors’ and our potential competitors’ advantages over us, either globally or in particular geographic markets, include the following:

 

·significantly greater revenues and financial resources;

 

·stronger brand and consumer recognition regionally or worldwide;

 

·the capacity to leverage their marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of mobile and non-mobile products;

 

·more substantial intellectual property of their own from which they can develop products and services without having to pay royalties;

 

·pre-existing relationships with brand owners or carriers that afford them access to intellectual property while blocking the access of competitors to that same intellectual property;

 

·greater resources to make acquisitions;

 

·lower labor and development costs; and

 

·broader global distribution and presence.

 

16
 

 

If we are unable to compete effectively or we are not as successful as our competitors in our target markets, our sales could decline, our margins could decline and we could lose market share, any of which would materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. If we are unable to compete effectively or we are not as successful as our competitors in our target markets, our sales could decline (or inhibit generation of sales, in DT's case), our margins could decline and we could lose market share (or in DT's case, fail to penetrate the market), any of which would materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

End user tastes are continually changing and are often unpredictable; if we fail to develop and publish new products and services that achieve market acceptance, our sales would suffer.  

 

Our business depends on developing and publishing new products and services that wireless carriers distribute and end users will buy. We must continue to invest significant resources in licensing efforts, research and development, marketing and regional expansion to enhance our offering of new products and services, and we must make decisions about these matters well in advance of product release in order to implement them in a timely manner. Our success depends, in part, on unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, including end-user preferences, competing products and services and the availability of other entertainment activities. If our products and services are not responsive to the requirements of our carriers or the entertainment preferences of end users, are not marketed effectively through our direct-to-consumer operations, or they are not brought to market in a timely and effective manner, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. Even if our products and services are successfully introduced, marketed effectively and initially adopted, a subsequent shift in our carriers, the entertainment preferences of end users, or our relationship with third-party billing aggregators could cause a decline in the popularity of, or access to, our offerings could materially reduce our revenues and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Wireless carriers generally control the price charged for our products and services and the billing and collection for sales and could make decisions detrimental to us.  

 

Wireless carriers generally control the price charged for our products and services either by approving or establishing the price of the offering charged to their subscribers. Some of our carrier agreements also restrict our ability to change prices. In cases where carrier approval is required, approvals may not be granted in a timely manner or at all. A failure or delay in obtaining these approvals, the prices established by the carriers for our offerings, or changes in these prices could adversely affect market acceptance of our offerings. Similarly, for the significant minority of our carriers, when we make changes to a pricing plan (the wholesale price and the corresponding suggested retail price based on our negotiated revenue-sharing arrangement), adjustments to the actual retail price charged to end users may not be made in a timely manner or at all (even though our wholesale price was reduced). A failure or delay by these carriers in adjusting the retail price for our offerings, could adversely affect sales volume and our revenues for those offerings.

 

Carriers and other distributors also control billings and collections for our products and services, either directly or through third-party service providers. If our carriers or their third-party service providers cause material inaccuracies when providing billing and collection services to us, our revenues may be less than anticipated or may be subject to refund at the discretion of the carrier. This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

 We currently rely on the current state of the law in certain territories where we operate our “off-deck” direct-to-consumer business and any adverse change in such laws may significantly adversely impact our revenues and thus our operating results and financial condition.

 

Decisions that regulators or governing bodies make with regard to the provision and marketing of mobile content and/or billing can have a significant impact on the revenues generated in that market. Although most of our markets are mature with regulation clearly defined and implemented, there remains the potential for regulatory changes that would have adverse consequences on the business and subsequently our revenue.

 

We rely on our current understanding of regional regulatory requirements pertaining to the marketing, advertising and promotion of our “off-deck” direct- to-consumer products and services and any adverse change in such regulations, or a finding that we did not properly understand such regulations, may significantly impact our ability to market, advertise and promote our products and services thereby adversely impact our revenues and thus our operating results and financial condition.

 

17
 

 

Our off-deck business relies extensively on marketing, advertising and promoting its products and services requiring it to have an understanding of the local laws and regulations governing its business.   In the event that we have relied on inaccurate information or advice, and engage in marketing, advertising or promotional activities that are not permitted, we may be subject to penalties, restricted from engaging in further activities or altogether prohibited from offering our products and services in a particular territory, all or any of which will adversely impact our revenues and thus our operating results and financial condition.

 

The strategic direction of the Digital Turbine business is not proven or certain.  

 

The business model that Digital Turbine is pursuing, white label storefront solutions, is not proven. There are many different types of models including, but not limited to, up-front fees, revenue shares, per device fees, and advertising. Initial feedback from customers shows preference for different types of models. This could lead to risk in predicting future revenues and profits by individual customers. In particular, the ‘free’ download market is reliant upon mobile advertising and the mobile advertising market is still in a nascent phase of monetization.

 

In addition, our strategy for Digital Turbine entails offering its platform to Twistbox customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully market new services and offerings to Twistbox customers. Moreover, in order to credibly offer DT’s platform, we will need to achieve additional operational and technical achievements to further develop the product. While we remain optimistic about our ability to complete this build out, it will be subject to all of the risks attendant to development efforts as well as the need to provide additional capital to the effort.

 

Risks Relating to Our Industry

 

Wireless communications technologies are changing rapidly, and we may not be successful in working with these new technologies.  

 

Wireless network and mobile handset technologies are undergoing rapid innovation. New handsets with more advanced processors and supporting advanced programming languages continue to be introduced. In addition, networks that enable enhanced features are being developed and deployed. We have no control over the demand for, or success of, these products or technologies. If we fail to anticipate and adapt to these and other technological changes, the available channels for our products and services may be limited and our market share and our operating results may suffer. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies and develop products and services to accommodate evolving industry standards with improved performance and reliability. In addition, the widespread adoption of networking or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our products and services.

 

Technology changes in the wireless industry require us to anticipate, sometimes years in advance, which technologies we must implement and take advantage of in order to make our products and services, and other mobile entertainment products, competitive in the market. Therefore, we usually start our product development with a range of technical development goals that we hope to be able to achieve. We may not be able to achieve these goals, or our competition may be able to achieve them more quickly and effectively than we can. In either case, our products and services may be technologically inferior to those of our competitors, less appealing to end users, or both. If we cannot achieve our technology goals within our original development schedule, then we may delay their release until these technology goals can be achieved, which may delay or reduce our revenues, increase our development expenses and harm our reputation. Alternatively, we may increase the resources employed in research and development in an attempt either to preserve our product launch schedule or to keep up with our competition, which would increase our development expenses. In either case, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed.

 

18
 

 

The complexity of and incompatibilities among mobile handsets may require us to use additional resources for the development of our products and services.  

 

To reach large numbers of wireless subscribers, mobile entertainment publishers and white label storefront providers like us must support numerous mobile handsets and technologies. However, keeping pace with the rapid innovation of handset technologies together with the continuous introduction of new, and often incompatible, handset models by wireless carriers requires us to make significant investments in research and development, including personnel, technologies and equipment. In the future, we may be required to make substantial investments in our development if the number of different types of handset models continues to proliferate. In addition, as more advanced handsets are introduced that enable more complex, feature rich products and services, we anticipate that our development costs will increase, which could increase the risks associated with one or more of our products or services and could materially harm our operating results and financial condition.

 

If wireless subscribers do not continue to use their mobile handsets to access mobile entertainment and other applications, our business growth and future revenues may be adversely affected.  

 

We operate in a developing industry. Our success depends on growth in the number of wireless subscribers who use their handsets to access data services and, in particular, entertainment applications of the type we develop and distribute. New or different mobile entertainment applications developed by our current or future competitors may be preferred by subscribers to our offerings. In addition, other mobile platforms may become widespread, and end users may choose to switch to these platforms. If the market for our products and services does not continue to grow or we are unable to acquire new end users, our business growth and future revenues could be adversely affected. If end users switch their entertainment spending away from the kinds of offerings that we publish, or switch to platforms or distribution where we do not have comparative strengths, our revenues would likely decline and our business, operating results and financial condition would suffer.

 

Our industry is subject to risks generally associated with the entertainment industry, any of which could significantly harm our operating results.

 

Our business is subject to risks that are generally associated with the entertainment industry, many of which are beyond our control. These risks could negatively impact our operating results and include: the popularity, price and timing of release of our offerings and mobile handsets on which they are accessed; economic conditions that adversely affect discretionary consumer spending; changes in consumer demographics; the availability and popularity of other forms of entertainment; and critical reviews and public tastes and preferences, which may change rapidly and cannot necessarily be predicted.

 

A shift of technology platform by wireless carriers and mobile handset manufacturers could lengthen the development period for our offerings, increase our costs and cause our offerings to be of lower quality or to be published later than anticipated.  

 

Mobile handsets require multimedia capabilities enabled by technologies capable of running applications such as ours. Our development resources are concentrated in today’s most popular platforms, and we have experience developing applications for these platforms. If one or more of these technologies fall out of favor with handset manufacturers and wireless carriers and there is a rapid shift to a new technology where we do not have development experience or resources, the development period for our products and services may be lengthened, increasing our costs, and the resulting products and services may be of lower quality, and may be published later than anticipated. In such an event, our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition might suffer.

 

System or network failures could reduce our sales, increase costs or result in a loss of end users of our products and services.

Mobile publishers rely on wireless carriers’ networks to deliver products and services to end users and on their or other third parties’ billing systems to track and account for the downloading of such offerings. In certain circumstances, mobile publishers may also rely on their own servers to deliver products on demand to end users through their carriers’ networks. In addition, certain products require access over the mobile Internet to our servers in order to enable certain features. Any failure of, or technical problem with, carriers’, third parties’ or our billing systems, delivery systems, information systems or communications networks could result in the inability of end users to download our products, prevent the completion of a billing transaction, or interfere with access to some aspects of our products. If any of these systems fail or if there is an interruption in the supply of power, an earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, or an act of war or terrorism, end users might be unable to access our offerings. For example, from time to time, our carriers have experienced failures with their billing and delivery systems and communication networks, including gateway failures that reduced the provisioning capacity of their branded e-commerce system. Any failure of, or technical problem with, the carriers’, other third parties’ or our systems could cause us to lose end users or revenues or incur substantial repair costs and distract management from operating our business. This, in turn, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our business depends on the growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure.  

 

Our success will depend on the continued growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure in the United States and internationally. This includes deployment and maintenance of reliable next-generation digital networks with the speed, data capacity and security necessary to provide reliable wireless communications services. Wireless communications infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it if the number of subscribers continues to increase, or if existing or future subscribers increase their bandwidth requirements. Wireless communications have experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of infrastructure and equipment failures, and could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of wireless communications usage as well as our ability to distribute our products and services successfully. In addition, changes by a wireless carrier to network infrastructure may interfere with downloads and may cause end users to lose functionality. This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Future mobile handsets may significantly reduce or eliminate wireless carriers’ control over delivery of our products and services and force us to rely further on alternative sales channels, which, if not successful, could require us to increase our sales and marketing expenses significantly.  

 

A growing number of handset models currently available allow wireless subscribers to browse the Internet and, in some cases, download applications from sources other than through a carrier’s on-deck portal. In addition, the development of other application delivery mechanisms such as premium-SMS may enable subscribers to download applications without having to access a carrier’s on-deck portal. Increased use by subscribers of open operating system handsets or premium-SMS delivery systems will enable them to bypass the carriers’ on-deck portal and could reduce the market power of carriers. This could force us to rely further on alternative sales channels and could require us to increase our sales and marketing expenses significantly. Relying on placement of our products and services in the menus of off-deck distributors may result in lower revenues than might otherwise be anticipated. We may be unable to develop and promote our direct website distribution sufficiently to overcome the limitations and disadvantages of off-deck distribution channels. This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition

  

Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in mobile handsets or wireless networks could adversely affect our revenues.  

 

Maintaining the security of mobile handsets and wireless networks is critical for our business. There are individuals and groups who develop and deploy viruses, worms and other illicit code or malicious software programs that may attack wireless networks and handsets. Security experts have identified computer “worm” programs that target handsets running on certain operating systems. Although these worms have not been widely released and do not present an immediate risk to our business, we believe future threats could lead some end users to seek to reduce or delay future purchases of our products or reduce or delay the use of their handsets. Wireless carriers and handset manufacturers may also increase their expenditures on protecting their wireless networks and mobile phone products from attack, which could delay adoption of new handset models. Any of these activities could adversely affect our revenues and this could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

20
 

 

Changes in government regulation of the media and wireless communications industries may adversely affect our business.  

 

It is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted in the United States and elsewhere that could restrict the media and wireless communications industries, including laws and regulations regarding customer privacy, taxation, content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust. Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies such as ours conducting business through wireless carriers. We anticipate that regulation of our industry will increase and that we will be required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation. Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding the media and wireless communications industries may lessen the growth of wireless communications services and may materially reduce our ability to increase or maintain sales of our products and services.

 

A number of studies have examined the health effects of mobile phone use, and the results of some of the studies have been interpreted as evidence that mobile phone use causes adverse health effects. The establishment of a link between the use of mobile phone services and health problems, or any media reports suggesting such a link, could increase government regulation of, and reduce demand for, mobile phones and, accordingly, the demand for our products and services, and this could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to Our Management, Employees and Potential Acquisitions

 

Our business and growth may suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, who are in high demand.  

 

We depend on the continued contributions of our domestic and international senior management and other key personnel. We have had 2 people fill the position of Chief Executive Officer in the last 2 years. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our business. Because not all of our executive officers and key employees are under employment agreements or are under agreement with short terms, their future employment with the Company is uncertain specifically our Chief Executive Officer’s and our Executive Chairman’s agreements each have short terms.

 

Our future success also depends on our ability to identify, attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, finance, marketing and creative personnel. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous technology, marketing and mobile entertainment companies. In addition, competition for qualified personnel is particularly intense in the Los Angeles area, where our headquarters are located. Further, we conduct principal overseas operations in Germany, an area that, similar to our headquarters region, has a high cost of living and consequently high compensation standards and/or intense demand for qualified individuals which may require us to incur significant costs to attract them. We may be unable to attract and retain suitably qualified individuals who are capable of meeting our growing creative, operational and managerial requirements, or may be required to pay increased compensation in order to do so. If we are unable to attract and retain the qualified personnel we need to succeed, our business would suffer.

 

Volatility or lack of performance in our stock price may also affect our ability to attract and retain our key employees. Some of our senior management personnel and other key employees have become, or will soon become, vested in a substantial amount of stock or stock options. Employees may be more likely to leave us if the shares they own or the shares underlying their options have significantly appreciated in value relative to the original purchase prices of the shares or the exercise prices of the options, or if the exercise prices of the options that they hold are significantly above the market price of our common stock. If we are unable to retain our employees, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

 

21
 

 

Growth may place significant demands on our management and our infrastructure.

 

We operate in an emerging market and have experienced, and may continue to experience, growth in our business through internal growth and acquisitions. This growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial infrastructure. Continued growth could strain our ability to:

 

·develop and improve our operational, financial and management controls;

 

·enhance our reporting systems and procedures;

 

·recruit, train and retain highly skilled personnel;

 

·maintain our quality standards; and

 

·maintain branded content owner, wireless carrier and end-user satisfaction.

 

Managing our growth will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization as it grows, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

 

The acquisition of other companies, businesses or technologies could result in operating difficulties, dilution and other harmful consequences.  

 

We have made acquisitions and, although we have no present understandings, commitments or agreements to do so (except as otherwise disclosed within this document), we may pursue further acquisitions, any of which could be material to our business, operating results and financial condition. Future acquisitions could divert management’s time and focus from operating our business, even in instances where acquisition negotiations are unsuccessful. In addition, integrating an acquired company, business or technology is risky and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. We may also raise additional capital for the acquisition of, or investment in, companies, technologies, products or assets that complement our business. Future acquisitions or dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, including our common stock, or the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses or acquired in-process research and development expenses, any of which could harm our financial condition and operating results. Future acquisitions may also require us to obtain additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

 

International acquisitions involve risks related to integration of operations across different cultures and languages, currency risks and the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries.

  

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our earnings based on this impairment assessment process, which could harm our operating results.

 

The acquisition of Logia Mobile might not be successful, or accretive to long-term shareholder value.  

 

While we believe that targeted acquisitions such as Logia Mobile will facilitate accelerated distribution for the DT user experience, there is no assurance that this will be the case or that we will be able to generate significant growth in revenues from Logia’s mobile customers or from other potential acquisitions. In particular, a significant portion of Logia Mobile’s revenue comes from one large mobile operator customer. and Logia Mobile is reliant upon that customer for a significant portion of its operating cash flow. In addition, there is no assurance that mobile operators will be successful and continue to want to compete with other mobile storefronts, and they may decide they simply want to provide network access to their customers. The solutions are complex with many different components and there is risk in the ability to integrate all of these various components into a single solution.

 

22
 

 

Changes to financial accounting standards could make it more expensive to issue stock options to employees, which would increase compensation costs and might cause us to change our business practices.  

 

We prepare our financial statements to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the “Commission”) and various other bodies. A change in those principles could have a significant effect on our reported results and might affect our reporting of transactions completed before a change is announced. For example, we have used restricted stock and stock options grants as a fundamental component of our employee compensation packages. We believe that such grants directly motivate our employees to maximize long-term stockholder value and, through the use of vesting, encourage employees to remain in our employ. Several regulatory agencies and entities have made regulatory changes that could make it more difficult or expensive for us to grant stock options or restricted stock to employees. We may, as a result of these changes, incur increased compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or find it difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to the Economy in the United States and Globally

 

The effects of the recent recession in the United States and general downturn in the global economy, including financial market disruptions, could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

Our operating results also may be affected by uncertain or changing economic conditions such as the challenges that are currently affecting economic conditions in the United States and the global economy. If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in the United States or other key markets, remain uncertain or persist, spread, or deteriorate further, we may experience material impacts on our business, operating results, and financial condition in a number of ways including negatively affecting our profitability and causing our stock price to decline.

 

We face added business, political, regulatory, operational, financial and economic risks as a result of our international operations and distribution, any of which could increase our costs and hinder our growth.  

 

We expect international sales to continue to be an important component of our revenues. Risks affecting our international operations include:

 

·challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences;

 

·multiple and conflicting laws and regulations, including complications due to unexpected changes in these laws and regulations;

 

·the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations;

 

·higher costs associated with doing business internationally;

 

·difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

 

23
 

 

·greater fluctuations in sales to end users and through carriers in developing countries, including longer payment cycles and greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable;

 

·protectionist laws and business practices that favor local businesses in some countries;

 

·foreign tax consequences;

 

·foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating income earned in countries outside the United States;

 

·price controls;

 

·the servicing of regions by many different carriers;

 

·imposition of public sector controls;

 

·political, economic and social instability, including relating to the current European sovereign debt crisis;

 

·restrictions on the export or import of technology;

 

·trade and tariff restrictions;

 

·variations in tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers; and

 

·difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights in countries other than the United States.

 

In addition, developing user interfaces that are compatible with other languages or cultures can be expensive. As a result, our ongoing international expansion efforts may be more costly than we expect. Further, expansion into developing countries subjects us to the effects of regional instability, civil unrest and hostilities, and could adversely affect us by disrupting communications and making travel more difficult. These risks could harm our international expansion efforts, which, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to Potential Liability, our Intellectual Property and our Content

 

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and improperly use our intellectual property and our competitive position may be adversely affected.  

 

Our intellectual property is an essential element of our business. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. To date, we have not obtained patent protection. Consequently, we may not be able to protect our technologies from independent invention by third parties. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise to obtain and use our technology and software. Monitoring unauthorized use of our technology and software is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent piracy and other unauthorized distribution and use of our technology and software, particularly internationally where the laws may not protect our intellectual property rights as fully as in the United States. In the future, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management and resources.

 

24
 

 

In addition, although we require third parties to sign agreements not to disclose or improperly use our intellectual property, it may still be possible for third parties to obtain and improperly use our intellectual properties without our consent. This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Third parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement, which, if successful, may disrupt our business and could require us to pay significant damage awards.  

 

Third parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement or initiate proceedings to invalidate our intellectual property, either of which, if successful, could disrupt the conduct of our business, cause us to pay significant damage awards or require us to pay licensing fees. In the event of a successful claim against us, we might be enjoined from using our licensed intellectual property, we might incur significant licensing fees and we might be forced to develop alternative technologies. Our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or software or to license the infringed or similar technology or software on a timely basis could force us to withdraw products and services from the market or prevent us from introducing new products and services. In addition, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar technology or software, license fees could be substantial and the terms of these licenses could be burdensome, which might adversely affect our operating results. We might also incur substantial expenses in defending against third-party infringement claims, regardless of their merit. Successful infringement or licensing claims against us might result in substantial monetary liabilities and might materially disrupt the conduct of our business.

 

Litigation may harm our business.

 

Substantial, complex or extended litigation could cause us to incur significant costs and distract our management. For example, lawsuits by employees, stockholders, collaborators, distributors, customers, competitors or others could be very costly and substantially disrupt our business. Disputes from time to time with such companies, organizations or individuals are not uncommon, and we cannot assure you that we will always be able to resolve such disputes or on terms favorable to us. Unexpected results could cause us to have financial exposure in these matters in excess of recorded reserves and insurance coverage, requiring us to provide additional reserves to address these liabilities, therefore impacting profits. 

 

Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement, damages caused by malicious software and other losses.  

 

In the ordinary course of our business, most of our agreements with carriers and other distributors include indemnification provisions. In these provisions, we agree to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred in connection with our products and services, including as a result of intellectual property infringement and damages caused by viruses, worms and other malicious software. The term of these indemnity provisions is generally perpetual after execution of the corresponding license agreement, and the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is generally unlimited. Large future indemnity payments could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We face risks associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations.  

 

We currently transact a significant portion of our revenues in foreign currencies. Conducting business in currencies other than U.S. Dollars subjects us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could have a negative impact on our reported operating results. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies impact our revenues, cost of revenues and operating margins and result in foreign currency transaction gains and losses. To date, we have not engaged in exchange rate-hedging activities. Even if we were to implement hedging strategies to mitigate this risk, these strategies might not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and would involve costs and risks of their own, such as ongoing management time and expertise, external costs to implement the strategies and potential accounting implications.

 

25
 

 

Our business in countries with a history of corruption and transactions with foreign governments, including with government owned or controlled wireless carriers, increase the risks associated with our international activities.

 

As we operate and sell internationally, we are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by the United States and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, deal with carriers and make sales in countries known to experience corruption, particularly certain emerging countries in Eastern Europe and Latin America, and further international expansion may involve more of these countries. Our activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors that could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. We have attempted to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees, consultants, sales agents and distributors. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We may be liable for the content we make available through our products and services with mature themes.

 

Because some of our products and services contain content with mature themes, we may be subject to obscenity or other legal claims by third parties. Our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed if we were found liable for this content. Implementing measures to reduce our exposure to this liability may require us to take steps that would substantially limit the attractiveness of our products and services and/or its availability in various geographic areas, which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue. Furthermore, our insurance may not adequately protect us against all of these types of claims. Additionally, we could continue to be exposed to these claims and potential liability even if and after we decide to sell such assets.

 

Government regulation of our content with mature themes could restrict our ability to make some of our content available in certain jurisdictions.

 

Our business is regulated by governmental authorities in the countries in which we operate. Because of our international operations, we must comply with diverse and evolving regulations. The governments of some countries have sought to limit the influence of other cultures by restricting the distribution of products deemed to represent foreign or “immoral” influences. Regulation aimed at limiting minors’ access to content with mature themes could also increase our cost of operations and introduce technological challenges, such as by requiring development and implementation of age verification systems. As a result, government regulation of our adult content could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Government regulation of our marketing methods could restrict our ability to adequately advertise and promote our content and services available in certain jurisdictions.

 

 Our business is regulated by governmental authorities in the countries in which we operate. Because of our international operations, we must comply with diverse and evolving regulations. The governments of some countries have sought to regulate the methods and manner in which certain of our products and services may be marketed to potential end-users.   Regulation aimed at prohibiting, limiting or restricting various forms of advertising and promotion we use to market our products and services could also increase our cost of operations or preclude the ability to offer our products and services altogether. As a result, government regulation of our marketing efforts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

26
 

 

Negative publicity, lawsuits or boycotts by opponents of content with mature themes could adversely affect our operating performance and discourage investors from investing in our publicly traded securities.

 

We could become a target of negative publicity, lawsuits or boycotts by one or more advocacy groups who oppose the distribution of adult-oriented entertainment. These groups have mounted negative publicity campaigns, filed lawsuits and encouraged boycotts against companies whose businesses involve adult-oriented entertainment. To the extent our content with mature themes is viewed as adult-oriented entertainment, the costs of defending against any such negative publicity, lawsuits or boycotts could be significant, could hurt our finances and could discourage investors from investing in our publicly traded securities. To date, we have not been a target of any of these advocacy groups. As a provider of content with mature themes, we cannot assure you that we may not become a target in the future.

 

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

 

There is a limited trading market for our common stock.

 

Although prices for our shares of common stock are quoted as of the date of this filing on the OTC QB tier of the OTC Markets (under the symbol MNDL), there is no established public trading market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that a public trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. We were removed from the OTC Bulletin Board in April 2012 due to having three untimely filings with the SEC in a two-year period.

 

There is no assurance that we will regain OTC bulletin board quotation or a listing on any national securities exchange, whose requirements would require a reverse split of our stock, compliance with other quantitative and qualitative requirements and a subjective evaluation by the staffs of any such national securities exchange. Even if we attain a listing on a national securities exchange there is no guarantee we will maintain it.

 

The liquidity of our common stock will be affected by its limited trading market.

 

Bid and ask prices for shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC QB tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol MNDL. There is currently no broadly followed, established trading market for our common stock. While we are hopeful that we will command the interest of a greater number of investors, an established trading market for our shares of common stock may never develop or be maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. The absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of our common stock. As a result of the lack of trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the OTC QB tier of the OTC Markets is not necessarily a reliable indicator of its fair market value. Further, if we cease to be quoted, holders of our common stock would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock, and the market value of our common stock to a lower tier would likely decline. In addition, the tier of the OTC Markets on which we are traded could change. Any change could make it harder for holders of our common stock or potential investors to access our information and find quotes for our stock.

 

If and when a trading market for our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the current price.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including announcements of new products or services by our competitors. In addition, the market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including:

  

·quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;

 

27
 

 

·developments in the financial markets, and the worldwide or regional economies;

 

·announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

 

·fluctuations in merchant credit card interest rates;

 

·significant sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market; and

 

·changes in accounting principles.

 

In the past, stockholders have often instituted securities class action litigation after periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. If a stockholder were to file any such class action suit against us, we would incur substantial legal fees and our management’s attention and resources would be diverted from operating our business to respond to the litigation, which could harm our business.

 

The sale of securities by us in any equity or debt financing, or the issuance of new shares related to an acquisition, could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

 

Any sale or issuance of common stock by us in a future offering or acquisition could result in dilution to the existing stockholders as a direct result of our issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. In addition, our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth by acquiring complementary businesses, acquiring or licensing additional brands, or establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and suppliers. In order to do so, or to finance the cost of our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our stockholders’ stock ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets if we acquire another company, and this could negatively impact our earnings and results of operations.

 

We may need to raise additional capital to grow our business, and we may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.  

 

The operation of our business and our efforts to grow our business will further require significant cash outlays and commitments. If our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances and any cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements, we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through debt or equity financings, to fund our growth. We may not be able to raise needed cash on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financings, if available, may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the fair market value of our common stock. The holders of new securities may also receive rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If new sources of financing are required but are insufficient or unavailable, we would be required to modify our growth and operating plans to the extent of available funding, which would harm our ability to grow our business.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business or us. If any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, our common stock price would likely decline. If analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our common stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

28
 

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends.  

 

We have never paid cash or other dividends on our common stock. Payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, our capital requirements and financial condition, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. However, the earliest our Board of Directors would likely consider a dividend is if we begin to generate excess cash flow.

 

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders can exert significant influence over us and may make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.

 

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively beneficially own approximately 56% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, this group will be able to affect the outcome of, or exert significant influence over, all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and, accordingly, this group could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we might not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud; in that case, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could negatively impact the price of our stock.   

  

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. In addition, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires us to evaluate and report on our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of strengthening and testing our system of internal controls. The process of implementing our internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming and requires significant attention of management. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Even if we conclude that our internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect fraud or misstatements. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we discover a material weakness or a significant deficiency in our internal control, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market’s confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition, if we fail to comply with the applicable portions of Section 404, we could be subject to a variety of administrative sanctions, including ineligibility for short form resale registration, action by the SEC, and the inability of registered broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which could further reduce our stock price and harm our business.

 

Maintaining and improving our financial controls and the requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified members for our Board of Directors.  

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these rules and regulations has resulted in an increase in our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, may make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and may place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

29
 

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. This can be difficult to do. For example, we depend on the reports of wireless carriers for information regarding the amount of sales of our products and services and to determine the amount of royalties we owe branded content licensors and the amount of our revenues. These reports may not be timely, and in the past they have contained, and in the future they may contain, errors.

 

In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we expend significant resources and provide significant management oversight. We have a substantial effort ahead of us to implement appropriate processes, document our system of internal control over relevant processes, assess their design, remediate any deficiencies identified and test their operation. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. These efforts will also involve substantial accounting-related costs.

 

 The Sarbanes-Oxley Act makes it more difficult and more expensive for us to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be required in the future to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to maintain coverage. If we are unable to maintain adequate directors’ and officers’ insurance, our ability to recruit and retain qualified directors, and officers will be significantly curtailed.

 

The ownership interest of our current stockholders will be substantially diluted if our outstanding securities convertible and/or exercisable into shares of our common stock are converted and/or exercised.

 

As of June 15, 2012, we had an aggregate of approximately $3,680,000 of Convertible Notes convertible into 18,352,381 shares of our common stock, and warrants to purchase 18,312,987 shares of our common stock. To the extent our outstanding securities convertible and/or exercisable into shares of our common stock are converted and/or exercised, additional shares of our common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our stockholders and increase the number of shares of common stock eligible for resale into the public market. Sales of such shares of common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Shares eligible for future sale

 

As of June 15, 2012, 51,196,077 of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly. Shares of restricted common stock are generally available for resale following a six month holding period. As restrictions on resale end, the market price could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

 

ITEM 2.PROPERTIES

 

The principal offices of Mandalay and those of DT are located at 4751 Wilshire Boulevard, Third Floor, Los Angeles, California 90010.

 

The principal offices of our subsidiary Twistbox are headquartered at 14242 Ventura Boulevard, 3rd Floor, Sherman Oaks, California 91423. On July 1, 2005, The WAAT Corp. (Twistbox’s predecessor-in-interest) entered into a lease for these premises with Berkshire Holdings, LLC at a base rent of $21,000 per month. In July 2010, the lease expired and the Company entered a month-to-month lease for a reduced amount of space for $9,000 per month. Twistbox also leases property in Germany and Poland, where it has branch operations.

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  

Twistbox’s wholly owned subsidiary, WAAT Media Corp. (“WAAT”) and General Media Communications, Inc. (“GMCI”) were parties to a content license agreement dated May 30, 2006, whereby GMCI granted to WAAT certain exclusive rights to exploit GMCI branded content via mobile devices. GMCI terminated the agreement on January 26, 2009 based on its claim that WAAT failed to cure a material breach pertaining to the non-payment of a minimum royalty guarantee installment in the amount of $485,000. On or about March 16, 2009, GMCI filed a complaint seeking the balance of the minimum guarantee payments due under the agreement in the approximate amount of $4,085,000. WAAT counter-sued claiming GMCI was not entitled to the claimed amount and that it had breached the agreement, by fraudulently inducing WAAT to enter into the agreement based on GMCI’s repeated assurances of its intention to reinvigorate its flagship brand. GMCI filed a demurrer to the counter-claim. WAAT subsequently filed an amended counter-claim. On August 16, 2011, the LA Superior Court ruled in favor of WAAT’s Summary Judgment Motion. As a result, GMCI’s potential damages were limited to the amount of minimum royalty installments that accrued prior to the termination of the content license agreement in the amount of approximately $800,000. Trial had been scheduled for April 16, 2012. However, on December 22, 2011, the parties agreed to a settlement, pursuant to which WAAT will be required to pay GMCI $300,000 over a 30 month period, beginning December 28, 2011. The action will be dismissed with prejudice upon written notice to the court to be provided by GMCI within five business days of GMCI’s receipt of the final installment payment.

 

On March 6, 2012, the Company received a notice of levy in the amount of $72,596 pertaining to a dispute with a service provider. The Company has recorded the full amount in Accounts Payable on the balance sheet.

 

On May 4, 2012, the Company received notice of a judgment in the amount of $36,201 pertaining to a dispute with a previous employee. The Company has recorded the full amount in Other Current Liabilities on the balance sheet.

Adoption of Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.

 

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

 

32
 

 

Principal Reasons for Adoption of the Plan

 

Our board of directors believes the Plan is necessary to give us the ability to (i) attract and retain qualified key employees, non-employee directors and consultants with appropriate equity-based awards, (ii) motivate high levels of performance, (iii) recognize employee contributions to our success, and (iv) align the interests of plan participants with those of our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors believes a meaningful equity compensation program is necessary to provide us with flexibility in negotiating strategic acquisitions and other business relationships to further expand and grow our business.

 

Without the ability to grant equity-based awards for these purposes, we may not remain competitive for qualified executives and employees, non-employee directors and consultants, particularly against similar companies vying for a limited talent pool. The Plan contains a number of provisions that the board believes are consistent with the interests of stockholders and sound corporate governance practices. These include:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Implementation and Effect of the Plan

 

Summary Description of the Plan

 

The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and restricted stock units (sometimes referred to individually or collectively as “Awards”) to our and our subsidiaries’ officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Stock options may be either “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”), as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”). The Plan reserves 4,000,000 shares for issuance, of which 191,667 remain available for issuance as of May 23, 2012. The 4,000,000 shares reserved for issuance will serve as the underlying value for all equity awards under the Plan.

 

Plan Administration; Amendment and Termination

 

Our board of directors and/or one or more of its committees (“Administrator”) administer the Plan in accordance with applicable law. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate any portion of the Plan for any reason, but must obtain stockholder consent for any material plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations, and the consent of affected plan participants if any such action alters or impairs any obligations regarding Awards that have been granted to such participants. The Plan terminates in 2021. However, such termination will not affect Awards granted under the Plan prior to termination.

 

33
 

 

Reversion of Shares to the Plan

 

When Awards made under the Plan expire or are forfeited, the underlying shares will become available for future Awards under the Plan. In addition, any shares that are not issued upon the exercise of an Award shall also become available for future Awards under the Plan. Shares awarded and delivered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired shares.

 

Eligibility for Awards

 

The employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and “affiliates” (as defined in the Plan) may be granted Awards under the Plan. The Administrator determines which individuals will receive Awards, as well as the number and composition of each Award. Awards under the Plan may consist of a single type or any combination of the types of Awards permissible under the Plan as determined by the Administrator (or by the full board in the case of Awards to non-employee directors). These decisions may be based on various factors, including a participant’s duties and responsibilities, the value of the participant’s past services, his/her potential contributions to our success, and other factors.

 

Exercise Price Limitations

 

The Administrator will determine the exercise price for the shares underlying each Award on the date the Award is granted. The exercise price for shares under an ISO may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date the Award is granted. Similarly, under the terms of the Plan, the exercise price for SARs and NQSOs may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. There is no minimum exercise price prescribed for restricted stock and restricted stock units awarded under the Plan.

 

Individual Grant Limits

 

No participant may be granted in aggregate, in any calendar year, Awards covering more than 500,000 shares. Such limitation is subject to proportional adjustment in connection with any change in our capitalization as described in the Plan.

 

Award Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price

 

The Administrator will determine when Awards become exercisable. However, no Award may have a term longer than 10 years from the date of grant unless otherwise approved by our stockholders, and no Award may be exercised after expiration of its term. Payment for any shares issued upon exercise of an Award shall be specified in each participant’s award agreement, and may be made by cash, check or other means specified in the Plan.

 

Tax Withholding

 

We will have the right to deduct or withhold or require a participant to remit to us an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and any applicable foreign taxes (including FICA obligations, if applicable) required to be withheld with respect to the grant, exercise or vesting of any Award.

 

Effect of Termination, Death, or Disability

 

If a participant’s employment or consulting arrangement terminates for any reason, vesting will stop as of the effective termination date, and all unvested awards as of such date shall immediately terminate. Participants generally have three months from their termination date to exercise vested unexercised options and SARs before they expire. Longer post-termination exercise periods apply in the event the termination of employment or cessation of service results from death or disability. If a participant is dismissed for cause, the right to exercise shall generally terminate five business days following written notice from us.

 

34
 

 

Non-Transferability of Awards

 

Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Awards granted under the Plan are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised by the participant only during the participant’s lifetime.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights

 

Under the Plan, SARs may be settled in shares or cash and must be granted with an exercise price of not less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise of a SAR, a participant is entitled to receive cash or a number of shares equivalent in value to the difference between the fair market value on the exercise date and the exercise price of the SAR. For example, assume a participant is granted 100 SARs with an exercise price of $10 and assume the SARs are later exercised when the fair market value of the underlying shares is $20 per share. At exercise, the Participant is entitled to receive 50 shares [(($20-$10) x 100) / $20], or $1,000 in cash (50 x $20).

 

Restricted Stock

 

The Plan also permits us to grant restricted stock. The Administrator has discretion to establish periods of restriction during which shares awarded remain subject to forfeiture or our right to repurchase if the participant’s employment terminates for any reason (including death or disability). Restrictions may be based on the passage of time, the achievement of specific performance objectives, or other measures as determined by the Administrator in its discretion. During periods of restriction, a participant has the right to vote his/her restricted stock and to receive distributions and dividends, if any, but may not sell or transfer any such shares.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

The Plan also permits us to grant restricted stock units that are payable in our shares or in cash. Each restricted stock unit is equivalent in value to one share of our common stock. Depending on the number of restricted stock units that become vested at the end of the performance period, the equivalent number of shares are payable to the participant, or the equivalent value in cash. The restricted stock units may be vested upon the attainment of performance goals of based on continued service.

 

Changes in Capitalization; Change of Control

 

The Plan provides for exercise price and quantity adjustments if we declare a stock dividend or stock split. Also, vesting or restriction periods may be accelerated if we merge with another entity that does not either assume the outstanding Awards or substitute equivalent Awards.

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

Option Grants

 

Options granted under the Plan may be either ISOs, which are intended to satisfy the requirements of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), or NQSOs, which are not intended to meet those requirements. The Federal income tax treatment for NQSOs and ISOs are summarized below.

 

Non-Qualified Stock Options

 

No taxable income is recognized by a participant upon the grant of an NQSO. Generally, the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised. The amount of ordinary income will equal the difference between the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date compared to the exercise price paid to acquire such shares. We and the participant are required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to that income, unless the participant is a non-employee Director or consultant, in which case tax withholding is not required. We will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant with respect to exercised NQSOs.

 

35
 

 

Incentive Stock Options

 

No taxable income is recognized by a participant upon the grant of an ISO. Generally, the participant will not recognize ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised, although the participant’s gain from exercise may be subject to alternative minimum tax. If the participant sells the underlying shares acquired from the option within two years after the option grant date or within one year of the option exercise date, gain on that premature, “disqualifying” disposition will be treated as compensatory ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of: (1) the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise minus the exercise price paid to acquire such shares, or (2) the amount realized on the disposition minus the exercise price. We will be entitled to an income tax deduction that equals the amount of the participant’s compensatory ordinary income. If the participant does not make a disqualifying disposition, then we will not be entitled to a tax deduction. If the participant sells the underlying shares in a “qualifying” disposition (i.e., two years after the option is granted and one year after the exercise date), the disposition will be treated as either long-term capital gain or loss based on the difference between the sales proceeds and the exercise price paid to acquire the shares.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights

 

No taxable income is recognized by a participant upon the grant of a SAR. The participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the SAR is exercised. The amount of ordinary income will be the fair market value of the shares received or the cash payment. We and the participant are required to satisfy the applicable tax withholding requirements, unless the participant is a non-employee Director, where in such case tax withholding is not required. We will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant with respect to exercised SARs.

 

Restricted Stock

 

The tax principles applicable to the issuance of restricted shares under the Plan will be substantially the same as those summarized above for the exercise of non-qualified stock options in that they are both governed by Section 83 of the IRC Code. Generally, when the restriction lapses, the participant will have ordinary income equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date and any amount paid for the shares, if any. Alternatively, at the time of the grant, the participant may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to include as ordinary income in the year of the grant, an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the granted shares on the grant date and any amount paid for the shares. If the IRC Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will not recognize any additional compensation income when the restriction lapses, but may have capital gain income or loss upon sale of the shares. We will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant in the year in which the participant recognizes such income.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

Generally, a plan participant who is granted restricted stock units will recognize ordinary income in the year payment occurs. The income recognized will generally be equal to the fair market value of the shares received or to the cash payment. We will generally be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the income recognized by the participant on the payment date for the taxable year in which the ordinary income is recognized by the participant.

 

36
 

 

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

 

We intend that any compensation deemed paid by us in connection with the exercise of ISOs, NQSOs and SARs granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the shares on grant date will qualify as performance-based compensation not subject to Code Section 162(m) $1,000,000 limitation per covered individual on the deductibility of compensation paid to certain of our executive officers. A number of requirements must be met in order for particular compensation to so qualify, so there can be no assurance that such compensation under the Plan will be fully deductible in all circumstances.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The following is a summary of transactions by us during the three months ended March 31, 2012, involving sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act. Each sale was exempt from registration under either Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act because (i) the securities were offered and sold only to accredited investors; (ii) there was no general solicitation or general advertising related to the offerings; (iii) each investor was given the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms of and conditions of the offering and to obtain additional information; (iv) the investors represented that they were acquiring the securities for their own account and for investment; and (v) the securities were issued with restrictive legends where required.

 

·In March 2012, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.70 cents per share with a term of 5 years. The warrants were issued as consideration related to the modification of an existing note to convertible debt and treated as debt modification expense of $1,459 as of March 31, 2012. In connection with the same transaction, the Company issued 1,071,429 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.70 cents per share. Also in connection with the same transaction, the Company issued 2,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company as payment of $1,820 of principle of a convertible note. We relied on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as providing an exemption from registering the issuance of these shares of common stock under the Securities Act inasmuch as the conversion was made with our existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting the exchange.

 

37
 

 

·In March 2012, the Company sold 3,857,143 shares of common stock of the Company to investors for $0.70 cents per share. In connection with this sale of common stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 964,286 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.70 cents per share with a term of 5 years. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as providing an exemption from registering the sale of these shares of common stock under the Securities Act.

 

·In March 2012, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company to a vendor. The shares vest over one year and were valued at the closing market price on that date of $0.90 cents per share. The overall value was determined to be $135, of which $2 was recorded through the period ended March 31, 2012. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as providing an exemption from registering the sale of these shares of common stock under the Securities Act.

 

·In March 2012, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company to a vendor. The shares are vested, but restricted for a one year period. The shares were valued at the closing market price on that date of $0.85 cents per share. The overall value was determined to be $42, of which $42 was recorded in the period ended March 31, 2012. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as providing an exemption from registering the issuance of these shares of common stock under the Securities Act.

 

·In January 2012, the Company issued 1,375,000 shares of common stock of the Company to three employees. The shares are partially vested, but are restricted for a two year period. The shares were valued at the closing market price on that date of $0.65 cents per share. The overall value was determined to be $894, and $569 of expense was recorded through the period ended March 31, 2012. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as providing an exemption from registering the sale of these shares of common stock under the Securities Act.

 

·In January 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement, pursuant to which, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares vest over one year and were valued at the closing market price on that date of $0.65 cents per share. The overall value was determined to be $98, and $59 of expense was recorded through the period ended March 31, 2012. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as providing an exemption from registering the sale of these shares of common stock under the Securities Act.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in this report. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to our management or us, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors including those set forth under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 and elsewhere in this filing. Historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of the trends in operating results for any future period.

 

Unless the context otherwise indicates, the use of the terms “we,” “our” “us” or the “Company” refer to the business and operations of Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. (“Mandalay Digital”) and its operating and wholly-owned subsidiary, Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”).

SUMMARY OF THE TWISTBOX MERGER

 

The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on December 31, 2007, as subsequently amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 12, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Twistbox Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”), and Adi McAbian and Spark Capital, L.P., as representatives of the stockholders of Twistbox, pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into Twistbox, with Twistbox as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The Merger was completed on February 12, 2008.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of Twistbox common stock, $0.001 par value per share, on a fully-converted basis, with the conversion on a one-for-one basis of all issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Twistbox and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Twistbox, $0.01 par value per share (the “Twistbox Preferred Stock”), converted automatically into and became exchangeable for Company common stock in accordance with certain exchange ratios set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, by virtue of the Merger, each outstanding Twistbox option to purchase Twistbox common stock issued pursuant to the Twistbox 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was assumed by the Company, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Plan immediately prior to the Merger, except that (a) the number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon exercise of each Twistbox option was determined by multiplying the number of shares of Twistbox common stock that were subject to such Twistbox option immediately prior to the Merger by 0.72967 (the “Option Conversion Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number; and (b) the per share exercise price for the shares of Mandalay Digital common stock issuable upon exercise of each Twistbox option was determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Twistbox common stock subject to such Twistbox option, as in effect prior to the Merger, by the Option Conversion Ratio, subject to any adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Code. As part of the Merger, the Company also assumed all unvested Twistbox options. The Merger consideration consisted of an aggregate of up to 12,325,000 shares of Company common stock, which included the conversion of all shares of Twistbox capital stock and the reservation of 2,144,700 shares of Company common stock required for assumption of the vested Twistbox options. The Company reserved an additional 318,772 shares of Company common stock required for the assumption of the unvested Twistbox options. All warrants to purchase shares of Twistbox common stock outstanding at the time of the Merger were terminated on or before the effective time of the Merger.

 

Upon the completion of the Merger, all shares of the Twistbox capital stock were no longer outstanding and were automatically canceled and ceased to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares ceased to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable merger consideration. Additionally, each share of the Twistbox capital stock held by Twistbox or owned by Merger Sub, the Company or any subsidiary of Twistbox or the Company immediately prior to the Merger, was canceled and extinguished as of the completion of the Merger without any conversion or payment in respect thereof. Each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted upon completion of the Merger into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the surviving corporation.

As part of the Merger, the Company agreed to guarantee up to $8,250,000 of Twistbox’s outstanding debt to ValueAct SmallCap Master Fund L.P. (“ValueAct” or “VAC”), with certain amendments. On July 30, 2007, Twistbox had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among Twistbox, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined therein) and ValueAct, pursuant to which ValueAct purchased a note in the amount of $16,500,000 (the “ValueAct Note” or the “VAC Note”) and a warrant which entitled ValueAct to purchase from Twistbox up to a total of 2,401,747 shares of Twistbox’s common stock (the “Warrant”). Twistbox and ValueAct also entered into a Guarantee and Security Agreement by and among Twistbox, each of the subsidiaries of Twistbox, the Investors, as defined therein, and ValueAct, as collateral agent, pursuant to which the parties agreed that the ValueAct Note would be secured by substantially all of the assets of Twistbox and its subsidiaries (the “VAC Note Security Agreement”). In connection with the Merger, the Warrant was terminated and we issued two warrants in place thereof to ValueAct to purchase shares of our common stock. One of such warrants entitled ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,622 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.55 per share. The other warrant entitled ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,621 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $5.00 per share, which, if not exercised in full by February 12, 2009, would have been permanently increased to an exercise price of $7.55 per share. Both warrants were scheduled to expire on July 30, 2011. The warrants were subsequently modified on October 23, 2008 and cancelled on June 21, 2010, as set forth below. We also entered into a Guaranty (the “ValueAct Note Guaranty”) with ValueAct whereby the Company agreed to guarantee Twistbox’s payment to ValueAct of up to $8,250,000 of principal under the ValueAct Note in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in the ValueAct Note, which was subsequently amended as set forth below. The financial covenants of the ValueAct Note were also amended, pursuant to which Twistbox was required to maintain a cash balance of not less than $2,500,000 at all times and the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of not less than $4,000,000 at all times. The ValueAct Note was subsequently amended and restated as set forth below.

 

SUMMARY OF THE AMV ACQUISITION

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Company Overview

 

From February 12, 2008 to October 23, 2008, our sole operations were those of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Twistbox. In October 2008, we acquired AMV Holding Limited and its subsidiaries, a mobile media and marketing company. On June 21, 2010, we sold AMV Holding Limited and its subsidiaries.

 

Twistbox is a global, mobile data services company primarily focused on enabling and optimizing the development, distribution and billing of content and applications across mobile networks. Operating since 2003, Twistbox publishes content in over 28 countries with distribution representing more than five hundred million subscribers. Twistbox has developed an intellectual property portfolio that includes worldwide or territory exclusive mobile rights to content, a proprietary publishing platform that includes tools to automate device management and billing of content and applications; a mobile games development and distribution platform that automates the porting of mobile games and applications to over 1,500 handset models; a content ratings system adopted by certain major wireless carriers to assist with the responsible deployment of age-verified programming and services; a suite of value added billing technologies that allow for in-application billing, and Digital Rights Management (DRM) solutions. Twistbox has leveraged its intellectual property and carrier-class technology to secure direct distribution and/or enabling agreements with leading mobile operators throughout Europe, North America and Latin America, including, among others, Vodafone, Telefonica, Orange, and SFR.

 

Twistbox maintains a global distribution agreement with Vodafone. Through this relationship, in certain markets Twistbox serves as one of Vodafone’s exclusive category portal managers. Twistbox has similar exclusive agreements with other operators in selected territories.

 

In addition to its carrier publishing and enabling business, Twistbox operates a mobile ad network and suite of direct to consumer services that are promoted through advertising, as well as from other mobile publishers. Payments for the Company’s direct to consumer services are processed through integration with the Company’s own mobile billing solutions, third party mobile billing aggregators, and credit card processing companies.

 

43
 

 

Twistbox’s target customers are the lucrative, tech-savvy 18 to 40 year old demographic. This group is a leading consumer group of new mobile handsets and represents more than 50% of mobile content consumption revenue globally. In addition, this group is very focused on consumer lifestyle brands and is much sought after by advertisers.

 

In December 2011, the Company purchased the assets of Digital Turbine. With the acquisition and integration of the assets of Digital Turbine, the Company will be able to provide an end-to-end, modular platform to the Company’s existing carrier customers. The combined DT offering allows new and existing customers to choose from a fully outsourced, smart mobile ecosystem to more efficient, modular components that can be integrated with different operating systems to provide to the end user a more unified experience of mobile content across search, discovery, billing, and delivery. Innovative aspects of the Digital Turbine platform include the ability for carriers and OEMs to analyze and control the data presented to their end-users while giving them a more efficient way of finding and purchasing content.

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

 

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

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

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

 

Sales and marketing expenses represent the costs of sales and marketing personnel, and advertising and marketing campaigns. Selling costs, including our headcount have been reduced from period to period in an effort to streamline the business. The decrease year-over-year is the result of cost savings made by headcount reductions, as well as reduced travel and entertainment expenses, offset by relocation costs relative to our UK operations from late fiscal year 2010 through most of fiscal year 2011.

 

General and administrative expenses represent management and support personnel costs in each of the subsidiary companies and related expenses, as well as professional and consulting costs, and other costs such as stock based compensation, rent, depreciation and bad debt expenses. The increase during fiscal year 2012 is mostly due to an increase in stock compensation to management. Significant savings were made during fiscal year 2011 mostly due to a decrease in stock compensation to management, but also through headcount reductions and related overheads, as well as lower bad debt expense and legal fees.

 

Amortization of intangibles represents amortization of the intangibles identified as part of the purchase price accounting related to both acquisitions and attributed to operating expenses.

 

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets represents the write down in value of goodwill and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Twistbox. The consideration in the Twistbox acquisition was entirely stock-based, and generated significant goodwill since Twistbox was not a capital intensive company. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company experienced a significant and continued decline in the market value of its common stock, which resulted in the Company’s market capitalization falling below its net book value. The Company recorded an impairment charge in the value of goodwill and intangible assets in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 and the last quarter of fiscal year 2012. At December 31, 2010 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,546,000 to write down goodwill and $4,482,000 to write down intangible assets. At March 31, 2012, due to a decline in revenues, the Company performed an impairment review for goodwill and intangible assets. As a result of the assessment, the Company determined that its net book value exceeded the implied fair value; therefore, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $2,969,000 to write down goodwill and $2,319,000 to write down intangibles assets. The intangible assets impaired were the valuation associated with the Twistbox trademark/trade name.

Interest and other income/(expense) includes interest income on invested funds, interest expense related to the Senior Secured Note, the ValueAct Note, the Taja Note, the Adage Note, financing costs including loan modification costs, changes in the fair market value of derivatives, foreign exchange transaction gains, and other income/expense. The increase in net expense compared to the prior period is comprised mostly of financing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, and change in fair value of derivative liabilities offset by settlement of debt with a provider.

 

Financial Condition

 

Assets

 

Our current assets totaled $10.1 million and $3.8 million at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Total assets were $15.4 million and $14.2 million at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in current assets is primarily due to an increase in cash due to the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, and the sale of convertible debt offset by lower accounts receivable balances due to a decrease in revenues. The increase in total assets is primarily due to the increase in cash offset by the impairment charge recorded against goodwill and intangibles assets, as well as the lower accounts receivable and depreciation of fixed assets.

 

Liabilities and Working Capital

 

At March 31, 2012, our current and total liabilities were $9.1 million, compared to $11.6 million at March 31, 2011. The change in liabilities was related to a significant reduction in accounts payable and accrued license fees due to settlements with certain suppliers, offset by an increase in accrued compensation due to deferred payroll compensation and an increase in the fair market value of warrant derivative liabilities. Additionally, debt was reduced due to the restructuring of the Value Act Note, and the equity conversion of $1.8 million of that note. The Company had positive working capital of $4.1 million at March 31, 2012 as opposed to negative working capital of $3.3 million at March 31, 2011.

The Company has incurred losses and negative annual cash flows since inception, although the operating loss increased from $11.5 million in fiscal year 2011 to $16.9 million as of March 31, 2012. A significant portion of the loss is represented by one-time non-cash charges to stock compensation.

 

The consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Form 10-K include the accounts of the Company. The primary sources of liquidity have historically been issuance of common and preferred stock and borrowings under credit facilities. In fiscal year 2012, the Company raised $9.7 million through issuance of convertible debt and equity financings and through restructuring existing debt to convertible debt. Until we become cash flow positive, we anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will be our existing cash balances together with cash generated by our operating activities, cash on hand, as well as further borrowings or further capital raises. Assuming there are no further changes in expected sales and expense trends subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company believes that its cash position will be sufficient to continue operations for the next twelve months.

 

Operating Activities

 

In the year ended March 31, 2012, we used $1.8 million of net cash. Net cash used represents an increase in accounts payable and accrued compensation of $0.8 million, decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expense of $1.7 million, offset by decreases in accrued license fees and other liabilities of $0.6 million. These changes flow from the loss for the period, but exclude impairment charge of $5.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million, as well as interest, finance charges, debt extinguishment and debt discount costs of $10.7 million incurred to restructure liabilities, derivative liability costs of $4.4 million, and $7.5 million for stock and warrants issued for services, offset by supplier settlements of $1.4 million. In the year ended March 31, 2011, we used $1.0 million of net cash, including an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $1.3 million , flowing from the loss excluding impairment charge of $6.0 million , offset by non-cash stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $8.8 million of cash attributed to continuing operations.

 

The Company’s cash requirements in the future will be dependent on actions taken to improve cash flow, including operational restructuring. We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional debt securities or additional equity securities or to obtain a credit facility. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of increased indebtedness would result in additional debt service obligations and could result in additional operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that any additional debt or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We believe, therefore, that we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Revenues

 

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

 

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

 

51
 

 

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

 

Cost of Revenues

 

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

 

 Gross Margin

 

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

Operating Expenses

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

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

 

Income Taxes

 

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance on when and how to perform certain steps of the periodic goodwill impairment test for public entities that may have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2010, the FASB also issued guidance to clarify the reporting of pro forma financial information related to business combinations of public entities and to expand certain supplemental pro forma disclosures. This guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations that occur on or after the beginning of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend certain measurement and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to improve consistency with international reporting standards. This guidance is effective prospectively for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption by public entities prohibited, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2012. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended accounting guidance related to goodwill impairment testing. The new guidance provides the option to perform a qualitative assessment by applying a more likely than not scenario to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, which may then allow a company to skip the annual two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test depending on the determination. The amended guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Earlier adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will require a company to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not expect its adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued operations have been treated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)  205-20, Discontinued Operations.

 

54
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing material and software in the form of products (Image Galleries, Wallpapers, video, WAP Site access, Mobile TV), developing and maintaining carrier platforms, mobile advertising, mobile billing and mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on a perpetual or subscription basis.

  

A perpetual license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset on a perpetual basis. A subscription license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset for a limited period of time, ranging from a few days to as long as one month.

 

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

 

Revenues are recognized from the Company’s products, images and games when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. For both perpetual and subscription licenses, management considers a license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier or aggregator and a “clickwrap” agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an end user. For these licenses, the Company defines delivery as the download of the product, image or game by the end user.

 

The Company estimates revenues from carriers in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. Most carriers only provide detailed sales transaction data on a one to two month lag. Estimated revenue is treated as unbilled receivables until the detailed reporting is received and the revenues can be billed. Some carriers provide reliable interim preliminary reporting and others report sales data within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, both of which allow the Company to make reasonable estimates of revenues and therefore to recognize revenues during the reporting period when the end user licenses the product, image or game. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’s estimates for revenues include consideration of factors such as preliminary sales data, carrier-specific historical sales trends, volume of activity on company monitored sites, seasonality, time elapsed from launch of services or product lines, the age of games and the expected impact of newly launched games, successful introduction of newer and more advanced handsets, promotions during the period and economic trends. When the Company receives the final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Company records any differences between estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when the Company determines the actual amounts. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be reasonably estimated. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenues to be recognized in the current period, the Company recognizes revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when the Company’s portion of licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is probable. To monitor the reliability of the Company’s estimates, management, where possible, reviews the revenues by country, by carrier and by product line on a regular basis to identify unusual trends such as differential adoption rates by carriers or the introduction of new handsets. If the Company deems a carrier not to be creditworthy, the Company defers all revenues from the arrangement until the Company receives payment and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

58
 

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes as revenues the amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of the Company’s products, images or games. The Company has evaluated its carrier agreements and has determined that it is not the principal when selling its products, images or games through carriers. Key indicators that it evaluated to reach this determination include:

   

  wireless subscribers directly contract with the carriers, which have most of the service interaction and are generally viewed as the primary obligor by the subscribers;
     
  carriers generally have significant control over the types of content that they offer to their subscribers;
     
  carriers are directly responsible for billing and collecting fees from their subscribers, including the resolution of billing disputes;
     
  carriers generally pay the Company a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed fee for each game;
     
  carriers generally must approve the price of the Company’s content in advance of their sale to subscribers, and the Company’s more significant carriers generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their subscribers; and
     
  the Company has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit risk.

 

For direct to consumer business, revenue is earned by delivering a product or service directly to the end user of that product or service. In those cases, the Company records as revenue the amount billed to that end user and recognizes the revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Substantially all of our discontinued operations represents direct to consumer business.

 

Net (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares from stock options and warrants and the conversion of the Series A preferred stock were as follows:

 

    Year Ended     Year Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2012     2011  
                 
Potentially dilutive shares     21,943       11,992  

 

59
 

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity, but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive income currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

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

 

Content Provider Licenses

 

Content Provider License Fees

 

The Company’s royalty expenses consist of fees that it pays to branded content owners for the use of their intellectual property in the development of the Company’s games and other content, and other expenses directly incurred in earning revenue. Royalty-based obligations are either, accrued as incurred and subsequently paid, or in the case of content acquisitions, paid in advance and capitalized on our balance sheet as prepaid license fees. These royalty-based obligations are expensed to cost of revenues either at the applicable contractual rate related to that revenue or over the estimated life of the content acquired. Minimum guarantee license payments that are not recoupable against future royalties are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the branded title or the term of the license agreement.

 

Content Acquired

 

Amounts paid to third party content providers as part of an agreement to make content available to the Company for a term or in perpetuity, without a revenue share, have been capitalized and are included in the balance sheet as prepaid expenses. These balances will be expensed over the estimated life of the content acquired.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company applies the principles of FASB ASC 985-20, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product.

 

The Company has adopted the “tested working model” approach to establishing technological feasibility for its products and games. Under this approach, the Company does not consider a product or game in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the product or game that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final game and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs between the establishment of technological feasibility and the release of a product or game for sale; thus, the Company has expensed all software development costs as incurred. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile market; the gradual evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and mobile phones for which it develops products and games; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its products and games; the uncertainty regarding a product’s or game’s revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a product or game will be available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling products and games at any stage of the development process.

 

60
 

 

Product Development Costs

 

The Company charges costs related to research, design and development of products to product development expense as incurred. The types of costs included in product development expenses include salaries, contractor fees and allocated facilities costs.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including direct response advertising, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense for continuing operations was $7 and $116 in the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising expense for discontinued operations was $0 and $956 in the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Restructuring

 

The Company accounts for costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activities in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company records employee termination benefits as an operating expense when it communicates the benefit arrangement to the employee and it requires no significant future services, other than a minimum retention period, from the employee to earn the termination benefits.

 

Presentation

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued license fees, accrued compensation, derivative liabilities and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

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

 

61
 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using current rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred.  Statement of Operations amounts are translated at average rates in effect for the reporting period. The foreign currency translation adjustment gains of $97 in the year ended March 31, 2012 and $128 in the year ended March 31, 2011 has been reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. We have placed cash and cash equivalents with a single high credit-quality institution. Most of our sales are made directly to large national Mobile Phone Operators in the countries that we operate. We have a significant level of business and resulting significant accounts receivable balance with one operator and therefore have a high concentration of credit risk with that operator. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential credit losses. As of March 31, 2012, one major customer represented approximately 39% of our gross accounts receivable outstanding, and 43% of gross accounts receivable outstanding as of March 31, 2011. This customer accounted for 41% of our gross revenues in the year ended March 31, 2012; and 49% in the year ended March 31, 2011.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are the lesser of 8 to 10 years or the term of the lease for leasehold improvements and 5 years for other assets.

 

Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

 

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

 

In the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that there was an impairment of goodwill, amounting to $2,969.  In the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company determined that there was an impairment of goodwill, amounting to $1,546. In performing the related valuation analysis, the Company used various valuation methodologies including probability weighted discounted cash flows, comparable transaction analysis, and market capitalization and comparable company multiple comparison. The impairment is detailed in Note 9 below.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite Life Intangibles

 

Long-lived assets, including, intangible assets subject to amortization primarily consist of customer lists, license agreements and software that have been acquired are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful life ranging from five to eight years and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

  

In the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that there was an impairment of intangible assets amounting to $2,319. In the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company determined that there was an impairment of intangible assets, amounting to $4,482. In performing the related valuation analysis the Company used various valuation methodologies including probability weighted discounted cash flows, comparable transaction analysis, and market capitalization and comparable company multiple comparison. The impairment is detailed in Note 9 below.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under ASC 740-10, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities along with net operating losses, if it is more likely than not the tax benefits will be realized using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse.  To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot be recognized, a valuation allowance is established if necessary.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold should be measured as the largest amount of the tax benefits, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of the provision for income taxes. We do not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next 12 months.

 

Stock-based compensation.

 

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

 

Under ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense recognized represents the expense associated with the stock options we expect to ultimately vest based upon an estimated rate of forfeitures; this rate of forfeitures is updated as necessary and any adjustments needed to recognize the fair value of options that actually vest or are forfeited are recorded.

  

The Black-Scholes option pricing model, used to estimate the fair value of an award, requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, interest rates, dividend rates and an option’s expected life. As a result, the financial statements include amounts that are based upon our best estimates and judgments relating to the expenses recognized for stock-based compensation.

 

63
 

 

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

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company applies the guidance enumerated in FASB ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480-10”) when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 480-10. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the classification and measurement principles of ASC 480-10. Accordingly, the Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to revenues for periods not yet reported by Carriers, liabilities recorded for future minimum guarantee payments under content licenses, accounts receivable allowances, and stock-based compensation expense.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2012 because of the material weaknesses described below. 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

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

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework , published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2012 because of the material weaknesses identified below.

 

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

 

During management’s annual review of our internal control over financial reporting, we determined the following processes contain material weaknesses as of March 31, 2012:

 

Maintenance of Corporate Records and Contracts

 

Management did not maintain sufficient records of signed and approved records, contracts and board minutes. Board minutes were not always prepared and approved on a timely basis and signed and executed versions were not readily available.  Additionally, management does not have a policy in place to track board minutes to ensure completeness that all board minutes have been prepared. 

 

65
 

 

Management also did not maintain a systematic process for managing and controlling contracts such as corporate governance, financing and employee agreements, signed and executed stock option agreements and amendments, to ensure they are authorized timely and that the financial statement effect is properly recognized in the general ledger. 

 

Financial Close and Reporting Process

 

The Company significantly reduced the number of post-closing journal entries from the previous year. However, the lack of secondary review of key accounting and financial reporting functions results in a risk in that material accounting errors may not be detected timely. The accounting close and financial reporting process is the responsibility of one individual without sufficient backup for review of accounting functions such as preparation of journal entries and account reconciliations.

 

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

 

Our management is in the process of identifying the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses existing as of March 31, 2012 described above, as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the fiscal period ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

(1)The amounts in the “Stock” column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of each restricted stock award computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Under ASC 718, for Messer’s. Adderton and Ellin we estimated the fair value of the restricted stock granted using the Monte Carlo pricing method model that values the restricted stock awards using various random hypothecations of stock price; securities issuances for services; securities issuances for capital raises and acquisitions. The primary assumptions used in this analysis are: Stock price ($0.61 as of December 28, 2011) is projected to fluctuate based on a future annual volatility of 100%; Average monthly stock issuances for services is projected at 100,000 shares with a standard deviation of 50,000 shares; Average monthly stock issuances for capital is projected at 200,000 shares with a standard deviation of 100,000 shares; Average monthly stock issuances for acquisitions is projected at 200,000 with a standard deviation of 100,000 shares; Acquisition share issuances were not assumed for the first 3 months; Market cap hurdles of $100 million and $200 million are based on maintaining those levels for 30 trading days; Dilutive share analysis included warrants, options, restricted stock grants and convertible debt with only fixed price conversion and exercise prices; and restricted stock discount of 36.1%, risk-free rate of 0.1% and dividend yield of 0%. Forfeiture rate was assumed to be 0% due to the lack of any service requirement related to these awards.

 

For the amounts for other recipients in the “Stock” and “Options” columns were also computed under ASC 718. We estimated the fair value of restricted stock and stock options granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. The amount of expense recognized represents the expense associated with the restricted stock or stock options we expect to ultimately vest based upon an estimated rate of forfeitures; this rate of forfeitures is updated as necessary and any adjustments needed to recognize the fair value of restricted stock or options that actually vest or are forfeited are recorded. Vesting schedules for unvested stock grants or option grants for each officer are described below under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table”.

 

(2)Mr. Adderton was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer on December 28, 2011 following a period of service as our interim Chief Executive Officer that began on July 15, 2011. Mr. Adderton was previously serving as an advisor to us and received a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock at a per share price of $0.39 on September 27, 2010. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, Mr. Adderton was reimbursed $20,000 for his personal assistant, through payment to Skycrest Ventures, LLC, and such amounts are disclosed under “All Other”.

 

(3)Mr. Ellin was appointed Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors on December 28, 2011. Mr. Ellin also received $20,000 in ‘Other Compensation’ that consists of salary for a personal assistant that is reimbursed to Trinad Management, LLC. Prior to his appointment as Executive Chairman, we were a party to a Management Agreement, dated September 14, 2006 with Trinad Management, LLC, the manager of Trinad Capital Master Fund, which is one of our principal stockholders. Mr. Ellin is the managing director of and portfolio manager for Trinad Management, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, Trinad Management, LLC provides certain management services, including, without limitation, relating to the sourcing, structuring and negotiation of a potential business combination involving the Company, for a fee of $90,000 per quarter.

 

(4)Ms. Higgins-Lucero was appointed as our Principal Financial Officer on July 26, 2011.

 

(5)On April 12, 2012, Mr. Mandell resigned from his positions with us. In February 2011, while an officer of the Company, Mr. Mandell agreed to cancel 400,000 shares underlying an option to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and the Company granted an option to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.

 

Management Agreement

 

On September 14, 2006, the Company entered into a five year management agreement (“Agreement”) with Trinad Management, LLC the manager of Trinad Capital Master Fund, which is one of our principal stockholders. In addition, Robert Ellin, our Executive Chairman, is the managing director of and portfolio manager for Trinad Management. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Trinad Management provided certain management services, including, without limitation, relating to the sourcing, structuring and negotiation of a potential business combination transaction involving the Company in exchange for a fee of $90,000 per quarter, plus reimbursements of all related expenses reasonably incurred. The Agreement expired on September 14, 2011, but was extended to December 31, 2011. For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred management fees under the agreement of $270,000 and $360,000 respectively. At March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the accrued payable to Trinad Management was $135,000 and $180,000 respectively.

 

In March 2008, we entered into a month-to-month lease for office space with Trinad Management for rent of $9,000 per month, which was subsequently reduced to $5,000 per month. Rent expense in connection with this lease was $0 and $40,000 respectively for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. This lease was terminated in December 2010 when the Company moved to a new location.

 

Senior Secured Convertible Notes

 

On June 21, 2010, we sold and issued $2,500,000 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes due June 21, 2013 (the “New Senior Secured Notes”) to certain significant stockholders, comprised of a $1,500,000 New Senior Secured Note sold and issued to Trinad Capital Master Fund and a $1,000,000 New Senior Secured Note sold and issued to the Guber Family Trust (the “Offering”). Trinad Capital Master Fund is one of our principal stockholders and an affiliate of our Executive Chairman, Robert Ellin.  Peter Guber, our Chairman, serves as trustee of the Guber Family Trust. The New Senior Secured Notes have a three-year term and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable in arrears semi-annually. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured Notes, we may, at our option, in lieu of making any cash payment of interest, elect that the amount of any interest due and payable on any interest payment date on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured Notes be added to the principal due under the New Senior Secured Notes. The accrued and unpaid principal and interest due on the New Senior Secured Notes are convertible at any time at the election of the holder into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The Amended ValueAct Note (described below) is subordinated to the New Senior Secured Notes.

 

Each purchaser of a New Senior Secured Note also received a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment.  For each $50,000 of New Senior Secured Notes purchased, the purchaser received a Warrant to purchase 166,667 shares of common stock.  Each Warrant has a five-year term.

 

Twistbox

 

Twistbox engages in various business relationships with its stockholders and officers and their related entities. The significant relationships are as follows:

 

79
 

 

Loans

 

As part of the Merger, we agreed to guarantee up to $8,250,000 of Twistbox’s outstanding debt to ValueAct, with certain amendments. On July 30, 2007, Twistbox had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among Twistbox, the Subsidiary Guarantors, as defined therein, and ValueAct, pursuant to which ValueAct purchased the ValueAct Note in the amount of $16,500,000 and a Warrant which entitled ValueAct to purchase from Twistbox up to a total of 2,401,747 shares of Twistbox’s common stock.  In connection therewith, Twistbox and ValueAct had also entered into a Guarantee and Security Agreement by and among Twistbox, each of the subsidiaries of Twistbox, the Investors, as defined therein, and ValueAct, as collateral agent, pursuant to which the parties agreed that the ValueAct Note would be secured by substantially all of the assets of Twistbox and its subsidiaries. In connection with the Merger, the Warrant was terminated and we issued two warrants in place thereof to ValueAct to purchase shares of our common stock. One of such warrants entitled ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,622 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.55 per share. The other warrant entitled ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,621 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $5.00 per share.  We also entered into a Guaranty with ValueAct whereby we agreed to guarantee Twistbox’s payment to ValueAct of up to $8,250,000 of principal under the ValueAct Note in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in the ValueAct Note. The financial covenants of the ValueAct Note were also amended, to provide that Twistbox was required maintain a cash balance of not less than $2,500,000 at all times and we were required to maintain a cash balance of not less than $4,000,000 at all times.

 

On October 23, 2008, in connection with the AMV Acquisition, the Company, Twistbox and ValueAct entered into a Second Amendment to the ValueAct Note in the amount of $16,500,000, which among other things, provided for a payment in kind election at the option of Twistbox, modified the financial covenants set forth in the ValueAct Note to require that the Company and Twistbox maintain certain minimum combined cash balances and provided for certain covenants with respect to the indebtedness of the Company. and its subsidiaries.  Also on October 23, 2008, AMV granted to ValueAct a security interest in its assets to secure the obligations under the ValueAct Note. In addition, Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and ValueAct entered into an allonge to each of those certain warrants issued to ValueAct in connection with the Merger, which, among other things, amended the exercise price of each of the warrants to $4.00 per share.

 

On August 14, 2009, for $3,500,000 in principal (the “Amended ValueAct Note”). In connection with the Restructure, the ValueAct Note, the Value Act Security Agreement and the Value Act Guaranty were amended and restated in their entirety. In addition, all warrants and common stock of the Company held by ValueAct were cancelled and all warrants and common stock of the Company held by AMV founders Nate MacLeitch and Jonathan Cresswell, former directors of the Company, were repurchased by the Company for a price of $0.02 per share.

 

On August 14, 2009, the Company, Twistbox and ValueAct entered into a Third Amendment to the ValueAct Note. Pursuant to this Third Amendment, the maturity date of the ValueAct Note was changed to July 31, 2010 and the interest rate of the ValueAct Note increased from 10% to 12.5%. 

 

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

 

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

 On June 21, 2010, we sold all of the operating subsidiaries of AMV to an entity controlled by ValueAct and certain of AMV’s founders in exchange for the release of $23,000,000 of secured indebtedness, comprising of a release of all amounts due and payable under the AMV Note and all amounts due and payable under the VAC Note except”) election to the note through the revised term, and (3) stripped out $3,000,000 of principal to create the Taja Convertible Note, leaving a principal balance of $500,000 plus accrued interest of $562,000 for a total of $1,062,000. As consideration for amending the note, Taja also received a warrant (“Incentive Warrant”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment. Taja also received 25% warrant coverage (“Coverage Warrant”) determined by dividing the principal amount of the Taja Convertible Note by the conversion price multiplied by 25%. The Incentive Warrant and the Coverage Warrant have a five year term and vest one year from issue date.

 

On December 16, 2011, the Amended ValueAct Note was purchased in its entirety by Taja LLC (“Taja) and was amended to remove certain negative covenants from the Note (the “Amended Taja Note”). On December 29, 2011, the Company and Taja entered into a binding term sheet for convertible note financing (“Taja Convertible Note”) and, effectively, a third amendment to the Second Amended Note (“Third Amended Note”). The Third Amended Note (1) changed the maturity date of the Note from June 21, 2013 to June 21, 2015, (2) extended the payment in kind (“PIK the Company and ValueAct entered into a Second Allonge to Warrant to Purchase 1,092,621 shares of common stock (the “Second Allonge”), which amended that certain warrant to purchase 1,092,621 shares of the Company’s common stock, issued to ValueAct on February 12, 2008, as amended (the “ValueAct Warrant”).  Pursuant to the Second Allonge, the exercise price of the ValueAct Warrant decreased from $4.00 per share to the lesser of $1.25 per share, or the exercise price per share for any warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued by the Company to certain other parties.

 

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

 

On March 19, 2012, the Company issued 2,600,000 shares of its common stock to Taja for the conversion of $1,820,000 of the Amended Taja Convertible Note.

 

The above description of the Restructure does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by us on June 23, 2010, January 4, 2012, and March 7, 2012, and relevant exhibits thereo, which are incorporated by reference herein.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors

 

Consistent with the SEC policies regarding auditor independence, our Board of Directors has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, our Board of Directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

 

Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of the following four categories of services to the Board of Directors for approval.

 

1.   Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

 

2.   Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

 

3.   Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

 

4.   Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories.

 

Prior to engagement, the Board of Directors pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Board of Directors requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Board of Directors requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.

 

82
 

 

The Board of Directors may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Board of Directors at its next scheduled meeting.

 

Our Board of Directors pre-approved the retention of the independent auditors for all audit and audit-related services during fiscal 2012 and 2011.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operation, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss, 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 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 have, 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 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(all numbers in thousands except per share amounts)

 

 

  

  1. Organization

  

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Mandalay Digital”), formerly NeuMedia, Inc. (“NeuMedia”), formerly Mandalay Media, Inc. (“Mandalay Media”) and formerly Mediavest, Inc. (“Mediavest”), was originally incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 6, 1998 under the name eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 27, 2000, it merged into DynamicWeb Enterprises Inc., a New Jersey corporation, the surviving company, and changed its name to eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 13, 2005, the Company changed its name to Mediavest, Inc.  Through January 26, 2005, the Company and its former subsidiaries were engaged in providing business-to-business transaction management services designed to simplify trading between buyers and suppliers. The Company was inactive from January 26, 2005 until its merger with Twistbox Entertainment, Inc., February 12, 2008.  On September 14, 2007, Mediavest was re-incorporated in the state of Delaware as Mandalay Media, Inc. On May 11, 2010 the Company merged with a wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, changing its name to NeuMedia, Inc. On February 6, 2012, the Company merged with a wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, changing its name to Mandalay Digital Group, Inc.

 

Twistbox is a global publisher and distributor of branded entertainment content and services primarily focused on enabling the development, distribution and billing of content across mobile networks.  Twistbox publishes and distributes its content in a number of countries.  Since operations began in 2003, Twistbox has developed an intellectual property portfolio that includes mobile rights to global brands and content from film, television and lifestyle media companies. Twistbox has built a proprietary mobile publishing platform that includes: tools that automate device management for the distribution and billing of images and video; a mobile games development and distribution platform that automates the porting of mobile games and applications to multiple handsets; and a content standards and ratings system globally adopted by major wireless carriers to assist with the responsible deployment of age-verified content.  Twistbox has distribution and service agreements with many of the largest mobile operators in the world.

 

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

 

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

 

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

On May 10, 2010, an administrator was appointed over AMV Holding Limited in the UK, at the request of the Company’s senior debt holder. As from that date, AMV and its subsidiaries are considered to be a discontinued operation. AMV and its subsidiaries were subsequently disposed, as set out in Note 8 below.

 

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

 

On June 21, 2010, the Company signed and closed an agreement whereby ValueAct and the AMV Founders, acting through a newly formed company, acquired the operating subsidiaries of AMV (the “Assets”) in exchange for the release of $23,231 of secured indebtedness, comprising of a release of all amounts due and payable under the AMV Note and all of the amounts due and payable under the ValueAct Note (as defined below) except for $3,500 in principal. The Company retained all assets and liabilities of Twistbox and the Company other than the Assets. See Note 8 for further discussion on the discontinued operations.

 

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

 

2.Liquidity

 

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

 

The primary sources of liquidity have historically been issuance of common and preferred stock and borrowings under credit facilities. In fiscal year 2012, the Company raised $9.7 million through issuance of convertible debt and equity financings and through restructuring existing debt to convertible debt. Until we become cash flow positive, we anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will be cash generated by our operating activities, as well as further borrowings or further capital raises. Assuming there are no further changes in expected sales and expense trends subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company believes that its cash position will be sufficient to continue operations for the foreseeable next twelve months.

  3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued operations have been treated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)  205-20, Discontinued Operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing material and software in the form of products (Image Galleries, Wallpapers, video, WAP Site access, Mobile TV), developing and maintaining carrier platforms, mobile advertising, mobile billing and mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on a perpetual or subscription basis.

 

F-9
 

 

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

A perpetual license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset on a perpetual basis. A subscription license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset for a limited period of time, ranging from a few days to as long as one month.

 

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

 

Revenues are recognized from the Company’s products, images and games when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. For both perpetual and subscription licenses, management considers a license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier or aggregator and a “clickwrap” agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an end user. For these licenses, the Company defines delivery as the download of the product, image or game by the end user.

 

The Company estimates revenues from carriers in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. Most carriers only provide detailed sales transaction data on a one to two month lag. Estimated revenue is treated as unbilled receivables until the detailed reporting is received and the revenues can be billed. Some carriers provide reliable interim preliminary reporting and others report sales data within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, both of which allow the Company to make reasonable estimates of revenues and therefore to recognize revenues during the reporting period when the end user licenses the product, image or game. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’s estimates for revenues include consideration of factors such as preliminary sales data, carrier-specific historical sales trends, volume of activity on company monitored sites, seasonality, time elapsed from launch of services or product lines, the age of games and the expected impact of newly launched games, successful introduction of newer and more advanced handsets, promotions during the period and economic trends. When the Company receives the final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Company records any differences between estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when the Company determines the actual amounts. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be reasonably estimated. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenues to be recognized in the current period, the Company recognizes revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when the Company’s portion of licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is probable. To monitor the reliability of the Company’s estimates, management, where possible, reviews the revenues by country, by carrier and by product line on a regular basis to identify unusual trends such as differential adoption rates by carriers or the introduction of new handsets. If the Company deems a carrier not to be creditworthy, the Company defers all revenues from the arrangement until the Company receives payment and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes as revenues the amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of the Company’s products, images or games. The Company has evaluated its carrier agreements and has determined that it is not the principal when selling its products, images or games through carriers. Key indicators that it evaluated to reach this determination include:

 

F-10
 

 

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

  wireless subscribers directly contract with the carriers, which have most of the service interaction and are generally viewed as the primary obligor by the subscribers;
     
  carriers generally have significant control over the types of content that they offer to their subscribers;
     
  carriers are directly responsible for billing and collecting fees from their subscribers, including the resolution of billing disputes;
     
  carriers generally pay the Company a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed fee for each game;
     
  carriers generally must approve the price of the Company’s content in advance of their sale to subscribers, and the Company’s more significant carriers generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their subscribers; and
     
  the Company has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit risk.

 

For direct to consumer business, revenue is earned by delivering a product or service directly to the end user of that product or service. In those cases, the Company records as revenue the amount billed to that end user and recognizes the revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Substantially all of our discontinued operations represents direct to consumer business.

 

Net (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares from stock options and warrants and the conversion of the Series A preferred stock were as follows:

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended 
   March 31,   March 31, 
   2012   2011 
           
Potentially dilutive shares   21,943    11,992

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity, but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive income currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

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

 

Content Provider Licenses

 

Content Provider License Fees

 

The Company’s royalty expenses consist of fees that it pays to branded content owners for the use of their intellectual property in the development of the Company’s games and other content, and other expenses directly incurred in earning revenue. Royalty-based obligations are either, accrued as incurred and subsequently paid, or in the case of content acquisitions, paid in advance and capitalized on our balance sheet as prepaid license fees. These royalty-based obligations are expensed to cost of revenues either at the applicable contractual rate related to that revenue or over the estimated life of the content acquired. Minimum guarantee license payments that are not recoupable against future royalties are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the branded title or the term of the license agreement.

 

Content Acquired

 

Amounts paid to third party content providers as part of an agreement to make content available to the Company for a term or in perpetuity, without a revenue share, have been capitalized and are included in the balance sheet as prepaid expenses. These balances will be expensed over the estimated life of the content acquired.

Software Development Costs

 

The Company applies the principles of FASB ASC 985-20, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product.

 

The Company has adopted the “tested working model” approach to establishing technological feasibility for its products and games. Under this approach, the Company does not consider a product or game in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the product or game that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final game and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs between the establishment of technological feasibility and the release of a product or game for sale; thus, the Company has expensed all software development costs as incurred. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile market; the gradual evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and mobile phones for which it develops products and games; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its products and games; the uncertainty regarding a product’s or game’s revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a product or game will be available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling products and games at any stage of the development process.

 

Product Development Costs

 

The Company charges costs related to research, design and development of products to product development expense as incurred. The types of costs included in product development expenses include salaries, contractor fees and allocated facilities costs.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including direct response advertising, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense for continuing operations was $7 and $116 in the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising expense for discontinued operations was $0 and $956 in the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Restructuring

 

The Company accounts for costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activities in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company records employee termination benefits as an operating expense when it communicates the benefit arrangement to the employee and it requires no significant future services, other than a minimum retention period, from the employee to earn the termination benefits.

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued license fees, accrued compensation, derivative liabilities and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

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

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using current rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred.  Statement of Operations amounts are translated at average rates in effect for the reporting period. The foreign currency translation adjustment gains of $97 in the year ended March 31, 2012 and $128 in the year ended March 31, 2011 has been reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. We have placed cash and cash equivalents with a single high credit-quality institution. Most of our sales are made directly to large national Mobile Phone Operators in the countries that we operate. We have a significant level of business and resulting significant accounts receivable balance with one operator and therefore have a high concentration of credit risk with that operator. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential credit losses. As of March 31, 2012, one major customer represented approximately 39% of our gross accounts receivable outstanding, and 43% of gross accounts receivable outstanding as of March 31, 2011. This customer accounted for 41% of our gross revenues in the year ended March 31, 2012; and 49% in the year ended March 31, 2011.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are the lesser of 8 to 10 years or the term of the lease for leasehold improvements and 5 years for other assets.

 

Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

 

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

 

In the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that there was an impairment of goodwill, amounting to $2,969.  In the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company determined that there was an impairment of goodwill, amounting to $1,546. In performing the related valuation analysis, the Company used various valuation methodologies including probability weighted discounted cash flows, comparable transaction analysis, and market capitalization and comparable company multiple comparison. The impairment is detailed in Note 9 below.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite Life Intangibles

 

Long-lived assets, including, intangible assets subject to amortization primarily consist of customer lists, license agreements and software that have been acquired are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful life ranging from five to eight years and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

In the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that there was an impairment of intangible assets amounting to $2,319. In the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company determined that there was an impairment of intangible assets, amounting to $4,482. In performing the related valuation analysis the Company used various valuation methodologies including probability weighted discounted cash flows, comparable transaction analysis, and market capitalization and comparable company multiple comparison. The impairment is detailed in Note 9 below.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under ASC 740-10, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities along with net operating losses, if it is more likely than not the tax benefits will be realized using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse.  To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot be recognized, a valuation allowance is established if necessary.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold should be measured as the largest amount of the tax benefits, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of the provision for income taxes. We do not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next 12 months.

 

Stock-based compensation.

 

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

 

Under ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense recognized represents the expense associated with the stock options we expect to ultimately vest based upon an estimated rate of forfeitures; this rate of forfeitures is updated as necessary and any adjustments needed to recognize the fair value of options that actually vest or are forfeited are recorded.

 

F-16
 

  

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model, used to estimate the fair value of an award, requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, interest rates, dividend rates and an option’s expected life. As a result, the financial statements include amounts that are based upon our best estimates and judgments relating to the expenses recognized for stock-based compensation.

 

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

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company applies the guidance enumerated in FASB ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480-10”) when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 480-10. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the classification and measurement principles of ASC 480-10. Accordingly, the Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to revenues for periods not yet reported by Carriers, liabilities recorded for future minimum guarantee payments under content licenses, accounts receivable allowances, and stock-based compensation expense.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance on when and how to perform certain steps of the periodic goodwill impairment test for public entities that may have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2010, the FASB also issued guidance to clarify the reporting of pro forma financial information related to business combinations of public entities and to expand certain supplemental pro forma disclosures. This guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations that occur on or after the beginning of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend certain measurement and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to improve consistency with international reporting standards. This guidance is effective prospectively for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption by public entities prohibited, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2012. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended accounting guidance related to goodwill impairment testing. The new guidance provides the option to perform a qualitative assessment by applying a more likely than not scenario to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, which may then allow a company to skip the annual two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test depending on the determination. The amended guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Earlier adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated this guidance, and determined it doesn’t have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

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

  4. Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

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

 

  · Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

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

 

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

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company determined the fair value of the derivative warrant liability to be $452 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: 1) expected life 4 years, 2) a risk free interest rate of .51%, 3) a dividend yield of 0% and 4) a volatility of 175%.

The warrant derivative liability is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and is discussed further at Note 12.

 

The Company did not identify any other recurring assets and liabilities that are required to be presented in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 825.

 

Measured at Fair Value on A Nonrecurring Basis

 

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the fair value hierarchy (as described above) as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

       Carrying value at March 31, 2012   Cumulative losses 
(in thousands)  Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   as of March 31, 2012

Goodwill and other intangible assets   9,975            9,975    68,770 

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate to goodwill and intangible assets that were acquired in connection with an acquisition. Losses of $74,058 and $68,770 represent the cumulative impairment charge related to these intangible assets recorded in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of these intangible assets was calculated based on the methods and criteria described in Note 9 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

  8. Discontinued Operations

 

 The Company had been negotiating a restructuring of debt with its senior debt holder for some time.  These negotiations were finalized on June 21, 2010.  On that date, the Company signed and closed a number of transactions, which included the sale of AMV. Pursuant to the Agreement, ValueAct Small Cap Master Fund, L.P. (“ValueAct”) and Nate MacLeitch and Jonathan Cresswell (the “AMV Founders”), acting through a newly formed company, acquired the operating subsidiaries of AMV in exchange for the release of $23,231 of secured indebtedness, which included a release of all amounts due and payable under the secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,375 (the “AMV Note”) and all of the amounts due and payable under the Senior Secured Note, issued by Twistbox, due July 31, 2010, as amended on February 12, 2008 (the “ValueAct Note”) except for $3,500 in principal, which is due in one lump sum principal payment on June 21, 2013. In addition, all intercompany balances at that date were cancelled, and all shares of common stock and warrants of the Company held by ValueAct were cancelled. In addition, approximately 3,541 shares of common stock of the Company held by two of the founders of AMV were acquired by the Company.  As of June 30, 2010 the Company accrued $300 to a related party pertaining to the sale of AMV.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, the operating results and net assets and liabilities related to AMV were reclassified as of June 21, 2010 and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company recorded a gain of $4,200 on the sale of AMV.

 

The following is a summary of assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations as of March 31, 2010 and as of the disposal date of June 21, 2010 and the resulting gain on sale:

Fair value is defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures as, “The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”. The Company considered the income and market approaches to derive an opinion of value. Under the income approach, the Company utilized the discounted cash flow method, and under the market approach, consideration was given to the guideline public company method, the merger and acquisition method, and the market capitalization method.

 

As a result of the assessment, the Company determined that its net book value exceeded the implied fair value; and recorded an impairment charge of $2,969 for the year ended March 31, 2012 and $1,546 for the year ended March 31, 2011 to write down goodwill. The impairment charge is included “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” within operating expenses in the statements of operations.

Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company sold and issued $7,000 of subordinated short term convertible notes (the “New Convertible Note”). The New Convertible Note is subordinated to the New Senior Secured Notes. The New Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 3% per annum payable at the time of conversion. The term of the New Convertible Note is the earlier of (i) the date of the Company’s next equity financing round or (ii) the date that is one year following the date of the New Convertible Note. The New Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock one year from the date of the New Convertible Note at a conversion price equal to (x) if in connection with a next equity financing round, a 25% discount to the actual or implied stock price in such financing or (y) if the Company does not complete the next equity financing round within one year of the date of the New Convertible Note, at 75% of the average trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 30-day period immediately prior to conversion. In no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.50.

 

The purchaser of the New Convertible Note also received a warrant (“Convertible Note Warrant”) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The number of shares which may be purchased under the Convertible Note Warrant is equal to an amount calculated by multiplying 25% by the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of the principal under the New Convertible Note outstanding immediately prior to conversion by the conversion price. The conversion price is to be determined based on a qualified event or one year with an exercise price of no less than $0.50 per share. The Convertible Note Warrant has a five year term and the issuer can require conversion of the Convertible Note Warrant if (i) the common stock of issuer is traded on NASDAQ (or other national stock exchange); (ii) for at least (60) consecutive days at a price equal to or greater than 150% of the Conversion Price, and (iii) the common stock has traded with an average daily volume of at least 200,000 shares. The Convertible Note Warrant was initially recorded as a derivative liability upon issuance. As discussed in Note 12, the Company received a waiver from the Senior Secured Convertible note holders on March 26, 2012 which allowed the Company to reclassify the Convertible Note Warrant from a derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.

 

The Company determined that the New Convertible Note has an embedded conversion feature that is required to be bifurcated and measured at fair value at each reporting. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the Convertible Note Warrant of the New Convertible Note was $6,078 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

·Expected life of 1 year
·Risk free interest rate of .12%
·Dividend yield of 0%
·Volatility of 175%

 

The Company determined the fair value of the Convertible Note Warrants to be $2,177, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

·Expected life of 5 years
·Risk free interest rate of .88%
·Dividend yield of 0%
·Volatility of 175%

 

The combined total discount pertaining to the conversion feature of the New Convertible Note and the Convertible Note Warrant was originally limited to the face value of the New Convertible Note of $7,000 and is being amortized over the term of the New Convertible Note, with the $1,255 fair value that exceeded the face value being charged to operations as interest expense.

 

On March 1, 2012, the Company amended the New Convertible Note including the following amendments:

 

·The conversion price was amended to $0.70 for the entire principal and all accrued and unpaid interest.

·The warrants to become exercisable as of March 1, 2012. Previously the warrants could only be exercised by the holder on or after the date on which the common stock had traded on NASDAQ (or any other nationally recognized securities exchange) at a price equal to or greater than the conversion price for a period of 60 consecutive trading days with an average daily volume of at least 200,000 shares.

·The warrant exercise price was amended to $0.70.

 

On March 1, 2012, the entire amount of the New Convertible Note of $7,000 including accrued interest of $37 was converted into 10,053 shares based on an agreed upon conversion rate of $0.70. The Company assessed the debt modification for the New Convertible Note and determined that it met the requirements for extinguishment accounting per FASB ASC 470 and accordingly, recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2,117 for the year ended March 31, 2012.

 

The Company had recorded a debt discount based on the fair value of the Convertible Note Warrant and the embedded conversion feature. Due to the conversion of the New Convertible Note, the Company expensed the $7,000 debt discount to interest expense.

 

ValueAct Note

 

As described in Note 8, in connection with the disposal of AMV on June 21, 2010, all amounts due and payable under the AMV Note were released, and the ValueAct Note was amended and restated in its entirety and reduced to $3,500 of principal (the “Amended ValueAct Note”).

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

On March 19, 2012, the Company issued 2,600 shares of its common stock to Taja for the conversion of $1,820 of the Amended Taja Convertible Note. The Company expensed to interest expense the debt discount on a pro rata basis of the amount converted to the original debt amount to reflect the conversion of the $1,820. During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded interest expense of $1,873 related to the amortization of the debt discount. The remaining discount of $1,127 will be amortized over the period ending March 1, 2014. The Company assessed the conversion of $1,820 and determined that it met the requirements for extinguishment accounting per FASB ASC 470 and accordingly, recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,346 for the year ended March 31, 2012.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the $1,180 outstanding principal balance is convertible into approximately 1,686,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.70. At March 31, 2012, the if-converted value exceeds the principal by approximately $405.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes

 

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

The Warrants granted to the New Senior Secured Note holders on June 21, 2010 and conversion feature in the New Senior Secured Notes are not considered derivative instruments since the Warrants and the New Senior Secured Notes have a set conversion price and all of the requirements for equity classification were met. The Company determined the fair value of the detachable warrants issued in connection with the New Senior Secured Notes to be $1,678, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:  expected life of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 2.05%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 54.62%. In addition, the Company determined the value of the beneficial conversion feature to be $5,833. The combined total discount for the New Senior Secured Notes is limited to the face value of the New Senior Secured Notes of $2,500 and is being amortized over the term of the New Senior Secured Notes. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company amortized $835 of the aforesaid discounts as interest and financing costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The remaining discount of $1,020 will be amortized over the period ending June 21, 2013.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the $2,974 outstanding principal and accrued interest is convertible into approximately 19,827 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.15. At March 31, 2012, the if-converted value exceeds the principal and accrued interest by approximately $474.

Derivative liabilities

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company determined that certain warrants were considered derivatives because they did not meet the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74. The fair value of these warrants was $452 and $223 at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company issued a $7,000 New Convertible Note with conversion rate at 75% of the average trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 30-day period immediately prior to conversion with a floor of $0.50. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued a Coverage Warrant equal to multiplying 25% by the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of the principal under the convertible note outstanding immediately prior to conversion by the conversion price.

 

Previously issued warrants and embedded conversion features had met the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74; however, due to the increased number of potential common shares that would need to be issued upon conversion of the note, the Company did not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares as required by

ASC 815-40-25-10 (b) causing all outstanding derivatives and embedded conversion features to not meet the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74. As a result, the Company was required to separately account for the outstanding warrants and embedded conversion options as derivative liabilities, carried at fair value and marked-to-market each reporting period, with changes in the fair value each period being charged or credited to operations.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company valued all previously outstanding warrants and embedded conversion features using the Black-Scholes model and reclassified $17,549 from additional paid-in capital to derivative liabilities. The Company also recorded a derivative liability of $8,255 representing the fair value of the embedded conversion option and the Coverage Warrant issued with the New Convertible Note. The Company determined the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

   Previously Outstanding Instruments   New Convertible Note 
       Embedded   Embedded     
       Conversion   Conversion   Coverage 
   Warrants   Options   Option   Warrant 
Estimated Life (years)   1.82 – 4.5    1.48    1    5 
Risk Free Interest Rate   .28 - .88%   0.12%   0.12%   0.88%
Dividend Yield   0%   0%   0%   0%
Volatility   175%   175%   175%   175%

 

On March 26, 2012, the Senior Secured Convertible Note holders issued a waiver to the Company stating that they would not convert their notes until the Company has notified them in writing that the Company has increased its authorized capital sufficiently so that the conversion, exchange or exercise of all convertible securities can be effectuated without the Company exceeding its authorized capital.

With the issuance of the waiver, the Company determined that the outstanding warrants and embedded conversion options met the scope exception of ASC 815-10-15-74 as it had sufficient authorized and unissued shares as required by ASC 815-40-25-10 (b). Therefore, the Company valued all outstanding warrants and embedded conversion options on March 26, 2011 and reclassified $28,733 from derivative liability to additional paid-in capital. The Company determined the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

       Embedded 
       Conversion 
   Warrants   Options 
Estimated Life (years)   1.60 - 4.93    1.24 
Risk Free Interest Rate   0.36% - 1.04%   0.12%
Dividend Yield   0%   0%
Volatility   175%   175%

 

Restricted Stock Agreements

 

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company entered into restrictive stock agreements (“RSAs”) with certain employees and consultants. The RSAs have performance conditions, market conditions, time conditions or a combination. Once the stock vests, the individual is restricted from selling the shares of stock for a certain defined period from three months to two years depending on the RSA. Certain RSA are granted voting rights while other RSAs are not granted voting rights.

 

Performance and Market Condition RSAs

 

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

(formerly known as NeuMedia, Inc.)

 

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

 

Of the 15,850 restricted shares, the 5,283 vested shares and 8,292 unvested shares were granted voting rights and have been included in the outstanding shares as of March 31, 2012. The remaining unvested shares do not have voting rights and have been excluded from the outstanding shares as of March 31, 2012.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company expensed $3,552 related to the 15,850 RSAs issued on December 28, 2011 and will expense the remaining $2,233 over the period ended December 28, 2013.

Time and Performance Condition RSAs

 

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

 

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

 

Of the 2,375 restricted shares, the 1,025 vested shares are determined to have voting rights and have been included in the outstanding shares as of March 31, 2012. The remaining 1,350 unvested shares do not have voting rights and have been excluded from the outstanding shares as of March 31, 2012.

 

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

 

Time Condition RSAs

 

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

 

Of the 7,100 restricted shares, the 3,650 vested shares are determined to have voting rights and have been included in the outstanding shares as of March 31, 2012. The remaining 3,450 unvested shares do not have voting rights and have been excluded from the outstanding shares as of March 31, 2012.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended 
   March 31,   March 31, 
   2012   2011 
           
Net Operating Loss Carryforward   24,188    22,891

Deferred Tax   34,326    24,830 
Valuation Allowance   (34,326)   (24,830)
Net Deferred Tax Asset   -    - 

 

In accordance with ASC 740 and based on all available evidence on a jurisdictional basis, the Company believes that, it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be utilized, and has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards to reduce future Federal income taxes of approximately $60,355, expiring in various years ranging through 2031. Utilization of the NOLs may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as well as similar state limitations.  These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOLs that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively.  In general, an "ownership change" as defined by Section 382 of the Code, results from a transaction of series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock by a company by certain stockholders or public groups.

As of March 31, 2012, realization of the Company's net deferred tax asset of approximately $34,326 was not considered more likely than not and, accordingly, a valuation allowance of $34,326 has been provided. During the year ended March 31, 2012, the valuation allowance increased by $9,496.

 

ASC 740 requires the consideration of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.  Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 on January 1, 2008 and there was no difference between the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits recognized in the balance sheet prior to the adoption of ASC 740 and those after the adoption of ASC 740. There were no unrecognized tax benefits not subject to valuation allowance as at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011. The Company recognized no interest and penalties on income taxes in its statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2012; or the year ended March 31, 2011.  Management has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2012. The Company’s Federal and State income tax returns remain subject to examination for all tax years ended 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company is currently under audit examination by the IRS of the tax year December 31, 2010.

Litigation

 

Twistbox’s wholly owned subsidiary, WAAT Media Corp. (“WAAT”) and General Media Communications, Inc. (“GMCI”) were parties to a content license agreement dated May 30, 2006, whereby GMCI granted to WAAT certain exclusive rights to exploit GMCI branded content via mobile devices. GMCI terminated the agreement on January 26, 2009 based on its claim that WAAT failed to cure a material breach pertaining to the non-payment of a minimum royalty guarantee installment in the amount of $485. On or about March 16, 2009, GMCI filed a complaint seeking the balance of the minimum guarantee payments due under the agreement in the approximate amount of $4,085. WAAT counter-sued claiming GMCI was not entitled to the claimed amount and that it had breached the agreement by, among other things, failing to promote, market and advertise the mobile services as required under the agreement and by fraudulently inducing WAAT to enter into the agreement based on GMCI’s repeated assurances of its intention to reinvigorate its flagship brand. GMCI filed a demurrer to the counter-claim. WAAT subsequently filed an amended counter-claim. On August 16, 2011, the LA Superior Court ruled in favor of WAAT’s Summary Judgment Motion. As a result, GMCI’s potential damages were limited to the amount of minimum royalty installments that accrued prior to termination of the content license agreement in the amount of approximately $800. Trial had been scheduled for April 16, 2012, however on December 22, 2011 the parties agreed to a settlement of $300 in favor of GMCI, pursuant to which WAAT will be required to pay GMCI $300 over a 30 month period, beginning December 28, 2011. As of March 31, 2012 the Company has accrued $260, which is included in Accounts Payable on the balance sheet.

 

On March 6, 2012 the Company received a notice of levy in the amount of $73 pertaining to a dispute with a service provider. The Company has recorded the full amount in Accounts Payable on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

On May 4, 2012 the Company received notice of a judgment in the amount of £23 pertaining to a dispute with a previous employee. The Company has recorded the full amount in Accrued Compensation on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Based on the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate liability, if any in the aggregate of other claims will not be material to the financial position or results of operations of the Company for any future period; and no liability has been accrued. 

 

  17. Subsequent Events

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 23, 2012, on February 22, 2012, the Company received notice from the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC BB) that its common stock would be removed from OTC BB under NASD Rule 6530(e), under which any OTC BB issuer that is delinquent in its reporting obligations three times in a 24-month period is ineligible for quotation on the OTC BB for a period of one year. The Company requested and received a hearing to review the OTC BB's determination, which occurred on April 2, 2012 before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). On May 16, 2012, the Company received notice of decision from FINRA that the Company’s securities are not eligible for continued quotation on the OTC BB and would be promptly removed from the OTC BB. The Company believes that while it is seeking a long term solution to enhanced stockholder liquidity, its common stock will continue to be traded in other over the counter markets under its same ticker symbol (MNDL or MNDLE), such as the OTC Market's OTC QB (accessed through www.otcmarkets.com, but not incorporated by reference herein). Although there are no guarantees of success, the Company is actively pursuing appropriate steps to ensure the long term liquidity of the Company's common stock, including seeking listing on a national securities exchange.
