PREMIER EXHIBITIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Background and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Premier Exhibitions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Premier”) are in the business of presenting to the public museum-quality touring exhibitions around the world. Since our establishment, we have developed, deployed and operated unique exhibition products that are presented to the public in exhibition centers, museums and non-traditional venues. Income from exhibitions is generated primarily through ticket sales, third-party licensing, sponsorships and merchandise sales.

Titanic Ventures Limited Partnership (“TVLP”), a Connecticut limited partnership, was formed in 1987 for the purpose of exploring the wreck of the Titanic and its surrounding oceanic areas. In May of 1993, R.M.S. Titanic, Inc. (“RMST”) entered into a reverse merger under which RMST acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of TVLP and TVLP became a shareholder of RMST. In October of 2004, we reorganized and Premier Exhibitions, Inc. became the parent company of RMST and RMST became a wholly-owned subsidiary. Additional wholly-owned subsidiaries were established in order to operate the various domestic and international exhibitions of the Company.

Our exhibitions regularly tour outside the United States of America (“U.S.”). Approximately 15% of our revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2014 compared with 7% for the three months ended November 30, 2013 resulted from exhibition activities outside the U.S. Approximately 13% of our revenues for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 compared with 7% for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 resulted from exhibition activities outside the U.S. Many of our financial arrangements with our international trade partners are based upon the U.S. dollar which limits the Company’s exposure to the risk of currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries in which our exhibitions are touring.

Corporate Structure

Our business has been divided into an exhibition management division and a content division. The content division is the Company’s subsidiary, RMST, which holds all of the Company’s rights with respect to the Titanic assets and is the salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck site. These assets include title to all of the recovered artifacts in the Company’s possession, in addition to all of the intellectual property (data, video, photos, maps, etc.) related to the recovery of the artifacts and scientific study of the ship.

We also formed a new entity, Premier Exhibition Management LLC (“PEM”), in September 2011, to manage all of the Company’s exhibition operations (exhibition division). This includes the operation and management of our Bodies, Titanic, Pirates and Pompeii exhibitions. PEM also pursues “fee for service” arrangements to manage exhibitions based on content owned or controlled by third parties.

On April 20, 2012, Premier Exhibition Management LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, PEM Newco, LLC (“Newco”), both subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a purchase agreement with AEG Live LLC, AEG Exhibitions LLC, and Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC pursuant to which Newco purchased substantially all of the assets of Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC (“AEI”). The assets purchased include the rights and tangible assets relating to four touring exhibitions known as “King Tut II,” “Cleopatra,” “America I Am” and “Real Pirates.” Of these four exhibitions, the Company is currently touring only “Real Pirates.” The acquired assets include rights agreements with the owners of the artifacts and intellectual property comprising the exhibitions, museum/venue agreements for existing exhibition venues, sponsorship agreements, a warehouse lease and an office lease. In addition, the acquired assets include intellectual property related to proposed future exhibitions that the Company may further develop and produce including the exhibit “One Day in Pompeii”, which is currently being toured by the Company. The Company will operate any such additional properties through its exhibition management subsidiary. Subsequent to the asset purchase, Newco changed its name to Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC.

On July 12, 2012, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Exhibit Merchandising, LLC for $125 thousand. As part of the acquisition of the assets of Exhibit Merchandising, LLC, we obtained the rights to sell all merchandise related to “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs”, “Cleopatra: The Exhibition” and “Real Pirates”. These merchandising rights are operated under our Premier Merchandising, LLC subsidiary.

The restructuring of the Company and changes in its management, reflect that Premier has two operating segments – Exhibition Operations (PEM) and Content Management (RMST).

Basis of Presentation

When we use the terms “Premier,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we mean Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation and its subsidiaries. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and unaudited notes to condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition as of November 30, 2014, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013. The data in the consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2014 was derived from our audited consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2014, as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Premier and its subsidiaries after the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Our operating results for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending February 28, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”).

Significant Accounting Policies

For a description of significant accounting policies, see the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote to the Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the filing of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists in Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11)

In July of 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward Exists,” which requires tax benefits to be presented in the financial statement as a reduction to deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward. The Company adopted the guidance effective March 1, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or our disclosures.

Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity Update 2014-08 (ASU 2014-08)

In April of 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 that changes the criteria and requires expanded disclosures for reporting discontinued operations. This accounting update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the guidance effective March 1, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or our disclosures.

Recently Issued

Revenue from Contracts with Customers Update 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09)

In May of 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 that affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance.

The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The provisions of the guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

Preparation of Financial Statements - Going Concern Update 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15)

In August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity's liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity's liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements--Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity's liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

Income/(Loss) Per Share Data

Basic per share amounts exclude dilution and are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential reduction in earnings per share that could occur if equity based awards were exercised or converted into common stock, unless the effects are anti-dilutive (i.e., the exercise price is greater than the average market price of the common shares). Potential common shares are determined using the treasury stock method and include common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share.

Notes and Royalty Payable

Orlando Note Payable

On October 17, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase the assets of a Titanic-themed exhibition (Titanic: The Experience or “TTE”) in Orlando, Florida from Worldwide Licensing & Merchandising, Inc. and its shareholder, G. Michael Harris (together, “Worldwide”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company purchased the assets of the Orlando exhibition from Worldwide in an installment sale. The Company agreed to pay Worldwide directly a total of $800 thousand over a two-year period, and also agreed to assume rental and other arrearages owed by Worldwide, totaling $720 thousand, which the Company will pay over a four-year period. Based upon an interest rate of 7.6% the net present value of these payments was approximately $1,377 thousand as of the date of the transaction.

As of November 30, 2014, the short-term portion of the note payable was $0 and the long-term portion was $186 thousand. The long-term portion currently payable relates to rental and other arrearages payable on behalf of Worldwide.

AEG Live, LLC Royalty Payable

On April 20, 2012, PEM and PEM Newco, LLC, both subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a purchase agreement with AEG Live LLC, AEG Exhibitions LLC, and Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC pursuant to which Newco purchased substantially all of the assets of AEI. The assets purchased include the rights and tangible assets relating to four touring exhibitions known as “King Tut II,” “Cleopatra,” “America I Am” and “Real Pirates.” Of these four exhibitions, the Company is currently touring only “Real Pirates.” The Company issued a non-recourse non-interest bearing note as part of this transaction. The book value of the note was recorded based upon the expected future cash flows of the exhibitions and discounted to its net present value at an imputed interest rate of 7%.

In March 2014, the Company paid $300 thousand and purchased the tangible assets that were required to be returned to AEG Live, LLC at the end of the purchase agreement.

On April 17, 2014, PEM and AEG terminated the Promissory Note. As part of the termination of the Promissory Note, PEM and AEG entered into a Revenue Payment Agreement providing for modified future payments to AEG with respect to bookings of acquired exhibitions. Pursuant to the Revenue Payment Agreement, going forward PEM will make royalty payments to AEG equal to (a) 90% of net revenues from future bookings and (b) 20% of the net revenues from proposed exhibitions acquired from AEG that are ultimately developed and presented. “Net Revenues” are determined after deduction by PEM of the direct expenses of operating the exhibitions. Pursuant to the Revenue Payment Agreement, AEG will pay to PEM a management fee of 10% of gross revenues (after deducting any booking fees) for each calendar year thereafter; provided that the management fee shall not be less than the following minimum fees: $500,000 in calendar year 2014; and $125,000 in calendar years 2015 and 2016.

We considered the accounting guidance in ASC 805, 405, and 470 when evaluating the accounting for the note cancellation and execution of the revenue payment agreement. We note that there was no substantive modification of the obligations under the Note that were made in connection with the cancellation of the Note and the execution of the revenue payment agreement. Accordingly, we do not believe the note was settled and therefore the royalty obligation will continue to be remeasured each period until it is ultimately settled.

Beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2015, revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities related to these exhibitions are recorded on a gross reporting basis in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since we are now the primary obligor under these agreements, are fulfilling the customer agreements with assets that the Company has all rights and title to, rather than acting in a management capacity as it was prior to the amendment, have latitude to determine pricing and retain future profits from the arrangement with customers, and retain the credit risk with customers. The majority of the assets and liabilities added as a result of this change are restricted cash, accounts receivable, and deferred revenue.

As of November 30, 2014, the short-term portion of the royalty payable was $180 thousand and the long-term portion was $856 thousand.

Pentwater Notes Payable

On September 30, 2014, Premier Exhibitions, Inc. entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee with each of two affiliates of Pentwater Capital Management LP. Together the Notes provide for a loan to the Company in the aggregate amount of $8.0 million. The Notes provide for the payment by the Company of interest on a monthly basis at the rate of 12.0% per annum, and the Notes mature on March 31, 2015. The Notes required the Company to pay a closing fee to the Pentwater affiliates in the aggregate amount of 3% of the loan amount and the fees and expenses incurred by the Pentwater affiliates in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Notes. Deferred financing cost related to this loan totaled $383 thousand

The Notes include customary events of default, and also include events of default relating to the preservation of the Titanic assets and maintaining Samuel S. Weiser as an employee of the Company. The Notes also require the Company to maintain minimum unrestricted liquidity of $2.0 million. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Company must pay default interest at the base rate plus 3%, and the Pentwater affiliates may declare all amounts outstanding under the Notes to be immediately due and payable. These amounts are included in deferred financing costs on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company.

The Company may prepay the Notes at any time, at 102% of the face amount during the first three months of the term and 100% of the face amount during the second three months of the term. The Company must prepay the note at 102% of the face amount upon a change of control, which would occur upon a change in ownership of 35% of the outstanding shares of the Company or any transfer of any shares of RMS Titanic, Inc.

The Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, including the stock of each of the subsidiary guarantors. The security interest does not apply to the Titanic assets held by RMS Titanic, Inc., but applies to all revenues, contracts and agreements lawfully arising out of the Titanic assets.

The lenders’ exercise of rights and remedies with respect to the stock of RMS Titanic, Inc. and any revenues, contracts and agreements lawfully arising out of the Titanic assets are expressly governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable court orders governing the ownership of the Titanic assets by RMS Titanic, Inc., which include (i) the Opinion issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia with respect to Action No. 2:93cv902, dated as of August 12, 2010; (ii) the Order issued by the United State District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia with respect to Action No. 2:93cv902, dated as of August 15, 2011; (iii) the Revised Covenants and Conditions for the Future Disposition of Objects Recovered from the R.M.S. Titanic by RMS Titanic, Inc. pursuant to an in-specie salvage award granted by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, dated as of August 15, 2011; and (iv) the Process Verbal, issued on October 12, 1993 by the Maritime Affairs Administrator for the Ministry of Equipment Transportation and Tourism, French Republic to Titanic Ventures Limited Partnership.

As of November 30, 2014, the short-term portion of the notes payable was $8.0 million.

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

Status of Salvor-in-Possession and Interim Salvage Award Proceedings

The Company has been party to a salvage case titled RMS Titanic, Inc. v. The Wrecked and Abandoned Vessel, et al., in rem for nearly 20 years. The Company has served as sole salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck site since 1994. On August 12, 2010, the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “District Court”) issued an opinion granting a salvage award to RMST based upon the Company’s work in recovering and conserving over three thousand artifacts from the wreck of Titanic during its expeditions conducted in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2004 (the “Post 1987 Artifacts”). The Company was awarded 100 percent of the fair market value of the artifacts, which the District Court set at approximately $110 million. The District Court reserved the right to determine whether to pay the Company a cash award from proceeds derived from a judicial sale, or in the alternative, to issue the Company an in-specie award of title to the artifacts with certain covenants and conditions which would govern their maintenance and future disposition.

On August 15, 2011, the District Court granted an in-specie award of title to the artifacts to RMST for the Post 1987 Artifacts. Title to the Post 1987 Artifacts comes with certain covenants and conditions drafted and negotiated by the Company and the United States government. These covenants and conditions govern the maintenance and future disposition of the artifacts. These covenants and conditions include the following:

The approximately 2,000 “1987 Artifacts" and the approximately 3,500 "Post 1987 Artifacts" must be maintained as a single collection;

The combined collections can only be sold together, in their entirety, and any buyer of the assets would be subject to the same conditions applicable to RMST and the purchase subject to court approval; and

RMST must comply with provisions that guarantee the long-term protection of all of the artifacts. These provisions include the creation by RMST of a reserve fund (the “Reserve Fund”). The Reserve Fund is irrevocably pledged to and held for the exclusive purpose of providing a performance guarantee for the maintenance and preservation of the Titanic collection for the public interest. The Company will pay into the Reserve Fund a minimum of twenty five thousand dollars ($25 thousand) for each future fiscal quarter until the corpus of such Reserve Fund equals five million dollars ($5 million). Though not required under the covenants and conditions, the Company may make additional payments into the Reserve Fund as it deems appropriate, consistent with its prior representations to the Court and sound fiscal operations. The Company established the Reserve Fund and funded it with $25 thousand during November 2011 and continues to fund it with quarterly $25 thousand payments. The balance in the Reserve Fund as of November 30, 2014 is $333 thousand, including interest income.

During these proceedings, on July 2, 2004, the District Court also rendered an opinion and order in which it held that it would not recognize a 1993 Proces-Verbal, pursuant to which the government of France granted RMST title to all artifacts recovered from the wreck site during the 1987 expedition (the “1987 Artifacts”). RMST appealed the July 2, 2004 District Court order to the Appellate Court. On January 31, 2006, the Appellate Court reversed the lower court’s decision to invalidate the 1993 Proces-Verbal, pursuant to which the government of France granted RMST title to all artifacts recovered from the wreck site during the 1987 expedition. As a result, the Appellate Court tacitly reconfirmed that RMST owns the approximately 2,000 artifacts recovered during the 1987 expedition. These artifacts were not part of the August 2011 award, but are now subject to certain of the covenants and conditions agreed to by the Company.

Status of International Treaty Concerning the Titanic Wreck

The U.S. Department of State (the “State Department”) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce (“NOAA”) are working together to implement an international treaty (the “Treaty”) with the governments of the United Kingdom, France and Canada concerning the Titanic wreck site. If implemented in this country, this treaty could affect the way the District Court monitors our salvor-in-possession rights to the Titanic. These rights include the exclusive right to recover artifacts from the wreck site, claim possession of and perhaps title to artifacts recovered from the site, and display recovered artifacts. Years ago we raised objections to the State Department regarding the participation of the U.S. in efforts to reach an agreement governing salvage activities with respect to the Titanic. The proposed Treaty, as drafted, did not recognize our existing salvor-in-possession rights to the Titanic. The United Kingdom signed the Treaty in November 2003, and the U.S. signed the Treaty in June 2004. For the Treaty to take effect, the U.S. must enact implementing legislation. As no implementing legislation has been passed, the Treaty currently has no binding legal effect.

In August 2011, the State Department and NOAA resubmitted draft legislation to Congress. Since that time, RMST has worked with the U.S. government to develop a number of textual modifications to this proposed implementing legislation to address the Company’s concerns. The proposed legislation has not passed and for now the legislation process has stalled.

Other Litigation

On February 14, 2014, SeaVentures, LTD. filed suit against the Company in the Circuit Court for the Ninth Judicial District in Orange County, Florida. The suit alleges that the Company breached a contract with SeaVentures under which we were required to present one or more Titanic exhibitions jointly presenting Titanic artifacts and artifacts recovered from the RMS Carpathia which are owned by SeaVentures, LTD. SeaVentures seeks $743 thousand plus interest and costs. The case is now in discovery and the outcome of the case is not readily determinable at this time.

On December 17, 2014, the Company filed suit against James Beckmann and his company, Image Quest Worldwide, Inc. in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The suit alleges that Image Quest Worldwide breached its July 19, 2010, sublease with the Company with respect to certain space at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. As an inducement to Premier to execute the sublease, James Beckman, the principal of Image Quest Worldwide, Inc., signed a personal guarantee which is enforceable if Image Quest failed to satisfy its obligations under the Sublease. The suit alleges that Image Quest failed to pay over $1.4 million in payments required under the Sublease. The Company cannot currently determine whether Image Quest Worldwide, Inc. or Mr. Beckman have sufficient funds to pay some or all of the outstanding debt, and the outcome of the case is not readily determinable at this time.

From time to time the Company is or may become involved in other legal proceedings that result from the operation of its exhibitions and business.

Settled Litigation

In April 2011, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Serge Grimaux and his companies, including Serge Grimaux Presents, Inc. and 9104-5773 Quebec, Inc. The suit alleges that Grimeaux failed to pay over $800 thousand due and owing the Company under a series of license agreements pursuant to which Mr. Grimaux and his entities presented the Company’s Titanic and human anatomy exhibitions in venues throughout Canada. The Company settled this litigation on November 10, 2011 for $375 thousand. As of November 30, 2014, a receivable of $22 thousand, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $199 thousand, is included in the Company’s accounts receivable.

On August 5, 2011, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Gunther Von Hagens and his company, Plastination Company, Inc. The suit alleged that Von Hagens and Plastination breached a settlement agreement with the Company, tortiously interfered with the Company’s business, conspired against the Company and engaged in unfair competition practices. These claims related to information Von Hagens and Plastination provided to ABC News and other third-parties about the origin of the human anatomy specimens licensed by the Company and used in its human anatomy exhibitions. The Company sued for unspecified damages. On April 23, 2013, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement under which the lawsuit has been dismissed. The proceeds related to this settlement were received in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and is reflected in the nine months ended November 30, 2013 consolidated statement of operations.

On February 26, 2013, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division against Thomas Zaller and his companies, Imagine Exhibitions, Inc. and Imagine Exhibitions, PTE, LTD. Mr. Zaller is a former executive of the Company. The suit alleges that Mr. Zaller and his companies fraudulently obtained certain of the Company’s confidential and proprietary intellectual property related to the design of its Titanic exhibitions. The Company claims that Mr. Zaller and his companies unlawfully used such property in the development of their own competing Titanic exhibition which was presented last year at the Venetian Macau, and which has been marketed around the world. In the suit, the Company made claims against Mr. Zaller personally for conversion, breach of contract, and misappropriation of trade secrets under Georgia law. The Company made claims against Mr. Zaller and his companies for unjust enrichment, fraud, fraudulent inducement, and trade dress violations under the Lanham Act. The Company sued for unspecified damages.

On April 22, 2013, Kingsmen Exhibits PTE, LTD. filed suit against the Company in the High Court of the Republic of Singapore. This suit followed extensive correspondence between the Company and the Kingsmen companies regarding the allegations of wrongdoing by the Kingsmen companies, along with their partners Thomas Zaller and his companies. Kingsmen sought a judgment declaring that they did not violate the Singapore Copyright Act and the Singapore Trademark Act and prohibiting the Company from continuing to make claims that Kingsmen infringed the Company’s copyrights and trademarks. Kingsmen also sought unspecified damages from the Company related to actions taken by the Company to protect its confidential and proprietary intellectual property. On December 18, 2013, the Company filed a counterclaim against Kingsmen Exhibits PTE, LTD. in this lawsuit. In the counterclaim, the Company alleged that Kingsmen unlawfully competed against the Company in the development and operation of its competing Titanic exhibition. Specifically, the Company alleged that Kingsmen infringed on its copyrights by unlawfully obtaining and using the Company’s design files to build its exhibitions. The Company sought to enjoin Kingsmen from continuing to infringe on its rights, and for unspecified damages related to the infringement.

On December 2, 2014 the Company entered into a Full and General Mutual Release Settlement and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Thomas Zaller, Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., Imagine Exhibitions PTE, LTD., and TZ, Inc., (collectively the “Zaller Parties”), and Kingsmen Exhibits PTE, LTD and Kingsmen Creative, LTD (collectively the “Kingsmen Parties”). The Agreement settled the litigation between the Company and the Zaller Parties in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, and between the Company and the Kingsmen Parties in the High Court of the Republic of Singapore.

The Agreement required the Zaller Parties to collectively pay the Company $725 thousand on or before December 4, 2014. The Agreement stipulates that the Zaller Parties and the Kingsmen Parties deny any admission of fault or liability to the Company. Under the Agreement, the Zaller Parties and Kingsmen Parties also agree not to stage a Titanic exhibition in the United States or Canada for a period of thirty six months or in Western Europe (defined as the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark and Norway) for a period of twenty four months. Each of the parties to the Agreement executed mutual general releases.

Revenue and Sales and Use Tax Examinations

As of November 30, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s federal tax returns for the fiscal years ended February 28 (29), 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007, with no significant adjustments required. The tax years February 28 (29), 2011-2014 remain open to IRS examination. In addition to the review by the IRS, the Company is, at times, under review by various state revenue authorities.

As of May 8, 2014, the State of New York has completed its most recent examination of the Company’s sales and use tax returns for all periods through May 31, 2012. The State of New York has assessed additional sales and use tax of approximately $374 thousand, including interest of $93 thousand, of which $37 thousand is accrued in the Company’s financial statements as of November 30, 2014. The Company is appealing the remaining balance assessed by the State of New York as it relates to license payments for our Bodies exhibitions. The Company’s position is that it is not liable to pay these taxes.

The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses and that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments - Exhibition Management and RMS Titanic. The Exhibition Management segment involves the management of all of the Company’s exhibition operations, including the operation and management of Premier’s Bodies, Titanic (through an inter-company agreement with RMST), Pompeii, Semmel’s King Tut, and Extreme Dinosaurs exhibitions as well as the operation and management of the AEI property known as “Real Pirates.” The exhibition management division also includes our exhibition merchandising business, conducted under the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Merchandising, LLC. The RMS Titanic segment manages the Company’s rights to the Titanic assets, including title to all of the recovered artifacts in the Company’s possession and all of the intellectual property (video, photos, maps, etc.) related to the recovery of the artifacts and research of the ship. In addition, the RMS Titanic segment manages the Company’s responsibilities as salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck site.

Revenue derived from exhibitions presented outside of the U.S. was $1.0 million and $461 thousand for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $2.8 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company’s foreign exhibitions are all touring. As such, the concentration of foreign income in any period is fluid and changes as exhibitions are moved, normally every four to six months.

All reported revenues were derived from external customers, with the exception of $280 thousand and $907 thousand reported for the RMS Titanic segment for the three months and nine months ended November 30, 2014, respectively and $334 thousand and $1.5 million for the three months and nine months ended November 30, 2013, respectively. This revenue represents a royalty fee paid by the Exhibition Management segment for the use of Titanic assets in its exhibits, and is reflected as a corresponding cost of revenue in the Exhibition Management segment. Revenue earned and expenses charged between segments are eliminated in consolidation.

Certain corporate expenses are allocated based on intercompany agreements between PRXI, PEM and RMST for shared services.

Consignment agreement and RMS Titanic Sale

The Company was party to a Consignment Agreement with Guernsey's auction house to sell the Company's Titanic artifacts and related intellectual property. If and when a transaction is closed, the Company would be required to pay Guernsey's a fee of up to 8% of the sale price if a purchase agreement is entered into within 60 days of the auction deadline, and up to 4% of the sale price if a purchase agreement was entered into thereafter. The actual amount of the commission would have depended on the sale price, identity of the purchasing party and the date when the sale was closed. The obligation to pay a fee to Guernsey’s for a Titanic artifact sale has ended pursuant to the terms of the agreement. In addition, if a transaction to sell the Titanic artifact collection was closed, the Company may have been required to pay a Transaction Bonus to Christopher Davino, former President of RMS Titanic, Inc., dependent upon the sale price, identity of the purchasing party and the date when the sale is closed. The obligation to pay a transaction bonus to Mr. Davino has ended. In addition, the Company expects to incur other legal, accounting and investment banking expenses if and when a sale of the Titanic artifacts is completed. Prepaid fees related to the auction and professional fees related to the sale to the Consortium totaled $666 thousand and were written-off in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

The Company’s Board has authorized management to pursue other strategic alternatives. The Board is working to evaluate all options available to maximize shareholder value. The Company has retained JP Morgan Securities as its advisor to assist the Board in evaluating other strategic alternatives. There is no guarantee that a transaction or series of transactions will result from this process.

Commitment and Contingencies

417 Fifth Avenue - New York City, New York

On April 9, 2014, the Company entered into a 130-month lease agreement for exhibition and retail space with 417 Fifth Avenue Real Estate, LLC in New York City, New York. This lease includes approximately 51,000 square feet of space at 417 Fifth Avenue between 37^th and 38^th streets in the Grand Central district and is near Bryant Park, the Empire State Building and only a few blocks east of Times Square. The Company has signed an Exhibit Promoter Agreement to present Saturday Night Live: The Experience which will open in our New York City location. Specific information about the other exhibition that will be opening in the space will be released at a later date. In the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2015, we purchased an $800 thousand certificate of deposit and pledged it as collateral for this lease. An additional $900 thousand in collateral is due in the first fiscal quarter of 2016. The lease commenced in July 2014 and we anticipate the Company will begin presenting exhibitions in the leased space during the fiscal first quarter of 2016. Total future minimum payments under this lease are approximately $45.8 million.

On November 24, 2014, Premier Exhibitions, Inc., entered into a First Amendment to Lease to modify its lease of the exhibition space at 417 5^th Avenue in New York City.

Pursuant to the lease amendment, the Company will complete the “initial work” as more fully defined in the lease to generally include the build out of the space for the Company’s exhibitions. The original lease provided that the Landlord would manage construction of the space and would deliver the premises ready for the installation of the Company’s exhibitions.

The lease amendment also requires that the Company deposit with the landlord an initial capital funding contribution equal to the difference between the estimated cost of the initial work and the amount funded by the landlord pursuant to the Lease and amortized as additional rent. The landlord will release the funds to pay for the initial work following submission of funding requests by the Company. This amount totals $7.4 million and is included in lease incentive and deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company. The initial capital funding contribution paid by the Company of $3.4 million is included on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as a construction deposit.

The Lease Amendment further includes a waiver by landlord and Company of certain delays which occurred prior to the date of the lease amendment, and sets the commencement date and rent commencement date of the Lease.

Third Amendment to Atlanta, Georgia Lease Agreement

On November 18, 2014, the Company entered into a third amendment to the lease for its exhibition space in Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Georgia. This space is used for our “Bodies…The Exhibition”. The third amendment reduces the Company’s gross leasable area to 11,770 square feet. The lease term is for an additional 24 months from February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2017. The minimum annual rent is $180 thousand.

New Exhibitions

Saturday Night Live

On October 13, 2014, Premier Exhibition Management, LLC, a subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions, Inc., entered into an Exhibit Promoter Agreement with Broadway Video Entertainment, Inc. (“BV”) to produce an exhibition based on the television show “Saturday Night Live.” The term of the Agreement is five (5) years from the opening date of the exhibition.

The exhibition will feature the characters, stories, programs, cast and creators of Saturday Night Live and will be presented at the Company’s new venue in New York City. The Company is required to open the exhibit by June 1, 2015, subject to certain rights to cure any delay.

Pursuant to the Exhibit Promoter Agreement, the Company will produce and present the exhibition and will operate a merchandise store for exhibition related products. The production costs will be funded by the Company. BV will be paid a license fee of ten percent (10%) of gross revenues after deduction of sales tax, credit card and check verification fees, refunds, and returns (“Adjusted Gross Revenue”) earned by the Company from any source related to the Exhibition (including ticket sales, merchandise, and audio tour) on the first $10 million of Adjusted Gross Revenue; twelve and one half percent (12.5%) of Adjusted Gross Revenue greater than $10 million and up to $20 million and fifteen percent (15%) on Adjusted Gross Revenue over $20 million during the Term (the “License Fee”). BV will be entitled to an advance of the License Fee in the amount of $1 million total, with $250 thousand paid on November 1, 2014, $250 thousand paid on December 31, 2014, $250 thousand to be paid by June 15, 2015, and $250 thousand to be paid December 31, 2015. This advance will be recouped by the Company from the License Fee payable to BV. Any sponsorship revenue related to the exhibit will be paid 50% to the Company and 50% to BV, after deduction for expenses of fulfillment. The $250 thousand paid as of November 30, 2014 is included in prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company.

Ice Age

On November 4, 2014, Premier Exhibition Management, LLC, a subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions, Inc., entered into a License with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising, a division of Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., as administrator for Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (“FOX”) to produce one (1) exhibition based on the Ice Age series of films. The initial term of the Agreement is five (5) years from the opening date of the first exhibition. The Company has one (1) five (5) year option to renew the term which is subject to the Company’s full compliance with its obligations under the agreement.

The exhibition will feature the artwork, characters, stories, and creative elements of the following four (4) theatrical motion pictures: “ICE AGE,” “ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN,” “ICE AGE: DAWN OF DINOSAURS,” and “ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT.” The Company will present the exhibition at museums, science centers and exhibition centers throughout the world. The Company is required to open the exhibit by March 31, 2016, and FOX has the right to terminate the agreement if the first exhibit is not opened by that date.

Pursuant to the Exhibition License Agreement, the Company will produce and present the exhibition and will operate a merchandise store for exhibition related products. The production costs will be funded by the Company. The exhibit has a minimum production budget of $3 million.

FOX will be paid a non-refundable guarantee of $2 million paid as follows: an advance totaling $750 thousand, $250 thousand of which was previously paid, and $500 thousand which was paid upon the mutual execution of the agreement; $450 thousand payable on or before March 31, 2018; $400 thousand payable on or before March 31, 2019; and $400 thousand payable on or before March 31, 2020. The Company will also pay FOX ten (10%) percent royalties on gross ticket and merchandise sales, after deduction of taxes, credit card processing fees, and customer returns (the “Royalty”). Fox will also receive thirty percent (30%) of sponsorship revenue after expenses of fulfillment if FOX initiates the sponsorship, or twenty percent (20%) of the sponsorship revenue after expenses of fulfillment if the Company initiates the sponsorship. The $750 thousand paid as of November 30, 2014 is included in prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company.

The non-refundable guarantee will be recoupable by the Company from the Royalty payable to FOX according to the following schedule: $400 thousand of the advance shall be recoupable against the Royalty earned for the period of time between November 4, 2014 and the earlier of one year after the exhibition opens to the public or March 31, 2017. The remaining $350 thousand of the advance shall be recoupable against the Royalty earned during the period between the date one year after the date the exhibition opens to the public (and in any event no later than March 30, 2017) and the date two years after the date the exhibit opens to the public (and in any event no later than March 30, 2018). Thereafter, each payment of the non-refundable guarantee shall be recoupable against the Royalty earned during the twelve month period immediately following the payment due date of such non-recoupable guarantee.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s operations in the recent past have been financed primarily through cash flow from operations and existing cash. The Company has incurred net losses for the majority of the past several years. Moving forward, the Company expects to have significant cash outflows in the near term based on the New York City lease, leasehold improvements of the leased space and new content development.

On September 30, 2014, Premier Exhibitions, Inc. entered into a short-term Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee with each of two affiliates of Pentwater Capital Management LP. Together the Notes provide for a loan to the Company in the aggregate amount of $8.0 million. The Notes provide for the payment by the Company of interest on a monthly basis at the rate of 12% per annum, and the Notes mature and must be paid in full on March 31, 2015.

The Notes are guaranteed by each of RMS Titanic, Inc., Premier Exhibition Management LLC, Arts and Exhibitions International LLC, and Premier Merchandising, LLC, all of which are subsidiaries of the Company. The Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, including the stock of each of the subsidiary guarantors. The security interest does not apply to the Titanic assets held by RMS Titanic, Inc., but applies to all revenues, contracts and agreements lawfully arising out of the Titanic assets.

The proceeds from these Notes are being used to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the New York City lease and proposed new content agreements.

Because the Notes mature and must be paid in full on March 31, 2015, the Company must obtain replacement financing for the Notes or negotiate an extension or forbearance with the Pentwater affiliates by that date. The Company is currently considering a number of potential transactions that would provide replacement capital for the Company, including a financing transaction with one or more potential strategic partners, a private placement of equity securities, and a private placement of convertible promissory notes, including potentially to some of the Company’s existing shareholders.

If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining replacement capital to repay the Notes, the Company may be unable to meet its obligations in the future and the Company's liquidity may be impaired. In addition to obtaining replacement capital, based on our recurring losses, financial obligations and working capital levels, the Company will also need to raise additional funds to finance its operations and new content opportunities in the near future. If the Company is unable to obtain this additional capital, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

Under the terms of the Notes, the exercise of rights and remedies by the Pentwater affiliates with respect to the stock of RMS Titanic, Inc. and any revenues, contracts and agreements lawfully arising out of the Titanic assets are expressly governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable court orders governing the ownership of the Titanic assets by RMS Titanic, Inc. However, if the Company is unable to replace or extend the Notes by the maturity date of March 31, 2015, the lenders will have the right to exercise lender’s rights and remedies against the collateral, including the stock of RMS Titanic, Inc., which owns and control the Company’s Titanic assets. The lenders may then be able to sell the Titanic assets to third parties, subject to the above court orders, potentially at prices below the level at which the Company would agree to sell such assets. Any such sale of the Titanic assets could yield little or no proceeds for the Company’s shareholders, after the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to the lenders.

Any convertible note issuance or other equity-based financing by the Company to obtain replacement capital would be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may be available only on unattractive terms and may involve restrictive covenants, either of which could limit the Company’s ability to grow and expand its operations.

If our efforts to raise additional funds are unsuccessful, the Company will be required to delay, reduce or eliminate portions of our strategic plan and may be required to seek the protection of the U.S. bankruptcy laws and/or cease operating as a going concern. In addition, if the Company does not meet its payment obligations to third parties as they come due, the Company may be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding or other litigation claims. Even if the Company were successful in defending against these potential claims and proceedings, such claims and proceedings could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management, and may result in unfavorable results that could further adversely impact our financial condition.

If the Company makes a bankruptcy filing, is subject to an involuntary bankruptcy filing, or is otherwise unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may be required to liquidate its assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on its financial statements, and it is likely that shareholders will lose all or a part of their investments. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Subsequent events

Legal Proceedings

On December 2, 2014, RMS Titanic, Inc., a subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. entered into a Full and General Mutual Release Settlement and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Thomas Zaller, Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., a Georgia corporation, Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Imagine Exhibitions PTE, LTD., and TZ, Inc., (collectively the “Zaller Parties”), and Kingsmen Exhibits PTE, LTD and Kingsmen Creative, LTD (collectively the “Kingsmen Parties”). The Agreement settles litigation between the Company and the Zaller Parties in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, and between the Company and the Kingsmen Parties in the High Court of the Republic of Singapore.

The Agreement required Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., a Georgia corporation, Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Imagine Exhibitions PTE, LTD, and TZ, Inc. to collectively pay the Company $725 thousand on or before December 4, 2014. The Agreement stipulates that the Zaller Parties and the Kingsmen Parties deny any admission of fault or liability to the Company. Under the Agreement, the Zaller Parties and Kingsmen Parties also agree not to stage a Titanic exhibition in the United States or Canada for a period of thirty six months or in Western Europe (defined as the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark and Norway) for a period of twenty four months. Each of the parties to the Agreement executed mutual general releases. The Company is required to pay a portion of this settlement as legal fees. The payment was received in December 2014.

Reverse Stock Split

The Board of Directors has approved and is seeking shareholder approval of a resolution to authorize the Board, without further action of the shareholders, to amend our Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-10 at any time prior to April 30, 2015.

If this proposal is approved by our shareholders, the Board of Directors will have the authority, without further action on the part of the shareholders, to implement the reverse stock split at a 1-for-10 ratio by filing an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State, Corporations Division. For the reasons discussed below, we anticipate that the reverse stock split, if this proposal is approved by our shareholders, will be implemented as soon as practicable following the Annual Meeting but in no event no later than April 30, 2015. The Board has reserved the right to abandon the reverse stock split, even if approved by our shareholders, if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.

Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares, each shareholder will hold the same percentage of our common stock outstanding immediately after the reverse stock split as such shareholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split. The proposed reverse stock split will not affect the number of shares of common stock authorized in the Articles of Incorporation, which is 65,000,000. Because the number of shares of authorized common stock will not be affected, the effect of the proposed reverse stock split will be an increase in the authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock. These additional shares could be used by us in the future for various purposes without further shareholder approval (subject to applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules), including, among other things: (i) raising capital necessary to fund our future operations or to satisfy our indebtedness and other obligations, (ii) providing equity incentives to our employees, officers, directors and consultants, (iii) entering into collaborations and other strategic relationships and (iv) expanding our business through the acquisition of, or combination with, other businesses.

Corporate Structure and Management

On June 13, 2014, Samuel S. Weiser resigned from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Premier Exhibitions, Inc.

Also on June 13, 2014, the Company appointed Michael J. Little, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, to the additional position of Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.

On June 20, 2014, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”) between the Company and Samuel S. Weiser in connection with Mr. Weiser’s resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Weiser is currently a director of the Company, and will continue to serve in that capacity.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Weiser was entitled to a severance payment equal to one year of salary, payable two-thirds upon execution of the Agreement with the remainder payable in twelve equal monthly installments. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement Mr. Weiser’s existing equity grants, consisting of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units, vested in full to the extent they had not previously vested, and remain exercisable. Mr. Weiser was also entitled to receive twelve months of reimbursement for health insurance premiums of $2,775 per month and twelve months of office space currently leased by the Company in Chicago, Illinois. As consideration for the Severance Agreement, in addition to Mr. Weiser’s resignation, Mr. Weiser released the Company and its affiliates from all claims or suits in his favor and agreed not to participate in any proxy solicitation involving the Company for a period of six months. For twelve months from the date of his resignation, Mr. Weiser is also required to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in his employment agreement, which are incorporated into the Separation Agreement.

On August 28, 2014, the Board appointed Mr. Samuel S. Weiser as the Executive Chairman of the Company. Mr. Weiser is currently a director of the Company and will continue to serve in that capacity. For his biographical information and information regarding related party transactions, please see the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2014.

Mr. Weiser is paid a salary of $30,000 per month, and his remaining monthly severance payments under his Separation Agreement and Release with the Company, dated June 20, 2014, are suspended during his service as the Company’s Executive Chairman. With respect to medical and dental insurance coverage, during Mr. Weiser’s service as the Company’s Executive Chairman, he may elect to either continue to receive health care reimbursement payments under his Separation Agreement and Release with the Company and maintain private medical and dental insurance coverage at his own cost or obtain coverage under the Company’s medical and dental insurance plans paid by the Company, in each case subject to the requirements of applicable law and the terms of the Company’s health insurance plans. Mr. Weiser has waived all compensation as a member of the Board during his service as Executive Chairman.

On August 25, 2014, William M. Adams, Ronald C. Bernard, and Bruce Steinberg resigned as directors of the Company, effective immediately. On the same day, Jack H. Jacobs and Rick Kraniak were appointed to the Board of Directors and as members of the Audit Committee of the Board.

Following the foregoing changes to the composition of the Board, the Company’s Audit Committee consisted of two members. As a result, on August 29, 2014, the Company notified the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC that the Company was not in compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the audit committee of a listed company be composed of at least three independent directors. On October 13, 2014, Douglas Banker was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee, and the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).

Overview

Premier Exhibitions, Inc. and subsidiaries, (the “Company” or “Premier”) are in the business of presenting to the public museum-quality touring exhibitions around the world. Since our establishment, we have developed, deployed, and operated unique exhibition products that are presented to the public in exhibition centers, museums, and non-traditional venues. Income from exhibitions is generated primarily through ticket sales, third-party licensing, sponsorships and merchandise sales.

Titanic Ventures Limited Partnership (“TVLP”), a Connecticut limited partnership, was formed in 1987 for the purposes of exploring the wreck of the R.M.S. Titanic and its surrounding oceanic areas. In May of 1993, RMS Titanic, Inc. (“RMST”) entered into a reverse merger under which RMST acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of TVLP and TVLP became a shareholder of RMST. In October of 2004, we reorganized and Premier Exhibitions, Inc. became the parent company of RMST and RMST became a wholly-owned subsidiary. Additional wholly-owned subsidiaries were established in order to operate the various domestic and international exhibitions of the Company.

Our business has been divided into an exhibition management division and a content division. The content division is the Company’s subsidiary, RMST, which holds all of the Company’s rights with respect to the Titanic assets and is the salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck site. These assets include title to all of the recovered artifacts in the Company’s possession, as well as all of the intellectual property (data, video, photos, maps, etc.) related to the recovery of the artifacts and scientific study of the ship.

The exhibition management division includes our exhibition operations and merchandising operations. We formed the entity, Premier Exhibition Management LLC (“PEM”), in September 2011 to manage all of the Company’s exhibition operations. This currently includes the operation and management of our Bodies, Titanic, (pursuant to an intercompany agreement with RMST), Real Pirates and Pompeii exhibitions. PEM also pursues “fee for service” arrangements to manage exhibitions based on content owned or controlled by third parties. On April 20, 2012, Premier Exhibition Management LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, PEM Newco, LLC (“Newco”), both subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a purchase agreement with AEG Live LLC, AEG Exhibitions LLC, and Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC pursuant to which Newco purchased substantially all of the assets of Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC (“AEI”). The assets purchased include the rights and tangible assets relating to four touring exhibitions known as “King Tut II,” “Cleopatra,” “America I Am” and “Real Pirates.” Of these four exhibitions, the Company is currently touring only “Real Pirates.” The acquired assets include rights agreements with the owners of the artifacts and intellectual property comprising the exhibitions, museum/venue agreements for existing exhibition venues, sponsorship agreements, a warehouse lease and an office lease. In addition, the acquired assets include intellectual property related to proposed future exhibitions that the Company may further develop and produce including the exhibit “One Day in Pompeii,” which is currently being toured by the Company. The Company will operate any such additional properties through its exhibition management subsidiary. Subsequent to the asset purchase, Newco changed its name to Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC.

As part of the purchase price for the assets of AEI, 10% of the ownership interest in Premier Exhibition Management LLC was transferred to AEG Live LLC. This ownership interest is reported as a "non-controlling interest" in our financial statements, and the financials of Premier Exhibition Management LLC are reported on a consolidated basis.

The exhibition management division also includes our exhibition merchandising business, conducted under the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Merchandising, LLC. This entity has purchased the merchandise rights related to the AEI exhibition properties, and also pursues other exhibition merchandising opportunities.

The restructuring of the Company and changes in its management reflect that Premier has two operating segments – Exhibition Management and Content Management (RMS Titanic).

As of November 30, 2014, our portfolio of touring exhibitions contains the following:

	November 30, 2014
	Stationary		Touring		Total
Exhibitions owned or leased:
"Bodies…The Exhibition" and "Bodies Revealed"		3		4		7

"One Day in Pompeii"		-		1		1
"The Discovery of King Tut"		-		1		1
"Extreme Dinosaurs"		1		-		1
Total Exhibitions		7		13		20

Our touring exhibitions usually span four to six months. As of August 31, 2014, our stationary exhibitions, which are longer-term exhibitions, are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, Orlando, Florida, Buena Park, California and Atlanta, Georgia. Previously the Company had an additional stationary exhibition in New York City, New York which was closed in late October 2012 due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy and subsequent action by governmental authorities and the landlord. On April 9, 2014, the Company signed a lease to open a new location in New York City, New York.

In addition to developing new content for future exhibitions, the Company continually evaluates its touring capacity and may expand or contract to suit the addressable market for its content.

We first became known for our Titanic exhibitions which present the story of the ill-fated ocean liner, the R.M.S. Titanic (the “Titanic”). The Titanic has captivated the imaginations of millions of people throughout the world since 1912 when she struck an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic on her maiden voyage approximately 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. More than 1,500 of the 2,228 lives on board the Titanic were lost.

We own approximately 5,500 Titanic artifacts recovered from the wreck site 2½ miles below the ocean’s surface which we have the right to present at our exhibitions. In 1994, a federal district court declared us salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck and wreck site, and, as such, we have the exclusive right to recover additional objects from the Titanic wreck site. Through our explorations, we have obtained and are in possession of the largest collection of data, information, images and cultural materials associated with the Titanic shipwreck. We believe that our salvor-in-possession status puts us in the best position to provide for the archaeological, scientific and educational interpretation, public awareness, historical conservation and stewardship of the Titanic shipwreck. As of November 30, 2014, we had the ability to present eight concurrent Titanic exhibitions. Management continues to explore ways to expand the Titanic model beyond the exhibition business to broaden the Company's reach.

In 2004, we diversified our exhibitions beyond the Titanic and into human anatomy by acquiring licenses that give us rights to present exhibitions of human anatomy sets, each of which contains a collection of whole human body specimens plus single human organs and body parts. As of November 30, 2014, we had the ability to present seven concurrent human anatomy exhibitions.

During the past several years the Company has continued to diversify its exhibition content to expand beyond our Titanic and Bodies exhibitions.

Exhibitions

“Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and Titanic: The Experience”

By featuring the artifacts recovered from the wreck site, our exhibitions tell the Titanic’s story from construction through her sinking and discovery as well as the Company’s efforts to preserve the wreck site and conserve recovered artifacts. The artifacts are placed in historically correct re-creations of the significant rooms onboard the ship and are illuminated by moving stories of her passengers and crew. The Company has supplemented the exhibitions with assets generated during the 2010 Titanic expedition such as 3D exhibitry and film. The Company’s attendance to its Titanic exhibitions is over 23 million visitors at venues in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Australia. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, six separate Titanic exhibitions were presented at six venues.

Consistent with the Company’s desire to increase its number of permanent exhibitions, on October 17, 2011 the Company purchased the assets of a Titanic-themed exhibition (Titanic: The Experience or “TTE”) in Orlando, Florida. Through this acquisition, the Company now has a presence in the large Orlando tourist market. The Company has supplemented the acquired exhibitry with authentic Titanic artifacts from our existing collections and also by including assets generated during the 2010 Titanic expedition such as 3D exhibitry and film.

“Bodies...The Exhibition” and “Bodies Revealed”

We presently have the right to display multiple human anatomy sets, each of which contains a collection of whole human body specimens plus single human organs and body parts, which are known as “Bodies Revealed” and “Bodies...The Exhibition.” We secured the rights to produce these two types of human anatomy exhibitions through separate exhibition agreements. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, six separate Bodies exhibitions were presented at six venues.

These specimens are assembled into anatomy-based exhibitions featuring preserved human bodies, organs and body parts to offer the public an opportunity to view the intricacies and complexities of the human body. The exhibitions include displays of dissected human bodies which are permanently preserved through a process called polymer preservation, also known as plastination. In essence, the bodies are drained of all fat and fluids, which are replaced with polymers such as silicone rubber, epoxy and polyester. This preserves the flesh and maintains its natural look. Skin from the bodies is removed, or partially removed, to reveal musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory, and reproductive or digestive systems. The full body specimens are complimented by presentation cases of related individual organs and body parts, both healthy and diseased, that provide a detailed look into the elements that comprise each system of the body. Using more than 200 specimens, each exhibition follows a systems-based approach to human anatomy which examines the skeletal, muscular, nervous, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, urinary, integumentary (skin, sweat glands, hair, and nails), and reproductive systems.

Our full-body specimens and individual organs were obtained through plastination facilities mostly in China. The full body specimens are persons who lived in China and died from natural causes. Most of the bodies were unclaimed at death, and were ultimately delivered to medical schools for education and research. Where known, information about the identities, medical history and causes of death is kept strictly confidential. China has a large and highly competent group of anatomists and dissectors, who are essential to properly preparing these specimens for exhibition and educational purposes. In a number of cases, our medical director has been able to identify medical problems that were present in certain organs and, where appropriate, those organs were clearly labeled in the exhibitions. For example, an emphysema-diseased lung is displayed and identified, giving the visitors a visual understanding of the effects of the disease.

“Pompeii: One Day in Pompeii”

During the third fiscal quarter of 2014, the Company, in partnership with the Italian Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Naples and Pompeii (SANP), developed a new exhibition on the story of Pompeii that features over 150 authentic artifacts on loan from the Naples National Archaeological Museum. The exhibition will be presented through June 2015.

The exhibition offers visitors a rare look at some of the most valuable artifacts recovered from the debris of the city of Pompeii, many of which will be making their North American debut. The Pompeii exhibition will have a limited three-city tour and started at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on November 9, 2013. The opportunity to present this exhibition was acquired as part of the AEG Live, LLC transaction. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, we presented one Pompeii exhibit at one venue.

“Real Pirates”

Real Pirates tells the compelling story of the Whydah, the first authenticated pirate shipwreck in U.S. waters, and the stories of the diverse people whose lives converged on the vessel. Sunk in a fierce storm off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts in April 1717, the Whydah was located in 1984 by underwater explorer Barry Clifford.

The exhibition features more than 200 authentic items recovered from the Whydah – real treasure last touched by real pirates. Ranging from cannons and coins and from the massive ship’s bell to personal items that the pirates wore, visitors are given an unprecedented glimpse into unique economic, political and social circumstances of the early 18th-century Caribbean.

We obtained the right to manage this exhibition as part of the AEG Live, LLC transaction. Effective November 13, 2012, the Company signed a binding letter of intent with Barry Clifford to develop and present a second Real Pirates exhibition, which the Company began touring in March 2013. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, we presented two separate Pirates exhibitions at three venues.

“The Discovery of King Tut”

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Semmel Concerts GmbH, a German entity, to present an exhibition based on King Tutankhamun. The term of the Agreement is five (5) years from the opening date of the exhibition. The exhibition, titled The Discovery of King Tut, uses high quality artistic and scientific reproductions of artifacts found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun to recreate the moment of Howard Carter's discovery of the lost tomb. This exhibition opened at Union Station in Kansas City on April 4, 2014. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, we presented one King Tut exhibition at two venues.

“Extreme Dinosaurs”

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Dinosaurs Unearthed Corporation to present an animatronic exhibition based on dinosaurs. The term of the Agreement is approximately nine months from the opening date of the exhibition. The exhibition, titled Extreme Dinosaurs, features some of the newest dinosaur discoveries from the ‘Golden Age’ of paleontology, and explores why scientists believe these dinosaurs may have had such bizarre features like horns, plates, frills and feathers. Visitors will experience some of the world’s strangest dinosaurs showcased through life-size animatronic models, skeletons, real and replicated fossils, and more. This exhibition opened at Atlantic Station in Atlanta on March 29, 2014. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, we presented one Extreme Dinosaurs exhibition at one venue.

New Content

The Company continues to pursue new content opportunities. To mitigate the risk associated with building an exhibition and then attempting to book the exhibition after incurring the capital expenditure, the Company has begun optioning new content opportunities to assess market demand and evaluate the expected return on the investment based on that market assessment. The Company currently has three new projects in development. The Company has signed an Exhibit Promoter Agreement to present Saturday Night Live: The Experience will be presented in our New York City location. The Company has also signed an Exhibit Promoter Agreement to present an exhibition featuring characters from the Ice Age movie franchise licensed from 20^th Century Fox. The Company is in development of an exhibition featuring cases of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Titanic Expeditions

In August 1987, TVLP contracted with the Institute of France for the Research and Exploration of the Sea (“IFREMER”) to conduct an expedition and dive to the wreck of the Titanic. Approximately 2,000 objects were recovered and 140 hours of video tape footage and an estimated seven thousand still photographs were taken during the course of the 32 dives in that original expedition.

We completed additional expeditions to the wreck of the Titanic in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2004 recovering approximately 3,500 additional artifacts and additional video tape footage and still photographs. With the depth of the Titanic wreck approximately two and one-half miles below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean, our ability to conduct expeditions to the Titanic has been subject to the availability of necessary research and recovery vessels and equipment for chartering by us from June to September, which is the “open weather window” for such activities.

2010 Expedition to Titanic Wreck Site

During August and September 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary RMST, as salvor-in-possession of the RMS Titanic (the “Titanic”) and its wreck site, conducted an expedition to the Titanic wreck site. RMST brought together an alliance of the world’s leading archaeologists, oceanographers and scientists together with U.S. governmental agencies to join RMST in the 2010 expedition to the wreck site and the post-expedition scientific study. This alliance included the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (“WHOI”), the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (“INA”), the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s Office of the National Marine Sanctuaries (“NOAA/ONMS”), The National Park Service’s Submerged Resources Center (“NPS”) and the Waitt Institute. Never before had all of these entities partnered to work together on one project. While all of these parties worked together to participate in the expedition, RMST has sole legal ownership of the film footage, data, and other assets generated from the expedition.

While the general purpose of the expedition was to collect and interpret archeological and scientific data utilizing state-of-the-art high definition 2D and 3D cameras and sonar scanning equipment, the Company also planned and executed the expedition in order to create digital assets for commercial purposes, including a 2D documentary that was aired by a major cable network in April 2012, a separate HD3D film featuring a tour of the bow and stern sections of the ship that is now being distributed, and assets to be utilized in enhancing the Titanic exhibitions, as well as other applications. The collected data will also provide the basis for an archaeological site plan, and ultimately a long-term management plan for the Titanic wreck site.

Titanic Artifact Appraisal

On October 14, 2014, RMS Titanic, Inc., a division of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. announced that the only collection of artifacts ever recovered from the wreck of the RMS TITANIC has been appraised at over $218 million.

For nearly twenty years, RMS Titanic, Inc. has served as Salvor-in-Possession of Titanic and its wreck site and is the only company that has ever conducted salvage operations at Titanic. During that span, RMS Titanic, Inc. conducted eight research and recovery operations at the wreck site, 2.5 miles beneath the ocean surface, and salvaged and conserved over 5,000 artifacts. In 2007, the collection, including the value of certain intellectual property and undertaking associated with the collection, had previously been appraised at $189 million.

The Alasko Company conducted the 2014 appraisal. The Alasko Company appraisal reflects the market value of the historic collection based on a consideration of the market for comparable properties using a survey and analysis of market data pertaining to Titanic related materials. The appraisal reflects a nearly $30 million increase in value from the 2007 appraisal. The appraisal does not include the value of intellectual property and archaeological assets compiled during the Company’s 2010 dive, including the first comprehensive survey map of the wreck site, and other photomosaics, sidescan sonar, and 3D imagery.

On October 14, 2014, the Company filed a Form 8-K and attached The Alasko Company appraisal report as an exhibit to the filing. The Alasko Company appraisal report inadvertently stated that the appraisal was made in consultation with American Appraisal Associates, Inc. American Appraisal Associates, Inc. played no role in the appraisal, and that reference has been deleted from the Alasko Company appraisal. Other than the removal of that reference, the appraisal report is unchanged.

Science, Archaeology and Conservation Related to the Titanic and Titanic Artifacts

In addition to being important to our exhibition business, the Titanic is an important archaeological, historical and cultural site. In addition to the alliance brought together for the 2010 expedition described above, we have long standing relationships with several other archaeologists and conservators for services to aid in stewardship of the Titanic wreck site. Upon recovery from the Titanic wreck site, artifacts are in varying states of deterioration. Having been submerged in the ocean for almost 100 years, artifacts have been subjected to the corrosive effects of seawater. The conservation of all artifacts recovered from the wreck site of the Titanic is an extensive process that employs many techniques in order to stabilize them for display in our exhibitions. We also own and maintain an extensive database, together with digital and photographic archives, that establish, with certainty, the origin of the artifacts.

Merchandising

We earn revenue from the sale of exclusively sourced merchandise, such as apparel, posters, gifts and Titanic-related jewelry (some of which utilizes coal we have recovered from the shipwreck). In addition, we also publish exhibition catalogs and provide ancillary services such as audio tours and visitor exhibition themed photographs, which are sold at our exhibition gift shops. We intend to continue to focus on merchandising activities, including increasing our “self-run” retail model, at all our exhibition locations to increase revenue per attendee and our margins on these sales.

During the fiscal 2011, we launched an e-commerce website that allows us to sell merchandise related to our shows over the internet. During fiscal 2012, we re-launched our e-commerce website as www.thetitanicstore.com, which offers Titanic-themed merchandise. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company launched a King Tut e-commerce website, www.thekingtutstore.com, to maximize our merchandise rights related to the new King Tut related exhibition.

The key non-financial measurements for November 30, 2013 do not include exhibitions under management.

Exhibition revenue increased $488 thousand to $5.5 million primarily due to our new Pompeii and King Tut exhibitions which was offset partially by a decrease in revenue related to the Titanic brand being in smaller markets in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. For the quarter ended November 30, 2013, we did not recognize exhibition revenue for the AEI exhibitions but instead received a management fee for managing these properties. During the quarter ended November 30, 2014, we recognized $58 thousand in revenues related to the AEI exhibitions.

Despite fewer exhibits presented, the Company experienced an increase in attendance from 304 thousand in the third fiscal quarter of 2014 to 337 thousand in third fiscal quarter of 2015. We attribute this increase in attendance to the addition of our Pompeii and King Tut exhibitions. Revenue from self-run exhibitions was 60.0% of total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to 70.5% of revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. These comparisons exclude the AEI portfolio.

Merchandise revenue decreased $96 thousand to $1.1 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2014. Merchandise revenue decreased as a result of two Titanic touring sets being inactive during the quarter ended November 30, 2014. Partially offsetting these decreases was the addition of merchandise revenues from King Tut and Pompeii.

Cost of revenue. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, total cost of revenue increased $742 thousand, or 18.4%, to $4.8 million compared to the same period last year, as reflected in the following table.

	Cost of Revenue

Total	$	4,784		$	4,042			18.4	%
Cost of revenue as a percent of total revenue		71.1	%		63.2	%

Exhibition expense increased from 71.3% of exhibition revenue in the third quarter of 2014 to 78.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily due to the additional non-cash rent expense related to our New York City location which started in July 2014. In addition, the operating costs associated with our new Pompeii exhibition caused our exhibition expense to increase. Offsetting this slightly was a decrease in our exhibition marketing expense.

Cost of merchandise as a percent of merchandise revenue increased from 39.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 to 42.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily due to higher retail costs of goods of sold and labor costs as a percentage of revenue.

The increase in costs of goods sold resulted in a decrease in our gross profit from $2.4 million or 36.8% during the quarter ended November 30, 2013 to $1.9 million or 28.9% of revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2014.

Operating expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $314 thousand to $2.9 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in compensation and stock compensation expense as compared to the prior year.

Our depreciation and amortization expenses were consistent with the prior year and increased $8 thousand.

We recognized a gain on note payable due to a fair market value adjustment during the third fiscal quarter of 2014, based upon an update of the expected future cash flows of the exhibitions purchased from AEG Live, LLC and discounted the cash flows at 7% to estimate the future payments to AEG Live, LLC based upon the note agreement. Based upon our calculation, the fair value of the note payable was reduced by $2.4 million, which resulted in this corresponding gain.

During the three months ended November 30, 2013, we wrote-off assets of $798 thousand. This write-off represented assets related to the termination of the non-binding letter of intent for the sale of the Titanic assets and long-term development costs related to an exhibition that was under development but terminated by the Company.

Other expense. We recognized interest expense of $311 thousand on the Company’s debt during third quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to $66 thousand in the third quarter of 2014. The increase is due to the short-term note payable entered into on September 30, 2014.

Income tax benefit. We recorded zero income tax expense for the quarter ended November 30, 2014. We recorded an income tax benefit of $163 thousand for the three months ended November 30, 2013. The fiscal 2014 income tax benefit relates to the true-up from the fiscal 2013 income tax returns.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest. This represents the (income)/loss attributable to AEG Live, LLC’s 10% interest in Premier Exhibition Management LLC.

Net loss attributable to the shareholders of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. We realized a net loss of $2.1 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $233 thousand for the same period last year.

Exhibition expense increased from 77.9% of exhibition revenue in the third quarter of 2014 to 83.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily due to the additional non-cash rent expense related to our New York City location which started in July 2014. In addition, the operating costs associated with our new Pompeii exhibition caused our exhibition expense to increase. Offsetting this slightly was a decrease in our exhibition marketing expense.

The increase in costs of goods sold resulted in a decrease in our gross profit from $2.0 million or 31.5% during the quarter ended November 30, 2013 to $1.7 million or 24.7% of revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2014.

Operating expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $302 thousand to $2.7 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in compensation and stock compensation expense as compared to the prior year.

Our depreciation and amortization expenses were consistent with the prior year and increased $8 thousand.

During the three months ended November 30, 2013, we wrote-off assets of $132 thousand. This write-off represents assets previously included in long-term development costs related to an exhibition that was under development but terminated by the Company.

Income tax benefit. We recorded zero income tax expense for the quarter ended November 30, 2014. We recorded an income tax benefit of $108 thousand for the three months ended November 30, 2013. The fiscal 2014 income tax benefit relates to the true-up from the fiscal 2013 income tax returns.

RMS Titanic Segment

An analysis of operations for our RMS Titanic segment for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 with percent changes follows:

	Three Months Ended November 30,						% Change

Income tax benefit		-			(55	)		(100.0	)%
Net income/(loss) attributable to the shareholders of Premier Exhibitions, Inc.	$	16		$	(553	)		102.9	%

Revenue. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, total revenue decreased $54 thousand, or 16.2%, to $280 thousand compared to the same period in the prior year due to the decrease in revenues from Titanic exhibitions and the decrease in merchandise sales. PEM pays RMST a royalty fee for the use of Titanic artifacts in its exhibits. The royalty fee is calculated based on 10% of revenues generated from Titanic ticket sales, merchandising, and other ancillary revenue-related streams. As Titanic net revenues decreased to $2.8 million from $3.3 million, royalty revenue decreased accordingly.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased based on the 16.2% decrease in revenue discussed above.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2014 decreased 72.0% from the same period in the prior year mainly due to the write-off of $666 thousand in fees previously included in prepaid assets related to the termination of the non-binding letter of intent related for the sale of the Titanic assets in the quarter ended November 30, 2013.

Income tax benefit. We recorded zero income tax expense for the quarter ended November 30, 2014. We recorded an income tax benefit of $55 thousand for the three months ended November 30, 2013. The fiscal 2014 income tax benefit relates to the true-up from the fiscal 2013 income tax returns.

Net income/(loss) attributable to shareholders of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. We realized net income for the three months ended November 30, 2013 of $16 thousand compared to a net loss of $553 thousand for the same period in the prior year based on the items discussed above.

The key non-financial measurements for November 30, 2013 do not include exhibitions under management.

Exhibition revenue increased $432 thousand to $18.3 million primarily due to our new Pompeii and King Tut exhibitions which were offset partially by a decrease in revenue related to the Titanic brand being in smaller markets in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013, we did not recognize exhibition revenue for the AEI exhibitions but instead received a management fee for managing these properties. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, we recognized $488 thousand in revenues related to the AEI exhibitions.

With 26 exhibits presented, the Company experienced an increase in attendance from 1.2 million in the first nine months nine months of 2014 to 1.4 million in first nine months of fiscal 2015. We attribute this increase in attendance to the addition of our Pompeii and King Tut exhibitions. Revenue from self-run exhibitions was 59.8% of total revenue in the nine months ended November 30, 2014 compared to 59.5% of revenue for the same period of fiscal 2014. These comparisons exclude the AEI portfolio.

Merchandise revenue decreased $0.9 million to 3.9 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014. Merchandise revenue decreased as a result of two Titanic touring sets being inactive nearly the entire nine months ended November 30, 2014. In addition, four Titanic touring sets were run by partners and the Company receives wholesale revenues instead of the higher retail revenues. Partially offsetting these decreases was the addition of merchandise revenues from King Tut and Pompeii.

Cost of revenue. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, total cost of revenue increased $3.0 million, or 25.7%, to $14.5 million compared to the same period last year, as reflected in the following table.

	Cost of Revenue

Total	$	14,461		$	11,504			25.7	%
Cost of revenue as a percent of total revenue		64.2	%		49.7	%

Exhibition expense increased from 54.6% of exhibition revenue in the first nine months of 2014 to 70.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 primarily due to the additional rent expense related to our New York City location which started in July 2014. In addition, production expense increased $782 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 due mainly to an increase in installation and de-installation cost in the current year.

Cost of merchandise as a percent of merchandise revenue increased from 37.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 to 42.6% in the nine months of fiscal 2015 primarily due to higher retail labor costs. In the prior fiscal year, the Company ran fewer merchandise shops which reduced our cost and increased our margin.

The decrease in revenue and increase in costs of goods sold resulted in a decrease in our gross profit from $11.6 million or 50.3% during the nine months ended November 30, 2013 to $8.1 million or 35.8% of revenue for the nine months ended November 30, 2014.

Operating expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $80 thousand to $10.0 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year due to slightly increased compensation costs.

Our depreciation and amortization expenses increased $325 thousand from the prior year. The increase is attributable to the assets placed in service during fiscal 2014 related to our Buena Park location and our Pompeii exhibition.

During the nine months ended November 30, 2013, we wrote-off assets of $798 thousand. This write-off represented assets related to the termination of the non-binding letter of intent for the sale of the Titanic assets and long-term development costs related to an exhibition that was under development but terminated by the Company.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, we sold certain property and equipment that was no longer used and received insurance proceeds for equipment destroyed by Hurricane Sandy which resulted in a gain of $71 thousand.

Other income/(expense). We recognized interest expense of $355 thousand on our notes payable during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 as compared to $303 thousand during the nine months ended November 30, 2013.

Income tax expense/(benefit). We recorded zero income tax expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 as compared to an income tax benefit for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 of $163 thousand. The fiscal 2014 income tax benefit relates to the true-up from the fiscal 2013 income tax returns.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest. This represents the income AEG Live, LLC earned on its 10% interest in Premier Exhibition Management LLC.

Net income/(loss) attributable to shareholders of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. We realized a net loss of $5.0 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 as compared to net income of $676 thousand for the same period last year.

Exhibition expense increased from 62.8% of exhibition revenue in the first nine months of 2014 to 75.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 primarily due to the additional rent expense related to our New York City location which started in July 2014. In addition, production expense increased $782 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 due mainly to an increase in installation and de-installation cost in the current year.

The decrease in revenue and increase in costs of goods sold resulted in a decrease in our gross profit from $10.2 million or 44.0% during the nine months ended November 30, 2013 to $7.1 million or 31.7% of revenue for the nine months ended November 30, 2014.

Operating expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $64 thousand to $9.1 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year due to slightly increased compensation costs.

Our depreciation and amortization expenses increased $378 thousand from the prior year. The increase is attributable to the assets placed in service during fiscal 2014 related to our Buena Park location and our Pompeii exhibition.

During the nine months ended November 30, 2013, we wrote-off assets of $132 thousand. This write-off represents assets previously included in long-term development costs related to an exhibition that was under development but terminated by the Company.

RMS Titanic Segment

An analysis of operations for our RMS Titanic segment for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 with percent changes follows:

	Nine Months Ended November 30,						% Change
	2014			2013
	(In thousands except percentages)

Revenue	$	907		$	1,460			(37.9	)%
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)		-			-			N/A	%
Gross profit		907			1,460			(37.9	)%

Income tax benefit		-			(55	)		(100.0	)%
Net income/(loss) attributable to the shareholders of Premier Exhibitions, Inc.	$	9		$	(86	)		110.5	%

Revenue. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, total revenue decreased $553 thousand, or 37.9%, to $907 thousand compared to the same period in the prior year due to the decrease in revenues from Titanic exhibitions and the decrease in merchandise sales. PEM pays RMST a royalty fee for the use of Titanic artifacts in its exhibits. The royalty fee is calculated based on 10% of revenues generated from Titanic ticket sales, merchandising, and other ancillary revenue-related streams. As Titanic net revenues decreased to $9.1 million from $14.6 million, royalty revenue decreased accordingly.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased based on the 37.9% decrease in revenue discussed above.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 decreased 43.9% from the same period in the prior year mainly due to the write-off of $666 thousand in fees previously included in prepaid assets related to the termination of the non-binding letter of intent related for the sale of the Titanic assets in the nine months ended November 30, 2013.

Income tax benefit. We recorded zero income tax expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2014. We recorded an income tax benefit of $55 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2013. The fiscal 2014 income tax benefit relates to the true-up from the fiscal 2013 income tax returns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following tables reflect selected information about our cash flows during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Liquidity

	Nine Months Ended November 30,
	2014			2013

Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities	$	(714	)	$	964
Net cash used in investing activities		(4,207	)		(2,869	)
Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities		7,271			(501	)
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		-			9
Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	2,350		$	(2,397	)

Operating Activities. For the nine months ended November 30, 2014, cash used in operating activities was $714 thousand as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $964 thousand in the prior year. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities is mainly due to the change in net income/(loss) of $6.4 million and a decrease in the write-off of assets of $798 thousand. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in gain on note payable fair market value of $2.4 million, an increase in deferred rent of $1.4 million, a lower increase in our prepaid expenses of $885 thousand and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $609 thousand.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $4.2 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 as compared to $2.9 million in the prior year. Of the cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2015, $3.4 million was used as a construction deposit for our New York City lease and $800 thousand was used to purchase a restricted certificate of deposit for our New York City lease. In addition, we purchased property and equipment of $441 thousand and $3.0 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The majority of the property and equipment purchases for the nine months ended November 30, 2014, related to the $300 thousand the Company paid to AEG Live, LLC for the tangible assets that were required to be returned to AEG Live, LLC at the end of the purchase agreement. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013, the majority of the property and equipment purchases related to construction at our Buena Park location. For the nine months ended November 30, 2014, these were partially offset by the redemption of a certificate of deposit of $407 thousand.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $7.3 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 compared to cash used of $501 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2013. Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 relates primarily to the proceeds of $8.0 million from the issuance of notes payable. This was partially offset by the repayment of $220 thousand of the note payable to AEG Live, LLC, and $483 thousand in deferred financing costs paid. Cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2014 relates to the primarily to the purchase of treasury stock of $534 thousand and repayment of notes payable of $130 thousand. This was partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $185 thousand.

Capital Resources

Purchase and Registration Rights Agreements

On October 31, 2011, the Company and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), whereby the Company had the right to sell, at its sole discretion, to LPC up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock, over a 36-month period (any such shares sold being referred to as the “Purchase Shares”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares (as defined below).

The Company generally had the right, but not the obligation, over a 36-month period, to direct LPC to periodically purchase the Purchase Shares in specific amounts under certain conditions at the Company’s sole discretion. The purchase price for the Purchase Shares would be the lower of (i) the lowest trading price on the date of sale or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for the common stock during the 12 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date. In no event, however, will the Purchase Shares be sold to LPC below the floor price as defined in the LPC Purchase Agreement.

In consideration for entering into the purchase agreement between the Company and LPC dated May 20, 2011, the Company issued to LPC 149,165 shares of common stock as an initial commitment fee. Under the October 30, 2011 Purchase Agreement, the Company is also required to issue up to 149,165 shares of common stock as commitment shares on a pro rata basis as the Company directs LPC to purchase the Company’s shares under the Purchase Agreement. The LPC Purchase Agreement could be terminated by the Company at any time at the Company’s discretion without any cost to the Company. The proceeds that were received by the Company under the LPC Purchase Agreement were used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

During the year ended February 29, 2012, we sold 275,000 shares to Lincoln Park Capital, LLC at an average price of $2.31, and issued 158,632 shares as commitment shares under the Purchase Agreement. No shares have been sold or issued since that time. As of October 31, 2014, the Purchase Agreement expired by its terms.

Capital requirements.

The proceeds from these Notes are being used to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the New York City lease and proposed new content agreements.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 other than the changes noted below.

417 Fifth Avenue - New York City, New York

On April 9, 2014, the Company entered into a 130-month lease agreement for exhibition and retail space with 417 Fifth Avenue Real Estate, LLC in New York City, New York. This lease includes approximately 51,000 square feet of space at 417 Fifth Avenue between 37^th and 38^th streets in the Grand Central district and is near Bryant Park, the Empire State Building and only a few blocks east of Times Square. Specific information about the exhibitions that will be opening in the space will be released at a later date. In the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2015, we purchased a $800 thousand certificate of deposit and pledged it as collateral for this lease. An additional $900 thousand in collateral is due in the first fiscal quarter of 2016. The lease commenced in July 2014 and we anticipate the Company will begin presenting exhibitions in the leased space during the fiscal first quarter of 2016. Total future minimum payments under this lease are approximately $45.8 million.

On November 24, 2014, Premier Exhibitions, Inc., entered into a First Amendment to Lease to modify its lease of the exhibition space at 417 5^th Avenue in New York City.

Third Amendment to Atlanta, Georgia Lease Agreement

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

Except as set forth below there have been no material changes in the legal proceedings discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2014.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

For a complete list of our Risk Factors, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, there were no material changes to our Risk Factors other than the changes noted below. You should consider carefully the Risk Factors. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or a part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

The short-term nature of our financing facility and our limited access to capital may create a risk that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

The Company’s operations have been financed primarily through cash flow from operations and existing cash. The Company has incurred net losses for the majority of the past several years. Moving forward, the Company faces the potential for significant cash outflows in the near term based on the New York City lease, leasehold improvements of the leased space and new content development.

While the Company recently entered into a debt facility of $8.0 million, the notes must be repaid by March 31, 2015. As a result, the Company must refinance the debt or obtain funds to repay the debt in full by that date. Because the proceeds from these notes are expected to be used in the near-term to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the New York City lease and proposed new content agreements, the Company could be capital constrained and unable to fulfill the terms of the notes if its access to capital sources does not improve in the near term. Management believes that the Company’s access to capital depends on near-term improvement to its operating results. See the section titled “Capital Resources” in this report for additional information.

Under the terms of the notes, the exercise of rights and remedies by the Pentwater affiliates with respect to the stock of RMS Titanic, Inc. and any revenues, contracts and agreements lawfully arising out of the Titanic assets are expressly governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable court orders governing the ownership of the Titanic assets by RMS Titanic, Inc. However, if the Company is unable to replace or extend the notes by the maturity date of March 31, 2015, the lenders will have the right to exercise lender’s rights and remedies against the collateral, including the stock of RMS Titanic, Inc., which owns and control the Company’s Titanic assets. The lenders may then be able to sell the Titanic assets to third parties, subject to the above court orders, potentially at prices below the level at which the Company would agree to sell such assets. Any such sale of the Titanic assets could yield little or no proceeds for the Company’s shareholders, after the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to the lenders.

Our cash flows from operations may not improve sufficiently to finance our ongoing operations or to make investments necessary for future growth without the need for additional financing.

We can provide no assurances that our cash flow from operations will improve sufficiently to finance our ongoing operations or to make investments necessary for future growth. During fiscal 2014, we had a net loss of approximately $714 thousand and our cash and marketable securities balance was approximately $3.8 million as of February 28, 2014. We currently do not have access to a revolving credit facility. There can be no assurance that our cash flows from operations will improve during the next 12 months.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into a short-term financing in the aggregate amount of $8.0 million. The principal amount of the note is due 180 days from its funding. If we are unable to improve our cash flow from operations, it may impact our ability to obtain replacement financing at the end of this term, which could significantly impact our ability to conduct our business.

If we are unable to sufficiently improve our financial performance or obtain financing, if and when we may need it, we may not be able to continue operations as they are currently anticipated or we may be unable to make capital investments needed for our existing exhibits or to develop new exhibits.

We have recently made changes to key management positions and our failure to successfully adapt to changes in key management, and/or our inability to fill other vacant key positions, may adversely affect our business.

During our fiscal year 2015 our Board of Directors appointed our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer to the additional positions of Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, our former Chief Executive Officer and President was named the Company’s Executive Chairman. Under the terms of our Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee, if the Company’s Executive Chairman is terminated, it is considered an event of default under the agreement. As a result, the Company has limited flexibility to reorganize the management team during the term of this Note.

These changes in key management, including the appointment of an interim officer leading the Company, as well as the potential for additional appointments, could create uncertainty among our employees, customers, partners and promoters and could result in changes to the strategic direction of our business, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial position. Any failure of our management to work together to effectively manage our operations, our inability to hire other key management, and any failure to effectively integrate new management into our controls, systems and procedures may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 5.

Other Information

As previously announced, the Company will hold the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”) at the Courtyard by Marriott – Buckhead, 3332 Peachtree Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30326 on Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 8:00 a.m., local time. The Board of Directors of the Company has set Thursday, January 15, 2015 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2014 Annual Meeting.

Because the 2014 Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company has informed its shareholders of the revised deadlines for the submission of shareholder proposals and director nominations. Any shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2014 Annual Meeting must be submitted to the Company no later than December 26, 2014. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), for the 2014 Annual Meeting, any shareholder proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials, or any director nomination, had to be submitted to the Company no later than January 12, 2015, and not earlier than December 28, 2014. Any such shareholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the Bylaws as well as all applicable statutes, rules, and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable governing body.
