Organization
|
NeuMedia,
Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “NeuMedia”), formerly Mandalay Media,
Inc. (“Mandalay Media”) and formerly Mediavest, Inc. (“Mediavest”), was
originally incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 6, 1998 under the
name eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 27, 2000, it merged into DynamicWeb
Enterprises Inc., a New Jersey corporation, the surviving company, and changed
its name to eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 13, 2005, the Company changed its name
to Mediavest, Inc. Through January 26, 2005, the Company and its former
subsidiaries were engaged in providing business-to-business transaction
management services designed to simplify trading between buyers and suppliers.
The Company was inactive from January 26, 2005 until its merger with Twistbox
Entertainment, Inc., February 12, 2008 (Note 7). On September 14, 2007,
Mediavest was re-incorporated in the state of Delaware as Mandalay Media,
Inc.
On
November 7, 2007, Mediavest merged into its wholly-owned, newly formed
subsidiary, Mandalay Media, with Mandalay Media as the surviving corporation.
Mandalay Media issued: (1) one new share of common stock in exchange for
each share of Mediavest’s outstanding common stock and (2) one new share of
preferred stock in exchange for each share of Mediavest’s outstanding
preferred stock as of November 7, 2007. Mandalay Media’s preferred and common
stock had the same status and par value as the respective stock of
Mediavest and Mandalay Media acceded to all the rights, acquired all the assets
and assumed all of the liabilities of Mediavest.
On
February 12, 2008, Mandalay Media completed a merger (the “Merger”) with
Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”) through an exchange of all outstanding
capital stock of Twistbox for 10,180 shares of common stock of the Company. In
connection with the Merger, the Company assumed of all the outstanding options
under Twistbox’s Stock Incentive Plan by the issuance of options to purchase
2,464 shares of common stock of the Company, including 2,145 vested and 319
unvested options.
After the
Merger, Twistbox became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the
Company’s only active subsidiary. Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (formerly known
as The WAAT Corporation) is incorporated in the State of Delaware.
Twistbox
is a global publisher and distributor of branded and non-branded entertainment
content, including images, video, and games for all mobile platforms and third
generation (3G) and pre-fourth generation mobile networks. Twistbox
publishes and distributes its content in a number of countries. Since
operations began in 2003, Twistbox has developed an intellectual property
portfolio that includes mobile rights to global brands and content from leading
film, television and lifestyle content publishing companies. Twistbox has built
a proprietary mobile publishing platform that includes: tools that automate
handset portability for the distribution of images and video; a mobile games
development suite that automates the porting of mobile games and applications to
multiple handsets; and a content standards and ratings system globally adopted
by major wireless carriers to assist with the responsible deployment of
age-verified content. Twistbox has distribution agreements with many of
the largest mobile operators in the world.
Twistbox
is headquartered in the Los Angeles area and has offices in Europe and South
America that provide local sales and marketing support for both mobile operators
and third party distribution in their respective regions.

Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(all
numbers in thousands except per share amounts)
On
October 23, 2008, the Company completed an acquisition of 100% of the issued and
outstanding share capital of AMV Holding Limited, a United Kingdom private
limited company (“AMV”), and 80% of the issued and outstanding share capital of
Fierce Media Ltd (“Fierce”).
In
consideration for the shares of AMV and Fierce, and subject to adjustment as set
forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), the
aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) consisted of: (a) $5,375 in cash
(the “Cash Consideration”); (b) 4,500 fully paid shares of common stock (the
“Stock Consideration”); (c) a secured promissory note in the aggregate original
principal amount of $5,375 (the “AMV Note”); and (d) additional earn-out
amounts, if any, if the acquired companies achieved certain targeted earnings
for each of the periods from October 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009, April 1, 2009 to
March 31, 2010, and April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, as determined in
accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price was subject to
certain adjustments based on the working capital of AMV, to be determined
initially within 75 days of the closing, and subsequently within 60 days
following June 30, 2009. Any such adjustment of the Purchase Price would be made
first by means of an adjustment to the principal sum due under the AMV Note, as
set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. An initial adjustment of $443 was
made subsequent to closing, and was added to the AMV Note. The initial period
earn-out was recognized in the year ended March 31, 2009 and was added to the
amount of consideration for the acquisition, as described in Note
7.
AMV is a
leading mobile media and marketing company delivering games and lifestyle
content directly to consumers in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa and
various other European countries. AMV markets its well established branded
services through a unique Customer Relationship Management platform that drives
revenue through mobile internet, print and TV advertising. AMV is headquartered
in Marlow, outside of London in the United Kingdom.
On May
10, 2010, an administrator was appointed over AMV in the UK, at the request of
the Company’s senior debt holder. As from that date, AMV and its subsidiaries
are considered to be a discontinued operation.
On May
11, 2010, Mandalay Media merged into its wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary,
NeuMedia Inc. (“NeuMedia”), with NeuMedia as the surviving corporation. NeuMedia
issued: (1) one new share of common stock in exchange for each share of
outstanding common stock of Mandalay Media and (2) one new share of preferred
stock in exchange for each share outstanding preferred stock of Mandalay
Media as of May 11, 2010. Preferred and common stock of NeuMedia had the

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

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding
interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which
the Company believes are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s
financial position as of September 30, 2010 and its results of operations for
the three months and the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. These consolidated financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The consolidated
balance sheet presented as of September 30, 2010 has been derived from the
unaudited consolidated financial statements as of that date, and the
consolidated balance sheet presented as of March 31, 2010 has been derived from
the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued operations have been treated
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Discontinued
Operations.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing material and software in
the form of products (Image Galleries, Wallpapers, video, WAP Site access,
Mobile TV) and mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on a
perpetual or subscription basis.
A
perpetual license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game
on the registered handset on a perpetual basis. A subscription license gives an
end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset
for a limited period of time, ranging from a few days to as long as one
month.
The
Company either markets and distributes its products directly to consumers, or
distributes products through mobile telecommunications service providers
(“carriers”), in which case the carrier markets the product, images or games to
end users. License fees for perpetual and subscription licenses are usually
billed upon download of the product, image or game by the end user. In the case
of subscriber licenses, many subscriber agreements provide for automatic renewal
until the subscriber opts-out, while others provide opt-in renewal. In either
case, subsequent billings for subscription licenses are generally billed
monthly. The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition,
to all transactions.
Revenues
are recognized from the Company’s products, images and games when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been
delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting
receivable is probable. For both perpetual and subscription licenses, management
considers a license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier or
aggregator and a “clickwrap” agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an
end user. For these licenses, the Company defines delivery as the download of
the product, image or game by the end user.

(all

The
Company estimates revenues from carriers in the current period when reasonable
estimates of these amounts can be made. Most carriers only provide detailed
sales transaction data on a one to two month lag. Estimated revenue is treated
as unbilled receivables until the detailed reporting is received and the
revenues can be billed. Some carriers provide reliable interim preliminary
reporting and others report sales data within a reasonable time frame following
the end of each month, both of which allow the Company to make reasonable
estimates of revenues and therefore to recognize revenues during the reporting
period when the end user licenses the product, image or game. Determination of
the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates
that the Company believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results
may differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’s estimates for revenues
include consideration of factors such as preliminary sales data,
carrier-specific historical sales trends, volume of activity on company
monitored sites, seasonality, time elapsed from launch of services or product
lines, the age of games and the expected impact of newly launched games,
successful introduction of new handsets, growth of 3G subscribers by carrier,
promotions during the period and economic trends. When the Company receives the
final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame
following the end of each month, the Company records any differences between
estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when the Company
determines the actual amounts. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be
reasonably estimated. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount
of revenues to be recognized in the current period, the Company recognizes
revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when the Company’s
portion of licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is
probable. To monitor the reliability of the Company’s estimates, management,
where possible, reviews the revenues by country, by carrier and by product line
on a regular basis to identify unusual trends such as differential adoption
rates by carriers or the introduction of new handsets. If the Company deems a
carrier not to be creditworthy, the Company defers all revenues from the
arrangement until the Company receives payment and all other revenue recognition
criteria have been met.
In
accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Reporting Revenue Gross as a
Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes as revenues the
amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of the Company’s products,
images or games. The Company has evaluated its carrier agreements and has
determined that it is not the principal when selling its products, images or
games through carriers. Key indicators that it evaluated to reach this
determination include:
|
•
|
wireless
subscribers directly contract with the carriers, which have most of the
service interaction and are generally viewed as the primary obligor by the
subscribers;
|
|
•
|
carriers
generally have significant control over the types of content that they
offer to their subscribers;
|
|
•
|
carriers
are directly responsible for billing and collecting fees from their
subscribers, including the resolution of billing
disputes;
|
|
•
|
carriers
generally pay the Company a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed
fee for each game;
|
|
•
|
carriers
generally must approve the price of the Company’s content in advance of
their sale to subscribers, and the Company’s more significant carriers
generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their
subscribers; and
|
|
•
|
the
Company has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit
risk.

For
direct to consumer business, revenue is earned by delivering a product or
service directly to the end user of that product or service. In those cases, the
Company records as revenue the amount billed to that end user and recognizes the
revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or
game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of
the resulting receivable is probable. Substantially all of our discontinued
operations represents direct to consumer business.
Net
(Loss) per Common Share
Basic
loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period plus dilutive common stock equivalents, using the
treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares from stock options and
warrants and the conversion of the Series A preferred stock were as
follows:

Comprehensive
Loss
Comprehensive
income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income.
Other comprehensive income refers to gains and losses that under generally
accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders’
equity but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive
income currently includes only foreign currency translation
adjustments.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Content
Provider Licenses
Content
Provider License Fees and Minimum Guarantees
The
Company’s royalty expenses consist of fees that it pays to branded content
owners for the use of
their intellectual property in the development of the Company’s games and other
content, and other expenses directly incurred in earning revenue. Royalty-based
obligations are either accrued as incurred and subsequently paid, or in the case
of longer term content acquisitions, paid in advance and capitalized on our
balance sheet as prepaid royalties. These royalty-based obligations are expensed
to cost of revenues either at the applicable contractual rate related to that
revenue or over the estimated life of the prepaid royalties. Prepaid purchases
for the use of content used only for a defined term are amortized over the term
of the agreement.

(all

The
Company’s contracts with some licensors include minimum guaranteed royalty
payments, which are payable regardless of the ultimate volume of sales to end
users. Each quarter, the Company evaluates the realization of its royalties as
well as any unrecognized guarantees not yet paid to determine amounts that it
deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. The Company uses estimates
of revenues, and share of the relevant licensor to evaluate the future
realization of future royalties and guarantees. This evaluation considers
multiple factors, including the term of the agreement, forecasted demand,
product life cycle status, product development plans, and current and
anticipated sales levels, as well as other qualitative factors. To the extent
that this evaluation indicates that the remaining future guaranteed royalty
payments are not recoverable, the Company records an impairment charge to cost
of revenues and a liability in the period that impairment is
indicated.
Content
Acquired
Amounts
paid to third party content providers as part of an agreement to make content
available to the Company for a term or in perpetuity, without a revenue share,
have been capitalized and are included in the balance sheet as prepaid
expenses. These balances will be expensed over the estimated life of the
material acquired.
Software
Development Costs
The
Company applies the principles of FASB ASC 985-20, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC
985-20 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with
product development be charged to research and development expense until
technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is
released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported
at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related
product.
The
Company has adopted the “tested working model” approach to establishing
technological feasibility for its products and games. Under this approach, the
Company does not consider a product or game in development to have passed the
technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of
the product or game that contains essentially all the functionality and features
of the final game and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected.
To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs between the
establishment of technological feasibility and the release of a product or game
for sale; thus, the Company has expensed all software development costs as
incurred. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether
costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile market; the gradual
evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and mobile phones for which it
develops products and games; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its
products and games; the uncertainty regarding a product’s or game’s
revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution
channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a product or game will be
available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling products and games
at any stage of the development process.
Product
Development Costs
The
Company charges costs related to research, design and development of products to
product
development expense as incurred. The types of costs included in product
development expenses include salaries, contractor fees and allocated facilities
costs.

Advertising
Expenses
The
Company expenses the production costs of advertising, including direct response
advertising, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense for
continuing operations was $13 and $39 in the three months ended September 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively and $24 and $77 in the six months ended September
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Advertising expense for discontinued operations
was $0 and $2,137 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively and $956 and $4,437 in the six months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
Restructuring
The
Company accounts for costs associated with employee terminations and other exit
activities in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company records employee
termination benefits as an operating expense when it communicates the benefit
arrangement to the employee and it requires no significant future services,
other than a minimum retention period, from the employee to earn the termination
benefits.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
As of
September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the carrying value of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets,
accounts payable, accrued license fees, accrued compensation and other current
liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such
instruments. The carrying value of current portion of long-term debt
approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates
currently available to the Company.
Foreign Currency
Translation.
The
Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using current rates
of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been
translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction
occurred. Statement of Operations amounts are translated at average rates
in effect for the reporting period. The foreign currency translation adjustment
gain of $138 in the period ended September 30, 2010 and the foreign currency
translation adjustment loss of $290 in the period ended September 30, 2009 have
been reported as a component of comprehensive income/loss in the consolidated
statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income/loss. Translation
gains or losses are shown as a separate component of stockholders’
equity.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. We have
placed cash and cash equivalents with a single high credit-quality institution.
Most of our sales are made directly to large national Mobile Phone Operators in
the countries that we operate. We have a significant level of business and
resulting significant accounts receivable balance with one operator and
therefore have a high concentration of credit risk with that operator. We
perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance
for potential credit losses. As of September 30, 2010, one major customer
represented approximately 45% of our gross accounts receivable outstanding. This
customer accounted for 36% of our gross accounts receivable outstanding as of
March 31, 2010. The customer accounted for 51% of our gross revenues in the
period ended September 30, 2010; and 41% in the period ended September 30,
2009.

Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Estimated useful lives are 8 to 10 years for leasehold
improvements and 5 years for other assets.
Goodwill
and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets of businesses
acquired. In accordance with FASB ASC 350-20 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, the value assigned to goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets, including trademarks and tradenames, is not amortized to expense, but
rather they are evaluated at least on an annual basis to determine if there are
potential impairments. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its
carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied
fair value of the reporting unit goodwill is less than the carrying value. If
the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible (such as trademarks and trade
names) is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded. Fair
value is determined based on discounted cash flows, market multiples or
appraised values, as appropriate. Discounted cash flow analysis requires
assumptions about the timing and amount of future cash inflows and outflows,
risk, the cost of capital, and terminal values. Each of these factors can
significantly affect the value of the intangible asset. The estimates of future
cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections,
require management’s judgment. Any changes in key assumptions about the
Company’s businesses and their prospects, or changes in market conditions, could
result in an impairment charge. Some of the more significant estimates and
assumptions inherent in the intangible asset valuation process include: the
timing and amount of projected future cash flows; the discount rate selected to
measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the
asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including
consideration of any technical, legal or regulatory trends.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and Finite Life Intangibles
Long-lived
assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, primarily consist
of customer lists, license agreements and software that have been acquired, and
are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging
from three to ten years and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB
ASC 360-10, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes
(“ASC 740-10”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under ASC 740-10, the
Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences
between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities along with net operating losses, if it is more likely than not the
tax benefits will be realized using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year
in which it expects the differences to reverse. To the extent a deferred
tax asset cannot be recognized, a valuation allowance is established if
necessary.
12
NeuMedia,
Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(all
numbers in thousands except per share amounts)
ASC
740-10 prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions
that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold should be measured as
the largest amount of the tax benefits, determined on a cumulative probability
basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in
the financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties related to income
tax matters as a component of the provision for income taxes. We do not
currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly change within the next 12 months.
Stock-based compensation.
We have
applied FASB ASC 718 Share-Based Payment (“ASC
718”) and accordingly, we record stock-based compensation expense for all of our
stock-based awards.
Under ASC
718, we estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is
then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the
award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense
recognized represents the expense associated with the stock options we expect to
ultimately vest based upon an estimated rate of forfeitures; this rate of
forfeitures is updated as necessary and any adjustments needed to recognize the
fair value of options that actually vest or are forfeited are
recorded.
The
Black-Scholes option pricing model, used to estimate the fair value of an award,
requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility
of our common stock, interest rates, dividend rates and an option’s expected
life. As a result, the financial statements include amounts that are based upon
our best estimates and judgments relating to the expenses recognized for
stock-based compensation.
Preferred
Stock
The
Company applies the guidance enumerated in FASB ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC
480-10”) when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock.
Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as
liability instruments and are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC
480-10. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the classification
and measurement principles of ASC 480-10. Accordingly, the Company classifies
conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred
shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the
holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not
solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times,
the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’
equity.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to revenues
for periods not yet reported by Carriers, liabilities recorded for future
minimum guarantee payments under content licenses, accounts receivable
allowances, and stock-based compensation expense.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
With the
exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting
pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the period ended
September 30, 2010, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements
described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010, that are of significance, or potential significance to the
Company.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
October 2009, the FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ” (ASU
2009-13). It updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance
currently included under ASC 605-25, which originated primarily from the
guidance in EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables” (EITF 00-21). The revised guidance primarily provides two
significant changes: (1) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence
of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to
be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and (2) eliminates the residual
method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance also
expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 will be
effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted provided that the revised
guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The
adoption of this standard update is not expected to impact the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Effective
January 2010, an amendment to the Consolidation Topic of the Codification
(“ASU 810”) replaced the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation
for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial
interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with a primarily qualitative
analysis. The qualitative analysis is based on identifying the party that
has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the
VIE’s economic performance (the “power criterion”) and the obligation to absorb
losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially
be significant to the VIE (the “losses/benefit criterion”). The party that
meets both these criteria is deemed to have a controlling financial interest.
The party with the controlling financial interest is considered to be the
primary beneficiary and as a result is required to consolidate the VIE.
The amendment to ASU 810 had no impact on our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “ Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements ” which provides amendments to the FASB ASC Subtopic 820-10
that require new disclosures regarding (i) transfers in and out of Level 1
and Level 2 fair value measurements and (ii) activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosures regarding
(i) the level of asset and liability disaggregation and (ii) fair
value measurement inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and
clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for
interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the
disclosure impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.2010-09,
“Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”),
which is included in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "ASC")
Topic 855 (Subsequent Events). ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is
required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial
statements are issued. ASU 2010-09 became effective upon the issuance
of the final update and had no impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

Fair
Value Measurements
|
As of
September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments.
On April
1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures - Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC 820-10”). ASC 820-10, which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820-10 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides
guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used
to classify the source of the information.
ASC
820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of valuation techniques
that is based on observable and unobservable inputs. Classification within the
hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant
to the fair value measurement. The first two inputs are considered observable
and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value and include
the following:
Level 1
- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2
- Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted
prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or
can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of
the assets or liabilities.
Level 3
- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and
that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities.

Acquisition
- AMV Holding Limited and subsidiaries (Discontinued Operation)
On
October 23, 2008, the Company completed an acquisition of 100% of AMV Holding
Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company (“AMV”) and 80% of Fierce
Media Limited. The acquisition was effective on October 1, 2008.
Subject
to adjustment as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the aggregate
purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) consisted of: (a) $5,375 in cash (the
“Cash Consideration”); (b) 4,500 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common
stock (the “Stock Consideration”); (c) a secured promissory note in the
aggregate original principal amount of $5,375 (the “AMV Note”); and (d)
additional earn-out amounts, if any, if the acquired companies achieved certain
targeted earnings for each of the periods from October 1, 2008 to March 31,
2009, April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, and April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010,
as determined in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Price was subject to certain adjustments based on the working capital of AMV, to
be determined initially within 75 days of the closing, and subsequently within
60 days following June 30, 2009. Any such adjustment of the Purchase Price would
be made first by means of an adjustment to the principal sum due under the AMV
Note, as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The initial adjustment has
been determined preliminarily as $443, to be added to the AMV Note.
Prior to
closing, each outstanding option to purchase shares of capital stock of AMV (an
“AMV Option”) was either exercised in full or terminated. The AMV Note was
scheduled to mature on July 31, 2010, and bore interest at an initial rate of 5%
per annum, subject to adjustment as provided therein. In the event the Company
completed an equity financing that resulted in gross proceeds of over $6,000,
the Company would have been obligated to prepay a portion of the AMV Note in an
amount equal to one-third of the excess of the gross proceeds of such financing
over $6,000. Additionally, in connection with the AMV Note, AMV
granted to the sellers a security interest in its assets. Such security interest
was subordinate to the security interest granted to ValueAct Small Cap Master
Fund, L.P. (“ValueAct) under the Senior Secured Note, issued by Twistbox,
due July 31, 2010, as amended on February 12, 2008 (the “ValueAct Note”),
and as subsequently amended on October 23, 2008. AMV also agreed to guarantee
Mandalay Media’s repayment of the AMV Note to the sellers.

(all

The
Purchase Price was preliminarily estimated by the Company to be $23,030
consisting of $9,900 attributed to the Stock Consideration issued, $5,375 in
cash, $95 in stamp duty, $5,818 under the AMV Note referenced above (inclusive
of the working-capital adjustment), $1,098 as an estimate of the initial period
earn-out adjustment and $744 in transaction costs. Any
further adjustments required under the “working capital adjustment”
provision and any further adjustment under the “earn-out” provision of the Stock
Purchase Agreement have not yet been determined and therefore have not been
included in the preliminary calculation of the purchase price. The shares of the
Stock Consideration were valued using the closing stock price at the acquisition
date of $2.20 per share. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company
allocated the total Purchase Price of $23,030 to the net tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated
fair values as of the acquisition date as follows:

Net
assets associated with Fierce Media Limited were insignificant. Goodwill
recognized in the above transaction was $22,456. The business acquired is not
capital intensive and does not require significant identifiable intangible
assets – as a result the greater proportion of consideration has been allocated
to goodwill. Goodwill in relation to the acquisition of AMV is not
expected to be deductible for US income tax purposes.
Discontinued
Operations
The
Company had been negotiating a restructuring of debt with its senior debt holder
for some time. These negotiations were finalized on June 21,
2010. On that date, the Company signed and closed a number of
transactions, which included the sale of AMV. Pursuant to the Agreement,
ValueAct and the AMV Founders, acting through a newly formed company (“NewCo”),
acquired the operating subsidiaries of AMV in exchange for the release of
$23,231 of secured indebtedness, which included a release of all amounts due and
payable under the AMV Note and all of the amounts due and payable under the
ValueAct Note except for $3,500 in principal. In addition, all intercompany
balances at that date were cancelled, and all shares of common stock and
warrants of the Company held by ValueAct were cancelled. In addition,
approximately 3,541 shares of common stock of the Company held by two of the
founders of AMV were acquired by the Company. As of June 30, 2010 the
Company accrued $300 to a related party pertaining to the sale of
AMV.
In
accordance with FASB ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, the
operating results and net assets and liabilities related to AMV were
reclassified as of June 21, 2010 and reported as discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Senior
Secured Convertible Notes
On June
21, 2010, the Company sold and issued $2,500 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes
due June 21, 2013 of the Company (the “New Senior Secured Notes”) to certain of
the Company’s significant stockholders. The New Senior Secured Notes
have a three year term and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable in
arrears semi-annually. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to
the 18th month following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured
Notes, the Company may, at its option, in lieu of making any cash payment of
interest, elect that the amount of any interest due and payable on any interest
payment date on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of
the New Senior Secured Notes be added to the principal due under the New Senior
Secured Notes. The accrued and unpaid principal and interest due on the New
Senior Secured Notes are convertible at any time at the election of the holder
into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.15 per
share, subject to adjustment. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a
first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of that certain Guarantee and Security
Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2010, among Twistbox, the Company, each of the
subsidiaries thereof party thereto, the investors party thereto and Trinad
Management. The Amended ValueAct Note is subordinated to the New Senior Secured
Notes pursuant to the terms of that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of
June 21, 2010, by and between Trinad Fund, and ValueAct, and each of the Company
and Twistbox.
Each
purchaser of a New Senior Secured Note also received a warrant (“Warrant”) to
purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per
share, subject to adjustment. For each $1 of New Senior Secured Notes
purchased, the purchaser received a Warrant to purchase 3.33 shares of common
stock of the Company. Each Warrant has a five year term.
The
Warrants granted to the New Senior Secured Note holders on June 21, 2010 and
conversion feature in the New Senior Secured Notes are not considered derivative
instruments since the Warrants and the New Senior Secured Notes have a set
conversion price. The Company determined the fair value of the detachable
warrants issued in connection with the New Senior Secured Notes to be $1,678,
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following
assumptions: expected life of 5 years, a risk free interest rate
of 2.05%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 54.62%. In
addition, the Company determined the value of the beneficial conversion feature
to be $5,833. The combined total discount for the New Senior Secured
Notes is limited to the face value of the New Senior Secured
Notes of $2,500 and is being amortized over the term of the New
Senior Secured Notes . For the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company
amortized $231 of the aforesaid discounts as interest and financing costs in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations
At
September 30, 2010, minimum future obligations through June 21, 2013,
including interest, under the New Senior Secured Notes were $8,041 including
repayment of the principal.

Income
Taxes
|
The
income tax provision for the quarter represents foreign withholding taxes
related to continuing operations paid in jurisdictions outside of the
US. Profit from discontinued operations is disclosed net of taxes –
these are income taxes currently payable in foreign jurisdictions, primarily the
United Kingdom based on revenue derived in that territory. The discontinued
operation had taxable income in the quarter which is subject to taxation in the
United Kingdom. The tax provision arising from the gain on disposal of
discontinued operations is offset against available tax losses.
Management
has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax
positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of
September 30, 2010.
ASC 740
requires the consideration of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of
realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment
is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax
assets. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 on January 1, 2008 and
there was no difference between the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits
recognized in the balance sheet prior to the adoption of ASC 740 and those after
the adoption of ASC 740. There were no unrecognized tax benefits not subject to
valuation allowance as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010. The Company
recognized no interest and penalties on income taxes in its statement of
operations for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and
2009. Management believes that with few exceptions, the Company is no
longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before
March 31, 2004.

Litigation
Twistbox’s
wholly owned subsidiary, WAAT Media Corp. (“WAAT”) and General Media
Communications, Inc. (“GMCI”) are parties to a content license
agreement dated May 30, 2006, whereby GMCI granted to WAAT certain
exclusive rights to exploit GMCI branded content via mobile devices. GMCI
terminated the agreement on January 26, 2009 based on its claim that WAAT
failed to cure a material breach pertaining to the non-payment of a minimum
royalty guarantee installment in the amount of $485. On or about March 16,
2009, GMCI filed a complaint seeking the balance of the minimum guarantee
payments due under the agreement in the approximate amount of $4,085. WAAT
has counter-sued claiming GMCI is not entitled to the claimed amount and that it
has breached the agreement by, among other things, failing to promote, market
and advertise the mobile services as required under the agreement and by
fraudulently inducing WAAT to enter into the agreement based on GMCI’s
repeated assurances of its intention to reinvigorate its flagship
brand. GMCI has filed a demurrer to the counter-claim. WAAT
subsequently filed an amended counter-claim. WAAT intends to vigorously defend
against this action. Principals of both parties continue to communicate to
find a mutually acceptable resolution. The Company has accrued for its estimated
liability in this matter.

Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(all
numbers in thousands except per share amounts)
The
Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal
course of business. Based on the opinion of the Company’s legal
counsel, management believes that the ultimate liability, if any in the
aggregate of other claims will not be material to the financial position or
results of operations of the Company for any future period; and no liability has
been accrued.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its
entirety by, the Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in this
report. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar
expressions, as they relate to our management or us, are intended to identify
such forward-looking statements. Our actual results, performance or achievements
could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these
forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors including those
set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended,
for the period ended March 31, 2010. Historical operating results are not
necessarily indicative of the trends in operating results for any future
period.
Unless
the context otherwise indicates, the use of the terms “we,” “our” “us” or the
“Company” refer to the business and operations of NeuMedia, Inc. (“NeuMedia”)
through its operating and wholly-owned subsidiary, Twistbox Entertainment, Inc.
(“Twistbox”).
Historical
Operations of NeuMedia, Inc.
NeuMedia
was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 6, 1998 under
the name eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 27, 2000, the company merged into
DynamicWeb Enterprises Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and changed its name to
eB2B Commerce, Inc. On April 13, 2005, the company changed its name to
Mediavest, Inc. On November 7, 2007, through a
merger, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware under
the name Mandalay Media, Inc. On May 12, 2010, the company changed its
name to NeuMedia, Inc.
On
October 27, 2004, and as amended on December 17, 2004, NeuMedia filed a plan for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Plan
of Reorganization”). Under the Plan of Reorganization, as completed on January
26, 2005: (1) NeuMedia’s net operating assets and liabilities were transferred
to the holders of the secured notes in satisfaction of the principal and accrued
interest thereon; (2) $400,000 were transferred to a liquidation trust and used
to pay administrative costs and certain preferred creditors; (3) $100,000 were
retained by NeuMedia to fund the expenses of remaining public; (4) 3.5% of the
new common stock of NeuMedia (140,000 shares) was issued to the holders of
record of NeuMedia’s preferred stock in settlement of their liquidation
preferences; (5) 3.5% of the new common stock of NeuMedia (140,000 shares) was
issued to common stockholders of record as of January 26, 2005 in exchange for
all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the company; and (6) 93% of
the new common stock of NeuMedia (3,720,000 shares) was issued to the sponsor of
the Plan of Reorganization in exchange for $500,000 in cash. Through January 26,
2005, NeuMedia and its subsidiaries were engaged in providing
business-to-business transaction management services designed to simplify
trading between buyers and suppliers.
Prior to
February 12, 2008, NeuMedia was a public shell company with no operations, and
controlled by its significant stockholder, Trinad Capital Master Fund,
L.P.
SUMMARY
OF THE TWISTBOX MERGER
NeuMedia
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on December 31, 2007, as
subsequently amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
February 12, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Twistbox Acquisition, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeuMedia (“Merger Sub”),
Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”), and Adi McAbian and Spark Capital,
L.P., as representatives of the stockholders of Twistbox, pursuant to which
Merger Sub would merge with and into Twistbox, with Twistbox as the surviving
corporation (the “Merger”). The Merger was completed on February 12,
2008.
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the Merger, each outstanding
share of Twistbox common stock, $0.001 par value per share, on a fully-converted
basis, with the conversion on a one-for-one basis of all issued and outstanding
shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Twistbox and the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock of Twistbox, each $0.01 par value per share (the
“Twistbox Preferred Stock”), converted automatically into and became
exchangeable for NeuMedia common stock in accordance with certain exchange
ratios set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, by virtue of the Merger,
each outstanding Twistbox option to purchase Twistbox common stock issued
pursuant to the Twistbox 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was assumed by
NeuMedia, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such
plan immediately prior to the Merger, except that (a) the number of shares of
NeuMedia common stock issuable upon exercise of each Twistbox option was
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Twistbox common stock that
were subject to such Twistbox option immediately prior to the Merger by 0.72967
(the “Option Conversion Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number; and
(b) the per share exercise price for the shares of NeuMedia common stock
issuable upon exercise of each Twistbox option was determined by dividing the
per share exercise price of Twistbox common stock subject to such Twistbox
option, as in effect prior to the Merger, by the Option Conversion Ratio,
subject to any adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Code. As part of the
Merger, NeuMedia also assumed all unvested Twistbox options. The merger
consideration consisted of an aggregate of up to 12,325,000 shares of NeuMedia
common stock, which included the conversion of all shares of Twistbox capital
stock and the reservation of 2,144,700 shares of NeuMedia common stock required
for assumption of the vested Twistbox options. NeuMedia reserved an additional
318,772 shares of NeuMedia common stock required for the assumption of the
unvested Twistbox options. All warrants to purchase shares of Twistbox
common stock outstanding at the time of the Merger were terminated on or before
the effective time of the Merger.
27
Upon the
completion of the Merger, all shares of the Twistbox capital stock were no
longer outstanding and were automatically canceled and ceased to exist, and each
holder of a certificate representing any such shares ceased to have any rights
with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable merger
consideration. Additionally, each share of the Twistbox capital stock held by
Twistbox or owned by Merger Sub, NeuMedia or any subsidiary of Twistbox or
NeuMedia immediately prior to the Merger, was canceled and extinguished as of
the completion of the Merger without any conversion or payment in respect
thereof. Each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted upon
completion of the Merger into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the surviving
corporation.
As part
of the Merger, NeuMedia agreed to guarantee up to $8,250,000 of
Twistbox’s outstanding debt to ValueAct SmallCap Master Fund L.P.
(“ValueAct”), with certain amendments. On July 30, 2007,
Twistbox had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among
Twistbox, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined therein) and
ValueAct, pursuant to which ValueAct purchased a note in the
amount of $16,500,000 (the “ValueAct Note”) and a warrant which entitled
ValueAct to purchase from Twistbox up to a total of 2,401,747 shares of
Twistbox’s common stock (the “Warrant”). Twistbox and ValueAct -
also entered into a Guarantee and Security Agreement by and among Twistbox, each
of the subsidiaries of Twistbox, the Investors, as defined therein, and
ValueAct, as collateral agent, pursuant to which the parties agreed that the
ValueAct Note would be secured by substantially all of the assets of Twistbox
and its subsidiaries (the “VAC Note Security Agreement”). In connection with the
Merger, the Warrant was terminated and we issued two warrants in place
thereof to ValueAct to purchase shares of our common stock. One of such
warrants entitled ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,622 shares
of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.55 per share. The other
warrant entitled ValueAct to purchase up to a total of 1,092,621 shares
of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $5.00 per share,
which, if not exercised in full by February 12, 2009, would have been
permanently increased to an exercise price of $7.55 per share.
Both warrants were scheduled to expire on July 30, 2011. The warrants were
subsequently modified on October 23, 2008 and cancelled on June 21, 2010, as set
forth below. We also entered into a Guaranty (the “ValueAct Note Guaranty”) with
ValueAct whereby NeuMedia agreed to guarantee Twistbox’s payment to ValueAct of
up to $8,250,000 of principal under the Note in accordance with the terms,
conditions and limitations contained in the ValueAct Note, which was
subsequently amended as set forth below. The financial covenants of the ValueAct
Note were also amended, pursuant to which Twistbox was
required to maintain a cash balance of not less than $2,500,000 at all
times and NeuMedia is required to maintain a cash balance of not less
than $4,000,000 at all times. The ValueAct Note was subsequently amended and
restated as set forth below.
SUMMARY
OF THE AMV ACQUISITION
On
October 23, 2008, NeuMedia consummated the acquisition of 100% of the issued and
outstanding share capital of AMV Holding Limited, a United Kingdom private
limited company (“AMV”) and 80% of the issued and outstanding share capital of
Fierce Media Limited, United Kingdom private limited company (collectively the
“Shares”). The acquisition of AMV is referred to herein as the “AMV
Acquisition”. The aggregate purchase price (subject to adjustments as provided
in the stock purchase agreement) for the Shares consisted of (i) $5,375,000 in
cash; (ii) 4,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share; (iii)
a secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,375,000 (the
“AMV Note”); and (iv) additional earn-out amounts, if any, based on certain
targeted earnings as set forth in the stock purchase agreement. The
AMV Note was scheduled to mature on July 31, 2010, and bore interest at an
initial rate of 5% per annum, subject to adjustment as provided
therein.
In
addition, also on October 23, 2008, in connection with the AMV Acquisition,
NeuMedia, Twistbox and ValueAct entered into a Second Amendment to the
ValueAct Note, which among other things, provided for a payment-in-kind election
at the option of Twistbox, modified the financial covenants set forth in
the ValueAct Note to require that NeuMedia and Twistbox maintain certain
minimum combined cash balances and provided for certain covenants with respect
to the indebtedness of NeuMedia and its subsidiaries. Also on October 23,
2008, AMV granted to ValueAct a security interest in its assets to secure
the obligations under the ValueAct Note. In addition, NeuMedia and ValueAct
entered into an allonge to each of those certain warrants issued to ValueAct in
connection with the Merger, which, among other things, amended the exercise
price of each of the warrants to $4.00 per share.
In
addition, also on October 23, 2008, NeuMedia entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement with certain investors identified therein (the “Investors”), pursuant
to which NeuMedia agreed to sell to the Investors in a private offering an
aggregate of 1,685,394 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 842,697
shares of common stock for gross proceeds to NeuMedia of $4,500,000. The
warrants have a five year term and an exercise price of $2.67 per share. The
funds were held in an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, dated
October 23, 2008 and were released to NeuMedia on or about November 8,
2008.
On August
14, 2009, the Company and ValueAct entered into a Second Allonge to Warrant to
Purchase 1,092,621 shares of common stock (the “Second Allonge”), which amended
that certain warrant to purchase 1,092,621 shares of the Company’s common stock,
issued to ValueAct on February 12, 2008, as amended (the “ValueAct
Warrant”). Pursuant to the Second Allonge, the exercise price of the
ValueAct Warrant decreased from $4.00 per share to the lesser of $1.25 per
share, or the exercise price per share for any warrant to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock issued by the Company to certain other parties. In
addition, also on August 14, 2009, NeuMedia, Twistbox and ValueAct entered
into a Third Amendment to the ValueAct Note. Pursuant to the Third
Amendment, the maturity date was changed to July 31, 2010 and the interest rate
of the ValueAct Note increased from 10% to 12.5%.
28
On
January 25, 2010, NeuMedia, Twistbox and ValueAct entered into a Waiver to
Senior Secured Note (the “Waiver”), pursuant to which ValueAct agreed to waive
certain provisions of the ValueAct Note. Pursuant to the Waiver, subject to
Twistbox’s compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Waiver, certain
rights to prepay the ValueAct Note were extended from January 31, 2010 to March
1, 2010. In addition, subject to Twistbox’s compliance with certain conditions
set forth in the Waiver, the timing obligation of NeuMedia and Twistbox to
comply with the cash covenant set forth in the ValueAct Note was extended to
March 1, 2010 and the minimum cash balance by which Twistbox and NeuMedia must
maintain was increased to $1,600,000.
On
February 25, 2010, Twistbox received a letter (the “Letter”) from ValueAct
alleging certain events of default with respect to the ValueAct Note. The Letter
claimed that an event of default had occurred and was continuing under the
ValueAct Note as result of certain alleged defaults, including the failure
to provide weekly evidence of compliance with certain of Twistbox’s and
NeuMedia’s covenants under the ValueAct Note, the failure to comply with
limitations on certain payments by NeuMedia and each of its subsidiaries, and
the failure of Twistbox and Neumedia to maintain minimum cash balances in
deposit accounts of each of Twistbox and Neumedia. The Letter also claimed that
the Waiver had ceased to be effective as a result of the alleged failure of
NeuMedia to comply with the conditions set forth in the Waiver. On May 10,
2010, Twistbox received from ValueAct a Notice of Event of Default and
Acceleration (“Notice”) in which ValueAct stated that an event of default had
occurred under the ValueAct Note as a result of Twistbox’s and NeuMedia’s
failure to comply with the cash balance covenant under the ValueAct Note and,
therefore, ValueAct accelerated all outstanding amounts payable by Twistbox
under the ValueAct Note. In connection with the Notice, ValueAct instituted
an administration proceeding in the United Kingdom against AMV.
On June
21, 2010, NeuMedia sold all of the operating subsidiaries of AMV to an entity
controlled by ValueAct and certain of AMV’s founders in exchange for the release
of $23,231,000 of secured indebtedness, comprising of a release of all amounts
due and payable under the AMV Note and all amounts due and payable under the VAC
Note except for $3,500,000 in principal (the “Restructure”). In connection with
the Restructure, the ValueAct Note (as amended and restated, the “Amended
ValueAct Note”), the Value Act Security Agreement and the Value Act Guaranty
were amended and restated in their entirety. In addition, all warrants and
common stock of NeuMedia held by ValueAct were cancelled and all warrants and
common stock of NeuMedia held by AMV founders Nate MacLeitch and Jonathan
Cresswell were repurchased by NeuMedia for a price of $0.02 per
share.
The
Amended ValueAct Note matures on June 21, 2013 and bears interest at 10% payable
in cash semi-annually in arrears on each January 1 and July 1 that the Amended
ValueAct Note is outstanding. Twistbox may prepay the Amended ValueAct Note in
whole or in part at any time without penalty. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time on or prior to January 1, 2012, Twistbox may, at its
option, in lieu of making any cash payment of interest, elect that the amount of
any interest due and payable on any interest payment date on or prior to January
1, 2012 be added to the principal due under the Amended ValueAct Note. In
the event of a Fundamental Change (as defined therein) of Twistbox, the holder
of the Amended ValueAct Note will have the right for a period of thirty days to
require Twistbox to repurchase the Amended ValueAct Note at a price equal to
100% of the outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid
interest.
Also on
June 21, 2010, for purposes of capitalizing NeuMedia, NeuMedia sold and issued
$2,500,000 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes due June 21, 2013 (the “New
Senior Secured Notes” or the “Senior Debt”) to certain significant
stockholders. The New Senior Secured Notes have a three year term and bear
interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable in arrears semi-annually.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to the 18th month
following the original issue date of the New Senior Secured Notes,
NeuMedia - may, at its option, in lieu of making any cash payment of
interest, elect that the amount of any interest due and payable on any interest
payment date on or prior to the 18th month following the original issue date of
the New Senior Secured Notes be added to the principal due under the New Senior
Secured Notes. The accrued and unpaid principal and interest due on the New
Senior Secured Notes are convertible at any time at the election of the holder
into shares of common stock of NeuMedia at a conversion price of US$0.15 per
share, subject to adjustment. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a
first lien on substantially all of the assets of NeuMedia and its subsidiaries.
The Amended ValueAct Note is subordinated to the New Senior Secured
Notes.
Each
purchaser of a New Senior Secured Note also received a warrant (“Warrant”) to
purchase shares of common stock of NeuMedia at an exercise price of $0.25 per
share, subject to adjustment. For each $1 of New Senior Secured Notes
purchased, the purchaser received a Warrant to purchase 3.33 shares of common
stock of NeuMedia. Each Warrant has a five year term.

Revenue
has been analyzed based on the primary revenue drivers for the Company’s
businesses, as follows:
“Services”
includes carrier platform management, content aggregation services and
development fees derived primarily as an outsourced extended services contract
basis. The decrease in Services revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2010
is primarily the result of a decrease in the level of development projects
undertaken by our technology and development team in the quarter ended September
30, 2010, and the wind-down of a multi-game development agreement with a US
based games distributor.
“Content
– Games” includes both licensed and internally developed games for use on mobile
phones. The decline in revenue largely reflects a strategic decision to curtail
investment in the development of new JAVA and BREW games for on-deck carrier
sales – the intention is to continue to build applications for smartphones
(iPhone, iPad, Android, and Blackberry) and social networks, however this is
largely in pre-launch phase. In addition, games sales through our games platform
in Germany have declined in the period.
31
“Content
– Other” includes a broad range of licensed and internally developed products
delivered in the form of WAP, Video, Wallpaper and Mobile TV. The decline in
revenue year over year is attributable to several factors: our primary carrier
partner has begun a strategic shift in its global approach to on-deck sales
including removing support for a range of older handset models – this has
resulted in a significant decline in on-deck revenues from this carrier,
particularly in larger markets such as the UK and Spain; the restructuring of
our Russian operations in the later part of fiscal 2010 – zero revenues in the
current quarter compared to $391 in the prior period; sharp declines in revenue
in Brazil, partly attributed to difficulty in refreshing content; and lower
sales via the distributor in Germany.
“Advertising”
includes revenues earned by managing carrier advertising portals, revenues
derived from the sale of advertising inventory within our mobile sites, and from
the monetization and mediation of traffic through our mobile sites. Building a
significant Advertising ecosystem is a key strategic initiative for the Company
in fiscal 2011. The quarter ended September 30, 2010 shows significant
growth in our core advertising business which was offset by reductions in
carrier portal managed revenues in Spain and ancillary carrier revenue in the
UK.

License
fees represent costs payable to content providers for use of their brands and
intellectual property in products sold. Our licensing agreements are
predominantly
on a revenue-share basis, and therefore over time, license fees have decreased
as a result of reductions in the revenue share attributable to several licensed
product arrangements, renegotiation of major license agreements resulting in a
lower revenue share, and a change in mix towards product for which the rights
have been acquired in perpetuity. However, margins in the current quarter are
lower than the same quarter in the prior year due to higher games QA and
development costs, settlements of disputed shares, initiation costs for several
off-deck sales initiatives and higher costs related to advertising platform
management. In addition license fees in the prior year quarter benefited from
the reversal of previously accrued license fees following resolution with
providers.

development expenses include the costs to develop, edit and make content ready
for consumption on a mobile phone. Expenses in this area are primarily driven by
personnel costs, and while headcount has been reduced from period to period,
this has been offset by higher personnel costs and internet connectivity
costs.
Sales and
marketing expenses represent the costs of sales and marketing personnel, and
advertising and marketing campaigns. The decrease year-over-year is the result
of cost savings due to headcount reductions and reduced travel.
General
and administrative expenses represent management and support personnel costs in
each of the subsidiary companies and related expenses, as well as professional
and consulting costs, and other costs such as stock based compensation,
depreciation and bad debt expenses. Decreased expense in the quarter were the
result of lower stock compensation expense ($148), lower personnel costs
resulting from headcount reductions and lower legal expenses in the quarter
ended September 30, 2010.

Revenue
has been analyzed based on the primary revenue drivers for the Company’s
businesses, as follows:
“Services”
includes carrier platform management, content aggregation services and
development fees derived primarily as an outsourced extended services contract
basis. The small increase in Services revenue in the six months ended September
30, 2010 vs the equivalent period in the prior year is the result of additional
development projects completed in the first quarter in Germany, partially offset
by the wind-down of a multi-game development agreement with a US based games
distributor.
“Content
– Games” includes both licensed and internally developed games for use on mobile
phones. The decline in revenue largely reflects a strategic decision to curtail
investment in the development of new JAVA and BREW games for on-deck carrier
sales – the intention is to continue to build applications for smartphones
(iPhone, iPad, Android, and Blackberry) and social networks, however this is
largely in pre-launch phase – this impacted sales to US Carriers in particular,
with a decline in US sales of $565. In addition, games sales through our
games platform in Germany have declined steeply in the period, as our carrier
partner has experienced quickly moving trends in on-deck sales.
“Content
– Other” includes a broad range of licensed and internally developed products
delivered in the form of WAP, Video, Wallpaper and Mobile TV. The decline in
revenue year over year is attributable to several factors: our primary carrier
partner has begun a strategic shift in its global approach to on-deck sales
including removing support for a range of older handset models – this has
resulted in a significant decline in on-deck revenues from this carrier,
particularly in larger markets such as the UK and Spain – this trend accelerated
in the second quarter; the restructuring of our Russian operations in the later
part of fiscal 2010 – zero revenues in the current quarter compared to $833 in
the prior period; the restructuring of direct to consumer sales in the
US which had contributed $295 of revenues in the prior period; sharp
declines in revenue in Brazil, partly attributed to difficulty in refreshing
content; and lower sales due to a new distribution arrangement in
Germany.

“Advertising”

derived from the sale of advertising inventory within our mobile sites, and from
the monetization and mediation of traffic through our mobile sites. Building a

growth in our core advertising business which was offset by reductions in

UK.

Financial
Condition
Assets
Our
current assets related to continuing operations totaled $5.9 million and $5.8
million at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Total assets
related to continuing operations were $22.5 million and $22.8 million at
September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in both
current and total assets is primarily due to lower receivables
balances.
Liabilities
and Working Capital
At
September 30, 2010, our total liabilities related to continuing operations were
$12.3 million, compared to $34.1 million at March 31, 2010.
The
change in liabilities was related to the reduction in debt as part of the AMV
disposal transaction. The Company had negative working capital of $2.5 million
at September 30, 2010 and negative working capital of $28.3 million at March 31,
2010 as a result of the timing of both the reduction in debt and the
reclassification of debt from short term to long term,
respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Twistbox
has incurred losses and negative annual cash flows since inception, although the
operating loss has narrowed in the most recent several quarters. The
primary sources of liquidity have historically been issuance of common and
preferred stock, and in the case of Twistbox, borrowings under credit
facilities. In the future, we anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity
will be cash generated by our operating activities, further borrowings or
further capital raises.
Operating
Activities
In the
period ended September 30, 2010, we generated $0.5 million of net cash, flowing
from the overall profit of $0.4 million as well as increases in accrued license
fees of $0.4 million and decreases in accounts receivable of $2.9 million,
offset by a $0.5 decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities. In addition
there were non-cash stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization
amounting to $1.0 million and a non-cash gain on disposal of subsidiary
amounting to $4.3 million. Cash was generated from the $2.5 million in proceeds
from the new Senior Debt, offset by $1.4 million cash used in investing
activities – primarily $0.9 in transaction costs and $0.6 million in cash that
remained with the disposed subsidiary. In the period ended September 30,
2009, we used $3.1 million of net cash. This primarily related to the net loss
of $1.0 million, and reductions in accounts payable/accrued license fees/other
liabilities of $2.0 million, partially offset by non cash stock based
compensation and depreciation and amortization.
As of
September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $2.4 million of cash. The
Company’s cash requirements in the future will be dependent on curtailing cash
burn due to operational losses, and specific actions taken to improve cash flow,
including operational restructuring. We may require additional cash resources
for working capital, or due to changed business conditions or other future
developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.
If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek
to sell additional debt securities or additional equity securities or to obtain
a credit facility. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity
securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The
incurrence of increased indebtedness would result in additional debt service
obligations and could result in additional operating and financial covenants
that would restrict our operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that
any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at
all.
Debt
obligations include interest payments under the new Senior Debt facility, and
also under the Amended ValueAct Note. Under both facilities the Company may
elect to add interest to the principal, until 18 months following June 21, 2010,
with the full amount payable at the end of the term. The Company’s operating
lease obligations include non-cancelable operating leases for the Company’s
office facilities in several locations, expiring in various years through
2012.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such
as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities,
which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance
sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In
addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not
entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to
any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had
engaged in such relationships.
35
Stock
Sales and Liquidity
On August
3, 2006, we increased our authorized shares of common stock from 19,000,000 to
100,000,000 and authorized and effectuated a 2.5 to 1 stock split of our common
stock to increase our outstanding shares from 4,000,000 to 10,000,000. All share
and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of
the stock split.
On
September 14, 2006, we sold 2,800,000 units; on October 12, 2006, we sold
3,400,000 units; and on December 26, 2006, we sold 530,000 units. Each unit
sold, at a price per unit of $1.00, consisted of one share of our common stock
and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. We realized net
proceeds of $6,057,000 after the costs of the offering. The warrants had an
exercise price of $2.00 per share and expired as follows: 2,800,000 warrants
expired in September 2008, 3,400,000 warrants expired in October 2008, and
530,000 warrants expired in December 2008.
On
October 12, 2006, we entered into a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement with Trinad Management, LLC (“Trinad Management”). Pursuant
to the terms of the agreement, Trinad Management purchased 100,000 shares of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series A
Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. Series A
Preferred stockholders are entitled to convert, at their option, all or any
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into the number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of common stock equal to the number obtained by dividing
the original purchase price of such Series A Preferred Stock, plus the amount of
any accumulated but unpaid dividends as of the conversion date, by the original
purchase price (subject to certain adjustments) in effect at the close of
business on the conversion date. The fair value of the 100,000 shares of our
common stock underlying the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was $1.425 per
share at the date of grant. Since the value was $0.425 lower than the fair value
of our common stock on October 12, 2006, the $42,500 intrinsic value of the
conversion option resulted in the reduction of stockholders’ equity for the
recognition of a preferred stock dividend and an increase to additional paid-in
capital.
On July
24, 2007, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with certain investors,
pursuant to which such investors agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of
5,000,000 shares of our common stock. Each share of common stock was sold at the
price of $0.50, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. In
September, October and December 2007, warrants to purchase 625,000 shares of
common stock were exercised in a cashless exchange for 239,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock based on the average closing price of the Company’s
common stock for the five days prior to the exercise date.
As
described above, pursuant to the Merger, we issued 10,180,292 shares of NeuMedia
common stock as part of the merger consideration in connection with the Merger.
Such issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration permitted
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In
addition, also in connection with the Merger, on February 12, 2008, we entered
into non-qualified stock option agreements with certain of our directors and
officers under the Plan whereby we issued options to purchase an aggregate of
1,700,000 shares of our common stock to Ian Aaron, former Chief Executive
Officer of Twistbox and former director of the Company, Russell Burke, Chief
Financial Officer of Twistbox and the Company, David Mandell, Executive
Vice-President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Twistbox and Patrick
Dodd, former Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing of Twistbox,
each of whom received an option to purchase 600,000 shares, 350,000 shares,
450,000 shares and 300,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock. The
options have a ten-year term and are exercisable at a price of $4.75 per share.
The options become exercisable over a two-year period, with one-third of the
options granted vesting immediately upon grant, an additional one-third vesting
on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining one-third on
the second anniversary of the date of grant. The options were granted pursuant
to the exemption from registration permitted under Rule 506 of Regulation D of
the Securities Act.
In April
and June 2008, warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock were
exercised in a cashless exchange for 217,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the
five days prior to the exercise date. On June
18, 2008, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 1,500,000
shares of common stock of the Company to four directors under the Plan. The
options have a ten year term and are exercisable at a price of $2.75 per share,
with one-third of the options granted vesting immediately upon grant, one-third
vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining
one-third vesting on the second anniversary of the date of grant.
As
described above, pursuant to the AMV Acquisition, on October 23, 2008, we
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors identified
therein, pursuant to which NeuMedia agreed to sell to the investors in a private
offering an aggregate of 1,685,394 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase 842,697 shares of common stock for gross proceeds to the Company of
$4,500,000. The warrants have a five year term and an exercise price of $2.67
per share. The funds were held in an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow
Agreement, dated October 23, 2008 and were released to NeuMedia on or about
November 8, 2008.
Also as
described above, in connection with the AMV Acquisition, on October 23, 2008,
NeuMedia and ValueAct entered into an allonge to each of those certain warrants
issued to ValueAct in connection with the Merger, which, among other things,
amended the exercise price of each of the warrants to $4.00 per
share.
In
October 2008, warrants to purchase 2,300,000 shares of common stock were
exercised in a cashless exchange for 286,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the
five days prior to the exercise date.
In
September 2009, the Company granted warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of
common stock of the Company a vendor. The warrants are exercisable at $1.25 per
share, through September 23, 2014 and were valued at $134,000 at the time of
issue.
In
connection with the restructuring described above, on June 21, 2010 561,798
shares of common stock held by ValueAct were cancelled, and 3,540,574 shares
held by Cresswell and MacLeitch were acquired by the Company at a price of $0.02
per share. In addition, a total of 2,185,000 warrants held by ValueAct were
cancelled.
36
On August
9, 2010, 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to Paul
Schaeffer, a director of the Company, as compensation for services rendered to
the Company, including, but not limited to: (i) serving as interim Chief
Executive Officer, and (ii) leading and managing negotiations for the Company’s
settlement with ValueAct SmallCap Master Fund and others.
Revenues
The
discussion herein regarding our future operations pertain to the results and
operations of Twistbox. Twistbox has historically generated and expects to
continue to generate the vast majority of its revenues from mobile phone
carriers that market and distribute its content. These carriers generally charge
a onetime purchase fee or a monthly subscription fee on their subscribers’ phone
bills when the subscribers download Twistbox’s games to their mobile phones. The
carriers perform the billing and collection functions and generally remit to
Twistbox a contractual percentage of their collected fee for each game. Twistbox
recognizes as revenues the percentage of the fees due to it from the carrier.
End users may also initiate the purchase of Twistbox’s games through various
Internet portal sites or through other delivery mechanisms, with carriers or
third parties being responsible for billing, collecting and remitting to
Twistbox a portion of their fees. To date, Twistbox’s international revenues
have been much more significant than its domestic revenues.
We
believe that improving quality and greater availability of 2.5, 3G and 4G
handsets and “smartphones” is in turn encouraging consumer awareness and demand
for high quality content on their mobile devices. At the same time the direct
access to content provided by smartphones is providing challenges to the
carriers as their subscribers are go beyond the “walled garden” of their on-deck
portals. As part of this process, carriers and branded content owners are
focusing on a small group of publishers that have the ability to provide
high-quality mobile content consistently and port it rapidly and
cost-effectively to a wide variety of handsets. Additionally, branded content
owners are seeking publishers that have the ability to distribute content
globally through relationships with most or all of the major carriers. We
believe Twistbox has created the requisite development and porting technology
and has achieved the scale to operate at this level. We also believe that
leveraging carrier and content owner relationships will allow us to grow our
revenues without corresponding percentage growth in our infrastructure and
operating costs. Our revenue growth rate will depend significantly on continued
growth in the mobile content market and our ability to leverage our distribution
and content relationships, as well as to continue to expand. Our ability to
attain profitability will be affected by the extent to which we must incur
additional expenses to expand our sales, marketing, development, and general and
administrative capabilities to grow our business. The largest component of our
expenses is personnel costs. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits and
incentive compensation, including bonuses and stock-based compensation, for our
employees. Our operating expenses will continue to grow in absolute dollars,
assuming our revenues continue to grow. As a percentage of revenues, we
generally expect these expenses to decrease as revenues grow. Many new mobile
handset models are released in the fourth calendar quarter to coincide with the
holiday shopping season. Because many end users download our content soon after
they purchase new handsets, we may experience seasonal sales increases based on
this key holiday selling period. However, due to the time between handset
purchases and content purchases, much of this holiday impact may occur in our
March quarter. For a variety of reasons, we may experience seasonal sales
decreases during the summer, particularly in Europe, which is predominantly
reflected in our September quarter. In addition to these possible seasonal
patterns, our revenues may be impacted by new or changed carrier deals, and by
changes in the manner that our major carrier partners marketing our content on
their deck. Initial spikes in revenues as a result of successful launches or
campaigns may create further aberrations in our revenue patterns.
Cost
of Revenues
Twistbox’s
cost of revenues historically, and our cost of revenues going forward, consists
primarily of royalties that we pay to content owners from which we license
brands and other intellectual property. In addition, certain other direct costs
such as quality assurance (“QA”), use of short codes, external development
costs, billing setup fees, and prizing costs are included in cost of revenues.
Our cost of revenues also includes noncash expenses—amortization of certain
acquired intangible assets, and any impairment of guarantees. We generally do
not pay advance royalties to licensors. Where we acquire rights in perpetuity or
for a specific time period without revenue share or additional fees, we record
the payments made to content owners as prepaid royalties on our balance sheet
when payment is made to the licensor. We recognize royalties in cost of revenues
based upon the revenues derived from the relevant game multiplied by the
applicable royalty rate. If applicable, we will record an impairment of prepaid
royalties or accrue for future guaranteed royalties that are in excess of
anticipated recoupment. At each balance sheet date, we perform a detailed review
of prepaid royalties and guarantees that considers multiple factors, including
forecasted demand, anticipated share for specific content providers, development
and launch plans, and current and anticipated sales levels. We expense the costs
for development of our content prior to technological feasibility as we incur
them throughout the development process, and we include these costs in product
development expenses.
Gross
Margin
Our gross
margin going forward will be determined principally by the mix of content that
we deliver, and the costs of distribution. Our games based on licensed
intellectual property requires us to pay royalties to the licensor and the
royalty rates in our licenses vary significantly. Our own in-house developed
games, which are based on our own intellectual property, require no royalty
payments to licensors. For lifestyle business, branded content requires royalty
payment to the licensors, generally on a revenue share basis, while for acquired
content we amortize the cost against revenues, and this will generally result in
a lower cost associated with it. There are multiple internal and external
factors that affect the mix of revenues between games and lifestyle content, and
among licensed, developed and acquired content within those categories,
including the overall number of licensed games and developed games available for
sale during a particular period, the extent of our and our carriers’ marketing
efforts for each type of content, and the deck placement of content on our
carriers’ mobile handsets. We believe the success of any individual game during
a particular period is affected by the recognizability of the title, its
quality, its marketing and media exposure, its overall acceptance by end users
and the availability of competitive games. In the case of Play for Prizes games,
this is further impacted by its suitability to “tournament” play and the prizes
available. For other content, we believe that success is driven by the carrier’s
deck placement, the rating of the content, by quality and by brand recognition.
If our product mix shifts more to licensed games or games with higher royalty
rates, our gross margin would decline. For other content as we increase scale,
we believe that we will have the opportunity to move the mix towards higher
margin acquired product. Our gross margin is also affected by direct costs such
as charges for mobile phone short codes, and QA, and by periodic charges for
impairment of intangible assets and of prepaid royalties and guarantees. These
charges can cause gross margin variations, particularly from quarter to
quarter.

Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses going forward will primarily include product development
expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Our product development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for
employees working on creating, developing, editing, programming, porting,
quality assurance, carrier certification and deployment of our content, on
technologies related to interoperating with our various mobile phone carriers
and on our internal platforms, payments to third parties for developing our
content, and allocated facilities costs. We devote substantial resources to the
development, supporting technologies, porting and quality assurance of our
content. We believe that developing games internally through our own development
studios allows us to increase operating margins, leverage the technology we have
developed and better control game delivery. Games development may encompass
development of a game from concept through deployment or adaptation or
rebranding of an existing game. For acquired content, typically we will receive
content from our licensors which must be edited for mobile phone users, combined
with other appropriate content, and packaged for end consumers. The process is
made more complex by the need to deliver content on multiple carriers’ platforms
and across a large number of different handsets.
Sales and
Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses historically, and our sales and
marketing expenses going forward, will consist primarily of salaries, benefits
and incentive compensation for sales, business development, project management
and marketing personnel, expenses for advertising, trade shows, public relations
and other promotional and marketing activities, expenses for general business
development activities, travel and entertainment expenses and allocated
facilities costs. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute
terms with the growth of our business and as we further promote our content and
expand our carrier network.
General and
Administrative.
Our general and administrative expenses historically, and going forward,
will consist primarily of salaries and benefits for general and administrative
personnel, consulting fees, legal, accounting and other professional fees,
information technology costs and allocated facilities costs. We expect that
general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute terms as we hire
additional personnel and incur costs related to the anticipated growth of our
business and our operation as a public company. We also expect that these
expenses will increase because of the additional costs to comply with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulation, our efforts to expand our
international operations and, in the near term, additional accounting costs
related to our operation as a public company.
Amortization of
Intangible Assets.
We will record amortization of acquired intangible assets that are
directly related to revenue-generating activities as part of our cost of
revenues and amortization of the remaining acquired intangible assets, such as
customer lists and platform, as part of our operating expenses.
We will
record intangible assets on our balance sheet based upon their fair value at the
time they are acquired. We will determine the fair value of the intangible
assets using a contribution approach. We will amortize the amortizable
intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives of three to five years.
Estimates
and Assumptions
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Income
Taxes
We
provide for deferred income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and the tax
effect of net operating loss carry-forwards. A valuation allowance has been
provided as it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be
realized.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
See “Note
2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements ” in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements in Part 1, Item 1
Interest
Rate and Credit Risk
Our
current operations have exposure to interest rate risk that relates primarily to
our investment portfolio. All of our current investments are classified as cash
equivalents or short-term investments and carried at cost, which approximates
market value. We do not currently use or plan to use derivative financial
instruments in our investment portfolio. The risk associated with fluctuating
interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio, and we do not believe
that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on our
interest income, operating results or liquidity.
Currently,
our cash and cash equivalents are maintained by financial institutions in
the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, Argentina and Colombia
and our current deposits are likely in excess of insured limits. We believe that
the financial institutions that hold our investments are financially sound and,
accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments. Our
accounts receivable primarily relate to revenues earned from domestic and
international mobile phone carriers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of
our carriers’ financial condition but generally require no collateral from
them. As of September 30, 2010, our largest customer (in multiple
territories) represented approximately 45% of our gross accounts receivable
outstanding.
38
Foreign
Currency Risk
The
functional currencies of our United States and German operations are the United
States Dollar, or USD, and the Euro, respectively. A significant portion of our
business is conducted in currencies other than the USD or the Euro. Our revenues
are usually denominated in the functional currency of the carrier. Operating
expenses are usually in the local currency of the operating unit, which
mitigates a portion of the exposure related to currency fluctuations.
Intercompany transactions between our domestic and foreign operations are
denominated in either the USD or the Euro. At month-end, foreign
currency-denominated accounts receivable and intercompany balances are marked to
market and unrealized gains and losses are included in other income (expense),
net. Our foreign currency exchange gains and losses have been generated
primarily from fluctuations in the Euro and pound sterling versus the USD and in
the Euro versus the pound sterling. In the future, we may experience foreign
currency exchange losses on our accounts receivable and intercompany receivables
and payables. Foreign currency exchange losses could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
