USA VIDEO INTERACTIVE CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
(Stated in US Dollars)
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01(a)(5) of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained for an entire year or any future periods. For further information, refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes thereto in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Presentation for prior periods has be reclassified to be consistent with current presentation. This is not considered to be a restatement.
NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has incurred loss of $92,229for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and, in addition the Company incurred losses of $811,004 and $915,918 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $39,088,330and a working capital deficit of $559,247. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations as they come due which management believes it will be able to do. To date, the Company has funded operations primarily through the issuance of common stock and warrants to outside investors and the Company's management. The Company believes that its operations will generate additional funds and that additional funding from outside investors and the Company's management will continue to be available to the Company when needed. The Company also has certain lawsuits pending which could result in additional liabilities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Basic loss per common share (EPS) is computed as net loss divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the impact of common stock potentially issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants. Potential common stock has been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The assets and liabilities of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The aggregate effect of translation adjustments is immaterial at September 30, 2010 and 2009.
During the quarter, as part of a policy of focusing the Companys activities on areas most likely to be productive, the Company dissolved inactive subsidiaries in Texas and Wyoming. In connection with closing those companies the Company recognized income from the extinguishment of debt due by those subsidiaries which was not guaranteed or owed by the parent company.
NOTE C COMMON STOCK
From July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, the company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock upon the exercising of warrants with an exercise price of $0.045 per share of common and received gross proceeds of $67,500.

NOTE D - CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The Companys patent infringement litigation against Movielink LLC came to a substantive conclusion on September 8, 2006, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed certain rulings of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware granting Movielink summary judgment of non-infringement. A further procedural determination was entered on September 26, 2007, taxing litigation costs against the Company
On September 13, 2006, USA Video Technology Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that its U.S. Patent No. 5,130,792 is infringed by cable technology interests including Time Warner, Inc., Charter Communications, Inc., and Comcast Cable Communications LLC, and seeking statutory compensation and a court injunction against further infringement. In December 2007, the court issued rulings adverse to our interests: a claim construction ruling interpreting certain terms in the patent's claims, and a related summary judgment of non-infringement. Defendants then filed motions for costs and attorney fees. The court denied defendants' motions for attorney fees and granted the motions for costs, so that we now have a remaining liability from this litigation in the amount of approximately $30,000, not counting our own remaining attorney fees and litigation expenses. Our subsidiary filed notice of appeal from the district court's adverse substantive decisions, but was unable to prosecute the appeal and so it was dismissed. USA Video Technology Corp has reported $30,000 accounts payable in fiscal year 2009. In September 2010, USA Video Technology Corp. was dissolved and the $30,000 was reported as gain on settlements of account payable.
The Company leases its United States and Canada office space under a month to month lease basis. Rent expense in the United States and Canada amounted to $32,156 and $32,115 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
NOTE E SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 123 (R) utilizing the modified prospective method. FAS No. 123 (R) requires the recognition of share-based compensation expense in the financial statements.
Under the modified prospective method, the provisions of FAS No. 123 (R) apply to all awards granted or modified on or after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of FAS 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, is in net earnings in the periods after the date of adoption. Stock based compensation consists primarily of stock options. Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Companys stock at the dates of grant. Stock options generally vest over three years and have a term of seven years. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the award.
10
The fair value for options issued was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk free rate was derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The volatility factor was determined based on our historical stock prices. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 the Company granted no options.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
A summary of the status of the Company's options and changes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 is presented below:
|

| Number of Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Remaining life | Aggregate intrinsic Value |

Options exercisable at end of period | 400,000 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2010 all options are fully vested.
NOTE F INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. Upon the adoption of FIN 48, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax benefits.
11
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. The Companys deferred tax assets were fully reserved at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general and administrative expenses. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at September 30, 2010.
The tax years 2006 through 2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.
NOTE G SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From October 1, 2010 to November 18, 2010, the company issued 1,570,000 shares of common stock from the sale of warrants at $0.045 per share.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This document includes statements that may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this document, press releases, securities filings, and all other documents and communications. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report") are forward looking. The words "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements." While we believe in the veracity of all statements made herein, forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies and known and unknown risks. As a result of such risks, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, our company. We will not necessarily update information if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including risks and uncertainties set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The following information has not been audited. You should read this information in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in this report.
OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
We design and market to business customers digital watermarking, streaming video and video-on-demand systems, services and source-to-destination digital media delivery solutions that allow live or recorded digitized and compressed video to be transmitted through Internet, intranet, satellite or wireless connectivity.

Although we have generated nominal sales for the third quarter of 2010, we continue to explore opportunities that will result in new products for new revenue streams, but there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful.
We held the patent for Store-and-Forward Video-on-Demand (#5,130,792), filed in 1990 and issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on July 14, 1992. Our patent expired in February 2010.
13

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (AND ESTIMATES)
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
14
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results:
Revenue recognition;
Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets;
Deferred taxes;
Accounting for stock-based compensation; and
Commitments and contingencies.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenue is recognized for digital water marking based on a contracted usage schedule on a monthly billing cycle. Software revenue and other services are recognized in accordance with the terms of the specific agreement, which is generally upon delivery and when accepted by customer. Maintenance, support and service revenue are recognized ratably over the term of the related agreement. In order to recognize revenue, we must not have any continuing obligations and it must also be probable that we will collect the accounts receivable.
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. Long-lived assets are reviewed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 144. Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets losses are recognized in the period the impairment or disposal occurs.
DEFERRED TAXES. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the amount may not be realized.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. We adopted SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using either the modified prospective or modified retrospective transition method. We use the modified prospective transition method, which requires that compensation cost is recognized for all awards granted, modified or settled after the effective date as well as for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date that remain unvested as of the effective date.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. We account for commitments and contingencies in accordance with financial accounting standards board Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.

Net Losses
To date, we have not achieved profitability and, we expect to incur substantial net losses for the remainder of 2009. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $92,229, compared with a net loss of $408,702 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September30, 2010, we had a cash position of $5,946, compared to $765 at December 31, 2009. We anticipate capital requirements of $700,000 for the continued development of our MediaSentinel™ products and 700,000 for commercialization of our MediaSentinel™ products.
We will require additional financing to fund current operations through fiscal 2010. We have historically satisfied our capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities. We will require an additional $0.75 million to $1.25 million to finance operations through fiscal 2010 and we intend to seek such financing through sales of our equity securities. In September 2010, we raised $67,500 through a private placement of 1,500,000 units at $.045 per unit.
Assuming the aforementioned $0.75 million to $1.25 million in financing is obtained, we believe that continuing operations for the longer term will be supported through anticipated licensing revenues and through additional sales of our securities. We have no binding commitments or arrangements for additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, or obligations that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We believe our exposure to overall foreign currency risk is not material. We do not manage or maintain market risk sensitive instruments for trading or other purposes and are not exposed to the effects of interest rate fluctuations as we do not carry any long-term debt.
We report our operations in US dollars and our currency exposure, although considered by us as immaterial, is primarily between US and Canadian dollars. Exposure to other currency risks is also not material as international transactions are settled in US dollars. Any future financing undertaken by us will be denominated in US dollars. As we increase our marketing efforts, the related expenses will be primarily in US dollars. In addition, 90% of our bank deposits are in US dollars.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
No system of controls can prevent errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of some people, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Subject to the limitations above, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not effective as a result of the weaknesses in the design of our internal control over financial reporting.
Based upon their evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are ineffective. The material weaknesses in our internal controls related to a lack of segregation of duties due to inadequate staffing within our accounting department and upper management, the assignment of authority and responsibility, lack of consistent policies and procedures, inadequate monitoring controls and inadequate disclosure controls.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
The Companys patent infringement litigation against Movielink LLC came to a substantive conclusion on September 8, 2006, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed certain rulings of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware granting Movielink summary judgment of non-infringement. A further procedural determination was entered on September 26, 2007, taxing litigation costs against the Company
On September 13, 2006, USA Video Technology Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that its U.S. Patent No. 5,130,792 is infringed by cable technology interests including Time Warner, Inc., Charter Communications, Inc., and Comcast Cable Communications LLC, and seeking statutory compensation and a court injunction against further infringement. In December 2007, the court issued rulings adverse to our interests: a claim construction ruling interpreting certain terms in the patent's claims, and a related summary judgment of non-infringement. Defendants then filed motions for costs and attorney fees. The court denied defendants' motions for attorney fees and granted the motions for costs, so that we now have a remaining liability from this litigation in the amount of approximately $30,000, not counting our own remaining attorney fees and litigation expenses. Our subsidiary filed notice of appeal from the district court's adverse substantive decisions, but was unable to prosecute the appeal and so it was dismissed. USA Video Technology Corp has reported $30,000 accounts payable in fiscal year 2009. . In September 2010, USA Video Technology Corp. was dissolved and the $30,000 was reported as gain on settlements of account payable.
The Company leases its United States and Canada office space under a month to month lease basis. Rent expense in the United States and Canada amounted to $32,156 and $32,115 for the nine months ended September 30 2010 and 2009, respectively.
