MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except share amounts)
(Unaudited, in thousands, except share amounts)
1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements present the financial results of Majesco Entertainment
Company and Majesco Europe Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary, (Majesco or the Company) on a
consolidated basis.
The Company is a provider of video game products primarily for the family-oriented,
mass-market consumer. It sells its products primarily to large retail chains, specialty retail
stores, and distributors. It publishes video games for major current generation interactive
entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendos DS, DSi and Wii, Sonys PlayStation 3, or
PS3, and PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsofts Xbox 360 and the personal computer, or PC. It
also publishes games for numerous digital platforms, including mobile platforms such as iPhone,
iPad and iPod Touch, as well as online platforms such as Facebook.
The Companys video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price
points. Due to the larger budget requirements for developing and marketing premium console titles
for core gamers, the Company focuses on publishing casual games targeting mass-market consumers. In
some instances, its titles are based on licenses of well-known properties and, in other cases based
on original properties. The Company enters into agreements with content providers and video game
development studios for the creation of its video games.
The Companys operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are
developed and sold domestically and internationally. The Company may also enter into agreements
with licensees, particularly for sales of its products internationally. The Company is centrally
managed and its chief operating decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use
consolidated and other financial information supplemented by sales information by product category,
major product title and platform for making operational decisions and assessing financial
performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in a single segment.
Net revenues by geographic region were as follows:

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Companys financial results are
impacted by the seasonality of the retail selling season and the timing of the release of new
titles. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at October 31, 2010 has been derived from
the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes for the year
ended October 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on January
31, 2011.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue upon the shipment of its products when:
(1) title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection
of related accounts receivable is probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street
date (the earliest date these products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these
products is not recognized prior to their street date. Some of the Companys software products
provide limited online features at no additional cost to the consumer. Generally, such features
have been considered to be incidental to the Companys overall product offerings and an
inconsequential deliverable. Accordingly, the Company does not defer any revenue related to
products containing these limited online features. However, in instances where online features or
additional functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to the software
product, such characteristics will be taken into account when applying the Companys revenue
recognition policy.
The Company generally sells its products on a no-return basis, although in certain instances,
the Company provides price protection or other allowances on certain unsold products. Price
protection, when granted and applicable, allows customers a partial credit
6
Table of Contents
against amounts they owe the Company with respect to merchandise unsold by them. Revenue is
recognized, and accounts receivable is presented, net of estimates of these allowances.
The Company estimates potential future product price protection and other allowances related
to current period product revenue. The Company analyzes historical experience, current sell through
of retailer inventory of the Companys products, current trends in the video game market, the
overall economy, changes in customer demand and acceptance of the Companys products and other
related factors when evaluating the adequacy of price protection and other allowances.
Sales incentives or other consideration given by the Company to customers that are considered
adjustments of the selling price of its products, such as rebates and product placement fees, are
reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs
incurred by the Company for benefits received, such as the appearance of the Companys products in
a customers national circular ad, are reflected as selling and marketing expenses, in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-50, Customer Payments and Incentives.
In addition, some of the Companys software products are sold exclusively as downloads of
digital content for which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue
from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all
other recognition criteria are met).
We operate hosted online games in which players can play for free and purchase virtual goods
for use in the games. We recognize revenues from the sale of virtual goods as service revenues over
the estimated period in which players use the goods in the game. We currently estimate these
periods of use to be three to four months. We will periodically assess our estimates for this
period of use and future increases or decreases in these estimates will affect our recognized
revenues prospectively. We also recognize advertising revenue related to advertising placed on our
game sites as ads are served.
The Company records revenue for distribution agreements where it is acting as an agent as
defined by ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, Subtopic 45, Principal Agent Considerations, on a
net basis. When the Company enters into license or distribution agreements that provide for
multiple copies of games in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized in accordance
with the terms of the agreements, generally upon delivery of a master copy, assuming our
performance obligations are complete and all other recognition criteria are met, or as per-copy
royalties are earned on sales of games. Royalty revenue from sales by our distribution partner in
Europe amounted to $2,521 in the three months ended July 31, 2011, or approximately 13% of total
revenue. Royalty revenue amounted to less than 10% of total revenue in other periods presented.
Inventory. Inventory, which consists primarily of finished goods, is stated at the lower of
cost as determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. The Company estimates the net
realizable value of slow-moving inventory on a title-by-title basis and charges the excess of cost
over net realizable value to cost of sales. In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, such
charges to cost of sales amounted to $743 and $1,612, respectively, based on current estimates of
net realizable value. Such estimates may change and additional charges may be incurred until the
related inventory items are sold.
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include
fees in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers and licensors.
Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is
established and management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For
products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle.
Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software
development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development
costs. Commencing upon a related products release capitalized software development costs and
prepaid license fees are amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of
current revenue to total projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected
marketable life of the product.
Prepaid license fees represent license fees to owners for the use of their intellectual
property rights in the development of the Companys products. Minimum guaranteed royalty payments
for intellectual property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (prepaid license fees) and a
current liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the
contract or when specified milestones or events occur and when no significant performance remains
with the licensor. Licenses are expensed to cost of sales at the higher of (i) the contractual
royalty rate based on actual sales or (ii) an effective rate based upon total projected revenue
related to such license. Capitalized software development costs are classified as non-current if
they relate to titles for which the Company estimates the release date to be more than one year
from the balance sheet date.
The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is
usually no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or
revised forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the
charge to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of
capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the
expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate. When, in managements
estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, the
Company expenses these capitalized costs to cost of sales-software development costs and license
fees future release, in
7
Table of Contents
the period such a determination is made. These expenses may be incurred prior to a games
release for games that have been developed. If a game is cancelled prior to completion of
development and never released to market, the amount is expensed to general and administrative
expenses. If the Company was required to write off licenses, due to changes in market conditions or
product acceptance, its results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Costs of developing online free-to-play social games, including payments to third-party
developers are expensed as research and development expenses. Revenue from these games is largely
dependent on players future purchasing behavior in the game and currently the Company cannot
reliably project that future net cash flows from developed games will exceed related development
costs.
Prepaid license fees and milestone payments made to the Companys third party developers are
typically considered non-refundable advances against the total compensation they can earn based
upon the sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensation earned
beyond the milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the disclosure of gain or loss
contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these
financial statements are price protection and customer allowances, the valuation of inventory and
the recoverability of advance payments for software development costs and intellectual property
licenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income (Loss) Per Share. Basic income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing
net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding for the period. Basic income (loss) per share excludes the impact of
unvested shares of restricted stock issued as long term incentive awards to directors, officers and
employees. Diluted income per share reflects the potential impact of common stock options and
unvested shares of restricted stock and outstanding common stock purchase warrants that have a
dilutive effect under the treasury stock method.
Reclassifications. For comparability, certain 2010 amounts have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2011.
Commitments and Contingencies. The Company records a liability for commitments and
contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.
Concentrations. The Company develops and distributes video game software for proprietary
platforms under licenses from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, which must be periodically renewed. The
Companys agreements with these manufacturers also grant them certain control over the supply and
manufacturing of the Companys products. In addition, in the three and nine months ended July 31,
2011, sales of the Companys Zumba Fitness game accounted for approximately 80% and 70% of
revenues, respectively. We license the rights to publish these games from a third party and have
rights to publish other Zumba Fitness games. If the new versions are not successful, this may have
a significant impact on our future revenues. In addition, if these arrangements are disrupted, the
Companys operations could be adversely affected. In the nine months ended July 31, 2010, the
Companys Cooking Mama games accounted for 50% of revenues.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value In May 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC 820-10, Measuring Liabilities at
Fair Values. The update to ASC 820-10 clarifies the application of fair value standards in certain
circumstances and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements within Level 3,
including sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs. The update will become effective for the
Company on November 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the update
on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Comprehensive Income In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC 220, Comprehensive
Incomes. The update to ASC 220 establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of
comprehensive income. The update will become effective for the Company on November 1, 2012. The
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on its financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows.

The Company has outstanding warrants that may require settlement by transferring assets under
certain change of control circumstances. These warrants are classified as liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheet. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.04 per share and expire in
September 2012. The Company measures the fair value of the warrants at each balance sheet date,
using the Black-Scholes method, and a gain or loss is recorded in earnings each period as change in
fair value of warrants.

A summary of the changes to the Companys warrant liability, as measured at fair value on a

In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, upon exercise of 60,706 and 598,440,
respectively, of the warrants outstanding, the warrant liability associated with those warrants,
amounting to $106 and $1,042 respectively, was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due from
factor, and advances from customers are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of their
short-term maturity.
4. INCOME TAXES
The federal and state income tax provisions recorded by the Company for the three and nine
months ended July 31, 2011 reflect the use of available net operating loss carryforwards to offset
taxable income. NOL carryforwards available for income tax purposes at July 31, 2011 amount to
approximately $71 million for federal income taxes and approximately $24 million for certain state
income taxes. Due to the Companys history of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully
offset NOLs and other deferred tax assets has been established under current accounting
pronouncements and this valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence
exists to support its reversal.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, the Company recorded an income tax benefit related to
proceeds of $1,656 received in January 2010 from the sale of the rights to approximately $21,200 of
New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology Business Tax
Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Infringement claim
In July 2011, a claim was made against Microsoft and certain game publishers, including the
Company, that have released games for Microsofts Kinect for Xbox 360, alleging patent infringement
and seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The Company intends to defend itself against
the claim and believes it has third-party indemnity rights that may cover certain costs to the
Company. The Company cannot currently estimate a potential range of loss if the claim against the
Company is successful.
Workforce reduction
During January 2010, Company management initiated a plan of restructuring to better align its
workforce to its revised operating plans. As part of the plan, the Company reduced its personnel
count by 16 employees, then representing 17% of its workforce. The Company recorded charges of
approximately $403 in the nine months ended July 31, 2010 in connection with the terminations,
which consisted primarily of severance and unused vacation payments. The expenses were included in
operating costs and expenses as shown in the table below:

reduction.
14. RELATED PARTIES
The Company currently has an agreement with Morris Sutton, the Companys former Chief
Executive Officer and father of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, under which he provides
services as a consultant. The agreement provides for a monthly retainer of $13. Mr. Sutton was also
eligible to receive a commission in an amount equal to 2% of net sales to certain accounts before
January 1, 2010. Commissions were recorded when the sales occurred, but not paid until collection
of the related accounts receivable from customers. Therefore, some of these payments were made to
Mr. Sutton in 2010.
The following table summarizes expenses related these agreements with Mr. Sutton:

MSI Entertainment, a company controlled by Morris Sutton, acted as an agent for the Company in
sales to a distributor. The titles, for which the Company had no other planned distribution, were
paid for in advance by the distributor. In the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company paid
MSI a fee of $78 in connection with the sales.
The Company also has an agreement with a member of its board of directors to provide specified
strategic consulting services, in addition to his services as a board member, on a month-to-month
basis at a monthly rate of $10. Under this arrangement, fees earned in the three and nine months
ended July 31, 2011 totaled $30 and $90, respectively. Fees earned in the three and nine months
ended July 31, 2010 totaled $30 and $43, respectively.

15. PURCHASE OF ASSETS
On June 3, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Quick
Hit, Inc. (Quick Hit), a developer and operator of online games. The aggregate purchase price
paid was approximately $837 in cash. The Company also entered into an exclusive license agreement
with a senior lender to Quick Hit for the source code to an online interactive football game, with
options to extend the license and purchase the game at the end of the license period. If exercised
by the Company, extension and option payments of $125, $125 and $60 are due in September 2011,
December 2011 and September 2012, respectively.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination pursuant to ASC 805,
Business Combinations, and as such the Quick Hit assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
recorded at their estimated respective fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was recorded as
Goodwill. The Company acquired certain key operating assets as well as the Quick Hit development
team to execute on its social games strategy. The Company believes the team can enhance its
ability to build, deploy and monetize online games. These factors contributed to a purchase price
in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The acquisition was
financed with available cash on hand. The Company made significant assumptions and estimates in
determining the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, which are subject to change during
the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as the Company finalizes the
valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection
with the acquisition.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

In accordance with ASC 805, the following supplemental pro forma consolidated financial
information is provided using historical data of Quick Hit, Inc. and of the Company, adjusted for
the application of the acquisition method of accounting as if the acquisition had occurred on
November 1, 2009 for the three and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and on November 1, 2010
for the three and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011.
Quick Hit was originally formed in 2008 to develop and operate a series of online,
head-to-head sports games (e.g. football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer) with aspects of
massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) and 3D technology. Between 2009 and 2011,
Quick Hit revised its business plan to focus resources on adding features to its football game
launched in 2009, delayed its schedule of future releases and reduced its workforce from over 30 in
2009 to 12 by June 2011. The Company intends to utilize this workforce to operate its social games
strategy and reduce its subcontracted development costs. Accordingly, the supplemental pro forma
financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the Companys consolidated
results of operations that would have been reported had the Quick Hit acquisition been completed as
of the dates presented, and should not be taken as a representation of the Companys future
consolidated results of operations or financial position. The unaudited pro forma information also
does not reflect any operating efficiencies and associated cost savings that the Company may
achieve with respect to the combined companies.

In both the three and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011, net revenues and net losses
related to the former Quick Hit operations amounted to approximately $77 and $540, respectively.
In connection with the transaction, the Company hired 12 employees of Quick Hit, representing
substantially all of its personnel. In addition, the Company issued 170,652 shares of restricted
common stock as part of the inducement and retention of employees. The shares of restricted common
stock have a transaction-date fair value of $524, which will be recognized as stock-based
compensation expense as the shares vest at the rate of one-third of the shares granted every six
months over the 18 month period following June 3, 2011.

Overview
We are a provider of video game products primarily for the family-oriented, mass-market
consumer. We sell our products primarily to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, and
distributors. We publish video games for almost all major current generation interactive
entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendos DS, DSi and Wii, Sonys PlayStation 3, or
PS3, and PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsofts Xbox 360 and the personal computer, or PC. We
also publish games for numerous digital platforms, including mobile platforms such as iPhone, iPad
and iPod Touch, as well as online platforms such as Facebook.
Our video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points. Due to
the larger budget requirements for developing and marketing premium console titles for core gamers,
we focus on publishing more casual games targeting mass-market consumers. In some instances, our
titles are based on licenses of well-known properties and, in other cases based on original
properties. We collaborate and enter into agreements with content providers and video game
development studios for the creation of our video games.
Our operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed
and sold domestically and internationally. The Company is centrally managed and our chief operating
decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and other financial
information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform
for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, we operate in a
single segment.
Net Revenues. Our revenues are principally derived from sales of our video games. We provide
video games primarily for the mass market and casual game player. Our revenues are recognized net
of estimated reserves for price protection and other allowances.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists of product costs and amortization and impairment of
software development costs and license fees. A significant component of our cost of sales is
product costs. Product costs are comprised primarily of manufacturing and packaging costs of the
disc or cartridge media, royalties to the platform manufacturer and manufacturing and packaging
costs of peripherals and accessories. In cases where we act as a distributor for other publishers
products, cost of sales may increase as we acquire products at a higher fixed wholesale price.
While product costs as a percentage of revenue are higher on these products, we do not incur
upfront development and licensing fees or resulting amortization of software development costs.
Commencing upon the related products release, capitalized software development and intellectual
property license costs are amortized to cost of sales. When, in managements estimate, future cash
flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, we expense these capitalized
costs to cost of sales loss on impairment of software development costs and license fees
future releases. These expenses may be incurred prior to a games release.
Gross Profit. Gross profit is the excess of net revenues over product costs and amortization
and impairment of software development and license fees. Development and license fees incurred to
produce video games are generally incurred up front and amortized to cost of sales. The recovery of
these costs and total gross profit is dependent upon achieving a certain sales volume, which varies
by title.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Product research and development expenses relate
principally to costs of third-party video game developers and related supervision, testing new
products and conducting quality assurance evaluations during the development cycle not allocated to
games for which technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred are
employee-related, may include equipment, and are not allocated to cost of sales. These costs also
include the cost to develop and maintain free to play online games which are still considered to be
in the planning stage, or for which costs cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered through
future revenues.
14
Table of Contents
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist of marketing and
promotion expenses, including television advertising, the cost of shipping products to customers
and related employee costs. Credits to retailers for trade advertising are a component of these
expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses primarily represent
employee-related costs, including corporate executive and support staff, general office expenses,
professional fees and various other overhead charges. Professional fees, including legal and
accounting expenses, typically represent the second largest component of our general and
administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a
publicly traded company, such as filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.
Loss on Impairment of Software Development Costs and License Fees Cancelled Games. Loss on
impairment of software development costs and license fees cancelled games consists of contract
termination costs, and the write-off of previously capitalized costs, for games that were cancelled
prior to their release to market. We periodically review our games in development and compare the
remaining cost to complete each game to projected future net cash flows expected to be generated
from sales. In cases where we dont expect the projected future net cash flows generated from sales
to be sufficient to cover the remaining incremental cash obligation to complete the game, we cancel
the game, and record a charge to operating expenses. While we incur a current period charge on
these cancellations, we believe we are limiting the overall loss on a game project that is no
longer expected to perform as originally expected due to changing market conditions or other
factors. Significant management estimates are required in making these assessments, including
estimates regarding retailer and customer interest, pricing, competitive game performance, and
changing market conditions.
Interest and Financing Costs. Interest and financing costs are directly attributable to our
factoring and our purchase-order financing arrangements.
Income Taxes. Income taxes consists of our provision for income taxes and proceeds from the
sale of rights to certain net operating loss carryforwards in the state of New Jersey. Utilization
of our net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation
due to the change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may
result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Due to our history
of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset our NOL and other deferred tax assets
has been established under current accounting pronouncements, and this valuation allowance will be
maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.
Seasonality and Variations in Interim Quarterly Results
Our quarterly net revenues, gross profit, and operating income are impacted significantly by
the seasonality of the retail selling season, and the timing of the release of new titles. Sales of
our catalog and other products are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal
year (ending January 31 and October 31, respectively) due to increased retail sales during the
holiday season. Sales and gross profit as a percentage of sales also generally increase in quarters
in which we release significant new titles because of increased sales volume as retailers make
purchases to stock their shelves and meet initial demand for the new release. These quarters also
benefit from the higher selling prices that we are able to achieve early in the products life
cycle. Therefore, sales results in any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected
results for subsequent quarters during the fiscal year.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.
The preparation of these consolidated 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. 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 basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could
differ materially 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 when such policies affect our reported and expected
financial results.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue upon the shipment of our product when: (1) title and
the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (3) we have no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related
accounts receivable is probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (the
earliest date these products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these products is
not recognized prior to their street date. Some of our software products provide limited online
features at no additional cost to the consumer. Generally, we have considered such features to be
incidental to our overall product offerings and an inconsequential deliverable. Accordingly, we do
not defer any revenue
15
Table of Contents
related to products containing these limited online features. However, in instances where
online features or additional functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to
the software product, such characteristics will be taken into account when applying our revenue
recognition policy. In addition, some of our software products are sold exclusively as downloads of
digital content for which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue
from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all
other recognition criteria are met).
When we enter into license or distribution agreements that provide for multiple copies of
games in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the
agreements, generally upon delivery of a master copy, assuming our performance obligations are
complete and all other recognition criteria are met, or as per-copy royalties are earned on sales
of games.
Price Protection and Other Allowances. We generally sell our products on a no-return basis,
although in certain instances, we provide price protection or other allowances on certain unsold
products in accordance with industry practices. Price protection, when granted and applicable,
allows customers a partial credit with respect to merchandise unsold by them. Revenue is recognized
net of estimates of these allowances. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs
incurred by us for benefits received, such as the appearance of our products in a customers
national circular advertisement, are generally reflected as selling and marketing expenses. We
estimate potential future product price protection and other discounts related to current period
product revenue.
Our provisions for price protection and other allowances fluctuate over periods as a result of
a number of factors including analysis of historical experience, current sell-through of retailer
inventory of our products, current trends in the interactive entertainment market, the overall
economy, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products and other related factors.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with
establishing the allowance for returns and price protection in any accounting period. However,
actual allowances granted could materially exceed our estimates as unsold products in the
distribution channels are exposed to rapid changes in consumer preferences, market conditions,
technological obsolescence due to new platforms, product updates or competing products. For
example, the risk of requests for allowances may increase as consoles pass the midpoint of their
lifecycle and an increasing number of competitive products heighten pricing and competitive
pressures. While management believes it can make reliable estimates regarding these matters, these
estimates are inherently subjective. Accordingly, if our estimates change, this will result in a
change in our reserves, which would impact the net revenues and/or selling and marketing expenses
we report. For the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, we provided allowances for
future price protection and other allowances of $2.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The
fluctuations in the provisions reflect fluctuations in gross sales and our estimates of future
price protection based on the factors discussed above.
We attempt to limit our exposure to credit risk by factoring a significant portion of our
receivables to a third party that primarily buys them without recourse. For receivables that are
not sold without recourse, we analyze our aged accounts receivables, payment history and other
factors to make a determination if collection of receivables is likely, or a provision for
uncollectible accounts is necessary.
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include
development fees, in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers.
Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is
established and management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For
products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle.
Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software
development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development
costs. Commencing upon a related products release, capitalized software development costs are
amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of current revenue to total
projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected marketable life of the product.
Prepaid license fees represent license fees to holders for the use of their intellectual
property rights in the development of our products. Minimum guaranteed royalty payments for
intellectual property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (capitalized license fees) and a
current liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the
contract or when specified milestones or events occur and when no significant performance
commitment remains with the licensor. Licenses are expensed to cost of sales at the higher of (i)
the contractual royalty rate based on actual sales or (ii) an effective rate based upon total
projected revenue related to such license.
Capitalized software development costs are classified as non-current if they relate to titles
for which we estimate the release date to be more than one year from the balance sheet date.
The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and license fees is usually
no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or revised
forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the charge
to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of
capitalized software development costs and license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the
expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate.

When, in managements estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously
capitalized costs, we expense these capitalized costs to cost of sales loss on impairment of
software development costs and license fees future releases, in the period such a determination
is made. These expenses may be incurred prior to a games release for games that have been
developed. If a game is cancelled prior to completion of development and never released to market,
the amount is expensed to operating costs and expenses loss on impairment of capitalized software
development costs and license fees cancelled games. As of July 31, 2011, the net carrying value
of our licenses and software development costs was $9.4 million. If we were required to write off
licenses or software development costs, due to changes in market conditions or product acceptance,
our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
License fees and milestone payments made to our third-party developers are typically
considered non-refundable advances against the total compensation they can earn based upon the
sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensation earned beyond the
milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.
We have expensed as research and development all costs associated with the development of
social games. We have acquired an online game in connection with the June 2011 acquisition of
selected assets of Quick Hit, Inc. and have developed and launched two additional games available
on Facebook, which have not earned significant revenues to date, and are continuing to evaluate
alternatives for future development and monetization. We have also added the former development
team of Quick Hit, Inc., to enhance our abilities in the development and operation of our social
games.
Inventory. Inventory, which consists principally of finished goods, is stated at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. We estimate the net
realizable value of slow-moving inventory on a title-by-title basis and charge the excess of cost
over net realizable value to cost of sales. Some of our inventory items are packaged with
accessories, such as belts for our Zumba games and dolls for our Babysitting Mama game. The
purchase of these accessories involves longer lead times and minimum purchase amounts, which
require us to maintain higher levels of inventory than for other games. Therefore, these items
have a higher risk of obsolescence, which we review periodically based on inventory and sales
levels. As of July 31, 2011, our net inventory balance includes an aggregate of approximately $1.6
million of accessories and games bundled with accessories.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the
grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting
period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment,
including, in the case of stock option awards, estimating expected stock volatility. In addition,
judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be
forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation
expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
Commitments and Contingencies. We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business. We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when
the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable. See Note 13 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Results of operations
Three months ended July 31, 2011 versus three months ended July 31, 2010
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2011 increased to $19.5 million
from $12.2 million in the comparable quarter last year. The increase was due to sales of Zumba
Fitness released in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 on three platforms, the Nintendo Wii, Kinect
for the Xbox 360, and Sonys Move for the Playstation. In addition, we recognized revenue from
royalties and sales of accessories related to sales of Zumba Fitness in Europe by our distribution
partner. In total, revenue from Zumba Fitness accounted for approximately 80% of total revenue in
the period. New releases affecting revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2011 included Cake
Mania 4 and Spy Kids. The three months ended July 31, 2010 reflect the release of Tetris for the
Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was $8.0 million compared
to a gross profit of $2.8 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in gross profit was
primarily attributable to increased net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2011, as
discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 41% for the three months ended July
31, 2011, compared to 23% for the three months ended July 31, 2010. The increase in gross profit as
a percentage of sales was primarily due to sales of Zumba Fitness in the United States and Europe.
We license the rights to publish Zumba Fitness in Europe to another video game publisher and
receive a royalty based on net revenues of the product. We record these revenues net in accordance
with ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition Principal Agent Considerations.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development costs increased $1.2
million to $1.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011, from $0.7 million for the
comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to development costs related to our
online games business and increased production headcount. In June 2011, we acquired assets from
Quick Hit, Inc., a developer and operator of online games, and added their former development team
to enhance our abilities in the development and operation of our social games. In addition, during
2011, we opened a second production facility in San Francisco and increased the number of producers
we have managing game development due to an increase in the number and quality of games we are
developing.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $2.3
million for the three months ended July 31, 2011, compared to $1.6 million for the three months
ended July 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased media advertising, sales
commissions and other variable costs associated with increased sales volumes, primarily due to
Zumba Fitness.
General and Administrative Expenses. For the three-month period ended July 31, 2011, general
and administrative expenses increased to approximately $2.5 million, from $2.0 million in the
three-month period ended June 30, 2010 due primarily to increases in employee compensation and
professional services.
Loss on Impairment of Software Development Costs and License Fees Cancelled Games. For the
three-month period ended July 31, 2011, loss on impairment of software development costs and
license fees cancelled games, amounted to $0.2 million compared to $0.1 million in the
prior-year period. Our games in development are subject to periodic reviews to assess game design
and changing market conditions. When we do not expect the projected future net cash flows generated
from sales to be sufficient to cover the remaining incremental cash obligation to complete a game,
we cancel the game, and record a charge to operating expenses for the carrying amount of the game.
Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was approximately
$0.9 million, compared to a loss of $1.7 million in the comparable period in 2010. As discussed
above, increased revenues and gross profits during the three months ended July 31, 2011 were
partially offset by increased development and other operating expenses and losses on impaired games
during the period.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. We have outstanding warrants that contain a
provision that may require settlement by transferring assets and are, therefore, recorded at fair
value as liabilities. We recorded a gain of $1.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011,
which reflected a decrease in the fair value of the warrants primarily based upon the decreased
market price of a share of our common stock during the period, compared to a gain of $0.2 million
for the three months ended July 31, 2010. In the nine months ended July 31, 2011, 598,440 of the
1,697,735 previously-outstanding warrants subject to remeasurement were exercised. The remaining
outstanding warrants expire in September 2012.
Income Taxes. In the three months ended July 31, 2011, our income tax expense was $0.2, which
represents our current alternative minimum tax provision and certain state income taxes and
reflects the use of available net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income. In the
three months ended July 31, 2010, no provision for income taxes was recorded due to the operating
losses in the period.
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was $1.9 million compared to a
$1.6 million loss for the three months ended July 31, 2010. As discussed above, increased revenues
and gross profits and the change in the fair value of our warrant liability more than offset
increased operating expenses.
Nine months ended July 31, 2011 versus nine months ended July 31, 2010
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 increased to $100.2 million
from $52.3 million in the comparable period last year. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011,
we released Babysitting Mama for the Nintendo Wii and Zumba Fitness on three platforms, the
Nintendo Wii, Kinect for the Xbox 360, and Sonys Move for the Playstation3. The strong performance
of the Zumba titles was primarily responsible for the increased revenues over the prior-year
period. Sales of Zumba Fitness accounted for approximately 70% of total revenue in the period.
Sales from our series of products based on Cooking Mama accounted for approximately 50% of revenue
in the nine months ended July 31, 2010.

Table of Contents
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $41.2 million compared
to a gross profit of $14.6 million in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit was
primarily attributable to increased net revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, as
discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 41% for the nine months ended July
31, 2011, compared to 28% for the nine months ended July 31, 2010. The increase in gross profit as
a percentage of sales was primarily due to sales of Zumba Fitness in the United States and Europe.
These factors were partially offset by inventory charges in the period related primarily to
Babysitting Mama. In addition, we recognized $1.0 million of losses on impairment of software
development costs and license fees in the nine months ended July 31, 2010.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development costs increased $2.8
million to $5.2 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, from $2.4 million for the
comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to costs related to our online games
business, increased production headcount, and charges incurred for development of console game
prototypes prior to reaching technological feasibility. We incurred approximately $1.0 million in
the current period for third-party development of online games for Facebook. In addition, in June
2011, we acquired assets from Quick Hit, Inc., a developer and operator of online games, and added
their former development team to enhance our abilities in the development and operation of our
social games. In addition, during 2011, we opened a second production facility in San Francisco
and increased the number of producers we have managing game development due to an increase in the
number and quality of games we are developing. The effects of these costs were partially offset by
the effects of $0.1 million severance charges recorded in the prior year.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $12.0
million for the nine months ended July 31, 2011, compared to $6.2 million for the nine months ended
July 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased media advertising and other marketing
costs associated with the launch of Zumba Fitness and Babysitting Mama, including several
television and internet advertising campaigns. Variable costs including commissions, warehousing
and freight also increased due to higher volume and, were partially offset by lower costs incurred
in Europe following our shift from a publishing and distribution model to a licensing approach,
including the effects of severance charges recorded in the prior year.
General and Administrative Expenses. For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2011, general
and administrative expenses were $8.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million from $6.4 million in the
comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in profit-based bonus
compensation recognized in the current period.
Loss on Impairment of Software Development Costs and License Fees Cancelled Games. For the
nine-month period ended July 31, 2011, loss on impairment of software development costs and license
fees cancelled games, amounted to $1.5 million compared to $0.3 million in the prior-year
period, reflecting a greater number of projects cancelled. Our games in development are subject to
periodic reviews to assess game design and changing market conditions. When we do not expect the
projected future net cash flows generated from sales to be sufficient to cover the remaining
incremental cash obligation to complete a game, we cancel the game, and record a charge to
operating expenses for the carrying amount of the game. Charges for the nine months ended July 31,
2011 included several games in development for the Sony Move platform, which totaled $0.6 million,
and other game projects totaling $0.9 million.
Operating Income. Operating income for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 was approximately
$14.3 million, an increase of $15.1 million from a $0.8 million loss in the comparable period in
2010. As discussed above, increased revenues and gross profits during the nine months ended July
31, 2011 more than offset increased sales, marketing and other operating expenses and impairments
during the period.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. We have outstanding warrants that contain a
provision that may require settlement by transferring assets and are, therefore, recorded at fair
value as liabilities. We recorded a loss of $2.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2011,
which reflected an increase in the fair value of the warrants during the period primarily as a
result of the increased market price for a share of our common stock, compared to a gain of $0.4
million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010, which reflected a decrease in the fair value of
warrants during the period.
Income Taxes. For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, we received proceeds of approximately
$1.7 million from the sale of approximately $21.2 million of New Jersey state income tax net
operating loss carryforwards under the states Technology Business Tax Certificate Program and
recorded the proceeds as an income tax benefit in the period. In the nine months ended July 31,
2011, our income tax expense represents our current alternative minimum tax provision and certain
state income taxes and reflects the use of available net operating loss carryforwards to offset
taxable income. We did not sell New Jersey loss carryforwards in the period. Any potential future
sales of New Jersey loss carryforwards that the Company may pursue will be subject to the
provisions of the tax certificate program, including an application and qualification process, and
the availability of approved funding.
Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $10.7 million compared to
$0.6 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010. As discussed above, increased revenues and
gross profits more than offset increased operating expenses, impairments and the change in the fair
market value of our warrant liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our current plan is to fund our operations through product sales. However, our operating
results may vary significantly from period to period and we have previously incurred operating
losses. We may be required to modify our plan, or seek outside sources of financing, and/or equity
sales, if our operating plan and sales targets are not met. There can be no assurance that such
funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In the event that we are unable to
negotiate alternative financing, or negotiate terms that are acceptable to us, we may be forced to
modify our business plan materially, including making reductions in game development and other
expenditures. Additionally, we are dependent on our purchase order financing and account receivable
factoring agreement to finance our working capital needs, including the purchase of inventory. If
the current level of financing was reduced or we fail to meet our operational objectives, it could
create a material adverse change in the business.
As of July 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $19.7 million and funds
available to us under our factoring and purchase order financing agreements were $3.7 million and
$10.0 million, respectively. We expect continued fluctuations in the use and availability of cash
due to the seasonality of our business, timing of receivables collections and working capital needs
necessary to finance our business.
Factoring and Purchase Order Financing.
To satisfy our liquidity needs, we factor our receivables. Under our factoring agreement, we
have the ability to take cash advances against accounts receivable and inventory of up to $20.0
million, and the availability of up to $2.0 million in letters of credit. The factor, in its sole
discretion, can reduce the availability of financing at any time. We had outstanding advances
against accounts receivable of approximately $2.8 million under our factoring agreement at July 31,
2011. We also utilize financing to provide funding for the manufacture of our products. Under an
agreement with a finance company, we have up to $10.0 million of availability for letters of credit
and purchase order financing. In connection with these arrangements, the finance company and the
factor have a security interest in substantially all of our assets.
Under the terms of our factoring agreement, we sell our accounts receivable to the factor. The
factor, in its sole discretion, determines whether or not it will accept the credit risk associated
with a receivable. If the factor does not accept the credit risk on a receivable, we may sell the
accounts receivable to the factor while retaining the credit risk. In both cases we surrender all
rights and control over the receivable to the factor. However, in cases where we retain the credit
risk, the amount can be charged back to us in the case of non-payment by the customer. The factor
is required to remit payments to us for the accounts receivable purchased from us, provided the
customer does not have a valid dispute related to the invoice. The amount remitted to us by the
factor equals the invoiced amount, adjusted for allowances and discounts we have provided to the
customer, less factor charges of 0.45 to 0.5% of the invoiced amount.
In addition, we may request that the factor provide us with cash advances based on our
accounts receivable and inventory. The factor may either accept or reject our request for advances
at its discretion. Generally, the factor allowed us to take advances in an amount equal to 70% of
net accounts receivable, plus 60% of our inventory balance, up to a maximum of $2.5 million of our
inventory balance. Occasionally, the factor allows us to take advances in excess of these amounts
for short-term working capital needs. These excess amounts are typically repaid within a 30-day
period. At July 31, 2011, we had no excess advances outstanding.
Amounts to be paid to us by the factor for any accounts receivable are offset by any amounts
previously advanced by the factor. The interest rate is prime plus 1.5%, annually, subject to a
5.5% floor. In certain circumstances, an additional 1.0% annually is charged for advances against
inventory.
Manufacturers require us to present a letter of credit, or pay cash in advance, in order to
manufacture the products required under a purchase order. We utilize letters of credit either from
a finance company or our factor. The finance company charges 1.5% of the purchase order amount for
each transaction for 30 days, plus administrative fees. Our factor provides purchase order
financing at a cost of 0.5% of the purchase order amount for each transaction for 30 days.
Additional charges are incurred if letters of credit remain outstanding in excess of the original
time period and/or the financing company is not paid at the time the products are received. When
our liquidity position allows, we will pay cash in advance instead of utilizing purchase order
financing. This results in reduced financing and administrative fees associated with purchase order
financing.
Advances from Customers. On a case by case basis, distributors and other customers have agreed
to provide us with cash advances on their orders. These advances are then applied against future
sales to these customers. In exchange for these advances, we offer these customers beneficial
pricing or other considerations.
Contingencies and Commitments. At times, we may be a party to routine claims and suits in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel,
the outcome of any current such routine claims would not have a material adverse effect on the
Companys business, financial condition, and results of operations or liquidity.
Commitments under development agreements amounted to $9.3 million at July 31, 2011, compared
to $3.3 million at July 31, 2010. In addition, certain agreements provide for minimum commitments
for marketing support.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of July 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $19.7 million as of July 31, 2011 compared to $8.0 million at
October 31, 2010 and $10.5 million at July 31, 2010. Working capital as of July 31, 2011 was $26.5
million compared to $11.6 million at October 31, 2010. Changes in cash and working capital
balances reflect operating results as well as significant seasonal factors.
Operating Cash Flows. Our principal operating source of cash is sales of our interactive
entertainment products. Our principal operating uses of cash are for payments associated with
third-party developers of our software, costs incurred to manufacture, sell and market our video
games and general and administrative expenses.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2011, we generated approximately $16.6 million in cash flow
from operating activities, compared to $4.6 million in the same period last year. The increase in
cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increased operating income in the
period, which increased $15.1 million from a $0.8 million loss in the nine months ended July 31,
2010 to $14.3 million of operating income in the nine months ended July 31, 2011. Operating income
excludes the non-cash effects of the change in our warrant liability and interest and financing
costs. Commitments under development agreements amount to $9.3 million at July 31, 2011, compared
to $3.3 million at July 31, 2010. Accordingly, cash outflows for development may increase in
future periods compared to comparable prior periods. In addition, certain agreements provide for
minimum commitments for marketing support.
Investing Cash Flows. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended July 31,
2011 increased compared to the nine months ended 2010 due to the acquisition of computer hardware,
software and other assets from Quick Hit, Inc. in June 2011. Other investing outflows in the
periods reflect primarily of purchases of computer equipment.
Financing Cash Flows. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended July 31,
2011 and 2010 primarily consisted of cash used to reduce outstanding borrowings under our purchase
order financing agreement for seasonal inventory. In the nine months ended July 31, 2011, we
received $1.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of outstanding units and warrants.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
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
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 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.
While we believe our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over
financial reporting are adequate, 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.

Table of Contents
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 effective at a
reasonable assurance level.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On July 1, 2011, a complaint for patent infringement was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware by Impulse Technology Ltd. against Microsoft
Corporation and certain other game
publisher defendants that have released games for Microsofts Kinect for Xbox 360, including the
