MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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, video game rental outlets 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 more 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:
Three Months Ended January 31, | ||||||||||||||||
2011 | % | 2010 | % | |||||||||||||
United States |
$ | 48,300 | 100 | % | $ | 27,959 | 95.7 | % | ||||||||

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
6
Table of Contents
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 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).
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.
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 the period such a determination is made. These expenses may be incurred
prior to a games release. If a game is cancelled 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.

Table of Contents
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 of America 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 Per Share. Basic income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the period. Basic income 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.
The table below provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted average shares outstanding,
after applying the treasury stock method.

The Company issued 193,331 and 57,289 shares of restricted stock during the three months ended
January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and cancelled 0 and 21,984 shares during the same
respective periods. The Company values shares of restricted stock at fair value as of the grant
date.
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Amendments to Variable Interest Entity Guidance In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASC Topic 860-10-65, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.
The standard removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity from ASC Topic 860,
Transfers and Servicing, and eliminates the exception for qualifying special purpose entities from
consolidation guidance. In addition, the standard establishes specific conditions for reporting a
transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. If a transfer does not meet established sale
conditions, the transferor and transferee must account for the transaction as a secured borrowing.
An enterprise that continues to transfer portions of a financial asset that do not meet the
established sale conditions would be eligible to record a sale only after it has transferred all of
its interest in that asset. The effective date is fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The adoption
did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
8
Table of Contents
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements In October 2009, the FASB issued new guidance
related to the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new rules amend the
existing guidance for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and establish a
selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. These new rules became
effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a
material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements In October 2009, the FASB
issued new guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements by excluding
tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to
deliver the products essential functionality and instead have these types of transactions be
accounted for under other accounting literature in order to determine whether the software and
non-software components function together to deliver the products essential functionality. These
new rules became effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2010. The
adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.
Fair Value In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC 820-10, Measuring Liabilities
at Fair Values. The update to ASC 820-10 requires disclosure of significant transfers in and out of
Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and a gross presentation of
activity within the Level 3 rollforward, presenting separately information about purchases, sales
issuances and settlements. The update to ASC 820-10 was adopted by the Company in 2010, except for
the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward, which will be adopted by the Company in fiscal
year 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact 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.
Assumptions used to determine the fair value of the warrants were:

The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due from
factor, and advances from customers are reasonable estimates of the fair values because of their
short-term maturity.
4. INCOME TAXES
The only federal income tax provision recorded by the Company for the three months ended
January 31, 2011 was for alternative minimum taxes. No other provision for income taxes has been
recorded because the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable
income. Net operating loss carryforwards available for income tax purposes at January 31, 2011
amount to approximately $75.7 million for federal income taxes and approximately $28.5 million for
state income taxes.
For the three months ended January 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.

During January 2010, the 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 three months ended January 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.
11. 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.

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 three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company
paid MSI a fee of $78 in connection with the sales.
Unpaid amounts related to these agreements were $13 and $0 as of January 31, 2011 and October
31, 2010, respectively.
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 months ended
January 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $30 and $0, respectively.

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, video
game rental outlets 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. 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 the product
costs as a percentage of revenue is 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.

Table of Contents
Product Research and Development Expenses. Product research and development expenses relate
principally to those costs of supervising third-party video game developers, 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.
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. The Company recorded no loss on impairment for cancelled games in the
three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010.
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
14
Table of Contents
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) 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 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 three-month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, we provided allowances for
future price protection and other allowances of $1.9 million and $1.0 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 limit our exposure to credit risk by factoring a portion of our receivables to a third
party that 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.
15
Table of Contents
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. If a game is cancelled 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 January 31, 2011,
the net carrying value of our licenses and software development costs was $3.5 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.
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 January 31, 2011, our inventory includes approximately $3.4 million of 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 record a liability for commitments and contingencies when
the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.
Results of operations
Three months ended January 31, 2011 versus three months ended January 31, 2010
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2011 increased to $48.5
million from $29.2 million in the comparable quarter last year. Fluctuations in first quarter
sales primarily reflect the performance of new releases in the holiday selling season. During the
three months ended January 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. Comparably, in the same period during the prior year we released two titles, both for
the Nintendo Wii and DS, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The
Squeakquel. The Zumba titles have performed particularly well at retail and primarily responsible
for the increased revenues over the prior years quarter.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2011 was $19.6 million
compared to a gross profit of $8.7 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in gross
profit was primarily attributable to increased net revenues for the three months ended January 31,
2011, as discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 41% for the three months
ended January 31, 2011, compared to 30% for the three months ended January 31, 2010. The increase
in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher pricing on some of our
products when compared to the same period in the prior year, particularly Zumba Fitness for the
Microsoft Kinect the Xbox 360. This product was released in the launch window for Microsofts
release of the Kinect platform accessory, and was sold at a retail price of $49.99. In addition,
the three months ended January 31, 2010 were affected by $0.9 million of losses on impairment of
software development costs and license fees.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development costs increased $0.3
million to $1.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2011, from $0.9 million for the
comparable period in 2010. The increase primarily resulted from the addition of production staff
and the recognition of increased profit-based compensation to existing personnel, partially offset
by the effects of severance charges recorded in the prior year.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $7.0
million for the three months ended January 31, 2011, compared to $3.1 million for the three months
ended January 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. These increases 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 three-month period ended January 31, 2011,
general and administrative expenses were $3.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million from $2.1
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.
Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2011 was
approximately $8.0 million, an increase of $5.5 million from $2.5 million in the comparable period
in 2010. As discussed above, increased revenues and gross profits during the three months ended
January 31, 2011 more than offset increased marketing and other operating expenses during the same
period.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants. 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 $0.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2011, which
reflected an increase in the fair value of the warrants during the period, compared to a gain of
$0.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2010, which reflected a decrease in the fair
value of warrants during the period.
Income Taxes. For the three months ended January 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, which was partially offset by a
provision for alternative minimum taxes. In the three months ended January 31, 2011, our income tax
expense represents our current alternative minimum tax provision. 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 three months ended January 31, 2011 was $6.8 million compared
to $3.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2010. As discussed above, increased revenues
and gross profits more than offset increased marketing and other operating expenses.

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 January 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $7.9 million and funds
available to us under our factoring and purchase order financing agreements were $8.7 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 $11.3 million under our factoring agreement at January
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 January 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of January 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $7.9 million as of January 31, 2011 compared to $8.0 million at
October 31, 2010. Working capital as of January 31, 2011 was $19.0 million compared to $11.6
million at October 31, 2010.
Operating Cash Flows. Our principal operating source of cash is sales of our interactive
entertainment products. Our principal operating uses of cash were 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 three months ended January 31, 2011, we generated approximately $5.4 million in cash
flow from operating activities, compared to $6.9 million in the same period last year. The decrease
in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to increased period-end factored
accounts receivable balances resulting from increased sales, which more than offset the effects of
increased net income, the application of advance payments for inventory existing at October 31,
2010, and other working capital changes.
Investing Cash Flows. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31,
2011 and 2010 were primarily related to purchases of computer equipment.
Financing Cash Flows. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended January
31, 2011 and 2010 consisted primarily of cash used to reduce outstanding borrowings under our
purchase order financing agreement, which was used to finance seasonal inventory purchases.
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.

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and

reasonable assurance level.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
