RISKFACTORS

 

Anyinvestment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below andall of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our Common Stock. Our business, financialcondition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur. Thisprospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materiallyfrom those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face as describedbelow and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

RiskRelated to Our Business

 

Ourfinancial resources are limited and we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our business.

 

Wedo not expect to generate the level of revenues going forward that we have achieved in prior years from our video game business.This significantly reduced revenue will impact our needs for future capital. We cannot ensure that additional funding will beavailable or, if it is available, that it can be obtained on terms and conditions we will deem acceptable. Any additional fundingderived from the sale of equity securities is likely to result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders. These mattersinvolve risks and uncertainties that may prevent us from raising additional capital or may cause the terms upon which we raiseadditional capital, if additional capital is available, to be less favorable to us than would otherwise be the case. If we reacha point where we are unable to raise needed additional funds to continue as a going concern, we will be forced to cease our businessactivities and dissolve the Company. In such an event, we will need to satisfy various severances, contract termination, and otherdissolution-related obligations.

 

Wehave experienced recent net losses and we may incur future net losses, which may cause a decrease in our stock price.

 

Weincurred net losses of $4.6 million in fiscal 2016 and $3.8 million in fiscal 2015. We may not be able to generate revenues sufficientto offset our costs and may sustain net losses in future periods. Any such losses may have an adverse effect on our future operatingprospects, liquidity and stock price.

 

Adecrease in the popularity of our licensed brands and, correspondingly, the video games we publish based on those brands couldnegatively impact our revenues and financial position.

 

Certaingames released in 2014 and 2015 were based upon popular licensed brands. A decrease in the popularity of our licensed propertieswould negatively impact our ability to sell games based upon such licenses and could lead to lower net sales, profitability, and/oran impairment of our licenses, which would negatively impact our profitability.

 

Aweak global economic environment could result in increased volatility in our stock price.

 

Currentuncertainty in global economic conditions poses a risk to the overall economy as consumers and retailers may defer or choose notto make purchases in response to tighter credit and negative financial news, which could negatively affect demand for our products.Additionally, due to the weak economic conditions and tightened credit environment, some of our retailers and customers may nothave the same purchasing power, leading to lower purchases of our games for placement into distribution channels. Reduced consumerdemand for our products could materially impact our operating results.

 

Terminationor modification of our agreements with platform hardware manufacturers may adversely affect our business.

 

Weare required to obtain a license in order to develop and distribute software for each of the manufacturers of video game hardware.We currently have licenses from: (i) Sony to develop products for PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4;(ii) from Nintendo to develop products for the DS, DSi, 3DS, Wii and WiiU; and (iii) from Microsoft to develop products for theXbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. These licenses must be periodically renewed, and if they are not, or if any of our licenses are terminatedor adversely modified, we may not be able to distribute any of our games on that platform or we may be required to do so on lessattractive terms.

 

8
 

 

Ourplatform licensors control the fee structures for online distribution of our games on their platforms.

 

Pursuantto the terms of certain publisher license agreements, platform licensors retain sole discretion to determine the fees to be chargedfor both base level and premium online services available via their online platforms. Each licensor’s ability to set royaltyrates makes it challenging for us to predict our costs, and increased costs may negatively impact our operating margins. As aresult of such varying fee structures, we may be unable to distribute our games in a cost-effective manner through such distributionchannels.

 

Intellectualproperty claims may increase our costs or require us to cease selling affected products, which could adversely affect our financialcondition and results of operations.

 

Developmentof original content, including publication and distribution, sometimes results in claims of intellectual property infringement.Although we make efforts to ensure our products do not violate the intellectual property rights of others, it is possible thatthird parties may still allege infringement. These claims and any litigation resulting from these claims may result in damageawards payable by us; could prevent us from selling the affected product; or require us to redesign the affected product to avoidinfringement or obtain a license for future sales of the affected product.

 

Anyof the foregoing could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any litigation resulting fromthese claims could require us to incur substantial costs.

 

Areduced workforce presents additional risk to the effectiveness of our internal controls.

 

Wehave significantly reduced our workforce. A smaller workforce impacts our ability to continue to undertake our historic businesswhich could have an impact on our ability to maintain internal controls including over financial reporting, and can affect theadequacy of our controls. We cannot be certain that our internal controls over financial reporting are or will remain effective.If we cannot adequately maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we may be subject to liabilityand/or sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Any such action could adversely affect our financialresults and the market price of Common Stock.

 

Ourreputation with consumers is critical to our success. Negative consumer perceptions about our brands, games, services and/or businesspractices may damage our business and any costs incurred in addressing consumer concerns may increase our operating expenses.

 

Individualconsumers form our ultimate customer base, and consumer expectations regarding the quality, performance and integrity of our productsand services are high. Consumers may be critical of our brands, games, services and/or business practices for a wide variety ofreasons. These negative consumer reactions may not be foreseeable or within our control to manage effectively. Actions we taketo address consumer concerns may be costly and, in any case, may not be successful. In addition, negative consumer sentiment aboutour business practices may result in inquiries or investigations from regulatory agencies and consumer groups, as well as litigation,which, regardless of their outcome, may be damaging to our reputation. Any of these may have a negative impact on our business.

 

Ifour games and services do not function as consumers expect, it may have a negative impact on our business.

 

Ifour games and services do not function as consumers expect, whether because they fail to function as advertised or otherwise,our sales may suffer. If our games and services do not function as consumers expect, it may negatively impact our business.

Ifwe are unable to sustain traditional pricing levels for our titles, our business, financial condition, results of operations,profitability, cash flows or liquidity could suffer materially.

 

Ifwe are unable to sustain traditional pricing levels for our titles, whether due to competitive pressure, because retailers electto price these products at a lower price or otherwise, it could have a negative impact on our business. Further, we make provisionsfor retail inventory price protection based upon certain assumed lowest prices and if competitive pressures force us to lowerour prices below those levels, it could similarly have a negative impact on our business.

 

Ourindustry is subject to rapid technological change, and if we do not adapt to, and appropriately allocate our new resources among,emerging technologies and business models, our business may be negatively impacted.

 

Technologychanges rapidly in the interactive entertainment industry. We must continually anticipate and adapt our products to emerging technologies,delivery platforms and business models in order to stay competitive. When we choose to incorporate a new technology into a productor to develop a product for a new platform, operating system or media format, we often are required to make a substantial investmentprior to the introduction of the product. If we invest in the development of interactive entertainment products incorporatinga new technology or for a new platform that does not achieve significant commercial success, our revenues from those productslikely will be lower than we anticipated and may not cover our development costs. Further, our competitors may adapt to an emergingtechnology or business model more quickly or effectively than we do, creating products that are technologically superior to ours,more appealing to consumers, or both. If, on the other hand, we elect not to pursue the development of products incorporatinga new technology or for new platforms, or otherwise elect not to pursue a new business model, that achieves significant commercialsuccess, it may have adverse consequences. It may take significant time and resources to shift product development resources tothat technology, platform or business model, as the case may be, and may be more difficult to compete against existing productsincorporating that technology or for that platform or against companies using that business model. Any failure to successfullyadapt to, and appropriately allocate resources among, emerging technologies could negatively impact our business.

 

Competitionwithin, and to, the interactive entertainment industry is intense, and competitors may succeed in reducing our sales.

 

Withinthe interactive entertainment industry, we compete with other publishers of interactive entertainment software developed for useon the PC, video game consoles and handheld, mobile and tablet devices or social networking sites, both within the United Statesand, increasingly, in international jurisdictions. Our competitors include very large corporations with significantly greaterfinancial, marketing and product development resources than we have. A relatively small number of titles account for a significantportion of net revenues, and an even greater portion of net profit, in the interactive entertainment industry, and the availabilityof significant financial resources is a major competitive factor in the production of high-quality products and in the marketingof products that are ultimately well-received. Our larger competitors may be able to leverage their greater financial, technical,personnel and other resources to finance larger budgets for development and marketing and make higher offers to licensors anddevelopers for commercially desirable properties as well as adopt more aggressive pricing policies to develop more commerciallysuccessful products for the PC or video game platforms than we do. In addition, competitors with large product lines and populartitles typically have greater leverage with retailers, distributors and other customers, who may be willing to promote titleswith less consumer appeal in return for access to those competitors’ more popular titles.

 

Increasedconsumer acceptance and availability of interactive entertainment developed for use by consumers on handheld, mobile and tabletdevices or social networking sites or other online games, consumer acceptance and availability of technology which allows usersto play games on televisions without consoles, or technological advances in online game software or the Internet could resultin a decline in sales of our platform-based software.

 

Additionally,we compete with other forms of entertainment and leisure activities. For example, the overall growth in the use of the Internetand online services such as social networking sites by consumers may pose a competitive threat if consumers and potential consumersspend less of their available time using interactive entertainment software and more using the Internet, including those onlineservices. Further, it is difficult to predict and prepare for rapid changes in consumer demand that could materially alter publicpreferences for different forms of entertainment and leisure activities. Failure to adequately identify and adapt to the competitivepressures described herein could negatively impact our business.

 

10
 

 

Wemay be involved in legal proceedings that may result in material adverse outcomes.

 

Fromtime to time, we may be involved in claims, suits, government investigations, audits and proceedings arising from the ordinarycourse of our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, competition and antitrust matters, privacy matters,tax matters, labor and employment matters, unclaimed property matters, compliance and commercial claims. Such claims, suits, governmentinvestigations, audits and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardlessof the outcome, such legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management resourcesand other factors. In addition, it is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could result in substantial finesand penalties, criminal sanctions, consent decrees or orders preventing us from offering certain features, functionalities, productsor services, requiring us to change our development process or other business practices.

 

Ourproducts are subject to ratings by the Entertainment Software Rating Board in the U.S. and similar agencies in international jurisdictions.Our failure to obtain our target ratings for our products could negatively impact our business.

 

TheEntertainment Software Rating Board (the “ESRB”) is a self-regulatory body based in the United States that providesconsumers of interactive entertainment software with ratings information, including information on the content in such software,such as violence, nudity or sexual content contained in software titles. The ESRB rating categories are “Early Childhood”(i.e., content is intended for young children), “Everyone” (i.e., content is generally suitable for all ages), “Everyone10+” (i.e., content is generally suitable for ages 10 and up), “Teen” (i.e., content is generally suitable forages 13 and up), “Mature” (i.e., content is generally suitable for ages 17 and up) and “Adults Only” (i.e.,content is suitable for adults ages 18 and up). Certain countries other than the United States have also established content ratingsystems as prerequisites for product sales in those countries. In some countries, a company may be required to modify its productsto comply with the requirements of the rating systems, which could delay or disrupt the release of any given product, or may preventits sale altogether in certain territories. Further, if an agency re-rates one of our games for any reason, retailers could refuseto sell it and demand that we accept the return of any unsold or returned copies or consumers could demand a refund for copiespurchased. If we are unable to obtain the ratings we have targeted for our products as a result of changes in a content ratingorganization’s ratings standards or for other reasons, it could have a negative impact on our business.

 

Ourbusiness, products, and distribution are subject to increasing regulation of content in key territories. If we do not successfullyrespond to these regulations, our business, financial condition, results of operations, profitability, cash flows or liquiditycould be materially adversely affected.

 

Legislationis continually being introduced, and litigation and regulatory enforcement actions are taking place, that may affect the way inwhich we, and other industry participants, may offer content and features, and distribute and advertise our products. For example,privacy laws and regulatory guidance in many countries impose various restrictions on online and mobile advertising, as well asthe collection, storage and use of personally identifiable information. We may be required to modify certain of our product developmentprocesses or alter our marketing strategies to comply with such regulations, which could be costly or delay the release of ourproducts. In addition, many foreign countries, such as China and Germany, have laws that permit governmental entities to restrictthe content and/or advertising of interactive entertainment software or prohibit certain types of content. Further, legislationwhich attempts to restrict marketing or distribution of such products because of the content therein has been introduced at onetime or another at the federal and state levels in the United States. There is on-going risk of enhanced regulation of interactiveentertainment marketing, content or sales. These laws and regulations vary by territory and may be inconsistent with one another,imposing conflicting or uncertain restrictions. The adoption and enforcement of legislation which restricts the marketing, contentor sales of our products in countries in which we do business may harm the sales of our products, as the products we are ableto offer to our customers and the size of the potential market for our products may be limited. Failure to comply with any applicablelegislation may also result in government-imposed fines or other penalties. Moreover, the increased public dialogue concerninginteractive entertainment may have an adverse impact on our reputation and consumers’ willingness to purchase our products.

RisksRelated to our Common Stock

 

OurRestated Certificate of Incorporation, our Restated Bylaws and Delaware law could deter a change of our management which coulddiscourage or delay offers to acquire us.

 

Certainprovisions of Delaware law and of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Restated by-laws, could discourageor make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest or other change in our management or the acquisition of control by a holderof a substantial amount of our voting stock. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish,or could deter, transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests or in our best interests.These provisions include:

 

  establishing a classified Board requiring that members of the Board be elected in different years, which lengthens the time needed to elect a new majority of the Board;
     
  authorizing the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our Board to increase the number of outstanding shares or change the balance of voting control and thwart a takeover attempt;
     
  prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow for less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and
     
  prohibiting stockholder action by written consent and requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders.

 

Wehave experienced volatility in the price of our stock and are subject to volatility in the future.

 

Theprice of our Common Stock has experienced significant volatility. The high and low bid quotations for our Common Stock, as reportedby The NASDAQ Capital Market, ranged between a high of $14.22 and a low of $2.61 during the past 24 months. The historic marketprice of our Common Stock may be higher or lower than the price paid for our shares and may not be indicative of future marketprices, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, as we have significantly reduced our videogame operations, and are seeking strategic alternatives, we cannot predict the performance of our stock. The price of our stockmay change dramatically in response to our success or failure to consummate a strategic transaction.

 

Substantialfuture sales of our Common Stock by us or by our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.

 

Additionalequity financings or other share issuances by us, including shares issued in connection with strategic alliances and corporatepartnering transactions, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Sales by existing stockholders of a largenumber of shares of our Common Stock in the public market or the perception that additional sales could occur could cause themarket price of our Common Stock to drop.

 

Wemay not be able to maintain our listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

OurCommon Stock currently trades on The NASDAQ Capital Market. This market has continued listing requirements that we must continueto maintain to avoid delisting. The standards include, among others, a minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share and anyof: (i) a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million; (ii) a market value of listed securities of $35 million; or (iii)net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in the two of the last three fiscalyears. Our results of operations and our fluctuating stock price directly impact our ability to satisfy these listing standards.In the event we are unable to maintain these listing standards, we may be subject to delisting.

 

Adelisting from NASDAQ would result in our Common Stock being eligible for quotation on the Over-The-Counter market which is generallyconsidered to be a less efficient system than listing on markets such as NASDAQ or other national exchanges because of lower tradingvolumes, transaction delays and reduced security analyst and news media coverage. These factors could contribute to lower pricesand larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our Common Stock. Additionally, trading of our Common Stock on the OTCBB maymake us less desirable to institutional investors and may, therefore, limit our future equity funding options and could negativelyaffect the liquidity of our stock.

Therights of our common stockholders are limited by and subordinate to the rights of the holders of Series A Convertible PreferredStock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock; theserights may have a negative effect on the value of shares of our Common Stock.

 

Theholders of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series DPreferred Stock have rights and preferences generally superior to those of the holders of Common Stock. The existence of thesesuperior rights and preferences may have a negative effect on the value of shares of our Common Stock. These rights are more fullyset forth in the certificates of designations governing these instruments, and include, but are not limited to:

 

  the right to receive a liquidation preference, prior to any distribution of our assets to the holders of our Common Stock; and
     
  the right to convert into shares of our Common Stock at the conversion price set forth in the certificates of designations governing the respective preferred stock, which may be adjusted as set forth therein.

 

Thenumber of shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock represents approximately 43.6% of our fully diluted shares of Common Stock.Additional issuances of shares of Common Stock upon conversion and/or exercise of preferred stock, options to purchase CommonStock and warrants to purchase Common Stock will cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

 

AtJanuary 17, 2017, we had 4,250,617 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Up to an additional 2,357,227 shares may beissued upon conversion of our Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock; 487,733 shares upon exerciseof all outstanding vested options to purchase our Common Stock at an weighted average price of $5.46; 2,235,792 shares upon exerciseof all outstanding unvested options to purchase our Common Stock at an weighted average price of $3.20; and 123,000 shares issuableupon vesting of restricted stock units granted, which amounts includes all reserves, resulting in a total of up to 9,231,369 sharesthat may be issued and outstanding, assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock, and exercise of all outstandingoption and warrants to purchase our Common Stock. The issuance of any and all of the 5,203,752 shares issuable upon exercise orconversion of our outstanding convertible securities will cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and may depressthe market price of our Common Stock.

 

Youwill experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings

 

Wemay in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our CommonStock. Although no assurances can be given that we will consummate a financing, in the event we do, or in the event we sell sharesof Common Stock or other securities convertible into shares of our Common Stock in the future, additional and substantial dilutionwill occur. In addition, investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to investorsin this offering.

 

CertainRisk Factors Relating to PolarityTE NV

 

Rapidtechnological change could cause PolarityTE NV’s platform, PolarityTE, to become obsolete.

 

Thetechnologies underlying PolarityTE NV’s platform, PolarityTE, are subject to rapid and profound technological change. Competitionintensifies as technical advances in each field are made and become more widely known. PolarityTE NV can give no assurance thatothers will not develop processes with significant advantages over the processes that PolarityTE NV offers or is seeking to develop.Any such occurrence could have a material and adverse effect on PolarityTE NV’s business, results of operations and financialcondition.

 

PolarityTENV’s revenues will depend upon adequate reimbursement from public and private insurers and health systems.

 

PolarityTENV’s success will depend on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of its treatments will be available from thirdparty payers, such as public and private insurers and health systems. Government and other third party payers attempt to containhealthcare costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement of new treatments. Therefore, significant uncertaintyusually exists as to the reimbursement status of new healthcare treatments. If PolarityTE NV is not successful in obtaining adequatereimbursement for its treatment from these third party payers, the market’s acceptance of PolarityTE NV’s treatmentcould be adversely affected. Inadequate reimbursement levels also likely would create downward price pressure on PolarityTE NV’streatment. Even if PolarityTE NV does succeed in obtaining widespread reimbursement for its treatment, future changes in reimbursementpolicies could have a negative impact on PolarityTE NV’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

13
 

 

Tobe commercially successful, PolarityTE NV must convince physicians that its treatments are safe and effective alternatives toexisting treatments and that PolarityTE NV’s treatments should be used.

 

PolarityTENV believes physicians will only adopt its treatment if they determine, based on experience, clinical data and published peerreviewed journal articles, that the use of PolarityTE NV’s treatment is a favorable alternative to conventional methods,including skin grafting. Physicians may be slow to change their medical treatment practices for the following reasons, among others:

 

  Lack of evidence supporting additional patient benefits and PolarityTE NV’s treatments over conventional methods;
     
  Perceived liability risks generally associated with the use of new procedures; and
     
  Limited availability of reimbursement from third party payers.

 

Inaddition, PolarityTE NV believes that recommendations for and support of its treatments by influential physicians are essentialfor market acceptance and adoption. If PolarityTE NV does not receive this support or is unable to demonstrate favorable long-termclinical data, physicians and hospitals may not use PolarityTE NV’s treatment, which would significantly reduce PolarityTENV’s ability to achieve revenue and would prevent PolarityTE NV from sustaining profitability.

 

PolarityTENV’s ability to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technology through patents and other means is uncertainand may be inadequate, which could have a material and adverse effect on PolarityTE NV.

 

PolarityTENV’s success depends significantly on its ability to protect its proprietary rights to the technologies used in it treatmentand PolarityTE platform. PolarityTE NV relies on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademarklaws and nondisclosure, confidentiality and other contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary technology. These legalmeans afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect PolarityTE NV’s rights or permit PolarityTE NV to gainor keep any competitive advantage. In addition, PolarityTE NV’s pending patent applications include claims to material aspectsof PolarityTE NV’s procedures that are not currently protected by issued patents. The patent application process can betime consuming and expensive. PolarityTE NV cannot ensure that any of its pending patent applications will result in issued patents.Competitors may be able to design around PolarityTE NV’s patents or develop procedures that provide outcomes that are comparableor even superior to PolarityTE NV’s. Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect PolarityTE NV’s intellectualproperty rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

 

Thefailure to obtain and maintain patents and/or protect PolarityTE NV’s intellectual property rights could have a materialand adverse effect on PolarityTE NV’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Whether a patent is validis a complex matter of science and law, and therefore PolarityTE NV cannot be certain that, if challenged, its patents would beupheld. If one or more of those patents are invalidated, that could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage PolarityTE NVmight otherwise have had.

 

Inthe event a competitor infringes upon PolarityTE NV’s pending patent or other intellectual property rights, enforcing thoserights may be costly, uncertain, difficult and time consuming. Even if successful, litigation to enforce or defend PolarityTENV’s intellectual property rights could be expensive and time consuming and could divert PolarityTE NV’s management’sattention. Further, bringing litigation to enforce PolarityTE NV’s patents subjects PolarityTE NV to the potential for counterclaims.In the event that one or more of our patents are challenged, a court or the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”)may invalidate the patent(s) or determine that the patent(s) is not enforceable, which could harm PolarityTE NV’s competitiveposition. If the USPTO ultimately cancels or narrows the claim in any of PolarityTE NV’s patents through these proceedings,it could prevent or hinder PolarityTE NV from being able to enforce them against competitors. Such adverse decisions could negativelyPolarityTE NV’s future, expected revenue.

 

14
 

 

PolarityTENV may become subject to claims of infringement of the intellectual property rights of others, which could prohibit PolarityTENV from developing its treatment, require PolarityTE NV to obtain licenses from third parties or to develop non-infringing alternatives,and subject PolarityTE NV to substantial monetary damages.

 

Thirdparties could assert that PolarityTE NV’s procedures infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. Whethera product infringes a patent or other intellectual property involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of whichis often uncertain. Therefore, PolarityTE NV cannot be certain that it has not infringed the intellectual property rights of others.Because patent applications may take years to issue, there also may be applications now pending of which PolarityTE NV is unawarethat may later result in issued patents that PolarityTE NV’s procedure or processes infringe. There also may be existingpatents or pending patent applications of which PolarityTE NV is unaware that its procedures or processes may inadvertently infringe.

 

Anyinfringement claim could cause PolarityTE NV to incur significant costs, place significant strain on PolarityTE NV’s financialresources, divert management’s attention from PolarityTE NV’s business and harm PolarityTE’s reputation. Ifthe relevant patents in such claim were upheld as valid and enforceable and PolarityTE NV was found to infringe, PolarityTE NVcould be prohibited from utilizing any procedure that is found to infringe PolarityTE NV obtains licenses to use the technologycovered by the patent or other intellectual property or is able to design around the patent or other intellectual property. PolarityTENV may be unable to obtain such a license on terms acceptable to it, if at all, and PolarityTE NV may not be able to redesignits processes to avoid infringement. A court could also order PolarityTE NV to pay compensatory damages for such infringement,plus prejudgment interest and could, in addition, treble the compensatory damages and award attorney fees. These damages couldbe substantial and could harm PolarityTE NV’s reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.

 

PolarityTENV’s business is subject to continuing regulatory compliance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”)and other authorities, which is costly and PolarityTE NV’s failure to comply could result in negative effects on its business.

 

TheFDA has specific regulations governing tissue-based products, or HCT/Ps. The FDA has broad post-market and regulatory and enforcementpowers. The FDA’s regulation of HCT/Ps includes requirements for registration and listing of products, donor screening andtesting, processing and distribution (“Current Good Tissue Practices”), labeling, record keeping and adverse-reactionreporting, and inspection and enforcement.

 

Evenif pre-market clearance or approval is obtained, the approval or clearance may place substantial restrictions on the indicationsfor which the product may be marketed or to whom it may be marketed, may require warnings to accompany the product or impose additionalrestrictions on the sale and/or use of the product. In addition, regulatory approval is subject to continuing compliance withregulatory standards, including the FDA’s quality system regulations.

 

IfPolarityTE NV fails to comply with the FDA regulations regarding its tissue regeneration processes, the FDA could take enforcementaction, including, without limitation, any of the following sanctions:

 

Untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, and civil penalties;
Operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of procedure;
Refusing requests for clearance or approval of new procedures;
Withdrawing or suspending current applications for approval or approvals already granted; and
Criminal prosecution.

 

Itis likely that the FDA’s regulation of HCT/Ps will continue to evolve in the future. Complying with any such new regulatoryrequirements may entail significant time delays and expense, which could have a material adverse effect on PolarityTE NV’sbusiness.

 

15
 

 

PolarityTENV faces significant uncertainty in the industry due to government healthcare reform.

 

Therehave been and continue to be proposals by the Federal Government, State Governments, regulators and third party payers to controlhealthcare costs, and generally, to reform the healthcare system in the United States. There are many programs and requirementsfor which the details have not yet been fully established or the consequences are not fully understood. These proposals may affectaspects of PolarityTE NV’s business. PolarityTE NV also cannot predict what further reform proposals, if any, will be adopted,when they will be adopted, or what impact they may have on PolarityTE NV.

 

Oversightin the industry might affect the manner in which PolarityTE NV may compete in the marketplace.

 

Thereare laws and regulations that govern the means by which companies in the healthcare industry may market their treatments to healthcareprofessionals and may compete by discounting the prices of their treatments, including for example, the federal Anti-KickbackStatute, the federal False Claims Act, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, state law equivalentsto these federal laws that are meant to protect against fraud and abuse and analogous laws in foreign countries. Violations ofthese laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, but not limited to, in some instances civil and criminalpenalties, damages, fines, exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.In addition, federal and state laws are also sometimes open to interpretation, and from time to time PolarityTE NV may find itselfat a competitive disadvantage if PolarityTE NV’s interpretation differs from that of our competitors.

 

PolarityTENV may have significant liability exposure and its insurance may not cover all potential claims.

 

PolarityTENV is exposed to liability and other claims in the event that its treatment is alleged to have caused harm. PolarityTE NV maynot be able to obtain insurance for the potential liability on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at reasonable costs.Any potential product liability claims could exceed the amount of PolarityTE NV’s insurance coverage or may be excludedfrom coverage under the terms of the policy. PolarityTE NV’s insurance may not be renewed at a cost and level of coveragecomparable to that then in effect.

 

IfNASDAQ determines that the Merger with PolarityTE NV and the issuance of the Merger Consideration results in a change of controlof the Company, the Company may be required to submit a new application under NASDAQ’s original listing standards and ifsuch application is not approved, the Company’s Common Stock may be delisted from NASDAQ.

 

Inconnection with the Merger, the Company will issue 7,050 shares of Series E Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000shares of the Company’s Common Stock. NASDAQ Rule 5110(a) provides that a Company must apply for initial listing in connectionwith a transaction whereby a company combines with a non-NASDAQ entity, resulting in a change of control of such company and potentiallyallowing the non-NASDAQ entity to effectively obtain NASDAQ listing. In determining whether a change of control has occurred,NASDAQ considers all relevant factors including, changes in management, board of directors, voting power, ownership and financialstructure of the Company. If The NASDAQ Stock Market determines that a change of control does in fact result from the consummationof the Merger and the issuance of the Merger Consideration and an original listing application has not been approved prior tothe consummation of Merger, the Company will be in violation of NASDAQ Rule 5110(a) and the Company’s Common Stock couldbe delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OFFINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Thefollowing discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financialstatements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis containsforward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” set forthin the beginning of this Prospectus, and see “Risk Factors” beginning on page * for a discussion of certain risk factorsapplicable to our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Operating results are not necessarily indicative ofresults that may occur in future periods.

 

Overview

 

TheCompany is an innovative developer, marketer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment for consumers around theworld. Building on more than 25 years of operating history, the Company develops and publishes a wide range of video games ondigital networks through its Midnight City label, including Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One and the personal computer, or PC. Although, historically, we havesold packaged software to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video game rental outlets and distributors and throughdigital distribution for platforms such as Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, or PSN, and Steam, and for mobile devices andonline platforms, we are now purposed to operate, almost exclusively, in our digital software business unit.

 

OnDecember 1, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Majesco AcquisitionCorp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, PolarityTE, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PolarityTENV”) and Dr. Denver Lough, the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of PolarityTE NV (the“Seller”). The closing is subject to various closing conditions.

 

VideoGame Products

 

NetRevenues. Our revenues are principally derived from sales of our video games.

 

Costof Sales. Cost of sales includes amortization and impairment of capitalized software development costs and license fees. Commencingupon the related product’s release, capitalized software development and intellectual property license costs are amortizedto cost of sales.

 

GrossProfit. Gross profit is the excess of net revenues over product costs and amortization and impairment of software developmentand license fees. Development and license fees incurred to produce video games are generally incurred up front and amortized tocost of sales. The recovery of these costs and total gross profit is dependent upon achieving a certain sales volume, which variesby title.

 

ProductResearch and Development Expenses. Ongoing research and development activities have been substantially reduced since fiscal2014.

 

Sellingand Marketing Expenses. Since July 2015, these activities are now limited to online and in social media.

 

Generaland Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including stockcompensation, for corporate executive and support staff, general office expenses, professional fees and various other overheadcharges. Professional fees, including legal and accounting expenses, typically represent one of the largest components of ourgeneral and administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a publicly traded company,such as SEC filings, and corporate- and business-development initiatives.

 

Interestand Financing Costs. Interest and financing costs were directly attributable to our factoring and our purchase-order financingarrangements. Such costs included commitment fees and fees based upon the value of customer invoices factored.

 

19
 

 

IncomeTaxes. Income taxes consist of our provisions for income taxes, as affected by our net operating loss carryforwards. Futureutilization of our net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “changein ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL carryforwardsbefore utilization. Due to our history of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset our NOL and other deferredtax assets has been established under current accounting pronouncements, and this valuation allowance will be maintained unlesssufficient positive evidence develops to support its reversal.

 

CriticalAccounting Estimates

 

Ourdiscussion 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 of America, or GAAP.

 

Thepreparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amountsof assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimateson historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the resultsof which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparentfrom other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Wehave identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. Theimpact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management’sdiscussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financialresults.

 

RevenueRecognition. Our software products are sold exclusively as downloads of digital content for which the consumer takes possessionof the digital content for a fee. Revenue from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assumingall other recognition criteria are met).

 

Whenwe 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 performanceobligations are complete and all other recognition criteria are met, or as per-copy royalties are earned on sales of games.

 

CapitalizedSoftware Development Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include development fees, primarily in the form ofmilestone payments made to independent software developers. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibilityof a product is established and management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For products where provengame engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-productbasis. Amounts related to software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and developmentcosts. Commencing upon a related product’s release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of salesbased upon the higher of (i) the ratio of current revenue to total projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expectedmarketable life of the product.

 

Prepaidlicense 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 licensefees) and a current liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the contract or when specifiedmilestones or events occur and when no significant performance commitment remains with the licensor. Licenses are expensed tocost of sales at the higher of (i) the contractual royalty rate based on actual sales or (ii) an effective rate based upon totalprojected revenue related to such license. Capitalized software development costs are classified as non-current if they relateto titles for which we estimate the release date to be more than one year from the balance sheet date.

 

20
 

 

Theamortization period for capitalized software development costs and license fees is usually no longer than one year from the initialrelease of the product. If actual revenues or revised forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particularlicense, the charge to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of capitalized softwaredevelopment costs and license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the expected performance of the specific products to whichthe costs relate.

 

When,in management’s estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, we expense thesecapitalized costs to cost of sales - loss on impairment of capitalized software development costs and license fees - future releases,in the period such a determination is made. These expenses may be incurred prior to a game’s release. If a game is cancelledand never released to market, the amount is expensed to operating costs and expenses - loss on impairment of capitalized softwaredevelopment costs and license fees - cancelled games. If we were required to write off licenses or capitalized software developmentcosts, due to changes in market conditions or product acceptance, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Licensefees and milestone payments made to our third party developers are typically considered non-refundable advances against the totalcompensation they can earn based upon the sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensation earnedbeyond the milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.

 

Weexpense as research and development costs associated with the development of mobile and social games when we cannot reliably projectthat future net cash flows from developed games will exceed related development costs. These games have not earned significantrevenues to date and we are continuing to evaluate alternatives for future development and monetization.

 

Accountingfor Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of theaward and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant daterequires judgment, including, in the case of stock option awards, estimating expected stock volatility. In addition, judgmentis also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantlyfrom these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Accountingfor Preferred Stock and Warrant transactions. We issued units consisting of preferred shares and warrants and common stockand warrants and subsequently remeasured certain of those warrants. Determining the fair value of the securities in these transactionsrequires significant judgment, including adjustments to quoted share prices and expected stock volatility. Such estimates maysignificantly impact our results of operations and losses applicable to common stockholders.

 

Commitmentsand Contingencies. We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonablyestimable. We record associated legal fees as incurred.

Resultsof Operations

 

Yearended October 31, 2016 versus the year ended October 31, 2015

 

NetRevenues. Net revenues for the year ended October 31, 2016 decreased 77% to approximately $1.5 million from $6.7 million forthe year ended October 31, 2015. The decrease was due to lower sales of Zumba titles. Additionally, there were no retail salesdue to the transfer of the retail distribution channel to Zift in July 2015.

 

GrossProfit. Gross profit for the year ended October 30, 2016 decreased 62% to approximately $1.3 million compared to a gross profitof approximately $3.3 million for the year ended October 31, 2015. The decrease in gross profit reflects lower Zumba and othersales as discussed above, as well as the Company’s withdrawal from the packaged software business. Gross profit as a percentageof net revenues was 81% for the year ended October 31, 2016, compared to 49% for the year ended October 31, 2015. The increasein gross profit is due to the dramatically lower cost of sales associated with a digitally sold product.

ProductResearch and Development Expenses. Product research and development expenses for the year ended October 31, 2016 was approximately$90,000 compared to $174,000 for the year ended October 31, 2015. The decrease reflects the general reduction in this activity.

 

Sellingand Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses for the year ended October 31, 2016 decreased 98% to approximately$14,000 compared to approximately $771,000 for the year ended October 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to lower personnelcosts and other marketing and distribution activities related to our switch to digital.

 

Generaland Administrative Expenses. For the year ended October 31, 2016, general and administrative expenses increased 13% to approximately$6.0 million compared to $5.4 million for the year ended October 31, 2015. The increase reflects a $1.7 million increase in stockbased compensation partially offset by lower non-stock based compensation costs, consulting and professional fees and relatedsupport expenses. Stock based compensation increased, because during the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a total of 356,666 restrictedshares and 347,010 stock options were granted, of which 177,084 restricted stock shares were granted with immediate vesting.

 

WorkforceReduction. For the year ended October 31, 2015, we incurred workforce reduction costs of $0.8 million pertaining to severancecosts, including primarily severance costs for finance and legal executives and other personnel.

 

Operatingloss. Operating loss for the year ended October 31, 2016 increased 26% to approximately $4.9 million, compared to an operatingloss of approximately $3.9 million for the year ended October 31, 2015, primarily reflecting a greater decrease in net revenuesand gross profit than the expense reductions in development and marketing activities plus an increase in stock based compensation.

 

Extinguishmentof liabilities. During the year ended October 31, 2015, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of approximately$1.5 million. We determined that certain accounts payable balances and claims for license fees and services would never be paidbecause they were no longer being pursued for payment and had passed the statute of limitations.

 

Netgains on asset sales and other nonoperating gains. During the year ended October 31, 2015, we recognized approximately $198,000in net gain from the sale of certain game rights and from the sale of office furniture and equipment upon the move to a smalleroffice. Additionally, we recognized $50,000 from the transfer of retail distribution activities to Zift, a company owned by ourformer chief executive officer.

 

Changein fair value of warrant liability. In our December 2014 private placement of units consisting of preferred stock and warrants,we issued warrants containing certain contingent settlement terms not indexed to our own stock. We accounted for the warrantsas derivative liabilities and measured their fair value on a quarterly basis and recognized on a current basis any gains or losses.In the year ended October 31, 2015, we recognized a loss of approximately $1.5 million reflecting an increase in our stock pricefrom the previous measurement date. In our April 19, 2016, equity offering, we issued warrants. We accounted for the warrantsas derivative liabilities and measure their fair value on a quarterly basis and recognize on a current basis any gains or losses.In the year ended October 31, 2016, we recognized a gain of approximately $248,000 reflecting a decrease in our stock price fromthe previous measurement date.

 

IncomeTaxes. In the year ended October 31, 2016, our income tax expense was not significant, representing primarily minimum stateincome taxes.

 

Liquidityand Capital Resources

 

Asof October 31, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $6.5 million and our working capital was approximately $5.4 million,compared to cash and equivalents of $17.1 million and working capital of $15.6 million at October 31, 2015.

Fromfiscal 2013 through the present, we have experienced net cash outflows from operations, generally to fund operating losses dueto declining revenues which we attribute to three factors: 1) the introduction of competing “freemium” games on competinghandheld devices such as the Apple iPhone or iTouch, and Android powered devices; 2) a shift in game distribution from retailto digital downloads; and 3) a decline in the popularity of motion based fitness games including games we publish under the Zumbafitness brand. As a result of these factors we have reduced our operating expenses, including the reduction of game productionand marketing personnel, and have eliminated substantially all of our new game development activities. In 2015, we transferredour retail distribution activities to Zift and transferred related assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, inventory,customer credits and certain other liabilities.

 

OnDecember 1, 2016, we entered into the Agreement with Majesco Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiaryof the Company, PolarityTE NV, a Nevada corporation and the Seller, the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares ofcapital stock of PolarityTE NV. The closing is subject to various closing conditions. We believe we have sufficient cash on handto fund operations though the next year.

 

PrivatePlacements

 

Theprivate placements described below were completed in December 2014 and May 2015. A substantial portion of the proceeds of theseofferings remained subject to escrow agreements until September 2015, pending the satisfaction of release conditions.

 

December2014

 

OnDecember 17, 2014, pursuant to subscription agreements (the “December Subscription Agreements”) entered into withcertain accredited investors (the “December Investors”) the Company completed a private placement of $6.0 millionof units (the “December Units”) at a purchase price of $0.68 per December Unit, with each December Unit consisting of one shareof the Company’s 0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (each a “Series A Preferred Share”) and a five-yearwarrant (each a “December Warrant”) to purchase one sixth of a share of the Company’s common stock at an initialexercise price of $4.08 per share (such issuance and sale, the “December Private Placement”). The December Warrants were subsequentlyexchanged for shares of the Company’s 0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”)and shares of the Company’s common stock (see below). The offering was made in reliance upon an exemption from registrationunder Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

TheSeries A Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated valueof such Series A Preferred Share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series A Preferred Share, as of suchdate of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each Preferred Share is $0.68 and the initial conversionprice is $4.08 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions orother similar events. In addition, in the event the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to issue or sell, shares of its commonstock at a per share price that is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be reduced to suchlower price, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 0% SeriesA Convertible Preferred Stock of Majesco Entertainment Company, the Company is prohibited from incurring debt or liens, or enteringinto new financing transactions without the consent of the lead investor (as defined in the December Subscription Agreements)as long as any of the Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding. The Series A Preferred Shares bear no dividends.

 

Theholders of Series A Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters on an as if convertedbasis, subject to certain conversion and ownership limitations, and shall not vote as a separate class. Notwithstanding the foregoing,the conversion price for purposes of calculating voting power shall in no event be lower than $3.54 per share. At no time mayall or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares be converted if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant tosuch conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder at such time, the numberof shares of common stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d)of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the common stock outstanding at such time; provided, however,that the holder may waive the 4.99% limitation at which time he may not own beneficially own more than 9.99% of all the commonstock outstanding at such time.

TheSeries B Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value($140.00 per share) of the Series B Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, divided by the conversionprice (initially $8.40 per share, subject to adjustment). We are prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series B PreferredShares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, such holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number ofshares of common stock outstanding, subject to increase, up to 9.99%.

Each May Unit consists of one share of the our common stock,provided that, if the issuance of any such shares would have resulted in the investor owning in excess of 4.99% of our issuedand outstanding common stock, then such investor could elect to receive shares of our 0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock(the “Series C Preferred Shares”), and a three-year warrant (the “May Warrants”) to purchase one shareof the our common stock at an exercise price of $8.40 per share (such sale and issuance, the “May Private Placement”).

IndustryOverview

 

Thevideo game software market is comprised of the following two primary sectors: (i) dedicated console software for systems suchas the Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, and handheld gaming systems, such as the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. The majority of softwarefor these platforms has historically been purchased in packaged form through retail outlets. However, in recent years, an increasingamount of software has been made available digitally through online networks such as Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade (“XBLA”),and Sony’s PlayStation Network (“PSN”); and (ii) software for multipurpose devices such as personal computersand mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

 

Onlineand mobile digital games

 

Wehave released numerous games for digital distribution over various third party networks for dedicated game consoles or PC, suchas XBLA, PSN and Steam. We have released titles for various mobile platforms, including Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.We have published our own digital games and served as a distributor for other developer’s products in return for a percentageof net revenues generated by the game. Some of the games are distributed under the label “Midnight City” which weestablished to provide services to the indie game development community.

Retaildistribution

 

Priorto July 2015, we derived the majority of revenues from the sale of games for dedicated game consoles through retail distribution.Specifically, we have generated a substantial amount of our revenues in this channel from two “hit” franchises, CookingMama and Zumba Fitness. These titles are late in their life cycle, and as a result, generated significantly reducedsales than early in their life cycle. We have also released a number of other titles, primarily for the casual game consumer onthe Nintendo DS, Nintendo WII and Microsoft 360 Kinect. Retail distribution no longer constitutes any focus of our business.

Retail distribution no longer constitutes any focus of our business.

 

ProductDevelopment

 

Weprimarily use third party development studios to develop our games. However, we may employ game-production and quality-assurancepersonnel to manage the creation of the game and its ultimate approval by the first party hardware manufacturer. We carefullyselect third parties to develop video games based on their capabilities, suitability, availability and cost. We typically havebroad rights to commercially utilize products created by the third party developers we work with. Development contracts are structuredto provide developers with incentives to provide timely and satisfactory performance by associating payments with the achievementof substantive development milestones, and by providing for the payment of royalties to them based on sales of the developed product,only after we recoup development costs.

 

Theprocess for producing video games also involves working with platform manufacturers from the initial game concept phase throughapproval of the final product. During this process, we work closely with the developers and manufacturers to ensure that the titleundergoes careful quality assurance testing. Each platform manufacturer requires that the software and a prototype of each title,together with all related artwork and documentation, be submitted for its pre-publication approval. This approval is generallydiscretionary.

 

IntellectualProperty

 

Ourbusiness is dependent upon intellectual property rights in numerous respects. We typically own the copyright to our software codeand content and register copyrights and trademarks in the United States as appropriate.

 

PlatformLicenses

 

Hardwareplatform manufacturers require that publishers obtain a license from them to publish titles for their platforms. We currentlyhave non-exclusive licenses from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony for each of the popular console and handheld platforms. Each licensegenerally extends for a term of between two to four years and is terminable under a variety of circumstances. Each license allowsus to create one or more products for the applicable system, and requires us to pay a per-unit license fee and/or royalty paymentfrom the title produced and may include other compensation or payment terms. All of the hardware manufacturers approve each ofthe titles we submit for approval on a title-by-title basis, at their discretion. We are also dependent on approvals from distributorsfor our video game software for PCs and mobile devices.

 

Licensesfrom Third Parties

 

Whilewe develop original titles, most of our titles are based on rights, licenses and properties, including copyrights and trademarks,owned by third parties. Even our original titles may require rights to properties from third parties, such as rights to musicor content. License agreements with third parties generally extend for a term of between two to four years, are limited to specificterritories or platforms and are terminable under a variety of circumstances. Several of our licenses are exclusive within particularterritories or platforms. The licensors often have strict approval and quality control rights. Typically, we are obligated tomake minimum guaranteed royalty payments over the term of these licenses and advance payments against these guarantees, but othercompensation or payment terms, such as milestone payments, are also common. From time to time, we may also license other technologiesfrom third party developers for use in our products, which also are subject to royalties and other types of payment.

Accordingly,currently our customers are substantially users of games on those platforms. We continue to explore new distribution channelsfor our games.

NarrativeDisclosure to Summary Compensation Table

 

IncentiveBonus Opportunity

 

TheCompensation Committee has the authority to award incentive bonuses to our executives. The incentive bonus program is based onthe Company’s fiscal year performance.

 

Theincentive bonus program is an important component of total cash compensation because it rewards our executives for achieving annualfinancial and operational goals and emphasizes variable or “at risk” compensation.

 

OnApril 19, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved the adoption of a new annual short-term incentive plan for fiscal year 2013and subsequent years (the “STI Plan”). In 2013, under the STI Plan, each of the named executive officers was eligibleto receive an incentive bonus based upon a targeted percentage of his base salary, which was 100% for the Chief Executive Officerand 50% for the Chief Financial Officer. The incentives could be earned based on our performance relative to a mix of strategicobjectives, such as (i) growing cash flow from our console business, (ii) expanding our digital games business, measured in termsof revenue, infrastructure and talent acquisitions, business acquisitions, and product pipeline, and (iii) managing to adjustedoperating income, cash flow and liquidity goals, eliminating operating losses on certain platforms, and repositioning the Companyto invest in growth areas. In addition, in determining the eligibility for bonuses under the plan, the payout level for thestrategic objectives was based on the Committee’s discretionary assessment of each officer’s performance relativeto the overall mix of objectives. Based on its review of overall performance, the Compensation Committee approved an incentivepayout of $150,000 for the Chief Executive Officer and $84,000 for the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Noincentive plan was offered for fiscal year 2016.

 

Long-TermIncentives

 

Webelieve that long-term performance will be enhanced through equity awards that reward our executives and other employees for maximizingstockholder value over time and that align the interests of our executives and other employees with those of stockholders. TheCompensation Committee believes that the use of equity awards offers the best approach to achieving our compensation goals becauseequity ownership ties a significant portion of an individual’s compensation to the performance of our stock.

Anti-TakeoverEffects of Certain Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Restated Bylaws and the Delaware General CorporationLaw

 

DelawareTakeover Statute. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).In general, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interestedstockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder,unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a business combination includesa merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an interested stockholderis a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of the corporation’svoting stock.

 

CharterDocuments. Certain provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws, which are summarized in thefollowing paragraphs, may have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or making a tender offer or delayingor preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable. Such provisions may also preventor frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In particular, the Restated Certificate of Incorporationand Restated Bylaws and Delaware law, as applicable, among other things:

 

  provide the Board with the ability to alter the Amended Bylaws without stockholder approval;
     
  place limitations on the removal of directors; and
     
  provide that vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum.

 

52
 

 

Theseprovisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encouragepersons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board. These provisions may delay or prevent someone fromacquiring or merging with us, which may cause our market price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

BlankCheck Preferred. Our Board is authorized to create and issue from time to time, without stockholder approval, up to an aggregateof 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to establish the number of shares of any series of preferredstock and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any qualifications, limitationsor restrictions of the shares of each series.

 

Theauthority to designate preferred stock may be used to issue series of preferred stock, or rights to acquire preferred stock, thatcould dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, holders of the Common Stock or could also be used as a method ofdetermining, delaying or preventing a change of control.

 

AdvanceNotice Bylaws. The Restated Bylaws contain an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before anymeeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our Board. Stockholders at any meeting willonly be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at thedirection of our Board or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitledto vote at the meeting and who has given our corporate secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’sintention to bring that business before the meeting. Although the Restated Bylaws do not give our Board the power to approve ordisapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annualmeeting, the Restated Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper proceduresare not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slateof directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinionon these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance withthe standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Companyis not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingthe amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significantestimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits providea reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referredto above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Majesco Entertainment Company and Subsidiaryas of October 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years thenended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASISOF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying financialstatements present the financial results of Majesco Entertainment Company and Majesco Europe Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary,(together, “Majesco” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis. Prior to the November 2014 sale of itsequity investment, the Company had 50% of the voting control of GMS Entertainment Limited (“GMS”) and the right toappoint one-half of the directors of GMS. Accordingly, the Company accounted for GMS on the equity method as a corporate jointventure.

 

The Company is a providerof video game products primarily for the casual-game consumer and has published video games for interactive entertainment hardwareplatforms, including Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’sXbox 360 and Xbox One and the personal computer, or PC. It has historically sold its products through two sales channels, retailand digital. It has sold packaged software to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video game rental outlets and distributorsand through digital distribution for platforms such as Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, or PSN, and Steam, and for mobiledevices and online platforms. In July 2015, the Company transferred retail distribution activities, assets and obligations to acompany owned by its former chief executive officer (see Note 15).

 

The Company’s videogame titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points. Due to the larger budget requirements for developingand marketing premium console titles for core gamers, the Company has focused on publishing more lower-cost games targeting casual-gameconsumers and independent game developer fans. In some instances, the Company’s titles are based on licenses of well-knownproperties and, in other cases, original properties. The Company enters into agreements with content providers and video game developmentstudios for the creation of our video games.

 

The Company’s operationsinvolve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed and sold domestically and internationally. The Companyis centrally managed and our chief operating decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and otherfinancial information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform for making operationaldecisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, it operates in a single segment.

 

Reverse stock-split.On July 27, 2016, Majesco Entertainment Company (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”)to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effectuate a reversestock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share on a one (1) for six (6) basis,effective on July 29, 2016 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

The Reverse Stock Splitwas effective with The NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) at the open of business on August 1, 2016. The par value andother terms of Company’s common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s post-Reverse StockSplit common stock has a new CUSIP number, 560690 406. The Company’s transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer LLC, is actingas exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.

 

As a result of the ReverseStock Split, every six shares of the Company’s pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock was combined and reclassified into oneshare of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share shall receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the productobtained by multiplying (i) the closing sale price of our common stock on the business day immediately preceding the effectivedate of the Reverse Stock Split as reported on NASDAQ by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock held by the stockholderthat would otherwise have been exchanged for the fractional share interest.

 

All common share and pershare amounts have been restated to show the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

NASDAQ listing.On March 3, 2016, the Company was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it was not in compliancewith Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) because the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimumclosing bid price of $1.00 per share for the prior 30 consecutive business days. The notice had no immediate effect on the listingor trading of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

The Company had a periodof 180 calendar days, or until August 30, 2016, to achieve compliance with the Rule. The Company regained compliance with the Rulein August 2016 by effecting the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Major customers.Sony, Microsoft and Valve accounted for 47%, 37%, and 13%, respectively, of sales for the year ended October 31, 2016. Sony, Sidekickand Microsoft accounted for 41%, 25% and 20%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of October 31, 2016. Sales to GameStop representedapproximately 10% of net revenues in 2015. In 2015, Alliance Distributors and Microsoft Corporation represented approximately 10%and 13% of total revenue, respectively. Sony, Microsoft, Valve and Nintendo accounted for 37%, 20%, 18% and 13% of total accountsreceivable as of October 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Concentrations. TheCompany develops and distributes video game software for proprietary platforms under licenses from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft,which must be periodically renewed. The Company’s agreements with these manufacturers also grant them certain control overthe Company’s products. In addition, for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 sales of the Company’s Zumba Fitnessgames accounted for approximately 9% and 28% of net revenues, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation.The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary locatedin the United Kingdom. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition.Since July 2015 when retail distribution activities were transferred and retail sales ceased, the Company’s software productsare 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 criteriaare met).

 

Prior to July 2015, whenthe Company entered into license or distribution agreements that provided for multiple copies of games in exchange for guaranteedamounts, revenue was recognized in accordance with the terms of the agreements, generally upon delivery of a master copy, assumingour performance obligations were complete and all other recognition criteria were met, or as per-copy royalties are earned on salesof games.

 

Cash and cash equivalents.Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.At various times, the Company has deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experiencedany losses on these accounts.

 

Accounts and OtherReceivables and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. The carrying amounts of accounts and other receivables and accountspayable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as these accounts are largely current and short term in nature.

 

Allowance for doubtfulaccounts. The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable for estimated probable losses. The allowanceis based on historical experiences, current aging of accounts, and other expected future write-offs, including specific identifiablecustomer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Any related expense associated with an allowance for doubtful accounts isrecognized as general and administrative expense.

 

Capitalized SoftwareDevelopment Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include fees in the form of milestone payments made to independentsoftware developers and licensors. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is establishedand 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 relatedto software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development costs. Commencingupon a related product’s release, capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratioof current revenue to total projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected marketable life of the product.

 

Prepaid license fees representlicense fees to owners for the use of their intellectual property rights in the development of the Company’s products. Minimumguaranteed royalty payments for intellectual property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (prepaid license fees) and acurrent liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the contract or when specified milestonesor events occur and when no significant performance remains with the licensor. Licenses are expensed to cost of sales at the higherof (i) the contractual royalty rate based on actual sales or (ii) an effective rate based upon total projected revenue relatedto such license. Capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees are classified as non-current if they relate totitles for which the Company estimates the release date to be more than one year from the balance sheet date.

 

The amortization periodfor capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is usually no longer than one year from the initial releaseof 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 developmentcosts and prepaid license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the expected performance of the specific products to which the costsrelate. When, in management’s 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,” in theperiod such a determination is made. These expenses may be incurred prior to a game’s 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 costsand expenses. If the Company was required to write off licenses, due to changes in market conditions or product acceptance, itsresults of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Costs of developing onlinefree-to-play social games, including payments to third-party developers, are expensed as research and development expenses. Revenuefrom these games is largely dependent on players’ future purchasing behavior in the game and currently the Company cannotreliably project that future net cash flows from developed games will exceed related development costs.

 

Prepaid license fees andmilestone payments made to the Company’s third party developers are typically considered non-refundable advances againstthe total compensation they can earn based upon the sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensationearned beyond the milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.

 

Property and equipment.Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is being provided for by the straight-line method overthe estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for over theshorter of the term of the lease or the life of the asset.

 

Income taxes. TheCompany accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized forthe future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets andliabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilitiesare measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences areexpected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized inincome in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company evaluates the potential for realization of deferred tax assetsat each quarterly balance sheet date and records a valuation allowance for assets for which realization is not more likely thannot.

 

Stock Based Compensation.The Company measures all stock-based compensation to employees using a fair value method and records such expense in general andadministrative expenses. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periodof the award, based on the fair value of the option on the date of grant.

 

The fair value for optionsissued is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S.Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The volatility factor is determined based on the Company’s historicalstock prices.

 

The value of restrictedstock grants are measured based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and amortizedover the vesting period of, generally, six months to three years.

 

Extinguishment of Liabilities.During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of $1.5 million. The Companydetermined that certain accounts payable balances and claims for license fees and services would never be paid because they wereno longer being pursued for payment and had passed the statute of limitations as of October 31, 2015.

 

Loss Per Share.Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted averagenumber of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share excludes the potential impact of common stockoptions, unvested shares of restricted stock and outstanding common stock purchase warrants because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Commitments and Contingencies.We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business. We record a liability for commitments and contingencieswhen the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.

 

Accounting for Warrants.The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the equity offerings in accordancewith the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company classifies as equity any contractsthat (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlementin its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contractsthat (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that eventis outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physicalsettlement or net-share settlement). In addition, Under ASC 815, registered common stock warrants that require the issuance ofregistered shares upon exercise and do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement are accounted for as derivativeliabilities. The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as a current liability.

Change in fair valueof warrant liability. The Company assessed the classification of common stock purchase warrants as of the date of each offeringand determined that such instruments met the criteria for liability classification. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrantsas a liability at their fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subjectto re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognizedas “change in the fair value of warrant liabilities” in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value ofthe warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model (see Note 3).

 

Estimates. Thepreparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of Americarequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the disclosureof gain or loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses duringthe reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements are price protection and customerallowances, the valuation of inventory, the recoverability of advance payments for capitalized software development costs and intellectualproperty licenses, and the valuation allowances for deferred tax benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Other NonoperatingGains, Net. In the year ended October 31, 2015, in connection with the expiration of its prior facilities lease and its relocation,the Company disposed of property and equipment with a net book value of $92 and received proceeds of $20 from the sale of certainof the property and equipment. The $72 loss on the disposals is included in other non-operating gains, net. In addition, the Companyrecorded a gain of $270 on the transfer of certain game rights.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

 

In May 2014, the FinancialAccounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) creating a new Topic606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which broadly establishes new standards for the recognition of certain revenueand updates related disclosure requirements. The update becomes effective for the Company on November 1, 2018. The Company is reviewingthe potential impact of the statement on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

In January 2016,FASB issued ASU No.2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investmentsto be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equityinvestments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates therequirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair valuethat is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public businessentities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiresan entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liabilityresulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair valuein accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financialliabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financialstatements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-salesecurities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statementsissued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currentlyevaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, FASBissued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principlesfor the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requireslessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether ornot the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognizedbased on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also requiredto record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification.Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standardis effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. Whenadopted, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASBissued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purposeof ASU No. 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. For public entities,the amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. TheCompany is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASBissued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital(“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit inthe income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No. 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excesstax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefitsas an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU No. 2016-09 willincrease the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classificationfor shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory incometax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximumstatutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No. 2016-09 requires a company to classify the cashpaid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activityon the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition,companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awardsas they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change,as is currently required. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, withearly adoption permitted but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impactthat ASU No. 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASBissued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance is an update to ASC 606 and provides clarityon: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-10 is effective for annualperiods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluatingthe impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

3. FAIR VALUE

 

In accordance with ASC820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, financial instruments were measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchywhich maximizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs:

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments
  Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the market
  Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity. Financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, for which determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

Prior to the April 2015exchange transaction described in Note 8, the Company had outstanding warrants, the December warrants, that contained re-pricingprovisions for “down-round” issuances and other events not indexed to the Company’s own stock and were classifiedas liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized these warrants as liabilities at theirfair value and re-measured them through the date of their exchange in April 2015. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosuresprovides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequentto the initial recognition.

 

The Company uses Level3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant liabilities. The estimated fair values were determined using a binomialoption pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect estimatedfair value at each period end, with any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value being recorded in other income or expenseaccordingly, as adjustments to the fair value of derivative liabilities. Various factors are considered in the pricing models theCompany uses to value the warrants, including the Company’s current common stock price, the remaining life of the warrants,the volatility of the Company’s common stock price, and the risk-free interest rate. In addition, as of the valuation dates,management assessed the probabilities of future financing and other re-pricing events in the binominal valuation models.

In connection with theApril 19, 2016 common stock offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 187,500 shares of common stock. Thesewarrants are exercisable at $6.90 per share and expire on April 19, 2018. These warrants were analyzed and it was determined thatthey require liability treatment. Under ASC 815, registered common stock warrants that require the issuance of registered sharesupon exercise and do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement are accounted for as derivative liabilities. TheCompany classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as a current liability.

 

The fair value of thesewarrants at April 19, 2016 and October 31, 2016 was determined to be approximately $318,000 and $70,000, respectively, as calculatedusing Black-Scholes with the following assumptions: (1) stock price of $4.74 and $3.58, respectively; (2) a risk free rate of 0.77%and 0.75%, respectively; and (3) an expected volatility of 86% and 61%, respectively.

 

Financial instrumentsmeasured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement. At October 31, 2016, the warrant liability balance of $70,000 was classified as a Level 3 instrument.

7. SHORT-TERM FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

 

Accounts receivable and inventory

 

Prior to July 31, 2015,the Company used a factor to approve credit and to collect the proceeds from a substantial portion of its sales. Under the termsof the agreement, the Company sold to the factor and the factor purchased from the Company, eligible accounts receivable.

 

The factor, in its solediscretion, determined whether or not it would accept the credit risk associated with a receivable. If the factor did not acceptthe credit risk on a receivable, the Company sold the accounts receivable to the factor while retaining the credit risk. In bothcases, the Company surrendered all rights and control over the receivable to the factor. However, in cases where the Company retainedthe credit risk, the amount could be charged back to the Company in the case of non-payment by the customer. The factor was requiredto remit payments to the Company for the accounts receivable purchased from it, provided the customer did not have a valid disputerelated to the invoice. The amount remitted to the Company by the factor equaled the invoiced amount, adjusted for allowances anddiscounts the Company provided to the customer, less factor charges.

 

The Company reviewed thecollectability of accounts receivable for which it held the credit risk quarterly, based on a review of an aging of open invoicesand payment history, to make a determination if any allowance for bad debts was necessary.

 

In addition, the Companycould request that the factor provide it with cash advances based on its accounts receivable and inventory, up to a maximum amount.

 

Amounts to be paid tothe Company by the factor for any accounts receivable were offset by any amounts previously advanced by the factor. The interestrate was prime plus 1.5%, annually, subject to a 5.5% floor. In certain circumstances, an additional 1.0% annually was chargedfor advances against inventory.

 

The Company also maintainedpurchase order financing, up to a maximum of $2,500, to provide funding for the manufacture of its products. In connection withthese arrangements, the factor had a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The factor charged 0.5%of invoiced amounts, subject to certain minimum charges per invoice.

 

Inventory purchases

 

Prior to July 31, 2015,certain manufacturers required the Company to prepay or present letters of credit upon placing a purchase order for inventory.The Company had arrangements with a finance company which provided financing secured by the specific goods underlying the goodsordered from the manufacturer.

The Company paid a financing fee equalto 1.5% of the purchase order amount for each transaction, plus administrative fees. Additional charges of 0.05% per day (18% annualized)were incurred if the financing remained open for more than 30 days.

December Units and Series A Preferred Shares

 

On December 17, 2014,pursuant to subscription agreements (the “December Subscription Agreements”) entered into with certain accredited investors(the “December Investors”) the Company completed a private placement of $6.0 million of units (the “DecemberUnits”) at a purchase price of $0.68 per Unit, with each December Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s 0%Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (each a “Series A Preferred Share”) and a five-year warrant (each a “DecemberWarrant”) to purchase one sixth of a share of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $4.08 pershare (such issuance and sale, the “December Private Placement”). The December Warrants were subsequently exchangedfor shares of the Company’s 0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”) and sharesof the Company’s common stock (see below). The offering was made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Series A PreferredShares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of such Series APreferred Share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series A Preferred Share, as of such date of determination,divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each Preferred Share is $0.68 and the initial conversion price is $4.08 pershare, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similarevents. In addition, in the event the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to issue or sell, shares of its common stock at a pershare price that is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price, subjectto certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 0% Series A Convertible PreferredStock of Majesco Entertainment Company, the Company is prohibited from incurring debt or liens, or entering into new financingtransactions without the consent of the lead investor (as defined in the December Subscription Agreements) as long as any of theSeries A Preferred Shares are outstanding. The Series A Preferred Shares bear no dividends.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The holders of SeriesA Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters on an as if converted basis, subject tocertain conversion and ownership limitations, and shall not vote as a separate class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversionprice for purposes of calculating voting power shall in no event be lower than $3.54 per share. At no time may all or a portionof the Series A Preferred Shares be converted if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversionwould exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder at such time, the number of shares of commonstock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act andthe rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the common stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that the holder maywaive the 4.99% limitation at which time he may not own beneficially own more than 9.99% of all the common stock outstanding atsuch time.

 

Prior to the exchangetransaction described below, the December Warrants were exercisable at any time at a price of $4.08 per share, subject to adjustment,and expired five years from the date of issuance. The holders could exercise the December Warrants for shares of common stock ona cashless basis if there was no effective registration statement or no current prospectus available for resale of the underlyingshares of common stock. The December Warrants were subject to certain adjustments upon certain actions by the Company as outlinedin the December Warrants, including, for twenty-four months following the initial issuance date, the issuance or sale, or deemedissuance or sale, by the Company of shares of its common stock at a per share price that is less than the exercise price then ineffect.

 

The proceeds of the offeringand certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares and December Warrants underlying the December Units issued in the offeringwere deposited into escrow accounts. Upon the closing of the December Private Placement on December 17, 2014 (such date, the “DecemberClosing Date”), $1.0 million of the December Escrow Amount was released to the Company and $1.0 million of December Unitsto the December Investors, on a pro rata basis. Effective upon the approval of the Company’s stockholders on March 30, 2015,in one or multiple tranches, the remaining $5.0 million became eligible to be released to the Company and $5.0 million of DecemberUnits became eligible to be released to the December Investors from their respective escrow accounts, if either, (i) the lead investorhas approved the release, (ii) the approval of the requisite number of December Investors has been obtained, (iii) the Companyhas executed definitive binding documents for certain transactions, as described in the December Subscription Agreements, and suchtransaction(s) are to close contemporaneously with the release, following approval by the Company’s stockholders or (iv)the following conditions are present: (a) nine months has elapsed from the December Closing Date and release is approved by eachof the directors appointed at closing (being the non-continuing directors); (b) no subsequent release of the December Escrow Amounthas been consummated; and (c) no more than $1.0 million is released (the “December Release Conditions”). In the eventthat on and as of the twelve month anniversary of the December Closing Date none of the December Release Conditions have been satisfied,$5.0 million would be returned on a pro rata basis to the December Investors, without interest or deduction, and $5,000 of DecemberUnits would be returned to the Company for cancellation. On September 25, 2015, the lead investor approved the release and theescrow agent released all funds and corresponding December Units remaining in escrow.

 

The Company received netproceeds of $801,000 for the December Units released from escrow, net of offering costs, and has accounted for each of the SeriesA Preferred Shares released from escrow, the December Warrants released from escrow and the Series A Preferred Shares and DecemberWarrants remaining in escrow as freestanding instruments.

 

The Company has evaluatedthe guidance ASC 480-10 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity to determinethe appropriate classification of the instruments. Prior to the exchange described below, the exercise price of the released DecemberWarrants could be adjusted downward if the Company issued securities at a price below the initial exercise price and in certainother circumstances outside the control of the Company and therefore contain contingent settlement terms not indexed solely tothe Company’s own shares of common stock. Accordingly, $603,000 of proceeds were recorded as a derivative liability representingthe fair value of the December Warrants released from escrow at issuance and $120,000 of offering costs allocated to the DecemberWarrants were expensed. As a result of the allocations, described above, the Series A Preferred Shares released were deemed tohave a beneficial conversion feature at issuance amounting to $397,000, which was recorded in stockholders’ equity and immediatelycharged as a dividend in determining net loss attributable to common stockholders.

 

The remaining net proceedsof $318,000 were allocated to the Series A Preferred Shares net of $79,000 of offering costs. The Series A Preferred Shares donot represent an unconditional obligation to be settled in a variable number of shares of common stock, are not redeemable anddo not contain fixed or indexed conversion provisions similar to debt instruments. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Shares areconsidered equity hosts and recorded in stockholders’ equity.

The Series B PreferredShares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of such Series BPreferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series B Preferred Shares, as of such date of determination,divided by the conversion price.

Realization of deferredtax assets, including those related to net operating loss carryforwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which thetiming and amount are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. Basedupon the Company’s current operating results management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such assetswill be realized.

 

As a result of the Company’sprivate placements during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, a change of ownership under Internal Revenue Service Section382 has occurred and, accordingly, the annual utilization of the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards willbe severely limited. The annual limitations are expected to result in the expiration of federal net operating loss carryforwardsof approximately $94.0 million before full utilization. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expected to be available forincome tax purposes at October 31, 2016 after application of these limitations are estimated to be approximately $9.2 million,which expire between 2027 and 2036 for federal income taxes, and approximately $35.4 million for state income taxes, which primarilyexpire between 2013 and 2036.

 

The Company files incometax returns in the U.S., various states and the United Kingdom.

Section145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successfulon the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defenseof any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually andreasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that indemnification or advancement of expenses provided for by Section 145shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the corporationto purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liabilityasserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporationwould have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.

Referenceis also made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate orlimit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for violations of a director’s fiduciary duty, except forliability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts oromissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 ofthe DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Pursuant to Delaware law, this includeselimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to the Company and itsstockholders. However, our directors may be personally liable for liability:

 

  for any breach of duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders;
     
  for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
     
  for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
     
  for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
     
  In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that:
     
  we are required to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law or any other applicable law, subject to limited exceptions;
     
  we may indemnify our other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in Delaware law or any other applicable law;
     
  we are required to advance expenses to our directors and executive officers as incurred in connection with legal proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified; and
     
  the rights conferred in the amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.

 

OurRestated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws will include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowableunder the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officerof us, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as thecase may be. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws will also provide that we must indemnify and advancereasonable expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as maybe required under the DGCL. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation will expressly authorize us to carry directors’ andofficers’ insurance to protect us, our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. The limitation ofliability and indemnification provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws may discourage stockholdersfrom bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducingthe likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwisebenefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder,to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. Theprovisions will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adverselyaffected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directorsand officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding againstany of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
