NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, Amounts in Thousands, Except Share Data)
1. Basis of Presentation
On February 24, 2011, the Company changed its year-end from December 31 to June 30. The financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 and for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 reflect the results of operations of Function(x) Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), each a Delaware corporation. The financial information in this report for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have not been audited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
2. Organization and Background
Formation and Former Business
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994 and had no operating business or full-time employees from December 1996 to 2000, when it acquired all of the outstanding Common Stock of Oaktree Systems, Inc. (“Oaktree”). Through Oaktree, the Company provided cost effective marketing solutions to organizations needing sophisticated information management tools. In December 2007, Marketing Data, Inc. acquired an 80% interest in Oaktree for $1 and the Company’s ownership interest in Oaktree was reduced to 20% of Oaktree’s outstanding Common Stock. On October 24, 2010, Oaktree repurchased the Company’s remaining 20% interest in Oaktree for $0.10. As a result, Marketing Data, Inc. owned 100% of the outstanding Common Stock of Oaktree. After the disposition of the Company’s interest in Oaktree and prior to the Recapitalization, the Company was not active and had no operating business. After the disposition of the Oaktree interest, the Company began to explore the redeployment of its existing assets by identifying and merging with or investing in one or more operating businesses. The Board of Directors approved the Recapitalization effecting such change.
The Recapitalization
As previously disclosed, on February 7, 2011, Function(x) Inc. (formerly Gateway Industries, Inc., the “Company”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization (the “Recapitalization Agreement”) by and among the Company, Sillerman Investment Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sillerman”), and EMH Howard LLC, a New York limited liability company (“EMH Howard”).
Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, invested in the Company by acquiring 120,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in a private placement transaction at a price of $0.03 per share (on a post-split basis as described below), as a result of which Sillerman and the other investors acquired approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of common stock, with Sillerman (together with Robert F.X. Sillerman personally) directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. Upon consummation, the proceeds of the private placement of $3,600 ($220 in cash and $3,380 in five-year promissory notes with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the Recapitalization Agreement, which was 4.15% per annum) were received.
On February 16, 2011, immediately after the Recapitalization was consummated, the Company issued 13,232,597 shares of common stock to an institutional investor (for $10,000) at a price of approximately $0.76 per share, and 940,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor ($500) at a price of approximately $0.53 per share. The shares of common stock issued in such placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the safe harbors for sales under Section 4(2) provided by Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. Transfer of the shares was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.
On February 16, 2011, the Company issued a five year warrant for 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.80 per share to Berenson Investments LLC. Berenson & Company, LLC, an affiliate of Berenson Investments LLC, was the financial advisor to Sillerman in connection with the Recapitalization. On May 9, 2011, Berenson Investments LLC exercised the warrant and paid $80 for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company also issued 250,000 shares to J. Howard, Inc., an entity affiliated with Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt of $171 owed to J. Howard, Inc. The fair market value of the shares at issuance was $0.03 per share. The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount. In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company effectuated a 1 for 10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective on February 16, 2011. Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-tenth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
The newly recapitalized company changed its name to Function(X) Inc. effective as of the date of the Recapitalization and changed its name to Function(x) Inc. on June 22, 2011. It now conducts its business under the name Function(x) Inc., with the ticker symbol FNCX. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Project Oda, Inc. and Viggle Inc, each a Delaware corporation.
The Company’s New Line of Business
The Company plans to host, maintain, develop and operate a suite of digital products that will leverage proprietary technology. The initial products will be delivered via mobile applications and websites, marketed to high value media consumers. In addition, the Company is developing and managing software and databases for the identification of multimedia content, commercials, and promotional information that will be used on multiple types of internet-connected devices. We will also use our software and databases to deliver highly targeted advertising and marketing solutions via digital services, initially on mobile phones and other handheld mobile devices.
The Company’s initial product design will be distributed on a variety of mainstream mobile operating systems. The products will verify user engagement of various forms of entertainment content through a real-time check-in process. The initial market for the product targets TV audiences across various channels and platforms: broadcast and cable networks, live, time-shifted and on-demand television, as well as online distribution of television programming. The Company’s consumer participation and engagement will be limited to participants who are 13 years of age or older. The Company plans to introduce to its users an incentive program designed to encourage users to engage with various entertainment platforms and brand-specific content.
The Beta product was delivered for usability testing in September and will undergo further testing in the fourth quarter of calendar 2011. The Company is targeting an initial release to be made in such quarter or early 2012. The national launch to a wider general audience is scheduled for 2012.
Since the Recapitalization and prior to the end of the fiscal year, the Company hired personnel with diverse backgrounds in General Management in Digital Media and Entertainment, along with specialists in Product Development, Engineering, Marketing, Analytics, Sales and Business Development, and Human Resources, Finance and Legal for the purpose of furthering the business plan and building the first product.
Operations
We are creating a social media experience around traditional media consumption that encourages consumer participation and active engagement through incentives, brand-sponsored content, and network-sponsored content. We intend to market our service through various channels, including online advertising, broad-based media (such as television and radio), as well as various strategic partnerships. We intend to utilize co-location facilities and the services of third-party cloud computing providers, more specifically, Amazon Web Services, to help us efficiently manage and create our platform.
Revenue
Our plan is to derive revenues from advertising programs and marketing solutions generated from two revenue streams, entertainment providers and brand advertisers. We will begin operations by offering a new social media experience to consumers to drive engagement with providers and brands through our digital mobile services, with focus on smartphone applications. Initially, we anticipaterevenues to be generated substantially in the United States.
Seasonality
Our revenue is expected to exhibit a seasonal pattern that reflects variation in accordance with entertainment offerings and the desire of advertisers to try to influence consumers’ purchasing habits. As a consequence, revenue is expected to vary modestly throughout the year, although we anticipate revenues to be slowest in the third calendar quarter. Additionally, the growth in variable expenses associated with marketing, new product releases, consumer incentives, and advertising services will fluctuate with revenue, but not necessarily by the same percentage.
Recent Asset Purchase
On September 29, 2011 in furtherance of its business plan, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Project Oda, Inc., purchased certain assets of Mobile Messaging Solutions, Inc.’s Watchpoints business. The consideration for such transaction consisted of $2,500 in cash and 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $8.00 per share on the date of the transaction. The Watchpoints business is involved in developing, selling, maintaining and improving an interactive broadcast television application utilizing audio recognition technology. The assets purchased, and the related value allocated to each, include intellectual property ($4,209) and certain computer-related equipment ($11). The intellectual property included patent filings for audio verification technology and the provision of value-added programming/services based on such verification and trademarks for the “Watchpoints” name. The value allocated to the intellectual property will be amortized over the expected useful life of the Company’s software product. The Company also paid Kai Buehler, the CEO of Watchpoints, a $300 finder’s fee, which was expensed in the current quarter, and appointed him as a full-time Senior Vice President of the Company.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Change of Fiscal Year: On February 24, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change to the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with remaining maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value and primarily consists of money market funds that are readily convertible into cash. Restricted cash comprises amounts held in deposits that were required as collateral under the lease of office space.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, among others, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, net realizable values on long-lived assets, certain accrued expense accounts, and estimates related to stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s debt approximates fair value as current borrowing rates for the same or similar issues are the same as those that were given to the Company at the issuance of its debt.
Equipment
Equipment (consisting of computers, software, furniture and fixtures) is recorded at historical cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the depreciation method and period are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. The useful life of the equipment is being depreciated over three years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of September 30, 2011, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.
The Company, through its acquisition of Watchpoints, purchased certain intellectual property (trademark applications, patent applications, and domain names). As of September 30, 2011, no amortization of intellectual property has been recorded.
Internal Use Software
The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of internal use software in accordance with ASC 350-40. Once revenue producing activities commence, the Company will amortize the costs of computer software developed for internal use on a straight-line basis or appropriate usage basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Currently, the Company is in the application development stage of its computer software development and, appropriately, certain costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $1,212 and $0 as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
Marketing
Marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing expense for the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $903 and $0, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants issued. Stock-based awards issued to date are comprised of both restricted stock awards (RSUs) and employee stock options.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which requires additional disclosures about the amounts of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. This standard also clarifies existing disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring Level 2 and Level 3 measurements. Since this new accounting standard only required additional disclosure, the adoption of the standard in the first quarter of 2010 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, this standard will require additional disclosure and require an entity to present disaggregated information about activity in Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross basis, rather than one net amount.
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement”, which amends ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This standard will be effective beginning in the first calendar quarter of 2012 and the Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The ASU amends FASB Codification Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
4. Interest in Corporate Jet
As previously reported on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company executed an agreement with NJI Sales, Inc. (“NetJets”) to bundle a 3.125% fractional share of a G-IV jet owned by Mr. Sillerman with a value of $336 with a new 6.25% fractional share of a G-IV jet which was purchased from NetJets by the Company. The purchase price for the 6.25% interest was $1,175, payable $235 upon signing and the balance of $940 in debt with interest at 6% per annum, monthly payments of $9 and, a five-year balloon of $661. Monthly management fees (aggregate for both shares) are approximately $26. Based on the anticipated business travel schedule for Mr. Sillerman and the anticipated residual value of the plane at the end of the five-year period of usage, the Company is expected to realize cost savings. The Company’s Audit Committee approved entering into this related party transaction and on June 17, 2011, the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the transaction. The Company accounted for the transaction by recording the interests as investment assets and the related debt amount to NetJets. On June 30, 2011, the Company recorded $336 as debt to Mr. Sillerman. The $336 was appropriately moved to equity as of September 30, 2011. Depreciation expense related to these assets as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 is $85 and $0, respectively.

8. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, there were 300,000,000 shares of authorized common stock and 149,141,797 and 134,941,797 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Except as otherwise provided by Delaware law, the holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders.
The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. We may issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series as may be determined by our board of directors, who may establish the designation and number of shares of any series, and may determine, alter or revoke the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions pertaining to any wholly unissued series (but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding).
On August 25, 2011, the Company completed the placement of 14,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one (1) share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share of the Company and (ii) one (1) detachable three (3) year warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $4.00 per warrant share, at a purchase price of $2.50 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000 to accredited and institutional investors. The Units issued in such placement were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the safe harbors for sales under Section 4(2) provided by Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. Transfer of the shares was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act. The net proceeds of the offering, $35,000, are to be used for general corporate purposes, including marketing and product development. Tejas Securities Group, Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC acted as placement agents in connection with the offering and received cash compensation of $638 and $165, respectively. As additional compensation, Tejas Securities Group, Inc. received 285,000 Units in the August 25, 2011 private placement offering and a five-year warrant for 540,000 common shares at $2.50 per share and 100,000 warrants on the same basis as the investors, fair valued at $5,801.
As a result of Sillerman Investment Company, LLC’s participation in the placement, 2,560,000 units were considered to have been acquired by Robert F.X. Sillerman with a deemed fair value, based upon the traded value of the stock at the time, in excess of the price paid. This resulted in a non-cash compensation charge of $19,456.
9.Share-Based Payments
Equity Incentive Plan
The 2011 Executive Incentive Plan (the "Plan") of the Company was approved on February 21, 2011 by the written consent of the holder of a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Plan provides the Company the ability to grant to any officer, director, employee, consultant or other person who provides services to the Company or any related entity, options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards and performance awards, provided that only employees are entitled to receive incentive stock options in accordance with IRS guidelines. The Company reserved 30,000,000 shares of common stock for delivery under the Plan. Pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan and the employment agreements, between February 15, 2011 and September 30, 2011 the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the grants of restricted stock and stock options described below.
Restricted Stock
The per share fair value of RSUs granted with service conditions was determined on the date of grant using the fair market value of the shares on that date and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

The Company is accounting for these options at fair market value of the options on the date of grant, with the value being recognized over the requisite service period. No shares were vested as of September 30, 2011. The fair value of each option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of comparable companies’ stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rates. Options generally have a life of 10 years and vest over a period of 3 or 4 years. The fair value of the options granted during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 (none were granted in 2010) was estimated based on the following weighted average assumptions:

The total compensation expense of $1,930 was included in the accompanying Statement of Operations in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011. There were no such expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010. No shares actually vested during the periods and the grants provide for vesting annually in arrears over the next four years. As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $16,700 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost.
On August 12, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan for non-management directors. Each director is to receive 250,000 non-qualified stock options for common shares of the Company under the Executive Equity Incentive Plan. The initial grant of 1,250,000 non-qualified stock options was made on August 26, 2011 with each option having an exercise price of $2.50 per share and a fair market value of $4.42. One-fourth of the grant vested on the grant date and the balance will vest pro-rata annually in arrears over the next three years, so long as the director remains in office on the vesting date. The Company has taken a compensation charge in the first quarter of approximately $1,517 as a result of the foregoing grants.
On August 26, 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted a Company-wide stock option program and granted to 32 employees an aggregate of 3,545,000 non-qualified stock option. Of this total, 510,000 were issued with an exercise price of $2.50 per share and a fair market value of $4.45 per option, 1,535,000 were issued with an exercise price of $2.50 per share and a fair market value of $4.45 per option, and 1,500,000 were issued with an exercise price of $5.00 per share and a fair market value of $3.63 per option. The options vest over three to four years. The Company has taken a compensation charge in the first quarter of approximately $413 as a result of the foregoing grants.
Warrants
In connection with the August 25, 2011 private placement offering, the following warrants were issued:
Tejas Securities Group, Inc., as partial compensation for placement fees, was issued 540,000 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $2.50 per warrant, and 385,000 three-year warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 per warrant. Each of the warrants is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these warrants is $3,949.
Robert F.X. Sillerman was issued 2,560,000 three-year warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 per warrant. Each of the warrants is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these warrants is $9,216.
10. Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record an income tax benefit because it has incurred taxable losses and has no history of generating taxable income. For that reason, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets including its Net Operating Loss carryforward of $6,023 as of December 31, 2010. As a result of the change in control pursuant to the Recapitalization, the utilization the $6,023 Net Operating Loss carryforward will be substantially limited.
The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through its income tax expense.
The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction
11. Related Party Transactions
Recapitalization Notes
In connection with the Recapitalization, Robert F.X. Sillerman (and his spouse and entities controlled by him), and Mitchell Nelson, each executive officers of the Company, executed promissory notes in accordance with their subscription agreements for the payment of the purchase price of the shares, in the amounts of $3,242 and $10, respectively. Each note is an unsecured five-year note with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the Recapitalization Agreement (which was 4.15% per annum). Mr. Nelson satisfied his note on April 1, 2011. The notes are due five years after issuance, with interest accrued at the rate of 4.15% per annum, and have been presented as a reduction of the related paid in capital in the accompanying financial statements. Interest income recorded on these notes in the period ended September 30, 2011 is $35.
Shared Services Agreement
In an effort to economize on costs and be efficient in its use of resources, the Company entered into a shared services agreement with Circle Entertainment Inc. (“Circle”) as of February 15, 2011, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mitchell J. Nelson, its General Counsel and General Counsel to Circle. The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing on a 50/50 basis of the applicable support provided by either company to Mr. Nelson in connection with his capacity as General Counsel, and an allocation generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson, which are initially estimated to be divided evenly between the companies. The Company is responsible for advancing the salary to Mr. Nelson for both companies and will be reimbursed by Circle for such salary and benefits (but not for any bonus, option or restricted share grant made by either company, which will be the responsibility of the company making such bonus, option or restricted share grant). The agreement provides for the Chief Executive Officer or President of each Company to meet periodically to assess whether the services have been satisfactorily performed and to discuss whether the allocation has been fair. The Audit Committee of each company’s Board of Directors will then review and, if appropriate, approve the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances. Because this transaction is subject to certain rules regarding “affiliate” transactions, the Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors have approved the shared services agreement. This is deemed to be an affiliate transaction because Mr. Sillerman is Chairman and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company billed Circle $79 and $107, respectively. Such billings primarily relate to support, consisting of legal and administrative services. These services were approved by Circle’s Audit Committee and the Company’s Audit. The balance due from Circle on September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 was $26 and $25, respectively.
Certain Company accounting personnel may provide personal accounting services to our Executive Chairman, Robert F.X. Sillerman. To the extent that such services are rendered, Mr. Sillerman shall reimburse the Company therefor. The reimbursement for any such services shall be reviewed by the Company’s Audit Committee. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company billed Mr. Sillerman $14 and $18, respectively. The balance due from Mr. Sillerman on September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 was $9 and $4, respectively.
Private Placement
Sillerman Investment Company, LLC purchased units for $11,376 in the August 25, 2011 private placement. As a result of Sillerman Investment Company, LLC’s participation in the placement, 2,560,000 units were considered to have been acquired by Robert F.X. Sillerman with a deemed fair value, based upon the traded value of the stock at the time, in excess of the price paid. This resulted in a non-cash compensation charge of $19,456.

In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “assume” or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements in this Quarterly Report regarding our future strategy, future operations, projected financial position, estimated future revenue, projected costs, future prospects, and results that might be obtained by pursuing management’s current plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which this Quarterly Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We expressly disclaim any obligation to issue any updates or revisions to our forward-looking statements, even if subsequent events cause our expectations to change regarding the matters discussed in those statements. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our stockholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the historical audited financial statements and footnotes of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Our future results of operations may change materially from the historical results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements.
Overview
Function(x) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994, and was formerly known as Gateway Industries, Inc.
In February 2011, Function (X) Inc. completed a Recapitalization with Sillerman and EMH Howard. The newly recapitalized company changed its name to Function (X) Inc. effective as of the date of the Recapitalization and changed its name to Function(x) Inc. on June 22, 2011 and now conducts its business under the name Function(x) Inc., with the ticker symbol FNCX. We have two wholly owned subsidiaries, Project Oda, Inc. and Viggle, Inc. Upon completion of the Recapitalization, the Company changed course after being inactive from October 2010. The Recapitalization and the resulting change in management were the initial steps in the Company developing a new operating business. Its new direction is intended to provide a platform for investments in media and entertainment, with a particular emphasis on digital and mobile technology.
The Company’s New Line of Business
The Company’s business is to create and manage digital products and services that encourage consumer participation and active engagement with media and entertainment content. These digital media products are designed to accommodate a variety of media and entertainment experiences, including but not limited to television, movies, games and music. The Company plans to generate revenues from advertising, sponsorship, e-commerce and other sources based on the aggregation of registered users.
The Company plans to host, maintain, develop and operate a suite of digital products that will leverage proprietary technology. The initial products will be delivered via mobile applications and websites, marketed to high value media consumers. In addition, the Company is developing and managing software and databases for the identification of multimedia content, commercials, and promotional information that will be used on multiple types of internet-connected devices. We will also use our software and databases to deliver highly targeted advertising and marketing solutions via digital services, initially on mobile phones and other handheld mobile devices.
The Company’s initial product design will be distributed on a variety of mainstream mobile operating systems. The products will verify user engagement of various forms of entertainment content through a real-time check-in process. The initial market for the product targets TV audiences across various channels and platforms: broadcast and cable networks, live, time-shifted and on-demand television, as well as online distribution of television programming. The Company’s consumer participation and engagement will be limited to participants who are 13 years of age or older. The Company plans to introduce to its users an incentive program designed to encourage users to engage with various entertainment platforms and brand-specific content.
The Beta product was delivered for usability testing in September and will undergo further testing in the fourth quarter of calendar 2011. The Company is targeting an initial release to be made in such quarter or early 2012. The national launch to a wider general audience is scheduled for 2012.
Since the Recapitalization and prior to the end of the fiscal year, the Company hired personnel with diverse backgrounds in General Management in Digital Media and Entertainment, along with specialists in Product Development, Engineering, Marketing, Analytics, Sales and Business Development, and Human Resources, Finance and Legal for the purpose of furthering the business plan and building the first product.
Operations
We are creating a social media experience around traditional media consumption that encourages consumer participation and active engagement through incentives, brand-sponsored content, and network-sponsored content. We intend to market our service through various channels, including online advertising, broad-based media (such as television and radio), as well as various strategic partnerships. We intend to utilize co-location facilities and the services of third-party cloud computing providers, more specifically, Amazon Web Services, to help us efficiently manage and create our platform.
Revenue
Our plan is to derive revenues from advertising programs and marketing solutions generated from two revenue streams, entertainment providers and brand advertisers. We will begin operations by offering a new social media experience to consumers to drive engagement with providers and brands through our digital mobile services, with focus on smartphone applications. Initially, we anticipaterevenues to be generated substantially in the United States.
Seasonality
Our revenue is expected to exhibit a seasonal pattern that reflects variation in accordance with entertainment offerings and the desire of advertisers to try to influence consumers’ purchasing habits. As a consequence, revenue is expected to vary modestly throughout the year, although we anticipate revenues to be slowest in the third calendar quarter. Additionally, the growth in variable expenses associated with marketing, new product releases, consumer incentives, and advertising services will fluctuate with revenue, but not necessarily by the same percentage.
Competition
The market for digital and social media applications is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. New competitors may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost. Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple digital brands and products and can easily shift consumption from one provider to another. Our principal competitors are in segments such as the following:
● Applications promoting social TV experience and discussions; and
● White-label providers of social media and media-specific applications.
Recent Asset Purchase
On September 29, 2011 in furtherance of its business plan, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Project Oda, Inc., purchased certain assets of Mobile Messaging Solutions, Inc.’s Watchpoints business. The consideration for such transaction consisted of $2,500 in cash and 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $8.00 per share on the date of the transaction and direct transaction costs of $120. The Watchpoints business is involved in developing, selling, maintaining and improving an interactive broadcast television application utilizing audio recognition technology. The assets purchased, and the related value allocated to each, include intellectual property ($4,209) and certain computer-related equipment ($11). The intellectual property included patent filings for audio verification technology and the provision of value-added programming/services based on such verification and trademarks for the “Watchpoints” name. The value allocated to the intellectual property will be amortized over the expected useful life of the Company’s software product. The Company also paid Kai Buehler, the CEO of Watchpoints, a $300 finder’s fee, which was expensed in the current quarter, and appointed him as a full-time Senior Vice President of the Company.
The Recapitalization
Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, invested in the Company by acquiring 120,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in a private placement transaction at a price of $0.03 per share (on a post-split basis as described below), as a result of which Sillerman and the other investors acquired approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of common stock, with Sillerman (together with Robert F.X. Sillerman personally) directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. Upon consummation, the proceeds of the private placement of $3,600 ($220 in cash and $3,380 in five-year promissory notes with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the recapitalization agreement, which was 4.15% per annum) were received.
Immediately after the Recapitalization was consummated, the Company issued 13,232,597 shares of common stock to an institutional investor (for $10,000) at a price of approximately $0.76 per share, and 940,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor ($500) at a price of approximately $0.53 per share. The shares of common stock issued in such placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the safe harbors for sales under Section 4(2) provided by Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. Transfer of the shares was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.
On February 16, 2011, the Company issued a five-year warrant for 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.80 per share to Berenson Investments LLC. Berenson & Company, LLC, an affiliate of Berenson Investments LLC, was the financial advisor to Sillerman in connection with the Recapitalization. On May 9, 2011, Berenson Investments LLC exercised the warrant and paid $80 for 100,000 shares of our common stock.
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company also issued 250,000 shares to J. Howard, Inc., an entity affiliated with Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and its designees (which included former directors of the Company) in connection with partially extinguishing outstanding debt of $171 owed to J. Howard, Inc. The fair market value of the shares at issuance was $0.03 per share. The remaining debt of $163 was satisfied on February 15, 2011 by payment to J. Howard, Inc. in such amount. In addition, J. Howard, Inc. was paid $37 to be used for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Recapitalization on behalf of the Company.
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company effectuated a 1 for 10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-tenth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
Former Business
After our incorporation and during the period from December 1996 to March 2000, we had no operating business or full time employees. On March 21, 2000, we acquired Oaktree pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. Through Oaktree, we provided cost effective marketing solutions to organizations needing sophisticated information management tools. The purchase price of Oaktree was approximately $4,100, consisting of $2,000 in cash, the issuance of 600,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company and the assumption of approximately $650 of debt, which was repaid at the closing date, plus certain fees and expenses. In December 2007, Oaktree sold 5,624 shares of its common stock to Marketing Data, Inc., an affiliate of an officer of Oaktree, for $1. As a result, our ownership interest in Oaktree was reduced to 20% of Oaktree’s outstanding common stock. In connection with this transaction, we agreed to make a capital contribution of $225 to Oaktree at closing. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss on sale of subsidiary in the amount of $4,238 during the year ended December 31, 2007.
In July 2005, we sold 500,000 shares of 10% Series A Preferred Stock to Steel Partners II, L.P., an affiliate of Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, and, at the time, our largest stockholder, for a purchase price of $1,467. In addition, we sold to Steel Partners II warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.22 per share, for a purchase price of $33. On May 15, 2008, we repurchased all of the Preferred Stock and Warrants originally issued to Steel Partners II for a purchase price of $1. None of the Warrants were ever exercised by Steel Partners II and no dividend was paid on the Preferred Stock.
On October 24, 2010, Oaktree repurchased our remaining 20% interest in Oaktree for $0.1. As a result, Marketing Data, Inc. owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of Oaktree. The disposition of our interest in Oaktree enabled us to begin to explore the redeployment of our existing assets by identifying and merging with, or acquiring, or investing in, one or more operating businesses, which resulted in the Recapitalization.
Consolidated Operating Results Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2010
There was no operating revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 or September 30, 2010. Operating expenses were $33,630 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as against $2 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Revenue
There was no operating revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2011 or in the three months ended September 30, 2010.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased in the three months ended September 30, 2011 by $33,928 (including $29,764 of non-cash compensation charges), primarily due to personnel costs ($30,087, including $28,247 of employee non-cash compensation charges in non-cash stock-based compensation), Board of Director fees of $1,624 (including $1,517 of director non-cash compensation charges in connection with issuance of stock options), developing a new product($651), and the other costs associated with a startup company ($1,265). General and administrative expenses in 2010 were nominal.
Interest Income, Net
We had net interest income of $40in the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus $0 in the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had cash balances of $30,099 and $0, respectively. From 2007 until the Recapitalization, J. Howard, Inc., an affiliate of Jack L. Howard, a director and officer of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, advanced funds to the Company to support our daily operations.
Pursuant to the Recapitalization, Sillerman, together with other investors approved by Sillerman, invested in the Company by acquiring 120,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in a private placement transaction, in which we raised $3,600 ($220 in cash and $3,380 in five-year promissory notes with interest accruing at 4.15% per annum). In addition, 250,000 shares were issued to J. Howard, Inc. and its designees at a fair market value of $0.03 per share. Immediately after the recapitalization, as a result of the private placements to Adage Capital Management LP (“Adage”) and KPLB LLC (“KPLB”), both selling stockholders (in addition to J. Howard, Inc. and its designees) in the Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2011 and the Form S-1/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2011, we have raised $10,500.
On August 25, 2011, the Company completed the placement of 14,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one (1) share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share of the Company and (ii) one (1) detachable three (3) year warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $4.00 per warrant share, at a purchase price of $2.50 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000 to accredited and institutional investors. The proceeds of the offering, less expenses, are to be used for general corporate purposes, including marketing and product development. The Company believes that the net cash raised in the private placement should be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next fiscal year. For more information regarding the private placement, see Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
We are exposed to market risk arising from changes in market rates and prices, interest rates and the market price of our common stock. To mitigate these risks, we may utilize derivative financial instruments, among other strategies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
We are exposed to market risk arising from changes in market rates and prices, interest rates and the market price of our common stock. To mitigate these risks, we may utilize derivative financial instruments, among other strategies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To the extent that our deposits are in excess of Federal deposit insurance program maximums, we bear that potential risk.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We presently have no operations outside the United States. As a result, we do not believe that our financial results have been or will be materially impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Although certain subscription agreements were funded on the basis of promissory notes, the interest rate in those notes has been fixed and is not subject to variation. To the extent that we have or maintain deposits with financial institutions that pay interest on those deposits, we have market risk.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities & Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of September 30, 2011, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404) and as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management is required to provide the following report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:
1. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
2. The Company’s management has evaluated the system of internal control using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework. Management has selected the COSO framework for its evaluation as it is a control framework recognized by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board that is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurement of the Company’s internal controls, is sufficiently complete so that relevant controls are not omitted and is relevant to an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting.
3. Based on management’s evaluation under this framework, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011 was effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
