CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of 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 Annual 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. Important risks that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Annual Report and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which this Annual Report was filed with the 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 differences might be significant and materially adverse to our stockholders.

Our Business
Our Vision
Viggle makes TV more rewarding.
Our Strategy
Viggle is an incentive-based, interactive loyalty platform developed to enhance the TV viewing experience and make TV more rewarding. We seek to enhance the TV experience by helping viewers decide what to watch and when, enhance the viewing experience with real time games and additional content, and reward viewers for being loyal to their favorite shows throughout a season. For advertisers, Viggle provides clients targeted and interactive ads to amplify their TV messaging. For TV networks and content producers, Viggle delivers promotional benefits by driving tune-ins to specific shows, engaging the consumers in a richer content experience, and increasing awareness of promoted shows. The result of all this interaction creates the definitive interest graph for TV. As a media company, we seek to attract an ever-larger audience in order to sell advertising. We believe that making TV more rewarding and engaging around the shows consumers love, will drive them to use Viggle.
Overview of our Service
U.S. consumers can become Viggle users through a free App that works on multiple types of mobile phones and tablets and is distributed through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. After a consumer downloads the App, he/she must create an account. Viggle then provides the ability for customers to play along with TV shows, to share comments through social media, to answer trivia questions or polls, to chat with friends, play games, or to discover more about the show, all while they watch TV.
The user experience is simple. While watching TV, a user taps the "check-in" button which activates the device's microphone. Viggle collects an audio sample of what the user is watching on television and uses proprietary technology to convert that sample into a digital fingerprint. Within seconds, that proprietary digital fingerprint is matched against a database of reference fingerprints that are collected from at least 170 English and Spanish television channels within the United States. We are able to verify TV check-ins across broadcast, cable, online, satellite, time-shifted and on-demand content. The ability to verify check-ins is critical because users are rewarded points for each check-in and engagement. Users can redeem the points within the rewards catalog for items that have a monetary value such as gift cards, unique deals and offers, electronics, sweepstakes, charitable donations, and Viggle-branded merchandise. Once a customer has "checked-in" to a show, the App provides a set of optional games, tools, and information to enhance the TV experience.
Viggle points can be earned through five different activities: WatchPoints (1 point for every minute a user is checked-in on Viggle), Bonus Points (added points for watching promoted shows), Live Engagement Points (points earned for playing MyGuy, Viggle Live or other games), Streaks and Quests (added points for watching a series of shows), and Advertising Points (revenue we share with our customers in the form of points).
An illustration of how our App works is shown below:
Since our launch on January 25, 2012, and through June 30, 2013, 3,253,464 users have registered for Viggle, of which we have deactivated 190,929 for a total of 3,062,535 registered users. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we have accumulated an average of 757,273 monthly active users. Monthly active users are computed by determining those users that are both registered on the Viggle App and that have earned or redeemed points, other than points received for registering for the Viggle App, in the particular month. As of June 30, 2013, our members have checked-in to 265,378,396 TV programs and spent an average of approximately 68 minutes of active time within the Viggle App per session. Active users are defined as those who earned a point or redeemed a point that day. Users have redeemed a total of 1,959,395 rewards.
Our rewards catalog consists primarily of gift cards for consumer goods in amounts ranging from $5.00 to $25.00. There are other rewards, primarily physical products, that can be earned for significantly more reward points, and offers that deliver meaningful discounts to our users for fewer points. For example, a $5.00 Starbucks gift card can be earned for 12,500 points, a $25.00 Best Buy Gift card can be earned for 62,500 points, a Kindle Fire for 482,500 points, and an offer of 20% off a purchase at Fanatics.com for 3,000 points. From time to time, we may change the rewards offered and the number of points required to earn any given reward. For the 1,959,395 reward redemptions through June 30, 2013, the average number of points used per redemption has been approximately 13,060 points and the total retail value to consumers was approximately $13.4 million.
It is not possible to earn points on the Viggle App without registering. In order to avoid double-counting and limit the instances of fraud, the App is limited to five accounts per device (so as to allow for use by family members sharing a device), users are limited to a maximum of 6,000 points per day and users are not able to share or combine points with different users or devices. While it is possible for users to establish multiple accounts which could overstate our actual number of registered active users and permit those fraudulent users to attempt to evade our rules in an effort to accumulate excess points by checking-in to TV shows at the same time on different devices, we monitor for such activity and, when discovered, take corrective action according to our published terms and conditions.
Our Technology
The first version of the App was approved by Apple and launched to the public in the Apple iTunes App Store on January 25, 2012. It has been updated periodically. The approved version of the App works on Apple iOS devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. On June 27, 2012, we released a version of the Application for use on Android smartphones and tablets. Although we have launched the App to the public, there is no guarantee how effectively the technology will perform. We continuously test and update the App with a goal of improving overall performance and usability.
We will consider adding versions for other mainstream mobile operating systems such as Windows Phone and Blackberry based on demand and other business factors. Distribution of the product will occur via regular online marketplaces for content and applications used by such mobile operating systems, and will include iTunes for iOS devices or the Android marketplace for devices using the Android operating system.
The back-end technology for the App has been designed to accommodate the significant numbers of simultaneous check-ins required to support prime time television audiences. This back-end technology is currently operational and has the capacity to support simultaneous check-ins around major television events such as the Super Bowl. In addition to our own dedicated co-location facilities on the east and west coasts, we are using third-party cloud computing services from Amazon Web Services to help us scale our technical capacity as efficiently as possible.
The technology supporting our unique feature of digital fingerprinting and our matching technology is subject to a currently unissued but pending patent.
Our Revenues
We began generating revenues in early calendar year 2012. Advertising is sold directly to brand marketers, television networks or through advertising agencies by our dedicated sales team. We also generate revenue through partnerships with third party mobile advertising networks. Our focus is on brand marketers that are most relevant to our target demographic of consumers between the ages of 18 and 49, and are active in television, digital and retail marketing. Our sales team is also briefing large advertising and media agencies on our capabilities so that they might recommend integration of our Application into their client proposals. We generate revenue from standard mobile media advertising sales and affiliate programs:
| |
• | when our users click and view advertisements in our App; |
| |
• | when our users complete an engagement (defined as a poll, video quiz, game or slide show) appearing in our App that is created by an advertising agency, our brand partners or our team; and |
| |
• | through affiliate or bounty commissions from third parties if our users purchase items or subscribe to services after clicking from our App to other apps or websites. |
With the exception of one-time sponsorships with advertisers (which are charged a separate and specific fee), all advertising is serviced via a third-party advertising server for billing and verification purposes. Revenues are generated by measuring
delivered impressions on a cost per thousand (CPM) basis and completed engagements on a cost per engagement (CPE) basis. Our sales team contracts with brand advertisers to deliver a specific number of impressions and/or engagements for a specific price per thousand impressions and/or per completed engagement. The third-party ad server then serves the ads and/or engagements within the App during the course of using the Viggle App. As impressions and engagements are delivered and completed, we bill brand partners or advertising agencies on a monthly basis for the media delivered at our contracted rates.
Our Target Consumers
While most people watch television, we are targeting male and female consumers between the ages of 18 and 49. This target audience was selected due to the amount of TV they consume on a weekly basis, as well as the likelihood that they will have smartphones and other wireless devices such as tablets and laptops with them while viewing television. To build our user base, we will target this audience using traditional media techniques such as direct response, banner and mobile advertising, public relations, search engine optimization and search engine marketing across online, broadcast and print media outlets.
When a user signs up for and downloads our App, we collect the user's email, zip code, television provider and date of birth. The email enables us to verify the user and reduces the chance of fraud. The zip code allows us to present a relevant list of cable and satellite providers to the user to deliver the correct channel listing data. Knowing the television provider in turn helps us to increase the rate of success for television show matching. We encourage users to provide additional information such as their physical mailing address. Knowing the user's birthday allows us to verify that the user is at least 13 years old. The physical mailing address is required for the delivery of physical goods selected by the user in the Application rewards catalog. This information also helps us better target relevant advertising to the user. We manage this information in adherence with standard privacy policies and regulations.
Our Competitive Position
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, making it easy to shift consumption from one provider to another. Additionally, the “Social TV” category is nascent and has yet to attract the attention of mainstream consumers and marketers. Many of our competitors are larger, more established, better funded, and have a history of successful operations. Although we launched the first version of our App in January 2012, there can be no assurance of how successful the product will be or how effectively the technology will perform.
While there are a variety of companies currently in the market that offer either manual check-in or audio verification, we believe our App differs significantly because we offer users real, as opposed to virtual, rewards such as movie tickets, music cards and gift cards, and we drive our customers to engage and interact with TV shows for longer periods of time. We offer a comprehensive range of features and functionality, such as automatic check-ins using audio verification, in-app digital advertising engagements (such as games or videos, real-time polls and quizzes) and full social media integration that rewards our users for being more loyal to their TV shows and provide our users with, we believe, more enjoyment at the same time. Such integration makes it easy for users to share what they are doing within the Application with their social network and to follow show-specific commentary on Twitter and Facebook. We also offer the user a listing of current and upcoming shows for which they can set reminders, learn more information and indicate their support of the show by “liking” it.
Other companies in the “Social TV” market focus on the simple ability of a user to communicate their television viewing activity to others in the user's social media circles. Instead of real rewards, these companies offer their users virtual points, leader board status, digital badges or stickers. We believe that our target market will be motivated by the ability to earn real rewards on a frequent basis and to interact in real time via show-specific polls, quizzes, videos and games.
Recent Acquisitions (amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
WatchPoints
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 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $16.00 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, included 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 is being amortized over the expected useful life of the Company's software products.
Loyalize
On December 31, 2011, in furtherance of its business plan, the Company, through a newly created wholly owned subsidiary, FN(x) I Holding Corporation, now known as Loyalize Inc (“FN(x) I” or “Loyalize”), purchased from Trusted Opinion Inc. (“Trusted Opinion”), substantially all of its assets, including certain intellectual property and other assets relating to the “Loyalize” business owned by Trusted Opinion, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement executed by the Company and FN(x) I on such date (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) . In consideration for its purchase of such assets, the Company paid Trusted Opinion $3,185 in cash and agreed to deliver 137,519 of the Company's common shares as follows: 32,627 shares delivered directly to Trusted Opinion within three business days of delivery of the financial statements and 104,892 shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) delivered within three business days of closing to American Stock Transfer and Trust Company LLC, as escrow agent, which were held until December 31, 2012 to secure certain representations, warranties and indemnities given by Trusted Opinion under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The value of the 137,519 common shares as of the date of closing at $1,719 based on the $12.50 per share closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of closing. In addition to certain minor purchase price adjustments to be made post-closing, the Company was obligated to also fund as a purchase price adjustment the difference, if any, by which $1,839 exceeds the calculated value (computed based on the average closing price of the Company's common shares during the 20 days prior to December 31, 2012) of the 137,519 shares on December 31, 2012, either in cash or in common shares of the Company, at the Company's option. The Company elected to pay this obligation in shares of its common stock, and on February 11, 2013, issued 1,171,712 shares of its common stock in satisfaction of this obligation.
TIPPT Media Inc.
On December 23, 2011, the Company obtained a sixty-five (65%) percent ownership interest in TIPPT Media Inc. ("TIPPT"). In consideration for its investment in TIPPT, the Company paid $2,000 in cash, forgave the repayment of a $250 promissory note owed to the Company by TIPPT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the minority stockholder of TIPPT, and agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to 115% of the 20-day trading average of the Company's common stock if certain performance conditions were met within four months of the closing of the transaction. The Company believed it was probable that the performance conditions would be met and thus the fair value of the warrants were recorded. The shares of common stock exercisable under the warrant were valued at $2,378 using the Black Scholes valuation model.
The Company determined that immediately before the transaction, the activities of TIPPT did not constitute a business. Therefore, the Company accounted for the TIPPT transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
On May 14, 2012, the Company sold to TIPPT LLC a 50% ownership interest in TIPPT for $500, payable by a Purchase Money Note with interest accruing at 4% per annum and maturing on December 31, 2016. The Company retained a 15% ownership interest in TIPPT. TIPPT issued an Amended and Restated Promissory Note to the Company pursuant to which TIPPT agreed to pay the Company $1,201, which represented $701 of working capital advances and an additional $500 that the Company agreed to loan to TIPPT.
As part of the Company's review of the fair value of its intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company 1) derecognized the $2,378 of contingent consideration attributable to the Company's warrant that was to be issued to TIPPT LLC because the warrant was never issued; and 2) performed a review of the fair value of the remaining $2,250 carrying value the intellectual property contracts. The Company recorded an impairment charge for the full carrying value of such contracts. Accordingly, the carrying value at June 30, 2012 was zero. Also, based on the limited financial resources of TIPPT and TIPPT LLC, the Company fully reserved the $500 Purchase Money Note and the $1,201 relating to the Amended and Restated Promissory Note described above. The total charge of $3,951 is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Intellectual Property
As of June 30, 2013, the Company has filed to protect its initial trademarks and has filed patents to protect its technology, which are currently pending. We anticipate that there will be patent and other filings in the future. We intend to protect any intellectual property rights we may acquire in the future through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, rights of publicity, and other laws, as well as licensing agreements and third party nondisclosure and assignment agreements. Our
failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Employees
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a total of 108 full-time employees. Management considers its relations with its employees to be good.
Principal Executive Offices
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 902 Broadway, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10010 and our telephone number is (212) 231-0092.
Available Information

We electronically files reports and other information with, and electronically furnish reports and other information to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such reports and other information filed or furnished by the Company may be inspected and copied at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the operation of the Public Reference Room. The Securities and Exchange Commission also maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy statements and other information about issuers, like us, who file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The address of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website is http://www.sec.gov.
In addition, the Company makes available free of charge through its website, http://www.viggle.com, its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (commencing March 31, 2011), current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after such documents are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Various portions of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including those set forth below and elsewhere in this report.
Since we have limited financial resources and a limited operating history and minimal revenues to date, we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company.
We have limited financial resources and minimal revenues to date. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive environment in which we operate. Since we have a limited operating history, we cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to fully meet our expenses and totally support our anticipated activities.
Our ability to continue as a business and implement our business plan will depend on our ability to raise sufficient debt or equity if our revenue is not sufficient, as is now the case. There is no assurance such debt and/or equity offerings will be successful or that we will remain in business or be able to implement our business plan if such offerings are not successful.
If we are unable to successfully develop and market our products or features or our products or features do not perform as expected, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
With the release of any new product or any new features to an existing product, we are subject to the risks generally associated with new product or feature introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, delays in development and implementation, and failure of new products or features to perform as expected. In order to introduce and market new or enhanced products or features successfully with minimal disruption in customer purchasing patterns and user experiences, we
must manage the transition from existing products in the market. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop and market, on a timely basis, products, product enhancements or features that respond to technological advances by others, that our new products will adequately address the changing needs of the market or that we will successfully manage product transitions. Further, failure to generate sufficient cash from operations or financing activities to develop or obtain improved products and technologies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, our technology is under continual development. While certain aspects of the product may currently be functioning on a basic level, we must perform more testing to ensure that the different components work together effectively and the audio sampling and matching technology being developed by us is accurate, performs well and integrates with metadata and points systems. Although the product has been launched for use on Apple iOS and Android devices, there is no assurance that the product will generate sufficient income from brand and network advertisers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Since there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as noted in BDO USA, LLP's opinion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, it may be difficult for the Company to effectuate its business plan.
The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet successfully established profitable operations. Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Costs and expenses, or the inability to generate increased revenues, will likely require additional financing; which would be sought through equity or debt financing, or asset sales. The fact that there are going concern considerations may make raising additional funds or obtaining loans more difficult. To the extent financing is not available, the Company may not be able to, or may be delayed in, implementing its business plan, developing its property and/or meeting its obligations. This could result in the entire loss of any investment in shares of the Company's common stock. The Company will continue to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to evaluate additional means of financing in order to satisfy its working capital and other cash requirements. Details regarding these concerns are included in the notes to the Financial Statements included in this filing (for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013).
We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock that would dilute your ownership.
We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions and develop strategic relationships, by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing common stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our common stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of common stock. The holders of any debt securities or instruments we may issue would likely have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders.
Our common stock price may fluctuate significantly and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Because we are a newly established operating company, there are few objective metrics by which our progress may be measured. Consequently, we expect that the market price of our common stock will likely fluctuate significantly. There can be no assurance whether or when we will generate revenue from the license, sale or delivery of our unique products and services. In the absence of product revenue as a measure of our operating performance, we anticipate that investors and market analysts will assess our performance by considering factors such as:
|
| |
• | announcements of developments related to our business; |
|
| |
• | developments in our strategic relationships with companies; |
|
| |
• | our ability to enter into or extend investigation phase, development phase, commercialization phase and other agreements with new and/or existing partners; |
|
| |
• | announcements regarding the status of any or all of our collaborations or products; |
|
| |
• | market perception and/or investor sentiment regarding our products and services; |
|
| |
• | announcements regarding developments in the digital and mobile technology and the broadcast and entertainment industries in general; |
|
| |
• | the issuance of competitive patents or disallowance or loss of our patent or trademark rights; and |
|
| |
• | quarterly variations in our operating results. |
We will not have control over many of these factors but expect that our stock price may be influenced by them. As a result, our stock price may be volatile and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The market for purchases and sales of our common stock may be very limited, and the sale of a limited number of shares could cause the price to fall sharply.
Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of our common stock.
Since we do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, and we may never pay dividends, you may not realize a return on your investment unless the price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your common stock.
We will not distribute cash to our stockholders unless and until we can develop sufficient funds from operations to meet our ongoing needs and execute our business plan. The time frame for this is inherently unpredictable, and you should not plan on it occurring in the near future, if at all. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.
Since we are controlled by our current insiders and their affiliates, you and our other non-management stockholders will be unable to affect the outcome in matters requiring stockholder approval.
As of September 17, 2013, approximately 52,088,000 shares of our common stock, not including warrants, options, or rights to acquire common stock, are owned by Mr. Sillerman and current affiliates and insiders representing control of approximately 69.3% of the total voting power, with Mr. Sillerman directly or indirectly beneficially owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, Mr. Sillerman essentially has the ability to elect all of our directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder action, without the vote of any other stockholders. It is possible that the interests of Mr. Sillerman could conflict in certain circumstances with those of other stockholders. Such concentrated ownership may also make it difficult for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock in the event we merge with a third party or enter into other transactions that require shareholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
We rely on key members of management, and the loss of their services could adversely affect our success and development.
Our success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of management. These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and ability to meet our business objectives. In particular, our success is highly dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers and our directors, particularly Mr. Sillerman. The loss of our executive officers and directors could slow the growth of our business, or it may cease to operate at all, which may result in the total loss of an investor's investment.
Compensation may be paid to our officers, directors and employees regardless of our profitability, which may limit our ability to finance our business plan and adversely affect our business.
Mr. Sillerman and other officers are receiving compensation, and any other current or future employees of our company may be entitled to receive compensation, payments and reimbursements, regardless of whether we operate at a profit or a loss. Any compensation received by Mr. Sillerman or any other senior executive in the future will be determined from time to time by the board of directors or our Compensation Committee. Such obligations may negatively affect our cash flow and our ability to finance our business plan, which could cause our business to fail.
Some of our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest in business opportunities that may be disadvantageous to us.
Mr. Sillerman and Mr. Nelson are each engaged in other business endeavors, including serving as executive officers of Circle Entertainment Inc. (“Circle”). Additionally, Mr. Sillerman is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SFX, a new company in the live entertainment business, and Mr. Nelson is a Senior Legal Adviser to such company. Mr. Sillerman is a director of Circle and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Circle. Under Mr. Sillerman's employment agreement, he is obligated to devote his working time to our affairs, but may continue to devote time to other outside non-competitive businesses. Mr. Sillerman has agreed to present to us any business opportunities related to or appropriate for our business. Pursuant to Mr. Nelson's employment agreement, he is obligated to devote such time and attention to our affairs as is necessary for him to perform his duties as Executive Vice President. He is also entitled to perform similar functions for Circle and/or SFX pursuant to shared services agreements described in Note 12, Related Party Transactions to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed with this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, our newest director, Michael Meyer, is a member of the board of directors and chair of the audit committee of both Circle and SFX. Certain of our other employees, including employees in Human Resources, IT management and office management, also perform services for SFX under shared services agreements and certain SFX employees may perform services for us. Although Circle, SFX, and our company have generally different business plans, interests and programs, it is conceivable there may be a conflict of interest in determining where a potential opportunity should be brought. Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of our corporate policy, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors, as set forth in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics also sets forth the procedures to follow in the event that a potential conflict of interest arises. For a description of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, please see the section entitled “Corporate Governance” below.
Our business and growth may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key officers or employees.
Our success depends on the expertise and continued service of Mr. Sillerman, and certain other key executives and technical personnel. It may be difficult to find a sufficiently qualified individual to replace Mr. Sillerman or other key executives in the event of death, disability or resignation, resulting in our inability to implement our business plan.
Furthermore, our ability to expand operations to accommodate our anticipated growth will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified media, management, finance, marketing, sales and technical personnel. However, competition for these types of employees is intense due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Our ability to meet our business development objectives will depend in part on our ability to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand our technology and business. We believe that we will be able to attract competent employees, but no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard. If we are unable to engage and retain the necessary personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
We are uncertain of our ability to manage our growth.
Our ability to grow our business is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to hire, train and assimilate management and other employees, the adequacy of our financial resources, our ability to identify and efficiently provide new products and services that our customers may require in the future, and our ability to adapt our own systems to accommodate expanded operations.
Because of pressures from competitors with more resources, we may fail to implement our business strategy profitably.
The digital and mobile technology business is highly fragmented, extremely competitive, and subject to rapid change. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of
new solutions and enhancements to existing businesses developed by us and our competitors. We are an entertainment company that utilizes digital media and Smartphone technology. If we are successful, larger and more established entertainment companies, with significantly greater resources, may try to enter the market with similar technologies, and may be in better competitive positions than we are. 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:
|
| |
• | Applications promoting social TV experiences and discussions; and |
|
| |
• | White label providers of social media and media-specific applications. |
Additionally, new competitors may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost. Either existing or new competitors may develop new technologies, and our existing and potential advertisers may shift their advertising expenditures to these new technologies. Therefore, we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully execute our business strategy in the face of such competition.
We may be unable to compete with larger or more established companies in two industries.
We face a large and growing number of competitors in the digital and mobile technology and entertainment industries. If we successfully combine digital and mobile technology with entertainment, we will have competitors from both the digital and mobile technology and entertainment industries. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and more established relationships in these industries than do we. As a result, certain of these competitors may be in better positions to compete with us for customers and audiences. Further, our current and/or future competitors in the digital and mobile technology industry may develop or license technology that is similar to the Viggle App. We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.
If our products do not achieve market acceptance, we may not have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or further development.
While we believe that a viable market exists for the products we are developing, there is no assurance that our technology will prove to be an attractive alternative to conventional or competitive products in the markets that we have identified. In the event that a viable market for our products cannot be created for our business or our products do not achieve market acceptance, we may need to commit greater resources than are currently available to develop a commercially viable and competitive product. There can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources to fund such development or that such development would be successful. Further, our business requires the use of capital resources to purchase rewards for our rewards program, as discussed more fully below in the section entitled “The Company's 12-Month Plan for its Business.” In addition, as we grow our number of registered active users, our rewards costs will increase. We will need to increase our revenue per registered active user in order to cover our rewards costs and to become profitable; there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. Additionally, there is no guarantee that we will have sufficient resources to fund our rewards program, which will have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Moreover, if our products do not generate sufficient revenues, or we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be unable to fund our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend on financial, economic and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that, when required, sufficient funds will be available to us on satisfactory terms.
Our business will suffer if our network systems fail or become unavailable.
A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure would harm our ability to distribute our products to our users, and, therefore, potentially harm our reputation and ability to attract and retain users and content providers. Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Our systems could also be subject to viruses, break-ins, sabotage, acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, hacking, cyber-terrorism and similar misconduct. We might not carry adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of products, or an increase in response time, could result in a loss of potential customers or content providers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, then our products and services could be less attractive to our users and our business would be materially harmed.
If we fail to detect fraud, including click fraud, other invalid clicks on ads, or improper engagements, we could lose the confidence of our current and potential advertiser clients, incur additional costs, or both, which would cause our business to suffer.
We are exposed to the risk of fraudulent and other invalid clicks or conversions that advertisers may perceive as undesirable or that may cost us additional money for points given in connection with such activity. While our terms and conditions limit one account per person and we have specific controls in place to avoid fraud, such as limiting the number of accounts allowed per device and the number of points per day, there is no guarantee that our controls will be effective. As a result, estimates of our registered users, monthly active users or other statistical information may be inflated as there may be some instances of double-counting users. We are aware that some people will attempt to evade our rules in an effort to accumulate excess points through a multitude of methods including, but not limited to, establishing multiple accounts, mimicking App activity through “scripting,” and using multiple devices simultaneously. We monitor our users to determine if any are attempting to do so and consider this fraudulent activity a violation of our published terms and conditions. We invalidate users whom we believe to violate these terms and conditions and continually make efforts to improve our systems to detect fraud and improve our defenses. Through June 30, 2013, we have invalidated 190,929 accounts for suspicious activity of a total of 3,253,464 registered accounts. Invalid clicks could result from inadvertent clicks or click fraud, where a mobile device user intentionally clicks on ads for reasons other than to access the underlying content of the ads. If fraudulent or other malicious activity is perpetrated by others, and we are unable to detect and prevent it, the affected advertisers may experience or perceive a reduced return on their investment. High levels of invalid click activity could lead to dissatisfaction with our advertising services, refusals to pay, refund demands or withdrawal of future business. If fraudulent or other malicious activity occurs, and we are unable to detect and prevent it, we could also experience increased costs relating to awarding points as a result of these activities. Any of these occurrences could damage our brand and lead to a loss of advertisers and revenue and increased costs.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights from third-party claims and litigation, which could be expensive, divert management's attention, and harm our business.
Our success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our proprietary rights and our ability to avoid infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We seek patent protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us. Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products. This may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party products that compete with our products and processes. In the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our products, processes, patents or licenses, or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and out financial condition.
We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property and other contractual agreements for our business will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated.
In addition, we use open source software in our services and will continue to use open source software in the future. From time to time, we may be subject to claims brought against companies that incorporate open source software into their products or services, claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the source code, the open source software and/or derivative works that were developed using such software, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to changing our products or services, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.
The SEC opened a formal order of investigation relating to a matter regarding certain dealings in our securities by an unaffiliated third party. In addition, we have also received an informal request from the SEC for the voluntary production of documents and information concerning certain aspects of our business and technology. Although we have provided documents in response to the SEC's request, there is no assurance that the SEC will not take any action against us.
The SEC opened a formal order of investigation relating to a matter regarding certain dealings in our securities by an unaffiliated third party. We have also received an informal request from the staff of the SEC, dated June 11, 2012, for the voluntary production of documents and information concerning certain aspects of our business and technology. We initially provided documents in response to such request on July 2, 2012, and we have provided supplements and documents for additional questions, as requested. We intend to cooperate with the SEC regarding this matter and any other requests we may receive. However, there is no assurance that the SEC will not take any action against us. A determination by the SEC to take action against us could be costly and time consuming, could divert the efforts and attention of our directors, officers and employees from the operation of our business and could result in sanctions against us, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Our common stock is subject to risks arising from restrictions on reliance on Rule 144 by shell companies or former shell companies.
Under a regulation of the SEC known as “Rule 144,” a person who has beneficially owned restricted securities of an issuer and who is not an affiliate of that issuer may sell them without registration under the Securities Act provided that certain conditions have been met. One of these conditions is that such person has held the restricted securities for a prescribed period, which will be 6 months or 1 year, depending on various factors. However, Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of securities issued by an issuer that is a shell company (other than a business combination related shell company) or that has been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC defines a shell company as a company that has (a) no or nominal operations and (b) either (i) no or nominal assets, (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Until the Recapitalization, we were a shell company.
The SEC has provided an exception to this unavailability if and for as long as the following conditions are met:
|
| | |
| • | The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company, |
|
| | |
| • | The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, |
|
| | |
| • | The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and |
|
| | |
| • | At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company known as “Form 10 Information.” |
As a result, although we have filed “Form 10 Information” as of July 24, 2012, stockholders who receive our restricted securities will be able to sell them pursuant to Rule 144 without registration only as long as we continue to meet those requirements and are not a shell company. No assurance can be given that we will continue to meet these requirements or that we will not again be a shell company. Furthermore, any non-registered securities we sell in the future or issue for acquisitions or to consultants or employees in consideration for services rendered, or for any other purpose will have limited or no liquidity until and unless such securities are registered with the SEC and/or until a year after we have complied with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, it may be harder for us to fund our operations, to acquire assets and to pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder for us to raise funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the SEC, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. In addition, if we are unable to attract additional capital, it could have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our business and sustain our operations. Our status as a former “shell company” could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless.
Changes to federal, state or international laws or regulations applicable to our business could adversely affect our business.
Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to privacy, advertising generally, consumer protection, content regulation, intellectual property, defamation, child protection,
advertising to and collecting information from children, taxation, employment classification and billing. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management's attention. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
There are many federal, state and international laws that may affect our business, including measures to regulate consumer privacy, the use of copyrighted material, the collection of certain data, network neutrality, patent protection, cyber security, child protection, subpoena and warrant processes, taxes and tax reporting (including issuing IRS 1099 forms to our users), gift cards, employee classification, employee health care, and others. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
In addition, most states have enacted legislation governing the breach of data security in which sensitive consumer information is released or accessed. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
Many of our potential partners are subject to industry specific laws, regulations or licensing requirements, including in the following industries: pharmaceuticals, online gaming, alcohol, adult content, tobacco, firearms, insurance, securities brokerage, real estate, sweepstakes, free trial offers, automatic renewal services and legal services. If any of our advertising partners fail to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, our business could be adversely affected. Furthermore, these laws may also limit the way we advertise our products and services or cause us to incur compliance costs, which could affect our revenues and could further adversely impact our business.
There are a number of significant matters under review and discussion with respect to government regulations which may affect the business we intend to enter and/or harm our customers, and thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On August 17, 2012, the Company was served with a patent infringement lawsuit filed on August 13, 2012 by Blue Spike, LLC ("Blue Spike") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division (Civil Action No. 6:12-CV-526). The lawsuit claims patent infringement under U.S. Patent numbers 7,346,472, 7,660,700, 7,949,494, and 8,214,715 in connection with the Company's audio recognition technology.
Blue Spike has commenced suits against numerous companies involving the same patent family, including Peer Media Technologies, Inc., The Echo Nest Corporation, Free Stream Media Corp., iPharro Media GmbH, iPharro Media, Inc., Shazam Entertainment, Ltd., Texas Instruments Incorporated, BIO-Key International, Inc., TuneSat, LLC, Vercury Inc., and SoundHound.
The Company denies that it is infringing on any valid, enforceable claims of the asserted patents and intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. The Company filed its answer on October 3, 2012.
We are subject to litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate result of our outstanding legal matters cannot presently be determined, the Company does not expect that the ultimate disposition will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations.

Overview
Viggle Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994, and was formerly known as Function (x) Inc, Function (X) Inc. and Gateway Industries, Inc.
Viggle is an incentive-based, interactive loyalty platform developed to enhance the TV viewing experience and make TV more rewarding. We seek to enhance the TV experience by helping viewers decide what to watch and when, enhance the viewing experience with real time games and additional content and reward viewers for being loyal to their favorite shows throughout a season. For advertisers, Viggle provides clients targeted and interactive ads to amplify their TV messaging. For TV Networks and content producers, Viggle delivers promotional benefits by driving tune-ins to specific shows, engaging the consumers in a richer content experience, and increasing awareness of promoted shows. The result of all this interaction creates the definitive interest graph for TV. As a media company, we seek to attract an ever-larger audience in order to sell advertising. We believe that making TV more rewarding and engaging consumers around the shows they love will drive consumers to use Viggle.
U.S. consumers can become Viggle users through a free app that works on multiple types of mobile phones and tablets and is distributed through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. After the consumer downloads the App, he/she must create an account. Viggle then provides the ability for customers to play along with TV shows, to share comments through social media, to answer trivia questions or polls, to chat with friends, play games, or to discover more about the show, all while they watch TV.
The user experience is simple. While watching TV, a user taps the "check-in" button, which activates the device's microphone.
Viggle collects an audio sample of what the user is watching on television and uses proprietary technology to convert that sample into a digital fingerprint. Within seconds, that proprietary digital fingerprint is matched against a database of reference fingerprints that are collected from at least 170 English and Spanish television channels within the United States. We are able to verify TV check-ins across broadcast, cable, online, satellite, time-shifted and on-demand content. The ability to verify check-ins is critical because users are rewarded points for each check-in and engagement. Users can redeem the points within the rewards catalog for items that have a monetary value such as gift cards, unique deals and offers, electronics, sweepstakes, charitable donations, and Viggle-branded merchandise. Once a customer has "checked-in" to a show, the App provides a set of optional games, tools, and information to enhance the TV experience.
Viggle points can be earned through five different activities: WatchPoints (1 point for every minute a user is checked-in on Viggle), Bonus Points (added points for watching promoted shows), Live Engagement Points (points earned for playing MyGuy, Viggle Live or other games), Streaks and Quests (added points for watching a series of shows), and Advertising Points (revenue we share with our customers in the form of points).
Since our launch on January 25, 2012, and through June 30, 2013, 3,253,464 users have registered for Viggle, of which we have deactivated 190,929 for a total of 3,062,535 registered users. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we have accumulated an average of 757,273 monthly active users. Monthly active users are computed by determining those users that are both registered on the Viggle App and that have earned or redeemed points, other than points received for registering for the Viggle App, in the particular month. As of June 30, 2013, our members have checked-in to 265,378,396 TV programs and spent an average of approximately 68 minutes of active time within the Viggle App per session. Active users are defined as those who earned a point or redeemed a point that day. Users have redeemed a total of 1,959,395 rewards.
Our rewards catalog consists primarily of gift cards for consumer goods in amounts ranging from $5.00 to $25.00. There are other rewards, primarily physical products, that can be earned for significantly more reward points, and offers that deliver meaningful discounts to our users for fewer points. For example, a $5.00 Starbucks gift card can be earned for 12,500 points, a $25.00 Best Buy Gift card can be earned for 62,500 points, a Kindle Fire for 482,500 points, and an offer of 20% off a purchase at Fanatics.com for 3,000 points. From time to time, we may change the rewards offered and the number of points required to earn any given reward. For the 1,959,395 reward redemptions through June 30, 2013, the average number of points used per redemption has been approximately 13,060 points and the total retail value to consumers was approximately $13.4 million.
It is not possible to earn points on the Viggle App without registering. In order to avoid double-counting and limit the instances of fraud, the App is limited to five accounts per device (so as to allow for use by family members sharing a device), users are limited to a maximum of 6,000 points per day, and users are not able to share or combine points with different users or devices. While it is possible for users to establish multiple accounts which could overstate our actual number of registered active users and permit those fraudulent users to attempt to evade our rules in an effort to accumulate excess points by checking-in to TV shows at the same time on different devices, we monitor for such activity and, when discovered, take corrective action according to our published terms and conditions.
Technology
The first version of the App was approved by Apple and launched to the public in the Apple iTunes App Store on January 25, 2012. It has been updated periodically. The Approved version of the App works on Apple iOS devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. On June 27, 2012, we released a version of the App for use on Android smartphones and tablets. Although we have launched the App to the public, there is no guarantee how effectively the technology will perform. We continuously test and update the App with a goal of improving overall performance and usability.
We will consider adding versions for other mainstream mobile operating systems such as Windows Phone and Blackberry based on demand and other business factors. Distribution of the product will occur via regular online marketplaces for content and applications used by such mobile operating systems, and will include iTunes for iOS devices or the Android marketplace for devices using the Android operating system.
The back-end technology for the App has been designed to accommodate the significant numbers of simultaneous check-ins required to support prime time television audiences. This back-end technology is currently operational and we have the capacity to support simultaneous check-ins around major television events such as the Super Bowl. In addition to our own dedicated co-location facilities on the east and west coasts, we are using third-party cloud computing services from Amazon Web Services to help us scale our technical capacity as efficiently as possible.
The technology supporting our unique feature of digital fingerprinting and our matching technology is subject to a currently
unissued but pending patent.
Revenue
We began generating revenues in early calendar year 2012. Advertising is sold directly to brand marketers and television networks or through advertising agencies by our dedicated sales team. We also generate revenue through partnerships with third party mobile advertising networks. Our focus is on brand marketers that are most relevant to our target demographic of consumers between the ages of 18 and 49, and are active in television, digital and retail marketing. Our sales team is also briefing large advertising and media agencies on our capabilities so that they might recommend integration of our App into their client proposals. We generate revenue from standard mobile media advertising sales and affiliate programs:
| |
• | when our users click and view advertisements in our App, |
| |
• | when our users complete an engagement (defined as a poll, video quiz, game or slide show) appearing in our App that is created by an advertising agency, our brand partners or our team, and |
| |
• | through affiliate or bounty commissions to third parties if our users purchase items or subscribe to services after clicking from our App to other apps or websites. |
With the exception of one-time sponsorships with advertisers (which are charged a separate and specific fee), all advertising is serviced via a third-party advertising server for billing and verification purposes. Revenues are generated by measuring delivered impressions on a cost per thousand (CPM) basis and completed engagements on a cost per engagement (CPE) basis. Our sales team contracts with brand advertisers to deliver a specific number of impressions and/or engagements for a specific price per thousand impressions and/or per completed engagement. The third-party ad server then serves the ads and/or engagements within the App during the course of using the Viggle App. As impressions and engagements are delivered and completed, we bill brand partners or advertising agencies on a monthly basis for the media delivered at our contracted rates.
Watchpoints and Engagement Points
The Company issues points to its users as an incentive to utilize the Viggle App and its features. Users can redeem these points for rewards. The Company records the cost of these points based on the weighted average cost of redemptions during the period. Points earned, but not redeemed, are classified as a liability.
The Company reports points earned for checking into shows and points earned for engaging in advertiser sponsored content as a separate line in its Consolidated Statements of Operations ("Cost of watchpoints and engagement points"). All other points earned by users are reflected as a marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expense.
Target Consumers
While most people watch television, we are targeting male and female consumers between the ages of 18 to 49 years old. This target audience was selected due to the amount of TV they consume on a weekly basis, as well as the likelihood that they will have smartphones and other wireless devices such as tablets and laptops with them while viewing television. To build our user base, we will target this audience using traditional media techniques such as direct response, banner and mobile advertising, public relations, search engine optimization and search engine marketing across online, broadcast and print media outlets.
When a user signs up for and downloads our App, we collect the user's email, zip code, television provider and date of birth. The email enables us to verify the user and reduces the chance of fraud. The zip code allows us to present a relevant list of cable and satellite providers to the user to deliver the correct channel listing data. Knowing the television provider in turn helps us to increase the rate of success for television show matching. We encourage users to provide additional information such as their physical mailing address. Knowing the user's birthday allows us to verify that the user is at least 13 years old. The physical mailing address is required for the delivery of physical goods selected by the user in the App rewards catalog. This information also helps us better target relevant advertising to the user. We manage this information in adherence with standard privacy policies and regulations.
Competitive Position
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. Additionally, the “Social TV” category is nascent and has yet to attract the attention of mainstream consumers and marketers. Many of our competitors are larger, more established and better funded and have a history of successful operations. Although we launched our first
version of our App in January 2012, there can be no assurance of how successful the product will be or how effectively the technology will perform.
While there are a variety of companies currently in the market that offer either manual check-in or audio verification, we believe our App differs significantly because we offer users real, as opposed to virtual, rewards such as movie tickets, music cards and gift cards, and we drive our customers to engage and interact with TV shows for longer periods of time. We offer a comprehensive range of features and functionality, such as automatic check-ins using audio verification, in-app digital advertising engagements (such as games or videos, real-time polls and quizzes) and full social media integration that reward our users for being more loyal to their TV shows and provide our users with, we believe, more enjoyment at the same time. Such integration makes it easy for users to share what they are doing within the App with their social network and to follow show-specific commentary on Twitter and Facebook. We also offer the user a listing of current and upcoming shows for which they can set reminders, learn more information and indicate their support of the show by “liking” it.
Other companies in the “Social TV” market focus on the simple ability of a user to communicate their television viewing activity to others in the user's social media circles. Instead of real rewards, these companies offer their users virtual points, leader board status, digital badges or stickers. We believe that our target market will be motivated by the ability to earn real rewards on a frequent basis and to interact in real time via show-specific polls, quizzes, videos and games.
Going Concern
Our Consolidated Financial Statements, and the auditor's report on those financial statements, include a disclosure paragraph regarding the uncertainty of our ability to remain a going concern, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue development of its business and to increase revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. There is no assurance such equity and/or debt offerings will be successful or that development of the business will be successful.

Consolidated Operating Results for the Year Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2012 (amounts in thousands)
Revenues
Operating revenue for the year ended June 30, 2013 increased to $13.9 million from $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily from increased sales of brand advertising on the Viggle App and barter revenue.
Cost of Watchpoints and Engagement Points
Cost of watchpoints and engagement points for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $8.5 million, an increase of $2.8 million from the prior year. Such costs relate to the cost of Viggle reward points earned by users of the App for checking into shows and engaging with advertising content. The increase is related to the increase in the number of registered users on the Viggle App.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $102.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $9.9 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increases of:
| |
• | $2.6 million of personnel costs, primarily salary and related benefits; |
| |
• | $3.2 million of marketing costs; |
| |
• | $1.9 million of technology related costs; |
| |
• | $2.2 million of stock based compensation; |
| |
• | $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization; |
| |
• | $3.3 of barter expense; |
partially offset by decreases of:
| |
• | $1.1 million of outside labor costs; |
| |
• | $3.5 million of costs related to TIPPT incurred in the prior year. |
Other Income, Net
Other income, net primarily includes gains related to the valuations of the warrants payable of $4.2 million and the conversion feature within the convertible note of $2.8 million.
Interest (Expense) Income, Net
Interest expense, net was $1.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, which included interest income of $0.1 million. The increase in interest expense in 2013 is due to an increase in debt. Interest income, net was $0.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2012.
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. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company provided a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and thus recognized no tax benefit. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $70 to reflect tax amortization of the Company's goodwill.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Rewards Costs and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company provides a non-GAAP measure for adjusted rewards costs as an alternative view of the Company's cost of providing rewards to its users. The Company reports rewards costs in its Consolidated Statements of Operations in both Cost of watchpoints and engagement points and in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Management believes that due to the lack of operating history associated with user point accumulation and redemption activity, that a useful financial measure for investors is to provide the amount of cash the Company has actually paid to provide rewards to its users. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents operating loss (as reported) plus depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, and the adjustment to rewards costs. The information on adjusted rewards costs and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, operating loss prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Management believes these non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of the Company's financial performance. Since adjusted rewards costs and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP, they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore, may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. A reconciliation between GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash
At June 30, 2013 and 2012, we had cash balances of $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
Availability Under Lines of Credit
On February 11, 2013, SIC II provided an additional line of credit to the Company of up to $25.0 million (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 7), which was exchanged for a New $25.0 million Line of Credit Note on March 11, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $11.0 million of funds available under the credit line.
The Company's capital requirements to fund its business plan are variable based on a few key factors: the number of users, the amount of points earned per user, the amount of points redeemed for rewards, and our cost to purchase, acquire, and/or trade for rewards. These factors combine to determine our rewards cost for the next 12 months. Rewards costs are expected to be the largest variable cost to our business for the foreseeable future and, therefore, controlling these costs will have the greatest impact on our liquidity and capital resources. We anticipate the ability to lower rewards cost through the introduction of specific brand offers, additional sweepstakes, and virtual rewards into our rewards catalog, but there is no guarantee we will lower our rewards costs in the next 12 months. As we increase users of the Viggle app, we expect to generate increased revenue from the sale of digital media within our App and expect these sales to be a source of liquidity within the next 12 months. However, there is no guarantee that revenues will exceed rewards cost in the next 12 months or ever. We have the ability to control rewards cost through the restriction of new user acquisition, the limitation of point earning opportunities within the application, and the re-pricing of points in terms of how many are needed to redeem for purchased rewards within the App. In respect to our operating costs, employee salaries, cost of marketing expenditures, leases of office space, and research & development costs constitute the majority of our monthly operating expenses. With the exception of leased office space, our operating costs are expected to increase as we add users in order to sell more advertising, to create new features and functionality on the platform, to acquire new rewards, and to market the Viggle App over the next 12 months. The overall level of expenses will be reflective of management's view of the current opportunities for the Viggle App within the marketplace. We utilize significant computing resources to run our mobile platform and purchase certain server hardware; however, we lease the majority of needed computing hardware, bandwidth, and co-location facilities. Accordingly, we can limit the cost of these servers to be in line with user growth. The Company plans to carefully manage its growth and related costs to ensure it has sufficient capital resources to meet the goals of its business plan for the next 12 months.
The Company's 12-Month Plan for its Business
The Company has projected the plan for its business for the next 12 months, which is subject to change resulting from both internal and external circumstances. The Company's 12-month plan has not been reviewed for consistency with US GAAP, and has been prepared on a modified accrual basis. The Company's 12-month plan is based on assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties. Our 12-month plan represents our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our actual future results may be materially different from what we set forth below.
There is no assurance that the plan set forth will be successful. If implemented, actual results may vary significantly from the plan described in this Annual Report. We do not warrant or guarantee the foregoing.
The Company's current plan will require capital of approximately $21 million over the next 12-month period to cover the fixed expenses and capital needs of the Company, including employee payroll, marketing expenditures, server capacity, research and development, office space and capital expenditures. As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has up to $6.0 million available to draw on its credit line to fund its operations (see Note 7 Loans Payable and Note 14 Subsequent Events in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In order to meet its capital requirements for the next 12 months, the Company anticipates it will need approximately $15 million in new capital (in excess of the cash currently held by the Company and amounts currently available to draw under its credit line). We believe revenue will continue to improve over the next 12 months as we sell more advertising within the App. Additionally, we believe that as our user base grows, we will be able to introduce specific brand offers, additional sweepstakes, and virtual rewards into our rewards catalog, which will help reduce cash required to fund rewards. As our App becomes more popular, we plan to increase the number of points needed to redeem certain rewards, which in turn should reduce the cash required to fund rewards. In early Fiscal 2014, we increased our revenue and added new rewards to the catalog which required less cash to purchase than some of our previous rewards. This enabled us to reduce our cash outlay for rewards. As we continue to add new items to our rewards catalog, we will focus on how those items are priced in points with the goal of reducing our cash outlay for rewards. Although the increase in revenue and the addition of lower cost rewards suggest that we should be able to reduce our cash funding requirements over the next 12 months, there is no guarantee that we will be successful. Our ability to sell increasing amounts of advertising is dependent on the amount of registered active users and the activity of those users within the App. It may be challenging to grow revenue as the Company faces many competitors seeking to gather revenue in the same manner. Advertising budgets can shift rapidly and the benefits previously seen by advertisers could shift away from mobile platforms to something new. We may not be able to deliver enough users to our advertisers to grow revenue. The level of engagement activity currently seen within the App may
slow and the potential revenue per user would fall accordingly. In addition, growing our user base makes us more attractive to advertisers, but will also increase our total rewards cost as new users earn points within the App. We will need to increase our revenue per user above the average cash cost per user in order to achieve profitability. There is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. Our ability to purchase rewards for greater discounts as we buy more may not be sustainable and we may reach a floor on the level of discounting. We have no plan to materially adjust the overall points pricing within our rewards catalog; however, we may find a wholesale re-pricing necessary to reduce the cash needed to fund our rewards program. Adjusting the points needed to redeem a reward may decrease our funding requirements, but may have the counter-balancing effect of discouraging user acceptance and satisfaction.
The actual amount of funds required for the next 12 months may vary depending upon the number of users, the rewards offered, the marketing and related expenses, the development costs for the launch of new features and product enhancements, and the speed with which prospective users enroll in the App. In the event that the required cash is not funded from revenue, the Company will need to raise additional capital through either debt or equity financing. Alternatively, the Company would need to revise its business plan to reduce its spending rate and delay certain projects that are part of its business plan based on the amount of capital available until additional capital is raised.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material impact on the Company.
Commitments and Contingencies
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies require significant management judgments and estimates:
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been
provided; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. For all revenue transactions, the Company considers a signed agreement, a binding insertion order or other similar documentation to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement.
Advertising Revenue: We generate advertising revenue primarily from display and video advertising, which is typically sold on a cost-per-thousand impressions, or CPM basis, and completed engagements on a cost per engagement, or CPE basis basis. Advertising campaigns typically range from one to 12 months, and advertisers generally pay us based on a minimum of delivered impressions, or the satisfaction of other criteria, such as click-throughs.
Deferred Revenue: Our deferred revenue consists principally of both prepaid but unrecognized revenue and advertising fees received or billed in advance of the delivery or completion of the delivery of services. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the services are provided and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Barter Revenue: Barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising or programming for advertising, merchandise or services. Barter transactions which exchange advertising for advertising are accounted for in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-17 "Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions" (ASC Topic 605-20-25). Such transactions are recorded at the fair value of the advertising provided based on the Company's own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising from buyers unrelated to the counter party in the barter transactions.
Barter transactions which exchange advertising or programming for merchandise or services are recorded at the monetary value of the revenue expected to be realized from the ultimate disposition of merchandise or services.
The Company recognized barter revenue for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $3,282. The Company recognized barter expense for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $3,282. The Company did not recognize any barter revenue or barter expense for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Watchpoints and Engagement Points
The Company issues points to its users as an incentive to utilize the App and its features. Users can redeem these points for rewards. The Company records the cost of these points based on the weighted average cost of redemptions during the period. Points earned, but not redeemed, are classified as a liability.
Users earn points for various activities and the Company reports points earned for checking into shows and points earned for engaging in advertiser sponsored content as a separate line in its Consolidated Statements of Operations ("Cost of watchpoints and engagement points"). All other points earned by users are reflected as a marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 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.
There was no significant impairment to the Company's long lived assets as of, and for the year ended, June 30, 2013.
Based on the Company's review of the fair value of its intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company 1) derecognized $2,378 of contingent consideration attributable to the Company's warrant that was to be issued to TIPPT LLC because the warrant was never issued; and 2) performed a review of the fair value of the remaining $2,250 carrying value of the 100 Mile Group Agreement relating to the TIPPT transaction (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Acquisitions). The Company recorded an impairment charge for the full carrying value of this agreement. Accordingly, the carrying value of such agreement as of June 30, 2012 was zero.
Internal Use Software
The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of internal use software in accordance with ASC 350-40. When capitalized, 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. Computer software development costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $372 and $317 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, 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 and Binomial Lattice Model option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants issued. Stock-based awards issued to date are comprised principally of restricted stock awards (RSUs) and employee stock options.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Viggle Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viggle Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viggle Inc. at June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and at June 30, 2013 has deficiencies in working capital and equity that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
On May 31, 2012, the Company changed its name from Function(x) Inc. to Viggle Inc. It now conducts business under the name Viggle Inc ("Viggle" or the "Company").
On June 7, 2012, the Company effectuated a 1 for 2 reverse split (the “1 for 2 Reverse Split”). Under the terms of the 1 for 2 Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-half 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 1 for 2 reverse split.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viggle Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company has 6 wholly-owned subsidiaries, Function(x) Inc., Project Oda, Inc., Sports Hero Inc., Loyalize Inc., Viggle Media Inc., and VX Acquisition Corp. each a Delaware corporation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company's ability to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue development of its business and to generate revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. There is no assurance such equity and/or debt offerings will be successful or that development of the business will be successful. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
2. Line of Business
The Company's Line of Business
The Company's business is built on a simple concept: to make watching TV more rewarding. Viggle provides an interactive platform to create more engagement with TV content and more targeted advertising through a loyalty program that rewards its users for watching television. The Company seeks to enhance the consumer TV experience by helping consumers find what shows to watch, making the shows they watch more fun, interesting, and exciting, and rewarding consumers for being loyal to the shows they do watch. Users receive points for checking into and interacting with their favorite TV shows and can then redeem these points for real items such as movie tickets, music and gift cards. The Company generates revenue through advertising and the sale of merchandise related to the TV shows and other entertainment viewed by users that would appear in users' mobile devices through the use of the App. The Company currently does not have any agreements in place with advertisers or vendors whereby the advertisers or vendors issue rewards to our users when the users redeem their points. The Company has purchased and will continue to source rewards from vendors that it will issue to users upon the redemption of their points. The Company has only generated minimal revenue to date, and there is no guarantee that it will be able to generate sufficient revenue in the future to continue to purchase rewards from vendors or continue its business.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with original 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.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that the billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk associated with delinquent accounts. The Company also considers any changes to the financial condition of its customers and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of its receivables in the determination of its allowance for doubtful accounts.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with domestic financial institutions of high credit quality. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of all of such institutions.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience with the customer, evaluation of their credit history, and review of the invoicing terms of the contract. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. Actual credit losses during the year ended June 30, 2013 were not significant.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of loans payable 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 these loans.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment (consisting primarily of computers, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements) 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 they are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment is as follows: computer equipment and software: 3 years; furniture and fixtures: 4 years; and leasehold improvements: the lesser of the lease term or life of the asset.
Impairment of Goodwill and Certain Other Long-Lived Assets
As required by ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company tests goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon occurence of certain events. The Company has one reporting unit. The annual goodwill impairment test is a two step process. First, the Company determines if the carrying value of its reporting unit exceeds fair value, which would indicate that goodwill may be impaired. If the Company then determines that goodwill may be impaired, it compares the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carry amount to determine if there is an impairment loss.
There were no impairments of goodwill during the year ended June 30, 2013 as the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount.
The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill in accordance with ASC 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.
The Company, through its acquisition of a 65% common stock interest in TIPPT, acquired identifiable intangible assets valued at $4,628 during the year ended June 30, 2012. As part of the Company's review of the fair value of its intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company 1) derecognized $2,378 of contingent consideration attributable to the Company's
warrant that was to be issued to TIPPT LLC because the warrant was never issued; and 2) performed a review of the fair value of the remaining $2,250 carrying value of such agreement. The Company recorded an impairment charge for the full carrying value of such agreement. Accordingly, the carrying value as of June 30, 2012 was zero (see Note 4).
There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the year ended June 30, 2013.
Capitalized Software
The Company recorded $2,350 of capitalized software as part of the Loyalize acquisition during the year ended June 30, 2012. The Company records amortization of the software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Once revenue producing activities commenced in the third quarter of 2012, the software was placed in service and amortized. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $769 and $341, respectively.
The Company records and capitalizes internally generated computer software and, appropriately, certain internal costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $3,119 and $2,747 as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, in accordance with ASC 350-40 "Internal-use Software". At the time software is placed into service, the Company records amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.
Deferred Rent
The Company is party to a lease for office space for its corporate office, and as part the agreement the landlord provided a rent abatement for the first 10 months of the lease. Such abatement has been accounted for as a reduction of rental expense over the life of the lease. The Company accounts for rental expense on a straight line basis over the entire term of the lease. Deferred rent is equal to the cumulative timing difference between actual rent payments and recognized rental expense.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. For all revenue transactions, the Company considers a signed agreement, a binding insertion order or other similar documentation to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement.
Advertising Revenue: The Company generates advertising revenue primarily from display and video advertising, which is typically sold on a cost-per-thousand impressions, or CPM basis, and completed engagements on a cost per engagement CPE basis. Advertising campaigns typically range from one to 12 months, and advertisers generally pay the Company based on a minimum of delivered impressions or the satisfaction of other criteria, such as click-throughs.
Deferred Revenue: deferred revenue consists principally of both prepaid but unrecognized revenue and advertising fees received or billed in advance of the delivery or completion of the delivery of services. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the services are provided and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Barter Revenue: Barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising or programming for advertising, merchandise or services. Barter transactions which exchange advertising for advertising are accounted for in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-17 "Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions" (ASC Topic 605-20-25). Such transactions are recorded at the fair value of the advertising provided based on the Company's own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising from buyers unrelated to the counter party in the barter transactions. Barter transactions which exchange advertising or programming for merchandise or services are recorded at the monetary value of the revenue expected to be realized from the ultimate disposition of merchandise or services.
The Company recognized barter revenue for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $3,282. The Company recognized barter expense for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $3,282. The Company did not recognize any barter revenue or barter expense for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Watchpoints and Engagement Points
The Company issues points to its users as an incentive to utilize the App and its features. Users can redeem these points for rewards. The Company records the cost of these points based on the weighted average cost of redemptions during the period. Points earned but not redeemed are classified as a liability.
Users earn points for various activities within the Company's App. The Company reports points earned for checking into shows and points earned for engaging in advertiser sponsored content as a separate line in its Statements of Operations ("Cost of watchpoints and engagement points"). All other points earned by users are reflected as a marketing expense in Selling, general and administrative expense.
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.
Marketing
Marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing expense for the Company for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $8,807 and $5,467, 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 unlikely that 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. In accordance with ASC 740-10, 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.
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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU No. 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. The amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 will not have any effect on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
4. Acquisitions
WatchPoints
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 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $16.00 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 of $4,209 is being amortized over its expected useful life of three years on a straight-line basis.
Amortization expense of the intellectual property for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $1,404 and $1,052, respectively.
TIPPT Media Inc.
On December 23, 2011, the Company obtained a sixty-five (65%) percent ownership interest in TIPPT Media Inc. ("TIPPT"). In consideration for its investment in TIPPT, the Company paid $2,000 in cash, forgave the repayment of a $250 promissory note owed to the Company by TIPPT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the minority stockholder of TIPPT, and agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to 115% of the 20-day trading average of the Company's common stock if certain performance conditions were met within four months of the closing of the transaction. The Company believed it was probable that the performance conditions would be met and thus the fair value of the warrants was recorded. The shares of common stock exercisable under the warrant were valued at $2,378 using the Black Scholes valuation model.
The Company determined that immediately before the transaction , the activities of TIPPT did not constitute a business. Therefore, the Company accounted for the TIPPT transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
The total purchase price for the TIPPT assets is composed of the following:
|
| | | | | |
Cash | | $ | 2,000 |
|
|
Forgiveness Promissory Note |
| 250 |
|
|
Fair Value of Common Stock Warrant |
| 2,378 |
|
|
Total Purchase Price | | $ | 4,628 |
|
|
The purchase price was allocated to the identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the closing date of December 23, 2011 based on their estimated fair values as follows:
|
| | | |
Intellectual Property Contracts | $ | 4,628 |
|
On May 14, 2012, the Company sold to TIPPT LLC a 50% ownership interest in TIPPT for $500, payable by a Purchase Money Note with interest accruing at 4% per annum and maturing on December 31, 2016. The Company retained a 15% ownership interest in TIPPT. TIPPT issued an Amended and Restated Promissory Note to the Company pursuant to which TIPPT agreed to pay the Company $1,201, which represented $701 of working capital advances and an additional $500 that the Company agreed to loan to TIPPT.
As part of the Company's review of the fair value of its intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company 1) derecognized the $2,378 of contingent consideration attributable to the Company's warrant that was to be issued to TIPPT LLC
because the warrant was never issued; and 2) performed a review of the fair value of the remaining $2,250 carrying value the intellectual property contracts. The Company recorded an impairment charge for the full carrying value of such contracts. Accordingly, the carrying value at June 30, 2012 was zero. Also, based on the limited financial resources of TIPPT and TIPPT LLC, the Company fully reserved the $500 Purchase Money Note and the $1,201 relating to the Amended and Restated Promissory Note described above. The total charge of $3,951 is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Loyalize
On December 31, 2011, in furtherance of its business plan, the Company, through a newly created wholly owned subsidiary, FN(x) I Holding Corporation, now known as Loyalize Inc (“FN(x) I” or “Loyalize”), purchased from Trusted Opinion Inc. (“Trusted Opinion”), substantially all of its assets, including certain intellectual property and other assets relating to the “Loyalize” business owned by Trusted Opinion, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement executed by the Company and FN(x) I on such date (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) . In consideration for its purchase of such assets, the Company agreed to pay Trusted Opinion $3,185 in cash and deliver 137,519 of the Company's common shares as follows: 32,627 shares delivered directly to Trusted Opinion within three business days of delivery of the financial statements and 104,892 shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) delivered within three business days of closing to American Stock Transfer and Trust Company LLC, as escrow agent, which was held until December 31, 2012 to secure certain representations, warranties and indemnifications given by Trusted Opinion under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the 137,519 common shares as of the date of closing was $1,719 based on the per share closing price of $12.50 of its common stock on the date of closing. In addition to certain minor purchase price adjustments that were made post-closing, the Company was obligated to fund, as a purchase price adjustment, the difference, if any, by which $1,839 exceeded the calculated value (computed based on the average closing price of the Company's common shares during the 20 days prior to December 31, 2012) of the 137,519 shares on December 31, 2012, either in cash or in common shares of the Company, at the Company's option. The Company elected to pay this obligation in shares of its common stock, and on February 11, 2013, issued 1,171,712 shares of common stock in satisfaction of this obligation.
The Company accounted for the purchase of Loyalize using the acquisition method, and accordingly the consideration paid has been allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The total purchase price was composed of the following:
|
| | | |
Cash | $ | 3,185 |
|
Fair Value of Common Stock | 1,719 |
|
Fair Value of Common Stock Guarantee | 120 |
|
Total Initial Purchase Price | $ | 5,024 |

|
Intellectual Property | 80 |
|
Capitalized Software | 2,350 |
|
Goodwill | 2,953 |
|
| $ | 5,508 |
|
Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Factors that contributed in the recognition of goodwill include the Company's strategic initiative to strategically utilize the Loyalize technology to enhance its own product offerings. The goodwill recorded in the transaction is deductible for tax purposes.

Term Loan Agreement
On March 11, 2013, Viggle entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “DB Line”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”), under which Deutsche Bank agreed to loan the Company up to $10,000. The Company may, from time to time, request advances (the “Advances”) from the DB Line in amounts of no less than $1,000.
Interest on the outstanding balance may, at the Company's election, be charged at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 4.00% or (ii) the Prime Rate plus 1.75%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The Company paid a $150 facility fee from the initial draw of $5,000 made at closing, which has been capitalized to prepaid expenses and is being amortized over the term of the agreement.
The DB Line was scheduled to mature on September 11, 2013, or sooner as a result of the receipt of net proceeds by the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries from one or more debt or equity offerings by the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in an amount equal to at least the amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding on the DB Line. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a description of an extension of the maturity date of the DB Line that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2013.
The Company may make prepayments, in whole or in part, under the DB Line at any time, as long as all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is paid through the prepayment date.
Repayment of the loan was guaranteed by Mr. Sillerman. In consideration for the guarantee, Mr. Sillerman's designee, SIC II, which is the lender under the Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit described below, received a warrant for 10,000,000 shares of common stock of Viggle, which may be exercised at any time within 60 months of the issuance date at $1.00 a share, (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and combination, reclassification, merger or consolidation)(the “Guarantee Warrant”). The Guarantee Warrant contains a piggyback registration right with respect to the underlying common shares which may be issued if it is exercised. The Guarantee Warrant was issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereunder and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company recorded compensation expense during the year ended June 30, 2013 of $5,559 related to the Guarantee Warrant issued to SIC II, as Mr. Sillerman's designee.
The Company used the proceeds from the DB Line to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn $10,000 on the DB Line. Interest expense on the DB Line for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $113.
Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit
On February 11, 2013, SIC II provided a line of credit (the “Original $25,000 Line of Credit”) to the Company in the amount of up to $25,000. In consideration of the Lender's agreement to provide the Original $25,000 Line of Credit, the Company issued to SIC II 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company recorded compensation expense in the third fiscal quarter of $5,000 related to the shares issued to SIC II.
On March 11, 2013, Viggle and SIC II entered into an amended and restated line of credit (the “New $25,000 Line of Credit”) to the Company, which modified the existing $25,000 Line of Credit (the “Original $25,000 Line of Credit”) to reduce the interest rate from 14% per annum to 9% per annum and provide, as security for the Company's obligations, a pledge of the Company's (and its subsidiaries') assets pursuant to a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”, more particularly described below). In addition, the Company entered into a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”, as more particularly described below) by which the repayment and the security for the New $25,000 Line of Credit was subordinated to the repayment of the DB Line.
The Company may, from time to time, draw on the New $25,000 Line of Credit in amounts of no less than $1,000, provided that the outstanding principal balance under the DB Line and the New $25,000 Line of Credit may not exceed $25,000. The Company is not permitted to draw on the New $25,000 Line of Credit more than once per month. Interest will accrue on all unpaid principal amounts drawn under the New $25,000 Line of Credit at a simple interest rate equal to 9% per annum, with interest being compounded semi-annually and paid at maturity.
The New $25,000 Line of Credit matures on the earlier of (i) February 11, 2015 or (ii) a change of control transaction. At maturity, the Company must pay all principal amounts then outstanding, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Company may prepay at any time, without penalty.
If an event of default occurs, all amounts due under the New $25,000 Line of Credit are due and payable immediately. Events of default include the non-payment of amounts due, certain bankruptcy-type events, incorrect material statements made by the Company, the Company's contest or dispute of any provisions of the New $25,000 Line of Credit, or a material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC II.
Additionally, in the event of draws which exceed the DB Line maximum of $10,000, the lender (including Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates) under the New Line of Credit will receive 100,000 warrants (which will be in the same form as the Guarantee Warrants) to purchase the Company's common stock for every $100 drawn down and funded to the Company. These warrants shall be exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share and shall expire five (5) years after issuance. To the extent there are participants other than SIC II who agree to fund a portion of the New $25,000 Line of Credit, such participants will be responsible for a pro rata share of each draw and receive the same number of warrants for each $100 drawn from them.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the New $25,000 Line of Credit to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn down $4,000 from the the New $25,000 Line of Credit. In connection with the draw down, the Company issued 4,000,000 warrants to SIC II and recorded compensation expense of $1,533 during the year ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense on the New $25,000 Line of Credit was $40 for the year ended June 30, 2013.
$20,000 Line of Credit Exchange
The Company and SIC entered into a Line of Credit Grid Promissory Note on June 29, 2012, which was subsequently amended (as amended, the “$20,000 Line of Credit Note”). The $20,000 Line of Credit Note was fully drawn, so that as of March 11, 2013, the Company owed SIC $20,782 including outstanding principal and accrued interest. On March 11, 2013 SIC exchanged the $20,000 Line of Credit Note for an 8% Convertible Secured Note (the “8% Note”), in the principal amount of $20,782, on the terms described below. The 8% Note is subordinated in repayment and security to the DB Line and the New $25,000 Line of Credit, provides for an interest rate of 8% (as opposed to the 9% interest rate in the $20,000 Line of Credit Note), and matures on March 11, 2016 (as opposed to the June 29, 2013 maturity date for the $20,000 Line of Credit Note). The exchange was made pursuant to an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), which provided for the issuance of 40,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) for each $100,000 in principal amount of the Original Note exchanged, so that the Company issued to SIC 8,312,699 shares of Common Stock. The Company recorded compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $7,481 related to the shares issued to SIC.
The 8% Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of an Exchange Agreement by and between the Company and SIC, the terms of which are described below.
The Exchange Agreement provides for holders of the 8% Notes to have piggyback registration rights for the shares of Common Stock into which the 8% Notes may be converted.
The Company recorded interest expense on the $20,000 Line of Credit Note for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $782.
Secured Convertible 8% Notes
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued $20,782 of 8% secured convertible notes (“8% Notes”), which will mature on March 11, 2016.
The 8% Notes provide for 8% simple interest per annum, payable on each anniversary of the issuance date thereof in cash or common stock of the Company or any combination thereof, at the Company's discretion. If the Company elects to pay such interest in shares of its common stock, then the value of the shares to be delivered will be based on the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock for the fifteen (15) "Trading Days" immediately preceding such Interest Date. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the 8% Notes, the interest rate is automatically increased to twelve percent (12%).
The 8% Notes may, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, be converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.25 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends, or recapitalization.
The 8% Notes provide for the Company to be able to issue up to an additional $29,300 of 8% Notes on the same terms and maturing on the same date.
If an event of default occurs under the 8% Notes, each holder has the right to require the Company to repay all or any portion of their note. Events of default under the 8% Notes include payment defaults, and certain bankruptcy-type events involving the Company.
The Company may, at its option, prepay the 8% Notes. If the Company chooses to prepay the 8% Notes, it shall prepay a fixed lump sum in the amount of 108% in the first 12 months, 106% in months 13-24, 104% in months 25-30, and at par thereafter of the Principal Amount plus interest accrued thereon. Such payments shall be pro-rata unless otherwise determined by the Note holders. In the event that the Company issues primary shares in a public offering at an offering price above $1.25 per share, the Company may use up to 33% of the proceeds to prepay the 8% Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. If a change of control is consummated, each holder has the right to require the Company to repay all or any portion of its 8% Notes on the prepayment terms set forth above, or may convert its 8% Notes into common shares immediately prior to the transaction.
The 8% Notes contain customary anti-dilution provisions for stock splits, combinations and dividends only as long as dilution is less than 33%. Dilution above 33% requires the consent of a majority of holders of the 8% Notes, after which the 8% Notes will receive weighted-average share dilution protection.
The 8% Notes also contain certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the 8% Notes are outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding principal amount of the 8% Notes, (i) make any loan or advance in excess of $500 to any officer, director, employee of affiliate of the Company (except advances and similar expenditures: (a) under the terms of employee stock or option plans approved by the Board of Directors, (b) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and (c) to its subsidiaries), (ii) incur any indebtedness that exceeds $5,000 in the aggregate other than indebtedness already included in a Board of Directors-approved budget and subordinated indebtedness, (iii) guaranty any indebtedness of any unaffiliated third party, (iv) change the principal business of the Company or exit the Company's current business, provided that the foregoing is subject to the Board's compliance with its fiduciary duties, (v) sell, assign, or license material technology or intellectual property of the Company except (a) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, (b) sales and assignments thereof in any 12 month period that do not have a fair market value in excess of $1,000 or (c) in connection with a change of control transaction, (vi) enter into any corporate strategic relationship involving the payment, contribution or assignment by the Company of its assets that have a fair market value in excess of $10,000 or (vii) liquidate or dissolve the Company or wind up the business of the Company, subject to certain exceptions set forth in Section 8 of the 8% Notes. The protective covenants set forth above (except for (iii) and (vii), which will remain) disappear after 75% of the principal balance of the 8% Notes has been repaid.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn $20,782 on the 8% Notes. The interest expense on the 8% Notes for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $508.
The 8% Notes may, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, be converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.25 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends, or recapitalization. Further, the conversion price is subject to "down round" protection, whereby any dilution above 33% requires the consent of a majority of holders of the 8% Notes, after which the 8% Notes will receive weighted-average share dilution
protection. The Company has determined that, due to the nature of the "down round" protection, the conversion feature is an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded derivative has been bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at its fair value. The fair value of the embedded derivative has been determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of the embedded derivative when issued was $6,662, which was recorded as stock compensation cost and included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations due to the fact that the 8% Notes are owned 100% by an executive officer of the Company. The embedded derivative was marked to market at June 30, 2013 to a fair value of $3,870. The Company recorded a gain of $2,792 to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2013.
Security Agreement and Subordination Agreements
Each of the New $25,000 Line of Credit and the 8% Notes were secured by all assets of the Company, pursuant to respective security agreements (each, a “Security Agreement”) in favor of Mr. Sillerman, as "Collateral Agent" for each lender, with the 8% Notes being subordinated in repayment and security to the New $25,000 Line of Credit. SIC II and SIC, each as lender, delivered a subordination agreement to the DB Line holder (each, a “Subordination Agreement”) by which the repayment and security therefor was subordinated to repayment of the DB Line. Each Subordination Agreement provides that the Company's notes or Security Agreements may not be modified or amended in any manner which would affect the subordination to the DB Line and that the issuance of new or replacement notes may only be done upon the execution in a form similar to that previously issued and upon specific execution of a new Subordination Agreement by the new or replacement lender.
Related Approvals
Due to the fact that each of the transactions (other than the DB Line) referred to in the foregoing sections entitled "Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit", "$20,000 Line of Credit Exchange", "Secured Convertible 8% Notes", and "Security Agreement and Subordination Agreements" involved Mr. Sillerman, or an affiliate of his, the transactions were subject to certain rules regarding "affiliate" transactions. Each was approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors and a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Litigation
On August 17, 2012, the Company was served with a patent infringement lawsuit filed on August 13, 2012 by Blue Spike, LLC ("Blue Spike") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division (Civil Action No. 6:12-
CV-526). The lawsuit claims patent infringement under U.S. Patent numbers 7,346,472, 7,660,700, 7,949,494, and 8,214,715 in connection with the Company's audio recognition technology. Blue Spike has commenced suits against numerous other companies involving the same patent family.
The Company denies that it is infringing any valid, enforceable claims of the asserted patents and intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. The Company filed its answer on October 3, 2012.
The Company is subject to litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate result of outstanding legal matters cannot presently be determined, the Company does not expect that the ultimate disposition will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
9. Stockholders’ Equity
As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were 300,000,000 shares of authorized common stock and 91,124,452 and 76,470,041 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Except as otherwise provided by Delaware law, the holders of the Company's 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. The Company may issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series as may be determined by the Company's 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).
10. 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 June 30, 2013, 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 accounts for stock options based on the fair market value on the date of grant, with the resulting expense recognized over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company's stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury Notes 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 an expiration of 10 years and vest over a period of 3 or 4 years. The fair value of options granted during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were estimated based on the following weighted average assumptions:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Year Ended June 30, 2013 | | Year Ended June 30, 2012 |
Expected volatility | 80 | % | | 63 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.93 | % | | 1.15 | % |

Compensation expense related to stock options of $12,089 and $5,916 is included in the accompanying Statements of Operations in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of June 30 2013 and 2012, there was approximately $13,675 and $14,958, respectively, of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to stock options, which will generally be recognized over a four year period.
Warrants
In connection with the DB Line described in Note 7, repayment of the loan was guaranteed by Mr. Sillerman. In consideration for the guarantee, Mr. Sillerman's designee, SIC II, which is the lender under the Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit, also described in Note 7, received a warrant for 10,000,000 shares of common stock, which may be exercised at any time within 60 months of the issuance date at $1.00 a share, (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and combination, reclassification, merger or consolidation). The Company recorded compensation expense during the year ended June 30, 2013 of $5,559 related to the Guarantee Warrant.
In the event of draws which exceed the DB Line maximum of $10,000, the lender (including Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates) under the New Line of Credit will receive 100,000 warrants (which will be in the same form as the Guarantee Warrants) to purchase the Company's common stock for every $100 drawn down and funded to the Company. These warrants shall be exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share and shall expire five (5) years after issuance.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn down $4,000 on the the New $25,000 Line of Credit. In connection with the draw down, the Company issued 4,000,000 warrants to SIC II and recorded compensation expense of $1,533 during the year ended June 30, 2013.
The Company issued 1,709,091 warrants in connection with the May 10, 2012 PIPE transaction. Each warrant has a sale price of $5.50 and is exercisable into 1 share of common stock at a price of $8.00 over a term of three years. Further, the exercise price of the warrants is subject to "down round" protection, whereby any issuance of shares at a price below the current price resets the exercise price equal to a the price of newly issued shares. The fair value of such warrants has been determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of the warrants when issued was $5,281, and was $443 and $4,626 as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company recorded a gain of $4,183 to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2013. The fair value of the warrant is classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013, due to the Company's intention to retire a significant portion of these warrants in its next round of financing.
On August 25, 2011, the Company completed the placement of 7,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one-half (1/2) 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-half (1/2) share of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $8.00 per warrant share, at a purchase price of $5.00 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000 to accredited and institutional investors. The three-year warrants are callable by the Company after February 26, 2012 if a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants has been declared effective for 30 days and the closing bid price of such shares equals at least $8.00 per share for a period of at least 20 consecutive trading days after effectiveness of such registration statement.
In connection with the August 25, 2011 private placement offering, the following warrants were issued to related parties:
Tejas Securities Group, Inc., as partial compensation for placement fees, was issued 270,000 five-year non-callable warrants with an exercise price of $5.00 per warrant, and 192,500 three-year warrants with an exercise price of $8.00 per warrant. Each of the warrants is exercisable for one share of the Company's common stock. The fair value of these warrants was $3,949 and was accounted for as a cost of raising equity.
Mr. Sillerman was issued 1,280,000 three-year warrants with an exercise price of $8.00 per warrant. Each of the warrants is exercisable for one share of the Company's common stock. The fair value of these warrants was $9,216, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.
11. Income Taxes
For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not record an income tax benefit because it has incurred taxable losses and has no history of generating taxable income and therefore the Company cannot presently anticipate the realization of a tax benefit on its Net Operating Loss carryforward. At June 30, 2013 the Company has a Net Operating Loss carryforward of $60.9 million, which will begin to expire in 2030. The Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2013 and 2012. Income tax expense for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $70 and $0, respectively.
A reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal tax rate and our effective tax rate is as follows:
|
| | | | | |
| Year Ended June 30, 2013 | | Year Ended June 30, 2012 |

The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. 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.
12. Related Party Transactions
Recapitalization Note
In Fiscal 2011, Mr. Sillerman (and his spouse and entities controlled by him), executed a promissory note in accordance with his subscription agreement for the payment of the purchase price of certain shares of common stock, in the amount of $3,242. The 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). The note is due five years after issuance, with interest accrued at the rate of 4.15% per annum. Interest income recorded on these notes for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $135 and $135, respectively.
Shared Services Agreements
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 then-General Counsel and General Counsel to Circle. The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing 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 the former Chairman, a Board member, and a greater than 10% stockholder of Circle and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company billed Circle $253 and $322, respectively. Such billings primarily relate to support consisting of legal and administrative services. These services are to be reviewed and, if appropriate, approved by Circle's Audit Committee and the Company's Audit Committee. The balance due from Circle as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $23 and $53, respectively.
The Company also entered into a shared services agreement with SFX Entertainment Inc. ("SFX"), a company affiliated with Mr. Sillerman, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mr. Nelson, and several other of the Company's employees. The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson and such other employees. Mr. Nelson and such other employees will continue to be paid by the Company, and SFX will either reimburse Circle (which will reimburse the Company, if applicable) or reimburse the Company directly for its portion of 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 Company's Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors have approved this shared services agreement. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company billed SFX $263. The balance due from SFX as of June 30, 2013 was $47. The Company did not bill any amounts to SFX in 2012.
Certain Company accounting personnel may provide personal accounting services to Mr. Sillerman. To the extent that such services are rendered, Mr. Sillerman shall reimburse the Company theretofore. The reimbursement for any such services shall be reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company billed Mr. Sillerman $245 and $148, respectively. The balance due from Mr. Sillerman as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $0 and $21, respectively.
Private Placements
Mr. Sillerman purchased units for $3,000 in the May 10, 2012 private placement. As a result of Mr. Sillerman's participation in the placement, 545,455 units with a fair value of $5,116 were issued by the Company. The fair value of the associated warrants was determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements (see Note 13). This resulted in a non-cash compensation charge of $2,116, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.
SIC purchased units for $11,376 in the August 25, 2011 private placement. As a result of SIC's participation in the placement, 1,280,000 units were acquired by Mr. Sillerman with a 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, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Consultant
Benjamin Chen, previously an independent director of the Company, was acting as a consultant to the Company in the area of technology, systems architecture and technical operations. Mr. Chen was paid $188 for his services through June 30, 2013. On May 6, 2013, Mr. Chen resigned as a director of the Company.
NetJets
The Company executed an agreement with 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 is financed 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 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 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 a loan payable to Mr. Sillerman and NetJets.
In 2012, the Company reclassified the $336 loan from Mr. Sillerman to a capital contribution.
In June 2012, the Company agreed to sell the fractional interests back to NetJets and repay outstanding loan amount. Accordingly, the amount of the loan to NetJets is $0 at June 30, 2012. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $134 and $166 of travel related expenses. These amounts are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Lines of Credit
See Note 7, Loans Payable, for a discussion of lines of credit with related parties.
13. Fair Value Measurement
The Company values its assets and liabilities using the methods of fair value as described in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, and considers counter-party credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions based on the best information available. The Company has certain assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with GAAP, as described below.
The Company issued 1,709,091 warrants in connection with the May 10, 2012 PIPE. Each warrant has a sale price of $5.50 and is exercisable into 1 share of common stock at a price of $8.00 over a term of three years. Further, the exercise price of the warrants is subject to "down round" protection, whereby any issuance of shares at a price below the current price resets the exercise price equal to a the price of newly issued shares (the "Warrants"). The fair value of such warrants has been determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of the warrants when issued was $5,281 and was $443 and $4,626 as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company recorded a gain of $4,183 to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2013. The fair value of the warrant is classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013 , due to the Company's intention to retire a significant portion of these warrants in its next round of financing. The Company's warrants were classified as a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using unobservable inputs and management's judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity.
The Company issued $20,782 of 8% secured convertible notes (“8% Notes”), which will mature on March 11, 2016. The 8% Notes may, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, be converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.25 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends, or recapitalization. Further, the conversion price is subject to "down round" protection, whereby any dilution above 33% requires the consent of a majority of holders of the 8% Notes, after which the 8% Notes will receive weighted-average share dilution protection. The Company has determined that, due to the nature of the "down round" protection, the conversion feature is an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded derivative has been
bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at its fair value. The fair value of the embedded derivative has been determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of the embedded derivative when issued was $6,662, which was recorded as stock compensation cost and included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations due to the fact that the 8% Notes are owned 100% by an executive officer of the Company. The embedded derivative was marked to market at June 30, 2013 to a fair value of $3,870. The Company recorded a gain of $2,792 to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2013. The Company's convertible conversion rights were classified as a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using unobservable inputs and management's judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity.

14. Subsequent Events
Debt Restructuring
On September 16, 2013, the Company, SIC and SIC II entered into a series of transactions to restructure certain of the Company's outstanding debt and equity securities. The transactions are designed to aid the Company in future capital raising efforts.
8% Note and Shares
As discussed in Note 7, Loans Payable, the Company and SIC entered into a Line of Credit Grid Promissory Note on June 29, 2012, which was subsequently amended (as amended, the “Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note”). The Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note was fully drawn, so that the Company owed SIC $20,782 through March 11, 2013 in outstanding principal and accrued interest. On March 11, 2013, SIC exchanged the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note for an 8% Convertible Secured Note (the “8% Note”) with a total outstanding balance of $20,782. The 8% Note provided for an interest rate of 8% (as opposed to the 9% interest rate in the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note), and was to mature on March 11, 2016 (as opposed to the June 29, 2013 maturity date for the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note). The exchange was made pursuant to an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), which provided for the issuance of 40,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Note Exchange Common Stock”) for each $100,000 in principal amount of the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note so exchanged, so that the Company issued to SIC 8,312,699 shares of Common Stock in connection with such exchange (the “Note Exchange Common Shares”).
On September 16, 2013, the Company and SIC entered into a Rescission Agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties rescinded the transactions in the Exchange Agreement. The effect of the transaction was to (a) rescind the issuance of the 8,312,699 shares of Note Exchange Common Stock, thus reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by 8,312,699, and (b) rescind the exchange of the 8% Note for the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note. This had the effect of extinguishing the 8% Note and reinstating the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note. The Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note had accrued and unpaid interest on September 16, 2013 of $1,748.
Waiver of Interest
On September 16, 2013, SIC agreed to waive, pursuant to a Waiver (the “Waiver”), $1,748 of accrued and unpaid interest on the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note, which interest accrued from June 29, 2012 through and including September 16, 2013.

Rescission of Issuance of 5,000,000 Shares of Common Stock; Issuance of Warrants
On March 11, 2013, the Company and SIC II entered into an amended and restated line of credit (the “New $25,000 Line of Credit”) to the Company, which modified the existing $25,000 line of credit (the “Original $25,000 line of credit”) to reduce the interest rate from 14% per annum to 9% per annum. In connection with such modification, the Company issued to SIC II 5,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “February Shares”).

In August of 2011 and May of 2012, the Company previously completed certain private placement offerings (the “PIPE Transactions”) in which the Company issued to certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The Company's Board of Directors has approved an exchange (the “PIPE Exchange”) by certain PIPE Investors of the common stock and warrants that they received in the PIPE Transactions for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. PIPE Investors would only be permitted to participate in such exchange to the extent that they or their affiliates commit, or have committed, to fund a portion of the New $25,000 Line of Credit. For each $100,000 that a PIPE Investor commits, or has committed, to the New $25,000 Line of Credit, the PIPE Investor would be able to convert the common stock and warrants that it received for each $100,000 investment in the PIPE Transactions for 100 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 46 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

In addition, in the event that the aggregate of such payments would constitute a “parachute payment” under the rules set forth in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, then the Company shall also pay Mr. Sillerman a gross-up payment such that after the imposition of Federal, State and local income taxes, Mr. Sillerman would be entitled to retain the foregoing amount.

In addition, on April 4, 2013, the Company and Mr. Consiglio entered into an amendment to Mr. Consiglio's employment agreement providing that upon a “change of control” of the Company, all stock options previously granted to Mr. Consiglio would vest, and all restricted shares issued to Mr. Consiglio pursuant to his employment agreement would vest.
The following disclosure is for our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Small.

However, in the event that any amount payable to Mr. Small upon a "change of control" would be nondeductible by the Company under the rules set forth in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, then the amount payable to Mr. Small shall be reduced to the maximum amount that would be payable but which would remain deductible under Section 280G of the IRC. In addition, on April 4, 2013, the Company and Mr. Small entered into an amendment to Mr. Small's employment agreement providing that upon a “change of control” of the Company, all stock options previously granted to Mr. Small, and not just those options that were granted pursuant to Mr. Small's employment agreement, would vest.

Compensation of Non-Employee Directors
Employee directors do not receive any separate compensation for their board service. Non-employee directors receive the compensation described below.

In connection with the closing of a recapitalization of the Company's outstanding securities in February of 2011, as discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 in the section entitled “Our Business,” Robert F.X. Sillerman (and his spouse and entities controlled by him), the Company's Chief Executive Officer, executed a promissory note in accordance with his subscription agreements for the payment of the purchase price of the shares, in the amount of $3,242. The 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). The Company recorded income on the note of $135 and $135 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The note has been presented as a reduction of the related paid in capital in the accompanying financial statements.
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, the Company's Executive Vice President and Secretary and General Counsel to Circle.
The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing 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 will initially be 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 a Board member, the former Chairman, and a greater than 10% stockholder of Circle and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle.
For the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company billed Circle $253 and $322, respectively. Such billings primarily relate to support consisting of legal and administrative services. These services are to be reviewed and, if appropriate, approved by Circle's Audit Committee and the Company's Audit Committee. The balance due from Circle as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $23 and $53, respectively.
The Company also entered into a shared services agreement with SFX, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mr. Nelson, and several other of the Company's employees. The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson and such other employees. Mr. Nelson and such other employees will continue to be paid by the Company, and SFX will either reimburse Circle (which will reimburse the Company, if applicable) or reimburse the Company directly for its portion of 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 Company's Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors have approved this shared services agreement.
For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company billed SFX $263. The balance due from SFX as of June 30, 2013 was $47. The Company did not bill any amounts to SFX in 2012.
Certain Company accounting personnel may provide personal accounting services to Mr. Sillerman. To the extent that such services are rendered, Mr. Sillerman shall reimburse the Company theretofore. The reimbursement for any such services shall be reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee.
For the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company billed Mr. Sillerman $245 and $148, respectively. The balance due from Mr. Sillerman as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $0 and $21, respectively.
Private Placements
Mr. Sillerman purchased units for $3,000 in the May 10, 2012 private placement. As a result of Mr. Sillerman's participation in the placement, 545,455 units with a fair value of $5,116 were issued by the Company. The fair value of the associated warrants was determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements (see Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). This resulted in a non-cash compensation charge of $2,116, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.
SIC purchased units for $11,376 in the August 25, 2011 private placement. As a result of SIC's participation in the placement, 1,280,000 units were acquired by Mr. Sillerman with a 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, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.
NetJets
The Company executed an agreement with 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, to be used by the Company solely for business purposes. The purchase price for the 6.25% interest was $1,175, payable $235 upon signing and the balance of $940 financed 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. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Sillerman is entitled to fly on a private charter jet when he travels for business. 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 amounts to NetJets. In June 2012 the Company agreed to sell the fractional interests back to NetJets and repay the outstanding loan amount. Accordingly the amount of the loan is $0 at June 30, 2012. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $134 and this amount is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Consultant
Benjamin Chen, previously an independent director of the Company, was acting as a consultant to the Company in the area of technology, systems architecture and technical operations. Mr. Chen was paid $188 for his services through June 30, 2013. On May 6, 2013, Mr. Chen resigned as a director of the Company.
Director Compensation
Each of our non-employee directors will receive an annual fee of $80, which includes attendance fees for four meetings a year. Each non-employee director will also receive an additional $7.50 for attendance at additional Board Meetings (over four). The chairperson of the Audit Committee will receive an additional fee of $15 per annum and the chairpersons of each other committee will receive an additional fee of $5 per annum. Each of the other members of the Audit Committee will receive $3 per annum and the other members of each of the other committees will receive a fee of $1 per annum. In 2013, all director fees were paid through the issuance of options priced as of the date of grant.
Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit
On February 11, 2013, SIC II provided a line of credit (the “Original $25,000 Line of Credit”) to the Company in the amount of up to $25,000. In consideration of the Lender's agreement to provide the Original Line of Credit, the Company issued to SIC II 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company recorded compensation expense in the third fiscal quarter of $5,000 related to the shares issued to SIC.
On March 11, 2013, Viggle and SIC II entered into an amended and restated line of credit (the “New $25,000 Line of Credit”) to the Company, which modified the Original $25,000 Line of Credit to reduce the interest rate from 14% per annum to 9% per annum and provide, as security for the Company's obligations, a pledge of the Company's (and its subsidiaries') assets pursuant to a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”, more particularly described below). In addition, the Company entered into a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”, as more particularly described below) by which the repayment and the security for the New $25,000 Line of Credit was subordinated to the repayment of the DB Line.
Additionally, in the event of draws which exceed the DB Line maximum of $10,000, the lender (including Robert F.X. Sillerman and his affiliates) under the New Line of Credit will receive 100,000 warrants (which will be in the same form as the Guarantee Warrants) to purchase the Company's common stock for every $100 drawn down and funded to the Company. These warrants shall be exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share and shall expire five (5) years after issuance. To the extent there are participants other than SIC II who agree to fund a portion of the New $25,000 Line of Credit, such participants will be responsible for a pro rata share of each draw and receive the same number of warrants for each $100 drawn from them.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from The New $25,000 Line of Credit to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had drawn $4,000 and $0, respectively from the New $25,000 Line of Credit.
$20,000 Line of Credit Exchange
The Company and SIC entered into a Line of Credit Grid Promissory Note on June 29, 2012, which was subsequently amended (as amended, the “$20,000 Line of Credit Note”). The $20,000 Line of Credit Note was fully drawn, so that as of March 11, 2013 Company owed SIC $20,782 including outstanding principal and accrued interest. On March 11, 2013 SIC exchanged the $20,000 Line of Credit Note for an 8% Convertible Secured Note (the “8% Note”), in the principal amount of $20,782, on the terms set forth in section (d) below. The 8% Note is subordinated in repayment and security to the DB Line and the New $25,000 Line of Credit, provides for an interest rate to 8% (as opposed to the 9% interest rate in the $20,000 Line of Credit Note), and matures on March 11, 2016 (as opposed to the June 29, 2013 maturity date for the $20,000 Line of Credit Note). The exchange was made pursuant to an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), which provided for the issuance of 40,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) for each $100,000 in principal amount of the Original Note so exchanged, so that the Company issued to SIC 8,312,699 shares of Common Stock in connection with such exchange (the “Common Shares”). The Company recorded compensation expense in the third fiscal quarter of $7,481 related to the shares issued to SIC. In addition, the Exchange Agreement permits the Company to issue up to an additional $29,300 of additional 8% Convertible Secured Notes on the same terms.
The 8% Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of an Exchange Agreement, by and between the Company and SIC, the terms of which are more particularly described in the Section below.
The Exchange Agreement provides for holders of the 8% Notes to have piggyback registration rights for the shares of Common Stock into which the 8% Notes may be converted.
The Company recorded interest expense on the $20,000 Line of Credit Note for the year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $782 and $0, respectively.
Secured Convertible 8% Notes
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued $20,782 of 8% secured convertible notes (“8% Notes”), which will mature on March 11, 2016.
The 8% Notes provide for 8% simple interest per annum, payable on each anniversary of the issuance date thereof in cash or common stock of the Company or any combination thereof, at the Company's discretion. If the Company elects to pay such interest in shares of its common stock, then the value of the shares to be delivered will be based on the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock for the fifteen (15) Trading Days immediately preceding such Interest Date. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the 8% Notes, the interest rate is automatically increased to twelve percent (12%).
The 8% Note may, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, be converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.25 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends, or
recapitalization.
The 8% Notes provide for the Company to be able to issue up to an additional $29,300 of 8% Notes on the same terms and maturing on the same date.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn $20,782 on the 8% Notes. The interest expense on the 8% Notes payable for the year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $508.
Security Agreement and Subordination Agreements
Each of the New $25,000 Line of Credit and the 8% Notes were secured by all assets of the Company, pursuant to respective security agreements (each, a “Security Agreement”) in favor of Robert F.X. Sillerman, as Collateral Agent for each lender, with the 8% Note being subordinated in repayment and security to the New $25,000 Line of Credit. SIC II and SIC, each as lender, delivered a subordination agreement to the DB Line holder (each, a “Subordination Agreement”) by which the repayment and security therefor was subordinated to repayment of the DB Line. Each Subordination Agreement provides that the Company's notes or Security Agreements may not be modified or amended in any manner which would affect the subordination to the DB Line and that the issuance of new or replacement notes may only be done upon the execution in a form similar to that previously issued and upon specific execution of a new Subordination Agreement by the new or replacement lender.
Related Approvals
Because each of the transactions (other than the DB Line) referred to in the foregoing sections entitled "Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit", "$20,000 Line of Credit Exchange", "Secured Convertible 8% Notes", and "Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement" involved Robert F.X. Sillerman, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, or an affiliate of his, the transactions were subject to certain rules regarding "affiliate" transactions, each was approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors and a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Board Decisions and Certain Conflicts of Interest
Past and future decisions by our board regarding our future growth, operations and major corporate decisions will be subject to certain possible conflicts of interest. These conflicts may have caused, and in the future may cause, our business to be adversely affected. Nevertheless, our board will be responsible for making decisions on our behalf. In appropriate circumstances, we expect to submit transactions with any related party for approval or negotiation by our independent directors or a special committee thereof.
Independent Directors
The Company has Corporate Governance Guidelines which provide, among other things, that a majority of the Company's Board must meet the criteria for independence required by The NASDAQ Global Market and that the Company shall at all times have an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which committees will be made up entirely of independent directors. Although the Company is not listed on The NASDAQ Global Market, the Company intends to comply with these criteria. Rules 4200 and 4350 of The NASDAQ Global Market require that a majority of our Board qualify as “independent”.
Peter Horan, Michael Meyer, John Miller, Harriet Seitler, and Birame Sock, whose biographical information is included above under the heading “Executive Officers and Directors of Viggle Inc.,” have been appointed to our Board as independent directors and qualify as such under the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Market. As of August 1, 2013, Joseph Rascoff became Chief Operating Officer of SFX Entertainment Inc., a company controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman, and is thereafter no longer considered independent for Audit Committee purposes.
