be. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or
business may have changed since that date.

OUR
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
AccessIT
was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. We provide fully
managed technology solutions, electronic delivery and software services for
owners and distributors of digital content to movie theatres and other
venues. In the past, we have generated revenues from two primary
businesses, media services (“Media Services”) and internet data center (“IDC” or
“data center”) services (“Data Center Services”), a business we no longer
operated after May 1, 2007. Beginning April 1, 2007, we made changes to our
organizational structure which impacted our reportable
segments. These changes did not impact our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. We have realigned our focus to
three primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”), media content and
entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”) and other (“Other”). Our Media
Services business provides software, services and technology solutions to the
motion picture and television industries, primarily to facilitate the transition
from analog (film) to digital cinema and has positioned us at what we believe to
be the forefront of an emerging industry opportunity relating to the delivery
and management of digital cinema and other content to entertainment and other
remote venues worldwide. Our Content & Entertainment business
provides cinema advertising, film distribution services to movie exhibitors and
motion picture exhibition to the general public.
The Media
Services business consists of the following:

The
business of AccessIT DC consists of the ownership and licensing of digital
systems to exhibitors and the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios and
ACFs from exhibitors, when content is shown on exhibitors’ screens. We
have licensed the necessary software and technology solutions to the
exhibitor and have facilitated its transition from analog (film) to digital
cinema. As part of this Phase I Deployment, AccessIT DC has agreements
with seven major motion picture studios, certain smaller independent studios and
exhibitors allowing it to collect VPFs and ACFs when content is shown in
theatres, in exchange for it having facilitated the deployment, and providing
management services, of 3,723 Systems and the other digital cinema assets.
AccessIT DC has agreements with 16 domestic theater circuits that license our
Systems in order to show digital content distributed by the studios and other
providers, including an AccessIT subsidiary, The Bigger Picture.
AccessIT DC recently created a subsidiary, Phase 2 Corporation, in order to
undertake the Phase II Deployment, for up to 10,000 additional Systems. In
connection with the Phase II Deployment, Phase 2 Corporation has entered into
agreements with 4 major motion picture studios which will allow it to collect
VPFs and ACFs once Phase 2 Corporation enters into license agreements with
exhibitors, arranges suitable financing for the purchase of Systems, enters into
vendor supply agreements for the necessary equipment and once the Systems are
installed and ready for content.

This
prospectus relates to the resale by certain selling security holders of
the Company of 500,000 shares of our Common Stock, which may, at our
option and subject to certain conditions, be issued from time to time on a
quarterly basis as interest and additional share payments pursuant to the
three-year 10% notes issued by us on August 27, 2007 (the “2007 Senior
Notes”). On August 24, 2007, we entered into a securities
purchase agreement with the selling security holders in which we agreed to
issue the 2007 Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$55,000,000. The 2007 Senior Notes have a term of three years,
which may be extended for up to one 6 month period at our discretion if
certain conditions are met. Interest on the Notes is due
quarterly and may be paid in cash or, at our option and subject to certain
conditions, in shares of our Class A Common Stock. Interest
payments, since the date the 2007 Senior Notes were issued, have been made
in shares of Class A Common Stock for the quarters ended December 31, 2007
and March 31, 2008. The 2007 Senior Notes also required that we
issue to the purchasers of the 2007 Senior Notes as an additional payment
(i) for the first year of the term of the 2007 Senior Notes, 715,000
shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, and (ii) for the remainder
of the term of the 2007 Senior Notes, additional share payments at a rate
of between 2.4 and 4 shares per $1,000 principal value of the 2007 Senior
Notes in arrears at the end of each quarterly period beginning December
31, 2008 (these additional share payments are collectively referred to as
“Kicker Shares”). We have already issued to the purchasers
715,000 shares of Class A Common Stock as the Kicker Shares payment for
the first year of the term of the 2007 Senior Notes. The number
of Kicker Shares to be issued for the remainder of the term is dependent
on the current price of the Class A Common Stock during a measurement
period immediately prior to such payment. Subsequent Kicker
Share payments for the remainder of the term of the 2007 Senior Notes will
be made quarterly. In connection with the 2007 Senior Notes, we
also agreed to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock
issued as additional Kicker Share payments and as payment of interest
resulting in the offering under this prospectus. The selling
security holders may offer to sell the shares of Common Stock being
offered by this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at
the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated
prices. Please see “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus
for a detailed explanation of how the shares of Common Stock may be
sold.

_________________
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and
uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below
and in any prospectus supplement before deciding to invest in our
securities. The risks described below are not the only ones facing
our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we
presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our
company. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely
affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could
decline, and you could lose all or part or your investment. In
assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included
or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto of our company included elsewhere in this
prospectus.
Risks
relating to our business
An
inability to obtain necessary financing may have a material adverse effect on
our financial position, operations and prospects if unanticipated capital needs
arise.
Our
capital requirements may vary significantly from what we currently project and
be affected by unforeseen delays and expenses. We may experience
problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by
similarly-situated companies, as well as difficulties as a result of changes in
economic, regulatory or competitive conditions. If we encounter any
of these problems or difficulties or have underestimated our operating losses or
capital requirements, we may require significantly more financing than we
currently anticipate. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
obtain any required additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at
all. An inability to obtain necessary financing could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, operations and
prospects. The agreement for a credit facility (the “GE Credit
Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) contains certain
restrictive covenants that restrict AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries from making
certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness, engaging in a new
line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or
merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with
affiliates and is non-recourse to the Company and our
subsidiaries. In August 2007, the Company entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company
issued 10% Senior Notes (the “2007 Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal
amount of $55.0 million (the “August 2007 Private Placement”). The 2007 Senior
Notes restrict the Company and its subsidiaries (other than AccessIT DC and its
subsidiaries) from incurring other indebtedness, creating or acquiring
subsidiaries which do not guarantee such notes, making certain investments and
modifying authorized capital and which prohibits the Company and its
subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness in an aggregate of $315.0 million until
certain conditions are met.
We
have limited experience in our newer business operations, which may negatively
affect our ability to generate sufficient revenues to achieve
profitability.
We were
incorporated on March 31, 2000. Our first data center, a part of our
initial business, became operational in December 2000. Subsequent
thereto, we added additional data centers and expanded into the following new
business areas which are currently our primary focus: (a) providing
satellite delivery services, through our wholly-owned subsidiary AccessIT
Satellite; (b) operating a movie theatre, through our wholly-owned subsidiary
ADM Cinema; (c) placing digital cinema projection systems into movie theatres
and collecting virtual print fees in connection with such placements, through
our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary AccessIT DC; (d) providing pre-show
on-screen advertising and entertainment, through our wholly-owned subsidiary ACS
and (e) operating an alternate content distribution company, through our
wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture. Although we have
retained certain senior management of the acquired businesses and have hired
other experienced personnel, we have little experience in these new areas of
business and cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and market the
services provided thereby. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to
successfully operate these businesses. Our efforts to expand into
these five business areas may prove costly and time-consuming and have become
our primary business focus.
Our
limited experience in the digital cinema industry and providing transactional
software for movie distributors and exhibitors could result in:
·
|
increased
operating and capital costs;
|
·
|
an
inability to effect a viable growth strategy;
|
·
|
service
interruptions for our customers; and
|
·
|
an
inability to attract and retain
customers.
|
We may
not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability through the
operation of our digital cinema business or our entertainment software
business. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in
marketing and operating these new businesses or, even if we are successful in
doing so, that we will not experience additional losses.
We
face the risks of a development company in a new and rapidly evolving market and
may not be able successfully to address such risks and ever be successful or
profitable.
We have
encountered and will continue to encounter the challenges, uncertainties and
difficulties frequently experienced by development companies in new and rapidly
evolving markets, including:
·
|
limited
operating experience;
|
·
|
net
losses;
|
·
|
lack
of sufficient customers or loss of significant
customers;
|
·
|
insufficient
revenues and cash flow to be self-sustaining;
|
·
|
necessary
capital expenditures;
|
·
|
an
unproven business model;
|
·
|
a
changing business focus; and
|
·
|
difficulties
in managing potentially rapid
growth.
|
This is
particularly the case with respect to our businesses with less operating
history. We cannot assure you that we will ever be successful or
profitable.
If
the current digital technology changes, demand for DMS’ delivery systems and
software may be reduced and if use of the current digital presentation requiring
electronic delivery does not expand, DMS’ business will not experience
growth.
Even
though we are among the first to integrate software and systems for the delivery
of digital content to movie theatres and other venues, there can be no assurance
that certain major movie studios or providers of alternative digital content
that currently rely on traditional distribution networks to provide physical
delivery of digital files will quickly adopt a different method, particularly
electronic delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theatres or other
venues or that those major movie studios or content providers that currently
utilize electronic delivery to distribute digital content will continue to do
so. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital
files are delivered does not continue to occur, the demand for DMS’ delivery
systems and software will not grow and if new technology is developed which is
adopted by major movie studios or providers of alternative digital content,
there may be reduced demand for DMS’ delivery systems and software.
If
we do not respond to future advances in technology and changes in customer
demands, our financial position, prospects and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
The
demand for our digital media delivery services and entertainment software will
be affected, in large part, by future advances in technology and changes in
customer demands. Our success will also depend on our ability to
address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our existing and
prospective customers.
We cannot
assure you that there will be a continued demand for the digital cinema software
and delivery services provided by DMS. DMS’ profitability depends
largely upon the general expansion of digital presentations at theatres, which
may not occur for several years. Although AccessIT DC has entered
into digital cinema deployment agreements with seven motion picture studios,
there can be no assurance that these and other major movie studios which are
currently relying on traditional distribution networks to provide physical
delivery of digital files will adopt a different method, particularly electronic
delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theatres or that they will
release all, some or any of their motion pictures via digital
cinema. If the development of digital presentations and changes in
the way digital files are delivered does not continue to occur, there may be
reduced demand or market for DMS’ software and systems.
We
expect competition to be intense: if we are unable to compete successfully, our
business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.
The
markets for the managed services business, the digital cinema business and the
entertainment software business, although relatively new, are competitive,
evolving and subject to rapid technological and other changes. We
expect the intensity of competition in each of these areas to increase in the
future. Companies willing to expend the necessary capital to create
facilities and/or software similar to ours may compete with our
business. Increased competition may result in reduced revenues and/or
margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our
business. In order to compete effectively in each of these fields, we
must differentiate ourselves from competitors.
Many of
our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and
greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us, which may
permit them to adopt aggressive pricing policies. As a result, we may
suffer from pricing pressures that could adversely affect our ability to
generate revenues and our results of operations. Many of our
competitors also have significantly greater name and brand recognition and a
larger customer base than us. We may not be able to compete
successfully with our competitors. If we are unable to compete
successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously
harmed.
Our
plan to acquire additional businesses involves risks, including our inability
successfully to complete an acquisition, our assumption of liabilities, dilution
of your investment and significant costs.
Although
there are no acquisitions identified by us as probable at this time, we may make
further acquisitions of similar or complementary businesses or
assets. Even if we identify appropriate acquisition candidates, we
may be unable to negotiate successfully the terms of the acquisitions, finance
them, integrate the acquired business into our then existing business and/or
attract and retain customers. We are also subject to limitations on
our ability to make acquisitions pursuant to the 2007 Senior
Notes. Completing an acquisition and integrating an acquired
business, including our recently acquired businesses, may require a significant
diversion of management time and resources and involves assuming new
liabilities. Any acquisition also involves the risks that the assets
acquired may prove less valuable than expected and/or that we may assume unknown
or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. If we make one or more
significant acquisitions in which the consideration consists of our capital
stock, your equity interest in our company could be diluted, perhaps
significantly. If we were to proceed with one or more significant
acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to
use a substantial portion of our available cash, or obtain additional financing
to consummate them.
Our
recent acquisitions involve risks, including our inability to integrate
successfully the new businesses and our assumption of certain
liabilities.
We have
made several meaningful acquisitions to expand into new business
areas. However, we may experience costs and hardships in integrating
the new acquisitions into our current business structure. Most
recently, in July 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of ACS and in
January 2007, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger
Picture, purchased substantially all of the assets of BP/KTF, LLC. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively market the services
provided by ACS and The Bigger Picture. Further, these new businesses
and assets may involve a significant diversion of our management time and
resources and be costly. Our acquisition of these businesses and
assets also involves the risks that the businesses and assets acquired may prove
to be less valuable than we expected and/or that we may assume unknown or
unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. In addition, we assumed
certain liabilities in connection with these acquisitions and we cannot assure
you that we will be able to satisfy adequately such assumed
liabilities. Other companies that offer similar products and services
may be able to market and sell their products and services more cost-effectively
than we can.
If
we do not manage our growth, our business will be harmed.
We may
not be successful in managing our rapid growth. Since November 2004,
we have acquired the businesses discussed above and in connection with those
acquisitions, we have formed additional subsidiaries. These
subsidiaries operate in business areas different from our IDC operations
business. The number of our employees has grown from 11 in March 2003
to just under 300 in March 2008. Past growth has placed, and future
growth will continue to place, significant challenges on our management and
resources, related to the successful integration of the newly acquired
businesses. To manage the expected growth of our operations, we will
need to improve our existing, and implement new, operational and financial
systems, procedures and controls. We may also need to expand our
finance, administrative, client services and operations staffs and train and
manage our growing employee base effectively. Our current and planned
personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our
future operations. Our business, results of
operations and financial position will suffer if we do not effectively manage
our growth.
If
we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, our business will
suffer.
We depend
heavily on technology to operate our business. Our success depends on
protecting our intellectual property, which is one of our most important
assets. We have intellectual property consisting of:
·
|
licensable
software products;
|
·
|
rights
to certain domain names;
|
·
|
registered
service marks on certain names and phrases;
|
·
|
various
unregistered trademarks and service marks;
|
·
|
know-how;
|
·
|
rights
to certain logos; and.
|
·
|
a
pending patent application with respect to certain of our
software.
|
If we do
not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business, financial
position and results of operations would be harmed. Our means of
protecting our intellectual property may not be
adequate. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our
intellectual property or to obtain and use information that we regard as
proprietary. In addition, competitors may be able to devise methods
of competing with our business that are not covered by our intellectual
property. Our competitors may independently develop similar
technology, duplicate our technology or design around any intellectual property
that we may obtain.
The
success of some of our business operations depends on the proprietary nature of
certain software. We do not, however, have patents with respect to
much of our software. Because there is no patent protection in
respect of much of our software, other companies are not prevented from
developing and marketing similar software. We cannot assure you,
therefore, that we will not face more competitors or that we can compete
effectively against any companies that develop similar software. We
also cannot assure you that we can compete effectively or not suffer from
pricing pressure with respect to our existing and developing products that could
adversely affect our ability to generate revenues. Further, our
pending patent application may not be issued and if issued may not be broad
enough to protect our rights, or if such patent is issued such patent could be
successfully challenged.
Although
we hold rights to various web domain names, regulatory bodies in the United
States and abroad could establish additional top-level domains, appoint
additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain
names. The relationship between regulations governing domain names
and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is
unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring
domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of our proprietary
rights.
We
may continue to have customer concentration in our business, and the loss of one
or more of our largest customers could have a material adverse effect on
us.
We expect
that we will rely, at least in the near future, upon a limited number of
customers for a substantial percentage of our revenues and may continue to have
customer concentration company-wide. For the fiscal year ended March
31, 2008, AccessIT DC’s customers comprised 78.7% of Media Services
revenues. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, ACS and our
Pavilion Theatre comprised 74.8% and 21.4% of Content & Entertainment
revenues, respectively. Our advertising business consists mainly of
local advertisers, with no one customer representing 10% of in-theatre
advertising revenues and all the customers of our Pavilion Theatre are the
general public. Media Services’ customers are principally worldwide
motion picture studios. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,
five customers, 20th Century
Fox, Disney Worldwide Services, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Releasing
Corporation and Warner Brothers, each represented 10% or more of AccessIT DC’s
revenues and together generated 57.3%, 8.2%, 21.0% and 47.1% of AccessIT DC’s,
AccessIT SW’s, AccessDM’s and the Media Service segment’s revenues,
respectively. In addition, many of our revenue-generating assets,
including the assets of AccessIT DC, are located in movie theatres nationwide,
which we do not own or control. If some portion of these assets were
out of service for any reason, such as the closure of exhibitor locations or a
calamity that causes a physical property loss such as fire or flood, we would
experience an interruption in the amount of revenues we generate until those
assets could be restored to service.
Our
substantial debt and lease obligations could impair our financial flexibility
and restrict our business significantly.
We now
have, and will continue to have, significant debt obligations. We
have notes payable to third parties with principal amounts aggregating $267.7
million as of March 31, 2008. We also have a capital lease obligation
covering facilities with the principal amount of $5.9 million as of March 31,
2008.
In August
2007, we issued the 2007 Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0
million. Additionally, AccessIT DC, our indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary, has entered into the GE Credit Facility, which permits us to borrow
up to $217.0 million of which $201.3 million has been drawn down as of March 31,
2008 and is included in the notes payable to third parties mentioned
above. The obligations and restrictions under the GE Credit Facility,
the 2007 Senior Notes and our other debt obligations could have important
consequences for us, including:
·
|
limiting
our ability to obtain necessary financing in the future and making it more
difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations;
|
·
|
requiring
us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our
debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to
fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate
requirements;
|
·
|
making
us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business and limiting our
flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business;
and
|
·
|
placing
us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that might have
stronger balance sheets or better access to capital by, for example,
limiting our ability to enter into new
markets.
|
If we are
unable to meet our lease and debt obligations, we could be forced to restructure
or refinance our obligations, to seek additional equity financing or to sell
assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at
all. As a result, we could default on those obligations and in the
event of such default, our lenders could accelerate our debt or take other
actions that could restrict our operations.
The
foregoing risks would be intensified to the extent we borrow additional money or
incur additional debt.
The
agreements governing our GE Credit Facility and our issuance of the 2007 Senior
Notes in August 2007 impose certain limitations on us.
The
agreement governing our GE Credit Facility restricts the ability of AccessIT DC
and its existing and future subsidiaries to, among other things:
·
|
make
certain capital expenditures;
|
·
|
incur
other indebtedness;
|
·
|
engage
in a new line of business;
|
·
|
sell
certain assets;
|
·
|
acquire,
consolidate with, or merge with or into other companies;
and
|
·
|
enter
into transactions with affiliates.
|
The
agreements governing our issuance of the 2007 Senior Notes in August 2007
restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to certain
exceptions, to, among other things:
·
|
incur
other indebtedness;
|
·
|
create
or acquire subsidiaries which do not guarantee the
notes;
|
·
|
make
certain investments;
|
·
|
pay
dividends; and
|
·
|
modify
authorized capital.
|
We
may not be able to generate the amount of cash needed to fund our future
operations.
Our
ability either to make payments on or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund
planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts, will depend
on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to
generate cash is in part subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.
Based on
our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and
available cash financed through the issuance of securities and our GE Credit
Facility will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs through at least
June 2009. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including,
among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our
business, liquidity or capital requirements. If we are unable to
service our indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy
that may include actions such as:
·
|
reducing
capital expenditures;
|
·
|
reducing
research and development efforts;
|
·
|
selling
assets;
|
·
|
restructuring
or refinancing our remaining indebtedness; and
|
·
|
seeking
additional funding.
|
We cannot
assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from
operations, or that we will be able to make future borrowings in amounts
sufficient to enable us to pay the principal and interest on our current
indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to
refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before
maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any
of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
We
have incurred losses since our inception.
We have
incurred losses since our inception in March 2000 and have financed our
operations principally through equity investments and borrowings. As
of March 31, 2008, we had positive working capital, defined as current assets
less current liabilities, of $14.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of
$29.7 million; we had an accumulated deficit of $100.7 million; and, from
inception through such date, and we had used $33.6 million in cash for operating
activities. Our net losses are likely to continue for the foreseeable
future.
Our
ability to become profitable is dependent upon us achieving a sufficient volume
of business from our customers. If we cannot achieve a high enough
volume, we likely will incur additional net and operating losses. We
may be unable to continue our business as presently conducted unless we obtain
funds from additional financings.
Our net
losses and cash outflows may increase as and to the extent that we increase the
size of our business operations, increase the purchases of Systems for AccessIT
DC’s Phase I Deployment or expected Phase II Deployment, increase our sales and
marketing activities, enlarge our customer support and professional services and
acquire additional businesses. These efforts may prove to be more
expensive than we currently anticipate which could further increase our
losses. We must significantly increase our revenues in order to
become profitable. We cannot reliably predict when, or if, we will
become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be
able to sustain it. If we cannot generate operating income or
positive cash flows in the future, we will be unable to meet our working capital
requirements.
Many
of our corporate actions may be controlled by our officers, directors and
principal stockholders; these actions may benefit these principal stockholders
more than our other stockholders.
As of
June 6, 2008, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders,
those known by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
in the aggregate, approximately 43.0% of our outstanding common
stock. In particular, A. Dale Mayo, our President and Chief Executive
Officer, beneficially holds all 733,811 shares of Class B common stock, and
230,388 shares of Class A common stock which collectively represent
approximately 5.0% of our outstanding common stock, and includes 59,761
restricted shares of Class A common stock, 87,500 shares of Class A common stock
held by Mr. Mayo’s spouse, of which Mr. Mayo disclaims beneficial ownership, and
12,000 shares of Class A common stock held for the account of Mr. Mayo’s
grandchildren, the custodian of which accounts is Mr. Mayo’s spouse, of which
Mr. Mayo also disclaims beneficial ownership. Our Class B common
stock entitles the holder to ten votes per share. The shares of Class
A common stock have one vote per share. Due to the supervoting Class
B common stock, Mr. Mayo has approximately 22.5% of our voting
power. These stockholders, and Mr. Mayo himself, will have
significant influence over our business affairs, with the ability to control
matters requiring approval by our security holders, including elections of
directors and approvals of mergers or other business
combinations. Also, certain corporate actions directed by our
officers may not necessarily inure to the proportional benefit of other
stockholders of our company.
Our
success will significantly depend on our ability to hire and retain key
personnel.
Our
success will depend in significant part upon the continued services of our key
technical, sales and senior management personnel. If we lose one or
more of our key employees, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement(s)
and our business and results of operations could be adversely
affected. In particular, our performance depends significantly upon
the continued service of A. Dale Mayo, our President and Chief Executive
Officer, whose experience and relationships in the movie theatre industry are
integral to our business, particularly in the business areas of AccessIT SW, DMS
and AccessIT DC. Although we have obtained two $5.0 million key-man
life insurance policies in respect of Mr. Mayo, the loss of his services would
have a material and adverse effect on our business, operations and
prospects. Each policy carries a death benefit of $5.0 million, and
while we are the beneficiary of each policy, under one of the policies the
proceeds are to be used to repurchase, after reimbursement of all premiums paid
by us, shares of our capital stock held by Mr. Mayo’s estate at the
then-determined fair market value. We also rely on the experience and
expertise of certain officers of our subsidiaries. In addition, our
future success will depend upon our ability to hire, train, integrate and retain
qualified new employees.
We
may be subject to environmental risks relating to the on-site storage of diesel
fuel and batteries.
Our IDCs
contain tanks for the storage of diesel fuel for our generators and significant
quantities of lead acid batteries used to provide back-up power generation for
uninterrupted operation of our customers’ equipment. We cannot assure
you that our systems will be free from leaks or that use of our systems will not
result in spills. Any leak or spill, depending on such factors as the
nature and quantity of the materials involved and the environmental setting,
could result in interruptions to our operations and the incurrence of
significant costs; particularly to the extent we incur liability under
applicable environmental laws. This could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial position and results of
operations. Although we are still the lessee of the IDCs,
substantially all of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia
and not the Company.
We
may not be successful in the eventual disposal of our Data Center
Services.
In
connection with the disposition of our Data Center Services, we entered into a
master collocation agreement (“MCA”) with FiberMedia AIT, LLC and Telesource
Group, Inc. (together, “FiberMedia”) to operate our IDCs. FiberMedia
operates a network of geographically distributed IDCs. We have
assigned our IDC customer contracts to FiberMedia, and going forward, FiberMedia
will be responsible for all customer service issues, including the maintenance
of the IDCs, sales, installation of customer equipment, cross connects,
electrical and other customer needs. Among such items are certain
operating leases which
expire
from June 2009 through January 2016. As of March 31, 2008,
obligations under these operating leases totaled $8.5 million. We
will attempt to obtain landlord consents to assign each facility lease to
FiberMedia. Until such landlord consents are
obtained,
we will remain as the lessee and pursuant to the MCA, FiberMedia will reimburse
our costs under the facility leases, including rent, at an escalating
percentage, starting at 50% in May 2007 and increasing to 100% in May 2008 and
thereafter through the remaining term of each IDC lease. 100% of all
other operating costs for each IDC, are payable by FiberMedia through the term
of each IDC lease. We cannot assure you that the existing landlords
would consent to the assignment of these leases to a buyer of our data
centers. As a result, we may have continuing obligations under
these leases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial position and results of operations.
If
the market price of our common stock declines, we may not be able to maintain
our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market which may impair our financial
flexibility and restrict our business significantly.
The stock
markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies that may be
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of such companies. These
broad market movements may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s
Common Stock. The Company’s Common Stock is presently listed on
NASDAQ. Although we are not currently in jeopardy of delisting, we
cannot assure you, should the Company’s Common Stock decline significantly, that
the Company will meet the criteria for continued listing on NASDAQ. Any such
delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing
sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the loss of
confidence in our financial stability by suppliers, customers and employees. If
the Company’s Common Stock is delisted from the NASDAQ, we may face a lengthy
process to re-list the Company’s Common Stock, if we are able to
re-list the Company’s Common Stock at all, and the liquidity that NASDAQ
provides will no longer be available to investors.
If the
Company’s Common Stock were to be delisted from NASDAQ, the holders of the 2007
Senior Notes would have the right to redeem the outstanding principal of the
2007 Senior Notes plus interest. As a result, we could be forced to restructure
or refinance our obligations, to seek additional equity financing or to sell
assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at all. If we
default under the 2007 Senior Notes obligations, our lenders could take actions
that would restrict our operations.
While
we believe we currently have adequate internal control over financial reporting,
we are required to assess our internal control over financial reporting on an
annual basis and any future adverse results from such assessment could result in
a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse
effect on our stock price.
Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the accompanying rules and regulations
promulgated by the SEC to implement it require us to include in our
Form 10-K an annual report by our management regarding the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting. The report includes, among other
things, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year. This assessment must
include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting identified by management. During this process, if our
management
identifies
one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting
that cannot be remediated in a timely manner, we will be unable to assert such
internal control is effective. While we currently believe our internal control
over financial reporting is effective, the effectiveness of our internal
controls in future periods is subject to the risk that our controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, and, as a result, the degree of
compliance of our internal control over financial reporting with the applicable
policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we are unable to conclude that our
internal control over financial reporting is effective (or if our independent
auditors disagree with our conclusion), we could lose investor confidence in the
accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse
effect on our stock price.
Risks
relating to the offering
The
liquidity of the Common Stock is uncertain; the limited trading volume of the
Common Stock may depress the price of such stock or cause it to fluctuate
significantly.
Although
shares of the Common Stock are listed on NASDAQ, there has been a limited public
market for the Common Stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading
market for the Common Stock will develop. As a result, you may not be
able to sell your shares of Common Stock in short time periods, or possibly at
all. The absence of an active trading market may cause the price per
share of the Common Stock to fluctuate significantly.
Substantial
resales or future issuances of the Common Stock could depress our stock
price.
The
market price for the Common Stock could decline, perhaps significantly, as a
result of resales or issuances of a large number of shares of the Common Stock
in the public market or even the perception that such resales or issuances could
occur, including resales of the shares being registered hereunder pursuant to
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In
addition, we have outstanding a substantial number of options, warrants and
other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock that may be exercised
in the future. Certain holders of these warrants and other
securities, as well as holders of our
outstanding
shares of Common Stock, have piggy-back registration rights and the holders of
shares of Common Stock issuable in exchange for its shares of certain warrants
have demand and piggy-back registration rights. These factors could
also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of
our equity securities.
You
will incur substantial dilution as a result of certain future equity
issuances.
We have a
substantial number of options, warrants and other securities currently
outstanding which may be immediately converted into shares of Common
Stock. To the extent that these options, warrants or similar
securities are exercised or converted, or to the extent we issue additional
shares of Common Stock in the future, as the case may be, there will be further
dilution to holders of shares of the Common Stock.
Provisions
of our certificate of incorporation, Delaware law and the 2007 Senior Notes
could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.
Provisions
of our certificate of incorporation, as well as of Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), could make it more difficult for a third
party to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our
stockholders.
Our
certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. The terms of our preferred stock may be fixed by the
company’s board of directors without further stockholder action. The
terms of any outstanding series or class of preferred stock may include priority
claims to assets and dividends and special voting rights, which could adversely
affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. Any future issuance(s)
of preferred stock could make the takeover of the company more difficult,
discourage unsolicited bids for control of the company in which our stockholders
could receive premiums for their shares, dilute or subordinate the rights of
holders of Common Stock and adversely affect the trading price of the Common
Stock.
Under
Section 203 of the DGCL, Delaware corporations whose securities are listed on a
national securities exchange, like NASDAQ, may not engage in business
combinations such as mergers or acquisitions with any interested stockholders,
defined as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our
outstanding common stock without obtaining certain prior
approvals. As a result of the application of Section 203, potential
acquirers of the company may be discouraged from attempting to effect an
acquisition transaction with the company, thereby depriving holders of the
company’s securities of opportunities to sell or otherwise dispose of the
securities at prices above prevailing market prices.
Under the
2007 Senior Notes, we must pay to the Purchasers certain additional
consideration upon a change in control.
We
may not be able to maintain listing on NASDAQ, which may adversely affect the
ability of purchasers in this offering to resell their securities in the
secondary market.
If the
Company were unable to meet the continued listing criteria of NASDAQ and the
Company’s Common Stock became delisted, trading of the Company’s Common Stock
could thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter market in the so-called
"pink sheets" or, if available, on the National Association of Securities
Dealer’s (NASD) Electronic Bulletin Board. In such case, an investor would
likely find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate market
quotations for, the Company’s Common Stock.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We will
receive no proceeds from the sale of any of or all of the shares being offered
by the selling security holders under this prospectus.

Management, LLC, the manager of Enable Growth Partners, LP, Enable
Opportunity Partners LP, and Pierce Diversified Strategy Master Fund LLC,
Ena, share the discretionary authority to vote and dispose of the shares

|
No

On August
24, 2007, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the
purchasers party thereto pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue the 2007
Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $55,000,000. Such
purchasers consist of the selling stockholders listed in this
prospectus. The 2007 Senior Notes were issued on August 27, 2007 and
have a term of three years which may be extended for up to one 6 month period at
the discretion of the Company if certain conditions are met, or prepaid in whole
or in part following the first anniversary of the issuance of the Notes, subject
to certain conditions and penalties. Interest on the Notes is due quarterly and
may be paid in cash or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain
conditions, in shares of its Class A Common Stock. Interest payments
have thus far been made in shares of Class A Common Stock for the quarters ended
December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008.
The Notes
also required that the Company issue to the purchasers 715,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock of the Company, paid as an equity kicker for the first year.
Pursuant to the Notes, the Company will issue in arrears at the end of each
quarterly period beginning December 31, 2008 additional Kicker Shares, as
defined above, at a rate of between 2.4 and 4 shares per $1,000 principal value
of the 2007 Senior Notes, such number of shares to be dependent on the current
price of the Class A Common Stock during a measurement period immediately prior
to such payment. Subsequent Kicker Share payments will be made
quarterly.
In
connection with the 2007 Senior Notes, the Company agreed to register the resale
of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued as Kicker Shares and as payment of
interest, resulting in the offering under this prospectus.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Each
Selling Stockholder of the Common Stock of the Company and any of their
pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any
or all of their shares of Common Stock on the Trading Market or any other stock
exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in
private transactions. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through
underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for
underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. These
sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the
sale, at varying prices determined at the time of the sale or at negotiated
prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:
·
|
on
any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the
securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
|
·
|
in
the over-the-counter market;
|
·
|
in
transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the
over-the-counter market;
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
·
|
settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part;
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
|
·
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The Selling Stockholders may also sell
shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling
Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in
sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the
Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser
of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set
forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction
not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASD Rule
2440;
and in
the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD
IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the
Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into
hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which
may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell
shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their
short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in
turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also
loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell
such shares. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or
other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the
creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such
broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this
prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may
resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any
broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed
to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with
such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the
Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company
that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall
any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate,
would exceed eight percent (8%).
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company
incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to
indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Selling Stockholders will be
subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or an
exemption therefrom. In addition, any securities covered by this
prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There
is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed
sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by
the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume
limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule
of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the
prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.
In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they
have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an
exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is
complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations
under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale
shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to
the Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of
the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or
any other person. At the time a particular offering of the shares of
Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required as determined by the
Company in its sole discretion, will be distributed which will set forth the
aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the
offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any
discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the
Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or
reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. We will make copies of this
prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the
need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the
time of the sale unless exempted from the prospectus delivery
requirement.
The Selling Stockholders may pledge or
grant a security interest in some or all of the convertible notes, warrants or
shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of
their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell
the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any
amendment or supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if
necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee
or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this
prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the
shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees,
donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial
owners for purposes of this prospectus.
There can be no assurance that any
Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock
registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus
forms a part.
Once sold under the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock
will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our
affiliates.
We will not receive any of the proceeds
from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of Common
Stock. We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, including, without
limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of
compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a
Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
if any.
LEGAL
MATTERS

the Common Stock has been passed on for us by Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, New
York, New York.

INDEMNIFICATION
AGAINST LIABILITY UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
We are permitted to indemnify to the
fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, each director, officer or
other authorized representative of the Company who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he is or was an authorized representative of
the Company, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties) and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding.
A director of the Company shall not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however that this provision
shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent that such
elimination or liability is expressly prohibited by the Delaware General
Corporation Law as in effect at the time of the alleged breach of duty by such
director.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors,
officers and controlling persons pursuant to any arrangement, provision or
otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of
expenses incurred or paid by any of our directors, officers or controlling
persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
