NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are unaudited, include the accounts of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all entries necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These entries consisted only of normal recurring items. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year. The Company generates a substantial percentage of net sales in the last three months of every calendar year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Please refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to asset impairments, reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, contingencies and litigation, valuation and recognition of share-based payments and income taxes. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, foreign currency fluctuations, and declines in customer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Form 10-Q with the SEC on November 10, 2009.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance for subsequent events that establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This guidance is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. This guidance requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether the date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance for subsequent events during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments whenever a public company issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the financial statements. In February��2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which allows for the delay of the effective date of the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements for one year for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance for financial assets and liabilities as of April 1, 2008 with the exception of the application of the statement to nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, which the Company adopted on April 1, 2009. This adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on fair value determination, which provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for business combinations, which establishes principles and
6
requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal 2010. The impact of the adoption on the Company’s results of operations and financial position will depend on the nature and extent of business combinations that it completes, if any, in or after fiscal 2010.
In May 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, which applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a “net settlement feature,” which means that such convertible debt instruments, by their terms, may be settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion. This guidance requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled wholly or partially in cash upon conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner reflective of the issuers’ nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on April 1, 2009, but it did not have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s convertible debt instrument does not contain a net settlement feature.
In April 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for determining the useful life of intangible assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset to include an entity’s historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, adjusted for entity-specific factors, even when there is likely to be “substantial cost or material modifications.” This guidance states that in the absence of historical experience an entity should use assumptions that market participants would make regarding renewals or extensions, adjusted for entity-specific factors. The guidance for determining the useful life of intangible assets will be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date of April 1, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance beginning April 1, 2009, and the adoption did not have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for accounting for defensive intangible assets, which applies to defensive intangible assets, which are acquired intangible assets that the acquirer does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to them. As these assets are separately identifiable, the guidance requires an acquiring entity to account for defensive intangible assets as a separate unit of accounting which should be amortized to expense over the period the intangible asset will directly or indirectly affect the entity’s cash flows. Defensive intangible assets must be recognized at fair value in accordance with authoritative guidance. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance beginning April 1, 2009, and the adoption did not have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities, which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions may be participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing basic earnings per share (“EPS”) pursuant to the two-class method. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on April 1, 2009, but it did not have an impact on its unaudited consolidated financial statements as the Company’s unvested equity awards are not participating securities.
In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued authoritative guidance for determining whether an instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance beginning April 1, 2009, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance establishing the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The provisions of this guidance are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become nonauthoritative. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance; and (c) provide the basis for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. The Company adopted this guidance beginning July 1, 2009 and accordingly, has removed references to legacy U.S. GAAP herein.
(2) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense associated with share-based awards made to employees and directors based upon their grant date fair value. The Company records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which ranges from zero to four years. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 725,000 stock option grants, totaling less than 10% of the previously outstanding balance.

(3) Inventories

| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | |
(4) Bank Loan
The Company has a Credit Facility with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central) (“Wachovia”) to borrow funds under a revolving line of credit subject to the availability of eligible collateral (accounts receivable and inventories), which changes throughout the year. On June 23, 2009, the Company extended the term of the Credit Facility through October 31, 2012. As part of extending the term, the Company chose to reduce the amount of the Credit Facility from $35.0 million to $30.0 million. The line of credit accrued interest on the daily outstanding balance at the U.S. prime rate plus 0.75% per annum through June 30, 2009, after which interest accrues at the U.S. prime rate plus 2.00% or, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 3.50% with a LIBOR floor of 1.50%. At September 30, 2009, the interest rate was 5.25%. The Company is also required to pay a monthly service fee of $1,000, which increased to $2,000 as of July 1, 2009, and an unused line fee equal to 0.25% of the unused portion of the loan, which increased to 0.50% on July 1, 2009. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority interest in the inventories, equipment, accounts receivable and investment properties of Mad Catz, Inc. (“MCI”) and by a pledge of all of the capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries and is guaranteed by the Company. The Company is required to meet a quarterly financial covenant based on the Company’s trailing four quarter’s coverage of fixed charges. The Company was in compliance with the current fixed charge coverage ratio covenant as of September 30, 2009.
(5) Convertible Notes Payable
On November 20, 2007, the Company issued to the seller of Saitek $14,500,000 of convertible notes (“Saitek Notes”) as part of the consideration relating to that acquisition. On June 24, 2009, the terms of the Saitek Notes were amended as follows. The maturity of the Saitek Notes was extended to March 31, 2019 with annual principal and interest payments of $2,400,000 due beginning March 31, 2011 until the Saitek Notes are retired. The Saitek Notes will bear interest at 7.5% through March 31, 2014 and 9.0% thereafter. Quarterly cash payments for partial interest in the amount of approximately $45,000 are due beginning June 30, 2009, in addition to an interest payment of $500,000 due on October 31, 2009, and an interest payment of $596,035 due on March 31, 2010. All payments due have been made in accordance with the agreement. The Saitek Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.419 per share.
(6) Completion Note
Pursuant to the Saitek purchase agreement, a working capital adjustment in the amount of $847,000 was made to the purchase price based on the completion of the final balance sheet, and the Company financed this amount with a note payable to The Winkler Atlantic Trust. The note is unsecured, was originally due August 1, 2011 including all accrued interest, and bears interest at 7.0% per annum compounded annually. As part of restructuring the Saitek Notes described above, the Company is required to repay this note in full, plus accrued interest, on March 31, 2010.
(7) Comprehensive Loss

(8) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive common stock-based equity instruments.
Outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 7,094,433 and 6,988,592 shares of the Company’s common stock for the three and

six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and 3,722,688 and 3,730,013 shares for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, were excluded from diluted net loss per share calculations because inclusion of such options would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses in these periods. Weighted average shares of 10,217,744 related to the convertible notes payable were excluded from the calculation for each of the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 because of their anti-dilutive effect during the period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section contains forward-looking statements and forward looking information (collectively “forward-looking statements”) as defined in applicable securities legislation involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including those set out under “Forward-looking Statements” herein and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and in Part II Other Information — Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
Overview
Our Business
We design, manufacture (primarily through third parties in Asia), market and distribute accessories for all major videogame platforms, the PC and, to a far lesser extent, the iPod and other audio devices. Our accessories are marketed primarily under the Mad Catz, Saitek, Joytech, GameShark and AirDrives brands; we also produce for selected customers a limited range of products which are marketed on a “private label” basis. Our products include videogame, PC and audio accessories, such as control pads, steering wheels, joysticks, memory cards, video cables, flight sticks, dance pads, microphones, car adapters, carry cases, mice, keyboards and headsets. We also market videogame enhancement products and publish videogames.
Seasonality and Fluctuation of Sales
We generate a substantial percentage of our net sales in the last three months of every calendar year, our fiscal third quarter. Our quarterly results of operations can be expected to fluctuate significantly in the future, as a result of many factors, including: seasonal influences on our sales; unpredictable consumer preferences and spending trends; the introduction of new videogame platforms; the need to increase inventories in advance of our primary selling season; and timing of introductions of new products.
Potential Fluctuations in Foreign Currency
During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009, approximately 47% and 43% of total net sales was transacted outside of the United States, respectively. The majority of our international business is presently conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from normal business operations are credited to or charged against earnings in the period incurred. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which we conduct our business relative to the U.S. dollar will cause currency transaction gains and losses, which we have experienced in the past and continue to experience. Due to the volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate
9
fluctuations upon future operating results. There can be no assurances that we will not experience currency losses in the future. To date we have not hedged against foreign currency exposure.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting principles and estimates remain consistent with those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, consolidated net sales decreased 16% as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2008. In the United States, the decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to the typical holiday season ordering ramp being delayed from the end of September into October. In addition, there was a decline in sales on the Wii platform, as the period last year benefitted from strong sales of Wii Fit accessories, with no significant new product placements for the Wii platform in the current period and an overall softness in the videogame market, which led to the price cuts in videogame console hardware which occurred late in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. In Europe the decrease is largely attributable to foreign exchange fluctuations which accounted for approximately $869,000 of the decrease.
For the six months ended September 30, 2009, consolidated net sales decreased 10% as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2008. In the United States, the preponderance of the decline in net sales occurred during the second half of the six month period for the reasons described above. In Europe the decrease is largely attributable to foreign exchange fluctuations which accounted for approximately $2,514,000 of the decrease.

Gross Profit
Gross profit is defined as net sales less cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of product costs, cost of licenses and royalties, cost of freight-in and freight-out and distribution center costs, including depreciation and other overhead.
The following table presents net sales, cost of sales and gross profit for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 12.5%, while gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross profit margin, increased from 30.0% to 31.3%. Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 15.2%, while gross profit as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 32.3% to 30.5%. The changes in gross profit margin for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to foreign exchange fluctuations and product mix changes. We expect the gross profit margins to remain in the current range, although the gross profit margins may fluctuate due to factors such as changes in product mix and exchange rate fluctuations.

Sales and Marketing.Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of payroll, commissions, participation at trade shows and travel costs for our worldwide sales and marketing staff, advertising expense and costs of operating our websites. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 is primarily due to cost reductions being made throughout the organization. Going forward, we expect fixed costs to grow approximately at the rate of inflation, with some increase in discretionary marketing spending in connection with the launch of new products. Altogether, we expect expenses as a percentage of our sales to decline as we increase our sales.
General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits for our executive and administrative personnel, facilities costs and professional services, such as legal and accounting. The decrease in general and administration expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is primarily related to cost reductions being made throughout the organization. The decrease in general and administration expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 is primarily related to non-recurring professional fees related to the acquisition and integration of Saitek which were included in the 2008 period, as well as reduction in use of other outside consultants. Going forward, we expect these expenses as a percentage of our sales to decline as we increase our sales.
Research and Development.Research and development expenses include the costs of developing and enhancing new and existing products. The increase in research and development expenses relates to a greater focus on research and development activities. We expect research and development expenses to remain at their current levels for the foreseeable future.
Amortization.Amortization expenses consist of the amortization of the acquired intangible assets from Saitek and Joytech. These acquisitions occurred in the third and second quarters of fiscal 2008, respectively.

Interest expense has remained flat for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009.
The foreign exchange losses in the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are due primarily to the rise in value of the U.S. dollar versus the Great British Pound and the Euro during those periods versus these currencies in the comparable periods in the prior year.
Other income primarily consists of advertising income from our GameShark.com website. The decrease in other income is due primarily to lower advertising income.

The Company’s effective tax rate is a blended rate for different jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate fluctuates depending on the taxable income in each jurisdiction and the statutory income tax rates in those jurisdictions. Our U.S., Canadian and French operations are excluded from the effective tax rate calculation due to the full valuation allowances against their deferred tax assets. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 versus the prior year periods is primarily due to the lack of recognition of tax benefits related to the U.S. operating company’s pre-tax loss in the 2009 periods, which were required to be fully reserved against commencing in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Our cash flows from operating activities have typically included the collection of customer receivables generated by the sale of our products, offset by payments to vendors for materials and manufacture of our products. For the six months ended September 30, 2009, cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million compared to cash used of $5.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008. Cash used in operations for the six months ended September 30, 2009 primarily resulted from an increase of inventories due to the build-up in preparation for the peak annual sales season, partially offset by the correlating increase in accounts payable for the inventory build-up and an increase in sales related reserves. Cash used in operations for the six months ended September 30, 2008 primarily resulted from an increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales for the six months following the acquisition of Saitek and the increase of inventories due to the build-up in preparation for the peak annual sales season, partially offset by the correlating increase in accounts payable for the inventory build-up.
Due to the seasonality of our business, we typically experience a large build-up in inventories beginning during our second fiscal quarter ending September 30th, with corresponding increases in accounts payable and our bank loan balance. These increases are in anticipation of the holiday selling season, which occurs during our third fiscal quarter ending December 31st. During the third quarter our inventories decrease and accounts receivable increases as a result of the annual holiday selling. A large percentage of our annual revenue is generated during our third quarter. During our fourth quarter ending March 31st, the sales cycle completes with decreases in accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and bank loan and net increase in cash. We forecast the expected demand for the holiday selling season months in advance to ensure adequate quantities of inventory. Our sales people forecast holiday sales based on information that we receive from our major customers as to expected product purchases for the holiday season, and we also utilize mathematical modeling techniques to forecast demand based on recent point-of-sale activity. If demand does not meet expectations, the result will be excess inventories, reduced sales and the overall effect could result in a reduction to cash flows from operating activities following payment of accounts payable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million during the six months ended September 30, 2009 and $0.9 million during the six months ended September 30, 2008. Investing activities typically consist of capital expenditures to support our operations and were made up primarily of production molds, computers and machinery and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $5.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009 compared to cash provided of $3.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008. Cash provided by financing activities during both periods was a result of increased borrowings under our line of credit.
We maintain a Credit Facility with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central) (“Wachovia”) to borrow up to $30 million under a revolving line of credit subject to the availability of eligible collateral (accounts receivable and inventories), which changes throughout the year. The line of credit accrues interest on the daily outstanding balance at the U.S. prime rate plus 2.0% per annum. This facility expires on October 31, 2012. At September 30, 2009, the interest rate was 5.25%. We are also required to pay a monthly service fee of $2,000 and an unused line fee equal to 0.50% of the unused portion of the loan. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority interest in the inventories, equipment, accounts receivable and investment properties of Mad Catz, Inc. and by a pledge of all of the capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries and is guaranteed by the Company. We are required to meet a quarterly covenant based on the Company’s free cash flow. We were in compliance with this covenant as of September 30, 2009.
We believe that our available cash balances, anticipated cash flows from operations and available line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs for at least the next twelve months. However, we operate in a rapidly evolving and often unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we may not be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or from additional credit facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, additional debt financing may contain more restrictive covenants than our existing debt.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
As of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial parties, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
EBITDA
EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we had not recorded any goodwill impairment charges. To address the goodwill impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2009, we modified the calculation to exclude this non-operating, non-cash charge and defined the result as “Adjusted EBITDA”. We believe this to be a more meaningful measurement of performance than the previously calculated EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor is it being presented as an alternative to operating or net income as an indicator of operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As defined, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. We believe, however, that in addition to the performance measures found in our financial statements, Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our Company’s operating performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of operating performance in comparing our performance on a consistent basis over prior periods, as it removes from operating results the impact of our capital structure, including the interest expense resulting from our outstanding debt, and our asset base, including depreciation and amortization of our capital and intangible assets. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure for our lender. Due to the fact that there were no non-operating, non-cash charges in either of the periods ended September 30, 2009 or 2008, we reverted back to EBITDA for these periods and will return to using Adjusted EBITDA when applicable. We calculate EBITDA as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended | | | Six months ended | |
| | September 30, | | | September 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Net loss | | $ | (971 | ) | | $ | (1,239 | ) | | $ | (1,967 | ) | | $ | (2,016 | ) |
Adjustments: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Interest expense | | | 525 | | | | 525 | | | | 993 | | | | 992 | |
Income tax expense (benefit) | | | 227 | | | | (124 | ) | | | 449 | | | | (633 | ) |
Depreciation and amortization | | | 1,048 | | | | 1,063 | | | | 2,084 | | | | 2,165 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
EBITDA | | $ | 829 | | | $ | 225 | | | $ | 1,559 | | | $ | 508 | |

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not historical fact and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and constitute “forward-looking information” as defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively “forward-looking statements”). These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, our strategy for growth, business development, market and competitive position, financial results, expected revenue, expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of our existing assets to fund future operations and capital spending needs. These statements relate to our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions and strategies regarding the future, and may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” and “potential,” among others. Specifically this document contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the continuance of seasonal fluctuations in the Company’s sales, inventories, receivables, payables and cash; the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations; the sufficiency of funds available to meet operational needs; and our expectations for fiscal 2010 in respect of our gross profit margin and operating expenses.
The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect management’s current beliefs and expectations and are based on information currently available to management, as well as its analysis made in light of its experience, perception of trends, current conditions, expected developments and other factors and assumptions believed to be reasonable and relevant in the circumstances. These assumptions include, but are not limited to: continuing demand by consumers for videogames and accessories, continued financial viability of our largest customers, continued access to capital to finance our working capital requirements and the continuance of open trade with China, where the preponderance of our products are manufactured.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to important factors and events that could cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q, and from those that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements for the reasons detailed in Part I — Item 1A. — Risk Factors of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in Part II Other Information — Item 1A. We believe that many of the risks detailed in our other SEC filings are part of doing business in the industry in which we operate, and will likely be present in all periods reported. The fact that certain risks are endemic to the industry does not lessen their significance. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update them or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in such forward-looking statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, our management with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2009. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although we believe we have remediated the 2008 material weakness, in 2009 we identified significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting related to (1) our reviews over sales reserve estimates and (2) information technology general controls, and we will continue to implement further measures to remediate these deficiencies in fiscal 2010 and further improve our internal controls.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than the steps taken by us to remediate the significant deficiencies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, relating to our sales reserve estimation process and our information technology general controls.
