PLAYLOGIC ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (PEI) was incorporated on May 25, 2001 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware as Donar Enterprises, Inc.
PEI’s initial business plan was to provide the conversion and filing of various documents prepared in accordance with either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for small to mid-sized public companies with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) electronically through EDGAR, the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. The Company has never been affiliated with the SEC in any manner.
On February 27, 2002, PEI’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (SEC File No. 333-68702), registering 2,000,000 pre-reverse split shares to be sold at a price of $0.05 per share, was declared effective. Between July and December 2002, PEI sold an aggregate 656,000 pre-reverse split shares of stock under this Registration Statement.
In June 2004 and December 2004, respectively, PEI experienced separate changes in control and abandoned its business plan related to providing electronic filing services for small to mid-sized public companies and began a search to seek a suitable reverse acquisition candidate through acquisition, merger or other suitable business combination method.
On June 30, 2005, pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) by and among PEI and Playlogic International NV, a corporation formed under the laws of The Netherlands (Playlogic NV), and the shareholders of Playlogic NV (Playlogic NV Shareholders); the Playlogic NV Shareholders exchanged 100.0% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and preferred shares of Playlogic NV for an aggregate 21,836,930 shares of PEI’s common stock. As a result of this transaction, Playlogic NV became PEI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, now represents all of PEI’s commercial operations, and the Playlogic NV Shareholders control approximately 91.0% of the outstanding common stock of PEI, post-transaction.
Playlogic International NV was incorporated in the Netherlands in April 2002. Playlogic publishes interactive entertainment products, such as video game software and other digital entertainment products such as video games for video game consoles, personal computers (PCs) and other handheld and mobile electronic devices developed by its internal studio and by third parties.
In subsequent notes, the consolidated entity is referred to as “Company”.
NOTE B — PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The acquisition of Playlogic International N. V. on June 30, 2005, by Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Donar Enterprises, Inc.) effected a change in control and was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” whereby Playlogic International N. V. is the accounting acquiror for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to the June 30, 2005 “reverse acquisition” transaction, the historical financial statements of the Company reflect the financial statements of Playlogic International N. V. since it’s inception and the operations of Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Donar Enterprises, Inc.) subsequent to June 30, 2005.
The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has a year-end of December 31.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented
During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual audited financial statements filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission on its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. The information presented within these interim financial statements may not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and the users of financial information provided for interim periods should refer to the annual financial information and footnotes when reviewing the interim financial results presented herein.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements, prepared in accordance with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions for Form 10-QSB, are unaudited and contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective interim
5
periods presented. The current period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
For segment reporting purposes, the Company operated in only one industry segment during the periods represented in the accompanying financial statements and makes all operating decisions and allocates resources based on the best benefit to the Company as a whole.
These financial statements reflect the books and records of Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Donar Enterprises, Inc.), Playlogic International N.V. (a corporation domiciled in The Netherlands) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Playlogic Game Factory B.V. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in combination. The consolidated entities are referred to as Company.
NOTE C — GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The Company is a global publisher of interactive software games designed for personal computers, and video game consoles and handheld platforms manufactured by Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Its principal sources of revenue are derived from publishing and distribution operations. Publishing revenues are derived from the sale of internally developed software titles or software titles developed by third parties. Operating margins in its publishing business are dependent upon its ability to continually release new, commercially successful products. Operating margins for titles based on licensed properties are affected by the company’s costs to acquire licenses. The company pursues a growth strategy by capitalizing on the widespread market acceptance of video game consoles, as well as the growing popularity of innovative action games that appeal to mature audiences.
The Company’s Playlogic International N.V. subsidiary commenced operations in April 2002 and have recognized consolidated net operating losses of approximately€5,170,464 ($6,445,397) in 2005, approximately€16,193,241 ($20,162,853) in 2004, approximately€6,091,914 ( $6,900,433) in 2003 and approximately€2,096,983 ($2,199,924) in 2002. Although management expects to achieve profitable operations in the future, the Company may never achieve profitability. Additionally, if the Company does achieve profitability, it may not be able to maintain profitability on a consistent basis. Accordingly, our auditor has included an explanatory paragraph indicating that substantial doubt exists about Playlogic International’s ability to continue as a going concern.
While the Company has contracts in place with several third-party developers and is developing titles through it’s Playlogic Game Factory B.V. subsidiary, and anticipates successful debuts of such titles; the market for interactive entertainment software is characterized by short product lifecycles and frequent introduction of new products. Many software titles do not achieve sustained market acceptance or do not generate a sufficient level of sales to offset the costs associated with product development. A significant percentage of the sales of new titles generally occur within the first three months following their release. Therefore, our profitability depends upon our ability to develop and sell new, commercially successful titles and to replace revenues from titles in the later stages of their lifecycles. Any competitive, financial, technological or other factor which delays or impairs our ability to introduce and sell our software could adversely affect our future operating results.
The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis.
The Company anticipates future sales of equity securities to raise working capital to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
If no additional operating capital is received during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on existing cash in the bank and upon additional funds loaned by management and/or significant stockholders to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity at this time. In the event, the Company is unable to acquire advances from management and/or significant stockholders, the Company’s ongoing operations would be negatively impacted to the point that all operating activities are ceased.
While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach our goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps.
NOTE D — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. | | Currency translation |
|
| | The Company incurs expenses in both US Dollar and Euro transaction accounts. The Euro is the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries domiciled in The Netherlands. All transactions reflected in the accompanying financial statements have been converted into US Dollar equivalents. |
|
| | For balance sheet purposes, at the end of any accounting cycle, the exchange rate at the balance sheet is used for all assets and liabilities. The utilized conversion rates are: |
6
| | | | |
June 30, 2006 | | $ | 1.27130 | |
December 31, 2005: | | $ | 1.18290 | |
June 30, 2005 | | $ | 1.20660 | |
December 31, 2004: | | $ | 1.36550 | |
1. | | Currency translation — continued |
|
| | For revenues, expenses, gains and losses during a respective reporting period, an weighted average exchange rate for the respective reporting period is used to translate those elements. The Company’s management considers the Euro to be a stable currency. Accordingly, the Company calculates the weighted average exchange rate using the first day of the period being converted, the 15th of each respective month and the last day of each respective month in the reporting period. The exchange rates used for all revenues, expenses, gains and losses during the year-to-date periods ended, as noted, are: |
| | | | |
June 30, 2006 | | $ | 1.22889 | |
December 31, 2005: | | $ | 1.24658 | |
June 30, 2005 | | $ | 1.28617 | |
December 31, 2004: | | $ | 1.24514 | |
2. | | Cash and cash equivalents |
|
| | The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. |
|
| | Cash overdrafts may occur from time-to-time depending upon management’s cash management policies. |
3. | | Accounts receivable — trade |
|
| | The Company’s current customers are located principally within Europe; however, the Company anticipates having customers throughout the world in future periods. The Company typically makes sales to distributors on unsecured credit, with terms that vary depending upon the customer’s credit history, solvency, credit limits and sales history. From time to time, distributors and retailers in the interactive entertainment software industry have experienced significant fluctuations in their business operations and a number of them have failed. The insolvency or business failure of any significant Company customer could have a material negative impact on the Company’s business and financial results. |
|
| | Because of the credit risk involved, management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its opinion of amounts which will eventually become uncollectible. |
|
| | In the event of complete non-performance, the maximum exposure to the Company is the recorded amount of trade accounts receivable shown on the balance sheet at the date of non-performance. |
4. | | Property and equipment |
|
| | Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis, over the estimated useful lives (generally 3 to 10 years) of the respective asset. Major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to expense as incurred. |
|
5. | | Software development costs |
7
| | Capitalized software development costs include payments made in the form of milestone payments to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products. The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 — “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable against future revenues. The Company also capitalizes internal software development costs and other content costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a title. Amortization of such costs as a component of cost of sales is recorded on a title-by-title basis based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to the total of current and estimated future sales for the title or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the title. At each balance sheet date, the company evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs based on undiscounted future cash flows and charges to operations any amounts that are deemed unrecoverable. |
|
| | The Company’s agreements with third-party developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing and distribution rights and require it to make advance payments that are recouped against royalties due to the developer based on the contractual amounts of product sales, adjusted for certain costs. |
|
6. | | Prepaid royalties |
|
| | The Company capitalizes external software development costs (prepaid royalties) and other content costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a title. Advance payments are amortized as royalties in cost of sales on a title-by-title basis based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to the total of current and estimated future sales for that title or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales as defined in the respective agreements. At each balance sheet date, the company evaluates the recoverability of advanced development payments and unrecognized minimum commitments not yet paid to determine the amounts unlikely to be realized through product sales. Advance payments are charged to cost of sales in the amount that management determines is unrecoverable in the period in which such determination is made or if management determines that it will cancel a development project. |
|
7. | | Organization and reorganization costs |
|
| | The Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities” whereby all organizational and initial costs incurred with the incorporation and initial capitalization of the Company were charged to operations as incurred. |
|
8. | | Research and development expenses |
|
| | Research and development expenses include the direct costs related to software and game development which are incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility of a specific game title or product. These costs are charged to operations as incurred. |
|
9. | | Advertising expenses |
|
| | The Company does not utilize direct solicitation advertising. All other advertising and marketing expenses are charged to operations as incurred. |
|
10. | | Income Taxes |
|
| | The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary differences generally represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily accumulated depreciation and amortization and the anticipated utilization of net operating loss carry forwards to offset current taxable income. |
|
11. | | Share-Based Payments |
|
| | The Company utilizes the fair-value method of accounting for the payment for goods and/or services with the issuance of equity shares in lieu of cash. |
|
12. | | Earnings (loss) per share |
|
| | Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements. |
|
| | Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants). |
|
| | Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation date. |
|
| | As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants are considered anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net operating loss position. |
8
13. | | Revenue recognition |
|
| | The Company evaluates the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” and U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, as revised by SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition”. The Company evaluates revenue recognition using the following basic criteria: |
* Evidence of an arrangement: The Company recognizes revenue when it has evidence of an agreement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions to deliver products.
* Delivery: Delivery is considered to occur when the products are shipped and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer.
* Fixed or determinable fee: If a portion of the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, the Company recognizes that amount as revenue when the amount becomes fixed or determinable.
* Collection is deemed probable: At the time of the transaction, the Company conducts a credit review of each customer involved in a significant transaction to determine the creditworthiness of the customer. Collection is deemed probable if the Company expects the customer to be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as those amounts become due. If the Company determines that collection is not probable, it recognizes revenue when collection becomes probable (generally upon cash collection).
The Company defers revenues on sales which do not confirm to the above listed criteria until such time that the billed amount is either paid or any attached right-of-return expires/terminates
14. | | New accounting pronouncements |
|
| | In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The initial application of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |
|
| | In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ which revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’. This statement supersedes Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’ The revised statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and other third parties, eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and requires that the compensation costs relating to such transactions be recognized in the statement of operations. The revised statement has been implemented by the Company effective January 1, 2006. |
|
| | Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 123R utilizing the modified prospective method. FAS No. 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the financial statements. Under the modified prospective method, the provisions of FAS No. 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of FAS 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Based Compensation’’, shall be recognized in net earnings in the periods after the date of adoption. Stock based compensation consists primarily of stock options. Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant. Stock options generally vest over four years. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the period for each separately vesting portion of the stock option award. |
|
| | The fair value for options issued prior to January 1, 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. |
|
| | In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” This statement’s amendments are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, SFAS 153 eliminates the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements. |
|
| | In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations"(“FIN 47”), which is an interpretation of SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 clarifies terminology within SFAS 143 and requires an entry to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements. |
|
| | In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which will require entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retroactively to prior periods’ financial statements unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB No. 20”), which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” |
9
| | of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Another significant change in practice under SFAS No. 154 will be that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are not expected to affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
NOTE E — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.
Financial risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.
NOTE F — CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its United States and Netherlands based cash accounts in financial institutions subject to certain governmental administered insurance coverage programs. The United States based accounts are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Under FDIC rules, the Company is entitled to aggregate coverage of $100,000 per account type per separate legal entity per financial institution. Through June 30, 2006, and subsequent thereto, the Company maintained deposits in a United States financial institution and incurred no losses as a result of any unsecured bank balance through June 30, 2006 or subsequent thereto.
The Company is exposed to currency risks. The Company is particularly exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro, as it incurs manufacturing costs and prices its products in the Euro (the Company’s operating subsidiary’s functional currency) while a portion of its revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars. A substantial portion of the company’s assets, liabilities and operating results are denominated in Euros, and a minor portion of its assets, liabilities and operating results are denominated in currencies other than the Euro. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in US Dollars. Accordingly, its results of operations are exposed to fluctuations in various exchange rates. As of the applicable balance sheet dates, the exposure was very limited, hence, no hedging activities were deemed necessary by management. In the Company’s exchange rate agreements, it uses fixed interest rates.

In prior periods, the Company has advanced an aggregate $495,743 to Engine Software, an entity in which the Company held an approximate 47.5% equity interest, for software development. Effective December 31, 2005, the Company sold this interest to the management team of Engine Software and reclassified the advanced royalty payments to “capitalized software development costs”. As of January 1, 2006, the relationship with Engine Software is solely as an external software developer.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $400,000 to offset future for United States taxable income and approximately $25,400,000 to offset future Netherlands taxes. Subject to current United States regulations, the approximate $400,000 carry forward will begin to expire in 2020. The amount and availability of the net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitations set forth by the Internal Revenue Code and the Dutch Government. Factors such as the number of shares ultimately issued within a three year look-back period; whether there is a deemed more than 50 percent change in control; the applicable long-term tax exempt bond rate; continuity of historical business; and subsequent income of the Company all enter into the annual computation of allowable annual utilization of the United States carry forwards.
The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, differed from the statutory rate of 34% as noted below:

NOTE M — COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
On February 21, 2005, by written consent in lieu of meeting, stockholders representing 78.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock approved a recommendation of our Board of Directors to effect a one share for ten shares reverse stock split of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, with all fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. The reverse split became effective on April 15, 2005. As a result of the reverse split, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock decreased from 9,289,647 shares to 928,964 shares, after giving effect to rounding for fractional shares. In the reverse split calculation, all fractional shares were rounded down to the nearest whole share. Holders of less than ten shares, prior to the reverse split, shall receive $0.30 per share as compensation. The effect of this action is reflected in the Company’s financial statements as of the first day of the first period.
On June 30, 2005, pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) by and among the Company and Playlogic International N.V., a corporation formed under the laws of The Netherlands (Playlogic), and the shareholders of Playlogic (Playlogic Shareholders); the Playlogic Shareholders exchanged 100.0% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and preferred shares of Playlogic for an aggregate 21,836,924 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of this transaction, Playlogic became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, now represents all of the Company’s commercial operations, and the Playlogic Shareholders control approximately 91.0% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, post-transaction.
In conjunction with the above discussed reverse stock split, all share references in the following paragraphs reflect the April 15, 2005 reverse split action.
On March 10, 2004, the Company issued 32,080 shares of restricted, unregistered common stock to Michael Tay, son of then-President and controlling shareholder, William Tay, as compensation for various services provided to the Company. This transaction was valued at approximately $16,040 (or $0.50 per reverse split share). The Company relied upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for this transaction.
On April 22, 2004, the Company issued an aggregate 184,618 shares of common stock to William Tay as consideration of approximately $85,000 in accrued, but unpaid, officer compensation, reimbursement of trade accounts payable paid by Mr. Tay on behalf of the Company and in repayment of approximately $7,000 in unsecured advances made to the Company for working capital. The Company relied upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for this transaction.

On June 1, 2005, the Company sold 100,000 shares of common stock to Timothy P. Halter, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Director for gross proceeds of approximately $60,000, or $0.60 per share, pursuant to the exercise of a warrant granted on December 15, 2004 as consideration for an agreement for Mr. Halter agreeing to serve as an officer and director of the Company. This transaction was valued at less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the transaction and resulted in a charge to operations of approximately $90,000.
On June 28, 2005, the Company sold 162,100 shares of its common stock to Johannes Wilhelmus Kluijtmans for aggregate consideration of $608,000, or approximately $3.75 per share.

The sale was made without registration in reliance upon the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares are “restricted securities” in the sense that they are marked with a legend with reference to Rule 144. The Company never utilized an underwriter for this offering of its securities and no sales commissions were paid to any third party in connection with the above-referenced sale.
On July 5, 2005, the Company sold 36,000 shares of its common stock to C. J. W. A. Komen for total consideration of $135,000, or approximately $3.75 per share. The sale was made pursuant to the terms of a Subscription Agreement, dated as of July 5, 2005, which agreement contained confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and covenants. This transaction was valued at less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the transaction and resulted in a charge to operations of approximately $63,000. The sale was made without registration in reliance upon the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares are “restricted securities” in the sense that they are marked with a legend with reference to Rule 144. The Company never utilized an underwriter for this offering of its securities and no sales commissions were paid to any third party in connection with the above-referenced sale.

The weighted average exercise price of all issued and outstanding warrants at June 30, 2006 is approximately $5.00.
For purposes of computing the imputed fair value of each warrant issued is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the three months ended June 30, 2006: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 61.2 (based on the volatility of the Company’s peer group); a risk-free interest rate of approximately 4.50%, and an expected life of three years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options and warrants, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded warrants, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its warrants.

The weighted average exercise price of all issued and outstanding options at June 30, 2006 is approximately $3.33.
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123) and charges the intrinsic value of granted stock options to expense as of each respective grant date. Accordingly, in the first 6 months of 2006 approximately $134,106 has been charged to operations for the intrinsic value of granted stock options.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ which revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’. This statement supersedes Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’ The revised statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and other third parties, eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and requires that the compensation costs relating to such transactions be recognized in the statement of operations. The revised statement has been implemented by the Company effective January 1, 2006.
The implementation of FAS No. 123R has the following effect on the statement of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006:
| | | | |
| | Six Months | |
| | Ended | |
(in thousands, except per share amounts) | | June 30, 2006 | |
Net loss before stock option expense | | $ | (3,831,285 | ) |
Less stock option expense | | | (134,000 | ) |
| | | |
Net loss as reported | | $ | (3,965,285 | ) |
| | | |
There is no impact on the basic or diluted earning per share reported on the statement of operations. For the 2005 fiscal year the Company accounted for its employee incentive stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’ Had the Company determined compensation expenses based on the fair value at the grant dates for those awards consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Company’s net (loss) per share would not have changed since no options were granted in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2006 | | June 30, 2005 |
Risk free annual interest rate | | | 4.50 | % | | n/a |
Expected volatility | | | 61 | % | | n/a |
Expected life | | 3 years | | | n/a |
Assumed dividends | | None | | | n/a |
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 123R utilizing the modified prospective method. FAS No. 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the financial statements.
Under the modified prospective method, the provisions of FAS No. 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of FAS 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Based Compensation’’, shall be recognized in net earnings in the periods after the date of adoption. Stock based compensation consists primarily of stock options. Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant. Stock options generally vest over three years. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the period for each separately vesting portion of the stock option award.
16
The fair value for options issued prior to January 1, 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model..
As of June, 2006, there was approximately $1,100,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.5 years.
For purposes of computing the charge to operations required by SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option granted to employees and directors is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2005: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 61,2% (based upon the actual volatility of the Company’s peer group), a risk-free interest rate of approximately 4.5%, and an expected life of three (3) years.
[Update from WK ] The weighted-average fair value of options covering approximately 150,000 shares of common stock granted during the Q2, 2006 for which the exercise price was equal to the market price on the grant date was $1.29 and the weighted-average exercise price was $2.90.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Options to be granted during the first year of this agreement will consist of a minimum of 100,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Morel is also subject to confidentiality, non-competition and invention assignment requirements.
On October 1, 2005, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Jan Willem Kohne our Chief Financial Officer. This agreement is for an indefinite period, but can be terminated by the Company upon six (6) months notice or by Mr. Kohne upon three (3) months notice. Mr. Kohne’s starting salary will be approximately $15,055 (€11,034) per month, and the Company paid a signing bonus of approximately $48,480 (€40,000) upon execution of this agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Kohne was granted 250,000 options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. These options vest in increments of 62,500 shares on each of the
18
agreement anniversary dates, starting on October 1, 2007. Mr. Kohne is also subject to confidentiality, non-competition and invention assignment requirements.
In addition to the above detailed discussions, the Company has approximately 50 other employees which are based in the Netherlands and have executed employment agreements with the Company pursuant to the Law of the Netherlands. Substantially all of these employment contracts run for an indefinite period of time. As to these non executive employees, the Company may terminate the employment upon a two-month notice, and the employee may terminate the employment upon a one-month notice. The Company is obliged to continue to pay the stated base salary and fringe benefits to our employees during the notice period. The Company typically pays an annual base salary and allow our staff certain benefits. Our employees are entitled to 26 vacation days a year and approximately 23 of our employees are entitled to a company car. Two of our senior non-Dutch executives are entitled to receive allowances for housing, and home leave travel cost.
Further, under Dutch law, the Company is obligated to any employee, in the event of illness, 100% of his base salary from the first day of illness reporting for a maximum period of 52 weeks, calculated from this first day of illness. After the lapse of the period of 52 weeks, the Company is obligated to pay 70% of the base pay during a period with a maximum of 52 weeks counted from the first day of the 53rd week following the date of illness reporting. We currently do not have any pension plan or other retirement schedule. The cost associated with employers contribution to the Dutch social security system are per employee in the range of 15% of annual base pay.
In the event of the termination of all employees, the Company will pay all non-senior executive personnel, on average, the required two month notice amounts and the six (6) senior executives the six month notice amounts plus the requisite Netherlands social security payments for an estimated total of approximately€900,000 (or approximately $1,065,000).
Software development contracts
The Company has entered into six (6) separate software development contracts with unrelated entities. These contracts require periodic payments of agreed-upon amounts upon the achievement of certain developmental milestones, as defined in each individual contract. All of these contracts have completion deadlines of less than one (1) year from the contract execution and will require an aggregate funding liability of approximately $4,218,670 through completion.
Litigation
On December 15, 2005, Playlogic International N.V. (plaintiff) filed a motion to institute proceedings against Digital Concepts DC Studios Inc. Montreal (defendant) and South Peak Interactive LLC North Carolina (defendant) with the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec District of Montreal Canada. Playlogic claims damages in the amount of Canadian $9,262,640 in view of the alleged unlawful termination by DC Studios of a Letter of Intent under which DC Studios granted us exclusive worldwide publishing rights of State of Emergency 2, a title that was released in the first half of 2006. We sued South Peak in these proceedings as the second defendant because South Peak, in violation of a clear letter of demand issued by us to them, has entered into a publishing agreement with DC Studios with respect to the State of Emergency 2. The Company is currently in discussion with parties involved to arrive at a settlement out of court.
The Company received termination notices from Rebellion Interactive Ltd and from Rival Technologies LLC for the PRISM development and license. Currently the Company is in discussion with both parties to agree on new terms for the development and license of PRISM.
The Company is currently in discussion with TDK Recording Media Europe S.A. on the effects of delayed delivery of Goldmaster discs and the subsequent delayed releases on the market of World Racing 2, Knights of the Temple II and Gene Troopers.
The Company is involved in a number of minor legal actions incidental to its ordinary course of business.
With respect to the above matters, the Company believes that it has adequate legal claims or defenses and/or provided adequate accruals for related costs such that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position or results of operations.

Our Business
Playlogic is a publisher of interactive entertainment products, such as video game software and other digital entertainment products. We publish for most major interactive entertainment hardware platforms, like Sony’s PlayStation2, Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s Game Cube, PCs, next generation consoles and handheld (such as Nintendo’s Game Boy, Nintendo DS, and PSP) and mobile devices.
Our principal sources of revenue are derived from publishing operations. Publishing revenues are derived from the sale of our digital entertainment products. We own most of the intellectual properties of our products, which we believe positions us to maximize profitability.
As a publisher, we are responsible for publishing, sales and marketing of our products. We sell our products to distributors, who sell to retail. Furthermore, we sell directly to consumers through online distribution channels, at least two months after the product was made available at retail.
We seek to publish high quality products developed both by our in-house studio in Breda, The Netherlands, called Playlogic Game Factory, and by external developers with whom we have contractual relationships.
Those other independent studios — based in various countries — develop games for Playlogic under development contracts. These development contracts generally provide that we pay the studio an upfront payment, which is an advance on future royalties earned and a payment upon achievement of various milestones. In addition, we license the rights of existing titles to other studios who then develop those titles for other platforms.
Different studios and developers frequently contact us requesting financing and publishing their games. We evaluate each of these offers based on several factors, including sales potential (primarily based on past performance by the studio or developer), technology used, track record and human resources of the studio, game play, graphics and sounds.
We select which games we develop, based on our analysis of consumer trends and behavior and our experience with similar or competitive products. Once we select a game to develop, we then assign a development studio, based upon its qualifications, previous experience and prior performance. Once developed, we distribute our games in both the U.S. and abroad through existing distribution channels with experienced distributors.
20
We generally aim to release our titles simultaneously across a range of hardware formats in order to spread development risks and increase sales potential, with a minimum increase in development time and resources distributors. We generally aim to release our titles simultaneously across a range of hardware formats in order to spread development risks and increase sales potential, with a minimum increase in development time and resources.
We believe that greater online functionality and the expanded artificial intelligence capabilities of the new platforms will improve game play and help our industry grow. In addition, according to DFC Intelligence new revenue opportunities from wireless gaming, online console gaming, and in-game advertising are expected to grow from $1 billion in 2005 to $5 billion in 2009.

In case of Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales new release date planned for beginning of September is determined in close cooperation with the global distributor of the game, Atari to maximise marketing efforts.
For Xyanide Resurrection, StateShift Racing and Wizard of Funk and PRISM additional development time and efforts are needed to reach our quality standards and revenues. Release dates for Wizard of Funk and StateShift Racing are under evaluation. Company is presently discussing new terms for development and license of PRISM.
Currently Playlogic is mainly focussing on PC titles. Some major publishers have posted higher losses than the previous year recently. These losses are primarily caused by their high investments in games for the next generation consoles. Playlogic has intentionally focussed on publishing PC titles during the transition period, since the installed base of the Xbox 360 is too low for Playlogic to make sufficient return on investments. Playlogic intends to start publishing for the next gen consoles in the second half of 2007.
21
Management’s Overview of Historical and Prospective Business Trends
Increased Console Installed Base.As consumers purchase the current generation of consoles, either as first time buyers or by upgrading from a previous generation, the console installed base increases. As the installed base for a particular console increases, we believe we will generally be able to increase our unit volume. However, since Microsoft introduced its Xbox 360 in November 2005 and because consumers anticipate the next generation of consoles of Sony and Nintendo (most likely fourth quarter of 2006), unit volumes often decrease. In response to the current business environment during the industry transition and our assessment of market conditions, we have been focusing on PC games in the past year, while PC and handheld titles will form a substantial part of the line-up for the coming six to twelve months. PC games are less expensive to develop, easier to get on the shelves or retailers and will benefit from online distribution channels.
We believe that the market for interactive entertainment software will expand over the next several years as a result of the introduction of the next generation console platforms. Therefore, as of approximately the second half of 2007, we will shift our focus away from PC and start publishing next generation titles.
Software Prices.As current generation console prices decrease, we expect more value-oriented consumers to become part of the interactive entertainment software market. We believe that hit titles will continue to be launched at premium price points and will maintain those premium price points longer than less popular games. However, as a result of a more value-oriented consumer base, and a greater number of software titles being published, we expect average software prices to gradually come down, which we expect to negatively impact our gross margin. To offset this, as the installed base increases, total volume of software sales are expected to increase, compensating for the lower margins on software sales.
Increasing Cost of Titles.Hit titles have become increasingly more expensive to produce and market as the platforms on which they are played continue to advance technologically and consumers demand continual improvements in the overall game play experience. We expect this trend to continue as we require larger production teams to create our titles, the technology needed to develop titles becomes more complex, we continue to develop and expand the online gaming capabilities included in our products and we develop new methods to distribute our content via the Internet. Any increase in the cost of licensing third-party intellectual property used in our products would also make these products more expensive to publish.
Uncertainties and OtherRiskFactors that May Affect our Future Results and Financial Condition
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and any updates in the subsequent quarterly report, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risk factor below was disclosed on the Form 10-KSB and has been updated in connection with this Form 10-QSB filing.
We are dependent on financing by third parties, and if we are not able to obtain the necessary financing for our operations, our business will be significantly harmed, and we may need to cease operations.
The Company’s management believes that in order to satisfy its working capital requirements through the third quarter of 2006, it will need to obtain additional financing from third parties. If the Company does not obtain any necessary financing in the future, we may need to cease operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to us to allow us to cover the expenses related to such activities.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from a limited number of titles. If we fail to develop new, commercially successful titles, our business may be harmed. Our future titles may not be commercially viable. We also may not be able to release new titles within scheduled release times or at all. If we fail to continue to develop and sell new, commercially successful titles, our revenues and profits may decrease substantially and we may incur losses.
22
In addition, in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006, the Company received termination notices from Rebellion Interactive Ltd and Rival Technologies LLC for development and license of PRISM. Currently the Company is in discussion with both parties to agree on new terms for the development and license of PRISM. The Company is also in discussion with TDK Recording Media Europe S.A. on the effects of a delayed delivery of Goldmaster discs and the subsequent delayed releases on the market of World Racing 2, Knights of the Temple II and Gene Troopers both in Europe and North America.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Regulation S-B. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in this prospectus.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the recoverability of prepaid royalties, capitalized software development costs and intangibles, inventories, realization of deferred income taxes and the adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
Accountsreceivable
Accounts receivable are shown after deduction of a provision for bad and doubtful debts where appropriate.
Software Development Costs
Capitalized software development costs include payments made in the form of milestone payments to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products. We account for software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable.
We utilize both internal development teams and third-party software developers to develop our products.
We capitalize internal software development costs and other content costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a title. Amortization of such costs as a component of cost of sales is recorded on a title-by-title basis based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to the total of current and estimated future sales for the title or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the title. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate the recoverability of capitalized software costs based on undiscounted future cash flows and charge to cost of sales any amounts that are deemed unrecoverable. Our agreements with third-party developers generally provide us with the intellectual property rights and exclusive publishing and distribution rights and require us to make advance payments that are recouped against royalties due to the developer based on the contractual amounts of product sales, adjusted for certain costs.
23
We capitalize external software development costs (prepaid royalties) and other content costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a title.
Advance payments are amortized as royalties in cost of sales on a title-by-title basis based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to the total of current and estimated future sales for that title or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales as defined in the respective agreements. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate the recoverability of advanced development payments and unrecognized minimum commitments not yet paid to determine the amounts unlikely to be realized through product sales. Advance payments are charged to cost of sales in the amount that management determines is unrecoverable in the period in which such determination is made or if management determines that it will cancel a development project.
RevenueRecognition
We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, as revised by SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition”. We evaluate revenue recognition using the following basic criteria:
| • | | Evidence of an arrangement: We recognize revenue when we have evidence of an agreement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions to deliver products. |
|
| • | | Delivery: Delivery is considered to occur when the products are shipped and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer. |
|
| • | | Fixed or determinable fee: If a portion of the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, we recognize that amount as revenue when the amount becomes fixed or determinable. |
|
| • | | Collection is deemed probable: At the time of the transaction, we conduct a credit review of each customer involved in a significant transaction to determine the creditworthiness of the customer. |
|
| • | | Collection is deemed probable if we expect the customer to be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as those amounts become due. If we determine that collection is not probable, we recognize revenue when collection becomes probable (generally upon cash collection). |
Product Revenue
Product revenue, including sales to resellers and distributors, is recognized when the above criteria are met. We reduce product revenue for estimated customer returns by distributing our products through experienced distributors with whom we had previously worked.
New AccountingPronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The initial application of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ which revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’. This statement supersedes Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’
24
The revised statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and other third parties, eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and requires that the compensation costs relating to such transactions be recognized in the statement of operations. The revised statement has been implemented by the Company effective January 1, 2006.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 123R utilizing the modified prospective method. FAS No. 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the financial statements. Under the modified prospective method, the provisions of FAS No. 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of FAS 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Based Compensation’’, shall be recognized in net earnings in the periods after the date of adoption. Stock based compensation consists primarily of stock options. Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant. Stock options generally vest over three years. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the period for each separately vesting portion of the stock option award.
The fair value for options issued prior to January 1, 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” This statement’s amendments are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, SFAS 153 eliminates the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”), which is an interpretation of SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 clarifies terminology within SFAS 143 and requires an entry to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which will require entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retroactively to prior periods’ financial statements unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB No. 20”), which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Another significant change in practice under SFAS No. 154 will be that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are not expected to affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
Three and SixMonthsEnded June 30, 2006 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005.
Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $413,061 as compared to $204,421 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This represents an increase of $208,640 or 102%. A significant part of the revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was derived from a third party development contract between Playlogic and Sony. Compared to the first quarter $2,719,610, the second quarter revenues were $2,306,549 lower. Major reason was that no new products were released in the current quarter.
25
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $3,132,671 as compared to $736,559 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The major part of the increase of $2,396,112 (325%) is derived from the first quarter revenues related to three new games released at the end of 2005 in Europe.
Gross Profit. Gross profit totaled $246,773 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, gross profit totaled $187,729. This represents an increase of $59,044 or 31% and is related to increase in revenues. The gross margin decreased from 92% to 60% because revenue in 2005 was related to a license deal whereby the software development costs had been fully depreciated already.
Gross profit totaled $1,204,758 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, gross profit totaled $596,790. This represents an increase of $607,968 or 102% and this increase was caused by the increase in revenues. The gross margin decreased from 81% to 38% for the above reason and because the first quarter revenues were related to a co-publishing deal with lower margin.
Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,837,958 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,144,053. This represents an increase of $693,904 or 61%. This increase in selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses is in line with the growth of the company, the current line-up and related cost of personnel. In the second quarter Selling and marketing has increased compared to the first quarter, due to the costs of the E3 tradeshow.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $3,529,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,800,952. This represents an increase of $1,728,697 or 96%. This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is in line with the growth of the company, the current line-up and related cost of personnel. Next to that in 2006 company had additional costs related to the OTC BB listing.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses totaled $1,281,418 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, research and development totaled $123,668. This represents an increase of $1,157,750. This increase is due to the fact that a lower portion of our research and development expenses was capitalized. Additional capitalization has not been considered given our estimated conservative prognoses for recoverability.
Research and development expenses totaled $1,625,110 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, research and development totaled $485,937. This represents an increase of $1,139,173 or 234%. This increase is due to the above mentioned reasons.
Depreciation. Depreciation expenses totaled $75,866 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the depreciation expense totaled $100,901. The decrease of $25,041or 25% was caused by fixed assets being fully depreciated that were not yet replaced.
Depreciation expenses totaled $154,364 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the depreciation expense totaled $204,968. The decrease of $50,604 (25%) was caused by the above mentioned reason.
Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $95,260 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, interest expense totaled $94,445. In the three months ended June 30, 2006 this amount was related to the bank overdraft and several short term loans.
Interest expense totaled $172,087 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, interest expense totaled $197,775. This represents a decrease of $25,688 or 13%. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 this amount was related to the bank overdraft facility and several short term loans.
26
Net Loss. Our net loss was $2,767,780 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, net loss totaled $999,448. The increase of the net loss ($1,768,331 or 177%) is related to the individual factors discussed above.
Our net loss was $3,965,285 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net loss totaled $1,559,438. This represents an increase of $2,405,847 or 154%. The increase of the net loss is related to the individual factors discussed above.
Other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income represents the change of the Currency Translation Adjustments balance during the reporting period. The Currency Translation Adjustments balance that appears in the stockholders’ equity section is cumulative in nature and is a consequence from translating all assets and liabilities at current rate whereas the stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the appropriate historical rate and revenues and expenses being translated at the weighted-average rate for the reporting period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
June 30,2006
As of June 30, 2006, we had $151,593 of cash on hand.
In order to cover its working capital requirements through the third quarter of 2006, the Company needs to obtain additional financing from third parties. The cash flow from operating activities could not be sufficient to cover the existing commitments and the development costs for both externally and internally developed games.
Until date the company has been financed mainly by common stock subscriptions of capital to informal investors. The Company is looking for a capital raise with institutional investors and is currently in negotiation with several professional parties in that respect. In the meantime the company is looking for funding via loans and additional common stock subscriptions.
If the Company does not obtain the necessary financing in future periods to support day-to-day operations, as well as satisfy our existing commitments; we may need to significant curtail or, at worst, cease operations.
We expect our capital requirements to increase over the next several years as we continue to increase our line-up and develop new products both internally and through our third-party developers, increase marketing and administration infrastructure, and embark on in-house business capabilities and facilities. Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the cash generation from the released games, the cost of hiring and training production personnel who will produce our titles, the cost of hiring and training additional sales and marketing personnel to promote our products, and the cost of hiring and training administrative staff to support current management.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On December 15, 2005, Playlogic International N.V. (plaintiff) filed a motion to institute proceedings against Digital Concepts DC Studios Inc. Montreal (defendant) and South Peak Interactive LLC North Carolina (defendant) with the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec District of Montreal Canada. Playlogic claims damages in the amount of Canadian $9,262,640 in view of the alleged unlawful termination by DC Studios of a Letter of Intent under which DC Studios granted us exclusive worldwide publishing rights of State of Emergency 2, a title to be released in first half of 2006. We sued South Peak in these proceedings as the second defendant because South Peak, in violation of a clear letter of demand issued by us to them, has entered into a publishing agreement with DC Studios with respect to the State of Emergency 2. The Company is currently in discussion with parties involved to reach a settlement out of court.
The Company is involved in a number of minor legal actions incidental to its ordinary course of business.
With respect to the above matters, the Company believes that it has adequate legal claims or defences and/or provided adequate accruals for related costs such that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position or results of operations.
