EXPLANATORY NOTE
RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-QSB/A amends and restates the items identified below with respect to the quarterly report on Form 10-QSB filed by Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (“we” or “the Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 21, 2006 (the “Original Fling”) for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006.
Restatements
The quarterly report on Form 10-QSB was filed by the Company with the SEC on November 21, 2006, without auditors’ review. Following completion of the auditors’ review, the Company is filing this amendment Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006. This amendment includes (i) certain restatements to the Company’s financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 described below and (ii) enhanced disclosure, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 154, relative to restatement of prior periods. The September 30, 2006 restatement reflect the Company’s determination that its accounting for revenues and associated costs of goods sold and interest expense during the third quarter of 2006 had not properly been reflected in the financial statements contained in the Original Filing in accordance with the revenue recognition criteria as set forth in the accounting policies as included in the Notes to the Financial Statements and in accordance with the conditions per certain loan agreements.
The corrections to this error resulted in both the reversal of revenues and associated costs of goods sold previously recognized and the recognition of additional interest expense. The restatements contained in this Form 10-QSB/A were made in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 154 for correction of errors.
Changes Reflected in this Form 10-QSB/A
This Form 10-QSB/A only amends and restates certain information in the following items related to the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006:
Part I Financial Information
Item 1 — Financial Statements
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note B Basis of presentation and restatements
Note L Subsequent events
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Restatements
Item 3 — Controls and Procedures
Part II Other Information
Item 6 — Exhibits
Certifications
Primarily these amendments are to reflect the Company’s revenues and associated costs of goods sold, which were initially recognized and then reversed after further evaluation of the revenue recognition criteria applied as well as certain interest expenses which were initially not recognized and than additionally recognized after further evaluation of the conditions per certain loan agreements. Other non-material revisions were also made in order to clarify certain disclosure in the Original Filling and to enhance the presentation.
The application of the foregoing has resulted in certain amendments to the Original Filing. Revenues were restated from $1,702,951 per the Original Filing to $1,461,194 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The impact of the revenue amendment resulted in decreasing Gross Profit by $ $68,251. The Interest expenses were restated from $1,457,577 per the Original Filing to $1,682,115 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The accumulated impact of the amendments resulted in
2
increasing Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2006 by $322.558, and increasing the stockholders’ deficit by $297,009 as of September 30, 2006. Consequently these restatements did affect certain items in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2006. These restatements did not affect cash at the end of the period.
This Form 10-QSB/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings.

PLAYLOGIC ENTERTAINMENT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
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.
On June 30, 2005, pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) by and among PEI, a “shell company” at the time, and Playlogic International N.V. (Playlogic N.V.), a corporation formed under the laws of The Netherlands in April 2002, and the shareholders of Playlogic N.V., the Playlogic N.V. shareholders exchanged 100.0% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and preferred shares of Playlogic N.V. for an aggregate 21,836,930 shares of PEI’s common stock. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, Playlogic N.V. became PEI’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Playlogic N.V. Shareholders control approximately 91.0% of the outstanding common stock of PEI, post-transaction.
Playlogic N.V. 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 “the Company”.
NOTE B — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RESTATEMENTS
Basis of presentation
During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual audited consolidated 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore condense or do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, prepared in accordance with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions for Form 10-QSB, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair financial statement presentation. 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 condensed financial statements and makes all operating decisions and allocates resources based on the best benefit to the Company as a whole.
These condensed financial statements reflect the books and records of PEI (formerly Donar Enterprises, Inc.), Playlogic N.V. (a corporation domiciled in The Netherlands) and Playlogic N.V.’s wholly-owned subsidiary Playlogic Game Factory B.V. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Restatements
During the course of preparing the unaudited financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2006, Management of the Company determined that the Company’s accounting for the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred during the second and third quarter of 2005 had not been properly reflected in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain operating expenses and transaction costs associated with the Company’s Share Exchange Agreement entered into in June 2005, which were initially paid by the Company and reimbursed by certain shareholders, were not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for each of the six and three months ended June 30, 2005, the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2005. The corrections to this situation resulted in the recognition of expenses in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement as well as either the recognition of additional contributed capital and/or a reduction in amounts due from shareholder(s) for unrelated advances made prior to the aforementioned Share Exchange Agreement.

The restated numbers have been included in the consolidated statement of operations.
These restatements to the Company’s financial statements were, in part, caused by a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the limitations in the capacity of the Company’s accounting resources to appropriately identify and react in a timely manner to non-routine, complex and related party transactions and communicate said occurrences to it’s independent auditors, as well as the adequate understanding of the disclosure requirements relating to these types of transactions. In order to remediate this material weaknesses, Management of the Company is in the process of designing and implementing improvements to it’s internal controls over financial reporting and to better define the most appropriate protocols to enhance the preparation, review, presentation and disclosures of the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE C — GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $47.5 million, a shareholders’ deficit of approximately $7.4 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $12.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred a net loss and negative operating cash flows of approximately $8.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2006, these trends have continued. Further, the Company is currently negotiating the terms of its bank line of credit and certain shareholder loans. These conditions raise uncertainties about the Company’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 its 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, the Company’s profitability depends upon the Company’s 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 the Company’s ability to introduce and sell the Company’s software could adversely affect 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 and its ability to raise debt and/or equity financing.
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.
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 the Company’s 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.
No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE D — SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
12
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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been converted into US Dollar equivalents.
The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. For balance sheet purposes, at the end of any accounting cycle, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date is used for all assets and liabilities. Resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated currency translation adjustments reserve. The utilized conversion rates are:
| | | | |
September 30, 2006: | | $ | 1.26580 | |
September 30, 2005: | | $ | 1.20640 | |
For revenues, expenses, gains and losses during a respective reporting period, a 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:
| | | | |
September 30, 2006: | | $ | 1.24244 | |
September 30, 2005: | | $ | 1.26457 | |
2.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. The Company accounts 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 against future revenues. 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized impairment charges of approximately $785,000 and $1,123,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized amortization charges of approximately $708,000 and $537,000 respectively.
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.
3.Earnings (loss) per share
SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted income per share for all periods presented. Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.
Unexercised stock options to purchase 540,000 and 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise of the stock options would be anti-dilutive to earnings per share.
Unexercised warrants to purchase 940,631 shares of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2006, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise of the warrants would be anti-dilutive to earnings per share. The 1,000,000 warrants issued in connection with a loan as per note G are excluded from the computation as they are used as collateral for the loan. As of September 30, 2005 there were no warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding.

4.New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SAB No. 108 on our financial position and results of operations
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial position and results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on our financial position and results of operations.

In accordance with the Second loan, the warrants would be returned to the Company for consideration of 500,000 or approximately $ 625,000 if received by October 31, 2006.
On September 29, 2006 the Company borrowed an additional principal amount of€500,000, or approximately $625,000 (the “Fourth Loan”) from the lender who provided the First, Second and Third Loan. No agreement has been signed yet. The Fourth Loan bears a compound interest at a rate of 20% per annum, payable at maturity. The repayment of the principal and interest was due on October 31, 2006. The Company has the option to extend the maturity date of the Fourth Loan to December 1, 2006, provided that the Company shall pay a total amount of principal and interest of€1,000,000, or approximately $1,250,000 on the extended maturity date. In addition, the Company has the option to further extend the maturity date of the First, Second, Third and Fourth Loan beyond December 1, 2006, provided that the Company pays a premium of€60,000, or approximately $75,000 per month.
Both the terms and conditions of the Second, Third and Fourth Loan as well as issuance of the warrants in connection with the Second and Third loan did not get the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company. Consequently, no written agreement was signed for the Fourth loan although the Company has received the loans. Management is currently negotiating amendment of the terms and conditions of these loans including extension of the repayment and a waiver of the penalty interest terms and a waiver of the issuance of warrants. However, there is no assurance that such negotiation will lead to any results or results favorable to the Company.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based payment” (SFAS No. 123R”), that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, as the Company formerly did, using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”), Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as an expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The implementation of SFAS No. 123R has the following effect on the statement of operations for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2006:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |
| | September 30, 2006 | | | September 30, 2006 | |

NOTE K —COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
On December 15, 2005, Playlogic International N.V. (plaintiff) filed a motion to institute proceedings against Digital Concepts DC Studios Inc., of Montreal (“DC Studios”) (defendant) and South Peak Interactive LLC, of North Carolina (“South Peak”) (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 (or approximately $ 8.2 million using September 30, 2006 exchange rates) in view of the alleged unlawful termination by DC Studios of a Letter of Intent under which DC Studios granted the Company exclusive worldwide publishing rights of State of Emergency 2, a title that was released in the first half of 2006. The Company sued South Peak in these proceedings as the second defendant because South Peak, in alleged violation of a clear letter of demand issued by the plaintiff to the defendants, has entered into a publishing agreement with DC Studios with respect to the State of Emergency 2. The Company reached a settlement out of court in August 2006. Under this settlement the Company agreed to withdraw its action in Court while defendants renounced to claim against the Company taxable costs related to the proceedings and all parties to this settlement agreement mutually gave each other a complete full and final release and forever mutually discharged each other.
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.
Other matters
In the second quarter of 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. As of September 30, 2006, an amount of approximately $500,000 has been capitalized for this title. An amount of approximately $ 235,000 has been expensed due to impairment.
NOTE L —SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 13, 2006, the Company signed a settlement agreement with TDK Recording Media Europe S.A. related to the economic effects of a delayed delivery of “Gold Master” media for duplication and the subsequent delayed releases on the market of the video games “World Racing 2”, “Knights of the Temple II” and “Gene Troopers” for both the European and North American markets. The liability for this settlement has been reflected in the Company’s financial statements since the earliest measurement date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the original contract. The Company is currently in breach of the provisions of the settlement agreement but in ongoing discussions to fix a payment plan under the settlement.

The Company did not pay early termination penalties in connection with the termination of this agreement. The 90,000 shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Kohne were sold back to the Company at par value. Additionally, Mr. Kohne’s outstanding options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.50 per share were forfeited on November 1, 2006.
The Company appointed its controller, Wilbert Knol, as the interim Chief Financial Officer, effective November 1, 2006.

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 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. 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.

The following planned release dates were postponed:
The release of Infernal and Ancient Wars: Sparta has been postponed, following distribution contract negotiations.
Currently Playlogic is mainly focusing 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 focused 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 generation consoles in the second half of 2007.
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 it’s 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 nine 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
22
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 Other Risk Factors 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 fourth 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are shown after deduction of a provision for bad and doubtful debts where appropriate.
23
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.
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.
Revenue Recognition
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 Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SAB No. 108 on our financial position and results of operations
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial position and results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on our financial position and results of operations.
Restatements
The following discussion and analysis gives effect to the restatements described in Note B to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 contained in this report. Accordingly, certain of the data set forth in this section are not comparable to discussions and data in our previously filed quarterly report for corresponding period. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 , the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine ended September 30, 2006 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, present the effect of changes in our unaudited consolidated financial statement caused by the restatements.
Results of Operations
Three and NineMonthsEnded September 30, 2006 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005.
Net sales.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $1,461,194 as compared to $542,579 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This represents an increase of $918,615, which is mainly due to the release of the PC game Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales.
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $4,593,865 as compared to $1,288,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The significant increase of $3,305,504 can be explained by the release of four new games since the end of 2005 and partly by the revenues derived from a third party development contract between Playlogic and Sony.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit totaled $796,612 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, gross profit totaled $336,380. This represents an increase of $460,232 and is related to increase in revenues.
Gross profit totaled $2,001,370 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, gross profit totaled $936,534. This represents an increase of $1,064,836 and this increase was caused by the increase in revenues
25
Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,500,615 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,298,608. This represents an increase of $202,007. This increase is in line with the growth of the company, the current line-up and related cost of personnel.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $5,030,264 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $3,653,260. This represents an increase of $1,377,004. This increase in selling, general and administrative 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 its efforts to get a NASDAQ listing.
Research and Development.
Research and development expenses totaled $975,810 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, research and development totaled $(3,322). This represents an increase of $979,132. 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. An amount of $1,123,439 has been written off due to impairment of capitalized research and development expenses.
Research and development expenses totaled $2,262,975 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, research and development totaled $474,323. This represents an increase of $1,788,652. This increase is due to the above mentioned reasons.
Interest expense.
Interest expense totaled $439,715 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, interest expense totaled $59,477. The increase in interest expense of $380,238 was related to the bank line of credit and several short term loans of which the terms are disclosed in item 5 of this document and also includes a non cash interest charge of $123,000 representing the fair value of warrants issued in conjunction with debt. Furthermore, in other income and expense, as a separate line, an amount of $1,242,400 is included relating to bonus interest of bridge loans.
Interest expense totaled $611,804 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, interest expense totaled $256,297.

Net Loss.
Our net loss was $4,580,020 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, net loss totaled $1,268,505.The increase of the net loss of $3,311,515 is related to the individual factors discussed above.
Our net loss was $8,545,307 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net loss totaled $4,556,320. This represents an increase of $3,988,987. 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. The Change in currency translation adjustments was $364 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $2,252,114 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
The change in currency translation adjustments was $(460,639) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $3,945,130 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2006, we had $2,577 cash on hand and $147,786 restricted cash in bank.
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.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency or a combination of significant deficiencies that result in a more than remote likelihood than a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, has advised management and the Board of Directors that it has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal controls:
A material weakness exists as of September 30, 2006, with regard to limitations in the capacity of the Company’s accounting resources to identify and react in a timely manner to non-routine, complex and related party transactions as well as the adequate understanding of the disclosure requirements relating to these transactions.
A material weakness exists as of Sept 30, 2006, with regard to the fact that the Chief Executive Officer has on occasion entered into financing transactions prior to obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors. On one occasion, a financing transaction was later modified to address objections raised by the outside Directors, and certain provisions of the initial agreement were modified or eliminated in order to overcome these objections.
27
In order to remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, management is in the process of designing and implementing and continuing to enhance controls to aid in the correct preparation, review, presentation and disclosures of our Consolidated Financial Statements. We are continuing to monitor, evaluate and test the operating effectiveness of these controls.
Other than indicated above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
