(unaudited)
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from audited financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete consolidated financial statements as required by GAAP. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
There is no provision for dividends for the quarter to which this quarterly report relates.
Description of business
Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (“Playlogic,” the “Company” or “we”) develops and publishes interactive software games designed for video game consoles, handheld platforms and personal computers. We currently offer our products primarily in versions that operate on the Sony PlayStation 2 (“PS2”), Sony PlayStation 3 (“PS3”), Nintendo Wii (“Wii”), and Microsoft Xbox 360 (“Xbox360”) console systems, Nintendo Game Boy Advance (“GBA”), Sony PlayStation Portable (“PSP”), and Nintendo Dual Screen (“NDS”) hand-held devices, and the personal computer (“PC”).
We develop and publish action/adventure, racing, simulation, first-person action, and other software games for casual players, game enthusiasts, children, adults, and mass-market consumers. Our principal sources of revenue are derived from publishing operations. Publishing revenues are derived from the sale of internally developed software titles or software titles developed by third parties. Our publishing business involves the development, marketing, and sale of products directly through distributors or through licensing arrangements, under which we receive royalties.
We sell our products worldwide.
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 consolidated financial statements which present fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented
Going concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $66.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $6.7 million and negative operating cash flows of approximately $14.1 million. These circumstances 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 to six 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.
PLAYLOGIC ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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.
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 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.

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. a Delaware corporation, Playlogic International N.V. (a corporation domiciled in The Netherlands), its wholly-owned subsidiary Playlogic Game Factory B.V. (a corporation domiciled in The Netherlands). Furthermore, we have 60% controlling interest in a joint-venture founded in the United Kingdom. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
For reporting purposes, the Company operated in only one industry for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and makes all operating decisions and allocates resources based on the best benefit to the Company as a whole.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Currency translation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. Dollars. Accounts of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates for assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and average prevailing exchange rates for the period for revenue and expense accounts. Adjustments resulting from translation are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses are included in income in the period in which they occur, except on inter-company balances considered to be long term. Transaction gains and losses on inter-company balances considered to be long term are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s items of other comprehensive income (loss) are foreign currency translation adjustments, which relate to investments that are permanent in nature and therefore do not require tax adjustments.

Earnings/(Loss) Per Share .
Basic earnings/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income(loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share excludes the impact of unvested shares of restricted stock issued under the Company’s incentive stock compensation plan. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential impact of common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock issued under the Company’s incentive stock compensation plan, and outstanding common stock purchase warrants. Diluted and basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are the same because the impact of shares issuable under the incentive stock compensation plan and common stock purchase warrants is anti-dilutive after applying the treasury stock method, as is required by FASB ASC 260 Earnings per Share ..
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted rule amendments that replace the category of “Small Business Issuers” with a broader category of “Smaller Reporting Companies.” Under these rules, a “Smaller Reporting Company” is a company with a public float less than $75,000,000 (measured at end of June). Companies that meet this definition are able to elect “scaled disclosure standards” on an item-by-item or “a-la-carte” basis. With this change, the SEC has streamlined and simplified reporting for many companies, and has not added any significant disclosure requirements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business Combinations. This Statement provides greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the business combination. ASC 805 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for the Company) and interim periods within those years, with earlier adoption prohibited. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASC 805 will have on our consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations. The effect will be dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or ASC 810". FASB ASC 810 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FASB ASC 810 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that FASB ASC 810 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("ASC 815"). ASC 815 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
Also in May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 944, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" ("ASC 944"). ASC 944 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. ASC 944 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASC 944 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 470, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("ASC 470"). ASC 470 applies to convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled by the issuer fully or partially in cash. ASC 470 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. ASC 470 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years after December 15, 2008, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC 260, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities" ("ASC 260"). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance of ASC 260, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings-per-share pursuant to the two-class method. ASC 260 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and all prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this ASC on the earnings per share calculation.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified ASC 815, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("ASC 815"). ASC 815provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. ASC 815is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this ASC 815on the financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination thatArise from Contingencies , which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value, if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. ASC 805 specifies that an asset or liability should be recognized at time of acquisition if the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated and that it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date. ASC 805 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (31 December 2009 for the Company). The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 (the Company's second quarter ended June 30, 2009). The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. Subsequent events were evaluated through the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements on November 18, 2009 at the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 which replaces SFAS No. 162 , The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (the Company's third quarter ended September 30, 2009). We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements . This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of FASB ASC subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements , by allowing the use of the “best estimate of selling price” in addition to vendor specific objective evidence and third party evidence for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence, (b) third-party evidence, or (c) estimates. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-13 to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) – Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements . This guidance modifies the scope of FASB ASC subtopic 965-605, Software-Revenue Recognition , to exclude from its requirements non-software components of tangible products and software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. ASU 2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE C – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Common stock
On February 10, 2009, the Company sold 200,185 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor based in the Netherlands at nominal value of $0.001 per share or gross proceeds of $200, pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated February 10, 2009.
On February 10, 2009, the Company sold 61,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor based in the Netherlands at nominal value of $0.001 per share or gross proceeds of $61, pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated February 10, 2009.
On February 13, 2009, the Company sold 30,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor based in the Netherlands at nominal value of $0.001 per share or gross proceeds of $30, pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated February 13, 2009.
On June 1, 2009, the Company issued 105,000 shares of its common stock for services provided by the PR and Marketing company the Company hired. This PR and Marketing company is based in the United States. The shares have a par value of $0.001 per share.
Stock option plan
On January 23, 2009, the Board of Directors has agreed to grant 1,322,500 options to key employees. This grant is in accordance with the 2006 approved Employee Stock Option Plan. The options have an exercise price of $0.60 per share. These options vest ratably over three years and will expire in 4 years. The fair value of the options totaled $47,610 or $0.04 per share, of which $11,462 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The stock price on the day of grant amounted to $0.25.
The fair value of options granted was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. 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. The following table summarizes the assumptions and variables used to compute the weighted average fair value of stock option grants:
Risk-free interest rate | 1.3% | |
Dividend yield | 0% | |
Volatility factor | 47.5% | |
Weighted-average expected life | 4 Years | |

Overview
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 PlayStation 3,and Playstation2, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii, PCs and handheld devices (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, production, localization, QA and testing, PR and marketing, manufacturing and sales of our products. Playlogic’s products are sold to distributors who supply retailers worldwide. Furthermore, we sell directly to consumers through online distribution channels with various partners.
Development studios throughout the world help create the games which are published by Playlogic. One of these studios is our fully owned subsidiary, Playlogic Game Factory B.V., located in The Netherlands. Other independent studios in various countries develop our games under Software Development Agreements (SDA). These development contracts generally provide that we pay an advance on future royalties earned upon achievement of milestones successfully completed and delivered. In addition, we license the rights of existing Playlogic IP to other development studios who then adapt these products to the specifications and abilities of other (console) platforms.
Studios and developers contact us daily requesting financing and publishing of their games or concepts. We evaluate each of these offers based on several factors, including sales potential of concept or product, technology & tools used, track record and project management of the studio.
We select which games we develop based on our analysis of consumer buying 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 worldwide through existing distribution channels with global or local distributors. When appropriate we have the ability to release our titles simultaneously across a range of hardware formats to maximize overall sales for a particular product with a minimum augmentation in development time and resources.
We believe that greater online functionalities, applications and digital distribution on the new platforms will improve revenue margins and encourage further industry growth. In addition, according to DFC Intelligence, new sales potential, revenue opportunities from wireless gaming, online console gaming, and in-game advertising are expected to grow substantially.
Industry Overview
Over the past two decades, the video game industry has advanced and become a valuable contributor to the entertainment consumption business. The estimated break-down of gamers in US households is 61% male and 39% female, with 47% of gamers between 13 and 24 years old, 30% between 25 and 39 years old; and 23% over 40 years old.
Worldwide, the video game market is projected to increase from $26.2 billion in 2004 to $46.5 billion in 2010, growing at an 11.4 percent compound annual rate. Asia Pacific, the largest market at $9.6 billion in 2004, is projected to maintain its dominance, growing at a 12.3 percent compound annual rate through 2010 to reach $17.4 billion. The United States has the second largest market and is expected to grow from $8.4 billion in 2005 to $13.0 billion in 2010, an 8.9 percent compounded annual according to Company Annual Reports of Crandell & Sidak. (WedBush Morgan).
The video game market reflects consumer spending on console games (including handheld games), personal computer (PC) games, online games, and wireless games. The category excludes spending on the hardware and accessories used to play the games.
With the launch of the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3, the gaming industry had a record-breaking year in 2006. According to NPD Group's industry tracking sales figures, overall profits are up 19 percent, and the combined hardware, software, and accessories sales reached $12.5 billion in the U.S. alone, making it the highest grossing year in the video game industry to date.
Market Trends – Worldwide
The fastest-growing segment during the next five years, global video game spending is expected to increase significantly over the next years. By 2009, online and wireless will be major distribution channels, spurred by broadband penetration and new mobile phones that will be used as much for entertainment as for communication. The PC game market will shrink, and console game spending will grow as next generation consoles are introduced.
The video game market was in a transition year in 2005, awaiting the introduction of the next-generation consoles. Growth slumped to 3.3 percent, the slowest increase during the past five years. The next generation of consoles and recently introduced handheld games will spur the console/handheld market in the U.S., EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Canada, while PC games will continue to decline or see little growth in the U.S. and EMEA. The introduction of new wireless phones capable of downloading games will boost the wireless game market in the U.S., EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Canada. Overall, the video game market will expand at an 11.4 percent CAGR to $46 billion in 2010 from $27 billion in 2005.
Console Installed Base
Since the introduction of PlayStation 2 in 2000, the console has sold over 140 million units worldwide according to games industry. biz. The PlayStation 3 has been introduced to the market in the second half of 2006. Microsoft introduced its next generation console, the Xbox 360, in November 2005. Playlogic will continue development of PlayStation2 titles, because of their large installed base of over 140 million units.
Microsoft’s Xbox360 has sold 32 million units so far. As of September 30, 2009, Sony has shipped approximately 26 million Playstation 3 units worldwide. Nintendo’s next generation console, called ‘Wii’ has sold more than 55 million units so far.
Nintendo Dual Screens (‘Nintendo DS’) and PlayStation Portable (‘PSP’) were both successfully introduced to the market. The sales volume of the Nintendo DS reached 110 million units by September 30, 2009, and PSP reached the sales volume of 50 million units sold.
PC Games
Playlogic will continue to also release PC games since, in comparison to next generation consoles games, these products are less expensive to develop, address a very wide target audience and contribute significant better margins. Furthermore Playlogic will focus on new successful platforms like the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo Wii.
Consumer Facts
Thirty percent of most frequent game players are under eighteen years old while twenty-six percent of most frequent game players are between 18 and 35 years old. Forty-four percent of most frequent game players are over 35 years old. Forty percent of most frequent console game players are under eighteen years old while thirty-five percent of most frequent game players are between 18 and 35 years old. Twenty-five percent of most frequent console game players are over 35 years old. Thirty-eight percent of game players are women. Women age 18 or older represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (30%) than boys age 17 or younger (23%).The average adult woman plays games 7.4 hours per week. The average adult man plays 7.6 hours per week. Though males spend more time playing than do females, the gender/time gap has narrowed significantly.
Females are being significantly attracted to playing certain online multi-user video games that offer a more communal experience, and a small hardcore group of young females are playing aggressive games that are usually thought of as being "traditionally male" games. The most loyal fan-base is reported to be for large role-playing games (Nielsen Active Gamer Study).
According to the ESRB almost 41% of video and PC gamers are women.
We believe the demographics of game players will widen, and be a major source of the growth of the industry. The first generation gamers are now in their 30s and are still playing games and new consumers enter the market, including children at the age of 6 to 8 and an increasing number of women players. | | | | | | (Expected) Release |

_______________
1 Released in the US only
The games industry is currently in a transition period. The current and Next Gen consoles (Xbox360, PlayStation 3, Wii) and DS platforms have broadened the market, appealing to an even larger mass consumer audience than ever before, providing increased publishing opportunities. The investments in next generation platforms are however larger than for the previous generation platforms. Playlogic has created a healthy balance between games available for the current and the next generation platforms.
Material agreements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a number of publishing and distribution agreements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our most critical accounting policies, which are those that require significant judgment, include: capitalization and recognition of software development costs and licenses; share-based compensation and revenue recognition. In-depth descriptions of these can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Form 10-K”). There have been no material changes in our existing accounting policies from the disclosures included in our 2008 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted rule amendments that replace the category of “Small Business Issuers” with a broader category of “Smaller Reporting Companies.” Under these rules, a “Smaller Reporting Company” is a company with a public float less than $75,000,000 (measured at end of June). Companies that meet this definition are able to elect “scaled disclosure standards” on an item-by-item or “a-la-carte” basis. With this change, the SEC has streamlined and simplified reporting for many companies, and has not added any significant disclosure requirements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business Combinations. This Statement provides greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the business combination. ASC 805 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for the Company) and interim periods within those years, with earlier adoption prohibited. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASC 805 will have on our consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations. The effect will be dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or ASC 810". FASB ASC 810 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FASB ASC 810 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that FASB ASC 810 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("ASC 815"). ASC 815 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
Also in May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 944, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" ("ASC 944"). ASC 944 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. ASC 944 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASC 944 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 470, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("ASC 470"). ASC 470 applies to convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled by the issuer fully or partially in cash. ASC 470 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. ASC 470 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years after December 15, 2008, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC 260, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities" ("ASC 260"). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance of ASC 260, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings-per-share pursuant to the two-class method. ASC 260 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and all prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this ASC on the earnings per share calculation.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified ASC 815, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("ASC 815"). ASC 815provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. ASC 815is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this ASC 815on the financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination thatArise from Contingencies , which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value, if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. ASC 805 specifies that an asset or liability should be recognized at time of acquisition if the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated and that it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date. ASC 805 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (31 December 2009 for the Company). The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 (the Company's second quarter ended June 30, 2009). The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. Subsequent events were evaluated through the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements on November 18, 2009 at the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 which replaces SFAS No. 162 , The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (the Company's third quarter ended September 30, 2009). We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements . This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of FASB ASC subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements , by allowing the use of the “best estimate of selling price” in addition to vendor specific objective evidence and third party evidence for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence, (b) third-party evidence, or (c) estimates. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-13 to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) – Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements . This guidance modifies the scope of FASB ASC subtopic 965-605, Software-Revenue Recognition , to exclude from its requirements non-software components of tangible products and software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. ASU 2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
Net sales . Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $6,701,682 as compared to $9,418,489 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease of $2,716,807 or 28% in revenue is primarily related to the release of fewer number of titles compared to 2008. For the three months ended September 30 the net revenue was $2,019,382 in 2009 compared to $1,068,377 in the same period 2008. This increase of $951,005 or 89% is caused by the fact that we have released more titles in the third quarter of 2009 than the third quarter of 2008.
Gross Profit .Gross profit totaled $1,737,632 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, gross profit totaled $4,642,009. This decrease is caused by the fact that gross profit as a percentage of sales can vary significantly from period to period due to the sales mix and the type of sales deals included. Furthermore, the Company has shortened the lifecycle per game on which the amortization is calculated. Therefore in some cases straight line amortization could exceed the percentage of sales amortization for a certain period. For the three months ended September 30 the gross profit was $33,108 in 2009 compared to $264,929 in the same period 2008. The decrease of $231,821 is also due to the fact described above.
Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $6,645,614, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $4,697,197. This represents an increase of $1,948,417 or 42%. This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to higher spending in marketing expenses, such as trade shows, but also game by game marketing. We presented our 2009 line up at the E3 trade show in Los Angeles in June 2009 and at the GamesCom in Cologne in August 2009. In the three months ended September 30, 2009 the Selling, Marketing, General & Administrative expenses amounted to $2,518,430 compared to $1,850,293 in 2008. This represents an increase of $668,137 compared to prior year. This is due to the reason mentioned above.
Research and Development . Research and development expenses totaled $404,442 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, research and development totaled $301,031. This represents an increase of $103,411 or 34%. This increase is due to the fact that our in-house studio is focusing on the development of a game to be released in Q2 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Research and Development expenses amounted to $307,698 compared to $125,589 in the same period 2008. This increase is also due to the fact that one in-house studio is focusing on the development of a game to be released in Q2 2011. Furthermore, the studio is investing time in the development of future downloadable content.
Depreciation . Depreciation expenses totaled $301,098 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the depreciation expense totaled $284,234. The increase is due to new investments made due to the move of the Company’s headquarters during 2008. Mainly investments in leasehold improvement and furniture have been made. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 the depreciation amounted $93,628 compared to $127,829 in the same period 2008. This decrease is due to the fact that some fixed assets of our in-house studio have been fully depreciated during the third quarter of 2009.
Interest Expense .Interest expense totaled $999,971 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, interest expense totaled $259,890. This represents an increase of $740,081. This increase in interest expense is primarily due to the increase of interest bearing short term loans during the year. Also, the Company issued warrants in connection with these loans. The amortization of the debt discount is recorded as interest expense (expenses amount to $483,091 for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $98,000 for the same period in 2008. These expenses are shown on a separate line in the P&L). For the three months ended September 30, 2009 the interest expense amounted to $493,069 compared to $191,172 in the same period 2008. This increase is caused by the same facts as described above.
Net Result. Our net loss was $6,724,284 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the net loss totaled $1,953,495. The decrease in the net result is due to the lower sales in the first nine months of 2009 as disclosed above. Furthermore, the need to spend more money on PR and Marketing of the products has led to higher costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 the net loss amounted to $3,384,552 compared to a net loss of $2,994,301 in the same period 2008. The decrease in the result is due to increased expenses in PR and Marketing as well as a lower gross margin due to higher cost of goods due to console games as opposed to PC titles.
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 $(1,447,527) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $(975,302) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 the comprehensive income amounted to $(1,082,831) compared to $(104,667) in the same period 2008. The amounts are relatively high this year due to the sharp fluctuations of the US Dollar compared to the EURO.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2009 our cash balance was $775,416.
We expect our capital requirements to increase over the next several years as we continue to 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.
Our net accounts receivable, after providing an allowance for doubtful accounts, at September 30, 2009 was $4,736,634.
Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results and Seasonality
We have experienced fluctuations in quarterly operating results as a result of the timing of the introduction of new titles; variations in sales of titles developed for particular platforms; market acceptance of our titles; development and promotional expenses relating to the introduction of new titles; sequels or enhancements of existing titles; projected and actual changes in platforms; the timing and success of title introductions by our competitors; product returns; changes in pricing policies by us and our competitors; the accuracy of retailers’ forecasts of consumer demand; the size and timing of acquisitions; the timing of orders from major customers; and order cancellations and delays in product shipment. Quarterly comparisons of operating results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
We transact business in foreign currencies and are exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accounts relating to foreign operations are translated into United States dollars using prevailing exchange rates at the relevant quarter end. Translation adjustments are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment loss was approximately $5.4 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) were effective as of September 30, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2009, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In June 2007, Playlogic Entertainment Inc. was sued in class action before the US district court in Manhattan, with respect to alleged damage as a result of copy protection software included in Age of Pirates – Caribbean Tales. We do not foresee any liability in this matter, as plaintiffs have clearly sued the wrong company and the wrong entity. Playlogic acts only as a publisher of the game and therefore is not liable for possible faults in production or distribution. Moreover, as far as any claim could be brought against Playlogic, it would be the Dutch subsidiary Playlogic International NV, with its statutory seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, that would have to be sued. As a consequence, the pending case should fail on both grounds and any new action against the Dutch subsidiary would have to be brought before the Dutch courts that are even more likely than the US courts to reject class actions like this.
Except as referred to above there were no new material legal proceedings or material developments to the pending legal proceedings that have been previously reported in Part I, Item 3 of our 2008 Form 10-K. A full discussion of our pending legal proceedings is also contained in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Report.
