NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
In January 2006, Left Behind Games Inc. (collectively, “we”, “our,” the “Company” or “LBG”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Bonanza Gold, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Bonanza”), wherein Bonanza acquired LBG through the purchase of our outstanding common stock on a “1 for 1” exchange basis. Prior to the execution of the Agreement, on January 25, 2006, we effected a 2.988538 for 5 reverse stock split of both our common stock and preferred stock outstanding, resulting in 12,456,538 and 3,586,246 shares of common and preferred stock, respectively. Also prior to the execution of the Agreement, Bonanza effected a 1 for 4 reverse stock split, resulting in 1,882,204 shares of common stock outstanding.
Effective February 1, 2006, Bonanza exchanged 12,456,538 and 3,586,246 shares of its common and preferred stock, respectively, for an equal number of our common and preferred shares. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby the assets and liabilities of LBG were reported at their historical cost. Bonanza had nominal amounts of assets and no significant operations at the date of the acquisition.
We were incorporated on August 27, 2002 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of engaging in the business of producing, distributing and selling video games and associated products. We completed the development of a video game based upon the popularLEFT BEHIND series of novels published by Tyndale House Publishers (“Tyndale”) and as of November 2006 began commercially selling the video game to retail outlets nationwide.
We hold an exclusive worldwide licenses from Tyndale to develop, manufacture and distribute video games and related products based on theLEFT BEHIND series of novels published by Tyndale, from Lifeline Studios to distribute the Charlie Church Mouse series of games and from Another Day Ltd. to distribute the Keys of the Kingdom game.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such rules and regulations allow us to condense and omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. We have evaluated subsequent events through August 18, 2009, the day before our condensed consolidated financial statements were issued (see Note 11). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009. The interim unaudited consolidated financial information contained in this filing is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending March 31, 2010.
NOTE 2 -
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LBG and, effective July 2005, include the accounts of LB Games Ukraine LLC (“LB Games Ukraine”), a variable interest entity in which LBG is the primary beneficiary. LB Games Ukraine is a related party created to improve control over software development with independent contractors internationally. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
We maintain our cash accounts with a several financial institutions. Accounts at these financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, we did not have balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant estimates include recoverability of prepaid royalties and long-lived assets, and the realizability of accounts receivable, inventories and deferred tax assets.
Software Development Costs
Research and development costs, which consist of software development costs, are expensed as incurred. Software development costs primarily include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86,Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, provides for the capitalization of certain software development costs incurred after technological feasibility of the software is established or for the development costs that have alternative future uses. We believe that the technological feasibility of the underlying software is not established until substantially all product development is complete, which generally includes the development of a working model. No software development costs have been capitalized to date.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of product costs, royalty expenses, license costs and inventory-related operational expenses.
Inventories
Raw materials, work in process and finished goods are stated at the lower of average cost or market. In accordance with SFAS No. 95,
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 5 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the accounts are relieved of the cost and the related accumulated depreciation, with any resulting gain or loss included in the consolidated statement of operations.
Intangible Assets
License Agreement
The cost of the Lifeline Studios international license agreement will be amortized over the two-year life of the agreement on a straight-line basis over its terms.
Royalties
Royalty-based obligations with content licensors are either paid in advance and capitalized as prepaid royalties or are accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalty-based obligations are generally expensed to cost of goods sold at the greater of the contractual rate or an effective royalty rate based on expected net product sales.
Our contracts with some licensors include minimum guaranteed royalty payments which are recorded to expense and as a liability at the contractual amount when no significant performance remains with the licensor. Minimum royalty payment obligations are classified as current liabilities to the extent such royalty payments are contractually due within the next twelve months.
Significant judgment is required to estimate the effective royalty rate for a particular contract. Because the computation of effective royalty rates requires us to project future revenue, it is inherently subjective as our future revenue projections must anticipate, for example, (1) the total number of titles subject to the contract, (2) the timing of the release of these titles, (3) the number of software units we expect to sell, and (4) future pricing.
Our license agreement requires payments of royalties to the licensor. The license agreement provides for royalties to be calculated as a specified percentage of sales and provides for guaranteed minimum royalty payments. Royalties payable calculated using the agreement percentage rates are being recognized as cost of sales as the related sales are recognized. Guarantees advanced under the license agreement are recorded as a component of cost of sales during the period in which the Company is contractually obligated to make minimum guaranteed royalty payments.
8
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $811 in cost of goods sold related to the Left Behind brand license, $2,563 in cost of goods sold related to the Charlie Church Mouse license and $813 in cost of goods sold related to Keys of the Kingdom license. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $2,475 in cost of goods sold related to the Charlie Church Mouse license.
Long-Lived Assets
We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the present value of estimated future cash flows. As of June 30, 2009, we believe there is no impairment of our long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or that there will be demand for our products, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.
We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on April 1, 2007, the first day of fiscal 2007. FIN 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 and seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement requirement for the financial statement recognition of a tax position that has been taken or is expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Under FIN 48 the Company may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The Company believes that its income tax filing p osition and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its consolidated financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying FIN 48 is to be reported as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings related to the adoption of FIN 48. The Company was not required to record a cumulative effect as a result of adopting FIN 48. The Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective April 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2007, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the year ended March 31, 2007 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted and not yet vested prior to April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. No stock option s have been granted to employees. Therefore, we believe the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had an immaterial effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
We calculate stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model. Our determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards is made as of the respective dates of grant using the option pricing model and that determination is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. The Binomial Lattice option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because employee stock options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of our employe e stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The calculated compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the option.
9
Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-18,Accounting Recognition for Certain Accounting Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of the common stock issued for certain future consulting services as deferred stock based compensation in our consolidated balance sheets.
Basic and Diluted Loss per share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming all potential dilutive common shares were issued. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the periods presented as the effect of warrants and convertible deferred salaries on loss per share are anti-dilutive and thus not included in the diluted loss per share calculation.
There were 62,970,217 and 82,261,090 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, have not been included in loss per share calculations. At June 30, 2009, the potentially dilutive common shares arose from the following instruments:
Convertible notes |
| 43,359,290 |
Warrants |
| 4,943,750 |
Preferred stock series A |
| 3,586,245 |
Preferred stock series B |
| 11,080,932 |
Total |
| 62,970,217 |
Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income
We have determined that the functional currency of LB Games Ukraine is the local currency of that company. Assets and liabilities of the Ukrainian subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the period end exchange rates. Income and expenses, including payroll expenses, are translated at an average exchange rate for the period and the translation gain or loss is accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit. We determined that the translation gain or loss did not have a material impact on our stockholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2009 and 2008. As a result, we have not presented a separate accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign currency gains and losses from transactions denominated in other than the respective local currencies are included in income. There were no foreign currency transactions included in income during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The components of comprehensive income were not materially impacted by foreign currency gains or losses during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, related party advances, notes payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities or based on rates currently available to the Company for notes payable.
Revenue Recognition
We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9,Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactionsand Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104,Revenue Recognition. We evaluate revenue recognition using the following basic criteria and recognize revenue when all four of the following criteria are met:
10
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists: Evidence of an agreement with the customer that reflects the terms and conditions to deliver products must be present in order to recognize revenue.
·
Delivery has occurred: Delivery is considered to occur when the products are shipped and risk of loss and reward have been transferred to the customer.
·
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable: If an arrangement includes rights of return or rights to refunds without return, revenue is recognized at the time the amount of future returns or refunds can be reasonably estimated or at the time when the return privilege has substantially expired in accordance with SFAS No. 48,Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists. If an arrangement requires us to rebate or credit a portion of our sales price if the customer subsequently reduces its sales price for our product to its customers, revenue is recognized at the time the amount of future price concessions can be reasonably estimated, or at the time of customer sell-through.
·
Collectibility is reasonably assured: 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).
For sales to our large retail customers, we defer revenue recognition until the resale of the products to the end customers, or the “sell-through method.” Under sell-through revenue accounting, accounts receivable are recognized and inventory is relieved upon shipment to the channel partner or retail customer as title to the inventory is transferred upon shipment, at which point we have a legally enforceable right to collection under normal terms. The associated sales and cost of sales are deferred by recording “deferred income – product sales” (gross profit margin on these sales) as shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. When the related product is sold by our large retail customers to their end customers, we recognize previously deferred income as sales and cost of sales. Our primary channel partner and largest retail customer each provide us with sell-through information on a frequent basis regarding sales to end customers and in-channel inventories. At June 30, 2009, we had no deferred revenue from large retail customers.
For sales to our on-line store customers, revenues are deferred until such time as the right of return privilege granted to the customers lapses, which is 30 days from the date of sale for unopened games.
For sales to our Christian bookstore customers and all other customers that cannot provide us with sell-through information and for which we may accept product returns from time to time, revenues are recognized on a cash receipts basis.
We continue to accumulate historical product return and price concession information related to our Christian bookstore customers and all other customers. In future periods, we may elect to return to the accrual methodology of recording revenue for those customers upon shipment with estimated reserves at which time we believe we can reasonably estimate returns and price concessions to these customers based upon our historical results.
Revenue from Sales of Consignment Inventory. We have placed consignment inventory with certain customers. We receive payment from those customers only when they sell our product to the end consumers. We recognize revenue from the sale of consignment inventory only when we receive payment from those customers.
Shipping and Handling: In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-10,Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, we recognize amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as revenue. Additionally, shipping and handling costs incurred by us are included in cost of goods sold.
Historically, we have promoted our products with advertising, consumer incentive and trade promotions. Such programs include, but are not limited to, cooperative advertising, promotional discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, volume based incentives and product introductory payments (i.e. slotting fees). In accordance with EITF No. 01-09,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or Reseller of the Vendors Products, certain payments made to customers by the Company, including promotional sales allowances, cooperative advertising and product introductory expenditures have been deducted from revenue. During the three months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, we did not have any such payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS," ("SFAS No. 157") which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP, but does not require any new fair value measurements. The guidance in SFAS No. 157 applies to derivatives and other financial instruments measured at estimated fair value under SFAS No. 133 and related pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS No. 157 applies to certain assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, an d expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This Statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. We adopted SFAS 157 on April 1, 2008 without material impact to our financial statements.
SFAS No. 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSB APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires recognition of both the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features. The debt component is required to be recognized at the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have an associated equity component. The equity component is recognized as the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the note and the fair value of the liability. FSP APB 14-1 also requires an accretion of the resulting debt discount over the expected life of the debt. Retrospective application to all periods presented is required and a cumulative-effect adjustment is recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented. This standard is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 07-5, "Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's own Stock" ("EITF 07-5"). EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133 - specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to our own stock and (b) classified in stockholders' equity in the statement of financial position would not be consider a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer's own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS No. 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception.
We adopted EITF 07-5 effective April 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 07-5's requirements can affect the accounting for warrants or convertible debt that contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price (or "down-round" protection). For example, warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity. Down-round protection provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. We evaluated whether convertible debt or warrants to acquire stock of the Company contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a "fixed-for-fixed" option. The adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
12
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 ("FSP 107-1"), which is entitled "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." This pronouncement amended SFAS No 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosure of the carrying amount and the fair value of all financial instruments for interim reporting periods and annual financial statements of publicly traded companies (even if the financial instrument is not recognized in the balance sheet), including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values and any changes in such methods and assumptions. FSP 107-1 also amended APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods e nded after March 15, 2009 if a company also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Indentifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, and FSP FAS 115-2/FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. We adopted this pronouncement without material impact to our financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB also issued FSP FAS 157-4, which generally applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of any accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This pronouncement, which does not change SFAS No. 157's guidance regarding Level 1 inputs, requires the entity to (i) evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability when compared with normal market activity, (ii) consider whether the preceding indicates that transactions or quoted prices are not determinative of fair value and, if so, whether a significant adjustment thereof is necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, and (iii) ignore the intent to hold the asset or liability when estimating fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 also provides guidance to consider in determining whether a transaction is orderly (or not orderly) when there has be en a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, based on the weight of available evidence. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 also requires early adoption of the pronouncement described in the following paragraph. However, early adoption for periods ended before March 15, 2009 is not permitted. We adopted this pronouncement without material impact to our financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 (hereinafter referred to as "FAS 115-2/124-2"), which amends the other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") recognition guidance in certain existing U.S. GAAP (including SFAS No. 115 and 130, FSP FAS 115-1/FAS 124-1, and EITF Issue 99-20) for debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. FAS 115-2/124-2 requires the entity to consider (i) whether the entire amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered (based on the present value of expected cash flows), and (ii) its intent to sell the security. Based on the factors described in the preceding sentence, this pronouncement also explains the process for determining the OTTI to be recognized in "other comprehensive income" (generally, the impairment charge for other than a credit loss) and in earnings. FAS 115-2/124-2 does not change existing recognition or measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities. This pronouncement is effective as described in the preceding paragraph. Certain transition rules apply to debt securities held at the beginning of the interim period of adoption when an OTTI was previously recognized. If an entity early adopts either FSP 107-1 or FSP FAS 157-4, the entity is also required to early adopt this pronouncement. In addition, if an entity early adopts FAS 115-2/124-2, it is also required to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4. We adopted this pronouncement without material impact to our financial statements.
In November 2007, the EITF issued a consensus on EITF 07-1, "Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements" ("EITF 07-1"). The Task Force reached a consensus on how to determine whether an arrangement constitutes a collaborative arrangement, how costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to third parties should be reported by the partners to a collaborative arrangement in each of their respective income statements, how payments made to or received by a partner pursuant to a collaborative arrangement should be presented in the income statement, and what participants should disclose in the notes to the financial statements about a collaborative arrangement. This issue shall be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Entities should report the effects of applying this Issue as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods to the extent practicable. Upon application of this issue, the following should be disclosed: a) a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted, if any, and b) the effect of the change on revenue and operating expenses (or other appropriate captions of changes in the applicable net assets or performance indicator) and on any other affected financial statement line item. We adopted this pronouncement without material impact to our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)"). This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141(R) replaces the cost-allocation process of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. This statement applies prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We adopted this pronouncement without material impact to our financial statements.
13
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, ("SFAS 165") which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. We adopted SFAS 165 beginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have evaluated subsequent events through August 13, 2009, the day before our condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. See Note 1 and Note 9.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("the Act") introduced new requirements regarding corporate governance and financial reporting. Among the many requirements of the Act is for management to annually assess and report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(a) and for its registered public accountant to attest to this report under Section 404(b). The SEC has modified the effective date and adoption requirements of Section 404(a) and Section 404(b) implementation for non-accelerated filers multiple times, such that we were required to issue our management report on internal control over financial reporting in this annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Based on current SEC requirements, we will be required to have our auditor attest the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
Customer Concentrations
During the three month period ended June 30, 2009, we had no customers accounting for greater than 5% of our revenues. During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, our largest retail customer accounted for 51% of our revenue.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of LBG as a going concern. We have started generating revenue but have incurred net losses of $1,961,627 and $832,680 during the year ended March 31, 2009 and three months ending June 30, 2009, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $44,834,316 at June 30, 2009. In addition, we used cash in our operations of $136,461 during the three months ended June 30, 2009. However, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009, approximately 43% of our notes payable were converted to common stock.
Over the past year, we have significantly reduced our cost of operations. The size of our operations was reduced from 75 workers in 3 countries to less than 10 in the USA, and we consolidated our offices into one location in Murrieta, California. A new Board of Directors took office on December 3, 2007. We are currently pursuing a new product strategy of developing intellectual property (new products) aimed at leveraging existing products which are modified to become inspirational for significantly less than our previous product development expenses. This is evidenced by our cost of development for our new PC Game, ‘Keys of the Kingdom’ which was announced at the recent International Christian Retail Show. In the past year, we have successfully built a direct-to-store distribution channel to more than 1,500 stores and this year, plans to increase revenue from the mainstream, inspirational and direct-to-consumer sales channels. A new program is u nderway to provide consumers an opportunity to buy our products in exchange for a donation to be made to their favorite charity, church or ministry. We expect to continue to reduce costs and increase margins as was evidenced by our per unit cost drop in the past year from $3.63 to $1.50. We plan to continue to control and reduce costs where necessary in an effort to reach profitability. Management plans to raise additional capital in the later half of 2009 to fund ongoing business operations and to then reevaluate capital needs upon a review of sales performance resulting from the upcoming holiday season.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and to repay the liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities. No assurance can be given that additional capital will be available when required or on terms acceptable to us. We also cannot give assurance that we will achieve significant revenues in the future. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or generate positive operating results.
These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of LBG to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As LB Games Ukraine was providing software development services only to us and due to our history of providing on-going financial support to that entity, through consolidation we have elected to absorb all net losses of this variable interest entity in excess of our ownership interest and the actual capital we have invested in this entity. During the three months ending June 30, 2009, we did not make any payments to LB Games Ukraine.
15
NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share of common stock held and have equal rights to receive dividends when, and if, declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefore, subject to the preference of any holders of preferred stock. In the event of liquidation, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution to stockholders, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding. Shares of common stock are not redeemable and have no preemptive or similar rights.
During the three months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, we issued to independent third parties 3,070,153 and 5,649,091 shares of common stock for services provided, valued at $150,437 and $90,567 (based on the closing price on the respective grant date), respectfully. We also issued 4,000,000 and 75,000 shares of common stock, valued at $60,000 and $1,500 (based on the closing price on the respective grant date), respectfully, to certain employees as additional compensation.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we issued 562,500 warrants to purchase shares of common stock all with an exercise price of $0.05 (see Note 9). We estimated the value of these warrants to be approximately $11,000 using the binomial lattice method.
Also, during the three month period ended June 30, 2009, certain of our investors converted notes payable to 182,724,997 shares of our common stock at various conversion prices, reducing our debt by $678,493. We also raised $147,379 through the sale of 153,921,828 shares of common stock, sold at various prices.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue sixty million (60,000,000) shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock of which 3,586,245 are designated as preferred A shares and 11,080,929 preferred B shares and are issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2009 respectively. Preferred A shares are convertible on a one for one basis with our common stock at the sole discretion of the holder. Our preferred A shares ontain one for one common stock voting rights. The preferred stock is entitled to preference over the common stock with respect to the distribution of our assets in the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or in the event of any other distribution of our assets of among the shareholders for the purpose of winding-up our affairs. The authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may be divided into and issued in designated series from time to time by one or more resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. The Directors in their sole discretion shall have the power to determine the relative powers, preferences, and rights of each series of preferred stock.
The holders of series A preferred stock have a liquidation preference equal to the sum of the converted principal, accrued interest and value of converted common stock, aggregating $188,500 at June 30, 2009.
Each share of series B preferred stock has voting power equal to 200 shares of common stock for a twelve month period. Subsequently, each series B preferred share has voting power equal to one vote of common stock. In the event of liquidation, holders of preferred stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution to stockholders. Due to its liquidation preference, the series A preferred stock will have priority over series B preferred stock in the event of a liquidation.
We did not issue any preferred shares in the three months ending June 30, 2009.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees and Indemnities
We have made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party in relation to certain actions or transactions. We indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. We have also indemnified our consultants, investment bankers, sublicensor and distributors against any liability arising from the performance of their services or license commitment, pursuant to their agreements. In connection with our facility leases, we have indemnified our lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facility. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreement. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
16
Antidilution Rights to Common Stock
In 2004, we entered into an agreement with Charter Financial Holdings, LLC in connection with consulting services. The compensation section of the agreement requires that we issue shares of our common stock to Charter sufficient to ensure that its ownership in us, does not fall below one percent (1%) of our outstanding common stock. The result is that for each time we issue or sell stock, we must issue that amount of stock to Charter Financial Holdings, LLC to maintain their ownership percentage. Charter Financial Holdings, LLC is not required to pay additional consideration for those shares.
Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our key employees. Such contracts provide for minimum annual salaries and are renewable annually. In the event of termination of certain employment agreements by LBG without cause, we would be required to pay continuing salary payments for specified periods in accordance with the employment contracts.
Leases
We operate in a 2,500 square foot sales and distribution facility in Temecula, California under a sublease agreement through October 2009. Its cost is $1,850 per month.
Previously, our corporate offices consisted of a 3,500 square foot facility on 29995 Technology Drive in Murrieta, California under a lease agreement through May 2010. Its cost is $7,545 per month, with annual increases of four percent (4%). We abandoned that facility in March 2008 and are seeking a resolution with the landlord.
We have recorded as exit costs of approximately $176,000 for the potential liabilities associated with abandoning two former office facilities.
Independent Sales Representatives
In order to help us secure retail distribution of our initial product, we entered into consulting arrangements with several independent representatives. The payment arrangements to these independent representatives are based upon the ultimate amount paid to us by each customer. The commission rates for these independent representatives typically vary from three percent to five percent to thirty percent of the net amount we collect from customers.
Left Behind License
On October 11, 2002, the publisher of theLeft Behind book series granted us an exclusive worldwide license to use the copyrights and trademarks relating to the storyline and content of the books in theLeft Behind series of novels for the manufacture and distribution of video game products for personal computers, CD-ROM, DVD, game consoles, and the Internet.
The license requires us to pay royalties based on the gross receipts on all non-electronic products and for electronic products produced for use on personal computer systems, and a smaller percentage of the gross receipts on other console game platform systems. According to the license agreement, we are required to guarantee a minimum royalty during the initial four-year term of the license, of which we have already paid a portion. This advance will be set off as a credit against all monies owed subsequently under the license. We were behind in our payments to the licensor. If these are not paid, in the event the licensor makes a demand, it could result in the termination of the license agreement. In such case, we shall continue to have the rights to sell all games in the marketplace along with all inventory already purchased. On September 28, 2008, the Company and licensor modified terms of the agreement to eliminate minimum royalty guarantees. Instead, within 30 days from the end of each month, Company shall provide royalties to licensor based upon its agreement for the preceding month. Additionally, the license term of 3 years automatically renews to additional terms in perpetuity.
Content License
In July 2007, and subsequently in June, 2009, we entered into a Software Publishing Agreements to publish three pc video games under the Charlie Church Mouse (“CCM”) brand. That license agreement requires us to pay royalties to the licensor at a rate of twenty percent of the gross margin on the cash receipts from sales of CCM branded games net of any amounts received as or for any sales, use, customs or other taxes, or postage, shipping, handling, freight, delivery, insurance, maintenance service, sales programs and commissions, interest or finance charges. We paid an original license fee of $25,000 and a renewal fee of another $25,000 in connection with the signing of the Software Publishing Agreements and have a prepaid license fee amount of $31,616 under prepaid expenses and other current assets on our June, 30, 2009 balance sheet.

Litigation
We are subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business.
On April 3, 2009, Beta Winchester LLP was granted a judgment for $40,137.60. However, we believe that their attorney neglected to inform the judge that they are holding approximately $45,000 of corporate funds as a deposit. Accordingly, we do not believe this issue to be material and are seeking a remedy in court. Company’s counsel and Beta Winchester LLP’s counsel have come to a preliminary understanding of terms to resolve this dispute through the release of the judgment by Beta Winchester LLP in exchange for the application of our deposit of approximately $45,000.
On July 25, 2009, Xerox Corporation filed suit against the Company for $67,000, representing full payment of two three year operating leases we have on two Xerox WorkCentre systems. The Company has disputed Xerox’s refusal to service the systems under the terms of the lease. Company’s counsel and counsel representing Xerox have come to terms to resolve this dispute.
We are currently not involved in any other litigation or any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 11 - DEFERRED REVENUES
At March 31, 2009, we had $1,442 of deferred revenue related to our on-line store sales. As we allow a one-month period for our on-line store customers to return our games, we record the revenue from the last month of each quarter as deferred revenue and then recognize that revenue once the one-month period has elapsed.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 7, 2009, we signed a distribution agreement with Jack of All Games, the distribution subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive (Nasdaq: TTWO), to distribute our games, providing us with potential distribution of our products into stores including Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, EB Games, GameStop, Toys "R" Us, Blockbuster and other leading retailers.
On July 25, 2009, Xerox Corporation filed suit against the Company for $67,000, representing full payment of two three year operating leases we have on two Xerox WorkCentre systems. The Company has disputed Xerox’s refusal to service the systems under the terms of the lease. Company’s counsel and counsel representing Xerox have come to conceptual terms to resolve this dispute by allowing the Company to pay the $67,000 over a period of time that is still being negotiated.
In July 2009, we paid down our payroll tax obligations by approximately $67,000.

THE COMPANY
Left Behind Games Inc. d/b/a Inspired Media Entertainment (herein referred to as the “Company”, “LFBG”, “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms), was founded on December 31, 2001 and incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 22, 2002. The Company is engaged in the development, production and sale of Christian inspirational PC video games based upon the popularLeft Behind series of novels, published by Tyndale House Publishers. The mission of the company is to become the world’s leading independent developer and publisher of quality interactive entertainment products that perpetuate positive values and appeal to mainstream and faith-based audiences. As of the date of this Annual Report, we produce and sell inspirational video games.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol “LFBG.”
On that December 31, 2001, we signed a license agreement with Tyndale House Publishers for the exclusive world-wide rights to theLeft Behind brand for the purpose of electronic games. According to Tyndale House Publishers, theLeft Behind’s book series has sold more than sixty three (63) million copies and as a result, the ten initial books, followed by children’s books, comic books, music and three movies with theLeft Behind brand name have generated hundreds of millions of dollars at retail. According to a Barna Research study,Left Behind has also become a recognized brand name by more than one-third (1/3) of Americans.
Left Behind Games Inc. became a public company on February 7, 2006. On that date, through a reverse merger acquisition, we acquired the public entity Bonanza Gold, Inc., a Washington corporation which had been in operation since 1961. As a result of the share exchange agreement, LFBG shareholders and management controlled the new public company. And as part of the transaction, we changed the name to Left Behind Games, Inc. and are currently doing business under the name “Inspired Media Entertainment.”
20
Due to the high impact of the brand nameLeft Behind Games,recognized withinthe marketplace, we have retained this name although other products have been added to our line. As time goes on and we continue to add new products, we anticipate changing our name to Inspired Media Entertainment.
Our Company became one of the first to develop, publish, and distribute products game for the multi-billion dollar inspirational marketplace when in November of 2006, we released our first product, “LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces”, a PC real-time strategy game. We successfully gained entry into more than ten thousand (10,000) retail locations, including Target, Best Buy, Amazon.com, GameStop, EB Games, select Wal-Marts, Circuit City, Comp USA and numerous others.
On July 5, 2007, we obtained an exclusive license to sell three (3) PC games featuring Charlie Church Mouse to the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) market from Lifeline Studios, Inc., the developer and original publisher. On June 30, 2009, we expanded our license agreement for Charlie Church Mouse PC Games to include all markets and distribution channels worldwide.
On May 20, 2008, we acquired the publishing and distribution rights to the PC game, “Keys of the Kingdom.” This new game features brain-teasing dynamics and inspirational scriptures. We agreed to pay the author a royalty of fifteen percent (15%) of gross profits.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we raised $147,379 through the sale of common stock to from certain accredited investors under several different formats. We continue to generate operating losses and have only just begun to generate revenues.
Furthermore, the report by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our financial statements includes a paragraph describing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern” as of and for the year ended March 31, 2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Revenues
We recorded net revenues of $22,805 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $60,552 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. This represented a decline in our revenues of $37,747, or 62%. The revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2009 were from a mix ofLeft Behind: Eternal Forces, Left Behind:Tribulation Forces,three Charlie Church Mouse (“CCM”) games andKeys of the Kingdom.
No significant amount of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 came from a large retail customer. However, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, 51% of our revenue came from our largest retail customer.
Our revenue declined primarily because (a) we record our revenues based primarily on sell through at major retailers and cash receipts from our Christian bookstore and other customers and (b) we had a significantly larger presence in a number of major retailers with reported sellthrough in the 2008 period compared to the 2009 period where almost all of our shipments were to the Christian bookstore marketplace. We expect to report the revenue related from those shipments to the Christian bookstore marketplace as we collect those accounts receivable in later periods.
Cost of Sales - Product Costs
We recorded cost of sales - product costs of $12,751 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $30,415 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. This represented a decline in our cost of sales – predict costs of $17,664, or 58%. The decrease in cost of sales – product costs was due to the decrease in recognized revenue noted above. Cost of sales - product costs consists of product costs and inventory-related operational expenses.
21
Cost of Sales – Intellectual Property Licenses
We recorded cost of sales – intellectual property licenses of $4,187 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $2,475 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. This represents an increase in our intellectual property costs of $1,712, or 69%.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $563,747 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $800,867 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $237,120, or 30%.
Many of these general and administrative expenses were non-cash charges since we paid many of our consultants in shares of our common stock rather than in cash. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded expenses relating to these non-cash payments to consultants of $150,437 and $90,567, respectively. This represented a $59,870 increase.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we also recognized $86,150 in deferred stock-based compensation as certain consultants earned previously deferred stock-based compensation.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at approximately $60,000 to employees as additional compensation while in the three months ended June 30, 2008, we issued 75,000 shares of common stock, valued at approximately $1,500, to certain employees as additional compensation. This represented an increase of $58,500. The overall increase in non-cash charges attributable to consultants and employees was $204,520.
Excluding those non-cash charges, our general and administrative expenses declined by $441,640 from the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in general and administrative was due to our headcount reductions and overall focus on reducing our expenditures.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses were $1,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $51,127 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $49,527. These decreases are directly attributable to the reduction in the number of employees working on our development team and a reduction in consulting fees from outside contractors involved in game development and testing.
Interest Expense
We recorded interest expense of $273,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $143,344 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our interest expense primarily arose from the accretion of debt discounts of $240,072 as well as interest expense associated with various notes payable.
Net Loss
As a result of the above factors, we reported a net loss of $832,680 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $972,496 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, resulting in a reduced loss of $139,816. In addition, our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2009 totaled $44,834,316.
CASH REQUIREMENTS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2009 we had $18,696 of cash compared to $7,778 of cash at March 31, 2009, an increase of $10,918. At June 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $3,307,749 compared to a working capital deficit of $3,643,117 at March 31, 2009.
Operating Activities
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $136,461 and $333,268, respectively. The $196,807 decrease in cash used in our operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in our general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses as we reduced our expenditures to conserve cash. The net losses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $832,680 and $972,496, respectively, a decrease of $139,816.
Investing Activities
We did not have any investing activities for the three month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008.
22
Financing Activities
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $147,379 and $331,690, respectively. The primary element of cash provided by financing activities in the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was raised through the sale of common stock and in the three month period ended June 30, 2008, through borrowings under notes payable.
Future Financing Needs
Since our inception in August 2002 through June 30, 2009, we have raised approximately $10 million through funds provided by private placement offerings and convertible notes. This was sufficient to enable us to develop our first product and expand our product line to include 6 games. Although we expect this trend of financing our business through private placement offerings to continue, we can make no guarantee that we will be adequately financed going forward. However, it is also anticipated that in the event we are able to continue raising funds at a pace that exceeds our minimum capital requirements, we may elect to spend cash to expand operations or take advantage of business and marketing opportunities for our long-term benefit. Additionally, we intend to continue to use equity whenever possible to finance marketing, public relations and development services that we may not otherwise be able to obtain without cash.
We have reduced our staff in order to preserve cash. This personnel reduction does not negatively impact our game development because of our use of outsourcing. This structure allows us to expand the size of our development team on a product-by-product basis without substantially increasing our long-term monthly burn-rate of cash.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock and through the issuance of debt instruments. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we raised $147,379 through the sale of common stock to certain accredited. We continue to generate operating losses.
Furthermore, the report by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our financial statements includes a paragraph describing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern” as of and for the year ended March 31, 2009.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have suffered continuing losses from operations, are in default on certain debt, have negative working capital of approximately $3,307,749, which, among other matters, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A significant amount of additional capital will be necessary to advance the development and distribution of our products to the point at which they may generate sufficient gross profits to cover our operating expenses. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which management believes may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements (consisting of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and amounts due under various notes payable) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. Therefore, we will be required to seek additional funds to finance our long-term operations.
We are currently addressing our liquidity issue by continually seeking investment capital through the public markets, specifically, through private placements of common stock and debt. However, no assurance can be given that we will receive any funds in addition to the funds we have received to date.
The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
23
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, however, in the past the estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate and have not required any significant changes. Specific sensitivity of each of the estimates and assumptions to change based on other outcomes that are reasonably likely to occur and would have a material effect is identified individually in each of the discussions of the critical accounting policies described below. Should we experience significant changes in the estimates or assumptions which would cause a material change to the amounts used in the preparation of our financial statements, material quantitative information will be made available to investors as soon as it is reasonably available.
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Software Development Costs.Research and development costs, which consist of software development costs, are expensed as incurred. Software development costs primarily include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements. SFAS No. 86,Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, provides for the capitalization of certain software development costs incurred after technological feasibility of the software is established or for the development costs that have alternative future uses. We believe that the technological feasibility of the underlying software is not established until substantially all product development is complete, which generally includes the development of a working model. No software development costs have been capitalized to date.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the present value of estimated future cash flows. At December 31, 2008, our management believes there is no impairment of our long-lived assets other than the lease-hold improvements of its abandoned office space and certain trademark costs both of which have been written off in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. There can be no assurance however; that market conditions will not change or that there will be demand for our products, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Stock-Based Compensation. Effective April 1, 2006, on the first day of our fiscal year 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payments, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted and not yet vested prior to April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates . As of March 31, 2008, we had no options outstanding and therefore believe the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had an immaterial effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
We calculate stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model. Our determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards are made as of their respective dates of grant using the option pricing model and that determination is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. The Binomial Lattice option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because our employee stock options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of our employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The calculated compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the option.
24
Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. We account for stock-based awards to non-employees by using the fai r value method.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-18,Accounting Recognition for Certain Accounting Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the common stock issued for certain future consulting services as prepaid expenses in its consolidated balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition.We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9,Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactionsand Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104,Revenue Recognition. We evaluate revenue recognition using the following basic criteria and recognize revenue when all four of the following criteria are met:
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists: Evidence of an agreement with the customer that reflects the terms and conditions to deliver products must be present in order to recognize revenue.
·
Delivery has occurred: Delivery is considered to occur when the products are shipped and risk of loss and reward have been transferred to the customer.
·
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable: If an arrangement includes rights of return or rights to refunds without return, revenue is recognized at the time the amount of future returns or refunds can be reasonably estimated or at the time when the return privilege has substantially expired in accordance with SFAS No. 48,Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists. If an arrangement requires us to rebate or credit a portion of our sales price if the customer subsequently reduces its sales price for our product to its customers, revenue is recognized at the time the amount of future price concessions can be reasonably estimated, or at the time of customer sell-through.
·
Collectibility is reasonably assured: 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).
For sales to our large retail customers, we defer revenue recognition until the resale of the products to the end customers, or the “sell-through method.” Under sell-through revenue accounting, accounts receivable are recognized and inventory is relieved upon shipment to the channel partner or retail customer as title to the inventory is transferred upon shipment, at which point we have a legally enforceable right to collection under normal terms. The associated sales and cost of sales are deferred by recording “deferred income – product sales” (gross profit margin on these sales) as shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. When the related product is sold by our primary channel partner or our largest retail customer to their end customers, we recognize previously deferred income as sales and cost of sales. Our large retail customers provide us with sell-through information on a frequent basis regarding sales to end customers and in-cha nnel inventories.
For sales to our on-line store customers, revenues are deferred until such time as the right of return privilege granted to the customers lapses, which is thirty (30) days from the date of sale for unopened games.
For sales to our Christian bookstore customers and all other customers that cannot provide us with sell-through information and for which we may accept product returns from time to time, revenues are recognized on a cash receipts basis.
In the future, we intend to continue using the sell-through methodology from customers that supply us with sell through reports. We also plan to continue recognizing sales on our on-line store after a one month lag to allow for the right that we have given our on-line customers to return unopened games for thirty (30) days.
25
We continue to accumulate historical product return and price concession information related to our Christian bookstore customers and all other customers. In future periods, we may elect to return to the accrual methodology of recording revenue for those customers upon shipment with estimated reserves at which time we believe we can reasonably estimate returns and price concessions to these customers based upon our historical results.
Revenue from Sales of Consignment Inventory. We have placed consignment inventory with certain customers. We receive payment from those customers only when they sell our product to the end consumers. We recognize revenue from the sale of consignment inventory only when we receive payment from those customers.
Shipping and Handling: In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-10,Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, we recognize amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as revenue. Additionally, shipping and handling costs incurred by us are included in cost of goods sold.
Historically, we promoted our products with advertising, consumer incentive and trade promotions. Such programs include, but are not limited to, cooperative advertising, promotional discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, volume based incentives and product introductory payments (i.e. slotting fees). In accordance with EITF No. 01-09,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or Reseller of the Vendors Products, certain payments made to customers by us, including promotional sales allowances, cooperative advertising and product introductory expenditures have been deducted from revenue. During the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we had no such types of arrangements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We presently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as to whether such disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on our evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that since our evaluation as of March 31, 2008 we have had no significant changes in our internal controls.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Since our evaluation as of March 31, 2009 we have had no significant changes in our internal controls.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business.
On April 3, 2009, Beta Winchester LLP was granted a judgment for $40,137.60. However, we believe that their attorney neglected to inform the judge that they are holding $45,000 of corporate funds as a deposit. Accordingly, we do not believe this issue to be material and are seeking a remedy in court. Company’s counsel and Beta Winchesters counsel have come to terms to resolve this dispute.
On July 25, 2009, Xerox Corporation filed suit against the Company for $67,000, representing full payment of two three year operating leases we have on two Xerox WorkCentre systems. The Company has disputed Xerox’s refusal to service the systems under the terms of the lease. Company’s counsel and counsel representing Xerox have come to terms to resolve this dispute.
26
We are currently not involved in any other litigation or any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

We also issued 4,000,000 and 75,000 shares of common stock, valued at $60,000 and $1,500 (based on the closing price on the respective grant date), respectfully, to certain employees as additional compensation.
Also, during the three month period ended June 30, 2009, certain of our investors converted notes payable to 182,724,997 shares of our common stock at various conversion prices, reducing our debt by $678,493.
