LEFT BEHIND GAMES INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
Left Behind Games, Inc., a Nevada corporation, conducts all of its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Left Behind Games, Inc. d/b/a Inspired Media Entertainment (herein referred to as the “Company”, “LFBG”, “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms). LFBG was founded on December 31, 2001 and incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 22, 2002 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 popular LEFT 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 license (the “License”) from Tyndale to develop, manufacture and distribute video games and related products based on the LEFT BEHIND series of novels published by Tyndale. Additionally, we have acquired ownership of the Charlie Church Mouse brand from Lifeline Studios and all assets of Cloud9Games management of both organizations continue as exclusive developers for some of our new products.
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. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included i n our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010. 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, 2011.
ADVERTISING COSTS
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company expensed $132,856 of advertising costs.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
NOTE 2 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT ISSUED FOR SERVICES
The arrangement with consultant #1 below was terminated with an effective date of September 30, 2010. During the preparation of this 10-Q, the Company’s new audit firm identified errors in the accounting for these consulting arrangements that led to a restatement of previously issued financial statements. The company is also evaluating the structure of these consulting agreements to determine whether or not the consulting arrangement complied with the SEC rules & regulations. Accordingly, the Company has hired legal counsel to evaluate the agreement and request an interpretation from the SEC to ensure that there was no violation of the SEC rules or regulations.
7
April 2009 Consulting Arrangement – Consultant #1
On September 2, 2008, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement (the “2008 Consulting Agreement”) with a consultant (the “Consultant”) pursuant to which, in exchange for services rendered by the Consultant to the Company, the Consultant received an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. In April of 2009, the Company added an addendum to 2008 Consulting Agreement (the “First Addendum”) whereby the Consultant also earned $10,000 per month for the services rendered and received an additional 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The First Addendum also provided that Consultant had the right to convert the monies owed under the amended consulting agreement into shares of common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.005 no later than March 31, 2010. In April of 2009, the Company added a second addendum to the 2008 Consulting Agreement (the “Second Addendum ”) whereby the conversion rate was reduced to $0.001 per share. All other terms remained the same. In April of 2009, the parties entered into the third addendum to the 2008 Consulting Agreement (the “Third Addendum”) whereby the Consultant agreed that in the event the Consultant sold common stock of the Company at a rate exceeding 10,000,000 shares per 30 calendar day period, the Consultant would pay the Company an early-sell fee for each period of $100,000 or an amount equally agreed upon by the Company and Consultant.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company received $98,000 in fees from the consultant under this provision. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company received $708,669 under this provision. The Company recorded these fees against additional paid-in capital.
On July 23, 2009, the Company replaced the 2008 Consulting Arrangement with a new automatically renewable six month consulting agreement (the “2009 Consulting Agreement”) whereby the Consultant earned a sales commission but not less than $40,000 per month in exchange for services rendered. The 2009 Consulting Agreement also stated that if during the term of such agreement, the Company does not pay the Consultant as scheduled, the Consultant shall have the choice to accept such monies owed at a later date or to convert such amounts owed into common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.001 per share, in the Consultant’s sole discretion.
On April 7, 2010, the Company replaced the 2009 Consulting Agreement with a new automatically renewable six month consulting agreement (the “2010 Consulting Agreement”) whereby the Consultant earned $10,000 per month in consideration for services rendered. The 2010 Consulting Agreement also provided that in the event the Company does not pay the Consultant as scheduled, each such amount due shall become a stock purchase transaction with an effective date equal to the day of any such missed payment. The stock purchase agreement provided that the Consultant was purchasing shares at a rate of $0.0001 per share.
January 2010 Consulting Arrangement – Consultant #2
In January of 2010, the Company entered into a development arrangement whereby a consultant earned $5,000 per month for services rendered. If the invoice was not paid at the end of the service month, the consultant has the option to receive shares at a conversion rate of $0.0000625 per share. Consequently, at the end of each month, the amount due under the consulting agreement becomes a convertible note. The note is not secured and has no other terms of repayment.
September 2010 Consulting Agreement – Consultant #3
In September of 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to issue a $142,500 convertible note for services rendered. The note is convertible into common stock at $0.001425 per share. The note is not secured and has no other terms of repayment.
Accounting
In determining the fair value of the convertible debt issued for services, the Company followed guidance in ASC 470-20-30 “Convertible Instruments Issued to Nonemployees for Goods and Services.” Under ASC 470-20-30, convertible instruments issued for services are to be valued using the measurement date as determined under ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” In addition, ASC 470-20-30 provides guidance on determining fair value of convertible instruments issued for services as follows: (1) Fair value of services if determinable (2) Cash received for similar convertible instruments sold to unrelated parties or (3) At a minimum, the value of the equity that could be received if the instrument were converted. The Company determined that the fair value of the common stock that could be received if the debt were converted was the best measure of fair value in the above transactions. Accordingly t he value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, as determined by ASC 505-50, was used to determine the fair value of the convertible debt.
The Company estimated the fair value of the convertible notes issued to the consultants for services during the six months ended September 30, 2010 to be $3,345,780 and recorded this amount as consulting expense. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, $493,438 of the convertible debt was converted into 915,000,000 shares of common stock and the consultants had an outstanding convertible debt balance of $74,063.
8
During the year ended March 31, 2010, $80,000 of the convertible debt was converted into 100,000,000 shares of common stock and the consultant had an outstanding convertible debt balance of $280,000.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
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 $4,015,340 during the nine months ending December 31, 2010 and had an accumulated deficit of $63,882,519 at December 31, 2010. In addition, we used cash in our operations of $630,129 during the nine months ending December 31, 2010.
We plan to continue to control and reduce costs where necessary while focusing on the expansion of our product line on more consumer platforms to expand our business. Management plans to continue to raise additional capital in 2011 to fund ongoing business operations and potential business combinations.
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 condensed 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.
We had a working capital deficit at December 31, 2010 of $1,205,476.

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 shares equal to one percent of such issuance to Charter Financial Holdings, LLC to maintain their ownership percentage. Charter Financial Holdings, LLC is not required to pay additional consideration for those shares.

THE COMPANY
Left Behind Games Inc., a Nevada corporation, conducts all of its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Left Behind Games Inc. d/b/a Inspired Media Entertainment (herein referred to as the “Company”, “LFBG”, “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms). LFBG 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 a number of brands and licenses, including 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 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., a Nevada (formerly Washington) corporation, 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 of Bonanza Gold, Inc. to Left Behind Games, Inc. We are currently doing business under the name “Inspired Media Entertainment.”
13
Due to the high impact of the brand name “Left 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 also operating under our dba, 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 game features brain-teasing dynamics and inspirational scriptures. We agreed to pay the author a royalty of fifteen percent (15%) of gross profits.
On April 13, 2010, we amended our License Agreement with Lifeline Studios through which we purchased the exclusive rights to the Charlie Church Mouse brand from Lifeline Studios in exchange for a payment due by September 30, 2010 of $200,000 in cash or 100 million shares of common stock in the Company. We subsequently elected to issue the 100 million shares of restricted common stock for the purchase.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we raised $713,568 through the sale of common stock to 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, 2010.
On September 3, 2010, we filed an Information Statement, which noted that the majority of voting shares of the company had authorized an increase of authorized shares from 3 billion to 5 billion.
On October 17, 2010, we entered into a Binding Letter of Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cloud 9 Games and Curtis Ratica, the President of Cloud 9 Games.

In consideration for the assets, we agreed to pay Mr. Ratica a nominal amount of cash and to enter into a three year employment agreement with Mr. Ratica pursuant to which Mr. Ratica shall serve as our Executive Director of Development (Austin).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Assets
At December 31, 2010, our total assets were $720,374, compared to $539,390 at March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cash from $56,677 at March 31, 2010 to $138,560 at December 31, 2010 attributable to our sales activity and $713,568 raised through the sale of common stock, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets from $6,048 at March 31, 2010 to $183,591 at December 31, 2010 attributable to prepaying for participation in upcoming trades shows and for marketing campaign targeted to run over a number of quarters.
Liabilities
At December 31, 2010, our total liabilities were $1,776,787, compared to $2,720,245 at March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable from $1,730,224 at March 31, 2010 to $978,523 at December 31, 2010 and accrued expenses of $620,301 at March 31, 2010 compared to $505,035 at December 31, 2010.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
Revenues
We recorded net revenues of $1,136,266 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $52,868 in the three months ended December 31, 2009. This represented an increase in our revenues of $1,083,398. During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, our primary distributor accounted for approximately 88% of our revenue. That distributor paid us in cash for the games it purchased and they have no right of return. The remainder of our revenue came from our master distributor, from cash receipts from the Christian bookstore or church markets or from on-line sales. Revenues grew as interest in our products increased substantially resulting from our largest expansion in company history; growing from 7 to 11 products in a three month period. And we supported the release of these 4 new titles with our largest national television, radio and movie theatre advertising campaign in 5 years. This product expansion was made possible as a result of s trategic relationships resulting from our acquisitions of the Charlie Church Mouse brand and Cloud 9 Games’ assets, and our continuing efforts to publish products from these developers.
The revenues from our master distributor were reduced by a number of deductions under our distribution agreement totaling $478,135, as follows:
Cost of new inventory, distribution fees, MDF, defective allowance and sales commissions | $ | 475,636 |
Samples for sales team |

Cost of Sales - Product Costs
We recorded cost of sales - product costs of $73,219 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $11,372 in the three months ended December 31, 2009. This represented an increase in our cost of sales – product costs of $61,847, or 544%. The increase in cost of sales – product costs was due to the increase in revenues noted above. Cost of sales - product costs consists of product costs and inventory-related operational expenses.

Consulting expense to consultants was $76,532 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $3,513,513 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This represented a decrease in our consulting expenses of $3,436,981. These expenses were for product development, marketing and investor relations services.
Wages and Salaries
We had wages and salaries expense to employees and directors of $269,128 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $3,727,831 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is due to less stock based compensation during the 2010 period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $424,883 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $323,474 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $101,409.

Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses were $65,121 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $26,967 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $38,154. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to new game developments.
Interest Expense
We recorded interest expense of $3,076 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $27,499 in the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $24,423. The reduction was due to the significant decrease in our notes payable, which have largely converted to common stock. Our interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on outstanding debts and the, accretion of the debt discounts related to zero coupon notes and, in the 2009 period, amortization of debt issuance costs.
Net Loss
As a result of the above factors, we reported a net profit of $124,323 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $7,593,609 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. In addition, our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2010 totaled $63,882,519.

This represented an increase in our cost of sales – product costs of $170,128, or 444%. The increase in cost of sales – product costs was due to the increase in revenues noted above. Cost of sales - product costs consists of product costs and inventory-related operational expenses.
Cost of Sales – Intellectual Property Licenses
We recorded cost of sales – intellectual property licenses of $59,203 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $16,609 in the nine months ended December 31, 2009. This represents an increase in our intellectual property costs of $42,594, or 256%. The increase in cost of sales – intellectual property licenses was due to the increase in revenues noted above.
Consulting
Consulting expense was $2,001,305 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $6,612,070 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. This represented a decrease in our stock based compensation to consultants of $4,610,765. These expenses were for product development, marketing and investor relations services.
Wages and Salaries
We had stock wages and salaries to employees and directors of $864,615 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $3,948,004 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is due to less stock based compensation during the 2010 period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $677,136 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $463,986 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $213,150. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our business in the past year, which includes additional staff and the maintenance of our product line which expanded from 7 to 11 products.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses, were $1,511,252 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $76,928 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,421,812. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to new game developments.
17
Interest Expense
We recorded interest income of $(12,929) for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $525,971 in the nine months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $538,900. Our interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on outstanding debts and the, accretion of the debt discounts related to zero coupon notes and, in the 2009 period, amortization of debt issuance costs. Due to the conversion to common stock of the majority of our notes payable, our interest expense was significantly lower in the 2010 period. We also recognized interest income during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 due to the reversal of an interest over-accrual in the prior fiscal year.
Net Loss
As a result of the above factors, we reported a net loss of $4,015,340 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $11,609,389 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. In addition, our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2010 totaled $63,882,519.
CASH REQUIREMENTS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2010, we had $138,329 of cash compared to $56,677 of cash at March 31, 2010, an increase of $81,652 largely due to the amount of cash used in our operating activities exceeding the amount that we raised through the private sales of our common stock to “accredited investors”. At December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $1,205,476 compared to a working capital deficit of $2,319,369 at March 31, 2010.
Operating Activities
For the nine month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $630,129 and $1,385,730, respectively. The net losses for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $4,015,340 and $11,609,389, respectively, a decrease of $7,594,049.
Investing Activities
We invested $47,725 in fixed assets during the nine month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to $2,457 in the 2009 period.
Financing Activities
For the nine month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, net cash provided by financing activities was $759,506 and $1,605,639, respectively. The primary element of cash provided by financing activities in both periods was the sale of common stock.
Future Financing Needs
Since our inception in August 2002 through December 31, 2010, we have raised approximately $14 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 11 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. We do not currently have enough capital to sustain our operations for the next 12 months, of which there can be no assurance. We will need to continue raising capital through privately placed offerings in order to continue our operations over the next twelve months. 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 m arketing 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.
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 nine months ended December 31, 2010, we raised $734,506 of cash through the sale of common stock to certain accredited investors. 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, 2010.
18
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. Since our inception, we have an accumulated deficit of $63,882,519. We have suffered continuing losses from operations, are in default on certain debt, have negative working capital of $1,205,476, 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 requireme nts (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, 2011. 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.
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 ot her 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. Accounting standards provide 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, 2010, 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 re sult in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
19
Stock-Based Compensation. Effective April 1, 2006, on the first day of our fiscal year 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the accounting standards applied at that time, 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 accounting standards, 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 accounting standards. Accounting standards 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, 20 08, we had no options outstanding and therefore believe the adoption of this accounting standard had an immaterial effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with accounting standards. 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 fair value method.
In accordance with accounting standards, 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 accounting standards. 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 cu stomers and in-channel 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.
20
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 accounting standards, 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 accounting standards, certain payments made to customers by us, including promotional sales allowances, cooperative advertising and product introductory expenditures have been deducted from revenue.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we recorded the following deductions from our revenues:
Cost of new inventory, distribution fees, MDF, defective allowance and sales commissions | $ | 482,907 |
Samples for sales team |
| 2,499 |
Total Deductions | $ | 485,406 |
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we recorded the following deductions from our revenues:
Manufacturing costs paid by our distributor | $ | 32,332 |
Cost of presenting at vendor show |
| 1,500 |
Retail program deductions |
| 11,684 |
Cost of games returned to distributor |
| 2,076 |
Total Deductions | $ | 47,592 |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We presently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The disclosure required under this item is not required to be reported by small reporting companies; as such term is defined by Item 503(e) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, our management is required to perform an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period.
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2010, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Report was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions for Form 10-Q.
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures had the following deficiency:
21
We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our business operations due to our reliance on a single individual fulfilling the role of both our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our interim or annual financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties. Accordingly we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Until such time as we retain the services of a Principal Financial Officer, the above-described deficiency will exist. We intend to hire a Principal Financial Officer in the future as our Company grows and we have sufficient capital to pay such individual.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
