LEFT BEHIND GAMES INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED 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 our first video game, which was based upon the popular LEFT BEHIND series of novels published by Tyndale House Publishers (“Tyndale”), and as of November 2006, we began commercially selling our first 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, creators of our PRAISE CHAMPION and KING SOLOMON branded games. And in 2011, we significantly expanded our product offerings with next generation quality games for all ages including Bible Quest: Journey Through Genesis, Charlie Church Mouse 3D Bible Adventures 2, King Solomon’s Word Games, King Solomon’s Trivia Challenge 2, Praise Champion 2, Scripture Chess and Left Behind 4: World at War.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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 in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011. 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, 2012.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash at March 31, 2011, was comprised of $30,000 that we had deposited into an escrow account with a law firm. We agreed to hold these funds in escrow as support for future compensation as a condition to hiring a key game developer. We used those funds to pay that key game developer in the six months ended September 30, 2011, and the restricted cash balance at September 30, 2011, was $100.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As defined in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2011. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

NOTE 2 – 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 LFBG as a going concern. We have started generating revenue but have incurred net losses of $2,814,292 during the six months ending September 30, 2011, and had an accumulated deficit of $73,684,461 at September 30, 2011. In addition, we used cash in our operations of $478,423,during the six months ending September 30, 2011.
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 fiscal 2012 to fund ongoing business operations and potential business combinations.
7
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 LFBG 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 September 30, 2011, of $2,354,441.

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 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 six months ending September 30, 2011, we issued the following:
(1)
2,379,010,470 shares of common stock to independent third parties for services provided, valued at $1,163,501.
(2)
591,814,805 shares of common stock to accredited investors for cash proceeds of $195,312.
(3)
100,000 shares of common stock to convert outstanding debt and settle accounts payable with a total value of $150.
(4)
400,000,000 shares of common stock were issued under conversions of $25,000 of convertible notes originally issued for services during fiscal 2011.
(5)
809,829,437 shares of common stock under warrant exercises at strike prices ranging from $0.00000005 to $0.0002. The warrants were issued in exchange for contributions to our treasury stock of 5,300,000 shares by the warrant holders.
8
Of the 1,806,258,009 warrants issued during the September 2011 period, 1,390,000,000 warrants were accounted for as compensatory issuances and carried compensation expense of $768,381. The remaining 416,258,009 warrants were accounted for as a component of stock purchases and carried no compensation expense.
Anti-dilution 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 shares equal to one percent of such issuance to Charter Financial Holdings, LLC to maintain their ownership percentage.

In the six months ended September 30, 2011, we repaid one individual loan in the amount of $30,000 and borrowed an additional $158,200 in loans from individuals. Those loans bear interest at five percent, are unsecured and are due six months from the date of the advance.
During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received $105,436 from two investors for stock subscriptions. Under the terms of the subscriptions, no shares are to be issued until the Company effects a reverse stock split and has sufficient authorized shares to effectuate the sale. Until the reverse stock split occurs, the Company will carry the funds received as a liability.
During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the holder of the two year convertible note converted $150 in principal into shares of 100,000 shares of common stock. Additionally, we issued 400,000,000 shares for conversion of $25,000 of convertible debt originally issued for services during fiscal 2011.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Game Development Agreement
In August of 2011, the Company entered into a Game Development Agreement with a lead game developer for future services. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will issue the lead game developer $120,000 in common shares monthly for six months. In addition, the Company will issue the lead game developer a non-recoupable bonus equal to $314,000 in common stock to be paid over 12 months beginning January 1, 2012. The lead game developer will also receive a 10% royalty, payable based upon any “net profits” of the products he develops. In September of 2011, the Company issued 700,000,000 shares of common stock to the lead game developer for the first monthly payment.
The lead game developer will also receive a 10% royalty, payable based upon any “net profits” of the products he develops.
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 Nevada. 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.
Anti-dilution Rights for 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 LFBG 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. We record the fair value of the additional shares of common stock issued under this provision as consulting expense in the period they are earned. See Note 4.
10
Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with of our chief executive officer. This contract provides for minimum annual salaries and is renewable annually. In the event of termination of this employment agreement by LFBG without cause, we would be required to pay continuing salary payments for specified periods in accordance with the employment contract. Effective October 2009, our CEO, Troy Lyndon, had chosen not to receive a salary. However, the Board of Directors agreed on February 13, 2011, to provide him a base salary of $5,000 per month on a going-forward basis.
Leases
We operate in a 4,355 square foot sales and distribution facility in Temecula, California under a sublease agreement through October 2011. Its cost is $2,919 per month. Our lease ends each October and is renewable each year for 2 years at a similar lease rate.
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 in a legal settlement, our former landlord applied our $45,270 deposit to resolve the amount owed.
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, within 30 days from the end of each month, the 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.
Charlie Church Mouse License
In July 2007, we obtained an exclusive license to sell three (3) PC games featuring Charlie Church Mouse (“CCM”) to the CBA market from the publisher of the CCM games. The CCM games are educational software programs utilizing Bible stories designed for pre-school, kindergarten and early elementary age children. Under the license, we pay the author a royalty of twenty percent of gross margin collected from our customers. On May 12, 2010, we acquired the entire Charlie Church Mouse brand.
Keys of the Kingdom License
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 of gross margin collected from our customers.
Integrity Music License
We have a licensing agreement for songs distributed through Integrity Music. According to the license agreement, the term it has acquired is for the life of the product (Praise Champion) and beyond the initial 5,000 unit advance, we shall pay a 10% royalty for all music in each game title which uses the licensed music.
11
Payroll Taxes
As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we owed accrued payroll taxes of $392,038 and $326,294, respectively, to various governmental authorities. This is a significant offense with the U.S. government to which we may face significant penalties and operations could be harmed should the U.S. government wish to enforce its rights to collect the payroll taxes and that our officers and directors, both past and present, are potentially liable for penalties.
Rule 144
During fiscal 2010, we had arrangements with two consultants which were terminated with an effective date of September 30, 2010. We have evaluated the structure of these consulting agreements and the Company has since filed a 10-A letter with the SEC requesting assistance to determine whether or not the consulting arrangement complied with and did not violate any SEC rules & regulations. As a matter of process, the SEC has issued subpoenas to such consultant and the company and is expected to hear details from both parties in the coming months, at which point the Company will communicate the SEC’s findings with investors.
Litigation
We are subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business.
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 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
As of September 30, 2011, the Company did not have sufficient authorized common shares to settle all of its convertible notes and outstanding warrants. As a result, in accordance with ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”, the Company must classify all of its share-settleable instruments as liabilities. These instruments will be recorded at their fair values and re-measured at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value reported in earnings. As of September 30, 2011, the Company reclassified $96,251 from additional paid-in capital to liabilities. This amount represents the fair value of the conversion options embedded in its notes payable described in Note 6 and its outstanding warrants described in Note 5, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of September 30, 2011.
The following outlines the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2011:
Risk free interest rate | 0.15% - 1.91% |
Average expected life | 0.75 – 6.75 years |
Expected volatility | 252% - 276% |
Expected dividends | None |
12
NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 7, 2011, the Company granted 375,000,000 common stock shares to employees as compensation for services.
On October 11, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to convert a current liability of $605,000 into a promissory note with an annual interest rate of 3% and a term of 24 months.

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.”

Assets
At September 30, 2011, our total assets were $406,565, compared to $544,002 at March 31, 2011.
Liabilities
At September 30, 2011, our total liabilities were $2,706,018, compared to $2,078,870 at March 31, 2011. This $627,148 increase was primarily due to a $209,786 increase in notes payable used to finance our operations and a $255,154 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010
Revenues
We recorded net revenues of $6,252 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $182,976 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This represented a decrease in our revenues of $176,724, or 97%. During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, approximately 94% of our sales arose from cash receipts from a new customer which focused on distribution to non-profit organizations. There were no sales to that customer in the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Cost of Sales - Product Costs
We recorded cost of sales - product costs of $46,258 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $121,947 in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This represented a decrease in our cost of sales – product costs of $75,689, or 62%. The decrease in cost of sales – product costs was due to the decrease 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 $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,178 in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in cost of sales – intellectual property licenses was due to the decrease in revenues noted above coupled with our acquisition of the Charlie Church Mouse brand, which obviates our need to pay royalties for sales of games with that brand name.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $95,479 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $126,854 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $31,375.

Consulting and professional fees were $625,413 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $695,292 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $69,879. Both periods had non-cash charges for the fair value of stock based compensation to consultants.
16
Wages and Salaries
We had wages and salaries expense to employees and directors of $871,070 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $211,306 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The $659,764 increase was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $714,893.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses were $106,434 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $253,237 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $146,803. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in new game development expenses.
Interest Expense (Income)
We recorded interest expense of $5,065 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $6,061 in the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $996. Interest expense in the September 2011 period consists of the contractual coupons on our notes payable and $936 in amortization of debt discount on our two year convertible note.
Net Loss
As a result of the above factors, we reported a net loss of $1,744,267 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $1,235,466 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, our accumulated deficit at September 30, 2011, totaled $73,764,461.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Months Ended September 30, 2010
Revenues
We recorded net revenues of $30,889 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $222,872 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. This represented a decrease in our revenues of $191,983, or 86%. During the six month period ended September 30, 2010, $187,200 or approximately 81% of our sales arose from cash receipts from a new customer which focused on distribution to non-profit organizations. We recorded $10,000 of sales to that customer in the 2011 period. The remainder of our revenue in both periods came from our master distributor, from cash receipts from the Christian bookstore or church markets or from on-line sales.
Cost of Sales - Product Costs
We recorded cost of sales - product costs of $51,670 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $135,188 in the six months ended June 30, 2010. This represented a decrease in our cost of sales – product costs of $83,518, or 62%. The decrease in cost of sales – product costs was due to the decrease 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 $92 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $2,571 in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in cost of sales – intellectual property licenses was due to the decrease in revenues noted above coupled with our acquisition of the Charlie Church Mouse brand, which obviates our need to pay royalties for sales of games with that brand name.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $206,850 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $260,039 for the six months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $53,189. The majority of this decrease arose from a reduction in our advertising and marketing expenses of $23,670 as our limited cash resources in the 2011 period constrained our ability to market our games to the level of the prior period.
17
Consulting and Professional Fees
Consulting and professional fees were $1,076,697 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2,193,315 for the six months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,116,618. Both periods had non-cash charges for the fair value of stock based compensation to consultants. The 2011 period had a $349,918 charge attributable to the fair value of the warrants issued to one of our law firms for past and current services and the 2010 period had a $1,725,841 charge related to convertible debt for services arrangements with several of our consultants. The 2011 period did not have any such charges for the convertible debt for services arrangements. The charges in the 2011 period largely related to the fair value of warrants issued for compensation to service providers.
Wages and Salaries
We had wages and salaries expense to employees and directors of $1,308,933 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $333,046 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. The $975,887 increase is due to a $736,637 increase in stock-based compensation to employees and a $37,500 reversal of an accrual in the 2010 period relating to a settlement to a previous employee.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses were $270,005 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1,446,131 for the six months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,176,126. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in new game development expenses.
Interest Expense
We recorded interest expense of $10,134 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to ($16,005) in the six months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $26,139. Interest expense in the September 2010 period was a negative number as the result of an internal analysis of our accrued interest, which led to a reversal of certain accruals that were determined to no longer be due. Interest expense in the September 2011 period consists of the contractual coupons on our notes payable and $1,200 in amortization of debt discount on our two year convertible note.
Net Loss
As a result of the above factors, we reported a net loss of $2,894,292 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $4,148,265 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, our accumulated deficit at September 30, 2011, totaled $73,764,461.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2011, we had $5,605 of cash compared to $21,180 of cash at March 31, 2011, a decrease of $15,575. At September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $2,354,441, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,633,122 at March 31, 2011.
Operating Activities
For the six month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $478,423 and $572,346, respectively. The net losses for the six month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $2,894,292 and $4,148,265, respectively, a decrease of $1,253,973.
Investing Activities
We did not invest in fixed assets during the six month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to an investment of $17,672 in the 2010 period.
18
Financing Activities
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $428,948 and $553,568, respectively. The primary elements of cash provided by financing activities in both periods were the sale of common stock and borrowings under notes payable.
Future Financing Needs
Since our inception in August 2002 through September 30, 2011, we have raised approximately $15 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 18 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. We will need to continue raising capital through privately placed offerings in order to continue our operations over the next 12 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 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.
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 six months ended September 30, 2011, we raised $195,312 of cash through the sale of common stock to certain accredited investors. We continue to generate operating losses. We are currently authorized to issue up to 10 billion shares of common stock. To date, 9,687,928,710 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding. In addition, we are obligated to issue an aggregate of 975,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock. In order to raise additional capital through the issuance of shares of common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock, we decided to increase our authorized common stock by filing an Information Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
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, 2011.
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 $73,764,461. We have suffered continuing losses from operations and have negative working capital of $2,354,441, 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, 2012. 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.
19
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 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. 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 September 30, 2011, 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.
20
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, 2008, 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.
·
Collectability 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).
21
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-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.
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 six months ended September 30, 2011, 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.
The disclosure required under this item is not required to be reported by small reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and principal financial officer (“PFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
