To: Superscape Shareholders and, for information only, to Superscape Option Holders
Dear Superscape Shareholder,
RECOMMENDED CASH OFFER FOR SUPERSCAPE BY GLU
1. Introduction
On 23 January 2008, the Boards of Glu and Superscape announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by Glu for the entire issued share capital of Superscape at a price of 10 pence per Superscape Share.
The purpose of this letter is to set out the background to the Offer and the reasons why the Superscape Directors, who have been so advised by Close Brothers, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable and unanimously recommend that you accept the Offer as they have irrevocably undertaken to do (or to procure to be done) in respect of their entire beneficial shareholdings comprising, in aggregate 2,329,698 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 1.27 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Superscape. In providing advice to the Superscape Directors, Close Brothers has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Superscape Directors.
2. The terms of the Offer
The Offer, which is being made on the terms and the conditions set out in Appendix I to this document and in the Form of Acceptance, is for the entire issued share capital of Superscape on the following basis:
The Offer values the existing issued share capital of Superscape at approximately £18.3 million and represents a premium of approximately:
- •
- 29.0 per cent. to the Closing Price of 7.75 pence per Superscape Share on 22 January 2008, being the last Business Day prior to the date of the Announcement;
- •
- 51.5 per cent. to the Closing Price of 6.60 pence per Superscape Share on 28 November 2007, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period; and
- •
- 73.7 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 5.76 pence per Superscape Share for the one month ended 28 November 2007, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period.
The Superscape Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Offer will be acquired fully paid and free from all liens, equities, charges, mortgages, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights or interests whatsoever and together with all rights attaching thereto on or after the date of the Announcement, including voting rights and, without limitation, the right to receive and retain in full all
5
dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid on or after the date of the Announcement.
3. Background to and reasons for recommending the Offer
Superscape was formed in 1993 and was admitted to the Official List in 1994. Since then, Superscape's focus has been to build on its core strengths of technical expertise, creativity and innovation in the 3D technology and tools arena. Over the past decade, this marketplace has evolved rapidly and a growing opportunity in mobile gaming has developed. In response to this opportunity, Superscape has adapted its business model. In recent years, Superscape's strategy has de-emphasised its technology and tools business and focused instead on building and publishing a portfolio of successful mobile gaming titles and increasing the proportion of titles which are based on Superscape's own intellectual property.
In recent months, the Superscape Directors have been mindful that Superscape's share price performance has been impaired, in their view, by a number of factors, including the company's relatively small scale and resultant illiquidity. Consequently, the Superscape Board has had cause to weigh both the costs and benefits of maintaining an independent London listing, with the potential (but uncertain) future growth in equity value for investors, against the certainty of the immediate and significant premium for Superscape being offered by a potential offeror such as Glu.
Accordingly, following an approach by Glu, the Superscape Directors have held detailed discussions regarding the terms of a potential acquisition of Superscape by Glu. The Superscape Directors believe that the strategic rationale for a combination with Glu is attractive. The Offer represents a significant premium of 51.5 per cent. to the Closing Price of 6.60 pence per Superscape Share on 28 November 2007 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period) and the Superscape Directors believe that the Offer is in the best interests of Superscape Shareholders.
4. Current trading
The following extracts have been taken from Superscape's trading update which was released on 18 January 2008:
"Ahead of Superscape's financial year end of 31 January 2008, the Board of Superscape is pleased to announce that trading to date in the fourth quarter has been in line with the Board's expectations.
Superscape has been notified by one of its handset manufacturer customers that the volume of handset sales embedding Superscape licensed games reported by the manufacturer to Superscape may require adjustment. To the extent that this does require adjustment, it will have an effect on the revenues and gross margins for the third quarter. Superscape is taking steps to clarify the situation."
5. Irrevocable undertakings
Glu has received irrevocable undertakings to accept, or procure the acceptance of, the Offer from the Superscape Directors in respect of their entire beneficial shareholdings amounting to, in aggregate, 2,329,698 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 1.27 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Superscape.
Glu has also received irrevocable undertakings to accept, or procure the acceptance of, the Offer from certain other Superscape Shareholders in respect of, in aggregate, 42,386,054 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 23.15 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Superscape. Furthermore, Glu has received a letter of intent to accept the Offer in respect of 17,470,478 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 9.54 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Superscape.
Accordingly, Glu has received irrevocable undertakings and a letter of intent to accept, or procure the acceptance of, the Offer in respect of, in aggregate, 62,186,230 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 33.96 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Superscape.
Further details of the irrevocable undertakings and the letter of intent are set out in paragraph 6 of Appendix IV to this document.
6
6. Intentions regarding Superscape and employees of Superscape
Glu attaches great importance to the skills and experience of the current management team and employees of Superscape and is optimistic that they will make a valuable contribution to the future of the combined business.
Accordingly, Glu intends to continue to maintain Superscape's strong market position in the United States and its position as one of the leading white label publishers. In order to ensure a successful combination, Glu will assess all aspects of the combined business, including the benefits of maintaining or modifying the location of certain business functions and/or whether it is beneficial to re-allocate certain fixed assets. Glu has, however, given assurances to the Superscape Directors that, upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, the existing employment rights of Superscape Group management, including Kevin J Roberts (Chief Executive Officer) and Dave Goodman (Chief Financial Officer) and employees will continue to be safeguarded and pension obligations complied with.
The non-executive Superscape Directors have agreed to resign from the Superscape Board following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and will be paid in full in respect of their notice periods.
7. Superscape Share Option Schemes
The Offer extends to any Superscape Shares unconditionally allotted or issued and fully paid whilst the Offer remains open for acceptance (or by such earlier time and/or date as Glu may, subject to the Code, determine) including any such shares allotted or issued and fully paid as a result of the exercise of options under the Superscape Share Option Schemes.
Glu will make appropriate proposals in due course to Superscape Option Holders.
8. Mutual break fees
In consideration of Glu committing time and personnel to due diligence in connection with the Offer and as an inducement to Glu to make the Offer, Superscape has agreed to pay to Glu a break fee of £179,997.50 (inclusive of any VAT unless recoverable), on the first to occur of any of the following events:
- (a)
- after the date of the Announcement all or a majority of Superscape's Directors withdraw or modify their recommendation of the Offer in a manner adverse to Glu and thereafter the Offer is not made or is made but lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms; or
- (b)
- after the date of the Announcement but before the Offer lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms: (i) a Competing Offer is recommended by the Superscape Directors or (ii) a definitive agreement is executed with a third party (other than Glu or any of its Associates or any person acting in concert with Glu) which is consummated and results in the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Superscape and as a result the Offer is not made or is made but lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms.
The break fee will not be payable if, prior to the occurrence of any of the trigger events set out above, either Glu is no longer willing or able to proceed with the Offer or the reverse break fee (detailed below) is payable.
For the purpose of this paragraph 8, Competing Offer means a takeover offer pursuant to section 974 of the Companies Act 2006 by or on behalf of a third party (other than Glu or any of its Associates or any person acting in concert with Glu) or a scheme of arrangement pursuant to section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 between Superscape and all or some of its members where the effect of such scheme is to vest the entire issued share capital of Superscape in a third party (other than Glu or any of its Associates or any person acting in concert with Glu).
Glu has also agreed to pay Superscape a reverse break fee of a sum equal to one per cent. of the Offer value if, following the making of the Announcement, the Offer lapses or is withdrawn as a result of a failure to satisfy any of the conditions of the Offer which are substantially in the control of Glu or the shareholders of Glu.
Nothing in the break fee letter shall oblige Superscape to pay any amount which the Panel determines would not be permitted by Rule 21.2 of the Code.
7
Pursuant to Rule 21.2 of the Code, Close Brothers and Superscape have confirmed to the Panel that they consider the terms of the break fee to be in the best interests of Superscape Shareholders.
9. Compulsory acquisition, delisting and cancellation of trading
Your attention is drawn to paragraph 12 of Part II of this document in relation to Glu's intentions regarding the compulsory acquisition of Superscape Shares, the cancellation of listing of Superscape Shares on the Official List and the cancellation of admission to trading of Superscape Shares on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities and the re-registration of Superscape as a private limited company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
10. United Kingdom taxation
Your attention is drawn to paragraph 13 of Part II of this document. If you are in any doubt about your own tax position or the action you should take, you should consult an appropriately qualified independent financial adviser immediately.

Lazard, which is acting as financial adviser to Glu, is satisfied that Glu has the necessary financial resources available to satisfy full acceptance of the Offer. Full acceptance of the Offer, based on 183,098,860 Superscape Shares in issue at the date of this document would involve a maximum cash payment of approximately £18.3 million.
6. Background to and reasons for the Offer
Glu believes the acquisition of Superscape will provide Glu with a number of benefits, including adding meaningful scale to its existing business in the United States, demonstrated leadership in 3D games and technology, and a talented and enthusiastic team with experience in mobile games.
7. Information on Superscape
Superscape was founded in 1993 and has since become a leading publisher of 3D games for use on mobile phones. The company combines highly creative teams of game developers with in-depth technical knowledge of game creation and a dedicated R&D team specialising in 3D graphics tools and technology.
11
These characteristics have led to Superscape being selected to deliver 3D games to market for a number of network operators, including Verizon, Alltel, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.
Superscape is now ranked among the top 5 North American mobile games publishers according to the Nielsen Mobile Research Report for Q3 2007. It has risen to this position in the rankings just 5 months after entering the top 10 in April 2007.
Superscape develops games based on its own original ideas as well as on brands and other intellectual property it licenses from third parties such as 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios, Sony Pictures Mobile and Global Wireless Entertainment. Games developed based on Superscape's own original ideas include Gum Blox, Capone Casino, Sudoku, Paintball Challenge and Classic Mini Golf. Games developed based on licensed brands or other intellectual property include Alien versus Predator, Fox Motocross, AMF Extreme Bowling, Dodgeball, Fight Club, Harlem Globetrotters and Independence Day.
Superscape has implemented several innovative programs to drive revenue and profitability. These programs include a white label partnership with Verizon Wireless, a mobile gaming community initiative with Alltel and, as a result of Superscape's heritage and expertise with 3D tools and technology, long-standing collaboration with many of the leading handset manufacturers such as Motorola and Nokia.
Superscape has approximately 135 employees and has its headquarters in San Clemente, California, USA as well as offices in Fleet, Hampshire, UK, and Moscow, Russia. Its shares started trading on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange on 27 April 1994.
For the year ended 31 January 2007, Superscape had revenues of £8.3 million (2006: £4.0 million) and operating loss before exceptional items of £3.6 million (2006: £9.8 million loss). As at 31 July 2007, the total assets of Superscape were US$22.9 million (2006: US$30.8 million), net assets were US$18.4 million (2006: US$22.1 million) and net cash was US$10.7 million (2006: US$16.0 million).
8. Intentions regarding Superscape and employees of Superscape
Glu attaches great importance to the skills and experience of the current management team and employees of Superscape and is optimistic that they will make a valuable contribution to the future of the combined business.
Accordingly, Glu intends to continue to maintain Superscape's strong market position in the United States and its position as one of the leading white label publishers. In order to ensure a successful combination, Glu will assess all aspects of the combined business, including the benefits of maintaining or modifying the location of certain business functions and/or whether it is beneficial to re-allocate certain fixed assets. Glu has, however, given assurances to the Superscape Directors that, upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, the existing employment rights of Superscape Group management, including Kevin J Roberts (Chief Executive Officer) and Dave Goodman (Chief Financial Officer) and employees will continue to be safeguarded and pension obligations complied with.
The non-executive Superscape Directors have agreed to resign from the Superscape Board following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and will be paid in full in respect of their notice periods.
9. Superscape Share Option Schemes
The Offer extends to any Superscape Shares unconditionally allotted or issued and fully paid whilst the Offer remains open for acceptance (or by such earlier time and/or date as Glu may, subject to the Code, determine) including any such shares allotted or issued and fully paid as a result of the exercise of options under the Superscape Share Option Schemes.
Glu will make appropriate proposals in due course to Superscape Option Holders.
10. Interests in Superscape Shares
As at 24 January 2008, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this document and save for the irrevocable undertakings and letter of intent referred to in paragraph 6 of Appendix IV of this document, neither Glu nor, so far as Glu is aware, any person deemed to be acting in concert (as defined in the Code) with Glu owned, controlled or held any Superscape Shares or any securities convertible or exchangeable into, or rights to subscribe for or purchase, or held any options to purchase any Superscape Shares or had entered into any derivative referenced to Superscape Shares which remained outstanding. In the interests
12
of confidentiality prior to the publication of this document, Glu has not yet made any enquiries in this respect of certain parties who may be presumed for the purposes of the Code to be acting in concert with Glu in relation to the Offer.
11. Mutual break fee
In consideration of Glu committing time and personnel to due diligence in connection with the Offer and as an inducement to Glu to make the Offer, Superscape has agreed to pay to Glu a break fee of £179,997.50 (inclusive of any VAT unless recoverable), on the first to occur of any of the following events:
- (a)
- after the date of the Announcement all or a majority of Superscape's Directors withdraw or modify their recommendation of the Offer in a manner adverse to Glu and thereafter the Offer is not made or is made but lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms; or
- (b)
- after the date of the Announcement but before the Offer lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms: (i) a Competing Offer is recommended by the Superscape Directors or (ii) a definitive agreement is executed with a third party (other than Glu or any of its Associates or any person acting in concert with Glu) which is consummated and results in the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Superscape and as a result the Offer is not made or is made but lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms.
The break fee will not be payable if prior to the occurrence of any of the trigger events set out above, either Glu is no longer willing or able to proceed with the Offer or the reverse break fee (detailed below) is payable.
For the purpose of this paragraph 11, Competing Offer means a takeover offer pursuant to section 974 of the Companies Act 2006 by or on behalf of a third party (other than Glu or any of its Associates or any person acting in concert with Glu) or a scheme of arrangement pursuant to section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 between Superscape and all or some of its members where the effect of such scheme is to vest the entire issued share capital of Superscape in a third party (other than Glu or any of its Associates or any person acting in concert with Glu).
Glu has also agreed to pay Superscape a reverse break fee of a sum equal to one per cent. of the offer value if, following the date of this document the Offer lapses or is withdrawn as a result of a failure to satisfy any of the conditions of the Offer which are substantially in the control of Glu or the shareholders of Glu.
Nothing in the break fee letter shall oblige Superscape to pay any amount which the Panel determines would not be permitted by Rule 21.2 of the Code.
Pursuant to Rule 21.2 of the Code, Close Brothers and Superscape have confirmed to the Panel that they consider the terms of the break fee to be in the best interests of Superscape Shareholders.
12. Compulsory acquisition, delisting and cancellation of trading
Upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, Glu intends to apply the provisions of sections 979 to 991 (inclusive) of the Companies Act 2006 to acquire compulsorily all remaining Superscape Shares on the same terms as the Offer.
It is Glu's intention that, following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, Glu will procure that Superscape applies to the UK Listing Authority for the cancellation of listing of Superscape Shares on the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of admission to trading of Superscape Shares on its market for listed securities. Such cancellation of listing and admission to trading will take effect no earlier than 20 Business Days after the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.
The cancellation of listing and admission to trading of Superscape Shares would significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Superscape Shares not assented to the Offer and their value may be affected as a consequence.
It is also proposed that, following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, Glu will seek to procure the re-registration of Superscape as a private limited company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
13
13. United Kingdom taxation
The following paragraphs, which are intended as a general guide only, are based on current legislation and HMRC practice at the date of this document and summarise certain limited aspects of the United Kingdom taxation treatment of acceptance of the Offer. They relate only to the position of Superscape Shareholders who are resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes, who hold their Superscape Shares as an investment and who are absolute beneficial owners of their Superscape Shares. The statements may not apply to certain classes of Superscape Shareholders, such as market makers, brokers, dealers in securities, intermediaries, persons connected with depositary arrangements or clearance services, persons regarded as having obtained their Superscape Shares by reason of their employment, or Superscape Option Holders. This section is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or taxation advice to any particular Superscape Shareholder.Any Superscape Shareholders who are in doubt as to their tax position or who are subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should consult their own independent financial advisers immediately.
- (a)
- United Kingdom taxation of chargeable gains
Liability to United Kingdom taxation on chargeable gains will depend on the individual circumstances of Superscape Shareholders.
To the extent that a Superscape Shareholder accepts the Offer in respect of that Superscape Shareholder's Superscape Shares, in the event that the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional, the subsequent sale of those shares for cash consideration will be treated as a disposal or part disposal of those shares for the purposes of United Kingdom taxation on chargeable gains. Such a disposal could, depending on the base cost of the relevant Superscape Shares, give rise to a chargeable gain or an allowable loss. To the extent that a chargeable gain is realised, a liability to tax may arise depending on the Superscape Shareholder's individual circumstances (including the availability of exemptions, reliefs and allowable losses). To the extent that an allowable loss is realised, it may be possible to offset that loss against other chargeable gains accruing to the Superscape Shareholder in the current year of assessment or in future years of assessment.
A Superscape Shareholder who is an individual, who has, on or after 17 March 1998, ceased to be resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes for a period of less than five complete tax years and who disposes of his or her Superscape Shares during that period may be liable on his or her return to the United Kingdom to United Kingdom tax on any chargeable gain realised (subject to any available exemption or relief). This rule also applies to individuals who have not ceased to be resident or ordinarily resident in the UK but who, on or after 16 March 2005, have become non-UK resident pursuant to the application of a double taxation treaty.
Shareholders should note that in the Pre-Budget Report on 9 October 2007, proposed changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) rules were announced. If enacted, these changes will affect non-corporate Superscape Shareholders who dispose of Superscape Shares after 5 April 2008. Under the proposals, for disposals made after that date, the current rates of CGT will be replaced by a single flat-rate (18% for tax year 2008-09) and certain reliefs, including taper relief, will cease to be available. Any Superscape Shareholder who is in any doubt about his tax position as a result of these changes should consult an appropriate independent professional adviser immediately.
- (b)
- Stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax (SDRT)
No stamp duty or SDRT will generally be payable by Superscape Shareholders as a result of accepting the Offer.
- (c)
- Share options
Superscape Shareholders such as Superscape Option Holders who have acquired or who acquire their Superscape Shares by exercising options or through awards granted under the Superscape Share Option Schemes are reminded that special tax provisions may apply to them, including provisions imposing a charge to income tax and employees' national insurance contributions.
14. Overseas shareholders
The attention of all Superscape Shareholders who are citizens, nationals or residents of jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom or the United States and any persons (including, without limitation, any
14
custodians, nominees or trustees) who would, or otherwise intend to, forward this document or the Form of Acceptance outside the United Kingdom or the United States is drawn to paragraph 5 of Part B of Appendix I, as well as to the relevant provisions of the Form of Acceptance.
The availability of the Offer to Superscape Shareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom or the United States may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are citizens. Such persons should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of those jurisdictions.If you are in any doubt about your position or the action you should take, you should consult an appropriate financial adviser.

- (d)
- Procedure for acceptance of the Offer for Superscape Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST)
If your Superscape Shares are in uncertificated form, you should take (or procure the taking of) the action set out below to transfer the Superscape Shares in respect of which you wish to accept the Offer to an escrow balance (that is, aTTE instruction) specifying Capita Registrars (in its capacity as a CREST participant under its participant ID referred to below) as the Escrow Agent as soon as possible and, in any event, so that the transfer to escrow settles no later than 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 15 February 2008.
If you are a CREST sponsored member, you must refer to your CREST sponsor before taking any action. Your CREST sponsor will be able to confirm details of your participant ID and the member account ID under which your Superscape Shares are held. In addition, only your CREST sponsor will be able to send the required TTE instruction to Euroclear in relation to your Superscape Shares.
You should send (or, if you are a CREST sponsored member, procure that your CREST sponsor sends) a TTE instruction to Euroclear which must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and which must contain, in addition to the other information that is required for a TTE instruction to settle in CREST, the following details:
- •
- the number of Superscape Shares to be transferred to an escrow balance;
- •
- your member account ID;
- •
- your participant ID;
- •
- the member account ID of the Escrow Agent. This is GLUSUP01;
- •
- the participant ID of the Escrow Agent. This is RA10;
- •
- the Corporate Action ISIN number for the offer. This is GB0008636127;
- •
- the intended settlement date. This should be as soon as possible and in any event not later than 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 15 February 2008;
- •
- the Corporate Action Number for the Offer. This is allocated by Euroclear and can be found by viewing the relevant corporation action details in CREST;
- •
- the contact name and telephone number inserted in the shared note field; and
- •
- the standard TTE instruction of priority 80.
After settlement of the TTE instruction, you will not be able to access the Superscape Shares concerned in CREST for any transaction or charging purposes. If the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, the Escrow Agent will transfer the Superscape Shares concerned to itself in accordance with paragraphs (d) and (e) of Part C of Appendix I to this document.
You are recommended to refer to the CREST Manual published by Euroclear for further information on the CREST procedures outlined above.
You should note that Euroclear does not make available procedures in CREST for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in connection with a TTE instruction and its settlement. You should therefore ensure that all necessary action is taken by you (or by your CREST sponsor) to enable a TTE instruction relating to your Superscape Shares to settle prior to 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 15 February 2008. In this regard, you are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
Glu will make an appropriate announcement if any of the details contained in this paragraph (d) alter for any reason in any respect that is, in the view of Glu, material to Superscape Shareholders.
- (e)
- Deposits of Superscape Shares into, and withdrawals of Superscape Shares from, CREST
Normal CREST procedures (including timings) apply in relation to any Superscape Shares that are, or are to be, converted from uncertificated to certificated form, or from certificated to uncertificated form,
16
during the course of the Offer (whether any such conversion arises as a result of a transfer of Superscape Shares or otherwise). Holders of Superscape Shares who are proposing so to convert any such Superscape Shares are recommended to ensure that the conversion procedures are implemented in sufficient time to enable the person holding or acquiring the Superscape Shares as a result of the conversion to take all necessary steps in connection with an acceptance of the Offer (in particular, as regards delivery of share certificate(s) and/or other document(s) of title or transfers to an escrow balance as described above) prior to 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 15 February 2008.
- (f)
- Validity of acceptance
A form of acceptance which is received in respect of Superscape Shares held in uncertificated form will not constitute a valid acceptance and will be disregarded. Holders of Superscape Shares in uncertificated form who wish to accept the Offer should note that a TTE instruction will only be a valid acceptance of the Offer as at the relevant closing date if it has settled on or before that date.
If you are in any doubt as to the procedure for acceptance, please contact Capita Registrars by telephone on 0871 664 0321 (or, if calling from outside the UK, on +44 20 8639 3399).

- (a)
- Superscape Shares in certificated form (that is, not in CREST)
Where an acceptance relates to Superscape Shares in certificated form, settlement for any cash due will be despatched by first class post (or by such other method as may be approved by the Panel) to accepting Superscape Shareholders or their appointed agents (but not in or into Canada, Australia, Japan or any other jurisdiction in which such act would constitute a violation of the relevant laws of such jurisdiction). All such cash payments will be made in Pounds Sterling by cheque drawn on a branch of a UK clearing bank.
In the case of joint holders of Superscape Shares, relevant cheques will be despatched to the joint holder whose name appears first in the register of members.
- (b)
- Superscape Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST)
Where an acceptance relates to Superscape Shares in uncertificated form, the cash consideration to which the accepting Superscape Shareholder is entitled will, except in limited circumstances, be paid in Pounds Sterling by means of CREST by Glu procuring the creation of an assured payment obligation in favour of the accepting Superscape Shareholder's payment bank in respect of the cash consideration due, in accordance with CREST assured payment arrangements.
Glu reserves the right to settle all or any part of the consideration, for all or any accepting Superscape Shareholder(s), in the manner referred to in paragraph (a) above, if for any reason it wishes to do so.
- (c)
- General
If the Offer does not become or is not declared unconditional in all respects (a) in the case of Superscape Shares held in certificated form, share certificate(s) and/or other document(s) of title will be returned by
17
post (or such other method as may be approved by the Panel) within 14 days of the Offer lapsing, to the person or agent whose name and address (outside Canada, Australia, Japan or any other jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful to make the Offer) is set out in Box 1, Box 2 or, if different, Box 5 of the Form of Acceptance or, if none is set out, to the first named or sole holder at his or her registered address; and (b) in the case of Superscape Shares held in uncertificated form, Capita Registrars will, immediately after the lapsing of the Offer (or within such longer period, not exceeding 14 days after the Offer has lapsed, as the Panel may approve), give TFE instructions to Euroclear to transfer all relevant Superscape Shares held in escrow balance and in relation to which Capita Registrars is the Escrow Agent for the purpose of the Offer to the original available balances of the Superscape Shareholders concerned.
All documents and remittances delivered or sent by, to or from Superscape Shareholders or their appointed agents will be delivered or sent at their own risk and may be sent by post.
17. Dealing disclosure requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is or becomes "interested" (directly or indirectly) in one per cent. or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Superscape, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Superscape (including by means of an option in respect of or a derivative referenced to any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the Offer Period otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Superscape, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Code.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Superscape by Glu or Superscape or by any of their respective "associates" must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed and the number of such securities in issue can be found on the Panel's website atwww.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of securities or by virtue of any option in respect of or derivative referenced to securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8 of the Code, you should consult the Panel.

Subject to the requirements of the Panel, Glu reserves the right at its absolute discretion to waive, in whole or in part, all or any of the above conditions, except condition (a).
The Offer will lapse unless all the above conditions are fulfilled or (if capable of waiver) waived or, where appropriate, determined by Glu in its reasonable opinion to have been or remain satisfied by midnight on the day which is 21 days after the later of the First Closing Date and the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances (or such later date as Glu may, with the consent of the Panel or in accordance with the Code, decide). Glu shall be under no obligation to waive or treat as satisfied any of conditions (b) to (g) inclusive by a date earlier than the date specified above for the satisfaction thereof, notwithstanding that the other conditions of the Offer may at such earlier date have been waived or fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no circumstances indicating that any of such conditions may not be capable of fulfilment.
If Glu is required by the Panel to make an offer for any Superscape Shares under Rule 9 of the Code, Glu may make such alterations to the above conditions as are necessary to comply with that Rule.
The Offer will lapse (unless the Panel otherwise consents) if, before the First Closing Date or the date when the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances (whichever is the later), the Offer, or any aspect of it, is referred to the Competition Commission.
If the Offer lapses, the Offer will cease to be capable of further acceptance and those Superscape Shareholders who have, as at the time of such lapse, accepted the Offer shall then cease to be bound by their acceptances of the Offer submitted at or before the time when the Offer lapses.
The Offer will be governed by the applicable requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws, English law, the rules and regulations of the Financial Services Authority, the Panel and the Code and be subject to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.
The availability of the Offer to persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or the United States may be affected by the laws of the jurisdiction in which such persons are resident. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or the United States should inform themselves about, and observe, all applicable requirements.

- (i)
- it announces the withdrawal as soon as possible and in any event within four Business Days of the firm announcement of the competing offer;

- (f)
- For the purposes of determining whether the acceptance condition has been satisfied, Glu will not be bound (unless otherwise required by the Panel) to take into account any Superscape Shares which have been issued or unconditionally allotted or which arise as the result of the exercise of subscription or conversion rights before that determination takes place unless written notice containing relevant details of the allotment, issue, subscription or conversion has been received from Superscape or its agents before that time by Glu or Capita Registrars on behalf of Glu at the address specified in paragraph 3(a) of this Part B.

Such announcement will also state (unless otherwise permitted by the Panel) the total number of Superscape Shares and rights over Superscape Shares (as nearly as practicable):
- (i)
- for which acceptances of the Offer have been received (showing the extent, if any, to which such acceptances have been received from persons acting or deemed to be in concert (for the purposes of the Code and in relation to the Offer) with Glu);
- (ii)

The announcement will also state the next expiry date unless the Offer is unconditional, in which case it may instead state that the Offer will remain open until further notice.

3. Rights of withdrawal
- (a)
- If Glu, having announced the Offer to be unconditional, fails by 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the relevant day (or such later time and/or date as the Panel may agree) to comply with any of the other relevant requirements specified in paragraph 2(a) above, an accepting certificated Superscape Shareholder may (unless the Panel otherwise agrees) immediately after that time withdraw his
26
acceptance of the Offer by written notice signed by the accepting Superscape Shareholder (or his agent duly appointed in writing and evidence of whose appointment, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Glu, is produced with the notice) given by post or by hand (by hand during normal business hours only) to Capita Registrars, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, UK on behalf of Glu. Subject to paragraph 1(c) above, this right of withdrawal may be terminated not less than eight calendar days after the relevant day by Glu confirming, if that be the case, that the Offer is still unconditional and complying with the other relevant requirements specified in paragraph 2(a) of this Part B. If any such confirmation is given, the first period of 14 calendar days referred to in paragraph 1(d) above will run from the date of that confirmation and compliance.
- (b)
- If by 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 7 March 2008 (or such later time and/or date as the Panel may agree) the Offer has not become unconditional, an accepting Superscape Shareholder may withdraw his acceptance at any time thereafter in the manner referred to in paragraph 3(a) above, before the earlier of:
- (i)
- the time that the Offer becomes unconditional; and
- (ii)
- the final time for lodgement of acceptances which can be taken into account in accordance with paragraph 1(c) above.
- (c)
- If a "no extension" and/or "no increase" statement is withdrawn in accordance with paragraph 1(e) above, any acceptance made by a Superscape Shareholder after the date of that statement may be withdrawn thereafter in the manner referred to in paragraph 3(a) above for a period of eight calendar days following the date on which the notice of the withdrawal of such statement is posted to Superscape Shareholders.
- (d)
- Except as provided by this paragraph 3 acceptances of the Offer will be irrevocable.
- (e)
- In this paragraph 3,written notice (including any letter of appointment, direction or authority) means notice in writing bearing the original signature(s) of the relevant accepting Superscape Shareholder or his/their agent(s) duly appointed in writing (evidence of whose appointment in a form reasonably satisfactory to Glu is produced with the notice). Telex, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic transmissions or copies will not be sufficient.
- (f)
- In the case of Superscape Shares held in uncertificated form, if withdrawals are permitted pursuant to paragraphs 3(a), (b) or (c) above, an accepting Superscape Shareholder may withdraw his acceptance through CREST by sending (or, if a CREST sponsored member, procuring that his CREST sponsor sends) an ESA instruction to settle in CREST in relation to each Electronic Acceptance to be withdrawn. Each ESA instruction must, in order for it to be valid and settle, include the following details:
- •
- the number of Shares to be withdrawn, together with their ISIN number, which is GB0008636127;
- •
- the member account ID of the accepting shareholder, together with his participant ID;
- •
- the member account ID of the Escrow Agent included in the relevant Electronic Acceptance, which is GLUSUP01, together with the Escrow Agent's participant ID, which is RA10;

- the intended settlement date for the withdrawal;
- •
- the corporate action number for the Offer which is allocated by Euroclear and can be found by viewing the relevant corporate action details in CREST; and
- •
- input with standard delivery instruction priority of 80.
Any such withdrawal will be conditional upon Capita Registrars verifying that the withdrawal request is validly made. Accordingly, Capita Registrars will, on behalf of Glu, reject or accept the withdrawal by transmitting in CREST a receiving agent reject (AEAD) or receiving agent accept (AEAN) message.
4. Revised Offer
- (a)
- Although no such revision is envisaged, if the Offer (in its original or any previously revised form(s)) is revised (either in its terms or conditions or in the value or form of the consideration offered or
27
otherwise), and any such revised Offer represents on the date on which the revision is announced (on such basis as Glu may consider appropriate) an improvement (or no diminution) in the value of the consideration of the Offer as so revised compared with the value of the consideration or terms previously offered, or in the overall value received by a Superscape Shareholder (under or in consequence of the Offer or otherwise), the benefit of the revised Offer will, subject to paragraphs 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) and 5 of this Part B, be made available to any Superscape Shareholder who has validly accepted the Offer in its original or any previously revised form(s) and who has not validly withdrawn such acceptance (aPrevious Acceptor). The acceptance by or on behalf of a Previous Acceptor of the Offer in its original or any previously revised form(s) shall, subject to paragraphs 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) and 5 of this Part B, be deemed to be an acceptance of the Offer as so revised and will also constitute an authority to Glu or any of its respective directors, authorised representatives and agents as his attorney and/or agent (attorney):
- (i)
- to accept any such revised Offer on behalf of such Previous Acceptor;
- (ii)
- if such revised Offer includes alternative forms of consideration, to make on his behalf elections for and/or accept such alternative forms of consideration on his behalf in such proportions as such attorney in his absolute discretion thinks fit; and
- (iii)
- to execute on behalf of and in the name of such Previous Acceptor all such further documents and take such further actions (if any) as may be required to give effect to such acceptances and/or elections.
In making any such acceptance or making any such election, the attorney will take into account the nature of any previous acceptances and/or elections made by the Previous Acceptor and such other facts or matters as he may reasonably consider relevant.
- (b)
- Glu reserves the right (subject to paragraph 4(a) above) to treat an executed Form of Acceptance relating to the Offer in its original or any previously revised form(s) which is received (or dated) on or after the announcement or issue of the Offer in any revised form as a valid acceptance of the revised Offer (and, where applicable, a valid election for the alternative form(s) of consideration). Such acceptance will constitute an authority in the terms of paragraph 4(a) above,mutatis mutandis, on behalf of the relevant Superscape Shareholder.
- (c)

- (a)
- The making of the Offer in, or to certain persons who are resident in, or citizens or nationals of, jurisdictions outside the UK or the United States or to custodians, nominees of or trustees for such persons, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Superscape Shareholders who are residents, citizens or nationals of jurisdictions outside the UK or the United States should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of any such person wishing to accept the Offer to satisfy himself as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required and compliance with other necessary formalities. Any such overseas shareholder will be responsible for the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in that jurisdiction of whomsoever payable and Glu and any person acting on its behalf shall be fully indemnified and held harmless by such overseas shareholder for any such issue, transfer or other taxes as such person may be required to pay.If you are an overseas shareholder and you are in doubt about your position, you should consult your professional adviser in the relevant jurisdiction immediately.
- (b)
- If a Superscape Shareholder holding Superscape Shares in uncertificated form is unable to give the warranty set out in paragraph (b)(ii) of Part D of this Appendix I, but nevertheless can provide evidence satisfactory to Glu that he is able to accept the Offer in compliance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements, he may only purport to accept the Offer by sending (or, if a CREST sponsored member, procuring that his CREST sponsor sends) both a TTE instruction to a designated escrow balance detailed below (a "Restricted Escrow Transfer") and one or more valid ESA instructions (each a "Restricted ESA instruction"). Such purported acceptance will not be treated as a valid acceptance unless the Restricted Escrow Transfer settles in CREST and Glu decides, in its absolute discretion, to exercise its right described in this paragraph 5 below to waive, vary or modify the terms of the Offer relating to overseas shareholders, to the extent required to permit such acceptance to be made during the acceptance period set out in paragraph 1 above. If Glu decides to permit such acceptance to be made, Capita Registrars will on behalf of Glu accept the purported acceptance as an Electronic Acceptance on the terms of this document (as so waived, varied or modified) by transmitting in CREST a receiving agent accept (AEAN) message. Otherwise, Capita Registrars will on behalf of Glu reject the purported acceptance by transmitting in CREST a receiving agent reject (AEAD) message. Each Restricted Escrow Transfer must, in order for it to be valid and settle, include the following details:
- •
- the ISIN number for the Superscape Shares, this is GB0008636127;

- •
- the number of Superscape Shares in respect of which the Offer is to be accepted;
- •
- the member account ID and participant ID of the Superscape Shareholder;
- •
- the participant ID of the Escrow Agent (this is RA10) and its member account ID specific to a Restricted Escrow Transfer (this is RESTRICT);
- •
- the corporate action number of the Offer which is allocated by Euroclear and can be found by viewing the relevant corporate action details in CREST;
- •
- input with a standard delivery instruction priority of 80;
- •
- the contact name and telephone number inserted into the shared note field; and
- •
- the intended settlement date.
Each Restricted ESA instruction must, in order for it to be valid and settle, include the following details:

- the ISIN number for the Superscape Shares, this is GB0008636127;
- •
- the number of Superscape Shares relevant to that Restricted ESA instruction;
- •
- the member account ID and participant ID of the accepting Superscape Shareholder;
- •
- the member account ID and participant ID of the Escrow Agent set out in the Restricted Escrow Transfer;
- •

The provisions of this paragraph 5 and/or any other terms of the Offer relating to overseas shareholders may be waived, varied or modified as regards specific Superscape Shareholder(s) or on a general basis by Glu in its absolute discretion.

Financial statements which may be included in the document, if any, may have been prepared in accordance with foreign accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.
- (b)
- It may be difficult for Superscape Shareholders to enforce their rights and any claim Superscape Shareholders may have arising under the federal securities laws, since some or all of Glu's officers and directors may be residents of a foreign country.
- (c)
- You should be aware that Glu and its officers, directors and "affiliates" as defined under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Affiliates), Lazard and its Affiliates, any advisor to Glu and its officers, directors or Affiliates or to Lazard or its Affiliates (including those whose compensation is dependent on the completion of the Offer) and any person acting, directly or indirectly, in concert with any of the aforementioned persons, in connection with any purchase or arrangement to purchase any Superscape securities or any related securities, may purchase securities otherwise than under the Offer, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.

30
7. General
- (a)
- Except with the consent of the Panel, the Offer will lapse unless all the conditions relating to the Offer have been fulfilled or (if capable of waiver) waived, or, where appropriate, have been determined by Glu to be, and continue to be, satisfied by midnight (London time) on 7 March 2008 or by midnight (London time) on the date which is 21 days after the date on which the Offer becomes unconditional, whichever is the later, or such later date as Glu, with the consent of the Panel, may decide.
- (b)
- If the Offer lapses, it will cease to be capable of further acceptance and accepting Superscape Shareholders and Glu will cease to be bound by Forms of Acceptance submitted before the time the Offer lapses.
- (c)
- If sufficient acceptances under the Offer are received and/or sufficient Superscape Shares are otherwise acquired, Glu intends to apply the provisions of sections 974 to 991 of the Companies Act 2006 to acquire compulsorily any outstanding Superscape Shares to which the Offer relates.
Furthermore, Glu will procure that Superscape applies to the UK Listing Authority for the cancellation of listing of Superscape Shares on the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of admission to trading of the Superscape Shares on its market for listed securities. Such cancellation of listing and admission to trading will take effect no earlier than 20 Business Days after the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.
The cancellation of listing and admission to trading of the Superscape Shares would significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Superscape Shares not assented to the Offer.
- (d)
- Except with the consent of the Panel, settlement of the consideration to which any Superscape Shareholder is entitled under the Offer will be implemented in full in accordance with the terms of the Offer without regard to any lien, right of set-off, counterclaim or other analogous right to which Glu may otherwise be, or claim to be, entitled as against such Superscape Shareholder and will be effected:
- (i)
- in the case of acceptances received, complete in all respects (including the relevant transfer to escrow or (as applicable) receipt of relevant share certificate(s) and/or other documents of title or indemnities satisfactory to Glu) by the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, within 14 calendar days of such date; or
- (ii)
- in the case of acceptances of the Offer received, complete in all respects, after the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, but while it remains open for acceptance, within 14 calendar days of such receipt.
All cash payments (other than payments made by means of CREST) will be made by cheque drawn on a branch of a UK clearing bank. No consideration will be sent to an address in Canada, Australia, Japan or any other jurisdiction in which such act would constitute a violation of the relevant laws of such jurisdiction.
- (e)
- Notwithstanding the right reserved by Glu to treat a Form of Acceptance as valid (even though not entirely in order or not accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and/or other documents of title, or not accompanied by the relevant transfer to escrow), except as otherwise agreed with the Panel:
- (i)
- an acceptance of the Offer will only be counted towards fulfilling the acceptance condition if the requirements of Note 4 and, if applicable, Note 6 on Rule 10 of the Code are satisfied in respect of it;
- (ii)
- a purchase of Superscape Shares by Glu or its nominee(s) (or, if relevant, any person acting in concert with Glu, or its nominee(s)) will only be counted towards fulfilling the acceptance condition if the requirements of Note 5 and, if applicable, Note 6 on Rule 10 of the Code are satisfied in respect of it; and
- (iii)
- the Offer will not become unconditional unless Capita Registrars has issued a certificate to Glu or its respective agents stating the number of Superscape Shares in respect of which acceptances have been received which comply with subparagraph (i) above and the number of Superscape Shares otherwise acquired, whether before or during the Offer Period, which comply with subparagraph (ii) above. Glu will send a copy of such certificate to the Panel and to Superscape's financial advisers as soon as possible after it is issued.

GLU MOBILE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1—THE COMPANY
Glu Mobile Inc. (the "Company" or "Glu") was incorporated as Cyent Studios, Inc. in Nevada on May 16, 2001 and changed its name to Sorrent, Inc. On November 21, 2001, New Sorrent, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was incorporated in California. The Company and New Sorrent, Inc. merged on December 4, 2001 to form Sorrent, Inc., a California corporation. In June 2005, the Company changed its name to Glu Mobile Inc. Glu acquired Macrospace Limited ("Macrospace") in December 2004 in efforts to develop and secure direct distribution relationships in Europe and Asia with leading wireless carriers, to deepen and broaden its game library (e.g., more titles and genre diversification), to acquire access and rights to leading licenses and franchises (including original intellectual property) and to augment its internal and external production and publishing capabilities. In March 2006, Glu Mobile Inc. acquired iFone Holdings Limited ("iFone") in order to continue to broaden its game library and acquire access and rights to leading licenses.
The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $45,977 as of December 31, 2006. In the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $11,253 and used approximately $11,018 to fund operations. The Company may incur additional operating losses and negative cash flows in the future. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, reduce spending or raise additional capital could adversely affect the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives.
On December 13, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering of the Company's common stock and a reincorporation into Delaware prior to the consummation of the offering (see Note 18).
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and these differences may be material.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues are derived primarily by licensing software products in the form of mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on a perpetual or subscription basis. A perpetual license gives an end user the right to use the licensed game on the registered handset on a perpetual basis. A subscription license gives an end user the right to use the licensed game on the registered handset for a limited period of time, ranging from a few days to as long as one month. The Company distributes its products primarily through mobile telecommunications service providers ("carriers"), which market the games to end users. License fees for perpetual and subscription licenses are usually billed by the carrier upon download of the game by the end user. In the case of subscriber licenses, many subscriber agreements provide for automatic renewal until the subscriber opts-out, while the others provide opt-in renewal. In either case, subsequent billings for subscription licenses are generally billed monthly. The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, to all transactions.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenues are recognized from our games when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. For both perpetual and subscription licenses, management considers a signed license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier and a "clickwrap" agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an end user. For these licenses, the Company defines delivery as the download of the game by the end user. The Company estimates revenues from carriers in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. Several carriers provide reliable interim preliminary reporting and others report sales data within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, both of which allow the Company to make reasonable estimates of revenues and therefore to recognize revenues during the reporting period when the end user licenses the game. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results may differ from the Company's estimates. The Company's estimates for revenues include consideration of factors such as preliminary sales data, carrier-specific historical sales trends, the age of games and the expected impact of newly launched games, successful introduction of new handsets, promotions during the period and economic trends. When the Company receives the final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Company records any differences between estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when the Company determines the actual amounts. Historically, the revenues on the final revenue report have not differed by more than one half of 1% of the reported revenues for the period, which the Company deemed to be immaterial. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be reasonably estimated. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenues to be recognized in the current period, the Company recognizes revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when the Company's portion of a game's licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is probable. To monitor the reliability of the Company's estimates, management, where possible, reviews the revenues by carrier and by game on a weekly basis to identify unusual trends such as differential adoption rates by carriers or the introduction of new handsets. If the Company deems a carrier not to be creditworthy, the Company defers all revenues from the arrangement until the Company receives payment and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF Issue No. 99-19,Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes as revenues the amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of the Company's games. The Company has evaluated its carrier agreements and has determined that it is not the principal when selling its games through carriers. Key indicators that it evaluated to reach this determination include:
- •
- wireless subscribers directly contract with the carriers, which have most of the service interaction and are generally viewed as the primary obligor by the subscribers;
- •
- carriers generally have significant control over the types of games that they offer to their subscribers;
- •
- carriers are directly responsible for billing and collecting fees from their subscribers, including the resolution of billing disputes;
- •
- carriers generally pay the Company a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed fee for each game;
- •
- carriers generally must approve the price of the Company's games in advance of their sale to subscribers, and the Company's more significant carriers generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their subscribers; and
- •
- the Company has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit risk.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
management believes are of high credit quality. Deposits held with financial institutions are likely to exceed the amount of insurance on these deposits.
Short-Term Investments
The Company invests in auction rate securities that are classified as short-term investments and carried at their market values. At December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company had $19,200 and $8,750, respectively, invested in auction rate securities, which are bought and sold in the marketplace through a bidding process sometimes referred to as a "Dutch Auction." After the initial issuance of the securities, the interest rate on the securities is reset periodically, at intervals set at the time of issuance (e.g., every seven, twenty-eight or thirty-five days or every six months), based on the market demand at the reset period. The "stated" or "contractual" maturities for these securities, however, generally are 20 to 30 years. Despite the long-term maturities, the Company has the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate any of these investments in order to meet the Company's liability needs within its normal operating cycles.
The Company has classified these investments as available-for-sale securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS No. 115"). In accordance with SFAS No. 115, these securities are reported at fair value with any changes in market value reported as a part of comprehensive income/(loss). Because these securities trade at their par value, the Company has not recorded any gains or losses in comprehensive loss during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 or 2006.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable.
The Company derives its accounts receivable from revenues earned from customers located in the U.S. and other locations outside of the U.S. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on management's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews past due balances over a specified amount individually for collectibility on a monthly basis. It reviews all other balances quarterly. The Company charges off accounts receivable balances against the allowance when it determines that the amount will not be recovered.
The following table summarizes the revenues from customers in excess of 10% of the Company's revenues:
| | Year Ended December 31,
| |
---|
| | 2004
| | 2005
| | 2006

Verizon Wireless | | 40.8 | % | 24.3 | % | 20.6 | % |

Cingular Wireless | | * | | 11.9 | | 11.3 | |
Vodafone | | * | | * | | 10.6 | |

At December 31, 2005, Verizon Wireless accounted for 23% of total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2006, Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel and Vodafone accounted for 21%, 11% and 10% of total accounts receivable, respectively. No other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company's revenues or accounts receivable in these periods or as of these dates.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity. Based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding approximates their fair value. The carrying amount of the preferred stock warrant liability represents its fair value (see Note 11).
Freestanding Preferred Stock Warrants
The Company accounts for freestanding warrants and other similar instruments related to shares that are redeemable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 ("SFAS No. 150"). Under SFAS No. 150, the freestanding warrants that are related to the Company's convertible preferred stock are classified as liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income/(expense), net. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants or the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion of an initial public offering, at which time all preferred stock warrants will be converted into warrants to purchase common stock and, accordingly, the liability will be reclassified to stockholders' equity/(deficit).
Prepaid or Guaranteed Licensor Royalties
The Company's royalty expenses consist of fees that it pays to branded content owners for the use of their intellectual property, including trademarks and copyrights, in the development of the Company's games. Royalty-based obligations are either paid in advance and capitalized on our balance sheet as prepaid royalties or accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalty-based obligations are expensed to cost of revenues at the greater of the revenues derived from the relevant game multiplied by the applicable contractual rate or an effective royalty rate based on expected net product sales. Advanced license payments that are not recoupable against future royalties are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the branded title or the term of the license agreement.
The Company's contracts with some licensors include minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which are payable regardless of the ultimate volume of sales to end users. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FSP FIN 45-3,Application of FASB Interpretation No. 45 to Minimum Revenue Guarantees Granted to a Business or Its Owners. As a result, the Company recorded a minimum guaranteed liability of approximately $1,366 as of December 31, 2006. When no significant performance remains with the licensor, the Company initially records each of these guarantees as an asset and as a liability at the contractual amount. The Company believes that the contractual amount represents the fair value of the liability. When significant performance remains with the licensor, the Company records royalty payments as an asset when actually paid and as a liability when incurred, rather than upon execution of the contract. The Company classifies minimum royalty payment obligations as current liabilities to the extent they are contractually due within the next twelve months.
Each quarter, the Company evaluates the realization of its royalties as well as any unrecognized guarantees not yet paid to determine amounts that it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. The Company uses estimates of revenues, cash flows and net margins to evaluate the future realization of prepaid royalties and guarantees. This evaluation considers multiple factors, including the term of the agreement, forecasted demand, game life cycle status, game development plans, and current and anticipated sales levels, as well as other qualitative factors such as the success of similar games and similar genres on mobile devices for the Company and its competitors and/or other game platforms (e.g., consoles, personal computers and Internet) utilizing the intellectual property and whether there are any future planned theatrical releases or television series based on the intellectual property. To the extent that this evaluation indicates that the remaining prepaid and guaranteed royalty payments are not recoverable, the

Company records an impairment charge to cost of revenues in the period that impairment is indicated. The Company recorded impairment charges to cost of revenues of $231, $1,645 and $355 during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"), the Company's goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Under SFAS No. 142, the Company performs the annual impairment review of its goodwill balance as of September 30. This impairment review involves a two-step process as follows:
Step 1—The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to the carrying value including goodwill of that unit. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the unit's fair value, the Company moves on to step 2. If a unit's fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary. To date, the fair values of the Company's reporting units have exceeded their carrying values and thus no goodwill impairment charges have been recorded.
Step 2—The Company performs an allocation of the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and nongoodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This allows the Company to derive an implied fair value for the unit's goodwill. The Company then compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying value of the unit's goodwill. If the carrying amount of the unit's goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment charge would be recognized for the excess.
Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from one to six years and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Factors considered important that could result in an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, and a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time. The Company recognizes impairment based on the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. Fair value is generally measured based on either quoted market prices, if available, or a discounted cash flow analysis.
Property and Equipment
The Company states property and equipment at cost. The Company computes depreciation or amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term of the respective assets, whichever is shorter.

The depreciation and amortization periods for the Company's property and equipment are as follows:
Computer equipment | | Three years |
Computer software | | Three years |
Furniture and fixtures | | Three years |
Leasehold improvements | | Shorter of the estimated useful life or remaining term of lease |
Research and Development Costs
The Company charges costs related to research, design and development of products to research and development expense as incurred. The types of costs included in research and development expenses include salaries, contractor fees and allocated facilities costs.
Software Development Costs
The Company applies the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed ("SFAS No. 86"). SFAS No. 86 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product. The Company has adopted the "tested working model" approach to establishing technological feasibility for its games. Under this approach, the Company does not consider a game in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the game that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final game and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs between the establishment of technological feasibility and the release of a game for sale; thus, the Company has expensed all software development costs as incurred. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile game market; the gradual evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and mobile phones for which it develops games; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its games; the uncertainty regarding a game's revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a game will be available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling games at any stage of the development process.
Internal Use Software
The Company recognizes internal use software development costs in accordance with the Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Thus, the Company capitalizes software development costs, including costs incurred to purchase third-party software, beginning when it determines certain factors are present including, among others, that technology exists to achieve the performance requirements and/or buy versus internal development decisions have been made. The Company has capitalized certain internal use software costs totaling approximately $37, $1,283 and $394 during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is generally three years. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the amortization of capitalized costs totaled approximately $13, $121 and $457, respectively. Capitalized internal use software development costs are included in property and equipment, net.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109"), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets
49

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under SFAS No. 109, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse. The Company establishes valuation allowances when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount it expects to realize.
Restructuring
The Company accounts for costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company records employee termination benefits as an operating expense when it communicates the benefit arrangement to the employee and it requires no significant future services, other than a minimum retention period, from the employee to earn the termination benefits.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations, and followed the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense for an option is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of a company's common stock and the exercise price of the option. Employee stock-based compensation determined under APB No. 25 is recognized using the multiple option method prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28,Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans ("FIN 28"), over the option vesting period.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"), which supersedes its previous accounting under APB No. 25. SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the prospective transition method, which requires, that for nonpublic entities that used the minimum value method for either pro forma or financial statement recognition purposes, SFAS No. 123R shall be applied to option grants on and after the required effective date. For options granted prior to the SFAS No. 123R effective date that remain unvested on that date, the Company continues to recognize compensation expense under the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25. In addition, the Company continues to amortize those awards valued prior to January 1, 2006 utilizing an accelerated amortization schedule, while it expenses all options granted or modified after January 1, 2006 on a straight-line basis.
The Company has elected to use the "with and without" approach as described in EITF Topic No. D-32 in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company will only recognize a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. In addition, the Company has elected to account for the indirect effects of stock-based awards on other tax attributes, such as the research tax credit, through its statement of operations.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, 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, and FIN 28.

Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising, including direct response advertising, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense was $84, $476 and $970 in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) consists of two components, net income/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss). Other comprehensive income/(loss) refers to gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders' equity but are excluded from net income/(loss). The Company's other comprehensive income/(loss) currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company translated the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries from their functional currencies, the local currency, into United States Dollars. This process resulted in unrealized exchange gains and losses, which are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' deficit.
Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments include any gain or loss associated with the translation of a subsidiary's financial statements when the functional currency of a subsidiary is the local currency. However, if the functional currency is deemed to be the United States Dollar, any gain or loss associated with the translation of these financial statements would be included within the Company's statements of operations. If the Company disposes of any of its subsidiaries, any cumulative translation gains or losses would be realized and recorded within the Company's statement of operations in the period during which the disposal occurs. If the Company determines that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary relative to the United States Dollar, any translation gains or losses arising after the date of change would be included within the Company's statement of operations.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic net income/(loss) per share attributable to common stockholders by dividing its net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period less the weighted average unvested common shares subject to repurchase by the Company. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is calculated using the two-class method; however, preferred stock dividends were not included in the Company's diluted net loss per share calculations because to do so would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision whether to file or not to file a return in a particular jurisdiction). Under the Interpretation, financial statements will reflect expected future tax consequences of these positions presuming the taxing authorities' full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The Interpretation also revises disclosure requirements and introduces a prescriptive, annual, tabular roll-forward of the unrecognized tax benefits. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt this provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact of this provision on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 3—CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
On June 29, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position 150-5,Issuer's Accounting under FASB Statement No. 150 for Freestanding Warrants and Other Similar Instruments on Shares That Are Redeemable ("FSP 150-5"). FSP 150-5 affirms that warrants of this type are subject to the requirements in SFAS No. 150, regardless of the redemption price or the timing of the redemption feature. Therefore, under SFAS No. 150, the freestanding warrants to purchase the Company's convertible preferred stock are liabilities that must be recorded at fair value.

NOTE 3—CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY (Continued)
The Company adopted FSP 150-5 and accounted for the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as of July 1, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the impact of the change in accounting principle was to increase net loss by $315, or $0.07 per share. There was $85 of income recorded in other income (expense), net to reflect the decrease in fair value between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005. In the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded $1,014 of additional expense in other income/(expense), net, to reflect the increase in fair value between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006.
These warrants are subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value will be recorded as a component of other income/(expense), net, until the earlier of their exercise or expiration or the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion of an initial public offering, at which time the preferred stock warrant liability will be reclassified to stockholders' equity/(deficit).
The pro forma effect of the adoption of FSP 150-5 on the Company's results of operations for 2004 and 2005, if applied retroactively as if FSP 150-5 had been adopted in those years, was not material.
NOTE 4—ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Macrospace Limited
On December 15, 2004, the Company acquired the net assets of Macrospace in order to continue to develop and secure direct distribution relationships with the leading wireless carriers, to deepen and broaden its game library, to acquire access and rights to leading licenses and franchises (including original intellectual property), and to augment its internal production and publishing resources. These factors contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.
The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Macrospace in exchange for the issuance of 2,733 shares of the Company's common stock and $5,000 in cash. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock to 17,000 shares.
The total purchase price consideration of approximately $21,111 consisted of the following: 2,733 shares of common stock of the Company (valued at $15,415 based on an independent valuation of the Company's common stock on that date using a weighted income and market comparable approach), $5,000 in cash and transaction costs of $630. The Company signed a loan agreement with Macrospace shareholders and agreed to pay $1,076 of the $5,000 cash consideration over the year ended December 31, 2005.
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Macrospace since the date of acquisition. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company allocated the total purchase

In the initial purchase price allocation, the Company allocated $9,200 to amortizable intangible assets. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company finalized its intangible asset valuation and revised its purchase price allocation, resulting in a reduction of $1,653 in the value previously ascribed to intangible assets and a corresponding increase in goodwill. The Company is amortizing the amortizable intangible assets using a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of one to six years (see Note 6).
As part of the finalization of the 2005 tax returns for Glu Ltd. (formerly Macrospace Ltd.), during 2006 the Company recorded an adjustment to goodwill and the acquired net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $300.
The Company allocated the residual value of $14,331 to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition of iFone Holdings Limited
On March 29, 2006, the Company acquired the net assets of iFone in order to continue to deepen and broaden its game library, to acquire access and rights to leading licenses and franchises and to augment its external production resources. These factors contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.
The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of iFone in exchange for the issuance of 3,423 shares of Special Junior Preferred Stock of the Company and $3,500 in cash. In addition, subject to the completion of specified milestones, the Company committed to issue a total of 871 shares of Special Junior Preferred Stock of the Company and $4,500 in subordinated unsecured promissory notes to the iFone shareholders. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock of Glu to 17,031 shares. The milestones outlined in the purchase agreement for which contingent consideration was agreed to be issued were not achieved during the period to earn this additional consideration. As the milestone consideration was not earned, these amounts have not been reflected in these financial statements.

The total purchase price of approximately $23,502 consisted of the following: 3,423 shares of Special Junior Preferred Stock of the Company (valued at $19,098 based on an independent valuation of the preferred stock issued using a weighted income and market comparable approach), $3,500 of cash and transaction costs of $904.
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of iFone from the date of acquisition. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company allocated the total purchase price of $23,502 to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

The above table includes reductions to acquired goodwill to reflect adjustments to certain assumed liabilities upon completion of the purchase price allocation.
The Company has recorded an estimate for costs to terminate certain activities associated with the iFone operations in accordance with the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3,Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. This restructuring accrual of $1,180 principally related to the termination of 41 iFone employees. At December 31, 2006, a total of $36 of restructuring liabilities related to iFone employees remained and is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2007.
Of the total purchase price, $4,500 was allocated to amortizable intangible assets. The amortizable intangible assets are being amortized using a straight-line method over the respective estimated useful life of two to five years.
In conjunction with the acquisition of iFone, the Company recorded a $1,500 expense for acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") during the first quarter of 2006 because feasibility of the acquired technology had not been established and no future alternative uses existed. The IPR&D expense is included in operating expenses in its consolidated statements of operation in the year ended December 31, 2006.
The IPR&D is related to the development of new game titles. The Company determined the value of acquired IPR&D using the discounted cash flow approach. The Company calculated the present value of the expected future cash flows attributable to the in-process technology using a 21% discount rate. This rate takes into account the percentage of completion of the development effort of approximately 20% and

the risks associated with the Company's developing this technology given changes in trends and technology in the industry. As of December 31, 2006, these acquired IPR&D projects had been completed at costs similar to the original projections.
The Company based the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and IPR&D acquired on management's estimates, currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. The Company based the allocation of the purchase price on the fair value of these net assets acquired determined using the income and market valuation approaches.
The Company allocated the residual value of $22,828 to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has included amortization of acquired intangible assets directly attributable to revenue-generating activities in cost of revenues. The Company has included amortization of acquired intangible assets not directly attributable to revenue-generating activities in operating expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recorded amortization expense in the amounts of $126, $2,823 and $1,777, respectively, in cost of revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recorded amortization expense in the amounts of $26, $616 and $616, respectively, in operating expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company impaired certain titles, content and technology intangible assets as certain titles were discontinued or their current anticipated cash flows were significantly lower than the estimated cash flows used in the initial valuation. The Company used a discounted cash flow approach to determine the current fair value of these intangibles. The Company recorded a charge of $1,103 for the impairment during the year ended December 31, 2005. It recorded no impairments during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, the total expected future amortization related to intangible assets was as follows:

At September 30, 2006, the Company performed its annual test for goodwill impairment as required by SFAS No. 142. The Company determined that it operates three reporting units for the purposes of SFAS No. 142. The Company attributes its goodwill to both its Americas and Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") reporting units. The Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired since the fair value of its reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values, including goodwill. The primary methods used to determine the fair values for SFAS No. 142 impairment purposes were the discounted cash flow and

NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)
market methods. The Company determined the assumptions supporting the discounted cash flow method, including the assumed 18% discount rate, using its best estimates as of the date of the impairment review.
The Company attributes all of the goodwill resulting from the Macrospace acquisition to its EMEA reporting unit. The goodwill resulting from the iFone acquisition is evenly attributed to its Americas and EMEA reporting units. The goodwill allocated to the Americas reporting unit is denominated in United States Dollars, and the goodwill allocated to the EMEA reporting unit is denominated in Pounds Sterling. As a result, the goodwill attributed to the EMEA reporting unit is subject to foreign currency fluctuations. During the year ended December 31, 2005, goodwill decreased by $1,354 due to the United States Dollar strengthening against the Pound Sterling. During the year ended December 31, 2006, goodwill increased by $3,081 due to the United States Dollar weakening against the Pound Sterling. Goodwill at December 31, 2005 and 2006 was $12,467 and $38,727, respectively.
NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating facility leases with various expiration dates through August 2008. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 was $354, $1,236 and $1,759, respectively. The terms of the facility leases provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. The deferred rent balance was $151 and $225 at December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and was included within other long-term liabilities.
At December 31, 2006, future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases were as follows:

Commitments in the above table include $1,366 of guaranteed royalties to licensors that are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 because the licensors do not have any significant performance obligations. These commitments are included in both current and long-term prepaid and accrued royalties.
Indemnification Arrangements
The Company has entered into agreements under which it indemnifies each of its officers and directors during his or her lifetime for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company's request in that capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company had recorded no liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2005 or 2006.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company includes standard indemnification provisions in most of its license agreements with carriers and other distributors. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company indemnifies these parties for losses suffered or incurred in connection with its games, including as a result of intellectual property infringement and viruses, worms and other malicious software. The term of these indemnity provisions is generally perpetual after execution of the corresponding license agreement, and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is generally unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle indemnified claims of these types. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnity provisions is minimal. Accordingly, the Company had recorded no liabilities for these provisions as of December 31, 2005 or 2006.
Contingencies
The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company's management does not believe that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operation, and thus no amounts were accrued for these exposures at December 31, 2006.
NOTE 8—DEBT
Loan Agreement
In May 2006, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a principal in the amount of $12,000. The loan has an interest rate of 11%. The Company was obligated to pay only interest through December 31,

NOTE 8—DEBT (Continued)
2006. Beginning January 1, 2007, the Company became obligated to pay 30 equal payments of principal and accrued interest until the entire principal is paid. If the Company elects to make any advance payments, these payments would be subject to a premium equal to 3% of the principal amount repaid unless the payments were made (1) in connection with an issuance of shares of stock that would be publicly traded on a national market or exchange, (2) in connection with a change of control or (3) more than 18 months after the funding of the loan. The loan is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property, and prohibits the payment of any dividends prior to the effective date of the Company's initial public offering. As of December 31, 2006, the future minimum loan payments were as follows:

Early Exercise of Employee Options
Stock options granted under the Company's stock option plan provide certain employee option holders the right to elect to exercise unvested options in exchange for shares of restricted common stock. Unvested shares, in the amounts of 162 and 108 at December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, were subject to a repurchase right held by the Company at the original issuance price in the event the optionees' employment is terminated either voluntarily or involuntarily. For exercises of employee options, this right generally lapses as to 25% of the shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the vesting start date and as to 1/48th of the shares monthly thereafter. These repurchase terms are considered to be a forfeiture provision and do not result in variable accounting. The restricted shares issued upon early

exercise of stock options are legally issued and outstanding and have been reflected in stockholders' equity/(deficit). The Company treats cash received from employees for exercise of unvested options as a refundable deposit shown as a liability in its consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company included cash received for early exercise of options of $121 and $92, respectively, in accrued liabilities. Amounts from accrued liabilities are transferred into common stock and additional paid-in capital as the shares vest.
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
In connection with the issuance of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 20 shares of common stock. These warrants had an exercise price of $0.36 per share and an expiration date of December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2006, these warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of $7. As of December 31, 2006, no warrants to purchase common stock remained outstanding.

Special junior redeemable convertible preferred stock | | $ | — | | $ | 19,098 |
The Special Junior Preferred Stock is classified as redeemable due to the deemed liquidation provision in the instrument.
Rights and preferences of the redeemable convertible preferred stock include:
Voting Rights
Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate series, elect two members of the Company's Board of Directors, holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate series, elect one member of the Company's Board of Directors, holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate series, elect one member of the Company's Board of Directors, holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate series, elect two members of the Company's Board of Directors, holders of shares of the Special Junior Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, elect one director, and holders of shares of common stock and preferred stock (on an as-if converted to common stock basis), voting together as a single class, elect the remaining members of the Company's Board of Directors.
Dividend Rights
The holders of Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, out of any funds legally available, noncumulative dividends at a rate per share equal to 8% of the original issuance price, when and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Subject to the payment of the dividends described above, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, out of any funds legally available, noncumulative dividends at a rate per share equal to 8% of the original issuance price, when and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Any additional dividends or distributions would be distributed among all holders of common stock and all holders of preferred stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held on an as-if converted basis.
Liquidation Preferences
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series D and D-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to their original purchase price of $9.03 per share plus all declared by unpaid dividends before any amount is paid with respect to any other series of preferred stock or common stock. If the amounts available for

NOTE 10—REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)
distribution are not sufficient to pay the full amount, then all assets of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed to the holders of Series D and D-1 Preferred Stock on a proportionate basis. After payment in full of the liquidation preference amount of the Series D and D-1 Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to liquidation preferences equal to their original issue prices of $1.848, $1.92 and $4.98 per share, respectively, plus any declared but unpaid dividends. If the amounts available for distribution are not sufficient to pay the full amount, then any remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed to the holders of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock on a proportionate basis. After the above payments are made in full, the holders of Special Junior Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to $2.858 per share. Upon full payment of the liquidation preference amounts of all preferred stock, any remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed to the holders of common stock and preferred stock pro rata based on the number of shares on an "as-if converted" basis.
Conversion Rights
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D and D-1 Preferred Stock and Special Junior Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, by dividing their original issuance prices of $1.848, $1.92, $4.98, $9.03 and $5.25, respectively, by the conversion price at the conversion date. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D and D-1 Preferred Stock and Special Junior Preferred Stock automatically converts into the number of shares of common stock into which these shares are convertible at the then-effective conversion ratio upon: (i) the closing of a public offering of common stock at a per share price of at least $14.94 (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like) and for an aggregate offering price of at least $50.0 million or (ii) the written consent of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of at least 662/3% of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, each voting as a separate series, and the holders of at least 72% of the then-outstanding shares of Series D and Series D-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single series. On December 18, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors and preferred stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation to reduce the trigger price at which shares of the Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the completion of an underwritten public offering from $14.94 per share to $13.50 per share. On February 27, 2007, the holders of outstanding preferred stock agreed to convert their shares into common stock upon the consummation of the Company's initial public offering so long as the registration statement is declared effective on or prior to March 31, 2007 (see Note 18).
Redemption Rights
Any time after May 2010, the holders of more than 50% of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, may upon written request require that the Company redeem all or a portion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock. If the respective Preferred Stock remains outstanding until the redemption date (May 2010), the estimated minimum redemption value will be $57,447. The redemption amount is to be paid in cash in two equal installments—to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to $1.848 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to $1.92 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to $4.98 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to $9.03 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; and to the holders of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to $9.03 plus all declared but unpaid dividends. The second installment payment would occur on the first anniversary of the first redemption payment. Any redemption of preferred stock must be made on a

proportionate basis among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and the holders of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, in proportion to the number of shares of that series proposed to be redeemed by those holders. The Special Junior Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recorded cumulative charges to additional paid-in capital of $1,351, $63 and $74, respectively, related to the accretion of the preferred stock to its redemption value.
As a requirement of the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock in April and July 2005 and Series D-1 Preferred Stock in July 2005, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation. This amendment modified certain of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. The most significant amendments included removing the cumulative dividend rights upon redemption of these series of preferred stock. As this modification was made concurrently with the sale of the new preferred stock, the Company considered this modification and determined that it involved only the different classes of preferred stockholders. As a result, the Company recorded a capital contribution in the amount of the historical accretion recorded in respect of the cumulative dividend rights that were removed as part of the modification.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had reserved 2,313 shares of common stock for the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, 2,987 shares of common stock for the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, 4,015 shares of common stock for the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, 2,400 shares of common stock for the conversion of Series D Preferred Stock and 831 shares of common stock for the conversion of Series D-1 Preferred Stock.
NOTE 11—WARRANTS FOR PREFERRED STOCK
In March 2003, the Company issued warrants to purchase 71 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in conjunction with the issuance of the convertible notes payable. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.92 per share and a term of five years. The Company calculated the fair value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 90%, term of five years, risk-free interest rate of 2.6% and dividend yield of 0%. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants of $61 as a discount to the carrying value of the convertible notes. These warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2006.
In March 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 52 shares of common stock in conjunction with obtaining a line of credit. In June 2004, the warrants to purchase common stock were converted to warrants to purchase 52 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.92 per share and a five-year term. The Company calculated the fair value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 90%, term of five years, risk-free interest rate of 3.1% and dividend yield of 0%. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants of $83 as a short-term asset, of which $63 was amortized to interest expense in 2004 and the remainder was amortized in 2005. These warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2006.
In May 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 106 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in conjunction with the loan agreement. The warrants have an exercise price of $9.03 per share and a term of seven years. The Company calculated the fair value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 73%, term of seven years, risk-free interest rate of 5.1% and dividend yield of 0%. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants of $607 as a discount to the carrying value of the loan. These warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2006.

As discussed in Note 3, in 2005 the Company reclassified all of its freestanding preferred stock warrants as a liability and began adjusting the warrants to their respective fair values at each balance sheet date.
NOTE 12—STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In December 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the granting of stock options to employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options ("ISO") may be granted only to Company employees (including officers and directors who are also employees). Nonqualified stock options ("NSO") may be granted to Company employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had authorized 4,498 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.
The Company may grant options under the Plan at prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by its Board of Directors, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO or NSO may not be less than 100% or 85%, respectively, of the estimated fair value of the underlying shares of common stock on the grant date, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO or NSO granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the grant date.
Generally, options granted under the Plan are exercisable for a period of five or ten years after the date of grant, and the shares of common stock subject to the option vest at a rate of1/4 of the shares on the first anniversary of the grant date of the option and an additional1/48 of the shares upon completion of each succeeding full month of continuous employment thereafter. The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time at its discretion.
In December 2004, the Company's Board of Directors elected to allow the Company's officers (vice president and above) to exercise their options to purchase unvested shares of common stock (i.e., "early exercise"). If an employee terminates his or her employment with the Company, the Company would have the right to repurchase the then-unvested stock at the original issuance price. Prior to termination, the stock would continue to vest as set forth in the employee's original stock option agreement.
The Company may repurchase shares of common stock subject to the right of repurchase by providing written notice to the stockholder within 90 days of the stockholder's termination. The repurchase price is equal to the original exercise price per share. If a stockholder is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, none of the shares would be subject to repurchase. Cause and good reason are each defined in the stock restriction agreements entered into by the Company and each of the stockholders.

The Company has computed the aggregate intrinsic value amounts disclosed in the above table based on the difference between the original exercise price of the options and management's estimate of the deemed fair value of the Company's common stock of $10.53 at December 31, 2006. The aggregate intrinsic value of awards exercised during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $119.
Included in the above table are non-employee stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 for 115, 1 and 1 shares of common stock, respectively. The Company had outstanding non-employee stock options to purchase 112, 11 and 1 shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $0.29, $0.18 and $3.90 at December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The non-employee options outstanding had an exercise price of $3.90, a remaining contractual term of 9.55 years and no intrinsic value at December 31, 2006.

NOTE 12—STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN (Continued)
Prior to the Adoption of SFAS No. 123R
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company applied SFAS No. 123, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, which allowed companies to apply the accounting rules under APB No. 25, and related interpretations.
Stock-based compensation expense, under APB No. 25, is recognized for employee stock option grants in those instances in which the fair value of the underlying common stock is greater than the exercise price of the stock options at the date of grant. The Company recorded deferred stock-based compensation related to employees of $2,596 and $1,129 for stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Stock-based compensation of $288, $1,487 and $863 was expensed during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, using an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the individual options, in accordance with FIN 28.
During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company issued stock options to certain employees with exercise prices determined with hindsight to be below the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The Company retrospectively estimated the fair value of its common stock based upon several factors, including its operating and financial performance, progress and milestones attained in its business, past sales of convertible preferred stock, the results of retrospective independent valuations by a third-party valuation firm, and the expected valuation that the Company would obtain in an initial public offering. These retrospective independent valuations utilized the probability-weighted expected return and the option pricing valuation methodologies. The Company has reviewed these factors and the events that happened between each pair of valuation dates and has determined that the combination of these factors and events reflect a true measurement of the fair value of the Company's stock over an extended period of time and believes that the fair value of its common stock is appropriately reflected in the chart below.
In June 2006, the Company offered to the employees who were granted options from January 2005 to March 2005 the ability to amend the terms of their options to increase the exercise prices in order to help them avoid potential adverse personal income tax consequences. The Company repriced certain stock option awards granted to 15 of its employees in the first quarter of 2005. Under the terms of this repricing, no terms of the original option grants were changed other than the exercise price and the term, which was extended from the fifth anniversary to the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The Company repriced vested options to purchase 29 shares and unvested options to purchase 243 shares having weighted average original exercise prices of $2.34 and $2.28, respectively. These options were repriced at a new exercise price of $3.90 per share. The Company has accounted for the repricing as a modification under SFAS No. 123R and thus recorded the net incremental fair value related to vested awards as compensation expense on the date of modification. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company will record the incremental fair value related to the unvested awards, together with unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with the unvested awards as determined under APB No. 25, over the remaining requisite service period of the option holders. In connection with the repricing, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $66 in the year ended December 31, 2006. Total incremental compensation cost resulting from the modification was $150.
In connection with the repricing of stock options during 2006, the Company followed the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and eliminated from its balance sheet its remaining deferred stock-based compensation related to modified stock options. Future stock-based compensation charges for the modified options will be recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

The expected term of options gave consideration to early exercises, post-vesting cancellations and the options' contractual term, which was extended for all options granted subsequent to September 12, 2005 from five to ten years. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Rate as of the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123R requires nonpublic companies that used the minimum value method under SFAS No. 123 to apply the prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the minimum value method, and it therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods. Under the prospective method, stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes compensation expense for (i) all new stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, (ii) unmodified awards granted prior to but not vested as of December 31, 2005 accounted for under APB No. 25 and (iii) awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005 that were modified after the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
The Company calculated employee stock-based compensation expense recognized in the year ended December 31, 2006 based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reduced it for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The following table summarizes the consolidated stock-based compensation expense by line items in the consolidated statement of operations:
| | Year Ended December 31, 2006
|
---|
Research and development | | $ | 207 |
Sales and marketing | | | 322 |
General and administrative | | | 1,211 |
| |
|
Total stock-based compensation expense | | $ | 1,740 |
| |
|
Consolidated net cash proceeds from option exercises were $194 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company realized no income tax benefit from stock option exercises during the year ended December 31, 2006. As required, the Company presents excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, if any, as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows.

NOTE 12—STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN (Continued)
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was higher by $877, net of tax effect, than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been $0.18 lower than if the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123R. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $5,243 of total unrecognized compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.36 years.
During 2006, the Company modified five additional option agreements, including grants made to two members of the Company's Board of Directors. The modifications included the repricing of one option for 50 shares of common stock from $4.80 per share to $3.57 per share and accelerating the vesting of four other grants totaling 27 shares of common stock. The Company recorded a charge of $100 in connection with these modifications for the year ended December 31, 2006. Total incremental compensation costs resulting from the modifications were $104.
Non-employee Stock Options
During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 115, 1 and 1, shares of common stock, respectively, to non-employees at exercise prices ranging from $0.18 to $4.50 and with contractual terms generally of five years. The Company determined estimated fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 100%, risk-free interest rate of 3.77% to 4.73% and contractual lives of 5 to 10 years. The Company accounts for stock options, which vest over the service period, using the variable accounting model and re-measures them each accounting period. Compensation expense related to options granted to consultants was $253 during the year ended December 31, 2004 and $5 during the year ended December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company cancelled options issued to consultants in prior years. As these options were not vested at the time of cancellation, the Company reversed the expense recognized in previous years totaling $227 relating to the unvested portion of these options. Net compensation expense related to options granted to consultants during the year ended December 31, 2005 was ($210).
Adoption of New Employee Stock Plans
In January 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, which will become effective upon completion of the Company's initial public offering. The Company has reserved 1,767 shares of its common stock for grant and issuance under the plan. The number of shares available for grant and issuance under the plan will be increased on January 1 of each of 2008 through 2011, by the lesser of (i) 3% of the number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 immediately prior to the date of increase or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Board of Directors.
In January 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which will become effective upon completion of the Company's initial public offering. The Company has reserved 667 shares of its common stock for issuance under the plan. On each January 1 for the first eight calendar years after the first offering date, the aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance under the plan will be increased automatically by the number of shares equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, provided that the Board of Directors may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year and provided further that the aggregate number of shares issued over the term of this plan may not exceed 5,333.

The Company has not provided deferred taxes on unremitted earnings attributable to foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely.
In accordance with SFAS No. 109 and based on all available evidence on a jurisdictional basis, the Company believes that, it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be utilized, and has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $28,525 and $28,732 for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. These carryforwards will expire from 2011 to 2026. In addition, the Company had research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $576 for federal income tax purposes and $573 for California tax purposes. The research and development tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in 2021. The California state research credit will carry forward indefinitely. In addition, at December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,586 for United Kingdom tax purposes.
The Company's ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income and future taxes, respectively, may be subject to restrictions attributable to equity transactions that result in changes in ownership as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
NOTE 14—SEGMENT REPORTING
Statement of Financial Accounting Statements No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. It defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company's Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information on a geographic basis, however these aggregate into one operating segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company reports as a single operating segment—mobile games. It attributes revenues to geographic areas based on the country in which the carrier's principal operations are located.

NOTE 18—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)
In February 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to secure a revolving line of credit that allows the Company to borrow up to $8,000. The facility is restricted to 80% of the Company's eligible domestic accounts receivable. The line carries an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 1% and matures in 24 months. Payments on any borrowings would be interest only with any remaining borrowings due at maturity. The line is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property. The Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $3,000. Also, if the Company's net cash balance, excluding any borrowings under this line of credit, declines below $3,500, then the Company's accounts receivable must be collected by means of a lock box, the interest rate on any borrowings would be increased to the prime rate plus 2% and the Company would have to pay a one-time fee to the lender of $50. To date, there have been no borrowings under this facility.
In February 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved, and in March 2007 the Company's stockholders approved, a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock. In March 2007, the Company completed its reincorporation in Delaware and the reverse stock split. All share, per share and stock option information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements has been retroactively restated for all periods to reflect the reverse stock split.
In February 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 272 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.0003 per share to certain holders of Series D or D-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock as an inducement for these holders to convert their preferred stock into common stock upon the consummation of the Company's initial public offering. These warrants expire 30 days following the completion of the Company's initial public offering, provided that, if the date of effectiveness of that offering is not March 31, 2007 or earlier, the warrants will expire. In connection with the issuance of the warrants, the Company received an agreement to convert all shares of preferred stock to common stock upon completion of the Company's initial public offering from holders of the requisite number of shares to cause that conversion, provided that the registration statement for the initial public offering is effective on or before March 31, 2007. The Company will record a deemed dividend in connection with the issuance of the warrants during the three months ending March 31, 2007.

Note 1—The Company, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Glu Mobile Inc. (the "Company" or "Glu") was incorporated as Cyent Studios, Inc. in Nevada on May 16, 2001 and changed its name to Sorrent, Inc. On November 21, 2001, New Sorrent, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was incorporated in California. The Company and New Sorrent, Inc. merged on December 4, 2001 to form Sorrent, Inc., a California corporation. In May 2005, the Company changed its name to Glu Mobile Inc. Glu acquired Macrospace Limited ("Macrospace") in December 2004 in efforts to develop and secure direct distribution relationships in Europe and Asia with leading wireless carriers, to deepen and broaden its game library (e.g., more titles and genre diversification), to acquire access and rights to leading licenses and franchises (including original intellectual property) and to augment its internal and external production and publishing capabilities. In March 2006, Glu acquired iFone Holdings Limited ("iFone") to continue to broaden its game library and acquire access and rights to leading licenses.
In March 2007, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of common stock in which it sold and issued 7,300 shares at an issue price of $11.50 per share. The Company raised a total of $83,950 in gross proceeds from the IPO, or approximately $74,758 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $5,877 and other offering costs of $3,315. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding automatically converted into 15,680 shares of common stock.
In connection with our IPO, in March 2007, we effected a 3-for-1 reverse stock split of our outstanding capital stock and derivative securities. All share numbers and exercises prices in this Form 10-Q give effect to the reverse stock split.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, File Number 333-139493, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company believes are necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2007 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded adjustments related to operating expenses. The corrections resulted in the Company reporting $49 of additional losses before income taxes related to prior quarters. Management and the Audit Committee believe that such amounts are not material to previously reported financial statements. This adjustment had no impact on reported net loss per share for any of the periods previously reported or for the period ended September 30, 2007.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded adjustments related to cost of sales, operating expense and tax expense. The corrections resulted in the Company reporting approximately $5 of additional losses related to prior fiscal years. Management and the Audit Committee believe that such amounts are not material to previously reported financial statements. These adjustments had no impact on reported net loss per share for any of the periods previously reported or for the period ended September 30, 2007.
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 1—The Company, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the Company's management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and these differences may be material.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues are derived primarily by licensing software products in the form of mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on a perpetual or subscription basis. A perpetual license gives an end user the right to use the licensed game on the registered handset on a perpetual basis. A subscription license gives an end user the right to use the licensed game on the registered handset for a limited period of time, ranging from a few days to as long as one month. The Company distributes its products primarily through mobile telecommunications service providers ("carriers"), which market the games to end users. License fees for perpetual and subscription licenses are usually billed by the carrier upon download of the game by the end user. In the case of subscriber licenses, many subscriber agreements provide for automatic renewal until the subscriber opts-out, while the others provide opt-in renewal. In either case, subsequent billings for subscription licenses are generally billed monthly. The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, to all transactions.
Revenues are recognized from our games when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. For both perpetual and subscription licenses, management considers a signed license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier and a "clickwrap" agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an end user. For these licenses, the Company defines delivery as the download of the game by the end user. The Company estimates revenues from carriers in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. Several carriers provide reliable interim preliminary reporting and others report sales data within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, both of which allow the Company to make reasonable estimates of revenues and therefore to recognize revenues during the reporting period when the end user licenses the game. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results may differ from the Company's estimates. The Company's estimates for revenues include consideration of factors such as preliminary sales data, carrier-specific historical sales trends, the age of games and the expected impact of newly launched games, successful introduction of new handsets, promotions during the period and economic trends. When the Company receives the final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Company records any differences between estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when the Company determines the actual amounts. Historically, the revenues on the final revenue report have not differed by more than one half of 1% of the reported revenues for the period, which the Company deemed to be immaterial. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be reasonably estimated. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenues to be recognized in the current period, the Company recognizes revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when the Company's portion of a game's licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is probable. To monitor the reliability of the Company's estimates, management, where possible, reviews the revenues by carrier and by game on a weekly basis to identify unusual trends such as differential adoption rates by carriers or the introduction of new handsets. If the

Company deems a carrier not to be creditworthy, the Company defers all revenues from the arrangement until the Company receives payment and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF Issue No. 99-19,Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of the Company's games. The Company has evaluated its carrier agreements and has determined that it is not the principal when selling its games through carriers. Key indicators that it evaluated to reach this determination include:
- •
- wireless subscribers directly contract with the carriers, which have most of the service interaction and are generally viewed as the primary obligor by the subscribers;
- •
- carriers generally have significant control over the types of games that they offer to their subscribers;
- •
- carriers are directly responsible for billing and collecting fees from their subscribers, including the resolution of billing disputes;
- •
- carriers generally pay the Company a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed fee for each game;
- •
- carriers generally must approve the price of the Company's games in advance of their sale to subscribers, and the Company's more significant carriers generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their subscribers; and
- •
- the Company has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit risk.
Investments in Marketable Securities
The Company invests in auction rate securities that are bought and sold in the marketplace through a bidding process sometimes referred to as a "Dutch Auction." After the initial issuance of the securities, the interest rate on the securities is reset periodically, at intervals set at the time of issuance (e.g., every seven, 28 or 35 days or every six months), based on the market demand at the reset period. The "stated" or "contractual" maturities for these securities, however, generally are 20 to 30 years. Historically, the Company had the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate any of these investments as needed in order to meet the Company's needs within its normal operating cycles. As of December 31, 2006 all auction rate securities were included in short-term investments. Due to disruptions of, and the resulting greatly reduced liquidity in certain financial markets in 2007, two of the Company's AAA rated, corporate asset-backed auction rate securities totaling $2,800 in purchased cost experienced failed auctions during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Due to the failed auctions, the Company was unable to sell the securities at their respective costs, resulting in a decrease in fair value of $259 as of September 30, 2007. Although the Company intends to liquidate these two investments as needed it does not currently have the same ability to do so and has reclassified these investments to other long-term assets as of September 30, 2007.
The Company has classified these investments as available-for-sale securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS No. 115"). In accordance with SFAS No. 115, these securities are reported at fair value with any changes in market value reported as a part of comprehensive income/(loss). The Company has recorded an unrealized loss of $259 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. No unrealized gains or losses were recognized during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The Company periodically reviews these investments for impairment. In the event the carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes down the value of the investment to its fair value. The Company recorded the $259 change in fair value as of September 30, 2007 as an unrealized loss within other comprehensive income/(loss) since the change in fair value was determined to be temporary.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable.
The Company derives its accounts receivable from revenues earned from customers located in the United States and other locations outside of the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on management's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews past due balances over a specified amount individually for collectibility on a monthly basis. It reviews all other balances quarterly. The Company charges off accounts receivable balances against the allowance when it determines that the amount will not be recovered.
The following table summarizes the revenues from customers in excess of 10% of the Company's revenues:
| | Nine Months Ended September 30,

- Revenues from the customer were less than 10% during the period.
At September 30, 2007, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel accounted for 25% and 11%, of total accounts receivable, respectively. At December 31, 2006, Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel and Vodafone accounted for 21%, 11% and 10% of total accounts receivable, respectively. No other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company's revenues or accounts receivable in these periods or as of these dates.

Freestanding Preferred Stock Warrants
Freestanding warrants and other similar instruments related to shares that are redeemable are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity ("SFAS No. 150"). Under SFAS No. 150, the freestanding warrants that were related to the Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock were recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The warrants were subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of other income (expense), net. Subsequent to the Company's IPO and the associated conversion of the Company's outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock, the warrants to exercise the redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into common stock warrants; accordingly, the liability related to the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants at the closing of the IPO of

$1,985 was transferred to additional paid-in-capital and the common stock warrants are no longer subject to re-measurement.
Prepaid or Guaranteed Licensor Royalties
The Company's royalty expenses consist of fees that it pays to branded content owners for the use of their intellectual property, including trademarks and copyrights, in the development of the Company's games. Royalty-based obligations are either paid in advance and capitalized on our balance sheet as prepaid royalties or accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalty-based obligations are expensed to cost of revenues at the greater of the revenues derived from the relevant game multiplied by the applicable contractual rate or an effective royalty rate based on expected net product sales. Advanced license payments that are not recoupable against future royalties are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the branded title or the term of the license agreement.
The Company's contracts with some licensors include minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which are payable regardless of the ultimate volume of sales to end users. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FSP FIN 45-3,Application of FASB Interpretation No. 45 to Minimum Revenue Guarantees Granted to a Business or Its Owners. The Company has recorded a minimum guaranteed liability of approximately $7,164 as of September 30, 2007. When no significant performance remains with the licensor, the Company initially records each of these guarantees as an asset and as a liability at the contractual amount. The Company believes that the contractual amount represents the fair value of the liability. When significant performance remains with the licensor, the Company records royalty payments as an asset when actually paid and as a liability when incurred, rather than upon execution of the contract. The Company classifies minimum royalty payment obligations as current liabilities to the extent they are contractually due within the next twelve months.
At each quarterly balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the realization of its royalties as well as any unrecognized guarantees not yet paid to determine amounts that it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. The Company uses estimates of revenues, cash flows and net margins to evaluate the future realization of prepaid royalties and guarantees. This evaluation considers multiple factors, including the term of the agreement, forecasted demand, game life cycle status, game development plans, and current
and anticipated sales levels, as well as other qualitative factors such as the success of similar games and similar genres on mobile devices for the Company and its competitors and/or other game platforms (e.g., consoles, personal computers and Internet) utilizing the intellectual property and whether there are any future planned theatrical releases or television series based on the intellectual property. To the extent that this evaluation indicates that the remaining prepaid and guaranteed royalty payments are not recoverable, the Company records an impairment charge to cost of revenues in the period that impairment is indicated. The Company recorded impairment charges to cost of revenues of $0 and $60 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company recorded impairment charges to cost of revenues of $0 and $319 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
The Company charges costs related to research, design and development of products to research and development expense as incurred. The types of costs included in research and development expenses include salaries, contractor fees and allocated facilities costs.
Software Development Costs
The Company applies the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed ("SFAS No. 86"). SFAS No. 86 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of
82
GLU MOBILE INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1—The Company, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product. The Company has adopted the "tested working model" approach to establishing technological feasibility for its games. Under this approach, the Company does not consider a game in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the game that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final game and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs between the establishment of technological feasibility and the release of a game for sale; thus, the Company has expensed all software development costs as incurred. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile game market; the gradual evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and mobile phones for which it develops games; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its games; the uncertainty regarding a game's revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a game will be available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling games at any stage of the development process.
Internal Use Software
The Company recognizes internal use software development costs in accordance with the Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Thus, the Company capitalizes software development costs, including costs incurred to purchase third-party software, beginning when it determines certain factors are present including, among others, that technology exists to achieve the performance requirements and/or buy versus internal development decisions have been made. The Company has capitalized certain internal use software costs totaling approximately $10 and $9 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has capitalized certain internal use software costs totaling approximately $469 and $234 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is generally three years. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the amortization of capitalized costs totaled approximately $192 and $119, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the amortization of capitalized costs totaled approximately $483 and $323, respectively. Capitalized internal use software development costs are included in property and equipment, net.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109"), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under SFAS No. 109, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse. The Company establishes valuation allowances when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount it expects to realize.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"), which supplements SFAS No. 109 by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
With the adoption of FIN 48, companies are required to adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Any necessary adjustment would be recorded directly to retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle as of the date of

FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. See Note 11 for additional information, including the effects of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations, and followed the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense for an option is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of a company's common stock and the exercise price of the option. Employee stock-based compensation determined under APB No. 25 is recognized using the multiple option method prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28,Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans ("FIN 28"), over the option vesting period.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"), which supersedes its previous accounting under APB No. 25. SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the prospective transition method, which requires, that for nonpublic entities that used the minimum value method for either pro forma or financial statement recognition purposes, SFAS No. 123R shall be applied to option grants on and after the required effective date. For options granted prior to the SFAS No. 123R effective date that remain unvested on that date, the Company continues to recognize compensation expense under the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25. In addition, the Company continues to amortize those awards valued prior to January 1, 2006 utilizing an accelerated amortization schedule, while it expenses all options granted or modified after January 1, 2006 on a straight-line basis.
The Company has elected to use the "with and without" approach as described in EITF Topic No. D-32 in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company will only recognize a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. In addition, the Company has elected to account for the indirect effects of stock-based awards on other tax attributes, such as the research tax credit, through its statement of operations.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, 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, and FIN 28.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) consists of two components, net income/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss). Other comprehensive income/(loss) refers to gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders' equity but are excluded from net income/(loss). The Company's other comprehensive income/(loss) includes foreign currency translation

Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders by dividing its net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less the weighted average unvested common shares subject to repurchase by the Company. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is calculated using the two-class method; however, preferred stock dividends were not included in the Company's diluted net loss per share calculations because to do so would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financials statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file a return in a particular jurisdiction. Under the Interpretation, the financial statements must reflect expected future tax consequences of these positions presuming the taxing authorities' full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The Interpretation also revises disclosure requirements and introduces a prescriptive, annual, tabular roll-forward of the unrecognized tax benefits. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. See Note 11 for additional information, including the effects of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 3—Acquisitions
Acquisition of iFone Holdings Limited
On March 29, 2006, the Company acquired the net assets of iFone in order to continue to deepen and broaden its game library, to acquire access and rights to leading licenses and franchises and to augment its external production resources. These factors contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.
The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of iFone in exchange for the issuance of 3,423 shares of Special Junior Preferred Stock of the Company and $3,500 in cash. In addition, subject to the completion of specified milestones, the Company committed to issue a total of 871 shares of Special Junior Preferred Stock of the Company and $4,500 in subordinated unsecured promissory notes to the iFone shareholders. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock of Glu to 17,031 shares. The milestones outlined in the purchase agreement for which contingent consideration was agreed to be issued were not achieved during the period to earn this additional consideration. As the milestone consideration was not earned, these amounts have not been reflected in these financial statements.
The total purchase price of approximately $23,502 consisted of the following: 3,423 shares of Special Junior Preferred Stock of the Company (valued at $19,098 based on a weighted income and market comparable approach), $3,500 of cash and transaction costs of $904.
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of iFone from the date of acquisition. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company allocated the total purchase price of $23,502 to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

The above table includes reductions to acquired goodwill to reflect adjustments to certain assumed liabilities upon completion of the purchase price allocation.
The Company has recorded an estimate for costs to terminate certain activities associated with the iFone operations in accordance with the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3,Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. This restructuring accrual of $1,180

Note 3—Acquisitions (Continued)
principally related to the termination of 41 iFone employees. At September 30, 2007, no restructuring liabilities related to iFone employees remained accrued.
Of the total purchase price, $4,500 was allocated to amortizable intangible assets. The amortizable intangible assets are being amortized using a straight-line method over the respective estimated useful life of two to five years.
In conjunction with the acquisition of iFone, the Company recorded a $1,500 expense for acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") during the first quarter of 2006 because feasibility of the acquired technology had not been established and no future alternative uses existed. The IPR&D expense is included in operating expenses in its consolidated statements of operation in the year ended December 31, 2006.
The IPR&D is related to the development of new game titles. The Company determined the value of acquired IPR&D using the discounted cash flow approach. The Company calculated the present value of the expected future cash flows attributable to the in-process technology using a 21% discount rate. This rate takes into account the percentage of completion of the development effort of approximately 20% and the risks associated with the Company's developing this technology given changes in trends and technology in the industry. As of December 31, 2006, these acquired IPR&D projects had been completed at costs similar to the original projections.
The Company based the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and IPR&D acquired on management's estimates, currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. The Company based the allocation of the purchase price on the fair value of these net assets acquired determined using the income and market valuation approaches.
The Company allocated the residual value of $22,828 to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

At September 30, 2007, the Company performed its annual test for goodwill impairment as required by SFAS No. 142. The Company determined that it operates three reporting units for the purposes of SFAS No. 142. The Company attributes its goodwill to both its Americas and Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") reporting units. The Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired since the fair value of its reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values, including goodwill. The primary methods used to determine the fair values for SFAS No. 142 impairment purposes were the discounted cash flow and market methods. The Company determined the assumptions supporting the discounted cash flow method using its best estimates as of the date of the impairment review. The Company continuously monitors events and circumstances to determine if a subsequent goodwill impairment review is necessary outside of the annual impairment review.
The Company attributes all of the goodwill resulting from the Macrospace acquisition to its EMEA reporting unit. The goodwill resulting from the iFone acquisition is evenly attributed to its Americas and EMEA reporting units. The goodwill allocated to the Americas reporting unit is denominated in U.S. Dollars, and the goodwill allocated to the Company's EMEA reporting unit is denominated in Pounds Sterling. As a result, the goodwill attributed to the EMEA reporting unit is subject to foreign currency fluctuations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, goodwill increased by $1,236 due to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Pound Sterling. During the year ended December 31, 2006, goodwill increased by $3,081 due to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Pound Sterling. Goodwill at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $39,963 and $38,727, respectively.
Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating facility leases with various expiration dates through July 2012. Rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $564 and $438, respectively. Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,467 and $1,207, respectively. The terms of the facility leases provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. The deferred rent balance was $599 and $225 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and was included within other long-term liabilities.

Capital Lease
The Company has one lease that it accounts for as a capital lease. It capitalized a total of $114 as computer equipment under this lease during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company recorded no capital lease obligations during the year ended December 31, 2006 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Accumulated depreciation associated with this capital lease was $66 and $47 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had no remaining capital lease obligations.
Minimum Guaranteed Royalties
The Company has entered into license and development agreements with various owners of brands and other intellectual property so that it could develop and publish games for mobile handsets. Pursuant to some of these agreements, the Company is required to pay minimal royalties over the term of the agreements regardless of actual game sales. Future minimum royalty payments for those agreements as of September 30, 2007 were as follows:
Fiscal Year:

Commitments in the above table include $7,164 of guaranteed royalties to licensors that are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 because the licensors do not have any significant performance obligations. These commitments are included in both current and long-term prepaid and accrued royalties.
Indemnification Arrangements
The Company has entered into agreements under which it indemnifies each of its officers and directors during his or her lifetime for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company's request in that capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company

Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company had recorded no liabilities for these agreements as of September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company includes standard indemnification provisions in most of its license agreements with carriers and other distributors. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company indemnifies these parties for losses suffered or incurred in connection with its games, including as a result of intellectual property infringement and viruses, worms and other malicious software. The term of these indemnity provisions is generally perpetual after execution of the corresponding license agreement, and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is generally unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle indemnified claims of these types. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnity provisions is minimal. Accordingly, the Company had recorded no liabilities for these provisions as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Contingencies
The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company's management does not believe that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operation, and thus no amounts were accrued for these exposures at September 30, 2007.
Note 7—Debt
Loan Agreement
In May 2006, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan") with a principal in the amount of $12,000. The Loan had an interest rate of 11%. The Company was obligated to pay only interest through December 31, 2006. Beginning January 1, 2007, the Company became obligated to pay 30 equal payments of principal and accrued interest until the entire principal is paid. All borrowings were repaid in full in March 2007. As a result of the repayment, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $66 were amortized to interest expense during the first quarter of 2007.
In conjunction with the Loan, the Company issued to entities affiliated with the lender warrants to purchase 106 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with an exercise price of $9.03 per share and a contractual life of seven years. The Company calculated the fair value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 73%, term of seven years, risk-free interest rate of 5.1% and dividend yield of 0%. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants of $607 as a discount to the carrying value of the Loan. Upon repayment of the Loan in March 2007, the remaining unamortized debt discount of $477 was
amortized in full to interest expense. These warrants converted into warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock upon the closing of the IPO and remained outstanding at September 30, 2007.
Line of Credit Facility
In February 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to secure a revolving line of credit that allows the Company to borrow up to $8,000. The facility is restricted to 80% of the Company's eligible domestic accounts receivable. The line carries an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 1% and matures in 24 months. Payments on any borrowings would be interest only with any remaining borrowings due at maturity. The line is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property. The Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $3,000. Also, if the Company's net cash balance, excluding any borrowings under this line of credit, declines below $3,500, then the Company's

Note 7—Debt (Continued)
accounts receivable must be collected by means of a lock box, the interest rate on any borrowings would be increased to the prime rate plus 2% and the Company would have to pay a one-time fee to the lender of $50. To date, there have been no borrowings under this facility. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2007.
Note 8—Sale of ProvisionX Software
In January 2007, the Company signed an agreement with a third party for the sale of its ProvisionX software for $1,100. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will co-own the intellectual property rights to the ProvisionX software, excluding any alterations or modifications following completion of the sale, by the third party. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of assets of $1,040 during the first quarter of 2007 which included approximately $60 of selling costs incurred during the transition.
Note 9—Stockholders' Equity/(Deficit)
Common Stock
In March 2007, the Company completed its IPO of common stock in which it sold and issued 7,300 shares of common stock at an issue price of $11.50 per share. The Company raised a total of $83,950 in gross proceeds from the IPO, or approximately $74,758 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $5,877 and other offering costs of $3,315. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding automatically converted into 15,680 shares of common stock.
In April 2007, the underwriters exercised a portion of the over-allotment option as to 199 shares, all of which were sold by stockholders and not by the Company.
Early Exercise of Employee Options
Stock options granted under the Company's stock option plan provide certain employee option holders the right to elect to exercise unvested options in exchange for shares of restricted common stock. Unvested shares, in the amounts of 64 and 108 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, were subject to a repurchase right held by the Company at the original issuance price in the event the optionees' employment is terminated either voluntarily or involuntarily. For exercises of employee options, this right generally lapses as to 25% of the shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the vesting start date and as to 1/48th of the shares monthly thereafter. These repurchase terms are considered to be a forfeiture provision and do not result in variable accounting. The restricted shares issued upon early exercise of stock options are legally issued and outstanding and have been reflected in stockholders' equity/(deficit). The Company treats cash received from employees for exercise of unvested options as a refundable deposit shown as a liability in its consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company included cash received for early exercise of options of $56 and $92, respectively, in accrued liabilities. Amounts from accrued liabilities are transferred into common stock and additional paid-in capital as the shares vest.
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
In connection with the issuance of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 20 shares of common stock. These warrants had an exercise price of $0.36 per share and an expiration date of December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2006, these warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of $7.
Upon the effective date of the IPO, warrants to purchase 229 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into warrants to purchase 229 shares of common stock. As discussed in Note 1, the Company classified the freestanding redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants as a liability and adjusted the warrants to fair value at each reporting period until the completion of the IPO. Upon closing
93

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
Note 9—Stockholders' Equity/(Deficit) (Continued)
of the IPO, the preferred stock warrant liability of $1,985 was reclassed to additional paid-in capital. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, a holder of warrants elected to net exercise warrants to purchase 52 shares of common stock which were converted to 41 shares of common stock.
In February 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 272 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.0003 per share to certain holders of Series D or D-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock as an inducement for these holders to convert their preferred stock into common stock upon the consummation of the Company's IPO. These warrants expired 30 days following the completion of the Company's IPO, and if the date of effectiveness of that offering did not occur by March 31, 2007 or earlier, the warrants would expire at that time. In connection with the issuance of the warrants, the Company received an agreement to convert all shares of preferred stock to common stock upon completion of the Company's IPO from holders of the requisite number of shares to cause that conversion, provided that the registration statement for the initial public offering was effective on or before March 31, 2007. The Company recorded a deemed dividend of $3,100 in connection with the issuance of the warrants during the three months ending March 31, 2007. The deemed dividend represented the fair value of the warrants and was calculated using the share price at the date of the IPO closing of $11.50 per share and the strike price of the warrants of $0.0003 per share. These warrants were exercised in April 2007.
As of September 30, 2007, warrants to purchase 177 shares of common stock remained outstanding.
Note 10—Stock Option Plans and Stock Purchase Plan
2001 Stock Plan
In December 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"). The 2001 Plan provides for the granting of stock options to employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had authorized 4,498 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2001 Plan.
2007 Equity Incentive Plan
In January 2007, the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and in March 2007 the stockholders approved, the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The Company has reserved 1,766 shares of its common stock for grant and issuance under the 2007 Plan. In addition, shares not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 2001 Plan on the date of adoption of the 2007 Plan and any shares issued under the 2001 Plan that are forfeited or repurchased by the Company or that are issuable upon exercise of options that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, will be available for grant and issuance under the 2007 Plan. At the time of adoption, there were 1,766 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan plus 195 shares of common stock from the 2001 Plan that were unissued.
The Company may grant options under the 2007 Plan at prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by its Board of Directors, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO or NSO may not be less than 100% or 85%, respectively, of the estimated fair value of the underlying shares of common stock on the grant date, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO or NSO granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the grant date.
2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In January 2007, the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and in March 2007 the stockholders approved, the 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2007 Purchase Plan). The Company has reserved 667 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2007 Purchase Plan.

Options exercisable at September 30, 2007 | | | | 1,328 | | $ | 3.74 | | 5.09 | | $ | 7,398 |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted closing price of the Company's common stock of $9.07 per share as of September 30, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under the Company's stock option plans was $159. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had $8,443 of total unrecognized compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R, net of estimated forfeitures, that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.68 years. As permitted by SFAS No. 123R, the Company has deferred the recognition of its excess tax benefit from non-qualified stock option exercises.
Included in the above table are four non-employee stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The non-employee options outstanding had an exercise price of $11.00 per share, a remaining contractual term of one year and no intrinsic value at September 30, 2007.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company estimated the fair value of each option award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table.
| | Three Months Ended September 30,

Expected volatility | | 52.9 | % | 74.3 | % | 57.84 | % | 75.0 | % |
The Company based expected volatility on the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded entities. The expected term of options gave consideration to early exercises, post-vesting cancellations and the options' contractual term, which was extended for all options granted subsequent to September 12, 2005 from five to ten years. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Rate as of the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123R requires nonpublic companies that used the minimum value method under SFAS No. 123 to apply the prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the minimum value method, and it therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods. Under the prospective method, stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes compensation

expense for (i) all new stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, (ii) unmodified awards granted prior to but not vested as of December 31, 2005 accounted for under APB No. 25 and (iii) awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005 that were modified after the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
The Company calculated employee stock-based compensation expense recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reduced it for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Consolidated net cash proceeds from option exercises were $151 and $127 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company realized no income tax benefit from stock option exercises during the three months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006. As required, the Company presents excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, if any, as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company modified one option agreement. The modification involved the acceleration of the vesting of one grant totaling 1 share of common stock. The Company recorded a charge of $5 in connection with this modification for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company modified four option agreements including grants made to two members of the Company's Board of Directors. The modifications included the repricing of one option for 50 shares of common stock from $4.80 to $3.57 per share and accelerating the vesting of two other grants totaling 21 shares of common stock. The Company recorded a charge of $43 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 in connection with these modifications.
Restricted Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company granted 4 shares of restricted stock to a director of the Company who had elected to receive restricted stock in lieu of an option grant. The restricted stock vest as to 50% of the shares after six months and thereafter will vest pro rata monthly for the next six months. The Company did not grant any restricted stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Note 11—Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $228 and $192 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The company recorded an income tax provision of $813 and $438 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The income tax rates vary from the Federal and State statutory rates due to the valuation allowances on our net operating losses, foreign tax rate differences, and withholding taxes.

Note 11—Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $575. As of September 30, 2007, the recognition of the uncertain tax benefits above would not have an impact to our effective tax rate. In the absence of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets the recognition of these uncertain tax benefits would have an impact to our effective tax rate.
The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions that would result in a payment of cash taxes, and as such, the Company does not have any interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as of the reporting date. As of September 30, 2007, the Company did not have any penalties accrued for uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. The material jurisdictions subject to examination by tax authorities are primarily the State of California, United States and United Kingdom. The Company's federal tax return is open by statute for tax years 2003 and forward and could be subject to examination by the tax authorities. The Company's California income tax returns are open by statute for tax years 2002 and forward. The statute of limitations for the Company's 2005 tax return in the United Kingdom will close in 2008.
Note 12—Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Statements No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. It defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company's Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information on a geographic basis, however these aggregate into one operating segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company reports as a single operating segment—mobile games. It attributes revenues to geographic areas based on the country in which the carrier's principal operations are located.
The Company generates its revenues in the following geographic regions:

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement dated November 28, 2007.
On November 28, 2007, Glu Mobile Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Glu") and its wholly owned subsidiary Maverick Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Beijing Zhangzhong MIG Information Technology Co. Ltd. ("MIG").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into an entity affiliated of MIG (the "Merger"), with the MIG-affiliated entity to be the surviving entity of the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Glu. In connection with the Merger, Glu will pay cash consideration valued at approximately $14.7 million at closing with additional payments of up to $25 million in cash and stock, contingent upon the achievement by MIG of specified financial milestones during 2008, with a portion of the additional payments subject to vesting upon continued employment of the principal officers of MIG. The Merger remains subject to customary closing conditions.
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of each of the parties to the Merger Agreement and the assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties delivered in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. The parties reserve the right to, but are not obligated to, amend or revise the Merger Agreement or the disclosure schedules. In addition, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, or for any other purpose, at the time they were made or otherwise.

SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Superscape Group plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales and its ordinary shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange.
The condensed consolidated interim financial information was approved for issue by the Board of directors on 26 September 2007.
These interim financial results do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 January 2007 were approved by the Board of directors on 19 April 2007 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under Section 237 of the Companies Act 1985.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the 6 months ended 31 July 2007 has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted by the European Union. The interim condensed consolidated financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2007, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.
Presentation of financial information
As the Group's principal assets and operations are based in the USA and the majority of its operations are conducted in US Dollars, the Group changed its reporting currency from Pounds Sterling to US Dollars with effect from 1 February 2007. The Group redenominated its share capital into US Dollars on 1 February 2007 and will retain all reserves in US Dollars. Financial information for prior periods has been restated from Pounds Sterling into US Dollars in accordance with IAS 21.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2007, as described in those annual financial statements
The following new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the financial year ending 31 January 2008.
- •
- IFRIC 7, 'Applying the restatement approach under IAS 29', effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1 2006. This interpretation is not relevant for the Group.
- •
- IFRIC 8, 'Scope of IFRS 2', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 May 2006. This interpretation has not had any impact on the recognition of share-based payments in the Group.
- •
- IFRIC 9, 'Reassessment of embedded derivatives', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2006. This interpretation is not relevant for the Group.
- •
- IFRIC 10, 'Interims and impairment', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 November 2006. This interpretation has not had any impact on the timing of recognition of impairment losses as the Group already accounted for such amounts using principles consistent with IFRIC 10.
- •
- IFRS 7, 'Financial instruments: Disclosures', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. IAS 1, 'Amendments to capital disclosures', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. IFRS 4, 'Insurance contracts', revised implementation guidance, effective when an entity adopts IFRS 7. As this interim report contains only condensed financial statements, and as there are no material financial instrument related transactions in the period, full IFRS 7 disclosures are not required at this stage.

SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not effective for the financial year ending 31 January 2008 and have not been early adopted:

- •
- IFRIC 12, 'Service concession arrangements', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. Management do not expect this interpretation to be relevant to the Group.
- •
- IFRS 8, 'Operating segments', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, subject to EU endorsement. Management is currently considering the impact of this statement on the Group's geographical segments.

SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
NOTES:
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statements of Superscape Group PLC (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 January 2007 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution by the Board of Directors on 19 April 2007 and the balance sheet was signed on the Board's behalf by D. Goodman. Superscape Group plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England & Wales and its ordinary shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange.
The Group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985. The principal accounting policies adopted by the group are set out in note 2.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in UK Sterling and have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Adopted IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. The measurement and impairment assessment of intangible assets and goodwill, the measurement and recoverability assessment of advanced royalties and the estimation of share based payment costs are the key areas that require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making the judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Superscape Group plc and all its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 January 2007. Intra-group transactions and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all its subsidiaries for the full year or from the date of acquisition if later. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Deferred consideration payable in shares is initially recorded at fair value. Upon subsequent issuance of the shares, the nominal value is recorded in share capital with the excess recorded in share premium. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
114
SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense of foreign operations are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period. Exchange differences arising are transferred to translation reserve. Cumulative translation differences are recognised within the income statement in the period in which operations are disposed of.
Revenue
Revenues are derived primarily by licensing software products in the form of mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on an outright purchase or subscription basis. An outright purchase gives an end user the right to use the licensed game on the registered handset for as long as they own the handset. A subscription license gives an end user the right to use the licensed game for a limited period of time, usually one month. The Group distributes its products through mobile telecommunications service providers ("carriers"), which then market the games to end users. License fees for outright purchase and subscription licenses are usually billed by the carrier upon download of the game by the end user. Subsequent billings for subscription licenses are generally billed monthly. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.
The Group derives limited revenue under third party software development contracts. Revenue and associated costs under these arrangements are recognized as follows:
- •
- On long-term contracts, those with a duration of more than 12 months or those contracts that span more than one accounting period, using a percentage basis as the work is completed and any relevant milestones are met, using latest estimates to determine the expected duration and cost of the project
- •
- On short-term contracts, when the completed project has been delivered to and accepted by, the customer.
Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Rental income arising from the sublease of property accounted for as an operating lease is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease and is offset against the rental cost of such property.
Advanced royalties
Royalty advances paid to Intellectual Property owners are deferred as a prepayment in order to be matched with the revenue generated following the release of the game. The royalties are charged to the income startement when the actual liability arises, which is when the sales are generated after the release of the game.
Management assesses the carrying value of the prepaid advance royalties on a semi annual basis. The assessment is based on the likely recoverability of the advance on a title by title basis in the context of up to date revenue projections for each title. Advances paid on games that are subsequently aborted are written off to sales and marketing expense on the date that the game is aborted. Reserves are provided and charged to sales and marketing expense where the projected revenues are not considered sufficient to cover the advances.
Research and development
Expenditure on research is written off in the period in which it is incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalised where it relates to a specific project where technical feasibility has been established, adequate technical, financial and other resources exist to complete the project, the expenditure attributable to the project can be measured reliably and overall project profitability is
115
SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
reasonably certain. In this case, it is recognised as an intangible asset and amortised over its useful economic life, typically being a maximum period of eighteen months from the date the product is first sold or licenced. All other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on assets at rates calculated to write-off the cost less residual values, estimated at each balance sheet date, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Fixtures and fittings | | 10%-20% straight line |
Computer equipment | | 33%-50% straight line |
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Goodwill
On the acquisition of a subsidiary or business, the purchase consideration is allocated between the identifiable assets and liabilities on a fair value basis, with any excess purchase consideration representing goodwill, which is not amortised.
Goodwill is recognised as an intangible asset and reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Any impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement and may not be subsequently reversed.
Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash generating units expected to benefit from the combination's synergies. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. This is usually at business segment level or statutory company level as the case may be. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount an impairment loss is recognised. On disposal of a subsidiary or business, the attributable goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are carried initially at cost. An intangible asset acquired as part of a business combination is recognised outside goodwill if the asset is separable or arises from contractual or other legal rights and its fair value can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations comprise: customer based assets (e.g. network operator lists, network operator relationships); software and systems (e.g. developed software games, application infrastructure, product delivery platforms, in-process research and development); contract-based assets (e.g publishing rights); and other intangible assets. Purchased intangible assets comprise patents.
Following initial recognition, the historic cost model is applied, with intangible assets being carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with a finite life have no residual value and are amortised on a straight line basis over their expected useful lives with charges included in administrative expenses, as follows:
- •
- purchased intangibles (e,g, patents and trademarks)—5 years
- •
- acquired through business combinations—4-5 years;
116
SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In addition, the carrying value of capitalised development expenditure is reviewed for impairment annually before being brought into use.
Research and development tax credits
Research and development tax credits are recognised in full in the income statement of the year in which the expense is incurred.
Impairment
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses on continuing operations are recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in income statement unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, expected future cash flows are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance policy, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when recovery is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to unwinding the discount is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
The Group contributes to defined contribution schemes for the benefit of its directors and employees. Contributions to these schemes are charged in the period in which they become payable.
Share-based payments
The fair value of share-based remuneration is determined at date of grant and recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, taking account of the estimated number of shares that will vest. The fair value is determined by use of a Black-Scholes pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of
117
SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. All share-based remuneration is equity-settled.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised over the remainder of the vesting period for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is the tax arising on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable loss, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised on temporary differences arising in respect of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes.
No provision is made for deferred tax which would become payable on the distribution of retained profits by foreign subsidiaries, unless there is an intention to distribute such retained profits.
Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Movements in deferred tax are charged or credited in the income statement, except when they relate to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis. The aggregate benefit of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the Group's benefit from the use of the leased asset.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised at the lower of their original value and recoverable amount. Provision is made where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to recover balances in full. Where the probability of recovery is remote balances are written off.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and short-term deposits with an original maturity of up to 3 months.

Deferred tax liabilities have been recognised in respect of rolled over gains. Deferred tax assets of £6.596m (2006: £5,506) in respect of trading losses in the US and deferred tax assets of £12.427m (2006: £11,033) in respect of trading losses in the UK have not been recognised due to the uncertainty of the availability of future profits against which to utilise them. Net operating losses for US tax purposes expire over the period through 2027. UK net operating losses carry forward without limit of time. There is no potential deferred tax asset on the unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries and joint ventures.

12. IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES WITH INDEFINITE LIVES
The Group has goodwill that has been acquired through business combinations but does not have any intangible assets that have indefinite lives. The goodwill has been allocated for impairment testing purposes to individual companies on the basis that these are the lowest level cash generating units at which the Group is able to monitor the resulting goodwill.
The recoverable amount for the cash generating units has been determined using cash flow projections covering a period of between 3 and 5 years based on financial budgets approved by the Board for the year ending 31 January 2008 and historical sales growth beyond that date. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 19%. The cash flows beyond 31 January 2008 have been extrapolated based on internal sales forecasts of revenues.

Key assumptions in value in use calculations
The calculation of value in use are most sensitive to the following:
Gross margins—these have been based on the projected gross margin from the 2007/08 budget which took into account gross margins in the immediately preceding period as adjusted for any operational changes.
Discount rates—these reflect management's estimates of the cost of capital adjusted for the inherent risk associated with the forecasted royalty revenue stream.
Revenue projections—these have been based on the projected revenues by title from the 2007/08 budget which took into account revenue performance in the immediately preceding period as adjusted for operational and market changes. They also reflect management's estimates of the shelf life of individual game titles based on a historic review of existing internal titles and the performance of similar titles across the market as a whole.
Sensitivity to change in assumptions
Management believe that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the units to exceed the recoverable amount.
13. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
During the year ended 31 January 2006 the Group established Penultimate, Inc. and on 14 July 2005 Penultimate Inc. acquired for cash consideration of $3,000,000 plus directly attributable expenses of $43,797 certain assets and the business interests of Penultimate Games. Deferred consideration of £730,000 was paid during the year ended 31 January 2007 based on the revenue performance of acquired Penultimate game titles over the 12 month period from the acquisition date. This transaction has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The disclosures required by IAS32 in relation to the nature of financial instruments used during the period to mitigate liquidity and foreign currency risk are disclosed below.
The Group's financial instruments comprise cash and liquid resources as well as items such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from the Group's operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for the Group's operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group's policy that no trading in financial instruments should be undertaken.
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. These policies have remained unchanged throughout the period.
Interest Rate risk
The Group has significant cash balances and its policy is to limit its exposure to interest rates by placing deposits on the money markets with a range of maturities of up to 3 months.
Foreign currency risk
Historically, the Group has not used derivative instruments to hedge against possible risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as the exposure has been limited.
The Group has subsidiaries operating in the United States of America, Russia and Japan which have assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Upon conversion into sterling this results in an exposure through exchange rate movements on the Group's sterling balance sheet.
With the previously announced restructuring now complete and more than 90% of the Group's revenues being generated from operations in the United States the Board has decided that, in an effort to lower the Group's exposure to currency translation risk on revenues profits and equity, with effect from 1 February 2007 the Group's reporting currency and functional currency will be changed to the US Dollar.
Interest rate risk profile of financial instruments
The interest rate profile of the financial assets of the group was as follows:
| | Floating interest rate financial assets
| | Financial assets on which no interest is earned
| | Total
|
---|
| | £000

| |
| |
| |
|
| | 5,438 | | 1,689 | | 7,127 |
| |
| |
| |
|
Floating interest rate financial assets comprise cash and short-term deposits on money market deposit at call which earn interest at floating rates by reference to Sterling LIBOR.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
The carrying value of all financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments held.

SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC
20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
The Group's other foreign currency denomination assets and liabilities are not significant.
Credit risk
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. The maximum credit risk exposure relating to financial assets is represented by carrying value as at the balance sheet date.

23. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Superscape has three schemes for which there are grants outstanding but not exercised. Since October 2003 two of the schemes are closed and options have only been granted under the remaining 1999 Performance Related Stock Incentive Plan. A description of the plan is included in the Directors' Remuneration Report. The fair value of all options granted since 7th November 2002 and not vested as at 1st January 2005 is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The expense for the year ended 31 January 2007 was £216,000 (2006 £411,000). The fair value has been measured using the Black-Scholes model. The material inputs into the model have been:
Share Options

Weighted average fair value | | 8.27p | | 15.30p |
Weighted average share price at grant | | 12.71p | | 23.53p |

14. Financial and trading prospects
The rules governing takeovers in the United Kingdom require Glu to include in the Offer Document a statement regarding its financial and trading prospects. On 1 November 2007, Glu provided the following business outlook for the calendar year ending 31 December 2008:
"• GAAP revenue is expected to be between $80 million and $85 million
- •
- GAAP net loss is expected to be between US$(1.2) million and US$(3.8) million, or between US$(0.04) to US$(0.13) per basic share; weighted average common shares outstanding for the calendar year 2008 are expected to be approximately 29.5 million basic and 32.0 million diluted.
- •
- Non GAAP net income is expected to be between US$3.7 million and US$6.3 million, or between US$0.12 and US$0.20 per diluted share, which excludes US$1.2 million for amortization of intangibles and approximately US$6.4 million of anticipated stock based compensation."
Subsequent to providing this outlook, Glu completed the acquisition of Beijing Zhangzhong MIG Information Technology Co. Ltd. (MIG) on 20 December 2007. When Glu initially announced that it had agreed to acquire MIG on 29 November 2007, Glu stated that it expected the MIG acquisition to be accretive to 2008 non GAAP earnings; that Glu anticipated that the acquisition will be dilutive to 2008 GAAP earnings due to the impact of non cash amortization of intangibles and, potentially, transaction based compensation charges. The full impact of the MIG acquisition on Glu in 2008 is still being evaluated given purchase accounting rules and other deal charges, and the above outlook could change when such analysis has been completed. Subject to the foregoing, Glu reaffirms the above guidance for the financial year ending 31 December 2008.
The above outlook constitutes a forward-looking statement. Actual results may be materially different than those forecast above and are affected by many factors, such as consumer demand for mobile entertainment; carriers' and distributors' marketing to consumers; carriers' maintaining their networks and provisioning systems to enable consumer purchases; the loss of key carrier customers; the impact of the acquisition of Superscape if the transactions contemplated by the Offer are consummated; risks relating to the integration of the business of MIG (and the business of Superscape if the Offer is consummated) including unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures arising from such acquisitions; employee retention; development delays on Glu's products; competition in the industry; changes in foreign exchange rates; Glu's effective tax rate and other factors detailed in Glu's SEC filings. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the forward looking information. These and other factors should be considered carefully and undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking information. Please refer to Glu's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for a list of the risk factors that may affect Glu's results and operations atwww.glu.com orwww.sec.gov.
For the purposes of this paragraph 14, all references to GAAP are to US GAAP.
