ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
JumpTV, a corporation incorporated on January 14, 2000 under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) whose shares of common stock (the “Shares”) are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, is a leading Internet Protocol (“IP”) television company based on the number of channels that it streams, the breadth of its end-to-end enterprise IPTV solution and the expanse of its professional and college sports client base, as discussed below in this Item 1 under the headings “Products” and “Competition.” It began as a professional services provider and has evolved since its inception to become a provider of a comprehensive suite of technology and other services to sports and international content owners and aggregators, affording them an end-to-end enterprise “IPTV” solution. “IPTV” refers to the distribution over an IP network of streamed audio, video and other multimedia content, similar to television programming content, using industry-standard streaming protocols. By “end-to-end enterprise IPTV solution,” the Company means that it provides the following services:
· content management — encoding of various digital and analog TV and video formats
· subscriber management — managing subscriber access and control of subscriber accounts
· digital rights management — preserving the integrity of the content and protecting it from unauthorized access
· billing services — enabling customers to view subscription accounts and providing pay-per-view transactional billing, payment processing and advertising insertion
· delivery — delivering streamed audio, video and other multimedia content anywhere, anytime through JumpTV’s IPTV service and infrastructure
JumpTV’s business objective is to enter into agreements with companies seeking private networks to reach target audiences and to provide complete IPTV services to these companies.
Customer Relationships
JumpTV has two types of relationships — business-to-consumer (“B2C”) and business-to-business (“B2B”).
The B2C relationships are more individual consumer oriented. JumpTV has signed distribution agreements with individual channel or content providers in exchange for royalty payments to such providers. JumpTV then markets the content on one (or more) of the targeted websites that the company has developed which is focused on a specific diaspora community (e.g. Talfazat, LLC for the Middle East community; TV-Desi, Inc. for the South Asian community), as well as on the general JumpTV website for purchase by an end user. The Company often aggregates the content into bundles or packages of similar interest. The Company incurs marketing expenses in promoting the availability of the content. JumpTV expects to have this group of customer relationships migrate to a B2B relationship over time through partnerships and/or affiliates (partially or wholly owned) that group the content into similar interests.
The B2B relationships have been the focus of the Company in the past and are expected to be the focus in the future. A B2B relationship is focused on providing an end-to-end solution to a customer to enable that customer to provide IPTV to its end users. This type of relationship is different than above in that the B2B customer typically aggregates the content, negotiates the licensing rights and markets

directly the availability of the content. This customer avails itself of the full services of the Company in delivery to its end users. This type of relationship is typical in the professional and sports properties and our agreement with Sky Angel U.S. LLC (“Sky Angel”), a faith-based-programming content provider.
The United States and Canada are the principal markets in which our sales occur.
Products
Sports Programming
JumpTV offers live and on-demand sports content. JumpTV has content and distribution agreements with leading professional and collegiate sports properties. Amongst professional sports leagues, JumpTV counts the National Football League (“NFL”), the National Hockey League (“NHL”), the American Hockey League, and Universal Sports as clients. JumpTV also owns IPTV rights to distribute in North America live streaming of South American Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup Qualifier games in 2009. JumpTV also operates a portfolio of sports-oriented web sites, including Jumptv.com, Sportsya.com, Cycling.tv and CollegeSportsDirect.com. On the collegiate landscape, JumpTV is the premier partner for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) colleges and universities, with agreements in place with approximately 170 colleges, universities or related sites.
Ethnic/International and Specialty Programming
JumpTV also offers what is referred to in the industry as “ethnic television,” which JumpTV defines as television directed at a specific diaspora community, as determined by a shared nationality, language or culture, generally excluding communities for which English is the primary language. JumpTV has license agreements directly with television broadcasters (referred to as “channel partners”) representing approximately 160 channels in 35 countries that give the Company rights to stream, predominantly on an exclusive world-wide basis and generally for an initial four-year term, the channel partners’ live linear television feeds over the public Internet.
Distribution Methods
JumpTV distributes content through two primary distribution methods:
· Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices; and
· Standard television through use of a JumpTV Internet-connected set top box (“STB”).
Both of JumpTV’s distribution methods take advantage of an open IPTV network, the public Internet. As a result, content delivered by JumpTV is available globally and is potentially unlimited in breadth.
Revenue
JumpTV earns revenue in four broad categories:
· Subscriber revenue consists of recurring revenue based on subscriber usage, bandwidth usage fees for the JumpTV infrastructure and/or technology usage fees based on the number of subscribers. The subscriber revenue is typically based on a monthly, quarterly or annual
3
Table of Contents
billing cycle to end users through our billing systems and can be either a fixed fee per user or a variable fee measured as a percentage of the end user pricing.
· eCommerce revenue consists of JumpTV services provided to its content providers, which services include software applications for merchandising (i.e. sale of merchandise), ticketing for a content provider’s events and management of a content provider’s donor efforts. Included in eCommerce revenue is advertising revenue earned through the insertion of Internet advertising on websites and in streaming video.
· Technology services revenue consists of the set up and maintenance services JumpTV provides related to our technology such as website (Internet) or console (STBs) design, user interface optimization and streaming configuration. Included in technology services revenue is the licensing of the technology required to convert, compress and transmit the video signals to our content distribution network and ultimately the end users.
· Equipment revenue consists of the sale of STBs to content partners and/or end users to enable the end user to receive the content over the Internet and display the signal on a standard television.
Competition
JumpTV faces competition from other online content providers who also offer sports, entertainment, and/or international programming. In addition, there are multiple operators of pirated video content who stream content for which they have not received consent from the legal and beneficial owners of such content. Furthermore, there are multiple front-end providers that provide a menu of links to streaming video content via websites on the Internet. These bootleggers and front-end providers have varying menus of ethnic content and offer such content at varying degrees of streaming quality. Moreover, certain IPTV service providers have an internal IP distribution strategy whereby they make their live linear feeds, as well as repurposed content, available through their own websites on a paid basis or free advertisement-supported basis.
New technologies and entrants could also have a material adverse effect on the demand for JumpTV’s IPTV offerings. For example, fixed line telecommunications and mobile telephony companies who offer or plan to offer video services may be competitors to JumpTV. Together with other industry observers, JumpTV has witnessed and expects to witness the launch of various closed network IPTV services around the world. As they strive to maintain and grow their customer bases, fixed line telecommunications companies will likely see closed network IPTV as a central element of a “triple-play” strategy that will package telephone, television and Internet services in a single offering.
Finally, JumpTV may be placed at a competitive disadvantage to the extent that other video providers are able to offer programming in higher definition than JumpTV. While the Company expects that it will continue to offer its video content at increasingly higher streaming speeds, there can be no assurance that it will be able to compete effectively with high definition program offerings from other video providers.
To distinguish our product line from our competitors’ offerings, we seek to be a “one-stop shopping” source for our customers. Our suite of technology and other services is directed at the entire spectrum of content aggregation and delivery. Our services include:
· content ingestion;
· web site design and hosting;
4
Table of Contents
· live and on-demand streaming of content on multiple platforms;
· billing services;
· facilitating online merchandise sales;
· mobile features (streaming highlights, alerts, wallpaper and ring tones);
· online ticketing;
· auction engine (jerseys, tickets);
· social networking;
· customer and fan support; and
· marketing and advertising sales.
Many competitors in our markets offer far narrower choices of services than we offer. For example, some content providers deliver only their own content, while we offer the content of multiple providers. Or, an agency may provide only online ticketing services, while we also provide related online shopping and fan networking. We also provide the STBs used to view our content on a television set. We strive to meet every customer’s needs at every level and partner with them across product lines and extensions.
Supplier Dependence
The Company depends significantly upon TransVideo International, Ltd. (“TransVideo”), a related party, to provide the STBs used by the Company’s customers.
Customer Dependence
For the year ended December 31, 2008, three customers accounted for 54% of revenue as follows: 32%, 12% and 10%. For the year ended December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 85% of revenue as follows: 68% and 17%. For the year ended December 31, 2006, four customers accounted for 72% of revenue as follows: 33%, 16%, 13% and 10%.
Seasonality
Our sports content business is subject to fluctuation because demand for our sports programming corresponds to the lengths of the seasons of the sports for which we stream content.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
It is JumpTV’s policy to be globally compliant with intellectual property rights. Channel partners are contractually obligated to advise the Company when they schedule for airing content for which they do not hold the international distribution rights, to enable the Company to substitute compliant content in its place. The Company will rely significantly on its channel partners to ensure that the content it distributes does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
Regulation
Governments and regulatory authorities in some jurisdictions in which our subscribers reside or JumpTV content originates may impose rules and regulations requiring licensing for distribution of IPTV content over the Internet. Regulatory schemes can vary significantly from country to country. JumpTV may be subject to broadcasting or other regulations in countries in which it has subscribers or from which
5
Table of Contents
its channel partners distribute their live linear feeds to JumpTV and may not be aware of those regulations or their application to JumpTV. Further, governments and regulatory authorities in many jurisdictions regularly review their broadcasting rules and policies, including the application of those rules and policies to new and emerging media.
Traditional over-the-air and cable television broadcasting businesses are generally subject to extensive government regulation and significant regulatory oversight in most jurisdictions, including many of the countries from which JumpTV’s channels originate and many of the countries into which JumpTV distributes its content to subscribers. Regulations typically govern the issuance, amendment, renewal, transfer and ownership of over-the-air broadcast licenses, cable franchise licenses, competition and cross ownership and sometimes also govern the timing and content of programming, the timing, content and amount of commercial advertising and the amount of foreign versus domestically produced programming. In many jurisdictions, including Canada and the United States, there are also significant restrictions on the ability of foreign entities to own or control traditional over-the-air television broadcasting businesses. JumpTV is not aware of any regulations in any of the jurisdictions in which its subscribers reside that would require JumpTV to be licensed to distribute content over the public Internet.
Governments and regulatory authorities in some jurisdictions in which our subscribers reside may impose rules and regulations affecting the content distributed over IPTV:
· In the United States, JumpTV may fall within the statutory definition of a multichannel video program distributor (“MVPD”), making it subject to the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulations applicable to MVPDs. In August 2008, the FCC sought comments regarding whether regulatory fees should be imposed on IPTV service. The FCC, however, has not ruled whether providers of IPTV content over the public Internet are MVPDs, and as such, we do not consider that the statutory and regulatory requirements of MVPDs apply to JumpTV. If we were found to be an MVPD, we would be required to scramble any sexually explicit programming we distributed, close caption programs we offered subscribers, comply with certain FCC advertising regulations and be subject to the FCC’s equal employment opportunity rules, but we would not be subject to licensing or rate regulation or be required to secure approval to deliver IPTV content over the public Internet to subscribers residing in the United States.
· A European Union directive, entitled the “Audiovisual and Media Services Directive,” was adopted on December 19, 2007. This directive could subject IPTV service providers and content, including subscription-based IPTV content that is distributed over the public Internet in the United Kingdom and to other European Union member states, to regulatory requirements. European Union member states have until December 19, 2009 to implement this directive. Whether JumpTV will be subject to such requirements is currently unclear.
The service will be regulated if it is an on-demand service which contains primarily programs. The services will be regulated in the member state in which the service provider is established (for example where it has its head office and editorial control is exercised), but the service will be able to be received freely throughout the other European Union member states.
6
Table of Contents
The United Kingdom has announced that:
(a) It will adopt a co-regulatory structure with an industry regulator having primary responsibility over content issues and the Advertising Standards Association will regulate advertising on voice-on-demand services;
(b) The Office of Communications (“Ofcom”) will have backstop powers to regulate both content and advertising on such services;
(c) It will be up to the industry regulator to issue guidance on what on-demand services fall within its regulatory scope.
If JumpTV merely provides access but does not exercise editorial control over the content of a voice-on-demand service, it will not be regulated. Ofcom will not regulate JumpTV’s streamed or web cast services over the Internet.
· In Canada, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”) recently held public hearings with respect to, among other things, two exemption orders. The first is an exemption order for new media broadcasting undertakings in Public Notice 1999-197, which exempted from regulation, without terms or conditions, all new media broadcasting undertakings (defined as those undertakings that provide broadcasting services delivered and accessed over the Internet) that operate in whole or in part in Canada, and certain other related orders. The second is an exemption order for mobile television broadcasting undertakings which exempted from regulation broadcasting undertakings that provide television programming received by way of mobile devices. The CRTC asked parties to comment on whether the exemption orders for new media broadcasting undertakings and mobile television broadcasting undertakings continue to be appropriate and whether new measures and/or regulatory amendments were required. The deadline for final reply was March 27, 2009. A decision is expected in summer 2009.
Except as otherwise described, while JumpTV is not aware of any proposed regulatory initiatives regulating IPTV content in any of the jurisdictions in which its subscribers reside, we cannot assure you that regulations or orders will not be amended in the future in a manner that requires JumpTV to modify or block content in particular jurisdictions in order to continue distributing its IPTV services to subscribers in those jurisdictions or that otherwise affects JumpTV’s operations in a materially adverse manner.
JumpTV’s business may be adversely affected by foreign import, export and currency regulations and global economic conditions. JumpTV’s current and future development opportunities partly relate to geographical areas outside of the United States and Canada. There are a number of risks inherent in international business activities, including government policies concerning the import and export of goods and services, costs of localizing products and subcontractors in foreign countries, costs associated with the use of foreign agents, potentially adverse tax consequences, limits on repatriation of earnings, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, nationalization and possible social, labor, political and economic instability. There can be no assurance that such risks will not adversely affect JumpTV’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, a small portion of JumpTV’s expenditures and revenues will be in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. JumpTV’s foreign exchange exposure may vary over time with changes in the geographic mix of its business activities. Foreign currencies may be unfavorably impacted by global
7
Table of Contents
developments, country specific events and many other factors. As a result, JumpTV’s future results may be adversely affected by significant foreign exchange fluctuations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The following are specific and general risks that could affect JumpTV. If any of the circumstances described in these risk factors actually occur, or if additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to JumpTV or that JumpTV does not currently believe to be material in fact occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our Shares could decline, and you may lose part or all of your investment. In addition to carefully considering the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Registration Statement on Form 10 (the “Registration Statement”), you should also consider the risks described in Item 1 of the Registration Statement under the subheading “Regulation,” which risk factors are incorporated by reference into this Item 1A. In addition, these factors represent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements contained in the Registration Statement.
We have a history of significant operating losses and accumulated deficits that may materially and adversely affect the Company.
We have a history of significant operating losses and an accumulated deficit of $26.0 million as of December 31, 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our net loss was $11.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively. We anticipate incurring additional operating losses in the near future as we develop and deploy our network in new and existing markets, expand our services and pursue our business strategy. Our operating losses are funded with our existing cash reserves, which may not be sufficient to fund future losses. If we are unable to execute our business strategy and profitably grow our business, either as a result of the risks identified in this section or for any other reason, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
The global economic crisis could result in decreases in customer traffic and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results and have a material adverse effect on JumpTV’s liquidity and capital resources.
The global economy, including the U.S. economy, is experiencing a severe recession. As a business that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, JumpTV faces a challenging fiscal 2009 because its customers may have less money for discretionary spending as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, reduced access to credit and sharply falling home prices. Any resulting decreases in customer traffic and revenue will negatively impact our financial performance because reduced revenue results in smaller profit margins. Additionally, many of the effects and consequences of the economic recession are currently unknown; any one or all of them could potentially have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources, including our ability to raise additional capital if needed, or otherwise negatively impact our business and financial results.

Table of Contents
JumpTV may need additional financing to fund its continued growth, which may not be available.
JumpTV’s ability to increase revenue will depend in part on its ability to continue growing the business by maintaining and increasing its subscriber base, which may require significant additional capital that may not be available to JumpTV. JumpTV may need additional financing due to future developments, changes in its business plan or failure of its current business plan to succeed, which could result from increased marketing, distribution or programming costs. JumpTV’s actual funding requirements could vary materially from its current estimates. If additional financing is needed, JumpTV may not be able to raise sufficient funds on favorable terms or at all. If JumpTV issues Shares in the future, such issuance will result in the then-existing shareholders sustaining dilution to their relative proportion of the equity in JumpTV. If JumpTV fails to obtain any necessary financing on a timely basis, then its ability to execute the current business plan may be limited, and its business could be adversely affected.
JumpTV is an early-stage enterprise with a short operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate JumpTV’s prospects.
JumpTV is still in the early stage of building out its business. Many of the expenses, problems and delays encountered by an enterprise in its early stage may be beyond JumpTV’s control. As an early-stage enterprise, JumpTV expends significant funds on:
· marketing;
· building its subscriber management systems;
· programming and website development;
· maintaining adequate video-streaming and database software;
· pursuing and maintaining content distribution agreements with its content partners; and
· acquiring and maintaining Internet distribution rights to its content.
From JumpTV’s inception, it has incurred substantial net losses, and JumpTV expects to continue operating at a loss in the near future. If JumpTV is ultimately unable to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable and have sustainable positive cash flows, its investors could lose their investment.
JumpTV may also encounter certain problems or delays in building its business, including those related to:
· regulatory policies and compliance;
· marketing;
· consumer acceptance of Internet based television;
· unsuccessful commercial launches of new programming content;
· costs and expenses that exceed current estimates;
· financing needs; and
· the construction, integration, testing or upgrading of the JumpTV distribution infrastructure and other systems.

Table of Contents
Delays in the timely design, construction, deployment and commercial operation of JumpTV’s business, and consequently the achievement of positive cash flow, could result from a variety of causes, many of which are beyond JumpTV’s control. Substantial delays in any of these matters could delay or prevent JumpTV from achieving profitable operations.
JumpTV may have difficulty and incur substantial costs in scaling and adapting its existing systems architecture to accommodate increased traffic, technology advances or customer requirements.
JumpTV’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to adapt its services to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance and reliability of its services. The IPTV industry and the Internet and the video entertainment industries in general are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. There is no assurance that one or more of the technologies utilized by JumpTV will not become obsolete or that JumpTV’s services will be in demand at the time they are offered. If JumpTV or its suppliers are unable to keep pace with technological and industry changes, JumpTV’s business may be unsuccessful.
In the future, JumpTV may be required to make changes to its systems architecture or move to a completely new architecture. To the extent that demand for JumpTV’s services, content and other media offerings increases, it will need to expand its infrastructure, including the capacity of its hardware servers and the sophistication of its software. If it is required to switch architectures, JumpTV may incur substantial costs and experience delays or interruptions in its service. These delays or interruptions in its service may cause users and customers to become dissatisfied and move to competing providers of IPTV services. An unanticipated loss of traffic, increased costs, inefficiencies or failures to adapt to new technologies or user requirements and the associated adjustments to its systems architecture could harm JumpTV’s operating results and financial condition.
JumpTV depends on third parties to develop technologies used in key elements of IPTV services. More advanced technologies that JumpTV may wish to use may not be available to it on reasonable terms or in a timely manner. Further, JumpTV’s competitors may have access to technologies not available to JumpTV, which may enable its competitors to offer entertainment products of greater interest to consumers or at more competitive costs.
Demand for IPTV may be insufficient for us to achieve and sustain profitability.
IPTV is an emerging service. Potential customers of JumpTV may be slow to adopt, or may refuse to adopt, the Internet as the medium through which they receive television programming. We cannot estimate with any certainty the potential subscriber demand for our service or our ability to satisfy that demand. Among other things, subscriber acceptance of our service will depend upon:
· whether we acquire, market and distribute high-quality programming consistent with subscribers’ tastes;
· the willingness of subscribers to pay pay-per-view or subscription fees to obtain our service;
· the cost and availability of technology, such as computer hardware and high-speed Internet connections, that are required to utilize our service;
· our ability to develop and introduce new services that offer enhanced performance and functionality, in a timely manner, in response to changing market conditions, customer requirements or our competitors’ technological advances;
10
Table of Contents
· the acceptance of our subscriber management systems; and
· the marketing and pricing strategies that we employ relative to those of our competitors.
Our results of operations will depend largely upon our ability to increase our subscriber base while maintaining our preferred pricing structure, managing costs and controlling subscriber churn rates. If demand for our service does not develop as expected, then we may not be able to generate enough revenue to generate positive cash flow or achieve and sustain profitability.
Our objective is to acquire and maintain programming that sustains loyal audiences in or across various demographic groups. The attractiveness of our content offerings and our ability to retain and grow the audiences for our programs will be an important factor in our ability to sell subscriptions and advertising. Our content offerings may not attract or retain the number of subscribers that we anticipate and some content may offend or alienate subscribers that are outside of the target audience for that content. There can be no assurance that our content offerings will enable us to retain our various audiences. If we lose the rights to distribute any specific programming or channels and fail to attract comparable programming with similar audience loyalty, the attractiveness of our service to subscribers or advertisers could decline and our business could be adversely affected.
JumpTV operates in competitive and evolving markets.
JumpTV operates in competitive and evolving markets locally, nationally and globally. These markets are subject to rapid technological change and changes in customer preferences and demand. In seeking market acceptance, JumpTV will encounter competition for both subscribers and advertising revenue from many sources, including other IPTV services, direct broadcast satellite television services and digital and traditional cable systems that carry sports and ethnic television programming. Traditional cable and satellite television already has a well-established and dominant market presence for its services, and Internet portals, video file-sharing service providers and other third-party providers of video content over the Internet may distribute ethnic video content. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than JumpTV. As the IPTV market grows (resulting from higher bandwidths, faster modems and wider programming selections), an increasing number of Internet-based video program offerings will be available to current and potential customers of JumpTV. In addition, JumpTV’s competitors, in both the traditional satellite and cable television broadcasting and IPTV markets, could exclusively contract with sports and ethnic content providers that are not under contract with JumpTV, creating significant competition in both the sports and ethnic programming and IPTV markets. JumpTV’s revenue could be materially adversely affected if it is unable to compete successfully with traditional and other emerging providers of video programming services.
JumpTV relies on its partners for the provision of its content.
JumpTV’s success as a business depends significantly on its relationships with its channel partners. JumpTV enters into channel partner agreements to acquire the Internet distribution rights to sports and ethnic content. JumpTV’s success as a business depends on the cooperation, good faith, programming and overall success of its content partners in providing marketable television programming. Because of JumpTV’s dependency on its content partners, should a content partner’s business suffer as a result of increased competition, increased costs of programming, technological problems, regulatory changes, adverse effects of litigation or other factors, JumpTV’s business may suffer as well.
Furthermore, a failure by a content partner to perform its obligations under its agreement could have detrimental financial consequences for JumpTV’s business. The agreements are for various terms
11
Table of Contents
and have varying provisions regarding renewal or extension. If JumpTV is unable to renew or extend these agreements at the conclusion of their respective terms, JumpTV may not be able to obtain substitute programming, or substitute programming may not be comparable in quality or cost to its existing programming, which could materially adversely affect JumpTV’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
JumpTV does not have exclusive Internet distribution rights to all of its content and the cost of renewing such rights or obtaining such rights for new content may be higher than expected.
Many of JumpTV’s content partner agreements give JumpTV the exclusive Internet distribution rights to the related channels. If these channels are offered elsewhere on the Internet on more attractive terms, JumpTV could lose these subscribers, which would have an adverse effect on its results of operations.
JumpTV must negotiate with potential content partners to acquire the Internet distribution rights for its television programming. In addition, JumpTV will need to renew its agreements with existing content partners. JumpTV anticipates that, as the IPTV market grows, license fees relating to Internet distribution rights for television programming (including sports and ethnic television programming), or for the rights to substitute advertising into the live video streamers of the content, will increase. License fees payable under the content partner agreements may be significantly more costly to renew than anticipated.
In addition, some of the existing content partner agreements that give JumpTV exclusive Internet distribution rights have renewal mechanisms that are tied to JumpTV’s ability to generate specified revenue share amounts or specified subscriber numbers in respect of particular channels. If JumpTV is unable to meet these targets, then JumpTV may have to renegotiate the content partner agreements when they come up for renewal or may lose one or more of its exclusive licenses. Renegotiated license fees may be more expensive than anticipated. JumpTV may be unable to obtain its television programming consistently at a cost that is reasonable or appealing to its customers, which may adversely affect JumpTV’s marketing efforts, reputation, brand and revenue.
There is uncertainty relating to the ability of JumpTV to enforce its rights under the content partner agreements.
Many of the content partner agreements for ethnic programming are with foreign entities and are governed by the laws of foreign jurisdictions. If a content partner breaches a content partner agreement, then JumpTV will incur the additional costs of determining its rights and obligations under the agreement under applicable foreign laws and enforcing the agreement in a foreign jurisdiction. Many of the jurisdictions to which content partner agreements are subject do not have sophisticated and/or impartial legal systems and JumpTV may face practical difficulties in enforcing any of its rights in such jurisdictions. JumpTV may not be able to enforce such rights or may determine that it would be too costly to enforce such rights. In addition, many of the content partner agreements contain arbitration provisions that govern disputes under the agreements and there is uncertainty with respect to the enforceability of such arbitration provisions under the laws of related foreign jurisdictions. If a dispute were to arise under a content partner agreement and the related arbitration provision was not effective, then JumpTV would be exposed to the additional costs of settling the dispute through traditional legal avenues rather than through an arbitration process.

JumpTV’s business may be impaired by third-party intellectual property rights in the programming content of its content partners.
JumpTV relies on its content partners to secure the primary rights to redistribute programming and other content over the Internet. There is no assurance that the content partners have successfully licensed all relevant programming components that are necessary for Internet re-distribution. Other parties may claim certain intellectual property rights in the content that JumpTV licenses from its content partners. For example, content partners may not have sufficient rights in the underlying content to license distribution rights to their content to JumpTV, or a content partner may not identify programming that JumpTV is not permitted to distribute in time for JumpTV to stop distribution of the offending programming. In addition, as the IPTV market grows, advertisers may begin to attempt to enforce intellectual property rights in advertisements included in JumpTV’s content partners’ programming, and JumpTV may inadvertently infringe the intellectual property rights of such advertisers by distributing such advertisements over the Internet or by inserting its own advertising in replacement of such advertisements.
In the event that the content partners are in breach of the distribution rights related to specific programming and other content, JumpTV may be required to cease distributing or marketing the relevant content to prevent any infringement of related rights, and may be subject to claims of damages for infringement of such rights. JumpTV may also be required to claim against the content partners if the distribution rights related to specific programming is breached, and there is no assurance that JumpTV would be successful in any such claim.
JumpTV may be subject to other third-party intellectual property rights claims.
Companies in the Internet, technology and media industries often own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As JumpTV faces increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against it grows. JumpTV’s technologies may not be able to withstand third-party claims or rights against their use. Intellectual property claims, whether having merit or otherwise, could be time consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention. In addition, many of its agreements with network service providers require JumpTV to indemnify them for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase JumpTV’s costs as a result of defending such claims and may require that JumpTV pays the network service providers’ damages if there were an adverse ruling in any such claims.
If litigation is successfully brought by a third party against JumpTV in respect of intellectual property, JumpTV may be required to cease distributing or marketing certain products or services, obtain licenses from the holders of the intellectual property at material cost, redesign affected products in such a way as to avoid infringing intellectual property rights or seek alternative licenses from other third parties which may offer inferior programming, any or all of which could materially adversely affect JumpTV’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If those intellectual property rights are held by a competitor, JumpTV may be unable to obtain the intellectual property at any price, which could also adversely affect JumpTV’s competitive position. An adverse determination could also prevent JumpTV from offering its services and could require that JumpTV procure substitute products or services. Any of these results could harm JumpTV’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

JumpTV relies on its content partners to ensure intellectual property rights compliance globally.
JumpTV is exposed to liability risk in respect of the content that it redistributes over the Internet, relating to both infringement of third-party rights to the content, and infringement of the laws of various jurisdictions governing the type and/or nature of the content. JumpTV relies in large part on the content partners’ obligations under the content partner agreements to advise JumpTV of its content so that JumpTV may take appropriate action if such content is not intellectual property rights compliant or is otherwise obscene, defamatory or indecent. There is a risk that the content partners will not advise JumpTV in time, or at all, in respect of such content, and expose JumpTV to liability for its redistribution of such content over the Internet. Any alleged liability could harm JumpTV’s business by damaging its reputation, requiring JumpTV to incur legal costs in defense of any such claim, exposing JumpTV to significant awards of damages and costs and diverting management’s attention, any of which could have an adverse effect on JumpTV’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
We could suffer failures or damage due to events that are beyond our control, which could adversely affect our brand and operating results.
Our success as a business depends, in part, on our ability to provide consistently high-quality video streams to subscribers via the JumpTV distribution infrastructure and IPTV technology on a consistent basis. Our distribution infrastructure is susceptible to natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss and sabotage, as well as interruptions from technology malfunctions, computer viruses and hacker attacks. Other potential service interruptions may result from unanticipated demands on network infrastructure, increased traffic or problems in customer service. Our ability to control technical and customer service issues is further limited by our dependence on our channel partners for technical integration of the JumpTV distribution infrastructure. Significant disruptions in the JumpTV distribution infrastructure would likely affect the quality and continuity of our service, could harm our goodwill and the JumpTV brand and ultimately could significantly and negatively impact the amount of revenue we may earn from our service. We may not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate for losses that could occur as a result of an interruption in JumpTV’s services.
We depend upon third parties for:
· the provision of programming in connection with our service, including our channel partners and other third-party content providers; and
· the availability and performance of STBs, substantially all of which we purchase from TransVideo.
Any failure by third parties to provide these services could significantly harm our ability to conduct our business. Furthermore, financial difficulties experienced by our third-party providers — such as bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or winding up of daily operations — for any reason whatsoever could also have negative consequences on our business.
JumpTV depends on key personnel and relationships.
JumpTV is dependent on key members of its senior management, including Nancy Li and G. Scott Paterson. JumpTV has not obtained key-man insurance for any member of senior management other than Mr. Paterson. In addition, innovation is important to JumpTV’s success, and JumpTV depends on the continued efforts of its executive officers and key employees, who have specialized technical knowledge regarding the JumpTV distribution infrastructure and information technology systems and
14
Table of Contents
significant business knowledge regarding the IPTV industry and subscription services. The market for the services of qualified personnel is competitive and JumpTV may not be able to attract and retain key employees. If JumpTV loses the services of one or more of its key senior officers or employees, or fails to attract qualified replacement personnel, then JumpTV’s business and future prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Increased subscriber turnover could adversely affect JumpTV’s financial performance.
Customer subscriber churn has a significant financial impact on JumpTV’s results of operations, and JumpTV cannot reliably predict the amount of churn that it will experience over the long term. Given the increasingly competitive nature of the IPTV industry, JumpTV may not be able to reduce churn without significantly increasing its spending on customer retention incentives, which would have a negative effect on its earnings and free cash flow. There can be no assurance that an increase in competition from other IPTV providers, new technology entrants, programming theft and other factors will not contribute to a relatively higher churn than JumpTV has experienced historically. To the extent that JumpTV’s churn is greater than currently anticipated, it may be more costly for the Company to acquire a sufficient customer base to generate revenue.
Current economic conditions have led certain consumers to reduce their spending on non-essential items. A reduction in consumer discretionary spending or an inability to pay for subscribed services could result in a decrease in or loss of subscribers, which would reduce JumpTV’s future revenue and negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increased subscriber acquisition costs could adversely affect JumpTV’s financial performance.
JumpTV anticipates spending substantial funds on advertising and other marketing to attract new subscribers and maintain JumpTV’s subscriber base. JumpTV’s ability to achieve break-even cash flows depends in part on its ability to achieve and maintain lower subscriber acquisition costs over time. JumpTV’s subscriber acquisition costs, both in the aggregate and on a per-new-subscriber basis, may materially increase in the future to the extent that JumpTV introduces new promotions, whether in response to competition or otherwise. Any material increase in subscriber acquisition or retention costs from current levels could have a material adverse effect on JumpTV’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
JumpTV may not be successful in developing a version of its service that will gain widespread adoption by users of alternate devices to access the Internet.
In the coming years, the number of individuals who access the Internet through devices other than a personal computer, such as personal digital assistants, mobile telephones and television set top devices, is expected to increase dramatically. JumpTV’s services are designed for rich, graphical environments such as those available on personal and laptop computers. The lower resolution, functionality and memory associated with alternative devices may make the distribution of content through such devices difficult, and JumpTV may be unsuccessful in its efforts to provide a compelling service for users of alternative devices. If JumpTV is unable to attract and retain a substantial number of alternative device users to its services, it will fail to capture a sufficient share of an increasingly important portion of the market for online media.
In addition, JumpTV intends to introduce new services and/or functionalities to increase its subscriber base and long-term profitability, such as targeted advertising insertion and personal video recording. These services are dependent on successful integration of new technologies into the JumpTV
15
Table of Contents
distribution infrastructure, negotiations with third-party content and network system providers, subscriber acceptance and the maintenance of future technologies to support these services. If JumpTV is unsuccessful in implementing such services, or the economic attractiveness of these services is lower than anticipated, then JumpTV’s business and operating results could be adversely affected.
JumpTV may not realize synergies from the combination of the operations of JumpTV and NeuLion.
On October 20, 2008, JumpTV Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of JumpTV, merged with and into NeuLion, Inc. (“NeuLion”), with NeuLion as the surviving corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 26, 2008, among NeuLion, JumpTV and JumpTV Acquisition Corp. (the “Merger”). As consideration in the Merger, JumpTV issued Shares, without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to the former stockholders of NeuLion, and NeuLion became a wholly-owned subsidiary of JumpTV. JumpTV anticipated realizing certain synergies from the combination of its operations with those of NeuLion. If such synergies are not realized, they could have a material adverse affect on JumpTV’s financial condition, profitability and cash flows.
JumpTV may be unable to manage rapidly expanding operations.
JumpTV is continuing to grow and diversify its business both domestically and internationally. As a result, JumpTV will need to expand and adapt its operational infrastructure. If JumpTV is unable to manage its growth effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on JumpTV’s business, financial condition and results of operations. To manage growth effectively, JumpTV must, among other things, continue to develop its internal and external sales forces, the JumpTV distribution infrastructure capability, its customer service operations and its information systems, maintain its relationships with channel partners, effectively enter new areas of the sports and ethnic television markets, effectively manage the demands of day-to-day operations in new areas while attempting to execute its business strategy and realize the projected growth and revenue targets developed by its management. JumpTV will also need to continue to expand, train and manage its employee base, and JumpTV’s management must assume even greater levels of responsibility. If JumpTV is unable to manage growth effectively, it may experience a decrease in subscriber growth and an increase in subscriber churn, which could have a material adverse effect on JumpTV’s financial condition, profitability and cash flows.
Acquisitions and strategic investments could adversely affect JumpTV’s operations and result in unanticipated liabilities.
JumpTV may in the future acquire or make strategic investments in a number of companies, including through joint ventures. Such transactions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, use of cash resources, incurrence of debt and amortization of expenses related to intangible assets. JumpTV’s acquisitions and strategic investments would be accompanied by a number of risks, including:
· the difficulty of assimilating operations and personnel of acquired companies into JumpTV’s operations;
· the potential disruption of ongoing business and distraction of management;
· additional operating losses and expenses of the businesses acquired or in which JumpTV invests;
· the difficulty of integrating acquired technology and rights into JumpTV’s services and unanticipated expenses related to such integration;
16
Table of Contents
· the potential for patent and trademark infringement claims against the acquired company;
· the impairment of relationships with customers and partners of the companies JumpTV acquired or with JumpTV’s customers and partners as a result of the integration of acquired operations;
· the impairment of relationships with employees of the acquired companies or JumpTV’s employees as a result of integration of new management personnel;
· the difficulty of integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resources and other administrative systems;
· in the case of foreign acquisitions, uncertainty regarding foreign laws and regulations and difficulty integrating operations and systems as a result of cultural, systems and operational differences; and
· the impact of known potential liabilities or unknown liabilities associated with the companies JumpTV acquires or in which it invests.
JumpTV’s failure in addressing such risks in connection with future acquisitions and strategic investments could prevent JumpTV from realizing the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or investments, causing it to incur unanticipated liabilities and harming JumpTV’s business generally.
Internet transmissions may be subject to theft and malicious attacks, which could cause JumpTV to lose subscribers and revenue.
Like all Internet transmissions, JumpTV’s streaming content may be subject to interception and malicious attack. Pirates may be able to obtain or redistribute JumpTV’s programs without paying fees to JumpTV. The JumpTV distribution infrastructure is exposed to spam, viruses, worms, spyware, denial of service or other attacks by hackers and other acts of malice. Theft of JumpTV’s content or attacks on JumpTV’s distribution infrastructure would reduce future potential revenue and increase JumpTV’s net subscriber acquisition costs. In addition, theft of programming from JumpTV’s competitors could increase JumpTV’s own subscriber churn rate.
Compromises of JumpTV’s security technology could also adversely affect its ability to contract for licenses to distribute television programming over the Internet. JumpTV uses security measures intended to make theft of its content more difficult. However, if JumpTV is required to upgrade or replace existing security technology, the cost of such security upgrades or replacements could have a material adverse effect on JumpTV’s financial condition, profitability and cash flows. In addition, other illegal methods that compromise Internet transmissions may be developed in the future. If JumpTV cannot control compromises of its channels, then its revenue, net subscriber acquisition costs, churn and ability to contract for licenses to distribute television programming over the Internet could be materially adversely affected.
There is no assurance that the current costs of Internet connections and network access will not rise with increasing popularity of IPTV services, which would adversely affect JumpTV’s business.
JumpTV relies on Internet service providers for its principal connections and network access and to stream audio and video content to subscribers. As demand for IPTV services increases, there can be no assurance that Internet service providers will continue to price their network access services on reasonable terms. The distribution of streaming media requires distribution of large content files and providers of network access may change their business model and increase their prices significantly, which could slow the widespread acceptance of such services. In order for JumpTV’s media content services to be
17
Table of Contents
successful, there must be a reasonable price model in place to allow for the continuous distribution of large streaming media files. JumpTV has limited or no control over the extent to which any of these circumstances may occur, and if network access prices rise significantly, then JumpTV’s business and operating results would likely be adversely affected.
JumpTV’s business depends on the continued growth and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure.
The success and the availability of Internet-based products and services depends in part upon the continued growth and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure itself, including its protocols, architecture, network backbone, data capacity and security. Spam, viruses, worms, spyware, denial of service or other attacks by hackers and other acts of malice may affect not only the Internet’s speed, reliability and availability but also its continued desirability as a vehicle for commerce, information and user engagement. If the Internet proves unable to meet the new threats and increased demands placed upon it, JumpTV’s business plans, user and advertiser relationships, site traffic and revenues could be adversely affected.
Privacy concerns relating to elements of JumpTV’s service could damage its reputation and deter current and potential users from using its products and services.
From time to time, concerns may be expressed about whether JumpTV’s products and services compromise the privacy of users and others. Concerns about JumpTV’s collection, use or sharing of personal information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could damage JumpTV’s reputation and result in a loss of user confidence and ultimately in a loss of users, partners or advertisers, which could adversely affect JumpTV’s business and operating results.
JumpTV may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities.
JumpTV is subject to income taxes and non-income taxes in a variety of jurisdictions and its tax structure is subject to review by both domestic and foreign taxation authorities. The determination of its world-wide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment and, in the ordinary course of its business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although JumpTV believes that its estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded on JumpTV’s consolidated financial statements and may materially affect JumpTV’s financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made.
JumpTV relies on insurance to mitigate certain risks and to the extent the cost of insurance increases or JumpTV is unable or chooses not to maintain sufficient insurance, its operating results may be adversely affected.
JumpTV contracts for insurance to cover certain potential risks and liabilities. In the current economic environment, insurance companies are increasingly specific about what they will and will not insure. It is possible that JumpTV may not be able to get enough insurance to meet its needs, may have to pay very high prices for the coverage or may not be able to acquire any insurance for certain types of business risk. In addition, JumpTV has in the past and may in the future choose not to obtain insurance for certain risks facing its business. This could leave JumpTV exposed to potential claims. If JumpTV was found liable for a significant claim in the future, its operating results could be negatively impacted. Also, to the extent the cost of maintaining insurance increases, its operating results will be negatively affected.
18
Table of Contents
JumpTV has operated during periods in which it was not covered by adequate insurance. JumpTV is therefore exposed to the risk of having to finance any potential claims against JumpTV relating to the periods in which it was not covered.
JumpTV is subject to foreign business, political and economic disruption risks.
JumpTV contracts with various entities from around the world, including in respect of the acquisition of the Internet distribution rights to the content. As a result, JumpTV is exposed to foreign business, political and economic risks, which could adversely affect JumpTV’s financial position and results of operations, including:
· difficulties in managing content partner relationships from outside of a content partner’s jurisdiction;
· political and economic instability;
· less developed infrastructures in newly industrializing countries;
· susceptibility to interruption of channel feeds in foreign areas due to war, terrorist attacks, medical epidemics, changes in political regimes and general interest rate and currency instability;
· exposure to possible litigation or claims in foreign jurisdictions; and
· competition from foreign-based IPTV providers and the existence of protectionist laws and business practices that favor such providers.

Merger and Reverse Take-Over
On October 20, 2008, the Company completed the Merger with NeuLion, an end-to-end IPTV service provider of live and on-demand sports, international and religious programming over the Internet to computers and/or through STBs to televisions. Under the terms of the Merger, JumpTV issued 49,577,427 Shares directly, as well as 1,840,097 Shares subject to a performance escrow relating to a prior acquisition, which represented approximately the entire issued and outstanding Shares of JumpTV prior to closing, to the securityholders of NeuLion in exchange for their NeuLion securities. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company also issued 5,000,000 warrants, fully vested and exercisable for two years at $0.63, and 2,700,000 employee stock options, vesting in equal monthly amounts over 48 months and exercisable for five years at $0.60, to employees of NeuLion who became employees of the Company.
On October 20, 2008, AvantaLion LLC (“AvantaLion”), an entity controlled by Mr. Wang, our Chairman and the spouse of Ms. Li, our CEO and the founder and CEO of NeuLion, purchased 10,000,000 units from JumpTV’s treasury at a price of CAD$1.00 per unit. Each unit (a “Unit”) consists
20
Table of Contents
of one Share, one-half of one Share purchase warrant exercisable at CAD$1.25 and one-half of one Share purchase warrant exercisable at CAD$1.50. The warrants partially comprising the Units are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. Mr. Paterson, our Vice Chairman, also purchased 1,000,000 Units on the same terms. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Units (the “Private Placement”) were CAD$11.0 million or US$9.2 million
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”), the Company has determined that NeuLion was the accounting acquirer and accordingly has accounted for the Merger as a reverse takeover. Therefore, the financial statements and this MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion, the accounting acquirer, and only include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Acquired Business subsequent to the reverse takeover on October 20, 2008. This MD&A is issued under the name of the legal acquirer (JumpTV), but is deemed to be a continuation of the accounting acquirer (NeuLion).
Overview
JumpTV is an IPTV service and technology provider that builds and manages private networks for companies interested in reaching specific target audiences. JumpTV provides an end-to-end IPTV service of live and on-demand sports, international television content and family programming.
This end-to-end enterprise technology solution enables the distribution of IPTV content to subscribers and pay-per-view customers for viewing on multiple platforms, including Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices and standard television sets through Internet-connected STBs.
JumpTV’s business model has evolved from its inception as a professional services provider to, in fiscal 2006, an end-to-end provider of the following IPTV services:
· content management — encoding of various digital and analog TV and video formats
· subscriber management — managing subscriber access and control of subscriber accounts
· digital rights management — preserving the integrity of the content and protecting it from unauthorized access
· billing services — enabling customers to view subscription accounts, providing pay-per-view transactional billing, payment processing and advertising insertion
· delivery — delivering streamed audio, video and other multimedia content anywhere, anytime through JumpTV’s IPTV service and infrastructure
This evolution commenced in 2006 and is the one of the reasons for the increase in revenue, cost of sales and expenses over the years.
Through the acquisition of the Acquired Business on October 20, 2008, JumpTV has expanded its portfolio of content from professional sports (the NHL and the NFL), international content (Chinese programming through KyLinTV, Inc. (“KyLinTV”)) and faith-based programming (Sky Angel) to include college sports, cycling events, soccer events and additional international channels.

Table of Contents
JumpTV’s success is dependent upon several factors, including securing contractual relationships, maintaining technological advantage in a rapidly changing industry and efficiently operating the distribution network.
Fiscal 2008
On October 20, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the Acquired Business described above. The acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse take over using the purchase method, with the results of the Acquired Business included in the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition.
The net assets acquired (in millions) are as follows:
Cash | | $ | 22.9 | |
Current assets | | 5.0 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | 5.1 | |
Long-term assets | | 1.0 | |
Intangible assets | | 6.0 | |
Goodwill | | 6.8 | |
Total assets | | $ | 46.8 | |
| | | |
Current Liabilities | | $ | 12.4 | |
Long term liabilities | | 0.8 | |
Total liabilities | | $ | 13.2 | |
| | | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 33.6 | |
The intangible assets included in the table above consist of customer relationships of $5.9 million which are being amortized over a five-year period and trademarks of $0.1 million which are being amortized over a one-year period. The software fixed asset of $2.0 million included in the Acquired Business is being amortized over a three-year period.
Operating Performance
The Company uses the term “organic” to refer to period-over-period changes in its revenues and expenses, excluding the revenues and expenses of the Acquired Business. This permits readers to better compare current year and prior year revenues and expenses, and to understand changes that have occurred, without regard to the effect of the Merger.
Fiscal 2008
Revenue for fiscal 2008 was $13.4 million, up 72% from $7.8 million in fiscal 2007. The revenue growth of $5.6 million was due to an increase in services revenue of $8.2 million and was offset by a decrease in our equipment revenue of $2.6 million. In part, the revenue growth is due to the acquisition of the Acquired Business, which contributed $3.3 million of the growth. The organic increase in services revenue is consistent with the increasing scope of operations. As the number of subscribers increases, there is a cumulative effect of increasing subscriber revenue on a month over month basis. The decrease in equipment revenue is a result of the uneven nature of this revenue stream — customers often place large single orders made to meet minimum order requirements, to manage the lead time between ordering and shipping and to minimize the related shipping costs. The lead time on new orders is approximately 12 weeks from order to receipt. The purchase by customers of STBs is a leading indicator of future subscriptions.
Our net loss for 2008 was $11.6 million, or a loss of $0.21 per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $4.5 million, or a loss of $0.11 per fully diluted share, in 2007. The increase in net loss of $7.1 million is due to increased organic expenses of $4.8 million, which includes $2.8 million related to increased wages and benefits and $1.0 million related to professional fees (please see page 28 for additional details), impairment of long-lived assets of $1.0 million, losses incurred in the Acquired Business of $2.2 million subsequent to October 20, 2008, stock-based compensation incurred upon closing the Merger of $1.8 million, and increased depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million, which was offset by increased organic revenues of $2.3 million, increased investment income and

foreign exchange of $0.4 million, a reduction in the equity losses of affiliate of $1.1 million and other miscellaneous items.
Our Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $6.6 million compared with a Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.9 million in 2007. The increase is Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is due to the cash impact of the items noted above. The reconciliation from net loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss is as follows:
| | Year ended December 31, | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
| | $ | | $ | |
| | | | | |
Net loss for the year | | (11,637,260 | ) | (4,515,759 | ) |
| | | | | |
Add back: | | | | | |
Depreciation and amortization | | 1,572,492 | | 561,077 | |
Stock-based compensation | | 1,848,906 | | — | |
Impairment of long-lived assets | | 1,036,993 | | — | |
Equity in loss of affiliate | | 1,006,386 | | 2,083,943 | |
Investment income and foreign exchange gain | | (395,768 | ) | (33,161 | ) |
| | | | | |
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss | | (6,568,251 | ) | (1,903,900 | ) |
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and, as presented above, represents our company’s net earnings or loss adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expenses, net investment income and foreign exchange, equity losses in affiliate, non-cash impairment charges and non-cash stock compensation expense. We present Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to enhance understanding of our operating performance. We use Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as one criterion for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe that Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is an operating performance measure, and not a liquidity measure, that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. However, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under financial performance under GAAP, and our Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including the difficulty associated with comparing companies that use similar performance measures whose calculations may differ from ours.
Three months ended March 31, 2009
Revenue for three months ended March 31, 2009 was $6.6 million, up 247% from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The revenue growth of $4.7 million was due to an increase in services revenue of $5.2 million and was offset by a decrease in our equipment revenue of $0.5 million. In part, the revenue growth is due to the acquisition of the Acquired Business, which contributed $3.6 million of the growth. The organic increase (excluding the results of the Acquired Business) in services revenue is consistent with the increasing scope of operations. As the number of subscribers increases, there is a cumulative effect of increasing subscriber revenue on a month over month basis. The decrease in equipment revenue is a result of the uneven nature of this revenue stream – customers often place large single orders made to meet minimum order requirements, to manage the lead time between ordering and shipping and to minimize the related shipping costs. The lead time on new orders is approximately 12 weeks from order to receipt. The purchase by customers of STBs is a leading indicator of future subscriptions. On a pro forma basis, as described in Note 3 of the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, revenue increased from $5.6 million to $6.6 million due to organic growth.
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $5.8 million, or a loss of $0.05 per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.5 million or a loss of $0.03 per basic and fully diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in net loss of $4.3 million was due to the following:
· Increase in organic loss of $1.3 million
· Net loss in the Acquired Business of $2.0 million
· Increased non-cash expenses of $1.0 million (detailed below in the Net Loss to EBITDA reconciliation)
On a pro forma basis (as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2008), our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $59.6 million or a loss of $1.40 per fully diluted share. The decrease in net loss of $53.8 million was due to the following:
· Increase in organic loss of $1.3 million
· Reduction/elimination of impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets of $48.1 million
· Reduction in net loss in the Acquired Business of $6.8 million
· Reduction in non-cash expenses of $0.2 million
The Company reports Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss because it is a key measure used by management to evaluate the results of the Company and make strategic decisions about the Company. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss represents net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, unrealized loss on derivatives, equity in loss of affiliate, investment income and foreign exchange gain. This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with a non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is due to the cash impact of the items noted above. On a pro forma basis, our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA decreased from a loss of $9.8 million to a loss of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease is due to cost reductions in most areas of the Acquired Business offset by the increased organic costs. The reconciliation from net loss to non-GAAP Adjusted

Operations
The Company uses the term “organic” to refer to period-over-period changes in its revenues and expenses, excluding the revenues and expenses of the Acquired Business. This permits readers to better compare current year and prior year revenues and expenses, and to understand changes that have occurred, without regard to the effect of the Merger.
Revenue
As discussed in Item 1 of the Registration Statement, JumpTV earns revenue in four broad categories:
· Subscriber revenue, which is recognized over the period of service or usage.
· eCommerce revenue, which is recognized as the service is performed.
23
Table of Contents
· Technology services revenue, which consists of set up and transcoder revenue and is recognized over the life of the contract.
· Equipment revenue, which is recognized when title of the STB passes to the customer.
Service revenue includes subscriber revenue, eCommerce revenue and technology services revenue. While our revenues have been growing due to the organic growth in our existing business and the Merger, we are uncertain as to how our revenues will be impacted by the current downturn in the global economy.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of services revenue primarily consists of:
· Cost of Subscriber revenue consists of three primary components:
· Royalty payments
· Network operating costs
· Bandwidth usage fees
· Cost of eCommerce revenue consists of:
· Merchandising, donor and ticket sales, which has no associated cost — revenue is booked on a net basis
· Cost of Advertising revenue is subject to revenue shares with the content provider
· Cost of Technology services revenue consists of:
· Third-party transcoder software purchased
· Maintenance costs for transcoders
Cost of Equipment revenue consists of the sale of STBs to content partners and/or end users to enable the end user to receive the content over the Internet and display the signal on a television. Cost of equipment revenues primarily consists of purchases from TransVideo of the products and parts for resale to customers. Shipping revenue and costs are included in equipment revenue and cost of equipment revenue, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs include:
· Wages and benefits — represents compensation for the Company’s full-time and part-time employees as well as fees for consultants who are used by the Company from time to time;
· Marketing — represents expenses for both global and local marketing programs that focus on various target sports properties and ethnic communities. These initiatives include both on-line and off-line marketing expenditures. These expenditures also include search engine marketing and search engine optimization;
· Professional fees — represents legal, recruiting and accounting fees; and
· Other SG&A expenses — represents expenses for travel expenses, rent, office supplies, corporate IT services, credit card processing fees and other general operating expenses.

Stock-based compensation
We estimate the fair value of our options, warrants, retention warrants (“Retention Warrants”), awards under the restricted share plan (the “Restricted Share Plan”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) (collectively, “Convertible Securities”) for financial accounting purposes using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, which requires a number of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the Convertible Securities, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate, forfeiture rate, future volatility of the price of our Shares and vesting period. Based on the estimated fair value of the Convertible Securities, we expense the estimated fair value over the vesting period of the Convertible Securities. The vesting period is normally over a four year period, vesting in an equal amount each month; however, the Board of Directors has the discretion to grant options with different vesting periods.
Equity Losses of Affiliate
On July 1, 2006, the Company acquired a 20.2% equity interest in KyLinTV through the conversion of $4,100,000 that was due from KyLinTV. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method, with the net results of KyLinTV included in the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition. The Company is accounting for its pro-rata share of the results of operations based on its equity interest in KyLinTV, 20.2% from July 1, 2006 to September 31, 2007 and 17.1% from October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008. From January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009, the Company’s equity interest in KyLinTV was 17.1%.
The Company provides KyLinTV with administrative and general corporate support. Management has determined that as a result of the 17.1% equity interest combined with the services that JumpTV provides KyLinTV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV; therefore, the Company continues to account for KyLinTV using the equity method of accounting for its investment.
The Company’s proportionate share of the applicable equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In 2008 the cumulative losses were equal to the total value of the equity interest and no further losses have been recorded. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV. The Company retains its 17.1% interest in KyLinTV.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
As at December 31, 2008, management determined that the recoverable value of certain long-lived assets did not support the carrying amount of the assets, accordingly the Company recorded a non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge of $1.0 million during the year. There were no such comparable amounts for the prior year.

Revenue
The Company uses the term “organic” to refer to period-over-period changes in its revenues and expenses, excluding the revenues and expenses of the Acquired Business. This permits readers to better compare current year and prior year revenues and expenses, and to understand changes that have occurred, without regard to the effect of the Merger.
Services Revenue
Services revenue includes revenue from subscribers, eCommerce and technology services. Services revenue increased from $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase is a combination of the organic growth in services

Table of Contents
revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our services revenue of $4.9 million is detailed below. The Acquired Business comprised $3.3 million of total services revenue for the year.
Subscriber revenue increased from $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase is a combination of the growth in subscribers and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our subscriber revenue was $4.4 million. The organic increase was a result of $1.4 million in revenue generated from 13 new customers and $3.0 million in revenue generated from 10 existing customers. The increase in revenue is due to the recurring revenue effect of adding new users, while still retaining existing users. This recurring revenue effect provides for increasing subscriber revenues as our customers expand their subscriber base. The Acquired Business comprised $2.0 million of total subscriber revenue for the year.
eCommerce revenue increased from zero for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Acquired Business comprised all of eCommerce revenue for the year.
Technology services revenue increased from $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase is a combination of the growth in technology services revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our technology services revenue was $0.5 million. As new customers begin streaming video or develop their user interface, we earn technology services revenue. The organic increase was a result of $0.1 million in revenue generated from 13 new customers and $0.4 million in revenue generated from 16 existing customers. This revenue is recognized over the life of the contractual relationship. The Acquired Business comprised $0.4 million of total technology services revenue for the year.
Equipment revenue
Equipment revenue decreased from $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. In 2007, two customers purchased significant quantities of STBs ($6.4 million) as they began operations in anticipation of initial demand in their customer base. While both of these customers continued to purchase STBs in 2008, one of the customers reduced its purchases as it consumed its inventory. The decrease in equipment revenue is a result of the uneven nature of this revenue stream; customers often place large single orders to meet minimum order requirements to manage the lead time between ordering and shipping and to minimize the related shipping costs. The lead time on new orders is approximately 12 weeks from order to receipt. The timing of specific orders is not consistent period over period. We sell our STBs to customers, who in turn sell or give them to new users, and also sell directly to users. The demand for STBs is driven by new subscribers and the level of inventory carried by our customers. Our customers do not have the right of return on purchased STBs. Initial orders by new customers and new users will impact the trend of STB revenues. The Company expects STB revenue to have a much slower growth rate than services revenue. Services revenue is recurring (monthly) revenue whereas STB revenue is only on new customers and/or subscribers.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Services Revenue
Cost of services revenue increased from $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was a combination of the costs associated with increased revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. As a result of the Merger, the Acquired Business comprised $2.0 million of total costs of services revenue for the year.
Organic cost of services revenue increased from $0.3 million, or 32%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.2 million, or 51%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was a result of increased revenue and higher costs for bandwidth due to higher usage by existing subscribers and the costs associated with new customers. Subscriber revenue, a component of services revenue, increased as a percentage of total services revenue and has higher costs associated with it than other types of services revenue. Management expects to maintain cost of services revenue at between 50% and 60% of services revenue, excluding the Acquired Business, based on the mix of service revenue and as economies of scale are realized.
Cost of Equipment Revenue
Cost of equipment revenue decreased from $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 on lower revenue. Cost of equipment revenue is directly variable with changes in revenue. Cost of equipment increased from 79% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 80% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cost of equipment revenue as a percentage of equipment revenue is expected to be consistent at approximately 80% for the next year.

Selling, General and Administrative Costs
Selling, general and administrative costs increased from $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result of the Merger on October 20, 2008, the Acquired Business increased by $3.4 million the total selling, general and administrative costs for the year. The individual variances are due to the following:
· Wages and benefits increased from $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result of the Merger on October 20, 2008, the Acquired Business increased by $2.1 million the total wages and benefits for the year. The organic increase of $2.8 million was primarily related to the increase in employees to support the increased revenue and the Merger with the Acquired Business. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company added senior management and provided market level compensation for the CEO in the fourth quarter of 2008.
· Stock-based compensation expense increased from zero for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was due to the Company granting, under the terms of the agreement relating to the Merger, 5,000,000 incentive warrants that vested immediately to employees of NeuLion who became employees of JumpTV in the Merger. There was no granting of Convertible Securities in the corresponding prior year. As a result of the immediate vesting the full value of the warrants is recorded as an expense. The fair value of these warrants was $1.7 million.
As a result of the Merger on October 20, 2008, all previously issued Convertible Securities of the Acquired Business were fair valued. The fair value of all Convertible Instruments which had vested was included in the purchase price allocation and the fair value of any Convertible Securities with future vesting will be expensed over the remaining vesting period.
Finally, there were additional Convertible Securities issued following the acquisition which are being expensed over the vesting period of the Convertible Securities.
· Marketing increased from $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result of the Merger on October 20, 2008, the Acquired Business increased by $0.2 million the marketing expenses for the year. The Acquired Business is more of a business-to-consumer focused business and incurs higher marketing expenses in search engine marketing and search engine optimization on the Internet.
· Professional fees increased from a nominal amount for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result of the Merger on October 20, 2008, the Acquired Business increased by $0.2 million the professional fees for the year. The organic increase of $1.0 million was primarily related to the audit fees for the fiscal years 2005 to 2007, which was a condition of the Merger on October 20, 2008, and the audit fees for the current year. Professional fees related to the Merger have been included in the acquisition costs and accounted for in the purchase price accounting.
· Other SG&A expenses increased from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result of the Merger on October 20, 2008, the Acquired Business increased by $0.9 million the other SG&A expenses for the year. The organic increase of $0.9 million was primarily related to increased travel incurred during the Merger due diligence and general office expenses.

Table of Contents
Equity Losses of Affiliate
Equity losses of affiliate decreased from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is as a result of the cumulative losses exceeding the full value of the Company’s investment. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment has been reduced to zero. The Company still owns its equity position in the affiliate, however the Company is not required to fund any additional losses, and as such no further charges will be incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased from $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was due to amortization on assets acquired on the Merger with the Acquired Business ($0.6 million) and the increased capital assets required to support the increased revenue.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets must be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. For JumpTV, long-lived assets include intangible and capital assets. As at December 31, 2008, the Company’s market capitalization decreased below the carrying value of the Company. As well, ongoing negative developments in the general economic climate would be considered an event that would be a possible indicator of impairment. Management considered these events to be an indicator of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized as the difference between fair value and carrying amount when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The fair value of the intangible assets acquired in the Merger was determined on October 20, 2008; therefore, management believes the fair value of the assets acquired in the Merger is consistent with the carrying amount at December 31, 2008. The Company therefore tested the fair value of the non-Merger long-lived assets. The Company has determined that the carrying value of capital assets exceed their fair value by $1.0 million. Accordingly the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.0 million during the year.

Revenue
Services Revenue
Services revenue includes revenue from subscribers, eCommerce and technology services. Services revenue increased from $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is a combination of the organic growth in services revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our services revenue was $1.5 million. The Acquired Business comprised $3.6 million of total services revenue for the quarter.
Subscriber revenue increased from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is a combination of the growth in subscribers and the

Table of Contents
effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our subscriber revenue was $1.1 million. The organic increase was a result of $0.6 million in revenue generated from 19 new customers and $0.5 million in revenue generated from 7 existing customers. The increase in revenue is due to the recurring revenue effect of adding new users, while still retaining existing users. The Acquired Business comprised $2.4 million of total subscriber revenue for the period.
eCommerce revenue increased from zero for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Acquired Business comprised all of eCommerce revenue for the period.
Technology services revenue increased from $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is a combination of the growth in technology services revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our technology services revenue was $0.3 million. As new customers begin streaming video or develop their user interface, we earn technology services revenue. This revenue is recognized over the life of the contractual relationship. The Acquired Business comprised $0.4 million of total technology services revenue for the period.
Equipment Revenue
Equipment revenue decreased from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily related to the decrease in STBs purchased by one customer.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Services Revenue
Cost of services revenue increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was a combination of the costs associated with increased revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The Acquired Business comprised $2.1 million of total costs of services revenue for the period.
Organic cost of services revenue increased from $0.3 million, or 32%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.2 million, or 51%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was a result of increased revenue and higher costs for bandwidth due to higher usage by existing subscribers and the costs associated with new customers. Subscriber revenue, a component of services revenue, increased as a percentage of total services revenue and has higher costs associated with it than other types of services revenue. Management expects to maintain cost of services revenue at between 50% and 60% of services revenue, excluding the Acquired Business, based on the mix of service revenue and as economies of scale are realized.
Cost of Equipment Revenue
Cost of equipment revenue decreased from $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 on lower revenue. Cost of equipment revenue is directly variable with changes in revenue.
Cost of equipment revenue as a percentage of equipment revenue increased from 80% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 85% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to an increase in the proportion of revenue which was sold on a cost recovery basis (shipping and replacement parts).
Selling, General and Administrative Costs
Selling, general and administrative costs increased from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Acquired Business increased by $3.8 million the total selling, general and administrative costs for the period. The individual variances are due to the following:
· Wages and benefits increased from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Acquired Business increased by $2.4 million the total wages and benefits for the period. The organic increase of $1.4 million was primarily related to the increase in employees to support the increased revenue and the Merger with the Acquired Business. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company added senior management and provided market level compensation for the CEO.

· Stock-based compensation expense increased from zero for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was due to the assumption of convertible instruments in conjunction with the Merger and the Company granting convertible instruments to employees subsequent to the Merger.
· Marketing increased from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Acquired Business increased by $0.1 million the marketing expenses for the period. The Acquired Business is more of a business-to-consumer focused business and incurs higher marketing expenses including search engine marketing and search engine optimization on the Internet.
· Professional fees increased from a nominal amount for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily related to fees incurred in connection with public company reporting compliance.
· Other SG&A expenses increased from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was related to increased expenses in all categories associated with increased operations to support the increase in revenue.
Equity Losses of Affiliate
Equity losses of KyLinTV decreased from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease is as a result of the cumulative losses exceeding the full value of the Company’s investment in 2008. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment has been reduced to zero. The Company still owns its equity position in the affiliate, however the Company is not required to fund any additional losses, and as such no further charges will be incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was due to amortization on assets acquired in the Merger ($0.6 million) and the increased capital assets required to support the increased revenue.
Unrealized Loss on Derivative
Unrealized loss on derivative increased from zero for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was due to the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”, effective January 1, 2009, which required the Company to fair value all convertible instruments denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. On January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of Warrants denominated in Canadian dollars of $2.5 million was reallocated from additional paid in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $0.6 million with an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit of $1.9 million. The difference between the fair value at March 31, 2009 of $1.1 million and January 1, 2009 of $0.6 million resulted in an unrealized loss on derivative of $0.5 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Fiscal 2008
As of December 31, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents of $27.3 million and trade accounts receivable of $2.4 million. We do not have a line of credit facility.
At December 31, 2008, approximately 72% of our cash and cash equivalents are held in money market funds and another 15% of our cash and cash equivalents are held in bank accounts with two of the top five Canadian commercial banks. The Company believes these financial institutions to be secure in the current global economy. We believe that we will be able to access the remaining balance of bank deposits outside of Canada as these deposits are with large reputable banks. We have and will continue to make a series of short-term investments in term deposits and commercial paper. Our investment policy is to invest in low risk short-term investments which are highly graded commercial paper and term deposits. We have not had a history of any defaults on this commercial paper, nor do we expect any in the future given the grade and short term to maturity of these investments. All commercial paper on hand at December 31, 2008 have been repaid, and subsequently reinvested.

Table of Contents
In fiscal 2008, the Company generated an increase in cash of $26.7 million. The primary changes in cash were from the following items: $22.9 million in cash was acquired through the Merger; $9.2 million was raised through the Private Placement described above; and $2.6 million was received from a capital contribution by the founder and CEO prior to the Merger. The Company used $5.6 million to fund operations and working capital, $2.0 million in transaction and share issue costs and $1.5 million to purchase fixed assets. These changes, plus other miscellaneous items, increased our cash and cash equivalents to $27.3 million at December 31, 2008.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
As of March 31, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents of $21.6 million and trade accounts receivable of $1.9 million. We do not have a credit facility.
At March 31, 2009, approximately 77% of our cash and cash equivalents are held in money market funds and another 18% of our cash and cash equivalents are held in bank accounts with two of the top five Canadian commercial banks. The Company believes these financial institutions to be secure in the current global economy. We believe that we will be able to access the remaining balance of bank deposits outside of Canada as these deposits are with large reputable banks. We have and will continue to make a series of short-term investments in term deposits and commercial paper. Our investment policy is to invest in low risk short-term investments which are highly graded commercial paper and term deposits. We have not had a history of any defaults on this commercial paper, nor do we expect any in the future given the grade and short term to maturity of these investments. All commercial paper on hand at March 31, 2009 have been repaid, and subsequently reinvested.
During 2009, based on our current business plan, internal forecasts and considering the risks that are present in the current global economy, we believe that cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company is still in the early stage of business. From JumpTV’s inception it has incurred substantial net losses. The Company continues to review its operating structure to reduce costs. Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in or incorporated by reference into Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s cash position decreased by $5.7 million. The Company used $4.2 million to fund operations, $1.1 million in working capital changes and $0.4 million to purchase fixed assets.
Working Capital Requirements
Fiscal 2008
The net working capital at December 31, 2008 was $18.1 million, an increase of $17.9 million from the December 31, 2007 net working capital of $0.2 million. The increased working capital is primarily due to the Merger, which contributed $15.5 million.
Current assets at December 31, 2008 were $33.3 million, an increase of $29.6 million from the December 31, 2007 balance of $3.7 million. The change is due to an increase in our cash and cash equivalents of $26.7 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and deposits of $1.3 million and an increase in our taxes receivable of $1.0 million. The increase in our cash position was attributable to the Merger. The increase in the prepaid expenses and deposits and taxes receivable is due to the Merger.
Current liabilities at December 31, 2008 were $15.2 million, an increase of $11.8 million from the December 31, 2007 balance of $3.4 million. The increase primarily resulted from the increase in accounts payable of $4.4 million, an increase in accrued liabilities of $6.8 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $2.6 million, offset by a decrease in due to related parties of $2.0 million. The increases in the accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue were balances acquired on October 20, 2008 as a result of the Merger of $4.6 million, $5.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The additional $1.6 million of accrued liabilities were primarily due to increased payables related to expenses of the Merger. The reduction in the amounts due to related parties was caused by payments to bring these balances to a current position.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
The net working capital at March 31, 2009 was $12.0 million, a decrease of $6.1 million from the December 31, 2008 net working capital of $18.1 million. The decreased working capital is primarily due to funding operations and the fair value of the derivative liability on March 31, 2009.
Current assets at March 31, 2009 were $27.1 million, a decrease of $6.2 million from the December 31, 2008 balance of $33.3 million. The change is primarily due to a decrease in our cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and deposits of $0.5 million.
Current liabilities at March 31, 2009 were $15.1 million, a decrease of $0.1 million from the December 31, 2008 balance of $15.2 million.
Cash Flows
JumpTV’s business is still in the early stages, with only a few years of operating history. As at December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of $27.3 million, and as at March 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of $21.6 million. From JumpTV’s inception, it has incurred net losses and has an accumulated deficit of $30.0 million; management expects these losses to continue in the short term. JumpTV will require expenditures of significant funds for marketing, building its subscriber management systems, programming and website development, maintaining adequate video streaming and database software, pursuing and maintaining channel distribution agreements with its channel partners, fees relating to acquiring and maintaining Internet streaming rights to its content and the construction and maintenance of the JumpTV delivery infrastructure and office facilities. There is no guarantee that JumpTV will ultimately be able to generate sufficient revenue or reduce its costs in the anticipated time frame to become profitable and have sustainable cash flows.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $0.4 million. These funds were used to purchase fixed assets.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This primarily reflects net proceeds received from the Private Placement in the amount of $9.3 million and, prior to the Merger, capital contributions of $2.6 million by the CEO and founder of NeuLion to the Company. Cash provided by financing activities was zero for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
In the near future, JumpTV expects that it will continue to use its cash resources to fund working capital requirements. The Company believes existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to satisfy normal working capital needs and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. However, the Company may sell additional equity securities to further enhance its liquidity position, and the sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to its shareholders.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2008 or as of March 31, 2009.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, taxes receivable, deposits, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related parties, and deferred revenue.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount for which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short maturity term of these financial instruments.
Risks associated with financial instruments
[i] Currency risk
The Company’s activities that result in exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates consist of its customer billings being in U.S. dollars and the majority of expenses being paid in foreign currencies. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its currency risk.
34
Table of Contents
[ii] Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its invested cash and cash equivalents and its short-term investments. The interest rates on these instruments are based on the bank’s prime rate and therefore are subject to change with the market. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its interest rate risk.
[iii] Credit Risk
The Company sells its services to a variety of customers under various payment terms and therefore is exposed to credit risk. The Company has adopted policies and procedures designed to limit this risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable. The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s primary source of revenues to date being the sale of STBs, for which 50% of monies are received in advance of shipment.

The Company is accounting for its pro-rata share of the above based on its equity interest in KyLinTV, which was 20.2% from July 1, 2006 to September 31, 2007 and 17.1% from October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008. On January 1, 2008, the Company’s equity interest in KyLinTV was 17.1%. As previously discussed, the Company also provides KyLinTV with administrative and general corporate support. Management has determined that as a result of the 17.1% equity interest combined with the services that JumpTV provides KyLinTV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV; therefore the Company continues to account for KyLinTV using the equity method of accounting for investment.
The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment has been reduced to zero. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund these losses.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States consistently applied throughout all periods. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventory allowances, bad debts, long-lived assets, goodwill, income taxes, contingencies and litigation, the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions and the assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock options and warrants. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Business Combinations
We account for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with FAS 141. We allocate the purchase price to tangible assets, intangible assets, and liabilities based on fair values, with the excess of purchase price being allocated to goodwill.
In 2008, our acquisition of the Acquired Business resulted in the allocation of a portion of the purchase price to goodwill and acquired intangible assets. In order to determine the fair value of these intangible assets, we make estimates and judgments based on assumptions about the future income producing capabilities of these assets and related future expected cash flows. We also make estimates about the useful life of those acquired intangible assets. Should different conditions prevail, we could record write-downs of intangible assets or changes in the estimate of useful life of those intangible assets, which would result in changes to amortization expense.
Acquired definite lived intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value based on the present value of the estimated net future income-producing capabilities of the assets acquired. A significant change to the initial value assigned to the definite lived intangible assets could result if different assumptions are used in determining the present value of the estimated net future income producing capabilities of the asset. Acquired definite lived intangible assets are amortized over the future income producing period, which we consider to be the useful life, on a straight-line basis, which are amortized over the pattern in which we expect to generate economic benefits from the asset.
For business combinations made subsequent to or on January 1, 2009, we will follow the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”).
Goodwill
In accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests or on a more frequent basis if events or conditions indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the beginning of the fourth
37
Table of Contents
quarter of each fiscal year. We also test for impairment more frequently if indicators of impairment are noted. JumpTV as a whole is considered one reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of reporting unit based on estimated cash flows, market capitalization and other factors. If we determine that our carrying value exceeds our fair value, we would conduct the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step compares the implied fair value of the goodwill (determined as the excess fair value over the fair value assigned to our other assets and liabilities) to the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill were to exceed the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized.
At December 31, 2008, given the current disruption and uncertainty in the global economy and the decrease in our stock price over the last fiscal quarter, we determined that certain indicators had been noted to perform an impairment test beyond the annual goodwill impairment test. Our fair value exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. We therefore determined that there had been no impairment of goodwill.
Long-Lived Assets
We amortize our long-lived assets over the estimated useful life of the asset. We evaluate all of our long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, periodically for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets be evaluated for impairment when events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Events or changes in factor circumstances can include a significant adverse change in the business climate, strategic change in business direction, decline or discontinuance of a product line or service, a reduction in our customer base or a restructuring. If one of these events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, or that our estimated amortization period was not appropriate, we would record and impairment charge against our long-lived assets. The amount of impairment would be measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset as calculated using a net realizable value methodology. An impairment charge would be recorded as an operating expense in the period of the impairment and as a reduction in the carrying value of that asset.
At December 31, 2008, given the current disruption and uncertainty in the global economy, we determined that the indicators of impairment had been noted to perform an impairment test on our long-lived assets. Our definite lived intangible assets are client relationships, software and trademarks purchased with the Acquired Business. The definite lived intangibles from this acquisition have net book values, as at December 31, 2008 of $5.7 million, $1.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Due to the short period between the acquisition date of October 20, 2008 (for which all assets of the Acquired Business were recorded at fair value) and December 31, 2008 (the impairment measurement date), the Company determined that there was no impairment of these assets. The Company then tested the recoverable value and the fair value of the non-Merger related long-lived assets. The Company has determined that the carrying value of the capital assets exceed their fair value by $1.0 million and recorded a non-cash impairment charge at December 31, 2008.
Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123(R)”), we estimate the fair value of our Convertible Securities for financial accounting purposes using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, which requires a number of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the Convertible Securities, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate, forfeiture rate,
38
Table of Contents
future volatility of the price of our Shares and vesting period. The use of subjective assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.
For a period of time prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”), there was no active market for our Shares. Since we have been public for less than the vesting period of our Convertible Instruments, we do not consider the volatility of our share price to be representative of the estimated future volatility when computing the fair value of options granted. Accordingly, until such time that a representative volatility can be determined based on our share price, we will use a blended rate of our own share price volatility for the period we have been public and the average of three similar companies for the pre-IPO period. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based on Bank of Canada interest rates with an average yield of five years. Since we do not have a sufficient history relating to options granted and exercised subsequent to our IPO, we base our estimate of the expected life of the Convertible Instrument using the simplified method based on the period for which our Convertible Instruments vest or 4 years. Our Convertible Instruments vest on a monthly basis; therefore we have estimated our forfeiture rate at zero.
The fair values of the Convertible Instruments issued are being recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, which for the majority of Convertible Instruments is four years.
We determine the fair value of awards made under the Restricted Share Plan based on our share price on the date the awards are granted. The awards have no characteristics which would require classification as a liability, and as such they are not revalued in subsequent periods. Such awards give the holder the right to one Share for each vested restricted share plan unit. These awards vest on a monthly basis over the vesting period, which is four years. Stock-based compensation expense related to such awards is accrued based on the market value of the shares when the shares are issued, which generally coincides with the vesting period of these awards.
SARs give the holder the right to elect either to receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the quoted market price over the SARs price or to receive Shares equal to the fair value of the Shares less the exercise price divided by the market value of the Shares from treasury or receive Shares by making a cash payment equal to the exercise price. The Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept or reject a cash payment request in whole or in part. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated as the fair value of all vested stock appreciation rights on each reporting date. The liability is included in accrued liabilities and is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. If the holder elects to purchase Shares, the liability is credited to additional paid in capital.
Based on equity awards outstanding as of December 31, 2008, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation totaling $2.7 million and we expect to record approximately $0.9 million in stock-based compensation in our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. To the extent we continue to grant equity awards in the future, the amounts of stock-based compensation recorded in future periods may be greater than these expectations.
Stock-based compensation expense is reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss within Selling, general and administrative.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount. The Company maintains a provision for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes
39
Table of Contents
in customer payment terms. If the financial conditions of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.
Inventory
Inventory consists of STBs and is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value and consists of finished goods. Cost is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates its ending inventories for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels and projections of future demand within specific time horizons. Inventories in excess of future demand are reserved. In addition, the Company assesses the impact of changing technology and market conditions on its inventory-on-hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had inventory reserves of $9,700 and zero, respectively. For each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company expensed amounts related to inventory reserves of $9,700 and zero, respectively.
Amortization Policies and Useful Lives
The Company amortizes the cost of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets over the estimated useful service lives of these items. The determinations of estimated useful lives of these long-lived assets involve considerable judgment. In determining these estimates, the Company takes into account industry trends and company specific factors including changing technologies and expectations for the in-service period of these assets. On an annual basis, the Company reassesses its existing estimates of useful lives to ensure they match the anticipated life of the technology from a revenue producing perspective. If technological change happens more quickly than anticipated, the Company might have to shorten its estimate of the useful life of certain equipment which could result in higher amortization expense in future periods or an impairment charge to write down the value of this equipment.
Taxes
We have tax loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of $78.1 million as of December 31, 2008 that expire between the tax years 2009 and 2028, which have not been fully audited by relevant authorities. We have not recorded a financial statement benefit for these attributes as we have no history of profitability. To the extent we use tax loss carryforwards subsequent to 2008, we expect to record the benefit first as a reduction of goodwill to the extent that the loss was from the Acquired Business and then as a reduction in income tax expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which replaces FAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” (FAS 141). FAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and requires the acquirer to disclose certain information related to the nature and financial effect of the business combination. FAS 141(R) also establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired in a business combination. FAS 141(R) was effective on a prospective basis for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. For any business combination that takes place subsequent to January 1, 2009, FAS 141(R) may have a material impact on our financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”. One of the conclusions reached under EITF 07-05 was that an equity-linked financial instrument would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock if the strike price is denominated in a currency other than the issuer’s functional currency. The conclusion reached under EITF 07-05 clarified the accounting treatment for these and certain other financial instruments as it related to FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). EITF 07-5 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS 133, would not be treated as a derivative if it met the following conditions: (a) indexed to its own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.
As a result, the Company’s outstanding Warrants denominated in Canadian dollars detailed below are not considered to be indexed to its own stock and therefore have been treated as derivative financial instruments and recorded at their fair value as a liability. All other outstanding convertible instruments meet this definition and are included in shareholders’ equity.
· 5,500,000 Series A Warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.25 and expire on October 20, 2010.
· 5,500,000 Series B Warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.50 and expire on October 20, 2010.
The Warrants have been recorded at their relative fair values at issuance and will continue to be recorded at fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded as other income (expense). The Warrants will continue to be reported as a liability until such time as they are exercised or expire. The fair value of the Warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. On January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of the Warrants of $2,464,000 was reallocated from additional paid in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $587,950 being the fair value of the warrants on January 1, 2009 with the adjustment to opening accumulated deficit of $1,876,050. As of March 31, 2009, the fair value of the Warrants was determined to be $1,064,800; accordingly, we recorded $476,850 in other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the change in the fair value of the Warrants.
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“FASB No. 154”), the Company has recorded the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on January 1, 2009 of $1,876,050 to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as detailed above.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” or FAS 161 which required enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and was intended to improve the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments and related hedging items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of this standard do not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. SFAS No. 161 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new standard required the disclosure related to derivative and hedging activities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures are included in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Financial Accounting Standard 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and for interim periods within those years, which for us is the
41
Table of Contents
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. FSP FAS 142-3 provides guidance on the renewal or extension assumptions used in the determination of the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to better match the useful life of the recognized intangible asset to the period of the expected cash flows used to measure its fair value. We do not expect FSP FAS 142-3 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Accounting Standards Board confirmed that the changeover to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles will be required for publicly accountable enterprises, effective for the interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. As the Company will be a “reporting company” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, it expects to continue to use GAAP until the IFRS implementation date in the United States — currently estimated as no sooner than 2014.

ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company has elected to use the SEC’s “smaller reporting company” rules regarding the disclosure of executive compensation.
Under these rules, the Company provides a Summary Compensation Table covering 2008 compensation for:
· all individuals who served as the Company’s principal executive officer or acted in a similar capacity in 2008;
· the Company’s two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer who were serving as executive officers at the end of 2008; and
· up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided pursuant to the prior bullet point but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company at the end of 2008.
We refer collectively as these persons as our “named executive officers.” We also provide:
· a 2008 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table;
· a 2008 Director Compensation Table; and
· certain narrative disclosures.
Because the Company was not a “reporting company” under the Exchange Act prior to the filing with the SEC of this Registration Statement, we present compensation information in this section for 2008 only.
Overview of the Company’s Compensation Programs
JumpTV’s executive compensation program is designed to:
· attract and retain highly qualified individuals by offering compensation that is competitive in the marketplace;
· align executive interests with shareholder interests; and
· pay for performance.
There are three elements to JumpTV’s executive compensation program:
· base salary;
· short-term compensation incentives to reward corporate and personal performance; and
· long-term compensation incentives related to long-term increase in share value.
51
Table of Contents
The mix of compensation elements varies by executive level. In determining the mix, our Compensation Committee took into consideration the compensation principles and how the elements of executive compensation align with long-term shareholder value creation.
Base Salary
In establishing base salaries, the objective of the Compensation Committee is to establish levels that will enable JumpTV to attract and retain executives who can effectively contribute to the long-term success of JumpTV. The base salary component of JumpTV’s executive compensation program is designed to reflect and reward the skills, abilities, knowledge and experience of, as well as the contribution to be made by, each executive.
For the 2008 fiscal year of JumpTV, the Compensation Committee reviewed and established the base salary for the JumpTV executives based on:
· the executive’s personal performance and seniority;
· the executive’s contribution to the business of JumpTV; and
· the size and stage of development of JumpTV.
For the post-Merger period, executives of NeuLion who became executives of JumpTV after the Merger were paid base salaries substantially consistent with those they had previously received from NeuLion, with the exception of Ms. Li, who received a base salary determined with reference to the salary of the interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Paterson.
Short-Term Compensation Incentives
The role of short-term compensation incentives is to reward corporate and personal performance. Prior to the Merger, JumpTV had periodically paid cash bonuses and, in March 2008, established an annual cash bonus plan to be administered by the Compensation Committee. The cash bonus plan rewards contributions to JumpTV for results within the current fiscal year.
Payouts, made at the end of the year, are based on how the individual and the Company performed against established objectives. Payment of the Chief Executive Officer’s bonus is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and payment of bonuses to executives and employees is at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, and in each case is determined by reference to four established objectives:
· Growth in revenue;
· Cost containment;
· Growth in and retention of customers; and
· Executive achievement.
While bonuses are not linked to the Company’s achievement of specified revenue and EBITDA targets, both metrics are used as objective measures of management’s effectiveness and of the Company’s success. Customer growth and retention similarly indicate the effectiveness of the Company’s business model and how well management serves its clients. In assessing the executive officers’ individual performances, the CEO also weighs such qualitative factors as demonstrated leadership ability and the management and implementation of major projects and initiatives.
With respect to all four of these criteria, the CEO and the other executives met or exceeded expectations:
· Our revenue increased by 72%;
· We achieved efficiencies in Costs and expenses (on a pro forma basis, which includes the revenue and expenses of the Acquired Business);
· We gained 13 new customers; and
· The Company successfully consummated the Merger and the Private Placement.
The role of long-term compensation incentives is to reward an executive’s contribution to the long-term performance of the Company and potential for future contribution. Long-term compensation incentives are intended to align an executive’s performance with the long-term performance of JumpTV and to provide an additional incentive for an executive to enhance shareholder value. Long-term incentive compensation for directors, officers, employees and consultants is reviewed annually and provided through grants of:
· stock options pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Stock Option Plan”);
· awards pursuant to the Restricted Share Plan;
52
Table of Contents
· Retention Warrants pursuant to the Amended and Restated Retention Warrants Plan, as amended (the “Retention Warrants Plan”) (grants of Retention Warrants are not available for directors and officers); and
· SARs pursuant to the 2006 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, as amended (the “SARs Plan”).
The number of options granted for executives of JumpTV for the 2008 fiscal year was based on each individual’s salary range, responsibility and performance and took into account the number and terms of options that have been previously granted to that individual.
Options were granted to former NeuLion executives after the Merger on a basis consistent with those previously granted to executives of JumpTV.

2008 SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
The following 2008 Summary Compensation Table sets forth for the year ended December 31, 2008 all compensation paid, distributed or accrued for services rendered in all capacities by all individuals who served as executive officers during 2008 and who were “named executive officers” under the applicable SEC definition.

(1) Includes compensation for the period from October 21, 2008 to December 31, 2008, the period subsequent to the Merger.
(2) In regard to “Option Awards”, in accordance with the Company’s compensation plans the exercise price for convertible instruments is based on the 5-day volume weighted average price preceding the grant date. The grant date fair market value price is based on the closing price on the grant date. As such, there generally is a difference between the exercise price and the grant date fair market value price. In some cases the exercise price pre-negotiated. See “Option Awards” for additional information on option awards.
(3) During 2008, Mr. Paterson voluntarily surrendered 200,000 of his vested options having an exercise price of $6.05 and an equal number of options were granted to the non-executive directors. For additional information, see “Employment Agreements—Employment Agreement with G. Scott Paterson, former Chief Executive Officer.”
(4) As a result of the Merger on October 20, 2008, the Company was required to record at fair value all previously granted convertible instruments, including option awards. As a consequence of this valuation, expense recognized in respect of such option grants in accordance with FAS 123(R) for the period from October 21, 2008 to December 31, 2008 was nominal.
(5) Mr. Banks’ salary, cash severance payments, insurance premiums and charitable contributions were paid in Canadian dollars. The amount reported above was converted from Canadian to U.S. dollars using a rate of 1.06601429 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar, the average 2008 exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada Financial Markets Department. Amount represents $422,133 in severance paid pursuant to an agreement with Mr. Banks, $1,993 paid to Mr. Banks in lieu of health

benefits, $12,195 in charitable contributions made at the direction of Mr. Banks and $1,409 in insurance premiums paid by the Company and attributable to the ratable portion of a key-man life insurance policy the proceeds of which would have been payable to Mr. Banks’ designated beneficiaries. For additional information, see “Employment Agreements—Employment Agreement with Jordan Banks, former Chief Executive Officer.”
(6) Amount represents severance payments under the terms of the named executive officer’s severance agreement. For additional information, see “Employment Agreements—Employment Agreement with Nada Usina, former President of JumpTV Sports.”
(7) Amount represents severance payments under the terms of the named executive officer’s severance agreement. For additional information, see “Employment Agreements—Employment Agreement with Bill Stephen, former Head of Global Sales.”
Option Awards
The amounts reported in the Option Awards column represent the accounting expense recognized in 2008 for option grants to the respective named executive officers, calculated based on values determined as of the grant date in accordance with FAS 123(R) utilizing a Black-Scholes-Merton model except as follows. For financial statement purposes in accordance with FAS 123(R), the Company calculates stock-based compensation expense for awards under the Restricted Share Plan based on the market price of the Company’s Shares on each vesting date.
These amounts, however, will not agree to the Company’s financial statements as the Company completed a “reverse take over” for accounting purposes on October 20, 2008. As such, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that figures presented in the Company’s financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion (as the “accounting acquirer”) for the period from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 and January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 and only reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of JumpTV from October 21, 2008 to December 31, 2008.
The Company cautions that the amounts reported in the 2008 Summary Compensation Table for these awards may not represent the amounts that the named executive officers will actually realize from option awards. A named executive officer can only exercise options that vest while he or she is employed by the Company, and will only realize value if the options are exercised when the Company’s stock price exceeds the option exercise price. As at March 15, 2009, the Company’s stock price was less than the exercise price for all options held by named executive officers. As such, no value can be realized by exercising such options as of such date. Additional information on all outstanding options awarded to the named executive officers is reflected in the 2008 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table on page 61. Additional information on grants to named executive officers is reflected under “—Notes: Named Executive Officer Option Award Assumptions,” the narrative text beneath that table and the “2008 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” Table with accompanying notes.
The assumptions used by the Company in calculating these amounts are set forth below. The options and SARs were awarded under the Stock Option Plan and the SARs Plan (the SARs Plan together with the Stock Option Plan, the “Equity Plans”), respectively. Material provisions of the Equity Plans are described beginning on page 61. The incentive warrants were granted under stand-alone warrant certificates in connection with the Merger.

Employment Agreements
Employment Agreement with G. Scott Paterson, former Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Paterson and JumpTV entered into an employment agreement effective as of June 1, 2006 that provided for Mr. Paterson to act as JumpTV’s Chief Executive Officer. The agreement is for an indefinite term, subject to the provisions within the agreement. Mr. Paterson is permitted to terminate the employment agreement upon 60 days’ notice and JumpTV is permitted to terminate the employment agreement at any time for cause. The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $90,000 and a bonus that is based on the attainment of certain objectives to be determined by mutual agreement of the Board and Mr. Paterson. JumpTV has arranged for and paid the premiums on CAD$10 million of key-man term life insurance for Mr. Paterson to provide 24-hour all-peril coverage with JumpTV as beneficiary of CAD$8 million of the proceeds, with the remaining CAD$2 million to be paid to beneficiaries designated by Mr. Paterson. The annual premium payable by JumpTV in respect of the portion of Mr. Paterson’s insurance to be paid to his designated beneficiaries is CAD$1,973.
Effective January 1, 2007, Mr. Paterson’s annual base salary was increased to $300,000. In the event of a change of control of JumpTV, all options, SARs or other incentive compensation held by Mr. Paterson that are subject to vesting within a period of twelve months from the date of the change of control will automatically vest. The agreement contains (i) non-solicitation and non-competition covenants in favor of JumpTV, which apply during the term of Mr. Paterson’s employment and for a period of 24 months following the termination of his employment (subject to exclusions to the non-solicitation covenant allowing Mr. Paterson or his designates to solicit without restriction executives who had been associated with Paterson Partners or its affiliated entities and exclusions to the non-competition covenant in respect of commercial involvement that encompasses an interest of less than five percent in a publicly traded company), and (ii) confidentiality covenants in favor of JumpTV, which apply indefinitely. In the event of termination of the agreement by JumpTV without cause, Mr. Paterson is entitled to a severance package consisting of 24 months’ compensation in lieu of notice inclusive of base

salary and bonuses and a continuation of benefits for a period of 24 months. In addition, all options, SARs or other incentive compensation held by Mr. Paterson that were subject to vesting within a period of 24 months from the date of termination will automatically vest. In addition, Mr. Paterson has been granted 1,000,000 SARs pursuant to the SARs Plan, with an exercise price of $4.00 per SAR, that vest at a rate of 1/48th per month. Effective as of the date of the grant of such SARs, March 27, 2006, 11/48ths of Mr. Paterson’s SARs were deemed vested. On April 9, 2007, Mr. Paterson was granted 650,000 options to purchase Shares with an exercise price of $6.05 per option with such options vesting at a rate of 1/48th per month.
For purposes of Mr. Paterson’s employment agreement, termination “without cause” includes a change of control or a constructive dismissal after Mr. Paterson provides specified notice to the Company. “Change of control” means a transaction or series of transactions whereby directly or indirectly:
(a) any person or combination of persons obtains Shares or other securities in excess of the number which, directly or following conversion thereof, would entitle them to cast 50% or more of the votes attaching to all Shares which may cast to elect directors; or
(b) the Company shall consolidate or amalgamate with, or enter into a statutory arrangement with, any other person (other than a subsidiary of the Company (a “Subsidiary”)) or merge with and into any other person (other than a Subsidiary) or another person shall merge with or into, the Company, and, in connection therewith, all or part of the outstanding voting Shares shall be changed in any way, reclassified or converted into, exchanged or otherwise acquired for Shares or other securities of the Company or any other person or for cash or any other property; or
(c) the Company (or a Subsidiary) shall sell or otherwise transfer, including by way of the grant of a leasehold interest property or assets (A) aggregating more than 50% of the consolidated assets (measured by either book value or fair market value) of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the most recently completed financial year of the Company or (B) which during the most recently completed financial year of the Company generated, or during the then current financial year of the Company are expected to generate, more than 50% of the consolidated operating income or cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries; or
(d) there occurs a change in the composition of the Board which occurs at a single meeting, or a succession of meetings occurring within six months, of the shareholders of the Company, whereby such individuals who were members of the Board immediately prior to such meeting or succession of meetings cease to constitute a majority of the Board without the Board, as constituted immediately prior to such meeting, approving of such change.
A “constructive dismissal” shall be deemed to have occurred if there occurs any material and adverse change in the title, status, position, job function, job responsibilities and/or reporting responsibilities of Mr. Paterson from those current at the date of his employment agreement without his prior written consent.
In November 2007, Mr. Paterson resigned the position of Chief Executive Officer and was appointed Executive Chairman of JumpTV effective such date. Mr. Paterson’s employment agreement was amended accordingly and all other terms of his agreement continue in effect.

In May 2008, Mr. Paterson volunteered, on an unsolicited basis, to surrender under certain circumstances certain options to purchase Shares that were granted to him on April 9, 2007. He offered, and the Board accepted, that at each juncture if and when options were granted in the future to independent Board members that were in addition to an initial grant of 100,000 incentive securities (consisting of options or SARs) Mr. Paterson would surrender on a one-for-one basis up to all of his 650,000 options currently outstanding with an exercise price of $6.05 per option. For further information, see the narrative discussion accompanying the Director Compensation Table below.
Employment Agreement with Jordan Banks, former Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Banks and JumpTV entered into an employment agreement in October 2007 that provided that Mr. Banks would act as JumpTV’s Chief Executive Officer effective November 2007. The agreement was for an indefinite term, subject to the provisions within the agreement. Mr. Banks was permitted to terminate the employment agreement upon 60 days notice and JumpTV was permitted to terminate the employment agreement at any time for or without cause. The agreement provided for a base salary of CAD$375,000 in the first year of the agreement and for increases in future years. In addition, Mr. Banks was entitled to an annual bonus, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, of up to 60% of his salary in the first year of the agreement and for increases in future years, and was entitled to a one-time bonus based on the Share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
JumpTV had arranged for and paid the premiums on CAD$10 million of key-man life insurance for Mr. Banks, to provide 24-hour all-peril coverage with JumpTV as beneficiary of CAD$8 million of the proceeds, with the remaining CAD$2 million to be paid to beneficiaries designated by Mr. Banks. The annual premium payable by JumpTV in respect of the portion of Mr. Banks’s insurance to be paid to his designated beneficiaries was CAD$1,502. Mr. Banks’ agreement also provided for certain charitable contributions by the Company as directed by Mr. Banks.
In the event of termination without cause (which included a “change of control,” as defined in the agreement), Mr. Banks was entitled to salary and pro rata bonus payment to the date of termination, in addition to one year’s salary and bonus (based on the previous year’s bonus) and employment benefits. However, if a severance payment was due in the first six months of the agreement, Mr. Banks was entitled to receive a bonus equal to 30% of his first year salary; if due within the first nine months, a bonus equal to 45% of his first year salary; and if due within the first twelve months of the agreement, a bonus equal to 60% of his first year salary. If a severance payment was due during the first year of the term as a result of a change of control, then the bonus due was 60% of his first year salary regardless of when such change of control occurred.
The agreement provided that Mr. Banks would be granted 1,325,000 SARs on the effective date of the agreement and, subject to his continued employment, 350,000 SARs the following year and 150,000 SARs a year after that. In the event of a change of control of JumpTV (as defined in the agreement) or termination without cause, all incentive compensation held by Mr. Banks that was subject to vesting within a period of 12 months from the date of the change of control or termination without cause would automatically vest (15 months if such change of control or termination without cause occurred during the first year of the agreement).
Mr. Banks ceased acting as Chief Executive Officer in June 2008. In connection with the termination of his employment, Mr. Banks and JumpTV agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in his employment agreement, in exchange for a mutually satisfactory release of claims against JumpTV, that JumpTV would pay Mr. Banks CAD$450,000 in cash, less statutory deductions, that the 1,325,000 SARs previously granted to Mr. Banks would be accelerated such that they became

immediately fully vested, and would be exercisable until September 25, 2008, and that JumpTV would grant to Mr. Banks 370,000 SARs at a price of $0.58, which was the five day volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of the date of the grant. JumpTV additionally agreed to transfer ownership of certain nominal assets to Mr. Banks. Mr. Banks received payment of CAD$2,125 in lieu of health insurance benefits after his separation from the Company.
Employment Agreement with Nada Usina, former President of JumpTV Sports and JumpTV
In connection with her appointment as President of JumpTV Sports, the Company and Ms. Usina entered into an employment agreement, dated August 31, 2007. Her agreement provided that Ms. Usina would serve in this role beginning August 1, 2007 and was for an indefinite term. The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $234,000, a retention bonus of $22,000 to be paid on January 1, 2008 (provided Ms. Usina was still employed with the Company), an annual bonus of up to 50% of her base salary, provided that predetermined objectives were met. In addition, the agreement provided for a grant of 500,000 warrants to purchase Shares. The agreement also provided for benefits available to senior executives, participation in the Equity Plans and eligibility for participation in future grants, including of incentive compensation awards. The agreement also contained non-solicitation, non-competition confidentiality covenants in favor of the Company.
The agreement provided for a severance payment, continuation of certain benefits to Ms. Usina and accelerated vesting of certain unvested awards in the event of termination without cause by the Company (or by Ms. Usina for “good reason”) and for accelerated vesting in the case of a change in control of the Company.
In February 2008, Ms. Usina was named President of JumpTV. She ceased to be the President of JumpTV on September 5, 2008. In connection therewith, Ms. Usina entered into a severance agreement with the Company and received a severance package that included $369,368 in cash severance pay, with an installment of $100,000 to be paid by each October 20, 2008, December 15, 2008 and April 15, 2009, and $69,368 to be paid by July 15, 2009. Ms. Usina received $1,389 in lieu of health insurance benefits after her separation from the Company.
Employment Agreement with Bill Stephen, former Head of Global Sales
In connection with his appointment as Head of Global Sales of JumpTV, the Company and Mr. Stephen entered into an employment agreement, dated August 10, 2007. This agreement provided that Mr. Stephen would assume this office beginning August 15, 2007 and serve “at will.” The agreement provided for annual base salary of $200,000, a $50,000 year-end bonus (so long as he was still employed with the Company at that time), incentive compensation of up to $175,000 with the achievement of 100% of the nine- and twelve-month revenue targets (with additional compensation available if the plan is “overachieved”) and for participation in the Company’s benefits plan. In addition, the agreement provided for an initial grant of 125,000 options to be granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. All of such options expired unexercised on January 15, 2009.
Mr. Stephen ceased to serve as the Company’s Head of Global Sales on October 17, 2008 and in connection therewith entered a separation agreement, pursuant to which he was paid $15,385 in cash.

Equity Compensation Plans
Second Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, as amended
The Stock Option Plan was established to advance the interests of JumpTV by:
· providing Eligible Persons (as defined below) with additional incentives;
· encouraging stock ownership by Eligible Persons;
· increasing the proprietary interest of Eligible Persons in the success of JumpTV;
61
Table of Contents
· encouraging Eligible Persons to remain loyal to JumpTV or a related entity; and
· attracting new employees, officers, directors and consultants to JumpTV or a related entity.
The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board, or if so authorized by the Board, the Compensation Committee. Under the Stock Option Plan, options to purchase Shares may be granted by the Board of Directors to employees, directors, officers and consultants of JumpTV or any related entity (“Eligible Persons”). The Board or Compensation Committee, as the case may be, also has the authority, subject to the terms of the Stock Option Plan, to:
· determine the terms, including the limitations, restrictions and conditions, if any, upon such grants;
· suspend or terminate the Stock Option Plan or any Option Agreement (as defined in the Stock Option Plan);
· interpret the Stock Option Plan and to adopt, amend and rescind such administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Stock Option Plan as it may from time to time deem advisable, subject to required prior approval by any applicable regulatory authority; and
· make all other determinations and to take all other actions in connection with the implementation and administration of the Stock Option Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable.
The Board’s guidelines, rules, regulations, interpretations and determinations are conclusive and binding upon all parties.
The Stock Option Plan provides that, subject to any regulatory requirements, the exercise price for any option granted under the Stock Option Plan is based on the closing market price of the Shares on the market with the largest trading volume of the Shares on the last trading date preceding the date of the grant. If there is no trading market for the Shares, the Board will in good faith determine the exercise price of an option based on the fair market value of the Shares on the date of the grant. If the option is to be granted on a pre-determined date in the future, the exercise price will be the weighted average trading price, rounding up to the nearest cent, of the Shares on the stock exchange or quotation system upon which any shares of JumpTV are then listed and posted or quoted for trading for the five trading dates preceding the date of the grant. In all instances, the share option price shall not be less than fair market value, as determined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan shall be equal to the greater of (i) 4,000,000 Shares and (ii) 12.5% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares from time to time. As a result, any increase in the issued and outstanding shares will result in an increase in the available number of Shares issuable under the Stock Option Plan, and any exercises of options will make new grants available under the Stock Option Plan. The maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan is exclusive of any awards made pursuant to the Company’s Restricted Share Plan and SARs Plan.
Options are exercisable during a period established at the time of their grant provided that such period will expire no later than five years after the date of grant, subject to early termination. Unless the Board decides otherwise, options granted under the Stock Option Plan will vest over a 48-month period and may be exercised after they have vested until the end of the five-year period. Options not exercised
62
Table of Contents
prior to the expiry date will become null and void and the Shares reserved for such issuance shall be made available for subsequent option grants.
If a holder of options (an “Optionholder”) ceases to be an Eligible Person on a particular date (the “Termination Date”) for any reason whatsoever other than death, each option held by such Optionholder, its permitted assigns or the Optionholder’s Registered Retirement Savings Plan (“RRSP”) or a Registered Retirement Income Fund (“RRIF”) will cease to be exercisable 90 days after the Termination Date. If any portion of an option has not vested by the Termination Date, that portion of the option may not under any circumstances be exercised by the Optionholder, or the Optionholder’s RRSP or RRIF or its permitted assigns. In the event that an Optionholder’s employment, consultancy or directorship, as applicable, is terminated by JumpTV for cause (as defined in such Optionholder’s employment or consulting agreement, as applicable), such Optionholder’s options, whether vested or otherwise, shall immediately terminate unless the Board determines otherwise within 30 days. If an Optionholder dies, the legal representatives of the Optionholder may exercise the Optionholder’s options within 120 days after the date of such Optionholder’s death (but only to the extent the options were by their terms exercisable on the date of death).
If there is a “take-over bid” or an “issuer bid” other than a “normal course issuer bid” (within the meaning of each of these terms under applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules) made for all or any of the issued and outstanding Shares, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit any or all unvested options of any or all Optionholders outstanding under the Stock Option Plan to become immediately exercisable (subject to any limitations that the Board may impose) in order to permit Shares issuable upon the exercise of such options to be tendered to such bid. Unvested options do not automatically vest in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) unless otherwise agreed in an employment or consulting agreement between the Optionholder and JumpTV or unless an Optionholder’s employment is terminated other than for cause, in connection with a change of control. However, the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit any or all unvested options of any or all Optionholders outstanding under the Stock Option Plan to become immediately exercisable (subject to any limitations the Board may impose) in the event of such a change of control.
Options are personal to each Eligible Person and its permitted assigns. No Eligible Person may deal with any options or any interest in them or transfer any options held by the Eligible Person except in accordance with the Stock Option Plan.
At the 2007 annual and special meeting of the shareholders of JumpTV, shareholders approved by ordinary resolution amendments to the Stock Option Plan to:
· specify the types of amendments to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan or any options granted thereunder that would require shareholder approval;
· permit any option granted under the Stock Option Plan that is scheduled to expire or terminate during, or within ten business days following, a trading black-out period to be exercised within ten business days following such trading black-out period;
· specify the basis for the issuance and exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan to or by United States residents in compliance with applicable U.S. securities laws; and
· clarify the provisions regarding vesting of options upon termination of employment or consultancy. All such amendments were previously approved by the Board.
At the 2009 annual and special meeting of the shareholders of JumpTV, shareholders approved by ordinary resolution amendments to the Stock Option Plan to:
· bring the Stock Option Plan into compliance with certain provisions of United States tax law;
· specify when the Board may amend or terminate the Stock Option Plan;
· specify the types of amendments to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan or any options granted thereunder requiring shareholder approval; and
· set forth the maximum number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance, or issued, to insiders.
All such amendments were previously approved by the Board.
63
Table of Contents
As of March 15, 2009, the maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of options was 14,221,884. Of that number, options to purchase 9,230,579 Shares had been issued and are currently outstanding, leaving options to purchase 4,991,305 Shares available for grant.
2006 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, as amended
JumpTV has established the SARs Plan for senior officers and directors of JumpTV and any subsidiary or affiliate thereof. The purpose of the SARs Plan is to motivate senior officers and directors of JumpTV and any such subsidiary or affiliate thereof to put forth their best efforts on behalf of JumpTV (and any affiliate or subsidiary thereof) and to closely align the personal interests of such senior officers and directors with those of the shareholders.
The SARs Plan is administered by the Board, or if so authorized by the Board, by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Under the SARs Plan, the Board or the Compensation Committee (as provided in the SARs Plan) may grant SARs awards to senior officers or directors of JumpTV and any such subsidiary or affiliate thereof. Subject to the provisions of the SARs Plan, the Board or the Compensation Committee (as provided in the SARs Plan) has the authority to:
· determine and designate from time to time those persons to whom SARs are to be granted and the number of Shares to be subject to such SARs; and
· determine the time or times when, and the manner in which, each SAR will be exercisable and the duration of the exercise period.
All discretionary awards to non-executive directors shall be administered by the Compensation Committee, being an independent committee of the Board.
Each SARs grant specifies:
· the period for which the SARs thereunder are exercisable, to a maximum term of five years from the date of grant; and
· the exercise price of such SARs, as determined by the Board at the time such SARs are granted, subject to a minimum of the market price of the Shares (as determined in accordance with the SARs Plan).
A holder of SARs may elect to be paid the “in the money value” of each SAR upon exercise thereof in cash or may be issued that number of Shares (which JumpTV may issue from treasury or purchase on the secondary market) equal to the aggregate “in the money value” of the SARs divided by the fair market value of one Share at the time of exercise. Alternatively, a holder of SARs may choose to pay the exercise price of the SARs and be issued Shares from treasury. A holder of SARs may elect to receive any combination of the above. The Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept or reject a request for cash by a holder in whole or in part.
At the 2007 annual and special meeting of the shareholders, shareholders approved an increase in the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the SARs Plan from the greater of 4,150,000 or 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares. The Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of SARs that terminate, expire unexercised or are cancelled shall be available for subsequent grants of SARs under the SARs Plan.
Upon the death of a holder of SARs while a senior officer or director of JumpTV (or within 30 days of such senior officer or director’s termination of employment), the holder’s SARs will expire upon
64
Table of Contents
the earlier of 12 months from the date of death and five years from the date of grant. Upon the termination of an office or directorship due to disability of a holder of SARs, the holder’s SARs will expire upon the earlier of six months from the date of termination and five years from the date of grant. Upon the termination of a holder of SARs’ employment with JumpTV for a reason other than death or disability, the holder’s SARs will expire upon the earlier of 90 days from the date of termination and five years from the date of grant (except if such termination is for cause, in which case, such holder’s SARs will expire immediately upon notice of termination).
If there is a “take-over bid” or an “issuer bid” other than a “normal course issuer bid” (within the meaning of each of these terms under applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules) made for all or any of the issued and outstanding shares, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit any or all unvested SARs of any or all holders of SARs outstanding under the SARs Plan to become immediately exercisable (subject to any limitations that the Board may impose) in order to permit shares issuable under such SARs to be tendered to such bid. Unvested SARs do not automatically vest in the event of a change of control (as defined in the SARs Plan) unless otherwise agreed in an employment or consulting agreement between the holder of SARs and JumpTV or unless the holder’s employment or directorship is terminated due to a change of control (except in the case of termination for cause).
Pursuant to an amendment to the SARs Plan approved by the Board on May 13, 2008, the Board or any committee of the Board shall not be permitted to accelerate the vesting of any awards under the SARs Plan except in the case of death, disability, retirement, change in control or pursuant to the terms and conditions of pre-existing employment agreements. If the Board and/or committee of the Board accelerates or waives the vesting period for any reasons other than the instances above, the number of SARs to be accelerated or waived for purposes other than death, disability, retirement, change of control or pursuant to the terms and conditions of pre-existing employment agreements shall be limited to 10% of the securities authorized for issuance under the SARs Plan.
At the 2009 annual and special meeting of the shareholders of JumpTV, shareholders approved by ordinary resolution amendments to the SARs Plan to:
· bring the SARs Plan into compliance with certain provisions of United States tax law;
· specify when the Board may amend or terminate the SARs Plan;
· specify the types of amendments to the provisions of the SARs Plan or any options granted thereunder requiring shareholder approval; and
· set forth the maximum number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance, or issued, to insiders.
All such amendments were previously approved by the Board.
No SARs holder shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to the SARs holder’s rights prior to the date of issuance of such SARs holder of a certificate or certificates for such Shares in connection with a Securities Settlement Request or a Treasury Shares Settlement Alternative Request (as each are defined in the Stock Appreciation Rights Plan).
As of March 15, 2009, the maximum number of SARs issuable upon exercise of JumpTV SARs was 5,688,753. Of that number, SARs to purchase 1,898,116 Shares had been issued and are currently outstanding, leaving SARs to purchase 3,790,637 Shares available for grant.

Amended and Restated Retention Warrants Plan, as amended
For purposes of the Retention Warrants Plan summary, the term “Eligible Persons” should be understood to exclude directors and officers of the Company.
JumpTV has established the Retention Warrants Plan for JumpTV Eligible Persons, as the case may be, is to advance the interests of JumpTV by:
· providing Eligible Persons with additional incentive;
· encouraging share ownership by Eligible Persons;
· increasing the proprietary interest of Eligible Persons in the success of JumpTV;
· encouraging Eligible Persons to remain with JumpTV or a related entity; and
· attracting new employees, officers and consultants to JumpTV or a related entity.
The Retention Warrants Plan is administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be. Subject to the limitations of the Retention Warrants Plan, the Board or the Compensation Committee (as provided in the Retention Warrants Plan) has the authority to:
· issue Retention Warrants to purchase Shares to Eligible Persons;
· determine the terms, including the limitations, restrictions and conditions, if any, upon such issuances;
· interpret the Retention Warrants Plan and adopt, amend and rescind such administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Retention Warrants Plan as it may from time to time deem advisable, subject to required prior approval by any applicable regulatory authority;
· suspend or terminate the Retention Warrants Plan; and
· make all other determinations and to take all other actions in connection with the implementation and administration of the Retention Warrants Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable.
Any discretionary awards made to non-executive directors under the Retention Warrants Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee, being an independent committee of the Board.
The maximum number of Shares available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Retention Warrants issued pursuant to the Retention Warrants Plan is limited to 2,500,000, inclusive of those Share purchase warrants issued by JumpTV pursuant to its acquisition of the XOS Network or issued pursuant to its acquisition of Cycling Television Limited (“CyclingTV”), but exclusive of all other issuances of warrants made prior to the establishment of the Retention Warrants Plan as well as any warrants, options, or rights granted under any other security-based incentive compensation plans of JumpTV and such warrants, options or rights, as the case may be, are not subject to the terms of the Retention Warrants Plan.
Pursuant to the Retention Warrants Plan and subject to the applicable rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Shares may be listed from time to time, the Board shall establish the exercise price of a Retention Warrant at the time each Retention Warrant is granted on the basis of the closing market price of the Shares on the market with the largest trading volume of the Shares on the last
66
Table of Contents
trading date preceding the date of the issuance. In all instances the exercise price shall be no lower than fair market value as determined under Section 409A of the Code.
Subject to the regulations of the applicable regulatory authorities, the aggregate number of securities available for issuance under the Retention Warrants Plan to any one Eligible Person and an RRSP or a RRIF of which that person is an annuitant, is 5% of the Shares outstanding at the time of the grant (on a non-diluted basis). Retention Warrants issued must be exercised no later than 5 years after the date of the issuance or such lesser period as the applicable issuance, regulatory authorities or the provisions of the Retention Warrants Plan may require (the “Expiry Date”); provided, however, in the event that a Retention Warrant is scheduled to expire or terminate during or within ten business days following a blackout period, the Expiry Date shall be the date that is the tenth business day following the date of expiry of the blackout period (the “Blackout Expiry Date”). If a new blackout period is imposed prior to the Blackout Expiry Date, the Blackout Expiry Date shall be the date that is the tenth business day following the date of expiry of the new blackout period. The Board may determine when any Retention Warrant will become exercisable and may determine that the Retention Warrant will be exercisable in installments. No fractional Shares may be issued and the Board may determine the manner in which fractional Share value will be treated. Not less than 100 Shares may be purchased at any one time except where the remainder totals less than 100.
If an Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason whatsoever other than death, each Retention Warrant held by such person, such person’s permitted assigns, or such person’s RRSP or RRIF will cease to be exercisable 90 days after such person’s termination date. If any portion of a Retention Warrant has not vested by the termination date, that portion of the Retention Warrant may not under any circumstances be exercised by such person, such person’s permitted assigns or such person’s RRSP or RRIF, regardless of whether such person received compensation in respect of dismissal or was entitled to a period of notice of termination which would otherwise have permitted a greater portion of the Retention Warrant to vest in such person, their permitted assigns or their RRSP or RRIF.
If an Eligible Person dies, the legal representatives of the Eligible Person may exercise the Eligible Person’s Retention Warrants, the Eligible Person’s permitted assign’s Retention Warrants and the Retention Warrants held by the Eligible Person’s RRSP or RRIF within 120 days after the date of the Eligible Person’s death but only to the extent the Retention Warrants were by their terms exercisable on the date of death.
In the event that an Eligible Person’s employment, consultancy or directorship, as applicable, is terminated by Jump TV for cause (as defined in such Eligible Person’s employment or consulting agreement, as applicable), such Eligible Person’s Retention Warrants and its permitted assigns’ Retention Warrants, whether vested or otherwise, shall immediately terminate. The Board shall have discretion to permit such Eligible Participant and its permitted assigns to exercise the vested portion of such Eligible Person’s Retention Warrants (as of the termination date). The Board shall have a period of 30 days to exercise its discretion to permit the exercise of such Eligible Person’s Retention Warrants and in the event of such exercise of discretion, the Retention Warrants shall be deemed not to have been terminated as of the termination date of the Eligible Person’s employment, consultancy or directorship, as applicable.
If there is a “take-over bid” or an “issuer bid” other than a “normal course issuer bid” (within the meaning of each of these terms under applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules) made for all or any of the issued and outstanding Shares, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, by resolution permit any or all unvested Retention Warrants outstanding under the Retention Warrants Plan to become immediately exercisable (subject to any limitations the Board may impose) in order to permit Shares issuable under such Retention Warrants to be tendered to such bid. There shall be no automatic vesting of

unvested Retention Warrants in the event of a change of control unless otherwise agreed in an Eligible Person’s employment or consulting agreement; however, the Board may, in its sole discretion, by resolution permit any or all unvested Retention Warrants of any or all Participants outstanding under the Retention Warrants Plan to become immediately exercisable (subject to any limitations the Board may impose) in the event of a change of control.
Pursuant to an amendment to the Retention Warrants Plan approved by the Board on May 13, 2008, the Board or any committee of the Board shall not be permitted to accelerate the vesting of any Retention Warrants under the Retention Warrants Plan except in the case of death, disability, retirement, change in control or pursuant to the terms and conditions of pre-existing employment agreements. If the Board and/or a committee of the Board accelerates or waives the vesting period for any reason other than the instances above, the number of Retention Warrants to be accelerated or waived for purposes other than death, disability, retirement, change of control or pursuant to the terms and conditions of pre-existing employment agreements shall be limited to 10% of the securities authorized for issuance under the Retention Warrants Plan. Shareholder approval is required to increase the benefits accrued to participants under the Retention Warrants Plan, when modifying the requirements for participation under the Retention Warrants Plan, when changing the provisions relating to the administration of the Retention Warrants Plan or when changing the terms of a Retention Warrant including, without limitation, any vesting provisions.
In the event that Retention Warrants issued under the Retention Warrants Plan are surrendered in accordance with the provisions of the Retention Warrants Plan, terminate or expire without being exercised in whole or in part, the Shares reserved for issuance but not purchased under such lapsed Retention Warrants shall be available for subsequent Retention Warrants to be issued under the Retention Warrants Plan.
Retention Warrants are personal to each Eligible Person and its permitted assigns. No Eligible Person may deal with any Retention Warrants or any interest in them or transfer any Retention Warrants held by the Eligible Person except in accordance with the Retention Warrants Plan.
At the 2009 annual and special meeting of the shareholders of JumpTV, shareholders approved by ordinary resolution amendments to the Retention Warrants Plan to:
· bring the Retention Warrants Plan into compliance with certain provisions of United States tax law;
· specify when the Board may amend or terminate the Retention Warrants Plan;
· specify the types of amendments to the provisions of the Retention Warrants Plan or any options granted thereunder requiring shareholder approval; and
· set forth the maximum number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance, or issued, to insiders.
All such amendments were previously approved by the Board.
As of March 15, 2009, the maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of Retention Warrants is 2,500,000. Of that number, Retention Warrants to purchase 1,095,844 Shares had been granted and are currently outstanding, leaving Retention Warrants to purchase 1,404,156 Shares available for grant.
Restricted Share Plan
JumpTV has established a Restricted Share Plan for employees and consultants of JumpTV and JumpTV’s subsidiaries (“Eligible Participants”). The purpose of the Restricted Share Plan is to encourage share ownership by Eligible Participants through the issuance of awards to Eligible Participants based on an assessment of the Eligible Participants’ current and potential ability to contribute to the success of JumpTV. The Restricted Share Plan is administered by the Board, or if so authorized by the Board, by the Compensation Committee. The Board or Compensation Committee, as the case may be, has the authority, subject to the terms of the Restricted Share Plan, to:
· select those who are Eligible Participants;
· grant awards under the Restricted Share Plan;
· interpret the Restricted Share Plan; and
68
Table of Contents
· establish the rules and regulations applying to the Restricted Share Plan and to make all other determinations it deems necessary or useful for the administration of the Restricted Share Plan.
The vesting of an award under the Restricted Share Plan is determined by the Board or Compensation Committee, as the case may be, at the time of grant. Upon the vesting of an award under the Restricted Share Plan, JumpTV, at its discretion, may issue from treasury the number of Shares represented by such vested award, purchase the number of Shares represented by such vested award on the secondary market for delivery to the holder of such vested award or, unless the related award agreement provides otherwise, pay to such holder an amount in cash equal to the market value of the Shares represented thereby on the vesting date (where market value is determined in accordance with the Restricted Share Plan). JumpTV has determined that it will issue securities from treasury in all cases of vesting of an award under the Restricted Share Plan. A holder of an award under the Restricted Share Plan does not have any rights as a shareholder until such award has vested in accordance with its terms and the underlying Shares have been issued by JumpTV.
Awards under the Restricted Share Plan are not generally assignable. However, the Board or the Compensation Committee may determine at the time of grant or thereafter that any award under the Restricted Share Plan is assignable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in whole or in part and in such circumstances and under such conditions as specified by the Board or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case where a holder of an award under the Restricted Share Plan dies, his or her legal representative shall have the rights of such holder under the Restricted Share Plan and the Award Agreement (as defined in the Restricted Share Plan) for a period of 90 days following the death of such holder, following which period all awards under the Restricted Share Plan that have not vested shall terminate.
A maximum number of 1,000,000 Shares may be issued from JumpTV’s treasury pursuant to awards under the Restricted Share Plan over the life of the Restricted Share Plan. As of March 15, 2009, 1,000,000 awards had made, 135,050 had been forfeited and cancelled, 75,000 had been returned, and 741,558 awards had vested and a like number of Shares been issued. There remain 48,392 Shares available for issuance pursuant to prior awards under the Restricted Share Plan. Any of the Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to an award under the Restricted Share Plan that has been cancelled, expired, forfeited or terminated without having been exercised in full or settled in cash or shares (either from treasury or purchased in the secondary market) will not be subsequently awarded under the terms of the Restricted Share Plan. No new grants are permitted under the Restricted Share Plan.
Awards under the Restricted Share Plan, whether or not subject to the attainment of performance objectives, expire immediately, are forfeited and are of no further force and effect on the date upon which the holder ceases to be an employee or consultant, as the case may be, of JumpTV for any reason, unless otherwise determined by the Board or Compensation Committee at or after the time of the grant. There is no automatic vesting of unvested awards under the Restricted Share Plan in connection with a change of control (as defined in the Restricted Share Plan) unless otherwise agreed in an employment or consulting agreement. However, the Board or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be, shall have, in its sole discretion, the power to accelerate the time at which any or all awards under the Restricted Share Plan may vest or the time during which any awards under the Restricted Share Plan will become fully vested including, without limitation, in connection with such a change of control.

Payments in Connection with Termination or Change in Control
The Equity Plans and the Company’s Retention Warrants Plan and Restricted Stock Plan each provide for immediate vesting of all options, SARs, awards under the Restricted Stock Plan or warrants held thereunder by plan participants if any such person’s employment, directorship, or other association, as the case may be, with the Company is terminated (other than for cause) prior to the expiry of such options, SARs, awards under the Restricted Stock Plan or warrants by virtue of, or in connection with, a change of control (as this term is defined in the applicable plan) of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company may also provide in its discretion for vesting under such plans if there is a take-over bid or issuer bid (as such terms are defined in such plan) or in the event of a change of control. See “Equity Compensation Plans” for additional information on these plans.
For additional information regarding termination and change of control provisions incorporated in Messrs. Paterson’s and Banks’ and Ms. Usina’s employment agreements, see “Employment Agreements—G. Scott Paterson, former Chief Executive Officer,” “—Jordan Banks, former Chief Executive Officer” and “—Employment Agreement with Nada Usina, former President of JumpTV Sports and JumpTV.”
The Company is party to no other contract, agreement, plan or arrangement (written or unwritten) that provides for payment following a change a named executive officer’s responsibilities or following a change in control. The Company has no other plan that provides for the payment of retirement benefits, or other benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement, or at, following, or in connection with resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer.

As such, there generally is a difference between the exercise price and the grant date fair market value price. In some cases the exercise price is pre-negotiated. See “Option Awards Under 2008 Director Compensation Table” for additional information.
Director Compensation
Overview
Directors who are also executives of JumpTV do not receive an annual retainer for service on the Board and are not currently entitled to any compensation for attending meetings of the Board, committees
71
Table of Contents
of the Board or meetings of shareholders of the Company. None of Ms. Li, Mr. Paterson and Mr. Reichbach received any compensation for service on the Board in 2008 as each is an executive officer of the Company. Non-executive directors were paid an annual retainer of $10,000 and a fee of $500 per Board meeting and committee meeting attended. Each committee Chairman received an additional annual fee of $5,000 for acting in such capacity. Each non-executive director has been granted options to purchase Shares, with such options vesting at a rate of 1/48th per month, as discussed below in this section. Non-executive directors are reimbursed for any out-of pocket travel expenses incurred in order to attend meetings.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Directors’ Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Directors’ Compensation Plan”), as approved by the shareholders of the Company at the 2007 annual and special meeting of the shareholders of JumpTV, the non-executive directors of JumpTV receive at least 50% of their annual retainers and Board meeting and committee meeting fees by way of issuance of Shares and may elect to receive up to 100% of their retainers and fees in Shares in lieu of cash compensation.
Directors are also granted other equity-based compensation as determined by the Compensation Committee.
The Company’s practice since its initial public offering on August 10, 2006 has been to grant 100,000 incentive securities under the Stock Option Plan and the SARs Plan to non-executive directors upon their appointment to the Board. To better reflect the efforts devoted by non-executive directors on behalf of the Company and its shareholders, the Board, at the suggestion of Mr. Paterson, resolved on May 13, 2008 to grant to each non-executive director 100,000 options. The additional options to each non-executive director were granted in four equal installments of 25,000 options on the final day that the Shares were available to be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange in each of June 2008, September 2008, December 2008 and March 2009, such grants to be governed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan. On his own initiative, in May 2008 Mr. Paterson volunteered to have an equal number of his vested options having an exercise price of $6.05 surrendered and cancelled on each such trading day in equal number to the quantity of options to be granted to such non-executive directors, resulting in a total cancellation of 200,000 of his vested options. In 2008, Messrs. Anderson and Battista also received grants of 100,000 SARs each.
Amended and Restated Directors’ Compensation Plan, as amended
The purpose of the Directors’ Compensation Plan is to advance the interests of JumpTV by:
· encouraging its directors to acquire Shares, thereby increasing the proprietary interests of such persons in JumpTV and aligning the interests of such persons with the interests of shareholders generally; and
· preserving JumpTV’s cash for other corporate purposes.
The Directors’ Compensation Plan is administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee. Subject to the limitations of the Directors’ Compensation Plan, the Board has the authority to:
· issue Shares to non-executive directors under the Directors’ Compensation Plan;
· determine the terms, including the limitations, restrictions and conditions, if any, upon such grants;
· interpret the Directors’ Compensation Plan and to adopt, amend and rescind such administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Directors’
72
Table of Contents
Compensation Plan as it may from time to time deem advisable, subject to required prior approval by any applicable regulatory authority;
· suspend or terminate the Directors’ Compensation Plan; and
· make all other determinations and to take all other actions in connection with the implementation and administration of the Directors’ Compensation Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable.
The maximum number of Shares available to be issued to non-executive directors pursuant to the Directors’ Compensation Plan is limited to 500,000. Management directors are not eligible to receive Shares under the Directors’ Compensation Plan because they do not receive compensation as directors.
At the 2009 annual and special meeting of the shareholders of JumpTV, shareholders approved by ordinary resolution amendments to the Directors’ Compensation Plan to:
· permit the Compensation Committee to approve Board and Board Committee remuneration from time to time;
· specify when the Board may amend or terminate the Directors’ Compensation Plan; and
· specify the types of amendments to the provisions of the Retention Warrants Plan requiring shareholder approval.
All such amendments were previously approved by the Board.
Under the Directors’ Compensation Plan, the non-executive directors of JumpTV receive at least 50% of their annual retainers and Board and committee meeting fees in the form of Shares and may elect to receive up to 100% of their retainers and fees in Shares in lieu of cash compensation. Non-executive directors of JumpTV are currently paid an annual retainer of $10,000 and a fee of $500 per Board meeting and committee meeting attended. Each committee Chairman currently receives an additional annual fee of $5,000 for acting in such capacity. Subject to the overall maximum as described in the preceding paragraph, there is no maximum number of Shares available to be issued by JumpTV to any individual non-executive director under the Directors’ Compensation Plan.
Following the end of the second fiscal quarter and following the year end, each non-executive director currently receives at least $2,500 of the non-executive director’s annual base compensation and 50% of all accrued Board and Committee meeting fees in Shares in full satisfaction of such amounts owing. A non-executive director may elect to receive additional Shares in lieu of cash compensation owing by JumpTV to the non-executive director. Following the end of the second fiscal quarter and following the year end, JumpTV committee Chairmen currently receive at least $3,750 of their annual base compensation and 50% of all accrued Board meeting fees in Shares in full satisfaction of such amounts owing. A Committee Chairman may elect to receive additional Shares in lieu of cash compensation owing by JumpTV to the Chairman. The number of Shares issuable to each non-executive director is determined by dividing the dollar value of the retainers and fees to be paid in Shares by the closing price of the Shares on the payment date.
Upon ceasing to be a non-executive director, a director will no longer be eligible to receive Shares under the Directors’ Compensation Plan and any amounts owing to such director shall be paid in cash.
Pursuant to an amendment to the Directors’ Compensation Plan approved by the Board on May 13, 2008, shareholder approval is required to effect any Board amendment of the Directors’ Compensation Plan to increase the maximum number of shares issuable under the Directors’ Compensation Plan.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the non-executive directors of JumpTV earned a total of 4,646 Shares in lieu of cash compensation pursuant to the Directors’ Compensation Plan. These Shares were issued to the non-executive directors on January 16, 2008.
73
Table of Contents
For the first half of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the non-executive directors of JumpTV earned a total of 45,469 Shares in lieu of cash compensation pursuant to the Directors’ Compensation Plan. These Shares were issued to the non-executive directors on September 8, 2008. A portion of the fees earned in 2008 had not yet been paid as of March 15, 2009. The directors will be issued shares and cash in April 2009 for 2008 compensation subject to their allocation election pursuant to the Directors’ Compensation Plan.
As of March 15, 2009, the maximum number of Shares issuable under the Directors’ Compensation Plan is 500,000. Of that number, 50,115 Shares had been granted, leaving 449,885 Shares available for grant.
Option Awards under the 2008 Director Compensation Table
Amounts reported in the Option Awards column represent the accounting expense recognized in 2008 for option grants to each of the Company’s directors therein referenced. The amounts are calculated in the same manner as the corresponding amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

Director Independence
The Company is not subject to the listing requirements of any U.S. national securities exchange; the Shares are listed and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. To make the independence determinations that follow, the Board applied the criteria established by the SEC, The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), and the Internal Revenue Service, as applicable, for determining director and committee member independence.
The Board determines the independence of its members through a broad consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, including an assessment of the materiality of any relationship between the Company and a director. In making each of the following independence determinations, the Board considered and broadly assessed, from the standpoint of materiality and independence, all of the information provided by each director in response to detailed inquiries concerning his independence and any direct or indirect business, family, employment, transactional or other relationship or affiliation of such director with the Company.
Board of Directors
The Board is currently comprised of eight members: Charles B. Wang, G. Scott Paterson, Nancy Li, Roy E. Reichbach, John R. Anderson, Gabriel A. Battista, Shirley Strum Kenny and David Kronfeld. Using the objective and subjective independence criteria enumerated in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules’ listing requirements and the SEC rules, the Board has reviewed all relationships between each director and the Company and, based on this review, the Board has affirmatively determined that Dr. Kenny and Messrs. Anderson, Battista and Kronfeld are each independent in accordance with Nasdaq independence criteria. A lead independent director, Mr. Anderson, provides overall leadership to the Board and ensures that the Board’s agenda will enable it to successfully carry out its duties.
Audit Committee
The Board has determined that each of its Audit Committee members, Dr. Kenny and Messrs. Anderson and Kronfeld, is independent in accordance with the independence criteria of Nasdaq and for purposes of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Board has determined that the

Employee Share Purchase Plan
At the annual and special meeting of shareholders of JumpTV held on June 26, 2008, shareholders approved JumpTV’s Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), pursuant to which certain employees of JumpTV may elect to purchase Shares from treasury. Upon implementation of the ESPP, senior employees of JumpTV will be eligible to participate in the ESPP following six months of continuous employment with JumpTV. Participating employees will be able to make contributions, by payroll deduction only, at a rate of not less than 10% of their salary or such other integer percentage rate up to and including 100% of their salary as such participating employee shall elect, which contribution rate may be changed at the election of the employee from time to time in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. Participating employees will be able to choose to suspend participation in the ESPP provided proper notice in writing is filed with JumpTV at least 15 days prior to the first of the month in which payroll deductions are to be suspended.
The Board has the power and authority, without notice or shareholder approval, at any time and from time to time, to suspend or terminate the ESPP and to establish the rules and regulations relating to ESPP and to make all determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the ESPP. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board shall have the authority to amend the ESPP as follows without seeking shareholder approval:
· amendments as may be necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of any applicable regulatory authority or stock exchange;
· an amendment to correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission in the ESPP;
· an amendment to change the provisions relating to the administration of the ESPP; and
· to make any other amendment to the ESPP that does not require shareholder approval by virtue of the provisions of the ESPP, applicable laws or relevant regulatory or stock exchange requirements.
In the event of termination of the ESPP, each participating employee shall receive the number of whole Shares in his or her account and a cash payment by check for any fractional Shares held in his account, as soon as practicable following the effective date of termination of the ESPP.
Any amendment of the ESPP to increase the maximum number of Shares issuable under the ESPP shall become effective only upon shareholder approval thereof, such approval to be obtained in accordance with applicable corporate and securities laws and the rules of the stock exchanges on which the Shares are listed.
A maximum of 2,000,000 Shares have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP from treasury of JumpTV at a 15% discount to the 10 day volume weighted average price of the Shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange provided, however, that the aggregate of JumpTV’s securities (i) issued to insiders of JumpTV, within any one year period, and (ii) issuable to insiders of JumpTV, at any time, under the ESPP, or when combined with all of JumpTV’s other security based compensation arrangements, could not exceed 10% of JumpTV’s total issued and outstanding securities.
The administrator of the ESPP will hold the Shares credited to a participating employee’s account for the whole period of participation of such participating employee in the ESPP. A participating employee who terminates employment (with or without cause at law), retires or otherwise elects to
81
Table of Contents
withdraw from participation in the ESPP, or, the participating employee’s beneficiary in the event of the participating employee’s death, shall receive, subject to applicable withholding taxes:
· the number of whole Shares credited to his or her account; or
· the cash equivalent of the value of the whole Shares to his or her account, less any brokerage fees, as determined by the administrator, as of the date of termination of employment, retirement, death or withdrawal from the ESPP, whichever the case may be.
Any fractional Shares remaining in the participating employee’s account will be paid in cash by check in an amount equal to the value of the fractional Shares as determined by the administrator.
A participating employee who terminates employment (with or without cause) may, upon notice to Jump TV, request that all or a portion of the Shares in that participating employee’s account be transferred to his or her name, or an external account in his or her name, or be sold or, where the participating employee holds Shares in a registered retirement plan, that all or a portion of the Shares in that participating employees’ registered retirement plan be transferred to, be sold and the proceeds transferred to another registered retirement plan in the participating employee’s name, or be sold and the proceeds, net of withholding tax, be remitted to the participating employee. Any fractional Shares credited to the participating employee’s account shall be disregarded on any sale or transfer and the participating employee shall be entitled to receive the cash equivalent thereof.
Each participating employee of a subsidiary company shall, upon such company ceasing to be a subsidiary, cease to be a participating employee of the ESPP and will receive the number of whole Shares in his account and a cash payment by check for any fractional shares held in his account as soon as practicable following such participating employee ceasing to be a participant of the ESPP.
JumpTV is responsible for the administration of the ESPP and the payment of any fees or charges incurred in the operation of the ESPP, including payments to the administrator, counsel and other agents employed by JumpTV in connection with the operation of the ESPP.
JumpTV has not implemented the ESPP since its approval by shareholders.
Canadian Exchange Controls and Other Limitations on Security Holders
To the Company’s knowledge, there are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in Canada which may affect the import or export of capital by the Company, or, except as described below, the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of the Company’s securities. JumpTV is a corporation existing under the federal corporate laws of Canada; such laws restrict corporations from declaring or paying dividends on any class of its shares where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is, or would be after the payment, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes of shares. There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by the charter or other constating documents of the Company on the right of a non-Canadian to hold or vote Shares of the Company, other than in the possible application of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) to the extent that the non-Canadian acquires control of the Company.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief description of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”), as of the date hereof, generally applicable to a holder of Shares of the Company in respect of holding and disposing of its Shares (other than a disposition to the Company) where, at all relevant times for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, such holder (i) holds its Shares as capital property, (ii) deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with the Company, (iii) is not resident, nor deemed to be resident, in Canada, and (iv) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “Non-Canadian Shareholder”).
Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Canadian Shareholder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere or an authorized foreign bank. Such holders should consult their own tax advisors.
This summary does not apply in respect of a disposition of Shares to the Company and assumes that, at all relevant times, the Company will be a resident of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the Shares will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
This summary is based on the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”) in force on the date hereof and the current administrative policies and practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) published in writing by the CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the Regulations which have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that all such Proposed Amendments will be enacted in their present form. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, if at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, or changes in the administrative policies and practices of the CRA.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice or representations to any particular Non-Canadian Shareholder. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to a Non-Canadian Shareholder in respect of its Shares. The income or other tax consequences will vary depending on a Non-Canadian Shareholder’s particular circumstances, including the country, province or other jurisdiction in which such holder resides or carries on business. This summary does not take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations which may differ materially from those described herein. Non-Canadian Shareholders should consult their own legal and tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them based on their particular circumstances.
Dividends on the Shares
Dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on the Shares to a Non-Canadian Shareholder will be subject to withholding tax under the Canadian Tax Act at a rate of 25%, subject to reduction under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty or convention.
For example, under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, as amended (the “U.S. Convention”) the withholding tax rate is generally reduced to 15% in respect of a dividend paid to a person who is the beneficial owner of the dividend and who is resident in the United States for purposes
83
Table of Contents
of the U.S. Convention. Where a Non-Canadian Shareholder is a ‘fiscally transparent entity’ within the meaning of the U.S. Convention (for example, a U.S. limited liability company that is disregarded for U.S. tax purposes) a reduced rate of withholding tax may be available based on a look-through approach described under the U.S. Convention. Subject to certain detailed rules in the U.S. Convention, the benefits of the U.S. Convention (such as reduced rates of withholding tax) are only available to qualifying persons (the “LOB constraints”), as defined in the U.S. Convention. A ‘qualifying person’ for this purpose generally includes a person which is a resident of the United States for purposes of the U.S. Convention which is a natural person or a company whose shares are listed and substantially and regularly traded on a recognized stock exchange. Non-Canadian Shareholders seeking to rely on the U.S. Convention should consult their tax advisors concerning the applicability of tax treaty benefits and the LOB constraints, having regard to their particular circumstances.
Under the U.S. Convention, a dividend paid to certain tax-exempt entities that are resident in the United States may be exempt from Canadian withholding tax levied in respect of dividends paid on the Shares. Such tax-exempt entities should consult their own tax advisors.
A Non-Canadian Shareholder should consult its own tax advisors regarding its ability to claim foreign tax credits with respect to any Canadian withholding tax.
Dispositions of Shares
A Non-Canadian Shareholder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on the disposition of its Shares, unless the Shares constitute or are deemed to constitute ‘taxable Canadian property’ (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) to the Shareholder and the Non-Canadian Shareholder is not otherwise entitled to relief under the terms of any applicable tax treaty.
In general, provided the Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” (which currently includes the Toronto Stock Exchange), the Shares will not constitute ‘taxable Canadian property’ of a Non-Canadian Shareholder so long as it has not, either alone or in combination with persons with whom the holder does not deal at arm’s length, owned (or had an option to acquire) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company at any time within the 60 month period preceding the disposition.
Subject to an exemption pursuant to an applicable tax treaty or convention, a Non-Canadian Shareholder will be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition of the Shares where the Shares are taxable Canadian property. Such a Non-Canadian Shareholder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition for such Shares, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of such Shares to the Non-Canadian Shareholder. A Non-Canadian Shareholder will be required to include one-half of the amount of any resulting capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) in income, and will be required to deduct one-half of the amount of any resulting capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) against taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition. Allowable capital losses not deducted in the taxation year in which they are realized may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding years, or carried forward and deducted in any following year, against taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances specified in the Canadian Tax Act.
Under the U.S. Convention, a person who is resident in the United States for purposes of the U.S. Convention who realizes a capital gain on a disposition of shares which do not derive their value principally from real property situated in Canada is generally exempt from tax in respect of the capital gain under the Canadian Tax Act. These provisions are subject to the LOB constraints (described above).
84
Table of Contents
Non-Canadian Shareholders to whom the Shares constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.
Other Limitations on Security Holders
Canadian law imposes regulatory requirements when a non-Canadian acquires control of a Canadian business that depends on the dollar amount of the transaction and the nature of the acquired business. Pursuant to the Investment Canada Act, a non-Canadian acquiring control of a Canadian business must deliver a “notification” of such investment to the applicable minister (the “Notification”), unless the acquisition is subject to review and approval. The investment is generally reviewable and subject to approval if the total asset value of the Canadian business, control of which is being acquired, is greater than $312 million (as of the date hereof) or greater than $5 million if the Canadian business is a “cultural business”, within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act. To the extent that an acquisition of control of a Canadian business that carries on certain cultural business activities is not reviewable, the Minister of Canadian Heritage may, nonetheless, within 21 days of the receipt of a Notification, seek an order requiring the investor to apply for review and seek approval of the acquisition.
An acquisition of control is approved under the Investment Canada Act if the applicable minister is satisfied (or is deemed to be satisfied) that the acquisition is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.

At its annual and special meeting of shareholders in May 2009 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company will seek the approval of its shareholders to pursue, in accordance with Canadian and Delaware law and in the sole discretion of the Board without further approval of or notice to its shareholders, a change in the Company’s domicile to the State of Delaware. If such proposal is adopted at the Annual Meeting, and if the Board subsequently pursues the change in domicile, the rights of the Company’s shareholders will change and will be governed by Delaware law. The differences between such rights under Canadian and Delaware law will be set forth in the Annual Meeting management information circular.
The Shares to be registered hereunder are common shares of the Company, which is a corporation incorporated under the CBCA. The Shares are listed and trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The holders of the Shares have no pre-emptive, redemption, purchase or conversion rights.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of
JumpTV Inc.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of JumpTV Inc. [the “Company”] as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of JumpTV Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2007, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2008 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]
December 31, 2008
1. Nature of Operations
Further to the reverse takeover transaction described below, these consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion Inc. [“NeuLion”], the legal subsidiary, prior to the reverse takeover and the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of JumpTV and NeuLion subsequent to the reverse takeover. These consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal acquirer (JumpTV), but are deemed to be a continuation of the accounting acquirer (NeuLion).
JumpTV’s primary business is working with content partners to develop end-to-end solutions for multimedia IPTV services.
On October 20, 2008, the Company completed a merger with NeuLion, an end-to-end IPTV service provider of live and on-demand sports, international and religious programming over the Internet to a computer and/or through set top boxes [“STBs” or “STB”] to a television. Under the terms of the merger, JumpTV issued 49,577,427 common shares, 1,840,097 contingent shares, which represented approximately the entire issued and outstanding shares of JumpTV prior to closing, to the security holders of NeuLion, in exchange for their NeuLion securities. Pursuant to the merger, the Company issued 5,000,000 warrants exercisable for two years at US$0.63 and 2,700,000 employee stock options exercisable for five years at US$0.60 to employees of the Company.
On October 20, 2008, AvantaLion LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Charles B. Wang, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, purchased 10,000,000 units from JumpTV’s treasury at a price of CDN$1.00 per unit. Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of one (1) common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at CDN$1.25 and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at CDN$1.50. The warrants partially comprising the Units are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. G. Scott Paterson, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, also purchased 1,000,000 Units on the same terms. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Units were CDN$11 million [US$9,214,700].
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
On October 20, 2008, in accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations, the Company determined that NeuLion was the accounting acquirer and accordingly has accounted for this merger as a reverse take over.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles [“U.S. GAAP”]. See Note 17 for reconciliation of United States to Canadian GAAP. The Company also has an investment in KyLinTV, Inc. [“KyLinTV”] in which, as at December 31, 2008, it has a 17.1% equity interest [2007 — 17.1%]. KyLinTV is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of investment in affiliate including intangible assets and goodwill, inventory obsolescence, assumptions used in determining the fair value of the Company’s shares and the allowance for doubtful accounts. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure they appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes

available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when an arrangement exists, prices are determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and the goods or services have been delivered. If any of these criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until such time as all of the criteria are met.
In addition, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition [“SAB 104”] when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or when risk of ownership has passed, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable.
For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to each element using the residual method; this allocation is based on vendor specific objective evidence [“VSOE”] of fair value of the undelivered items. VSOE is based on the price that the Company charges for the undelivered element based on the sales price of each element when sold on a standalone basis. In addition, the Company defers the portion of the arrangement fee equal to the fair value of the undelivered elements until they are delivered.
The Company, at the request of one customer, has entered into a “Bill and Hold” arrangement. The Company accounts for its bill and hold revenue arrangement consistent with the provisions of SAB 104 and recognizes revenue when the risk of ownership has passed to the customer and a fixed commitment to purchase the goods is received. The Company does not retain any specific performance obligations such that the earning process is not complete and ordered goods are segregated from the Company’s inventory and not subject to fulfilling other orders. Inventory consists of finished goods. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $2,500,000 and $1,250,000 in revenue associated with this arrangement, respectively.
JumpTV earns revenue as follows:
[i] Subscriber Revenue:
Subscriber revenue
Subscriber revenue consists of recurring revenue based on subscriber usage, bandwidth usage fees for the JumpTV infrastructure and/or technology usage fees based on the number of subscribers. The subscriber revenue is typically generated on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and can be either a fixed fee per user or a variable fee measured by bandwidth use or as a percentage of end user pricing. Revenue is recognized over the term of the subscription. The Company defers the appropriate portion of cash received for which services have not yet been rendered and recognizes the revenue over the term of the subscription, which is generally between thirty days and one year. Pay-per-view revenues are deferred and recognized in the period when the content is viewed.
eCommerce revenue
eCommerce revenue consists of JumpTV services provided to its content providers which include software applications for merchandising (i.e. sale of merchandise), ticketing for a content provider’s events and management of a content provider’s donor efforts. Included in eCommerce revenue is advertising revenue earned through the insertion of advertising impressions on websites and in streaming video at a cost per thousand impressions. Advertising revenue is recognized based on the number of impressions displayed (“served”) during the period. Deferred revenue for eCommerce represents the timing difference between collection of advertising revenue and when the advertisements are served, which is typically between thirty and ninety days.

December 31, 2008
Technology services revenue
Technology services revenue consists of the set up and maintenance services JumpTV provides related to our technology such as website (internet) or console (STB) design, user interface optimization and streaming configuration. Included in technology services revenue is the licensing of the technology required to convert, compress and transmit video signals to our content distribution network and ultimately to end users. Revenue is recognized as the service is performed. Deferred revenue on technology fees is as follows:
[i] Set up fees are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized over the term of the arrangement, which is generally three to five years.
[ii] Maintenance fees are deferred at the beginning of the maintenance period and are recognized in revenue over the term of the maintenance service, which is generally one year.
[iii] Licensing fees for software are deferred at the beginning of the service period and recognized over the term of the arrangement, which is generally three to five years.
[ii] Equipment revenue
Equipment revenue consists of the sale of STB to content partners and/or end users to enable the end user to receive the content over the internet and display the signal on a standard television. Shipping charges are included in total equipment revenue. Revenue is recognized generally upon shipment to the customer. The customer does not have any right of return on STBs.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments, such as money market funds, that have maturities of less than three months.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount. The Company maintains a provision for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial conditions of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $290,538 and $45,000, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of set top boxes and is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value and consists of finished goods. Cost is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates its ending inventories for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels and projections of future demand within specific time horizons. Inventories in excess of future demand are reserved. In addition, the Company assesses the impact of changing technology and market conditions on its inventory-on-hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s inventory reserves were $9,700 and zero, respectively. For each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company expensed amounts related to inventory reserves of $9,700 and zero, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The cost of assets sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

December 31, 2008
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
Computer hardware | | 5 years |
Computer software | | 3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | | 7 years |
Leasehold improvements | | Shorter of useful life and lease term |
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property, plant and equipment is used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, there was an impairment loss of $1,036,993 and zero in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less amortization. Cost for intangible assets acquired through business combinations represents their fair market value at the date of acquisition. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets which are as follows:
Customer relationships | | 5 years |
Trademarks | | 1 year |
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the intangible assets are used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level and between annual tests if changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company’s impairment test was based on its single operating segment and reporting unit structure. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, there was no impairment loss.

Investment in affiliate
Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee’s board of directors and voting rights. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive loss; however, the Company’s share of the losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity in loss of affiliate” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reflected in the caption “Investment in affiliate” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses as of December 31, 2008, the investment has been reduced to zero. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.
Deferred transcoder costs
Deferred transcoder costs represent the unamortized costs of licensing fees incurred related to the setup of new channels for NeuLion’s customers. These costs are being recognized as a charge to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss consistent with the related revenue over the remaining initial contractual term between NeuLion and its customers, which typically ranges from two to five years. Deferred transcoder costs are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Income taxes
The Company has implemented the provisions on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), which provides guidance for the recognition, derecognition and measurement in financial statements of tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns. FIN 48 requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax effect is recognized at the largest amount of the benefit that has greater than a fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance for classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 requires that a liability created for unrecognized tax benefits be presented as a separate liability and not combined with deferred tax liabilities or assets.
We have operations in a number of countries worldwide. Our income tax liability is therefore a consolidation of the tax liabilities we expect to have in various locations. Our tax rate is affected by the profitability of our operations in all locations, tax rates and taxation systems of the countries in which we operate our tax policies and the impact of certain tax planning strategies which we have implemented.

December 31, 2008
To determine our worldwide tax liability we make estimates of possible tax liabilities. Our tax filings, positions and strategies are subject to review under local or international tax audit and the outcomes of such reviews are uncertain. In addition, these audits generally take place years after the period in which the tax provision in question was provided and it may take a substantial amount of time before the final outcome of any audit is known. Future tax audits could differ materially from the amounts recorded in our financial statements.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have had substantial tax losses over the years, therefore we have recorded a valuation allowance against all of our tax assets.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and non-monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction. These transactional foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, due from/to related parties, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, obligations under capital lease and customer advances which are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to accounts receivable arising from the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations to the Company. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations on its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that corresponds with the specific credit risk of its customers, historical trends and economic circumstances.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $366,756 and $138,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments
The Company accounts for all stock options and warrants using a fair value-based method. The fair value of each stock option and warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options, retention warrants and warrants granted to employees is measured at the date of the grant. The fair value of the warrants granted to non-employees is measured as the warrants vest. The offsetting entry is an increase to additional paid-in capital for an amount equal to the stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options. Upon exercise, the proceeds of the options and warrants together with the fair value recorded in additional paid-in capital are reclassified to share capital.

Stock appreciation rights give the holder the right to elect to either receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the quoted market price over the stock appreciation right price or to receive common shares equal to the fair value of the common shares less the exercise price divided by the market value of the common shares from treasury or receive common shares by making a cash payment equal to the exercise price. The Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept or reject a cash payment request in whole or in part. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated as the fair value of the vested portion of the stock appreciation rights outstanding, with ongoing measurement of the outstanding liability. The liability is entitled accrued stock appreciation rights and is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. If the holder elects to purchase common shares, the liability is credited to additional paid-in capital.
Restricted share units give the holder the right to one common share for each vested restricted share plan unit. These awards vest on a monthly basis over the vesting period which is four years. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted share units is accrued based on the market value of the shares when the shares are issued, which generally coincides with the vesting period of these awards.
Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board [“FASB”] issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual contingencies, any contingent consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. SFAS 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141(R)). In addition, SFAS 141(R)’s requirement to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling interest in addition to that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It also amends SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, to, among other things, provide guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible assets and assets that the acquirer intends not to use. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, therefore, the impact of the implementation of this pronouncement cannot be determined until the transaction occurs.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No 141, Business Combinations, and other U.S. GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset is to be applied prospectively, therefore, the impact of the implementation of this pronouncement cannot be determined until the transactions occur.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This Statement shall be effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted

Accounting Principles. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applicable to recurring fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company is generally limited to annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 107. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008, and at that time determined no transition adjustment was required.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this EITF 07-5 on the financial condition and results of operations.
In October 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.” This standard expands upon the implementation guidance in SFAS No. 157 for estimating the present value of future cash flows for some hard-to-value financial instruments, such as collateralized debt obligations. This statement became effective upon issuance. The Company doesn’t believe that SFAS 157-3 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 08-6 “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations”, on how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, and how an equity method investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for. The Company doesn’t believe that EITF 08-06 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combination
On October 20, 2008, the Company completed a merger with NeuLion. Under the terms of the merger, JumpTV issued 49,577,427 common shares and 1,840,097 contingent shares, which represented approximately the entire issued and outstanding shares of JumpTV prior to closing, to the securityholders of NeuLion, in exchange for their NeuLion securities.

December 31, 2008
In accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations, the Company determined that NeuLion was the accounting acquirer and accordingly has accounted for this merger as a reverse take over.
NeuLion is a full end-to-end enterprise level internet protocol television [“IPTV”] service and technology provider that builds and manages private networks for companies interested in reaching a specific target audience. By using the public internet, customers of NeuLion’s clients can reach the broadcast service from most places in the world — on the television, through the web to a computer via STBs or through other consumer devices.
The purchase price of $33,558,784 represents the fair value of 49,577,427 of common shares issued of $31,990,711, the fair value of vested equity instruments in the amount of $515,364 and $1,052,709 in direct transaction costs. The merger had been previously announced on June 9, 2008. In addition to the transaction costs there were $968,553 of share issuance costs required under the merger agreement.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The Company is obtaining third party valuations of certain intangible assets and evaluating certain liabilities and assets, thus the allocations of the purchase price is preliminary.
As at October 20, 2008
Cash | | $ | 22,884,683 | |
Current assets | | 5,005,670 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | 5,046,405 | |
Other long-term assets | | 1,040,516 | |
Intangible assets | | 6,000,000 | |
Goodwill | | 6,846,183 | |
Total assets | | 46,823,457 | |
Current liabilities | | (12,430,235 | ) |
Other long-term liabilities | | (834,438 | ) |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 33,558,784 | |
Of the $6,000,000 of acquired intangible assets, $100,000 was assigned to the JumpTV brand, and $5,900,000 was assigned to customer relationships. None of the intangible assets are expected to be deductible for tax purposes
All of the $6,846,183 of goodwill was assigned to the Company as a whole as the company operates in one segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The purchase price of NeuLion contains contingent purchase price consideration of 1,840,097 common shares. The number of shares will be based on a 24 month revenue milestone for Cycling TV ending on July 31, 2009. The contingent consideration will be accounted for as an addition to the purchase price consideration when the shares are issued or become issuable. As at December 31, 2008, the Company does not believe Cycling TV will achieve the revenue milestone.
As noted above, the purchase price allocation of the tangible and intangible assets is preliminary and may be adjusted as a result of obtaining additional information regarding preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase.

FASB 144, Accounting for Disposal and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, requires that a long-lived asset be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized as the difference between fair value and carrying amount when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The Company determined that during the year ended December 31, 2008 the business climate had changed such that the carrying value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment may not be fully recoverable. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1,036,993 for the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no such comparable amounts in the prior year.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,321,824 and $561,077, respectively.

Investment in affiliate – KyLinTV
The Company records its investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.
On July 1, 2006, the Company acquired a 20.2% equity interest in KyLinTV through the conversion of $4,100,000 that was due from KyLinTV. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method, with the results of KyLinTV included in the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition.
As of October 1, 2007, the Company’s equity interest in the affiliate decreased to 17.1%. As previously discussed, the Company also provides KyLinTV with administrative and general corporate support. Management has determined that as a result of the 17.1% equity interest combined with the services that NeuLion provides KyLinTV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV, therefore the Company continues to account for KyLinTV using the equity method of accounting for investment.
The Company is accounting for its pro-rata share of their equity interest in KyLinTV, 20.2% from July 1, 2006 to September 31, 2007 and 17.1% from October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008.
The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment has been reduced to zero. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

10. Stock Option and Stock-Based Compensation Plans
[i] Stock Option Plans
2004 stock option plan [the “2004 Plan”]
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, requiring the recognition of expense related to the fair value of its stock-based compensation awards. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 was based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
NeuLion had a stock option plan dated February 1, 2004. Under the plan, employees may be granted options intended to comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the plan provides for the grant of options to non-employee directors or consultants of NeuLion. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to an amount determined by the plan’s administering committee, which cannot be less than the fair market value of NeuLion’s common stock at the date of grant. Options granted generally have 10-year contractual terms and vest over four years.

For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, no compensation expense was recorded for total stock-based compensation expense related to stock options under the 2004 Plan, as the fair value of those stock options was determined to be nominal on the grant date.

New Stock Option Plan [the “New Plan”]
On October 20, 2008, as a result of the merger, the Company adopted JumpTV’s stock option plan. The New Plan applies to all previous grants to JumpTV employees and future grants of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any entity controlled by the Company. The exercise price for any new option granted under the New Plan is determined by the five-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares prior to the date of grant but cannot be less than such a price. Options are exercisable during a period established at the time of their grant provided that such period will expire no later than five years after the date of grant, subject to early termination of the option in the event the holder of the option dies or ceases to be a director, officer or employee of the Company or ceases to provide ongoing management or consulting services to the Company or entity controlled by the Company. The maximum number of common shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the New Plan is equal to the greater of [i] 4,000,000 common shares; and [ii] 12.5% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares.
A summary of stock option activity under the New Plan is as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, $127,243 and nil, respectively, were recorded for total stock-based compensation expense related to stock options under the New Plan. The weighted average exercise price of options exercisable as at December 31, 2008 was $2.39.
There were no stock options granted during 2007.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock options granted are as follows:
The exercise price of stock options is calculated using the five day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX preceding the grant date. The Company estimates volatility based on a blended rate between the Company’s historical volatility and the volatility of comparable companies. The Company estimates the risk-free rate based on the federal reserve rate. The Company estimates the expected life of stock options to be four years for all option grants.
The weighted average fair value of all stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $0.34 based on the following assumptions:

[v] Stock Appreciation Rights Plan [“SARS”]
On October 20, 2008, as a result of the merger, the Company adopted JumpTV’s stock appreciation rights plan [“SARS Plan”]. The maximum number of units that can be granted under the SARS Plan is equivalent to the greater of 4,150,000 or 5% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding common shares. The exercise price shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant but in no event shall the exercise price be lower than the market price of the common shares at the time of the grant. Each unit granted under the SARS Plan has a maximum life of five years from the date of the grant. The SARS Plan provides the unitholder the right to settle the award as follows:
[1] | | Receive cash compensation less the exercise price or to purchase or receive an equivalent number of common shares, less the exercise price; |
| | |
[2] | | In lieu of receiving a cash settlement, the unitholder can elect to receive a number of common shares equal to the fair value of the common shares less the exercise price divided by the market value of the common shares from treasury; or |
| | |
[3] | | Elect to pay the Company the exercise price and receive common shares equal to the number of units granted under the SARS Plan from treasury. |
The Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept or reject a cash payment request in whole or in part.

12. Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares consist of stock options.
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had potential common shares which, due to the losses incurred, were considered anti-dilutive equity instruments. Accordingly, the effect of stock options for each of the years has not been reflected in computing diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The following table summarizes the different potential common shares that were outstanding as at December 31, 2008 and 2007 but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. See note 10 for additional details.

Contingencies
During the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and a party to claims. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the accounts where required. Although the extent of potential costs and losses, if any is uncertain, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

16. Income Taxes
The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the Canadian statutory tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
| | $ | | $ | |
Combined basic federal and provincial rates | | 33.5 | % | 36.1 | % |
Income tax benefit based on statutory income tax rate | | (3,898,482 | ) | (1,631,092 | ) |

Increase in valuation allowance | | 1,669,262 | | — | |
Income tax expense | | — | | — | |
The increase in valuation allowance consists of the creation of additional tax losses which have not been recognized for accounting purposes.

The Company has approximately $76,399,216 in non-capital tax losses available to be applied against future years’ income which expire as follows:
| | $ | |
| | | |
2009 | | 541,836 | |
2010 | | 198,000 | |
2026 | | 21,263,325 | |
2027 | | 25,544,598 | |
2028 | | 28,851,457 | |
| | 76,399,216 | |
Due to the losses incurred since inception and expected future operating results, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the future tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carryforward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments.
The Company does not have any uncertain tax provisions under FIN 48.
17. Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Canadian GAAP
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with United States GAAP. The following adjustments and disclosures would be required in order to present these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP:

[i] Stock Appreciation Rights [“SARS”]
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted, on a modified prospective basis, CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock Based Payments, for new awards granted on or after this date under the Company’s stock appreciation rights plan.
Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a liability and compensation expense for the fair value of the SARS on each reporting date.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company recognizes a liability and compensation expense for the “in the money” value of the SARS on each reporting date.
The cumulative effects of adopting CICA Handbook Section 3870 on January 1, 2007 in 2008 and 2007 were $16,599 and nil, respectively.

The Company’s outstanding share capital is comprised of common shares. At December 31, 2008, an unlimited number of common shares were authorized and 110,084,044 (December 2007 – 44,018,373) common shares were issued and outstanding. Approximately 60% of the common shares are held by insiders, and the remaining shares are widely held. Further information on the Company’s outstanding share capital is provided in note 8 of these consolidated financial statements.
On October 20, 2008, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of Cdn$11,000,000 [US$9,214,700] [note 9].
At December 31, 2008, a total of 10,298,707 stock options were outstanding, 59,222 restricted share units, 16,538,800 warrants, 1,350,440 retention warrants and 1,947,177 SARs, which convertible securities cumulatively represented 27% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. Pursuant to guidelines set by the Company’s respective equity plans, stock option grants are limited to the greater of 12.5% of the issued and outstanding common shares outstanding and 4,000,000, restricted share unit grants have been fully granted, retention warrants are limited to 2,500,000 and SARs grants are limited to the greater of 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares and 4,150,000.

In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares and/or purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids.
To finance its activities, the Company has relied on revenue growth and issuance of common equity. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities primarily through public offerings of common shares.
The Company’s policy is to maintain a minimal level of debt. At this time the Company has not utilized debt facilities as part of its capital management program nor has it paid dividends to its shareholders.
The capital management objectives for the period ended December 31, 2008 remained the same as those of the previous fiscal period.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

CICA Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863 — Financial Instruments — Disclosures and Presentation
The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, interest receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related party, notes payable and obligations under capital lease.
The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
The fair value of assets and liabilities were as follows:
| | December 31, | | December 31, | |

Due to related parties | | 56,826 | | 2,093,907 | |
All fair values denoted above approximate their carrying values due to their short term nature and/or variable interest rates.
Risk management is primarily the responsibility of the Company’s corporate finance function. Significant risks are regularly monitored and actions are taken, when appropriate, according to the Company’s approved policies, established for that purpose. In addition, as required, these risks are reviewed with the Company’s Board of Directors.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency of the United States dollar. The majority of the Company’s revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars, whereas the majority of expenses are transacted in U.S. or Canadian dollars. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its invested cash and cash equivalents and its short-term investments. The interest rates on these instruments are based on the banks’ applicable prime rate and therefore are subject to change with the market. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its interest rate risk.

December 31, 2008
Credit Risk
The Company sells its services to a variety of customers under various payment terms and therefore is exposed to credit risk. The Company has adopted policies and procedures designed to limit this risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable. The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s primary source of revenues to date being subscription revenues, for which monies are received in advance principally through credit cards.
There is no significant credit risk related to the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Credit risk is managed through conducting financial and other assessments of these investments on an ongoing basis.
The following table sets out details of the age of accounts receivable that are outstanding and related allowance for doubtful accounts:
| | December 31, 2008 | |
| | $ | |
| | | |
Current | | 1,697,271 | |
31-60 days | | 287,070 | |
61-90 days | | 105,525 | |
Over 90 days | | 484,914 | |
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts | | (290,538 | ) |
Total accounts receivable, net | | 2,284,242 | |
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2008, the CICA issued new Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. The new standard addresses when an internally developed intangible asset meets the criteria for recognition as an asset. The section also issued amendments to Section 1000, Financial Statement Concepts. These changes are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted, and will be adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2009. The objectives of the changes are to reinforce a principle-based approach to the recognition of costs as assets and to clarify the application of the concept of matching revenues and expenses in Section 1000. Collectively, these changes bring Canadian practice closer to International Financial Reporting Standards [“IFRS”] by eliminating the practice of recognizing as assets a variety of startup, pre-production and similar costs that do not meet the definition and recognition criteria of an asset. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting these changes.
In 2006, Canada’s Accounting Standards Board ratified a strategic plan that will result in the adoption by Canadian public companies of IFRS. The Company may be required to report using the converged standards effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting these changes.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian and United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s common shares are listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange [“TSX”] and the Alternative Investment Market [“AIM”].
2. Principles of Consolidation and Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JumpTV, JumpTV Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, JumpTV International FZ LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates, JumpTV USA Inc. [“JumpTV Sports”], a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States, Sports International Group LLC [“SportsYA”], a wholly-owned subsidiary of JumpTV International FZ LLC in the United States, Deportes Ya S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SportsYA, Cycling TV, a wholly-owned subsidiary in England, and KIT Capital Ltda.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]
December 31, 2007
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions, impairment of identifiable intangible assets, the assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock options, retention warrants and warrants and the allowance for doubtful accounts. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure they appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future actual results, the Company’s financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenues are earned through subscriptions, pay-per views, advertising, web hosting, site setup fees, ticketing and donor management services. The Company considers revenues realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the product has been delivered or services have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and the collectibility is reasonably assured. The company’s different revenue streams are recognized as follows:
[a] Subscription Revenue
Subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period which generally ranges from 30 days to one year. The Company defers the appropriate portion of cash received for which services have not been rendered. Revenue is presented net of refunds. Pay-per-view revenues are deferred and recognized in the period when the content is viewed.
[b] Advertising Revenue
Advertising revenue is generated by selling advertising impressions and sponsorship deals. Advertising impressions include banner and pre-roll advertisements which are delivered through the Company’s website as well as through client or third-party sites delivering the Company’s content. Advertising is sold through various means including: the Company, third-party advertising agents, content partners and distribution partners. CPM (cost per thousand) advertising revenue is generated by displaying an “impression” of an advertisement to a website user. The CPM advertising revenue is calculated by tracking “impression counts” via a third-party advertising serving software. The third party software will provide the total number of impressions during a time period to the Company. The Company then applies the contracted

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007
impression rate to the number of impressions in order to calculate advertising revenue. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period in which the impressions are served.
[c] Annual Fees for Web Hosting
These fees are billed and deferred at the beginning of the service period and are amortized over the term of the arrangement.
[d] Ticketing, Donor and Guest Management Services
Ticketing and donor management services fees are based on a percentage of sales and typically have a minimum revenue guarantee to the Company along with a percentage of sales clause. As the contract year for the services progresses, the Company will monitor the actual sales of the client and will accrue revenue according to the percent of sales clause in the contracts. At the end of the contract year, the Company will issue an invoice to the client for the unbilled portion of the percent of sales clause.
[e] Merchandise and Auction Revenue
The Company offers services to clients that allow them to sell merchandise and conduct auctions from the websites. The Company receives a revenue share from all merchandise and auction sales. The Company records the revenue share as revenue in the period in which the sale or auction takes place.
[f] Text Messaging
The Company recognizes revenue from fees earned for the delivery of sports content such as scores, news and programming reminders through a text messaging service to cell phone users. This revenue is recorded when the text messages are billed by the cell phone providers to their users, net of provision for doubtful accounts.
Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments
The Company accounts for all stock options and warrants using a fair value-based method. The fair value of each stock option and warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period [note 15]. The fair value of stock options, retention warrants and warrants granted to employees is measured at the date of the grant. The fair value of the warrants granted to non-employees is measured as the warrants vest. The offsetting entry is an increase to contributed surplus for an amount equal to the stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options. Upon exercise, the proceeds of the options and warrants together with the fair value recorded in contributed surplus are reclassified to share capital.
Stock appreciation rights give the holder the right to elect to either receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the quoted market price over the stock appreciation right price or to receive common shares equal to the fair value of the common shares less the exercise price divided by the market value of the common shares from treasury or receive common shares by making a cash payment equal to the exercise price. The Board of Directors has discretionary authority to accept

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]
December 31, 2007
or reject a cash payment request in whole or in part. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated as the amount by which the quoted market price exceeds the option price with ongoing measurement of the outstanding liability. The liability is entitled accrued stock appreciation rights and is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. If the holder elects to purchase common shares, the liability is credited to contributed surplus.
Restricted share units give the holder the right to one common share for each vested restricted share plan unit. These awards vest on a monthly basis over the vesting period which is four years. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted share units is accrued based on the market value of the shares when the shares are issued, which generally coincides with the vesting period of these awards [note 14].
Variable interest entities
Accounting Guideline No. 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, provides guidance on the identification of, and financial reporting for, entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights; such entities are known as variable interest entities. The guideline requires variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entities and expands disclosure requirements for both variable interest entities that are consolidated as well as those of which an enterprise holds a significant variable interest.
The Company has a variable interest in KIT Capital Ltda. for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and has consolidated KIT Capital Ltda.’s financial results since its inception date [August 22, 2005] within the consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2007, the carrying value of the assets associated with KIT Capital Ltda. included in the consolidated balance sheets was $22,085 [as at December 31, 2006 - $14,035] and the carrying value of the liabilities was $3,518 [as at December 31, 2006 - $51,216]. For the year ended December 31, 2007, revenues associated with KIT Capital Ltda. included in the consolidated statements of operations were $88,132 [year ended December 31, 2006 - $67,162] and operating costs included within selling, general and administrative expenses were $150,456 [year ended December 31, 2006 - $67,924].
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term interest-bearing deposits with original maturities of approximately 90 days or less at the date of purchase.

December 31, 2007
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount. If a portion of the account balance is deemed uncollectible, the Company will either write off the amount owed or provide a reserve based on the uncollectible portion of the account. Management determines the collectibility of accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the declining balance method on a monthly-basis at the annual rates outlined below, which allocates the cost of the property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Computer equipment | | 30 | % |
Infrastructure equipment | | 30 | % |
Computer software | | 50 | % |
Furniture and fixtures | | 20 | % |
Website development costs | | 50 | % |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives and the lease term.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less amortization. Cost for intangible assets acquired through business combinations represents the fair market value at the date of acquisition. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets which are as follows:
Contractual agreements | | 3-8 years | |
Trademarks, tradenames and domain names | | 2-5 years | |
Non-competition agreements | | term of agreement | |
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates its property, plant and equipment and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amounts to the future estimated undiscounted cash flows

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007
expected to be derived from these assets. If these future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The Company has made no adjustments to its long-lived assets in any of the periods presented.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) and between annual tests if changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company’s impairment test was based on its single operating segment and reporting unit structure. There was no impairment in the year ended December 31, 2007.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, other receivables, deposits, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, due to related party, notes payable, obligations under capital lease and deferred revenue. They have been classified as one of the following: held-for-trading; available-for-sale, held-to-maturity; loans and receivables; or other financial assets and liabilities. Cash is classified as “held-for-trading” and is measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in net loss for the year. Short-term investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as the overall change in the net assets of an entity for a period, other than changes attributable to transactions with owners. Major components of comprehensive loss include unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as available-for-sale.

Foreign currency translation
Until March 31, 2005, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, for reporting purposes, the Company translated its Canadian dollar accounts into the United States [“U.S.”] reporting currency using the current rate method whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the consolidated balance sheet date exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the consolidated financial statements from their functional currency into U.S. dollars through March 31, 2005 are included within accumulated other comprehensive loss and have not been included in the determination of net loss for the relevant periods.
Beginning April 1, 2005, the Company’s functional currency was determined to be the U.S. dollar. This change resulted from several significant economic and operational changes within the Company, including an increase in U.S. dollar vendors, increased U.S. dollar revenues and the movement of certain operations to locations in the United States. The Company’s foreign operations are considered to be integrated with the reporting entity and therefore, transactions denominated in other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the dates they occur. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the consolidated balance sheet date exchange rate and any resulting gains or losses are recognized in the net loss for the relevant periods. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations were incurred.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of future tax assets that is more likely than not to remain unrealized. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when these assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.
Operating leases
The Company leases office space under operating lease agreements with original lease periods up to five years. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions. Rent holidays and rent escalation provisions are considered in determining straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the lease property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.

Capital leases
Leases entered into by the Company in which substantially all of the benefits and risk of ownership are transferred to the Company are recorded as capital leases and classified as property, plant and equipment and obligations under capital lease. Obligations under capital lease reflect the present value of future minimum lease payments, discounted at an appropriate rate, and are reduced by rental payments net of imputed interest. Assets under capital leases are depreciated based on the useful life of the asset. All other leases are classified as operating leases and leasing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

4. Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares consist of stock options, restricted share units, stock appreciation rights and warrants.
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had potential common shares which, due to the losses incurred, were considered anti-dilutive equity instruments. Accordingly, the effect of these instruments has not been reflected in computing diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
The following table summarizes the different potential common shares that were outstanding as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. See note 15 for additional details.

The Company has operating lease commitments for its premises in New York, United States, Toronto, Canada, Sanford, United States and London, England. In addition, the Company has operating leases for certain computer hardware and infrastructure equipment. Furthermore, the Company has marketing and content license fee commitments to channel partners.

| | 8,670,841 | | 6,569,155 | |
Contingencies
On June 12, 2006, an online media broadcaster filed a complaint in the Florida State court against XOS Technologies, Inc. and a co-defendant. The complaint alleges a claim for tortious interference with contractual relations against XOS Technologies, Inc.; a breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential information under Florida and New York laws, and a breach of fiduciary duty against the co-defendant; and conspiracy to misappropriate trade secrets and conspiracy to breach fiduciary duty against both defendants. On August 31, 2007, in conjunction with the acquisition of XOS Network Division, JumpTV assumed this claim. It is management’s opinion that the claim will not be successful, and accordingly the Company has not accrued for any amounts relating to this claim.
During the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and a party to claims, including claims that content broadcast by the Company may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the accounts where required. Although it is not possible to estimate the extent of potential costs and losses, if any, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

15. Stock Option and Stock-Based Compensation Plans
[i] Stock Option Plan
On September 2, 2005, a new stock option plan [the “New Plan”] was created that applies to all future grants of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any entity controlled by the Company. The exercise price for any option granted under the New Plan will be determined by the five-day average closing price of the Company’s common shares prior to the date of grant but cannot be less than such a price. Prior to the Company completing its initial public offering, the exercise price of any stock options granted under the New Plan was determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Options are exercisable during a period established at the time of their grant provided that such period will expire no later than five years after the date of grant, subject to early termination of the option in the event the holder of the option dies or ceases to be a director, officer or employee of the Company or ceases to provide ongoing management or consulting services to the Company or entity controlled by the Company. The maximum number of common shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the New Plan is equal to the greater of [i] 4,000,000 common shares; and [ii] 12.5% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares.
A summary of stock option activity under the Plan is as follows:

After August 9, 2006, stock-based compensation expense was determined based on the Company’s closing market price on the TSX which as at December 31, 2007 was $2.30 [Cdn$2.26] per common share. Accordingly, the Company recognized a stock-based compensation recovery of $1,087,760 and an expense of $1,087,760 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 related to outstanding units granted under the Company’s SARS Plan.

December 31, 2007
The Company has approximately Cdn$47,671,000 in Canadian non-capital tax losses available to be applied against future years’ income which expire as follows:
| | Canadian | |
| | $ | |
| | | |
2008 | | 230,000 | |
2009 | | 315,000 | |
2010 | | 198,000 | |
2011 | | — | |
2012 to 2027 | | 46,928,000 | |
| | 47,671,000 | |
Due to the losses incurred since inception and expected future operating results, in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3465, “Income Taxes”, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s future tax assets as it is more likely than not that the future tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carryforward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments.
18. Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties, accrued license fees, accrued professional fees, notes payable, obligations under capital lease, income taxes payable and deferred revenue.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount for which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short maturity term of these financial instruments. Notes payable and obligations under capital leases are measured at their fair value as determined based on the present value of cash flows.
Risks associated with financial instruments
[i] Currency risk
The Company’s activities which result in exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates consist of its customer billings being in U.S. dollars and the majority of expenses being paid in foreign currencies. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its currency risk.

21. Subsequent Events
[i] On February 14, 2008, the Company announced as part of its refined strategic focus to explore the sale of the JumpTV content delivery network to maximize the value of their assets while minimizing the related ongoing operational cost to JumpTV.
[ii] On October 20, 2008, the Company completed a merger with NeuLion, an end-to-end IPTV service provider of live and on-demand sports, international and religious programming over the Internet to a computer and/or through set top boxes [“STBs” or “STB”] to a television. Under the terms of the merger, JumpTV issued 49,577,427 common shares, 1,840,097 contingent shares, which represented approximately the entire issued and outstanding shares of JumpTV prior to closing, to the security holders of NeuLion, in exchange for their NeuLion securities. Pursuant to the merger, the Company issued 5,000,000 warrants exercisable for two years at US$0.63 and 2,700,000 employee stock options exercisable for five years at US$0.60 to employees of the Company.
On October 20, 2008, AvantaLion LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Charles B. Wang, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, purchased 10,000,000 units from JumpTV’s treasury at a price of CDN$1.00 per unit. Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of one (1) common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at CDN$1.25 and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at CDN$1.50. The warrants partially comprising the Units are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. G. Scott Paterson, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, also purchased 1,000,000 Units on the same terms. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Units were CDN$11 million [US$9,214,700].

[ii] Stock appreciation rights (“SARS”)
Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, the liability related to stock-based awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets must be measured at its fair value based on the fair value of stock option awards and is to be re-measured at the end of each reporting period. Under Canadian GAAP, the liability is measured and re-measured on the intrinsic values of the SARS awards instead of at their fair values.
[iii] Recent accounting developments
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This new standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This new standard is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2008. The Company has assessed the impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements and has concluded that there are no material impacts on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the new standard.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This statement permits entities the option to measure financial instruments at fair value, thereby achieving an offsetting effect for accounting purposes for certain changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply hedge accounting. This statement is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2008. The Company has assessed the impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements and has concluded that there are no material impacts on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the new standard.
The FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, effective for fiscal years beginning October 1, 2007. FIN 48 describes the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of this new section did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. The statement will require all business acquisitions to be measured at fair value; the existing definition of a business would be expanded; pre-acquisition contingencies would be measured at fair value; most acquisition-related costs would be recognized as expenses as incurred; as well as other changes. The statement is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Financial Statements”. The statement will improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing new accounting and reporting standards. This statement is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements

1. Nature of Operations
JumpTV Inc. [“JumpTV” or the “Company”], formerly JumpTV.com Inc., was incorporated in January 2000 under the laws of Canada. JumpTV’s primary business is providing online broadcasting of international ethnic television channels and sports content over the Internet.
JumpTV’s business is still in the early stages with only a few years of operating history. As at September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of $24,099,765. From JumpTV’s inception, it has incurred net losses and has an accumulated deficit of $144,063,559; management expects these losses to continue in the short term. JumpTV will require expenditures of significant funds for marketing, building its subscriber management systems, programming and website development, maintaining adequate video streaming and database software, pursuing and maintaining channel distribution agreements with its channel partners, fees relating to acquiring and maintaining Internet broadcasting rights to its content and the construction and maintenance of the JumpTV Delivery Infrastructure and office facilities. There is no guarantee that JumpTV will ultimately be able to generate sufficient revenue, reduce its costs in the anticipated time frame, to become profitable and have sustainable cash flows [note 18].
The Company’s revenues and expenses are seasonal, with the fourth quarter (ending December 31) being the quarter with the highest revenues and expenses. This is primarily reflective of the revenues and expenses generated and incurred from college sports in the United States. Therefore, one quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of the performance for the balance of the year.
On June 9, 2008, the Company announced that it signed a binding letter of intent to merge with NeuLion, an end-to-end IPTV service of live and on-demand sports, international and religious programming over the Internet and through set top boxes. The merger closed on October 20, 2008. Under the terms of the merger, JumpTV issued 49,577,427 common shares, 1,840,097 contingent shares, which represented approximately the entire issued and outstanding shares of JumpTV prior to closing, and 5,000,000 warrants exercisable for two years at US$0.63, to the securityholders of NeuLion, in exchange for their NeuLion securities. The Company also granted 2,700,000 employee stock options exercisable for five years at US$0.60 to employees of the Company. As at September 30, 2008, $1,233,945 in direct costs relating to this merger have been included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]
[Information as at September 30, 2008 and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 is unaudited]
On October 20, 2008, AvantaLion LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Charles Wang, the spouse of the Founder and CEO of NeuLion, purchased 10,000,000 units from JumpTV’s treasury at a price of Cdn$1.00 per unit. Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of one (1) common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at Cdn$1.25 and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at Cdn$1.50. The warrants partially comprising the Units are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of grant. G. Scott Paterson, Executive Vice-Chairman of the Company, also purchased 1,000,000 Units on the same terms. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Units were Cdn$11 million.
On October 20, 2008, in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 1581, Business Combinations, and EIC 10, Reverse Takeover Accounting, the Company determined that NeuLion is the acquirer and accordingly will account for this merger as a reverse take over.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The notes presented in these interim consolidated financial statements are not fully inclusive of all matters normally disclosed in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. As a result, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The consolidated financial statements of JumpTV have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles [“GAAP”]. The effects of differences between the application of Canadian and United States (“U.S.”) GAAP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company is described in note 19.
These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same policies and methods of application as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2007, except for the following:
CICA Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures
This section requires the Company to disclose its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. The adoption of this new standard resulted in additional disclosures with regard to the Company’s objectives, policies and process for managing capital which is discussed in note 17. This new standard had no impact on the classification and measurement of the transactions in the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
CICA Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863, Financial Instruments — Disclosures and Presentation
These sections enhance the disclosure and presentation required on the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the Company manages those risks. The adoption of these new standards resulted in additional disclosures with regard to the Company’s financial instruments which are discussed in note 15. These new standards had no impact on the

classification and measurement of the transactions in the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
3. Future Accounting Standards
The CICA has issued the following handbook sections, which applies commencing with the Company’s 2009 fiscal year:
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Financial Statement Concepts
In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064 Goodwill and Intangible Assets, replacing Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. The new section establishes standards on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The standard requires retroactive application to prior period financial statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards
In January 2006, the CICA Accounting Standards Board [“AcSB”] adopted a strategic plan for the direction of accounting standards in Canada. As part of that plan, accounting standards for public companies would be required to converge with International Financial Reporting Standards [“IFRS”] for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with comparative figures presented on the same basis. In February 2008, the CICA AcSB confirmed the effective date of the initial adoption of IFRS. The impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company’s consolidated financial statements has not yet been determined.
4. Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares consist of stock options, restricted share units, stock appreciation rights and warrants.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had potential common shares which, due to the losses incurred, were considered anti-dilutive equity instruments. Accordingly, the effect of these instruments has not been reflected in computing diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

CICA Handbook Section 3063, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, requires the Company to evaluate its long-lived asset for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amounts to the future estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from these assets. If these future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The Company determined that during the three months ended September 30, 2008 the business climate had changed such that the carrying value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment may not be fully recoverable. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $727,739 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. There were no such comparable amounts for the prior periods.
On February 14, 2008, the Company announced as part of its refined strategic focus to explore the sale of their content delivery network, after receiving approval from the Company’s Board of

Directors. In accordance with CICA Handbook, Section 3475, Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations, the Company reclassified its content delivery network assets from property, plant and equipment to assets held for sale as set forth below. These assets were intended to be sold within the next year and amortization was no longer being taken from February 14, 2008 to March 31, 2008. On June 9, 2008, the Company announced as part of its merger with NeuLion, that it would retain these assets to leverage in the combined Company. In accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3475, the Company reclassified these assets from assets held for sale to property, plant and equipment. The assets were recorded at their carrying amounts before they were classified as assets held for sale, adjusted for amortization expense by $74,894 in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 that would have been recognized had they been continuously classified as held and used.

The Company’s intangible assets are subject to the provisions of CICA 3063 (see note 7, Property, Plant and Equipment). During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company determined, that the business climate had changed such that the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets may not be fully recoverable. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $4,043,512 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. There were no such comparable amounts for the prior periods. No other impairment related to the remaining intangible assets was evidenced.
Additionally, the Company determined during the three months ended March 31, 2008 that the carrying value of intangible assets relating to HV Media, Limited, exceed their fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $173,786 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which is included in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. There were no such comparable amounts for the prior periods. No other impairment related to the remaining intangible assets was evidenced.
Amortization expense related to the Company’s acquired contractual agreements with content partners for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $599,068 and $1,834,023 [three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 — $540,642 and $573,167] is included within direct broadcast operating costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

9. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit (which is the Company as a whole) to the underlying carrying value of the Company’s net assets, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the Company exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test at the Company level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) and between annual tests if changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s impairment test was based on its single operating segment and reporting unit structure.
The Company determined during the three months ended March 31, 2008 that the Company’s market capitalization decreased below the carrying value of the Company. Management considered this to be an indicator of impairment and, accordingly, as at March 31, 2008, performed a goodwill impairment test and determined that the Company failed step one. As a result of performing step two of the impairment analysis, management determined that the fair value of the Company, including unidentifiable assets, did not support the carrying amount of goodwill; accordingly the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge $47,882,317 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, which is included in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. There were no such comparable amounts for the prior periods.

On June 26, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved an Employee Share Purchase Plan [“ESPP”], whereby certain employees of the Company will be provided with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The shares will be purchased from treasury and the purchase price will be the 10-day volume weighted average price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange less a 15% discount. The Company has not implemented this plan since its approval by shareholders and no shares have been issued under this Plan.
On October 20, 2008, AvantaLion LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Wang, the spouse of the Founder and CEO of NeuLion, purchased 10,000,000 Units from JumpTV’s treasury at a price of Cdn$1.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one (1) common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at Cdn$1.25 and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at Cdn$1.50. The warrants partially comprising the Units will be exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. G.

All fair values denoted above approximate their carrying values due to their short term nature and/or variable interest rates.
Risk management is primarily the responsibility of the Company’s corporate finance function. Significant risks are regularly monitored and actions are taken, when appropriate, according to the Company’s approved policies, established for that purpose. In addition, as required, these risks are reviewed with the Company’s Board of Directors.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency of the United States dollar. The majority of the Company’s revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars, whereas the majority of expenses are transacted in U.S. or Canadian dollars. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its invested cash and cash equivalents and its short-term investments. The interest rates on these instruments are based on the banks’ applicable prime rate and therefore are subject to change with the market. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its interest rate risk.
Credit Risk
The Company sells its services to a variety of customers under various payment terms and therefore is exposed to credit risks. The Company has adopted policies and procedures designed to limit these risks. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable. The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s primary source of revenues to date being subscription revenues, for which monies are received in advance principally through credit cards.
There is no significant credit risk related to the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Credit risk is managed through conducting financial and other assessments of these investments on an ongoing basis.

[i] Consolidated statement of cash flows
The disclosure of a subtotal of the amount of cash used by operating activities before changes in non cash balances related to operating assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flow is allowed under Canadian GAAP while it is not allowed under U.S. GAAP
[ii] Stock appreciation rights (“SARS”)
Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, the liability related to stock-based awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets must be measured at its fair value based on the fair value of stock option awards and is to be re-measured at the end of each reporting period. Under Canadian GAAP, the liability is measured and re-measured on the intrinsic values of the SARS awards instead of at their fair values.
[iii] Recent accounting developments
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This new standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This new standard is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2008. The Company has assessed the impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements and has concluded that there are no material impacts on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the new standard.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This statement permits entities the option to measure financial instruments at fair value, thereby achieving an offsetting effect for accounting purposes for certain changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply hedge accounting. This statement is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2008. The Company has assessed the impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements and has concluded that there are no material impacts on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the new standard.

The FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, effective for fiscal years beginning October 1, 2007. FIN 48 describes the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of this new section did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. The statement will require all business acquisitions to be measured at fair value; the existing definition of a business would be expanded; pre-acquisition contingencies would be measured at fair value; most acquisition-related costs would be recognized as expenses as incurred; as well as other changes. The statement is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Financial Statements”. The statement will improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing new accounting and reporting standards. The statement is effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

1. Description of Transaction
On October 20, 2008, the Company completed the Merger with NeuLion, an end-to-end IPTV service provider of live and on-demand sports, international and religious programming over the Internet to a computer and/or through a set top box (“STB”) to a television. Under the terms of the Merger, JumpTV issued 49,577,427 common shares directly, as well as 1,840,097 common shares subject to a performance escrow relating to a prior acquisition, which represented approximately the entire issued and outstanding common shares of JumpTV prior to closing, to the securityholders of NeuLion in exchange for their NeuLion securities. The common shares of JumpTV are referred to herein as “Shares,” or each individually as a “Share.” Pursuant to the Merger, the Company also issued 5,000,000 warrants, fully vested and exercisable for two years at US$0.63, and 2,700,000 employee stock options, vesting in equal monthly amounts over 48 months and exercisable for five years at US$0.60, to employees of NeuLion who became employees of the Company.
On October 20, 2008, AvantaLion LLC, an entity controlled by Charles B. Wang, our Chairman and the spouse of Nancy Li, our CEO and the founder and CEO of NeuLion, purchased 10,000,000 units from JumpTV’s treasury at a price of CDN$1.00 per unit. Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of one Share, one-half of one Share purchase warrant exercisable at CDN$1.25 and one-half of one Share purchase warrant exercisable at CDN$1.50. The warrants partially comprising the Units are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. G. Scott Paterson, Vice Chairman, also purchased 1,000,000 Units on the same terms. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Units (the “Private Placement”) were CDN$11.0 million or US$9.2 million
In accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations, the Company has determined that NeuLion was the accounting acquirer and accordingly has accounted for the Merger as a reverse takeover. Therefore, the financial statements and this MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion, the accounting acquirer, and only include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of JumpTV, the legal acquirer, subsequent to the reverse takeover on October 20, 2008 (the “Acquired Business”). This MD&A is issued under the name of the legal acquirer (JumpTV), but is deemed to be a continuation of the accounting acquirer (NeuLion).
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations give effect to the merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2008.
Upon closing of the merger, the Company determined that NeuLion is the acquirer and accordingly has accounted for this merger as a reverse take over (“RTO”).
RTO accounting requires that assets and liabilities of the acquired entity be recorded at fair value as of the date of the merger. Historical costs bases of assets and liabilities of the acquired entity (the accounting acquirer) are maintained in the consolidated financial statements of the merged entity and the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity (the legal acquirer) are accounted for under the purchase method. Results of operations of the acquired entity (the legal acquirer) are included in the financial statements of the combined company only from the date of acquisition.
The Pro Forma Statements have been prepared and should be read in conjunction with the following information:
(i) Audited consolidated financial statements of JumpTV, Inc. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008;
(ii) Unaudited consolidated financial statements of JumpTV, Inc. for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008;
(iii) Such other supplementary information as was considered necessary to reflect the Acquisition in the Pro Forma Statements.

The Pro Forma Statements do not include any anticipated financial benefits from such items as cost savings arising from the Acquisition. The Pro Forma Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the financial position that would have resulted had the Acquisition been effected on the dates indicated, or the results that may be obtained in the future.
In the preparation of the Pro Forma Statements, the purchase price allocation of the tangible and intangible assets is preliminary and may be adjusted as a result of obtaining additional information regarding preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase.
3. Accounting for the Acquisition
The purchase price of $33,558,784 represents the fair value of 49,577,427 of common shares issued of $31,990,711, the fair value of vested equity instruments in the amount of $515,364 and $1,052,709 in direct transaction costs. In addition to the transaction costs there were $968,553 of share issuance costs required under the merger agreement.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The Company is obtaining third party valuations of certain intangible assets and evaluating certain liabilities and assets, thus the allocations of the purchase price are preliminary.

Of the $6,000,000 of acquired intangible assets, $100,000 was assigned to the JumpTV brand, and $5,900,000 was assigned to customer relationships.
The purchase price of NeuLion contains contingent purchase price consideration of 1,840,097 common shares. The number of shares will be based on a 24 month revenue milestone for Cycling TV ending on July 31, 2009. The contingent consideration will be accounted for as an addition to the purchase price consideration when the shares are issued or become issuable. As at December 31, 2008, the Company does not believe Cycling TV will achieve the revenue milestone.
As noted above, the purchase price allocation of the tangible and intangible assets are preliminary and may be adjusted as a result of obtaining additional information regarding preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase.

4. Pro forma Statement of Operations Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ending December 31, 2008 incorporates the following adjustments:
(i) Reclassification of $3,048,242 in depreciation and amortization from Cost of Services Revenue to Depreciation and Amortization for the year ended December 31, 2008, to conform with the current year’s financial statement presentation.
(ii) Reversal of $3,836,561 in depreciation and amortization relating to the Acquired Business for the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of the revised fair value of tangible and intangible assets required on acquisition.
(iii) Recording of $2,120,370 in depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of the revised fair value of tangible and intangible assets required on acquisition.
5. Material Non-Recurring Items Included in the Pro forma Statement of Operations
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ending December 31, 2008, includes the following expenses:
(i) These amounts represent stock-based compensation for the Company’s stock options, restricted share units, stock appreciation rights, warrants and retention warrants. The Company was required to fair value these equity instruments on the acquisition date. As a result, the compensation expense going forward relating to these equity instruments is nominal.
(ii) Management determined that the fair value of the Company, including unidentifiable intangible assets, did not support the carrying amount of goodwill, accordingly the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the Acquired business of $47,882,317.
(iii) Management determined that the business climate had changed such that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets may not be fully recoverable. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $4,945,037 during 2008 in the Acquired Business.
(iv) In addition to the non-cash impairment charges described above, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1,036,993 at December 31, 2008.
6. Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares consist of stock options, restricted share units, stock appreciation rights and warrants. None of the Company’s convertible instruments are dilutive.
EPS for periods prior to the business combination are restated. The retroactive restatement is based on the same number of weighted-average shares outstanding that the accounting acquirer used in each historic period. The denominator of the historical, restated EPS calculation has been adjusted by multiplying the weighted-average shares used in each historically reported EPS calculation by the agreed-upon exchange ratio.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]
Information as at March 31, 2009 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited
1. Nature of Operations
These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and as at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion Inc. [“NeuLion”], the legal subsidiary, prior to the reverse takeover and the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of JumpTV and NeuLion subsequent to the reverse takeover. These consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal acquirer (JumpTV or the Acquired Business), but are deemed to be a continuation of the accounting acquirer (NeuLion).
JumpTV’s [the “Company”] primary business is working with content partners to develop end-to-end solutions for multimedia IPTV services.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s accounting polices are consistent with those presented in our annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2008, except for EITF No. 07-5 described below. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles [“GAAP”] for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, in the 2008 annual financial statements.
The preparation of these financial statements is in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the disclosures made in the accompanying notes. Despite the Company’s intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Note 12 reconciles the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements from U.S. GAAP to Canadian GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated on consolidation.
In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly The Company’s financial position as at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which replaces FAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” (FAS 141). FAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and requires the acquirer to disclose certain information related to the nature and financial effect of the business combination. FAS 141(R) also establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired in a business combination. FAS 141(R) was effective on a prospective basis for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. For any business combination that takes place subsequent to January 1, 2009, FAS 141(R) may have a material impact on our financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”. One of the conclusions reached under EITF 07-05 was that an equity-linked financial instrument would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock if the strike price is denominated in a currency other than the issuer’s functional currency. The conclusion reached under EITF 07-05 clarified the accounting treatment for these and certain other financial instruments as it related to FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). EITF 07-5 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a

derivative under SFAS 133, would not be treated as a derivative if it met the following conditions: (a) indexed to its own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.
As a result, the Company’s outstanding Warrants denominated in Canadian dollars detailed below are not considered to be indexed to its own stock because the exercise price is denominated in Canadian dollars and our functional currency is United States dollars and therefore have been treated as derivative financial instruments and recorded at their fair value as a liability. All other outstanding convertible instruments meet this definition and are included in shareholders’ equity.
· 5,500,000 Series A Warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.25 and expire on October 20, 2010.
· 5,500,000 Series B Warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.50 and expire on October 20, 2010.
The Warrants have been recorded at their relative fair values at issuance and will continue to be recorded at fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded as other income (expense). The Warrants will continue to be reported as a liability until such time as they are exercised or expire. The fair value of the Warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. On January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of the Warrants of $2,464,000 was reallocated from additional paid in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $587,950 being the fair value of the warrants on January 1, 2009 with the an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit of $1,876,050. As of March 31, 2009, the fair value of the Warrants was determined to be $1,064,800; accordingly, the Company recorded $476,850 in other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the change in the fair value of the Warrants.
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“FASB No. 154”), the Company has recorded the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on January 1, 2009 of $1,876,050 to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as detailed above.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” or FAS 161 which required enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and was intended to improve the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments and related hedging items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of this standard do not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. SFAS No. 161 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2009. The required disclosures are included in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $180,344 and $41,502 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Comparative Information
The Company has reclassified certain prior period information to conform with the current period’s presentation.

[iii] The Company determined that the business climate had changed such that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets may not be fully recoverable. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $173,786.

Investment in affiliate — KyLinTV
The Company records its investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.
From January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009, the Company’s equity interest in the affiliate was 17.1%. As previously discussed, the Company also provides KyLinTV with administrative and general corporate support. Management has determined that as a result of the 17.1% equity interest combined with the services that NeuLion provides KyLinTV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV, therefore the Company continues to account for KyLinTV using the equity method of accounting for investment.
The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment has been reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008. No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

6. Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had potential common shares which, due to the losses incurred, were considered anti-dilutive equity instruments. Accordingly, the effect of stock options for each of the periods has not been reflected in computing diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
The following table summarizes the potential common shares that were outstanding as at March 31, 2009 and 2008 but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

7. Contingencies
During the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and a party to claims. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the accounts where required. Although the extent of potential costs and losses, if any is uncertain, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
8. Stock Option and Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The following table shows the breakdown total stock-based compensation expense included in the interim consolidated statement of operations:

On March 31, 2009, the Company granted 100,000 stock options to an employee of the Company with an exercise price of $0.35 that vested immediately and expire on June 29, 2009.
9. Segmented Information
The Company operates as one reportable segment — to provide full end-to-end enterprise-level IPTV and other professional services. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and long-lived assets are in the United States.
10. Income Taxes
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty recognized in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our consolidated financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows. There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $28.0 million. There has been no significant change in unrecognized tax benefits through March 31, 2009. Due to the existence of valuation allowances, future changes in our unrecognized tax benefits will not impact our effective tax rate. The Company does not expect their unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.
11. Derivative Instruments
The Company’s only derivative instruments are 11,000,000 Warrants which are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.
· 5,500,000 Series A Warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.25 and expire on October 20, 2010.
· 5,500,000 Series B Warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.50 and expire on October 20, 2010.

Information as at March 31, 2009 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited
The Warrants have been recorded at their relative fair values at issuance and will continue to be recorded at fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded as other income (expense). The Warrants will continue to be reported as a liability until such time as they are exercised or expire. The fair value of the Warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.
As of January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of the Warrants in the amount of $2,464,000 was reallocated from additional paid in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $587,950 being the fair value of the warrants on January 1, 2009 offset by an adjustment to accumulated deficit of $1,876,050.
As of March 31, 2009, the fair value of the Warrants was determined to be $1,064,800; accordingly, the Company recorded $476,850 in other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the change in the fair value of the Warrants. There is no cash flow impact for these derivates until the Warrants are exercised. If the Warrants are exercised, the Company will receive the proceeds from the exercise at the current exchange rate at the time of exercise.
12. Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Canadian GAAP
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with United States GAAP. The following adjustments and disclosures would be required in order to present these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP:

Areas of material difference between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and their impact on the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
[i] Stock Appreciation Rights [“SARS”]
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted, on a modified prospective basis, CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock Based Payments, for new awards granted on or after this date under the Company’s stock appreciation rights plan.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recognizes a liability and compensation expense for the fair value of the SARS on each reporting date.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company recognizes a liability and compensation expense for the “in the money” value of the SARS on each reporting date.
[ii] Derivative Liability
CICA Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments — Disclosure and Presentation, establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them. The revisions change the accounting for certain financial instruments that have liability and equity characteristics.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recognizes a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets for the fair value of all convertible instruments with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. The Company fair values this liability on each reporting date with the corresponding entry to unrealized gain (loss) on derivative on the consolidated statement of operations.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company fair values these convertible instruments on the grant date and includes them within additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not recognize any changes in fair value.
[iii] In addition, recent Canadian GAAP accounting pronouncements that may impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations and disclosure requirements are as follows:

| | 30,853,708 | | 37,013,578 | |
(the figures in the table above are in accordance with U.S. GAAP)
The Company’s outstanding share capital is comprised of common shares. At March 31, 2009, an unlimited number of common shares were authorized and 110,100,289 (December 2008 - - 110,084,044) common shares were issued and outstanding. Approximately 60% of the common shares are held by insiders, and the remaining shares are widely held. Further information on the Company’s outstanding share capital is provided in note 8 of these consolidated financial statements.
At March 31, 2009, a total of 8,952,995 stock options were outstanding, 42,977 restricted share units, 16,197,500 warrants, 1,088,531 retention warrants and 1,843,741 SARs, which convertible securities cumulatively represented 27% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. Pursuant to guidelines set by the Company’s respective equity plans, stock option grants are limited to the greater of 12.5% of the issued and outstanding common shares outstanding and 4,000,000, restricted share unit grants have been fully granted, retention warrants are limited to 2,500,000 and SARs grants are limited to the greater of 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares and 4,150,000. The Company is in compliance with these guidelines.
The Company’s objective in managing capital is to ensure a sufficient liquidity position to finance its revenue growth, general and administrative expenses, working capital and capital expenditures.
In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares and/or purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids.
To finance its activities, the Company has relied on revenue growth and capital contributions.
The Company’s policy is to maintain a minimal level of debt. At this time the Company has not utilized debt facilities as part of its capital management program nor has it paid dividends to its shareholders.
The capital management objectives for the period ended March 31, 2009 remained the same as those of the previous fiscal period.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
CICA Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863 — Financial Instruments — Disclosures and Presentation
The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, interest receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related party, notes payable and obligations under capital lease.

All fair values denoted above approximate their carrying values due to their short term nature and/or variable interest rates.
Risk management is primarily the responsibility of the Company’s corporate finance function. Significant risks are regularly monitored and actions are taken, when appropriate, according to the Company’s approved policies, established for that purpose. In addition, as required, these risks are reviewed with the Company’s Board of Directors.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency of the United States dollar. The majority of the Company’s revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars, whereas the majority of expenses are transacted in U.S. or Canadian dollars. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its invested cash and cash equivalents and its short-term investments. The interest rates on these instruments are based on the banks’ applicable prime rate and therefore are subject to change with the market. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its interest rate risk.
Credit Risk
The Company sells its services to a variety of customers under various payment terms and therefore is exposed to credit risk. The Company has adopted policies and procedures designed to limit this risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable. The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s primary source of revenues to date being subscription revenues, for which monies are received in advance principally through credit cards.

There is no significant credit risk related to the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Credit risk is managed through conducting financial and other assessments of these investments on an ongoing basis.
The following table sets out details of the age of accounts receivable that are outstanding and related allowance for doubtful accounts:

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts | | (266,758 | ) | (290,538 | ) |
Total accounts receivable, net | | 1,851,373 | | 2,284,242 | |
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2008, the CICA issued new Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. The new standard addresses when an internally developed intangible asset meets the criteria for recognition as an asset. The section also issued amendments to Section 1000, Financial Statement Concepts. These changes are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted, and have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2009. The objectives of the changes are to reinforce a principle-based approach to the recognition of costs as assets and to clarify the application of the concept of matching revenues and expenses in Section 1000. Collectively, these changes bring Canadian practice closer to International Financial Reporting Standards [“IFRS”] by eliminating the practice of recognizing as assets a variety of start-up, pre-production and similar costs that do not meet the definition and recognition criteria of an asset. There was no material effect on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting CICA Handbook Section 3064.
In February 2008, the CICA Accounting Standards Board confirmed that the changeover to IFRS from Canadian GAAP will be required for publicly accountable enterprises, effective for the interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. As the Company is in the process of filing a registration statement to become an SEC issuer, the Company expects to continue to use US GAAP until the implementation date in the United States — currently estimated as no sooner than 2014.
