Nature of Operations |
Through June 2014, Xhibit, through its subsidiaries other than the SkyMall Companies, operated an online lead generation and advertising business providing targeted and measurable online advertising campaigns and programs for a broad base of advertisers and advertising agency customers. This business enabled marketers to advertise and sell their products and services through affiliate marketing networks. |
|
SkyMall operates a retail business as a multi-channel, direct marketer offering a wide array of merchandise from numerous direct marketers and manufacturers through the SkyMall catalog and website, SkyMall.com. SkyMall is best known as the exclusive provider of an in-flight shopping catalog carried on aircraft of large, U.S.-based airlines. SkyMall features over 25,000 products online with a subset of those being displayed in the in-flight catalog. Products are sourced directly from manufacturers, through distributors, or through other product aggregators that want to reach SkyMall’s large audience. |
|
Between June 2013 and June 2014, the Company terminated or suspended all of the legacy Xhibit business operations and on September 9, 2014 the Company sold SkyMall Ventures, its loyalty business unit (Note 16). Since September 9, 2014, all of our revenue has come from the SkyMall commerce business, which generated revenue of $15,806,808 for the nine month period ended September 28, 2014 and $32,808,115 in 2013 on a full year basis. |
|
Until September 9, 2014, SkyMall operated a loyalty business as a provider of merchandise, gift cards and experiential rewards reaching millions of loyalty program members in various corporate and other loyalty programs throughout the United States. SkyMall’s loyalty business, operated through SkyMall Ventures, provided turnkey strategy, creative and fulfillment solutions for customer programs operated by internationally-recognized brands. During 2014 to date, most of the Company's consolidated revenues were generated by the SkyMall Companies. |
|
On September 9, 2014, SkyMall LLC sold 100% of the outstanding membership interests of SkyMall Ventures to Connexions Loyalty, Inc. (“Connexions”) pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of the same date (the “MIPA”), for a cash purchase price of $24,000,000,of which $1,800,000 was placed into escrow to fund potential indemnity claims (the “SkyMall Ventures Sale”). SkyMall LLC is also entitled to receive a future payment of up to $3,900,000 in cash based upon a formula related to the operating profit of SkyMall Ventures during the 12 months following the closing. |
|
In connection with the sale, SkyMall LLC also entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Connexions, pursuant to which SkyMall LLC agreed to provide a broad range of services to SkyMall Ventures in support of its operations, including gift card fulfillment, contact center support, telecommunications, information technology, marketing and catalog creation, facilities and accounting and finance. The term of the Transition Services Agreement is 18 months but it may be terminated earlier at Connexions’ option. Under the agreement, Connexions pays a fee equal to SkyMall LLC's cost of providing the services, which is initially approximately $350,000 per month. |

Going Concern and Management’s Plans |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss from operations for the nine month period ended September 28, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 of $25,216,668 and $172,201,965, respectively. Additionally, the Company has a working capital deficit of $8,106,321 at September 28, 2014. As a result of these factors, a risk exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. |
|
A multi-step plan was adopted by management to enable the Company to continue to operate and begin to generate operating profits. The highlights of that plan are: |
|
| · | Sale of SkyMall’s loyalty business unit in September 2014 (Note 16), |
| · | repayment and retirement of the Company’s related party revolving credit facility in September 2014 (Note 9), |
| · | sale and/or monetization of other assets or business units, |
| · | elimination of unprofitable business units and product offerings, |
| · | seeking new and additional sales opportunities, |
| · | improving product gross margins through product sourcing efficiencies, and |
| · | finding new funding sources. |
