prior year expenses were allocated; and c) an increase in costs associated with the hiring of a Chief Information Officer in February 2007.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities year-over-year for the quarter is primarily related to:
• a $1.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense which is related to a decline in film amortization incurred by our Film Production segment; and
• a $0.9 million increase in content licensing and content creation costs incurred by our Pay TV and Film Production segments.
The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily related to a $5.1 million decrease in net purchases of available-for-sale securities due to lower investable cash balances. Capital expenditures of $0.5 million for the current year quarter relate primarily to purchases of servers, editing equipment, computers, and the build out of our new studio space in Hollywood, California. Capital expenditures of $0.3 million for the prior year quarter relate primarily to the purchase of editing equipment, computers and software.
The decrease in the related party note payable for both quarters relates to payments made in accordance with the acquisition agreement to the former principals of MRG Entertainment, Inc. from whom we acquired the Film Production segment.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES:
Our cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities are as follows (in millions):
| | | Quarter Ended June 30,
|
| | | 2007
| | 2006
|
| Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities: | | | | | | | | |
| Payment of dividend | | $ | (3.0 | ) | | $ | — | |
| Proceeds from stock option exercises | | | 0.2 | | | | 0.5 | |
| Excess tax benefit from stock option exercise | | | 0.0 | | | | 0.3 | |
| | | |
| | | |
| |
| Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | | $ | (2.8 | ) | | $ | 0.8 | |
| | | |
| | | |
| |
Net cash used in financing activities for the current year quarter relates primarily to the $3.0 million payment of our quarterly cash dividend. This use of cash was slightly offset by $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the quarter.
Tax benefits decreased to $0 from $0.3 million in the prior year quarter and relate to the tax deductions that we receive upon exercise of an option by an employee or non-employee director in excess of those anticipated at the time of the option grant.
If we were to lose our four major customers that accounted for 18%, 17%, 14% and 12% of our revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our ability to finance our future operating requirements would be severely impaired.
In December 2005, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan to purchase up to 2.0 million shares of our stock over 30 months. To date, we have repurchased 250,000 shares. At our current stock price, it would require approximately $15.1 million over the next 12 months to complete this stock repurchase plan.
We expect to pay a recurring quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock. Based on the number of shares currently outstanding, this will require an annual use of cash of approximately $12.4 million.
As of July 1, 2007, we have a $7.5 million line of credit available. The interest rate applied to the line of credit is variable based upon the current prime rate less 0.130 percentage points. The balance on the line of credit is currently $0. The line of credit, if utilized, would be secured by our trade accounts receivables and requires that we comply with certain financial covenants and ratios. The line of credit expires after twelve months.
As part of the MRG Entertainment, Inc. acquisition we entered into an earnout agreement, which would require a $2.0 million payment over three calendar years if certain EBITDA targets are met. The 2006 calendar year earnout target was achieved and the amount due to the principals was paid in May 2007.
At June 30, 2007, we have a $1.9 million liability recorded for an unrecognized tax benefit. We cannot reasonably estimate when or if this liability will be paid.
We believe that our current cash balances and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements, and we believe that any capital expenditures, content licensing or film production costs that may be incurred can be financed through our cash flows from operations.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We entered into a two-year agreement with the largest DBS platform in the U.S. for the distribution of two of our services beginning April 2006. This agreement requires us to meet certain performance targets. If we are unsuccessful in meeting these performance targets we would have to make up the shortfall in an amount not to exceed our total license fee earned. We exceeded the performance targets for the first year of the contract as of April 2007. As of June 30, 2007 we believe that we will meet or exceed the agreed upon performance targets for the second year of the agreement.

At June 30, 2007, we have a $1.9 million liability recorded for an unrecognized tax benefit. We can not reasonably estimate when or if this liability will be paid.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its results of operations and financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on its results of operations and financial position.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk. The Company’s exposure to market risk is principally confined to cash in the bank, money market accounts, and notes payable, which have short maturities and, therefore, minimal and immaterial market risk.
Interest Rate Sensitivity. As of August 1, 2007, the Company had cash in checking and money market accounts, certificates of deposits, and fixed income debt securities. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these assets.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. The Company does not have any material foreign currency transactions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our first fiscal quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
