Item 1.

Business.

Corporate Overview

‘mktg, inc.’, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Inmark Services LLC, Optimum Group LLC, U.S. Concepts LLC, Digital Intelligence Group LLC, mktg retail LLC and Mktg, inc. UK Ltd., is a full service marketing agency. We develop, manage and execute sales promotion programs at both national and local levels, utilizing both online and offline media channels. Our programs help our clients effectively promote their goods and services directly to retailers and consumers and are intended to assist them in achieving maximum impact and return on their marketing investment. Our activities reinforce brand awareness, provide incentives to retailers to order and display our clients’ products, and motivate consumers to purchase those products, and are designed to meet the needs of our clients by focusing on communities of consumers who want to engage brands as part of their lifestyles.

Our services include experiential and face-to-face marketing, event marketing, interactive marketing, ethnic marketing, and all elements of consumer and trade promotion, and are marketed directly to our clients by our sales force operating out of offices located in New York, New York; Cincinnati, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; San Francisco, California; and London, England.

‘mktg, inc.’ was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in March 1992 and is the successor to a sales promotion business originally founded in 1972. ‘mktg, inc.’ began to engage in the promotion business following a merger consummated on September 29, 1995 that resulted in Inmark becoming its wholly-owned subsidiary.

Our corporate headquarters are located at 75 Ninth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, and our telephone number is 212-366-3400. Our Web site is www.mktg.com. Copies of all reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available on our Web site.

Premier Client Roster

Our principal clients are large manufacturers of packaged goods and other consumer products. Our client partners are actively engaged in promoting their products to both the consumer as well as trade partners, (i.e., retailers, distributors, etc.), and include, among others, Diageo North America, Inc. and its affiliates (“Diageo”), Nike, Inc., Nintendo of America, Inc., Google, Inc., Procter & Gamble, Beats Electronics LLC and Bayer HealthCare AG.

For our fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Diageo accounted for approximately 62% of our revenues (inclusive of reimbursable program costs and expenses) and 55% and 61%, respectively, of our accounts receivable.

To the extent that we continue to have a heavily weighted sales concentration with one or more clients, the loss of any such client would have a material adverse effect on our earnings. Unlike traditional general advertising firms which are engaged as agents of record on behalf of their clients, as a promotional company, we are typically engaged on a product-by-product, or project-by-project basis.

Competition

The market for promotional services is highly competitive, with hundreds of companies claiming to provide various services in the promotions industry. In general, our competition is derived from two basic groups: other full service promotion agencies, and companies which specialize in providing one specific aspect of a general promotional program. Some of our competitors are affiliated with larger general advertising agencies, and have greater financial and marketing resources available than we do. These competitors include Wunderman and OgilvyAction, which are subsidiaries of WPP Group; Arnold Brand Promotions, which is a subsidiary of Havas; Momentum Worldwide and Jack Morton Worldwide, which are subsidiaries of IPG; GMR Marketing and Pierce, which are subsidiaries of Omnicom Group; and Hyper Marketing, which is a subsidiary of Alliance Data Systems. Niche independent competitors include Marketing Werks and Amp Agency.

Employees

We currently have approximately 300 full-time and 6,500 part-time employees. Our part-time employees are primarily involved in marketing support, program management and in-store sampling and demonstration, and are employed on an as needed basis. None of our employees are represented by a labor organization and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Concentration of Customers. A substantial portion of our sales has been dependent on one client or a limited concentration of clients. In particular, Diageo accounted for approximately 62% of our revenues for each of our fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and accounted for 55% of our accounts receivable at March 31, 2013. In addition, our second largest customer accounted for approximately 15% and 11% of our revenues for each of our fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and accounted for 17% of our accounts receivable at March 31, 2013. To the extent such dependency continues, significant fluctuations in revenues, results of operations and liquidity could arise if Diageo or any other significant client reduces its budget allocated to the services we provide.

Dependence on Key Personnel. Our business is managed by a limited number of key management and operating personnel. The loss of any one of those persons could have a material adverse impact on our business. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel.

Series D Preferred Stock Liquidation Preference; Redemption. In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or change of control, the holders of our Series D Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) will receive, in priority over the holders of Common Stock, a liquidation preference equal to the Stated Value of such shares plus the greater of (a) a 14% accreting liquidation preference, compounding annually, or (b) 3% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (excluding the shares issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) for the 20 days preceding the event. A consolidation or merger, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and a sale of 50% or more of our Common Stock would be treated as a change of control for this purpose. Therefore, it is possible that holders of Common Stock will not obtain any proceeds upon any such event. After December 15, 2015, holders of the Series D Preferred Stock can require us to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock at its stated value plus any accretion thereon in the event such shares have not been converted to Common Stock at the same price per share payable upon a liquidation event.

Control by Union Capital Corporation and holders of Series D Preferred Stock. Union Capital currently beneficially owns approximately 35% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion and exercise of all securities issued in the December 2009 financing), including approximately 85% of our Series D Preferred Stock. The holders of our Series D Preferred Stock have the right to appoint two members of our Board of Directors. In addition, the vote of a majority of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock is required to approve, among other things, (i) any issuance by us of capital stock which is senior to or pari passu with the Series D Preferred Stock; (ii) any increase in the number of authorized shares of the Series D Preferred Stock; (iii) any dividends or payments on equity securities; (iv) any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other governing documents that would result in an adverse change to the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock; (v) any material deviation from the annual budget approved by our Board of Directors; and (vi) entering into any material contract not contemplated by the annual budget approved by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, Union Capital has substantial control over our business and can decide the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and can also prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Union Capital may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. Third parties may be discouraged from making a tender offer or bid to acquire us because of this concentration of ownership.

Anti-Dilution Provisions Of The Series D Preferred Stock Could Result In Dilution Of Stockholders. The conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock is subject to weighted-average anti-dilution, so that upon future issuances of our Common Stock or equivalents thereof, subject to specified exceptions, at a price below the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock, the conversion price will be reduced, further diluting holders of our Common Stock.

Unpredictable Revenue Patterns. A significant portion of our revenues is derived from promotional programs which originate on a project-by-project basis. Since these projects are susceptible to change, delay or cancellation as a result of specific client financial or other marketing and manufacturing related circumstantial issues, as well as changes in the overall economy, our revenue is unpredictable and may vary significantly from period to period.

Competition. The market for promotional services is highly competitive, with hundreds of companies claiming to provide various services in the promotion industry. Some of these companies have greater financial and marketing resources than we do. We compete on the basis of the quality and the degree of comprehensive services which we provide to our clients. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future industry competitors.

Economic Conditions.The prolonged weakness in the general economy has had and is likely to continue to have a negative impact on our business. We provide services to companies and industries that have experienced and may continue to experience financial difficulty. If our customers experience financial difficulty, we could have difficulty recovering amounts owed to us from these customers and demand for our services could decline.

Recent Losses. We sustained net losses of approximately ($143,000), ($843,000), ($2,788,000) and ($4,893,000) for our fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Although we generated net income of $1,215,000 and $5,399,000 for our fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and expect to continue to be profitable in the future, there can be no assurance in that regard.

Lender’s Security Interest.At March 31, 2013, we had no loans outstanding under a $4,000,000 revolving credit facility. As security for our obligations under the credit facility, we granted the lender a first priority security interest in all of our assets. Under the credit facility, we are subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The financial covenants require us to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal year, and that we have immediately available cash at all times, including borrowings under the credit facility, of at least $3 million. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2013. In the event of a default under the credit facility, our lender may demand the repayment of all outstanding principal and interest under the credit facility (if any), and may exercise all of its rights and remedies provided for under the loan agreements, and the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. Although we expect to be able to comply with these covenants, there can be no assurance that we will do so.

Risks Associated with Acquisitions. Part of our growth strategy is evaluating and, from time to time, consummating acquisitions and strategic transactions. These transactions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including: diversion of management’s attention from running our existing business; increased expenses, including legal, administrative and compensation expenses resulting from newly hired employees; increased costs to integrate personnel, customer base and business practices of the acquired company with our own; adverse effects on our reported operating results due to possible write-down of goodwill associated with acquisitions; and dilution to stockholders to the extent we issue securities in the transaction.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We believe the following represent our critical accounting policies:

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are made when accounting for revenue (as discussed below under “Revenue Recognition”), depreciation, amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock options and equity transactions, income taxes and certain other contingencies. We are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to vary from estimates. We review all significant estimates affecting the financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effects of any adjustments when necessary.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are generated from projects subject to contracts requiring us to provide services within specified time periods generally ranging up to twelve months. As a result, on any given date, we have projects in process at various stages of completion. Depending on the nature of the contract, revenue is recognized as follows: (i) on time and material service contracts, revenue is recognized as services are rendered; (ii) on fixed price retainer contracts, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract; and (iii) on certain fixed price contracts, revenue is recognized as certain key milestones are achieved. Reimbursable program costs and expenses and outside production and other program costs associated with the fulfillment of certain specific contracts are accrued or deferred and recognized proportionately to the related revenue. Our business is such that progress towards completing projects may vary considerably from quarter to quarter.

If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of work to be performed, or do not manage our projects properly within the planned periods of time to satisfy our obligations under the contracts, then future profit margins may be significantly and negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Our outside production costs consist primarily of costs to purchase media and program merchandise; costs of production; merchandise warehousing and distribution; third party contract fulfillment costs; and other costs directly related to marketing programs.

In many instances, revenue recognition will not result in related billings throughout the duration of a contract due to timing differences between the contracted billing schedule and the time such revenue is recognized. In such instances, when revenue is recognized in an amount in excess of the contracted billing amount, we record such excess on our balance sheet as unbilled contracts in progress. Alternatively, on a scheduled billing date, should the billing amount exceed the amount of revenue recognized, we record such excess on our balance sheet as deferred revenue. In addition, on contracts where reimbursable costs are incurred prior to the time revenue is recognized on such contracts, we record such costs as deferred contract costs on our balance sheet. Notwithstanding this, labor costs for permanent employees are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our goodwill consists of the cost in excess of the fair market value of the acquired net assets of our subsidiary companies, Inmark, Optimum, U.S. Concepts, and Digital Intelligence as well as U.S. Concepts acquisition of 3 For All Partners, LLC, d/b/a mktgpartners. These companies and businesses have been integrated into a structure which does not provide the basis for separate reporting units. Consequently, the Company is a single reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes. We also have intangible assets consisting of a customer relationship acquired from mktgpartners, and an Internet domain name and related intellectual property rights. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, our balance sheet reflected goodwill and intangible assets as set forth below:

	2013		2012
Amortizable:
Customer relationship	$	80,422	$	402,103

Non-Amortizable:
Goodwill	$	10,052,232	$	10,052,232
Internet domain name		200,000		200,000
	$	10,252,232	$	10,252,232

Total	$	10,332,654	$	10,654,335

Goodwill and the internet domain name are deemed to have indefinite lives and are subject to annual impairment tests. Goodwill impairment tests require that we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. We are not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless we determine, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. We assess the potential impairment of goodwill annually and on an interim basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Upon completion of such review, if impairment is found to have occurred, a corresponding charge will be recorded. The value assigned to the customer relationship is being amortized over a five year period.

Based on our assessment of qualitative factors which included an analysis of macroeconomic conditions, financial performance, and industry and market considerations, we concluded that it was not necessary to perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test and that our goodwill was not impaired as of March 31, 2013. Goodwill and the intangible asset will continue to be tested annually at the end of each fiscal year to determine whether they have been impaired. Upon completion of each annual review, there can be no assurance that a material charge will not be recorded. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment or decline in value may have occurred. Management has also determined that there was no impairment of the amortizable intangible asset.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, management considers many factors in estimating its general allowance, including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness, and economic trends. From time to time, management may adjust its assumptions for anticipated changes in any of those or other factors expected to affect collectability.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Our ability to recover the reported amounts of the deferred income tax asset resulting from net operating losses is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the periods over which such losses are deductible to reduce our tax expense in future periods. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, in light of available objective evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of such assets will be utilized in future periods. As of March 31, 2011, based upon the available objective evidence, specifically our history of losses for fiscal years 2004 through 2010, we provided for a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2011. In fiscal years 2011 and 2012, we earned in the aggregate, $7,492,000 of operating income for financial reporting purposes which will lead to the utilization of approximately $7,507,000 of our net operating loss carry forward for tax reporting purposes. Based on this return to profitability and other available objective evidence, we believed it was more likely than not that the results of future operations would generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax asset during the periods in which we are able to utilize this asset under applicable tax regulations. Accordingly, we reversed the full valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset at March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, we would have to generate approximately $7,967,000 of aggregate taxable income to fully utilize our deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to March 31, 2012:

Overview

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 we generated $4,695,000 in operating income, a $473,000 increase over the $4,222,000 earned during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. This improvement was the result of an increase of $4,433,000 in Operating Revenue, partially offset by increases of $3,366,000 in compensation expense and $594,000 in general and administrative expenses.

Our net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $1,215,000, which includes a $1,660,000 non-cash charge for the fair value adjustment to the derivative financial instruments reflected on our balance sheet in connection with our December 2009 financing. The fair value adjustment is primarily attributable to the rise in the price of our Common Stock during Fiscal 2013, which under generally accepted accounting principles required us to increase the carrying value of the Warrant derivative on our balance sheet and record the amount of such increase under “Fair value adjustments to compound embedded derivatives” on our statement of operations. Our net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $5,399,000, which includes a $1,573,000 income tax benefit primarily attributable to the reinstatement of a net deferred tax asset and a $163,000 non-cash charge for the fair value adjustment to the derivative financial instruments reflected on our balance sheet in connection with our December 2009 financing. A more detailed explanation of the accounting treatment for these non-cash charges is provided in Notes 4 and 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report.

Operating Revenue and Modified EBITDA

We believe Operating Revenue and Modified EBITDA are key performance indicators. We define Operating Revenue as our sales less reimbursable program costs and expenses, and outside production and other program expenses. Operating Revenue is the net amount derived from sales to customers that we believe is available to fund our compensation, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures. We define Modified EBITDA as income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization plus other non-cash expenses. Modified EBITDA is a supplemental measure to evaluate operational performance. Operating Revenue and Modified EBITDA are Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by management to provide additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following table presents operating data expressed as a percentage of Operating Revenue for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively:

	2013			2012
Statement of Operations Data:
Operating revenue		100.0	%		100.0	%

Net income		2.8	%		14.0	%

Sales. Sales consist of fees for services, commissions, reimbursable program costs and expenses and other production and program expenses. We purchase a variety of items and services on behalf of our clients for which we are reimbursed pursuant to our client contracts. The amount of reimbursable program costs and expenses, and outside production and other program expenses, which are included in revenues, will vary from period to period, based on the type and scope of the service being provided.

Sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 were $130,810,000, compared to $125,485,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $5,325,000, or 4%. This increase in sales was attributable to a $3,265,000 increase in sales from our largest customer, Diageo, a $2,348,000 increase in interactive marketing revenues, and a $2,297,000 increase in experiential marketing revenues, offset by a reduction in our trade marketing revenues of $2,585,000.

Reimbursable Program Costs and Expenses.Reimbursable program costs and expenses consist primarily of direct labor, travel and product costs generally associated with events we execute for Diageo. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, these expenses totaled $23,004,000, compared to $23,398,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. This $394,000 decrease is primarily reflects a decrease in the reimbursable program costs and expenses we incurred in executing events for Diageo during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Outside Production and Other Program Expenses.Outside production and other program expenses consist of the costs of purchased materials, media, services, certain direct labor charged to programs, and other expenditures incurred in connection with and directly related to sales but which are not classified as reimbursable program costs and expenses. Outside production costs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 were $64,920,000 compared to $63,634,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1,286,000, or 2%. This increase in outside production and other program expenses is primarily due to an increase in the number of Diageo events we executed, along with an increase in the cost of interactive marketing programs, partially offset by reductions in the cost of experiential marketing programs and trade marketing programs.

Operating Revenue. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, Operating Revenue increased $4,433,000, or 12%, to $42,886,000, compared to $38,453,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. This increase is primarily due to increases in our business with Diageo, interactive marketing revenue and experiential marketing revenue, partially offset by a decrease in trade marketing revenue. Operating Revenue as a percentage of Sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was 33%, compared to 31% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. This increase in the Operating Revenue percentage is a result of a higher mix of fee revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. A reconciliation of Sales to Operating Revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is set forth below.

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
Sales	2013		%		2012		%
Sales – U.S. GAAP	$	130,810,000		100	$	125,485,000		100
Reimbursable program costs and expenses, and outside production and other program expenses		87,924,000		67		87,032,000		69
Operating Revenue – Non-GAAP	$	42,886,000		33	$	38,453,000		31

Compensation Expense. Compensation expense consists of the salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes and benefit costs related to indirect labor, overhead personnel and direct labor not otherwise charged to programs. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, compensation expense was $30,867,000, compared to $27,501,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $3,366,000, or 12%. This increase is primarily the result of a $3,051,000 increase in salaries and a $275,000 increase in payroll taxes and employee benefits primarily due to direct labor staff increases.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses consist of office and equipment rent, depreciation and amortization, professional fees, insurance and other overhead expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, general and administrative costs were $7,324,000, compared to $6,730,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $594,000 or 9%. This increase is primarily the result of a $266,000 increase in new business and promotion expenses, a $181,000 increase in rent and occupancy expenses, a $75,000 increase in insurance expense, and a $48,000 increase in telecommunication expense.

Modified EBITDA.As described above, we believe that Modified EBITDA is a key performance indicator. We use it to measure and evaluate operational performance. Modified EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $6,117,000, compared to $5,605,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. A reconciliation of operating income to Modified EBITDA for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is set forth below.

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Operating income - US GAAP	$	4,695,000	$	4,222,000
Depreciation and amortization		980,000		939,000
Share based compensation expense		442,000		444,000
Modified EBITDA – Non-GAAP	$	6,117,000	$	5,605,000

Interest Income (Expense), Net. Net interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 amounted to $1,000, compared to ($233,000) of net interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 consisted primarily of interest incurred on the Senior Secured Notes, which were issued in December 2009 and repaid in full in November 2011.

Fair Value Adjustments to Compound Embedded Derivatives.Fair value adjustments to compound embedded derivatives for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were ($1,660,000) and ($163,000), respectively. These amounts consist entirely of a non-cash fair value adjustment to the derivative financial instruments generated from the December 2009 financing. This adjustment is primarily attributable to the fluctuation in the price of our Common Stock during the relevant periods, which under generally accepted accounting principles required us to adjust the carrying values of the Warrant derivative liability and other derivative liabilities on our balance sheets and record the amount of such adjustments under “Fair value adjustments to compound embedded derivatives” on our statements of operations. In general, an increase in the price of our Common Stock in a particular period will result in an increase in the carrying values of these derivative liabilities on our balance sheets at the end of such period and require us to record the amount of such increase as a charge under “Fair value adjustments to compound embedded derivatives” on our statements of operations for such period, and a decrease in the price of our Common Stock in a particular period will have the opposite effect. A more detailed explanation of the accounting treatment for these derivative financial instruments is provided in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.

Income Before Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. The Company’s income before provision (benefit) for income taxes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 decreased $790,000 to $3,036,000, compared to $3,826,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 the provision for income taxes was $1,821,000. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 the benefit for income taxes was ($1,573,000), consisting primarily of the reversal of a $3,414,000 valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2012, partially offset by a $1,841,000 provision for income taxes. We reversed this allowance because, in the light of operating income generated in the fiscal years 2012 and 2011 and other factors, we believed it was more likely than not that we would be able to utilize the net deferred tax asset to reduce our tax expense in future periods.

Net Income. As a result of the items discussed above, we generated net income of $1,215,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $4,184,000, compared to $5,399,000 of net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Diluted earnings per share amounted to $.07 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 versus $.34 per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, working capital increased by $5,124,000 from $2,083,000 to $7,207,000, primarily as a result of the operating income we generated during the period.

At March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11,240,000, borrowing availability under our credit facility of $3,198,000, working capital of $7,207,000, and stockholders’ equity of $10,177,000. In comparison, at March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,661,000, borrowing availability under the our credit facility of $3,726,000, working capital of $2,083,000, and stockholders’ equity of $9,554,000. The $4,579,000 increase in cash and cash equivalents during Fiscal 2013 was primarily due $4,985,000 of cash provided by operating activities and the release of $500,000 of restricted cash, partially offset by $461,000 used to repurchase shares of our Common Stock and $435,000 in property and equipment purchases.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $4,985,000, primarily attributable to net income of $1,215,000 plus $4,354,000 in net non-cash charges that include a reduction in our deferred income tax asset, fair value adjustments to compound derivatives, depreciation and amortization expense, and share based compensation expense, partially offset by $584,000 of cash used by the changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $65,000, resulting from the release of $500,000 of restricted cash, offset by $435,000 in property and equipment purchases.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $399,000, the result of $461,000 in repurchases of our Common Stock, offset by $62,000 in proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. Our stock repurchases consisted of the repurchase of 301,121 shares of Common Stock from one of our stockholders in a single, privately negotiated transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $376,000, and $85,000 of stock repurchase from employees to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and other de minimis repurchases.

On November 23, 2011, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with TD Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), pursuant to which we were provided with a $4.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets, and have been guaranteed by our subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, among other things:

	·	All outstanding loans will become due on November 23, 2013, provided that following our request, the Bank may in its sole discretion agree to one year extensions of the maturity date;

	·	Interest accrues on outstanding loans at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 4.0%, and (ii) the Bank’s prime rate as from time to time in effect plus one percent;

	·	Aggregate loans outstanding at any time are limited to a borrowing base equal to 80% of our eligible accounts receivable, as determined by the Bank, provided that the advance rate is limited to 50% with respect to accounts receivable from our customers whose receivables constitute more than 50% of our receivables in the aggregate; and

We are required to comply with a number of affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict our ability to pay dividends, provide that our debt service coverage ratio (as determined pursuant to the Loan Agreement) cannot be less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal year, and require that we have immediately available cash at all times, including borrowings under the Credit Facility, of at least $3 million. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2013.

If we do not comply with the financial and other covenants and requirements of the Loan Agreement, the Bank may, subject to various cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the holders of our Series D Preferred Stock entered into a Standstill Agreement with the Bank under which such stockholders have agreed not to exercise any rights they may have to cause us to redeem their shares of Series D Preferred Stock prior to December 15, 2015 (or such earlier date as the Credit Facility is terminated), other than upon a change of control or liquidation event of the Company.

On December 11, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, effective as of November 23, 2012, pursuant to which (i) the maturity date under the Loan Agreement was extended for one year to November 23, 2013, and (ii) our obligation to maintain $500,000 in a blocked account with the Bank to secure our obligations under the loan agreement was terminated. Accordingly, in connection with the amendment, such blocked account was released back to us.

We believe that cash currently on hand together with cash expected to be generated from operations and borrowing availability under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our cash and near-cash requirements both through March 31, 2014 and on a long term basis. We had no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We are not a party to any “off-balance sheet transactions” as defined in Item 301 of Regulation S-K.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB has issued FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Upon adoption an entity is required to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management currently believes that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” Similar to ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 250) - Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, ASU 2012-02 addresses the growing cost and complexity of performing an analysis to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets (other than goodwill) for impairment. This ASU introduces qualitative factors which would simplify the analysis if facts and circumstances make it more-likely-than-not that impairment would not exist. Rather than requiring a purely quantitative impairment test, the ASU provides entities with the option to first examine qualitative factors to make this determination. Factors to be considered would include, but are not limited to:

Increases in interest rates, salaries, or other operating expenses, which would have a negative impact on future earnings or cash flows;

Recent financial performance and cash flow trends;

Aspects of the legal and regulatory environment which are expected to impact future cash flows, such as the Dodd-Frank Act;

Management turnover;

Economic and industry conditions.

Entities are required by the guidance to consider both positive and negative impacts of such factors before determining whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e. greater than 50% probability) that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. It should be noted that the qualitative portion of the analysis is optional for all issuers.

This ASU is effective for impairment tests performed during fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and may be early adopted if the entity’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
‘mktg, inc.’
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ‘mktg, inc.’ and subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years 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 audits.

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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ‘mktg, inc.’ and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock options and equity transactions, and revenue recognition. Management bases its estimates on certain assumptions, which it believes are reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, derivative financial instruments, the Company’s Senior Secured Notes (“Secured Notes”) which were retired in 2012 and Series D Convertible Participating Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) issued December 15, 2009. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities generally approximate their respective carrying values due to their current nature. Derivative liabilities, as discussed below, are required to be carried at fair value. The following table reflects the comparison of the carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2013:

		Carrying Values				Fair Values
Series D Preferred Stock (SeeNotes 4 and6)		$	3,132,882			$	8,413,532

The fair value of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock has been determined based upon the forward cash flow of the contracts, discounted at credit-risk adjusted market rates.

Derivative financial instruments – Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Financial Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying features (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company issued other financial instruments with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. SeeNotes 4,6 and7 for additional information.

Redeemable preferred stock – Redeemable preferred stock (such as the Series D Preferred Stock, and any other redeemable financial instrument the Company may issue) is initially evaluated for possible classification as a liability under ASC 480 Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. Redeemable preferred stock classified as a liability is recorded and carried at fair value. Redeemable preferred stock that does not, in its entirety, require liability classification, is evaluated for embedded features that may require bifurcation and separate classification as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. In all instances, the classification of the redeemable preferred stock host contract that does not require liability classification is evaluated for equity classification or mezzanine classification based upon the nature of the redemption features. Generally, any feature that could require cash redemption for matters not within the Company’s control, irrespective of probability of the event occurring, requires classification outside of stockholders’ equity. SeeNote 6 for further disclosures about the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, which constitutes redeemable preferred stock.

Fair value measurements - Fair value measurement requirements are embodied in certain accounting standards applied in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. Significant fair value measurements resulted from the application of ASC 815 Fair Value Measurements to the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, and Warrants issued in December 2009 as described in Note 7, and ASC 718 Stock Compensation to the Company’s share based payment arrangements.

ASC 815 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC 815 further permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. At this time, the Company does not intend to reflect any of its current financial instruments at fair value (except that the Company is required to carry derivative financial instruments at fair value). However, the Company will consider the appropriateness of recognizing financial instruments at fair value on a case by case basis as they arise in future periods.

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents. At March 31, 2013 the Company had approximately $10,650,000 of cash on hand in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

(e)

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies

(f)

Unbilled Contracts in Progress

Unbilled contracts in progress represent revenue recognized in advance of billings rendered based on work performed to date on certain contracts.

(g)

Deferred/Accrued Contract Costs

Reimbursable program costs and expenses and outside production and other program expenses associated with the fulfillment of certain specific contracts are accrued or deferred and recognized proportionately to the related revenue. Notwithstanding the Company’s accounting policy with regard to deferred contract costs, labor costs for permanent employees are expensed as incurred.

(h)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures and computer equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Funds received from a landlord to reimburse the Company for the cost, or a portion of the cost, of leasehold improvements are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the lease term. Minor repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred while costs that enhance the life of an asset are capitalized.

(i)

Goodwill

Goodwill consists of the cost in excess of the fair value of the acquired net assets of the Company’s subsidiaries. Goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests which require the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless it determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company assesses the potential impairment of goodwill annually and on an interim basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Upon completion of such annual review, if impairment is found to have occurred, a corresponding charge will be recorded. The Company has determined that it has one reporting unit, and that a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test was not necessary. Based on such analysis, the Company did not identify any indication of impairment of its goodwill as of March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, our balance sheet reflected $10,052,232 of goodwill.

(j)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include the value of a customer relationship and an internet domain name. The customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated economic life of five years. Amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 for this asset amounted to $321,681 and $321,683, respectively.

At March 31, 2013 and 2012, our balance sheet reflected:

	March 31, 2013
	Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization		Net value

Customer relationship	$	1,608,413	$	1,527,991	$	80,422

Unamortizable intangible asset:		200,000		—		200,000
Internet domain name	$	1,808,413	$	1,527,991	$	280,422

	March 31, 2012
	Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization		Net value

Customer relationship	$	1,608,413	$	1,206,310	$	402,103

Unamortizable intangible asset:		200,000	$	—		200,000
Internet domain name	$	1,808,413	$	1,206,310	$	602,103

Amortization expense is expected to be $80,422 for the year ending March 31, 2014.

(k)

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with FASB guidance, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The Company did not identify any indication of impairment of its long-lived assets as of March 31, 2013.

(l)

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are generated from projects subject to contracts requiring the Company to provide its services within specified time periods generally ranging up to twelve months. As a result, on any given date, the Company has projects in process at various stages of completion. Depending on the nature of the contract, revenue is recognized as follows: (i) on time and material service contracts, revenue is recognized as services are rendered; (ii) on fixed price retainer contracts, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract; and (iii) on certain fixed price contracts, revenue is recognized as certain key performance criteria are achieved. Incremental direct costs associated with the fulfillment of certain specific contracts are accrued or deferred and recognized proportionately to the related revenue. Provisions for anticipated losses on uncompleted projects are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

(m)

Reimbursable Program Costs and Expenses

Pursuant to contractual arrangements with some of its clients, the Company is reimbursed for certain program costs and expenses. These reimbursed costs are recorded both as revenues and as operating expenses. Such costs may include variable employee program compensation costs. Not included in reimbursable program costs and expenses are certain compensation and general and administrative expenses which are recurring in nature and for which a certain client fee arrangement provides for payment of such costs. These costs are included in compensation and general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations.

The FASB released guidance on “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” and “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred.” Indicators identified by the Company for gross revenue reporting included: the Company is the primary obligor in customer arrangements, the Company has discretion in supplier selection, and the Company has credit risk. Accordingly, the Company records its client reimbursements, including out-of-pocket expenses, as revenue on a gross basis.

(n)

Deferred Rent

Deferred rent consists of (i) the excess of the allocable straight-line rent expense to date as compared to the total amount of rent due and payable through such period, and (ii) funds received from landlords to reimburse the Company for the cost, or a portion of the cost, of leasehold improvements. Deferred rent is amortized as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease.

(o)

Accounting for Share Based Compensation

In accordance with FASB guidance, the Company measures all employee share based compensation awards using a fair value method and records the related expense in the financial statements over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Excess tax benefits, as defined by FASB guidance, are realized from the exercise of stock options and are reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flow from operations. For each award that has a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Share based employee compensation expense for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $442,115 and $444,276 respectively.

(p)

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and local income taxes that are currently payable. Deferred income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At March 31, 2012 the Company reversed its full allowance against its net deferred tax asset because, in the light of operating income generated in the fiscal years 2012 and 2011 and other factors, the Company believed it was more likely than not that it would be able to utilize its net deferred tax asset to reduce its tax expense in future periods.

(q)

Net Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the same basis, including if dilutive, common share equivalents, which include outstanding options, warrants, preferred stock and restricted stock. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, stock options to purchase approximately 70,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding consist of:


	2013		2012
Basic		8,289,132		8,140,944
Dilutive effect of:
Options		212,424		—
Restricted stock		152,842		50,108
Warrants		2,453,954		2,453,107
Series D preferred stock		5,319,149		5,319,149
Diluted		16,427,501		15,963,308

Union Capital Financing

Overview:

On December 15, 2009, the Company consummated a $5.0 million financing led by an investment vehicle organized by Union Capital Corporation (“UCC”). In the financing, the Company issued $2.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes which were repaid in full in November 2011, $2.5 million in aggregate stated value of Series D Preferred Stock initially convertible into 5,319,149 shares of Common Stock, and Warrants to purchase 2,456,272 shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”). As a condition to its participation in the financing, UCC required that certain of our directors, officers and employees (“Management Buyers”) collectively purchase $735,000 of the financial instruments on the same terms and conditions as the lead investor. Aggregate amounts above are inclusive of Management Buyers amounts.

The shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued in the financing have a stated value of $1.00 per share, and are convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.47. The conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock is subject to weighted-average anti-dilution provisions. Generally, this means that if the Company sells non-exempt securities below the conversion price, the holders’ conversion price will be adjusted downwards. Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are not entitled to special dividends but will be entitled to be paid upon a liquidation, redemption or change of control, the stated value of such shares plus the greater of (a) a 14% accreting liquidation preference, compounding annually, and (b) 3% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (excluding the shares issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock) for the 20 days preceding the event. A consolidation or merger, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and a sale of 50% or more of Common Stock would be treated as a change of control for this purpose.

After December 15, 2015, holders of the Series D Preferred Stock can require the Company to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock for cash at its stated value plus any accretion thereon (“Put Derivative”). In addition, the Company may be required to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock for cash earlier upon the occurrence of a “Triggering Event.” Triggering Events include (i) a failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock, (ii) failure to pay amounts due to the holders (after notice and a cure period), (iii) a bankruptcy event with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) default under other indebtedness in excess of certain amounts, and (v) a breach of representations, warranties or covenants in the documents entered into in connection with the financing. Upon a Triggering Event or failure to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock, the accretion rate on the Series D Preferred Stock will increase to 16.5% per annum. The Company may also be required to pay penalties upon a failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock.

The Series D Preferred Stock votes together with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, and the vote of a majority of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock is required to approve, among other things, (i) any issuance of capital stock senior to or pari passu with the Series D Preferred Stock; (ii) any increase in the number of authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock; (iii) any dividends or payments on equity securities; (iv) any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other governing documents that would result in an adverse change to the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock; (v) any material deviation from the annual budget approved by the Board of Directors; and (vi) entering into any material contract not contemplated by the annual budget approved by the Board of Directors.

So long as at least 25% of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued at closing are outstanding, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock as a class will have the right to designate two members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and so long as at least 15% but less than 25% of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued at the closing are outstanding, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will have the right to designate one member of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock have the right to designate two non-voting observers to the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Warrants to purchase 2,456,272 shares of Common Stock issued in the financing have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, subject to adjustment solely for recapitalizations. The Warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis under a formula that explicitly limits the number of issuable common shares. The exercise period for the Warrants ends December 15, 2015.

At the request of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants, if ever, the Company will be required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Upon closing of the financing, UCC became entitled to a closing fee of $325,000, half of which was paid upon the closing and the balance of which was paid in six monthly installments following the closing. The Company also reimbursed UCC for its fees and expenses in the amount of $250,000. Additionally, the Company entered into a management consulting agreement with Union Capital under which Union Capital provides the Company with management advisory services and the Company currently pays Union Capital a fee of $62,500 per year. The management consulting agreement will terminate when the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock no longer have the right to nominate any directors and Union Capital no longer owns at least 20% of the Common Stock purchased by it at closing (assuming conversion of Series Preferred D Stock and exercise of Warrants held by it).

Accounting for the December 2009 Financing:

Current accounting standards require analysis of each of the financial instruments issued in the December 2009 financing for purposes of classification and measurement in our financial statements.

The Series D Preferred Stock is a hybrid financial instrument. Due to the redemption feature and the associated participation feature that behaves similarly to a coupon on indebtedness, the Company determined that the embedded conversion feature and other features that have risks associated with debt require bifurcation and classification in liabilities as a compound embedded derivative financial instrument. The conversion feature, along with certain other features that have risks of equity, required bifurcation and classification in their compound form in liabilities as a derivative financial instrument. Derivative financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value both at inception and an ongoing basis. The Company has used the Monte Carlo simulation technique to value the compound embedded derivative, because that model affords the flexibility to incorporate all of the assumptions that market participants would likely consider in determining the value for purposes of trading the hybrid contract. Further, due to the redemption feature, the Company is required to carry the host Series D Preferred Stock outside of stockholders’ equity and the discount resulting from the initial allocation requires accretion through charges to retained earnings, using the effective method, over the period from issuance to the redemption date.

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the Secured Notes under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The terms of the Secured Notes that qualified as a derivative instrument were (i) a written put option which allows the holders of the Secured Notes to accelerate interest and principal (effectively forcing an early redemption of the Secured Notes) in the event of certain events of default, including a change of control of the Company, and (ii) the holders’ right to increase the interest rate on the Secured Notes by 4% per year in the event of a suspension from trading of the Company’s Common Stock or an event of default. Pursuant to ASC 815-15-25-40, put options that can accelerate repayment of principal meet the requisite criteria of a derivative financial instrument. In addition, as addressed in ASC 815-15-25-41, for a contingently exercisable put to be considered clearly and closely related to the relevant instrument and not constitute a separate derivative financial instrument, it can be indexed only to interest or credit risk. In this instance, the put instruments embedded in the Secured Notes were indexed to events that were not related to interest or credit risk, namely, a change of control of the Company, and suspension of trading of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, these features were not considered clearly and closely related to the Note, and bifurcation was necessary.

The Company determined that the Warrants should be classified as stockholders’ equity. The principal concepts underlying accounting for warrants provide a series of conditions, related to the potential for net cash settlement, which must be met in order to achieve equity classification. Our conclusion is that the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and meet all of the conditions for equity classification. The Company measured the fair value of the Warrants on the inception date to provide a basis for allocating the net proceeds to the various financial instruments issued in the December 2009 financing. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique, because that method embodies, in its view, all of the assumptions that market participants would consider in determining the fair value of the Warrants for purposes of a sale or exchange. The allocated value of the Warrants was recorded to Additional Paid-in Capital.

The financial instruments sold to the Management Buyers, were recognized as compensation expense in the amount by which the fair value of the share-linked financial instruments (i.e. Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants) exceeded the proceeds that the Company received. The financial instruments subject to allocation were the Secured Notes, Series D Preferred Stock, Compound Embedded Derivatives (“CED”) and the Warrants. Other than the compensatory amounts, current accounting concepts generally provide that the allocation is, first, to those instruments that are required to be recorded at fair value; that is, the CED; and the remainder based upon relative fair values.

The following table provides the components of the allocation and the related fair values of the subject financial instruments:

			Allocation
	Fair Values		UCC			Management Buyers			Total

Compensation Expense				—			(216,939	)		(216,939	)
			$	3,690,000		$	735,000		$	4,425,000

Closing costs of $325,000 were paid directly to the lead investor. As required by current accounting standards, financing costs paid directly to an investor or creditor are reflected in the allocation as original issue discount to the financial instruments.

Fair Value Considerations:

The Company has adopted the authoritative guidance on “Fair Value Measurements.” The guidance 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, not adjusted for transaction costs. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical asset or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3) as described below:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company.

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

The Company’s Secured Notes, Warrant derivative liability, Put option derivative and Series D Preferred Stock are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using unobservable inputs including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants. In November, 2011, in conjunction with the Company obtaining a bank credit facility (seeNote 5), the Company repaid in full the remaining $2 million of principal then outstanding under the Secured Notes.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers in and out of Level 3 during the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company’s balance sheet, the Company has elected not to record any other assets and liabilities at fair value.

The following tables present the Company’s instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

Bank Credit Facility

On November 23, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with TD Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), pursuant to which it was provided with a $4.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of Company’s assets and have been guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, among other things:

All outstanding loans will become due on November 23, 2013, provided that following the Company’s request, the Bank may in its sole discretion agree to one year extensions of the maturity date;

Interest accrues on outstanding loans at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 4.0%, and (ii) the Bank’s prime rate as from time to time in effect plus one percent;

Aggregate loans outstanding at any time are limited to a borrowing base equal to 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, as determined by the Bank, provided that the advance rate is limited to 50% with respect to accounts receivable from customers of the Company whose receivables constitute more than 50% of the Company’s receivables in the aggregate; and

The Company is required to comply with a number of affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends, provide that the Company’s debt service coverage ratio (as determined pursuant to the Loan Agreement) cannot be less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal year, and require that the Company have immediately available cash at all times, including borrowings under the Credit Facility, of at least $3 million.

If the Company does not comply with the financial and other covenants and requirements of the Loan Agreement, the Bank may, subject to various cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

Upon the closing of the Credit Facility, the Company paid a $30,000 commitment fee to the Bank plus its legal costs and expenses.

On December 11, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, effective as of November 23, 2012, pursuant to which (i) the maturity date under the loan agreement was extended for one year to November 23, 2013, and (ii) the Company’s obligation to maintain $500,000 in a blocked account with the Bank to secure the Company’s obligations under the loan agreement was terminated. Accordingly, in connection with the amendment, such blocked account was released to the Company.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and availability of $3,198,000.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the holders of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock entered into a Standstill Agreement with the Bank under which such stockholders have agreed not to exercise any rights they may have to cause the Company to redeem their shares of Series D Preferred Stock prior to December 15, 2015 (or such earlier date as the Credit Facility is terminated), other than upon a change of control or liquidation event of the Company.

(6)

Redeemable Preferred Stock

Redeemable preferred stock consists of the following as of March 31, 2013 and 2012:

		March 31, 2013				March 31, 2012
Series D Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, stated value $1.00, 2,500,000 shares designated, 2,500,000 shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2013; redemption and liquidation value $3,732,681 at March 31, 2013		$	3,132,882			$	2,569,347

The Series D Preferred Stock is subject to accretion to its redemption value, through charges to equity, over the period from issuance to the contractual redemption date, discussed in Note 4, above, using the effective interest method. The redemption value is determined based upon the stated redemption amount of $1.00 per share, plus an accretion amount, more fully discussed below. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, accretion amounted to $563,535 and $566,262, respectively.

(7)

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of compound embedded derivatives (“CED”) that were bifurcated from our Series D Preferred Stock and Secured Notes. The Preferred CED comprises the embedded conversion option and certain other equity-indexed features that were not clearly and closely related to the Series D Preferred Stock in terms of risks. The Senior Note CED comprises certain put features that were not clearly and closely related to the Secured Notes in terms of risks. Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value. The following table reflects the components of the CEDs and changes in fair value, using the techniques and assumptions described in Note 4:

	Total		Warrant Derivative		Put Derivative
Balances at April 1, 2011	$	2,842,415	$	2,837,143	$	5,272
Fair value adjustments		162,904		168,176		(5,272	)
Balances at March 31, 2012		3,005,319		3,005,319		—
Fair value adjustments		1,659,575		1,659,575		—
Balances at March 31, 2013	$	4,664,894	$	4,664,894	$	—

Fair value adjustments are recorded in fair value adjustments to compound embedded derivatives in the accompanying financial statements. As a result, the Company’s earnings are and will be affected by changes in the assumptions underlying the valuation of the derivative financial instruments. The principal assumptions that have, in the Company’s view, the most significant effects are the Company’s trading market prices, volatilities and risk-adjusted market credit rates.

Stockholders’ Equity

(i)Stock Options

On July 1, 2002, the Company established the 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) providing for the grant of options or other awards, including stock grants, to employees, officers or directors of, consultants to, the Company or its subsidiaries to acquire up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock. In September 2005, the 2002 Plan was amended so as to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available under the plan to 1,250,000. In September 2008, the 2002 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available under the plan to 1,650,000. Options granted under the 2002 Plan may either be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or may be non-qualified options. Grants under the 2002 Plan are awarded by a committee of the Board of Directors, and are exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years from date of grant. The option price for incentive stock options granted under the 2002 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, while the price for non-qualified options granted is determined by the Committee of the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2013, there were 70,000 options, expiring from April 2015 through September 2017, issued under the 2002 Plan that remained outstanding. The 2002 Plan terminated on June 30, 2012.

On March 25, 2010, the stockholders of the Companyapproved the ‘mktg, inc.’ 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), under which 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been set aside and reserved for issuance.The 2010 Plan provides for the granting to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of stock options (non-statutory and incentive), restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other performance stock awards. The 2010 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price per share of a stock option, which is determined by the Compensation Committee, may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. For non-qualified options the term of the option is determined by the Compensation Committee. For incentive stock options the term of the option is not more than ten years. However, if the optionee owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company, the term of the incentive stock option will be no longer than five years. The 2010 Plan automatically terminates on February 22, 2020, unless it is terminated earlier by a vote of the Company’s stockholders or the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any such action does not affect the rights of any participants of the 2010 Plan. In addition, the 2010 Plan may be amended by the stockholders of the Company or the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval if required by applicable law or listing requirements.At March 31, 2013, there were options to purchase 2,455,428 shares of Common Stock, expiring May 2020, issued under the 2010 Plan that remained outstanding. Any option under the 2010 Plan that is not exercised by an option holder prior to its expiration may be available for re-issuance by the Company.As of March 31, 2013, the Company had options or other awards for 45,135 shares of Common Stock available for grant under the 2010 Plan.

The maximum contractual life for any of the options is ten years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of stock options granted under FASB guidance. Because option-pricing models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of options.

A summary of option activity under all plans as of March 31, 2013, and changes during the two-year period then ended is presented below:


	Weighted average exercise price		Number of options			Weighted average remaining contractual term		Aggregate intrinsic value

Balance at March 31, 2011	$	0.60		3,048,677			8.55	$	701,196

Exercisable at March 31, 2013	$	0.54		1,297,716			7.16	$	1,051,150

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to vested and expected to vest options at March 31, 2013 amounted to $185,486 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.17 years. Total compensation cost for all outstanding option awards for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $162,106 and $177,696, respectively.

(ii)Warrants

At March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 there were warrants outstanding to purchase 2,456,272 shares of common stock at a price of $.001 per share, which were issued in the December 2009 financing and expire December 15, 2015. The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants outstanding at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was $3,313,511 and $2,257,314, respectively.

(iii)Restricted Stock

During the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company awarded 160,000 and 250,500 shares of Common Stock initially subject to forfeiture (“restricted stock”) pursuant to the authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors and certain Restricted Stock Agreements under the Company’s 2010 Plan.

As of March 31, 2013 the Company had awarded 1,185,571 shares (net of forfeited shares) of restricted stock under the Company’s 2002 Plan, 355,000 shares (net of forfeited shares) of restricted stock under the Company’s 2010 Plan, and 189,767 shares (net of forfeited shares) of restricted stock that were not issued under the Company’s 2002 or 2010 Plans. Grant date fair value is determined by the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The aggregate value of these shares at their respective grant dates amount to approximately $2,612,944 and is recognized ratably as compensation expense over the vesting periods. The shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to such agreements vest in various tranches over one to five years from the date of grant.

The shares awarded to employees under the restricted stock agreements vest on the applicable vesting dates only to the extent the recipient of the shares is then an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and each recipient will forfeit all of the shares that have not vested on the date his or her employment is terminated.

A summary of all non-vested stock activity as of March 31, 2013, and changes during the two years then ended is presented below:


	Weighted average grant date fair value		Number of shares			Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Weighted average remaining contractual term

Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a savings plan available to substantially all salaried employees which is intended to qualify as a deferred compensation plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, employees may contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation, up to the maximum amount allowed by law. The Company at its sole discretion may from time to time make discretionary matching contributions as it deems advisable. The Company’s current policy is to match its employee’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan at the rate of 50%, with the maximum matching contribution per employee being the lower of 2.5% of salary or $6,250 in any calendar year. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company made discretionary contributions of approximately $208,000 and $183,000, respectively.

Employment Agreements

In June 2008, upon the acquisition of mktgpartners the Company employed Charles Horsey, the principal member of mktgpartners, as its Chief Operating Officer. The Company subsequently entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Horsey upon his appointment as the Company’s President. In May 2010, the Company further amended the agreement so that Mr. Horsey serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in addition to its President. The employment agreement, as amended, expires April 1, 2014, currently provides for an annual base salary of $390,000, and an annual bonus targeted at 60% of the base salary. Pursuant to the employment agreement, in the event that Mr. Horsey’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” or by Mr. Horsey for “Good Reason,” Mr. Horsey will be entitled to severance pay equal to twelve months of his then base salary plus $100,000.

(14)

Related Party Transactions

Charles Horsey, who was not then employed by the Company, but who is currently its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, was mktgpartners’ principal member. In July 2009, following the approval of the Company’s Audit Committee, which was based on mktgpartners’ performance following the acquisition and other relevant factors, the cash of $750,000 that was placed into escrow at the time of the acquisition was released to mktgpartners. In addition, the entire share consideration consisting of 332,226 shares of common stock was released to mktgpartners in January 2010. As a condition to their participation in the December 2009 Stock financing, Union Capital required that directors, officers and employees collectively purchase $735,000 of the securities issued in the financing on the same terms and conditions as Union Capital. Directors, officers and employees participating in the financing included Marc Particelli, the Chairman of the Board of the Company at that time, who invested $500,000 in the financing, and Charles Horsey, who invested $200,000 in the financing.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluates the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in“Internal Control – Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In accordance with these standards, management assessed and tested, on a sample basis, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2013.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and cannot detect all deviations. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of control can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or deviations, if any, within the Company have been detected. While we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting are effective, in light of the foregoing, we intend to continue to examine and refine our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting to monitor ongoing developments in this area.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

General

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), under its charter, is charged with, among other things, determining the cash and non-cash compensation of our executive officers, and exercising the authority of the Board of Directors with respect to the administration of our stock-based and other incentive compensation plans.

Our compensation arrangements with those persons who served as our executive officers for all or part of Fiscal 2013 primarily reflect the individual circumstances surrounding the applicable executive officer’s hiring or appointment, as reflected in the employment agreements we entered into with those persons. The foregoing information is intended to provide context for the discussion that follows regarding our compensation arrangements with those persons who served as our executive officers for all or part of Fiscal 2013.

Compensation Philosophy

Our compensation programs are designed to align compensation with business objectives and performance metrics, enabling us to reward executives and other key employees who contribute to and maximize shareholder value. Our compensation strategy will utilize multiple compensation vehicles to balance institutional affordability and the ability to hire and retain top talent. Consistent with the foregoing, the Compensation Committee subscribes to the following principles:

We believe that the most effective compensation strategies are simple in design, straightforward in application and easy to communicate to management, investors and participants.

We will reward key talent who directly contribute to the achievement of our core business objectives, based upon evaluation of specific, measurable performance goals.

We believe that an incentive compensation award should be first dependent upon the profitability and performance of the company and second upon an individual’s achievement of measurable personal goals that are directly aligned with the company’s strategic and operational goals.

We believe that base salary should be the fixed portion of executive compensation and should be used to compensate individuals for expected, day-to-day performance.

We believe that the variable portion of executive compensation should consist of cash and equity (or equity-like) incentives, to be determined annually and tied directly to performance measures and executive retention.

Role of Management Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Committee makes all compensation decisions for executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer, together with other members of management, evaluate the performance of executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer), and the Chief Executive Officer then makes recommendations to the Committee with respect to annual salary adjustments, annual cash bonus awards and restricted stock grants. The Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended salary adjustments or discretionary cash or equity-based awards to executives.

Principal Components of Compensation of Our Executive Officers

The principal components of the compensation paid to our executive officers consist of:

base salary;

cash bonuses; and

equity compensation, generally in the form of stock options and awards of restricted stock.

Management Bonus Plan

On May 12, 2010, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Management Bonus Plan. Pursuant to the Management Bonus Plan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other employees of the Company selected by him are eligible to be paid annual cash bonuses from a bonus pool. The bonus pool is only funded to the extent specified EBITDA thresholds approved of by the Company’s Board of Directors are achieved, and the actual amount of the bonus pool in each year (if any) is determined by the amount by which such thresholds are exceeded. For Fiscal 2013, 86% of the bonus pool was funded as a result of the Company’s performance for the fiscal year.

Allocation and Objectives of Compensation

The Committee has established the following policies and guidelines with respect to the mix of base salary, cash bonus and equity awards to be paid or awarded to our executive officers.

Target cash bonus for our senior executives of up to 50% of base salary for the achievement of objectives established by the Committee and the Board of Directors;

Target cash bonus for other officers and senior management equal to 30% of the base salary of each such person for the achievement of objectives established by the Committee and the Board of Directors; and

Stock option grants vesting over four years and subject to the achievement of EBITDA targets set by the Board of Directors, awarded at the discretion of the Committee.

Base Salary

Base salary levels for the Company’s executive officers recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of each executive officer and are determined, as applicable, based on prevailing market conditions, terms of existing employment agreements, and arms’ length negotiation.

Equity Compensation

Chief Executive Officer

Upon his initial employment with the Company in connection with the acquisition of mktgpartners in June 2008, the Committee approved the award to Mr. Horsey of 69,767 shares of Common Stock under a Restricted Stock Agreement vesting over a five-year period. In addition, the Committee approved an award to Mr. Horsey of an additional 30,233 shares of restricted Common Stock upon Mr. Horsey’s appointment as Chief Operating Officer in December 2008, and an additional 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock upon his appointment as President in March 2009. Subsequently, in May 2010, following the approval of the Committee, Mr. Horsey was granted an option to purchase 953,284 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share, with such option vesting over four years and subject to the achievement of EBITDA targets set by the Board of Directors. Finally, in May 2012, the Committee approved the award to Mr. Horsey of 67,500 shares of Common Stock under a Restricted Stock Agreement vesting over a four-year period.

Chief Financial Officer

In May 2012, the Committee approved the award to Mr. Trager of 35,000 shares of Common Stock under a Restricted Stock Agreement vesting over a four-year period.

Senior Vice President - Controller

In connection with his appointment as Senior Vice President – Controller, Chief Accounting Officer in March 2009, the Committee approved the award to Mr. Haughton of 25,000 shares of restricted Common Stock vesting over a five-year period. In addition, in May 2010, following the approval of the Committee, Mr. Haughton was granted an option to purchase 144,437 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share, with such option vesting over four years and subject to the achievement of EBITDA targets set by the Board of Directors. Subsequently, in May 2012, the Committee approved the award to Mr. Haughton of 35,000 shares of Common Stock under a Restricted Stock Agreement vesting over a four-year period.

Other Benefits

The Company believes that establishing competitive benefit packages for its employees is an important factor in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel. Executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, and the Company’s 401(k) plan, in each case on the same basis as other employees. During Fiscal 2012, consistent with the Company’s practice with respect to all of its employees, the Company provided matching contributions under its 401(k) plan. Other than the 401(k) plan offered to all of its eligible employees, the Company does not offer retirement benefits.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

RELATED-PERSON TRANSACTIONS POLICY AND PROCEDURES

We have a written Related-Person Transactions Policy that sets forth the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related-persons transactions.” For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company and any “related person” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $50,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to the Company as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, or more than 5% stockholder of the Company, including any of their immediate family members, and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, management must present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to the Audit Committee (or, where Audit Committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the Board) for consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to the Company of the transaction and whether any alternative transactions were available. To identify related-person transactions in advance, the Company relies on information supplied by its executive officers and directors. In considering related-person transactions, the Committee takes into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to (a) the risks, costs and benefits to the Company, (b) the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated, (c) the terms of the transaction, (d) the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and (e) the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally. In the event a director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the director must recuse himself or herself form the deliberations and approval. The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related-person transaction, the Committee look at, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as the Committee determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

In March 2013, following the approval of our full Board, including our Audit Committee, we repurchased 301,121 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.25 per share from John Benfield, who at that time was the holder of approximately 5.2% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has determined that each of Richard L. Feinstein and Marc C. Particelli is an “independent director” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). The Board of Directors has also determined that each of the members of its Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees meets the independence requirements applicable to those committees prescribed by the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as currently in effect.

Item 14.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

Principal Accounting Firm Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to and accrued by the Company for Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 by ParenteBeard LLC.

	Fiscal 2013		Fiscal 2012

All Other Fees (1)		34,000		24,000

(1)

For Fiscal 2013 and 2012, these fees relate to the audit of the Company’s 401(k) plan and nonrecurring non-attest special projects.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all services (audit and non-audit) to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor. In accordance with that policy, the Audit Committee approved all audit and non-audit services rendered to the Company by ParenteBeard LLC in Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 and has determined that the provision of non-audit services by such auditors was compatible with maintaining their independence.
