Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1993. We are a leading developer, marketer and publisher of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. The Company develops and publishes products through its two wholly-owned labels Rockstar Games and 2K, which publishes its titles under the 2K Games, 2K Sports and 2K Play brands. Our products are designed for console systems, handheld gaming systems and personal computers, including smart phones and tablets, and are delivered through physical retail, digital download, online platforms and cloud streaming services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. We adhere to the same accounting policies in the preparation of our interim financial statements. As permitted under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions when appropriate. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011.
Discontinued Operations
In February 2010, we completed the sale to SYNNEX Corporation ("Synnex") of our Jack of all Games third party distribution business, which primarily distributed third party interactive entertainment software, hardware and accessories in North America. The financial information of our distribution business has been classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all of the periods presented. See Note 2 for additional information regarding discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company's continuing operations.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months

TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 we had $28,484 and $20,091, respectively, of cash on deposit reported as a component of prepaid expenses and other in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because its use was restricted.
The estimated fair value of the Company's Convertible Notes (defined in Note 9) is $108,914 as of September 30, 2011. The fair value was determined using observable market data for the Convertible Notes and its embedded option feature.
We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant sales and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies. From time to time, we use forward exchange contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency assets and liabilities consisting primarily of cash balances and certain non-functional currency denominated inter-company funding loans, non-functional currency denominated accounts receivable and non-functional currency denominated accounts payable. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We do not designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedging instruments and accordingly, we mark to market our foreign currency forward contracts each period and any gains and losses are recognized in net income (loss). At September 30, 2011, we had forward contracts outstanding to purchase $2,339 of foreign currency in exchange for U.S. dollars and to purchase $53,856 of U.S. dollars in exchange for foreign currencies with maturities of less than one year. The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts was immaterial as of September 30, 2011. At March 31, 2011, we had forward contracts outstanding to purchase $2,399 of foreign currency in exchange for U.S. dollars and to purchase $35,539 of U.S. dollars in exchange for foreign currencies with maturities of less than one year. The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts was immaterial as of March 31, 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a loss of $180 and a loss of $4,369, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a gain of $237 and a loss of $5,221, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted new guidance related to the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new rules amend the existing guidance for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements
On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted new guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements by excluding tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality. The adoption of this

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Testing Goodwill for Impairment
On September 30, 2011, the Company adopted new guidance related to testing goodwill for impairment effective for the Company's annual impairment test as of August 1, 2011. This new guidance permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is determined through the qualitative assessment that a reporting unit's fair value is more likely than not greater than its carrying value, the remaining impairment steps would be unnecessary. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing entities to go directly to the quantitative assessment. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. However, early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The early adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, new guidance was issued related to the presentation of comprehensive income. The main provisions of the new guidance provide that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income as (i) a single statement that presents the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income or (ii) in two separate but consecutive statements, whereby an entity must present the components of net income and total net income in the first statement and that statement is immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income. The new rules eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. These new rules are to be applied retrospectively and become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (April 1, 2012 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In February 2010, we completed the sale of our Jack of all Games third party distribution business, which primarily distributed third party interactive entertainment software, hardware and accessories in North America, for approximately $44,000, including $37,250 in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments, and up to an additional $6,750 subject to the achievement of certain items, which were not met. In April 2011, we settled on the purchase adjustments and as a result the purchase price was lowered by $1,475. Consequently, the net purchase price after the settlement was $35,775. The sale has allowed us to focus our resources on our publishing operations. The financial information of our

3. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
In March 2007, we entered into a management services agreement (as amended, the "Management Agreement") with ZelnickMedia Corporation ("ZelnickMedia"), whereby ZelnickMedia provides us with certain management, consulting and executive level services. Strauss Zelnick, the President of ZelnickMedia, serves as our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Karl Slatoff, a partner of ZelnickMedia, serves as our Chief Operating Officer. In May 2011, we entered into a new management agreement (the "New Management Agreement") with ZelnickMedia pursuant to which ZelnickMedia will continue to provide management, consulting and executive level services to the Company through May 2015. As part of the New Management Agreement, Mr. Zelnick serves as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Slatoff serves as Chief Operating Officer. In September 2011, the New Management Agreement, which upon effectiveness, superseded and replaced the Management Agreement was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting. The New Management Agreement provides for the annual management fee to remain at $2,500, subject to annual increases in the amount of 3% over the term of the agreement, and the maximum annual bonus was increased to $3,500 from $2,500, subject to annual increases in the amount of 3% over the term of the agreement, based on the Company achieving certain performance thresholds. In consideration for ZelnickMedia's services, we recorded consulting expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) of $1,187 and $1,250 for the three months ended

3. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Continued)
September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2,125 and $3,021 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, in August 2007, we issued stock options to ZelnickMedia to acquire 2,009,075 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $14.74 per share, which vested over 36 months and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Each month, we remeasured the fair value of the unvested portion of such options and recorded compensation expense for the difference between total earned compensation at the end of the period and total earned compensation at the beginning of the period. As a result, changes in the price of our common stock impacted compensation expense or benefit recognized from period to period. We recorded stock-based compensation related to this option grant of $584 and $1,565 for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
In June 2008, pursuant to the Management Agreement, we granted 600,000 shares of restricted stock to ZelnickMedia that vested annually over a three year period and 900,000 shares of market-based restricted stock that vest over a four year period through 2012, provided that the price of our common stock outperforms 75% of the companies in the NASDAQ Industrial Index measured annually on a cumulative basis. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a benefit of $20 and an expense of $300, respectively, of stock-based compensation (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to these grants of restricted stock. For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded an expense of $507 and $385, respectively, of stock-based compensation (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to these grants of restricted stock.
In addition, pursuant to the New Management Agreement, we granted 1,100,000 shares of restricted stock to ZelnickMedia that will vest annually through April 1, 2015 and 1,650,000 shares of market-based restricted stock that vest through April 1, 2015, provided that the price of our common stock outperforms 75% of the companies in the NASDAQ Composite Index measured annually on a cumulative basis. For the three months and six months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded an expense of $332 of stock-based compensation (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to these grants of restricted stock.
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
- •
- Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- •
- Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
- •
- Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

9. LONG-TERM DEBT
Credit Agreement
In July 2007, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Existing Credit Agreement") which provided for borrowings of up to $140,000 and was secured by substantially all of our assets and the equity of our subsidiaries. Revolving loans under the Existing Credit Agreement bore interest at our election of (a) 2.00% to 2.50% above a certain base rate with a minimum 6.00% base rate (8.00% at September 30, 2011), or (b) 3.25% to 3.75% above the LIBOR Rate with a minimum 4.00% LIBOR Rate (7.25% at September 30, 2011), with the margin rate subject to the achievement of certain average liquidity levels. We were also required to pay a monthly fee on the unused available balance, ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%. We had no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

We recorded interest expense and fees related to the Existing Credit Agreement of $439 and $441 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $875 and $897 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The Existing Credit Agreement contained covenants that substantially limited us and our subsidiaries' ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of their respective properties; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions (each subject to certain limitations). In addition, the Existing Credit Agreement provided for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, default on indebtedness held by third parties and default on certain material contracts (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). The Existing Credit Agreement also contained a requirement that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of more than one to one for the trailing twelve month period, if the liquidity of our domestic operations falls below $30,000 (including available borrowings under the credit facility), based on a 30-day average. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the Existing Credit Agreement.
In October 2011, we amended the Existing Credit Agreement by entering into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which provides for borrowings of up to $100,000, which may be increased by up to $40,000 pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the equity of our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement expires on October 17, 2016. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at our election of (a) 1.50% to 2.00% above a certain base rate, or (b) 2.50% to 3.00% above the LIBOR Rate, with the margin rate subject to the achievement of certain average liquidity levels. We are also required to pay a monthly fee on the unused available balance, ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% based on availability.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that substantially limit us and our subsidiaries' ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of their respective properties; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions (each subject to certain limitations); or optionally prepay any indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions, including an exception permitting the redemption of the Company's unsecured convertible senior notes ("Convertible Notes") upon the meeting of certain minimum liquidity requirements). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, default on indebtedness held by third parties and default on certain material contracts (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). The Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of more than one to one for the trailing twelve month

Convertible Notes
In June 2009, we issued $138,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Convertible Notes due 2014. The issuance of the Convertible Notes included $18,000 related to the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1st and December 1st of each year, and commenced on December 1, 2009. The Convertible Notes mature on June 1, 2014, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted.
The Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 93.6768 shares of our common stock per $1 principal amount of Convertible Notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $10.675 per share of common stock for a total of approximately 12,927,000 underlying conversion shares) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may convert the Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2013 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 31, 2009, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; (3) if we call the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the third scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after December 1, 2013 until the close of business on the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock.
At any time on or after June 5, 2012, the Company may redeem all of the outstanding Convertible Notes for cash, but only if the last reported sale of our common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date we provide notice of redemption to holders of the Convertible Notes exceeds 150% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus all accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company, holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

The indenture governing the Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an event of default (as defined therein) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) on all the Convertible Notes to be due and payable. In the case of an event of default arising out of certain bankruptcy events, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), on the Convertible Notes will automatically become due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that may be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated; junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries.
In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions which are expected to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. The convertible note hedge transactions allow the Company to receive shares of its common stock related to the excess conversion value that it would convey to the holders of the Convertible Notes upon conversion. The transactions include options to purchase approximately 12,927,000 shares of common stock at $10.675 per share, expiring on June 1, 2014, for a total cost of approximately $43,600, which was charged to additional paid-in capital.
Separately, the Company entered into a warrant transaction with a strike price of $14.945 per share. The warrants will be net share settled and will cover approximately 12,927,000 shares of the Company's common stock and expire on August 30, 2014, for total proceeds of approximately $26,300, which was credited to additional paid-in capital.
A portion of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering was used to pay the net cost of the convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the warrants). We recorded approximately $3,410 of banking, legal and accounting fees related to the issuance of the Convertible Notes which were capitalized as debt issuance costs and will be amortized to interest and other, net over the term of the Convertible Notes.

10. LEGAL AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS
Various lawsuits, claims, proceedings and investigations are pending involving us and certain of our subsidiaries, certain of which are described below in this section. Depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect our business or financial statements. We have appropriately accrued amounts related to certain legal and other proceedings discussed below. While it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred in excess of the amounts accrued in our financial statements, we believe that such losses, unless otherwise disclosed, would not be material. In addition to the matters described herein, we are, or may become, involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of business which we do not believe to be material to our business or financial statements.
Wilamowsky v. Take-Two et al. On September 29, 2010, an individual claiming to be a shareholder of Take-Two filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "SDNY Court") against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer, and three former directors. Wilamowsky alleged that he sold short shares of Take-Two stock between March 2004 and July 2006, and as a result of alleged misstatements regarding stock options backdating, the Company's stock price remained at artificially high levels during that period. Wilamowsky claims he was therefore forced to cover his short sales with purchases of Take-Two stock at prices that were higher than the true value of those shares. The Complaint alleges against all defendants violations of §10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. In addition, the Complaint alleges violations §20(a) of the Exchange Act against our former Chief Executive Officer. Wilamowsky's claims arise from the same allegations of stock options backdating that were alleged inIn re Take-Two Interactive Securities Litigation, a class action that was previously settled and dismissed on October 19, 2010, and from which settlement Wilamowsky, as a short seller, was excluded.
On November 17, 2010, the Company and the individual defendants sought leave to file motions to dismiss all of Wilamowsky's claims, in accordance with the presiding judge's individual rules. A pre-motion hearing to address defendants' request was held on December 14, 2010, at which the requested leave was granted, and on January 14, 2011 defendants filed their motions. The matter was fully briefed as of January 28, 2011. On September 30, 2011, the SDNY Court granted the Company's and the individual defendants' motions to dismiss, dismissing all of Plaintiff's claims with prejudice.

Diluted EPS | $ | (0.57 | ) | $ | 0.04 | $ | (0.68 | ) | $ | 0.35 | |||||
The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011; therefore, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude the impact of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock and all common stock equivalents because their impact would be antidilutive.
Our unvested restricted stock rights (including restricted stock units, time-based and market-based restricted stock awards) are considered participating restricted stock since these securities have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the contractual period of the award, and thus require the two-class method of computing EPS. The calculation of EPS for common stock shown above excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock rights from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those awards from the denominator. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, we had 4,651,000 of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock which are excluded due to the net loss for those periods.
The Company defines common stock equivalents as unexercised stock options, common stock equivalents underlying the Convertible Notes (see Note 9) and warrants outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are measured using the treasury stock method, except for the Convertible Notes, which are assessed for their impact on diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the if-converted method. Under the provisions of the if-converted method, the Convertible

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ("EPS") (Continued)
Notes are assumed to be converted and included in the denominator of the EPS calculation and the interest expense, net of tax, recorded in connection with the Convertible Notes is added back to the numerator.
In connection with the issuance of our Convertible Notes in June 2009, the Company purchased convertible note hedges (see Note 9) which were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their impact is always considered antidilutive since the call option would be exercised by the Company when the exercise price is lower than the market price. Also in connection with the issuance of our Convertible Notes, the Company entered into warrant transactions (see Note 9). For the three months and six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company excluded the warrants outstanding from its diluted EPS because the warrants' strike price of $14.945 was greater than the average market price of our common stock.
Other common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted EPS calculation were unexercised stock option awards of approximately 2,299,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 because their effect would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company excluded from its diluted EPS calculation approximately 2,475,000 of common stock equivalents which were antidilutive because the common stock equivalents' exercise prices exceeded the average fair market value of the Company's common stock.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, we issued approximately 68,000 and 144,000 shares, respectively, of common stock in connection with restricted stock awards. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, we canceled 58,000 and 108,000 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted stock awards.
12. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
We operate in one reportable segment in which we are a publisher of interactive software games designed for video game consoles, personal computers, handheld devices and digital distribution. Our reporting segment is based upon our internal organizational structure, the manner in which our operations are managed and the criteria used by our Chief Executive Officer, our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate performance. The Company's operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. We are centrally managed and the CODM primarily uses consolidated financial information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform to make operational decisions and assess financial performance. Our business consists of our Rockstar Games and 2K labels which have been aggregated into a single reportable segment (the "publishing segment") based upon their similar economic characteristics, products and distribution methods. Revenue earned from our publishing segment is primarily derived from the sale of internally developed software titles and software titles developed on our behalf by third-parties.

Our Business
We are a leading developer, marketer and publisher of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. The Company develops and publishes products through its two wholly-owned labels Rockstar Games and 2K, which publishes its titles under the 2K Games, 2K Sports and 2K Play brands. Our products are designed for console systems, handheld gaming systems and personal computers, including smart phones and tablets, and are delivered through physical retail, digital download, online platforms and cloud streaming services. In July 2011, we launched our first social gaming experience,Sid Meier's Civilization World, for Facebook. The global installed base for the prior generation of platforms, including Sony's Play Station®2 ("PS2") and Nintendo's DS™ ("DS") ("prior generation platforms") is substantial. The release of Sony's Playstation®3 ("PS3"), Microsoft's Xbox 360® ("XBox 360"), and Nintendo's Wii™ ("Wii") platforms ("current generation platforms") has further expanded the video game software market. We are continuing to increase the number of titles released on the current generation platforms while also selectively developing titles for certain prior generation platforms such as PS2 and DS given their significant installed base, as long as it is economically attractive to do so. We have pursued a strategy of capitalizing on the widespread market acceptance of interactive entertainment, as well as the growing popularity of innovative action, adventure, racing, role-playing, sports and strategy games that appeal to the expanding demographic of video game players.
We endeavor to be the most creative, innovative and efficient company in our industry. Our strategy is to capitalize on the widespread popularity of interactive entertainment by focusing on publishing a select number of high quality titles for which we can create sequels and build successful franchises. We develop most of our frontline products internally and own the intellectual property associated with the majority of them, which we believe best positions us financially and competitively. We have established a portfolio of proprietary software content for the major hardware platforms in a wide range of genres including action, adventure, racing, role-playing, sports and strategy, which we
19
distribute world-wide. We believe that our commitment to creativity and innovation is a distinguishing strength, allowing us to differentiate many of our products in the marketplace by combining advanced technology with compelling storylines and characters that provide unique gameplay experiences for consumers. We have created, acquired or licensed a group of highly recognizable brands to match the variety of consumer demographics we aspire to serve, ranging from adults to children and game enthusiasts to casual gamers.
Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of internally developed software titles and software titles developed by third parties for our benefit. Operating margins are dependent in part upon our ability to continually release new, commercially successful products and to manage software product development costs. We have internal development studios located in Australia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
We expect Rockstar Games, our wholly-owned publisher of theGrand Theft Auto,Midnight Club,Red Dead and other popular franchises, to continue to be a leader in the action product category and create groundbreaking entertainment by leveraging our existing titles as well as developing new brands. Software titles published by our Rockstar Games label are primarily internally developed. We believe that Rockstar has established a uniquely original, popular cultural phenomenon with itsGrand Theft Auto series and continues to expand on our established franchises by releasing sequels as well as offering downloadable episodes and content. In May 2011, Rockstar released the commercially successful and critically acclaimedL.A. Noire for Xbox 360 and PS3, which became the first video game ever chosen as an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival. Rockstar has released several downloadable content packs to support the title. Rockstar is also well known for developing brands in other genres, including theBully,Manhunt andMax Payne franchises.
2K Games has published a variety of popular entertainment properties across multiple genres and platforms and we expect 2K Games to continue to develop new and successful franchises in the future. 2K Games' internally owned and developed franchises include the critically acclaimed, multi-million unit sellingBioShock,Mafia, andSid Meier's Civilization series. 2K Games has also published titles that were externally developed, such asThe Darkness, Duke Nukem Forever andBorderlands, which has become another key franchise for 2K Games since its launch in October 2009.
Our 2K Sports series, which includesMajor League Baseball 2K andNBA 2K, provides annual revenue streams since they are generally published on a yearly basis. We develop most of our 2K Sports software titles through our internal development studios including theMajor League Baseball 2K series,NBA 2K series and ourTop Spin tennis series. 2K Sports has secured long-term, third party exclusive licensing relationships with Major League Baseball Properties, the Major League Baseball Players Association and Major League Baseball Advanced Media. In addition, 2K Sports has secured a licensing agreement with the National Basketball Association ("NBA").
2K Play focuses on developing and publishing titles for the casual and family-friendly games market. 2K Play titles are developed by both internal development studios and third party developers. Internally developed titles includeCarnival Games andBirthday Party Bash. 2K Play also has a partnership with Nickelodeon to publish video games based on its top rated Nick Jr. titles such asDora the Explorer;Go, Diego, Go!;Ni Hao, Kai-lan andThe Backyardigans. We expect family-oriented gaming to continue to be a component of our business in the future.
We also have expansion initiatives in the Asia-Pacific markets, where our strategy is to broaden the distribution of our existing products, expand our business in Japan, and establish an online gaming presence, especially in China and Korea.

Discontinued operations
In February 2010, we completed the sale to SYNNEX Corporation ("Synnex") of our Jack of all Games third-party distribution business, which primarily distributed third-party interactive entertainment software, hardware and accessories in North America for approximately $44.0 million, including $37.3 million in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments, and up to an additional $6.7 million, subject to the achievement of certain items, which were not met. In April 2011, we settled on the purchase price adjustments and as a result the purchase price was lowered by $1.5 million. Consequently, the net purchase price after the settlement was $35.8 million. The financial information of our distribution business has been classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all of the periods presented. See Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
Trends and Factors Impacting our Business
Product Release Schedule. Our financial results are affected by the timing of our product releases and the commercial success of those titles. OurGrand Theft Auto products in particular have historically accounted for a substantial portion of our revenue. Sales ofGrand Theft Auto products generated approximately 11.8% of the Company's net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The timing of ourGrand Theft Auto releases varies significantly, which in turn may impact our financial performance on a quarterly and annual basis.
Economic Environment and Retailer Performance. We continue to monitor economic conditions which may have unfavorable impacts on our businesses, such as deteriorating consumer demand, pricing pressure on our products, credit quality of our receivables, and foreign currency exchange rates. Our business is dependent upon a limited number of customers who account for a significant portion of our revenue. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 49.5% and 48.4% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, amounts due from our five largest customers comprised approximately 61.5% and 54.2% of our gross accounts receivable balance, respectively, with our significant customers (those that individually comprised more than 10% of our gross accounts receivable balance) accounting for approximately 46.7% and 38.2% of such balance at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The economic environment has impacted our customers in the past, and may do so in the future. Bankruptcies or consolidations of our large retail customers could seriously hurt our business, due to uncollectible accounts receivables and the concentration of purchasing power among the remaining large retailers. Our business is also negatively impacted by the actions of certain of our large customers, who sell used copies of our games, which reduces demand for new copies of our games. We now offer downloadable episodes for certain of our titles. While this may serve to reduce some used game sales, we expect sales of used games to continue to affect our business.
Hardware Platforms. The majority of our products are made for the hardware platforms developed by three companies—Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Note 12 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, "Segment and Geographic Information," discloses that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo hardware platforms comprised approximately 90.4% of the Company's net revenue by product platform for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The success of our business is dependent upon the consumer acceptance of these platforms and the continued growth in the installed base of these platforms. When new hardware platforms are introduced, demand for software based on older platforms declines, which may negatively affect our business. Additionally, our development costs are generally higher for titles based on new platforms, and we have limited ability to predict the consumer acceptance of the new platforms, which may impact our sales and profitability. As a result, we believe it is important to focus our development efforts on a select number of titles, which is consistent with our strategy.
21
International Operations. Sales in international markets, primarily in Europe, have accounted for a significant portion of our revenue. Note 12 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, "Segment and Geographic Information," discloses that the United Kingdom and the Rest of Europe comprised approximately 36.6% of the Company's net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011. We have also expanded our Asian operations in an effort to increase our geographical scope and diversify our revenue base. We are subject to risks associated with foreign trade, including credit risks and consumer acceptance of our products and our financial results may be impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Online Content and Digital Distribution. The interactive entertainment software industry is delivering a growing amount of content through digital online delivery methods. We provide a variety of online delivered products and services. A number of our titles that are available through retailers as packaged goods products are also available through direct digital download through the Internet (from websites we own and others owned by third-parties). We also offer downloadable add-on content to our packaged goods titles. In addition, in July 2011, we launched our first social gaming experience,Sid Meier's Civilization World, for Facebook, and we have several initiatives underway to develop online games primarily for Asian markets. We expect online delivery of games and game services to become an increasing part of our business over the long-term.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our most critical accounting policies, which are those that require significant judgment, include: revenue recognition; allowances for returns, price concessions and other allowances; capitalization and recognition of software development costs and licenses; fair value estimates including inventory obsolescence, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets; valuation and recognition of
22
stock-based compensation; and income taxes. In-depth descriptions of these can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted new guidance related to the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new rules amend the existing guidance for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements
On April 1, 2011, the Company adopted new guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements by excluding tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Testing Goodwill for Impairment
On September 30, 2011, the Company adopted new guidance related to testing goodwill for impairment effective for the Company's annual impairment test as of August 1, 2011. This new guidance permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is determined through the qualitative assessment that a reporting unit's fair value is more likely than not greater than its carrying value, the remaining impairment steps would be unnecessary. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing entities to go directly to the quantitative assessment. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. However, early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The early adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, new guidance was issued related to the presentation of comprehensive income. The main provisions of the new guidance provide that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income as (i) a single statement that presents the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income or (ii) in two separate but consecutive statements, whereby an entity must present the components of net income and total net income in the first statement and that statement is immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income. The new rules eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. These new rules are to be applied retrospectively and become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (April 1, 2012 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Net revenue decreased $137.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to a $137.3 million decrease fromRed Dead Redemption, which released in May 2010,Mafia II, which released in August 2010, andSid Meier's Civilization® V, which released in September 2010. These decreases are partially offset by an $11.8 million increase fromL.A. Noire, which released in May 2011, andNicktoons MLB, which released in September 2011, as well as an increase in sales of ourGrand Theft Auto franchise of approximately $4.3 million.
Net revenue on current generation consoles accounted for approximately 72.8% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 which is in line with 73.1% for the prior year. PC sales decreased to approximately 14.4% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 19.4% for the prior year primarily due to the September 2010 release ofSid Meier's Civilization® V. Handheld sales increased to 7.9% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 5.3% for the prior year, primarily due to the impact of the decreased PC sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as discussed above.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year primarily due to higher product costs as a percentage of net revenue resulting from a greater share of net revenue having been generated from a product mix with lower selling price points.
Revenue earned outside of North America accounted for approximately $50.9 million (47.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $125.4 million (51.2%) in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease as a percentage of revenue earned outside of North America was primarily due to the global release ofMafia II in August 2010. Foreign exchange positively impacted net revenue by approximately $3.4 million and negatively impacted gross profit by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year.

Foreign currency exchange rates increased total operating expenses by approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year.
Selling and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses decreased $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the prior year primarily due to advertising expenses incurred in the prior year for the release ofMafia II in August 2010.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses were in line for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include occupancy expense (primarily rent, utilities and office expenses) of $3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to our development studios.
Research and development
Research and development expenses decreased $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in personnel costs due to higher payroll capitalization rates at our development studios and a $0.8 million decrease in production expenses.
Interest and other, net
Interest and other, net was an expense of $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to an expense of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to a foreign exchange transaction loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $0.3 million as compared to a foreign exchange transaction gain for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $2.2 million in our foreign subsidiaries.
Provision for income taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, income tax expense was $1.4 million, compared to income tax expense of $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in
26
tax expense was primarily attributable to lower taxable earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances and changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits during the periods.
We are regularly audited by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Audits may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe that our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments.
Discontinued operations
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, reflects the results of our former distribution business for which net assets were sold in February 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the net loss was $0.1 million as compared to a net loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to $4.8 million in costs associated with a liability for a lease assumption without economic benefit less estimates of sublease income.
Net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our net loss was $47.4 million, as compared to net income of $3.3 million in the prior year. Net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.57 as compared to net income per share of $0.04 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Weighted average shares outstanding decreased compared to the prior year, primarily due to the inclusion of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock due to net income generated during the three months ended September 30, 2010 offset, in part, by the vesting of restricted stock awards over the last twelve months.

Net revenue decreased $178.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to a $370.6 million decrease fromRed Dead Redemption, which released in May 2010, andMafia II, which released in August 2010 as well as a decrease in sales of ourGrand Theft Auto franchise of approximately $35.6 million. These decreases are partially offset by a $246.8 million increase from the releases ofL.A. Noire in May 2011 andDuke Nukem Forever in June 2011.
27
Net revenue on current generation consoles accounted for approximately 86.0% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 84.5% for the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the September 2010 release ofSid Meier's Civilization® V on the PC. PC sales decreased to approximately 9.0% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 10.3% for the prior year primarily due to the September 2010 release ofSid Meier's Civilization® V. Handheld sales decreased to 3.1% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 3.5% for the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in sales ofGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which released on the PSP in October 2009 and the Nintendo DS in March 2009.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue decreased for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year. Product costs increased as a percentage of net revenue as a result of a greater share of net revenue being generated from a product mix with lower selling price points. Software development costs and royalties increased as a percentage of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as we incurred higher royalty costs primarily associated with the May 2011 release ofL.A. Noire and the June 2011 release ofDuke Nukem Forever, which were externally developed. Partially offsetting the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue is lower internal royalty expense, which was primarily due to higher income generated in the prior year from the release ofRed Dead Redemption in May 2010.
Revenue earned outside of North America accounted for approximately $211.6 million (47.9%) for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $294.6 million (47.5%) in the prior year. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue earned outside of North America was primarily due the global releases ofL.A. Noire in May 2011 andDuke Nukem Forever in June 2011. Foreign exchange increased net revenue and gross profit by approximately $20.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year.

Foreign currency exchange rates increased total operating expenses by approximately $6.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year.
Selling and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses increased $7.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in advertising expenses incurred for the releases ofL.A. Noire in May 2011 andDuke Nukem Forever in June 2011 partially
28
offset by advertising expenses incurred in the prior year for the release ofRed Dead Redemption in May 2010 andMafia II in August 2010. Also contributing to the increase in selling and marketing expenses is a $1.9 million increase in personnel costs primarily due to increased headcount.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year primarily due to $2.5 million of income resulting from a favorable legal settlement in the prior year and $1.0 million of costs associated with a net liability for a lease assumption without economic benefit during the six months ended September 30, 2011.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include occupancy expense (primarily rent, utilities and office expenses) of $7.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, related to our development studios.
Research and development
Research and development expenses decreased $1.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in production expenses partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in personnel-related costs.
Interest and other, net
Interest and other, net was an expense of $8.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to an expense of $6.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to a foreign exchange transaction loss for the six months ended September 30, 2011 of $0.1 million as compared to a foreign exchange transaction gain for the six months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.0 million in our foreign subsidiaries.
Provision for income taxes
For the six months ended September 30, 2011, income tax expense was $4.5 million, compared to income tax expense of $6.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in tax expense was primarily attributable to lower taxable earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions during the six months ended September 30, 2011.
Our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances and changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits during the periods.
For the six months ended September 30, 2011, gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1.5 million, which primarily related to an increase in uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions offset by a decrease in interest and penalties of $0.1 million. We generally are no longer subject to audit for U.S. federal income tax returns for periods prior to our fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and state income tax returns for periods prior to fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. U.S. federal taxing authorities have completed examinations of our income tax returns through the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and commenced their audit of fiscal years ending October 31, 2008 and 2009. Certain U.S. state taxing authorities are currently examining our income tax returns from fiscal years ended October 31, 2004 through October 31, 2006. In addition, tax authorities in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions are currently examining our income tax returns. The determination as to further adjustments to our gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months is not practicable.
29
We are regularly audited by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Audits may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe that our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments.
Discontinued operations
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, reflects the results of our former distribution business for which net assets were sold in February 2010. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, the net loss was $0.2 million as compared to a net loss of $5.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010. The loss for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to $4.8 million in costs associated with a liability for a lease assumption without economic benefit less estimates of sublease income.
Net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share
For the six months ended September 30, 2011, our net loss was $56.1 million, as compared to net income of $29.7 million in the prior year. Net loss per share for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.68 as compared to net income per share of $0.35 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. Weighted average shares outstanding decreased compared to the prior year, primarily due to the inclusion of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock due to net income generated during the six months ended September 30, 2010 offset, in part, by the vesting of restricted stock awards over the last twelve months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements have been to fund (i) the development, manufacturing and marketing of our published products, (ii) working capital, (iii) acquisitions and (iv) capital expenditures. We expect to rely on funds provided by our operating activities, our credit agreement and our Convertible Notes to satisfy our working capital needs.
In June 2009, we issued $138.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% convertible senior notes due 2014 ("Convertible Notes"). Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and commenced on December 1, 2009. The Convertible Notes mature on June 1, 2014, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted.
The Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 93.6768 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $10.675 per share of common stock for a total of approximately 12,927,000 underlying conversion shares) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may convert the Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2013 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 31, 2009, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; (3) if we call the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the third scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after December 1, 2013 until the close of business on the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible
30
Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.
At any time on or after June 5, 2012, the Company may redeem all of the outstanding Convertible Notes for cash, but only if the last reported sale of our common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date we provide notice of redemption to holders of the Convertible Notes exceeds 150% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus all accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes.
In July 2007, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Existing Credit Agreement") which provided for borrowings of up to $140.0 million and was secured by substantially all of our assets and the equity of our subsidiaries. Revolving loans under the Existing Credit Agreement bore interest at our election of (a) 2.00% to 2.50% above a certain base rate with a minimum 6.00% base rate (8.00% at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011), or (b) 3.25% to 3.75% above the LIBOR Rate with a minimum 4.00% LIBOR Rate (7.25% at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011). We were also required to pay a monthly fee on the unused available balance, ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, based on amounts borrowed.
Availability under the Existing Credit Agreement was restricted by our domestic and United Kingdom based accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Existing Credit Agreement also allowed for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million.
As of September 30, 2011 there were no outstanding borrowings and $62.2 million was available to borrow. We had $1.7 million of letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2011.
The Existing Credit Agreement contained covenants that substantially limited us and our subsidiaries' ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of their respective properties; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions (each subject to certain limitations). In addition, the Existing Credit Agreement provided for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, default on indebtedness held by third parties and default on certain material contracts (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). The Existing Credit Agreement also contained a requirement that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of more than one to one for the trailing twelve month period, if the liquidity of our domestic operations falls below $30.0 million (including available borrowings under the credit facility), based on a 30-day average. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the Existing Credit Agreement.
In October 2011, we amended the Existing Credit Agreement by entering into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million, which may be increased by up to $40.0 million pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the equity of our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement expires on October 17, 2016. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at our election of (a) 1.50% to 2.00% above a certain base rate, or (b) 2.50% to 3.00% above the LIBOR Rate, with the margin rate subject to the achievement of certain average liquidity levels. We are also required to pay a monthly fee on the unused available balance, ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% based on availability.
31
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that substantially limit us and our subsidiaries' ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of their respective properties; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions (each subject to certain limitations); or optionally prepay any indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions, including an exception permitting the redemption of the Company's unsecured convertible senior notes ("Convertible Notes") upon the meeting of certain minimum liquidity requirements). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, default on indebtedness held by third parties and default on certain material contracts (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). The Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of more than one to one for the trailing twelve month period, if the liquidity of our domestic operations falls below $30.0 million (including available borrowings under the credit facility), based on a 30-day average period preceding the last day of any fiscal quarter.
Availability under the Credit Agreement is restricted by our domestic and United Kingdom based accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Credit Agreement also allows for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million.
We are subject to credit risks, particularly if any of our receivables represent a limited number of customers or are concentrated in foreign markets. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they become due, it could adversely affect our liquidity and working capital position.
Generally, we have been able to collect our accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. We do not hold any collateral to secure payment from customers. We have trade credit insurance on the majority of our customers to mitigate accounts receivable risk.
A majority of our trade receivables are derived from sales to major retailers and distributors. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 49.5% and 48.4% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, amounts due from our five largest customers comprised approximately 61.5% and 54.2% of our gross accounts receivable balance, respectively, with our significant customers (those that individually comprised more than 10% of our gross accounts receivable balance) accounting for approximately 46.7% and 38.2% of such balance at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. We believe that the receivable balances from these largest customers do not represent a significant credit risk based on past collection experience, although we actively monitor each customer's credit worthiness and economic conditions that may impact our customers' business and access to capital. We are monitoring the current global economic conditions, including credit markets and other factors as it relates to our customers in order to manage the risk of uncollectible accounts receivable.
We have entered into various agreements in the ordinary course of business that require substantial cash commitments over the next several years. Other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, there were no material agreements requiring known cash commitments entered into during the six months ended September 30, 2011.
We believe our current cash and cash equivalents and projected cash flow from operations, along with availability under our Credit Agreement will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and commitments through at least the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2011, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries was approximately $159.3 million. These balances are dispersed across various locations around the world. We believe that such dispersion meets our business and liquidity needs of our foreign affiliates. In addition, the Company expects in the foreseeable future to have the ability to
32
generate sufficient cash domestically to support ongoing operations. Consequently, it is the Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. In the event the Company needed to repatriate funds outside of the U.S., such repatriation may be subject to local laws and tax consequences including foreign withholding taxes or U.S. income taxes. It is not practicable to estimate the tax liability and the Company would try to minimize the tax impact to the extent possible. However, any repatriation may not result in actual cash payments as the taxable event would likely be offset by the utilization of the then available net operating losses and tax credits.
Our changes in cash flows are as follows:
| Six Months Ended Sept 30, | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(thousands of dollars) | 2011 | 2010 | ||||||
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | (10,232 | ) | $ | 65,247 | |||
Cash used in investing activities | (6,255 | ) | (3,599 | ) | ||||
Cash provided by financing activities | 195 | 87 | ||||||
Effects of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents | 5,673 | (2,754 | ) | |||||
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (10,619 | ) | $ | 58,981 | |||
At September 30, 2011 we had $269.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $280.4 million at March 31, 2011. Our decrease in cash and cash equivalents from March 31, 2011 was primarily a result of cash used for operating activities and investing activities partially offset by the effect of exchange rates.
Cash used for operating activities was primarily due to our net loss of $56.1 million and increased inventory purchases related to the releases ofL.A. Noire in May 2011,Duke Nukem Forever in June 2011 andNBA 2K12 in October 2011 offset by the collection of customer receivables. Cash used for investing activities was primarily due to capital expenditures. Cash and cash equivalents were positively impacted by $5.7 million during the six months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of foreign currency exchange movements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial parties, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
International Operations
Net revenue earned outside of the United States is principally generated by our operations in Europe, Canada, Australia, Latin America and Asia. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 51.6% and 56.9%, respectively, of our net revenue was earned outside of the United States. For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 53.8% and 52.7%, respectively, of our net revenue was earned outside of the United States. We are subject to risks inherent in foreign trade, including increased credit risks, tariffs and duties, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, shipping delays and international political, regulatory and economic developments, all of which can have a significant impact on our operating results.
33
Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results and Seasonality
We have experienced fluctuations in quarterly operating results as a result of the timing of the introduction of new titles; variations in sales of titles developed for particular platforms; market acceptance of our titles; development and promotional expenses relating to the introduction of new titles; sequels or enhancements of existing titles; projected and actual changes in platforms; the timing and success of title introductions by our competitors; product returns; changes in pricing policies by us and our competitors; the accuracy of retailers' forecasts of consumer demand; the size and timing of acquisitions; the timing of orders from major customers; and order cancellations and delays in product shipment. Sales of our titles are also seasonal, with higher shipments typically occurring in the fourth calendar quarter as a result of increased demand for titles during the holiday season. Quarterly comparisons of operating results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Historically, fluctuations in interest rates have not had a significant impact on our operating results. Under our Existing Credit Agreement, outstanding balances bear interest at our election of (a) 2.00% to 2.50% above a certain base rate with a minimum 6.00% base rate (8.00% at September 30, 2011), or (b) 3.25% to 3.75% above the LIBOR rate with a minimum 4.00% LIBOR Rate (7.25% at September 30, 2011), with the margin rate subject to the achievement of certain average liquidity levels. Changes in market rates may impact our future interest expense if there is an outstanding balance on our line of credit. The Convertible Notes pay interest semi-annually at a fixed rate of 4.375% per annum and we expect that there will be no fluctuation related to the Convertible Notes impacting our cash component of interest expense. For additional details on our Convertible Notes see Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We transact business in foreign currencies and are exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accounts relating to foreign operations are translated into United States dollars using prevailing exchange rates at the relevant quarter end. Translation adjustments are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, our foreign currency translation loss adjustment was approximately $9.2 million. We recognized a foreign exchange transaction loss in interest and other, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended September 30, 2011 of $0.1 million and a foreign exchange transaction gain for the six months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.0 million.
We use forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk related to foreign currency transactions. These transactions primarily relate to non-functional currency denominated inter-company funding loans, non-functional currency denominated accounts receivable and non-functional currency denominated accounts payable. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At September 30, 2011, we had forward contracts outstanding to purchase $2.3 million of foreign currency in exchange for U.S. dollars and to purchase $53.9 million of U.S. dollars in exchange for foreign currencies with maturities of less than one year. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a loss of $0.2 million and a loss of $4.4 million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a gain of $0.2 million and a loss of $5.2 million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the six months ended September 30, 2011, 53.8% of the Company's revenue was generated outside the United States. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the
34
U.S. dollar against all currencies would decrease revenues by 5.4%, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase revenues by 5.4%. In the opinion of management, a substantial portion of this fluctuation would be offset by cost of goods sold and operating expenses incurred in local currency.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Various lawsuits, claims, proceedings and investigations are pending involving us and certain of our subsidiaries. Depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect our business or financial statements. Except as noted below, there were no new material legal proceedings or material developments to the pending legal proceedings that have been previously reported in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. In addition to the matters reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we are, or may become, involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of business which we do not believe to be material to our business or financial statements.
Wilamowsky v. Take-Two et al. As described in Note 10 of Part I, on September 29, 2010, an individual claiming to be a shareholder of Take-Two filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "SDNY Court") against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer, and three former directors. Wilamowsky alleged that he sold short shares of Take-Two stock between March 2004 and July 2006, and as a result of alleged misstatements regarding stock options backdating, the Company's stock price remained at artificially high levels during that period. Wilamowsky claims he was therefore forced to cover his short sales with purchases of Take-Two stock at prices that were higher than the true value of those shares. The Complaint alleges against all defendants violations of §10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. In addition, the Complaint alleges violations §20(a) of the Exchange Act against our former Chief Executive Officer. Wilamowsky's claims arise from the same allegations of stock options backdating that were alleged inIn re Take-Two Interactive Securities Litigation, a class action that was previously settled and dismissed on October 19, 2010, and from which settlement Wilamowsky, as a short seller, was excluded.
35
On November 17, 2010, the Company and the individual defendants sought leave to file motions to dismiss all of Wilamowsky's claims, in accordance with the presiding judge's individual rules. A pre-motion hearing to address defendants' request was held on December 14, 2010, at which the requested leave was granted, and on January 14, 2011 defendants filed their motions. The matter was fully briefed as of January 28, 2011. On September 30, 2011, the SDNY Court granted the Company's and the individual defendants' motions to dismiss, dismissing all of Plaintiff's claims with prejudice.
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 other than the following.
The lockout by NBA owners could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.
The NBA players union and the owners of the NBA teams are currently renegotiating their collective bargaining agreement, which expired following the 2010-2011 basketball season. Sales of 2K's annually released basketball game could be adversely affected due to the players being locked out and the reduction in the number of games in, or cancellation of, the 2011-2012 basketball season.
