(Unaudited)

 

AccessIT was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. We provide fully managed storage, electronic delivery and software services and technology solutions for owners and distributors of digital content to movie theaters and other venues. In the past, we have generated revenues from two primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”) and internet data center (“IDC” or “data center”) services (“Data Center Services”) a business we no longer operated after May 1, 2007. Beginning April 1, 2007, we made changes to our organizational structure which impacted our reportable segments. These changes did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. From this point forward, we have realigned our focus to two primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”) and media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”). Our Media Services business provides software, services and technology solutions to the motion picture and television industries, primarily to facilitate the transition from analog (film) to digital cinema and has positioned us at what we believe to be the forefront of an emerging industry opportunity relating to the delivery and management of digital cinema and other content to entertainment and other remote venues worldwide. Our Content & Entertainment business provides motion picture exhibition to the general public and cinema advertising and film distribution services to movie exhibitors.

 

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AccessIT, Access Digital Media, Inc. (“AccessDM”), Hollywood Software, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Software (“AccessIT SW”), Core Technology Services, Inc. (“Managed Services”), FiberSat Global Services, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Satellite and Support Services, (“AccessIT Satellite”), ADM Cinema Corporation (“ADM Cinema”) d/b/a the Pavilion Theatre (the “Pavilion Theatre”), Christie/AIX, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Digital Cinema (“AccessIT DC”), PLX Acquisition Corp., UniqueScreen Media, Inc. (“USM”) d/b/a AccessIT Advertising and Creative Services (“ACS”) and Vistachiara Productions, Inc. d/b/a The Bigger Picture (“The Bigger Picture”). AccessDM and AccessIT Satellite will together be known as the Digital Media Services Division (“DMS”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s most significant estimates related to software revenue recognition, capitalization of software development costs, amortization and impairment testing of intangible assets and depreciation of fixed assets. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the carrying values of our fixed assets and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform to the current presentation.

 

The results of operations for the respective interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in AccessIT’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on June 29, 2007.

RESTATEMENT

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, in connection with the AccessIT SW Acquisition and the Managed Services Acquisition, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities totaling $1,605, with an offsetting increase to goodwill. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the Company determined that it was not appropriate to record the offsetting increase to goodwill, as the acquired taxable temporary differences are expected to reverse in the same period that pre-existing deductible temporary differences are expected to reverse.  Furthermore, a full valuation allowance has consistently been applied against the gross deferred tax assets related to such deductible temporary differences.  As such, the acquisition of taxable temporary differences should have resulted in a corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance, and not have given rise to a net deferred tax liability. The recording of these amounts had the effect of overstating assets and liabilities, and also understating the Company’s net losses, due to the amortization of the previously recorded net deferred tax liability that had been shown as an income tax benefit. Therefore, the Company revised its accounting for the transactions and restated its previously issued annual and interim consolidated financial statements to reduce the valuation allowance and reduce goodwill.

 

The following is a summary of the impact of the restatement on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the three months ended June 30, 2006:

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Media Services

 

Media Services revenues are generated as follows:

 

 

Software licensing revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred and no significant obligations remain, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable and (d) collection is determined to be probable. Significant upfront fees are received in addition to periodic amounts upon achievement of contractual events for licensing of the Company’s products. Such amounts are deferred until the revenue recognition criteria have been met, which typically occurs upon delivery and acceptance.

 

Revenues relating to customized software development contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

 

6

 

---

 

Deferred revenue is recorded in cases where: (1) a portion or the entire contract amount cannot be recognized as revenue, due to non-delivery or acceptance of licensed software or custom programming, (2) incomplete implementation of ASP Service arrangements, or (3) unexpired pro-rata periods of maintenance, minimum ASP Service fees or website subscription fees. As license fees, maintenance fees, minimum ASP Service fees and website subscription fees are often paid in advance, a portion of this revenue is deferred until the contract ends. Such amounts are classified as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies described above.

 

Managed Services’ revenues, which consist of monthly recurring billings pursuant to network monitoring and maintenance contracts, are recognized as revenues in the month earned, and other non-recurring billings are recognized on a time and materials basis as revenues in the period in which the services were provided.

 

Content & Entertainment

 

Content & Entertainment revenues are generated as follows:

 

 

Cinema advertising service revenue, and the associated direct selling, production and support cost, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the related advertising is displayed in-theatre, pursuant to the specific terms of each advertising contract. The Company has the right to receive or bill the entire amount of the advertising contract upon execution, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related advertising revenue and all direct costs actually incurred are deferred until such time as the advertising is displayed in-theatre.

 

The right to sell and display such advertising, or other in-theatre programs, products and services, is based upon advertising contracts with exhibitors which stipulate payment terms to such exhibitors for this right. Payment terms generally consist of either fixed annual payments or annual minimum guarantee payments, plus a revenue share of the excess of a percentage of advertising revenue over the minimum guarantee, if any. The Company recognizes the cost of fixed and minimum guarantee payments on a straight-line basis over each advertising contract year, and the revenue share cost, if any, as such obligations arise in accordance with the terms of the advertising contract.

 

Distribution fee revenue is recognized for the theatrical distribution of third party feature films and alternative content at the time of exhibition based on the Company’s participation in box office receipts. The Company has the right to receive or bill a portion of the theatrical distribution fee in advance of the exhibition date, and therefore such amount is recorded as a receivable at the time of execution, and all related distribution revenue is deferred until the third party feature films’ or alternative content’s theatrical release date.

 

Other

 

Other revenues, attributable to the Data Center Services segment, were generated as follows:

 

 

IDC revenues were recognized ratably over the term of the contract, generally one to nine years. Certain customer contracts contained periodic increases in the amount of license fees for data center space to be paid, and were recognized as license fee revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts. Installation fees were recognized on a time and materials basis in the period in which the services were provided and represent the culmination of the earnings process as no significant obligations remain. Amounts collected prior to satisfying revenue recognition criteria were classified as deferred revenue. Amounts satisfying revenue recognition criteria prior to billing were classified as unbilled revenue.

DIRECT OPERATING COSTS

 

Direct operating costs consists of facility operating costs such as rent, utilities, real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance and other related expenses, direct personnel costs, film rent expense, amortization of capitalized software development costs, exhibitor payments for displaying cinema advertising and other deferred expenses, such as advertising production, post production and technical support related to developing and displaying advertising. These other deferred expenses are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the same period as the related cinema advertising revenues are recognized.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 7. Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions) and recognize such cost in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

 

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method in which stock-based compensation cost is recognized beginning with the April 1, 2006 adoption date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after April 1, 2006 and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to April 1, 2006 that remain unvested on the adoption date. There were no unvested stock options as of March 31, 2006, as the compensation committee of the Board approved the acceleration of the vesting of all unvested stock options awarded under the Company’s stock incentive plans as of March 31, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, no stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the 436,747 stock options awarded in excess of the Company’s stock incentive plan, as such stock options were subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 14, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, stock-based compensation expense of $87 was recorded. The Company has estimated that the stock-based compensation expense, using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, related to current outstanding stock options will be approximately $300 in fiscal 2008.

 

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

Internal Use Software

 

The Company accounts for these software development costs under Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (“SOP 98-1”). SOP 98-1 states that there are three distinct stages to the software development process for internal use software. The first stage, the preliminary project stage, includes the conceptual formulation, design and testing of alternatives. The second stage, or the program instruction phase, includes the development of the detailed functional specifications, coding and testing. The final stage, the implementation stage, includes the activities associated with placing a software project into service. All activities included within the preliminary project stage would be considered research and development and expensed as incurred. During the program instruction phase, all costs incurred until the software is substantially complete and ready for use, including all necessary testing, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from three to ten years. We have not sold, leased or licensed software developed for internal use to our customers and we have no intention of doing so in the future.

 

Software to be Sold, Licensed or Otherwise Marketed

 

The Company accounts for these software development costs under SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS No. 86”). SFAS No. 86 states that software development costs that are incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized until the product is available for general release. Amounts capitalized as software development costs are amortized using the greater of revenues during the period compared to the total estimated revenues to be earned or on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from three to five years, except for DMS’ Theatre Command Center (“TCC”) proprietary software. Effective April 1, 2007, our TCC software development costs will be amortized using the greater of revenues during the period compared to the total estimated revenues to be earned or on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of ten years. The Company reviews capitalized software costs for impairment on a

 

8

 

---

periodic basis. To the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated net realizable value of the capitalized software cost, an impairment charge is recorded. No impairment charge was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software development costs, included in direct operating costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 amounted to $156 and $129, respectively. Revenues relating to customized software development contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method of accounting using the cost to date to the total estimated cost approach. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, unbilled receivables under such customized software development contracts aggregated $1,832 and $1,454, respectively.

 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”) and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and that certain intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized as assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination, whether acquired individually or with a group of other assets. This statement provides that intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment. If impairment is indicated, then the asset will be written down to its fair value, typically based upon its future expected discounted cash flows. As of June 30, 2007, our finite-lived intangible assets consisted of customer relationships and agreements, theatre relationships, covenants not to compete, trade names and trademarks, and Federal Communications Commission licenses (for satellite transmission services) which are estimated to have useful lives ranging from two to ten years. In addition, we have recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of AccessIT SW, Managed Services, AccessIT Satellite, the Pavilion Theatre, PLX, ACS and The Bigger Picture. In March 2007, it was determined that a deferred tax asset should have been recorded for the AccessIT SW Acquisition and the Managed Services Acquisition and goodwill was reduced by $1,605, as discussed previously. During June 2007, the unamortized balance of the liquor license (for the Pavilion Theatre) of $38 was expensed as the license expired and was not renewed. Additional information related to the segments of the Company and its subsidiaries can be found in Note 10.

 

DEPOSITS ON PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Deposits on property and equipment represent amounts paid when digital cinema projection systems (the “Systems”) are ordered from Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. (“Christie”) in connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out (see Note 8). These amounts are classified as long-term due to the nature of the assets underlying these deposits, although such deposits will be fully utilized against invoices from Christie within approximately six months from such payment date.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals, improvements and additions are capitalized.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis in order to identify business conditions, which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value (computed based upon the expected future discounted cash flows) and the carrying value of the assets.

 

NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Computations of basic and diluted net loss per share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock (“Class B Common Stock”), and together with the Class A Common Stock, (the

 

9

 

---

“Common Stock”) have been made in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic and diluted net loss per share have been calculated as follows:

 

 

Shares issued and reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they are outstanding.

 

The Company has incurred net losses for each of the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 and, therefore, the impact of dilutive potential common shares from outstanding stock options, warrants (prior to the application of the treasury stock method), and convertible notes (on an as-converted basis) were excluded from the computation as it would be anti-dilutive.

 

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to derivatives and other financial instruments measured at fair value under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) at initial recognition and in all subsequent periods. Therefore, SFAS 157 nullifies the guidance in footnote 3 of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (“EITF 02-3”). SFAS 157 also amends SFAS 133 to remove the similar guidance to that in EITF 02-3, which was added by SFAS 155. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. Any transition adjustment, measured as the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair values of those financial instruments at the date SFAS 157 is initially applied, should be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for the fiscal year in which SFAS 157 is initially applied. The Company is currently reviewing the impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and early adoption is permitted provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company is currently reviewing the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

In June 2006, the Company, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, PLX Acquisition Corp., purchased substantially all of the assets of PLX Systems Inc. (“PLX”). The results of PLX’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since June 1, 2006. PLX provides technology, expertise and core competencies in intellectual property (“IP”) rights and royalty management, expanding the Company’s ability to bring alternative forms of content, such as non-traditional feature films, to movie-goers in addition to supporting IP license contract management, royalty processing, revenue reporting and billing.

 

In July 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of USM (the “USM Acquisition”) for a combination of an aggregate of 974,184 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $1,000 in cash, and promissory notes issued by the Company in favor of the stockholders of USM (the “USM Stockholders”) in the principal amount of $5,204 (see Note 6). The results of USM’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since August 1, 2006. The Company also agreed to pay to the USM Stockholders additional purchase price, up to a maximum of $1,000 in cash or the equivalent of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, at

 

10

 

---

the Company’s sole discretion, if certain conditions are met. The Company also assumed $5,914 of USM’s debt, of which $5,598 relates to USM’s revolving credit facility (see Note 6).

 

In January 2007, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of BP/KTF, LLC, a subsidiary of privately-held Sabella Dern Entertainment (“BP/KTF”) for 460,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Bigger Picture Acquisition”). The results of Bigger Picture’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since February 1, 2007. The Company also agreed to pay BP/KTF additional purchase price in cash or the equivalent of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s sole discretion, if certain conditions are met.

 

The following pro forma information shows the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as though the above acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of that respective fiscal year. The pro forma information reflects adjustments for (i) depreciation and amortization of acquired tangible and intangible assets from the acquisitions, (ii) interest expense for promissory notes issued by the Company in favor of the USM Stockholders in the principal amount of $5,204 (see Note 6), and (iii) the full year impact of the issuance of 974,184 shares for the USM Acquisition and 460,000 shares for the Bigger Picture Acquisition. The pro forma financial information below is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions been completed as of the date indicated above or the results that may be obtained in the future.

 

 

 

Notes receivable consisted of the following:

 

 

In March 2006, in connection with our Digital Cinema Roll-Out, the Company issued to a certain motion picture exhibitor a 7.5% note receivable for $231 (the “Exhibitor Note”), in return for the Company’s payment for certain financed digital projectors. The Exhibitor Note requires monthly principal and interest payments through September 2010. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of the Exhibitor Note was $176.

 

In connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out (see Note 8), the Company agreed to provide financing to certain motion picture exhibitors upon the billing to the motion picture exhibitors by Christie for the installation costs associated with the placement of Systems in movie theatres. In April 2006, certain motion picture exhibitors agreed to issue to the Company two 8% notes receivable for an aggregate of $1,287 (the “Exhibitor Install Notes”). Under the Exhibitor Install Notes, the motion picture exhibitors are required to make monthly interest only payments through October 2007 and quarterly principal and interest payments thereafter through August 2009 and August 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, the aggregate outstanding balance of the Exhibitor Install Notes was $1,045.

 

Prior to the acquisition of USM, Theatre Information Systems, Ltd. (“TIS”), a developer of proprietary software, issued to USM a 4.5% note receivable for $100 (the “TIS Note”) to fund final modifications to certain proprietary software and the development and distribution of related marketing materials. Interest accrues monthly on the outstanding principal amount. The TIS Note and all the accrued interest is due in one lump-sum payment in April 2009. Provided that the TIS Note has not been previously repaid, the entire unpaid principal balance and any

 

11

 

---

accrued but unpaid interest may, at USM’s option, be converted into a 10% limited partnership interest in TIS. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of the TIS Note was $100.

 

 

Notes payable consisted of the following:

 

 

In November 2003, the Company issued two 5-year, 8% notes payable aggregating $3,000 (the “HS Notes”) to the founders of AccessIT SW as part of the purchase price for AccessIT SW. In March 2007, one of the holders of the HS Notes agreed to reduce their note by $150 for 30,000 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock and forego $150 of principal payments at the end of their note term. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repaid principal of $157 on the HS Notes. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the HS Notes was $1,037.

 

In March 2004, in connection with the Boeing Digital Asset Acquisition, the Company issued a 4-year, non-interest bearing note payable with a face amount of $1,800 (the “Boeing Note”). The estimated fair value of the Boeing Note was determined to be $1,367 on the closing date. Interest is being imputed, at a rate of 12%, over the term of the Boeing Note, and is being charged to non-cash interest expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repaid principal of $450 and non-cash interest expense resulting from the Boeing Note was $12. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of the Boeing Note, including imputed interest, was $414.

 

In July 2006, in connection with the USM Acquisition (see Note 4), the Company issued an 8% note payable in the principal amount of $1,204 (the “First USM Note”) and an 8% note payable in the principal amount of $4,000 (the “Second USM Note”), both in favor of the stockholders of USM. The First USM Note is payable in twelve equal quarterly installments commencing on October 1, 2006 until July 1, 2009. The Second USM Note was payable on November 30, 2006, or earlier if certain conditions were met, and was paid by the Company in October 2006. The First USM Note may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part without penalty provided that the Company pays all accrued and unpaid interest. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repaid principal of $93 on the First USM Note. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the First USM Note was $924.

 

Prior to the USM Acquisition (see Note 4), USM had purchased substantially all the assets of SilverScreen Advertising Incorporated (“SilverScreen”) and issued a 3-year, 4% note payable in the principal amount of $333 (the “SilverScreen Note”) as part of the purchase price for SilverScreen. The SilverScreen Note is payable in equal monthly installments until May 2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repaid principal of $27 on the SilverScreen Note. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the SilverScreen Note was $217.

 

In October 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued 8.5% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000 (the “October 2006 Private Placement”). The term of the Senior Notes is one year and may be extended for up to two 90-day periods at the discretion of the Company if certain market conditions are met. Interest on the Senior Notes will be paid on a quarterly basis in cash or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, in shares of its Class A Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). In addition, each quarter, the Company will issue shares of Class A Common Stock to the Purchasers as payment of

 

12

 

---

interest owed under the Senior Notes based on a formula (“Additional Interest”). The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the resale of any shares of its Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Senior Notes at any time and from time to time. The Company may prepay the Senior Notes in whole or in part, without penalty, subject to paying the Additional Interest. The net proceeds of approximately $20,962 from the October 2006 Private Placement is expected to be used for the expansion of the Company’s digital cinema rollout plans to markets outside of the United States, and any one or more of the following: (i) the payment of certain existing outstanding indebtedness of the Company due within twelve months of the issuance of the Senior Notes, (ii) working capital and (iii) other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Purchase Agreement also requires the Senior Notes to be guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), other than AccessIT DC and ACS and their respective subsidiaries. Accordingly, each of the Guarantors entered into a subsidiary guaranty (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”) with the Purchasers pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes.

 

In February 2007, the Company and the Purchasers of the Senior Notes agreed to amend the Senior Notes to: (i) remove the market conditions that would otherwise restrict the Company from extending the term of the Senior Notes for up to two 90-day periods, (ii) provide for an increase in the amount of permitted indebtedness the Company  may  incur, to  up to  $5,000, (iii) provide for additional interest to be paid in either cash or stock, at the Company’s option, if the average price of the Company’s stock falls below $7.00 during the 30 days before any quarterly interest due date , and (iv) provide an approximate 1% increase in the value of the Additional Interest Shares payable to the Purchasers annually. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Notes was $22,000.

 

In December 2006, in connection with the conversion of USM’s $7,500 revolving credit facility with Excel Bank (the “Excel Credit Facility”), ACS issued a 5-year, 8% term note payable to Excel Bank with a face amount of $6,750 (the “Excel Term Note”). Proceeds from the Excel Term Note were used to repay the Excel Credit Facility, to purchase advertising projection systems and for working capital. Interest is due monthly commencing January 1, 2007 and principal shall be paid in quarterly installments commencing April 1, 2007. The balance of the Excel Term Note, together with all unpaid interest is due on the maturity date of January 1, 2012. ACS may prepay at any time and time from time, all or any portion of the Excel Term Note, without penalty or premium. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repaid principal of $180 on the Excel Term Note. The Excel Term Note is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than ACS. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the Excel Term Note was $6,570. Under debt covenants contained in the Excel Term Note, ACS is required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2007, only one financial covenant was applicable and ACS was in compliance with this covenant.

 

In May 2007, the Company ordered additional Systems in connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out (see Note 8) from Christie for an estimated aggregate total purchase price of approximately $16,500, and in connection with this order, Christie provided $5,000 of vendor financing (the “Christie Note”). The Christie Note bears interest at 15% and may be prepaid without penalty. The Christie Note and all accrued interest is due and payable in July 2008. If the Christie Note is repaid in full by March 31, 2008, the interest rate becomes 8%, retroactive to the beginning of the note term. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the Christie Note was $5,000.

 

CREDIT FACILITY

 

In August 2006, AccessIT DC entered into an agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) pursuant to which GECC and certain other lenders agreed to provide to AccessIT DC a $217,000 Senior Secured Multi Draw Term Loan (the “GE Credit Facility”). Proceeds from the GE Credit Facility will be used for the purchase and installation of up to 70% of the aggregate purchase price, including all costs, fees or other expenses associated with the purchase acquisition, receipt, delivery, construction and installation of Systems in connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out (see Note 8) and to pay transaction fees and expenses related to the GE Credit Facility, and for certain other specified purposes. The remaining cost of the Systems is to be funded from other sources of capital including contributed equity. Each of the borrowings by AccessIT DC bears interest, at the option of AccessIT DC and subject to certain conditions, based on the bank prime loan rate in the United States or the Eurodollar rate, plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.50%, depending on, among other things, the type of rate chosen, the amount of equity contributed into AccessIT DC and the total debt of AccessIT DC. Under the GE Credit Facility, AccessIT DC must pay interest only through July 31, 2008. Beginning August 31, 2008, in addition to the interest payments, AccessIT DC must repay approximately 71.5% of the principal amount of the borrowings over a

five-year period with a balloon payment for the balance of the principal amount, together with all unpaid interest on such borrowings and any fees incurred by AccessIT DC pursuant to the GE Credit Facility on the maturity date of August 1, 2013. In addition, AccessIT DC may prepay borrowings under the GE Credit Facility in whole or in part, after July 31, 2007 and before August 1, 2010, subject to paying certain prepayment penalties ranging from 3% to 1%, depending on when the prepayment is made. The GE Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by each of AccessIT DC’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and secured by a first priority perfected security interest on all of the collective assets of AccessIT DC and the Guarantors, including real estate owned or leased, and all capital stock or other equity interests in AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions. The GE Credit Facility is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than AccessIT DC. As of June 30, 2007, $165,930 was borrowed under the GE Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 9.86%.

 

In August 2006, the GE Credit Facility was amended to allow borrowings by AccessIT DC to be in aggregate amounts not in exact multiples of $1,000.

 

Under debt covenants contained in the GE Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. Material covenants include a leverage and interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Through June 30, 2007, in connection with our Digital Cinema Roll-Out, we have entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with seven motion picture studios and a digital cinema agreement with one alternative content provider for the distribution of digital movie releases and alternate content to motion picture exhibitors equipped with Systems, and providing for payment of VPFs and ACFs to AccessIT DC. As of June 30, 2007, we have entered into master license agreements with eleven motion picture exhibitors for the placement of Systems in movie theatres covering a total of 3,441 screens (includes screens at AccessIT’s Pavilion Theatre) and we have installed 2,692 Systems.

 

As of June 30, 2007, AccessIT DC has ordered 2,901 of the Systems from Christie. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has paid $210,595 towards Systems ordered and installation costs incurred in connection with our Digital Cinema Roll-Out. AccessIT DC has agreed to provide financing to certain motion picture exhibitors upon the billing to the motion picture exhibitors by Christie for the installation costs associated with the placement of the Systems in movie theatres. The motion picture exhibitors would be required to make monthly interest only payments through October 2007 and quarterly principal and interest payments thereafter. Under a master license agreement with a certain motion picture exhibitor, the Company has agreed to pay the installation costs associated with the placement of the Systems in movie theatres directly to Christie on behalf of the motion picture exhibitor, up to $14,550, which is expected to be paid over the next year, and these installation costs will be included in the cost of property and equipment. As of June 30, 2007, AccessIT DC has paid $12,561 in such installation costs.

 

As of June 30, 2007, all of our purchase obligations for the 2,901 Systems ordered, but not delivered, in connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment information has been prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” As discussed in Note 1, beginning April 1, 2007, we made changes to our organizational structure that impacted our reportable segments. The Media Services segment was reorganized. The Company has realigned its focus and our business is now comprised of three primary reportable segments: Media Services, Content & Entertainment and Other. The segments were determined based on the products and services provided by each segment. Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Performance of the segments is evaluated on operating income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Future changes to this organization structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed.

The Other segment consists of the following:

 

 

The Company decided to realign its resources and to dispose of the Data Center Services segment, except our Managed Services business which we decided to retain and is now part of our Media Services segment. The disposition of our Data Center Services represented a strategic realignment of our technical and financial resources, thus enabling the Company to focus on what the Company believes are more profitable business opportunities. However, the Company was not able to classify the Data Center Services operations as a discontinued operation because the Company will remain as the lessee under the leases, and as a result, the Data Center Services will be shown as a part of continuing operations.

 

Effective May 1, 2007, the Company entered into a master collocation agreement (“MCA”) with FiberMedia AIT, LLC and Telesource Group, Inc. (together, “FiberMedia”) to operate the IDCs. FiberMedia operates a network of geographically distributed IDCs. The Company assigned its IDC customer contracts to FiberMedia, and going forward, FiberMedia will be responsible for all customer service issues, including the maintenance of the IDCs, sales, installation of customer equipment, cross connects, electrical and other customer needs. The Company will attempt to obtain landlord consents to assign each facility lease to FiberMedia. Until such landlord consents are obtained, the Company will remain as the lessee and pursuant to the MCA, FiberMedia will reimburse our costs under the facility leases, including rent, at an escalating percentage, starting at 50% in May 2007 and increasing to 100% in May 2008 and thereafter through the remaining term of each IDC lease. 100% of all other operating costs for each IDC are payable by FiberMedia through the term of each IDC lease.

An officer of Christie, from whom AccessIT DC purchases the Systems for our Digital Cinema Roll-Out was also a non-employee officer of AcessIT DC until May 2007. Payments for such Systems to Christie for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 totaled $26,063 and $210,595, respectively. This individual was not compensated by AccessIT DC and effective May 2007, the individual is no longer an officer of AccessIT DC.

 

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an income tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial

statements. The tax years ended March 31, 2004 through 2007 generally remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. In addition, the Company generated net operating losses in each tax year beginning with the year ended March 31, 2001. Future utilizations of such net operating losses will cause such years to remain open to examination to the extent that such net operating losses are utilized

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 on July 27, 2007, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 9, 2007. No additional purchase price will be due to the USM Stockholders, since the maximum amount of additional purchase price equal to $1,000 has been achieved, as shares with a value of $512 were issued in April 2007 (see Note 7).

In this report, “AccessIT,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refers to Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.

 

OVERVIEW

 

AccessIT provides fully managed storage, electronic delivery and software services and technology solutions for owners and distributors of digital content to movie theaters and other venues. In the past, we have generated revenues from two primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”) and internet data center (“IDC” or “data center”) services (“Data Center Services”) a business we no longer operated after May 1, 2007. We have since realigned our focus to two primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”) and media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”). Our Media Services business provides software, services and technology solutions to the motion picture and television industries, primarily to facilitate the transition from analog (film) to digital cinema and has positioned us at what we believe to be the forefront of an emerging industry opportunity relating to the delivery and management of digital cinema and other content to entertainment and other remote venues worldwide. Our Content & Entertainment business provides motion picture exhibition to the general public and cinema advertising and film distribution services to movie exhibitors.

 

We have three reportable segments: Media Services, Content & Entertainment and Other. The Media Services segment of our business is comprised of FiberSat Global Services, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Satellite and Support Services, (“AccessIT Satellite”), Access Digital Media, Inc. (“AccessDM” and, together with AccessIT Satellite, “DMS”), Christie/AIX, Inc. (“AccessIT DC”), PLX Acquisition Corp. and Core Technology Services, Inc. (“Managed Services”). The Content & Entertainment segment of our business is comprised of ADM Cinema Corporation (“ADM Cinema”) d/b/a the Pavilion Theatre (the “Pavilion Theatre”), UniqueScreen Media, Inc. (“USM”) d/b/a AccessIT Advertising and Creative Services (“ACS”) and Vistachiara Productions, Inc. d/b/a The Bigger Picture (“The Bigger Picture”). Our Other segment consists of the operations of our three IDCs and the operations of the Access Digital Server Assets.

 

We have incurred net losses of $2.6 million and $6.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and we have an accumulated deficit of $71.8 million as of June 30, 2007. We anticipate that, with our recent acquisitions and the operations of AccessIT DC and DMS, our results of operations will improve. As we grow, we expect our operating costs and general and administrative expenses will also increase for the foreseeable future, but as a much lower percentage of revenue. In order to achieve and sustain profitable operations, we will need to generate more revenues than we have in prior years and we may need to obtain additional financing.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2007

 

The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, the comparative changes to amounts included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

 

 

Revenues

 

Revenues were $5.6 million and $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $12.6 million or 225%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased VPF revenues, in the Media Service segment, attributable to the increased number of Systems installed in movie theatres. The increase also related to the acquisitions of USM and The Bigger Picture, part of the Content & Entertainment segment, acquired after June 30, 2006, and partially offset by reduced revenues of the IDCs due to their disposition at March 31, 2007.

 

Direct Operating Costs

 

Total direct operating costs were $3.4 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $2.8 million or 81%. The increase in direct operating costs was predominantly in the Content & Entertainment segment due to the acquisitions of USM and The Bigger Picture, acquired after June 30, 2006, and in the Media Services segment due to increased payroll costs associated with subcontracted technical staff hired during the three months ended June 30, 2007. These increases were partially offset by reduced direct operating costs of the IDCs due to their disposition.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.5 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $3.1 million or 124%. The increase was primarily in the Content & Entertainment segment due to the acquisitions of USM and The Bigger Picture, acquired after June 30, 2006, and increased headcount in the Media Services segment to support AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out. As of June 30, 2006 and 2007 we had 145 and 350 employees, respectively, of which 43 and 49, respectively, were part-time employees and 0 and 85, respectively, were salespersons.

---

 

Depreciation Expense on Property and Equipment

 

Total depreciation expense was $1.8 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $4.3 million or 231%. The increase was primarily attributable to the depreciation for the assets to support AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out.

 

Amortization Expense of Intangible Assets

 

Total amortization expense was $0.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $0.9 million or 457%. The increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of intangible assets due to the acquisitions of USM and The Bigger Picture, acquired after June 30, 2006.

 

Interest expense

 

Total interest expense was $0.3 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $4.4 million. The increase was primarily due to the interest expense, unused credit facility fees and the amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on the GE Credit Facility (see Note 6), amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on the Senior Notes (see Note 6) and interest associated with USM’s Excel Term Note (see Note 6) We anticipate that we will experience an increase in our interest expense consistent with the borrowings from the GE Credit Facility to support AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out.

 

Non-cash interest expense

 

Total non-cash interest expense was $0 and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million. The increase was due to the value of the shares issued as payment of interest on the $22.0 million of Senior Notes (see Note 6) which were not outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred operating losses in each year since we commenced our operations. Since our inception, we have financed our operations substantially through the private placement of shares of our common and preferred stock, the issuance of promissory notes, our initial public offering and subsequent private and public offerings, notes payable and Common Stock used to fund various acquisitions.

 

In August 2006, AccessIT DC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a definitive credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders party thereto, and one or more lenders party thereto. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, at any time prior to August 1, 2008, AccessIT DC may draw up to $217.0 million in the form of a senior secured multi draw term loan (the “GE Credit Facility”), in one or more borrowings. Proceeds from the GE Credit Facility will be used for the purchase and installation of up to 70% of the aggregate purchase price, including, all costs, fees or other expenses associated with the purchase acquisition, receipt, delivery, construction and installation of digital cinema systems in connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out and to pay transaction fees and expenses related to the GE Credit Facility, and for certain other specified purposes. The remaining cost of the Systems would be funded from other sources of capital including contributed equity. As of June 30, 2007, $165.9 million was borrowed under the GE Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 9.86%. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries from making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates.

 

In October 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued 8.5% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $22 million (the “October 2006 Private Placement”). The net proceeds of approximately $21.0 million from the October 2006 Private Placement are used for the expansion of the Company’s digital cinema rollout plans to markets outside of the United States, and any one or more of the following: (i) the payment of certain existing outstanding indebtedness of the Company due within twelve months of the issuance of the Senior Notes, (ii) working capital and (iii) other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Purchase Agreement also requires the Senior Notes to be guaranteed by each of the Company’s

existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), other than AccessIT DC and ACS and their respective subsidiaries. Accordingly, each of the Guarantors, other than AccessIT DC and ACS and their respective subsidiaries entered into a subsidiary guaranty (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”) with the Purchasers pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes contain certain restrictive covenants that restrict the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors from incurring other indebtedness, creating or acquiring subsidiaries which do not guarantee the Senior Notes, making certain investments and modifying authorized capital.

 

As of June 30, 2007, AccessIT DC has paid $210.6 million for Systems ordered and installation costs incurred in connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out.

 

As of June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $28.0 million and we had negative working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $(1.3) million. Our working capital is negative due to the Senior Notes being classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2007. We are presently in discussions with regard to refinancing certain of our debt obligations including the $22.0 million of Senior Notes (see Note 6) which would result in additional working capital.

 

Operating activities used net cash of $4.7 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to an increase of accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets and the reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by adjustments not requiring cash, such as depreciation and amortization.

 

Investing activities used net cash of $26.1 million and $36.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The increase was due to the purchase of and deposits on additional computer related equipment and other assets, primarily in connection with AccessIT DC‘s Digital Cinema Roll-Out. We anticipate that we will experience an increase in our capital expenditures consistent with the anticipated growth in our operations, infrastructure and personnel mainly in the support of AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out.

 

Financing activities used net cash of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Financing activities provided net cash of $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to the proceeds from the GE Credit Facility and the Christie Note (see Note 6).

 

The Company has contractual obligations that include long-term debt consisting of notes payable, a revolving credit facility, a non-cancelable long-term capital lease obligation for the Pavilion Theatre, non-cancelable operating leases consisting of real estate leases and minimum guaranteed obligations under theatre advertising agreements with exhibitors for displaying cinema advertising.

 

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of June 30, 2007 ($ in thousands):

 

 

As of June 30, 2007, all of our purchase obligations for the Systems ordered, but not delivered, in connection with AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

---

Management expects that we will continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future due to depreciation and amortization, interest on funds advanced under the GE Credit Facility (see Note 6), interest on the Senior Notes, software development, marketing and promotional activities and the development of relationships with other businesses. Certain of these costs, including costs of software development and marketing and promotional activities, could be reduced if necessary. The restrictions imposed by the Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement may limit the ability of the Company to obtain financing, make it more difficult to satisfy the Company’s debt obligations or require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of the Company’s cash flow to payments on our existing debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements. We may attempt to raise additional capital from various sources for working capital as necessary, but there is no assurance that such financing will be completed as contemplated or under terms acceptable to us, or our existing shareholders. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital, meet our financial covenants or other obligations under our Credit Agreement or manage discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve our intended business objectives.

 

Our management believes that the net proceeds generated by our recent financing transactions, combined with our cash on hand, cash receipts from existing operations and funds available under the GE Credit Facility (see Note 6), will be sufficient to permit us to meet our obligations through June 30, 2008.

 

Seasonality

 

Media Services revenues derived from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios and Content & Entertainment revenues derived from our Pavilion Theatre are seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of movies by the motion picture studios. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable movies during the summer and the holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit movie during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or any other quarter. We believe the seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, is becoming less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.

 

Subsequent Events

 

In July 2007, in connection with the acquisition of USM and the achievement of certain digital cinema deployment milestones, the Company issued 77,955 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, with a value of $0.5 million, to the USM Stockholders as additional purchase price. The Company agreed to register the resale of the shares of the Class A Common Stock with the SEC. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 on July 27, 2007, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 9, 2007.No additional purchase price will be due to the USM Stockholders, since the maximum amount of additional purchase price equal to $1.0 million has been achieved, as shares with a value of $0.5 million were issued in April 2007 (see Note 7).

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

The impact of inflation on our operations has not been significant to date. However, there can be no assurance that a high rate of inflation in the future would not have an adverse impact on our operating results.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our GE Credit Facility (see Note 6) and cash equivalents. The interest rate on certain advances under the GE Credit Facility fluctuates with the bank’s prime rate. As of June 30, 2007, $165.9 million was borrowed under the GE Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 9.86%.

 

We do not enter into derivative financial instruments. All sales and purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on us. If any of the following risks actually occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or business could be harmed. In that case, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose part of all of your investment.

 

An inability to obtain necessary financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations and prospects if unanticipated capital needs arise.

 

Our capital requirements may vary significantly from what we currently project and be affected by unforeseen delays and expenses. We may experience problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly-situated companies, as well as difficulties as a result of changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions. If we encounter any of these problems or difficulties or have underestimated our operating losses or capital requirements, we may require significantly more financing than we currently anticipate. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any required additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We will be restricted in the type and amount of additional indebtedness that we may incur as a result of our acquisition of AccessIT SW. In connection with the acquisition of AccessIT SW, we issued secured promissory notes to the sellers that will be senior to all indebtedness during the term of those notes other than any debt provided by a bank or institutional lender, which is less than $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount, unsecured or secured by the assets of AccessIT SW and its subsidiaries. Certain of the assets acquired by The Bigger Picture from BP/KTF are subject to liens and the security interests of a third party, Screenvision Exhibition, Inc. An inability to obtain necessary financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations and prospects. In connection with the Framework Agreement, we have agreed, through AccessIT DC, to seek to raise financing for purchases of digital cinema projection systems. Although we have entered into a Credit Facility (the “GE Credit Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), pursuant to which GECC and certain other lenders agreed to provide AccessIT DC a $217 million Senior Secured Multi Draw Term Loan, if we are unable to draw down loans from the GE Credit Facility or raise additional funds, we may not be able to fulfill our obligations under the Framework Agreement. The GE Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries from making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates. In October 2006, we issued certain promissory notes which restrict the Company and its subsidiaries (other than AccessIT DC and ACS) from incurring other indebtedness, creating or acquiring subsidiaries which do not guarantee such notes, making certain investments and modifying authorized capital.

 

We have limited experience in our newer business operations, which may negatively affect our ability to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability.

 

We were incorporated on March 31, 2000. Our first IDC, a part of our initial business, became operational in December 2000. Subsequent thereto, we added additional IDCs and expanded into the following new business areas which are currently our primary focus: (a) providing satellite delivery services, through our wholly-owned

 

27

 

---

subsidiary AccessIT Satellite; (b) operating a movie theater, through our wholly-owned subsidiary ADM Cinema; (c) placing digital cinema projection systems into movie theaters and collecting virtual print fees in connection with such placements, through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary AccessIT DC; (d) providing pre-show on-screen advertising and entertainment, through our wholly-owned subsidiary ACS and (e) operating an alternate content distribution company, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture. Although we have retained the senior management of the acquired businesses and have hired other experienced personnel, we have little experience in these new areas of business and cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and market the services provided thereby. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully operate these businesses. Our efforts to expand into these five new business areas may prove costly and time-consuming and have become our primary business focus, causing us to decide to dispose of our Data Center Services segment.

 

Our lack of operating experience in the digital cinema industry and providing transactional software for movie distributors and exhibitors could result in:

 

 

We may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability through the operation of our digital cinema business or our entertainment software business. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in marketing and operating these new businesses or, even if we are successful in doing so, that we will not experience additional losses.

 

We face the risks of an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market and may not be able successfully to address such risks and ever be successful or profitable.

 

We have encountered and will continue to encounter the challenges, uncertainties and difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, including:

 

 

This is particularly the case with respect to our newly acquired businesses. We cannot assure you that we will ever be successful or profitable.

 

28

 

---

Because the use of DMS’ services largely depends on the expanded use of digital presentations requiring electronic delivery, if such expanded use does not occur, no viable market for DMS’ services may develop.

 

Even though we are among the first to develop software and systems for the delivery of digital content to movie theaters and other venues, the demand for them is largely dependent on a concurrent expansion of digital presentations at theaters, which may not occur for several years. There can be no assurance that major movie studios or providers of alternative digital content that currently rely on traditional distribution networks to provide physical delivery of digital files will adopt a different method, particularly electronic delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theaters or other venues. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not occur, there may be no viable market for DMS’ delivery systems and software.

 

If we do not respond to future advances in technology and changes in customer demands, our financial position, prospects and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

The demand for our Digital Media Delivery Services and entertainment software will be affected, in large part, by future advances in technology and changes in customer demands. Our success will also depend on our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our existing and prospective customers.

 

We cannot assure you that there will be a demand for the digital cinema software and delivery services provided by DMS. DMS’ profitability depends largely upon the general expansion of digital presentations at theaters, which may not occur for several years. Although AccessIT DC has entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with six motion picture studios, there can be no assurance that these and other major movie studios relying on traditional distribution networks to provide physical delivery of digital files will adopt a different method, particularly electronic delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theaters or that they will release all, some or any of their motion pictures via digital cinema. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not occur, there may be no viable market for DMS’ software and systems.

 

We expect competition to be intense: if we are unable to compete successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.

 

The markets for the managed services business, the digital cinema business and the entertainment software business, although relatively new, are competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological and other changes. We expect the intensity of competition in each of these areas to increase in the future. Companies willing to expend the necessary capital to create facilities and/or software similar to ours may compete with our business. Increased competition may result in reduced revenues and/or margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our business. In order to compete effectively in each of these fields, we must differentiate ourselves from competitors.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us, which may permit them to adopt aggressive pricing policies. As a result, we may suffer from pricing pressures that could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and our results of operations. Many of our competitors also have significantly greater name and brand recognition and a larger customer base than us. We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.

 

Our plan to acquire additional businesses involves risks, including our inability successfully to complete an acquisition, our assumption of liabilities, dilution of your investment and significant costs.

 

Although there are no acquisitions identified by us as probable at this time, we may make further acquisitions of similar or complementary businesses or assets. Even if we identify appropriate acquisition candidates, we may be unable to negotiate successfully the terms of the acquisitions, finance them, integrate the acquired business into our then existing business and/or attract and retain customers. Completing an acquisition and integrating an acquired business, including our recently acquired businesses, may require a significant diversion of management time and resources and involves assuming new liabilities. Any acquisition also involves the risks that the assets acquired may prove less valuable than expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. If we make one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration consists of our capital stock, your equity interest in our company could be diluted, perhaps significantly. If we were to proceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash, or obtain additional financing to consummate them.

 

29

 

---

 

Our recent acquisitions involve risks, including our inability to integrate successfully the new businesses and our assumption of certain liabilities.

 

We have made several meaningful acquisitions to expand into new business areas. However, we may experience costs and hardships in integrating the new acquisitions into our current business structure. In November 2004, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of FiberSat Global Services, LLC which have been integrated into the operations of AccessIT Satellite. In February 2005, we acquired the Pavilion Theatre through our wholly-owned subsidiary, ADM Cinema. In June 2005, we created AccessIT DC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AccessDM, to purchase Systems for AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, under the Framework Agreement with Christie. In January 2006, we purchased certain web hosting assets. In June 2006, the Company, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, PLX Acquisition, purchased substantially all the assets of PLX which have been integrated into the operations of AccessIT SW. In July 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of USM. Most recently, in January 2007, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture, purchased substantially all of the assets of BP/KTF, which we intend to integrate into the Company’s operations. We may not be able to integrate successfully the acquired businesses and assets into our existing business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively market the services provided by AccessIT Satellite, the Pavilion Theatre, AccessIT DC, ACS and The Bigger Picture. Further, these new businesses and assets may involve a significant diversion of our management time and resources and be costly. Our acquisition of these businesses and assets also involves the risks that the businesses and assets acquired may prove to be less valuable than we expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. In addition, we assumed certain liabilities in connection with these acquisitions and we cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy adequately such assumed liabilities. Other companies that offer similar products and services may be able to market and sell their products and services more cost-effectively than we can.

 

If we do not manage our growth, our business will be harmed.

 

We may not be successful in managing our rapid growth. Since November 2004, we have acquired the businesses discussed above and in connection with those acquisitions, we have formed additional subsidiaries. These subsidiaries operate in business areas different from our IDC operations business. The number of our employees has grown from 11 in March 2003 to over 350 in June 2007. Past growth has placed, and future growth will continue to place, significant challenges on our management and resources, related to the successful integration of the newly acquired businesses. To manage the expected growth of our operations, we will need to improve our existing, and implement new, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. We may also need to expand our finance, administrative, client services and operations staffs and train and manage our growing employee base effectively. Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations.Our business, results of operations and financial position will suffer if we do not effectively manage our growth.

 

If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, our business will suffer.

 

We depend heavily on technology to operate our business. Our success depends on protecting our intellectual property, which is one of our most important assets. Although we do not currently hold any copyrights, patents or registered trademarks, we do have intellectual property consisting of:

 

 

 

30

 

---

 

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business, financial position and results of operations would be harmed. Our means of protecting our intellectual property may not be adequate. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our intellectual property or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, competitors may be able to devise methods of competing with our business that are not covered by our intellectual property. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our technology or design around any intellectual property that we may obtain.

 

The success of some of our business operations depends on the proprietary nature of certain software. We do not, however, have any patents with respect to such software. Because there is no patent protection in respect of our software, other companies are not prevented from developing and marketing similar software. We cannot assure you, therefore, that we will not face more competitors or that we can compete effectively against any companies that develop similar software. We also cannot assure you that we can compete effectively or not suffer from pricing pressure with respect to our existing and developing products that could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

 

Although we hold rights to various web domain names, regulatory bodies in the United States and abroad could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. The relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of our proprietary rights.

 

We may continue to have customer concentration in our business, and the loss of one or more of our largest customers could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

We expect that we will rely, at least in the near future, upon a limited number of customers for a substantial percentage of our revenues and may continue to have customer concentration company-wide. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, AccessIT DC’s customers comprised 76.2% of Media Services revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, ACS and our Pavilion Theatre comprised 74.0% and 20.6% of Content & Entertainment revenues, respectively. Our advertising business consists mainly of local advertisers, with no one customer representing 10% of in-theatre advertising revenues and all the customers of our Pavilion Theatre are the general public. Media Services’ customers are principally worldwide motion picture studios. Five customers, Disney Worldwide Services, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Releasing Corporation, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Brothers, each represented 10% or more of AccessIT DC’s revenues and together generated 68.6%, 16.1%, 24.3% and 52.3% of AccessIT DC’s, AccessIT SW’s, AccessDM’s and Media Services’ revenues, respectively.

 

Our substantial debt and lease obligations could impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly.

 

We now have, and will continue to have, significant debt obligations. We have notes payable to third parties with principal amounts aggregating $202.1 million as of June 30, 2007. We also have a capital lease obligation covering facilities with the principal amount of $6.0 million as of June 30, 2007.

 

Additionally, AccessIT DC, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, has recently entered into the GE Credit Facility, which permits us to borrow up to $217 million of which $165.9 million has been drawn down as of June 30, 2007 and is included in the notes payable to third parties above. The obligations and restrictions under the GE Credit Facility and our other debt obligations could have important consequences for us, including:

 

 

 

31

 

---

 

If we are unable to meet our lease and debt obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our obligations, to seek additional equity financing or to sell assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at all. As a result, we could default on those obligations and in the event of such default, our lenders could accelerate our debt or take other actions that could restrict our operations.

 

The foregoing risks would be intensified to the extent we borrow additional money or incur additional debt.

 

The agreements governing our GE Credit Facility and our issuance of notes in October 2006 imposes certain limitations on us.

 

The agreement governing our GE Credit Facility restricts the ability of AccessIT DC and its existing and future subsidiaries to:

 

 

The agreements governing our issuance of notes in October 2006 restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from:

 

 

We may not be able to generate the amount of cash needed to fund our future operations.

 

Our ability either to make payments on or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is in part subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

 

Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and available cash financed through the issuance of securities and our GE Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least one year from the date of this prospectus. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as:

 

 

 

32

 

---

 

 

We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that we will be able to make future borrowings in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay the principal and interest on our current indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

We have incurred losses since our inception.

 

We have incurred losses since our inception in March 2000 and have financed our operations principally through equity investments and borrowings. As of June 30, 2007, we had negative working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $(1.3) million and cash, cash equivalents and investments of $28.0 million; we had an accumulated deficit of $71.8 million; and, from inception through such date, we had used $33.2 million in cash for operating activities. Our net losses are likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

 

Our ability to become profitable is dependent upon us achieving a sufficient volume of business from our customers. If we cannot achieve a high enough volume, we likely will incur additional net and operating losses. We may be unable to continue our business as presently conducted unless we obtain funds from additional financings.

 

Our net losses and cash outflows may increase as and to the extent that we increase the size of our business operations, increase the purchases of Systems for AccessIT DC’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, increase our sales and marketing activities, enlarge our customer support and professional services and acquire additional businesses. These efforts may prove to be more expensive than we currently anticipate which could further increase our losses. We must significantly increase our revenues in order to become profitable. We cannot reliably predict when, or if, we will become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it. If we cannot generate operating income or positive cash flows in the future, we will be unable to meet our working capital requirements.

 

Many of our corporate actions may be controlled by our officers, directors and principal stockholders; these actions may benefit these principal stockholders more than our other stockholders.

 

As of July 23, 2007, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, those known by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, approximately 61.9% of our outstanding common stock. In particular, A. Dale Mayo, our President and Chief Executive Officer beneficially holds all 763,811 shares of Class B common stock, and 133,127 shares of Class A common stock which collectively represent approximately 5.1% of our outstanding common stock, and includes 100,000 shares of Class A common stock held by Mr. Mayo’s spouse, of which Mr. Mayo disclaims beneficial ownership, and 12,000 shares of Class A common stock held for the account of Mr. Mayo’s grandchildren, the custodian of which accounts is Mr. Mayo’s spouse, of which Mr. Mayo also disclaims beneficial ownership.Our Class B common stock entitles the holder to ten votes per share. The shares of Class A common stock have one vote per share. Due to the supervoting Class B common stock, Mr. Mayo has approximately 24.4% of our voting power. These stockholders, and Mr. Mayo himself, will have significant influence over our business affairs, with the ability to control matters requiring approval by our security holders, including elections of directors and approvals of mergers or other business combinations. Also, certain corporate actions directed by our officers may not necessarily inure to the proportional benefit of other stockholders of our company; under his employment agreement, for example, Mr. Mayo is entitled to receive a guaranteed annual cash bonus.

Our success will significantly depend on our ability to hire and retain key personnel.

 

Our success will depend in significant part upon the continued services of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel. If we lose one or more of our key employees, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement(s) and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. In particular, our performance depends significantly upon the continued service of A. Dale Mayo, our President and Chief Executive Officer, whose experience and relationships in the movie theater industry are integral to our business, particularly in the business areas of AccessIT SW, DMS and AccessIT DC. Although we have obtained two $5.0 million key-man life insurance policies in respect of Mr. Mayo, the loss of his services would have a material and adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects. Each policy carries a death benefit of $5.0 million, and while we are the beneficiary of each policy, under one of the policies the proceeds are to be used to repurchase, after reimbursement of all premiums paid by us, shares of our capital stock held by Mr. Mayo’s estate at the then-determined fair market value. We also rely on the experience and expertise of certain officers of our subsidiaries. In addition, our future success will depend upon our ability to hire, train, integrate and retain qualified new employees.

 

We may be subject to environmental risks relating to the on-site storage of diesel fuel and batteries.

 

Our IDCs contain tanks for the storage of diesel fuel for our generators and significant quantities of lead acid batteries used to provide back-up power generation for uninterrupted operation of our customers’ equipment. We cannot assure you that our systems will be free from leaks or that use of our systems will not result in spills. Any leak or spill, depending on such factors as the nature and quantity of the materials involved and the environmental setting, could result in interruptions to our operations and the incurrence of significant costs; particularly to the extent we incur liability under applicable environmental laws. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

We may not be successful in the disposal of our Data Center Services.

 

In connection with the disposition of our Data Center Services, we entered into a master collocation agreement (“MCA”) with FiberMedia AIT, LLC and Telesource Group, Inc. (together, “FiberMedia”) to operate our IDCs. FiberMedia operates a network of geographically distributed IDCs. We have assigned our IDC customer contracts to FiberMedia, and going forward, FiberMedia will be responsible for all customer service issues, including the maintenance of the IDCs, sales, installation of customer equipment, cross connects, electrical and other customer needs. Among such items are certain operating leases which expire between June 2009 through January 2016. As of June 30, 2007, obligations under these operating leases totaled $10.1 million. We will attempt to obtain landlord consents to assign each facility lease to FiberMedia. Until such landlord consents are obtained, we will remain as the lessee and pursuant to the MCA, FiberMedia will reimburse our costs under the facility leases, including rent, at an escalating percentage, starting at 50% in May 2007 and increasing to 100% in May 2008 and thereafter through the remaining term of each IDC lease. 100% of all other operating costs for each IDC, are payable by FiberMedia through the term of each IDC lease. We cannot assure you that the existing landlords would consent to the assignment of these leases to a buyer of our data centers. As a result, we may have continuing obligations under these leases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors.

 

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”), the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. We have not yet been subject to these requirements. We are evaluating our internal control systems in order to allow our management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to, our internal controls, as a required part of our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

While we expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by SOX 404, there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. At present, there is no precedent available with which to measure compliance adequacy. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors.

In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our ability to obtain equity or debt financing could suffer.
