PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

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 theatres 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, but did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We realigned our focus to three primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”), media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”) and other (“Other”). 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.  Our Other business is attributable to the Data Center Services.

MEDIA SERVICES

The Media Services business consists of the following:

Operations of:
Products and services provided:
Christie/AIX, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Digital Cinema (“AccessIT DC”) and its subsidiary, Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 Corp. (“Phase 2 Corporation”)
· Financing vehicles and administrators for our 3,723 digital cinema projection systems (the “Systems”) installed nationwide (our “Phase I Deployment”) and our second digital cinema deployment (the “Phase II Deployment”) to motion picture exhibitors
· Collect virtual print fees (“VPFs”) from motion picture studios and distributors and alternative content fees (“ACFs”)  from alternative content providers
Hollywood Software, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Software (“AccessIT SW”)
· Develops and licenses software to the theatrical distribution and exhibition industries as well as intellectual property rights and royalty management
· Provides services as an Application Service Provider
· Provides software enhancements and consulting services
Access Digital Media, Inc. (“AccessDM”) and FiberSat Global Services, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Satellite and Support Services, (“AccessIT Satellite” and, together with AccessDM, “DMS”)
· Stores and distributes digital content to movie theatres and other venues having digital projection equipment and provides satellite-based broadband video, data and Internet transmission, encryption management services, key management, video network origination and management services
· Provides a virtual booking center to outsource the booking and scheduling of satellite and fiber networks
· Provides forensic watermark detection services for motion picture studios and forensic recovery services for content owners
Core Technology Services, Inc. (“Managed Services”)
· Provides information technology consulting services and managed network monitoring services through its global network command center (“GNCC”)

In February 2003, we organized AccessDM, for the worldwide delivery of digital data, including movies, advertisements and alternative content such as concerts, seminars and sporting events, to movie theaters and other venues having digital projection equipment.

In November 2003, we acquired all of the capital stock of AccessIT SW, a leading provider of proprietary transactional support software and consulting services for distributors and exhibitors of filmed entertainment in the United States and Canada (the “AccessIT SW Acquisition”).

In January 2004, we acquired Managed Services, a managed service provider of information technologies (the “Managed Services Acquisition”) which operates a 24x7 GNCC, capable of running the networks and systems of large corporate clients.  The three largest customers of Managed Services accounted for approximately 60% of its revenues.

In November 2004, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of FiberSat Global Services, LLC (the “FiberSat Acquisition”).

In June 2005, we formed AccessIT DC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AccessDM, to purchase Systems for our Phase I Deployment, under the framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. (“Christie”).  In September 2005, pursuant to a second amendment to the Framework Agreement, Christie and AccessIT DC agreed to extend the number of Systems which may be ordered to 4,000 Systems.  In December 2007, AccessIT DC completed its Phase I Deployment with 3,723 Systems installed.

In June 2006, the Company, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, PLX Acquisition Corp. (“PLX Acquisition”), purchased substantially all the assets of PLX Systems Inc. (“PLX”) and Right Track Solutions Incorporated (“Right Track”).  PLX Acquisition 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.  PLX’s and Right Track’s assets have been integrated into the operations of AccessIT SW.


 
2

 

In October 2007, we formed Phase 2 Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AccessIT DC, to purchase up to 10,000 additional Systems for our expected Phase II Deployment.

In October 2007, AccessDM launched CineLiveSM, a new hardware product that enables live 2-D and 3-D streaming broadcasts to be converted from satellite feeds into on-screen entertainment, which can then be delivered to and exhibited in digital cinema equipped theatres.  CineLiveSM was developed exclusively for AccessDM by International Datacasting Corporation (IDC) and SENSIO Technologies Inc.

The business of AccessIT DC consists of the ownership and licensing of digital systems to exhibitors and the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios and ACFs from exhibitors, when content is shown on exhibitors’ screens.  We have licensed the necessary software and technology solutions to the exhibitor and have facilitated its transition from analog (film) to digital cinema.  As part of AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment of digital systems, AccessIT DC has agreements with seven major motion picture studios, certain smaller independent studios and exhibitors allowing it to collect VPFs and ACFs when content is shown in theatres, in exchange for it having facilitated the deployment, and providing management services, of 3,723 Systems and the other digital cinema assets.  AccessIT DC has agreements with sixteen domestic theatre circuits that license our Systems in order to show digital content distributed by the studios and other providers, including an AccessIT subsidiary, The Bigger Picture.   Phase 2 Corporation has entered into agreements with four major motion picture studios which will allow it to collect VPFs and ACFs once Phase 2 Corporation enters into license agreements with exhibitors, arranges suitable financing for the purchase of Systems, enters into vendor supply agreements for the necessary equipment and once the Systems are installed and ready for content.

Products

AccessIT SW provides proprietary software applications and services to support customers of varying sizes, through software licenses, its ASP Service which it hosts the application through Managed Services and client access via the Internet and provides outsourced film distribution services, called IndieDirect.   Current proprietary software of AccessIT SW consists of the following:

Proprietary Software Product:
Purpose:
Theatrical Distribution System (“TDS”)
Enables United States motion picture studios to plan, book and account for movie releases and to collect and analyze related financial operations data and interfaces with DMS’ Digital Express e-Courier Services software.
Theatrical Distribution System (Global)
(“TDSG “)
Enables international motion picture studios to plan, book and account for movie releases and to collect and analyze related financial operations data and interfaces with DMS’ Digital Express e-Courier Services software.
Exhibition Management System™ (“EMS™”)
Manages all key aspects of film planning, scheduling, booking and motion picture studios payment for exhibitors.
Motion Picture Planning System (“MPPS”)
Plans and initiates movie release strategies using various movie criteria and historical performance data.
Royalty Transaction Solution (“RTS”)
An enterprise royalty accounting and licensing system built specifically for the entertainment industry.
   
Distributed Software Product:
Purpose:
Vista Cinema Software (“Vista”)
Theatre ticketing software.

Domestic Theatrical Distribution Management

AccessIT SW’s TDS product is currently licensed to several motion picture studios, including Overture Films, Summit Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios, MGM, Lionsgate and the Weinstein Company.  These studios comprised approximately 41.9%, 12.4%, 11.8%, 5.3%, 4.6%, 3.0%, 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively, of AccessIT SW’s revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.  Several distributors utilize AccessIT SW’s products through its ASP Service, including Director’s Limited, Freestyle Releasing, IDP, IFC Films, IFS, Magnolia Pictures and Maple Pictures.  In addition, AccessIT SW licenses to customers other distribution-related software, MPPS, which further automates and manages related aspects of movie distribution, including advertising, strategic theatre selection and competitive release planning.

AccessIT SW also provides outsourced movie distribution services, specifically for independent film distributors and producers, through IndieDirect.  The IndieDirect staff uses the TDS distribution software to provide back office movie booking, tracking, reporting, settlement, and receivables management services.

International Theatrical Distribution Management

In 2004, AccessIT SW began developing TDSG, an international version of our successful TDS application, to support worldwide movie distribution and has the capability to run either from a single central location or multiple locations.  In December 2004, AccessIT SW signed an agreement to license TDSG to 20th Century Fox, who has begun the implementation of the software, targeting fourteen overseas territories, encompassing eighteen foreign offices.  As with our North American TDS solution, the TDSG system seamlessly integrates with AccessIT’s digital content delivery, significantly enhancing our international market opportunities.

Exhibition Management

We believe that our EMS™ system is one of the most powerful and comprehensive systems available to manage all key elements of motion picture exhibition. This fully supported solution can exchange information with every financial, ticketing, point-of-sale, distributor and data system to eliminate manual processes. Also, EMS™ is designed to create innovative revenue opportunities for motion picture exhibitors from the presentation of new and/or additional advertising and alternative entertainment in their movie theatres due to the expanding use of digital content delivery.

IP Rights and Royalty Management

AccessIT SW also provides software for the management of IP rights and royalties, called RTS, which was acquired in the acquisition of PLX.

Distributed Software

AccessIT SW also distributes Vista, a theatre ticketing solution, developed by Vista Entertainment Solutions Limited (“Vista Entertainment”) which is based in New Zealand.  AccessIT SW is currently the only United States-based distributor of Vista to the United States theatre market.  Under our distribution agreement with Vista Entertainment, AccessIT SW earns a percentage of license fees, maintenance fees and consulting fees generated from each Vista product we sell.

Research and Development

The Company’s research and development was approximately $300,000, $330,000 and $162,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and was comprised mainly of personnel costs and third party contracted services attributable to research and development efforts at AccessIT SW related to the development of our digital software applications and various product  enhancements to TDS and EMS™.

Market Opportunity

We believe that:

·  
AccessIT SW’s products are becoming the industry standard method by which motion picture studios and exhibitors plan, manage and monitor operations and data regarding the presentation of theatrical entertainment.  Based upon certain industry figures, distributors using AccessIT SW’s TDS software cumulatively managed over one-third of the United States theatre box office revenues each year since 1999;
·  
by adapting this system to serve the expanding digital entertainment industry, AccessIT SW’s products and services will be accepted as an important component in the digital content delivery and management business;
·  
the continued transition to digital content delivery will require a high degree of coordination among content providers, customers and intermediary service providers;
·  
producing, buying and delivering media content through worldwide distribution channels is a highly fragmented and inefficient process; and
·  
technologies created by AccessIT SW and the continuing development of and general transition to digital forms of media will help the digital content delivery and management business become increasingly streamlined, automated and enhanced.

Intellectual Property

AccessIT SW currently has intellectual property consisting of:

·  
licensable software products, including TDS, TDSG, EMS™, MPPS and RTS;
·  
domain names, including EPayTV.com, EpayTV.net, HollywoodSoftware.com, HollywoodSoftware.net, Indie-Coop.com, Indie-Coop.net, Indiedirect.com, IPayTV.com; PersonalEDI.com, RightsMart.com, RightsMart.net, TheatricalDistribution.com and Vistapos.com;
·  
unregistered trademarks and service marks, including Coop Advertising V1.04, EMS ASP, Exhibitor Management System, Hollywood SW, Inc., HollywoodSoftware.com, Indie Co-op, Media Manager, On-Line Release Schedule, RightsMart, TDS and TheatricalDistribution.com; and
·  
logos, including those in respect of Hollywood SW, TDS and EMS™.

Customers

Overture Films, Pacific Theatres and Summit Entertainment, each represented 10% or more of AccessIT SW’s revenues and together generated 38.1% of AccessIT SW’s revenues and Carmike Theatres generated 31.3% of DMS’ TCC revenues. Pacific Theatres and Summit Entertainment are also customers for Digital Media Delivery. We expect to continue to conduct business with each of these customers in fiscal year 2009.

Competition

Within the major motion picture studios and exhibition circuits, AccessIT SW’s principal competitors for its products are in-house development teams, which generally are assisted by outside contractors and other third-parties.  Most motion picture studios that do not use the TDS software use their own in-house developed systems.  Internationally, AccessIT SW is aware of one vendor based in the Netherlands providing similar software on a smaller scale.  AccessIT SW’s movie exhibition product, EMS™, competes principally with customized solutions developed by the large exhibition circuits and at least one other competitor that has been targeting mid- to small-sized motion picture exhibitors.  We believe that AccessIT SW, through its technology and management experience, may differentiate itself by providing a competitive alternative to their forms of digital content delivery and management business.

Current proprietary software of DMS for digital media delivery consists of the following:

Proprietary Software Product:
Purpose:
Theatre Command Center (“TCC”)
Provides in-theatre management for use by digitally–equipped movie theatres and interfaces with DMS’ Digital Express e-Courier Services software.
Digital Express e-Courier Services SM
Provides worldwide delivery of digital content, including movies, advertisements and alternative content such as concerts, seminars and sporting events to movie theatres and other venues having digital projection equipment.

Our TCC system, provides in-theatre management for digitally–equipped movie theatres, enabling one to control all the screens in a movie theatre, manage content and version review, show building, program scheduling and encryption security key management from a central terminal, whether located in the projection booth, the theatre manager’s office or both.

The Digital Express e-Courier Services SM software makes interaction between the content originator (such as the motion picture studio) and the exhibitor easier:

·  
Programming is viewed, booked, scheduled and electronically delivered through Digital Express e-Courier Services SM.
·  
Once received, DCDMs are prepared for distribution employing wrapper technology, including the application of an additional layer of Advanced Encryption Standard encryption, for added security.
·  
Designed to provide transparent control over the delivery process, Digital Express e-Courier Services SM provides comprehensive, real-time monitoring capabilities including a fully customizable, automatic event notification system, delivering important status information to customers through a variety of connected devices including cell phones, e-mail or pagers.

Current licensed software of AccessIT DC consists of the following:

Licensed Product:
Purpose:
Cinefence
Detection of audio and video watermarks in content distributed through digital cinema.

In February 2006, AccessIT DC entered into an agreement with Philips Electronics Nederland B.V. (“Philips”) for a non-exclusive, worldwide right to use software license for Philips’ software Cinefence (the “Cinefence License”).  The Cinefence License is for an initial period of twelve years and renews automatically each year unless terminated by either party upon written notice.  Cinefence is a watermarking detector of audio and video watermarks in content distributed through digital cinema.  Christie incorporates Cinefence into the Systems deployed with motion picture exhibitors participating in AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.

Market Opportunity

According to the Motion Picture Association, on average, there were approximately 530 new movie releases for each of the past two years.  The average major movie is released to approximately 4,000 screens in the United States and 8,000 screens worldwide.  According to the National Association of Theatre Owners, there are approximately 107,000 screens worldwide that play major movie releases, with approximately 38,000 screens located in the United States.

We believe that:

·  
the demand for digital content delivery will increase as the movie, advertising and entertainment industries continue to convert to a digital format in order to achieve cost savings, greater flexibility and/or improved image quality;
·  
digital content delivery eventually will replace, or at least become more prevalent than, the current method used for film delivery since existing film delivery generally involves the time-consuming, somewhat expensive and cumbersome process of receiving bulk printed film, rebuilding the film into shipping reels, packaging the film reels into canisters and physically delivering the film reels by traditional ground modes of transportation to movie theatres;
·  
the expanding use of digital content delivery will lead to an increasing need for digital content delivery, as the movie exhibition industry now has the capability to present advertisements, trailers and alternative entertainment in a digital format and in a commercially viable manner;
·  
motion picture exhibitors may be able to profit from the presentation of new and/or additional advertising in their movie theatres and that alternative entertainment at movie theatres may both expand their hours of operation and increase their occupancy rates;
·  
the demand for our digital content delivery is directly related to the number of digital movie releases each year, the number of movie screens those movies are shown on and the transition to digital presentations in those movie theatres;
·  
the cost to deliver digital movies to movie theatres will be much less than the cost to print and deliver analog movie prints, and such lesser cost will provide the economic model to drive the conversion from analog to digital cinema (according to Nash Information Services, LLC., the average film print costs $2,000 per print); and
·  
digital content delivery will help reduce the cost of illegal off-the-screen recording of movies with handheld camcorders due to the watermark technology being utilized in content distributed through digital cinema (according to the Motion Picture Association of America, this costs the worldwide movie exhibition industry an estimated $6.1 billion annually).

To date, in connection with our Phase I Deployment, 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 alternative content to motion picture exhibitors equipped with Systems, and providing for payment of VPFs and ACFs to AccessIT DC.  In December 2007, AccessIT DC completed its Phase I Deployment with 3,723 Systems installed.

Intellectual Property

AccessDM has received United States service mark registrations for the following: AccessDM® and The Courier For The Digital Era®. AccessIT has received United States service mark registration for Access Digital Media® and Digi-Central®.

DMS currently has intellectual property consisting of unregistered trademarks and service marks, including CineLiveSM.

FiberSat Global Services, Inc. has received a United States trademark registration for the marks Theatre Command Center® and Theater Command Center®.

Customers

Digital Media Delivery customers are mainly the motion picture studios and in-theatre advertising customers. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, AccessIT DC’s customers comprised 78.7% of Media Services’ revenues. Five customers, 20th Century Fox, Disney Worldwide Services, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Releasing Corporation and Warner Brothers, each represented 10% or more of AccessIT DC’s revenues and together generated 57.3% and 47.1% of AccessIT DC’s and Media Services’ revenues, respectively, and are also customers for Entertainment Software.  We expect to continue to conduct business with these customers in fiscal year 2009.

Competition

Companies that have developed forms of digital content delivery to entertainment venues include:

·  
Technicolor Digital Cinema, an affiliate of the Thomson Company, which has developed distribution technology and support services for the physical delivery of digital movies to motion picture exhibitors and is currently testing a rollout plan;
·  
National CineMedia, LLC (NCM), a venture of AMC, Cinemark USA, Inc. and Regal, which have joined to work on the development of a digital cinema business plan, primarily concentrated on in-theatre advertising, business meetings and non-feature film content distribution; and
·  
DELUXE Laboratories, a wholly owned subsidiary of the MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc., which has developed distribution technology and support services for the physical delivery of digital movies to motion picture exhibitors.

These competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing and managerial resources than we do, have generated greater revenue and are better known than we are. However, we believe that DMS, through its technology and management experience, its development of software capable of delivering digital content electronically worldwide, its development of the Theatre Command Center software, and the complement of AccessIT SW’s software, differentiate us from our competitors by providing a competitive alternative to their forms of digital content delivery.

We expect to co-market Digital Media Delivery to the current and prospective customers of AccessIT SW, using marketing and sales efforts and resources of both companies, which would enable owners of digital content to securely deliver such digital content to their customers and, thereafter, to manage and track data regarding the presentation of the digital content, including different forms of audio and/or visual entertainment.  As the digital content industry continues to develop, we may engage in other marketing methods, such as advertising and service bundling, and may hire additional sales personnel.

Managed Services

We have developed two distinct Managed Services offerings, Network and Systems Management and Managed Storage Services.

Network and Systems Management

We offer our customers the economies of scale of the GNCC with an advanced engineering staff.  Our network and systems management services include:

·  
network architecture and design;
·  
systems and network monitoring and management;
·  
data and voice integration;
·  
project management;
·  
auditing and assessment;
·  
on site support for hardware installation and repair, software installation and update and a 24x7 user help desk;
·  
a 24x7 Citrix server farm (a collection of computer servers); and
·  
fully managed hosting services.
 
7

Managed Storage Services

Our managed storage services, known as AccessStorage-on-Demand, include:

·  
hardware and software from such industry leaders as EMC Symmetrix, StorageTek and Veritas;
·  
pricing on a per-gigabyte of usage basis which provides customers with reliable primary data storage that is connected to their computers;
·  
the latest storage area network (“SAN”) technology and SAN monitoring by our GNCC; and
·  
a disaster recovery plan for customers that have their computers located within one of our IDCs by providing them with a tape back-up copy of their data that may then be sent to the customer’s computer if the customer’s data is lost, damaged or inaccessible.

All managed storage services are available separately or may be bundled together with other services.  Monthly pricing is based on the type of storage (tape or disk), the capacity used and the level of accessibility required.

Market Opportunity

We believe that:

·  
this low-cost and customizable alternative to designing, implementing, and maintaining a large scale network infrastructure enables our clients to focus on information technology business development, rather than the underlying communications infrastructure; and
·  
our ability to offer clients the benefits of a SAN storage system at a fraction of the cost of building it themselves, allows our clients to focus on their core business.

Intellectual Property

AccessIT has received United States service mark registration for the following service marks: Access Integrated Technologies®, AccessSecure®; AccessSafe®; AccessBackup®; AccessBusinessContinuance®; AccessVault®; AccessContent®; AccessColocenter®; AccessDataVault®; AccessColo®; AccessColo, Inc.®; and AccessStore®. 

Customers

Our Managed Services customers mainly include major and mid-level networks and ISPs, various users of network services, traditional voice and data transmission providers, long distance carriers and commercial businesses and the motion picture studio customers of our Media Services.  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, four customers, the Boeing Company, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP (“KDW”), Rothschild, Inc. and the Weinstein Company, each represented 10% or more of Managed Service revenues and together generated 54% of Managed Service’s revenues.  Other than KDW, who is also outside legal counsel for the Company, we do not have any other relationships with these customers.  We expect to continue to conduct business with these customers in fiscal 2009, except for the Boeing Company with whom our contractual relationship is expected to terminate.

Competition

Many data center operators offer managed services to clients who co-locate servers in the operator owned data center. Our focus is on delivery of managed services inside the IDCs, now operated by FiberMedia AIT, LLC and Telesource Group, Inc. (together, “FiberMedia”), as a lead product for primary data center services and to also offer those services to clients who have servers outside the IDCs allowing us to offer remote server and network monitoring, server and network management and disaster recovery services.

Our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and managerial resources than we do.  These competitors also generate greater revenue and are better known than we are. However, we believe that, by offering the IDCs now operated by FiberMedia along with related data center services, may differentiate us from our competition by providing a competitive bundled solution.

Seasonality

Media Services revenues derived from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios 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. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, has become less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.

Government Regulation

Except for the requirement of compliance with United States export controls relating to the export of high technology products, we are not subject to government approval procedures or other regulations for the licensing of our Entertainment Software products.

The distribution of movies is in large part regulated by federal and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases. Motion picture studios offer and license movies to motion picture exhibitors, on a movie-by-movie and theatre-by-theatre basis. Consequently, motion picture exhibitors cannot assure themselves of a supply of movies by entering into long-term arrangements with motion picture studios, but must negotiate for licenses on a movie-by-movie basis.  AccessIT Satellite maintains a Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) broadcast license related to our satellite transmission of content and should we violate any FCC laws, we may be subject to fines and or forfeiture of our broadcast license.

Media Services is also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship and health and sanitation requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all of such laws.

The nature of Media Services does not subject us to environmental laws in any material manner.

CONTENT & ENTERTAINMENT

The Content & Entertainment business consists of the following:

Operations of:
Products and services provided:
ADM Cinema Corporation (“ADM Cinema”) d/b/a the Pavilion Theatre (the “Pavilion Theatre”)
· A nine-screen digital movie theatre and showcase to demonstrate our integrated digital cinema solutions
UniqueScreen Media, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Advertising and Creative Services (“ACS”)
· Provides cinema advertising services and entertainment
Vistachiara Productions, Inc. d/b/a The Bigger Picture (“The Bigger Picture”)
· Acquires, distributes and provides the marketing for programs of alternative content to theatrical exhibitors

In February 2005, through ADM Cinema, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the Pavilion Theatre located in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, New York from Pritchard Square Cinema, LLC (the “Pavilion Theatre Acquisition”).

In July 2006, we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of ACS from ACS’s stockholders (the “ACS Acquisition”).

In January 2007, through our wholly owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture, we purchased substantially all of the assets of BP/KTF, LLC (the “Bigger Picture Acquisition”).

Market Opportunity

We believe that:

·  
recent surveys have shown that movie goers are becoming more accepting of theatre advertising, and that of the 38,000 screens located in the United States, 24,000 of them show some form of advertising.

Intellectual Property

There is no intellectual property related to our Content & Entertainment business.

Customers

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, ACS and our Pavilion Theatre comprised 75% and 22% 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.

Competition

Numerous companies are engaged in various forms of producing and distributing entertainment and alternative content, as well as the sales, production and distribution of commercial advertising.  Such forms of competition have historically extended into motion picture exhibition only to a limited degree, except for cinema advertising.

The Company views the following as its principal competition in its content and entertainment business segment:

·  
The Walt Disney Company and Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc., a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America, have both demonstrated their intent to continue expanding digital distribution of non-film content into cinema venues;
·  
Screenvision US, a joint venture of Thomson and ITV, PLC, which sells and displays national, regional and local cinema advertising in approximately 14,000 screens in more than 1,900 theatre locations, as well as having distributed certain alternative content in select theatres; and
·  
National CineMedia, LLC (NCM), a venture of AMC, Cinemark USA, Inc. and Regal, which have joined to work on the development of a digital cinema business plan, primarily concentrated on in-theatre advertising, business meetings and non-feature film content distribution.

These competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing and managerial resources than we do and have generated greater revenue and are better known than we are.  However, we believe this is somewhat mitigated by the exclusive, and to a lesser degree non-exclusive, long and short-term contractual rights we have with our exhibitor partners, the proprietary nature of certain alternative programming, and the ability to provide cost effective turn-key solutions for intellectual property holders through digital preparation, digital delivery services through DMS, and advertising and marketing services in contracted exhibitor theatres.

Seasonality

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. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, has become less pronounced as the motion picture studios are releasing movies somewhat more evenly throughout the year.

Government Regulation

Our Pavilion Theatre must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) to the extent that such property is “public accommodations” and/or “commercial facilities” as defined by the ADA. Compliance with the ADA requires that public accommodations “reasonably accommodate” individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to “commercial facilities” conform to accessibility guidelines unless “structurally impracticable” for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, fines, award of damages to private litigants and additional capital expenditures to remedy such non-compliance.  We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all current applicable regulations relating to accommodations for the disabled and we intend to comply with future regulations in that regard.

Our Content & Entertainment business is also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship and health and sanitation requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all of such laws.

The nature of our Content & Entertainment business does not subject us to environmental laws in any material manner.

OTHER

The Other business consists of the following:

Operations of:
Products and services provided:
Data Centers
· Provides services through its three IDCs (see below)
 
Access Digital Server Assets
· Provides hosting services and provides network access for other web hosting services

Since May 1, 2007, our IDCs have been operated by FiberMedia pursuant to a master collocation agreement.  Although we are still the lessee of the IDCs, substantially all of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia and not the Company.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 31, 2008, we had 295 employees, of which 45, working primarily at the Pavilion Theatre, are part-time and 250 are full-time.  Of our full-time employees, 74 are in sales and marketing, 102 are in operations, 14 are in research and development, 22 are in technical services, and 38 are in finance and administration.  The Pavilion Theatre has a collective bargaining agreement with one union which covers three union projectionists, one of whom is a full-time employee.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company’s Internet website address is www.accessitx.com. The Company will make available, free of charge at the “For Our Shareholders” section of its website, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

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.  An inability to obtain necessary financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations and prospects.  The agreement for a credit facility (the “GE Credit Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) 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 and is non-recourse to the Company and our subsidiaries.  In August 2007, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued 10% Senior Notes (the “2007 Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0 million (the “August 2007 Private Placement”). The 2007 Senior Notes restrict the Company and its subsidiaries (other than AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries) from incurring other indebtedness, creating or acquiring subsidiaries which do not guarantee such notes, making certain investments and modifying authorized capital and which prohibits the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness in an aggregate of $315.0 million until certain conditions are met.

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 data center, a part of our initial business, became operational in December 2000.  Subsequent thereto, we added additional data centers and expanded into the following new business areas which are currently our primary focus:  (a) providing satellite delivery services, through our wholly-owned subsidiary AccessIT Satellite; (b) operating a movie theatre, through our wholly-owned subsidiary ADM Cinema; (c) placing digital cinema projection systems into movie theatres 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

 
11

 

ACS and (e) operating an alternate content distribution company, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture.  Although we have retained certain 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 business areas may prove costly and time-consuming and have become our primary business focus.

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

· increased operating and capital costs;
· an inability to effect a viable growth strategy;
· service interruptions for our customers; and
· an inability to attract and retain customers.

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 a development 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 development companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, including:

· limited operating experience;
· net losses;
· lack of sufficient customers or loss of significant customers;
· insufficient revenues and cash flow to be self-sustaining;
· necessary capital expenditures;
· an unproven business model;
· a changing business focus; and
· difficulties in managing potentially rapid growth.

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

If the current digital technology changes, demand for DMS’ delivery systems and software may be reduced and if use of the current digital presentation requiring electronic delivery does not expand, DMS’ business will not experience growth.

Even though we are among the first to integrate software and systems for the delivery of digital content to movie theatres and other venues, there can be no assurance that certain major movie studios or providers of alternative digital content that currently rely on traditional distribution networks to provide physical delivery of digital files will quickly adopt a different method, particularly electronic delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theatres or other venues or that those major movie studios or content providers that currently utilize electronic delivery to distribute digital content will continue to do so. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not continue to occur, the demand for DMS’ delivery systems and software will not grow and if new technology is developed which is adopted by major movie studios or providers of alternative digital content, there may be reduced demand 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 continued demand for the digital cinema software and delivery services provided by DMS.  DMS’ profitability depends largely upon the general expansion of digital presentations at theatres, which may not occur for several years.  Although AccessIT DC has entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with seven motion picture studios, there can be no assurance that these and other major movie studios which are currently relying on traditional distribution

 
12

 

networks to provide physical delivery of digital files will adopt a different method, particularly electronic delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theatres 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 continue to occur, there may be reduced demand or 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.  We are also subject to limitations on our ability to make acquisitions pursuant to the 2007 Senior Notes.  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.

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.  Most recently, in July 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of ACS and in January 2007, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture, purchased substantially all of the assets of BP/KTF, LLC.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively market the services provided by 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 just under 300 in March 2008.  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

 
13

 

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.  We have intellectual property consisting of:

· licensable software products;
· rights to certain domain names;
· registered service marks on certain names and phrases;
· various unregistered trademarks and service marks;
· know-how;
· rights to certain logos; and.
· a pending patent application with respect to certain of our software.

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 patents with respect to much of our software.  Because there is no patent protection in respect of much 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.  Further, our pending patent application may not be issued and if issued may not be broad enough to protect our rights, or if such patent is issued such patent could be successfully challenged.

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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, AccessIT DC’s customers comprised 78.7% of Media Services revenues. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, ACS and our Pavilion Theatre comprised 74.8% and 21.4% 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.  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, five customers, 20th Century Fox, Disney Worldwide Services, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Releasing Corporation and Warner Brothers, each represented 10% or more of AccessIT DC’s revenues and together generated 57.3%, 8.2%, 21.0% and 47.1% of AccessIT DC’s, AccessIT SW’s, AccessDM’s and the Media Service segment’s revenues, respectively.  In addition, many of our revenue-generating assets, including the assets of AccessIT DC, are located in movie theatres nationwide, which we do not own or control.  If some portion of these assets were out of service for any reason, such as the closure of exhibitor locations or a calamity that causes a physical property loss such as fire or flood, we would experience an interruption in the amount of revenues we generate until those assets could be restored to service.

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

 
14

 

amounts aggregating $267.7 million as of March 31, 2008.  We also have a capital lease obligation covering facilities with the principal amount of $5.9 million as of March 31, 2008.

In August 2007, we issued the 2007 Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0 million.  Additionally, AccessIT DC, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into the GE Credit Facility, which permits us to borrow up to $217.0 million of which $201.3 million has been drawn down as of March 31, 2008 and is included in the notes payable to third parties mentioned above.  The obligations and restrictions under the GE Credit Facility, the 2007 Senior Notes and our other debt obligations could have important consequences for us, including:

 · 
limiting our ability to obtain necessary financing in the future and making it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations;
 · 
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements;
 · 
making us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business; and
 · 
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that might have stronger balance sheets or better access to capital by, for example, limiting our ability to enter into new markets.

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 the 2007 Senior Notes in August 2007 impose certain limitations on us.

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

· make certain capital expenditures;
· incur other indebtedness;
· engage in a new line of business;
· sell certain assets;
· acquire, consolidate with, or merge with or into other companies; and
· enter into transactions with affiliates.

The agreements governing our issuance of the 2007 Senior Notes in August 2007 restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things:

· incur other indebtedness;
· create or acquire subsidiaries which do not guarantee the notes;
· make certain investments;
· pay dividends; and
· modify authorized capital.

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 report.  Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material

 
15

 

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:

· reducing capital expenditures;
· reducing research and development efforts;
· selling assets;
· restructuring or refinancing our remaining indebtedness; and
· seeking additional funding.

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 March 31, 2008, we had positive working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $14.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $29.7 million; we had an accumulated deficit of $100.7 million; and, from inception through such date, and we had used $33.6 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 Phase I Deployment or expected Phase II Deployment, 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 June 6, 2008, 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 43.0% of our outstanding common stock.  In particular, A. Dale Mayo, our President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially holds all 733,811 shares of Class B common stock, and 230,388 shares of Class A common stock which collectively represent approximately 5.0% of our outstanding common stock, and includes 59,761 restricted shares of Class A common stock, 87,500 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 22.5% 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.

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 theatre 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

 
16

 

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.  Although we are still the lessee of the IDCs, substantially all of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia and not the Company.

We may not be successful in the eventual 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 from June 2009 through January 2016.  As of March 31, 2008, obligations under these operating leases totaled $8.5 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.

If the market price of our common stock declines, we may not be able to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market which may impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly.

The stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of such companies. These broad market movements may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Company’s Common Stock is presently listed on NASDAQ.  Although we are not currently in jeopardy of delisting, we cannot assure you, should the Company’s Common Stock decline significantly, that the Company will meet the criteria for continued listing on NASDAQ. Any such delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the loss of confidence in our financial stability by suppliers, customers and employees. If the Company’s Common Stock is delisted from the NASDAQ, we may face a lengthy process to re-list the Company’s Common Stock, if we are able to re-list the Company’s Common Stock at all, and the liquidity that NASDAQ provides will no longer be available to investors.

If the Company’s Common Stock were to be delisted from NASDAQ, the holders of the 2007 Senior Notes would have the right to redeem the outstanding principal of the 2007 Senior Notes plus interest. As a result, 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. If we default under the 2007 Senior Notes obligations, our lenders could take actions that would restrict our operations.

While we believe we currently have adequate internal control over financial reporting, we are required to assess our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis and any future adverse results from such assessment could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.
 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the accompanying rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC to implement it require us to include in our Form 10-K an annual report by our management regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The report includes, among other things, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. During this process, if our management

 
17

 

identifies one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that cannot be remediated in a timely manner, we will be unable to assert such internal control is effective. While we currently believe our internal control over financial reporting is effective, the effectiveness of our internal controls in future periods is subject to the risk that our controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and, as a result, the degree of compliance of our internal control over financial reporting with the applicable policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective (or if our independent auditors disagree with our conclusion), we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never paid any cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (together, the “Common Stock”) and do not anticipate paying any on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future payment of dividends on our Common Stock will be in the sole discretion of our board of directors (the “Board”).  At the present time, the Company and its subsidiaries, other than AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries, are prohibited from paying dividends under the terms of the 2007 Senior Notes.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this document.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-K, including statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which are indicated by words or phrases such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “estimates,“ and similar words are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent, as of the date of this report, our judgment relating to, among other things, future results of operations, growth plans, sales, capital requirements and general industry and business conditions applicable to us.  These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

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 theatres and other venues.  In the past, we have generated revenues from two primary businesses, Media Services and 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, but did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We realigned our focus to three primary businesses, Media Services, Content & Entertainment and Other. 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.  Our Other business is attributable to the Data Center Services.

Since May 1, 2007, our IDCs have been operated by FiberMedia pursuant to a master collocation agreement.  Although we are still the lessee of the IDCs, substantially all of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia and not the Company.

We have incurred net losses of $17.1 million, $26.0 million and $35.7 million in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and we have an accumulated deficit of $100.7 million as of March 31, 2008. 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following is a discussion of our critical accounting policies.

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 as follows:

Computer equipment
3-5 years
Digital cinema projection systems
10 years
Other projection system equipment
5 years
Machinery and equipment
3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures
3-6 years
Vehicles
5 years


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.


 
23

 

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Internal Use Software

We account 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 five 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

We account 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. We review capitalized software costs for impairment on a 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 fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  Amortization of capitalized software development costs, included in direct operating costs, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 amounted to $0.5 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million, 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 fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, unbilled receivables under such customized software development contracts aggregated $1.5 million, $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Media Services

Our Media Services revenues are generated as follows:

Revenues consist of:
 
Accounted for in accordance with:
Software licensing, including customer licenses and application service provider (“ASP Service”) agreements.
 
Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,
“Software Revenue Recognition”
Software maintenance contracts, and professional consulting services, which includes systems implementation, training, custom software development services and other professional services, delivery revenues via satellite and hard drive, data encryption and preparation fee revenues, satellite network monitoring and maintenance fees, movie theatre admission and concession revenues, virtual print fees (“VPFs”) and alternative content fees (“ACFs”).
 
Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104
“Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”
(“SAB No. 104”).
Cinema advertising service revenues and distribution fee revenues.
 
SOP 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or
Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”)

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 our 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.

 
24

 


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 our revenue recognition policies described above.

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. We have 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.  We recognize 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 our participation in box office receipts.  We have 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.

Data Center Services

Our Data Center Services revenues were generated as follows:

Revenues consist of:
 
Accounted for in accordance with:
License fees for data center space, hosting and network access fees, electric, cross connect fees and riser access charges,  non-recurring installation and consulting fees, network monitoring and maintenance fees.
 
SAB No. 104

Since May 1, 2007, our IDCs have been operated by FiberMedia pursuant to a master collocation agreement.  Although we are still the lessee of the IDCs, substantially all of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia and not us.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2006 and 2007

Revenues

Revenues were $16.8 million and $47.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $30.3 million or 181%. The increase was driven largely by the ACS Acquisition, VPF revenues, license fees earned for our TCC software and the Bigger Picture Acquisition offset by reduced revenues from our IDCs. We expect AccessIT DC’s VPF revenues, and DMS digital distribution related revenues to significantly increase as an increasing number of Systems are placed into service in support of AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.  We also expect ACS cinema on-screen advertising revenues and alternative content distribution related revenues of The Bigger Picture to increase significantly as both will have operations for a full year.

Direct Operating Costs

Total direct operating costs were $11.5 million and $22.2 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $10.7 million or 93%. The increase was attributable to the ACS Acquisition, payroll and other operating costs.  We expect an increase in direct operating costs, primarily in payroll and other costs related to the impact of the operations of ACS and The Bigger Picture for a full year, offset by reduced direct operating costs from our IDCs as those costs will be reimbursed by FiberMedia.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.9 million and $18.6 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $9.7 million or 109%. The increase was primarily due to the ACS Acquisition and increased company-wide staffing costs. We expect an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses mainly in payroll and other expenses related to the impact of the operations of ACS and The Bigger Picture for a full year.  As of March 31, 2006 and 2007 we had 140 and 348 employees, respectively, of which 54 and 52, respectively, were part-time employees and 0 and 115, respectively, were salespersons.  We anticipate an increase in employees going forward as we expect to hire as employees some of the subcontracted technical staff we used during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Total stock-based compensation expense was $0 and $2.9 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.  We anticipate that we will experience a decrease in our total stock-based compensation expense as $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 related to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123(R) (see Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements).

Loss on Disposition of Assets

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we recognized a loss of $2.6 million on the disposition of assets related to our IDCs.  Included in this loss was the write-off of all the IDC net assets as of March 31, 2007 and the estimated fiscal 2008 IDC net loss for those expenses not fully reimbursable by FiberMedia.  The disposition of our Data Center Services represented a strategic realignment of our technical and financial resources, thus enabling us to focus on what we believe are more profitable business opportunities.  It was determined that the agreement being negotiated with FiberMedia prevented us from continuing to classify the IDCs as discontinued operations as we retained significant involvement in the operations of the IDCs.  We remain as the lessee of the relevant facilities until such time that landlord consents can be obtained to assign each facility lease to FiberMedia.

Depreciation Expense on Property and Equipment

Total depreciation expense was $3.7 million and $14.7 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $11.0 million or 298%. The increase was primarily attributable to the depreciation for the assets to support AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment. We anticipate that we will experience an increase in our total depreciation expense consistent with the depreciation of an increasing number of Systems purchased by AccessIT DC in support of its Phase I Deployment.

Amortization Expense of Intangible Assets

Total amortization expense was $1.3 million and $2.8 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1.5 million or 112%. The increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of intangible assets due to the ACS Acquisition and the Bigger Picture Acquisition. We anticipate that we will experience a slight increase in our total amortization expense as the intangible assets associated with both the ACS Acquisition and the Bigger Picture Acquisition are expensed for a full fiscal year.

Interest Income

Total interest income was $0.3 million and $1.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million or 351%. The increase was directly attributable to the amount of cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, resulting from the funds received from the March 2006 Offering, the March 2006 Second Offering, the October 2006 Private Placement and borrowings from the GE Credit Facility.  We anticipate that we will experience a decrease in our interest income as the above mentioned funds are used for operations and for additional Systems purchased by AccessIT DC in support of its Phase I Deployment.

Interest expense

Total interest expense was $3.6 million and $9.2 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $5.6 million or 152%.  Total interest expense included $2.2 million and $7.3 million of interest paid and accrued along with $1.4 million and $1.9 million of non-cash interest expense for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.  The increase in interest paid and accrued was primarily due to the interest expense, unused credit facility fees and the amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on the GE Credit Facility and interest associated with ACS’s Excel Credit Facility and Excel Term Note offset by the reduced interest expense associated with the $7.6 million of 7% Convertible Debentures and

 
26

 

$1.7 million of 6% convertible notes issued in February 2005 (the “6% Convertible Notes”) converted to equity. Additionally, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 included $730 thousand of debt issuance costs which was charged to interest expense in connection with the conversion of all of our Convertible Debentures and 6% Convertible Notes. We anticipate that we will experience an increase in our total interest expense consistent with the increase in our obligations under the GE Credit Facility in support of AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.  We anticipate that we will experience an increase in our interest expense consistent with the borrowings from the GE Credit Facility by AccessIT DC in support of its Phase I Deployment.  The increase in non-cash interest was primarily due to the value of the shares issued as payment of interest on the $22.0 million of Senior Notes during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 versus non-cash interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 resulting from the accretion of the value of warrants to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock attached to the $7.6 million Convertible Debentures (which bore interest at 7% per year), the 5-Year Notes and $1.0 million that was expensed for the remaining accretion of the notes in connection with the conversion of the $7.6 million of the Convertible Debentures.  We do not anticipate any significant increase in our non-cash interest expense.

Debt conversion expense

Total debt conversion expense was $6.3 million and $0 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The prior year included the value of the New Shares (as defined in Note 6) and New Warrants (as defined in Note 6) issued as a result of the conversion of the $7.6 million Convertible Debentures in August 2005.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Total other income, net was $1.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 compared to other expense, net of $0.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, an increase in expense of $2.1 million or 128%. The increase in expense was directly attributable to other income resulting from the change in value of the July 2005 Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 6) and the New Warrants in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, while there was no such other income in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2007 and 2008

Revenues

Revenues were $47.1 million and $81.0 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $33.9 million or 72%.  The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased VPF revenues, in the Media Services segment, attributable to the increased number of Systems installed in movie theatres.  There were 2,275 Systems installed at March 31, 2007 compared to 3,723 Systems installed at March 31, 2008.  The increase in revenues also resulted from the acquisition of ACS, part of the Content & Entertainment segment, whose operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since August 1, 2006. Revenues in the Other segment decreased due to the IDCs disposition at March 31, 2007.  We expect revenues to remain at current levels until there is an increase in the number of Systems we have deployed from our anticipated  Phase II Deployment, due to the resultant VPFs and other revenue sources, including, content delivery and distribution of alternative content, generated from digitally equipped movie theatres.

Direct Operating Costs

Total direct operating costs were $22.2 million and $26.6 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $4.4 million or 20%. The increase in direct operating costs was predominantly in the Content & Entertainment segment and was due to the acquisition of ACS, which operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since August 1, 2006, mainly due to the minimum guaranteed obligations under theatre advertising agreements with exhibitors for displaying cinema advertising and due to the acquisition of The Bigger Picture, which operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since February 1, 2007.  Direct operating costs in the Other segment decreased due to the IDCs disposition at March 31, 2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $18.6 million and $23.2 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $4.6 million or 25%.  The increase was primarily in the Content & Entertainment segment and was due to the acquisitions of ACS and The Bigger Picture, which operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since August 1, 2006 and February 1, 2007, respectively.  The increased expenses were partially offset by reduced staffing levels.  As of March 31, 2007 and 2008 we had 348 and 295 employees, respectively, of which 52 and 45, respectively, were part-time employees and 115 and 74, respectively, were salespersons.  Due to reduced headcount levels during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, primarily from the consolidation of sales territories in ACS resulting in a reduced sales and

 
27

 

administrative work force within the Content & Entertainment segment, we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to decrease as compared to prior periods.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Total stock-based compensation expense was $2.9 million and $0.5 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease was a result of the one-time charge related to our adoption of SFAS 123(R) (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements) during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Loss on Disposition of Assets

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we recognized a loss of $2.6 million on the disposition of assets related to our IDCs.  Included in this loss was the write-off of all the IDC net assets as of March 31, 2007 and the estimated fiscal 2008 IDC net loss for those expenses not fully reimbursable by FiberMedia.  The disposition of our Data Center Services represented a strategic realignment of our technical and financial resources, thus enabling us to focus on what we believe are more profitable business opportunities.  It was determined that the agreement being negotiated with FiberMedia prevented us from continuing to classify the IDCs as discontinued operations as we retained significant involvement in the operations of the IDCs.  We remain as the lessee of the relevant facilities until such time that landlord consents can be obtained to assign each facility lease to FiberMedia.

Impairment of intangible asset

During fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, we recorded an expense for the impairment of intangible asset of $1.6 million.  In connection with The Bigger Picture Acquisition, approximately $2.1 million of the purchase price was allocated to a certain customer contract.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the customer decided not to continue its contract with The Bigger Picture.  As a result, the unamortized balance of $1.6 million was charged to expense and recorded as an impairment of intangible asset in the consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation Expense on Property and Equipment

Total depreciation expense was $14.7 million and $29.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $14.6 million or 99%.  The increase was primarily attributable to the depreciation for the increased amount of assets to support AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.  The value of digital cinema projection systems has increased by $96.5 million since the period ended March 31, 2007.

Amortization Expense of Intangible Assets

Total amortization expense was $2.8 million and $4.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $1.5 million or 55%.  The increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of intangible assets due to the acquisitions of ACS and The Bigger Picture, whose operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since August 1, 2006 and February 1, 2007, respectively.

Interest expense

Total interest expense was $9.2 million and $29.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $20.1 million or 220%.  Total interest expense included $7.3 million and $22.3 million of interest paid and accrued along with $1.9 million and $7.0 million of non-cash interest expense for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  The increase in interest paid and accrued was primarily due to the interest, unused credit facility fees and the amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on the GE Credit Facility and the amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on the One Year Senior Notes and the 2007 Senior Notes.  With the completion of our Phase I Deployment, we do not expect any significant further borrowings under the GE Credit Facility, and therefore, pending any Phase II Deployment related borrowings, we expect our interest expense to stabilize.  If management elects to pay the interest on the 2007 Senior Notes with shares of Class A Common Stock, the payments would result in non-cash interest expense.  The increase in non-cash interest was due to the value of the shares issued as payment of interest on the One Year Senior Notes and the 2007 Senior Notes, the amortization of the value of shares issued in advance as Additional Interest on the 2007 Senior Notes, and a pro-rata portion of the value of the minimum shares to be issued as quarterly payment of Additional Interest on the 2007 Senior Notes for the eight quarters from December 2008 through August 2010.  The One Year Senior Notes were repaid with the proceeds from the 2007 Senior Notes in August 2007.  Non-cash interest could continue to increase depending on management’s future decisions to pay interest payments on the 2007 Senior Notes in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock.

Debt refinancing expense

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, we recorded debt refinancing expense of $1.1 million, of which $0.4 million related to the unamortized debt issuance costs of the One Year Senior Notes and $0.7 million for shares of Class A Common Stock issued to certain holders of the One Year Senior Notes as an inducement for them to enter into a securities purchase agreement with us in August 2007.

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.

Our management believes that the net proceeds generated by our recent financing transactions, combined with our cash on hand and cash receipts from existing operations, will be sufficient to permit us to meet our obligations through June 30, 2009.

In August 2006, AccessIT DC entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), 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 under the GE Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2008, $201.3 million was borrowed under the GE Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 8.58%. 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 and is non-recourse to the Company and its other subsidiaries.

In October 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we issued 8.5% Senior Notes (the “One Year Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $22 million (the “October 2006 Private Placement”) and received net proceeds of approximately $21.0 million.  In August 2007, the One Year Senior Notes were repaid in full with a portion of the proceeds received in connection with the August 2007 Private Placement, as discussed below.

In May 2007, we received $5.0 million of vendor financing (the “Vendor Note A”) for equipment used in AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.  The Vendor Note A bore interest at 15% and was permitted to be prepaid without penalty. A mandatory principal amount of $0.6 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest was paid in December 2007.  The Vendor Note A and all accrued interest was due and payable in July 2008. If the Vendor Note A was repaid in full by March 31, 2008, the interest rate would become 8%, retroactive to the beginning of the note term.  In February 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the Vendor Note A of $4.4 million was repaid in full.

In August 2007, AccessIT DC received $9.6 million of vendor financing (the “Vendor Note B”) for equipment used in AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment. The Vendor Note B bears interest at 11% and may be prepaid without penalty.  Interest is due semi-annually commencing February 2008.  The balance of the Vendor Note B, together with all unpaid interest is due on the maturity date of August 1, 2016.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of the Vendor Note B was $9.6 million.

In August 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we issued 10% Senior Notes (the “2007 Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0 million (the “August 2007 Private Placement”) and received net proceeds of approximately $53.0 million. The term of the 2007 Senior Notes is three years which may be extended for one 6 month period at our discretion if certain conditions are met.  Interest on the 2007 Senior Notes will be paid on a quarterly basis in cash or, at our option and subject to certain conditions, in shares of its Class A Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). In addition, each quarter, we will issue shares of Class A Common Stock to the Purchasers as payment of additional interest owed under the 2007 Senior Notes based on a formula (“Additional Interest”).  We may prepay the 2007 Senior Notes in whole or in part following the first anniversary of issuance of the 2007 Senior Notes, subject to a penalty of 2% of the principal if the 2007 Senior Notes are prepaid prior to the two year anniversary of the issuance and a penalty of 1% of the principal if the 2007 Senior Notes are prepaid thereafter, and subject to paying the number of shares as Additional Interest that would be due through the end of the term of the 2007 Senior Notes.  The Purchase Agreement also requires the 2007 Senior Notes to be guaranteed by each of our existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), other than AccessIT DC and its respective subsidiaries. Accordingly, each of the Guarantors entered into a subsidiary guaranty (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”) with the Purchasers pursuant to which it guaranteed our obligations under the 2007 Senior Notes.  We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which we agreed to register the resale of any shares of its Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2007 Senior Notes at any time and from time

 
29

 

to time.  As of March 31, 2008, all shares issued to the holders of the 2007 Senior Notes have been registered for resale.  Under the  2007 Senior Notes we agreed (i) to limit its and its subsidiaries' indebtedness to an aggregate of $315.0 million and (ii) not to, and not to cause its subsidiaries (except for AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries) to, incur indebtedness, with certain exceptions, including an exception for $10.0 million; provided that no more than $5.0 million of such indebtedness is incurred by AccessDM or AccessIT Satellite or any of their respective subsidiaries except as incurred by AccessDM pursuant to a guaranty entered into in accordance with the GE Credit Facility (see below).  Additionally, the Company and our subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness in connection with the deployment of Systems beyond our initial rollout of up to 4,000 Systems, if certain conditions are met.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the 2007 Senior Notes was $55.0 million.

As of March 31, 2008, AccessIT DC has paid $278.5 million for Systems ordered in connection with AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.

As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $29.7 million and our working capital was $14.0 million.

Operating activities used net cash of $5.5 million, $19.2 million and $0.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The increase in cash used by operating activities, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, was primarily due to an increase of accounts receivable related to the USM Acquisition and the reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increased net loss offset by adjustments not requiring cash, specifically depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, loss on disposition of assets and non-cash interest expense.  The decrease in cash used by operating activities, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, was primarily due to a reduction in cash used for accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and unbilled revenues and additionally offset by adjustments not requiring cash, specifically depreciation and amortization and non-cash interest expense.  We expect operating activities to begin providing cash to operations as the balance of accounts receivable is reduced by collections.  However, if and when a Phase II Deployment is finalized, we would expect an increase in accounts receivable.

Investing activities used net cash of $50.9 million, $135.3 million and $96.9 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The increase in cash used by investing activities, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, was due to the purchase of and deposits paid for additional digital cinema projection systems and other assets, primarily in connection with AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment along with the purchase of PLX and USM (see Note 3) offset by the maturities and sales of available-for-sale investment securities. The decrease in cash used by investing activities, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, was due to reduced payments for purchases of and deposits paid for property and equipment, as our Phase I Deployment was completed during the quarter ended December 2007, offset by reduced maturities of available-for-sale securities.  We expect investing activities to continue to use cash for the remaining payments due on Systems purchased for AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.  If and when a Phase II Deployment is finalized, we would expect an increase in capital expenditures resulting in an increase in cash used by investing activities.

Financing activities provided net cash of $88.2 million, $147.2 million and $97.6 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, was primarily due to the net proceeds from the GE Credit Facility (see Note 6) and the October 2006 Private Placement (see Note 6) offset slightly by the repayments of notes payable, credit facilities and debt issuance costs.  The decrease in cash provided by financing activities, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, was mainly due to reduced borrowings under the GE Credit Facility, offset by increased proceeds from the 2007 Senior Notes and other notes payable.  As AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment was completed during the quarter ended December 2007, financing activities are expected to start using net cash for principal repayments on the GE Credit Facility, which begin in August 2008.  However, we have engaged a third-party to assist us in refinancing the GE Credit Facility, although, the terms of any such refinancing are not known at this time.  If and when a Phase II Deployment is implemented, we expect an increase in cash provided by financing activities for borrowings under a financing that we intend to enter into, in connection with the Phase II Deployment.

(1) 
Includes applicable interest.
(2) 
Excludes interest on the 2007 Senior Notes to be paid on a quarterly basis that may be paid, at our option and subject to certain conditions, in shares of our Class A Common Stock.  Other than the first quarterly interest payment in September 2007, all subsequent quarterly interest payment have been paid in shares of our Class A Common Stock.
(3) 
Includes operating lease agreements for the IDCs now operated by FiberMedia, which total aggregates to $8.5 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.  However, FiberMedia has been reimbursing our lease-related IDC expenses in increasing monthly increments and as of May 1, 2008, FiberMedia is reimbursing 100% of our lease-related IDC expenses.
(4) 
Includes interest at a weighted average interest rate of 8.58%, however, effective August 1, 2008, the interest rate will become fixed at 7.3% pursuant to an Interest Rate Swap (see “Subsequent Events” below).

We expect to continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future primarily due to depreciation and amortization, interest on funds advanced under the GE Credit Facility, interest on the 2007 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 2007 Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement may limit our ability to obtain financing, make it more difficult to satisfy our debt obligations or require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our 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.

Seasonality

Content & Entertainment revenues derived from our Pavilion Theatre and Media Services revenues derived from the collection of VPFs from motion picture studios 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 April 2008, AccessIT DC entered into an Interest Rate Swap also known as a "synthetic fixed rate financing" for 90% of the amounts outstanding under the GE Credit Facility at a fixed rate of 7.3%, to hedge AccessIT DC’s exposure to increases in interest rate under the GE Credit Facility. GE Corporate Financial Services arranged the transaction, which will take effect commencing August 1, 2008 as required by the GE Credit Facility.

In April 2008, in connection with the acquisition of Managed Services in January 2004, we issued 15,219 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock as additional purchase price based on the subsequent performance of the business acquired.  There was no underwriter associated with this privately negotiated transaction.  These shares were issued in reliance upon applicable exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In April 2008, in connection with the acquisition of the Access Digital Server Assets, we issued 30,000 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock as additional purchase price based on the subsequent performance.  There was no underwriter associated with this privately negotiated transaction.  These shares were issued in reliance upon applicable exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In May 2008, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register an additional 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for future interest payments on the 2007 Senior Notes.

In May 2008, AccessDM entered into a credit facility with NEC Financial Services, LLC (the “NEC Facility”) to fund the purchase and installation of equipment to enable the exhibition of 3-D live events in movie theatres as part of our CineLiveSM product offering.  The NEC Facility provides for maximum borrowings of up to $2.0 million, repayments over a 47 month period, and interest at an annual rate of 8.25%.

Subsequent to March 31, 2008, under the Plan (see Note 7), we granted 5,500 stock options to employees at an exercise price ranging from $3.87 to $5.49 per share. In addition, we granted 620,250 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and 103,450 RSUs to five non-employee members of our Board.  Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock, based on a three year vesting period, however, we have the discretion to settle in shares of Class A Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases in the ordinary course of business, which is disclosed above in the table of our significant contractual obligations.

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 7A. 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 and cash equivalents. The interest rate on certain advances under the GE Credit Facility fluctuates with the bank’s prime rate.  As of March 31, 2008, $201.3 million was borrowed under the GE Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 8.58%.

Pursuant to the GE Credit Facility, AccessIT DC is required to enter into some form, or combination, of interest rate swap agreements, cap agreements, collar agreements and insurance (“Interest Rate Contracts”) and thereafter maintain Interest Rate Contracts on terms and with counter-parties reasonably satisfactory to GECC until August 2013 for an amount equal to at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding at August 2008.  These Interest Rate Contracts will provide protection against fluctuation of interest rates.  In April 2008, AccessIT DC entered into an Interest Rate Swap also known as a "synthetic fixed rate financing" for 90% of the amounts outstanding under the GE Credit Facility at a fixed rate of 7.3%, to hedge AccessIT DC’s exposure to increases in interest rate under the GE Credit Facility. GE Corporate Financial Services arranged the transaction, which will take effect commencing August 1, 2008 in accordance with the terms of the GE Credit Facility.

The Company’s customer base is primarily composed of businesses throughout the United States.  The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and the status of its accounts receivable and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a result, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

As of March 31, 2008, we have not entered into any derivative financial instruments.  All sales and purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Access Integrated Technologies, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2007 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Access Integrated Technologies, Inc.'s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated June 13, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Access Integrated Technologies, Inc.
 
We have audited Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the "Company") internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").  The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the years then ended, and our report dated June 13, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. (“AccessIT” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000.  The Company provides fully managed storage, electronic delivery and software services and technology solutions for owners and distributors of digital content to movie theatres and other venues.  In the past, the Company generated revenues from two primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”) and internet data center (“IDC” or “data center”) services (“Data Center Services”), a business the Company no longer operated after May 1, 2007. Beginning April 1, 2007, the Company made changes to its organizational structure which impacted the Company’s reportable segments, but did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company realigned its focus to three primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”), media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”) and other (“Other”). The Company’s 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 the Company at what the Company believes 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.  The Company’s Content & Entertainment business provides motion picture exhibition to the general public and cinema advertising and film distribution services to movie exhibitors.  The Company’s Other business is attributable to the Data Center Services.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company incurred net losses of $17,123, $25,999 and $35,687, respectively, and cash used in operating activities of $5,488, $19,190 and $443, respectively. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $100,692 as of March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, the Company also has contractual obligations (including interest and excluding non-cash interest) of $47,854 for the fiscal year 2009. Management expects that the Company will continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future. Certain of these costs could be reduced if working capital decreased. Based on the Company’s cash position at March 31, 2008, and expected cash flows from operations, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its obligations through June 30, 2009. The Company may attempt to raise additional capital from various sources for equipment requirements related to the Company’s Phase II Deployment or for working capital as necessary. There is no assurance that such financing will be completed as contemplated or under terms acceptable to the Company or its existing shareholders. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments which may result from the outcome of such uncertainties.

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. d/b/a AccessIT Advertising and Creative Services (“ACS”),  Vistachiara Productions, Inc. d/b/a The Bigger Picture (“The Bigger Picture”) and Access Digital Cinema Phase 2 Corp. (“Phase 2 Corporation”). 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the carrying values of its fixed assets and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the

 
 
F-10

 

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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be “cash equivalents.” The carrying amount of the Company’s cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these investments and consists primarily of money market funds and other overnight investments. The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that the risk of any loss is minimal.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company held investment securities which were principally auction rate perpetual preferred securities.  However, as of each year end date, the Company was not invested in these securities.  The Company classified all investment securities as available-for-sale. Securities accounted for as available-for-sale were required to be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, excluded from net income and shown separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. The securities that the Company had classified as available-for-sale generally traded at par and as a result typically did not have any realized or unrealized gains or losses.

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 Phase I Deployment (see Note 8). During AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment, such amounts were classified as long-term assets due to the nature of the assets underlying these deposits, although such deposits were to be offset against invoices from Christie when the associated invoices were paid.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $3,802 of unapplied deposits which are combined with accounts payable and accrued expenses, as AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment was finalized, and the related projection systems had been delivered and installed.

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 as follows:

Computer equipment
3-5 years
Digital cinema projection systems
10 years
Other projection system equipment
5 years
Machinery and equipment
3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures
3-6 years
Vehicles
5 years

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.  Upon the sale or other disposition of any property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other obligations, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of the related instruments.




 
 
 
F-11

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company’s customer base is primarily composed of businesses throughout the United States.  The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and the status of its accounts receivable and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a result, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.  Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of notes payable and capital lease obligations approximates fair value.

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.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company 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 March 31, 2008, the Company’s 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 June 2007, the unamortized balance of the liquor license (for the Pavilion Theatre) was charged to other expense.  In connection with The Bigger Picture Acquisition (see Note 3), $2,071 of the purchase price was allocated to a certain customer contract.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the customer decided not to continue its contract with The Bigger Picture.  As a result, the unamortized balance of $1,588 was charged to expense and recorded as impairment of intangible asset in the consolidated financial statements.  At March 31, 2008, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of any other intangible assets.

In addition, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of AccessIT SW, Managed Services, AccessIT Satellite, the Pavilion Theatre, PLX, ACS and The Bigger Picture.  Goodwill related to the acquisition of the Pavilion Theatre was reduced in September 2005 in connection with the early retirement of the outstanding note payable (see Note 6).  In September 2006, the amount of goodwill related to the Pavilion Theatre was reduced by $107 for the remaining unpaid amount related to the holdback of funds at the time of purchase.  At March 31, 2008, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill.

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 five years.  The Company has not sold, leased or licensed software developed for internal use to the Company’s customers and the Company has 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. The Company reviews capitalized software costs for impairment on a 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 fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  Amortization of capitalized software development costs, included in direct operating costs, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 amounted to $547, $840 and $590, 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 fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, unbilled receivables under such customized software development contracts aggregated $1,492, $1,405 and $1,187, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Media Services

The Company’s Media Services revenues are generated as follows:

Revenues consist of:
 
Accounted for in accordance with:
 
Software licensing, including customer licenses and application service provider (“ASP Service”) agreements.
 
Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,
“Software Revenue Recognition”
 
Software maintenance contracts, and professional consulting services, which includes systems implementation, training, custom software development services and other professional services, delivery revenues via satellite and hard drive, data encryption and preparation fee revenues, satellite network monitoring and maintenance fees, movie theatre admission and concession revenues, virtual print fees (“VPFs”) and alternative content fees (“ACFs”).
 
Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104
“Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 104”).
 
Cinema advertising service revenues and distribution fee revenues.
 
SOP 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or
Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”)
 



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.

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.

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.

Data Center Services

The Company’s Data Center Services revenues were generated as follows:

Revenues consist of:
 
Accounted for in accordance with:
 
License fees for data center space, hosting and network access fees, electric, cross connect fees and riser access charges,  non-recurring installation and consulting fees, network monitoring and maintenance fees.
 
SAB No. 104
 

Since May 1, 2007, the Company’s IDCs have been operated by FiberMedia pursuant to a master collocation agreement.  Although the Company is still the lessee of the IDCs, substantially all of the revenues and expenses are being realized by FiberMedia and not the Company.

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, exhibitors 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.

Effective March 8, 2006, the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the acceleration of the vesting of all unvested stock options awarded under the Company’s stock incentive plans. The primary purpose of the acceleration was to eliminate the impact of $3,098 of future stock-based compensation expense, of which $1,410 is related to stock options held by the Company’s executive officers and members of the Board, that would have been recognized over the next three years as the stock options vested as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R).  The Company will not be required to recognize future compensation expense for the accelerated stock options under SFAS No. 123(R) unless further modifications are made to the stock options, which are not anticipated.

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. At the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 14, 2006, the expansion of the Company’s stock incentive plan was approved by the shareholders. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, stock-based compensation expense of $2,920 was recorded, of which $2,779 related to the 436,747 stock options awarded in excess of options eligible to be granted under the Company’s stock incentive plan prior to its expansion and $141 relates to stock options granted on or after April 1, 2006. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, stock-based compensation expense of $453 was recorded.   The Company has estimated that the stock-based compensation expense, using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, related to such stock options currently outstanding at March 31, 2008, will be approximately $700 for the fiscal year 2009 (see Note 7 for further discussion of stock options).

Previously, the Company accounted for its stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations. As such, stock-based compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant only if the current fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company followed the disclosure standards of SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosures”, which amended SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based


 
 
 
F-15

 

Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), which required the Company to provide pro forma net loss and net loss per share disclosures for stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value based method of accounting for stock options as defined in SFAS 123 had been applied.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based compensation for the year ended March 31, 2006:

NET LOSS PER SHARE AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Computations of basic and diluted net loss per share of the Company’s Common Stock have been made in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”.  Basic and diluted net losses per share have been calculated as follows:

Basic and diluted net loss per share =
Net loss
 
Weighted average number of common shares
 outstanding during the period

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

The Company has incurred net losses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 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.  Potentially dilutive shares excluded from the computations aggregated 2,712,993, 2,827,743 and 3,406,654 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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 Company adopted FIN 48 on April 1, 2007 and had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

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 plans to adopt SFAS 157 on April 1, 2008, and does not believe it will be affected by its adoption.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as


 
 
 
F-17

 

an asset or liability in the reporting entity’s statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. SFAS 158 also requires the reporting entity to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. A reporting entity with publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 158 on April 1, 2007 and was not affected by its adoption.

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 plans to adopt SFAS 159 on April 1, 2008, and does not believe it will be affected by its adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”).  SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting for business combinations.  Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions.  SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  SFAS 141(R) will impact the Company in the event of any future acquisition after the date of adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company does not believe that SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not believe that SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3,”Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”).  FSP FAS 142-3 applies to all recognized intangible assets and its guidance is restricted to estimating the useful life of recognized intangible assets. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. We will be required to adopt FSP FAS 142-3 to intangible assets acquired beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

3.           ACQUISITIONS

On January 1, 2006, the Company purchased the domain name, website, customer list and the IP address space of Ezzi.net and certain data center-related computer equipment of R & S International, Inc. (together the “Access Digital Server Assets”).  The Access Digital Server Assets were acquired to complement the Company’s existing Data Center Services business and are primarily used for hosting services and providing network access for other web hosting services.  The purchase price of $448 included a cash payment of $140 and 23,445 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock issued in April 2006 valued at $308.  In addition in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company paid an additional purchase price of $164, which consisted of a cash payment of $35 and 30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $129, which were issued in April 2008.

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.

The total purchase price of $1,640, including estimated transaction costs, allocated to the net assets acquired based upon the results of an appraisal of fair value, was as follows:

Accounts receivable

The finite-lived intangible assets of $209, are estimated to have useful lives ranging from three to five years, and have a weighted-average amortization period of 3.24 years.

In July 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of ACS (the “ACS 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 ACS (the “ACS Stockholders”) in the principal amount of $5,204 (see Note 6). The results of ACS’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since August 1, 2006. The Company also agreed to pay to the ACS 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 the Company’s sole discretion. In April 2007 and July 2007, such digital cinema deployment milestones were met, and the Company issued 67,906 and 77,955 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, respectively, with a value of $1,000 to the ACS Stockholders as additional purchase price (see Note 7).  The Company also assumed $5,914 of ACS’s debt, of which $5,598 relates to ACS’s revolving credit facility (see Note 6).

The total purchase price of approximately $16,400, including estimated transaction costs, allocated to the net assets acquired based upon the results of an appraisal of fair value, was as follows:

In December 2006, ACS’s revolving credit facility, assumed in the ACS Acquisition, was converted into a term loan (see Note 6)  In August 2007, the outstanding principal balance of $6,390 for the Excel Term Note was repaid in full with a portion of the proceeds from the August 2007 Private Placement (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 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 total purchase price of approximately $4,300, including estimated transaction costs, allocated to the net assets acquired based upon the results of an appraisal of fair value, was as follows:

Of the $3,058 of customer relationships and contracts, $2,071 was allocated to a certain customer contract.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the customer decided not to continue its contract with The Bigger Picture.  As a result, the unamortized balance of $1,588 was charged to expense and recorded as impairment of intangible asset in the consolidated financial statements and is included in the Content & Entertainment segment.  The remaining finite-lived intangible assets of $1,347 are estimated to have useful lives of five years.

The following pro forma information shows the results of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, as though the above acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of each 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 ACS 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 ACS 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 dates indicated above or the results that may be obtained in the future.

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.  During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company repaid principal of $595 and $655 on the HS Notes.  On March 31, 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.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the HS Notes was $540.

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 fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, principal repayments of $450 and $450, respectively, were made. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, non-cash interest expense resulting from the Boeing Note was $130, $91 and $48, respectively.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of the Boeing Note, including imputed interest, was $450.

The First ACS Note is payable in twelve equal quarterly installments commencing on October 1, 2006 until July 1, 2009. The Second ACS 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 ACS 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. As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the First ACS Note was $635.

Prior to the ACS Acquisition (see Note 3), ACS 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.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the SilverScreen Note was $133.

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 “One Year Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000 (the “October 2006 Private Placement”). The term of the One Year 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 One Year 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 interest owed under the One Year 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 One Year Senior Notes at any time and from time to time. Pursuant to the One Year Senior Notes, the Company issued 46,750 shares of Class A Common Stock as Additional Interest in payment of the first quarterly interest on the One Year Senior Notes, due December 31, 2006. The Company elected to pay the quarterly interest due December 31, 2006 in shares of its Class A Common Stock and issued 53,029 Interest Shares. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 on January 26, 2007, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 15, 2007.  Subsequent Additional Interest payments will be made quarterly in arrears at the end of each quarterly period beginning March 31, 2007. Pursuant to the One Year Senior Notes, the Company issued 81,768 shares of Class A Common Stock as Additional Interest in payment of the quarterly interest on the One Year Senior Notes, due March 31, 2007. The Company elected to pay the quarterly interest due March 31, 2007 in shares of its Class A Common Stock and issued 78,720 Interest Shares. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 on April 27, 2007, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 18, 2007.  The Company may prepay the One Year Senior Notes in whole or in part, without penalty, subject to paying the Additional Interest. The net proceeds of approximately $20,965 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 One Year Senior Notes, (ii) working capital and (iii) other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Purchase Agreement also requires the One Year 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 One Year Senior Notes.

In February 2007, the Company and the Purchasers of the One Year Senior Notes agreed to amend the One Year Senior Notes to: (i) remove the market conditions that would otherwise restrict the Company from extending the term of the One Year 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.  In August 2007, the One Year Senior Notes were repaid in full with a portion of the proceeds from the refinancing which closed in August 2007, which is discussed further below.  In August 2007, the Company recorded debt refinancing expense of $1,122, of which $436 related to unamortized debt issuance costs and $686 for shares of Class A Common Stock issued to certain holders of the One Year Senior Notes (see Note 6) as an inducement for them to enter into a securities purchase agreement with the Company in August 2007.

In May 2007, the Company received $5,000 of vendor financing (the “Vendor Note A”) for equipment used in AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment.  The Vendor Note A bore interest at 15% and was permitted to be prepaid without penalty. A mandatory principal amount of $617 plus all accrued and unpaid interest was paid in December 2007.  The Vendor Note A and all accrued interest was to become due and payable in July 2008. If the Vendor Note A was repaid in full by March 31, 2008, the interest rate would become 8%, retroactive to the beginning of the note term.  In February 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the Vendor Note A of $4,383 was repaid in full.

In August 2007, AccessIT DC obtained $9,600 of vendor financing (the “Vendor Note B”) for equipment used in AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment. The Vendor Note B bears interest at 11% and may be prepaid without penalty.  Interest is due semi-annually commencing February 2008.  The balance of the Vendor Note B, together with all unpaid interest is due on the maturity date of August 1, 2016.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of the Vendor Note B was $9,600.

In August 2007, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued 10% Senior Notes (the “2007 Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $55,000 (the “August 2007 Private Placement”). The term of the 2007 Senior Notes is three years which may be extended for one 6 month period at the discretion of the Company if certain conditions are met.  Interest on the 2007 Senior


 
 
 
F-25

 

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 additional interest owed under the 2007 Senior Notes based on a formula (“Additional Interest”).  The Company may prepay the 2007 Senior Notes in whole or in part following the first anniversary of issuance of the 2007 Senior Notes, subject to a penalty of 2% of the principal if the 2007 Senior Notes are prepaid prior to the two year anniversary of the issuance and a penalty of 1% of the principal if the 2007 Senior Notes are prepaid thereafter, and subject to paying the number of shares as Additional Interest that would be due through the end of the term of the 2007 Senior Notes.  The net proceeds of approximately $53,200 from the August 2007 Private Placement are expected to be used for expansion of digital cinema rollout plans, to pay off the existing obligations under the $22,000 of One Year Senior Notes, to pay off certain other outstanding debt obligations, for investment in digital projection systems and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Purchase Agreement also requires the 2007 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 its 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 2007 Senior Notes.  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 2007 Senior Notes at any time and from time to time.  As of December 31, 2007, all shares issued to the holders of the 2007 Senior Notes have been registered for resale (see Note 7).  Under the  2007 Senior Notes the Company agreed (i) to limit its and its subsidiaries' indebtedness to an aggregate of $315,000 and (ii) not to, and not to cause its subsidiaries (except for AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries) to, incur indebtedness, with certain exceptions, including an exception for $10,000; provided that no more than $5,000 of such indebtedness is incurred by AccessDM or AccessIT Satellite or any of their respective subsidiaries except as incurred by AccessDM pursuant to a guaranty entered into in accordance with the GE Credit Facility (see below).  At the present time, the Company and its subsidiaries, other than AccessIT DC and its subsidiaries, are prohibited from paying dividends under the terms of the 2007 Senior Notes.  Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness in connection with the deployment of Systems beyond the Company’s initial rollout of up to 4,000 Systems, if certain conditions are met.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the 2007 Senior Notes was $55,000.

CREDIT FACILITIES

In July 2006, in connection with the ACS Acquisition (see Note 3), the Company assumed $5,598 of debt relating to ACS’s $7,500 revolving credit facility with Excel Bank (the “Excel Credit Facility”). The Excel Credit Facility bore interest at a rate between 2.75% to 3.5% over the current one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), depending on ACS’s leverage ratio. A quarterly unused line fee was due equal to 0.25% of the excess of $7,500 over the average outstanding balance of the Excel Credit Facility during the quarter. Under the Excel Credit Facility, ACS would pay interest only through December 31, 2008. The balance of the principal amount, together with all unpaid interest on such borrowings and any fees incurred by ACS pursuant to the Excel Credit Facility are due on the maturity date of December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the Excel Credit Facility, ACS’s bank deposits in excess of a minimum balance were swept from time to time by Excel Bank toward the repayment of the Excel Credit Facility.  The Excel Credit Facility was repaid in full, as discussed below.

In December 2006, in connection with the conversion of 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 are 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. The Excel Term Note is not guaranteed by the Company or its other subsidiaries, other than ACS.  Since April 1, 2007, the Company paid quarterly installments which repaid principal of $360 on the Excel Term Note.  In August 2007, the outstanding principal balance of $6,390 for the Excel Term Note was repaid in full with a portion of the proceeds from the August 2007 Private Placement, which is discussed further above.

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 Phase I Deployment (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


 
 
 
F-26

 

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 March 31, 2008, $201,279 was borrowed under the GE Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 8.58%.

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 the GE Credit Facility, as amended, AccessIT DC is required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. Material covenants include a leverage ratio, and an interest coverage ratio.  In September 2007, AccessIT DC entered into the third amendment with respect to the GE Credit Facility to (1) lower the interest reserve from 12 months to 9 months; (2) modify the definition of total equity ratio to count as capital contributions (x) up to $23,300 of permitted subordinated indebtedness and (y) up to $4,000 of previously paid and approved expenses that were incurred during the deployment of digital systems; (3) change the leverage ratio covenant; (4) add a new consolidated senior leverage ratio covenant; and (5) change the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.

Pursuant to the GE Credit Facility, AccessIT DC will be required to enter into some form, or combination, of interest rate swap agreements, cap agreements, collar agreements and insurance (“Interest Rate Contracts”) and thereafter maintain Interest Rate Contracts on terms and with counter-parties reasonably satisfactory to GECC until August 2013 for an amount equal to at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding at August 2008.  These Interest Rate Contracts will be in order to provide protection against fluctuation of interest rates.  In April 2008, AccessIT DC completed an Interest Rate Swap also known as a "synthetic fixed rate financing", under which AccessIT DC would hedge its exposure to increases in interest rate under the GE Credit Facility. GE Corporate Financial Services arranged the transaction, which will take effect commencing August 1, 2008 in accordance with the terms of the GE Credit Facility.

At March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

The aggregate principal repayments on the Company’s notes payable are scheduled to be as follows:

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

CAPITAL STOCK

In March 2004, in connection with the acquisition of certain assets from the Boeing Company (the “Boeing Digital Asset Acquisition”), the Company issued 53,534 unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Boeing Shares”) to the Boeing Company (“Boeing”), as part of the purchase price. At any time during the ninety day period beginning March 29, 2005 to June 29, 2005, Boeing had the option to sell the Boeing Shares to the Company in exchange for $250 in cash, which the Company classified under commitments and contingencies. The ninety day period expired on June 29, 2005, and Boeing did not require the Company to repurchase the Boeing Shares.  Accordingly, the amount of $250 was credited to additional paid-in capital.

In August 2004, the Company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which may be purchased at prevailing prices from time-to-time in the open market depending on market conditions and other factors.  As of March 31, 2007, the Company has repurchased 51,440 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $172, including fees, which have been recorded as treasury stock.

In July 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain institutional and other accredited investors in a private placement (the “July 2005 Private Placement”) to issue and sell 1,909,115 unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock at a sale price of $9.50 per share and warrants to the investors for gross proceeds of $18,137.  The Company agreed to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued with the SEC.  The Company filed a Form S-3 on August 18, 2005, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 31, 2005.

In August 2005, in connection with the Conversion Agreement (see Note 6), all Convertible Debentures Warrants were exercised for $2,487 and the Company issued 560,196 shares of Class A Common Stock.  The Company also issued 71,359 New Shares to the investors, and another 8,780 Placement Agent Shares.  The Company was required to register the resale of the shares of the Class A Common Stock underlying the Convertible Debentures Warrants with the SEC.   The Company filed a Form S-3 on March 11, 2005, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 21, 2005.  The Company was also required to register the New Shares and the Placement Agent Shares on Form S-3 with the SEC.  The Company filed a Form S-3 on November 16, 2005, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 2, 2005.

In September 2005, in connection with the Exchange Offer completed in March 2004 (see Note 6), the AMEX 30-day average closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock exceeded $12.00, and therefore, the Company converted all of the 6% Convertible Notes into 307,871 shares of Class A Common Stock, of which 248,282 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to certain officers and directors of the Company. The Company registered the resale of 59,589 of these shares of Class A Common Stock on Form S-3 with the SEC.  The Company filed a Form S-3 on November 16, 2005, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 2, 2005.

ACCESSIT STOCK OPTION PLAN

Stock Options

AccessIT’s stock option plan (“the Plan”) currently provides for the issuance of up to 2,200,000 options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock to employees, outside directors and consultants.  On June 9, 2005, the Company’s Board approved the expansion of the Plan from 850,000 to 1,100,000 options, which was approved by the shareholders at the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting held on September 15, 2005.  On July 6, 2006, the Board approved the expansion of the Plan from 1,100,000 to 2,200,000 options, which was approved by the shareholders at the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting held on September 14, 2006.  On May 9, 2008, the Board approved an amendment to the Plan, which was not required to be approved by the shareholders, to allow for the grant of restricted stock units in addition to the other equity-based awards available under the Plan.

Awards under the Plan may be in any of the following forms (or a combination thereof) (i) stock option awards; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) stock or restricted stock or restricted stock units; or (iv) performance awards.  The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. ISOs granted to shareholders of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company must have exercise prices of at least 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. ISOs and non-statutory stock options granted under the Plan are subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is subject to the continuous service of the participant. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options are set at the discretion of the Company’s Board. Upon a change of control of the Company, all stock options (incentive and non-statutory) that have not previously vested will vest immediately and become fully exercisable. In connection with the grants of stock options under the Plan, the Company and the participants have executed stock option agreements setting forth the terms of the grants.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, under the Plan, the Company granted 644,197 stock options to its employees and 50,000 stock options to five non-employee members of the Company’s Board, all at an exercise price ranging from $3.19 to $9.04 per share.

ACCESSDM STOCK OPTION PLAN

In May 2003, AccessDM adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “AccessDM Plan”) under which ISOs and nonstatutory stock options may be granted to employees, outside directors, and consultants. The purpose of the AccessDM Plan is to enable AccessDM to attract, retain and motivate employees, directors, advisors and consultants. AccessDM reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of AccessDM’s common stock for issuance upon the exercise of stock options granted in accordance with the AccessDM Plan. Options granted under the AccessDM Plan expire ten years following the date of grant (five years for shareholders who own greater than 10% of the outstanding stock) and are subject to limitations on transfer. Options granted under the AccessDM Plan vest generally over three-year periods. The AccessDM Plan is administered by AccessDM’s Board.

The AccessDM Plan provides for the granting of ISOs with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of AccessDM’s common stock on the date of grant. ISOs granted to shareholders of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of AccessDM must have exercise prices of at least 110% of the fair market value of AccessDM common stock on the date of grant. ISOs and non-statutory stock options granted under the AccessDM Plan are subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is subject to the continuous service of the participants. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options are set at the discretion of AccessDM’s Board. Upon a change of control of AccessDM, all stock options (incentive and non-statutory) that have not previously vested will vest immediately and become fully exercisable. In connection with the grants of stock options under the AccessDM Plan, AccessDM and the participants have executed stock option agreements setting forth the terms of the grants.

Private Placement Warrants are exercisable beginning on February 18, 2006 for a period of five years thereafter. The July 2005 Private Placement Warrants are callable by the Company, provided that the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is $22.00 per share, 200% of the applicable exercise price, for twenty consecutive trading days. The Company agreed to register the resale of the shares of the Class A Common Stock underlying the July 2005 Private Placement Warrants with the SEC.  The Company filed a Form S-3 on August 18, 2005, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 31, 2005. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, 10,000 of the July 2005 Private Placement Warrants were exercised for $110 in cash, and the Company issued 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of March 31, 2008, 467,275 July 2005 Private Placements Warrants remained outstanding.

In accordance with EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled In, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), and the terms of the July 2005 Private Placement Warrants, the fair value of the July 2005 Private Placement Warrants were initially accounted for as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to the carrying value of the Common Stock. Such liability was reclassified to equity as of the August 31, 2005 effective date of the Form S-3.

The fair value of the July 2005 Private Placement Warrants was estimated to be $800 on the closing date of the transaction, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividends, risk-free interest rate of 3.84%, the contractual life of 5-years and volatility of 55%. In September 2005, the fair value of the July 2005 Private Placement Warrants was re-measured and estimated to be $1,050 and the increase in the fair value of $250 was recorded as other expense.

The Company filed a Form S-3 on November 16, 2005, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 2, 2005.  As of March 31, 2008, 760,196 New Warrants remained outstanding.

In accordance with EITF 00-19, and the terms of the New Warrants, the fair value of the New Warrants was initially accounted for as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to the carrying value of the Common Stock.   Such liability was reclassified to equity as of the December 2, 2005 effective date of the Form S-3.The fair value of the New Warrants was estimated to be $4,990 on the closing date of the transaction, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividends, risk-free interest rate of 4.01%, a contractual life of 5-years and volatility of 56%. At September 30, 2005, the fair value of the New Warrants was re-measured and estimated to be $3,490.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pursuant to a digital cinema framework agreement and related supply agreement, as amended, entered into with Christie through the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, AccessIT DC, in June 2005, AccessIT DC may order up to 4,000 Systems from Christie (the “Phase I Deployment”).

In connection with AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment, the Company 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.  AccessIT DC also entered into master license agreements with sixteen motion picture exhibitors for the placement of Systems in movie theatres (including screens at AccessIT’s Pavilion Theatre).  In December 2007, AccessIT DC completed its Phase I Deployment with 3,723 Systems installed.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company has paid approximately $278,500 towards Systems ordered and installation costs incurred in connection with AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment. 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 (see Note 5).  The motion picture exhibitors were required to make monthly interest only payments through October 2007 and are required to make quarterly principal and interest payments thereafter.

In December 2007, AccessIT DC’s Phase I Deployment was completed and as of March 31, 2008, there were no significant Phase I purchase obligations not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

INCOME TAXES

The Company did not record any current or deferred income tax benefit from income taxes in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance equal to its net deferred tax assets for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008.  The Company is required to recognize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets if it believes that it is more likely than


 
 
 
F-38

 

 not, given the weight of all available evidence, that all or a portion of its deferred tax assets will be realized.  Management assesses the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date based on actual and forecasted operating results.  The Company assessed both its positive and negative evidence to determine the proper amount of its required valuation allowance.  Factors considered include the Company's current taxable income and projections of future taxable income.  Management increased the valuation allowance by $6,914 and $12,262 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  The increase of the valuation allowance of $6,914 for the year ended March 31, 2007 is net of a decrease to the valuation allowance of $1,964.  The decrease to the valuation allowance of $1,964 resulted from net taxable temporary differences acquired from ACS, including future intangible asset amortization.  Management will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date based on actual and forecasted operating results.

At March 31, 2008, the Company had Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $102,000 available to reduce future taxable income.  The federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2020.  The Company also has a charitable contribution carryforward of approximately $325 thousand at March 31, 2008, available to offset future federal and state taxable income, but limited to 10% of such income. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of net operating losses that may be utilized in future years.  Depending on a variety of factors, this limitation, if applicable, could cause a portion or all of these net operating losses to expire before utilization.

The differences between the United States statutory federal tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows:

Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes. The adoption of this interpretation did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements, as the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2007 or during the year ended March 31, 2008.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. For federal income tax purposes, the Company’s fiscal 2005 through 2008 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three year statute of limitations.  For state tax purposes, the Company’s fiscal 2004 through 2008 tax years generally remain open for examination by most of the tax authorities under a four year statute of limitations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2008, AccessIT DC entered into an Interest Rate Swap also known as a "synthetic fixed rate financing" for 90% of the amounts outstanding under the GE Credit Facility at a fixed rate of 7.3%, to hedge AccessIT DC’s exposure to increases in interest rate under the GE Credit Facility. GE Corporate Financial Services arranged the transaction, which will take effect commencing August 1, 2008 as required by the GE Credit Facility.

In April 2008, in connection with the acquisition of Managed Services in January 2004, the Company issued 15,219 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock as additional purchase price based on the subsequent performance of the business acquired.

In April 2008, in connection with the acquisition of the Access Digital Server Assets, the Company issued 30,000 shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock as additional purchase price based on the subsequent performance.

In May 2008, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register an additional 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for future interest payments on the 2007 Senior Notes.

In May 2008, AccessDM entered into a credit facility with NEC Financial Services, LLC (the “NEC Facility”) to fund the purchase and installation of equipment to enable the exhibition of 3-D live events in movie theatres as part of the Company’s CineLiveSM product offering.  The NEC Facility provides for maximum borrowings of up to $2,000, repayments over a 47 month period, and interest at an annual rate of 8.25%.

Subsequent to March 31, 2008, under the Plan (see Note 7), the Company granted 5,500 stock options to employees at an exercise price ranging from $3.87 to $5.49 per share. In addition, the Company granted 620,250 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and 103,450 RSUs to five non-employee members of the Company’s Board.  Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock, based on a three year vesting period, however, the Company has the discretion to settle in shares of Class A Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof.

ITEM 9A.
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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


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.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·  
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·  
provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and
·  
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the level of compliance with related policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that assessment, our management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2008. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Eisner LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
