MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except share amounts)
1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Majesco Entertainment Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Majesco Europe
Limited (Majesco, we or the Company), is a provider of interactive entertainment products.
The Companys offerings include video game software and other digital entertainment products.
The Companys products provide it with opportunities to capitalize on the large and growing
installed base of interactive entertainment platforms and an increasing number of interactive
entertainment enthusiasts. The Company sells its products directly and through resellers, primarily
to U.S. retail chains, including Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Wal-Mart. Majesco also sells
products, on a limited basis, internationally through partnerships with international publishers or
licensing arrangements. The Company has developed retail and distribution network relationships
over its more than 23-year history.
Majesco provides offerings for most major interactive entertainment hardware platforms,
including Nintendos Wii, DS, and DSI, Sonys PlayStation 3, or PS3, PlayStation 2, or PS2, and
PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsofts Xbox and Xbox 360, the personal computer, or PC, and
mobile devices.
Majescos offerings include video game software and other digital entertainment products. The
Companys operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed
and sold domestically and licensed or sold internationally. The Company is centrally managed and
the chief operating decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and
other financial information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product
title and platform for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance.
Accordingly, the Company operates in a single segment. Net sales by geographic region were as

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Companys financial results are
impacted by the seasonality of the retail selling season and the timing of the release of new
titles. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at October 31, 2009 has been derived from
the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes for the year
ended October 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on January
29, 2010.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue upon the shipment of its products when:
(1) title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection
of related accounts receivable is probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street
date (the earliest date these products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these
products is not recognized prior to their street date. Some of the Companys software products
provide limited online features at no additional cost to the consumer. Such features have been
considered to be incidental to the Companys overall product offerings and an inconsequential
deliverable. Accordingly, the Company does not defer any revenue related to products containing
these limited online features. However, in instances where online features or additional
functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to the software product, such
characteristics will be taken into account when applying the Companys revenue recognition policy.
6
In addition, some software products are sold exclusively as downloads of digital content for
which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue from product
downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all other
recognition criteria are met).
Inventory. Inventory consists of finished goods valued at the lower of cost or market.
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include
development fees, in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers, and
direct payroll and overhead costs for the Companys internal development studio. Software
development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and
management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For products for which
proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological
feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software development
that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development costs.
Commencing upon a related products release capitalized software development costs and prepaid
license fees are amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of current
revenue to total projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected marketable life
of the product.
The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is
usually no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or
revised forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the
charge to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of
capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the
expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate. When, in managements
estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, the
Company expenses these capitalized costs to cost of salessoftware development costs and license
fees, in the period such a determination is made. These expenses may be incurred prior to a games
release. If a game is cancelled and never released to market, the amount is expensed to general and
administrative expenses. As of January 31, 2010, the net carrying value of the Companys licenses
and software development costs was $2.5 million. If the Company was required to write off
licenses, due to changes in market conditions or product acceptance, its results of operations
could be materially adversely affected.
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the disclosure of gain or
loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these
financial statements are the estimated provisions for price protection and customer allowances, the
valuation of inventory and the recoverability of advance payments for software development costs
and intellectual property licenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Per Share. Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic income per
share excludes the impact of unvested shares of restricted stock issued as long term incentive
awards to directors, officers and employees. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
impact of common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock and outstanding common stock
purchase warrants. The table below provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted average shares
outstanding, after applying the treasury stock method.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Amendments to Variable Interest Entity Guidance In June 2009, the FASB issued new
guidance which requires an enterprise to determine whether its variable interest or interests give
it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity is the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of
a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entitys economic performance and
(2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the
variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be
significant to the variable interest entity. The guidance also now requires ongoing reassessments
of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The guidance is
effective at the start of a Companys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009
(November 1, 2010 for the Company). The Company is still evaluating the impact that the
adoption of this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, cash flows and
results of operations.
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements In October 2009, the FASB issued new
guidance related to the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new rules
amend the existing guidance for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and
establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. These new
rules will become effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2011. The
Company is still evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its
consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements In October 2009, the
FASB issued new guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements by excluding
tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to
deliver the products essential functionality and instead have these types of transactions be
accounted for under other accounting literature in order to determine whether the software and
non-software components function together to deliver the products essential functionality. These
new rules will become effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2011. The
Company is still evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its
consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Fair Value In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC 820-10 Measuring Liabilities at
Fair Values (ASC 820-10). The update to ASC 820-10 requires disclosure of significant transfers
in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and a gross
presentation of activity within the Level 3 rollforward, presenting separately information about
purchases, sales issuances and settlements. The update to ASC 820-10 will be adopted by the Company
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3
rollforward which will be adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update to ASC 820-10, but does not expect the
adoption to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows.
Reclassifications. For comparability, certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2010.
Commitments and Contingencies. The Company records a liability for commitments and
contingencies when the amount is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.
3. FAIR VALUE
As of November 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance for Fair Value Measurements which establishes a
three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This
hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as
quoted prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes
certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use
significant unobservable inputs.
8
The table below segregates all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on
a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the
inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

On September 5, 2007, the Company issued warrants in connection with a private placement of
its common stock. The warrants entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of 1,586,668 shares of
common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.04 per share and a term of five years, and
became exercisable six months from the issue date. The warrants contain a provision that may
require settlement by transferring assets under certain change of control circumstances. Therefore,
they are classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.
The Company measures the fair value of the warrants at each balance sheet date, and records
the change in fair value as a non-cash charge or gain to earnings each period. The warrants were
valued at $424 and $626 at January 31, 2010 and October 31,
2009, respectively. The Company
recorded a non-cash gain of $202, and a non-cash charge of $135, due to the change in fair value of
warrants during the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company used
the Black-Scholes method to value the warrants, assuming volatility ranging from 63.2% to 76.1% and
a cost of capital ranging from 1.43% to 4.16%.
The following table is a roll forward of the fair value of the Warrants, as to

4. INCOME TAXES
In December 2009 and November 2008, the Company received proceeds of approximately $1,656 and
$1,115, respectively, from the sale of the rights to approximately $21,200 and $25,900,
respectively, of New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology
Business Tax Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. As
of January 31, 2010, the Company has approximately $32,900 of net operating loss carryforwards
remaining in the state
9
of New Jersey, after the transfer. Net proceeds from the transfers have been recorded as an
income tax benefit during the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009.
The Company has recorded a provision for federal alternative minimum taxes of $0.1 million for
each of the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009. No other provision for income taxes has
been recorded because the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards to offset any
taxable income.

10. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Commitments
At January 31, 2010, the Company was committed under agreements with certain developers for
future milestone and license fee payments aggregating $3,746, which are payable within one year
from the balance sheet date. Milestone payments represent scheduled installments due to the
Companys developers based upon the developers providing the Company certain deliverables, as
predetermined in the Companys contracts. The milestone payments generally represent advances
against royalties to the developers. These payments will be used to reduce future royalties due to
the developers from sales of the Companys video games.
The Company has entered into at will employment agreements with certain key executives.
These employment agreements include provisions for, among other things, annual compensation, bonus
arrangements and equity compensation. These agreements also contain provisions relating to
severance terms and change of control provisions.
11. WORKFORCE REDUCTION
During January 2010, Company management initiated a plan of restructuring to better align its
workforce to its revised operating plans. As part of the plan, the Company reduced its personnel
count by 16 employees, representing 17% of its workforce.
Employees directly affected by the restructuring plan received notification during the three months
ended January 31, 2010. The Company recorded charges of approximately $403 in the first quarter of
2010 in connection with the terminations, which consist primarily of severance and unused vacation
payments. The expenses are included in operating costs and expenses as shown in the table below:

12. RELATED PARTIES
11
The Company currently has an agreement with Morris Sutton, the Companys former Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman Emeritus, under which he provides services as a consultant. The
agreement provides for a monthly retainer of $13. Mr. Sutton was also eligible to receive a
commission in an amount equal to 2% of net sales to certain accounts before January 1, 2010.
Commissions were recorded when the sales occurred, but are not paid until payments of the related
accounts receivable are received from customers. Therefore, some of these payments will be made to
Mr. Sutton in 2010. Consulting expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2009 include $28 of
fees earned in each of November and December of 2008 under Mr. Suttons prior agreement which
expired on December 31, 2008.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical
are forward-looking information and statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements
regarding managements expectations, intentions, or strategies regarding future matters. All
forward-looking statements included in this document are based on available information as of the
date hereof. It is important to note that actual results could differ materially from those
projected in such forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The
forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous
risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments regarding among
other things, the Companys ability to secure financing or investment for capital expenditures,
future economic and competitive market conditions, and future business decisions. All these matters
are difficult or impossible to predict accurately, many of which may be beyond Majescos control.
Although management believes that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance
that the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be
accurate.
Overview
We are a provider of interactive entertainment products. We sell our products primarily to
large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video game rental outlets and distributors. We also
sell our products, on a limited basis, internationally through distribution agreements with other
publishers or licensing agreements. We have developed our retail and distribution network over our
23-year history.
We publish video game software for most major interactive entertainment hardware platforms,
including Nintendos Wii, DSi, and DS, Sonys PlayStation 3 (PS3) Sonys PlayStation 2 (PS2) and
PlayStation Portable, (PSP), Microsofts Xbox and Xbox 360, the personal computer (PC) and
other mobile devices.
Our video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points. In some
instances, these titles are based on licenses of well-known properties, and in other cases based on
original properties. We collaborate and enter into agreements with content providers and video game
development studios for the creation of the majority of our video games.
Our business model and product strategy is primarily focused on games with relatively lower
development costs for both console and handheld systems targeting mass market consumers. We
believe this strategy allows us to capitalize on our strengths and expertise while reducing some of
the cost and risk associated with publishing console titles for core gamers. We continue to publish
titles for popular handheld systems such as the DS and PSP. We also publish software for Nintendos
Wii console, as we believe this
12
platform allows us to develop games within our cost parameters, while enabling us to reach
mass market consumers. In addition, we continue to look opportunistically for titles to publish on
the PC and other home console systems. More recently, other platforms such as Xbox 360 have begun
to see mass market adoption, and we have begun to develop games for this platform. We will continue
to evaluate opportunities to reach our target demographic as other platforms move in this
direction.
We license rights to intellectual property used in our video games from third parties and work
with third-party development studios to develop our own proprietary video game titles.
Our operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed
and sold domestically and internationally. The Company is centrally managed and our chief operating
decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and other financial
information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform
for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, we operate in a
single segment.
Net Revenues. Our revenues are principally derived from sales of our video games. We provide
video games primarily for the mass market and casual game player. Our revenues are recognized net
of estimated reserves for price protection and other allowances.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists of product costs and amortization and impairment of
software development costs and license fees. A significant component of our cost of sales is
product costs. These are comprised primarily of manufacturing and packaging costs of the disc or
cartridge media, royalties to the platform manufacturer and manufacturing and packaging costs of
peripherals. Commencing upon the related products release, capitalized software development and
intellectual property license costs are amortized to cost of sales. When, in managements estimate,
future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, we expense these
capitalized costs to cost of sales-loss on impairment of software development costs and license
fees future releases. These expenses may be incurred prior to a games release.
Gross Profit. Gross profit is the excess of net revenues over product costs and amortization
and impairment of software development and license fees. Development and license fees incurred to
produce video games are generally incurred up front and amortized to cost of sales. The recovery of
these costs and total gross profit is dependent upon achieving a certain sales volume, which varies
by title.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Product research and development expenses relate
principally to our cost of supervision of third-party video game developers, testing new products
and conducting quality assurance evaluations during the development cycle as well as costs incurred
at our development studio, which was closed in 2009, that are not allocated to games for which
technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred are employee-related, may include
equipment, and are not allocated to cost of sales.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist of marketing and
promotion expenses, the cost of shipping products to customers and related employee costs. A
component of these expenses is credits to retailers for trade advertising.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses primarily represent
employee-related costs, including corporate executive and support staff, general office expenses,
professional fees and various other overhead charges. Professional fees, including legal and
accounting expenses, typically represent the second largest component of our general and
administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a
publicly traded company, such as SEC filings.
Loss on Impairment of Software Development Costs and License Fees Cancelled Games. Loss on
impairment of software development costs and license fees cancelled games consists of contract
termination costs, and the write-off of previously capitalized costs, for games that were cancelled
prior to their release to market. We periodically review our games in development and compare the
remaining cost to complete each game to projected future net cash flows expected to be generated
from sales. In cases where we dont expect the projected future net cash flows generated from sales
to be sufficient to cover the remaining incremental cash obligation to complete the game, we cancel
the game, and record a charge to operating expenses. While we incur a current period charge on
these cancellations, we believe we are limiting the overall loss on a game project that is no
longer expected to perform as originally expected due to changing market conditions or other
factors. Significant management estimates are required in making these assessments, including
estimates regarding retailer and customer interest, pricing, competitive game performance, and
changing market conditions. There were no charges to loss on impairment of software development
costs and license fees cancelled games for the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009.
13
Interest and Financing Costs. Interest and financing costs are directly attributable to our
factoring and our purchase-order financing arrangements.
Income Taxes. Income taxes consists of our provision for income taxes and proceeds from the
sale of rights to certain net operating loss carryforwards in the state of New Jersey. Utilization
of our net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation
due to the change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may
result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Due to our history
of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset our NOL and other deferred tax assets
has been established under current accounting pronouncements, and this valuation allowance will be
maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.
Seasonality and Variations in Interim Quarterly Results
Our quarterly net revenues, gross profit, and operating income are impacted significantly by
the seasonality of the retail selling season, and the timing of the release of new titles. Sales of
our catalog and other products are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal
year (ending January 31 and October 31, respectively) due to increased retail sales during the
holiday season. Sales and gross profit as a percentage of sales also generally increase in quarters
in which we release significant new titles because of increased sales volume as retailers make
purchases to stock their shelves and meet initial demand for the new release. These quarters also
benefit from the higher selling prices that we are able to achieve early in the products life
cycle. Therefore, sales results in any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected
results for subsequent quarters during the fiscal year.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) became the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by
FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretative releases of the FASB Codification did not
create any new GAAP standards but incorporated existing accounting and reporting standards into a
topical structure with a new referencing system to identify authoritative accounting standards,
replaced the prior references.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could
differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the
understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these
policies on our business operations is discussed throughout managements discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected
financial results.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue upon the shipment of our product when: (1) risks and
rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) we have
no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is
probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (the earliest date these
products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these products is not recognized prior
to their street date. Some of our software products provide limited online features at no
additional cost to the consumer. Generally, we have considered such features to be incidental to
our overall product offerings and an inconsequential deliverable. Accordingly, we do not defer any
revenue related to products containing these limited online features. However, in instances where
online features or additional functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to
the software product, such characteristics will be taken into account when applying our revenue
recognition policy. In addition, some of our software products are sold exclusively as downloads of
digital content for which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue
from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all
other recognition criteria are met).
Reserves
for Price Protection and Other Allowances. We generally sell our products on a
no-return basis, although in certain instances, we provide price protection or other allowances on
certain unsold products in accordance with industry practices. Price
14
protection, when granted and applicable, allows customers a partial credit with respect to
merchandise unsold by them. Revenue is recognized net of estimates of these allowances. Sales
incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by us for assets or services
received, such as the appearance of our products in a customers national circular advertisement,
are generally reflected as selling and marketing expenses. We estimate potential future product
price protection and other discounts related to current period product revenue.
Our reserves for price protection and other allowances fluctuate over periods as a result of a
number of factors including analysis of historical experience, current sell-through of retailer
inventory of our products, current trends in the interactive entertainment market, the overall
economy, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products and other related factors.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with
establishing the allowance for returns and price protection in any accounting period. However,
actual allowances granted could materially exceed our estimates as unsold products in the
distribution channels are exposed to rapid changes in consumer preferences, market conditions,
technological obsolescence due to new platforms, product updates or competing products. For
example, the risk of requests for allowances may increase as consoles pass the midpoint of their
lifecycle and an increasing number of competitive products heighten pricing and competitive
pressures. While management believes it can make reliable estimates regarding these matters, these
estimates are inherently subjective. Accordingly, if our estimates change, this will result in a
change in our reserves, which would impact the net revenues and/or selling and marketing expenses
we report. For the three month periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, we provided allowances for
future price protection and other allowances of $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The
fluctuations in the provisions reflected our estimates of future price protection based on the
factors discussed above. We limit our exposure to credit risk by factoring a portion of our
receivables to a third party that buys them without recourse. For receivables that are not sold
without recourse, we analyze our aged accounts receivables, payment history and other factors to
make a determination if collection of receivables is likely, or a provision for uncollectible
accounts is necessary.
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include
development fees, in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers, and
direct payroll and overhead costs for our internal development studio. Software development costs
are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and management expects
such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For products where proven game engine
technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is
evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software development that are not
capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development costs. Commencing upon a
related products release capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of sales
based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of current revenue to total projected revenue or (ii)
straight-line charges over the expected marketable life of the product.
Prepaid license fees represent license fees to holders for the use of their intellectual
property rights in the development of our products. Minimum guaranteed royalty payments for
intellectual property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (prepaid license fees) and a
current liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the
contract or when specified milestones or events occur and when no significant performance
commitment remains with the licensor. Licenses are expensed to cost of sales at the higher of (i)
the contractual royalty rate based on actual sales or (ii) an effective rate based upon total
projected revenue related to such license.
Capitalized software development costs are classified as non-current if they relate to titles
for which we estimate the release date to be more than one year from the balance sheet date.
The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is
usually no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or
revised forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the
charge to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of
capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the
expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate.
When, in managements estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously
capitalized costs, we expense these capitalized costs to cost of salesloss on impairment of
software development costs and license fees future releases, in the period such a determination
is made. These expenses may be incurred prior to a games release. If a game is cancelled and never
released to market, the amount is expensed to operating costs and expenses-loss on impairment of
capitalized software development costs and license fees cancelled games. As of January 31, 2010,
the net carrying value of our licenses and software development costs was $2.5 million. If we were
required to write off licenses or software development costs, due to changes in market conditions
or product acceptance, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
15
Prepaid license fees and milestone payments made to our third-party developers are typically
considered non-refundable advances against the total compensation they can earn based upon the
sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensation earned beyond the
milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.
Inventory. Inventory, which consists principally of finished goods, is stated at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. We estimate the net
realizable value of slow-moving inventory on a title-by-title basis and charge the excess of cost
over net realizable value to cost of sales.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the
grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting
period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment,
including, in the case of stock option awards, estimating expected stock volatility. In addition,
judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be
forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation
expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
Commitments and Contingencies. We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the
amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.

Results of operations
Three months ended January 31, 2010 versus three months ended January 31, 2009
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2010 decreased to $29.2
million from $32.8 million in the comparable quarter last year. The $3.6 million decrease was
primarily due to decreased sales of games for the Nintendo Wii console. In October 2008, we
released two games for the Wii platform, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum, and Cooking Mama:
World Kitchen. The success of these games, during a time of rapid growth for the Wii platform
resulted in significant sales during the 2008 holiday selling season, which is reflected in our
results for the three months ended January 31, 2009. Comparatively, while we did release a sequel
to the Jillian Michaels game, Jillian Michaels: Resolution, for the 2009 holiday season, its
revenues were substantially lower than last years title, primarily due to similar titles
introduced by other publishers at the same time. In addition, the market for Wii games has become
more difficult as the platform has matured, and the number of games for the consumer to choose from
has increased. The decrease in Wii sales was substantially mitigated by growth in sales on the
Nintendo DS, which was driven by: (i) the introduction of Cooking Mama 3: Shop and Chop, (ii)
continued strong catalog sales of our three previously released Mama titles, and (iii) the launch
of Alvin and the Chipmunks the Sqeakquel, for the 2009 holiday season.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was $8.7 million
compared to a gross profit of $11.9 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross
profit is attributable to: (i) the lower net revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2010
discussed above; (ii) an increase in impairment of capitalized software development and license
costs future releases of $0.7 million; and (iii) a decrease in gross profit as a percentage of
net sales. Impairment of capitalized software development and license costs future releases for
the three months ended January 31, 2010 consisted of the write-down of two games in development for
the Nintendo Wii for which, given current market conditions for games on this platform, projected
net cash flows expected to be generated from sales are lower than the capitalized software
development costs and capitalized royalties required to publish the games. Impairment of
capitalized software development and license costs future releases for the three months ended
January 31, 2009 consisted of the write-off of capitalized costs incurred in our development studio
related to a game for the Nintendo DS, for which costs were not expected to be recovered through
future cash flows due to budget over-runs in development of the game. Gross profit as a percentage
of net sales, excluding the impact of the impairment of software development costs and license fees
16
future releases was 33% for the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared to 36% for the
three months ended January 31, 2009. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is
primarily attributable to a lower average selling price for Wii products during the three months
ended January 31, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in 2009. We attribute the decrease
in average selling price to increased competitiveness in the Wii marketplace as the console
matures. Gross profit as a percentage of sales, including the impact of impairment of software
development costs and license fees future releases was 30% for the three months ended January 31,
2010, compared to 36% for the three months ended January 31, 2009.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development costs decreased $0.4
million to $0.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2010, from $1.3 million for the
comparable period in 2009. The decrease is primarily the result of expenses related to our
development studio. After evaluation of the studios performance, and changes in the availability
and cost of development with our third-party partners, we reduced the number of personnel at the
studio in the second half of 2009. Additionally, approximately $0.1 million was expensed for a
video game technology project that was terminated during the three months ended January 31, 2009.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $3.1
million for the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared to $4.1 million for the three months
ended January 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower advertising media costs, partially
offset by $0.2 million in severance expenses. During the three months ended January 31, 2009 we ran
several television advertising campaigns. After analyzing the costs and benefits of these programs,
we decided to reduce our media-related expenditures during the three months ended January 31, 2010.
In addition, during the three months ended January 31, 2010, we reduced sales and production staff
in the US, and sales staff in the United Kingdom, related to the termination of our direct
distribution strategy in Europe. In total, we incurred a total of $0.4 million in severance costs
related to the staff reductions during the three months ended January 31, 2010, classified as
follows: (i) Product Research and Development Expenses of $0.1 million (ii) Selling and Marketing
Expenses of $0.2 million, and (iii) General and Administrative expenses of $0.1 million. Selling
and Marketing expense as a percentage of net sales was approximately 10% for the three months ended
January 31, 2010 compared to 13% for the three months ended January 31, 2009.
General and Administrative Expenses. For the three month period ended January 31, 2010,
general and administrative expenses were $2.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from $2.5 million
in the comparable period in 2009. The decrease is primarily due to lower compensation expenses
relating to our incentive compensation program. This incentive program is primarily based on net
income generated by the Company. General and administrative expenses include $0.5 and $0.4 million
of non-cash compensation expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Non cash compensation expense for the three months ended January 31, 2010 included
approximately $0.1 million of expense related to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock upon
termination of an employee.
Settlement of Litigation Charges. Settlement of litigation charges for the three months ended
January 31, 2009 represents the change in fair value since October 31, 2008 of one million shares
of common stock to be issued in settlement of our class action securities litigation. The shares
were issued in March of 2009.
Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was
approximately $2.5 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from $3.7 million in the comparable period
in 2009. As discussed above, decreased revenues and gross profits during the three months ended
January 31, 2010 were partially offset by decreased operating expenses during the same period.
Interest and Financing Costs, Net. Interest and financing costs were approximately $0.5
million for the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants. On September 5, 2007, we issued warrants in connection with
an equity financing. The warrants contain a provision that may require settlement by transferring
assets. Therefore, they are recorded at fair value as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.
We recorded a gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2010, reflecting the
decrease in the fair value of the warrants during the period, compared to a charge of $0.1 million
for the three months ended January 31, 2009, reflecting an increase in the fair value of warrants
during the period.
Income Taxes. For the three months ended January 31, 2010, income taxes is comprised of a
provision for alternative minimum taxes of $0.1 million, and a tax benefit of $1.6 million related
to the sale of the rights to certain state net operating loss carryforwards.
17
We recorded no provision for income taxes other than alternative minimum taxes because our net
operating loss carryforwards exceeded our taxable income.
For the three months ended January 31, 2009, income taxes is comprised of a provision for
alternative minimum taxes of $0.1 million, and a tax benefit of $1.1 million related to the sale of
the rights to certain state net operating loss carryforwards. We recorded no provision for income
taxes other than alternative minimum taxes because our net operating loss carryforwards exceeded
our taxable income.
In December 2009 and November 2008, we received proceeds of approximately $1.6 million and
$1.1 million, respectively, from the sale of the rights to approximately $21.2 million and $25.9
million of New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology Business
Tax Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. After the
transfer, we have approximately $32.9 million of net operating loss carryforwards remaining in the
state of New Jersey. Net proceeds have been recorded as an income tax benefit during each of the
three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was $3.8 million, a
decrease of $0.4 million from $4.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2009. The
decrease was primarily due to the decreased operating income discussed above, partially offset by
increased gains related to the change in fair value of warrants and sale of net operating losses
discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generated a profit of $3.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2010. However,
our operating results vary significantly from period to period. We generated a net loss of $7.2
million in 2009, net income of $3.4 million in 2008, and a net loss of $4.8 million in 2007.
Historically, we have funded our operating losses through sales of our equity and use of our
purchase order financing and factor arrangements to satisfy seasonal working capital needs. We
raised approximately $5.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of our equity securities in
September 2007, and approximately $8.6 million in September 2009.
Our current plan is to fund our operations through product sales. However, we may be required
to modify that plan, or seek outside sources of financing if our operating plan and sales targets
are not met. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at
all. In the event that we are unable to negotiate alternative financing, or negotiate terms that
are acceptable to us, we may be forced to modify our business plan materially, including making
more reductions in game development and other expenditures. Based on our current level of cash on
hand and our operating plan, management believes it can operate under the existing level of
financing for at least one year. However, if the current level of financing was reduced and we were
unable to obtain alternative financing, it could create a material adverse change in the business.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $12.7 million as of January 31, 2010. We expect
continued fluctuations in the use and availability of cash due to the seasonality of our business,
timing of receivables collections and working capital needs necessary to finance our business and
growth objectives.
To satisfy our liquidity needs, we factor our receivables. We also utilize purchase order
financing through the factor and through a finance company to provide funding for the manufacture
of our products. In connection with these arrangements, the finance company and the factor have a
security interest in substantially all of our assets.
Under our factoring agreement, we have the ability to take cash advances against accounts
receivable and inventory of up to $20.0 million, and the availability of up to $2.0 million in
letters of credit. The factor, in its sole discretion, can reduce the availability of financing at
anytime. At January 31, 2010, we had approximately $14 million available to us for advances under
the agreement, with approximately $7.0 million in outstanding advances against that amount. In
addition, we have $10.0 million of availability for letters of credit and purchase order financing
with a finance company, of which $0 was utilized at January 31, 2010.
Factoring and Purchase Order Financing. As mentioned above, to provide liquidity, we take
advances from our factor and utilize purchase order financing to fund the manufacturing of our
products.
Under the terms of our factoring agreement, we sell our accounts receivable to the factor. The
factor, in its sole discretion, determines whether or not it will accept the credit risk associated
with a receivable. If the factor does not accept the credit risk on a receivable, we may sell the
accounts receivable to the factor while retaining the credit risk. In both cases we surrender all
rights and control over the receivable to the factor. However, in cases where we retain the credit
risk, the amount can be charged back to us in the
18
case of non-payment by the customer. The factor is required to remit payments to us for the
accounts receivable purchased from us, provided the customer does not have a valid dispute related
to the invoice. The amount remitted to us by the factor equals the invoiced amount, adjusted for
allowances and discounts we have provided to the customer, less factor charges of 0.45 to 0.5% of
the invoiced amount.
In addition, we may request that the factor provide us with cash advances based on our
accounts receivable and inventory. The factor may either accept or reject our request for advances
at its discretion. Generally, the factor allowed us to take advances in an amount equal to 70% of
net accounts receivable, plus 60% of our inventory balance, up to a maximum of $2.5 million.
Occasionally the factor allows us to take advances in excess of these amounts for short-term
working capital needs. These excess amounts are typically repaid within a 30-day period. At January
31, 2010, we had no excess advances outstanding.
Amounts to be paid to us by the factor for any accounts receivable are offset by any
amounts previously advanced by the factor. The interest rate is prime plus 1.5%, annually, subject
to a 5.5% floor. In certain circumstances, an additional 1.0% annually is charged for advances
against inventory.
Manufacturers require us to present a letter of credit, or pay cash in advance, in order
to manufacture the products required under a purchase order. We utilize letters of credit either
from a finance company or our factor. The finance company charges 1.5% of the purchase order amount
for each transaction for 30 days, plus administrative fees. Our factor provides purchase order
financing at a cost of 0.5% of the purchase order amount for each transaction for 30 days.
Additional charges are incurred if letters of credit remain outstanding in excess of the original
time period and/or the financing company is not paid at the time the products are received. When
our liquidity position allows, we will pay cash in advance instead of utilizing purchase order
financing. This results in reduced financing and administrative fees associated with purchase order
financing.
Advances from Customers. On a case by case basis, distributors and other customers have agreed
to provide us with cash advances on their orders. These advances are then applied against future
sales to these customers. In exchange for these advances, we offer these customers beneficial
pricing or other considerations.
Contingencies and Commitments. We do not currently have any material commitments with respect
to any capital expenditures.
As of January 31, 2010, we had no open letters of credit for inventory purchases to be
delivered during the subsequent quarter.
We are committed under agreements with certain developers and content providers for milestone
and license fee payments aggregating $3.7 million, which are payable within the next 12 months.
As of January 31, 2010, we were committed under operating leases for office space for
approximately $1.3 million through January 31, 2015.
At times, we may be a party to routine claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such routine
claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, and
results of operations or liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of January 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $12.7 million as of January 31, 2010 compared to $11.8 million
at October 31, 2009. Working capital as of January 31, 2010 was $16.0 million compared to $11.8
million at October 31, 2009.
Operating Cash Flows. Our principal operating source of cash is from the sales of our
interactive entertainment products. Our principal operating uses of cash are for payments
associated with third-party developers of our software; costs incurred to manufacture, sell and
market our video games and general and administrative expenses.
For the three months ended January 31, 2010, we generated approximately $6.9 million in cash
flow from operating activities, compared to $6.6 million in the previous year. The increase is
primarily due to increased cash from the change in working capital
19
accounts. During the three months ended January 31, 2010, sources of cash from seasonal
reductions in our inventory, reductions in advance payments for inventory, and increases in
royalties payable, were offset by increases in amounts due from our factor. During the three months
ended January 31, 2009, sources of cash from seasonal reductions in our inventory, and increases in
royalties payable, were offset by increases in amounts due from our factor. These changes are
typical for our first quarter results as they include sales of our inventory purchased in the
fourth quarter of the prior year for the holiday season. Our receivable balance is typically higher
at January 31, as some of the receivables related to holiday sales have not yet been collected.
Investing Cash Flows. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31,
2010 and 2009 are primarily related to purchases of computer equipment and leasehold improvements.
Financing Cash Flows. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended January
31, 2010 and consists primarily of an decrease in outstanding borrowings under our purchase order
financing agreement, which was used to finance seasonal inventory purchases.

Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period
covered by this report.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
While we believe our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over
financial reporting are adequate, no system of controls can prevent errors and fraud. A control
system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur. Controls
can also be circumvented by individual acts of some people, by collusion of two or more people, or
by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of
compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Subject to the limitations above, management believes that the consolidated financial
statements and other financial information contained in this report, fairly present in all material
respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective at a
reasonable assurance level. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or that are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. |
|
Legal Proceedings |
None.
A description of the risks associated with our business, financial condition, and results
of operations is set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 2009. These factors continue to be meaningful for your evaluation of the
Company and we urge you to review and consider the risk factors presented in the Form 10-K. There
have been no material changes to these risks other than an update to one risk factor as follows, in
order to reflect information recently received from The Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq):
We may not be able to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Our common stock currently trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This market has continued
listing requirements that we must continue to maintain to avoid delisting. The standards include,
among others, a minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share and any of: (i) a minimum
stockholders equity of $2.5 million; (ii) a market value of listed securities of $35 million; or
(iii) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year
or in the two of the last three fiscal years. Our results of operations and our fluctuating stock
price directly impact our ability to satisfy these listing standards. In the event we are unable to
maintain these listing standards, we may be subject to delisting.
On March 2, 2010, we received a notice from the Nasdaq notifying us that for the 30
consecutive trading days preceding the date of the letter, the bid price of our common stock had
closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital
Market pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2).
The letter also stated that, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we will
be provided 180 calendar days, or until August 30, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum bid
price requirement. Compliance is achieved if the bid price per share of our common stock closes at
$1.00 per share or greater for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days prior to August 30, 2010.
If we do not achieve compliance within the required period, the Nasdaq staff will provide
written notification that the Companys securities are subject to delisting. In that event and at
that time, we may appeal the Nasdaq staff delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, we may be eligible for an additional grace period if we meet
the initial listing standards set forth in Marketplace Rule 5505, with the exception of bid price,
for the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we meet the initial listing criteria, the Nasdaq staff will
notify the Company that we have been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. If
the additional grace period is granted, we will be afforded the remainder of the second 180
calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.
A delisting from Nasdaq would result in our common stock being eligible for listing on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (the OTCBB). The OTCBB is generally considered to be a less
efficient system than markets such as Nasdaq or other national exchanges because of lower trading
volumes, transaction delays and reduced security analyst and news media coverage. These factors
could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock.
Additionally, trading of our common stock on the OTCBB may make us less desirable to institutional
investors and may, therefore, limit our future equity funding options and could negatively affect
the liquidity of our stock.
