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
The accompanying financial statements present the financial results of Majesco Entertainment
Company and Majesco Europe Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary, (Majesco or the Company) on a
consolidated basis.
The Company is a provider of video game products primarily for the family-oriented,
mass-market consumer. It sells its products primarily to large retail chains, specialty retail
stores, video game rental outlets and distributors. It publishes video games for major current
generation interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendos DS, DSi and Wii,
Sonys PlayStation 3, or PS3, and PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsofts Xbox 360 and the
personal computer, or PC. It also publishes games for numerous digital platforms, including mobile
platforms such as iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, as well as online platforms such as Facebook.
The Companys video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price
points. Due to the larger budget requirements for developing and marketing premium console titles
for core gamers, the Company focuses on publishing more casual games targeting mass-market
consumers. In some instances, its titles are based on licenses of well-known properties and, in
other cases based on original properties. The Company enters into agreements with content providers
and video game development studios for the creation of its video games.
The Companys operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are
developed and sold domestically and internationally. The Company may also enter into agreements
with licensees, particularly for sales of its products internationally. The Company is centrally
managed and its 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 revenues by geographic region were as follows:

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, 2010 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, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on January
31, 2011.
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. Generally, such features
have been considered to be incidental to the Companys overall product offerings and an
inconsequential deliverable. Accordingly, the
6
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.
The Company generally sells its products on a no-return basis, although in certain instances,
the Company provides price protection or other allowances on certain unsold products. Price
protection, when granted and applicable, allows customers a partial credit against amounts they owe
the Company with respect to merchandise unsold by them. Revenue is recognized, and accounts
receivable is presented, net of estimates of these allowances.
The Company estimates potential future product price protection and other allowances related
to current period product revenue. The Company analyzes historical experience, current sell through
of retailer inventory of the Companys products, current trends in the video game market, the
overall economy, changes in customer demand and acceptance of the Companys products and other
related factors when evaluating the adequacy of price protection and other allowances.
Sales incentives or other consideration given by the Company to customers that are considered
adjustments of the selling price of its products, such as rebates and product placement fees, are
reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs
incurred by the Company for benefits received, such as the appearance of the Companys products in
a customers national circular ad, are reflected as selling and marketing expenses, in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-50, Customer Payments and Incentives.
In addition, some of the Companys 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).
The Company records revenue for distribution agreements where it is acting as an agent as
defined by ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, Subtopic 45, Principal Agent Considerations, on a
net basis. When the Company enters into license or distribution agreements that provide for
multiple copies of games in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized in accordance
with the terms of the agreements, generally upon delivery of a master copy, assuming our
performance obligations are complete and all other recognition criteria are met, or as per-copy
royalties are earned on sales of games.
Inventory. Inventory, which consists primarily of finished goods, is stated at the lower of
cost as determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. As of April 30, 2011 and October
31, 2010, inventory included $2.0 and $1.7 million respectively of unpackaged games and game
accessories. The Company estimates the net realizable value of slow-moving inventory on a
title-by-title basis and charges the excess of cost over net realizable value to cost of sales. In
the six months ended April 30, 2011, such charges to cost of sales amounted to $848 based on
current estimates of net realizable value. Such estimates may change and additional charges may be
incurred until the related inventory items are sold.
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include
fees in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers and licensors.
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 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.
Prepaid license fees represent license fees to owners for the use of their intellectual
property rights in the development of the Companys 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 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 the Company estimates 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
7
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 sales-software development costs and license
fees future release, in the period such a determination is made. These expenses may be incurred
prior to a games release for games that have been developed. If a game is cancelled prior to
completion of development and never released to market, the amount is expensed to general and
administrative expenses. 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.
The Company has expensed as research and development all costs associated with the development
of social games for Facebook, including, in the six months ended April 30, 2011, $626 of costs of
third-party developers. The Company launched one Facebook game, in the six months ended April 30,
2011, which has not earned significant revenues to date, and is continuing to evaluate alternatives
for future development and monetization.
Prepaid license fees and milestone payments made to the Companys 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.
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 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 (Loss) Per Share. Basic income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing
net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding for the period. Basic income (loss) per share excludes the impact of
unvested shares of restricted stock issued as long term incentive awards to directors, officers and
employees. Diluted income per share reflects the potential impact of common stock options and
unvested shares of restricted stock and outstanding common stock purchase warrants that have a
dilutive effect.
The table below provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted average shares outstanding,
after applying the treasury stock method.

The Company issued 136,153 and 329,484 shares of restricted stock during the three and six
months ended April 30, 2011, respectively, and cancelled no shares in either period. The Company
issued 57,893 and 115,182 shares of restricted stock during the
three and six months ended April 30, 2010, respectively, and cancelled 0 and 21,984 shares
during the same respective periods. The Company values shares of restricted stock at fair value as
of the grant date.
8
The Company issued options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock during the three and six
months ended April 30, 2011, and cancelled no options in the periods. The options have an exercise
price of $1.64 per share, equal to the market value of a share of the Companys stock on the grant
date, and expire in 2018. The options have a total grant-date fair value of $95, based on the
Black-Scholes model and estimated share-price volatility of 75.2%, estimated life of 4.3 years and
a risk-free rate of 1.8%. The Company did not issue any options to purchase shares of common stock
during the three and six months ended April 30, 2010 and cancelled 18,623 options in such periods.
The Company values options at fair value as of the grant date.
Reclassifications. For comparability, certain 2010 amounts have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2011.
Commitments and Contingencies. The Company records a liability for commitments and
contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.
Concentrations. The Company develops and distributes video game software for proprietary
platforms under licenses from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, which must be periodically renewed. The
Companys agreements with these manufacturers also grant them certain control over the supply and
manufacturing of the Companys products. In addition, in the three and six months ended April 30,
2011, sales of the Companys Zumba Fitness game accounted for
approximately 75% and 67% of revenues,
respectively. We license the rights to publish these games from a third party and have rights to
publish other Zumba Fitness games. If the new versions are not successful, this may have a
significant impact on our revenues. In addition, if these arrangements are disrupted, the Companys
operations could be adversely affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Amendments to Variable Interest Entity Guidance In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASC Topic 860-10-65, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.
The standard removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity from ASC Topic 860,
Transfers and Servicing, and eliminates the exception for qualifying special purpose entities from
consolidation guidance. In addition, the standard establishes specific conditions for reporting a
transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. If a transfer does not meet established sale
conditions, the transferor and transferee must account for the transaction as a secured borrowing.
An enterprise that continues to transfer portions of a financial asset that do not meet the
established sale conditions would be eligible to record a sale only after it has transferred all of
its interest in that asset. The effective date is fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The adoption
did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
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 became
effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a
material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
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 became effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2010. The
adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.
Fair Value In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC 820-10, Measuring Liabilities
at Fair Values. 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 was adopted by the Company in 2010, except for
the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward, which was adopted by the Company in fiscal year
2011. The adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows.
In May 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC 820-10, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Values.
The update to ASC 820-10 clarifies the application of fair value standards in certain circumstances
and requires additional disclosures about fair value
9
measurements within Level 3, including
sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs. The update will become effective for the Company on
November 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on its
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The Company has outstanding warrants that may require settlement by transferring assets under
certain change of control circumstances. These warrants are classified as liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheet. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.04 per share and expire in
September 2012. The Company measures the fair value of the warrants at each balance sheet date,
using the Black-Scholes method, and a gain or loss is recorded in earnings each period as change in
fair value of warrants.
Assumptions used to determine the fair value of the warrants were:

Upon exercise of 537,734 of the warrants outstanding, the warrant liability associated with
those warrants, amounting to $937 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due from
factor, and advances from customers are reasonable estimates of the fair values because of their
short-term maturity.
4. INCOME TAXES
The only federal income tax provision recorded by the Company for the three and six months
ended April 30, 2011 was for alternative minimum taxes. No other provision for income taxes has
been recorded because the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) to offset
taxable income. NOL carryforwards available for income tax purposes at April 30, 2011 amount to
approximately $75.1 million for federal income taxes and approximately $28.6 million for state
income taxes. Due to the Companys history of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset NOLs 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.
10
For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Company recorded an income tax benefit related to
proceeds of $1,656 received in January 2010 from the sale of the rights to approximately $21,200 of
New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology Business Tax
Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

10. 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, then representing 17% of its workforce. The Company recorded
charges of approximately $403 in the six months ended April 30, 2010 in connection with the
terminations, which consisted primarily of severance and unused vacation payments. The expenses
were included in operating costs and expenses as shown in the table below:

reduction.
11. RELATED PARTIES
The Company currently has an agreement with Morris Sutton, the Companys former Chief
Executive Officer and father of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, 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 not paid until collection
of the related accounts receivable from customers. Therefore, some of these payments were made to
Mr. Sutton in 2010.

MSI Entertainment, a company controlled by Morris Sutton, acted as an agent for the Company in
sales to a distributor. The titles, for which the Company had no other planned distribution, were
paid for in advance by the distributor. In the six months ended April 30, 2011, the Company paid
MSI a fee of $78 in connection with the sales.
The Company also has an agreement with a member of its board of directors to provide specified
strategic consulting services, in addition to his services as a board member, on a month-to-month
basis at a monthly rate of $10. Under this arrangement, fees earned in the three and six months
ended April 30, 2011 totaled $30 and $60, respectively. Fees earned in the three and six months
ended April 30, 2010 totaled $13 and $13, respectively.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On June 3, 2011, the Company acquired selected assets and assumed certain liabilities,
consisting of accounts payable, of Quick Hit, Inc., a developer and operator of online games. The
assets purchased include substantially all of the assets of Quick Hit, excluding assets related to
its online interactive football game (the Game). The Company also entered into an exclusive
license agreement with a senior lender to Quick Hit for the source code to the Game, with an option
to purchase in the future. The aggregate purchase price paid was $837 in cash. There was no
relationship between the Company and Quick Hit prior to the execution of the agreements.
In connection with the transaction, the Company hired twelve employees of Quick Hit,
representing substantially all of its personnel. In addition, the Company issued 170,652 shares of
restricted common stock as part of the inducement and retention of employees. The shares of
restricted common stock have a transaction-date fair value of $524 and vest one-third every six
months over the 18 month period following June 3, 2011.
Certain detailed financial information for the acquisition and the assets acquired is not yet
available and the Companys accounting for the acquisition is not yet complete. Accordingly,
certain disclosures under ASC 805, Business Combinations, is currently impractical.

Overview
We are a provider of video game products primarily for the family-oriented, mass-market
consumer. We sell our products primarily to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video
game rental outlets and distributors. We publish video games for almost all major current
generation interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendos DS, DSi and Wii,
Sonys PlayStation 3, or PS3, and PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsofts Xbox 360 and the
personal computer, or PC. We also publish games for numerous digital platforms, including mobile
platforms such as iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, as well as online platforms such as Facebook.
Our video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points. Due to
the larger budget requirements for developing and marketing premium console titles for core gamers,
we focus on publishing more casual games targeting mass-market consumers. In some instances, our
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 our video games.
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. Product costs 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. In cases where we act as a distributor for other publishers products, cost of
sales may increase as we acquire products at a higher fixed wholesale price. While product
costs as a percentage of revenue are higher on these products, we do not incur upfront development
and licensing fees or resulting amortization of software development costs. 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.
14
Product Research and Development Expenses. Product research and development expenses relate
principally to costs of third-party video game developers and related supervision, testing new
products and conducting quality assurance evaluations during the
development cycle 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. These costs also include the cost to develop and maintain free to play online games
which are still considered to be in the planning stage, or for which costs cannot be reasonably
expected to be recovered through future revenues.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist of marketing and
promotion expenses, including television advertising, the cost of shipping products to customers
and related employee costs. Credits to retailers for trade advertising are a component of these
expenses.
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 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.
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. The Company recorded losses of $1.4 million and $0.2 million on
impairment for cancelled games in the six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
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, or 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, or GAAP.
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
15
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 when such policies affect our reported and expected
financial results.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue upon the shipment of our product when: (1) title and
the 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).
When we enter into license or distribution agreements that provide for multiple copies of
games in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the
agreements, generally upon delivery of a master copy, assuming our performance obligations are
complete and all other recognition criteria are met, or as per-copy royalties are earned on sales
of games.
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 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 benefits 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 provisions 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 six-month periods ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, we provided allowances for
future price protection and other allowances of $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The
fluctuations in the provisions reflect fluctuations in gross sales and 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 primarily 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.
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.
16
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 (capitalized 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 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 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 sales loss 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 for games that have been
developed. If a game is cancelled prior to completion of development 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 April 30, 2011, the net carrying value
of our licenses and software development costs was $5.6 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.
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.
We have expensed as research and development all costs associated with the development of
social games for Facebook. We have launched one Facebook game, in the six months ended April 30,
2011, which has not earned significant revenues to date, and are continuing to evaluate
alternatives for future development and monetization. In connection with its June 2011 acquisition
of assets, we have added the development team of Quick Hit, Inc., to enhance our abilities in the
development and operation of our social games.
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. Some of our inventory items are packaged with
accessories, such as belts for our Zumba games and dolls for our Babysitting Mama game. The
purchase of these accessories involves longer lead times and minimum purchase amounts, which
require us to maintain higher levels of inventory than for other games. Therefore, these items
have a higher risk of obsolescence, which we review periodically based on inventory and sales
levels. As of April 30, 2011, our net inventory balance includes an aggregate of approximately
$3.6 million of accessories and games bundled with accessories.
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 April 30, 2011 versus three months ended April 30, 2010
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2011 increased to $32.1
million from $10.9 million in the comparable quarter last year. The increase was due to sales of
Zumba Fitness released in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 on three platforms, the Nintendo Wii,
Kinect for the Xbox 360, and Sonys Move for the Playstation. In addition, we recognized royalty
revenue from sales of Zumba Fitness in Europe and sales of accessories to our distribution partner.
Sales of, Zumba Fitness accounted for approximately 75% of total revenue in the period. Sales of
our line of products based on Cooking Mama accounted for approximately 50% of our sales for the
three months ended April 30, 2010.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2011 was $13.7 million
compared to a gross profit of $3.1 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in gross
profit was primarily attributable to increased net revenues for the three months ended April 30,
2011, as discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 42% for the three months
ended April 30, 2011, compared to 29% for the three months ended April 30, 2010. The increase in
gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher pricing on Zumba Fitness and the
effects of royalty revenues recognized from sales of Zumba Fitness in Europe. We license the
rights to publish Zumba Fitness in Europe to another video game publisher and receive a royalty
based on net revenues of the product. We record these revenues net in accordance with ASC 605-45,
Revenue Recognition Principal Agent Considerations.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development costs increased $1.3
million to $2.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2011, from $0.7 million for the
comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to costs related to our online games
business, increased production headcount, and charges incurred for development of console game
prototypes prior to reaching technological feasibility. We contract with third parties to develop
and operate our social games. We expense these amounts as incurred for these games as they are
still in the planning stage and future revenues cannot be reliably predicted. During 2011, we
opened a second production facility in San Francisco and increased the number of producers we have
managing game development due to an increase in the number and quality of games we are developing.
In connection with its June 2011 acquisition of assets, we have added the development team of Quick
Hit, Inc., to enhance our abilities in the development and operation of our social games.
Accordingly, periodic research and development expenses are expected to increase.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $2.6
million for the three months ended April 30, 2011, compared to $1.5 million for the three months
ended April 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased media advertising and other
marketing costs associated with Zumba Fitness as well as increased sales commissions and
warehousing and freight costs associated with higher sales activities.
General and Administrative Expenses. For the three-month period ended April 30, 2011, general
and administrative expenses were approximately $2.3 million in each of the 2011 and 2010 periods as
increases in employee and consultant compensation were largely offset by decreases in other
expenses.
Loss on Impairment of Software Development Costs and License Fees Cancelled Games. For the
three-month period ended April 30, 2011, loss on impairment of software development costs and
license fees cancelled games, amounted to $1.3 million compared to $0.2 million in the
prior-year period, reflecting a greater number of projects cancelled. Our games in development are
subject to periodic reviews to assess game design and changing market conditions. When we do not
expect the projected future net cash flows generated from sales to be sufficient to cover the
remaining incremental cash obligation to complete a game, we cancel the game, and
18
record a charge to operating expenses for the carrying amount of the game. During the three months
ended April 30, 2011, we cancelled several games in development for the Sony Move platform,
resulting in a charge of $0.6 million, and cancelled several other game projects resulting in
charges totaling $0.7 million.
Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended April 30, 2011 was approximately
$5.3 million, compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the comparable period in 2010. As discussed
above, increased revenues and gross profits during the three months ended April 30, 2011 more than
offset increased operating expenses and losses on impaired games during the period.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. We have outstanding warrants that contain a
provision that may require settlement by transferring assets and are, therefore, recorded at fair
value as liabilities. We recorded a loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended April 30,
2011, which reflected an increase in the fair value of the warrants primarily based upon the
increased market price of a share of our common stock during the period, compared to a modest gain
for the three months ended April 30, 2010. In the three months ended April 30, 2011, 537,734 of
the 1,697,735 previously-outstanding warrants subject to remeasurement were exercised. The
warrants expire in September 2012.
Income Taxes. In the three months ended April 30, 2011, our income tax expense represented our
current alternative minimum tax provision. In the three months ended April 30, 2010, the recorded
income tax benefit represented the reversal, based on losses in the period, of alternative minimum
taxes provided in the three months ended January 31, 2010.
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended April 30, 2011 was $2.1 million compared to
$1.6 million loss for the three months ended April 30, 2010. As discussed above, increased revenues
and gross profits more than offset increased operating expenses, impairments and the change in the
fair value of our warrant liability.
Six months ended April 30, 2011 versus six months ended April 30, 2010
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2011 increased to $80.6 million
from $40.1 million in the comparable period last year. Fluctuations in sales for the first six
months of the year reflect the performance of new releases in the holiday selling season. During
the six months ended April 30, 2011, we released Babysitting Mama for the Nintendo Wii and Zumba
Fitness on three platforms, the Nintendo Wii, Kinect for the Xbox 360, and Sonys Move for the
Playstation3. The strong performance of the Zumba titles in the first two quarters of the fiscal
year was primarily responsible for the increased revenues over the
prior-year period. Sales of Zumba Fitness
accounted for approximately 67% of total revenue in the period. Sales from our series of products
based on Cooking Mama accounted for approximately 50% of revenue in the six months ended April 30,
2010.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended April 30, 2011 was $33.3 million compared
to a gross profit of $11.8 million in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit was
primarily attributable to increased net revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2011, as
discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 41% for the six months ended April
30, 2011, compared to 29% for the six months ended April 30, 2010. The increase in gross profit as
a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher pricing on some of our products when compared to
the same period in the prior year, particularly Zumba Fitness. In addition, the six months ended
April 30, 2010 were affected by higher sales allowances as a percentage of revenues and by $1.0
million of losses on impairment of software development costs and license fees.
Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development costs increased $1.6
million to $3.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2011, from $1.6 million for the
comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to costs related to our online games
business, increased production headcount, and charges incurred for development of console game
prototypes prior to reaching technological feasibility. We contract with third parties to develop
and operate our social games. We expensed these amounts as incurred for these games as they are
still in the planning stage and future revenues cannot be reliably predicted. During 2011 we opened
a second production facility in San Francisco and increased the number of producers we have
managing game development due to an increase in the number and quality of games we are developing.
In addition, increased production staff and the recognition of increased profit-based compensation
to existing personnel was partially offset by the effects of $0.1 million severance charges
recorded in the prior year.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $9.6
million for the six months ended April 30, 2011, compared to $4.6 million for the three months
ended April 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased media advertising and other
marketing costs associated with the launch of Zumba Fitness and Babysitting Mama, including several
television and internet advertising campaigns. Variable costs including commissions, warehousing
and freight also increased due to higher volume and, were partially offset by lower costs incurred
in Europe following our shift from a publishing and distribution model to a licensing approach,
including the effects of severance charges recorded in the prior year.
19
General and Administrative Expenses. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, general
and administrative expenses were $5.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million from $4.4 million in the
comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in
profit-based bonus compensation recognized in the current period.
Loss on Impairment of Software Development Costs and License Fees Cancelled Games. For the
six-month period ended April 30, 2011, loss on impairment of software development costs and license
fees cancelled games, amounted to $1.4 million compared to $0.2 million in the prior-year
period, reflecting a greater number of projects cancelled. Our games in development are subject to
periodic reviews to assess game design and changing market conditions. When we do not expect the
projected future net cash flows generated from sales to be sufficient to cover the remaining
incremental cash obligation to complete a game, we cancel the game, and record a charge to
operating expenses for the carrying amount of the game. During the six months ended April 30, 2011
we cancelled several games in development for the Sony Move platform, resulting in a charge of $0.6
million, and several other game projects resulting in charges totaling $0.7 million.
Operating Income. Operating income for the six months ended April 30, 2011 was approximately
$13.4 million, an increase of $12.5 million from $0.9 million in the comparable period in 2010. As
discussed above, increased revenues and gross profits during the six months ended April 30, 2011
more than offset increased sales, marketing and other operating expenses and impairments during the
period.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. We have outstanding warrants that contain a
provision that may require settlement by transferring assets and are, therefore, recorded at fair
value as liabilities. We recorded a loss of $3.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2011,
which reflected an increase in the fair value of the warrants during the period primarily as a
result of the increased market price for a share of our common stock, compared to a gain of $0.2
million for the six months ended April 30, 2010, which reflected a decrease in the fair value of
warrants during the period.
Income Taxes. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, we received proceeds of approximately
$1.7 million from the sale of approximately $21.2 million of New Jersey state income tax net
operating loss carryforwards under the states Technology Business Tax Certificate Program and
recorded the proceeds as an income tax benefit in the period. In the six months ended April 30,
2011, our income tax expense represented our current alternative minimum tax provision. We did not
sell New Jersey loss carryforwards in the period. Any potential future sales of New Jersey loss
carryforwards that the Company may pursue will be subject to the provisions of the tax certificate
program, including an application and qualification process, and the availability of approved
funding.
Net Income. Net income for the six months ended April 30, 2011 was $8.8 million compared to
$2.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2010. As discussed above, increased revenues and
gross profits more than offset increased operating expenses, impairments and the change in the fair
market value of our warrant liability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our current plan is to fund our operations through product sales. However, our operating
results may vary significantly from period to period and we have previously incurred operating
losses. We may be required to modify our plan, or seek outside sources of financing, and/or equity
sales, 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 reductions in game development and other
expenditures. Additionally, we are dependent on our purchase order financing and account receivable
factoring agreement to finance our working capital needs, including the purchase of inventory. If
the current level of financing was reduced or we fail to meet our operational objectives, it could
create a material adverse change in the business.
As of April 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $18.5 million and funds
available to us under our factoring and purchase order financing agreements were $7.9 million and
$10.0 million, respectively. 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.
Factoring and Purchase Order Financing.
To satisfy our liquidity needs, we factor our receivables. 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 any time. We had outstanding advances
against accounts receivable of approximately $4.1 million under our factoring agreement at April
30, 2011. We also utilize financing to provide
20
funding for the manufacture of our products. Under an agreement with a finance company, we
have up to $10.0 million of availability for letters of credit and purchase order financing. In
connection with these arrangements, the finance company and the factor have a security interest in
substantially all of our assets.
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 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 of our
inventory balance. 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 April 30, 2011, 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. 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 any current 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 April 30, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $18.5 million as of April 30, 2011 compared to $8.0 million at
October 31, 2010. Working capital as of April 30, 2011 was $25.7 million compared to $11.6 million
at October 31, 2010.
Operating Cash Flows. Our principal operating source of cash is sales of our interactive
entertainment products. Our principal operating uses of cash were 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 April 30, 2011, we generated approximately $14.7 million in cash
flow from operating activities, compared to $4.6 million in the same period last year. The increase
in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increased operating income in the
period, which increased $12.5 million from $0.9 million in the six months ended April 30, 2010 to
$13.4 million in the six months ended April 30, 2011. Operating income excludes the non-cash
effects of the change in our warrant liability and interest and financing costs.
21
Investing Cash Flows. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended April 30,
2011 and 2010 were primarily related to purchases of computer equipment.
Subsequent to April 30, 2011, we used $0.8 million of cash for the acquisition of assets of
Quick Hit, Inc.
Financing Cash Flows. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended April 30,
2011 and 2010 primarily consisted of cash used to reduce outstanding borrowings under our purchase
order financing agreement for seasonal inventory purchases and increased $0.7 million in the period
due to a higher level of prior-year-end purchasing activity. In addition, in the six months ended
April 30, 2011, we received $1.7 million of proceeds from the exercise of outstanding units and
warrants.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. 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.
22
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors
A description of the risks associated with our business, financial condition, and results of

ended October 31, 2010. 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.
