NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2013

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Broadcast International, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) contain the adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, with the cash flows for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 2 - Reclassifications

Certain 2012 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2013 presentations.

Note 3 – Weighted Average Shares

The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, plus the dilutive common stock equivalents that would rise from the exercise of stock options, warrants and restricted stock units outstanding during the year, using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year.

As we experienced net losses during the three month periods ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, no common stock equivalents have been included in the diluted earnings per common share calculations as the effect of such common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Options and warrants to purchase 43,711,269 and 38,273,682, shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $4.00 and $0.35 to $11.50 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, restricted stock units of 3,368,247 and 2,550,000 were outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Furthermore, the Company had convertible debt that was convertible into 17,900,000 and 4,000,000 shares of common stock at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively that was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect was anti-dilutive.

Note 4 – Stock-based Compensation

In accordance with ASC Topic 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the awards, and recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award for awards expected to vest.

Stock Incentive Plans

Under the Broadcast International, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), the board of directors may issue incentive stock options to employees and directors and non-qualified stock options to consultants of the company.  Options generally may not be exercised until twelve months after the date granted and expire ten years after being granted. Options granted vest in accordance with the vesting schedule determined by the board of directors, usually ratably over a three-year vesting schedule upon the anniversary date of the grant.  Should an employee terminate before the vesting period is completed, the unvested portion of each grant is forfeited. We have used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of our stock-based awards, which requires various judgmental assumptions including estimated stock price volatility, forfeiture rates, and expected life.  Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.  The number of unissued stock options authorized under the 2004 Plan at March 31, 2013 was 3,981,278.
 
 
6

 

The Broadcast International, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) has become our primary plan for providing stock-based incentive compensation to our eligible employees and non-employee directors and consultants of the company. The provisions of the 2008 Plan are similar to the 2004 Plan except that the 2008 Plan allows for the grant of share equivalents such as restricted stock awards, stock bonus awards, performance shares and restricted stock units in addition to non-qualified and incentive stock options. We continue to maintain and grant awards under our 2004 Plan which will remain in effect until it expires by its terms. The number of unissued shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan was 88,200 at March 31, 2013.

Stock Options

We estimate the fair value of stock option awards granted beginning January 1, 2006 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We then amortize the fair value of awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires various judgmental assumptions including the estimated volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option term.  Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.  The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award was granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. The expected option term is derived from an analysis of historical experience of similar awards combined with expected future exercise patterns based on several factors including the strike price in relation to the current and expected stock price, the minimum vest period and the remaining contractual period.

The fair values for the options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
   
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2012
 
Risk free interest rate
  1.82%  
Expected life (in years)
  10.0  
Expected volatility
  77.78%  
Expected dividend yield
  0.00%  

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.37. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Warrants

We estimate the fair value of issued warrants on the date of issuance as determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model. We amortize the fair value of issued warrants using a vesting schedule based on the terms and conditions of each associated underlying contract, as earned. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires various judgmental assumptions including the estimated volatility, risk-free interest rate and warrant expected exercise term.  Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.  The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the warrant was issued with a maturity equal to the expected term of the warrant.

The fair values for the warrants issued for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 estimated at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
   
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2013
   
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2012
 
Risk free interest rate
  0.65%     1.32%  
Expected life (in years)
  4.42     5.99  
Expected volatility
  90.68%     82.67%  
Expected dividend yield
  0.00%     0.00%  

 
The weighted average fair value of warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.05 and $0.27, respectively.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 includes $2,824 and $96,165, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Restricted stock units and options issued to directors vest immediately. All other restricted stock units, options and warrants are subject to applicable vesting schedules. Expense is recognized proportionally as each award or grant vests.

The $2,824 non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was from the vesting of unexpired options and warrants issued prior to January 1, 2013.

Included in the $96,165 non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are $683 for 30,000 options granted to 2 employees and $95,482 resulting from the vesting of unexpired options and warrants issued prior to January 1, 2012.

The impact on our results of operations for recording stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all cash on hand and in banks, and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had bank balances of $357,921 and $38,847, respectively, in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition we have restricted cash of $425,100, which represents a deposit to the Utah District Court, which is held pending the outcome of our litigation with our equipment lessor.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Current financial market conditions have had the effect of restricting liquidity of cash management investments and have increased the risk of even the most liquid investments and the viability of some financial institutions.  We do not believe, however, that these conditions will materially affect our business or our ability to meet our obligations or pursue our business plans.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when collected.

Included in our $417,995 and $821,608 net accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, were (i) $505,918 and $856,462 for billed trade receivables, respectively; (ii) $14,818 and $44,478 of unbilled trade receivables (iii) $1,479 and $1,808 for employee travel advances and other receivables, respectively; less (iv) ($104,220) and ($81,140) for allowance for uncollectible accounts, respectively.

Our largest customer initially signed a three-year agreement which has now expired, although we did receive a contract extension through May 31, 2013 to continue to provide services. Unless we can replace that customer with another similarly large customer or customers, revenues will decline substantially, which will harm our business.

Inventories

Inventories consisting of electrical and computer parts are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property, generally from three to five years.  Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred except when such repairs significantly add to the useful life or productive capacity of the asset, in which case the repairs are capitalized.

Patents and Intangibles

Patents represent initial legal costs incurred to apply for United States and international patents on the CodecSys technology, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life of approximately 20 years.  We have filed several patents in the United States and foreign countries. As of March 31, 2013, the United States Patent and Trademark Office had approved four patents.  Additionally, eleven foreign countries had approved patent rights.  While we are unsure whether we can develop the technology in order to obtain the full benefits, the patents themselves hold value and could be sold to companies with more resources to complete the development. On-going legal expenses incurred for patent follow-up have been expensed from July 2005 forward.

Amortization expense recognized on all patents totaled $2,538 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Estimated amortization expense, if all patents were issued at the beginning of 2012, for each of the next five years is as follows:

Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, including patents, annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, then the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.  Fair value is determined by using cash flow analyses and other market valuations. After our review at March 31, 2013 it was determined that no adjustment was required.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes prescribed by ASC Topic 740.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when evidence exists that there is an arrangement between us and our customers, delivery of equipment sold or service has occurred, the selling price to our customers is fixed and determinable with required documentation, and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize as deferred revenue, payments made in advance by customers for services not yet provided.

When we enter into a multi-year contract with a customer to provide installation, network management, satellite transponder and help desk, or combination of these services, we recognize this revenue as services are performed and as equipment is sold. These agreements typically provide for additional fees, as needed, to be charged if on-site visits are required by the customer in order to ensure that each customer location is able to receive network communication. As these on-site visits are performed the associated revenue and cost are recognized in the period the work is completed. If we install, for an additional fee, new or replacement equipment to an immaterial number of new customer locations, and the equipment immediately becomes the property of the customer, the associated revenue and cost are recorded in the period in which the work is completed.

In instances where we have entered into license agreements with a third parties to use our technology within their product offering, we recognize any base or prepaid revenues over the term of the agreement and any per occurrence or periodic usage revenues in the period they are earned.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred.  We expensed $225,374 and $556,567 of research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. In the normal course of business, we provide credit terms to our customers. Accordingly, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had the same customer that individually constituted 91% and 87%, respectively of our total revenues.

Our largest customer initially signed a three-year agreement which has now expired, although we did receive a contract extension through May 31, 2013 to continue to provide services. Unless we can replace that customer with another similarly large customer or customers, revenues will decline substantially, which will harm our business.

2012 Secured Convertible Notes
 
We engaged Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation to raise funds through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.  We anticipated issuing promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (“2012 Convertible Debt Offering”). As of March 31, 2013 we have issued notes having an aggregate principal value of $3,475,000 as explained below.  The notes are due and payable on or before July 13, 2013.  The notes bear interest at 12% per annum and may convertible to common stock at a $.25 per share conversion price.  We also granted holders of the notes warrants with a five year life to acquire up to 200,000 shares of our common stock for each $100,000 of principal amount of the convertible notes.  The notes are secured by all of our assets with the exception of the equipment and receivables secured by the equipment lessor for equipment used in providing services for our largest customer’s digital signage network.
 
In July 2012, we entered into a note and warrant purchase and security agreement with individual investors and broke escrow on the initial funding under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering, the principal amount of which was $1,900,000, which included the conversion of $900,000 of previously issued short term debt (See Bridge Loan described above) to the 2012 convertible Debt Offering, which extinguished the Bridge Loan.  Of the $1,000,000 non-converted principal amount, we realized $923,175 of cash in the initial closing and issued warrants to acquire 3,800,000 shares of our common stock.  We paid $76,825 in investment banking fees and costs of the offering.

In August 2012, we continued sales of convertible debt under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering by issuing short term debt with a principal amount of $900,000, issued warrants to acquire 1,800,000 shares of our common stock, from which we realized cash of $851,624 after payment of investment banking fees of $48,376.

In December 2012, we continued sales of convertible debt under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering by issuing short term debt with a principal amount of $250,000, issued warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of our common stock to one member of our Board of Directors.

In January 2013, we continued sales of convertible debt under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering by issuing short term debt with a principal amount of $425,000, issued warrants to acquire 850,000 shares of our common stock to; (i) one member of our Board of Directors, (ii) three individuals and (iii) two companies.
 
The notes and warrants mentioned above were issued with price protection provisions and were accounted for as derivative liabilities and valued on the dates issued using a Black-Scholes pricing model.
 
We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $179,300 as of March 31, 2013, related to the conversion feature of the note. A derivative valuation loss of $104,800 was recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability since December 31, 2012.  The aggregate derivative liability of $179,300 was calculated as follows using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.07%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 0.30; (iii) expected volatility of 175.61%, (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10.
 
We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $345,800 as of March 31, 2013, related to the warrant reset provision. A derivative valuation loss of $162,800 was recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability since December 31, 2012.  The aggregate derivative liability of $345,800 was calculated as follows using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.67%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 4.30; (iii) expected volatility of 91.86%, (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10.

The principal value of the secured convertible notes is being accreted over the term of the obligation, for which $308,968 was included in interest expense for each the three months March 31, 2013.  The notes bear a 12% annual interest rate for which $98,861 was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Unsecured Convertible Note

On September 29, 2006, we entered into a letter of understanding with Triage Capital Management, or Triage, dated September 25, 2006.  The letter of understanding provided that Triage loan $1,000,000 to us in exchange for us entering into, on or prior to October 30, 2006, a convertible note securities agreement.  It was intended that the funding provided by Triage be replaced by a convertible note and accompanying warrants, as described below.  Effective November 2, 2006, we entered into securities purchase agreement, a 5% convertible note, a registration rights agreement, and four classes of warrants to purchase our common stock, all of which were with an individual note holder, the controlling owner of Triage, who caused our agreement with Triage to be assigned to him, which satisfied our agreement with Triage.

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, (i) we sold to the convertible note holder a three-year convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us on September 29, 2006; (ii) the convertible note bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or shares of our common stock; (iii) the convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution price protection provisions ; and (iv) we issued to the convertible note holder four classes of warrants (A Warrants, B Warrants, C Warrants and D Warrants), which give the convertible note holder the right to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock as described below.  The A and B Warrants originally expired one year after the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register the subsequent sale of shares received from exercise of the A and B Warrants. The C Warrants and D Warrants originally expired eighteen months and twenty four months, respectively, after the effective date of a registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act.  The A Warrants grant the convertible note holder the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, the B Warrants grant the convertible note holder the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, the C Warrants grant the convertible note holder the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share, and the D Warrants grant the convertible note holder the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the convertible note holder exercised 454,000 A Warrants. We entered into an exchange agreement dated October 31, 2007 in which the convertible note holder received 650,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for cancellation of the C and the D Warrants.  The expiration date of the A Warrants and the B Warrants was extended from January 11, 2008 to December 3, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the convertible note holder exercised 64,400 A Warrants. On December 3, 2008, the remaining 231,600 A Warrants and 750,000 B Warrants were unexercised and expired.

On December 23, 2009 we entered into an amendment with the holder of our unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1.0 million which (i) extended the note maturity date to December 22, 2010 and (ii) increased the annual rate of interest from 5% to 8% commencing October 16, 2009. All other terms and conditions of the note remain unchanged.

On December 24, 2010 we closed on a Debt Restructuring as mentioned above, In connection with that Debt Restructuring the Company amended the note with the holder of a $1.0 million unsecured convertible note, pursuant to which the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2013.  We issued 150,000 shares to the holder of this note as consideration to extend the term of the note.
 
During March 2011, we issued 135,369 shares of common stock to the holder of our unsecured convertible note in satisfaction of $81,221 of accrued interest on the unsecured convertible note.  Also in connection with the satisfaction of the accrued interest we granted to the holder a warrant to acquire up to 221,758 additional shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.96 per share.  The warrant is exercisable at any time for a five-year period.

We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $99,800 and $655,000 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the conversion feature of the note. A derivative valuation loss of $53,400 and $355,000, respectively, was recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability since December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The aggregate derivative liability of $99,800 for the conversion feature of the note was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.14%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 0.8; (iii) expected volatility of 142.68%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10.

In connection with the amendment mentioned above, the principal value of the note is being accreted due to the difference in the value of the conversion feature before and after the amendment. The principal value of $1,000,000 of the unsecured convertible note was accreted over the amended term of the obligation, for which $83,334 was included in interest expense for each the three months March 31, 2013 and 2012. The note bears an 8% annual interest rate payable semi-annually, and for each the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, $20,000, was included in interest expense.

Senior Unsecured 6.25% Convertible Note

On December 24, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement in which we raised $15,000,000 (less $937,000 of prepaid interest).  We used the proceeds from this financing to support our CodecSys commercialization and development and for general working capital purposes.  Pursuant to the financing, we issued a senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (which principal amount has been increased as discussed below).The senior secured convertible note was originally due December 21, 2010, but was amended, restated and extended to December 21, 2013 and was subsequently retired as discussed below.

On March 26, 2012, we closed on an equity financing (the “2012 Equity Financing”), as well as a restructuring of our outstanding senior convertible indebtedness (the “2012 Debt Restructuring”), resulting in complete satisfaction of our senior indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Note.

A portion of the net proceeds from the 2012 Equity Financing was used to close on the 2012 Debt Restructuring. The Company paid $2,750,000 and issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $760,000 in satisfaction of the Amended and Restated Note and remaining interest value of $680,816. In consideration of negotiating the 2012 Debt Restructuring and amending our agreement with our placement agent, we paid $275,041 and issued 586,164 shares of our common stock valued at $222,742 to our placement agent, and recognized a $2,173,033 gain on extinguishment of debt as a result of this retirement.

With the retirement of the Amended and Restated Note we recorded no aggregate derivative liability at March 31, 2012, however at the date of retirement we recorded a derivative valuation gain of $203,700, related to the conversion feature of the Amended and Restated Note to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative from December 31, 2011 to the date of retirement. The derivative value of $81,500 at the date of retirement was recorded as additional paid in capital.
 
Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreements

During the year ended December 31, 2010 we entered into two Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreements with one individual for an aggregate amount of $775,000. During the year ended December 31, 2011 we remitted $100,000 of the principal balance and converted the remaining $675,000 of principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest into 1,307,153 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 653,576 shares of our common stock. The warrants contain anti-dilution price protection provisions in the event the Company issues stock or convertible debt with a purchase price or conversion price less than $1.00 per share.  The current exercise price has been reset to $0.725 per share due to subsequent financings.

We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $13,400 and $92,500 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the warrant reset provision.  A derivative valuation loss of $7,500 and a derivative valuation gain of $63,800, respectively, were recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability since December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The aggregate derivative liability of $13,400 was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.36%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 3.0; (iii) expected volatility of 95.93%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10.

2011 Bridge Loan

On December 28, 2011 we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase and Security Agreement with seven individuals for an aggregate of $1,300,000 (“Bridge Loan”) to be used as working capital. The note bears an annual interest rate of 18%, payable monthly in cash.  Additionally, we granted to the holders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a five year term to purchase an aggregate of 357,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.65.  The note was due on February 28, 2012, but the term was subsequently extended to the earlier of the date nine months from the original maturity date or the date we closed on an additional sale of our securities that resulted in gross proceeds to us of $12 million.  In consideration of the extension of the maturity date of the Bridge Loan, we granted the holders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a six year term to purchase 247,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. This note is collateralized by a security interest in all of our accounts receivable
 
In connection with the Bridge Loan, we paid an $84,500 placement fee and issued warrants to purchase 65,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share and subsequently reset to $0.53, to our investment banker for services in completing the above transaction and paid a $3,000 escrow fee to the Escrow Agent in exchange for holding the funds prior to their disbursement to us.
 
On March 26, 2012, we closed on the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the associated securities purchase agreement, two of the above described bridge lenders converted the principal balance of their portion of the bridge loan in the amount of $400,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing, reducing the outstanding principal balance to $900,000. The warrants issued had a total value of $222,426 which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $222,426. The aggregate derivative liability and valuation gain or loss for the warrants issued for the converted portion of the principal balance are included in the aggregate of 2012 Equity Financing information.
All warrants mentioned above were issued with price protection provisions and were accounted for as derivative liabilities and valued using a Black Scholes pricing model.
 
On July 13, 2012 the $900,000 principal balance was retired and was included as part of the 2012 Convertible Note (as described below) and recorded a (i) $93,661 loss on extinguishment of debt related to the remaining un-accreted portion of the note and (ii) $53,160 expense related to unrecognized offering costs, at the time of retirement.
 
We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $13,000 and $80,300 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the reset provision for the original and placement warrants issued.  A derivative valuation loss of $5,600 and a derivative valuation gain of $63,400, respectively, were recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability since December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The aggregate derivative liability of $13,000 for the reset provision of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.57%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 3.7; (iii) expected volatility of 91.23%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10.
 
We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $10,800 and $54,500 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the reset provision for the warrants issued for an extension of the maturity date.  A derivative valuation loss of $3,600 and a derivative valuation gain of $42,025, respectively, were recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability since December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The aggregate derivative liability of $10,800 for the reset provision of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.54%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 3.7; (iii) expected volatility of 91.23%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10.
 
The principal value of the note was being accreted over the amended term of the obligation, for which $47,120 was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The note bore an 18% annual interest rate and for the three months ended March 31, 2012, $54,741 was included in interest expense.

Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement

In October 2011, we entered into an Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement with a Utah corporation whereby we use the funds advanced to purchase certain electronic receiving and digital signage equipment along with installation costs.  A 3% fee is due each month the amount remains outstanding.  At December 31, 2011 we had an outstanding amount owed of $700,000 plus accrued unpaid interest.
 
On March 26, 2012, we closed on the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the associated securities purchase agreement the above described lender converted the principal balance of its portion of the loan in the amount of $500,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing, the remaining $200,000 principal balance plus $105,000 of interest due was paid in cash. The warrants issued had a total value of $278,032 which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $278,032. The aggregate derivative liability and valuation gain or loss for the warrants issued for the converted portion of the principal balance are included in the aggregate of 2012 Equity Financing information.
 
The 3% fee mention above was recorded as interest expense for which $63,000 was included for the three months ended March 31 2012.
 
Note 7 – Equity Financing and the Debt Restructuring
 
2012 Equity Financing and the Debt Restructuring
 
On March 26, 2012, we closed on an equity financing (the “2012 Equity Financing”) as well as a restructuring of our outstanding senior convertible indebtedness (the “2012 Debt Restructuring”) resulting in complete satisfaction of our senior indebtedness.

We entered into an Engagement Agreement, dated October 28, 2011, with MDB Capital Group, LLC (“MDB”), pursuant to which MDB agreed to act as the exclusive agent of the Company on a “best efforts” basis with respect to the sale of up to a maximum gross consideration of $6,000,000, subsequently verbally increased to $10,000,000, of the Company’s securities, subject to a minimum gross consideration of $3,000,000.  The Company agreed to pay to MDB a commission of 10% of the gross offering proceeds received by the Company, to grant to MDB warrants to acquire up to 10% of the shares of our common stock and warrants issued in the financing, and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of MDB related to the offering.

Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated March 23, 2012 with select institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of 27,800,000 units of our securities.  The SPA included a purchase price of $0.25 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and two forms of Warrant: (1) The “A” Warrant grants the investors the right to purchase an additional share of common stock for each two shares of common stock purchased, for a term of six years and at an exercise price of $0.35 per share; and (2) The “B” Warrant will not be exercisable unless and until the occurrence of a future issuance of stock at less than $0.25 per share, but, in the event of such issuance, grants the investors the right to acquire additional shares at a price of $0.05 to reduce the impact of the dilution caused by such issuance, but in no event shall the number of shares to be issued under the B Warrant cause us to exceed the number of authorized shares of common stock. The shares in excess of our authorized shares that would have been issuable under the B Warrant shall be “net settled” by payment of cash in an amount equal to the number of shares in excess of the authorized common shares multiplied by the closing price of our common stock as of the trading day immediately prior to the applicable date of the exercise of such B Warrant.  A majority of the holders of the B Warrants agreed in December 2012 to amend the terms of the B Warrant to reduce the amount of subsequent financing required to extinguish the B Warrants with the result that the B Warrants may now be extinguished through notice to the Warrant Holders.

Net proceeds from the 2012 Equity Financing, after deducting the commissions and the estimated legal, printing and other costs and expenses related to the financing, were approximately $6.1 million.  Coincident to the closing of the 2012 Equity Financing, we also closed on the 2012 Debt Restructuring.  In connection therewith, the Company paid $2,750,000 to Castlerigg Master Investment Ltd. (“Castlerigg”), and issued to Castlerigg 2,000,000 shares of common stock in full and complete satisfaction of the senior convertible note and all accrued interest. In consideration of negotiating the 2012 Debt Restructuring, we issued to one of our placement agents 586,164 shares of our common stock and paid them $275,041.

In December 2011, we entered into a loan with 7 accredited individuals and entities under the terms of which we borrowed $1,300,000 to be used as working capital (“Bridge Loan”).  The Bridge Loan bears an interest rate of 18% per annum and had a maturity date of February 28, 2012, which was subsequently extended to the earlier of the date nine months from the original maturity date or the date we close on an additional sale of our securities that results in gross proceeds to us of $12 million.  In consideration of the Bridge Loan we granted to the holders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a five year term to purchase 357,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.  In consideration of the extension of the maturity date of the Bridge Loan, we granted the holders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a six year term to purchase 247,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.
 
In connection with the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the SPA, two of the above described bridge lenders converted the principal balance of their portion of the bridge loan in the amount of $400,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing.  In addition, one other entity converted the amount owed by us for equipment purchases in the amount of $500,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing. The proceeds from these conversions were treated as funds raised with respect to the financing.
 
In connection with the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the SPA, the Company agreed to prepare and file, within 60 days following the issuance of the securities, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the financing and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants.  The Company filed the registration statement on April 9, 2012 and it was declared effective on August 1, 2012.

On April 5, 2012 we secured an additional $154,000 from 1 company and 4 individuals (three of which are members of our Board of Directors) on the same terms and conditions as the investors of the 2012 Equity Financing. As a result of this funding we issued 616,000 shares of our common stock and A warrants totaling 400,400 of which 308,000 were issued to investors and 92,400 were issued to our investment banker.

All warrants listed below were issued with price protection provisions and were accounted for as derivative liabilities. The A Warrants were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model and the B Warrants were valued using the Geometric Brownian Motion methodology with a risk neutral Monte Carlo approach.

We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $1,090,884 and $4,662,644 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the reset feature of the A warrants and the B warrants mentioned above. A derivative valuation loss of $333,415 and a derivative valuation gain of $361,400 were recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability from December 31, 2012 and the time the warrants were first issued, respectively.  The aggregate derivative liability of $1,090,884 was calculated as follows: (1) $1,032,253 for the reset feature of the A warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.77%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 5.0; (iii) expected volatility of 93.03%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10 and (2) $58,631 for the B warrants using the Geometric Brownian Motion methodology with a risk neutral Monte Carlo approach.
 
2010 Equity Financing and the Debt Restructuring
 
On December 24, 2010, we closed on an equity financing (the “Equity Financing”) as well as a restructuring of our then outstanding convertible indebtedness (the “Debt Restructuring”).  The Equity Financing and the Debt Restructuring are described as follows.
 
 
17

 

We entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated December 17, 2010, with Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation (“PBC”), pursuant to which PBC agreed to act as the exclusive agent of the Company on a “best efforts” basis with respect to the sale of up to a maximum gross consideration of $15,000,000 of units of the Company’s securities, subject to a minimum gross consideration of $10,000,000.  The units consisted of two shares of our common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of our common stock.  The Company agreed to pay PBC a commission of 8% of the gross offering proceeds received by the Company, to issue PBC 40,000 shares of its common stock for each $1,000,000 raised, and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of PBC related to the offering.  The Company also agreed to pay PBC a restructuring fee in the amount of approximately $180,000 upon the closing of the Equity Financing and the simultaneous Debt Restructuring.

Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, we entered into Subscription Agreements dated December 23, 2010 with select institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of 12,500,000 units of our securities.  The Subscription Agreements included a purchase price of $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock.  The warrants have a term of five years and had an exercise price of $1.00 per share which was reset to $0.78 pursuant to the 2012 Equity Financing.

Net proceeds from the Equity Financing, after deducting the commissions and debt restructuring fees payable to PBC and the estimated legal, printing and other costs and expenses related to the financing, were approximately $13.5 million.  We used a portion of the net proceeds of the Equity Financing to pay down debt and the remainder was used for working capital.

On November 29, 2010, we entered into a bridge loan transaction with three accredited investors pursuant to which we issued unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million.  Upon the closing of the Equity Financing, the lenders converted the entire principal amount plus accrued interest into the same units offered in the Equity Financing and the proceeds from the bridge loan transaction were treated as funds raised with respect to the financing.

In connection with the Equity Financing and under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed to prepare and file, and did file, within 60 days following the issuance of the securities, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the financing and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.  The registration statement was declared effective June 16, 2011 satisfying the obligation contained in the Subscription Agreements.

On December 24, 2010, we also closed on the Debt Restructuring.  In connection therewith, we (i) issued an Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Note in the principal amount of $5.5 million (the “Amended and Restated Note”) to Castlerigg Master Investment Ltd. (“Castlerigg”), (ii) paid $2.5 million in cash to Castlerigg, (iii) cancelled warrants previously issued to Castlerigg that were exercisable for a total of 5,208,333 shares of common stock, (iv) issued 800,000 shares of common stock to Castlerigg in satisfaction of an obligation under a prior loan amendment, (v) entered into the Letter Agreement pursuant to which we paid Castlerigg an additional $2.75 million in cash in lieu of the issuance of $3.5 million in stock and warrants as provided in the loan restructuring agreement under which the Amended and Restated Note and other documents were issued (the “Loan Restructuring Agreement”), and (vi) entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Castlerigg dated December 23, 2010.  As a result of the foregoing, Castlerigg forgave approximately $7.2 million of principal and accrued but unpaid interest.

The Amended and Restated Note, dated December 23, 2010, was a senior, unsecured note that matured in three years from the closing and bore interest at an annual rate of 6.25%, payable semi-annually.  We paid the first year’s interest of $350,434 at the closing.  The Amended and Restated Note was convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.35 per share, subject to adjustment.  The Amended and Restated Note was convertible in whole or in part at any time upon notice by Castlerigg to us.  The Amended and Restated Note also contained various restrictions, acceleration provisions and other standard and customary terms and conditions.  Two of our consolidated subsidiaries guaranteed our obligations under the Amended and Restated Note.
 
The Investor Rights Agreement provides Castlerigg with certain registration rights with respect to the Company’s securities held by Castlerigg.  These registration rights include an obligation of the Company to issue additional warrants to Castlerigg if certain registration deadlines or conditions are not satisfied.  The agreement also contains full-ratchet anti-dilution price protection provisions in the event the Company issues stock or convertible debt with a purchase price or conversion price less than the conversion price described above.
 
 
18

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we issued Castlerigg 400,000 warrants pursuant to a waiver agreement dated March 10, 2011 allowing the issuance of shares and warrants for the conversion of the AR Note Payable without adjusting the conversion price of the Amended and Restated Senior 6.25% Convertible Note.  These warrants contain full-ratchet anti-dilution price protection provisions in the event the Company issues stock or convertible debt with a purchase price or conversion price less than the conversion price described above and were accounted for as embedded derivatives and valued on the transaction date using a Black Scholes pricing model. During the three and six months ended June 30 ,2011 the warrant holder exercised these warrants using a cashless provision resulting in the company issuing 372,272 shares of our common stock. A valuation gain of $144,000 was recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative from the time of issue to the date of conversion.  In connection with the Debt Restructuring, the Company amended the note with the holder of a $1.0 million unsecured convertible note, pursuant to which the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2013. We also issued 150,000 shares and 75,000 warrants to acquire our common stock at $.90 per share to the holder of this note as consideration to extend the term of the note.

On March 26, 2012, we closed on an equity financing (the “2012 Equity Financing”) as well as a restructuring of our outstanding senior convertible indebtedness (the “2012 Debt Restructuring”) resulting in complete satisfaction our senior indebtedness.

A portion of the net proceeds from the 2012 Equity Financing was used to close on the 2012 Debt Restructuring therewith. The Company paid $2,750,000 and issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $760,000 to Castlerigg in satisfaction of the $5,500,000 senior convertible note and $680,816 of accrued interest.

Investor warrants totaling 12,499,980 issued under the Subscription  Agreements contain price protection adjustments in the event we issue new common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than $1.00 per share and were accounted for as embedded derivatives and valued on the transaction date using a Black Scholes pricing model. The exercise price has been reset to $0.7312 per share due to subsequent financings.

We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $231,800 and $1,625,000 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the reset feature of the warrants issued under the Placement Agency Agreement. A derivative valuation loss of $122,400 and derivative valuation gain $1,250,000, respectively, were recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability since December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The aggregate derivative liability of $231,800 for the conversion feature of the note was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.36%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 2.7; (iii) expected volatility of 98.02%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.10.
 
    
Note 8 – Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of $656,918, total current assets of $1,866,663, total current liabilities of $9,079,259 and total stockholders' deficit of $6,435,100.  Included in current liabilities is $1,984,784 relating to the value of the embedded derivatives for our 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Note, our unsecured convertible note and warrants outstanding granted to investors in the 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Note issuances and the 2012 and 2010 Equity Financings.
 
We experienced positive cash flow from operations during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $121,976 compared to negative cash flow used in operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $1,179,957. We received proceeds from the issuance of our 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Note financing of $425,000 during the quarter that was used to pay ongoing expenses of operations and accounts payable.  We expect to experience negative operating cash flow at such time as the contract with our largest customer expires at the end of May, 2013 unless we increase our sales and/or licensing revenue.  During the quarter, we decreased our negative cash flow through a continued reduction in the number of employees, as well as additional expense reduction actions including reducing sales and general and administrative expenses.

We have initiated discussions with various of our accounts payable vendors to settle some of our accounts payable for less than face value in exchange for a payment in cash and/or issuance of common stock.  After the end of the quarter we were able to enter into agreements to discount our payables by approximately $800,000 through the payment of cash and issuance of stock.
 
 
19

 

In April 2013 we entered into an accounts receivable purchase agreement with one of our directors under the terms of which he agreed to purchase $750,000 of our accounts receivable generated over the next succeeding three months.  The $750,000 was discounted by $45,000 and we received net proceeds from the accounts receivable factoring of $705,000.
 
The current recession and market conditions have had substantial impacts on the global and national economies and financial markets.  These factors, together with soft credit markets, have slowed business growth and generally made potential funding sources more difficult to access.  We continue to be affected by prevailing economic and market conditions, which present considerable risks and challenges to it.

Because we have not been successful in deploying our CodecSys technology with customers sufficient to achieve a breakeven and are finding it difficult to raise additional investment capital, we determined that we should seek an alternative to continuing to commercialize CodecSys by ourselves.  Accordingly we sought a merger partner that has compatible video broadcasting products and services, with which we could integrate our CodecSys encoding system.  In January 2013 we entered into a Merger Agreement with AllDigital, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  The merger is subject among other things to normal due diligence, approval of the shareholders of both companies, and the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement.  The registration statement requires year-end financial statements be included with the proxy statements furnished to the shareholders and will not be effective until at least the second quarter of 2013.  On February 8, 2013, AllDigital notified us that we were in breach of certain covenants regarding unencumbered ownership or potential claims against our technology, which gave us 30 days to cure the alleged defects before the merger agreement could be terminated.  On March 8, 2013 AllDigital notified us that sufficient progress had been made that the cure period was extended to April 8, 2013 and later to May 8, 2013 for the remainder of the alleged defects to be cured or waived.  On April 10, 2013, the parties entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement which provides that either party may (i) terminate the Merger Agreement upon 3 days notice, with or without cause, without liability, (ii) eliminates the cure period date requirement and (iii) that the “No Shop” provision preventing us from contacting other potential purchasers or merger partners was removed.

To fund operations, we engaged our investment banker to raise funds through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.  We anticipate issuing promissory notes with a principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (“2012 Convertible Debt Offering”) due and payable on or before July 13, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, we had issued notes with an aggregate principal value of $3,475,000 as explained below.  The notes bear interest at 12% per annum and may be convertible to common stock at a $0.25 per share conversion price.  We also granted holders of the notes warrants with a five year life to acquire up to 200,000 shares of our common stock for each $100,000 of principal amount of the convertible notes.  The notes are secured by all of our assets with the exception of the equipment and receivables secured by the equipment lessor for equipment used in providing services for our largest customer’s digital signage network.  On July 13, 2012, we entered into a note and warrant purchase and security agreement with individual investors and broke escrow on the initial funding under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering, the principal amount of which was $1,900,000, which included the conversion of $900,000 of previously issued short term debt (See Bridge Loan described below) to the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering, which extinguished the Bridge Loan.  We realized $923,175 of cash in the initial closing, issued warrants to acquire 3,800,000 shares of our common stock and paid $76,825 in investment banking fees and costs of the offering.  We have continued sales of convertible debt under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering and as of March 31, 2013 have issued additional short term debt with a principal amount of $1,575,000, from which we realized cash of $1,526,624 after payment of investment banking fees of $48,376.  We have, however, paid no investment banking fees on sales of our 2012 Convertible Debt Offering since August 2012 and do not anticipate paying additional investment banking fees for the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering. We have issued warrants to acquire a total of 6,950,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering.

Our monthly operating expenses, since our expense reductions including that for CodecSys technology research and development expenses, no longer exceeds our monthly net sales.  However, at the end of May when our largest contract expires our revenues will be significantly reduced to the point where if we do not locate new customers our ability to continue without additional adjustments and expense reductions will be negatively impacted. The foregoing estimates, expectations and forward-looking statements are subject to change as we make strategic operating decisions from time to time and as our expenses and sales fluctuate from period to period.

The amount of our operating deficit could decrease or increase significantly depending on strategic and other operating decisions, thereby affecting our need for additional capital. We expect that our operating expenses will continue to outpace our net sales until we are able to generate additional revenue.  Our business model contemplates that sources of additional revenue include (i) sales from private communication network services, (ii) sales resulting from new customer contracts, and (iii) sales, licensing fees and/or royalties related to commercial applications of CodecSys technology, and (iv) operational efficiencies to be obtained through the merger will AllDigital.
 
 
20

 

Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon execution of our business model and the realization of additional revenue and working capital as described above, and upon capital needed for continued commercialization and development of the CodecSys technology.  Commercialization and future applications of the CodecSys technology are expected to require additional capital for the foreseeable future.  The amount required will be determined based  on specific opportunities and available funding.

To date, we have met our working capital needs primarily through funds received from sales of common stock and from convertible debt financings.  Until our operations become profitable, we will continue to rely on proceeds received from external funding.  We expect additional investment capital may come from (i) the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase capital stock currently held by existing warrant holders; (ii) additional private placements of common stock with existing and new investors; and (iii) the private placement of other securities with institutional investors similar to those institutions that have provided funding in the past.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).  These tiers include:

 
·
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
 
·
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
·
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at March 31, 2013:

The table below presents our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at March 31, 2013.  We classify financial instruments in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the valuation model.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of our accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their immediate or short-term maturities.  The aggregate carrying amount of the notes payable approximates fair value as the individual notes bear interest at market interest rates and there has not been a significant change in our operations and risk profile.

Note 10 – Equipment Financing

On August 27, 2009, we completed an equipment lease financing transaction with a financial institution.  Pursuant to the financing, we entered into various material agreements with the financial institution. These agreements are identified and summarized below.

We entered into a Master Lease Agreement dated as of July 28, 2009 with the financial institution pursuant to which we sold to the financing institution certain telecommunications equipment to be installed at 1,981 (subsequent additional locations have increased the customer’s network to an aggregate of approximately 2,100 locations) of our customer’s retail locations in exchange for a one-time payment of $4,100,670 by the financial institution. We paid to the financial institution 36 monthly lease payments of approximately $144,000 plus applicable sales taxes. We had the right to terminate the lease after making 33 payments for a termination fee of the higher of approximately 10% of the original equipment value (approximately $410,000) or the then “in-place fair market value” after which payment we would own all of the equipment. We gave timely notice of exercise of this option. We are currently a party to a lawsuit to determine if the “in-place fair market value” exceeds the 10% of the original lease value and by what amount.  We contend that the three payments made subsequent to the notice exercising our right to purchase constitute full payment for the equipment. The equipment broker contends that we owe an additional amount.  Our accounting records reflect that the capital lease has been retired and the equipment has been fully depreciated.

During the year ended December 31, 2012 we included in our lease payments approximately $422,100 toward the in place fair market value. Additionally during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 we made payments of $140,700 and $284,400, respectively, into an escrow account held by the court pending resolution of our dispute.  The $425,100 payments made to the escrow account have been recorded as restricted cash on our balance sheet.
 
We also entered into a security agreement with the financial institution pursuant to which we granted a first priority security interest in the equipment, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and in our customer service agreement and service payments thereunder during the term of the equipment lease.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we made lease payments totaling approximately $422,096 of which $388,581 was applied toward the outstanding lease with $33,515 included in interest expense.
 
 
22

 

Additionally, we recognized amortization of the lease acquisition fee of $12,567 which was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 11 – Interact Devices Inc. (IDI)

We began investing in and advancing monies to IDI in 2001.  IDI was developing technology which became an initial part of the CodecSys technology.
 
On October 23, 2003, IDI filed for Chapter 11 Federal Bankruptcy protection. We desired that the underlying patent process proceed and that the development of CodecSys technology continue. Therefore, we participated in IDI’s plan of reorganization, whereby we would satisfy the debts of the creditors and obtained certain licensing rights.  On May 18, 2004, the debtor-in-possession’s plan of reorganization for IDI was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. As a result of this confirmation, we issued to the creditors of IDI shares of our common stock and cash in exchange for approximately 50,127,218 shares of the common stock of IDI. Since May 18, 2004, we have acquired additional common share equivalents IDI.  As of March 31, 2013, we owned approximately 55,897,169 IDI common share equivalents, representing approximately 94% of the total outstanding IDI share equivalents
 
Since May 18, 2004, we have advanced additional cash to IDI for the payment of operating expenses, which continues development and marketing of the CodecSys technology. As of March 31, 2013 we have advanced an aggregate amount of $3,389,686, pursuant to a promissory note that is secured by assets and technology of IDI.
 
Note 12 – Employment Amendment and Settlement Agreements

Pursuant to the January 6, 2013 Amendment and Settlement Agreement with each of Mr. Tiede, Mr. Solomon, and a Senior Vice President their respective employment agreements were modified and we agreed to issue each individual 529,100 shares of common stock if they were terminated by us at any time following January 6, 2013.  All other termination benefits and severance were terminated as of January 6, 2013. We had an obligation as of March 6, 2013 to issue to each of them 529,100 shares of common stock.  As of March 31, 2013 these shares had not been issued, however an aggregate of $60,481 has been accrued representing the value of the benefits which will be exchanged for the shares.

Note 13 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) – Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This Update indicates that when the reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. This should be done if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. Partial sale guidance for an equity method investment that is a foreign entity still applies resulting in a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment being released to net income upon a partial sale of the equity method investment. This Update is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 for public companies and after December 15, 2014 for non-public companies. The Company doesn’t expect this Update to significantly impact its financials since it does not have any foreign entities. However, the guidance will be applied if it does occur.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405) – Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The Update requires a company to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of the following: 1) The amount the entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and 2) Any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This Update is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 for public companies and after December 15, 2014 for non-public companies. The Company doesn’t expect this Update to impact its financials since it does not have any obligations from joint and several liability arrangements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The main purpose of this Update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Update requires that the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income be reported on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified in its entirety to net income. For those items not reclassified in its entirety to net income, a cross-reference to other disclosures providing information about those amounts.  Furthermore, information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income must be shown by component. This Update is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 for public companies and after December 15, 2013 for non-public companies. The Company doesn’t expect this Update to impact its financials since it does not have any comprehensive income items.  However, if any are noted in the future, the appropriate disclosures will be incorporated.
.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The main purpose of this Update is to clarify that the disclosures regarding offsetting assets and liabilities per ASU 2011-11 apply to derivatives including embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are offset or subject to a master netting agreement. Other types of transactions are not impacted. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and for all interim periods within that fiscal year.

We have initiated discussions with various of our accounts payable vendors to settle some of our accounts payable for less than face value in exchange for a payment in cash and/or issuance of common stock. After the end of the quarter we were able to enter into agreements to discount our payables by approximately $800,000 through the payment of cash and issuance of stock.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our assumptions and estimates, including those related to recognition of revenue, valuation of investments, valuation of inventory, valuation of intangible assets, valuation of derivatives, measurement of stock-based compensation expense and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various 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 may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We discuss our critical accounting policies in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no other significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates since those reported in our Annual Report.
 
Executive Overview
 
The current recession and market conditions have had substantial impacts on the global and national economies and financial markets.  These factors, together with soft credit markets, have slowed business growth and generally made potential funding sources more difficult to access.  We continue to be affected by prevailing economic and market conditions, which present considerable risks and challenges to it.

Because we have not been successful in deploying our CodecSys technology with customers sufficient to achieve a breakeven and are finding it difficult to raise additional investment capital, we determined that we should seek an alternative to continuing to commercialize CodecSys by ourselves.  Accordingly we sought a merger partner that has compatible video broadcasting products and services, with which we could integrate our CodecSys encoding system.  On January 7, 2013, we entered into a Merger Agreement with AllDigital, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  The merger is subject among other things to normal due diligence, approval of the shareholders of both companies, and the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement.  The registration statement requires year-end financial statements be included with the proxy statements furnished to the shareholders and will not be effective until at least the second quarter of 2013.  On February 8, 2013, AllDigital notified us that we were in breach of certain covenants regarding unencumbered ownership or potential claims against our technology, which gave us 30 days to cure the alleged defects before the merger agreement could be terminated.  On March 8, 2013 AllDigital notified us that sufficient progress had been made that the cure period was extended to April 8, 2013 for the remainder of the alleged defects to be cured or waived, which extension was further extended to May 8, 2013 .  On April 10, 2013, the parties entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement which provides that either party may (i) terminate the Merger Agreement upon 3 days notice, with or without cause, without liability, (ii) eliminates the cure period date requirement and (iii) that the “No Shop” provision preventing us from contacting other potential purchasers or merger partners was removed.

During 2009, we decreased certain of our development activities and expenses notwithstanding the need to refocus and develop our CodecSys technology on a different platform using a newly announced Intel operating chip.  Even with decreased engineering staff and certain related development employees, we were able to complete our video encoding system utilizing the Intel chip, prepare its CodecSys technology for installation on both the IBM and HP equipment platforms, and become certified by Microsoft as an approved software video encoding system for use by IPTV providers using Microsoft operating platforms.  On July 1, 2010, we released CodecSys 2.0, which has been installed in various large telecoms and labs for evaluation by potential customers. In 2011 we continued development of additional sales channel partners by integrating CodecSys on hardware manufactured and sold by Fujitsu, which has adopted CodecSys as its compression technology for use in its NuVolo cloud initiative and has commenced sales and marketing efforts including CodecSys as an integral part of the products.  We continue to make sales presentations and respond to requests for proposals at other large telecoms, cable companies and broadcasting companies.  These presentations have been made with our technology partners which are suppliers of hardware and software for video transmission applications in media room environments such as IBM, HP Fujitsu and Microsoft. In October 2011, we completed our first sale of CodecSys to a small cable operator in Mexico as part of its OTT product offering operating on Fujitsu hardware.  It is currently in operation and demonstrates that the CodecSys product offering does operate to its operating specifications in a working environment, which we believe will help in its sales and marketing efforts.

On July 31, 2009, we entered into a $10.1 million, three-year contract with Bank of America, a Fortune 10 financial institution, to provide technology and digital signage services to approximately 2,100 of its more than 6,000 retail and administrative locations throughout North America. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we realized approximately $6,386,903 from this contract, which constituted approximately 85% of our revenues for the period.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, we realized approximately $7,540,025 in revenue from this contract, which contributed approximately 89% of our revenues for the year.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we realized approximately $1,346,644 in revenue compared to $1,518,654 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which constituted 91% and 87% of our total revenues respectively. Because the customer has not selected us as its vendor after the contract expires in May 2013, our revenues will be substantially less after the contract terminates unless we can secure contracts which can replace the revenue lost from its largest customer.

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased by approximately $922,458 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Even with the decrease in our revenues, we realized an increase of approximately $126,519 in our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, but we continued to deplete our available cash and increased our need for future equity and debt financing because we continue to spend more money than we generate from operations.

To fund operations, we engaged our investment banker to raise funds through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.  We anticipate issuing promissory notes with a principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (“2012 Convertible Debt Offering”) due and payable on or before July 13, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, we had issued notes with an aggregate principal value of $3,475,000 as explained below.  The notes bear interest at 12% per annum and may be convertible to common stock at a $0.25 per share conversion price.  We also granted holders of the notes warrants with a five year life to acquire up to 200,000 shares of our common stock for each $100,000 of principal amount of the convertible notes.  The notes are secured by all of our assets with the exception of the equipment and receivables secured by the equipment lessor for equipment used in providing services for our largest customer’s digital signage network.  On July 13, 2012, we entered into a note and warrant purchase and security agreement with individual investors and broke escrow on the initial funding under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering, the principal amount of which was $1,900,000, which included the conversion of $900,000 of previously issued short term debt (see Bridge Loan described below) to the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering, which extinguished the Bridge Loan.  We realized $923,175 of cash in the initial closing, issued warrants to acquire 3,800,000 shares of our common stock and paid $76,825 in investment banking fees and costs of the offering.  We have continued sales of convertible debt under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering and as of January 31, 2013 have issued additional short term debt with a principal amount of $1,225,000, from which we realized cash of $1,176,624 after payment of investment banking fees of $48,376.  We have, however, paid no investment banking fees on sales of our 2012 Convertible Debt Offering since August 2012 and do not anticipate paying additional investment banking fees for the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering. We have issued warrants to acquire a total of 6,950,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering.

In April 2013 we entered into an accounts receivable purchase agreement with one of our directors under the terms of which he agreed to purchase $750,000 of our accounts receivable generated over the next succeeding three months.  The $750,000 was discounted by $45,000 and we received net proceeds from the accounts receivable factoring of $705,000.

On March 16, 2012, we closed on an equity financing (the “2012 Equity Financing”) as well as a restructuring of our outstanding senior convertible indebtedness (the “2012 Debt Restructuring”) resulting in complete satisfaction our senior indebtedness.

We entered in to an Engagement Agreement, dated October 28, 2011, with MDB Capital Group, LLC(“MDB”), pursuant to which MDB agreed to act as our exclusive agent on a “best efforts” basis with respect to the sale of up to a maximum gross consideration of $6,000,000, subsequently verbally increased to $10,000,000, of our securities, subject to a minimum gross consideration of $3,000,000.  We agreed to pay to MDB a commission of 10% of the gross offering proceeds received by us, to grant to MDB warrants to acquire up to 10% of the shares of our common stock issued in the financing, and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of MDB related to the offering.

Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated March 13, 2012 with select institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of 27,800,000 units of our securities.  The SPA included a purchase price of $0.25 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and two forms of Warrant: (1) The “A” Warrant grants the investors the right to purchase an additional share of common stock for each two shares of common stock purchased, for a term of six years and at an exercise price of $.35 per share; and (2) The “B” Warrant, which has now been extinguished as described below, would not have been exercisable unless and until the occurrence of a future issuance of stock at less than $0.25 per share, but, in the event of such issuance, granted the investors the right to acquire additional shares at a price of $0.05 to reduce the impact of the dilution caused by such issuance, but in no event were the number of shares to be issued under the B Warrant to cause us to exceed the number of authorized shares of our common stock.  A majority of the holders of the B Warrants agreed in December 2012 to amend the terms of the B Warrant to reduce the amount of subsequent financing required to extinguish the B Warrants.

Proceeds from the 2012 Equity Financing, before deducting the commissions and the legal, printing and other costs and expenses related to the financing, were approximately $6,950,000.  Coincident to the closing of the 2012 Equity Financing, we also closed on the 2012 Debt Restructuring.  In connection therewith, we paid $2.75 million to Castlerigg Master Investment Ltd. (“Castlerigg”), and issued to Castlerigg 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $760,000 in full and complete satisfaction of the $5.5 million senior convertible note and all accrued interest then owing.  In accepting the cash and stock tendered, Castlerigg forgave $2,670,712, which included $680,816 in accrued but unpaid interest. In consideration of negotiating the 2012 Debt Restructuring, we paid to one of our placement agents compensation equal to 10% of the savings realized through the 2012 Debt Restructuring, which consisted of paying cash of $275,041 and issuing 586,164 shares of Broadcast common stock valued at $222,742. As a result of the forgoing we recognized a gain on settlement of debt of $2,173,032.

In December 2011, we entered into a loan with 7 accredited individuals and entities under the terms of which we borrowed $1,300,000 to be used as working capital (“Bridge Loan”).  The Bridge Loan bears an interest rate of 18% per annum and had a maturity date of February 28, 2012, which was subsequently extended to the earlier of the date nine months from the original maturity date or the date we closed on an additional sale of its securities that resulted in gross proceeds to us of $12 million.  In consideration of the Bridge Loan, we granted to lenders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a five year term to purchase 357,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.  In consideration of the extension of the maturity date of the Bridge Loan, we granted the lenders Bridge Loan warrants with a six year term to purchase 247,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.35 per share.

In connection with the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the SPA, two of the above described bridge lenders converted the principal balance of their portion of the bridge loan in the amount of $400,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing.  In addition, one other entity converted the amount owed by us for equipment purchases in the amount of $500,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing. The proceeds from these conversions were treated as funds raised with respect to the financing.

In connection with the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the SPA, we agreed to prepare and file, within 60 days following the issuance of the securities, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the financing and the shares of common stock underlying certain warrants.  We filed as required and the registration statement was declared effective within 120 days following the date of the filing of the registration statement, with the result that we were not obligated to pay any penalties in connection with the registration statement.

During 2010 Broadcast sold 1,601,666 shares of its common stock to 19 separate investors at a purchase price of $1.00 per share together with a warrant to purchase additional shares of our common stock for $1.50 per share. The warrant expires at the end of three years. The net proceeds from the sale of these shares were used for general working capital purposes. Each of the investors was given the right to adjust their purchase in the event we sold additional equity at a price and on terms different from the terms on which their equity was purchased.  Upon completion of the 2010 Equity Financing described below, each of the investors converted their purchase to the terms contained in the 2010 Equity Financing.  This resulted in the issuance of an additional 2,083,374 shares of common stock and the cancellation of 2,495,075 warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 and the issuance of 2,079,222 warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 and an expiration date of five years from the conversion.

On December 24, 2010, we closed on an equity financing (the “2010 Equity Financing”) as well as a restructuring of its outstanding convertible indebtedness (the “2010 Debt Restructuring”).  The 2010 Equity Financing and the 2010 Debt Restructuring are described as follows.

We entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated December 17, 2010, with Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation (“PBC”), pursuant to which PBC agreed to act as our exclusive agent on a “best efforts” basis with respect to the sale of up to a maximum gross consideration of $15,000,000 of units of our securities, subject to a minimum gross consideration of $10,000,000.  The Units consisted of two shares of our common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of our common stock. We agreed to pay PBC a commission of 8% of the gross offering proceeds received by us, to issue PBC 40,000 shares of our common stock for each $1,000,000 raised, and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of PBC related to the offering. We also agreed to pay PBC a restructuring fee in the amount of approximately $180,000 upon the closing of the 2010 Equity Financing and the simultaneous 2010 Debt Restructuring.

Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, we entered into Subscription Agreements dated December 23, 2010 with select institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of 12,500,000 units of its securities.  The Subscription Agreements included a purchase price of $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock.  The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

Net proceeds from the 2010 Equity Financing, after deducting the commissions and debt restructuring fees payable to PBC and the estimated legal, printing and other costs and expenses related to the financing, were approximately $13.5 million.  We used a portion of the net proceeds of the 2010 Equity Financing to pay down debt and the remainder was used for working capital.

On November 29, 2010, we entered into a bridge loan transaction with three accredited investors pursuant to which we issued unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million.  Upon the closing of the 2010 Equity Financing, the lenders converted the entire principal amount plus accrued interest into the same units offered in the 2010 Equity Financing and the proceeds from the bridge loan transaction were treated as funds raised with respect to the financing.

In connection with the 2010 Equity Financing and under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, we agreed to prepare and file and did file, within 60 days following the issuance of the securities, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the financing and the shares of common stock underlying the certain of the warrants.  The registration statement continues to be effective.

On December 24, 2010, we also closed on the 2010 Debt Restructuring.  In connection therewith, we (i) issued an Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Note in the principal amount of $5.5 million (the “Amended and Restated Note”) to Castlerigg Master Investment Ltd. (“Castlerigg”), (ii) paid $2.5 million in cash to Castlerigg, (iii) cancelled warrants previously issued to Castlerigg that were exercisable for a total of 5,208,333 shares of common stock, (iv) issued 800,000 shares of common stock to Castlerigg in satisfaction of an obligation under a prior loan amendment, (v) entered into the Letter Agreement pursuant to which we paid Castlerigg an additional $2.75 million in cash in lieu of the issuance of $3.5 million in stock and warrants as provided in the loan restructuring agreement under which the Amended and Restated Note and other documents were issued (the “Loan Restructuring Agreement”), and (vi) entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Castlerigg dated December 23, 2010.  As a result of the foregoing, Castlerigg forgave approximately $7.2 million of principal and accrued but unpaid interest.
The Amended and Restated Note, dated December 23, 2010, was a senior, unsecured note that matured in three years from the closing and bore interest at an annual rate of 6.25%, payable semi-annually.  Broadcast paid the first year’s interest of approximately $344,000 at the closing.

In connection with the 2010 Debt Restructuring, we amended the note with the holder of a $1.0 million unsecured convertible note, pursuant to which the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2013.  We also issued 150,000 shares to the holder of this note and a warrant to acquire up to 75,000 shares of our common stock as consideration to extend the term of the note. The warrant is exercisable for $0.90 per share and has a five year life.

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012

Revenues

The Company generated $1,480,569 in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  During the same three-month period in 2012, the Company generated revenue of $1,745,097.  The decrease in revenue of $264,528 was due primarily to a decrease of $223,414 of system sales and installation fees, approximately 65% of which was related to work performed on the digital signage network of our largest customer due to decreased installations and onsite service as we transition away from serving that customer.  The revenue generated by our largest customer aggregated $1,346,644, which was $172,010 less than in the same quarter of 2012.  In the same period our studio and production fees decreased by approximately $43,343 which represents a decision to perform less of such services in the future.

The Company's largest customer’s sales revenues accounted for approximately 91% of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Any material reduction in revenues generated from our largest customer will harm the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and since we will no longer be servicing this customer after May of this year we expect that our gross revenues will be substantially less than in the past.

Cost of Revenues

Costs of Revenues decreased by $467,923 to $777,569 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $1,245,492 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $213,796 in our cost of equipment sales due to reduced activity for our largest customer, a decrease of $197,138 in depreciation and amortization expenses because assets used in servicing our largest client have been fully depreciated, and a decrease of $56,992 in our operations department expenses due primarily to a reduction of personnel in anticipation of losing our largest customer.  With the cost containment measures we implemented in view of our decreasing revenues in coming quarters, the gross margin from our operating activities, increased by $203,395 to $703,000 for the quarter.

Expenses

General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $986,209 compared to $1,329,281 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease of $343,072 resulted primarily from a decrease in employee and related costs of $198,601 due to a reduction in staff and salary deductions, a reduction of $176,963 in consulting expenses, a reduction of $78,258 in travel related expenses and a decrease of expenses incurred for the issuance of options and warrants of $56,305. The overall decrease was partially offset by an increase of $131,932 in legal expenses related primarily to the proposed merger with Alldigital and $86,670 in consulting expenses also related primarily to the pending merger. Research and development in process decreased by $331,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $225,374 from $556,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a reduction in tradeshow, conventions and travel related expense of $99,965 demonstrating reduced activity before the pending merger, a reduction of $88,731 in consulting fees due to decreased development activities, a reduction of $50,021 in employee and related expenses due to reductions of development personnel and a reduction of $49, 086 in temporary help resulting from decreased development work being done.  Sale and marketing expenses decreased by $378,930 primarily due to a reduction of employee and related costs of $205,814 and a reduction of $146,799 in tradeshow and related travel expenses reflecting the general reduction in staff and emphasis in anticipation of the pending merger.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred interest expense of $533,785 compared to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $342,728.  The increase of $191,057 resulted primarily from interest recorded of $407,830 in 2013 related to the issuance of our 2012 convertible debt in 2012 and 2013 that was not outstanding during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease of $101,860 in interest related to our 2011 Bridge Note that was retired in 2012, and a decrease of $33,514 of interest expense related to the equipment financing for our largest customer that was also retired during 2012.  The main components of our interest expense consisted of (i) $411,770 recorded to account for the accretion of our notes payable and amortization of debt offering costs and (ii) $122,015 for interest paid or accrued related primarily to our notes payable.

Net Loss

The Company realized a net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2013 of $1,887,563 compared with a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $185,477. The increase in net loss of $ 1,887,563 was primarily the result of a derivative valuation loss of $735,115 compared to derivative valuation gain of $1,629,325 in the prior year and decrease of $1,603,488 in the gain from the extinguishment of debt and an increase in interest expense of $191,057 as explained above partially offset by a decrease of $1,323,358 in the loss from operations as explained above and a decrease in debt conversion costs of $1,076,473.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of $656,918, total current assets of $1,866,663, total current liabilities of $9,079,259 and total stockholders' deficit of $6,435,100.  Included in current liabilities is $1,984,784 relating to the value of the embedded derivatives for our 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Note, our unsecured convertible note and warrants outstanding granted to investors in the 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Note issuances and the 2012 and 2010 Equity Financings.
 
We experienced positive cash flow from operations during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $121,976 compared to negative cash flow used in operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $1,179,957. We received proceeds from the issuance of our 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Note financing of $425,000 during the quarter that was used to pay ongoing expenses of operations and accounts payable.  We expect to experience negative operating cash flow at such time as the contract with our largest customer expires at the end of May, 2013 unless we increase our sales and/or licensing revenue.  During the quarter, we decreased our negative cash flow through a continued reduction in the number of employees, as well as additional expense reduction actions including reducing sales and general and administrative expenses.

We have initiated discussions with various of our accounts payable vendors to settle some of our accounts payable for less than face value in exchange for a payment in cash and/or issuance of common stock.  After the end of the quarter we were able to enter into agreements to discount our payables by approximately $800,000 through the payment of cash and issuance of stock.

In April 2013 we entered into an accounts receivable purchase agreement with one of our directors under the terms of which he agreed to purchase $750,000 of our accounts receivable generated over the next succeeding three months.  The $750,000 was discounted by $45,000 and we received net proceeds from the accounts receivable factoring of $705,000.
 
The current recession and market conditions have had substantial impacts on the global and national economies and financial markets.  These factors, together with soft credit markets, have slowed business growth and generally made potential funding sources more difficult to access.  We continue to be affected by prevailing economic and market conditions, which present considerable risks and challenges to it.

Because we have not been successful in deploying our CodecSys technology with customers sufficient to achieve a breakeven and are finding it difficult to raise additional investment capital, we determined that we should seek an alternative to continuing to commercialize CodecSys by ourselves.  Accordingly we sought a merger partner that has compatible video broadcasting products and services, with which we could integrate our CodecSys encoding system.  In January 2013 we entered into a Merger Agreement with AllDigital, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  The merger is subject among other things to normal due diligence, approval of the shareholders of both companies, and the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement.  The registration statement requires year-end financial statements be included with the proxy statements furnished to the shareholders and will not be effective until at least the second quarter of 2013.  On February 8, 2013, AllDigital notified us that we were in breach of certain covenants regarding unencumbered ownership or potential claims against our technology, which gave us 30 days to cure the alleged defects before the merger agreement could be terminated.  On March 8, 2013 AllDigital notified us that sufficient progress had been made that the cure period was extended to April 8, 2013 and later to May 8, 2013 for the remainder of the alleged defects to be cured or waived.  On April 10, 2013, the parties entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement which provides that either party may (i) terminate the Merger Agreement upon 3 days notice, with or without cause, without liability, (ii) eliminates the cure period date requirement and (iii) that the “No Shop” provision preventing us from contacting other potential purchasers or merger partners was removed.

To fund operations, we engaged our investment banker to raise funds through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.  We anticipate issuing promissory notes with a principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (“2012 Convertible Debt Offering”) due and payable on or before July 13, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, we had issued notes with an aggregate principal value of $3,475,000 as explained below.  The notes bear interest at 12% per annum and may be convertible to common stock at a $0.25 per share conversion price.  We also granted holders of the notes warrants with a five year life to acquire up to 200,000 shares of our common stock for each $100,000 of principal amount of the convertible notes.  The notes are secured by all of our assets with the exception of the equipment and receivables secured by the equipment lessor for equipment used in providing services for our largest customer’s digital signage network.  On July 13, 2012, we entered into a note and warrant purchase and security agreement with individual investors and broke escrow on the initial funding under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering, the principal amount of which was $1,900,000, which included the conversion of $900,000 of previously issued short term debt (See Bridge Loan described below) to the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering, which extinguished the Bridge Loan.  We realized $923,175 of cash in the initial closing, issued warrants to acquire 3,800,000 shares of our common stock and paid $76,825 in investment banking fees and costs of the offering.  We have continued sales of convertible debt under the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering and as of March 31, 2013 have issued additional short term debt with a principal amount of $1,575,000, from which we realized cash of $1,526,624 after payment of investment banking fees of $48,376.  We have, however, paid no investment banking fees on sales of our 2012 Convertible Debt Offering since August 2012 and do not anticipate paying additional investment banking fees for the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering. We have issued warrants to acquire a total of 6,950,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2012 Convertible Debt Offering.

On March 16, 2012, we closed on an equity financing (the “2012 Equity Financing”) as well as a restructuring of our outstanding senior convertible indebtedness (the “2012 Debt Restructuring”) resulting in complete satisfaction our senior indebtedness.

We entered in to an Engagement Agreement, dated October 28, 2011, with MDB Capital Group, LLC(“MDB”), pursuant to which MDB agreed to act as our exclusive agent on a “best efforts” basis with respect to the sale of up to a maximum gross consideration of $6,000,000, subsequently verbally increased to $10,000,000, of our securities, subject to a minimum gross consideration of $3,000,000.  We agreed to pay to MDB a commission of 10% of the gross offering proceeds received by us, to grant to MDB warrants to acquire up to 10% of the shares of ours common stock issued in the financing, and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of MDB related to the offering.

Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated March 13, 2012 with select institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of 27,800,000 units of its securities.  The SPA included a purchase price of $0.25 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and two forms of Warrant: (1) The “A” Warrant grants the investors the right to purchase an additional share of common stock for each two shares of common stock purchased, for a term of six years and at an exercise price of $.35 per share; and (2) The “B” Warrant, which has now been extinguished as described below, would not have been exercisable unless and until the occurrence of a future issuance of stock at less than $0.25 per share, but, in the event of such issuance, granted the investors the right to acquire additional shares at a price of $0.05 to reduce the impact of the dilution caused by such issuance, but in no event were the number of shares to be issued under the B Warrant to cause us to exceed the number of authorized shares of our common stock.  A majority of the holders of the B Warrants agreed in December 2012 to amend the terms of the B Warrant to reduce the amount of subsequent financing required to extinguish the B Warrants with the result that the B Warrants may now be extinguished by notice to the holders of the B Warrants.

Proceeds from the 2012 Equity Financing, before deducting the commissions and the legal, printing and other costs and expenses related to the financing, were approximately $6,950,000.  Coincident to the closing of the 2012 Equity Financing, we also closed on the 2012 Debt Restructuring.  In connection therewith, we paid $2.75 million to Castlerigg Master Investment Ltd. (“Castlerigg”), and issued to Castlerigg 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $760,000 in full and complete satisfaction of the $5.5 million senior convertible note and all accrued interest then owing.  In accepting the cash and stock tendered, Castlerigg forgave $2,670,712, which included $680,816 in accrued but unpaid interest. In consideration of negotiating the 2012 Debt Restructuring, we paid to one of our placement agents compensation equal to 10% of the savings realized through the 2012 Debt Restructuring, which consisted of paying cash of $275,041 and issuing 586,164 shares of Broadcast common stock valued at $222,742. As a result of the forgoing we recognized a gain on settlement of debt of $2,173,032.

In December 2011, we entered into a loan with 7 accredited individuals and entities under the terms of which we borrowed $1,300,000 to be used as working capital (“Bridge Loan”).  The Bridge Loan bears an interest rate of 18% per annum and had a maturity date of February 28, 2012, which was subsequently extended to the earlier of the date nine months from the original maturity date or the date we closed on an additional sale of its securities that resulted in gross proceeds to us of $12 million.  In consideration of the Bridge Loan, we granted to lenders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a five year term to purchase 357,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.  In consideration of the extension of the maturity date of the Bridge Loan, we granted the lenders Bridge Loan warrants with a six year term to purchase 247,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.35 per share.

In connection with the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the SPA, two of the above described bridge lenders converted the principal balance of their portion of the bridge loan in the amount of $400,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing.  In addition, one other entity converted the amount owed by us for equipment purchases in the amount of $500,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing. The proceeds from these conversions were treated as funds raised with respect to the financing.

During 2010 we sold 1,601,666 shares of its common stock to 19 separate investors at a purchase price of $1.00 per share together with a warrant to purchase additional shares of our common stock for $1.50 per share. The warrant expires at the end of three years. The net proceeds from the sale of these shares were used for general working capital purposes. Each of the investors was given the right to adjust their purchase in the event we sold additional equity at a price and on terms different from the terms on which their equity was purchased.  Upon completion of the 2010 Equity Financing described below, each of the investors converted their purchase to the terms contained in the 2010 Equity Financing.  This resulted in the issuance of an additional 2,083,374 shares of common stock and the cancellation of 2,495,075 warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 and the issuance of 2,079,222 warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 and an expiration date of five years from the conversion.  On December 24, 2010, we closed on an equity financing (the “2010 Equity Financing”) as well as a restructuring of its outstanding convertible indebtedness (the “2010 Debt Restructuring”).  The 2010 Equity Financing and the 2010 Debt Restructuring are described as follows.

We entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated December 17, 2010, with Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation (“PBC”), pursuant to which PBC agreed to act as our exclusive agent on a “best efforts” basis with respect to the sale of up to a maximum gross consideration of $15,000,000 of units of our securities, subject to a minimum gross consideration of $10,000,000.  The Units consisted of two shares of our common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of our common stock. We agreed to pay PBC a commission of 8% of the gross offering proceeds received by us, to issue PBC 40,000 shares of our common stock for each $1,000,000 raised, and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of PBC related to the offering. We also agreed to pay PBC a restructuring fee in the amount of approximately $180,000 upon the closing of the 2010 Equity Financing and the simultaneous 2010 Debt Restructuring.

Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, we entered into Subscription Agreements dated December 23, 2010 with select institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of 12,500,000 units of its securities.  The Subscription Agreements included a purchase price of $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock.  The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

Net proceeds from the 2010 Equity Financing, after deducting the commissions and debt restructuring fees payable to PBC and the estimated legal, printing and other costs and expenses related to the financing, were approximately $13.5 million.  We used a portion of the net proceeds of the 2010 Equity Financing to pay down debt and the remainder was used for working capital.

On November 29, 2010, we entered into a bridge loan transaction with three accredited investors pursuant to which we issued unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million.  Upon the closing of the 2010 Equity Financing, the lenders converted the entire principal amount plus accrued interest into the same units offered in the 2010 Equity Financing and the proceeds from the bridge loan transaction were treated as funds raised with respect to the financing.

On December 24, 2010, we also closed on the 2010 Debt Restructuring.  In connection therewith, we (i) issued an Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Note in the principal amount of $5.5 million (the “Amended and Restated Note”) to Castlerigg Master Investment Ltd. (“Castlerigg”), (ii) paid $2.5 million in cash to Castlerigg, (iii) cancelled warrants previously issued to Castlerigg that were exercisable for a total of 5,208,333 shares of common stock, (iv) issued 800,000 shares of common stock to Castlerigg in satisfaction of an obligation under a prior loan amendment, (v) entered into the Letter Agreement pursuant to which we paid Castlerigg an additional $2.75 million in cash in lieu of the issuance of $3.5 million in stock and warrants as provided in the loan restructuring agreement under which the Amended and Restated Note and other documents were issued (the “Loan Restructuring Agreement”), and (vi) entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Castlerigg dated December 23, 2010.  As a result of the foregoing, Castlerigg forgave approximately $7.2 million of principal and accrued but unpaid interest.  The Amended and Restated Note, dated December 23, 2010, was a senior, unsecured note that matured in three years from the closing and bore interest at an annual rate of 6.25%, payable semi-annually.  Broadcast paid the first year’s interest of approximately $344,000 at the closing.

In connection with the 2010 Debt Restructuring, we amended the note with the holder of a $1.0 million unsecured convertible note, pursuant to which the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2013.  We also issued 150,000 shares to the holder of this note and a warrant to acquire up to 75,000 shares of our common stock as consideration to extend the term of the note. The warrant is exercisable for $0.90 per share and has a five year life.

During 2010, we entered into two Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreements with one individual for an aggregate amount of $775,000. In these agreements, we pledged certain outstanding accounts receivable in exchange for an advance payment and a commitment to remit to the purchaser the amount advanced upon collection from Broadcast’s customer.  Terms of the first agreement under which we were advanced $275,000 include a 3% discount with a 3% interest fee for every 30 days the advances remain outstanding.  Terms of the second agreement under which we were advanced $500,000 include a 10% discount with a 0.5% interest fee for every 30 days the advances remain outstanding.

During 2010, we entered into a $500,000 line of credit for equipment financing to purchase equipment for our largest customer’s digital signage network.  The terms of the line of credit include a 3% interest fee for every 30 days the advances on the line of credit remain outstanding.  We received total advances on the line of credit of $500,000 and subsequent to the completion of the Equity Financing repaid the line of credit.  We used the proceeds to purchase and install the equipment at our customer’s locations.

In August 2009, we entered into a sale and leaseback agreement which financed the purchase and installation of equipment to retrofit our new customer’s approximately 2,100 retail sites with our digital signage product offering.  We received approximately $4,100,000 from the sale of the equipment in exchange for making lease payments over a 36 month period of approximately $144,000 per month.

On December 24, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement in connection with its senior secured convertible note financing in which it raised $15,000,000 (less $937,000 of prepaid interest).  We used the proceeds from this financing to support its CodecSys commercialization and development and for general working capital purposes.  The senior secured convertible note has been retired as described above.  During 2010, we capitalized interest of $1,491,161 related to the senior secured convertible note.

On November 2, 2006, we closed on a convertible note securities agreement dated October 28, 2006 with an individual that provided we issue to the convertible note holder (i) an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us from an affiliate of the convertible note holder on September 29, 2006, and (ii) four classes of warrants (A warrants, B warrants, C warrants and D warrants) which gave the convertible note holder the right to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock.  The holder of the note no longer has any warrants to purchase any of our stock.  The unsecured convertible note was due October 16, 2009 and was extended to December 22, 2010 and the annual interest rate was increased to 8%, payable semi-annually in cash or in shares of our common stock if certain conditions are satisfied  The unsecured convertible note was convertible into shares of common stock originally at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the note, and is subject to standard anti-dilution rights, pursuant to which the note is now convertible at a conversion price of $.25 per share.  The term of the convertible note has been extended and now is due December 31, 2013.  In connection with the extension of the note, Broadcast issued to the holder of the note 150,000 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to acquire up to 75,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.90 per share to extend the term of the note.  In addition, we committed to pay accrued interest due on the convertible note through the issuance of common stock and warrants on the same terms as the Equity Financing.

The conversion feature and the prepayment provision of our $5.5 million Amended and Restated Note and its $1.0 million unsecured convertible note have been accounted for as embedded derivatives and valued on the respective transaction dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model.  The warrants related to the $1.0 million unsecured convertible notes have been accounted for as derivatives and were valued on the respective transaction dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model as well.  At the end of each quarterly reporting date, the values of the embedded derivatives and the warrants are evaluated and adjusted to current market value.  The conversion features of the convertible notes and the warrants may be exercised at any time and, therefore, have been reported as current liabilities.  Prepayment provisions contained in the convertible notes limit Broadcast’s ability to prepay the notes in certain circumstances.  For all periods since the issuance of the senior secured convertible note and the unsecured convertible note, the derivative values of the respective prepayment provisions have been nominal and have not had any offsetting effect on the valuation of the conversion features of the notes.  For a description of the accounting treatment of the senior secured convertible note financing, see Note 7 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included elsewhere herein.

On March 21, 2011, we converted $784,292 of our short-term debt into equity through the issuance of common stock and warrants to two lenders at the same unit pricing as the 2010 Equity Financing. In consideration of converting the short- term loans on the basis of $1.20 for two shares of common stock plus one warrant at an exercise price of $1.00, we issued 1,307,153 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire up to 653,576 shares of common stock, which warrants have a five year term and are exercisable at $1.00 per share.  Our objective for converting the short-term debt into equity was to conserve cash.

Our monthly operating expenses, since our expense reductions including that for CodecSys technology research and development expenses, no longer exceeds our monthly net sales.  However, at the end of May when our largest contract expires our revenues will be significantly reduced to the point where if we do not locate new customers our ability to continue without additional adjustments and expense reductions will be negatively impacted. The foregoing estimates, expectations and forward-looking statements are subject to change as we make strategic operating decisions from time to time and as our expenses and sales fluctuate from period to period.

The amount of our operating deficit could decrease or increase significantly depending on strategic and other operating decisions, thereby affecting our need for additional capital. We expect that our operating expenses will continue to outpace our net sales until we are able to generate additional revenue.  Our business model contemplates that sources of additional revenue include (i) sales from private communication network services, (ii) sales resulting from new customer contracts, and (iii) sales, licensing fees and/or royalties related to commercial applications of CodecSys technology, and (iv) operational efficiencies to be obtained through the merger will AllDigital.

Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon execution of our business model and the realization of additional revenue and working capital as described above, and upon capital needed for continued commercialization and development of the CodecSys technology.  Commercialization and future applications of the CodecSys technology are expected to require additional capital for the foreseeable future.  The amount required will be determined based on specific opportunities and available funding.

To date, we have met our working capital needs primarily through funds received from sales of common stock and from convertible debt financings.  Until our operations become profitable, we will continue to rely on proceeds received from external funding.  We expect additional investment capital may come from (i) the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase capital stock currently held by existing warrant holders; (ii) additional private placements of common stock with existing and new investors; and (iii) the private placement of other securities with institutional investors similar to those institutions that have provided funding in the past.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates.  We do not issue financial instruments for trading purposes or have any derivative financial instruments.  As discussed above, however, the embedded conversion feature and prepayment option of our senior secured convertible notes and our related warrants are deemed to be derivatives and are subject to quarterly “mark-to-market” valuations.
 
 
36

 

Our cash and cash equivalents are also exposed to market risk.  However, because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our cash and cash equivalent investments.  We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure and are not exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.  As of March 31, 2013, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2013, were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and in ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our system of internal control over financial reporting within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of our published financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013.  In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of March 31, 2013, our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control.
 
Limitations on Controls and Procedures
 
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud.  Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.  Because of these limitations, any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting may not be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
 
The foregoing limitations do not qualify the conclusions set forth above by our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013.

We are parties to legal matters. We were a judgment debtor in a lawsuit, the total amount in dispute was approximately $130,000.  We settled this obligation in April 2013 for the payment of $25,000.

On July 27, 2012, CTC Resources Inc. dba U.S. Media Capital (“CTC”) filed a lawsuit in the Third Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake City, State of Utah against ACC Capital Corporation (“ACC”), Loni L. Lowder and the Company (the “CTCD Lawsuit”) asserting claims for relief for breach of contract against ACC, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud against ACC and Mr. Lowder and civil conspiracy against ACC, Mr. Lowder and the Company, and seeking injunctive relief and constructive trust as to all defendants as well as money damages.  On October 9, 2012, we filed our answer as well as a cross claim against ACC seeking declaratory relief as to the price to be paid by us for the leased equipment and specific performance against ACC.  On January 7, 2013 in a hearing relative to a temporary injunction previously granted by the Court, the Court took testimony and heard arguments from the parties on the matter and the Court and the parties agreed that a trial would be unnecessary.  Both parties submitted briefs regarding the law and summarizing the testimony elicited at the hearing.  The Court’s judgment rendered on February 25, 2013 vacated the parties’ joint appraisal and required that the parties jointly secure another appraisal for the equipment, the results of which appraisal will be binding on the parties.  We have paid $424,500 toward the purchase price of the equipment, which we believe satisfies our payment obligation, but pursuant to a restraining order we sought to prevent the lessor from contacting our customer, we have escrowed an additional $425,100 with the Court and have now petitioned the court to modify the order to change our obligation to continue making monthly escrow payments.  Because of the amounts paid and escrowed we have made no further reserves in our financial statements with respect to this litigation and account for the deposits as restricted cash on our balance sheet.

To the knowledge of management, no other litigation has been filed or, except for one collection matter, threatened.


There have been no material changes in risk factors from those described in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.


In January 2013, we issued two convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $425,000 to six individual investors in consideration of the payment of an aggregate amount $425,000.  The notes are convertible at the rate of $.25 per share or 1,700,000 shares any time prior to their maturity dates, which is July 13, 2013.  In addition, we granted to the investors warrants to acquire an additional 850,000 shares at an exercise price of $.25 per share.  The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance.  The investors are accredited investors and were fully informed regarding their investments.  In the transaction, we relied on the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.

On February 21, 2013, we issued restricted stock units that may be settled by the issuance of 200,000 shares of our common stock to each of three of our directors and 86,667 shares to one of our directors for a total of 686,667 shares in consideration of unpaid director fees, which aggregated $51,500 or $0.075 per share.  The directors are accredited investors and were fully informed regarding their investments.  In the transaction, we relied on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.

On February 21, 2013, we issued 200,000 shares of our common stock to one of our former directors in consideration of unpaid director fees, which aggregated $15,000 or $0.075 per share.  The former director is an accredited investor and was fully informed regarding their investments.  In the transaction, we relied on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.

On March 21, 2013, we issued 258,553 shares of our common stock to a former director in settlement of Restricted Stock Units held by him at his retirement from the Board of Directors.  The director is an accredited investor and was fully informed regarding his investment.  In the transaction, we relied on the exemption from registration in the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.
