FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain
statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking
statements” regarding the plans and objectives of management for future
operations and market trends and expectations. The words “expect,”
“believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “propose,” “seek” and
similar words and variations thereof, when used, are intended to specifically
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual
results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included
herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to those set forth in our Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB as filed on March 31, 2008 and in each of our Registration
Statements on Form S-1, as amended and filed with the SEC on April 1,
2008. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions
involving the continued expansion of our business. Assumptions relating to the
foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future
economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are
beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions
could prove inaccurate and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the
forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be
accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our
objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect
management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake any
obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events
or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
The terms
the “Company”, “Sona”, “we”, “our”, “us”, and derivatives thereof, as used
herein refer to Sona Mobile Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiaries and its predecessor, Sona Mobile, Inc., a Washington
corporation.

Note
1. Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sona Mobile Holdings Corp.
(the “Company”) have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a
going concern. However, since its inception in November 2003, the
Company has generated minimal revenue, has incurred substantial losses and has
not generated any positive cash flow from operations. The Company has
relied upon the sale of shares of equity securities and convertible debt to fund
its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts or classification of liabilities that may result from the possible
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
At June
30, 2008, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $548,102 held in
current and short-term deposit accounts. Management believes that
based on the current level of spending and the current cash receipts, this cash
will only be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations until prior
to the end of August 2008. The Company has been actively
pursuing potential financing or other transaction options for the Company to
raise additional funds. The Company is in the final stages of
negotiating an agreement, which if effected will have a substantial effect on
the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and
management. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to successfully implement its plans to raise additional capital on a timely
basis and the Company may have to cease operations, if the Company is unable to
raise such additional capital.
Note
2. Company Background and Description of Business
Sona
Mobile, Inc. (“Sona Mobile”) was formed under the laws of the State of
Washington in November 2003 for the purpose of acquiring Sona Innovations, Inc.
(“Innovations”), which it did in December 2003. On April 19, 2005,
Sona Mobile merged (the "Merger") with and into PerfectData Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PAC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
PerfectData Corporation, also a Delaware corporation
(“PerfectData”). Under the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated as of March 7, 2005, (i) PAC was the surviving company but
changed its name to Sona Mobile, Inc.; (ii) the pre-merger shareholders of Sona
Mobile received stock in PerfectData representing 80% of the voting power in PAC
post-merger; (iii) all of PerfectData’s officers resigned and Sona Mobile’s
pre-merger officers were appointed as the new officers of PerfectData; and (iv)
four of the five persons serving as directors of PerfectData resigned and the
remaining director appointed the three pre-merger directors of Sona Mobile to
the PerfectData Board of Directors. In November 2005, PerfectData
changed its name to “Sona Mobile Holdings Corp.”
At the
time of the Merger, PerfectData was essentially a shell company that was not
engaged in an active business. Upon completion of the Merger,
PerfectData’s only business was the historical business of Sona Mobile and the
pre-merger shareholders of Sona Mobile controlled
PerfectData. Accordingly, Sona Mobile was deemed the accounting
acquirer and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of a public
shell and a recapitalization of Sona Mobile. No goodwill was recorded
in connection with the Merger and the costs were accounted for as a reduction of
additional paid-in-capital. The pre-merger financial statements of
Sona Mobile are treated as the historical financial statements of the combined
companies and its historical stockholders’ equity was adjusted to reflect the
new capital structure.
The
Company is a software and service provider specializing in value-added services
to data-intensive vertical and horizontal market segments including the gaming
industry. The Company develops, markets and sells data application
software for gaming and mobile devices which enables secure execution of real
time transactions on a flexible platform over wired, cellular or Wi-Fi networks.
Our target customer base includes casinos, horse racing tracks and operators,
cruise ship operators and casino game manufacturers and suppliers on the gaming
side, and corporations that require secure transmissions of large amounts of
data in the enterprise and financial services verticals. Our revenues
consist of project, licensing and support fees generated by our flagship
products the Sona Gaming System™ (“SGS”) and the Sona Wireless Platform™
(‘‘SWP’’) and related vertical gaming and wireless application software
products. The Company operates as one business segment focused on the
development, sale and marketing of client-server application
software.
The
Company markets its software principally to two large vertical
markets.
|
•
|
Gaming and
entertainment. We propose to (i) deliver casino games via our SGS,
both wired and wirelessly in designated areas on casino properties; (ii)
offer real-time, multiplayer games that accommodate an unlimited number of
players; (iii) deliver games on a play-for-free or wagering basis (where
permitted by law) on mobile telephone handsets over any carrier network;
and (iv) deliver horse and sports wagering applications, where legal, for
race and sports books, as well as on-track and off-track wagering,
including live streaming video of horse races and other sports
events. We also propose to deliver content via channel partners and
content partners, including live streaming television, digital radio,
specific theme downloads for mobile phones, media downloads and gaming
applications.

Financial services and
enterprise software. The Company’s products and services
extend enterprise applications
to the wireless arena, such as customer relationship management systems,
sales force automation systems, information technology (IT) service desk
and business continuity protocols. One of the Company’s primary
focuses in this sales vertical is to develop software for the
data-intensive investment banking community and client-facing applications
for the retail banking industry.
|
The
Company’s revenues consist primarily of project, licensing and support fees
relating to our two platforms the Sona Gaming System™ and the Sona Wireless
Platform™.
In 2006,
in conjunction with the Company’s strategic alliance with Shuffle Master Inc.
(“Shuffle Master”) and because of the perceived opportunities for wireless and
server-based applications in the gaming and horse racing industries, the primary
sales and development focus of the Company was switched towards the gaming
industry. During 2007, the Company perceived that there was a
potentially far greater opportunity to develop and sell server-based gaming
applications that could be operated in both wired and wireless network
environments, or a combination thereof. The Company continues to
focus on the financial services and enterprise market sectors for products,
customers and verticals where success has previously been experienced or where
significant opportunities are perceived to exist.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included
in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2007.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sona
Mobile Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for
complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
in this quarterly report reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation of its financial position at the dates presented and the Company’s
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company’s
interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the entire year. All material inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
141 (R), “Business Combinations”, and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to
measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquire at their fair
values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the
net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be
based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141 (R) and SFAS
No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. Early
adoption
is prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect on our consolidated
financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) or SFAS No.
160.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No.
133". SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures
to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No.
161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
(a) Principles of
consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sona Mobile and Sona Mobile’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Innovations. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents are comprised of cash and term deposits with original maturity
dates of less than 90 days. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at
cost, which approximates market value, and are concentrated in three major
financial institutions.
(c) Foreign
currency translation
The
functional currency is the U.S. dollar as that is the currency in which the
Company primarily generates revenue and expends cash. In accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
52, "Foreign Currency Translation," assets and liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency have been translated at the period end rate of
exchange. Revenue and expense items have been translated at the
transaction date rate. For Innovations, which uses its local currency
(Canadian dollar) as the functional currency, the resulting translation
adjustments are included in other comprehensive income, as the Company is a
foreign self-sustaining operation. Other gains or losses resulting
from foreign exchange transactions are reflected in earnings.
(d) Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of three to five
years.
(e) Use
of estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed
periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings
in the period in which they become known.
(f) Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting
for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are computed periodically for differences between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the
future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which
the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision is the tax
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
On
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions
of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48
prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax
return. FIN 48 also provides guidance related to, among other things,
classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax
positions, and disclosure requirements.
The
Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax
asset and has not recognized any benefits from tax positions in
earnings. Accordingly, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact
on the financial statements for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and
2007.
The
Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes on
the financial statements of future periods in which the Company must record an
income tax liability. Since the Company did not record a liability at
June 30, 2008, there was no impact to the effective tax rate. The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several
state jurisdictions, as well as in Canada and the Ontario provincial tax
jurisdiction. The Company does not believe there will be any material
changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
The
Company has applied for Scientific Research and Development Tax credits, as part
of the annual Canadian federal and provincial income tax filings. The
federal tax credits are non-refundable and as the Company has a full provision
against any future benefits from its historical tax losses, a tax receivable
amount for federal research tax credits is not recognized on the balance
sheet. Ontario provincial tax credits for valid research and development
expenditures, if granted, are refundable to the Company. The amount of tax
credit that will be awarded to the Company upon assessment of the returns by
this tax jurisdiction is not always certain at the time the tax returns are
filed. As such, it is the Company’s policy to book a receivable for
these amounts on the balance sheet only when the final tax assessment is
received by the Company after the filing of such returns. As of June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, the balances for tax credits receivable on the
balance sheet were nil and $51,220, respectively, which related to Ontario
research and development tax credits assessed, but not received, as of the
respective financial statement dates.
(g) Revenue
recognition
The
Company follows specific and detailed guidance in measuring revenue, although
certain judgments affect the application of our revenue recognition
policy. These judgments include, for example, the determination of a
customer’s creditworthiness, whether two separate transactions with a customer
should be accounted for as a single transaction, or whether included services
are essential to the functionality of a product thereby requiring percentage of
completion accounting rather than software accounting.
The
Company derives revenue from license and service fees related to customization
and implementation of the software being licensed. License fees are
recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software
Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and in certain
instances in accordance with SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” The Company
licenses software under non-cancelable license
agreements. License
fee revenues are recognized when (a) a non-cancelable license agreement is in
force, (b) the product has been delivered, (c) the license fee is fixed or
determinable and (d) collection is reasonably assured. If the fee is
not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the
customer.
Residual
Method Accounting. In software arrangements that include
multiple elements (e.g., license rights and technical support services), total
fees are allocated among each of the elements using the “residual” method of
accounting. Under this method, revenue allocated to undelivered
elements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of such
undelivered elements, and the residual revenue is allocated to the delivered
elements. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for such
undelivered elements is based upon the price charged for such product or service
when it is sold separately. The Company’s pricing practices may be
modified in the future, which would result in changes to our vendor
specific objective evidence. As a result,
future
revenue associated with multiple element arrangements could differ significantly
from our historical results.
Percentage
of Completion Accounting. Fees from licenses sold together
with consulting services are generally recognized upon shipment of the licenses,
provided (i) the criteria described in subparagraphs (a) through (d) in the
second paragraph under “Revenue Recognition” above are met; (ii) payment of the
license fee is not dependent upon performance of the consulting services; and
(iii) the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the
licensed software. If the services are essential to the functionality
of the software, or performance of services is a condition to payment of license
fees, both the software license and consulting fees are recognized under the
“percentage of completion” method of contract accounting. Under this
method, management is required to estimate the number of total hours needed to
complete a project, and revenues and profits are recognized based on the
percentage of total contract hours as they are completed. Due to the
complexity involved in the estimating process, revenues and profits recognized
under the percentage of completion method of accounting are subject to revision
as contract phases are actually completed. Historically, these
revisions have not been material.
Sublicense
Revenues. Sublicense fees
are recognized as reported by our licensees. License fees for certain
application development and data access tools are recognized upon direct
shipment from the Company to the end user or upon direct shipment to the
reseller for resale to the end user. If collection is not reasonably
assured in advance, revenue is recognized only when sublicense fees are actually
collected.
Service
Revenues. Technical support revenues are recognized ratably
over the term of the related support agreement, which in most cases is one
year. Revenues from consulting services subjected to time and
materials contracts, including training, are recognized as services are
performed. Revenues from other contract services are generally
recognized based on the proportional performance of the project, with
performance measured based on hours of work performed.
(h) Research
and software development costs
The
Company incurs costs on activities that relate to research and the development
of new software products. Research costs are expensed as they are
incurred. Costs are reduced by tax credits where
applicable. Software development costs to establish the technological
feasibility of software applications developed by the Company are charged to
expense as incurred. In accordance with SFAS 86, certain costs
incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility are
capitalized. Accordingly, a portion of the internal labor costs and
external consulting costs associated with essential wireless software
development and enhancement activities are capitalized. Costs
associated with conceptual design and feasibility assessments as well as
maintenance and routine changes are expensed as incurred. Capitalized
costs are amortized based on current or future revenue for each product with an
annual minimum equal to the straight-line basis of amortization over the
estimated economic lives of the applications, not to exceed five
years. The software development costs which were previously
capitalized by the Company, substantially related to the development of the
wireless gaming system. Gross software development costs for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007 were $530,454 and $611,405,
respectively. Gross software development costs for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, and 2007 were $1,212,557 and $1,233,998,
respectively. Capitalized software development costs are periodically
evaluated for impairment. During the quarter June 30, 2008 the
Company wrote down the remaining balance of the capitalized software development
costs to nil. The Company’s initial expectations were that the
wireless gaming system would begin to generate revenues by March
2008. As the Company has not recognized significant and expected
revenues to date from the wireless gaming system, the Company has determined
that the capitalized software development costs were subject to impairment and
as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of June 30,
2008. The impairment charge of $432,656 is classified as a component
of other income and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and
comprehensive loss.
(i) Stock-based
compensation
As of
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounts for
stock-based compensation in accordance with, FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 - revised 2004 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment”
which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”),
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the fair value
recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based
compensation
cost is
measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is
recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected the
modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for
comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to
new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are
subsequently modified. Estimated compensation for grants that were
outstanding as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining
service period using the compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma
disclosures, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures.
During the six month periods ended June
30, 2008, the Company issued stock options to directors and employees under
the 2006 Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”)
as described in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements. The
fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
(j) Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to
the current year’s presentation.
(k) Derivatives
The
Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”) along with related
interpretations EITF No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”)
and EITF No. 05-2 “The Meaning of ‘Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in
Issue No. 00-19” (EITF 05-2). SFAS No. 133 requires every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) to be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value, with changes in the derivative’s fair value
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. The Company values these derivative securities under the fair
value method at the end of each reporting period, and their value is marked to
market with the gain or loss recognition recorded against
earnings. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to
determine fair value. Key assumptions of the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model include applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest
rates and the instrument’s expected remaining life. These assumptions
require significant management judgment. At June 30, 2008 and at
December 31, 2007, there were no derivative instruments reported on the
Company’s balance sheet.
Note
4. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Receivables
arising from sales to customers are not collateralized and, as a result,
management continually monitors the financial condition of its customers to
reduce the risk of loss. Customer account balances with invoices dated over 90
days are considered delinquent. The Company maintains reserves for
potential credit losses based upon its loss history, its aging analysis and
specific account review. After all attempts to collect a receivable
have failed, the receivable is written off against the
allowance. Such losses have been within management's
expectations. The Company has some exposure to a concentration of
credit risk as it relates to specific industry verticals, as historically its
customers have been primarily concentrated in the financial services industry
and the current customer focus is in the gaming industry. Since
revenues are derived in large part from single projects, the Company bears some
credit risk due to a high concentration of revenues from individual
customers. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, 84.8% of
total revenues were generated from two customers that individually represented
over 10% of total revenue each (Customer A – 73.6%, Customer B –
11.3%). During the three months ended June 30, 2007, 93.2%
of total revenues were generated from three customers representing over 10%
of total revenue (Customer C – 31.3%, Customer D – 44.9%, Customer E –
17.0%). During the six months ended June 30, 2008, 66.8%
of total revenues were generated from one customer representing over 10% of
total revenue (Customer A – 66.8%). During the six months ended June
30, 2007, 91.1% of total revenues were generated from four customers
representing over 10% of total revenue (Customer A – 27.8%, Customer C – 23.4%,
Customer D – 28.9%, Customer E – 11.0%).
We had a
balance of $44,185 and $52,175 in our Allowance for Doubtful Accounts provision
as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. This
balance consists of provisions made in previous and current
quarters. There
was a total of $7,000 of accounts receivable write-offs against the provision
during the three months ended June 30, 2008. There were no write-offs
for the comparative quarter of 2007.
Note
5. Stockholders’ Equity
In
January 2006, the Company sold 2,307,693 shares of common stock and a warrant to
purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to Shuffle Master for $3.0
million. This warrant had an exercise price of $2.025 per share which
expired on July 12, 2007 without being exercised. Using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the warrant was valued at $1,335,600 using a
volatility of 65%, a term of 18 months, an expected dividend yield of 0% and a
risk-free interest rate of 4.4%. This amount was reclassified from
Common Stock purchase warrants to Additional Paid-in Capital upon expiration of
the warrants in the third quarter of 2007. In addition, during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, convertible debt was issued with accompanying
warrants. The accompanying warrants and the beneficial conversion
feature of the convertible debt were accounted for as equity. See
Note 11.
Note
6. Earnings per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that shared in the earnings of the entity.
The
calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, did not include shares of the Company’s
common stock issuable upon the exercise of options, shares issuable upon
exercise of common stock warrants, nor shares issuable upon the conversion of
the convertible notes, as their inclusion in the calculation would be
anti-dilutive. The number of options and warrants outstanding as of June 30,
2008 and 2007 are illustrated in the table below, as well as the number of
shares underlying the convertible notes.

7. Contractual Obligations and Long-Term Liability
The
Company leases office space in Toronto, Ontario and Boulder, Colorado which run
to February 2012 and September 2010 respectively. The Company is
currently leasing space in New York, New York on a short-term basis under a
lease which expires in September 2008, for its corporate
headquarters. In addition, in 2007 we leased approximately 1,000
square feet in Las Vegas, Nevada, for our corporate apartment which was leased
on an annual basis until February 2008, at a monthly rent of approximately
$2,000. Our frequent trips to Las Vegas made this lease a cost effective way to
house our employees during business trips for meetings with our partner Shuffle
Master and in connection with GLI certification of our wireless gaming
solution. This lease was not renewed when it expired at the end of
February 2008. In April 2008, the Company opened a small sales office
in Las Vegas, Nevada under a short-term lease which runs to September
2008. The Company intends to renew its Las Vegas lease on
substantially the same terms on a short-term basis when the current lease
agreement expires. Office lease expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $94,565 and $101,636, respectively. Office lease expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $208,312 and $212,532,
respectively.
The
Company also leases office and computer equipment. These leases have
been classified as operating leases. Office and computer equipment
lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
were
$38,888
and $48,581, respectively. Office and computer equipment lease
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $78,830 and
$76,753, respectively.
During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company completed a private placement of
8.0% convertible notes (the “2007 Notes”) with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants
which had gross proceeds of $3.0 million. The 2007 Notes have a face
value of $3 million, are due on November 28, 2010, and are convertible into
6,666,667 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share
(assuming interest is paid in cash). The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of
8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and
October with such interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a
combination thereof. Payment of interest in shares of common stock is
subject to certain conditions being met including the existence of a
registration statement which has been declared effective by the SEC and which
covers the required number of interest shares.
Contractual
obligations and payments relating to the Company’s long-term liability in future

Note
8. Financial Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and convertible notes. The reported book
value of all current asset and current liability financial instruments
approximates fair values, due to their short term nature. The
convertible notes were recorded at the time of issuance at their estimated fair
market value and the difference between the estimated fair market value at the
time of issuance and the face value of $3 million (i.e. the debt discount) is
being amortized over the three year term to maturity of the
notes. See Note 11.
The
Company is subject to credit risk with respect to its accounts receivable to the
extent that debtors do not meet their obligations. The Company
monitors the age of its accounts receivable and may delay development or
terminate information fees if debtors do not meet payment terms.
The
Company is subject to foreign currency risk with respect to financial
instruments denominated in a foreign currency. As of June 30, 2008,
approximately 7.5% of the Company’s assets and 6.0% of its liabilities were
denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros and exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations.

10. Deferred Revenues
Deferred
revenue occurs where the Company invoices customers for project work that has
not been completed at the balance sheet date. The Company’s deferred
revenue balance as of June 30, 2008 was $162,211. The Company’s
deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2007 was $55,795.
Note
11. Long Term Debt
On
November 28, 2007 (the “Issue Date”), the Company completed a private placement
of 8.0% convertible notes (the “2007 Notes”) with 3,333,333 accompanying
warrants (the “2007 Warrants”) which had gross proceeds of $3.0
million. The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on
November 28, 2010, and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock at
a conversion price of $0.45 per share (assuming interest is paid in
cash). The 2007 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per share
and expire five years from the Issue Date.
The 2007
Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first
of January, April, July, and October with such interest payable in cash, shares
of common stock or a combination thereof. Payment of interest in
shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions being met including the
existence of a registration statement which has been declared effective by the
SEC and which covers the required number of interest shares. A total
of 2,133,333 shares have been included on the registration statement relating to
the payment of interest in shares instead of cash. As per the
purchase agreement which governs the November 2007 private placement, this is
the required minimum to be registered for interest shares and is calculated as
the total interest payable over the three year term of the notes divided by 75%
of the current conversion price of $0.45 per share as follows:
($3,000,000
x 8% x 3 years) / (75% x $0.45/share) = 2,133,333 registrable
shares
In
addition to the interest shares, 6,666,667 shares relating to the common stock
underlying the 2007 Notes and 3,333,333 shares relating to the common stock
underlying the 2007 Warrants have also been registered, for a total of
12,133,333 registrable shares.
The 2007
Notes are convertible under any of the following circumstances, subject to the
provision that the stockholders’ beneficial ownership percentage cannot exceed
4.99% after such conversion:
|
·
|
during
any period after the Issue Date, (i) the daily volume weighted average
price per share of common stock of the Company for at least 20 out of any
30 consecutive trading days, which period shall have commenced only after
the Issue Date (the “Threshold Period”), exceeds $0.90 (subject to
adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock
combinations and other similar transactions of the common stock of the
Company that occurs after the Issue Date), (ii) for at least 20 trading
days during the applicable Threshold Period, the daily trading volume for
the common stock of the Company on the trading market of the Company
exceeds $100,000 per trading day and (iii) all of the Equity Conditions
(as defined in the 2007 Notes) are met (unless waived by a holder) for the
applicable time period set forth in the 2007 Notes;
|
|
·
|
any
time after the Issue Date in whole or part, at the option of the holder,
at any time and from time to time until such 2007 Note is no longer
outstanding.
|
The
conversion price of the 2007 Notes is $0.45 per share and is subject to downward
adjustment in the event of the issuance by the Company of any common stock or
Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the 2007 Notes agreement) at a price per
share less than the then applicable conversion price of the 2007
Notes. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment
upon the occurrence of certain enumerated events.
The 2007
Warrants were exercisable immediately as of the Issue Date and for a period of
five years from the Issue Date at an exercise price of $0.50 per
share. The Black-Scholes valuation model was used to estimate the
fair value of these warrants using the following
assumptions: volatility of 55%, term and expected life of five years,
risk free interest rate of 3.40%, market value at the time of issuance of
underlying common stock of $0.395, and a zero dividend rate. The
Company determined the estimated fair value of the warrants to be
$582,664.
The 2007
Notes have been accounted for as long term debt, net of a debt discount
consisting of the allocated value of the warrants and a beneficial conversion
feature. The embedded conversion feature has been deemed to be a
beneficial conversion feature pursuant to EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible
Securities with beneficial Conversion feature or Contingently Adjustable
Conversion Ratio, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments. These standards require that
the fair value of the conversion feature of the instrument be treated as a debt
discount against the liability portion of the note. This beneficial
conversion feature is calculated by computing the intrinsic value between the
effective conversion price and fair value of common stock on the Issue Date. The
effective conversion price is based on the allocation of the relative values of
the 2007 Notes and the 2007 Warrants on a relative fair value
basis. The debt discount resulting from the beneficial conversion
feature was determined to be $159,629. The allocated fair value of
the 2007 Warrants was determined to be $526,296, which was also recorded as a
debt discount. The Company is amortizing the combined debt discount
of $685,925 over the term of the 2007 Notes on a straight-line basis, which
approximates the effective interest method. The amortization of the
debt discount is being recorded as additional interest expense.
Total
interest expense related to the 2007 Notes, including amortization of debt
discount, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, is $234,320, which consisted
of $120,000 in interest paid or accrued during the six month period ended June
30, 2008, as well as $114,320 relating to the amortization of the debt
discount.
There was
$324,184 of debt issuance costs including placement agent fees and legal
expenses. These costs have been capitalized as an asset and are being
amortized over the three year term of the 2007 Notes. During the six
month period ended June 30, 2008, amortization of these costs in the amount of
$54,031 resulted in net reported debt issuance costs of $261,148 as of June 30,
2008. Debt issuance cost at December 31, 2007 was
$315,179
As of
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amounts on the Company’s balance sheet
for the long term convertible debt were $2,449,354 and $2,335,034,
respectively.
Note
12. Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and
reporting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary
differences between the financial
statement
and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable
to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax
expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change
during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,”
on January 1, 2007. As the Company has a valuation allowance against the
full amount of its net deferred tax asset, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have
an impact on the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The Company does not expect FIN 48 to have an impact on the financial
statements during fiscal year 2008.
At the
adoption date, the Company applied FIN 48 to all tax positions for which the
statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the
implementation of FIN 48 there were no unrecognized tax benefits and,
accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company’s financial condition or
result of operations.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various
state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each
jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related taxes laws and
regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company is
no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations for years before 2004,
and Canadian federal and provincial tax examination for years before 2004.
Management does not believe there will be any material changes in the Company’s
unrecognized tax position over the next 12 months.
The
Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in
interest expense and penalties in operating expenses for all periods
presented. There was no accrued interest or penalties associated with
any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the six months ended June 30,
2007.
Note
13. Note Payable - Related Party Transactions and
Borrowings
On May
28, 2008, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Financing Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Shawn Kreloff, Chairman and CEO, and his wife, Victoria Corn
(the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor is willing to lend the Company
up to $1,000,000 by one or two instalments under unsecured promissory notes that
would be convertible into a subsequent financing by the Company. Each
unsecured promissory note would mature in 90 days from the date of issuance of
each Note at the rate of 8% per annum accruing from the date of issuance.
The intent of the Agreement when signed was that it would likely be rolled in to
any subsequent financing entered in to by the Company on an arms-length basis
and thus no repayment upon maturity would be required. There has been no
subsequent financing and the current negotiations pertaining to an agreement
would not be such that there would be a vehicle for the bridge financing to roll
into. This promissory note is subordinated to the 2007 Notes which are not
due until November 2010, and as such the Company does not expect to repay the
Note until at least 90 days after the 2007 Notes mature in November 2010.
For this reason, the Company has not classified the promissory note as a Current
Liability on the balance sheet.
On June
17, 2008, Investor funded the $471,750 and was issued a Bridge Loan Note (“Note
1”) for said amount pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The
entire indebtedness due pursuant to the Note 1 shall be all due and payable
within ninety (90) days from the date of Note 1. There is no timing
commitment as to the remaining amount under the Bridge Loan Financing
Agreement. The Company believes the commitment for the remaining amount
remains valid, although Shawn Kreloff, who was placed on administrative leave on
July 16, 2008, has advised the Company that he does not believe he is required
to fund the remaining amount.
Note
14. Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company’s 2006 Incentive Plan, which is stockholder approved, permits the grant
of options, restricted stock, and other stock awards, to its directors,
officers, and employees for up to 7 million shares of common stock, in addition
to the options already issued under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan
of
2000. The
Company believes such awards align the interest of its directors, officers, and
employees with those of its shareholders and encourage directors, officers, and
employees to act as equity owners of the Company. Prior to the
adoption of the 2006 Plan, the Company had an Amended and Restated Stock Option
Plan of 2000, which was terminated with respect to future grants effective upon
the stockholder’s approval of the 2006 Plan in September 2006.
Stock
Options
Options
awards are granted with exercise price equal to, or in excess of, market value
at the date of grant. Accordingly, in accordance with SFAS 123R and
related interpretations, compensation expense is recognized for the stock option
grants. The options become exercisable on a prorated basis over a one
to four year vesting period, and expire within 10 year after the grant
date.
SFAS 123R
requires the cash flow from tax benefits for deductions in excess of the
compensation costs recognized for share-base payments awards to be classified as
financing cash flows. Due to the Company’s loss position, there was
no such tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007.
The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes
valuation model, consistent with the provision of SFAS 123R. Key
inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include
the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the
Company’s stock, the risk-free interest rate as of the date of the grant and the
Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to
predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who
receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the
reasonableness of the original estimate of fair value made by the
Company. The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated at
the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used for options
granted:

The total
fair value of stock options that vested during the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007 was $93,642 and $84,426, respectively. The total fair
value of stock options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007 was $188,671 and $183,751. The aggregate intrinsic value of
options outstanding,
options
vested and expected to vest, and options exercisable as of June 30, 2008 was
nil, nil, and nil respectively. All of the options outstanding had
exercise prices greater than the market price on June 30,
2008. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference
between the market price on exercise date and the exercise price of the
shares. The closing market price as of June 30, 2008 was $0.067 as
reported on the OTC Bulletin Board.

unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be realized over a weighted
average period of 1.5 years.
Restricted
Stock Awards
During
the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company accrued for 163,746 shares of
restricted stock issuable to consultants as payment for work performed during
the second quarter of fiscal 2008. These shares were issued in August
2008.
Compensation
expense recognized for the amortization of stock-based compensation related to
restricted stock was $5,833 and $33,230, respectively for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Note
15. Geographic Information
As
described above in Note 2, the Company primarily markets its products and
services to two different sales verticals. However, management has
determined that the Company operates as one business segment which focuses on
the development, sale and marketing of wireless application
software. The Company currently maintains development, sales and
marketing operations in the United States and Canada. The following
table shows revenues by geographic segment for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Note
16. Other Income and Expense
Other
income and expenses include miscellaneous items such as foreign currency
transaction exchange gains or losses and nonrecurring transactions such as gains
or losses from the revaluation of derivatives and related
instruments. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income and
expense consisted of a write down of $432,656 for the remaining balance of the
capitalized software development costs to nil. As the Company has not
recognized any net revenues to date from the wireless gaming system, the Company
has determined that the capitalized software development costs were subject to
impairment and as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of
June 30, 2008. The remaining balance of other income and expenses
consisted of foreign currency transaction exchange losses in the
amount of $7,002. Comparatively, during the six months ended June 30,
2007, other income and expense consisted entirely of a foreign currency
transaction exchange losses in the amount of $9,631.
Item
2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes included elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in
this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. See “Forward Looking Statements” on page 3
of this report. Because this discussion involves risk and
uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements.
Our
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report have been
prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Since our
inception in November 2003, we have generated minimal revenue, have incurred net
losses and have not generated positive cash flow from operations. We
have relied primarily on the sale of shares of equity and convertible debt to
fund our operations. In addition, our cash reserves are only
sufficient to fund our current level of operating expenses until prior to the
end of August 2008. Based on our current business plans, we will be
obligated to seek additional financing before that time. Such
financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate
funds are not available when required or on acceptable terms, we may be unable
to continue our operations as planned, or at all. In view of our continuing
losses, our auditors in their report on our December 31, 2007 consolidated
financial statements have stated that these continuing losses raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company
has been actively pursuing potential financing or other transaction options for
the Company to raise additional funds. The Company is in the final stages
of negotiating an agreement, which if effected will have a substantial effect on
the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and
management.
Business Overview
We are a
software and service provider that specializes in value-added applications to
data-intensive vertical and horizontal market segments including the gaming
industry. Through our subsidiaries, we develop, market and sell data application
software for gaming and mobile devices which enables secure execution of real
time transactions on a flexible platform over wired, cellular or Wi-Fi networks.
Our target customer base includes casinos, horse racing tracks and operators,
cruise ship operators and casino game manufacturers and suppliers on the gaming
side, and corporations that require secure transmissions of large amounts of
data in the enterprise and financial services verticals. Our revenues consist of
project, licensing and support fees generated by our flagship products the Sona
Gaming System™ (“SGS”) and the Sona Wireless Platform™
(‘‘SWP’’) and related vertical gaming and wireless application software
products. We operate as one business segment focused on the development, sale
and marketing of client-server application software. We market our
software principally to two large vertical markets:
|
•
|
Gaming and
entertainment. We propose to
(i) deliver casino games via our SGS, both wired and wirelessly in
designated areas on casino properties; (ii) offer real-time, multiplayer
games that accommodate an unlimited number of players; (iii) deliver games
on a play-for-free or wagering basis (where permitted by law) on mobile
telephone handsets over any carrier network; and (iv) deliver horse and
sports wagering applications, where legal, for race and sports books, as
well as on-track and off-track wagering, including live streaming video of
horse races and other sports events. We also propose to deliver
content via channel partners and content partners, including live
streaming television, digital radio, specific theme downloads for mobile
phones, media downloads and gaming
applications.
|
|
•
|
Financial services and
enterprise software. Our products and services extend
enterprise applications to the wireless arena, such as customer
relationship management systems, sales force automation
systems, information technology (IT) service desk and business
continuity protocols. One of our primary focuses in this sales vertical is
to develop software for the data-intensive investment banking community
and client-facing applications for the retail banking
industry.
|
Since
December 2003, we have focused on two areas: (1) further developing and
enhancing our software platforms and developing an array of products for the
gaming, entertainment, financial services, and general corporate market that
leverage the functionality of our software platforms and (2) developing a sales
strategy that would develop relationships with software manufacturers,
multi-service operators, wireless carriers and direct
customers.
In 2006,
in conjunction with our strategic alliance with Shuffle Master and because of
the perceived opportunities for wireless server-based applications in the gaming
and horse racing industries, we switched our primary sales and development focus
towards the gaming industry. During 2007, we perceived that there was
a potentially far greater opportunity to develop and sell server-based gaming
applications that could be operated in both wired and wireless network
environments or a combination thereof. We continue to focus on the
financial services and enterprise market sectors for products, customers and
verticals where we have previously experienced success or where we perceive
significant opportunities to exist.
Business
Trends
We
believe that there will be a trend in the gaming industry away from single,
standalone electronic games on the casino floor towards server based gaming
consoles, touch screens and kiosks which can play multiple games and can
primarily be centrally serviced by a network or IT manager, as the cost of such
multi-game client devices is a fraction of the cost of most of the currently
available single, standalone electronic games currently in existence on the
casino floor. In the financial and enterprise space, the market
demand for mobile and wireless solutions, both at the enterprise and consumer
levels, continues to grow rapidly. We believe that we are
well-positioned to exploit this opportunity with various focused initiatives,
ranging from direct and channel sales to the enterprise market, combined with
partnership and joint venture agreements with content providers to satisfy the
significant growth in demand from the consumer market for these types of
services.
Approximately
83% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted from
development fees for project work and approximately 17% from continuing license
subscriptions. During the comparative six months ended June 30, 2007,
91% of revenue resulted from project work and 9% from continuing
subscriptions. Much of our project work is attributable to new
engagements for which we received development fees. We believe that
the ratio will move toward continuing license subscription revenue, as we
transition from focusing on custom projects in the financial services and
enterprise segment and move towards longer term licensing contracts in the
gaming industry and from perceived opportunities in the horse race and sports
wagering industry. In the six month period ended June 30, 2008,
approximately 27% of our revenue was derived from the sale of our financial
services and enterprise products, while approximately 73% was derived from our
gaming and horse racing products. In the prior comparative quarter,
approximately 72% of our revenue was derived from the sale of our financial
services and enterprise products, while approximately 28% was derived from our
gaming and horse racing products. Now that some of our products are
commercially available and as new leads are generated, we anticipate that
business opportunities will emerge within the gaming and horse racing
industry. However, we cannot assure you that any such business
opportunities will emerge, or if they do, that any such opportunity will result
in a definitive arrangement with any enterprises in the gaming industry, or that
any such definitive arrangement will be profitable.
Significant
Transactions
On
November 28, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 8.0% convertible
notes with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants for gross proceeds of $3
million. The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on
November 28, 2010 and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock
(assuming interest is paid in cash) at a conversion price of $0.45 per
share. The 2007 Warrants are common stock purchase warrants to
purchase 3,333,333 shares of common stock. The 2007 Warrants have an
exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire five years from the issue
date. The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum,
payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and October with such
interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a combination
thereof. Payment of interest in shares of common stock is subject to
certain conditions being met including the existence of a registration statement
which has been declared effective by the SEC and which covers the required
number of interest shares.
On July
7, 2006, we closed a private placement to accredited investors whereby we sold
16,943,323 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 8,471,657 shares of
common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $10.1 million before payment of
commissions and expenses. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.83 per
share, subject to downward adjustment if the Company does not meet specified
annual revenue targets, and are exercisable at any time during the period
commencing July 7, 2006, and ending July 7, 2011. The funds from the
financing will primarily be used for general working capital
purposes. As a result of the Company not meeting the specified
revenue targets for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007, the exercise price of the
warrants was adjusted downwards to an exercise price of $0.70 per share at the
end of fiscal 2006 and was
readjusted
to an exercise price of $0.40 per share at the end of fiscal 2007. We
used $300,000 of the funds raised to repurchase 650,000 shares of common stock
from our former chief executive officer, John Bush.
On April
28, 2006, we purchased certain intellectual property assets from Digital Wasabi
LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Digital Wasabi”). The
purchase price was 800,000 shares of our common stock. The assets
consist of intellectual property in the form of software under development
related to communications and gaming. The principals and employees of
Digital Wasabi became our employees and are based in our Boulder, Colorado
office. While we believe this purchased technology will have
significant future value, the software does not meet the criteria for
capitalization as prescribed by SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS 86”)
and as such was written off in the quarter of acquisition.
In
January 2006, we entered into a strategic alliance distribution and licensing
agreement with Shuffle Master, a leading provider of table gaming content, to
license, develop, distribute and market “in casino” wireless handheld gaming
content and delivery systems to gaming venues throughout the
world. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to develop a
Shuffle Master-branded wireless gaming platform powered by our SWP for in-casino
use, which would feature handheld versions of Shuffle Master’s proprietary table
game content, as well as other proprietary gaming content and public domain
casino games. In conjunction with this strategic alliance, Shuffle
Master invested $3 million in the Company, in exchange for common stock and
warrants to purchase common stock in our Company pursuant to the Licensing and
Distribution Agreement, dated January 12, 2006 between the Company and Shuffle
Master, ( the “Licensing and Distribution Agreement”). This Licensing
and Distribution Agreement was amended and restated in February
2007. Under the terms of the amended Licensing and Distribution
Agreement, both the Company and Shuffle Master are permitted to distribute
market and sell the wireless version of the SGS to gaming venues
worldwide. Additionally, we have been granted a non-exclusive
worldwide license to offer Shuffle Master's proprietary table game content
on the platform, and the Company has granted Shuffle Master a non-exclusive
worldwide license to certain Company developed wireless platform software and
enhancements that support the integration and mobilization of casino gaming
applications into in-casino wireless gaming delivery systems. Shuffle
Master beneficially owns 8.19% of our common stock.
Corporate
History
Sona
Mobile, Inc. (“Sona Mobile”) was formed under the laws of the State of
Washington in November 2003, for the purpose of acquiring Sona Innovations, Inc.
(“Innovations”), which it did in December 2003. On April 19, 2005,
Sona Mobile merged (the "Merger") with and into PerfectData Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PAC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
PerfectData Corporation, also a Delaware corporation
(“PerfectData”). Under the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated as of March 7, 2005, (i) PAC was the surviving company but
changed its name to Sona Mobile, Inc.; (ii) the pre-merger shareholders of Sona
Mobile received stock in PerfectData representing 80% of the voting power in PAC
post-merger; (iii) all of PerfectData’s officers resigned and Sona Mobile’s
pre-merger officers were appointed as the new officers of PerfectData; and (iv)
four of the five persons serving as directors of PerfectData resigned and the
remaining director appointed the three pre-merger directors of Sona Mobile to
the PerfectData Board of Directors. In November 2005, PerfectData
changed its name to “Sona Mobile Holdings Corp.”
At the
time of the Merger, PerfectData was essentially a shell company that was not
engaged in an active business. Upon completion of the Merger,
PerfectData’s only business was the historical business of Sona Mobile and the
pre-merger shareholders of Sona Mobile controlled
PerfectData. Accordingly, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition of a public shell and a recapitalization of Sona
Mobile. No goodwill was recorded in connection with the Merger and
the costs were accounted for as a reduction of additional
paid-in-capital. The pre-merger financial statements of Sona Mobile
are treated as the historical financial statements of the combined
companies. The historical financial statements of PerfectData prior
to the Merger are not presented. Furthermore, because Sona Mobile is
deemed the accounting acquirer, its historical stockholders’ equity has been
adjusted to reflect the new capital structure.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principally
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These
accounting principles require management to make estimates and
assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of its financial
statements. Management is also required to make certain judgments
that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting
period. Management periodically evaluates these estimates and
assumptions including those relating to revenue recognition, impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized
software, income taxes, stock-based compensation and contingencies and
litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience
and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable based on
specific circumstances. Management reviews the development,
selection, and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our
Board of Directors. These estimates and assumptions form the basis
for judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could
differ from these estimates. Further, changes in accounting and legal
standards could adversely affect our future operating results. Our
critical accounting policies include: revenue recognition, allowance for
doubtful accounts, capitalized software, income taxes, stock-based compensation,
and derivatives, each of which are discussed below.
Revenue
Recognition
We follow
specific and detailed guidance in measuring revenue, although certain judgments
affect the application of our revenue recognition policy. These
judgments include, for example, the determination of a customer’s
creditworthiness, whether two separate transactions with a customer should be
accounted for as a single transaction, or whether included services are
essential to the functionality of a product thereby requiring percentage of
completion accounting rather than software accounting.
We
recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,
“Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and in
certain instances in accordance with SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” We license
software under non-cancelable license agreements. License fee
revenues are recognized when (a) a non-cancelable license agreement is in force,
(b) the product has been delivered, (c) the license fee is fixed or determinable
and (d) collection is reasonably assured. If the fee is not fixed or
determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the
customer.
Residual
Method Accounting. In software arrangements that include
multiple elements (e.g., license rights and technical support services), we
allocate the total fees among each of the elements using the “residual” method
of accounting. Under this method, revenue allocated to undelivered
elements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of such
undelivered elements, and the residual revenue is allocated to the delivered
elements. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for such
undelivered elements is based upon the price we charge for such product or
service when it is sold separately. We may modify our pricing
practices in the future, which would result in changes to our vendor specific
objective evidence. As a result, future revenue associated with
multiple element arrangements could differ significantly from our historical
results.
Percentage
of Completion Accounting. Fees from licenses sold together
with consulting services are generally recognized upon shipment of the licenses,
provided (i) the criteria described in subparagraphs (a) through (d) in the
second paragraph under “Revenue Recognition” above are met; (ii) payment of the
license fee is not dependent upon performance of the consulting services; and
(iii) the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the
licensed software. If the services are essential to the functionality
of the software, or performance of services is a condition to payment of license
fees, both the software license and consulting fees are recognized under the
“percentage of completion” method of contract accounting. Under this
method, we are required to estimate the number of total hours needed to complete
a project, and revenues and profits are recognized based on the percentage of
total contract hours as they are completed. Due to the complexity
involved in the estimating process, revenues and profits recognized under the
percentage of completion method of accounting are subject to revision as
contract phases are actually completed. Historically, these revisions
have not been material.
Sublicense
Revenues. We recognize
sublicense fees as reported by our licensees. License fees for
certain application development and data access tools are recognized upon direct
shipment by us to the end user or upon direct shipment to the reseller for
resale to the end user. If collection is not reasonably assured in
advance, revenue is recognized only when sublicense fees are actually
collected.
Service
Revenues. Technical support revenues
are recognized ratably over the term of the related support agreement, which in
most cases is one year. Revenues from consulting services subjected
to time and materials contracts, including training, are recognized as services
are performed. Revenues from other contract services are generally
recognized based on the proportional performance of the project, with
performance measured based on hours of work performed.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Whenever
relevant, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected
non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and
specific risks identified in our portfolio of receivables. Additional
allowances might be required if deteriorating economic conditions or other
factors affect our customers’ ability to make timely payments.
Capitalized
Software Development Costs
We
capitalize certain software development costs after a product becomes
technologically feasible and before its general release to
customers. Significant judgment is required in determining when a
product becomes “technologically feasible.” Capitalized development
costs are then amortized over the product’s estimated life beginning upon
general release of the product. Periodically, we compare a product’s
unamortized capitalized cost to the product’s net realizable
value. To the extent unamortized capitalized cost exceeds net
realizable value based on the product’s estimated future gross revenues (reduced
by the estimated future costs of completing and selling the product) the excess
is written off. This analysis requires us to estimate future gross
revenues associated with certain products and the future costs of completing and
selling certain products. Changes in these estimates could result in
write-offs of capitalized software costs. The software development
costs which we had previously capitalized, substantially related to the
development of the wireless gaming system. Capitalized software
development costs are periodically evaluated for impairment. During
the quarter June 30, 2008 the Company wrote down the remaining balance of the
capitalized software development costs to nil. Our initial
expectations were that the wireless gaming system would begin generating
revenues by March 2008. As we have not recognized significant and
expected revenues to date from the wireless gaming system, we have determined
that the capitalized software development costs were subject to impairment and
as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of June 30,
2008. The impairment charges of $432,656 are classified as a
component of other income and expense on the consolidated statement of
operations and loss.
Income
Taxes
We use
the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. This
methodology recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We then record a
valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that likely will
be realized. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent
and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation
allowance. If we determine during any period that we could realize a
larger net deferred tax asset than the recorded amount, we would adjust the
deferred tax asset and record a corresponding reduction to its income tax
expense for the period. Conversely, if management determines that we
would be unable to realize a portion of our recorded deferred tax asset, it
would adjust the deferred tax asset and record a charge to income tax expense
for the period. Significant judgment is required in assessing the
future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial
statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of
these future tax consequences (e.g., the income we earn within the United
States) could materially impact our financial position or results of
operations.
We
adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,”
(“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, exist a
valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax asset, the
adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the financial statements for the
three months ended March 31, 2008. It is our policy to recognize
interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component
of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, there
was no accrued interest or penalty associated with any unrecognized tax
benefits, nor was any interest expense or penalty recognized during six months
ended June 30, 2008.
We file
our income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and
foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are
subject to the interpretation of the related taxes laws and regulations and
require significant judgment to apply. The Company is no longer
subject to U.S. federal and state examinations for years before 2004, and
Canadian federal and provincial tax examination for years before
2004. Management does not believe there will be any material changes
in the Company’s unrecognized tax position over the next 12 months.
We have
applied for Scientific Research and Development Tax credits, as part of our
annual Canadian federal and provincial income tax filings. The federal tax
credits are non-refundable and as we have a full provision against any future
benefits from our historical tax losses, a tax receivable amount for federal
research tax credits is not recognized on the balance sheet. Ontario
provincial tax credits for valid research and development expenditures are
refundable to the Company. As the amount of tax credit that will be
awarded to us upon assessment of the returns by this tax jurisdiction is not
always certain at the time the tax returns are filed, it is our policy to book a
receivable for these amounts on the balance sheet only when we receive the final
tax assessment after the filing of such returns. As of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, the balances for tax credits receivable on the balance sheet
were nil and $51,220, respectively, which related to Ontario research and
development tax credits assessed, but not received, as of the respective
financial statement dates.
Stock-based
Compensation
As of
January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of, and accounts for stock-based
compensation in accordance with the FASB’s Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 — revised 2004 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment” which
replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”),
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the fair value
recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is
recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected the
modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for
comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to
new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are
subsequently modified. Estimated compensation for grants that were
outstanding as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining
service period
using the
compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures, as adjusted
for estimated forfeitures.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued stock options to
directors, officers, and employees under the 2006 Incentive Plan as
described in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements. The
fair value of the total options granted by the Company during the first quarter
of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using a range of risk-free interest rates of
2.84% - 5.00%, an expected term of 3.00 years, expected volatility of 55.0% and
no dividend.
Derivatives
We follow
the provisions of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133”) along with related interpretations EITF No.
00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”) and EITF No. 05-2
“The Meaning of ‘Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in Issue No. 00-19”
(“EITF 05-2”). SFAS No. 133 requires every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) to be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value, with changes in the derivative’s fair value recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We value
these derivative securities under the fair value method at the end of each
reporting period, and their value is marked to market with the gain or loss
recognition recorded against earnings. We use the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to determine fair value. Key assumptions of the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model include applicable volatility rates,
risk-free interest rates and the instruments expected remaining
life. These assumptions require significant management
judgment. At June 30, 2008, there were no derivative instruments
reported on the Company’s balance sheet.
Results
of Operations
Our
business is in its early stages and consequently our financial results are
difficult to compare from one period to the next. We expect such
period-to-period differences to continue to be significant over the next several
quarters, until we have a number of full years of operations.
Comparison
of three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had a comprehensive loss of $1,695,362
compared to a comprehensive loss of $1,329,282 for the three months ended June
30, 2007. The increase of $366,070 in comprehensive loss between the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is primarily due to the increase in
other income and expenses of $437,246, as a result of the write down of software
development cost, which was offset by a decrease in general and administrative
expenses, professional fees, and selling and marketing expenses which
collectively decreased by $394,610, as a result of cost reduction
efforts. The following table compares our consolidated statement of
operations data for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Net
Revenue
Net
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $188,777 compared to net
revenue of $267,182 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of
29%. The net revenue of $188,777 for the three months ended June 30,
2008 included $158,432 of software licensing and development revenue and $30,345
of maintenance and service contract revenue. Approximately 88% of the
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008, relates to development fees
for project work and approximately 12% is attributable to continuing license
subscriptions or other forms of recurring revenue. For the three
months ended June 30, 2008, approximately 22% of our revenue was derived from
applications sold to the financial services and enterprise products, while
approximately 78% was derived from the gaming and horse racing
products. The net revenue of $267,182 for the three months ended June
30, 2007 included $253,314 of software licensing and development revenue and
$13,867 of maintenance and service contract revenue. Approximately
93% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007, relates to
development fees for project work and
approximately
7% is attributable to continuing license subscriptions or other forms of
recurring revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, all of
our revenue was derived from applications sold to the financial services and
enterprise products.
Operating
expenses
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,333,974
compared to $1,612,012 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of
17%. The decrease of $278,038 is primarily due to cost reductions
efforts which caused general and administrative expenses to decrease by 14%,
professional fees to decrease by 75%, and sales & marketing expenses to
decrease by 41% due to a lower level of headcount and reduced use of outside
professionals.
Depreciation
and amortization
Depreciation
and amortization expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were
$55,255 compared to $15,722 incurred during the three months ended June 30,
2007, a decrease of $39,533. The increase in this category was due to
amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2007 Notes ($27,015), as
described in Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements. The
remaining balance in the three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of
depreciation of property, plant and equipment. The comparative three months of
fiscal 2007 amount in this category was composed entirely of depreciation
expense relating to property, plant and equipment.
General
and Administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were
$595,418 compared to $696,133 incurred during the three months ended June 30,
2007, a 14% decrease. The decrease is primarily due to general cost
reduction efforts across most expenses in this category.
Professional
fees
Professional
fees during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $56,273, compared to
$228,332 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007, a 75%
decrease. Legal fees decreased from $170,399 during the second
quarter of fiscal 2007 to $26,997 during the second quarter of
2008. The decrease is primarily due to the internal general counsel
hired during the first quarter of 2008, with the intention of reducing the high
costs associated with legal fees related to contract negotiations, regulatory
and patent filings, intellectual property, and other matters.
Interest
expense
Interest
expense increased from nil during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, to
$117,160 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. This increase
is due to interest expense related to the issuance of debt in November
2007. Actual interest expense on the face value of the 2007 Notes for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $60,000, while amortization of the debt
discount in the amount of $57,160 contributed to the remainder of the amount in
this category.
Foreign
currency translation adjustment
Prior
period retained earnings on Innovations’ books are translated at historical
exchange rates while the rest of the financial statement line items are
translated at current period rates. The resulting difference is
treated as gain or loss due to foreign currency translation during the
period. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008 there was a loss of
$279 and during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 there was a loss of
$25,912. These exchange translation amounts were directly related to
revaluation of the Innovation’s books to our U.S. dollar functional reporting
currency.
Comparison
of six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had a comprehensive loss of $3,563,157
compared to a comprehensive loss of $2,983,297 for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The increase of $579,860 in comprehensive loss between the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is primarily due to the increase in other
income and expenses as a result of the write down of software development cost,
an increase in interest expense of $233,856, and a decrease of $134,357 in net
revenues. The following table compares our consolidated statement of
operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Net
Revenue
Net
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $280,952 compared to net
revenue of $415,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of
32%. The net revenue of $280,952 for the six months ended June 30,
2008 included $193,107 of software licensing and development revenue and $87,875
of maintenance and service contract revenue. Approximately 83% of the
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008, relates to development fees for
project work and approximately 17% is attributable to continuing license
subscriptions or other forms of recurring revenue. For the six months
ended June 30, 2008, approximately 27% of our revenue was derived from
applications sold to the financial services and enterprise products, while
approximately 73% was derived from the gaming and horse racing
products. The net revenue of $415,309 for the three months ended June
30, 2007 included $388,515 of software licensing and development revenue and
$26,794 of maintenance and service contract revenue. Approximately
91% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007, relates to
development fees for project work and approximately 9% is attributable to
continuing license subscriptions or other forms of recurring
revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 72% of
our revenue was derived from applications sold to the financial services and
enterprise products, while approximately 28% was derived from the gaming and
horse racing products.
Operating
expenses
Total
operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $3,190,916
compared to $3,458,661 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of
8%. The decrease of $267,745 is primarily due to cost reduction
efforts whereby general and administrative expenses decreased by 9%,
professional fees decreased by 40%, and sales & marketing expenses decreased
by 37%.
Depreciation
and amortization
Depreciation
and amortization expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were
$145,285 compared to $28,007 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007,
an increase of $117,278. The increase was primarily due to
amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2007 Notes ($54,030), as
described in Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements and amortization
of software development costs ($43,266) in the first quarter of 2008 , while the
remaining balance consisted of depreciation of property, plant and
equipment. The comparative six months of fiscal 2007 amount in this
category was composed entirely of depreciation expense relating to property,
plant and equipment.
General
and Administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were
$1,133,763 compared to $1,241,723 incurred during the six months ended June 30,
2007, a 9% decrease. Increases in payroll expenses in this category
as a result of the hire of our internal counsel and salary increases were
off-set by a decrease in consulting, travel, stock-based compensation, and minor
decreases in various other expenses due to cost reduction efforts, resulting in
the decrease to this category in the first half of fiscal 2008 as compared to
the first half of fiscal 2007.
Professional
fees
Professional
fees during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $373,768, compared to
$625,791 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a 40%
decrease. Legal fees decreased from $471,926 during the first half of
fiscal 2007 to $248,155 during the first half of 2008. The decrease
in the current year period was primarily due to the hiring of internal general
counsel with the intention of reducing the high costs associated with legal fees
related to contract negotiations, regulatory and patent filings, intellectual
property, and other matters.
Development
expenses
Development
expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008, were $1,131,272 compared to
$917,177 incurred during the comparative six months ended June 30, 2007, a 23%
increase. Gross payroll and related expenses remained static with a
decrease of 1% from $1,082,460 during the first two quarters of fiscal 2007 to
$1,076,165 incurred during the first two quarter of fiscal
2008. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2007, $316,821 of total
payroll related expenses was capitalized as software development costs, in
accordance with SFAS 86, reducing development expense by the same amount
capitalized, which reduced the total expensed in this category by the same
amount in the prior year period. There were no software development
costs capitalized in the first two quarters of 2008.
Selling
and marketing expenses
Selling
and marketing expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $406,827
compared to $645,963 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a 37%
decrease. Expenses related to consultants, communication, conferences
and tradeshows, and travel & entertainment expenses decreased from
$360,854
incurred
during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2007 to $140,223 incurred during the
first two quarter of fiscal year 2008 due to cost reduction efforts implemented
in order to conserve cash.
Other
income and expense
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, other income and expense was a loss of $439,658
compared to a loss of $9,631 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, an
increase of $430,027. The increase in other income and expense was
primarily due to the write down of the remaining balance of capitalized software
development costs ($432,656) to nil during the second quarter of fiscal 2008,
while the remaining balance was contributed to a foreign currency transaction
exchange loss ($7,002). Comparatively, during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, other income and expense was a loss of $9,631, consisted entirely
of a foreign currency transaction exchange loss.
Interest
income
Interest
income is derived from investing unused cash balances in short-term liquid
investments. Average cash balances during the first two quarter of
fiscal year 2008 were lower than during the first two quarter of fiscal year
2007, resulting in the lower level of interest income of $15,658 during the
first six months of fiscal year 2008 versus $94,995 earned during the first six
months of fiscal year 2007.
Interest
expense
Interest
expense increased from $464 during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2007, to
$234,320 during the first two quarter of fiscal year 2008, an increase of
$233,856. This increase is due to interest expense related to the
issuance of debt in November 2007. Actual interest accrued or paid
for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2008 was $120,000, while amortization of
the debt discount in the amount of $114,320 contributed to the remainder of this
amount for the six month period ended June 30, 2008.
Foreign
currency translation adjustment
Prior
period retained earnings on Innovations’ books are translated at historical
exchange rates while the rest of the financial statement line items are
translated at current period rates. The resulting difference is
treated as gain or loss due to foreign currency translation during the
period. During the first two quarter of fiscal 2008 there was a gain
of $5,097 and during the first two quarter of fiscal 2007 there was a loss of
$24,845. These exchange translation amounts were directly related to
revaluation of the Innovation’s books to our U.S. dollar functional reporting
currency.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At June
30, 2008, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $548,102 held in current and
short-term deposit accounts. We believe that based on our current
level of spending and the current level of cash receipts, this cash will only be
sufficient to fund our current level of operating expenses until prior to the
end of August 2008. We have been actively pursuing potential
financing or other transaction options for the Company to raise additional
funds. We are in the final stages of negotiating an agreement, which
if effected will have a substantial effect on our business, operations,
financial condition and management. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to successfully implement our plans to raise additional
capital on a timely basis and we may have to cease operations.
Because
of our limited revenue and cash flow from operations, we have depended primarily
on financing transactions to support our working capital and capital expenditure
requirements. Through June 30, 2008, we had accumulated losses of
approximately $25.2 million, which were financed primarily through sales of
equity securities. Since our inception in November 2003 through June
30, 2008, we have raised approximately $18 million in equity financing and $3.5
million in debt financing.
In
January 2006, we sold 2,307,693 shares of our common stock and warrants to
purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to Shuffle Master for $3.0
million. The Shuffle Master warrants had an exercise price of $2.025
per share and expired on July 12, 2007 without being exercised. The
sale of these shares and the issuance of the warrants were in connection with
the original strategic alliance distribution and licensing agreement between us
and Shuffle Master.
In
addition, on July 7, 2006, we closed a private placement to accredited investors
whereby we sold 16,943,323 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
8,471,657 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.83 per share,
subject to downward adjustment if the Company does not meet specified annual
revenue targets, for gross proceeds of approximately $9.3 million after payment
of commissions and expenses. As of December 31, 2007, as a result of
the Company not meeting the specified annual revenue targets, the exercise price
of the warrants was adjusted downwards to $0.40 per share.
On
November 28, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 8.0% convertible
notes with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants which had gross proceeds of $3.0
million. The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are due on
November 28, 2010 and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $0.45 per share (assuming interest is paid in
cash). The 2007 Warrants are to purchase 3,333,333 shares of common
stock and have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire five years from
the issue date.
The 2007
Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly on the first
of January, April, July, and October with such interest payable in cash, shares
of common stock or a combination thereof. Payment of interest in
shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions being met including the
existence of a registration statement which has been declared effective by the
SEC and which covers the required number of interest shares.
On May 28, 2008, the Company entered
into a Bridge Loan Financing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shawn Kreloff, Chairman and CEO, and his wife,
Victoria Corn (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor is willing to lend
the Company up to $1,000,000 by one or two installments under unsecured
promissory notes that would be convertible into a subsequent financing by the
Company. Each unsecured promissory note would mature in 90 days from
the date of issuance of each Note at the rate of 8% per annum accruing from the
date of issuance. On June 17, 2008, Investor funded the
first installment of the Agreement in the amount of $471,750 and was issued a
Bridge Loan Note for said amount pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
There is
no timing commitment as to the remaining amount under the Bridge Loan Financing
Agreement. The Company believes the commitment for the remaining amount
remains valid, although Shawn Kreloff, who was placed on administrative leave on
July 16, 2008, has advised the Company that he does not believe he is required
to fund the remaining amount.
Our
working capital at June 30, 2008, was negative $492,513 and our current ratio at
June 30, 2008, was approximately 0.6 to 1. The current ratio is
derived by dividing current assets by current liabilities and is a measure used
by lending sources to assess our ability to repay short-term
liabilities.
Overall,
for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, we had a net cash decrease of
$1,818,924, attributable primarily to net cash used in operating activities of
approximately $2.16 million, offset by the proceeds from the issuance of a short
term note of $471,750. The primary components of our operating cash
flows are net loss adjusted for non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and
amortization, accretion of the convertible debt discount, stock-based
compensation, and the changes in accounts receivable, accrued liabilities and
payroll, deferred revenue, and accounts payable. Cash used in
operating activities was $2,217,623 during the first two quarter of fiscal year
2008 versus $2,554,324 during the first two quarter of fiscal year
2007.
There
were net capital expenditures of $78,081 during the first two quarter of fiscal
2008 and $78,914 during the first two quarter of fiscal 2007. There
were no development costs capitalized during the first two quarter of fiscal
2008 and $316,821 capitalized during the first two quarter of fiscal
2007. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company determined the
remaining capitalized software development costs were subject to impairment and
as such the capitalized costs have been fully written off as of June 30,
2008.
As of
June 30, 2008, our balance sheet shows long term indebtedness of $2,449,354
which is the value, net of the unamortized debt discount, of the 2007 Notes
which have a face value of $3.0 million.
Contractual
Obligations and Long-Term Liability
The
Company leases office space in Toronto, Ontario and Boulder, Colorado which run
to February 2012 and September 2010 respectively. The Company is
currently leasing space in New York, New York on a short-term basis under a
lease which expires in September 2008, for its corporate
headquarters. In addition, in 2007 we leased approximately 1,000
square feet in Las Vegas, Nevada, for our corporate apartment which was leased
on an annual basis until February 2008, at a monthly rent of approximately
$2,000. Our frequent trips to Las Vegas made this lease a cost effective way to
house our employees during business trips for meetings with our partner Shuffle
Master and in connection with GLI certification of our wireless gaming
solution. This lease was not renewed when it expired at the end of
February 2008. In April 2008, the Company opened a small sales office
in Las Vegas, Nevada under a short-term lease which runs to September
2008. The Company intends to renew its Las Vegas lease on
substantially the same terms on a short-term basis when the current lease
agreement expires. Office lease expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $94,565 and $101,636, respectively. Office lease expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $208,312 and $212,532,
respectively.
The Company also leases office and
computer equipment. These leases have been classified as operating
leases. Office and computer equipment lease expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $38,888 and $48,581,
respectively. Office and computer equipment lease expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $78,830 and $76,753,
respectively.
During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we completed a private placement of 8.0%
convertible notes with 3,333,333 accompanying warrants which had gross proceeds
of $3.0 million. The 2007 Notes have a face value of $3 million, are
due on November 28, 2010, and are convertible into 6,666,667 shares of common
stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share (assuming interest is paid in
cash). The 2007 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum,
payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July, and October with such
interest payable in cash, shares of common stock or a combination
thereof. Payment of interest in shares of common stock is subject to
certain conditions being met including the existence of a registration statement
which has been declared effective by the SEC and which covers the required
number of interest shares.
