PART I

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “assume” or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements in this Quarterly Report regarding our future strategy, future operations, projected financial position, estimated future revenue, projected costs, future prospects, and results that might be obtained by pursuing management’s current plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Important risks that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which this Quarterly Report was filed with the SEC. We expressly disclaim any obligation to issue any updates or revisions to our forward-looking statements, even if subsequent events cause our expectations to change regarding the matters discussed in those statements. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our stockholders.

Viggle Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)


1.  Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
On May 31, 2012, the Company changed its name from Function(x) Inc. to Viggle Inc.  It now conducts business under the name Viggle Inc.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viggle Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The Company has 8 wholly-owned subsidiaries, Function(x) Inc., Project Oda, Inc., Sports Hero Inc., Loyalize Inc., Viggle Media Inc., VX Acquisition Corp., Viggle Merger Sub II Inc. and Wetpaint.com, Inc., each a Delaware corporation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  

Going Concern
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company's ability to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue development of its business and to generate revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. There is no assurance such equity and/or debt offerings will be successful or that development of the business will be successful. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
2.  Line of Business and Recent Acquisition
 
The Company's Line of Business
 
Viggle is an incentive-based, interactive loyalty program and application that seeks to enhance the TV viewing experience and make TV more rewarding for viewers, advertisers and producers. Viggle helps viewers decide what to watch and when, broadens the viewing experience with real time games and additional content, and rewards viewers for being loyal to their favorite shows throughout a season. For advertisers, Viggle provides clients targeted interactive ads to amplify their TV messaging. For TV networks and content producers, Viggle delivers promotional benefits by driving tune ins to specific shows, engaging viewers in a richer content experience, and increasing awareness of promoted shows. The Company's content website, wetpaint.com, extends its promotional capabilities by reaching entertainment fans before a TV show is broadcast and by continuing the conversation with additional show coverage after the broadcast date. In addition, the Company recently launched its music service, which allows consumers to check in to songs on Viggle and earn points. As a media company, Viggle seeks to attract a significant and growing audience in order to sell advertising. The Company believes that making TV more rewarding and engaging around the shows consumers love will drive them to use Viggle.
Through its recently acquired subsidiary, Wetpaint, the Company reports original news stories and publishes information content covering top television shows, music, celebrities, entertainment news and fashion. Wetpaint publishes more than 150 new articles, videos and galleries per day.

U.S. consumers can become Viggle users through a free app that works on multiple types of mobile phones and tablets and is distributed through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. After a consumer downloads the App, he or she must create an account. Viggle then allows consumers to play along with TV shows, share comments through social media, answer trivia questions or polls, chat with friends, play games, or discover more about the show, all while watching TV. Users can also use the App to discover new music. The App can listen to a song and identify it and allow users to build playlists and purchase the music. All of this activity earns the user points they can redeem for real rewards.

The Viggle user experience is simple. While watching TV or listening to music, a user taps the “check-in” button, which activates the device’s microphone. Viggle collects an audio sample of the content the user can hear and uses technology to convert that sample into a digital fingerprint. Within seconds, that digital fingerprint is matched against a database of reference fingerprints that are collected from at least 170 English and Spanish television channels within the United States and over 20 million songs.

9



Viggle is able to verify TV check-ins across broadcast, cable, online, satellite, time-shifted and on-demand content as well as most songs cataloged on Apple’s iTunes music library. The ability to verify check-ins is critical because users are rewarded with points for each check-in and engagement (defined as a poll, video quiz, game or slide show). Users can redeem the points within the rewards catalog for items that have a monetary value such as unique deals and offers, products, sweepstakes, charitable donations, select retail gift cards and Viggle-branded merchandise. Once a user has “checked-in” to content, the app provides a set of optional games, tools, and information to enhance the consumer experience.

The Company has purchased and will continue to source rewards from vendors that it will issue to users upon the redemption of their points.  The Company has only generated minimal revenue to date, and there is no guarantee that it will be able to generate sufficient revenue in the future to continue to purchase rewards from vendors or continue its business. 

Acquisition of Wetpaint

On December 16, 2013, the Company and Viggle Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Viggle (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Wetpaint.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wetpaint”), certain stockholders of Wetpaint and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (solely in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Agent).

Wetpaint is a Seattle, Washington-based Internet company, founded in 2005, that publishes the website Wetpaint.com, focused on entertainment news, and develops a proprietary technology platform, the Social Distribution System, that is used to provide analytics for its own website as well as other online publishers.

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the "Acquisition") have been approved by the board of directors of each of the Company, Merger Sub and Wetpaint. Within twenty four hours following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Wetpaint delivered to Viggle and Merger Sub the irrevocable written consent (the “Written Consent”) of certain of the holders of Wetpaint common stock (the “Wetpaint Common Stock”) and Wetpaint preferred stock (the “Wetpaint Preferred Stock” and, collectively with the Wetpaint Common Stock, the “Wetpaint Capital Stock”) adopting and approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Following receipt of the Written Consent, upon the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Wetpaint (the “Merger”), with Wetpaint continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viggle. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In connection with the Acquisition, all outstanding shares of Wetpaint Capital Stock were converted into the right to receive an aggregate amount of cash and shares of Viggle common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) payable as described below.  At the completion of the Acquisition, (i) $1,634 in cash (subject to certain adjustments for payment of certain transaction expenses by Viggle and bonus and premium payments to certain Wetpaint employees and stockholders), $22,923 in shares of Viggle common stock (subject to certain adjustments as described below) and $3,860 in restricted stock units were delivered to the holders of Wetpaint Capital Stock in accordance with the allocation set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) $4,771 in shares of Viggle common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) were delivered to an escrow agent to satisfy potential indemnification claims.  There are no known indemnification claims, and the escrow was established to cover claims in the event that any indemnification claims arise or are discovered. The shares will be held in escrow for a period of twelve months after closing to satisfy any indemnification claims that might arise during that twelve month period, and if no claims arise, these shares will be distributed to the former shareholders of Wetpaint.  On the earlier of a date within three business days following the date that Viggle completes a public offering of its capital stock in which it raises at least $20,000 in net cash proceeds (a “Subsequent Offering”) or February 15, 2014, an aggregate amount of $3,367 in cash (subject to certain adjustments for changes in Wetpaint’s net working capital, payment of certain transaction expenses by Viggle and bonus and premium payments to certain Wetpaint employees and stockholders) shall be delivered to the holders of Wetpaint Capital Stock in accordance with the allocation set forth in the Merger Agreement. The values of shares of Viggle common stock and restricted stock units noted above were based on the average closing market price of the Company's common stock during the 10 days prior to completion of the Acquisition, in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, if the Company completes a recapitalization on or before December 31, 2015, the stock consideration paid in the Acquisition shall be adjusted such that (i) if upon giving effect to the Recapitalization, the shares constituting such stock consideration collectively represent less than 13.17% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement), we will issue to our stockholders that are former stockholders of Wetpaint (the “Wetpaint/Viggle Holders”) the additional number of shares of our common stock as is necessary such that the shares constituting the stock consideration, as so adjusted, represent 13.17% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement) as of such time, and (ii) if upon giving effect to the Recapitalization, the shares constituting the stock consideration collectively represent

greater than 17.55% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement), then we will cancel such number of shares of our common stock constituting the stock consideration as is necessary such that the stock consideration, as so adjusted, collectively represent 17.55% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement) as of such time. The Company determined a fair value of $6,100 for this contingent consideration and have added such amount to the total acquisition price. At December 31, 2013, the fair value was $5,400. The change in fair value of $700 has been included in other income, net for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Acquisition Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Viggle, Merger Sub and Wetpaint.

The Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition closing date. The assets of Wetpaint have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable utilizing information currently available. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results. The Company has performed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price allocated to goodwill. The Company has not completed the analysis of certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including, but not limited to, other identifiable intangible assets such as customer contracts and technology. However, the Company is continuing its review of these items during the measurement period, and further changes to the preliminary allocation will be recognized as the valuations are finalized.

A summary of the fair value of consideration transferred for the Acquisition and the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition is as follows (amounts in thousands):
Consideration transferred:

Shares of Viggle common stock and restricted stock units based on closing market price prior to the Acquisition

(a) The payable to sellers may be adjusted for changes in Wetpaint's final net working capital. An estimate of such adjustment is between $100 and $400.
(b) As noted above, the contingent consideration is the estimated fair value of additional stock consideration if the Company completes a recapitalization prior to December 15, 2015. The Company cannot estimate a range of potential adjustment to the fair value of contingent consideration as such amount will be based on the market price of the Company's stock at the time of the Recapitalization. However, if the Company's stock price were to change by 10%, the value of the contingent consideration would change by approximately $600.
 
The results of operations of Wetpaint were combined with the Company's consolidated results from the date of acquisition of December 16, 2013. The amortization period period of intangible assets acquired is approximately 7 years. The goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition reflects the strategic fit and revenue and earnings growth potential of this business. Goodwill related to the acquisition is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
 
The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value and primarily consists of money market funds that are readily convertible into cash.  Restricted cash comprises amounts held in deposit that were required as collateral under the lease of office space.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that the billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk associated with delinquent accounts. The Company also considers any changes to the financial condition of its customers and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of its receivables in the determination of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2013 was $103.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with domestic financial institutions of high credit quality. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of all of such institutions.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience with the customer, evaluation of their credit history, and review of the invoicing terms of the contract. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. Actual credit losses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were not significant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as current borrowing rates for the same, or similar loans, are the same as those that were recently issued to the Company.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment (consisting primarily of computers, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements) is recorded at historical cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.  The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure they are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.  The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment is as follows: computer equipment and software: 3 years; furniture and fixtures: 4 years; and leasehold improvements: the lesser of the lease term or life of the asset.
 
Goodwill and Certain Other Long-Lived Assets

As required by ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company tests goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon occurrence of certain events. The Company has one reporting unit. The annual goodwill impairment test is a two step process. First, the Company determines if the carrying value of its reporting unit exceeds fair value, which would

12


indicate that goodwill may be impaired. If the Company then determines that goodwill may be impaired, it compares the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying amount to determine if there is an impairment loss.

There were no impairments of goodwill during the year ended June 30, 2013 as the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount.
 
The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets.  Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal.  
 
There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.
 
Capitalized Software
 
The Company records amortization of acquired software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.  
 
In addition, the Company records and capitalizes internally generated computer software and, appropriately, certain internal costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $3,554 and $3,119 as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, in accordance with ASC 350-40 "Internal-use Software".  At the time software is placed into service, the Company records amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.

Deferred Rent

The Company is party to a lease for office space for its corporate office, and as part the agreement the landlord provided a rent abatement for the first 10 months of the lease. Such abatement has been accounted for as a reduction of rental expense over the life of the lease. The Company accounts for rental expense on a straight line basis over the entire term of the lease. Deferred rent is equal to the cumulative timing difference between actual rent payments and recognized rental expense.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. For all revenue transactions, the Company considers a signed agreement, a binding insertion order or other similar documentation to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement.

Advertising Revenue:  the Company generates advertising revenue primarily from display and video advertising, which is typically sold on a cost-per-thousand impressions, or CPM basis, and completed engagements on a cost per engagement, or CPE basis.  Advertising campaigns typically range from 1 to 12 months, and advertisers generally pay the Company based on a minimum of delivered impressions or the satisfaction of other criteria, such as click-throughs.
 
Deferred Revenue:  deferred revenue consists principally of both prepaid but unrecognized revenue and advertising fees received or billed in advance of the delivery or completion of the delivery of services.  Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the services are provided and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Barter Revenue: barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising or programming for advertising, merchandise or services. Barter transactions which exchange advertising for advertising are accounted for in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-17 "Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions" (ASC Topic 605-20-25). Such transactions are recorded at the fair value of the advertising provided based on the Company's own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising from buyers unrelated to the counter party in the barter transactions. Barter transactions which exchange advertising or programming for merchandise or services are recorded at the monetary value of the revenue expected to be realized from the ultimate disposition of merchandise or services.

The Company recognized barter revenue and barter expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 of $649 and $2,033, respectively. The Company recognized barter revenue and barter expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 of $597 and $597, respectively.


13



Watchpoints and Engagement Points
 
The Company issues points to its users as an incentive to utilize the App and its features.  Users can redeem these points for rewards.  The Company records the cost of these points based on the weighted average cost of redemptions during the period.   Points earned but not redeemed are classified as a liability.
 
Users earn points for various activities within the Company's App. The Company reports points earned for checking into shows and points earned for engaging in advertiser sponsored content as a separate line in its Statements of Operations ("Cost of watchpoints and engagement points").  All other points earned by users are reflected as a marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expense.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an adjustment reducing its point liability by approximately $2,400 related to a change in estimate of the average cost per point earned for users of the Viggle App.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants issued.  Stock-based awards issued to date are comprised of both restricted stock awards (RSUs) and employee stock options.
 
Marketing
 
Marketing costs are expensed as incurred.  Marketing expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 was $1,911 and $3,710, respectively. Marketing expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 was $1,429 and $3,004, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.  In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates include, among others, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, net realizable values on long-lived assets, certain accrued expense accounts, and estimates related to stock-based compensation.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" (ASU No 2013-11"). ASU No. 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent the tax benefit is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law or if the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments are to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date and may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The

14



Company does not expect that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Debt Restructuring

On December 13, 2013 and September 16, 2013, the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, SIC and SIC II entered into a series of transactions to restructure certain of the Company's outstanding debt and equity securities. The impact on each loan is described below, where appropriate.

Term Loan Agreement

On March 11, 2013, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “DB Line”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”), under which Deutsche Bank agreed to loan the Company up to $10,000.  The Company may, from time to time, request advances (the “Advances”) from the DB Line in amounts of no less than $1,000. The Company paid a $150 facility fee from the initial draw of $5,000 made at closing, which has been capitalized to prepaid expenses and is being expensed over the term of the agreement.

On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the DB Line. Pursuant to the Amendment, the line of credit was increased to $30,000, and the maturity date was extended from December 16, 2013 to April 30, 2014. Interest will be due sooner as a result of the receipt of net proceeds by the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries from one or more debt or equity offerings by the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in an amount equal to at least the amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding on the DB Line.

The interest rate on the outstanding balance was lowered as a result of the Amendment. Previously, the interest rate on the outstanding balance was, at the Company’s election, a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 4.00% or (ii) the Prime Rate plus 1.75%. Pursuant to the Amendment, the interest rate on the outstanding balance was lowered to a per annum rate, at the Company’s option, of the LIBOR Rate plus 2.50%, or the Prime Rate plus 0.25%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears.

The Company may make prepayments, in whole or in part, under the DB Line at any time, as long as all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is paid through the prepayment date.

On December 13, 2013, the Company made a draw under the DB Line of $16,951, bringing the total draws to $26,951. The proceeds of this draw were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit, discussed below. On December 19, 2013, the Company drew the remaining amount available under the DB Line of $3,049. The Company used the proceeds from the final draw on the DB Line to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.
 

16



Repayment of the DB Line is guaranteed by Mr. Sillerman.  In consideration for the guarantee Mr. Sillerman's designee, SIC II, which is the lender under the Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit described below, received a warrant for 10,000,000 shares of common stock of Viggle, which may be exercised at any time within 60 months of the issuance date at $1.00 a share, (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and combination, reclassification, merger or consolidation)(the “Guarantee Warrant”). The Guarantee Warrant contains a piggyback registration right with respect to the underlying common shares which may be issued if it is exercised.  The Guarantee Warrant was issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereunder and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  The Company recorded compensation expense in the third fiscal quarter of 2013 of $5,559 related to the Guarantee Warrant issued to SIC II, as Mr. Sillerman's designee.  

As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 the Company had drawn $30,000 and $10,000, respectively, on the DB Line.  Interest expense on the DB Line for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 was $115 and $223, respectively.

Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit

On February 11, 2013, SIC II, an affiliate of Mr. Sillerman provided a line of credit (the “Original $25,000 Line of Credit”) to the Company in the amount of up to $25,000, which, as described above, has since been repaid. In consideration of the Lender's agreement to provide the Original $25,000 Line of Credit, the Company issued to SIC II 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On September 16, 2013, pursuant to a Rescission Agreement (the "Rescission Agreement"), the Company and SIC II agreed to rescind the issuance of the 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally, on September 16, 2013, the Company issued SIC II warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The shares of common stock were held in treasury at December 31, 2013. See Note 8, Stockholders' Equity, for further discussion of the accounting impact of this transaction.

On March 11, 2013, the Company and SIC II entered into an amended and restated line of credit (the “New $25,000 Line of Credit”) to the Company, which modified the Original $25,000 Line of Credit to reduce the interest rate from 14% per annum to 9% per annum and provide, as  security for the Company's obligations, a pledge of the Company's (and its subsidiaries') assets pursuant to a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”, more particularly described below).  In addition, the Company entered into a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”, as more particularly described below) by which the repayment and the security for the New $25,000 Line of Credit was subordinated to the repayment of the DB Line.

As described above, the balance of the New $25,000 Line of Credit was fully repaid on December 13, 2013 and the line was retired at that date. In connection with the draw downs during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued a total of 4,000 and 7,000 warrants and recorded compensation expense of $940 and $3,810, respectively. Interest expense on the New $25,000 Line of Credit was $245 and $410 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. In connection with the repayment and retirement of the New $25,000 Line of Credit on December 13, 2013, the Company recorded interest expense related to the November 25, 2013 PIPE Exchange of $1,231. See Note 8, Stockholders' Equity, for further discussion.
 
$20,000 Line of Credit Exchange

The Company and SIC entered into a Line of Credit Grid Promissory Note on June 29, 2012, which was subsequently amended (as amended, the “$20,000 Line of Credit Note”).  The $20,000 Line of Credit Note was fully drawn, so that as of March 11, 2013 Company owed SIC $20,782 including outstanding principal and accrued interest.  On March 11, 2013, SIC exchanged the $20,000 Line of Credit Note for an 8% Convertible Secured Note (the “8% Note”), in the principal amount of $20,782. The exchange was made pursuant to an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), which provided for the issuance of 40,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) for each $100 in principal amount of the Original Note exchanged, so that the Company issued to SIC 8,312,699 shares of Common Stock. 

On September 16, 2013, in connection with the Rescission Agreement, the Company and SIC agreed to rescind the transactions in the Exchange Agreement. The effect of the transaction was to (a) rescind the issuance of the 8,312,699 shares originally issued to SIC and (b) rescind the exchange of the 8% Note for the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note. This had the effect of extinguishing the 8% Note and reinstating the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note. The Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note had accrued and unpaid interest on September 16, 2013 of $1,748. The shares of common stock were held in treasury at September 30, 2013.

On September 16, 2013, SIC agreed to waive, pursuant to a Waiver (the “Waiver”), $1,748 of accrued and unpaid interest on the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note, which interest accrued from June 29, 2012 through and including September 16, 2013.

Additionally, on September 16, 2013, the Company and SIC entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued, in full satisfaction of the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note, 20,000 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and 15,237 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 8, Stockholders Equity, for further description of the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Prior to the execution of the Note Exchange Agreement, the 8% Notes could have, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, been converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.25 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends, or recapitalization. Further, the conversion price was subject to "down round" protection, whereby any dilution above 33% requires the consent of a majority of holders of the 8% Notes, after which the 8% Notes would receive weighted-average share dilution protection. The Company determined that, due to the nature of the "down round" protection, the conversion feature was an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded derivative was bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at its fair value. The fair value of the embedded derivative was determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of the embedded derivative when issued was $6,662, which was recorded as stock compensation cost and included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations due to the fact that the 8% Notes were owned 100% by an executive officer of the Company. The embedded derivative was marked to market at June 30, 2013 and September 16, 2013 to a fair value of $3,870 and $3,854, respectively. The Company recorded a gain of $16 to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. In connection with the Note Exchange Agreement, the embedded derivative no longer existed after September 16, 2013.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

On August 17, 2012, the Company was served with a patent infringement lawsuit filed on August 13, 2012 by Blue Spike, LLC ("Blue Spike") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division (Civil Action No. 6:12-CV-526). The lawsuit claims patent infringement under U.S. Patent numbers 7,346,472, 7,660,700, 7,949,494, and 8,214,715 in connection with the Company's audio recognition technology. Blue Spike has commenced suits against numerous other companies involving the same patent family.

The Company denies that it is infringing any valid, enforceable claims of the asserted patents and intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. The Company filed its answer on October 3, 2012.

The Company is subject to litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate result of our outstanding legal matters cannot presently be determined, the Company does not expect that the ultimate disposition will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable

18



and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Exchange Agreement

As described in Note 6, Loans Payable, on September 16, 2013, the Company and SIC entered into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued, in full satisfaction of the Original $20,000 Line of Credit Note, 20,000 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and 15,237 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

PIPE Exchanges

In August of 2011 and May of 2012, the Company completed certain private placement offerings (the “PIPE Transactions”) in which the Company issued to certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The Company's Board of Directors approved an exchange (the “PIPE Exchange”) by certain PIPE Investors of the common stock and warrants that they received in the PIPE Transactions for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

On September 16, 2013, as part of the PIPE Exchange, the Company and SIC entered into an exchange agreement (the “PIPE Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which SIC agreed to exchange: (a) 2,609,455 shares of the Company's common stock (the “PIPE Common Shares”), (b) warrants to purchase 2,064,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $8 (the “August PIPE Warrants”) and (c) warrants to purchase 545,455 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.25 (the “May PIPE Warrants,” and collectively with the August PIPE Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”) that it had received in the PIPE Transactions

20



for: (i) 13,320 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Series A Shares”) and (ii) 6,127.2 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Series B Shares”). The shares of common stock were held in treasury at December 31, 2013.

As described in Note 6, Loans payable, on November 25, 2013, the Company drew $1,045 under the New $25,000 Line of Credit, and drew an additional $955 from other investors who had committed to fund under the New $25,000 Line of Credit (the "LOC Investors").

On November 25, 2013, as part of an additional PIPE Exchange, the Company and the LOC Investors entered into exchange agreements pursuant to which the LOC Investors agreed to exchange: (a) a total of 191,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and (b) warrants to purchase 191,000 shares of the Company's common stock that they had received in the PIPE Transactions for: (i) a total of 955 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) a total of 439.3 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As a condition of such exchange, the LOC Investors committed to fund a total of $955 under the New $25,000 Line of Credit, and the Company drew on those commitments on November 25, 2013. The debt to the LOC Investors is subordinate to the Company's Term Loan Agreement with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. As part of such draw, the Company also issued to the LOC Investors warrants to purchase 955,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1 per share. These warrants are exercisable for 5 years. The Company recorded debt discount of $1,231, based on the fair values of the common stock, warrants and Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the repayment and retirement of the New $25,000 Line of Credit on December 16, 2013, described in Note 6, Loans Payable, the Company wrote off the debt discount as interest expense.

Carrying Value and Compensation Expense

In accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments", the shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their fair values as of the date of the exchange of September 16, 2013. In addition, in connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company recorded compensation expense of $6,259 during the six months ended December 31, 2013. The Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the carrying value of the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and its liquidation value is being accreted over the redemption period of 5 years. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded accretion of $176 related to the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Related Approvals

Because the transaction referred to in the foregoing section entitled "PIPE Exchanges" involved Mr. Sillerman, or an affiliate of his, the transaction was subject to certain rules regarding "affiliate" transactions. As such, it was approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors and a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
        
9. Share-Based Payments

Equity Incentive Plan
 
The 2011 Executive Incentive Plan (the "Plan") of the Company was approved on February 21, 2011 by the written consent of the holder of a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Plan provides the Company the ability to grant to any officer, director, employee, consultant or other person who provides services to the Company or any related entity, options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards and performance awards, provided that only employees are entitled to receive incentive stock options in accordance with IRS guidelines. The Company reserved 30,000,000 shares of common stock for delivery under the Plan.  Pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan and the employment agreements, between February 15, 2011 and December 31, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors authorized the grants of restricted stock and stock options described below.
 
Restricted Stock
 
The per share fair value of RSUs granted with service conditions was determined on the date of grant using the fair market value of the shares on that date and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. This information does not include RSUs granted as part of the acquisition of Wetpaint described in Note 2.

The Company is accounting for these options at fair market value of the options on the date of grant, with the value being recognized over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.  Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of comparable companies' stock.  The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option.  The Company uses historical data to estimate expected dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rates.  Options generally have an expiration  of 10 years and vest over a period of 3 or 4 years.  The fair value of the options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were estimated based on the following weighted average assumptions:

10.  Income Taxes
 
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $22 and $46, respectively to reflect tax amortization of the Company's goodwill.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $44 and $44, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the Company had  a Net Operating Loss

22



carryforward of $60,901, which will begin to expire in 2030.  The Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. 

The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through its income tax expense.

The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception.  The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.    

11.  Related Party Transactions

Recapitalization Note
 
In Fiscal 2011, Mr. Sillerman (and his spouse and entities controlled by him), executed promissory notes in accordance with his subscription agreement for the payment of the purchase price of certain shares of common stock, in the amounts of $3,242.  The note is an unsecured five-year note with interest accruing at the annual rate equal to the long-term Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the date of the Recapitalization Agreement (which was 4.15% per annum).  Interest income recorded on this note for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 was $34 and $68, respectively. Interest income recorded on this note for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 was $35 and $70, respectively.
 
Shared Services Agreements

In an effort to economize on costs and be efficient in its use of resources, the Company entered into a shared services agreement with Circle Entertainment Inc. (“Circle”) as of February 15, 2011, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mitchell J. Nelson, its then General Counsel and General Counsel to Circle.  The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing of the applicable support provided by either company to Mr. Nelson in connection with his capacity of providing legal services, and an allocation generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson, which are initially estimated to be divided evenly between the companies.  The Company is responsible for advancing the salary to Mr. Nelson for both companies and will be reimbursed by Circle for such salary and benefits (but not for any bonus, option or restricted share grant made by either company, which will be the responsibility of the company making such bonus, option or restricted share grant).  The agreement provides for the Chief Executive Officer or President of each Company to meet periodically to assess whether the services have been satisfactorily performed and to discuss whether the allocation has been fair.  The Audit Committee of each company's Board of Directors will then review and, if appropriate, approve the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances.  Because this transaction is subject to certain rules regarding “affiliate” transactions, the Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors have approved the shared services agreement.  This is deemed to be an affiliate transaction because Mr. Sillerman is the former Chairman, a Board member, and a greater than 10% stockholder of Circle and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company billed Circle $13 and $60, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company billed Circle $79 and $158, respectively. Such billings primarily relate to support consisting of legal and administrative services. These services are to be reviewed and, if appropriate, approved by Circle's Audit Committee and the Company's Audit Committee. The balance due from Circle as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was $70 and $23, respectively.

The Company also entered into a shared services agreement with SFX, a company affiliated with Mr. Sillerman, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mr. Nelson and several other of the Company's employees. The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson and such other employees. Mr. Nelson and such other employees will continue to be paid by the Company, and SFX will either reimburse Circle (which will reimburse the Company, if applicable) or reimburse the Company directly for its portion of such salary and benefits (but not for any bonus, option or restricted share grant made by either company, which will be the responsibility of the company making such bonus, option or restricted share grant). The agreement provides for the Chief Executive Officer or President of each company to meet periodically to assess whether the services have been satisfactorily performed and to discuss whether the allocation has been fair. The Audit Committee of each company's Board of Directors will then review and, if appropriate, approve the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances. Because this transaction is subject to certain rules regarding “affiliate” transactions, the Company's Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors have approved this shared services agreement. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company billed SFX $154 and $285, respectively. No amounts were billed to SFX during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012.  The balance due from SFX as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was $39 and $47, respectively.


23



Certain Company accounting personnel may provide personal accounting services to Mr.. Sillerman.  To the extent that such services are rendered, Mr. Sillerman shall reimburse the Company therefor.  The reimbursement for any such services shall be reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company billed Mr. Sillerman $8 and $8, respectively.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company billed Mr. Sillerman $78 and $148, respectively. The balance due from Mr. Sillerman as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was $7 and $0, respectively.

12. Fair Value Measurement

The Company values its assets and liabilities using the methods of fair value as described in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, and considers counter-party credit risk in its assessment of fair value.  Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions based on the best information available. The Company has certain liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as described below.

The Company issued 1,709,091 warrants in connection with the May 10, 2012 PIPE. Each warrant has a sale price of $5.50 and is exercisable into 1 share of common stock at a price of $8.00 over a term of 3 years. Further, the exercise price of the warrants is subject to "down round" protection, whereby any issuance of shares at a price below the current price resets the exercise price equal to a price equal to the price of the newly issued shares (the "Warrants"). In connection with the PIPE Exchanges described in Note 8, Stockholders' Equity, the exercise price of the Warrants was reset to $1.15 on September 16, 2013. The fair value of the warrants has been determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of the warrants when issued was $5,281 and was $443 as of June 30, 2013. As described in Note 6, Loans Payable, 545,455 warrants were exchanged on September 16, 2013. The remaining 1,163,636 warrants were marked to market as of December 31, 2013 to a fair value of $175. The Company recorded a gain of $267 and $3,683 to other income, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company's warrants were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using unobservable inputs and management's judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity.

The Company issued $20,782 of 8% secured convertible notes (“8% Notes”), which were due to mature on March 11, 2016. The 8% Notes allowed for, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, conversion into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.25 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends, or recapitalization. Further, the conversion price was subject to "down round" protection, whereby any dilution above 33% required the consent of a majority of holders of the 8% Notes, after which the 8% Notes would receive weighted-average share dilution protection. The Company previously determined that, due to the nature of the "down round" protection, the conversion feature was an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded derivative was bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at its fair value utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The embedded derivative was classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because it was valued using unobservable inputs and management's judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The fair value of the embedded derivative when issued was $6,662, which was recorded as stock compensation cost due to the fact that the 8% Notes were owned 100% by an executive officer of the Company. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2013 and September 16, 2013 was $3,870 and $3,854, respectively. The Company recorded a gain of $16 to other income,

24



net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. In connection with the Note Exchange Agreement described in Note 6, Loans Payable, the embedded derivative no longer existed after September 16, 2013.

As discussed in Note 2, Line of Business and Recent Acquisition, the Company estimated the fair value of contingent consideration for the acquisition of Wetpaint at $6,100. As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $5,400.

13.  Subsequent Events

On January 29, 2014, the Company acquired Dijit Media, a San Francisco based maker of award-winning technology that helps consumers search for, find, and set reminders for their favorite TV shows and movies wherever they are offered. Pro forma financial statements for this acquisition are not required.

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Line”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”), under which Deutsche Bank agreed to loan the Company up to $2,500. In addition, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line may not exceed 85% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable at any time. The Company may, from time to time, request advances from the Revolving Line in amounts of no less than $500. Interest on the outstanding balance may, at the Company’s election, be charged at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 4.00% or (ii) the Prime Rate plus 1.75%.   Interest is payable monthly in arrears.  The Company paid a $50 facility fee from the initial draw of $1,000 made at closing. The Revolving Line matures on April 30, 2014. The Company may make prepayments, in whole or in part, under the Revolving Line at any time, as long as all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is paid through the prepayment date. The Revolving Line is secured by a lien on all of the Company's assets. Repayment of the Revolving Line was guaranteed by Mr. Sillerman.

Overview
Viggle Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994, and was formerly known as Function (x) Inc, Function (X) Inc. and Gateway Industries, Inc.

Our Vision
Viggle makes entertainment more rewarding.

Our Strategy

25


Viggle is an incentive-based, interactive loyalty program and application that seeks to enhance the TV viewing experience and make TV more rewarding for viewers, advertisers and producers. Viggle helps viewers decide what to watch and when, broadens the viewing experience with real time games and additional content, and rewards viewers for being loyal to their favorite shows throughout a season. For advertisers, Viggle provides clients targeted interactive ads to amplify their TV messaging. For TV networks and content producers, Viggle delivers promotional benefits by driving tune-ins to specific shows, engaging viewers in a richer content experience, and increasing awareness of promoted shows. Our content website, wetpaint.com, extends our promotional capabilities by reaching entertainment fans before a TV show is broadcast and by continuing the conversation with additional show coverage after the broadcast date. In addition, we recently launched our music service, which allows consumers to check in to songs on Viggle and earn points. As a media company, we seek to attract a significant and growing audience in order to sell advertising. We believe that making TV more rewarding and engaging around the shows consumers love will drive them to use Viggle.

Overview of Our Service
U.S. consumers can become Viggle users through a free app that works on multiple types of mobile phones and tablets and is distributed through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. After a consumer downloads the app, he or she must create an account. Viggle then allows consumers to play along with TV shows, share comments through social media, answer trivia questions or polls, chat with friends, play games, or discover more about the show, all while watching TV. Users can also use the application to discover new music. The app can listen to a song and identify it and allow users to build playlists and purchase the music. All of this activity earns the user points they can redeem for real rewards.

Through Wetpaint, we report original news stories and publish information content covering top television shows, music, celebrities, entertainment news and fashion. Wetpaint publishes more than 150 new articles, videos and galleries per day.

The Viggle user experience is simple. While watching TV or listening to music, a user taps the “check-in” button, which activates the device’s microphone. Viggle collects an audio sample of the content the user can hear and uses technology to convert that sample into a digital fingerprint. Within seconds, that digital fingerprint is matched against a database of reference fingerprints that are collected from at least 170 English and Spanish television channels within the United States and over 20 million songs. We are able to verify TV check-ins across broadcast, cable, online, satellite, time-shifted and on-demand content as well as most songs cataloged on Apple’s iTunes music library. The ability to verify check-ins is critical because users are rewarded with points for each check-in and engagement (defined as a poll, video quiz, game or slide show). Users can redeem the points within the rewards catalog for items that have a monetary value such as unique deals and offers, products, sweepstakes, charitable donations, select retail gift cards and Viggle-branded merchandise. Once a user has “checked-in” to content, the app provides a set of optional games, tools, and information to enhance the consumer experience.

Today, Viggle points can be earned through six different activities: WatchPoints (1 point for every minute a user is checked-in on Viggle TV), Bonus Points (added points for connecting with promoted content), Live Engagement Points (points earned for playing MyGuy, Viggle Live or other games), Streaks and Quests (added points for connecting with a series of shows or songs), Music Match Points (points earned for matching a song on Viggle), and Advertising Points (advertising revenue we share with our customers in the form of points).
 
From the launch of the Viggle App on January 25, 2012, and through December 31, 2013, 3,897,220  users have registered, of which we have deactivated 206,388 for a total of 3,690,832 registered users. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, we have accumulated an average of 423,418 monthly active users. Monthly active users are computed by determining those users that have logged in to the Viggle App at any time during the month.  As of December 31, 2013, our members have checked in to 355,483,807 TV programs and spent an average of approximately 64 minutes and 58 seconds of active time within the Viggle App per session.  Active users are defined as those who earned a point or redeemed a point that day. Users have redeemed a total of 2,673,710 rewards.

Our rewards catalog consists of a variety of deals, sweepstakes, products, Viggle merchandise (such as t-shirts) and select retail gift cards. For example, users may redeem 5,000 points for a 10% discount with certain retailers, redeem 100 points to participate in a sweepstakes to win an AppleTV, or redeem 37,000 points for a Viggle t-shirt. From time to time, we may change the rewards offered and the number of points required to earn any given reward.  For the 2,673,710 reward redemptions through December 31, 2013, the average number of points used per redemption has been approximately 12,622 points and the total retail value to consumers was approximately $19.5 million.

It is not possible for a user to earn points on the Viggle app without registering. In order to avoid double-counting and limit instances of fraud, the app is limited to five accounts per device (so as to allow for use by family members sharing a device), users are limited to a maximum of 6,000 points per day, users may receive points for matching to a song only once, users are limited to

26



receive points for up to 20 music matches per day, and users are not able to share or combine points with different users or devices. While it is possible for users to establish multiple accounts which could overstate our actual number of registered active users and permit those fraudulent users to attempt to evade our rules in an effort to accumulate excess points by checking-in to TV shows at the same time on different devices, we monitor for such activity and, when discovered, take corrective action according to our published terms and conditions. Registration is not required to access any of Wetpaint's websites.

Wetpaint operates media properties that attracted 16.6 million unique monthly users in December 2013, and have a combined social reach of over seven million Facebook “likes” and follows on Twitter. For Wetpaint, we define a monthly unique user as any visitor who has accessed Wetpaint through its websites or mobile websites in the month of measurement, as measured by Google Analytics (“GA”). We define combined social reach as the cumulative number of times people have “liked” a Wetpaint page on Facebook plus the cumulative number of times people have “followed” a Wetpaint account on Twitter.

Technology
The first version of the Viggle App was approved by Apple and launched to the public in the Apple iTunes App Store on January 25, 2012. It has been updated periodically. The approved version of the app works on Apple iOS devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. On June 27, 2012, we released a version of the app for use on Android smartphones and tablets. There is no guarantee as to how effectively the technology will perform. We continuously test and update the app with a goal of improving overall performance and usability. In order to insure the best user experience, Viggle requires a device operating system of iOS 5.0 or later for Apple devices or Android 2.3.3 or later for Android devices. It may become necessary to change the minimum required operating systems in the future.
 
We will consider adding versions for other mainstream mobile operating systems such as Windows Phone and Blackberry based on demand and other business factors. Distribution of the product will occur via regular online marketplaces for content and applications used by such mobile operating systems, and will include the Apple App Store for iOS devices or the Android marketplace for devices using the Android operating system.
 
The back-end technology for our App has been designed to accommodate the significant numbers of simultaneous check-ins required to support prime time television audiences. This back-end technology has the capacity to support simultaneous check-ins around major television and music events such as the Super Bowl. In addition to maintaining dedicated facilities, we are using third-party cloud computing services from Amazon Web Services to help us scale our audio recognition capacity as efficiently as possible.

Wetpaint.com was launched in 2005 with the goal of providing a unique voice to the coverage of entertainment and the related celebrities. In order to build and develop an audience for Wetpaint’s proprietary content, we have developed an audience development engine, which is called the Social Publishing Platform. The Social Publishing Platform is designed to generate fans on Wetpaint’s pages on Facebook and other social media outlets. Wetpaint content is then displayed in the fans’ feeds on Facebook and other social media sites, which can then drive traffic to Wetpaint’s websites. The Social Publishing Platform contains a test and measurement system that delivers real-time audience insights, and provides targeted recommendations by audience.

The technology supporting our unique feature of digital fingerprinting and our matching technology used in the Viggle App is subject to a currently unissued but pending patent.

Revenue
We began generating revenues in early calendar year 2012. Advertising is displayed in the Viggle App and on the wetpaint.com websites. Advertising is sold directly to brand marketers and television networks or through advertising agencies by our dedicated sales team.  We also generate revenue through partnerships with third party mobile advertising networks. Our focus is on brand marketers that are most relevant to our target demographic of consumers between the ages of 18 and 49, and are active in television, digital and retail marketing. Our sales team is also briefing large advertising and media agencies on our capabilities so that they might recommend integration of our App and our websites into their client proposals.  We generate revenue from standard mobile media advertising sales and affiliate programs:

•
when our users click and view advertisements in our App or on our websites,

•
when our users complete an engagement (defined as a poll, video quiz, game or slide show) appearing in our App that is created by an advertising agency, our brand partners or our team, and

•
through affiliate or bounty commissions to third parties if our users purchase items or subscribe to services after clicking from our App to other apps or websites.  

27




With the exception of one-time sponsorships with advertisers (which are charged a separate and specific fee), all advertising is serviced via a third-party advertising server for billing and verification purposes.  Revenues are generated by measuring delivered impressions on a cost per thousand (CPM) basis and completed engagements on a cost per engagement (CPE) basis.  Our sales team contracts with brand advertisers to deliver a specific number of impressions and/or engagements for a specific price per thousand impressions and/or per completed engagement.  The third-party ad server then serves the ads and/or engagements within the App during the course of using the Viggle App or visiting content on wetpaint.com's websites.  As impressions and engagements are delivered and completed, we bill brand partners or advertising agencies on a monthly basis for the media delivered at our contracted rates. 

Watchpoints and Engagement Points
The Company issues points to its users as an incentive to utilize the Viggle App and its features.  Users can redeem these points for rewards.  The Company records the cost of these points based on the weighted average cost of redemptions during the period.   Points earned, but not redeemed, are classified as a liability.
 
The Company reports points earned for checking into shows and points earned for engaging in advertiser sponsored content as a separate line in its Consolidated Statements of Operations ("Cost of watchpoints and engagement points").  All other points earned by users are reflected as a marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expense.

Target Consumers
We are targeting male and female consumers between the ages of 18 and 49. This target audience was selected due to the amount of entertainment content they consume on a weekly basis as well as the likelihood that they will have smartphones and other wireless devices such as tablets and laptops. To build our user base, we intend to target this audience using traditional media techniques such as direct response, banner and mobile advertising, public relations, search engine optimization and search engine marketing across online, broadcast and print media outlets.
 
When a user signs up for and downloads our app, we collect the user’s email, zip code, television provider and date of birth. The email enables us to verify the user and reduces the chance of fraud. The zip code allows us to present a relevant list of cable and satellite providers to the user to deliver the correct channel listing data. Knowing the television provider in turn helps us to increase the rate of success for television show matching. Knowing a user’s birthday allows us to verify that the user is at least 13 years old.

We generate content for wetpaint.com that appeals largely to women between the ages of 18 and 49. Our coverage of TV shows and the related celebrities strives to attract repeat visitors to the website that want to read about the latest entertainment news. We use our Social Publishing Platform to generate Facebook fans, so that our content will appear in Facebook feeds, and generate traffic to our websites.

Competitive Position
The market for digital and social media applications is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. New competitors may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost. Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple digital brands and products, making it easy to shift consumption from one provider to another. Additionally, the “Social TV” and “entertainment rewards” categories are nascent and have not yet attracted the attention of mainstream consumers and marketers. Many of our competitors are larger, more established and better-funded and have a history of successful operations. Although we launched the first version of our app in January 2012, there can be no assurance of how successful our product will be or how effectively the technology will perform.
 
While there are a variety of companies currently in the market that offer either manual check-in or audio verification during television viewing or audio matching for music, we believe Viggle differs significantly from competitors because we offer users real, as opposed to virtual, rewards such as unique deals and offers, products, sweepstakes, charitable donations, select retail gift cards and Viggle-branded merchandise, and our app drives our customers to engage and interact with entertainment content for longer periods of time. We believe that our app offers a more comprehensive range of features and functionality than those of our competitors, such as automatic check-ins using audio verification, in-app digital advertising engagements (such as games or videos, real-time polls and quizzes) and full social media integration that rewards our users for being more loyal to specific content or specific content producers and provides our users with, we believe, a more enjoyable entertainment experience. Such integration makes it easy for users to share what they are doing within the Viggle app with their social network and to follow show-specific commentary on Twitter and Facebook. We also offer users a listing of current and upcoming shows for which they can set reminders, learn more information and indicate their support of the show by “liking” it.

28



 
Other companies in the “Social TV” market focus on the simple ability of a user to communicate their television viewing activity to others in the user’s social media circles. Other companies that tag music also focus on the social connectivity of matching, but do not reward the consumer for the consumer’s loyalty. Instead of real rewards, these other companies offer their users virtual points, leader board status, digital badges or stickers. We believe that our target market will be motivated by the ability to earn real rewards on a frequent basis and to interact in real time via show-specific polls, quizzes, videos and games.

The Mobile Marketing Industry
According to data from Experian Marketing Services, U.S. consumers are now spending more than 58 minutes a day on their smartphones for a variety of activities including talking, texting, social networking, emailing, visiting websites and playing games. The emergence and growth of mobile devices has led to the “always connected consumer”, and advertisers continue to search for ways to engage with this audience. Advertisers are spending considerable sums of money to target the mobile user, according to eMarketer, mobile ad spending will be $8.5 billion in 2013, up 95% from $4.4 billion in 2012, with projections of up to $30 billion by 2017.

The way in which consumers are using their smartphones and tablets have changed in recent years with the growth in usage of apps, self-contained software programs specifically made for mobile devices. According to Flurry Analytics, the average number of apps used on a daily basis continues to grow, measuring 7.9 in Q4-2012 vs. 7.2 in Q4-2010(3). The emergence of the App marketplace has created a unique opportunity and challenge for developers and advertisers to monetize the usage by consumers.

The challenge presented with mobile advertising is that users can find the mobile advertising experience interruptive. While click-through banner ads are popular on web browsers, there is a higher degree of consumer engagement with watching an ad or interacting with an ad, and smart phone users expect more for their behavior. According to a December 2012 study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Tapjoy, a mobile advertising and publishing platform, 59% of smartphone users agreed that if they have to see ads while using an app, they would prefer to be offered a reward in exchange for watching or interacting with the ad.

Recent Acquisition
On December 16, 2013, we and Merger Sub entered into the merger agreement with Wetpaint, certain stockholders of Wetpaint and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (solely in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Agent). In connection with the Acquisition, all outstanding shares of Wetpaint capital stock were converted into the right to receive an aggregate amount of cash and shares of our common stock payable as described below. Promptly after the effective time of the Acquisition, (i) $1,633,500 in cash (subject to certain adjustments for payment of certain transaction expenses by us and bonus and premium payments to certain Wetpaint employees and stockholders) and $22,924,214 in shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments as described below) were delivered to the holders of Wetpaint capital stock in accordance with the allocation set forth in the acquisition agreement, and (ii) $4,771,372 in shares of our common stock were delivered to an escrow agent to satisfy potential indemnification claims and cover certain expenses of the escrow agent. On the earlier of a date within three business days following the date that we complete a public offering of its capital stock in which it raises at least $20,000,000 in net cash proceeds or February 15, 2014, (A) an aggregate amount of $3,366,500 in cash (subject to certain adjustments for changes in Wetpaint’s net working capital, payment of certain transaction expenses by us and bonus and premium payments to certain Wetpaint employees and stockholders) will be delivered to the holders of Wetpaint capital stock in accordance with the allocation set forth in the merger agreement and (B) $45,509 in cash will be delivered to the escrow agent to cover certain expenses of the escrow agent.

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, if we complete a recapitalization on or before December 31, 2015, the stock consideration paid in the Acquisition shall be adjusted such that (i) if upon giving effect to the Recapitalization, the shares constituting such stock consideration collectively represent less than 13.17% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement), we will issue to our stockholders that are former stockholders of Wetpaint (the “Wetpaint/Viggle Holders”) the additional number of shares of our common stock as is necessary such that the shares constituting the stock consideration, as so adjusted, represent 13.17% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement) as of such time, and (ii) if upon giving effect to the Recapitalization, the shares constituting the stock consideration collectively represent greater than 17.55% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement), then we will cancel such number of shares of our common stock constituting the stock consideration as is necessary such that the stock consideration, as so adjusted, collectively represent 17.55% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement) as of such time.

Going Concern

29



Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2013, and the auditor's report on those financial statements, include a disclosure paragraph regarding the uncertainty of our ability to remain a going concern, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue development of its business and to increase revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. There is no assurance such equity and/or debt offerings will be successful or that development of the business will be successful.

Consolidated Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 (amounts in thousands)
 
Revenues
 
Revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $5.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million from the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily from increased 3rd party video advertising on the Viggle App.
 
Cost of Watchpoints and Engagement Points
 
Cost of watchpoints and engagement points for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $0.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million from the three months ended December 31, 2012. Such costs relate to the cost of Viggle reward points earned by users of the App for checking into shows and engaging with advertising content. The decrease is primarily due to an adjustment reducing the reward points liability by $2.4 million related to a change in estimate of the average cost per point earned for users of the Viggle App.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $2.4 million from the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was due to increases in stock based compensation of $2.7 million and technology related costs of $0.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $1.1 million.

Other Income, Net


30



Other income, net was $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $0.1 million from the three months ended December 31, 2012. Other income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2013 included a gain related to the valuation of the contingent consideration in the Wetpaint acquisition of $0.7 million, and a gain related to the valuation of the common stock warrant payable of $0.1 million. Other income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2012 included a gain related to the valuation of the common stock warrant payable of $0.6 million.

Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net was $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1.3 million from the three months ended December 31, 2012. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, $1.2 million of debt discount related to the November 25, 2013 PIPE Exchange was recorded as interest expense. The increase was also due to higher levels of debt during the three months ended December 31, 2013.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.  For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. At December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company provided a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and thus recognized no tax benefit. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.02 million to reflect tax amortization of the Company's goodwill.

Consolidated Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2012 (amounts in thousands)
 
Revenues
 
Revenue in the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $9.4 million, an increase of $3.4 million from the six months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily from increased 3rd party video advertising on the Viggle App and barter revenue.
 
Cost of Watchpoints and Engagement Points
 
Cost of watchpoints and engagement points for the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $1.1 million from the six months ended December 31, 2012. Such costs relate to the cost of Viggle reward points earned by users of the App for checking into shows and engaging with advertising content. The decrease is primarily due to an adjustment reducing the reward points liability by $2.4 million related to a change in estimate of the average cost per point earned for users of the Viggle App, partially offset by an increase in reward points earned by users.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $42.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $6.1 million from the six months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was due to increases in stock based compensation of $6.7 million and technology related costs of $1.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $2.0 million.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was $0.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.3 million from the six months ended December 31, 2012. Other income, net for the six months ended December 31, 2013 included a gain related to the valuation of the contingent consideration in the Wetpaint acquisition of $0.7 million, and a gain related to the valuation of the common stock warrant payable of $0.2 million. Other income, net for the six months ended December 31, 2012 included a gain related to the valuation of the common stock warrant payable of $3.7 million, partially offset by an increase in the Loyalize guarantee liability of $0.5 million.

Interest expense, net was $2.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $2.0 million from the six months ended December 31, 2012. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, $1.2 million of debt discount related to the November 25, 2013 PIPE Exchange was recorded as interest expense. The increase was also due to higher levels of debt during the six months ended December 31, 2013.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.  For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. At December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company provided a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and thus recognized no tax benefit. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.05 million to reflect tax amortization of the Company's goodwill.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Rewards Costs and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company provides a non-GAAP measure for adjusted rewards costs as an alternative view of the Company's cost of providing rewards to its users. The Company reports rewards costs in its Consolidated Statement of Operations in both Cost of watchpoints and engagement points and in selling, general and administrative expenses. Management believes that due to the lack of operating history associated with user point accumulation and redemption activity, that a useful financial measure for investors is to provide to them the amount of cash the Company has actually paid to provide rewards to its users. Therefore, the Company adjusts cost of watchpoints and engagement points as reported, which represents the cost of points earned by users during the period, to the cost of actual rewards redeemed by users during the period. Selling, general and administrative expenses as reported are likewise adjusted as certain point costs are classified as marketing. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents operating loss (as reported) plus depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation and adjustment to rewards costs. The information on adjusted rewards costs and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of operating income prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Management believes these non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of the Company's financial performance. Since adjusted reward costs and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP, they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. A reconciliation between GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures is as follows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (amounts in thousands, except share data)
 
Cash
 
At December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we had cash balances of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  

Available Line of Credit

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no funds available under any of its lines of credits.

The Company's capital requirements to fund its business plan are variable based on a few key factors: the number of users, the amount of points earned per user, the amount of points redeemed for rewards, and our cost to purchase, acquire, and/or trade for rewards.  These factors combine to determine our rewards cost for the next 12 months. Rewards costs are expected to be the largest variable cost to our business for the foreseeable future and, therefore, controlling these costs will have the greatest impact on our liquidity and capital resources. We anticipate the ability to lower rewards cost through the introduction of specific brand offers, additional sweepstakes, and virtual rewards into our rewards catalog, but there is no guarantee we will lower our rewards costs in the next 12 months. As we increase users of the Viggle App, we expect to generate increased revenue from the sale of digital media within our App and expect these sales to be a source of liquidity within the next 12 months. However, there is no guarantee that revenues will exceed rewards cost in the next 12 months or ever. We have the ability to control rewards cost through the restriction of new user acquisition, the limitation of point earning opportunities within the application, and the re-pricing of points in terms of how many are needed to redeem for purchased rewards within the App. In respect to our operating costs, employee salaries, cost of marketing expenditures, leases of office space, and research & development costs constitute the majority of our monthly operating expenses. With the exception of leased office space, our operating costs are expected to increase as we add users in order to sell more advertising, to create new features and functionality on the platform, to acquire new rewards, and to market the Viggle App over the next 12 months.  The overall level of expenses will be reflective of management's view of the current opportunities for the Viggle App within the marketplace.  We utilize significant computing resources to run our mobile platform and purchase certain server hardware; however, we lease the majority of needed computing hardware, bandwidth, and dedicated facilities. Accordingly, we can limit the cost of these servers to be in line with user growth.  The Company plans to carefully manage its growth and related costs to ensure it has sufficient capital resources to meet the goals of its business plan for the next 12 months.

The Company's 12-Month Plan for its Business (amounts in thousands)
 
The Company has projected the plan for its business for the next 12 months, which is subject to change resulting from both internal and external circumstances.   The Company's 12-month plan has not been reviewed for consistency with US GAAP, and has been prepared on a modified accrual basis.  The Company's 12-month plan is based on assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties.  Our 12-month plan represents our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our actual future results may be materially different from what we set forth below.
 
There is no assurance that the plan set forth will be successful. If implemented, actual results may vary significantly from the plan described in this Quarterly Report. We do not warrant or guarantee the foregoing.
 
The Company's current plan will require capital of approximately $18 million over the next 12-month period to cover the fixed expenses and capital needs of the Company, including employee payroll, marketing expenditures, server capacity, research and development, office space and capital expenditures. As of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has no funds available to draw on its credit lines to fund its operations (see Note 6 Loans Payable in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In order to meet its capital requirements for the next 12 months, the Company anticipates it will need approximately $18 million in new capital (in excess of the cash currently held by the Company). We believe revenue will continue to improve over the next 12 months as we sell more advertising within the App. Additionally, we believe that as our user base grows, we will be able to introduce specific brand offers, additional sweepstakes, and virtual rewards into our rewards catalog, which will help reduce cash required to fund rewards.  As our App becomes more popular, we plan to increase the number of points needed to redeem certain rewards, which in turn should reduce the cash required to fund rewards.  During the first half of Fiscal 2014, we increased our revenue and added new rewards to the catalog which required less cash to purchase than some of our previous rewards.  This enabled us to reduce our cash outlay for rewards. As we continue to add new items to our rewards catalog, we will focus on how those items are priced in points with the goal of reducing our cash outlay for rewards.  Although the increase in revenue and the addition of lower cost rewards suggest that we should be able to reduce our cash funding requirements over the next 12 months, there is no guarantee that we will be successful. Our ability to sell increasing amounts of advertising is dependent on the amount of registered active users and the activity of those users within the App.  It may be challenging to grow

33


revenue as the Company faces many competitors seeking to gather revenue in the same manner.  Advertising budgets can shift rapidly and the benefits previously seen by advertisers could shift away from mobile platforms to something new.  We may not be able to deliver enough users to our advertisers to grow revenue.  The level of engagement activity currently seen within the App may slow and the potential revenue per user would fall accordingly.  In addition, growing our user base makes us more attractive to advertisers, but will also increase our total rewards cost as new users earn points within the App.  We will need to increase our revenue per user above the average cash cost per user in order to achieve profitability.  There is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. Our ability to purchase rewards for greater discounts as we buy more may not be sustainable and we may reach a floor on the level of discounting.  We have no plan to materially adjust the overall points pricing within our rewards catalog; however, we may find a wholesale re-pricing necessary to reduce the cash needed to fund our rewards program.  Adjusting the points needed to redeem a reward may decrease our funding requirements, but may have the counter-balancing effect of discouraging user acceptance and satisfaction.
  
The actual amount of funds required for the next 12 months may vary depending upon the number of users, the rewards offered, the marketing and related expenses, the development costs for the launch of new features and product enhancements, and the speed with which prospective users enroll in the App.  In the event that the required cash is not funded from revenue, the Company will need to raise additional capital through either debt or equity financing.  Alternatively, the Company would need to revise its business plan to reduce its spending rate and delay certain projects that are part of its business plan based on the amount of capital available until additional capital is raised.

Commitments and Contingencies

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, watchpoints and engagement points, stock-based compensation, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, internal-use software, and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, there have been no significant changes related to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" (ASU No 2013-11"). ASU No. 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent the tax benefit is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law or if the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments are to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date and may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. We do not expect that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities & Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and

35



management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of December 31, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
 

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 17, 2012, the Company was served with patent infringement lawsuit filed on August 13, 2012 by Blue Spike, LLC ("Blue Spike") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division (Civil Action No. 6:12-CV-526). The lawsuit claims patent infringement under U.S. Patent numbers 7,346,472, 7,660,700, 7,949,494, and 8,214,715 in connection with the Company's audio recognition technology.

Blue Spike has commenced suits against numerous companies involving the same patent family, including Peer Media Technologies, Inc., The Echo Nest Corporation, Free Stream Media Corp., iPharro Media GmbH, iPharro Media, Inc., Shazam Entertainment, Ltd., Texas Instruments Incorporated, BIO-Key International, Inc., TuneSat, LLC, Vercury Inc., and SoundHound.

The Company denies that it is infringing any valid, enforceable claims of the asserted patents and intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. The Company filed its answer on October 3, 2012.

We are subject to litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate result of our outstanding legal matters cannot presently be determined, the Company does not expect that the ultimate disposition will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
 
Various portions of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including those set forth below and elsewhere in this report (amounts in thousands, except share data).

We have a history of losses, expect future losses and cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability.

We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flow from operations since our inception. We incurred net losses of $96.5 million and $91.4 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively. We incurred a net loss of $37.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $261.5 million as of that date. Although our revenue has grown significantly since inception, we have not achieved profitability and cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain our current revenue growth rate or realize sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions, increasing revenue throughout the year and keeping operating expenses below our revenue levels in order to achieve positive cash flows, none of which can be assured. If we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contained in our Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to remain a going concern because we have suffered recurring losses from operations and, at June 30, 2013, had deficiencies in working capital. We are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant revenues or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our largest stockholders and the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity and debt financing to continue development of our business and to generate revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. No assurance can be given that such equity and debt offerings will be successful or that development of our business will continue successfully.

If we are unable to successfully develop and market our products or features or our products or features do not perform as expected, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
 
With the release of any new product or any new features to an existing product, we are subject to the risks generally associated with new product or feature introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, delays in development and

37



implementation, and failure of new products or features to perform as expected. In order to introduce and market new or enhanced products or features successfully with minimal disruption in customer purchasing patterns and user experiences, we must manage the transition from existing products in the market. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop and market, on a timely basis, products, product enhancements or features that respond to technological advances by others, that our new products will adequately address the changing needs of the market or that we will successfully manage product transitions. Further, failure to generate sufficient cash from operations or financing activities to develop or obtain improved products and technologies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
In addition, our technology is under continual development. While certain aspects of the product may currently be functioning on a basic level, we must perform more testing to ensure that the different components work together effectively and the audio sampling and matching technology being developed by us is accurate, performs well and integrates with metadata and points systems. Although the product has been launched for use on Apple iOS and Android devices, there is no assurance that the product will generate sufficient income from brand and network advertisers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We distribute our products on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms, and if we are unable to maintain a good relationship with each of Apple and Google or if the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store were unavailable for any prolonged period of time, our business will suffer.

We distribute our products on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms. We believe that we have maintained a good relationship with both Apple and Google, but any deterioration in our relationship with either Apple or Google would materially harm our business and likely cause our stock price to decline. We are subject to each of Apple’s and Google’s standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on their respective storefronts. Each of Apple and Google has broad discretion to change its standard terms and conditions at any time. In addition, these standard terms and conditions can be vague and subject to changing interpretations by Apple or Google. Any change in these standard terms and conditions, or in Apple’s or Google’s interpretation of these standard terms and conditions, could materially harm our business, and we may not receive any advance warning of such change. In addition, each of Apple and Google have the right to prohibit a developer from distributing its applications on its storefront if the developer violates its standard terms and conditions. In the event that either Apple or Google ever determines that we are in violation of its standard terms and conditions, including by a new interpretation, and prohibits us from distributing our applications on its storefront, it would materially harm our business and likely cause our stock price to significantly decline. We also rely on the continued function of the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, as we distribute our products exclusively through these two digital storefronts. There have been occasions in the past when these digital storefronts were unavailable for short periods of time. In the event that either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, it would have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock that would dilute your ownership.

We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations and acquisitions and to develop strategic relationships, by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing common stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our common stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our common stock. The holders of any debt securities or instruments we may issue would likely have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders.

Since we are controlled by our current insiders and their affiliates, you and our other non-management stockholders will be unable to affect the outcome in matters requiring stockholder approval.

Mr. Sillerman beneficially owns or has the power to vote more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, Mr. Sillerman essentially has the ability to elect all of our directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder action, without the vote of any other stockholders. It is possible that the interests of Mr. Sillerman could conflict in certain circumstances with those of other stockholders. Such concentrated ownership may also make it difficult for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of common stock in the event we merge with a third party or enter into other transactions that require stockholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.


35



We rely on key members of management, and the loss of their services could adversely affect our success and development.

Our success depends on the expertise and continued service of Mr. Sillerman and certain other key executives and technical personnel. These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and ability to meet our business objectives. In particular, our success is highly dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers and our directors, particularly Mr. Sillerman. It may be difficult to find a sufficiently qualified individual to replace Mr. Sillerman or other key executives in the event of death, disability or resignation, resulting in our being unable to satisfactorily execute our business. The loss of one or more of our executive officers and directors could slow the growth of our business, or it may cease to operate at all, which may result in the total loss of an investor’s investment.

Compensation may be paid to our executive officers, directors and employees regardless of our profitability, which may limit our ability to finance our business and adversely affect our business.

Mr. Sillerman and other executive officers are receiving compensation, and other current and future employees of our company may be entitled to receive compensation, payments and reimbursements regardless of whether we operate at a profit or a loss. Any compensation received by Mr. Sillerman or any other senior executive in the future will be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee. Such obligations may negatively affect our cash flow and our ability to finance our business, which could cause our business to fail.

Some of our executive officers and directors may have conflicts of interest in business opportunities that may be disadvantageous to us.

Mr. Sillerman and Mitchell J. Nelson, our Executive Vice President, Secretary and a director, are each engaged in other business endeavors, including Circle Entertainment Inc. (“Circle”), of which Mr. Sillerman is a director and Mr. Nelson is an executive officer. Mr. Sillerman is also the Chairman of SFX, a company in the live entertainment business. Under Mr. Sillerman’s employment agreement, he is obligated to devote his working time to our affairs, but may continue to perform his responsibilities as an executive officer of SFX and as a director of Circle, and may be involved in other outside non-competitive businesses. Mr. Sillerman has agreed to present to us any business opportunities related to or appropriate for our business. Pursuant to Mr. Nelson’s employment agreement, he is obligated to devote such time and attention to the affairs of our company as is necessary for him to perform his duties as Executive Vice President. He is also entitled to perform similar functions for Circle and performs general legal duties for SFX pursuant to the shared services agreements described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in this prospectus. In addition, our newest director, Michael Meyer, is a member of the board of directors and chair of the audit committee of Circle and is also a member of the board of directors of SFX. Although Circle, SFX and our company have generally different business plans, interests and programs, it is conceivable there may be a conflict of interest in determining where a potential opportunity should be brought. Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of corporate policy, except under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, as set forth in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics also sets forth the procedures to follow in the event that a potential conflict of interest arises. For a description of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, please see the section entitled “Corporate Governance” below.

Our business and growth may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key officers or employees.

Our ability to expand operations to accommodate our anticipated growth will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified media, management, finance, marketing, sales and technical personnel. However, competition for these types of employees is intense due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Our ability to meet our business development objectives will depend in part on our ability to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand our technology and business. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard. If we are unable to engage and retain the necessary personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We are uncertain of our ability to manage our growth.

Our ability to grow our business is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to hire, train and assimilate management and other employees, the adequacy of our financial resources, our ability to identify and efficiently provide such new products and services as our customers may require in the future, and our ability to adapt our own systems to accommodate expanded operations.

Because of pressures from competitors with more resources, we may fail to implement our business strategy profitably.

The digital and mobile technology business is highly fragmented, extremely competitive, and subject to rapid change. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We believe that our ability to

36



compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of new solutions and enhancements to existing businesses developed by us and our competitors. We are an entertainment company that utilizes digital media and Smartphone technology. If we are successful, larger and more established entertainment companies, with significantly greater resources, may try to enter the market with similar technologies, and may be in better competitive positions than we are. Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple digital brands and products and can easily shift consumption from one provider to another. Our principal competitors are in segments such as:

•
Applications promoting social TV experiences and discussions; and
•
White label providers of social media and media-specific applications.

Additionally, new competitors may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost. Either existing or new competitors may develop new technologies, and our existing and potential advertisers may shift their advertising expenditures to these new technologies. We cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully execute our business in the face of such competition.

We may be unable to compete with larger or more established companies in two industries.

We face a large and growing number of competitors in the digital and mobile technology and entertainment industries. If we successfully combine digital and mobile technology with entertainment, we will have competitors from both the digital and mobile technology and entertainment industries. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and more established relationships in these industries than do we. As a result, certain of these competitors may be in better positions to compete with us for customers and audiences. Further, our current and/or future competitors in the digital and mobile technology industry may develop or license technology that is similar to the Viggle app. We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.

Failure to successfully combine and integrate the business of Wetpaint in the expected time frame may adversely affect our future results.

The success of our acquisition of Wetpaint will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the business of Wetpaint with our existing business. To realize these anticipated benefits, the businesses of Wetpaint must be successfully integrated and combined. If users of each of the Wetpaint and Viggle services do not prove to have an affinity to the new complementary services they are introduced to, results of the combination could be worse than anticipated. Our management may face significant challenges in consolidating Wetpaint’s functions with ours, integrating the technologies, organizations, procedures, policies and operations, as well as addressing the different business cultures at the two companies, and retaining key personnel. If Wetpaint is not successfully integrated, the anticipated benefits of our acquisition of Wetpaint may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. The integration may also be complex and time consuming, and require substantial resources and effort. The integration process and other disruptions resulting from our acquisition of Wetpaint may also disrupt each company’s ongoing businesses and/or adversely affect their relationships with employees, users, and others with whom they have business or other dealings.

Since Wetpaint is a private company, we may be required to expend substantial sums in order to bring it into compliance with the various reporting requirements applicable to public companies and/or to prepare required financial statements, and such efforts may harm our operating results or be unsuccessful altogether.

Wetpaint is not subject to many of the requirements applicable to public companies, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires that Wetpaint evaluate and report on its system of internal controls. In addition, we will need to evaluate and integrate the system of internal controls for Wetpaint. We did not conduct a formal evaluation of Wetpaint’s internal controls over financial reporting prior to our acquisition of Wetpaint. If our finance and accounting staff or internal controls over financial reporting are inadequate, we may be required to hire additional staff and incur substantial legal and accounting costs to address such inadequacies. Moreover, we cannot be certain that our remedial measures will be effective. Any failure to implement required or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or increase its risk of material weaknesses in internal controls.

We will incur significant transaction and merger-related transition costs in connection with our acquisition of Wetpaint.

We expect we will incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the acquisition of Wetpaint and integrating the operations of Wetpaint. We may incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and to retain key employees. We may also incur significant fees and expenses relating to financing arrangements and legal, accounting and other transaction fees and costs associated with the acquisition of Wetpaint.

If we do not continue to develop and offer compelling content, products and services and attract new consumers or maintain the engagement of our existing consumers, our advertising revenues could be adversely affected.
In order to attract consumers and maintain or increase engagement on Viggle and Wetpaint properties, we believe we must offer compelling content, products and services. Acquiring, developing and offering new content, products and services, as well as new functionality, features and enhanced performance of our existing content, products and services, may require significant investment and time to develop. In addition, consumer tastes are difficult to predict and subject to rapid change. If we are unable to develop online content, products and services that are attractive and relevant to Viggle and Wetpaint users, we may not be able to maintain or increase our existing users’ engagement on or attract new consumers to Viggle and Wetpaint properties and as a result our search rankings, traffic and usage metrics, and advertising revenues may be adversely affected.

Wetpaint relies on social media posts to drive traffic to its websites. Changes in rules, algorithms, and display formats of social media sites could result in a reduction in such traffic.

Wetpaint relies on posts on various social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, to drive users to its websites. In the event that Facebook or Twitter changes their respective terms and conditions to prevent such activity by Wetpaint, Wetpaint’s user numbers could decrease. Further, these platforms change their algorithms and application programming interfaces, or API’s, in the ordinary course of business, often without notice or explanation to publishers. Changes to these algorithms and API’s may reduce the effectiveness of Wetpaint’s publishing capabilities, and result in temporary or permanent reductions to the net numbers of fans and followers added each month, as well as the rate at which Wetpaint content is displayed to users and clicked upon. In such cases, traffic to Wetpaint websites could be adversely affected.

Wetpaint relies upon traffic from search engines such as Google to bring an influx of website visitors each month. Search engine traffic is dynamic in nature, and is subject to an ever-changing mix of user-entered keywords, competitive offerings, and algorithmic fluctuations by the search engines themselves.

Search engines such as Google represent a significant source of Wetpaint traffic, and the originating source for many users who become Wetpaint fans and followers on the social networks. The ranking of Wetpaint content in the various search engines is always changing, and relates to algorithmic assessments by the search engines compared to offerings that compete with Wetpaint. The popular keywords for which Wetpaint ranks highly could subside in their popularity, or Wetpaint may fail to maintain the rankings that it has had for such keywords. In addition, as new keywords become popular, Wetpaint content may fail to rank highly for those keywords.

If Wetpaint does not maintain talent, access, and reputation among sources for news stories, we would lose access to stories and our traffic and revenues could suffer.

Wetpaint is reliant upon an editorial organization and freelance talent that secures proprietary access to stories that interest our audience. Our ability to identify and create content that interests the audience is dependent on maintaining and growing our access to talent and sources. If we lose key editorial talent, or our reputation is not maintained, we could lose our ability to create the content that garners audience interests, and traffic and our revenues could be adversely affected.

If our products do not achieve market acceptance, we may not have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or further development.

While we believe that a viable market exists for our products, there is no assurance that our technology will prove to be an attractive alternative to conventional or competitive products in the markets that we have identified. In the event that a viable market for our products cannot be created for our business or our products do not achieve market acceptance, we may need to commit greater resources than are currently available to develop a commercially viable and competitive product. There can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources to fund such development or that such development would be successful. Further, our business requires the use of capital resources to purchase rewards for our rewards program, as discussed more fully above in the section entitled “The Company’s 12-Month Plan for its Business.” In addition, as we grow our number of monthly active users, our rewards costs will increase. We will need to increase our revenue per monthly active user in order to cover our rewards costs and to become profitable; there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. Additionally, there is no guarantee that we will have sufficient resources to fund our rewards program, which will have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. In addition, if our products do not generate sufficient revenues, or we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be unable to fund our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend on financial, economic and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that, when required, sufficient funds will be available to us on satisfactory terms.

38




Our business will suffer if our network systems fail or become unavailable.

A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure would harm our ability to distribute our products to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain users and content providers. Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Our systems could also be subject to viruses, break-ins, sabotage, acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, hacking, cyber-terrorism and similar misconduct. We might not carry adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of products, or an increase in response time, could result in a loss of potential customers or content providers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, our products and services could be less attractive to our users and our business would be materially harmed.

If we fail to detect fraud, including click fraud, other invalid clicks on ads, or improper engagements, we could lose the confidence of our current and potential advertiser clients, incur additional costs, or both, which would cause our business to suffer.

We are exposed to the risk of fraudulent and other invalid clicks or conversions that advertisers may perceive as undesirable or that may cost us additional money for points given in connection with such activity. While our terms and conditions limit one account per person and we have specific controls in place to avoid fraud, such as limiting the number of accounts allowed per device and the number of points per day, there is no assurance that our controls will be effective. As a result, estimates of our registered users, monthly active users or other statistical information may be inflated as there may be some instances of double-counting users. We are aware that some people will attempt to evade our rules in an effort to accumulate excess points through a multitude of methods including, but not limited to, establishing multiple accounts, mimicking app activity through “scripting,” and using multiple devices simultaneously. We monitor our users to determine if any are attempting to do so and consider this fraudulent activity a violation of our published terms and conditions. We invalidate users whom we believe to violate these terms and conditions and continually make efforts to improve our systems to detect fraud and improve our defenses. Through December 31, 2013, we have invalidated 206,338 accounts for suspicious activity of a total of 3,690,832 registered accounts. Invalid clicks could result from inadvertent clicks or click fraud, where a mobile device user intentionally clicks on ads for reasons other than to access the underlying content of the ads. If fraudulent or other malicious activity is perpetrated by others, and we are unable to detect and prevent it, the affected advertisers may experience or perceive a reduced return on their investment. High levels of invalid click activity could lead to dissatisfaction with our advertising services, refusals to pay, refund demands or withdrawal of future business. If fraudulent or other malicious activity occurs, and we are unable to detect and prevent it, we could also experience increased costs relating to awarding points as a result of these activities. Any of these occurrences could damage our brand and lead to a loss of advertisers and revenue and increased costs.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights from third-party claims and litigation, which could be expensive, divert management’s attention, and harm our business.

Our success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our proprietary rights and our ability to avoid infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We seek patent protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us. Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products that may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party products that compete with our products and processes. In the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our products, processes, patents or licenses, or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property and other contractual agreements for our business will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated.

In addition, we use open source software in our services and will continue to use open source software in the future. From time to time, we may be subject to claims brought against companies that incorporate open source software into their products or

39



services, claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the source code, the open source software and/or derivative works that were developed using such software, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to changing our products or services, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

We are currently a defendant in an action commenced by Blue Spike, LLC, alleging patent infringement in connection with our audio recognition technology. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against this lawsuit.

The SEC opened a formal order of investigation relating to a matter regarding certain dealings in our securities by an unaffiliated third party. In addition, we have also received an informal request from the SEC for the voluntary production of documents and information concerning certain aspects of our business and technology. Although we have provided documents in response to the SEC’s request, there is no assurance that the SEC will not take any action against us.

The SEC opened a formal order of investigation relating to a matter regarding certain dealings in our securities by an unaffiliated third party. We have also received an informal request from the staff of the SEC, dated June 11, 2012, for the voluntary production of documents and information concerning certain aspects of our business and technology. We initially provided documents in response to such request on July 2, 2012, and we have provided supplements and documents for additional questions, as requested. We intend to cooperate with the SEC regarding this matter and any other requests we may receive. However, there is no assurance that the SEC will not take any action against us. A determination by the SEC to take action against us could be costly and time consuming, could divert the efforts and attention of our directors, officers and employees from the operation of our business and could result in sanctions against us, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Changes to federal, state or international laws or regulations applicable to our business could adversely affect our business.

Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to privacy, advertising generally, consumer protection, content regulation, intellectual property, defamation, child protection, advertising to and collecting information from children, taxation, employment classification and billing. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.

There are many federal, state and international laws that may affect our business, including measures to regulate consumer privacy, the use of copyrighted material, the collection of certain data, network neutrality, patent protection, cyber security, child protection, subpoena and warrant processes, taxes and tax reporting (including issuing IRS 1099 forms to our users), gift cards, employee classification, employee health care, and others. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.

In addition, most states have enacted legislation governing the breach of data security in which sensitive consumer information is released or accessed. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
 
Many of our potential partners are subject to industry specific laws, regulations or licensing requirements, including in the following industries: pharmaceuticals, online gaming, alcohol, adult content, tobacco, firearms, insurance, securities brokerage, real estate, sweepstakes, free trial offers, automatic renewal services and legal services. If any of our advertising partners fail to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, our business could be adversely affected. Furthermore, these laws may also limit the way we advertise our products and services or cause us to incur compliance costs, which could affect our revenues and could further adversely impact our business.
 
There are a number of significant matters under review and discussion with respect to government regulations which may affect the business we intend to enter and/or harm our customers, and thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


40



Our business has substantial indebtedness.

We currently have, and will likely continue to have, a substantial amount of indebtedness. Our indebtedness could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations, require us to use a large portion of our cash flow from operations to repay and service our debt or otherwise create liquidity problems, limit our flexibility to adjust to market conditions, place us at a competitive disadvantage and expose us to interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2013, we had total debt outstanding of approximately $30 million. We expect to obtain the money to pay our expenses and pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness from cash flow from our operations and potentially from other debt or equity offerings. Accordingly, our ability to meet our obligations depends on our future performance and capital raising activities, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources prove inadequate to allow us to pay the principal and interest on our debt and meet our other obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations, restructure or refinance our debt, which we may be unable to do on acceptable terms, and forgo attractive business opportunities. In addition, the terms of our existing or future debt agreements may restrict us from pursuing any of these alternatives.

Our earnings are subject to substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations and to market downturns.
 
Our revenues and earnings may fluctuate significantly in the future. General economic or other political conditions may cause a downturn in the market for our products or services. Despite the recent improvements in market conditions, a future downturn in the market for our products or services could adversely affect our operating results and increase the risk of substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations in our earnings. Our future operating results may be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to: our ability to retain existing or secure anticipated advertisers and publishers; our ability to develop, introduce and market new products and services on a timely basis; changes in the mix of products developed, produced and sold; and disputes with our advertisers and publishers.  These factors affecting our future earnings are difficult to forecast and could harm our quarterly and/or annual operating results.
 
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies.  As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our compliance costs in Fiscal 2014 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly.  As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.  As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.
 
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately and timely or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity and Use of Proceeds (amounts in thousands, except for share information )

On November 25, 2013, as part of a PIPE Exchange, the Company and the LOC Investors entered into exchange agreements pursuant to which the LOC Investors agreed to exchange: (a) a total of 191,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and (b) warrants to purchase 191,000 shares of the Company's common stock that they had received in the PIPE Transactions for: (i) a total of 955 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) a total of 439.3 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As a condition of such exchange, the LOC Investors committed to fund a total of $955 under the New $25,000 Line of Credit, and the Company drew on those commitments on November 25, 2013. The debt to the LOC Investors is subordinate to the Company's Term Loan Agreement with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. As part of such draw, the Company also issued to the LOC Investors warrants to purchase 955,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1 per share. These warrants are exercisable for 5 years. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants

41



issued to the LOC Investors were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereunder and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. 

On December 16, 2013, the Company, and Viggle Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Viggle (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Wetpaint.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wetpaint”), certain stockholders of Wetpaint (solely with respect to Articles 1, 5 and 6 and Subsection 11.1) and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (solely in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Agent), pursuant to which Wetpaint became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued 43,273,691 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the former shareholders of Wetpaint.
