1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying financial statements present the financial results of Majesco Entertainment Company and Majesco Europe Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary, (“Majesco” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis.
 
The Company is a provider of video game products primarily for the mass-market consumer. It sells its products primarily to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, and distributors. It publishes video games for major current generation interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One and the personal computer, or PC. It also publishes games for digital platforms, including mobile platforms like the iPhone, iPad and Android devices, as well as online sites such as Microsoft’s XBLA, Sony’s PSN and Steam for PCs.
 
The Company’s video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points. Due to the larger budget requirements for developing and marketing premium console titles for core gamers, it focuses on publishing more casual games targeting mass-market consumers. In some instances, its titles are based on licenses of well-known properties and, in other cases, based on original properties. The Company enters into agreements with content providers and video game development studios for the creation of its video games.
 
The Company’s operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed and sold domestically and internationally. The Company may also enter into agreements with licensees, particularly for sales of its products internationally. The Company is centrally managed and its chief operating decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and other financial information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in a single reportable segment.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Company’s financial results are impacted by the seasonality of the retail selling season and the timing of the release of new titles. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at October 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on January 29, 2015.
 
Reverse Stock Split. In 2013, the Company received a notification letter from NASDAQ notifying it that it was not in compliance with its $1.00 minimum bid price requirement because the bid price for the Company’s common stock closed below $1.00 over the prior 30 consecutive business days. To regain compliance with this requirement, we completed a reverse stock split, which was effected on June 13, 2014 at a ratio of one-for-seven with no change in par value. All share information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q gives effect to the reverse stock split.
 
Going Concern Basis. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As of January 31, 2015, management believes that there may not be sufficient capital resources from operations and existing financing arrangements in order to meet operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company is evaluating various alternatives, including reducing operating expenses and personnel costs, securing additional financing for future business activities and other strategic alternatives including a sale or merger of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate the level of operating revenues in its business plan, or if additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If no additional sources of financing are available, it could have a material effect on future operating prospects.
