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, (together, “Majesco” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis.
 
The Company is a provider of video game products primarily for the, casual-game consumer. It publishes video games for almost all 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 sells its products through two sales channels, retail and digital. It sells to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video game rental outlets and distributors. It also publishes games for numerous digital platforms such as Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, or PSN and Steam, and, prior to 2014, iOS and Android mobile devices and online platforms.
 
Its 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 has focused on publishing more lower-cost games targeting casual-game consumers and independent game developer fans. In some instances, its titles are based on licenses of well-known properties and, in other cases, original properties. It enters into agreements with content providers and video game development studios for the creation of our video games.
 
Its operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed and sold domestically and internationally. The Company is centrally managed and our chief operating decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and other financial information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, it operates in a single 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 the NASDAQ Capital Market (“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 April 30, 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.
