NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2010

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

The Company provides high definition and standard definition digital mastering, data conversion, video and film asset management and sophisticated computer graphics services to owners, producers and distributors of entertainment and advertising content.  The Company provides the services necessary to edit, master, reformat, convert, archive and ultimately distribute its clients’ film and video content, including television programming feature films and movie trailers. The Company’s interconnected facilities provide service coverage to all major U.S. media centers. Clients include major motion picture studios, advertising agencies and corporations.  The Company also rents and sells DVDs and video games directly to consumers through its Movie>Q retail stores.
 
The Company operates in a single business segment from six post production and three Movie>Q locations, as the Company’s Movie>Q business is insignificant to the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations.  Each post production location is electronically tied to the others and serves the same customer base.  Depending on the location size, the production equipment consists of tape duplication, feature movie and commercial ad editing, encoding, standards conversion, and other machinery.  Each location employs personnel with the skills required to efficiently run the equipment and handle customer requirements.  While all locations are not exactly the same, an order received at one location may be fulfilled at one or more “sister” facilities to use resources in the most efficient manner.
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, including those of the Company’s subsidiaries.  The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Typically, a feature film or television show will be submitted to a facility by a motion picture studio, independent producer, advertising agency, or corporation for processing and distribution.  A common sales force markets the Company’s capability for all facilities.  Once an order is received, the local customer service representative determines the most cost-effective way to perform the services considering geographical logistics and facility capabilities.
 
In fiscal 2010, the Company purchased assets and intellectual property for a research and development project to address the viability of the DVD and video game rental business being abandoned by the closure of Movie Gallery/Hollywood Video and Blockbuster stores.  The DVD rental market consists principally of online services (Netflix), vending machines (Redbox) and large video stores.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had opened three Movie>Q “proof-of-concept” stores in Southern California.  The stores employ an automated inventory management (“AIM”) system in a 1,200-1,600 square foot facility.  By saving space and personnel costs which caused the big box stores to be uncompetitive with lower priced online and vending machine rental alternatives, Movie>Q can offer up to 10,000 unit selections to a customer at competitive rental rates.  Movie>Q provides online reservations, an in-store destination experience, first run movie and game titles and a large unit selection (as opposed to 400-700 for a Redbox vending machine).
 
Based on the success of the proof-of-concept, the Company may seek to rapidly expand the number of Movie>Q stores while further streamlining the design and production of the AIM system.  Movie>Q provides the Company with a content distribution capability complimentary to the Company’s post production business.
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations for reporting interim financial statements and footnotes.  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 month period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2010.  Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Earnings Per Share
 
A reconciliation of the denominator of the basic EPS computation to the denominator of the diluted EPS computation is as follows (in thousands):

    22       98  
 
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was the same amount for both basic and diluted income or loss per share in each of the periods presented.  The effect of potentially dilutive securities at September 30, 2010 and 2009 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Company reported a net loss, and the effect of inclusion would be antidilutive (i.e., including such securities would result in a lower loss per share).  These potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options whose exercise price is less than the Company’s stock price at September 30, 2010.  The number of potentially dilutive shares at September 30, 2010 was 665,575.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
As of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and interest payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.  The carrying value of other long-term liabilities approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows a framework for consistently measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and the disclosures of fair value measurements. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy to classify the source of the information.  

            The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value and include the following:

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

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
  
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash, the only Level 1 input applicable to the Company (there are no Level 2 or 3 inputs), is stated on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. Specifically, the updated accounting standard requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices.  The guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires use of the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables.  The guidance is effective as of January 2011 with early adoption permitted. We intend to adopt the provisions of the guidance as of January 1, 2011 which is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

 
6

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.”  This guidance amends the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements and requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 - LONG TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE

In August 2009 the Company entered into a credit agreement which provides up to $5 million of revolving credit based on 80% of acceptable accounts receivables, as defined.  The 15 month agreement provides for interest of either (1) prime (3.25% at September 30, 2010)  minus .5% - plus .5% or (2) LIBOR plus 2.0% - 3.0% depending on the level of the Company’s ratio of outstanding debt to fixed charges (as defined), or 3.75% or 3.48%, respectively, on September  30, 2010.  The facility is secured by all of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company owed $400,000 under the credit agreement.  The amount outstanding under the credit agreement is the result of a draw made on a standby letter of credit by our Media Center landlord.  Under the lease, the Company is required to maintain a $500,000 lease deposit or standby letter of credit until April 1, 2011.  The $500,000 has been recorded as a deposit in “Other assets, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2010.
 
Our bank revolving credit agreement requires us to maintain a minimum “leverage ratio” and “fixed charge coverage ratio.” The leverage ratio compares tangible assets to total liabilities (excluding the deferred real estate gain).  Our fixed charge coverage ratio compares, on a rolling twelve-month basis, (i) EBITDA plus rent expense and non-cash charges less income tax payments, to (ii) interest expense plus rent expense, the current portion of long term debt and maintenance capital expenditures.  As of September 30, 2010, the leverage ratio was 1.70 compared to a minimum requirement of 1.75, and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 0.21 as compared to a minimum requirement of 1.10.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with the leverage and fixed charge ratios, and received a forbearance from the bank.  The forbearance period extends to December 31, 2010, during which time the amount available under the credit agreement will be limited to the outstanding $400,000.  The entire balance is due on December 31, 2010.

In July 2008, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with a bank (the “note”) in order to purchase land and a building that had been occupied by the Company since 1998 (the total purchase price was approximately $8.1 million).  Pursuant to the note, the company borrowed $6,000,000 payable in monthly installments of principal and interest on a fully amortized base over 30 years at an initial five-year interest rate of 7.1% and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.6% (6.4% as of the purchase date).  The mortgage debt is secured by the land and building.

 In June 2009, the Company entered into a $3,562,500 Purchase Money Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust for the purchase of land and a building.  The note bears interest at 7% fixed for ten years.  The principal amount of the note is payable on June 12, 2019.  The note is secured by the property.

On December 30, 2005, the Company entered into a $10 million term loan agreement.  The term loan provides for interest at LIBOR (0.48% as of September 30, 2010) plus 3.15%, or 3.63% on that date, and is secured by equipment.  The term loan will be repaid in 60 equal monthly principal payments plus interest.  In March 2006, $4 million of the term loan was prepaid.  Monthly principal payments were subsequently reduced pro rata.  On March 30, 2007, the Company entered into an additional $2.5 million term loan agreement.  The Loan provides for interest at 8.35% per annum and is secured by equipment.  The loan will be repaid in 45 equal monthly installments of principal and interest.  The term loans are scheduled to be repaid completely by December 31, 2010.

In November 2010, the Company converted approximately $1 million of accounts payable into a note secured by a lien of all the Company’s assets.  The note is due in 48 monthly installments of $20,000 plus interest at 3% per annum.  The total amount due under the note is subject to a 12.5% or 6% discount if completely paid within 12 months or 18 months, respectively.

NOTE 3- PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
In March 2006, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction with respect to its Media Center vaulting real estate.  The real estate was sold for approximately $14.0 million resulting in a $1.3 million after tax gain.  Additionally, the Company received $0.5 million from the purchaser for improvements.  In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification, the gain will be amortized over the initial 15-year lease term as reduced rent.  Net proceeds at the closing of the sale and improvement advance (approximately $13.8 million) were used to pay off the mortgage and other outstanding debt.

 
7

 
 
The lease is treated as an operating lease for financial reporting purposes.  After the initial lease term, the Company has four five-year options to extend the lease. Minimum annual rent payments for the initial five years of the lease are $1,111,000, increasing annually thereafter based on the Consumer Price Index change from year to year.
 
Property and equipment consist of the following as of September 30, 2010:
 
Land
  $ 3,985,000  
Building
    9,245,000

NOTE 4- CONTINGENCIES

In July 2008, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the Superior court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles by Aryana Farshad and Aryana F. Productions, Inc.  (“Farshad”).  The complaint alleges that Point.360 and its janitorial cleaning company failed to exercise reasonable care for the protection and preservation of Farshad’s film footage which was lost.  As a result of the defendants’ negligence, Farshad claims to have suffered damages in excess of $2 million and additional unquantified general and special damages.  The lawsuit was settled in October 2010 for $120,000, which amount was recorded as a liability at September 30, 2010.
 
On October 6, 2009, DG FastChannel, Inc. (“DGFC”) filed a claim in the United States District Court Central District of California, alleging that the Company violated certain provisions of agreements governing transactions related to the August 13, 2007 sale of the Company’s advertising distribution business to DGFC.  DGFC alleges that (i) the Company did not fulfill its obligation to restrict a former employee from competing against DGFC subsequent to the transaction and, therefore, DGFC does not owe the Company $412,500 related to that portion of the transaction; (ii) the Company violated the noncompetition agreement between DGFC and the Company by distributing advertising content after the transaction; (iii) due to the violation of the noncompetition agreement, the post production services agreement that required DGFC to continue to vault its customers’ physical elements at the Company’s Media Center became null and void; and (iv) the Company must return all of DGFC’s vaulted material to DGFC.  DGFC also sought unspecified monetary damages.
 
In September 2010, a settlement between the parties included the following:  (1) The Company will be subject to a permanent injunction (until August 13, 2012) from competing in the commercial spot advertising  business (as defined), (2) the Company will deliver to DGFC vaulted elements which will result in an annual reduction of vaulting revenues of approximately $0.9 million, (3) the Company will not be entitled to $412,500 (relating to the working capital reconciliation), (4) the Company will issue 250,000 shares of common stock to DGFC and (5) the parties will enter into full mutual releases and will dismiss their respective claims with prejudice.  In connection with the settlement, the Company has indemnified a related party against possible losses should DGFC exercise its right to put the stock to the related party on a specified future date, and there is a negative difference between the stated $500,000 value of the stock ($2.00 per share) and the market value on the date of the put.  The put may be exercised on the six-month anniversary of the settlement agreement. As of September 30, 2010 the Company has issued the 250,000 shares of common stock to DGFC and accrued approximately $0.4 million of estimated legal, vault removal and other costs associated with the settlement.

In November 2010, DGFC filed an ex parte application for enforcement of the settlement agreement and related stipulated injunction alleging that the Company violated the terms thereof and seeking an order enforcing the settlement agreement, an order to assess civil contempt charges and other remedies, and an order referring criminal allegations against the Company to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  The Company believes it has substantially performed its obligations under the settlement agreement and intends to defend its position.  Potential liability related to the outcome of the ex parte application cannot be determined at this time.  The Company has accrued estimated legal fees associated with this action.

From time to time, the Company may become a party to other legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, although it is not currently involved in any such material legal proceedings except as described above.

NOTE 5- INCOME TAXES

The Company reviewed its ASC 740-10 documentation for the periods through September 30, 2010 to ascertain if any changes should be made with respect to tax positions previously taken. In addition, the Company reviewed its income tax reporting through September 30, 2010.  Based on Company’s review of its tax positions as of September 30, 2010, no new uncertain tax positions have resulted nor has new information become available that would change management’s judgment with respect to tax positions previously taken.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company's net deferred tax assets were nil.  No tax benefit was recorded during the three  month period ended September 30, 2010 because future realizability of such benefit was not considered to be more likely than not.  At September 30, 2010, the Company had a gross deferred tax asset of $9.6 million, and a corresponding valuation allowance of $9.6 million.  At June 30, 2010, the Company had a gross deferred tax asset of $7.6 million, and a corresponding valuation allowance of $7.6 million.

The Accounting Standards Codification prescribes a recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002. The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. The Company was last audited by New York taxing authorities for the years 2002 through 2004 resulting in no change.  The Company was previously notified by the U.S Internal Revenue Service of its intent to audit the calendar 2005 tax return.  The audit has since been cancelled by the IRS without change; however, the audit could be reopened at the IRS’ discretion.

The Company was notified by the IRS in September 2009 of its intent to audit federal tax returns for calendar year 2006 and the period from January 1 to August 13, 2007.

The Company was notified by the IRS in November 2009 of its intent to audit the federal tax return for the fiscal ended June 30, 2008.  The audit was subsequently withdrawn.

During fiscal 2010, the Company received a federal tax refund of approximately $0.4 million related to refunds due for tax year 2005.  In July 2010, the Company received a refund of $1.5 million related to tax year 2006.

NOTE 6- STOCK OPTION PLAN, STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2007, the Board of Directors approved the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”).  The 2007 Plan provides for the award of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, appreciation rights and restricted stock awards.
 
Under the 2007 Plan, the stock option price per share for options granted is determined by the Board of Directors and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and each option is exercisable within the period and in the increments as determined by the Board, except that no option can be exercised later than ten years from the grant date.  The stock options generally vest in one to five years.
 
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values.  We also estimate the fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest to be recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 included compensation expense for the share-based payment awards based on the grant date fair value.  For stock-based awards issued to employees and directors, stock-based compensation is attributed to expense using the straight-line single option method.  As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods reported in this Form 10-Q is based on awards expected to vest, forfeitures are also estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. For the periods being reported in this Form 10-Q, expected forfeitures are immaterial. The Company will re-assess the impact of forfeitures if actual forfeitures increase in future quarters.  Stock-based compensation expense related to employee or director stock options recognized for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 was $67,000.

The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant uses the Black-Scholes model, which is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables.  These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock options exercise behaviors. The Company estimates expected volatility using historical data. The expected term is estimated using the “safe harbor” provisions provided by the SEC.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted a stock option award of 15,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.27 per share.

As of September 30, 2010, there were options outstanding to acquire 1,633,250 shares at an average exercise price of $1.56 per share.  The estimated fair value of all awards granted during the three-month 2010 period was $10,000.  For the 2010 period, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate
    1.46 %
Expected term (years)
    5.0  
Volatility
    64 %

In addition to the above option plan, the Company issued 10,000 shares of restricted stock during fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

We use the detailed method provided in ASC 718 for calculating the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of ASC 718.

NOTE 7- STOCK RIGHTS PLAN

In July 2007, the Company implemented a stock rights program.  Pursuant to the program, stockholders of record on August 7, 2007, received a dividend of one right to purchase for $10 one one-hundredth of a share of a newly created Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.  The rights are attached to the Company’s Common Stock and will also become attached to shares issued subsequent to August 7, 2007.  The rights will not be traded separately and will not become exercisable until the occurrence of a triggering event, defined as an accumulation by a single person or group of 20% or more of the Company’s Common Stock.  The rights will expire on August 6, 2017 and are redeemable at $0.0001 per right.

After a triggering event, the rights will detach from the Common Stock.  If the Company is then merged into, or is acquired by, another corporation, the Company has the opportunity to either (i) redeem the rights or (ii) permit the rights holder to receive in the merger stock of the Company or the acquiring company equal to two times the exercise price of the right (i.e., $20).  In the latter instance, the rights attached to the acquirer’s stock become null and void.  The effect of the rights program is to make a potential acquisition of the Company more expensive for the acquirer if, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, the offer is inadequate.

No triggering events occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

NOTE 9- STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

In February 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program.  Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may purchase outstanding shares of its common stock on the open market at such times and prices determined in the sole discretion of management.   No shares were acquired pursuant to the repurchase program during the three months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except for the historical information contained herein, certain statements in this quarterly report are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed herein, including but not limited to competition, customer and industry concentration, depending on technological developments, risks related to expansion, dependence on key personnel, fluctuating results and seasonality and control by management. See the relevant portions of  the Company's documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Risk Factors section of the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and Risk Factors in Item 1A of Part II of this Form 10-Q, for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to the Company's business.

Overview
 
Point.360 is one of the largest providers of video and film asset management services to owners, producers and distributors of entertainment content.  We provide the services necessary to edit, master, reformat and archive our clients’ film and video content, including television programming, feature films and movie trailers using electronic and physical means. Clients include major motion picture studios and independent producers.  The Company also rents and sells DVDs and video games directly to consumers through its Movie>Q retail stores.
 
We operate in a highly competitive environment in which customers desire a broad range of services at a reasonable price.  There are many competitors offering some or all of the services provided by us.  Additionally, some of our customers are large studios, which also have in-house capabilities that may influence the amount of work outsourced to companies like Point.360. We attract and retain customers by maintaining a high service level at reasonable prices.
 
The market for our services is primarily dependent on our customers’ desire and ability to monetize their entertainment content.  The major studios derive revenues from re-releases and/or syndication of motion pictures and television content.  While the size of this market is not quantifiable, we believe studios will continue to repurpose library content to augment uncertain revenues from new releases.  The current uncertain economic environment has negatively impacted the ability and willingness of independent producers to create new content.

 
12

 

The demand for entertainment content should continue to expand through web-based applications.  We believe long and short form content will be sought by users of personal computers, hand-held devices and home entertainment technology.  Additionally, changing formats from standard definition, to high definition, to Blu-Ray and perhaps to 3D will continue to give us the opportunity to provide new services with respect to library content.  We also believe that a potentially large consumer market exists for the rental of DVDs and video games, which market is being abandoned by “big box” DVD rental stores.
 
To meet these needs, we must be prepared to invest in technology and equipment, and attract the talent needed to serve our client needs.  Labor, facility and depreciation expenses constitute approximately 80% of our revenues.  Our goals include maximizing facility and labor usage, and maintaining sufficient cash flow for capital expenditures and acquisitions of complementary businesses to enhance our service offerings.
 
We continue to look for opportunities to solidify and expand our businesses.  During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 and the three months ended September 30, 2010, we have completed the following:
 
 
·
We consolidated our former Hollywood and Eden FX facilities into another  Company location.
 
 
·
We purchased assets and intellectual property in conjunction with a research and development project to create three “proof-of-concept” Movie>Q stores.
 
 
·
We developed the Movie>Q automated inventory system.
 
 
·
We closed down our New York facility due to continuing economic uncertainty in that market.
 
We have an opportunity to expand our business by establishing closer relationships with our customers through excellent service at a competitive price and adding to our service offering.  Our success is also dependent on attracting and maintaining employees capable of maintaining such relationships.  Also, growth can be achieved by acquiring similar businesses (for example, the acquisitions of IVC in July 2004, Eden FX in March 2007 and others) that can increase revenues by adding new customers, or expanding current services to existing customers. Additionally, we are looking to capitalize on the Movie>Q retail opportunity.
 
Our business generally involves the immediate servicing needs of our customers.  Most orders are fulfilled within several days, with occasional larger orders spanning weeks or months.  At any particular time, we have little firm backlog.
 
We believe that our interconnected facilities provide the ability to better service customers than single-location competitors.  We will look to expand both our service offering and geographical presence through acquisition of other businesses or opening additional facilities.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

Revenues.  Revenues were $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  Approximately $0.9 million of the decline in revenues in the current quarter were due to the move of the operations of one of our Hollywood facilities (“Highland”) to other Company locations.   We expect the negative effect on revenues to continue as we further consolidate post production facilities to maximize space utilization and reduce overhead.  Content storage revenues for the current quarter were reduced by $0.3 million due to the settlement of a lawsuit, which reduction will be ongoing.   As of June 30, 2010, we decided to close down our New York facility, which generated $0.2 million of revenue in the prior year quarter.  Although physical moves may adversely affect revenues in the short term, we will continue to search for operating efficiencies to increase income.  We are continuing to invest in high definition and digital capabilities where demand is expected to grow.   Our Point.360 Digital Film Lab (formerly IVC) revenues increased $0.4 million over the prior year quarter.  We believe our high definition and digital service platform will attract additional business in the future.

Cost of Services. Costs of services consist principally of wages and benefits, facility costs and depreciation of physical assets.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, total costs of services were 77.4% of sales compared to 78.1% in the prior year.   Our Hollywood operational costs were reduced by $0.3 million due to lower sales.  Additional cost reductions of $0.6 million were realized in the current quarter with the closure of our New York facility in June 2010.  Other costs remained consistent with the prior year period due to the fixed nature of our service infrastructure.

Gross Profit.  In the three months ended September 30, 2010, gross margin was 22.6% of sales, compared to 21.9% for the same period last year. The increase in gross profit percentage is due to the factors cited above.  From time to time, we will increase staff capabilities to satisfy potential customer demand. If the expected demand does not materialize, we will adjust personnel levels.  We expect gross margins to fluctuate in the future as the sales mix changes.

 
13

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.  SG&A expense was $3.6 million (44.0% of sales) in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $3.8 million (40.2% of sales) in the same period last year.  In the current period, the Company incurred $0.1 million of expense associated with the settlement of a legal action.
 
Research and Development Expense.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company undertook a research and development project to evaluate, develop and commercialize “automated” stores to rent and sell digital video discs (DVDs).  The Movie>Q stores will contain 10,000 DVDs for rent or sale via a software-controlled automated inventory management system  contained in 1,200 to 1,600 square feet of retail space for each store.  As of September 30, 2010, three Movie>Q stores were completed.  We will evaluate store performance during the coming holiday season to further test the operating model and validate our cost/revenue assumptions. Expenses associated with R&D activities were $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
 
Operating Income (Loss). Operating loss was $2.0 million in the fiscal 2011 period compared to $1.8 million in the fiscal 2010 period.
 
Interest Expense.   Net interest expense was $0.2 million in both the 2011 and 2010 periods.
 
Other Income. Other income represents principally sublease income and gain on sale of fixed assets.
 
Net Loss. Net loss was $2.0 million in both the fiscal 2011 and 2010 periods.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements and the corresponding information more fully described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
 
On December 30, 2005, the Company entered into a $10 million term loan agreement. The term loan provides for interest at LIBOR (0.48% at September 30, 2010) plus 3.15% (3.63% on that date) and is secured by the Company’s equipment. The term loan will be repaid in 60 equal principal payments plus interest.  On March 30, 2007, the Company entered into an additional $2.5 million term loan agreement. The loan provides for interest at 8.35% per annum and is secured by the Company’s equipment. The loan is being repaid in 45 equal monthly installments of principal and interest.  Both loans are scheduled to be repaid fully by December 31, 2010.
 
In March 2006, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction with respect to its Media Center vaulting real estate. The real estate was sold for $13,946,000 resulting in a $1.3 million after tax gain. Additionally, Old Point.360 received $500,000 from the purchaser for improvements.  In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840 “Accounting for Leases”, the gain and the improvement allowance will be amortized over the initial 15-year lease term as reduced rent. The mortgage debt is secured by the land and building.
 
In July 2008, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with a bank (the “Note”) in order to purchase land and a building that has been occupied by the Company since 1998 (the total purchase price was approximately $8.1 million).  Pursuant to the Note, the Company borrowed $6,000,000 payable in monthly installments of principal and interest on a fully amortized basis over 30 years at an initial five-year interest rate of 7.1% and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.6% (6.4% as of the purchase date). The mortgage debt is secured by the land and building.
 
In June 2009, the Company entered into a $3,562,500 million Purchase Money Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust for the purchase of land and a building (“Vine Property”).  The note bears interest at 7% fixed for ten years.  The principal amount of the note is payable on June 12, 2019.  The note is secured by the property.
 
In November 2010, the Company converted approximately $1 million of accounts payable into a note secured by a lien of all the Company’s assets.  The note is due in 48 monthly installments of $20,000 plus interest at 3% per annum.  The total amount due under the note is subject to a 12.5% or 6% discount if totally paid within 12 months or 18 months, respectively.
 
Monthly and annual principal and interest payments due under the term debt and mortgages are approximately $264,000 and $3.1 million, respectively, assuming no change in interest rates.

In August 2009 the Company entered into a credit agreement which provides up to $5 million of revolving credit based on 80% of acceptable accounts receivables, as defined.  The 15 month agreement provides for interest of either (1) prime (3.25% at September 30, 2010)  minus .5% - plus .5% or (2) LIBOR plus 2.0% - 3.0% depending on the level of the Company’s ratio of outstanding debt to fixed charges (as defined), or 3.75% or 3.48%, respectively, on September  30, 2010.  The facility is secured by all of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. As of September 30, 2010, the Company owed $400,000 under the credit agreement.

Our bank revolving credit agreement requires us to maintain a minimum “leverage ratio” and “fixed charge coverage ratio.” The leverage ratio compares tangible assets to total liabilities (excluding the deferred real estate gain).  Our fixed charge coverage ratio compares, on a rolling twelve-month basis, (i) EBITDA plus rent expense and non-cash charges less income tax payments, to (ii) interest expense plus rent expense, the current portion of long term debt and maintenance capital expenditures.  As of September 30, 2010, the leverage ratio was 1.70 compared to a minimum requirement of 1.75, and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 0.21 as compared to a minimum requirement of 1.10.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with the ratios and received a forbearance from the bank.  The forbearance period extends to December 31, 2010, during which time the amount available under the credit agreement will be limited to the outstanding $400,000.  The entire balance is due on December 31, 2010.
 
The following table summarizes the September 30, 2010 amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit, and term (including capital lease obligations) and mortgage loans:
 
Revolving credit

Cash generated by operating activities is directly dependent upon sales levels and gross margins achieved. We generally receive payments from customers in 60-120 days after services are performed. The larger payroll and facilities components of our cost structure must be paid currently.  Payment terms of other liabilities vary by vendor and type.   Fluctuations in sales levels will generally affect cash flow negatively or positively in early periods of growth or contraction, respectively, because of operating cash receipt/payment timing.  Other investing and financing cash flows also affect cash availability.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the underlying drivers of operating cash flows (sales, receivable collections, the timing of vendor payments, facility costs and employment levels) have been consistent.  Sales outstanding in accounts receivable have increased from approximately 61 days to 71 days within the last 12 months, indicating major studios may delay payments in response to the general economic slowdown.  However, we do not expect days sales outstanding to materially fluctuate in the future.

As of September 30, 2010, our facility costs consisted of building rent, maintenance and communication expenses.  In July 2008, rents were reduced by the purchase of our Hollywood Way facility in Burbank, CA, eliminating approximately $625,000 of annual rent expense.  The real estate purchase involved a down payment of $2.1 million and $6 million of mortgage debt.  The mortgage payments are approximately $489,000 per year.

In March 2009, the lease on one of our facilities in Hollywood, CA (“Highland”) expired and the Company became a holdover tenant.  The landlord issued a Notice to Quit which required us to move out of the facility.  The Highland operations have been housed at another Company facility.  Our Eden FX facility was moved to our West Los Angeles location in September 2010.  Rent will cease on our closed New York facility in March 2011.

The Company purchased the Vine Property in June 2009.  The purchase price of the Vine Property was $4.75 million, $1.2 million of which was paid in cash with the balance being financed by the seller over ten years, interest only at 7% for the entire term, with the principal amount being due at the end of the term.  Building renovations will cost about $1.5 million.  After renovation, we expect to move our Eden FX and Highland operations into the Vine Property in 2011.

The mortgage payments are approximately $738,000 per year.  We believe our current cash position and a difficult economy may provide us with the opportunity to invest in facility assets that will not only help fix our operating costs, but give us the potential to own appreciating real estate assets.  We will continue to evaluate opportunities to reduce facility costs.

As described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, the Company began a research and development project in Fiscal 2010 to create “proof of concept” stores to distribute digital video discs (DVDs) to consumers.  The Company hopes to capture a portion of the DVD rental market being vacated by the closure of many larger distribution vendors (e.g., Blockbuster and Hollywood Video) locations.  The Company has initially issued stock (valued at $500,000) and cash for assets and intellectual property, and has spent $3.7 million in Fiscal 2010 and $0.7 million in Fiscal 2011 to test the concept.  We expect to spend up to an additional $1.0 million in Fiscal 2011 to finalize the proof-of-concept.
 
During the past year, the Company has generated sufficient cash to meet operating, capital expenditure and debt service needs and most of its other obligations.  The Company also received in July 2010, a refund of $1.5 million in federal income taxes for the tax year 2006.  When preparing estimates of future cash flows, we consider historical performance, technological changes, market factors, industry trends and other criteria.  In our opinion, the Company will continue to be able to fund its needs for the foreseeable future.
 
We will continue to consider the acquisition of businesses which compliment our current operations and possible real estate transactions.  Consummation of any acquisition, real estate or other expansion transaction by the Company may be subject to the Company securing additional financing, perhaps at a cost higher than our existing term loans.  In the current economic climate, additional financing may not be available.  Currently, we do not have cash availability under a bank line of credit but believe similar financing is available.   Future earnings and cash flow may be negatively impacted to the extent that any acquired entities do not generate sufficient earnings and cash flow to offset the increased financing costs.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and accounting for income taxes.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 
16

 
 
Critical accounting policies are those that are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and which require management to make difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies cover accounting matters that are inherently uncertain because the future resolution of such matters is unknown.  We have made critical estimates in the following areas:
 
Revenues.   We perform a multitude of services for our clients, including film-to-tape transfer, video and audio editing, standards conversions, adding special effects, duplication, distribution, etc. A customer orders one or more of these services with respect to an element (movie, trailer, electronic press kit, etc.). The sum total of services performed on a particular element (a “package”) becomes the deliverable (i.e., the customer will pay for the services ordered in total when the entire job is completed). Occasionally, a major studio will request that package services be performed on multiple elements.  Each element creates a separate revenue stream which is recognized only when all requested services have been performed on that element.  At the end of an accounting period, revenue is accrued for un-invoiced but shipped work.

Certain jobs specify that many discrete tasks must be performed which require up to four months to complete.  In such cases, we use the proportional performance method for recognizing revenue.  Under the proportional performance method, revenue is recognized based on the value of each stand-alone service completed.
 
In some instances, a client will request that we store (or “vault”) an element for a period ranging from a day to indefinitely.  The Company attempts to bill customers a nominal amount for storage, but some customers, especially major movie studios, will not pay for this service.  In the latter instance, storage is an accommodation to foster additional business with respect to the related element.  It is impossible to estimate (i) the length of time we may house the element, or (ii) the amount of additional services we may be called upon to perform on an element.   Because these variables are not reasonably estimable and revenues from vaulting are not material, we do not treat vaulting as a separate deliverable in those instances in which the customer does not pay.

The Company records all revenues when all of the following criteria are met: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered; (iii) the Company’s price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  Additionally, in instances where package services are performed on multiple elements or where the proportional performance method is applied, revenue is recognized based on the value of each stand-alone service completed.

Allowance for doubtful accounts.   We are required to make judgments, based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the collectability of accounts receivable.  The allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns represent allowances for customer trade accounts receivable that are estimated to be partially or entirely uncollectible.  These allowances are used to reduce gross trade receivables to their net realizable value. The Company records these allowances as a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses based on estimates related to the following factors: (i) customer specific allowance; (ii) amounts based upon an aging schedule and (iii) an estimated amount, based on the Company’s historical experience, for issues not yet identified.
 
Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets.   Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment and intangibles, comprise a significant portion of the Company’s total assets. Long-lived assets, including goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to its fair value in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale.
 
Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
 
 
·
Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
 
 
·
Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy of our overall business;
 
 
·
Significant negative industry or economic trends;
 
 
·
Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and
 
 
·
Our market capitalization relative to net book value.

 
17

 
 
When we determine that the carrying value of  intangibles, long-lived assets and related goodwill and enterprise level goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value in a current transaction between willing parties or, in the absence of such measurement, on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be  commensurate  with the risk inherent in our current business model. Any amount of impairment so determined would be written off as a charge to the statement of operations, together with an equal reduction of the related asset. Net long-lived assets amounted to approximately $19.7 million as of September 30, 2010.
 
Research and Development.  Research and development costs include expenditures for planned search and investigation aimed at discovery of new knowledge to be used to develop new services or processes or significantly enhance existing processes.  Research and development costs also include the implementation of the new knowledge through design, testing of service alternatives, or construction of prototypes. The cost of materials and equipment or facilities that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and that have alternative future uses are capitalized as tangible assets when acquired or constructed.  All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
 Accounting for income taxes.   As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.  This process involves us estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes.  These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet.  We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations.
 
 At September 30, 2010, the Company has no uncertain tax positions.  Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets.  The net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2010 were $0.0 million.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
        Market Risk.   The Company had borrowings of $10.7 million on September 30, 2010 under term loan and mortgage agreements.  One term loan was subject to variable interest rates.  The weighted average interest rate paid during the first three months of fiscal 2011 was 6.8%.  For variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2010, a ..25% increase in interest rates will increase annual interest expense by approximately $1,000.  Amounts that may become outstanding under the revolving credit facility provide for interest at the banks’ prime rate minus ..5% to plus .5% or LIBOR plus 2.0% to 3.0% and LIBOR plus 3.15% for the variable rate term loan.  The Company’s market risk exposure with respect to financial instruments is to changes in prime or LIBOR rates.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) to determine whether any changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.  Based on the evaluation, no such change occurred during such period.

Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
18

 
 
 
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and members of our board of directors; and

 
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In July 2008, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the Superior court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles by Aryana Farshad and Aryana F. Productions, Inc.  (“Farshad”).  The complaint alleges that Point.360 and its janitorial cleaning company failed to exercise reasonable care for the protection and preservation of Farshad’s film footage which was lost.  As a result of the defendants’ negligence, Farshad claims to have suffered damages in excess of $2 million and additional unquantified general and special damages.  The lawsuit was settled in October 2010 for $120,000.
 
On October 6, 2009, DG FastChannel, Inc. (“DGFC”) filed a claim in the United States District Court Central District of California, alleging that the Company violated certain provisions of agreements governing transactions related to the August 13, 2007 sale of the Company’s advertising distribution business to DGFC.  DGFC alleges that (i) the Company did not fulfill its obligation to restrict a former employee from competing against DGFC subsequent to the transaction and, therefore, DGFC does not owe the Company $412,500 related to that portion of the transaction; (ii) the Company violated the noncompetition agreement between DGFC and the Company by distributing advertising content after the transaction; (iii) due to the violation of the noncompetition agreement, the post production services agreement that required DGFC to continue to vault its customers’ physical elements at the Company’s Media Center became null and void; and (iv) the Company must return all of DGFC’s vaulted material to DGFC.  DGFC also sought unspecified monetary damages.
 
In September 2010, a settlement between the parties included the following:  (1) The Company will be subject to a permanent injunction (until August 13, 2012) from competing in the commercial spot advertising  business (as defined), (2) the Company will deliver to DGFC vaulted elements which will result in an annual reduction of vaulting revenues of approximately $0.9 million, (3) the Company will not be entitled to $412,500 (relating to the working capital reconciliation), (4) the Company will issue 250,000 shares of common stock to DGFC and (5) the parties will enter into full mutual releases and will dismiss their respective claims with prejudice.  In connection with the settlement, the Company has indemnified a related party against possible losses should DGFC exercise its right to put the stock to the related party on a specified future date, and there is a negative difference between the stated $500,000 value of the stock ($2.00 per share) and the market value on the date of the put.  The put may be exercised on the six-month anniversary of the settlement agreement. As of September 30, 2010 the Company has issued the 250,000 shares of common stock to DGFC and accrued approximately $0.4 million of estimated legal, vault removal and other costs associated with the settlement.

In November 2010, DGFC filed an ex parte application for enforcement of the settlement agreement and related stipulated injunction alleging that the Company violated the terms thereof and seeking an order enforcing the settlement agreement, an order to assess civil contempt charges and other remedies, and an order referring criminal allegations against the Company to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  The Company believes it has substantially performed its obligations under the settlement agreement and intends to defend its position.  Potential liability related to the outcome of the ex parte application cannot be determined at this time.  The Company has accrued estimated legal fees associated with this action.

From time to time, the Company may become a party to other legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, although it is not currently involved in any such material legal proceedings except as described above.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
             In our capacity as Company management, we may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to our long-term objectives or expectations which may be included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), reports to stockholders and information provided on our web site.
 
            The words or phrases “will likely,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “is predicted,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans to continue,” “believes,” or similar expressions identify “forward-looking statements.”  Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.  We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  We are calling to your attention important factors that could affect our financial performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.
 
The following list of important factors may not be all-inclusive, and we specifically decline to undertake an obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.  Among the factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve expected operating results and growth plan goals and/or affect the market price of our stock are:

 
·
Recent history of losses.
 
20

 
 
·
Prior breaches and changes in credit agreements and ongoing liquidity.
 
·
Our highly competitive marketplace.
 
·
The risks associated with dependence upon significant customers.
 
·
Our ability to execute our expansion strategy.
 
·
The uncertain ability to manage in a changing environment.
 
·
Our dependence upon and our ability to adapt to technological developments.
 
·
Dependence on key personnel.
 
·
Our ability to maintain and improve service quality.
 
·
Fluctuation in quarterly operating results and seasonality in certain of our markets.
 
·
Possible significant influence over corporate affairs by significant shareholders.
 
·
Our ability to operate effectively as a stand-alone, publicly traded company.
 
·
The cost associated with becoming compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the consequences of failing to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Other factors not identified above, including the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s June 30, 2010, Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by our forward-looking statements.  Most of these factors are difficult to anticipate and are generally beyond our control.  You should consider these areas of risk in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made in this Form 10-Q and elsewhere by us and our business generally.  Except to the extent of any obligation to disclose material information under the federal securities laws or the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events.

POINT.360
 
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
 
$934,063.73.
November 1, 2010
 
Burbank, California

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, POINT.360, a California corporation (“Company”), promises to pay to the order of TROYGOULD PC, a California Professional corporation (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Nine Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand Sixty-Three and 73/100 Dollars ($ 934,063.73), plus interest thereon from the date hereof, at the rate of 3% per annum.    This Note represents the outstanding balance of all unpaid invoices for litigation work performed by Holder for Company through September 30, 2010, which have not been paid in full (“Accrued Invoices”).
 
The payment of this Note, including interest accrued thereon, is secured pursuant to the terms of that certain (i) security agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and Holder covering all of the assets of the Company (the “Security Agreement”) and (ii) a deed of trust, dated as of the date hereof, by the Company as trustor in favor of the Holder as beneficiary covering two separate parcels of improved real property located in Los Angeles County, California.  ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER ARE SET FORTH IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE DEED OF TRUST.
 
The following sets forth the rights of the Holder and the terms to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
 
1.           Definitions.  As used in this Note, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:
 
1.1           “Cash Proceeds Event” shall mean any divestiture, financing, recapitalization, sale of securities of the Company or other transaction not in the ordinary course of business that results in cash proceeds to the Company.  Notwithstanding for foregoing, any financing or other transaction pursuant to which Haig S. Bagerdjian acts in the capacity as a principal or a guarantor of all or any portion of the cash proceeds to the Company, shall be expressly excluded from the definition of a Cash Proceeds Event.
 
1.2           “Company Sale” means any transaction whereby (a) the Company merges or consolidates with any Person or Persons in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity; or (b) the Company sells substantially all of it assets.
 
1.3           “Contingent Assets” shall mean the Holthouse Claim and the IVC/Burbank Lease Renegotiation.
 
1.4           “Deed of Trust” shall mean the deed of trust described in the introductory paragraph of this Note.
 
1.5           “Event of Default” has the meaning given in Section 4 hereof.

 
 

 

1.6           “Holder” shall mean the Person specified in the introductory paragraph of this Note or any Person to whom this Note is endorsed or assigned.
 
1.7           “Holthouse Claim” shall mean a claim that the Company has asserted against Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt LLP on account of a tax matter alleged to have been improperly handled by the Holthouse Firm.
 
1.8           “IVC/Burbank Lease Renegotiation” shall mean current renegotiation by Company with its landlord over its IVC building lease wherein Company expects to recoup a significant portion of prior rent and/or other payments from its landlord.

2.           Payments.
 
2.1           Interest. Interest shall accrue on this Note at the rate of three percent (3.0%) per annum and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
 
2.2           Minimum Payments.  Company shall make an initial payment of principal and interest to Holder in the amount of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00) concurrently with execution of this Note.  Thereafter, Company shall make monthly payments of principal and interest to Holder in the minimum amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) on the first day of each and every month, commencing December 1, 2010, and continuing until all accrued but unpaid interest and the unpaid principal balance of this Note have been paid in full.  The Company shall, commencing with the end of the fourth calendar quarter of 2010, and each calendar quarter thereafter review in good faith with Holder its projected cash flow for the next calendar quarter to determine if it can reasonably increase the amount of the minimum monthly payments required under this Paragraph 2.2.  Any such increased minimum monthly payments shall then be applicable for the ensuing calendar quarter.  The projected cash flow shall be determined in good faith by Company and in accordance with its usual and customary budgeting standards.

 
2

 

2.3           Contingent Payments.  Immediately upon the receipt of cash by Company from any of the Contingent Assets, Company shall make a payment on the outstanding principal balance of this Note equal to (i) 20% of the unrestricted cash received by the Company from the IVC/Burbank Lease Renegotiation and (ii) 33-1/3% of any settlement amounts received in cash on the Holthouse Claim.  These payments of principal will be applied against the last amounts due under this Note and shall not satisfy the minimum monthly payments required under Paragraph 2.2 above.  In the event of a Cash Proceeds Event (other than a financing from Haig Bagerdjian) in which the Holder does not receive at least 20% of the proceeds as a prepayment of this Note due to a good faith determination by Company that its financial condition does not enable it to make such payment to Holder, the cash portion from the Contingent Assets payable to Holder in each case shall increase to 50%.  Payments pursuant to this Paragraph 2.3 shall in no event exceed the then remaining unpaid balance of principal and accrued interest on this Note.
 
2.4           Voluntary Prepayment.  Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium.
 
2.4.1                      One Year Payoff.  If Company is able to pay this Note in full (including any additional amounts owing to Holder pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement or Deed of Trust for subsequently Accrued Invoices), on or before October 1, 2011, all interest accrued for the year will be forgiven and waived and the original principal amount will be reduced by 12-1/2%.

(v)          The Secured Party may (but is not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary or any other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer the same to the Secured Party or its designee.
 
(b)           The Secured Party may comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties.  If the Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Debtor will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser.  In addition, Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

14.         Other Security.  To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, then the Secured Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.
