PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary does not contain all of the information that should be considered before investing in our common stock. Investors should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information regarding our business, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed in this prospectus under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus and our financial statements and the accompanying notes beginning on page F-1 of this prospectus. As used in this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Function(x) Inc., a Delaware corporation.
 
Our Company
Function(x) Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994. We are a diversified media and entertainment company and conduct our three lines of business, including digital publishing through Wetpaint.com ("Wetpaint") and Rant Inc. ("Rant") , fantasy sports gaming through DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. ("DDGG") , and digital content distribution through Choose Digital, Inc. ("Choose Digital").
We operate Wetpaint, an online destination for entertainment news for millennial women, covering the latest in television, music, and pop culture. With the recent acquisition of assets of Rant, a leading digital publisher in diversified areas, we expanded our reach in the digital publishing arena. We are also the largest shareholder of DraftDay.com, which is seeking to become a significant player in the fantasy sports market, offering a high-quality daily fantasy sports experience both directly to consumers and to businesses desiring turnkey solutions to new revenue streams. We also operate Choose Digital, a digital marketplace platform that allows companies to incorporate digital content into existing rewards and loyalty programs in support of marketing and sales initiatives.
As described in the section entitled the “Perk.com Transaction” below, on December 13, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Perk Agreement”) with Perk.com, Inc. (“Perk”) to sell our rewards business, including the Viggle app, to Perk. This asset sale subsequently closed on February 8, 2016.
As the nature of our business has changed, we changed our name from DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. to Function(x) Inc., and changed our ticker symbol from DDAY to FNCX.
We recently acquired assets of Rant for $2 million in assumed liabilities, a $3 million note, and 4,435 shares of Function(x) Inc. Series E Convertible Preferred Stock which, upon satisfaction of certain conditions including shareholder approval, will be convertible into shares of our common stock equal to 22% of the fully diluted shares outstanding, in a move to become a market leader in social publishing.
Digital Publishing
Our digital publishing businesses include Wetpaint and Rant. Wetpaint is a leading entertainment news destination for millennial women. Covering the latest in television, music, celebrities, entertainment news, fashion, and pop culture, Wetpaint reaches millions of unique users on a monthly basis. Through Wetpaint, we publish more than 55 new articles, videos, and galleries each day. Wetpaint is a social publisher whose target audience is millennial women, primarily 18- to 34-year-old women. With social packaging around original entertainment news content, we showcase exclusive interviews, breaking stories, and our fangirl spin on pop culture. We generate content through our team of in-house professional writers and editors who are experts in their fields. Each writer is immersed in pop culture and what is happening on-screen and behind the scenes of fans’ favorite TV shows and movies. They seek to deliver content to our readers in a fun, visual and informative way and to ensure that our fans are up to date on all the latest entertainment news and gossip.
Wetpaint is a leading-edge media platform that uses its proprietary state-of-the-art technologies and expertise in social media to build and monetize audiences. We are very focused on knowing our audience, which is made possible through our proprietary Social Distribution System ("SDS"), a patented technology-based social experimentation and publishing platform. Wetpaint’s competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content by getting it to the right audience at the right place and time on the internet.
To enhance our digital publishing business, we recently acquired assets of Rant. Rant is a leading digital publisher that publishes original content in 13 different verticals, most notably in sports, entertainment, pets, cars, and food. Adweek published that Rant’s flagship RantSports.com property was ranked #1 by Quantcast for target digital ad buying for the 2015 holiday season, indicating the power of reaching a targeted audience. Rant and its expanding internet property lineup has established itself as a leading innovator in online media consumption. Known for the well-established brand RantSports, Rant has since expanded its

2






reach towards the areas of lifestyle, fitness, exercise, entertainment, technology, and celebrities. Rant was recently named both #18 overall on Inc 500’s Fastest Growing Companies - #1 in Media - and #31 on Forbes’ Most Promising Companies of 2015.
As a complement to our existing Wetpaint publishing business, Rant brings an expanded reach into sports, lifestyle, and entertainment publishing. The combined properties currently have approximately12.7 million fans on their Facebook pages and, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, generated an average of 14.5 million unique visitors per month. With the acquisition of Rant, we gain a highly optimized digital media delivery technology which amplifies the speed of digital content publishing, getting information and relevant advertising to the end user more quickly than before. Rant’s platform is designed for desktop and mobile content at the billions-of-pageviews per year level. Because of its low cost of operation, the coupling of the Rant platform and the SDS technology creates powerful tools in digital content publishing.
Our digital publishing businesses are very focused on knowing their audience. This is made possible through our proprietary SDS, a patented technology-based social experimentation and publishing platform. Our competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content, getting it to the right audience at the right place at the right time primarily through social media. The technology is designed to generate fans on our pages on Facebook and other social media outlets. Our content is then displayed in the fans’ feeds on Facebook and other social media sites, which can then drive traffic to our websites. Our technology contains a test and measurement system that delivers real-time audience insights, and provides optimized distribution by audience. Because we use this proprietary technology, a significant amount of our website traffic is generated through social media channels, particularly Facebook. Facebook and other social media outlets routinely update their algorithms to adjust what content is displayed in users’ feeds. The test and measurement feature of our technology help us to stay current in maximizing website traffic from social media channels as these algorithms change. We have seven issued patents related to the SDS technology.
Our digital publishing businesses generate revenue by displaying advertisements to our users as they view content on our websites. We source ads by working directly with advertisers, or their advertising agencies, and by working through several third party ad networks who are all bidding against each other for our advertising inventory in real time. Advertisements are typically priced as a base price per thousand views, also known as Cost-Per-Mille (CPM), but can also be priced as a base price per click, also known as Cost-Per-Click (CPC), or as a base price per intended action, also known as Cost-Per-Action (CPA). The vast majority of our revenues are derived from ads sourced from third party ad networks.
Acquisition of Rant, Inc.
On July 12, 2016, the Company and RACX Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“RACX”), completed an acquisition pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Rant, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which RACX has acquired the assets of Rant (the “Asset Purchase”) used in the operation of Rant’s Rant.com independent media network and related businesses, including but not limited to the www.rantsports.com, www.rantlifestyle.com, www.rantchic.com, www.rantgirls.com, www.rant-inc.com, www.rantstore.com, www.rantcities.com, www.rantcars.com, www.rantfinance.com, www.ranthollywood.com , www.rantfood.com, www.rantgamer.com, www.rantgizmo.com, www.rantpets.com, www.rantplaces.com, www.rantpolitical.com, www.rantmn.com, www.rantbeats.com, www.rantgirls.com, www.rantstore.com, www.rantcities.com, www.rantranet.com, and www.rantmovies.com websites (the “Rant Assets”).
In consideration for the purchase of the Rant Assets, the Company (i) delivered a Secured Convertible Promissory Note to Rant in the amount of $3.0 million; (ii) assumed $2.0 million of liabilities of Rant and (iii) issued to Rant 4,435 shares of Company Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
Rant is a digital publishing network that creates original content, most notably in sports, entertainment and pets - that reaches major diversified demographics.
The combined Wetpaint and Rant properties currently have approximately 12.7 million fans on their Facebook pages and, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, generated an average of 14.5 million unique visitors per month.
DraftDay.com
The DraftDay.com business (“DraftDay Business” and/or “DraftDay”) conducts business as DDGG and operates a daily fantasy sports website at DraftDay, and other white-label websites on behalf of its business-to-business clients. DraftDay Business is focused on the business-to-business market allowing consumer brands entry into the fantasy sports market with turnkey solutions in the United States and Canada. DDGG’s model provides three unique benefits: (1) business-to-business white-label strategy that

3






significantly reduces customer acquisition cost risks; (2) partner liquidity sharing that provides opportunities for large price pools via aggregation; and (3) a platform that has the latest in customer protections in the industry.
DraftDay’s technology is a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform and powers the complete user experience, which can be linked to a new or existing website or integrated into an existing authentication process using a secure Application Program Interface (“API”). DraftDay manages all aspects of the website operation, including: taking the deposits, managing the tournaments, handling the withdrawals, and providing customer support on behalf of a client’s new or existing brand.
DDGG supplies a full white-label solution that allows businesses to participate in the fast growing skill-based game market. By using DDGG's white-label solution, a business can offer a fantasy sports product to its customers without incurring the ongoing technology costs and other capital expenditures. By focusing on offering white-label solutions to businesses, DDGG's strategy is to build a network of players through the established databases of DDGG's participating clients. This model is strategically focused to minimize costs of user acquisition. In addition, the aggregated network of users across DDGG's clients' databases creates larger prize pools to generate higher player engagement and retention. DDGG continues to develop its business plan by focusing on the regulated market of casinos as well as the entertainment and sports industries.
The DraftDay platform is web-based with enhanced mobile experiences, including Apps, that allow end users to engage in daily fantasy sports tournaments that span single or multiple days, creating rosters from all available players in a variety of tournament formats. Businesses working with DraftDay receive seamless integration, enterprise marketing support, and state-of-the-art monitoring and reporting for revenue optimization.
DraftDay employs industry-leading consumer protection protocols and technology, including geolocation services from GeoComply, identity verification (Know-Your-Customer) from IDology, and enhanced responsible play controls customized by locale.
The daily fantasy sports industry, including DDGG's business, is subject to an evolving legislative and regulatory landscape. Some states employ a “predominance” test or a “material factor” test to determine whether or not a game is one of skill. Others have specific laws prohibiting pay-to-play fantasy sports. Therefore, DDGG does not operate in Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, or Washington. Several state Attorneys General have issued opinions that daily fantasy sports either do or do not meet the states standards under their current laws. In those states with negative treatment, DDGG has suspended services until there is further clarity in those states through the legal, legislative, and regulatory processes. On November 10, 2015, the New York State Attorney General issued a letter to FanDuel and DraftKings, two of the largest competitors in the fantasy sports industry, stating that it believes that their activities constitute illegal gambling under New York law, and instructing them to cease their offerings to New York residents. As a result, DDGG has ceased its fantasy sports offerings to New York residents. However, on August 3, 2016, New York enacted a law that legalizes and regulates fantasy sports in New York. DDGG intends to seek that approval to operate from the New York state regulators.
Choose Digital

Choose Digital’s products and services allow any reward program to integrate our large digital media marketplace, giving their members the ability to browse, redeem, and download latest releases or classic favorites.

The Private Placement
On July 12, 2016, we closed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of $4.4 million principal amount of convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) and common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”). The Debentures and Warrants were issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 12, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among us and certain accredited investors within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Purchasers”). Upon the closing of the Private Placement, we received gross proceeds of $4.0 million before placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction. We will use the net proceeds from the transaction for general business and working capital purposes.
The Debentures mature on the one-year anniversary of the issuance date thereof. The Debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.3133 per share (the “Conversion Price”). Based on such initial Conversion Price, the Debentures will be convertible into up to 15,604,504 shares of common stock. If we issue or sell shares of our common stock, rights to purchase shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock for a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price then in effect will be decreased to equal such lower price. The adjustments to the Conversion Price will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans or for certain acquisitions. In addition, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. However, in no event will the Conversion Price be less than $0.10 per share. The Debentures are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets in accordance with a security agreement.
The Debentures bear interest at 10% per annum with interest payable upon maturity or on any earlier redemption date. At any time after the issuance date, we will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures, plus all accrued but unpaid interest at a price equal to 120% of such amount. The holders of Debentures shall have the right to convert any or all of the amount to be redeemed into common stock prior to redemption. Subject to certain exceptions, the Debentures contain customary covenants against incurring additional indebtedness and granting additional liens and contain customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Debentures, a holder of Debentures may require us to pay the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the Conversion Price multiplied by the daily volume weighted average price or (ii) 115% of the outstanding principal amount plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest. Pursuant to the Debentures, we are required to make amortizing payments of the aggregate principal amount, interest, and other amounts outstanding under the Debentures. Such payments must be made beginning three months from the issuance of the Debentures and on the monthly anniversary through and including the maturity date. The Amortization Amount is payable in cash or in shares of our common stock pursuant to the conversion mechanism contained in the Debentures.
On July 20, 2016, we and the Purchasers entered into an Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Consent to Modify Debentures (the “Amendment and Consent”). The Amendment and Consent provides that, while the Debentures are outstanding, Mr. Sillerman will guarantee that we shall have $1.0 million available in our commercial bank account or otherwise available in liquid funds. At any time when our available funds fall below $1.0 million, Mr. Sillerman will provide (the “Sillerman Guaranty”) the amounts necessary to make-up the shortfall in an aggregate amount not to exceed $6.0 million; however, the first $5.0 million of the guaranty shall be provided by drawing down on our Line of Credit with Sillerman Investment Company IV, LLC (“SIC IV”). Any remaining amounts, up to a maximum aggregate of $1.0 million shall be provided by Mr. Sillerman.
The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is registering 48,888,906 shares of common stock that may become issuable if we are required to adjust the conversion price of the Debentures from the initial conversion price of $0.3133 to $0.10, the lowest possible conversion price. However, we may not be required to make any such adjustment to the conversion price, or any required adjustment may result in a conversion price between $0.10 and $0.3133. As a result, the additional shares may never become issuable by us.
As a part of the Private Placement, we issued Warrants to the Purchasers providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,092,957 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share. Subject to certain limitations, the Warrants are exercisable on any date after the date of issuance and the exercise price for the Warrant is subject to adjustment for certain events, such as stock splits and stock dividends. If we issue or sell shares of our common stock, rights to purchase shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock for a price per share that is less than the conversion price of the Debentures, the exercise price of the Warrants will be decreased to a lower price based on

5






the amount by which the conversion price of the Debentures was reduced due to such transaction. The foregoing adjustments to the exercise price for future stock issues will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans or for certain acquisitions. In addition, the exercise price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. The Warrants will expire 5 years from the initial issuance date.
In addition, we issued to Aegis Capital Corporation (“Aegis”), the placement agent in connection with the Private Placement, Warrants providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,063,944 shares of our common stock at initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share. The Warrants issued to Aegis contain substantially the same terms as the Warrants issued to the Purchasers. The shares of our common stock that underlie the Warrants held by Aegis are included in this registration statement.
The registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, is registering 25,555,565 shares of common stock that may become issuable if we are required to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants held by the Purchasers and Aegis from the initial exercise price of $0.3264 to $0.10. $0.10 is the lowest possible exercise price of the Warrants. However, we may not be required to make any such adjustment to the exercise price, or any required adjustment may result in an exercise price between $0.10 and $0.3264 for the Warrants. As a result, the additional shares may never become issuable by us.
The Purchasers shall not have the right to convert the Debentures or exercise the Warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in such Purchaser being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% of our common stock. In addition, the Purchasers have no right to convert the Debentures or exercise the Warrants if the issuance of the shares of common stock upon such conversion or exercise would exceed the aggregate number of shares of our common stock which we may issue upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant without breaching our obligations under NASDAQ listing rules. Such limitation does not apply if our shareholders approve such issuances. We intend to promptly seek shareholder approval for issuances of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants.
In connection with the Private Placement, we and the Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement under which we are required, on or before 30 days after the closing of the Private Placement, to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Debentures and Warrants and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration declared effective as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the filing date. We will be subject to certain monetary penalties, as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, if the registration statement is not filed, does not become effective on a timely basis, or does not remain available for the resale (subject to certain allowable grace periods) of the Registrable Securities, as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Also in connection with the Private Placement, certain stockholders of ours have executed Lock-Up Agreements, pursuant to which they have agreed not to sell any shares of our common stock until the later of (i) six months following the issuance of the Debentures or (ii) 90 days following the effectiveness of a resale registration statement filed pursuant to the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement.
Going Concern
Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2015, and the auditor's report on those financial statements, include a disclosure paragraph regarding the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern, which implies we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant revenue 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 stockholders and our ability to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue development of our 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, and therefore there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our internal controls over disclosure controls and procedures was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which are the consequences of our limited financial resources and small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (ii) insufficient levels of supervision and review of the disclosure controls and procedures process; and (iii) failure to design, implement and maintain adequate operational and internal controls and processes to identify complex transactions requiring specialized accounting expertise.

The number of shares of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering is based on 60,475,058 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 20, 2016 and excludes the following:

907,001 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of July 20, 2016, with a weighted-average exercise price of $9.96 per share;

5,281,414 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2011 Executive Incentive Plan, as well as any automatic increases in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the plan;

15,604,504 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures (including accrued interest) held by the selling stockholders at an initial conversion price of $0.3133; and

8,156,901 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Purchasers and the Placement Agent at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share.
 
The common stock offered by the selling stockholders includes:

48,888,906 shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders issuable upon conversion of the Debentures (including accrued interest) issued in the Private Placement (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”). In relation to the conversion of the Debentures, 15,604,504 shares of common stock are currently issuable.

33,284,402 shares of common stock may become issuable upon conversion of the Debentures if we are required to adjust the conversion price from their initial conversion price of $0.3133 to $0.10, the lowest possible conversion price. However, we may not be required to make any such adjustment to the conversion price, or the required adjustment may result in a conversion price between $0.10 and $0.3133. As a result, the additional shares may never become issuable by us.

25,555,565 shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued in the Financing (such shares, the “Warrant Shares”). 8,156,901 shares of common stock are currently issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Purchasers and the Placement Agent at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share.

17,398,664 shares of common stock may become issuable upon exercise of the Warrants if we are required to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants from the initial exercise price of $0.3264 to $0.10. $0.10 is the lowest possible exercise price. However, we may not be required to make any such adjustment to the exercise price, or the required adjustment may result in an exercise price between $0.10 and $0.3264 for the Warrants. As a result, the additional shares may never become issuable by us.
 
The common stock to be outstanding after this offering assumes the conversion of all Debentures at a conversion price $0.10 per share and full exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.

 RISK FACTORS
 

The following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business financial condition, results of operations and stock price.
We have been notified by NASDAQ that our stock will be delisted because we have failed to comply with the continuing listing requirements of NASDAQ. We appealed NASDAQ's decision, and NASDAQ has granted us an extension until August 22, 2016 to regain compliance with NASDAQ's continuing listing criteria. If we are unable to regain compliance by that date, our stock will be delisted. As a result, liquidity in our stock could be impaired, and our stock price will likely decline.

Our common stock has traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol DDAY. NASDAQ recently informed us that we have failed to comply with certain of NASDAQ's continuing listing criteria, and that our stock will be delisted. We appealed the decision, and NASDAQ has granted us an extension until August 22, 2016 to regain compliance with its continuing listing criteria. If we are not able to regain compliance by that time, our stock will be delisted. In addition, we received a letter from NASDAQ that due to the resignation of Birame Sock as a director, we are no longer in compliance with NASDAQ rules relating to independent directors. We have six months to appoint another independent director in order to regain compliance. Delisting will impair the liquidity of our securities not only in the number of shares that could be bought and sold at a given price, which may be depressed by the relative illiquidity, but also through delays in the timing of transactions. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of shares of our common stock. We believe that current and prospective investors will view an investment in our common stock less favorably after it is delisted from NASDAQ. This failure to meet the continuing NASDAQ listing requirements will likely have an adverse impact on the value of and trading activity in our common stock.

The sale of our Viggle rewards business to Perk.com, Inc. has changed our business model.

The sale of the Viggle rewards business to Perk.com, Inc. and the acquisition of assets of Rant, Inc. changed our business model. As a result of these transactions, we are a smaller business and are focused on the social publishing industry. Our revenue levels are likely to be different, and possibly lower, than those previously achieved. Our historic stock price has been volatile and the future market price for our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile.
Our historic stock price has been volatile and the future market price for our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile.

The public market for our common stock has historically been volatile. Any future market price for our shares is likely to continue to be volatile. This price volatility may make it more difficult for you to sell shares when you want at prices you find attractive. The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of specific companies. Broad market factors and the investing public’s negative

8






perception of our business may reduce our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. Further, the market for our common stock is limited and we cannot assure you that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, these factors may make it more difficult or impossible for you to sell shares of our common stock for a positive return on your investment.

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 $57 million and $60 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $423 million as of March 31, 2016 and $367 million as of June 30, 2015. We have not achieved profitability since inception and cannot be certain that we will ever achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions, increasing revenue in our remaining businesses 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 annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 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, 2015, had a working capital deficiency. We are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant 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.

The independent directors are exploring strategic alternatives. There can be no assurances that any transaction will occur, or if such a transaction does occur, the value of that transaction to our company or our stockholders.
The independent directors are exploring strategic alternatives to enhance value. These alternatives could include, among others, possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships, marketing alliances, acquisitions, sale of all or some of our assets or other possible transactions, including the possibility of reorganization. However, there can be no assurance that any such strategic transaction will occur or be successful. In addition, if such a transaction occurs, there can be no assurances as to the value of any such transaction to us or our stockholders. While continuing to explore strategic alternatives, we have approved: (i) recapitalization plan involving the conversion of $34.8 million of debt held by Sillerman Investment Company III, LLC, Sillerman Investment Company IV, LLC and Sillerman Investment Company VI, LLC, each an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the conversion of 3,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock into up to 396,000,000 shares of our common stock; (ii) a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, whereby each twenty outstanding shares of common stock will be exchanged for one new share of common stock; (iii) the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Rant. There is no assurance that such exchange or split will be consummated or will be successful in positioning our Company for other opportunities or that the acquisition of Rant will enhance such value.
Exercise of convertible instruments and conversion of preferred stock will dilute your percentage of ownership and could cause our stock price to fall.

As of March 31, 2016, we have outstanding stock options to purchase 1,057,633 shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock units for 226,176 shares of common stock. Exercise of any of these options or warrants, or conversion of any of the shares of preferred stock, would result in our issuing a significant number of additional shares of common stock. Additionally, we have more than 3 million shares available for issuance under the 2011 Executive Incentive Plan. In the future, we may further increase the number of shares available for issuance under that plan. In addition, we currently have 10,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which are convertible into 2,500,000 shares of common stock. We have entered into an Exchange Agreement with affiliates of our Chief Executive Officer, Robert F.X. Sillerman, that provides for the conversion of the $34.8 million of debt held by Mr. Sillerman’s affiliates and 3,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into up to 396,000,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with the Private Placement, we have issued convertible debentures and warrants that are convertible and exercisable for up to 70,046,371 shares of common stock. The issuance of up to 189,693,831 shares of common stock upon the conversion of shares of our outstanding Series E Convertible Preferred stock and convertible notes issued to Rant.

9






and the issuance of up to 9,404,940 shares of common stock pursuant to an agreement with MGT Sports. to retire the debt owed by us to MGT Sports. would result in dilution of your percentage ownership of our Company.

We estimate that, if we issued all 665,533,795 (approximately 33,276,690 if the reverse split is effectuated) of the shares that the Majority Shareholders have approved for issuance as described in the Information Statement on Schedule PRE 14C filed July 27, 2016, existing Function(x) shareholders, other than Mr. Sillerman, would own approximately 3.1% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after the offer is completed.
We may also grant additional stock options, warrants and convertible securities. The exercise, conversion or exchange of stock options, warrants or convertible securities will dilute the percentage ownership of our other stockholders. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could cause the price of our common stock to fall and could impair our ability to raise capital by selling additional securities.
We may also grant additional stock options, warrants and convertible securities. The exercise, conversion or exchange of stock options, warrants or convertible securities will dilute the percentage ownership of our other stockholders. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could cause the price of our common stock to fall and could impair our ability to raise capital by selling additional securities.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.
As of March 31, 2016, we had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $182 million. We generally are able to carry NOLs forward to reduce taxable income in future years. These NOLs will begin to expire in 2030, if not utilized before that time. However, our ability to utilize the NOLs is subject to the rules of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 382”). Section 382 generally restricts the use of NOLs after an “ownership change.” An ownership change occurs if, among other things, the stockholders (or specified groups of stockholders) who own or have owned, directly or indirectly, five percent or more of our common stock or are otherwise treated as five percent stockholders under Section 382 and the regulations promulgated thereunder increase their aggregate percentage ownership of our stock by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the stock owned by these stockholders over a three-year rolling period. In the event of an ownership change, Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income that we may offset with NOLs. This annual limitation is generally equal to the product of the value of our stock on the date of the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate published monthly by the Internal Revenue Service. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years until the applicable expiration date for the respective NOLs.
The rules of Section 382 are complex and subject to varying interpretations. Because of our numerous capital raises, uncertainty exists as to whether we may have undergone an ownership change in the past or will undergo one as a result of the various transactions discussed herein. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our NOLs will be fully available or utilizable.
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 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.

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

10






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 a significant amount of our voting securities are controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his affiliates, you and our other non-management stockholders may not be able to affect the outcome in matters requiring stockholder approval.
 
As of July 20, 2016, approximately 41,461,599 shares of our common stock, not including warrants, options, preferred stock or rights to acquire common stock, are owned by Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates, representing a significant percentage of the total voting power. As a result, Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates essentially have the ability to elect all of our directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder action.  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.
 
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”), in which Mr. Nelson is an executive officer. Mr. Sillerman is also the Chairman of SFX, a company in the live entertainment business, which has filed in Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to reorganize its 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 Chairman 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, which is in liquidation. In addition, one of our directors, Michael Meyer, is a member of the board of directors and chair of the audit committee of Circle. 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. In addition, not having the full time and attention of the executive officers could cause our business results to suffer.

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

11






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 social publishing 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 compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the ability to generate content and attract readers. If we are successful, larger and more established media companies, with significantly greater resources, may try to enter the market with similar products, 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:

Digital publishing network providing original content in sports, entertainment and pets
Digital marketplace powering some of the largest loyalty programs
Digital content providers
Companies with daily fantasy sports offerings

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.

Failure to successfully grow businesses of Wetpaint, Rant. DraftDay or Choose Digital in the expected time frame may adversely affect our future results.

The success of our acquisitions of Wetpaint, Rant, DraftDay, or Choose Digital will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from such businesses. Our management may face significant challenges in developing Wetpaint’s, Rant’s, DraftDay’s, or Choose Digital's businesses, and their respective technologies, organizations, procedures, policies and operations, as well as addressing the different business cultures at these companies, and retaining key personnel. If Wetpaint, Rant, DraftDay, or Choose Digital are not successfully developed, the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions of these companies may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Developing these businesses.   may also be complex and time consuming, and require substantial resources and effort. 
We will still incur significant transaction and merger-related expenses in connection with our acquisition of Choose Digital.

In connection with our acquisition of Choose Digital, we were required to make a contingent payment, which was due within five business days after June 24, 2015, of $4.8 million, which we failed to make timely. As a result, we entered into a Forbearance Agreement with AmossyKlein Family Holdings, LLLP ("AmossyKlein"), as representative of the former shareholders of Choose Digital Inc. (the “Stockholders”). The Forbearance Agreement provided that we would make monthly installment payments to the Stockholders and we agreed to deliver an affidavit of confession of judgment to be held in escrow by AmossyKlein’s counsel in the event that we do not make such installment payments. We made the installment payments through December 2015, but failed to make the payment due on January 29, 2016. On May 12, 2016, we and AmossyKlein entered into an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement to provide for the payment of the remaining $1.8 million. The Forbearance Agreement provides that we would make a payment of approximately $0.3 million by May 18, 2016, and thereafter, we would make monthly payments of $0.1 million, plus interest, until the remaining amount is paid in full. In addition, we pledged 100,000 shares of common stock we hold in Perk.com, Inc. as collateral for these obligations. Finally, we agreed if we consummate a sale of a substantial part of our assets or a public equity offering, we will first apply the proceeds to remaining amounts due to AmossyKlein, except for payments to advisors or expenses necessary to close such transactions. We also agreed to amend the confession of judgment. These payments under the amended forbearance agreement will create additional strain on our limited cash resources. In addition, the requirement to accelerate payments on a sale of a substantial part of our assets or from a public equity offering may hinder our access to additional cash.

12







We will incur significant transaction and merger-related expenses in connection with our acquisition of our interest in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc.

In connection with our acquisition of an interest in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc., we were required to make payments pursuant to promissory note in the principal amount of $2.0 million on March 8, 2016. We negotiated with the holders of these notes to pay a portion of the outstanding amounts in our common stock. We were able to retire approximately $1.0 million of the amounts outstanding under the notes through the issuance of 2,956,240 shares of our common stock and 110 shares of our Series D preferred stock. The 110 shares of our common stock were convertible into 366,630 shares of our common stock. Approximately $1.0 million of the principal amount of these notes remains outstanding and will now be payable on July 31, 2016. We entered into a transaction with MGT Sports to similarly retire the remaining portion of the notes in equity. However, there is no assurance that will be able to do so. In addition, if we are successful, the issuance of additional equity in satisfaction of these notes would result in dilution to existing stockholders.

We will incur significant transaction and integration expenses in connection with our acquisition of the assets of Rant, Inc.
In connection with our acquisition of the assets of Rant, Inc., we were required to make payments pursuant to a secured convertible promissory note (the “Rant Note”) that bears interest at 12% per annum on principal amount of $3.0 million. The Rant Note matures on July 8, 2017. At the election of Rant, the secured convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a price equal to the lower of (i) $0.26 per share, or (ii) such lower price as may have been set for conversion of any debt or securities into Common Stock held on or after the date hereof by Sillerman until the first to occur of March 31, 2017 or the date the Rant Note has been satisfied or converted. In connection with the Rant Note, we have entered into a Note Purchase Agreement and a Security Agreement with Rant, under which we have granted Rant a continuing security interest in substantially all of our assets    . In connection with the issuance of the secured convertible note, Robert F.X. Sillerman, his affiliates, and Rant entered into a subordination agreement subordinating repayment of the Rant Note to the Debentures and entered into an Intercreditor Agreement providing for the parties’ respective rights and remedies with respect to payments against the collateral held as security for both of them. The issuance of additional equity in conversion of the Rant Note would result in dilution to existing stockholders.

 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 revenues could be adversely affected.

In order to attract consumers and maintain or increase engagement on our Wetpaint, Rant. DraftDay and Choose Digital properties, we believe that 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 Wetpaint, Rant, DraftDay and Choose Digital users, we may not be able to maintain or increase our existing users’ engagement on or attract new consumers to Choose Digital, DraftDay and Wetpaint and as a result our search rankings, traffic and usage metrics, and advertising revenues may be adversely affected.

Wetpaint and Rant rely 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 and Rant rely 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 or Rant, their 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 and Rant'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 or Rant content is displayed to users and clicked upon. In such cases, traffic to Wetpaint or Rant websites could be adversely affected.

Wetpaint and Rant rely 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 and Rant traffic, and the originating source for many users who become Wetpaint or Rant fans and followers on the social networks. The ranking of Wetpaint and Rant 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 and Rant. The popular keywords for which Wetpaint or Rant rank highly could subside in their

13






popularity, or Wetpaint or Rant may fail to maintain the rankings that it has had for such keywords. In addition, as new keywords become popular, Wetpaint or Rant content may fail to rank highly for those keywords.

If Wetpaint and Rant do 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 and Rant are 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.

Choose Digital previously generated a significant amount of its content sales through the Viggle App, which has now been sold to Perk. If Perk does not offer content provided by Choose Digital, or if it uses less content provided by Choose Digital than we used previously, Choose Digital's business could suffer.

The Viggle App, which provides rewards to its users, previously offered digital content provided through Choose Digital. The content provided through the Viggle App was a significant part of Choose Digital's sales. The Viggle App is now owned and operated by Perk. There can be no assurance that Perk will offer digital content provided through Choose Digital, or that Perk will offer digital content at the same levels that were offered historically. Therefore, Choose Digital's revenues may decline considerably.

Choose Digital is dependent on its business relationships with providers of digital content. If we are unable to maintain those relationships, Choose Digital's business could suffer. We are reviewing and evaluating the Choose Digital business currently.

Choose Digital's business model is to provide digital content to loyalty programs. Accordingly, Choose Digital maintains business relationships with various providers of digital content. We have been unable to make payments to maintain its business relationships with the providers of digital content and, as a result, Choose Digital is able to offer its clients the range of digital content it has historically been able to, which did cause Choose Digital's revenues to decline. Choose Digital is late in payments to providers of digital content, and as a result, its supply of digital content could be jeopardized. If the supply of digital content is jeopardized, Choose Digital could lose its clients and its revenue streams. We are reviewing and evaluating the Choose Digital business as part of our strategic plan.

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. 

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 Internal Revenue Service 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.

Our business has substantial indebtedness and trade payables

We currently have, and will likely continue to have, a substantial amount of indebtedness and trade payables. These obligations 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 March 31, 2016, we had total indebtedness of approximately $26.0 million and trade payables of approximately $8.5 million, in addition to the transaction and merger-related expenses relating to the acquisitions of Choose Digital and an interest in the DraftDay Business. The $26.0 million is subject to security agreements in favor of Robert F.X. Sillerman or his affiliates.

While we have attempted to settle with many of the vendors to which the trade payables are owed, there can be no assurances that we will be able to do so at all or be able to do so on favorable terms. Failure to settle these trade payables could result in litigation, which could lead to attachments and liens on our assets. In addition, vendors could potentially seek to file against us involuntary reorganization proceedings.

We expect to obtain the money to pay our expenses, to pay our trade payables and to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness from cash flow from our operations and potentially from other debt and/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.
 

15






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.
 
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 and disclosure controls and procedures. 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.
    
As discussed in this prospectus, we have noted material weaknesses in internal control over our financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. We intend to remediate these issues and have started efforts in that regard. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

We made an investment in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc., which operates a daily fantasy sports website. Companies with daily fantasy sports offerings operate in an unclear and evolving regulatory environment. If a regulator, state attorney general or US Attorney takes the position that DDGG's business operates in violation of applicable laws, or if laws are changed, it could force DDGG to cease operating in certain states or to change its business models in ways that could materially and negatively impact its business. Current regulations require that the DraftDay Business operate in a manner that may result in financial risk.

At a U.S. federal level, Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 ("UIGEA") prohibits online gambling practices, but exempts fantasy sports, as long as they operate within certain parameters. The UIGEA specifically exempts fantasy sports games, educational games, or any online contest that "has an outcome that reflects the relative knowledge of the participants, or their skill at physical reaction or physical manipulation (but not chance), and, in the case of a fantasy or simulation sports game, has an outcome that is determined predominantly by accumulated statistical results of sporting events, including any non-participant's individual performances in such sporting events..." However, all prizing must be determined and announced in advance of the competition and cannot be influenced by the fees or number of participants. This creates financial risk because we must determine prizes for games in advance, and if we do not have enough paying players in a game to cover the amount of the prize for the game, we could experience significant losses.

DDGG's business is subject to an evolving legislative and regulatory landscape. Some states employ a “predominance” test or a “material factor” test to determine whether or not a game is one of skill. Others have specific laws prohibiting pay-to-play fantasy sports. Therefore, DDGG does not operate in Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, or Washington. Several state Attorneys General have issued opinions that daily fantasy sports either does or does not meet the states standards under their current laws. In those states with negative treatment, DDGG has suspended services until there is further clarity in those states through the legal, legislative, and regulatory processes. On November 10, 2015, the New York State Attorney General issued a letter to FanDuel and DraftKings, two of the largest competitors in the fantasy sports industry, stating that it believes that their activities constitute illegal gambling under New York law, and instructing them to cease their offerings to New York residents. As a result, DDGG has ceased its fantasy sports offerings to New York residents. However, on August 3, 2016, New York enacted a law that legalizes and regulates fantasy sports in New York. DDGG intends to seek that approval to operate from the New York state regulators. Approximately 33 states have introduced legislation authorizing and regulating daily fantasy sports ranging from clarifying current state laws to adding new laws regarding daily fantasy sports. DDGG continues to monitor the changing landscape and advocates a favorable position for daily fantasy sports in each of these states. However, any such change could materially and adversely affect DraftDay's business.

DraftDay competes against well-established competitors in the fantasy sports industry. If DraftDay's products do not achieve market acceptance, it may be unable to generate revenues, may experience significant losses, and may require additional capital to continue operations.

16






 
DraftDay competes with FanDuel and DraftKings, two established companies in the fantasy sports industry, as well as other competitors. Those competitors have already achieved a higher degree of market acceptance and have a large amount of resources to continue to expand their brands and competitive positions. Competing directly with these more established companies would require significant capital resources. In order to compete, DraftDay intends to establish marketing and white label relationships with various third parties. However, there can be no assurance that this strategy will be successful, that DraftDay will be able to establish any such white label or marketing relationships or, even if it does, that such relationships will be successful in competing against other competitors in the industry.

We have suffered a loss of human capital as a result of the Perk Transaction. If we are unable to replace the employees lost, we may not be able to take advantage of opportunities in the marketplace.

As a result of the Perk Transaction and the resulting changes in our business, many of our employees have become Perk employees and others have left our Company. If we are unable to replace these employees, we may not have the manpower necessary to sell advertising, to market and publicize our businesses and to take advantage of changing market conditions.

We may be unable to compete with larger or more established companies.
 
We face a large and growing number of competitors across all our lines of business.  Wetpaint and Rant are content publishers, and they face many competitors with far greater resources. They face competition from traditional media sources, such as newspapers and magazines, many of which have their own digital properties, as well as competition from other digital and online publishers, such as Buzzfeed and Vox Media., and many others. Choose Digital competes with other digital content providers. 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. In addition, as described in greater detail above, DraftDay faces competition from DraftKings and FanDuel, each of which has far greater established customer bases, name recognition, marketing resources and financial resources than DraftDay. 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 ours. We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.

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. 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.
 
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

17






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.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
This prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in the table below of:
 
Up to 15,604,504 shares of our common stock currently issuable upon conversion of the Debentures (including accrued interest) sold to purchasers in the Private Placement, based on the initial conversion price of $0.3133 per share;
 
Up to an additional 33,284,402 shares of our common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, assuming adjustment of the conversion price to the lowest possible adjusted conversion price of $0.10 per share;
 
Up to 8,156,901 shares of our common stock currently issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Purchasers and the Placement Agent, based on the initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share; and
 
Up to an additional 17,398,664 shares of our common stock potentially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, assuming adjustment of the exercise price to the lowest possible adjusted exercise price of $0.10 per share.

19







Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement executed in connection with the Private Placement, we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, to register these resales of our common stock. We have also agreed to cause such registration statement to become effective, and to keep such registration statement effective. Our failure to satisfy the deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement may subject us to payment of certain monetary penalties pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
The selling stockholders identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered in this Offering” in the table below. The table below has been prepared based upon the information furnished to us by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly.
We have been advised that each of these selling stockholders acquired our Debentures and Warrants in the ordinary course of business, not for resale, and that none of these selling stockholders had, at the time of purchase, any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the related common stock.
The following table and disclosure following the table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the nature of any position, office or other material relationship, if any, which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, and the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder before this offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe that each of the selling stockholders named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned.
The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is registering (i) 48,888,906 shares of common stock that may become issuable if we are required to adjust the conversion price of the Debentures from the initial conversion price of $0.3133 to $0.10, the lowest possible conversion price, and (ii) 25,555,565 shares of common stock that may become issuable if we are required to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants from the initial exercise price of $0.3264 to $0.10. $0.10 is the lowest possible exercise price of the Warrants.

However, we may not be required to make any such adjustment to the conversion price of the Debentures or the exercise price of the Warrants, or any required adjustment may result in a conversion price or exercise price, as applicable, between $0.10 and $0.3133, with respect to the Debentures, and/or between $0.10 and $0.3264 with respect to the Warrants. As a result, the additional shares may never become issuable by us.
We have assumed all shares of common stock reflected on the table will be sold from time to time in the offering covered by this prospectus. We cannot provide an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering covered by this prospectus because the selling stockholders may offer some or all of their shares of common stock under this prospectus, and because we may not be required to issue any or all of the additional shares of common stock upon the adjustment of the conversion price of the convertible debentures.

(1) Assumes that all of the shares of common stock to be registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, including all shares of common stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants held by the selling stockholders, are converted at a price of $0.3133 per share for shares underlying the Debentures and $0.3264 per share for shares underlying the Warrants and are sold in the offering, and the selling stockholders do not acquire additional shares of our common stock after the date of this prospectus and prior to completion of the offering. An additional 50,683,066 shares of common stock would be issued if the exercise price for the Debentures and Warrants is adjusted to $0.10 per share.



(2) Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the investors may not convert the debentures or exercise the warrants if it would result in such investor owning in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock.



(3)  Employed by Aegis Capital Corporation, the Company’s placement agent for the private placement of debentures and warrants in July 2016.
 
Other than as described in the above table and accompanying footnotes or as further described below, (a) we have not made, and are not required to make, any potential payments to any selling stockholder, any affiliate of a selling stockholder, or any person with whom any selling stockholder has a contractual relationship regarding the Private Placement and (b) other than in connection with the Private Placement, the selling stockholders have not had, and do not have, any material relationship with us except for their ownership of our common stock. 
The holders of the Debentures issued in the Private Placement have ongoing rights to convert the Debentures into shares of our common stock and the holders of the Warrants issued in the Private Placement have ongoing rights to exercise the Warrants. We have disclosed the material terms of the Debentures and the Warrants elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition, the purchasers

21






in the Private Placement have ongoing registration rights related to the securities issued in the Private Placement pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, certain payments to the purchasers, in the Private Placement, of the Debentures and the Warrants. These potential payments include: (a) potential liquidated damages for failure to register or maintain an effective registration statement for the common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants (such liquidated damages not to exceed (i) 12% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each purchaser in the Financing and (ii) in any 30-day period, 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each purchaser) and (b) amounts payable if we fail to timely deliver certificates representing the required number of shares upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants. We intend to comply with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, Debentures, and Warrants and do not currently expect to make any such payments; however, it is possible that such payments may be required.
 
The Securities Purchase Agreement grants to the purchasers, until the twelve month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Financing, the right to participate in any private offering of securities (“Offered Securities”), on the same terms and conditions offered in such private offering, up to an amount equal to such purchaser’s pro rata portion of $2.0 million of the Offered Securities, which will be (i) based on such purchaser’s pro rata portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures purchased by all purchasers in the Financing (the “Basic Amount”) and (ii) with respect to each purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other purchasers as such purchaser may indicate it will purchase should the other purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts.

On July 20, 2016, the Company and the Purchasers entered into an Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Consent to Modify Debentures (the “Amendment and Consent”). The Amendment and Consent permits the Company to repay up to $2.0 million of indebtedness owed to Sillerman Investment Company IV, LLC (“SIC IV”), an affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman and also permits the Company to revise its existing Line of Credit with SIC IV to provide a line of credit to the Company of up to $5.0 million. In addition, the Amendment and Consent provides that, while the Debentures are outstanding, Mr. Sillerman will guarantee that the Company shall have $1.0 million available in its commercial bank account or otherwise available in liquid funds. At any time when the Company’s available funds fall below $1.0 million, Mr. Sillerman will provide the amounts necessary to make-up the shortfall in an aggregate amount not to exceed $6.0 million; however, the first $5.0 million of the guaranty shall be provided by drawing down on the Company’s Line of Credit with SIC IV. Any remaining amounts, up to a maximum aggregate of $1.0 million shall be provided by Mr. Sillerman.

In connection with the Amendment and Consent, the Company also entered into a Subordination Agreement to permit the transactions contemplated by the Amendment and Consent and an amendment to the Exchange Agreement. 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE 
The selling stockholders will determine at what price they may sell the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
Each selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

22







settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%). 
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the selling stockholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the securities covered by this prospectus have been sold or (ii) the date on which the securities covered by this prospectus may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect. In certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be

23






subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
 

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive proceeds from the sale of common stock under this prospectus. We would, however, receive approximately $2,662,412.16 from the selling stockholders if they exercise their Warrants in full on a cash basis, which we will use primarily for working capital purposes. The Warrant holders may exercise their Warrants at any time in accordance with the terms thereof until their expiration, as further described under “Description of Securities.” If there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the common stock underlying the Warrants as of certain time periods (as provided in the Warrants), the Warrant holders may choose to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless exercise” or “net exercise” basis. If they do so, we will not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. Because the Warrant holders may exercise the Warrants largely in their own discretion, if at all, we cannot plan on specific uses of proceeds beyond application of proceeds to the purposes herein described. We have agreed to bear the expenses (other than any underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions) in connection with the registration of the common stock being offered hereby by the selling stockholders.


 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES 
Recapitalization and Reverse Stock Split
On March 19, 2014, we effectuated a 1-for-80 reverse stock split (the “1-for-80 Reverse Split”). Under the terms of the 1-for-80 Reverse Split, each share of our common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-eightieth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholders. Fractional shares were cashed out. On April 30, 2014, we completed a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”), pursuant to which all of our Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock outstanding at the time were converted into shares of our common stock.
Authorized Capital Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, including (i) 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (with a stated value equal to $1,000 per share), (ii) 50,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (with a stated value equal to $1,000 per share), (iii) 100,000 shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (with a stated value equal to $1,000 per share), (iv) 150 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (with a stated value equal to $1,000 per share), and (v) 10,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (with a stated value equal to $1,000 per share).

As a part of the Private Placement, the Company issued $4.4 million principal amount of Debentures. The Debentures mature on the one-year anniversary of the issuance date thereof. The Debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.3133 per share (the “Conversion Price”).

27






Based on such initial Conversion Price, the Debentures will be convertible into up to 33,284,402 shares of common stock (including accrued interest). If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock, rights to purchase shares of its common stock, or securities convertible into shares of its common stock for a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price then in effect will be decreased to equal such lower price. The foregoing adjustments to the Conversion Price will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans. In addition, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. However, in no event will the Conversion Price be less than $0.10 per share. The Debentures are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company assets in accordance with a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”).
The Debentures bear interest at 10% per annum with interest payable upon maturity or on any earlier redemption date. At any time after the issuance date, the Company will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures, plus all accrued but unpaid interest at a price equal to 120% of such amount. The holders of Debentures shall have the right to convert any or all of the amount to be redeemed into common stock prior to redemption. Subject to certain exceptions, the Debentures contain customary covenants against incurring additional indebtedness and granting additional liens and contain customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Debentures, a holder of Debentures may require the Company to pay the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the Conversion Price multiplied by the daily volume weighted average price or (ii) 115% of the outstanding principal amount of plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest.
On July 20, 2016, the Company and the Purchasers entered into an Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Consent to Modify Debentures (the “Amendment and Consent”). The Amendment and Consent provides that, while the Debentures are outstanding, Mr. Sillerman will guarantee that the Company shall have $1.0 million available in its commercial bank account or otherwise available in liquid funds. At any time when the Company’s available funds fall below $1.0 million, Mr. Sillerman will provide (the “Sillerman Guaranty”) the amounts necessary to make-up the shortfall in an aggregate amount not to exceed $6.0 million; however, the first $5.0 million of the guaranty shall be provided by drawing down on the Company’s Line of Credit with SIC IV. Any remaining amounts, up to a maximum aggregate of $1.0 million shall be provided by Mr. Sillerman.
Description of Warrants issued in Private Placement
As a part of the Private Placement, the Company issued Warrants to the Purchasers providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,092,957 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share. Subject to certain limitations, the Warrants are exercisable on any date after the date of issuance and the exercise price for the Warrant is subject to adjustment for certain events, such as stock splits and stock dividends. If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock, rights to purchase shares of its common stock, or securities convertible into shares of its common stock for a price per share that is less than the conversion price of the Debentures, the exercise price of the Warrants will be decreased to a lower price based on the amount by which the conversion price of the Debentures was reduced due to such transaction. The foregoing adjustments to the exercise price for future stock issues will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans. In addition, the exercise price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. The Warrants will expire 5 years from the initial issuance date.
In addition, the Company issued to Aegis Capital Corporation, the placement agent in connection with the Private Placement, warrants providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,063,944 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
The provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage or make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest or other change in our management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial amount of our voting stock. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish, or could deter, transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests or in our best interests. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of our control. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.
Delaware Statutory Business Combinations Provision.  We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL. Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” is defined broadly to include a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and, subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.
Election and Removal of Directors.  Except as may otherwise be provided by the DGCL, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, at an annual meeting or a special meeting called for that purpose, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, provided a quorum is present. Vacancies on our board of directors resulting from the removal of directors and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office (although less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director. This system of electing and removing directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of our directors. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Proposals and Stockholder Nominations of Directors.  Our bylaws provide that, for nominations to the board of directors or for other business to be properly brought by a stockholder before a meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must first have given timely notice of the proposal in writing to our Secretary. For an annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice generally must be delivered not less than 30 days or more than 60 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 40 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to

29






stockholders, notice, to be considered timely, must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.
Special Meetings of Stockholders.  Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time only by the President or by a majority of the directors then in office or by stockholders of record holding not less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding.
Blank-Check Preferred Stock.  Our board of directors will be authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and that, if issued, could operate as a “poison pill” to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that our board of directors does not approve.
Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of a Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our bylaws and certificate of incorporation provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless any of our officers, directors, employees or agents and reimburse such persons for any and all judgments, fines, liabilities, amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred directly or indirectly in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, for which such persons served in any capacity at the request of us, to which such person is, was or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is, was or becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of us; provided that, (i) such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of us, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (ii) no indemnification is payable if a court having jurisdiction determined such indemnification to be unlawful. Additionally, no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person was determined to be liable to us, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court deems proper.
We do not believe that such indemnification affects the capacity of such person acting as our officer, director or control person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following management discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the historical audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company's historical audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Our historical results of operations reflected in our consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations. All financial numbers in this section are in thousands of dollars ($'000) except share and per share data and unless otherwise noted.

Function(x) Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us" and/or "our") was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994, and was formerly known as DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc., Viggle Inc., Function (X) Inc. and Gateway Industries, Inc.

Overview

Function(x) Inc. (the “Company” and/or “Function(x)”) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994. We are a diversified media and entertainment company and conduct our three lines of business, including digital publishing through Wetpaint.com, Inc. (“Wetpaint”) and Rant, Inc. (“Rant”), fantasy sports gaming through DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. (“DDGG”), and digital content distribution through Choose Digital, Inc. (“Choose Digital”).

32






We operate Wetpaint, a leading online destination for entertainment news for millennial women, covering the latest in television, music, and pop culture. With the recent acquisition of assets of Rant, a leading digital publisher in diversified areas, Function(x) expanded its reach in the digital publishing arena. We are also the largest shareholder of DraftDay.com, which is positioned to become a significant player in the fantasy sports market, offering a high-quality daily fantasy sports experience both directly to consumers and to businesses desiring turnkey solutions to new revenue streams. We also operate Choose Digital, a digital marketplace platform that allows companies to incorporate digital content into existing rewards and loyalty programs in support of marketing and sales initiatives.

As described in the section entitled the “Perk.com Transaction” below, on December 13, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Perk Agreement”) with Perk.com, Inc. (“Perk”) to sell our rewards business, including the Viggle app, to Perk. This asset sale subsequently closed on February 8, 2016.

As the nature of our business has changed, we changed our name from DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. to Function(x) Inc., and changed our ticker symbol from DDAY to FNCX.

We recently acquired assets of Rant for $2,000 in assumed liabilities, a $3,000 note, and 4,435 shares of Function(x) Inc. Series E Convertible Preferred Stock which, upon satisfaction of certain conditions including shareholder approval, will be convertible into shares of our common stock equal to 22% of the fully diluted shares outstanding, in a move to become a market leader in social publishing.

Our Strategy

We aspire to be become the #1 Interactive Media Platform by leveraging and building on our existing platform and current user base. Our three pronged strategy include, (a) further developing our platform connecting content owners with their audience through live or on-demand video channels, (b) enhance our comprehensive built-in monetization model for content contributors and distribution partners, and (c) focus on building a technology driven ultimate user engagement platform supporting video, blogs, mobile, social, e-commerce and analytics. We intend to grow our business organically by integrating our recently acquired businesses and by pursuing acquisitions of assets or businesses that would enhance our presence as a media platform.

Our immediate objective is to successfully integrate Wetpaint and Rant assets and lay the foundation as well as refine processes that can serve as a blueprint for future acquisitions and growth. As part of the integration process we plan to develop a solid and predictable revenue model for our Social Publishing business aiming for profitability in near-term, implement scalable but lean operational processes and staffing within product development and ad revenue divisions and finalize a long-term plan that embraces product innovation with the sole purpose of defining us as the leading player in Interactive Media Publishing with a focus on video, social, mobile, e-commerce and predictive analytics.
Digital Publishing

Our digital publishing businesses include Wetpaint.com and Rant Inc. Wetpaint is a leading entertainment news destination for millennial women. Covering the latest in television, music, celebrities, entertainment news, fashion, and pop culture, Wetpaint reaches millions of unique users on a monthly basis. Through Wetpaint, we publish more than 55 new articles, videos, and galleries each day. Wetpaint is a social publisher whose target audience is millennial women, primarily 18- to 34-year-old women. With social packaging around original entertainment news content, we showcase exclusive interviews, breaking stories, and our fangirl spin on pop culture. We generate content through our team of in-house professional writers and editors who are experts in their fields. Each writer is immersed in pop culture and what is happening on-screen and behind the scenes of fans’ favorite TV shows and movies. They seek to deliver content to our readers in a fun, visual and informative way and to ensure that our fans are up to date on all the latest entertainment news and gossip.

Wetpaint is a leading-edge media platform that uses its proprietary state-of-the-art technologies and expertise in social media to build and monetize audiences. We are very focused on knowing our audience, which is made possible through our proprietary Social Distribution System ("SDS"), a patented technology-based social experimentation and publishing platform. Wetpaint’s competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content by getting it to the right audience at the right place and time on the internet.

To enhance our digital publishing business, we recently acquired assets of Rant Inc. (“Rant”). Rant is a leading digital publisher that publishes original content in 13 different verticals, most notably in sports, entertainment, pets, cars, and food. Adweek published that Rant’s flagship RantSports.com property was ranked #1 by Quantcast for target digital ad buying for the 2015 holiday season, indicating the power of reaching a targeted audience. Rant and its expanding internet property lineup has

33






established itself as a leading innovator in online media consumption. Known for the well-established brand RantSports, Rant has since expanded its reach towards the areas of lifestyle, fitness, exercise, entertainment, technology, and celebrities. Rant was recently named both #18 overall on Inc 500’s Fastest Growing Companies - #1 in Media - and #31 on Forbes’ Most Promising Companies of 2015.

As a complement to our existing Wetpaint publishing business, Rant brings an expanded reach into sports, lifestyle, and entertainment publishing. The combined properties currently have approximately12.7 million fans on their Facebook pages and, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, generated an average of 14.5 million unique visitors per month. With the acquisition of Rant, we gain a highly optimized digital media delivery technology which amplifies the speed of digital content publishing, getting information and relevant advertising to the end user more quickly than before. Rant’s platform is designed for desktop and mobile content at the billions-of-pageviews per year level. Because of its low cost of operation, the coupling of the Rant platform and the SDS technology creates powerful tools in digital content publishing.

Our digital publishing businesses are very focused on knowing their audience. This is made possible through our proprietary SDS, a patented technology-based social experimentation and publishing platform. Our competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content, getting it to the right audience at the right place at the right time primarily through social media. The technology is designed to generate fans on our pages on Facebook and other social media outlets. Our content is then displayed in the fans’ feeds on Facebook and other social media sites, which can then drive traffic to our websites. Our technology contains a test and measurement system that delivers real-time audience insights, and provides optimized distribution by audience. Because we use this proprietary technology, a significant amount of our website traffic is generated through social media channels, particularly Facebook. Facebook and other social media outlets routinely update their algorithms to adjust what content is displayed in users’ feeds. The test and measurement feature of our technology help us to stay current in maximizing website traffic from social media channels as these algorithms change. We have seven issued patents related to the SDS technology.

Our digital publishing businesses generate revenue by displaying advertisements to our users as they view content on our websites. We source ads by working directly with advertisers, or their advertising agencies, and by working through several third party ad networks who are all bidding against each other for our advertising inventory in real time. Advertisements are typically priced as a base price per thousand views, also known as Cost-Per-Mille (CPM), but can also be priced as a base price per click, also known as Cost-Per-Click (CPC), or as a base price per intended action, also known as Cost-Per-Action (CPA). The vast majority of our revenues are derived from ads sourced from third party ad networks.

DraftDay.com

The DraftDay.com business (“DraftDay Business”and/or “DraftDay”) conducts business as DDGG and operates a daily fantasy sports website at DraftDay.com, and other white-label websites on behalf of its business-to-business clients. The DraftDay business is focused on the business-to-business market allowing consumer brands entry into the fantasy sports market with turnkey solutions in the United States and Canada. Outside of the U.S., Draft Day Gaming Group launched the DraftStars daily fantasy platform for CrownBet, the leading sports betting operation in Australia. However, within the U.S., by October of 2015 the regulatory landscape adversely shifted and all DFS companies including DDGG were faced with regulatory uncertainty. The DraftDay Business has paid out more than $30 million in prize winnings since its inception. DDGG’s model provides three unique benefits to white label customers: (1) business-to-business white label strategy that significantly reduces customer acquisition cost risks, (2) partner liquidity sharing that provides opportunity for large prize pools via aggregation, and (3) our platform has the latest in consumer protections in the industry.

DDGG supplies a full white-label solution that allows businesses to participate in the fast growing skill-based game market. By using DDGG's white label solution, a business can offer a fantasy sports product to its customers without incurring the ongoing technology costs and other capital expenditures. By focusing on offering white-label solutions to businesses, DDGG's strategy is to build a network of players through the established databases of DDGG's participating clients. This model is strategically focused to minimize costs of user acquisition. In addition, the aggregated network of users across DDGG's clients' databases creates larger prize pools to generate higher player engagement and retention. DDGG continues to develop its business plan by focusing on the regulated market of casinos as well as the entertainment and sports industries.

Outside of the U.S., DDGG launched the DraftStars daily fantasy platform for CrownBet, the leading sports betting operation in Australia. However, within the U.S., by October of 2015 the regulatory landscape adversely shifted and all DFS companies including DDGG were faced with regulatory uncertainty.

On September 8, 2015, we and our subsidiary DDGG entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “DraftDay Asset Purchase Agreement”) with MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT Capital”) and MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the assets of the DraftDay Business from MGT Capital and MGT Sports. The DraftDay Business operates a daily fantasy sports website at DraftDay.com. The DraftDay Business is focused on the business-to-business market allowing consumer brands entry into the fantasy sports market with turnkey solutions. The DraftDay Business has paid out more than $30 million in prize winnings since its inception.

In exchange for the acquisition of the DraftDay Business, the Company paid MGT Sports the following: (a) 1,269,342 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), (b) a promissory note in the amount of $234, which will be due September 29, 2015, (c) a promissory note in the amount of $1,875 due March 8, 2016, and (d) 2,550,000 shares of common stock of DDGG.  In addition, in exchange for providing certain transitional services, DDGG will issue to MGT Sports a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of DDGG common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. In addition, in exchange for the release of various liens and encumbrances, we also agreed to issue to third parties: (a) 84,633 shares of our Common Stock, (b) a promissory note in the amount of $15 due September 29, 2015 and (c) a promissory note in the amount of $125 due March 8, 2016, and DDGG issued: (i) 150,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of DDGG common stock at $0.40 per share. Accordingly, we issued a total of 1,353,975 shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of the DraftDay Business. We contributed the assets of the DraftDay Business to DDGG, such that we now own a total of 11,250,000 shares of DDGG common stock.

In the aggregate, we issued promissory notes in the principal amount of $250 due and paid on September 29, 2015 and in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000 due March 8, 2016. We were not able to make the payment at the due date and, on March 24, 2016, converted $824 of the promissory notes to common stock and $110 of the promissory notes to a Series D Preferred Stock. On April 13, 2016, MGT Sports converted all 110 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock. Accordingly, we issued 366,630 shares of common stock to MGT Sports and, thereafter, there are no shares of our Series D Preferred Stock outstanding.

In addition, on September 8, 2015, DDGG entered into an agreement with Sportech Racing, LLC (“Sportech”) pursuant to which Sportech agreed to provide certain management services to DDGG in exchange for 9,000,000 shares of DDGG common stock. As a result of the transactions described above, the Company owns a total of 11,250,000 shares of DDGG common stock, Sportech Inc., an affiliate of Sportech, owns 9,000,000 shares of DDGG common stock, MGT Sports owns 2,550,000 shares of DDGG common stock and an additional third party owns 150,000 shares of DDGG common stock.  In addition, MGT Sports holds a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of DDGG common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 and an additional third party holds a warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of DDGG common stock at $0.40 per share.

Technology

Our digital publishing, gaming and digital content distribution businesses are enabled by multiple technology platforms primarily developed internally including proprietary and patented software some of which are briefly described below.

Our digital content distribution businesses are very focused on knowing their audience. This is made possible through our proprietary SDS technology. Our competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content - getting it to the right audience at the right place at the right time primarily through social media. The technology is designed to generate fans on our pages on Facebook and other social media outlets. Our content is then displayed in the fans’ feeds on Facebook and other social media sites, which can then drive traffic to our websites. Our technology contains a test and measurement system that delivers real-time audience insights, and provides optimized distribution by audience. Because we use this proprietary technology, a significant amount of our website traffic is generated through social media channels, particularly Facebook. Facebook and other social media outlets routinely update their algorithms for what content is displayed in users’ feeds. The test and measurement features of our technology help us to stay current in maximizing website traffic from social media channels as these algorithms change. We have seven issued patents related to the SDS technology.

The digital media catalog can be fully customized to the client’s needs and can involve integrating our full-featured API, or employing our services to create a custom, seamless, standalone, and managed storefront accessible by their member base. The platform is highly scalable and has multiple e-commerce capabilities.

DraftDay has built a sophisticated platform that allows for each operator to have their own portal to drive their customers to, own the data and feed into a pool with other operators. The state of the art technology platform enables us to offer multiple gaming products covering all major sports. Our technology platform is highly scalable and also has proven business-to-business white-label capabilities. In addition, the platform is complemented by a highly responsive design / HTML5 mobile webapp capabilities.

We protect our technology through seeking intellectual property registration and filings. We register certain domain names, trademarks and service marks in the United States and in certain locations outside the United States. Circumstances outside of our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in the United States or other countries in which we provide our solution. In addition, the efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business, our ability to compete and our operating results.

Viggle Rewards Business - Discontinued Operations

Viggle is a mobile and web-based entertainment marketing platform that uses incentives to make content consumption and discovery more rewarding for media companies, brands and consumers. Viggle helps guide consumers towards various forms of media consumption with television enhancement, music discovery, entertainment content publishing and distributed viewing reminders.

For brands, Viggle provides advertising clients with targeted interactive ads to amplify their TV messaging to verified audiences. For media companies, Viggle delivers promotional benefits by driving viewers to specific shows, engaging them in a richer content experience, and increasing awareness of promoted shows through web, mobile and social channels. We sold this business to Perk in a transaction that closed on February 8, 2016.

Perk.com Transaction

Perk Agreement

On December 13, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Perk (the “Perk Agreement”). Perk’s shares are currently traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In connection with the Perk Agreement, we agreed to sell to Perk certain assets relating to the Viggle rewards business, including the Viggle App. We retained our interest in DraftDay Gaming Group,

36






Inc., Wetpaint.com, Inc., Choose Digital, Inc. and the assets relating to our MyGuy game. The closing of this transaction subsequently occurred on February 8, 2016.
Purchase Price and Adjustments
As consideration for the assets sold, we received the following consideration:
1,500,000 shares of Perk common shares free and clear of all liens, less the number of shares of Perk common shares applied to the repayment of principal and interest of the credit facility described below (the “Initial Perk Shares”);

2,000,000 shares of Perk common shares if Perk’s combined revenue, as calculated pursuant to the Perk Agreement, is at least $130,000 for the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2016 or January 1, 2017 (the “Earn-Out”);

A warrant (“Warrant 1”) entitling us to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Perk common shares at a strike price of CDN $6.25 per share in the event the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of shares of Perk common shares is greater than or equal to CDN $12.50 per share for 20 consecutive trading days in the two year period following the closing of the Perk.com Transaction;

A warrant (“Warrant 2”, and together with Warrant 1, the “Perk Warrants”) entitling the us purchase 1,000,000 shares of Perk common shares at a strike price of CDN $6.25 per share in the event that the VWAP of Perk common shares is greater than or equal to CDN $18.75 per share for 20 consecutive trading days in the two year period following the closing of the Perk.com Transaction; and

Perk also assumed certain of our liabilities, including points liability.

At the time we entered into the Perk Agreement, Perk provided us with a $1,000 secured line of credit, which we fully drew down. We had the option of repaying amounts outstanding under that line of credit by reducing the number of Initial Perk Shares by 130,000. We exercised this option, so we received 1,370,000 shares of Perk common stock at closing, and the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit were deemed paid in full.

Escrow

At the closing, 37.5% (562,600) of the Initial Perk Shares were issued and delivered to an escrow agent to be used exclusively for the purpose of securing our indemnification obligations under the Perk Agreement. The escrow agent will hold such shares for one year from the closing in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement.

Additionally, after the closing, we delivered 357,032 shares to satisfy an obligation to a prior trade creditor.

Going Concern

Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2015, 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 that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of us as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders and our ability to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue development of our 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, and therefore there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Assessment of Internal Controls

We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our internal controls over disclosure controls and procedures was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which are the consequences of our limited financial resources and small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (ii) insufficient levels of supervision and review

37






of the disclosure controls and procedures process; and (iii) failure to design, implement and maintain adequate operational and internal controls and processes to identify complex transactions requiring specialized accounting expertise.

Revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $678, a decrease of $726 from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was driven by the sale of the Viggle business to Perk, which led to a temporary cessation in Viggle user redemption of digital media on the Choose Digital platform and thus lower revenues in the amount of $345 for Choose Digital. Additionally, due to the Viggle business sale, Wetpaint's sales force was transferred to Perk, leading to a loss of direct sales advertising revenues for Wetpaint in the amount of $479. DDGG earned $98 in revenues in the period, offsetting the revenue decreases experienced by Wetpaint and Choose Digital.

Revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $3,933, a decrease of $361 from the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily driven by the loss of Wetpaint's sales force which resulted in lower revenues for this business unit. The Wetpaint revenue decrease was offset by an increase in Choose Digital revenues and DDGG's revenues from a recent investment in the Draftday.com platform. Choose Digital revenues increased over this period due to a spike in Viggle points redemption for digital media rewards.

Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net was $1,083 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $148 from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due to higher levels of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Interest expense, net was $2,866 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $1,451 from the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due to higher levels of debt during the nine months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method of accounting as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("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 March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we provided a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets and thus recognized no tax benefit.

Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $5,674, an increase of $3,523 from the year ended June 30, 2014. The increase was driven by a $2,195 increase in Wetpaint revenues and a $1,681 increase in Choose Digital revenues. The increase in Wetpaint revenues is primarily due to the fact that Wetpaint was purchased mid-fiscal year in December 2013. The increase in Choose Digital revenues is primarily due to the fact that Choose Digital was purchased at the end of the fiscal year in June 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $49,157 for the year ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $10,353 from the prior year. The increase was attributable to increases in Wetpaint of $4,800 and Choose Digital of $8,030; offset by a decrease in Other of $2,477. Wetpaint was purchased mid-fiscal year in December 2013 and the expenses presented for the year ended June 30, 2014 include only partial year expense totals. The increase in Wetpaint selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to personnel costs of $2,469 and stock compensation expense of $1,460. Choose Digital was purchased at the end of the fiscal year in June 2014 and the expenses presented for the year ended June 30, 2014 include partial month expense totals.

42






The increase in Choose Digital expenses also include a write off of certain intangible assets recorded at the acquisition of Choose Digital of $2,085. The decrease in the Other segment was primarily due to an increase in loss on contingent consideration related to the Wetpaint acquisition of $4,286 offset by a decrease in stock compensation allocated to corporate departments of $5,927.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $2,050 for the year ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $755 from the year ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was due to the timing of proceeds and payments of loans along with the associated interest rates.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("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 June 30, 2015 and 2014, we provided a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and thus recognized no tax benefit.


Liquidity and Capital Resources (amounts in thousands)
 
Cash
 
At March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we had cash balances of $623 and $4,217, respectively.  

Available Line of Credit

As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we had approximately $1,737 and $7,000 available under our lines of credits, respectively.

The Company's 12-Month Plan for its Business (amounts in thousands)
 
Our capital requirements to fund our operating segments are variable based on a few key factors. With respect to Wetpaint, the key factors include quality content creation, monthly unique visitors and our ability to procure advertising inventory to properly monetize our user base. With respect to Choose Digital, the key factors are our ability to launch new clients and the cost and our ability to purchase digital content at an attractive price. These factors combine to determine our cash needs for calendar 2016. As we increase Wetpaint's number of monthly unique users and number of advertising partners, we would expect to generate increased revenue from the sale of digital media on the Wetpaint website and expect these sales to be a source of liquidity within such period for this operating segment. If we can increase Choose Digital's client base, we would expect to generate increased revenue from the provision of digital content to the clients. However, there is no guarantee that revenues will exceed business fixed and variable costs in calendar 2016 or ever. With respect to our operating costs, employee salaries, cost of content expenditures, leases of office space, and costs of cloud computing and hosting services constitute the majority of our monthly operating expenses. With the exception of leased office space, our operating costs across the operating segments are expected to increase as we add users and clients, work to create more content to entice users, and create new features and functionality on the Choose Digital platform. The overall level of expenses will be reflective of management’s view of the current opportunities for the operating segments within their respective marketplaces and our strategic decisions. We utilize significant computing resources across our business to run and develop our website and platforms and purchase certain server hardware; however, we lease the majority of needed computing hardware, bandwidth, and co-location facilities. Accordingly, we can limit the cost of these servers to be in line with business growth. We plan to carefully manage our growth and costs to attempt to meet the goals of our business plan for such period.

We have projected the plan for our business for the next 12 months which is subject to change resulting from both internal and external circumstances. Our 12-month plan has not been reviewed for consistency with U.S. GAAP, and has been prepared on a modified accrual basis. Our 12-month plan is based on assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties. Our 12-month

43






plan represents our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this filing on Form S-1, and our actual future results may be materially different from what we set forth below.

There is no assurance that the plan set forth herein will be successful. If implemented, actual results may vary significantly from the plan described in this filing on future Form S-1. We do not warrant or guarantee the foregoing. Our June 30, 2015 financial statements contain a going concern emphasis in our audit opinion.

Our current plan will require capital of approximately $7 million over the next 12-month period to cover the fixed expenses and capital needs of our Company, including employee payroll, server capacity, research and development, office space and capital expenditures. As of the date of this filing on Form S-1, we have $4.4 million available to draw on our credit lines to fund our operations. In order to meet our capital requirements for the next 12 months, we anticipate that we will need approximately $2.6 million in new capital. We believe revenue will continue to improve over the next 12 months as we continue to optimize our monetization strategy, resulting in increased advertising on our websites. Although the increase in revenue suggests 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. Additionally, incremental cash funding may be necessary in the event of an identified acquisition, which is cash flowing in the near term.

The sale of our reward's business to Perk reduced our cash burn and our rewards points liabilities. With the conclusion of the Perk Transaction, we are in the process of reviewing our remaining three business segments and the cash needs for the 2016 calendar year to cover fixed expenses and capital, including employee payroll, content expenditures, server capacity, office space and capital expenditures. The amount of capital required will depend on strategic decisions to be made with those business segments. We intend to increase revenue over the next 12 months as we focus on selling more advertising on the Wetpaint website and, depending on our strategic decisions, working to improve the Choose Digital platform. We also intend to reduce our expenses. There is no guarantee that we will be successful. Our ability to sell increasing amounts of advertising is dependent on the amount of monthly unique users and the activity of those users on the Wetpaint website. Our ability to generate digital content sales for Choose Digital is dependent on our ability to launch digital rewards programs for new clients and maintain our digital content licenses, which are currently in arrears. Our DraftDay needs will depend, among other things, on changes in the regulatory environment and our success in expanding our product reach to third party operators.

The actual amount of funds required for the next 12 months may vary depending upon number of users and clients, the content, rewards, and related expenses, the development costs for the launch of new features and product enhancements, and the speed with which the legal and regulatory issues within the fantasy sports market are resolved. In the event that the required cash is not funded from revenue, we will need to raise additional capital through either debt or equity financing. Alternatively, we would need to revise our 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.


Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following accounting policies require significant management judgments and estimates:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize 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, we consider a signed agreement, a binding insertion order or other similar documentation to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement.

Advertising Revenue: we generate 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 us 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 our 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.

We recognized barter revenue and barter expense for the year ended June 30, 2015 of $437 and $437, respectively. We recognized barter revenue and barter expense for the year ended June 30, 2014 of $75 and $75, respectively. We recognized barter revenue and barter expense in the amount of $4 and $428 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and $28 and $390 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.
License Revenue: in addition to generating revenue from display and video advertising, from time to time, we may also generate revenue from licensing our proprietary audio recognition software and related loyalty platform. Generally, revenue from such agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Goodwill and Certain Other Long-Lived Assets

As required by ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we test goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of our 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. We have three reporting units: Wetpaint, DDGG, and Choose Digital. The annual goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. First, we determine if the carrying value of any reporting unit exceeds its fair value, which would indicate that goodwill may be impaired. If we then determine that goodwill may be impaired, we compare the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying amount to determine if there is an impairment loss.

46






Historically we have operated as one reporting unit; however, in connection with the sale of our rewards business, we divided our remaining operations into 3 reporting units. In conjunction with this movement, we engaged a third-party valuation firm to test the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units for goodwill impairment. The DDGG reporting unit was not tested for impairment at December 31, 2015 as the acquisition of this entity occurred in September 2015. We determined that the fair value of both of the Wetpaint and Choose Digital reporting units were significantly below their respective carrying values, indicating that goodwill related to these reporting units may be impaired. We determined the fair value of all long-lived assets other than goodwill related to each reporting unit and calculated the residual goodwill value for each. Upon comparing the residual goodwill values to the respective carrying values, we determined that there was an impairment loss on both the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units.

We recorded an impairment loss of $3,122 related to the Choose Digital reporting unit and $10,249 related to the Wetpaint reporting unit during the three months ended December 31, 2015. There were no impairments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or the year ended June 30, 2015.

We account for the impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), 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.

At June 30, 2015, we determined that certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Choose Digital (see Note 4, Acquisitions in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail regarding the Choose Digital acquisition) were impaired. Due to a shift in our business operations and utilization of our resources, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we determined that intangible assets related to customer relationships and trade name no longer had value. Therefore, such assets were written off as of June 30, 2015. The total amount of the write off was $2,086 and is included in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no other impairments of long-lived assets during the year ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

At December 31, 2015, we determined that the fair value of the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units tested was significantly below the respective carrying values and assessed the fair values of the long-lived assets other than goodwill for each reporting unit. Upon comparing the fair values of the long-lived assets to their respective carrying values, we recorded a loss of $1,331 on intangible assets related to Choose Digital's software and licenses, and a loss of $11,469 on intangible assets related to Wetpaint's technology, trademark, customer relationships and non-competition agreements, during the three months ended December 31, 2015. No impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Capitalized Software

We record amortization of acquired software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.

In addition, we record and capitalize internally generated computer software and, appropriately, certain internal costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $1,610, $5,006 and $5,244, as of March 31, 2016, June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-use Software”. At the time software is placed into service, we record amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.

Income Taxes

We use 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.


47






Stock-Based Compensation

We account 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. We use 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). This update is intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affects all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including:(a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02
requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a
lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a
right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease
term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments- Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). Additionally, it requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Lastly, the standard eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, “Income taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes Business” (“ASU 2015-17”). Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


48






In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU 2015-16"). This standard requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the ASU 2015-16 require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.  In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (July 1, 2017 for the Company). We do not believe that the adoption of ASU 2015-16 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS
Our Company
Function(x) Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” our “our”) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994. We are a diversified media and entertainment company and conduct our three lines of business, including digital publishing through Wetpaint, Inc. (“Wetpaint”) and Rant, Inc. (“Rant”), fantasy sports gaming through DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. (“DDGG”), and digital content distribution through Choose Digital, Inc. (“Choose Digital”).

We are a diversified media and entertainment company comprised of digital publishing, gaming and digital content distribution businesses. We operate Wetpaint.com, a leading online destination for entertainment news for millennial women, covering the latest in television, music, and pop culture. With the recent acquisition of assets of Rant, a leading digital publisher in diversified areas, we greatly expanded our reach in the digital publishing arena. We are also the largest shareholder of DraftDay.com, which is positioned to become a significant player in the fantasy sports market, offering a high-quality daily fantasy sports experience both directly to consumers and to businesses desiring turnkey solutions to new revenue streams. We also operate Choose Digital, a digital marketplace platform that allows companies to incorporate digital content into existing rewards and loyalty programs in support of marketing and sales initiatives.

As described in the section entitled the “Perk.com Transaction”, on December 13, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Perk Agreement”) with Perk.com, Inc. (“Perk”) to sell our rewards business, including the Viggle app, to Perk. This asset sale subsequently closed on February 8, 2016.

As the nature of our business has changed, we changed our name from DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. to Function(x) Inc., and changed our ticker symbol from DDAY to FNCX.
    
We recently acquired assets of Rant for $2 million in assumed liabilities, a $3 million note, and 4,435 shares of Function(x) Inc. Series E Convertible Preferred Stock which, upon satisfaction of certain conditions including shareholder approval, will be convertible into shares of our common stock equal to 22% of the fully diluted shares outstanding, in a move to become a market leader in social publishing.

Digital Publishing

Our digital publishing businesses include Wetpaint and Rant. Wetpaint is a leading entertainment news destination for millennial women. Covering the latest in television, music, celebrities, entertainment news, fashion, and pop culture, Wetpaint reaches millions of unique users on a monthly basis. Through Wetpaint, we publish more than 55 new articles, videos, and galleries each day. Wetpaint is a social publisher whose target audience is millennial women, primarily 18- to 34-year-old women. With social packaging around original entertainment news content, we showcase exclusive interviews, breaking stories, and our fangirl spin on pop culture. We generate content through our team of in-house professional writers and editors who are experts in their fields. Each writer is immersed in pop culture and what is happening on-screen and behind the scenes of fans’ favorite TV shows and movies. They seek to deliver content to our readers in a fun, visual and informative way and to ensure that our fans are up to date on all the latest entertainment news and gossip.

Wetpaint is a leading-edge media platform that uses its proprietary state-of-the-art technologies and expertise in social media to build and monetize audiences. We are very focused on knowing our audience, which is made possible through our proprietary Social Distribution System ("SDS"), a patented technology-based social experimentation and publishing platform. Wetpaint’s competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content by getting it to the right audience at the right place and time on the internet.

To enhance our digital publishing business, we recently acquired assets of Rant. Rant is a leading digital publisher that publishes original content in 13 different verticals, most notably in sports, entertainment, pets, cars, and food. Adweek published that Rant’s flagship RantSports.com property was ranked #1 by Quantcast for target digital ad buying for the 2015 holiday season, indicating the power of reaching a targeted audience. Rant and its expanding internet property lineup has established itself as a leading innovator in online media consumption. Known for the well-established brand RantSports, Rant has since expanded its reach towards the areas of lifestyle, fitness, exercise, entertainment, technology, and celebrities. Rant was recently named both #18 overall on Inc 500’s Fastest Growing Companies - #1 in Media - and #31 on Forbes’ Most Promising Companies of 2015.

As a complement to our existing Wetpaint publishing business, Rant brings an expanded reach into sports, lifestyle, and entertainment publishing. The combined properties currently have approximately 12.7 million fans on their Facebook pages and, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, generated an average of 14.5 million unique visitors per month. With the acquisition of Rant,

50






we gain a highly optimized digital media delivery technology which amplifies the speed of digital content publishing, getting information and relevant advertising to the end user more quickly than before. Rant’s platform is designed for desktop and mobile content at the billions-of-pageviews per year level. Because of its low cost of operation, the coupling of the Rant platform and the SDS technology creates powerful tools in digital content publishing.

Our digital publishing businesses are very focused on knowing their audience. This is made possible through our proprietary SDS, a patented technology-based social experimentation and publishing platform. Our competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content, getting it to the right audience at the right place at the right time primarily through social media. The technology is designed to generate fans on our pages on Facebook and other social media outlets. Our content is then displayed in the fans’ feeds on Facebook and other social media sites, which can then drive traffic to our websites. Our technology contains a test and measurement system that delivers real-time audience insights, and provides optimized distribution by audience. Because we use this proprietary technology, a significant amount of our website traffic is generated through social media channels, particularly Facebook. Facebook and other social media outlets routinely update their algorithms to adjust what content is displayed in users’ feeds. The test and measurement feature of our technology help us to stay current in maximizing website traffic from social media channels as these algorithms change. We have seven issued patents related to the SDS technology.

Our digital publishing businesses generate revenue by displaying advertisements to our users as they view content on our websites. We source ads by working directly with advertisers, or their advertising agencies, and by working through several third party ad networks who are all bidding against each other for our advertising inventory in real time. Advertisements are typically priced as a base price per thousand views, also known as Cost-Per-Mille (CPM), but can also be priced as a base price per click, also known as Cost-Per-Click (CPC), or as a base price per intended action, also known as Cost-Per-Action (CPA). The vast majority of our revenues are derived from ads sourced from third party ad networks.

DraftDay.com

The DraftDay.com business (“DraftDay Business” and/or “DraftDay”) conducts business as DDGG and operates a daily fantasy sports website at DraftDay.com, and other white-label websites on behalf of its business-to-business clients. The DraftDay business is focused on the business-to-business market allowing consumer brands entry into the fantasy sports market with turnkey solutions in the United States and Canada. Outside of the U.S., Draft Day Gaming Group launched the DraftStars daily fantasy platform for CrownBet, the leading sports betting operation in Australia. However, within the U.S., by October of 2015 the regulatory landscape adversely shifted and all DFS companies including DDGG were faced with regulatory uncertainty. The DraftDay Business has paid out more than $30 million in prize winnings since its inception. DDGG’s model provides three unique benefits to white label customers: (1) business-to-business white label strategy that significantly that reduces customer acquisition cost risks, (2) partner liquidity sharing provides opportunity for large prize pools via aggregation, and (3) our platform has the latest in consumer protections in the industry.

DraftDay’s technology is a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform and powers the complete user experience, which can be linked to a new or existing website or integrated into an existing authentication process using a secure Application Program Interface (“API”). DraftDay manages all aspects of the website operation, including: taking the deposits, managing the tournaments, handling the withdrawals, and providing customer support on behalf of a client’s new or existing brand. Using its proprietary technology, DraftDay provides turnkey white-label solutions to organizations looking for ways to expand and monetize their existing user database.

DDGG supplies a full white-label solution that allows businesses to participate in the fast growing skill-based game market. By using DDGG's white label solution, a business can offer a fantasy sports product to its customers without incurring the ongoing technology costs and other capital expenditures. By focusing on offering white-label solutions to businesses, DDGG's strategy is to build a network of players through the established databases of DDGG's participating clients. This model is strategically focused to minimize costs of user acquisition. In addition, the aggregated network of users across DDGG's clients' databases creates larger prize pools to generate higher player engagement and retention. DDGG continues to develop its business plan by focusing on the regulated market of casinos as well as the entertainment and sports industries.

The DraftDay platform is web-based with enhanced mobile experiences, including Apps, that allow end users to engage in daily fantasy sports tournaments that span single or multiple days, creating rosters from all available players in a variety of tournament formats. Businesses working with DDGG receive seamless integration, enterprise marketing support, and state-of-the-art monitoring and reporting for revenue optimization.

51






DDGG employs industry-leading consumer protection protocols and technology, including geolocation services from GeoComply, identity verification (Know-Your-Customer) from IDology, and enhanced responsible play controls customized by locale.

The daily fantasy sports industry, including DDGG's business, is subject to an evolving legislative and regulatory landscape. Some states employ a “predominance” test or a “material factor” test to determine whether or not a game is one of skill. Others have specific laws prohibiting pay-to-play fantasy sports. Therefore, DDGG does not operate in Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, or Washington. Several state Attorneys General have issued opinions that daily fantasy sports either do or do not meet the states standards under their current laws. In those states with negative treatment, DDGG has suspended services until there is further clarity in those states through the legal, legislative, and regulatory processes. On November 10, 2015, the New York State Attorney General issued a letter to FanDuel and DraftKings, two of the largest competitors in the fantasy sports industry, stating that it believes that their activities constitute illegal gambling under New York law, and instructing them to cease their offerings to New York residents. As a result, DDGG has ceased its fantasy sports offerings to New York residents. However, on August 3, 2016, New York enacted a law that legalizes and regulates fantasy sports in New York. DDGG intends to seek that approval to operate from the New York state regulators.

Choose Digital

Choose Digital was founded in 2011 as a supply chain to the loyalty and incentive industry, allowing major programs (airline frequent flier, banks and hotel loyalty programs, etc.) to offer digital content as a reward redemption option. Choose Digital’s products and services allow any reward program to integrate our large digital media marketplace, giving their members the ability to browse, redeem, and download latest releases or classic favorites.

Choose Digital is a white-label digital marketplace featuring the latest and a wide range of digital content, including music, eBooks, and audiobooks. The content is sourced from leading record companies and book publishers. The marketplace can be fully branded and integrated seamlessly into clients' current online environments. Today Choose Digital’s marketplace powers a number of loyalty programs in the U.S. and Canada allowing customers and participants to enjoy the latest in digital content instantly.

Choose Digital generates revenues when participants in Choose Digital’s clients’ loyalty programs redeem loyalty credits for digital content provided by Choose Digital. For example, if a participant in a loyalty program redeems credits for a song download provided by Choose Digital, the client loyalty program pays Choose Digital for the download.

Choose Digital offers several custom and turnkey products for creating e-commerce web apps for selling digital music, eBooks, and audiobooks within small or large loyalty programs. The digital media catalog consists of new releases and large back-catalogs of major music labels and book publishers. New catalog items are added daily.

Choose Digital’s technology and expertise provides the ability for client companies and organizations to quickly add digital media items to their loyalty reward programs. The digital media catalog can be fully customized to the client’s needs and can involve integrating our full-featured API, or employing our services to create a custom, seamless, standalone, and managed storefront accessible by their member base.

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 and can easily shift consumption from one provider to another. There are numerous websites offering news and video related to entertainment, sports, fashion, and general news. For many, such as BuzzFeed and Vox, publishing digital content online is their principal business. Many other major media companies offer news and video related to entertainment, sports, fashion, and general news content online in addition to their television or radio distribution.

Wetpaint and Rant seek to compete by being very focused on knowing their audiences. This is made possible through our proprietary SDS technology. Our competitive advantage is this complete audience-development engine, which optimizes the packaging and distribution of content, getting it to the right audience at the right place at the right time on the social web.

DDGG competes with FanDuel and DraftKings, two established companies in the fantasy sports industry, as well as other competitors. In order to compete in the fantasy sports marketplace, DDGG intends to establish marketing and white-label relationships with various third parties. DDGG concentrates on the business-to-business market, allowing consumer brands entry into the fantasy sports market with turnkey solutions.

52







Choose Digital competes with other vendors who provide rewards and technology solutions to loyalty programs. These vendors differentiate themselves not only on their reward offering, but on their technology, advanced analytics, expertise, range of goods and services and execution. Increasingly, providers of rewards to loyalty programs position themselves as strategic partners of their clients.

Intellectual Property

We have filed trademarks and patents to protect our technology, some of which have been granted, and some of which are currently pending. The majority of our patent filings have been with respect to various aspects of the Social Distribution System. We anticipate that there will be patent and other filings in the future. We intend to protect any intellectual property rights we may acquire in the future through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, rights of publicity, and other laws, as well as licensing agreements and third party nondisclosure and assignment agreements. We generally do not register the copyrights associated with our content with the United States Copyright Office due to the relatively high cost we would incur to register all of our copyrights. Our failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Strategic Alternatives

Our independent directors continue to explore strategic alternatives to enhance value, including, among others, possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships, marketing alliances, acquisitions, sale of all or some of our business, or other possible transactions, including reorganization.

Employees

As of August 4, 2016, the Company had a total of 40 full-time employees. Management considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

Principal Executive Offices

The principal executive offices of our business are located at 902 Broadway, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10010 and our telephone number is (212) 231-0092.

Because Mr. Sillerman is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Company books a compensation charge for certain financing-related activities undertaken by Mr. Sillerman. These amounts are excluded because they do not constitute compensation to Mr. Sillerman for his service as an officer or director of the Company, but instead solely relate to certain financing arrangements. Specifically, the table excludes the following:  (a) a $5,000 compensation charge related to the receipt by Sillerman Investment Company II, LLC (“SIC II”), an affiliate of Mr. Sillerman's, of 62,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock as an inducement for SIC II to enter into a $25,000 Line of Credit (the “$25 Million Line of Credit”) with the Company on February 11, 2013, (b) a compensation charge of $5,551 relating to Mr. Sillerman's receipt of warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock on March 11, 2013, as an

58






inducement to Mr. Sillerman to guarantee a term loan that the Company entered with Deutsche Bank Trust Companies America, (c) a $7,481 compensation charge relating to 103,909 shares of the Company's common stock received by Sillerman Investment Company, LLC (“SIC”) on March 11, 2013, as an inducement to convert a $20,000 line of credit that had previously been fully drawn into new 8% notes, (d) a compensation charge of $1,532 relating to warrants received by SIC II for a draw of $4,000 on the $25 Million Line of Credit on May 21, 2013, (e) compensation charges of $3,810 relating to warrants received by SIC II for draws under the $25 Million Line of Credit in the 2014 fiscal year, (f) a compensation charge of $6,259 relating to shares of the Company's Preferred Stock that SIC received in exchange for a promissory note, shares of the Company's Common Stock and warrants on September 16, 2013, and (g) compensation charges in fiscal year 2015 of $4,141, consisting of: (i) $2,049 relating to warrants issued to Sillerman Investment Company III LLC (“SIC III”) in connection with draws under a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company entered into on October 24, 2014 (the “SPA”) and (ii) compensation charges of $2,091 relating to Series C Preferred Stock issued to SIC III under the SPA.

These stock awards represent grants of RSUs. The per share fair value of RSUs granted was determined on the date of grant using the fair market value of the shares on that date.
(3) 
The amount reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the option awards and stock awards granted during the fiscal year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. We provide information regarding the assumptions used to calculate the value of the option awards and stock awards in Note 10, Share-Based Payments, to our financial statements. There can be no assurance that awards will vest or options will be exercised (in which case no value will be realized by the individual), or that the value upon exercise or vesting, as applicable, will approximate the aggregate grant date fair value.

Compensation of Non-Employee Directors
Employee directors do not receive any separate compensation for their board service. Non-employee directors receive the compensation described below.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
There are a number of conflicts of interest of which stockholders should be aware regarding our ownership and operations. Set forth below are summaries of certain transactions engaged in between the Company and certain related parties. All financial numbers contained in this section are in thousands of dollars ($‘000) except share and per share data and unless otherwise noted.
 
Related Parties
Shared Services Agreement
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, the Company's Executive Vice President and Secretary 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 a Board member, the former Chairman, and a greater than 10% stockholder of Circle and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle.
For the years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company billed Circle $27 and $73, 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 June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $113 and $86, 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. The Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the shared services agreement on January 22, 2015, pursuant to which the Company may provide additional services to SFX, and SFX may provide certain services to the Company. In particular, the shared services agreement provides that, in addition to services already provided, certain employees of the Company may provide human resources, content and programming, and facilities services to SFX, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus 20% for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent. In addition, the Amendment provides that SFX may provide certain tax services to the Company, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus 20% for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent.
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 and the amendment thereto.
For the years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company billed SFX $978 and $398, net of amounts billed by SFX to the Company, respectively. The net balance due from SFX, including amounts related to the Sales Agency Agreement, which is discussed below, as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $146 and $0, respectively.

69






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 theretofore. The reimbursement for any such services shall be reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company billed Mr. Sillerman $0 and $7, respectively. The balance due from Mr. Sillerman as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $0 and $6, respectively. No such services were provided during the year ended June 30, 2015.
Private Placements
On July 12, 2016, the Company closed a private placement of $4,444 principal amount of Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”). The Debentures and Warrants were issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 12, 2016, (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and certain accredited investors within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Purchasers”). Upon the closing of the July 2016 private placement, the Company received gross proceeds of $4,000 before placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction.
As a part of the July 2016 private placement, the Company issued Warrants to the Purchasers. The number of shares for which the warrants are exercisable was reported incorrectly. The Purchasers have received warrants providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,092,957 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share. In addition, the Company issued to Aegis Capital Corporation, the placement agent in connection with the private placement, warrants providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,063,944 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share. The warrants issued to Aegis Capital Corporation contain substantially the same terms as the warrants issued to the Purchasers.
On July 20, 2016, the Company and the Purchasers entered into an Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Consent to Modify Debentures (the “Amendment and Consent”). The Amendment and Consent permits the Company to repay up to $2,000 of indebtedness owed to Sillerman Investment Company IV, LLC (“SIC IV”), an affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman and also permits the Company to revise its existing Line of Credit with SIC IV to provide a line of credit to the Company of up to $5,000. In addition, the Amendment and Consent provides that, while the Debentures are outstanding, Mr. Sillerman will guarantee that the Company shall have $1,000 available in its commercial bank account or otherwise available in liquid funds. At any time when the Company’s available funds fall below $1,000, Mr. Sillerman will provide the amounts necessary to make-up the shortfall in an aggregate amount not to exceed $6,000; however, the first $5,000 of the guaranty shall be provided by drawing down on the Company’s Line of Credit with SIC IV. Any remaining amounts, up to a maximum aggregate of $1,000 shall be provided by Mr. Sillerman. In connection with the Amendment and Consent, the Company also entered into a Subordination Agreement to permit the transactions contemplated by the Amendment and Consent and an amendment to the Exchange Agreement.
Director Compensation
Each of our non-employee directors will receive an annual fee of $80, which includes attendance fees for four meetings a year. Each non-employee director will also receive an additional $7.50 for attendance at additional Board Meetings (over four). The chairperson of the Audit Committee will receive an additional fee of $15 per annum and the chairpersons of each other committee will receive an additional fee of $5 per annum. Each of the other members of the Audit Committee will receive $3 per annum and the other members of each of the other committees will receive a fee of $1 per annum. In 2014 and 2015, all director fees were paid through the issuance of options or priced as of the date of grant or restricted stock units. For additional information regarding the payment of fees to non-employee directors, see “Compensation of Non-Employee Directors” in Item 11 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Amended and Restated $25 Million Line of Credit and Payoff
On February 13, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment (the “February Amendment”) to its Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the February Amendment, the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility was extended to December 31, 2014, and the mandatory prepayment provision was amended to provide that only the first $10,000 in net cash proceeds from an equity offering shall be required to be used to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into a further amendment (the “March Amendment”) to the Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the March Amendment, the line of credit was increased from $30,000 to $35,000. Concurrently with the March Amendment, on March 11, 2014, the Company entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with Deutsche Bank pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide Deutsche Bank a security interest in $5,000 in cash, as well as a pledge to secure the prompt and timely payment of all obligations under the DB Line (as hereinafter defined). Upon the closing of the public offering on April

70






30, 2014, the Company repaid $10,000 of amounts outstanding under the DB Line pursuant to the prepayment provisions in the DB Line.
The Term Loan Facility does not contain any financial covenants.
Repayment of the Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by Mr. Sillerman, and the transactions were approved by the independent members of the Company's Board.
In addition, on January 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Line”) with Deutsche Bank under which Deutsche Bank agreed to loan us up to $2,500. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line could not exceed 85% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable at any time. The Revolving Line provided that 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. We paid a $50 facility fee from the initial draw of $1,000 made at closing. The Revolving Line had a maturity date of April 30, 2014. The Company was permitted to make prepayments, in whole or in part, under the Revolving Line at any time, as long as all accrued and unpaid interest thereon was paid through the prepayment date. The Revolving Line was secured by a lien on all of our assets. Repayment of the Revolving Line was guaranteed by Mr. Sillerman. The Revolving Line does not contain any financial covenants. The Revolving Line was repaid and retired using a portion of the net proceeds of the public offering that closed on April 30, 2014, and the security interest was terminated.
Recapitalization
On January 7, 2014, a Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved, and on January 8, 2014, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Company's Board of Directors approved, a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) pursuant to which SIC and the other holders of our Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock exchanged their Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock for shares of the Company's common stock. There were 34,275 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding, each of which had a stated value of $1,000 and accrues dividends at 7% per share. Pursuant to the Recapitalization, the Company agreed to exchange each share of Series A preferred for a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the stated value of the share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, multiplied by 16 (and further divided by 80 to give effect to the 1-for-80 reverse stock split). For example, if a share of Series A preferred stock had $20 in accrued and unpaid dividends, then the stated value of such share plus accrued and unpaid dividends on the share would equal $1,020, and the share would be exchanged for 16,320 shares of common stock, which amount would be further adjusted to 204 shares to give effect to the 1-for-80 reverse stock split. In addition, there were 21,804.2 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding. The Company agreed to exchange each share of Series B preferred for one share of common stock, which was then further adjusted to 0.0125 shares after for the reverse stock split. Consummation of the Recapitalization was contingent upon the completion of the public offering that closed on April 30, 2014. Affiliates of Mr. Sillerman held 33,320 shares of Series A preferred and 21,364.2 shares of Series B preferred stock which were exchanged in the Recapitalization on these terms.
The Company entered into an Exchange Agreement on July 8, 2016, as amended July 20, 2016, with three of the affiliates of Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to allow for the exchange for shares of Common Stock of the Company of: (i) 3,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and a Line of Credit Promissory Note, dated October 24, 2014, in the amount of $20,000 plus accrued interest held by SIC III; (ii) a Line of Credit Grid Promissory Note, dated June 12, 2015, as amended July 20, 2016 in the amount of $3,401 plus accrued interest held by SIC IV as of the date hereof; (iii) a Revolving Secured Promissory Note, dated January 27, 2016, in the amount of $1,500 plus accrued interest, a Revolving Secured Promissory Note, dated March 29, 2016, in the amount of $500 plus accrued interest, a Revolving Secured Promissory Note, dated April 25, 2016 in the amount of $500 plus accrued interest, a Revolving Secured Promissory Note, dated May 16, 2016, in the amount of $500 plus accrued interest and a Revolving Secured Promissory Note, dated June 27, 2016, in the amount of $1,200 plus accrued interest held by SIC VI; and (iv) up to an additional $5,000 under the Line of Credit Grid Promissory Note dated June 12, 2015 and amended July 20, 2016 held by SIC IV.
The Majority Holders and the independent members of the Board of Directors have approved the Recapitalization Plan. Upon completion of the exchange (and all the other transactions described in this Information Statement at the lowest conversion price), Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates will own approximately 61% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Related Approvals
Because each of the transactions (other than the DB Line) referred to in the foregoing sections involved related parties of the Company. As such, each was approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors or a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On October 24, 2014, the Company and SIC III, a company affiliated with Mr. Sillerman entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SIC III agreed to purchase certain securities issued by the Company for a total of $30,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue up to 10,000 shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, and the Company issued a Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Note”), which provides for a $20,000 line of credit to the Company. The Company also agreed to issue to SIC III warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $1,000 advanced under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the warrants will be issued in proportion to the amounts the Company draws under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and that the exercise price of the warrants will be 10% above the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date prior to the issuance of the warrants. Exercise of the warrants was subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders, which occurred on January 13, 2015.
The Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Note from time to time. The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash on a quarterly basis. The Note matures on October 24, 2017. On October 24, 2014, SIC III made an initial advance under the Note in the principal amount of $4,500. On December 15, 2014, SIC III made an additional advance in the principal amount of $15,500 pursuant to the terms of the Note (the proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under the DB Line, as discussed above). As of June 30, 2015, the total outstanding principal amount of the Note was $20,000. The Note provides for a 3% discount, such that the amount advanced by SIC III was 3% less than the associated principal amount of the advances. Therefore, the net amount actually outstanding under the Note at June 30, 2015, was $19,500, which includes accretion of the discount of $116 (the 3% discount of $600 is being accreted to the principal balance over the life of the Note). From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to 17% per annum.
In connection with the first drawdown of $4,500 under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $3.51, representing a price equal to 10% above the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to issuance. In connection with the additional drawdown of $15,500 under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase 775,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $3.63, representing a price equal to 10% above the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to issuance. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance.
The Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.
The Note also contains certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the Note is outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holder of the Note, (i) make any loan or advance in excess of $500 to any officer, director, employee of affiliate of the Company (except advances and similar expenditures : (a) under the terms of employee stock or option plans approved by the Board of Directors, (b) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice or (c) to its subsidiaries), (ii) incur any indebtedness that exceeds $1,000 in the aggregate other than indebtedness outstanding under the Note, (iii) guaranty any indebtedness of any unaffiliated third party, (iv) change the principal business of the Company or exit the Company's current business, provided that the foregoing is subject to the Board's compliance with its fiduciary duties, (v) sell, assign, or license material technology or intellectual property of the Company except (a) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, (b) sales and assignments thereof in any 12 month period that do not have a fair market value in excess of $500 or (c) in connection with a change of control transaction, (vi) enter into any corporate strategic relationship involving the payment, contribution or assignment by the Company of its assets that have a fair market value in excess of $1,000 or (vii) liquidate or dissolve the Company or wind up the business of the Company, except in connection with changes of control or merger, acquisition or similar transactions or as approved by the Company’s Board in compliance with their fiduciary duties.
Interest expense on the Note was $1,390 for the year ended June 30, 2015.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, SIC III acquired a total of 10,000 Shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $10,000. As described above, the Company also agreed to issue to SIC III warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $1,000 of purchase price paid for the shares. The exercise price of the

72






warrants was 10% above the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date prior to the issuance of the warrants. Exercise of the warrants was subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders, which occurred on January 13, 2015.
On November 25, 2014, SIC III purchased 3,000 shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $3,000. In addition, in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued SIC III warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.98, which was 10% above the closing price of the Company's shares on the date prior to issuance.
On March 16, 2015, SIC III purchased 7,000 additional shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $7,000. In addition, in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued SIC III warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.78, which was 10% above the closing price of the Company's shares on the date prior to issuance.

The Loans included a loan of $2,000 on December 19, 2014, of $2,000 on January 14, 2015, of $2,000 on January 30, 2015, of $750 on February 13, 2015, of $1,000 on February 26, 2015, of $1,000 on March 2, 2015, of $3,000 on March 16, 2015, of $1,000 on April 20, 2015, of $500 on May 5, 2015 and of $325 on May 14, 2015.
Each of the Loans bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Principal and interest due under the Loans shall be due and payable upon demand. The principal amount of the Loans may be prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company used the proceeds from the Loans to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.
As discussed above, on March 16, 2015, SIC III purchased 7,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for a purchase price of $7,000. The Company used the $7,000 proceeds from the sale of 7,000 shares of Series C Convertible Stock to repay $7,000 in principal amount of the Loans. In addition, the Company used $798 of the proceeds of the Loan on March 16, 2015 to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans. On June 1, 2015, the Company repaid an additional $5,000 in principal amount of the Loans. Accordingly, after the transactions described herein, the total outstanding principal amount of the Loans at June 30, 2015 is $1,575.
Because the Loans were transactions between the Company and Mr. Sillerman, a majority of the Company's independent directors approved each of the Loans.
Line of Credit Grid Note
On June 11, 2015, the Company and SIC IV entered into a Line of Credit Grid Note (the “Grid Note”). The Grid Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Grid Note from time to time in an aggregate amount of up to $10,000. The Grid Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash on the maturity of the Grid Note. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Grid Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to 14% per annum.
The Grid Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.
In order for the Company to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, the Company must have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1, unless SIC IV waives this requirement. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing: (a) the Company’s net income for the measurement period, plus the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the Company’s tax expense for the measurement period, by (b) the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the amount of interest expense that would be payable on the amount of the requested draw for the twelve months following the request for the advance. The measurement period is the twelve months ended as of the last day of the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the request for the advance. The Company currently does not have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1, so advances would require the SIC IV to waive this requirement. In addition, in order to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, there can be no event of default under the Note at the time of the request for an advance, including that there has been no material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.
Between the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and December 3, 2015, the Company made several requests for advances under the Grid Note. In response to these requests, SIC IV made the following advances: $1,000 on June 11, 2015,

73






$2,000 on June 24, 2015, $1,000 on July 31, 2015, $2,000 on August 31, 2015, $1,000 on September 15, 2015, $1,000 on September 29, 2015, $500 on October 14, 2015, $600 on October 30, 2015, $1,000 on November 25, 2015.
As of December 3, 2015, there was $8,675 in principal amount outstanding under the Line of Credit. On December 3, 2015, the Company and SIC IV entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which SIC IV subscribed for 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.47 per share. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for such shares was $4,113. The Company and SIC IV agreed that SIC IV would pay the purchase price for such shares by reducing the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit. Accordingly, the principal amount of the Line of Credit was reduced to $4,563. The shares of the Company’s common stock issued to SIC IV 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.
The Grid Note matures on the first to occur of: (a) 12/31/2016 or (b) upon a “Change of Control Transaction.” A “Change of Control Transaction” includes (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) the issuance by the Company of common stock that results in any “person” or “group” becoming the “beneficial owner” of a majority of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (other than as a result of, or in connection with, any merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving entity following the consummation thereof), excluding transactions with affiliates of the Company.
If an event of default occurs under the Grid Note, SIC IV has the right to require the Company to repay all or any portion of the Grid Note. An event of default is deemed to have occurred on: (i) the non-payment of any of the amounts due under the Grid Note within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due and payable; (ii) dissolution or liquidation, as applicable, of the Company; (iii) various bankruptcy or insolvency events shall have occurred, (iv) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate the Company makes to Lender under the Note hereto; (v) the Company contests, disputes or challenges in any manner, whether in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, the validity or enforceability of any material provision in the Grid Note; or (vi) a material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.
Interest expense on the Grid Note for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $10.
Because the Grid Note was a transaction between the Company and an affiliate of Mr. Sillerman, the Company’s independent directors unanimously approved the transactions contemplated by the Grid Note.
On July 20, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to that Line of Credit Grid Promissory Note with SIC IV, pursuant to which SIC IV will provide an additional line of credit to the Company of up to $5,000 (the “Line of Credit Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Consent to Modify Debentures entered into July 20, 2016, the Company intends to repay up to $2,000 of indebtedness owed to Sillerman Investment Company VI LLC (“SIC VI”), an affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the Amendment and Consent also permits the Company to revise its existing Line of Credit with SIC IV to provide a line of credit to the Company of up to $5,000.

Wetpaint Stockholders Agreement
Pursuant to the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired wetpaint.com, inc. (the “Wetpaint Acquisition”), the Company entered into the Stockholders Agreement, effective at the closing of the Wetpaint Acquisition, with Mr. Sillerman and certain of the former shareholders of wetpaint.com, inc. who received shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Wetpaint Acquisition (the “Wetpaint/Viggle Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Wetpaint/Viggle Holders party to the Stockholders Agreement appointed as their proxy, and granted a power of attorney to, Mr. Sillerman with respect to any proposal submitted for Viggle stockholder approval, and authorized Mr. Sillerman to represent and vote all of such Wetpaint/Viggle Holders’ shares of the Company's capital stock entitled to vote on such matters in his sole discretion. Additionally, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, certain Wetpaint/Viggle Holders were granted certain “pre-emptive” rights which allow them to purchase a pro rata portion of any equity securities or debt securities convertible into equity securities that we propose to offer or sell for the purposes of raising new capital (subject to certain exceptions) during the period following the closing of the Wetpaint Acquisition until the first to occur of the time immediately prior to our completing a recapitalization and December 31, 2015. These provisions expired upon our completion of the Recapitalization.
Wetpaint Nomination Agreement
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a nomination agreement, effective at the closing of the Wetpaint Acquisition, with certain Wetpaint/Viggle Holders pursuant to which the Wetpaint/Viggle Holders party thereto were granted certain rights with respect to nominating a member of our Board of Directors or selecting a representative to attend all meetings of our Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity.
Wetpaint Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, effective at the closing of the Wetpaint Acquisition, with certain Wetpaint/Viggle Holders, pursuant to which the Company granted piggy-back registration rights to the Wetpaint/Viggle Holders party thereto for a specified period following the date on which Viggle completes a subsequent offering.

Wetpaint Lockup Agreement
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a lockup agreement, effective at the closing of the Wetpaint Acquisition, with certain Wetpaint/Viggle Holders, pursuant to which the Wetpaint/Viggle Holders party thereto are prohibited from selling shares of our common stock until the date that was six months following the date on which we completed a subsequent offering.
Wetpaint Employment Agreements
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company also entered into the employment agreements, effective at the closing of the Wetpaint Acquisition, with each of L. Benjamin Elowitz and Robert Grady. The employment agreements provide that Messrs. Elowitz and Grady will serve for a three year term and also set forth their respective titles, duties and compensation. In addition, the employment agreements contain provisions relating to termination, confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition.
Software License and Services Agreement
On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Software License and Services Agreement with SFX Entertainment, Inc. (“SFX”). Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, SFX paid the Company $5,000 to license the Company's audio recognition software and related loyalty platform for a term of ten years. SFX may use the software for its own internal business purposes and may sublicense the software only to its affiliates or to its co-promoters. The agreement provides that SFX may not use the software for any business that directly competes with the Company in the field of entertainment rewards. The Company

76






believes SFX will use the technology to enable mobile commerce within its festivals or shows. Therefore, the Company does not believe that SFX will use the software in a business that will be competitive with the Company's business. SFX paid the Company $5,000 as a license fee for the software. In addition, the Company will provide support and professional services. Rates for support and development services will be charged at $150 per hour, which we may increase after the first year to the Company's average hourly rate for the services. SFX will also receive 50% of the Company's net revenues from the license of the software to any third party. If SFX elects to renew the agreement after the initial ten year term for an additional ten year term, it will make an additional $5,000 payment to the Company upon the renewal. The Company agreed that during the term of the agreement the Company may not license the software to any third party that directly competes with SFX in the promotion of dance music. To the extent that the Company offers terms and conditions to a third-party licensing the software that are, when taken as a whole, more favorable than the terms and conditions provided to SFX, the Company agrees to provide SFX with the same terms and conditions as the third party on a prospective basis. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $500 and $146, respectively, of revenue related to this agreement.
Mr. Sillerman is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SFX, and Mr. Nelson, who serves as one of the members of the Company's Board of Directors, also provides legal services to SFX. In addition, two additional members of the Company's Board, Mr. Meyer and Mr. Miller, also serve on the Board of SFX. Therefore, an independent committee of our Board, comprised of Mr. Horan, Ms. Seitler and Ms. Sock, approved the transaction.
Sales Agency Agreement
On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into a sales agency agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SFX-94 LLC (“SFX-94”), a subsidiary of SFX, pursuant to which the Company appoints SFX-94 as its exclusive sales agent for the sale of advertising and sponsorships. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company consented to SFX-94’s hiring of 25 members of the Company’s sales team, and SFX-94 agreed that it will sell advertising and sponsorships on behalf of the Company during the term of the Sales Agreement. SFX-94 also agreed that it will maintain adequate staffing levels, generally consistent with staffing levels currently maintained by the Company, for the Company’s sale of advertising and sponsorships. The Company will pay SFX-94 a 25% commission on sales made by SFX-94. For barter transactions, the Company will reimburse SFX-94 for any out of pocket and direct costs incurred by SFX-94 with respect to such barter sales (rather than the commission set forth above), and third party ad networks will be excluded from the Sales Agreement. For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company was billed $471 in connection with the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement has a three-year term, and can be terminated by the Company on 90 days’ notice. The parties terminated the Sales Agreement, effective as of September 22, 2015, and the Company plans to hire eight members of the SFX sales team as of that date.
Because the Sales Agreement was between the Company and SFX, a company controlled by Mr. Sillerman, the Company's Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Company formed a Special Committee of independent directors to review the proposed transaction. The Special Committee reviewed and unanimously approved entering into the Sales Agreement.
Advertising Revenue and Marketing Expense
During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company provided certain advertising and related services to SFX and its subsidiaries. The total amount of net revenue was $487 and such amount was due from SFX at June 30, 2015. During the year ended June 30, 2015, SFX, and certain subsidiaries of SFX, provided certain marketing and related services to the Company. The total amount of marketing expense was $490 and such amount was due to SFX at June 30, 2015.
Board Decisions and Certain Conflicts of Interest
Past and future decisions by our board regarding our future growth, operations and major corporate decisions will be subject to certain possible conflicts of interest. These conflicts may have caused, and in the future may cause, our business to be adversely affected. Nevertheless, our board will be responsible for making decisions on our behalf. In appropriate circumstances, we expect to submit transactions with any related party for approval or negotiation by our independent directors or a Special Committee thereof.
Independent Directors
The Company has Corporate Governance Guidelines which provide, among other things, that a majority of the Company's Board must meet the criteria for independence required by The NASDAQ Capital Market and that the Company shall at all times have an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which committees will be made up entirely of independent directors.

77






Peter Horan and Michael Meyer, whose biographical information is included above under the heading “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance”, have been appointed to our Board as independent directors and qualify as such under the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Capital Market.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS 
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of July 20, 2016 by:
each person or entity known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock:
each of our named executive officers;
each of our directors; and
all of our directors and executive officers, named as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Unless otherwise noted, each beneficial owner has sole voting and investing power over the shares shown as beneficially owned except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, any shares of common stock subject to warrants or stock options held by that person that are exercisable as of July 20, 2016 or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter are deemed to be outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. 
As of July 20, 2016, there were 60,475,058 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Mr. Sillerman beneficially owns 41,461,599 shares of common stock, including: (i) directly 162,268 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Sillerman (consisting of (A) 37,268 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Sillerman; and (B) 125,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by Mr. Sillerman which are exercisable at $80.00 per share); and (ii) indirectly 41,299,331 shares of common stock (consisting of (A) 62,500 shares of common

78






stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by Sillerman Investment Company II LLC (“SIC II”) that are exercisable at $55.20 per share, (B) 175,563 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by SIC II which are exercisable at $80.00 per share; (C) 350,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by Sillerman Investment Company III LLC (“SIC III”) that are exercisable at $1.78 per share, (D) 225,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by SIC III that are exercisable at $3.51 per share, (E) 150,000 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by SIC III that are exercisable at $2.98 per share, (F) 775,000 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by SIC III that are exercisable at $3.63 per share, (G) 30,811,268 shares of common stock held by SIC III and (H) 8,750,000 shares of common stock held by Sillerman Investment Company IV LLC.
(3)
SIC III holds 3,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which, if converted into common stock, would be converted into 750,000 shares of common stock. Together with the amounts set forth in footnote 2 above, Mr. Sillerman therefore beneficially owns a total of 42,211,599 shares of common stock. The foregoing computation is prior to the Exchange Agreement consummation to be effectuated if approved in accordance with this Information Statement (if the conversion of these 3,000 shares is concluded into common shares at the exchange price of $0.26 a share then 11,538,461 common shares would be issued).

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, authorizes us to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which a person is a party by reason of being one of our directors or officers if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions. Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions relating to the indemnification of director and officers and our by-laws extend such indemnities to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. We may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer, which may cover claims for which we could not indemnify such persons.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the common stock being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Reed Smith LLP, New York, New York.

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


1.  Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
Overview

On January 27, 2016, Function(x) Inc. ("Company", "Function(x)" and "we") changed its name from Viggle Inc. to DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. ("DraftDay"), and changed its ticker symbol from VGGL to DDAY. On June 10, 2016, the Company changed its name from DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. to Function(x) Inc., and changed its ticker symbol from DDAY to FNCX. It now conducts business under the name Function(x) Inc.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of DraftDay, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. ("DDGG").  The Company has nine wholly-owned subsidiaries, Function(x) Inc., Project Oda, Inc., Sports Hero Inc., Loyalize Inc., Viggle Media Inc., VX Acquisition Corp., Nextguide Inc., Wetpaint.com, Inc. ("Wetpaint"), and Choose Digital, Inc. ("Choose Digital"), each a Delaware corporation. DraftDay owns approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of DDGG, and also appoints a majority of the members of its Board of Directors.

On February 8, 2016, the Company completed the sale of assets related to the Company’s rewards business, including the Viggle App, in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Perk Agreement") with Perk.com, Inc. ("Perk") entered into on December 13, 2015. Management entered into this binding sales agreement following a strategic decision to divest the operations related to the Viggle App and place greater focus on its remaining businesses. The assets, liabilities and operations related to Loyalize Inc., and Nextguide Inc. (as well as the portion of the assets relating to our discontinued rewards business within the Company) have been classified as discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the inter-segment revenues and expenses related to services provided by Choose Digital to the Viggle rewards business (discontinued operations) are presented at cost in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  

Correction of an Error

Upon further review of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2016, the Company identified errors in its accounting for goodwill allocation in connection with its movement from historically having one reporting unit to three reporting units as a result of the sale of the Viggle rewards business (discontinued operations) in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
The Company allocated the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that it determined were specifically identifiable to each segment, as well as direct and indirect costs that were attributable to the operations of each segment. Goodwill was originally incorrectly allocated based on historical carrying values but should have been allocated using the relative fair value of each segment and the discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. As a result, excess goodwill was allocated to the Wetpaint segment and insufficient goodwill was allocated to the Choose Digital segment and the discontinued operations.
At December 31, 2015, the Company performed goodwill impairment testing for each segment. Wetpaint and Choose Digital goodwill were deemed to be impaired. As a result goodwill impairment expense was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2015. As a result of the incorrect goodwill allocation (as noted above), the goodwill impairment expense recorded for the Wetpaint segment was overstated and the goodwill impairment expense for the Choose Digital segment was understated. The net effect on the Consolidated Statement of Operations was an overstatement of $4,231 in operating loss from continuing operations and net loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company completed the sale of the Viggle rewards business and reported a gain on the sale within net income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The gain reported was overstated by $4,231 as a result of the Company insufficiently allocating goodwill to discontinued operations (as noted above) in the prior quarter.
In accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, management assessed the materiality of these errors on prior period reported results and concluded that the errors were not material

89






to the Company's prior period consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the error has been corrected in this filing via a revision of each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior and current periods.
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 and therefore there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

2.  Lines of Business
 
The Company's Lines of Business
 
The Company conducts business through 3 operating segments:Wetpaint, Choose Digital, and DDGG. These operating segments are described below.
Through 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 55 new articles, videos and galleries each day. The Company generates revenues through wetpaint.com by displaying advertisements to wetpaint.com users as they view its content.

Choose Digital is a white-label digital marketplace featuring a recent and wide range of digital content, including music, movies, TV shows, eBooks and audiobooks. The content is sourced from the world’s leading record companies and book publishers and an aggregator of movie and TV content. Choose Digital generates revenues when participants in Choose Digital's clients' loyalty programs redeem loyalty credits for digital content provided by Choose Digital. For example, if a participant in a loyalty program redeems credits for a song download provided by Choose Digital, the client loyalty program pays Choose Digital for the download.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, DDGG, made a recent investment in the DraftDay.com platform. Through DraftDay.com, users can draft a fantasy sports team within a salary cap, follow game action and reap rewards.  DraftDay.com will continue to offer high-quality entertainment to consumers as well as to businesses desiring turnkey solutions to new revenue streams. See Note 6, Acquisitions, for further details on this acquisition.


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 nine months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2016.

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 leases of office space.

Marketable Securities

In February 2016, the Company received 1,370,000 shares of Perk's stock, which is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, as part of the consideration in the sale of assets described in the Perk Agreement. These securities are short-term marketable

90






securities, and have been classified as “available-for-sale” securities. Pursuant to ASC 320-10, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities” the Company's marketable securities are marked to market on a quarterly basis, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as Other Comprehensive Income/Loss.

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 March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was $20.

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 months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 were $127 and $0.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of Perk marketable securities held is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis using the closing day share price of the last business day of the quarter. The changes to fair value are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income/Loss.  The carrying amount of Perk warrants held is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The changes to fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as current borrowing rates for the same, or similar issues, are the same as those that were given to the Company at the issuance of these loans.

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 that 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.
 
Business Combinations and Goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest based on their acquisition date estimated fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Any contingent consideration to be transferred to the acquiree is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date.

Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions related to future cash flows, discount rates, asset lives and the probability of future cash pay-outs related to contingent consideration. The estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, therefore, actual results may differ from estimates. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the

91






measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company's reporting units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.Where goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative fair values of the disposed operation and the portion of the reporting units retained.

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 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 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 carry amount to determine if there is an impairment loss.

Historically, the Company had one reporting unit. However, in connection with the sale of a significant portion of the Company's assets (see Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Consolidation), the remaining operations were divided into 3 reporting units (see Note 4, Segments). The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to test the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units for goodwill impairment. The DDGG reporting unit was not tested for impairment at December 31, 2015 as the acquisition of this entity occurred in September 2015. The Company determined that the fair value of both of the Wetpaint and Choose Digital reporting units were significantly below their respective carrying values, indicating that goodwill related to these reporting units may be impaired. The Company determined the fair value of all long-lived assets other than goodwill related to each reporting unit and calculated the residual goodwill value for each. Upon comparing the residual goodwill values to the respective carrying values, the Company determined that there was an impairment loss on both the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units.

The Company recorded an impairment loss of $3,122 related to the Choose Digital reporting unit and $10,249 related to the Wetpaint reporting unit during the three months ended December 31, 2015. There were no impairments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” ("ASC 360"), 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 (fair value) 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.  
 
At June 30, 2015, the Company determined that certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Choose Digital (see Note 6, Acquisitions for further detail regarding the Choose Digital acquisition) were impaired. Due to a shift in the Company's business operations and utilization of its resources, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 the Company determined that intangible assets related to customer relationships and trade name no longer had value. Therefore, such assets were written off as of June 30, 2015. The total amount of the write-off was $2,086.

At December 31, 2015, as described above, the Company determined that the fair value of the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units tested was significantly below the respective carrying values and assessed the fair values of the long-lived assets other than goodwill for each reporting unit. Upon comparing the fair values of the long-lived assets to their respective carrying values, the Company recorded a loss of $1,331 on intangible assets related to Choose Digital's software and licenses, and a loss of $11,469 on intangible assets related to Wetpaint's technology, trademark, customer relationships and non-competition agreements, during the three months ended December 31, 2015. No impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016.


Capitalized Software
 
The Company records amortization of acquired software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.  

92






 
In addition, the Company records and capitalizes internally generated computer software and, appropriately, certain internal costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $0 and $1,610 as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, 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. The change in capitalized software is due to impairment of long-term assets related to the Choose Digital and Wetpaint businesses described earlier, as well as the abandonment of certain technology as of January 1, 2016, and internal development costs.

Deferred Rent

The Company leases its corporate office, and as part of the lease agreement the landlord provided a rent abatement for the first 10 months of the lease. In 2014, the Company entered into two lease agreements for its satellite offices which provided for tenant improvement work sponsored by the landlords. The abatement and landlord sponsored improvements have 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. On November 20, 2015, the Company terminated one of the lease agreements which provided for tenant improvement. The Company wrote off the remaining leasehold improvement and deferred rent balances during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and the write-off of $2 was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 Emerging Issues Task Force 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 in the amount of $4 and $428 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and $28 and $390 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718").  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 Company for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $76 and $556, respectively, including barter expense. Marketing expense for the Company for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $118 and $657, respectively, including barter expense.

93






 
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.  The Company assesses its 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, the Company's 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.

Comprehensive Loss

In accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income", the Company reports by major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income consists of net income (loss), accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). The Company’s comprehensive loss for all periods presented is related to the effect of unrealized gain on available for sale marketable securities.

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.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, there have been no significant changes related to the Company's 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 the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09,
Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU
2016-09"). This update is intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affects all organizations
that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award
transactions are simplified, including:(a)income tax consequences;(b)classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and(c) classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02
requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a
lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a
right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease
term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15,

94






2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements.

In January 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments- Overall: Recognition
and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). Additionally, it requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Lastly, the standard eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


In November 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, “Income taxes: Balance Sheet Classification
of Deferred Taxes Business” (“ASU 2015-17”). Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires an entity to separate deferred income tax
liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax liabilities
and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU 2015-16"). This standard requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the ASU 2015-16 require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.  In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (July 1, 2017 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2015-16 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


4. Segments

Historically, the Company had one operating segment. However, in connection with the sale of the Viggle rewards business (discontinued operations) to Perk in February 2016, which represents a significant portion of the Company's assets and revenues, the Company's remaining operations were divided into 3 operating segments, as described below. These segments offer different products and services and are currently presented separately in internal management reports, and managed separately.

Wetpaint: a media channel reporting original news stories and publishing information content covering top television shows, music, celebrities, entertainment news and fashion.
Choose Digital: a business-to-business platform for delivering digital content.
DDGG: a business-to-business operator of daily fantasy sports.

The accounting policies followed by the segments are described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The operating segments of the Company include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that management has determined are specifically or primarily identifiable to each segment, as well as direct and indirect costs that are attributable to the operations of each segment. These direct costs are the operational costs that are administered by the Company following the shared services

95






concept. Indirect costs are the costs of support functions that are provided on a centralized or geographic basis by the Company, which include, but are not limited to, finance, human resources, benefits administration, procurement support, information technology, legal, corporate strategy, corporate governance and other professional services and general commercial support functions.
Central support costs have been allocated to each operating segment based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification is not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method (primarily based on net sales or direct payroll costs), depending on the nature of the services received. Management considers that such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis, but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the operating segments had been operated on a stand-alone basis for the periods presented.
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on unit profit after tax, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is the Company's CEO. Business unit profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the success of each business and determining the going forward strategy for the Company as a whole.

6.  Acquisitions

Acquisition of Choose Digital

On June 24, 2014, the Company acquired Choose Digital, a Miami, Florida based, digital marketplace platform that allows companies to incorporate digital content into existing rewards and loyalty programs in support of marketing and sales initiatives.

In connection with the Company's acquisition of Choose Digital, the Company was required to make a contingent payment, which was due within five business days after June 24, 2015, of $4,792. Such amount was accrued in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2015. On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with AmossyKlein Family Holdings, LLP ("AmossyKlein"), as representative of the former shareholders of Choose Digital Inc. (the “Stockholders”). The Forbearance Agreement provides that the Company will make monthly installment payments to the Stockholders, beginning on July 31, 2015 and ending on January 29, 2016. Specifically, the Company agreed to pay $668 on July 31, 2015; $532 on August 31, 2015; $528 on September 30, 2015; $524 on October 31, 2015; $521 on November 30, 2015; $517 on December 31, 2015; and $1,754 on January 29, 2016. The scheduled payments include $170 of interest and $82 of legal fee charges. The Company agreed to deliver an affidavit of confession of judgment to be held in escrow by AmossyKlein’s counsel in the event the Company does not make such installment payments. The Company made the installment payments through December 2015, but failed to make the payment due on January 29, 2016. On May 12, 2016. the Company and AmossyKlein entered into an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement to provide for the payment of the remaining $1,754 (see Note 16, Subsequent Events). The balance of the contingent payment at March 31, 2016 was $1,754, including interest of $12. Since January 1, 2016 and through March 31, 2016, the Company has recorded additional interest of $26.

Acquisition of DraftDay.com

On September 8, 2015, the Company and its newly created subsidiary DDGG entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT Capital”) and MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the assets of the DraftDay.com business (the “DraftDay Business”) from MGT Capital and MGT Sports.  In exchange for the acquisition of the DraftDay Business, the Company paid MGT Sports the following: (a) 1,269,342 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), (b) a promissory note in the amount of $234 due September 29, 2015, (c) a promissory note in the amount of $1,875 due March 8, 2016 (the "MGT Note"), and (d) 2,550,000 shares of common stock of DDGG.  In addition, in exchange for providing certain transitional services, DDGG will issue to MGT Sports a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of DDGG common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share.

In addition, in exchange for the release of various liens and encumbrances, the Company also agreed to issue to third parties: (a)
84,633 shares of its Common Stock, (b) a promissory note in the amount of $16 due September 29, 2015 and (c) a promissory note in the amount of $125 due March 8, 2016, and DDGG issued: (i) 150,000 shares of its common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of DDGG common stock at $0.40 per share.


99






Accordingly, the Company issued a total of 1,353,975 shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of the DraftDay Business.

The Company contributed the assets of the DraftDay Business to DDGG, such that the Company now owns a total of
11,250,000 shares of DDGG common stock.

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of MGT Capital and MGT Sports. In addition, on September 8, 2015, DDGG entered into an agreement with Sportech Racing, LLC (“Sportech”) pursuant to which Sportech agreed to provide certain management services to DDGG in exchange for
9,000,000 shares of DDGG common stock.
As a result of the transactions described above, the Company owns a total of
11,250,000 shares of DDGG common stock, Sportech Inc., an affiliate of Sportech, owns 9,000,000 shares of DDGG common stock, MGT Sports owns 2,550,000 shares of DDGG common stock and an additional third party owns 150,000 shares of DDGG common stock. On September 8, 2015, the various stockholders of DDGG entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”).  The Stockholders Agreement provides that all stockholders will vote their shares of DDGG common stock for a Board comprised of three members, two of which will be designated by the Company and one of which will be designated by Sportech.  As such, the operations of the DraftDay business will be consolidated with the Company's operations from the acquisition date of September 8, 2015 (see Note 11, Stockholders' Equity, for a discussion on non-controlling interest related to the portion of the DraftDay Business that the Company does not own). Mr. Sillerman will serve as the Chairman of DDGG. The Stockholders Agreement also provides customary rights of first refusal for the various stockholders, as well as customary co-sale, drag along and preemptive rights. 

In the aggregate, as a result of the transactions described herein, the Company issued promissory notes in the principal amount of
$250 due and paid on September 29, 2015 and in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000 due March 8, 2016.  The Company was not able to make the payment at the due date and on March 24, 2016 converted $824 of the promissory notes to common stock and $110 of the promissory notes to a Series D Preferred Stock (see Note 11, Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)). All such notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum.  

This 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 the DraftDay Business 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 lists 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. Such valuations are being conducted using Level 3 inputs as described in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

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

Line of Credit Promissory Note

On October 24, 2014, the Company and SIC III, a company affiliated with Mr. Sillerman, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which SIC III agreed to purchase certain securities issued by the Company for a total of $30,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Note”), which provides for a $20,000 line of credit to the Company (see Note 11, Stockholders' Equity, for a discussion of the remaining $10,000 of the Securities Purchase Agreement). The Company also agreed to issue to SIC III warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $1,000 advanced under the Note. The warrants will be issued in proportion to the amounts the Company draws under the Note. The exercise price of the warrants will be 10% above the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date prior to the issuance of the warrants. Exercise of the warrants was subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders, which occurred on January 13, 2015.

The Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Note from time to time. The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash on a quarterly basis. The Note matures on October 24, 2017. On October 24, 2014, SIC III made an initial advance under the Note in the principal amount of $4,500. On December 15, 2014, SIC III made an additional advance in the principal amount of $15,500 pursuant to the terms of the Note (the proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under the DB Line, as discussed above). As of March 31, 2016, the total outstanding principal amount of the Note was $20,000. The Note provides for a 3% discount, such that the amount advanced by SIC III was 3% less than the associated principal amount of the advances. Therefore, the net amount actually outstanding under the Note at March 31, 2016, was $19,666, which includes accretion of the discount of $266 (the 3% discount of $600 is being accreted to the principal balance over the life of the Note). From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to 17% per annum.

In connection with the first drawdown of $4,500 under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $3.51, representing a price equal to 10% above the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to issuance. In connection with the additional drawdown of $15,500 under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase 775,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $3.63, representing a price equal to 10% above the closing price of the Company's common stock on the day prior to issuance. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance. Stock compensation expense related to the issuances of warrants to SIC III was $2,049 during the year ended June 30, 2015.

The Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.

103







The Note also contains certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the Note is outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holder of the Note, (i) make any loan or advance in excess of $500 to any officer, director, employee of affiliate of the Company (except advances and similar expenditures : (a) under the terms of employee stock or option plans approved by the Board of Directors, (b) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice or (c) to its subsidiaries), (ii) incur any indebtedness that exceeds $1,000 in the aggregate other than indebtedness outstanding under the Note, (iii) guaranty any indebtedness of any unaffiliated third party, (iv) change the principal business of the Company or exit the Company's current business, provided that the foregoing is subject to the Board's compliance with its fiduciary duties, (v) sell, assign, or license material technology or intellectual property of the Company except (a) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, (b) sales and assignments thereof in any 12 month period that do not have a fair market value in excess of $500 or (c) in connection with a change of control transaction, (vi) enter into any corporate strategic relationship involving the payment, contribution or assignment by the Company of its assets that have a fair market value in excess of $1,000 or (vii) liquidate or dissolve the Company or wind up the business of the Company, except in connection with changes of control or merger, acquisition or similar transactions or as approved by the Company’s Board in compliance with their fiduciary duties.

Interest expense on the Note was $607 and $1,834 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and $593 and $785 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.

In connection with the Company's entering into the Perk Credit Agreement (as defined below), SIC III agreed to subordinate payment of the Note to amounts owed to Perk under the Perk Credit Agreement.

Interest expense on the Loans was $0 and $1 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and $171 and $179 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.

Line of Credit Grid Note

On June 11, 2015, the Company and Sillerman Investment Company IV, LLC ("SIC IV") entered into a Line of Credit Grid Note (the "Grid Note"). The Grid Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Grid Note from time to time in an aggregate amount of up to $10,000. The Grid Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash on the maturity of the Grid Note. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Grid Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to 14% per annum.

The Grid Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.

In order for the Company to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, the Company must have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1, unless SIC IV waives this requirement. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing: (a) the Company’s net income for the measurement period, plus the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the Company’s tax expense for the measurement period, by (b) the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the amount of interest expense that would be payable on the amount of the requested draw for the twelve months following the request for the advance. The measurement period is the twelve months ended as of the last day of the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the request for the advance. The Company currently does not have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1, so advances would require the SIC IV to waive this requirement. In addition, in order to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, there can be no event of default under the Note at the time of the request for an advance, including that there has been no material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.

The Company made requests for advances under the Grid Note, and SIC IV made advances to the Company as follows:

On July 1, 2015, the Company repaid $1,425 of the Grid Note.

On December 3, 2015, the Company and SIC IV entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which SIC IV subscribed for 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.47 per share. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for such shares was $4,112.

The Company and SIC IV agreed that SIC IV would pay the purchase price for such shares by reducing the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit. As of December 3, 2015, there was $8,675 in outstanding principal amount under the Line of Credit.
Accordingly, the principal amount of the Line of Credit was therefore reduced to $4,563.

Therefore, the outstanding balance of the Grid Note at March 31, 2016 was $4,563.


105






The Grid Note matures on the first to occur of: (a) 12/31/2016 or (b) upon a “Change of Control Transaction.” A “Change of Control Transaction” includes (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) the issuance by the Company of common stock that results in any “person” or “group” becoming the “beneficial owner” of a majority of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (other than as a result of, or in connection with, any merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving entity following the consummation thereof), excluding transactions with affiliates of the Company.

If an event of default occurs under the Grid Note, SIC IV has the right to require the Company to repay all or any portion of the Grid Note.  An event of default is deemed to have occurred on: (i) the non-payment of any of the amounts due under the Grid Note within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due and payable; (ii) dissolution or liquidation, as applicable, of the Company; (iii) various bankruptcy or insolvency events shall have occurred, (iv) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate the Company makes to Lender under the Note hereto; (v) the Company contests, disputes or challenges in any manner, whether in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, the validity or enforceability of any material provision in the Grid Note; or (vi) a material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.

Interest expense on the Grid Note for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $138 and $435, respectively.

In connection with the Company's entering into the Perk Credit Agreement (as defined below), SIC IV agreed to subordinate payment of the Grid Note to amounts owed to Perk under the Perk Credit Agreement. SIC IV also consented to the consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Perk. In exchange for such consent and such agreement to subordinate, the Company agreed to provide SIC IV a security interest in the assets of the Company in connection with amounts outstanding under the Grid Note.

The Company entered into a Security Agreement with SIC IV , pursuant to which the Company pledged its assets in connection with such security interest. The foregoing descriptions of the Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Security Agreement.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, Perk made two advances to the Company as follows:

Total
$

On December 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Perk pursuant to which Perk provided a $1,000 line of credit to the Company (the “Perk Credit Agreement”). The Perk Credit Agreement provided for drawdowns pursuant to which Perk made advances to the Company, which totaled $1,000. The first advance in the amount of $667 was made on December 14, 2015. The final drawdown of $333 was made when the Information Statement relating to the transaction was filed with the SEC, which occurred on December 23, 2015. Amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement bore interest at 12% per annum, with an additional 12% if the Company was in default of its obligations under the Perk Credit Agreement.  Amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement were repaid on February 8, 2016 upon the closing of the sale of the Viggle assets to Perk.  The Company was entitled to elect to repay all amounts outstanding pursuant to the Perk Credit Agreement by reducing the number of the shares of Perk common stock payable upon closing of the sale of the Viggle assets to Perk by 130,000 shares. The Company elected to so reduce the number of shares issuable to the Company at the closing of the asset sale transaction. Therefore, Perk agreed to deliver to the Company at closing 1,370,000 shares of Perk common stock, rather than 1,500,000 shares, and in return the amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement were deemed repaid in full.

Therefore, the outstanding balance of the loan from Perk was $0 at March 31, 2016. No interest expense was recorded by the Company for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016.

In connection with the Perk Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company provided Perk with a security interest in its assets to secure repayment of amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement. As the amounts payable under the Perk Credit Agreement have now been settled in full, the Security Agreement has been terminated.

12. 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 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 6,250,000 shares of common stock.  Pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan and the employment agreements, between February 15, 2011 and March 31, 2016, 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.

The following table summarizes the Company's RSU activity for nine months ended March 31, 2016:

The Company accounts 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.  There were 235,333 and 310,335 options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 were estimated based on the following weighted average assumptions:

Compensation expense related to stock options of $139 and $3,700 is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $185 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which will generally be recognized over a four year period.
 

13.  Income Taxes
 
For the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record an income tax benefit because it has incurred taxable losses and has no history of generating taxable income and therefore the Company cannot presently anticipate the realization of a tax benefit on its Net Operating Loss carryforward. At March 31, 2016 the Company has a Net Operating Loss carryforward of approximately $182,000, which will begin to expire in 2030.
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.    

14.  Related Party Transactions

Shared Services Agreements

113







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 as General Counsel. The Company is responsible for advancing the salary to legal and administrative personnel supporting 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 nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company billed Circle $14 and $20, 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 March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was $0 and $113, respectively. The Company wrote-off the accounts receivable balance of $127 in the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the write-off appears as a bad debt expense on the consolidated statements of operation.

The parties terminated the Circle Shared Services Agreement effective as of January 1, 2016. Circle is in the process of liquidation and any claim to be made under the Circle Shared Services Agreement will survive the termination of the Circle Shared Services Agreement.
The Company also entered into a shared services agreement ("SFX Shared Services Agreement") with SFX Entertainment Inc. ("SFX) , pursuant to which it shares costs for services provided by several of the Company's and/or SFX's employees. Such employees will continue to be paid by their current employers, and SFX will reimburse the Company directly for its portion of such salary and benefits and Company will reimburse SFX 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 Audit Committee of each company's Board of Directors reviews and, if appropriate, approves the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances. The Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the shared services agreement on January 22, 2015, pursuant to which the Company may provide additional services to SFX, and SFX may provide certain services to the Company. In particular, the shared services agreement provides that, in addition to services already provided, certain employees of the Company may provide human resources, content and programming, and facilities services to SFX, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus 20% for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent. In addition, the Amendment provides that SFX may provide certain tax services to the Company, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus 20% for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent.

The parties terminated the SFX Shared Services Agreement effective as of January 1, 2016. We continue to try to settle amounts remaining outstanding.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company was billed by SFX $42 and $167, net of amounts billed by the Company to SFX, respectively.  The net balance due (to)/from SFX, including amounts related to the Sales Agency Agreement, discussed below, as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was $(139) and $135, respectively.

Sales Agency Agreement

On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into a sales agency agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SFX-94 LLC (“SFX-94”), a subsidiary of SFX, pursuant to which the Company appoints SFX-94 as its exclusive sales agent for the sale of advertising and sponsorships. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company consented to SFX-94’s hiring of 25 members of the Company’s sales team, and SFX-94 agreed that it will sell advertising and sponsorships on behalf of the Company during the term of the Sales Agreement. SFX-94 also agreed that it will maintain adequate staffing levels, generally consistent with staffing levels currently maintained by the Company, for the Company’s sale of advertising and sponsorships. The Company will pay SFX-94 a 25% commission on sales made by SFX-94. For barter transactions, the Company will reimburse SFX-94 for any out of pocket and direct costs incurred by SFX-94 with respect to such barter sales (rather than the commission set forth above), and third party ad networks will be excluded from the Sales Agreement. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company was billed

114






$424 in connection with the Sales Agreement. On September 22, 2015, the parties terminated the Sales Agreement, and the Company subsequently hired 8 members of the SFX sales team as of that date.

Advertising Revenue

For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company provided credits on certain advertising and related services provided to SFX and its subsidiaries during the prior year. The total amount of such credits $37 and such amount increased the payable due to SFX at March 31, 2016.
Marketing Expense

During the year ended June 30, 2015, SFX, and certain subsidiaries of SFX, provided certain marketing and related services to the Company. The total amount of marketing expense was $450 and such amount was due to SFX at June 30, 2015.

DraftDay

In October 2015 the Company entered into an agreement with DDGG to expand its rewards catalog and offer to its users the opportunity to redeem Viggle points for entry to DDGG’s fantasy sports contests. The Company agreed to pay DDGG the value of the entry fees for which points were redeemed. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, $39 worth of Viggle points were redeemed for DDGG contest entry fees.
License Agreement

On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into an audio recognition and related loyalty program software license and services agreement with SFX. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, SFX paid the Company $5,000 to license its audio recognition software and related loyalty platform for a term of 10 years. The amount was deferred and is being amortized over the ten years period. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $125 and $125, respectively, of revenue related to this agreement. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $375 and $375, respectively, of revenue related to this agreement.

Lines of Credit

See Note 9, Loans Payable, for a description of certain loans which have been provided by related parties. In addition, see Note 16, Subsequent Events, for additional discussion of certain related party transactions.

As described in Note 9, Loans Payable, on December 3, 2015, the Company and SIC IV entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which SIC IV subscribed for 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.47 per share. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for such shares was $4,112. The Company and SIC IV agreed that SIC IV would pay the purchase price for such shares by reducing the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit. As of December 3, 2015, there was $8,675 in outstanding principal amount under the Line of Credit. Accordingly, the principal amount of the Line of Credit was therefore reduced to $4,563.

Secured Line of Credit

On January 27, 2016, Sillerman Investment Company VI LLC (“SIC VI”), an affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, entered into a secured revolving loan agreement (the “Secured Revolving Loan”) with the Company and its subsidiaries, Wetpaint and Choose Digital (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), pursuant to which the Company can borrow up to $1,500.  The Secured Revolving Loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In connection with the Secured Revolving Loan, the Company and the Subsidiaries have entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with SIC VI, under which the Company and the Subsidiaries have granted SIC VI a continuing security interest in all assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, with the exception of the Company’s interest in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Secured Revolving Loan to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes in accordance with a budget to be agreed upon by SIC VI and the Company.  As of March 31, 2016, $1,500 has been advanced thereunder.  Because Mr. Sillerman is a director, executive officer and greater than 10% stockholder of the Company, a majority of the Company’s independent directors approved the transaction.

$500 Line of Credit

The Company and its subsidiaries entered into a secured, revolving Line of Credit on March 29, 2016 with SIC VI (the “Secured Revolving Line of Credit”), pursuant to which the Company can borrow up to $500.  The Secured Revolving Line of Credit bears

115






interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In connection with the Secured Revolving Line of Credit, the Company and the Subsidiaries have entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with SIC VI, under which the Company and the Subsidiaries have granted SIC VI a continuing security interest in all assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, with the exception of the Company’s interest in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc.  The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Secured Revolving Line of Credit to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes in accordance with a budget to be agreed upon by SIC VI and the Company.  At March 31, 2016, $88 had been advanced thereunder.  

Related Approvals

Because the above transactions were 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 approved each of these transactions.

15. 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 21,364 warrants in connection with the May 10, 2012 PIPE. Each warrant has a sale price of $440 and is exercisable into 1 share of common stock at a price of $640 over a term of three 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 the price of newly issued shares (the "Warrants"). In connection with the PIPE Exchanges on September 16, 2013, the exercise price of the Warrants was reset to $92. The fair value of such 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. On September 16, 2013, 6,818 warrants were exchanged in connection with the PIPE Exchanges. The remaining 14,545 warrants were marked to market as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 to a fair value of $10 and $10, respectively. The Company recorded gains/(losses) of $0 and $(5) to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the warrant is classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2016, due to the Company's intention to retire a significant portion of these warrants in its next round of financing. The Company's warrants were classified as a Level 3 input 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.

On February 8, 2016, the Company received Perk warrants as part of the consideration in the sale of the Viggle business. The carrying amount of Perk warrants held is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis using the Monte Carlo valuation model, in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. The changes to fair value are recorded in the income statement. The fair value of the warrants when issued was $1,023. The warrants were marked to market as of March 31, 2016 to a fair value of $1,091. The Company recorded a gain of $68 to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The fair value of the warrant is classified as an other asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2016. The Perk warrants were classified as a Level 3 input 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.

Non-financial Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis


116






On a nonrecurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairment. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Measurements based on undiscounted cash flows are considered to be Level 3 inputs. During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company evaluates goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment at the reporting unit level. For each acquisition, the Company performed a detailed review to identify intangible assets and a valuation is performed for all such identified assets. The Company used several market participant measurements to determine estimated value. This approach includes consideration of similar and recent transactions, as well as utilizing discounted expected cash flow methodologies, and/or revenue or EBITDA multiples, among other methods. The amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions were determined using Level 3 inputs. Fair value for property and equipment was based on other observable transactions for similar property and equipment. Accounts receivable represents the best estimate of balances that will ultimately be collected, which is based in part on allowance for doubtful accounts reserve criteria and an evaluation of the specific receivable balances.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the reporting units retained. The relative fair value of each reporting unit is established using discounted expected cash flow methodologies, and/or revenue or EBITDA multiples, or other applicable valuation methods, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs.

Rant Term Sheet

On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into a Binding Term Sheet (the “Binding Term Sheet”) with Rant, Inc. (“Rant”). In connection with the Binding Term Sheet, the Company agreed to purchase the assets of the Rant business (the “Transaction”).
As consideration for the assets, Rant will receive the following consideration:
$5,000 Purchase Money note earning 10% interest and due in 1 year of the closing of the Transaction, convertible at holder’s option into shares of common stock at a price of $0.31 cents a share or, if less,  at the lowest price Robert FX Sillerman may convert any debt or preferred shares into common shares.

Additionally, the Binding Term Sheet provides for the following:
$500 of Rant payables will be satisfied at the closing by FNCX using cash.

The Transaction shall be subject to the preparation of definitive documents. Because the documents are subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied by each of the parties, there is no assurance that the proposed terms may not be changed or that any transaction may be consummated.
Rant, Inc. is an digital publishing company that was founded in 2010. Rant and its expanding internet property lineup has established itself as a leading innovator in online media consumption. Known for the well-established brand RantSports, Rant, Inc. has since expanded its reach towards the areas of lifestyle, fitness, exercise, entertainment, technology, and celebrities.

On May 9, 2016 (the “Exchange Date”), the Company and SIC III entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which SIC III subscribed for 22,580,645 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.31 per share. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for such shares was $7,000. The Company and SIC III agreed that SIC III would pay the purchase price for such shares by exchanging 7,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock owned by SIC III for the common shares (the “Exchange”). All conditions of the Subscription Agreement have been satisfied, and therefore 22,580,645 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to SIC III. Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates now own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

Amendment to Forbearance Agreement
In connection with the Company's acquisition of Choose Digital, the Company was required to make a contingent payment, which was due within five business days after June 24, 2015, of $4,792. On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with AmossyKlein Family Holdings, LLLP, as representative of the former shareholders of Choose Digital Inc. The Forbearance Agreement provided that the Company will make monthly installment payments to the Stockholders, beginning on July 31, 2015 and ending on January 29, 2016. Specifically, the Company agreed to pay $668 on July 31, 2015; $532 on August 31, 2015; $528 on September 30, 2015; $524 on October 31, 2015; $521 on November 30, 2015; $517 on December 31, 2015; and $1,754 on January 29, 2016. The Company agreed to deliver an affidavit of confession of judgment to be held in escrow by AmossyKlein’s counsel in the event the Company did not make such installment payments. The Company made the installment payments through December 2015, but failed to make the payment due on January 29, 2016.

On May 12, 2016. the Company and AmossyKlein entered into an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement to provide for the payment of the remaining $1,754. The Forbearance Agreement now provides that the Company will make a payment of approximately $300 by May 18, 2016, and thereafter, the Company will make monthly payments of $100, plus interest at a rate of 9% per annum, until the remaining amount is paid in full. In addition, the Company agreed to pledge 100,000 shares of common stock it holds in Perk.com, Inc. as collateral for these obligations. Finally, the Company agreed if it consummates a sale of a substantial part of its assets or a public equity offering, the Company will first apply the proceeds to remaining amounts due to AmossyKlein, except for payments to advisors or expenses necessary to close such transactions. The Company also delivered an amended confession of judgment that it had previously delivered to AmossyKlein, which will be held in escrow by AmossyKlein's counsel in the event the Company does not make installment payments as set forth in the amended Forbearance Agreement.

Function(x) Inc.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Function(x) Inc.
New York, New York
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Function(x) Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Function(x) Inc. at June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and at June 30, 2015 has a deficiency in working capital that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Function(x) Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

1.  Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
On January 27, 2016, Function(x) Inc. (“Function(x)” and/or the “Company”) changed its name from Viggle Inc. to DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. ("DraftDay"), and changed its ticker symbol from VGGL to DDAY. On June 10, 2016, the Company changed its name from DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. to Function(x) Inc., and changed its ticker symbol from DDAY to FNCX. It now conducts business under the name Function(x) Inc. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Function(x) Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The Company has nine wholly-owned subsidiaries, Function(x) Inc., Project Oda, Inc., Sports Hero Inc., Loyalize Inc., Viggle Media Inc., VX Acquisition Corp., Nextguide Inc., Wetpaint.com, Inc. ("Wetpaint"), and Choose Digital Inc. ("Choose Digital"), each a Delaware corporation.

On September 8, 2015, the Company and its newly created subsidiary DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. (“DDGG”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT Capital”) and MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the assets of the DraftDay.com business (the “DraftDay Business”) from MGT Capital and MGT Sports.

On February 8, 2016, the Company completed the sale of assets related to the Company’s rewards business, including the Viggle App, in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Perk Agreement") with Perk.com, Inc. ("Perk") entered into on December 13, 2015. Management entered into this binding sales agreement following a strategic decision to divest the operations related to the Viggle App and place greater focus on its remaining businesses. The assets, liabilities and operations related to Loyalize Inc., and Nextguide Inc. (as well as the portion of the assets relating to our discontinued rewards business within the Company) have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the inter-segment revenues and expenses related to services provided by Choose Digital to the Viggle rewards business (discontinued operations) are presented at cost in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  

In December 2015, as a result of the sale of certain assets to Perk and acquisition of the DraftDay Business, we reorganized the organizational management and oversight of the Company into three segments, see Note 4: Segments. Accordingly, prior period financial information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. These changes impacted Note 4: Segments and Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, with no impact on consolidated net loss or cash flows in any period.

On March 19, 2014, the Company effectuated a 1-for-80 reverse stock split (the “1-for-80 Reverse Split”). Under the terms of the 1-for-80 Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-eightieth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were cashed out. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 1-for-80 Reverse Split.

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 and therefore there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might

127




result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

2.  Line of Business
 
The Company's Line of Business
 
The Company conducts business through two operating segments: Wetpaint and Choose Digital. These operating segments are described below.

Through 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 55 new articles, videos and galleries each day. The Company generates revenues through wetpaint.com by displaying advertisements to wetpaint.com users as they view its content.


Choose Digital is a white-label digital marketplace featuring a recent and wide range of digital content, including music, movies, TV shows, eBooks and audiobooks.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
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 and security interest held by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in connection with the Company's debt agreement more fully described in Note 9, Loans Payable.

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.

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 years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were not significant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 

128




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.
 
Business Combinations and Goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest based on their acquisition date estimated fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Any contingent consideration to be transferred to the acquiree is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date.

Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions related to future cash flows, discount rates, asset lives and the probability of future cash pay-outs related to contingent consideration. The estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, therefore, actual results may differ from estimates. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company's reporting units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.Where goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the reporting units retained.

As required by Accounting Standards Codification (“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. As noted above, the Company has two reporting units. 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 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, 2015 or 2014.
 
Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” ("ASC 360"), 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.  
 

129




At June 30, 2015, the Company determined that certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Choose Digital (see Note 6, Acquisitions for further detail regarding the Choose Digital acquisition) were impaired. Due to a shift in the Company's business operations and utilization of its resources, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company determined that intangible assets related to customer relationships and trade name no longer had value. Therefore, such assets were written off as of June 30, 2015. The total amount of the write off was $2,086 and is included in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no other impairments of long-lived assets during the year ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.
 
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 $1,610 and $1,297 as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, 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 currently leases office space for its corporate office, and as part of the lease agreement the landlord provided a rent abatement for the first 10 months of the lease. In 2014, the Company entered into two lease agreements for its satellite offices which provided for tenant improvement work sponsored by the landlords. The abatement and landlord sponsored improvements have 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 Emerging Issues Task Force 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 year ended June 30, 2015 of $437 and $437, respectively. The Company recognized barter revenue and barter expense for the year ended June 30, 2014 of $75 and $75, respectively.

License Revenue: in addition to generating revenue from display and video advertising, from time to time the Company may also generate revenue from licensing its proprietary audio recognition software and related loyalty platform. Generally, revenue from such agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation
 

130




The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718").  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 years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $528 and $223, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740").  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. 
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). The standard provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if “conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter (July 1, 2016 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-05 and it has been disclosed within the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). The standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (July 1, 2018 for the Company). Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 improves certain areas of consolidation guidance for reporting organizations (i.e., public, private, and not-for-profit) that are required to evaluate whether to consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (e.g., collateralized debt/loan obligations). ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will not have

131




a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)" ("ASU 2015-05"). ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Segments

Historically, the Company had one operating segment. However, in connection with the sale of the Viggle rewards business (discontinued operations) to Perk in February 2016, which represents a significant portion of the Company's assets and revenues, the Company's remaining operations were divided into two operating segments. These segments offer different products and services are separately reviewed in internal management reports, and managed separately.

Wetpaint: a media channel reporting original news stories and publishing information content covering top television shows, music, celebrities, entertainment news and fashion.

Choose Digital: a business-to-business platform for delivering digital content.
 
The accounting policies followed by the segments are described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The operating segments of the Company include the revenues and expenses that management has determined are specifically or primarily identifiable to each segment, as well as direct and indirect costs that are attributable to the operations of each segment. Direct costs are the operational costs that are administered by the Company following the shared services concept. Indirect costs are the costs of support functions that are provided on a centralized or geographic basis by the Company, which include, but are not limited to, finance, human resources, benefits administration, procurement support, information technology, legal, corporate strategy, corporate governance and other professional services and general commercial support functions. Assets and liabilities are not presented as they are reviewed at the consolidated level by management and not accounted for by segment

Central support costs have been allocated to each operating segment based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification is not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method (primarily based on net sales or direct payroll costs), depending on the nature of the services received. Management considers that such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis, but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the operating segments had been operated on a stand-alone basis for the periods presented.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on unit profit after tax, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is the Company's CEO. Business unit profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the success of each business and determining the going forward strategy for the Company as a whole.

5. Discontinued Operations

On February 8, 2016, the Company completed the sale of assets related to the Company’s rewards business, including the Viggle App, in accordance with the Perk Agreement entered into on December 31, 2015. Management entered into this binding sales agreement following a strategic decision to divest the operations related to the Viggle App and place greater focus on its remaining businesses. The Company has classified the Viggle assets, liabilities and operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. In accordance with ASC No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the inter-segment revenues and expenses related to services provided by Choose Digital to the Viggle rewards business (discontinued operations) are presented at cost in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  


On December 13, 2015, the Company entered into the Perk Agreement. Perk’s shares are currently traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. On February 8, 2016, pursuant to the Perk Agreement, the Company completed the sale of the assets related to the Company’s rewards business, including the Viggle App, to Perk. The total consideration received, net of transaction fees, was approximately 
$5,110, and consisted of the following:

1,370,000 shares of Perk common stock, a portion of which was placed in escrow to satisfy any potential indemnification claims;

2,000,000 shares of Perk common stock if Perk’s total revenues exceed USD $130,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2017;

a warrant entitling the Company to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Perk common stock at a strike price of CDN $6.25 per share in the event the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of shares of Perk common stock is greater than or equal to CDN $12.50 for 20 consecutive trading days in the two year period following the closing of the transaction;

Perk assumed certain liabilities of the Company, consisting of the Viggle points liability.

6.  Acquisitions

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, certain stockholders of
Wetpaint and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (solely in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Agent) ("the Acquisition"). On December 16, 2013, Merger Sub merged with and into Wetpaint, with Wetpaint continuing as the surviving corporation and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. The Acquisition is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Wetpaint is a Seattle, Washington-based Internet company, founded in 2005, that publishes the website Wetpaint.com, which focuses 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.

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.  In addition, in February of 2014, Viggle paid an aggregate amount of approximately $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) to the holders of Wetpaint capital stock in accordance with the allocation set forth in the acquisition 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 Merger Agreement, if the Company completed a recapitalization on or before December 31, 2015, the stock consideration paid in the Acquisition would be adjusted such that (i) if upon giving effect to a recapitalization, the shares constituting such stock consideration collectively represented less than 13.17% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement), the Company would issue to our stockholders that are former stockholders of Wetpaint (the “Wetpaint/Viggle Holders”) the additional number of shares of its common stock as is necessary such that the shares constituting the stock consideration, as so adjusted, represented 13.17% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's 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 a recapitalization, the shares constituting the stock consideration collectively represented greater than 17.55% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement), then the Company 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, valued at $6,100, collectively represented 17.55% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully-diluted basis (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement) as of such time. In connection with the public offering and a recapitalization described below, on April 30, 2014, the Company issued approximately 700,000 shares of common stock and approximately 98,000 restricted stock units to the former shareholders of Wetpaint.

The Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"). Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition closing date. The assets of Wetpaint have been measured at their estimated fair values.

Acquisition of Choose Digital

On June 24, 2014, the Company acquired Choose Digital Inc. ("Choose Digital"), a Miami, Florida based, digital marketplace platform that allows companies to incorporate digital content into existing rewards and loyalty programs in support of marketing and sales initiatives. With the acquisition, the Choose Digital platform will power digital media rewards for the Viggle platform, including music, audio books, TV and movies, enabling Viggle members to get free entertainment content just for enjoying their favorite TV shows and music.
  
In connection with the acquisition, all outstanding shares of Choose Digital capital stock, along with certain promissory notes payable by Choose Digital, were converted into the right to receive in the aggregate (A) approximately 1,963,309 shares of Viggle common stock (the “Stock Consideration”), (B) approximately 205,761 restricted stock units, plus (C) a contingent payment, to be made within five business days after the first anniversary of the closing date, in an aggregate amount up to $4,792, depending on the trading price of Viggle common stock at that time.

This acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition closing date. The assets of Choose Digital 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 an 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.

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

On June 24, 2015, the Company determined that the maximum amount of contingent consideration of $4,792 should be recorded. As such, the Company adjusted the original estimate of contingent consideration of $2,570 to $4,792. The increase of $2,222 is recorded as an expense and included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2015. In addition, at June 30, 2015, due to a shift in business operations and utilization of resources during the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company determined that certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Choose Digital no longer had value (see Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further detail).

The results of operations of Choose Digital were combined with the Company's consolidated results from the date of acquisition of June 24, 2014. Such results, including revenue and net loss, are not material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 8, Intangible Assets and Goodwill for further details on intangible assets acquired. The goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition reflects the strategic fit and revenue and earnings growth potential of this business.

Term Loan Agreement
 
On March 11, 2013, Viggle 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.

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.

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 Company's previous Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit. 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.

On February 13, 2014, the Company entered into a further amendment (the "February Amendment") to the DB Line.   Pursuant to the February Amendment, the maturity date of the DB Line was extended to December 31, 2014, and the mandatory prepayment provision was amended to provide that only the first $10,000 in net cash proceeds from an equity offering shall be required to be used to prepay amounts outstanding under the DB Line.  

On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into a further amendment (the "March Amendment") to the DB Line. Pursuant to the March Amendment, the line of credit was increased from $30,000 to $35,000, providing the Company with an additional $5,000 for working capital purposes. Concurrent with the March Amendment, on March 11, 2014, the Company entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with Deutsche Bank pursuant to which it agreed to provide Deutsche Bank a security interest in $5,000 in cash, as well as a pledge to secure the prompt and timely payment of all obligations under the DB Line. The Pledge and Security Agreement will remain in place as long as there are any obligations outstanding under the DB Line. The $5,000 is classified as short term restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2014.
 
On April 30, 2014, the Company repaid $10,000 of the DB Line in accordance with the February Amendment discussed above. On June 13, 2014, the Company repaid an additional $10,000 of the DB Line. Each repayment reduced the amount available on the DB Line.

On December 15, 2014, the Company repaid the remaining $15,000 outstanding under the DB Line from the proceeds of the Line of Credit Promissory Note (see description below). After this repayment, the DB Line was retired.

The DB Line did not contain any financial covenants.

Repayment of the DB Line was guaranteed by Mr. Sillerman.  In consideration for the guarantee, Mr. Sillerman's designee,

140




Sillerman Investment Company II LLC ("SIC II"), which was the lender under the Amended and Restated $25,000 Line of Credit described below, received a warrant for 125,000 shares of common stock of Viggle, which may be exercised at any time within 60 months of the issuance date at $80.00 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 during the year ended June 30, 2013 of $5,559 related to the Guarantee Warrant issued to SIC II, as Mr. Sillerman's designee.  

The Company used the proceeds from the DB Line to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.

Interest expense on the DB Line for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $185.

Line of Credit Promissory Note

On October 24, 2014, the Company and Sillerman Investment Company III LLC ("SIC III"), a company affiliated with Mr. Sillerman entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which SIC III agreed to purchase certain securities issued by the Company for a total of $30,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Note”), which provides for a $20,000 line of credit to the Company (see Note 9, Stockholders' Equity, for a discussion of the remaining $10,000 of the Securities Purchase Agreement). The Company also agreed to issue to SIC III warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $1,000 advanced under the Note. The warrants will be issued in proportion to the amounts the Company draws under the Note. The exercise price of the warrants will be 10% above the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date prior to the issuance of the warrants. Exercise of the warrants was subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders, which occurred on January 13, 2015.

The Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Note from time to time. The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash on a quarterly basis. The Note matures on October 24, 2017. On October 24, 2014, SIC III made an initial advance under the Note in the principal amount of $4,500. On December 15, 2014, SIC III made an additional advance in the principal amount of $15,500 pursuant to the terms of the Note (the proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under the DB Line, as discussed above). As of June 30, 2015, the total outstanding principal amount of the Note was $20,000. The Note provides for a 3% discount, such that the amount advanced by SIC III was 3% less than the associated principal amount of the advances. Therefore, the net amount actually outstanding under the Note at June 30, 2015, was $19,516, which includes accretion of the discount of $116 (the 3% discount of $600 is being accreted to the principal balance over the life of the Note). From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to 17% per annum.

In connection with the first drawdown of $4,500 under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $3.51, representing a price equal to 10% above the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to issuance. In connection with the additional drawdown of $15,500 under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase 775,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $3.63, representing a price equal to 10% above the closing price of the Company's common stock on the day prior to issuance. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance. Stock compensation expense related to the issuances of warrants to SIC III was $2,049 during the year ended June 30, 2015.

The Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.

The Note also contains certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the Note is outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holder of the Note, (i) make any loan or advance in excess of $500 to any officer, director, employee of affiliate of the Company (except advances and similar expenditures : (a) under the terms of employee stock or option plans approved by the Board of Directors, (b) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice or (c) to its subsidiaries), (ii) incur any indebtedness that exceeds $1,000 in the aggregate other than indebtedness outstanding under the Note, (iii) guaranty any indebtedness of any unaffiliated third party, (iv) change the principal business of the Company or exit the Company's current business, provided that the foregoing is subject to the Board's compliance with its fiduciary duties, (v) sell, assign, or license material technology or intellectual property of the Company except (a) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, (b) sales and assignments thereof in any 12 month period that do not have a fair market value in excess of $500 or (c) in connection with a change of control transaction, (vi) enter into any corporate strategic relationship involving the payment, contribution or assignment by the Company of its assets that have a fair market value in excess of $1,000 or (vii)

141




liquidate or dissolve the Company or wind up the business of the Company, except in connection with changes of control or merger, acquisition or similar transactions or as approved by the Company’s Board in compliance with their fiduciary duties.

Interest expense on the Note was $1,391 for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Each of the Loans bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Principal and interest due under the Loans shall be due and payable upon demand. The principal amount of the Loans may be prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company used the proceeds from the Loans to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.

As discussed in Note 9, Stockholders' Equity, on March 16, 2015, SIC III purchased 7,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for a purchase price of $7,000. The Company used the $7,000 proceeds from the sale of 7,000 shares of Series C Convertible Stock to repay $7,000 in principal amount of the Loans. In addition, the Company used $798 of the proceeds of the Loan on March 16, 2015 to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans. On June 1, 2015, the Company repaid an additional $5,000 in principal amount of the Loans. Accordingly, after the transactions described herein, the total outstanding principal amount of the Loans at June 30, 2015 is $1,575.

Interest expense on the Loans was $306 for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Line of Credit Grid Note

On June 11, 2015, the Company and SIC IV entered into a Line of Credit Grid Note (the "Grid Note"). The Grid Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Grid Note from time to time in an aggregate amount of up to $10,000. The Grid Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash on the maturity of the Grid Note. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Grid Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to 14% per annum.

The Grid Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.

In order for the Company to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, the Company must have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1, unless SIC IV waives this requirement. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing: (a) the Company’s net income for the measurement period, plus the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the Company’s tax expense for the measurement period, by (b) the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the amount of interest expense that would be payable on the amount of the requested draw for the twelve months following the request for the advance. The measurement period is the twelve months ended as of the last day of the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the request for the advance. The Company currently does not have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1, so

142




advances would require the SIC IV to waive this requirement. In addition, in order to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, there can be no event of default under the Note at the time of the request for an advance, including that there has been no material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.

On June 11, 2015 and June 24, 2015, the Company made requests for advances under the Grid Note, and SIC IV made advances to the Company in the amounts of $1,000 and $2,000, respectively.

The Grid Note matures on the first to occur of: (a) 12/31/2016 or (b) upon a “Change of Control Transaction.” A “Change of Control Transaction” includes (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) the issuance by the Company of common stock that results in any “person” or “group” becoming the “beneficial owner” of a majority of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (other than as a result of, or in connection with, any merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving entity following the consummation thereof), excluding transactions with affiliates of the Company.

If an event of default occurs under the Grid Note, SIC IV has the right to require the Company to repay all or any portion of the Grid Note.  An event of default is deemed to have occurred on: (i) the non-payment of any of the amounts due under the Grid Note within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due and payable; (ii) dissolution or liquidation, as applicable, of the Company; (iii) various bankruptcy or insolvency events shall have occurred, (iv) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate the Company makes to Lender under the Note hereto; (v) the Company contests, disputes or challenges in any manner, whether in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, the validity or enforceability of any material provision in the Grid Note; or (vi) a material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.

Interest expense on the Grid Note for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $10.

Related Approvals

Because each of the transactions (other than the DB Line) referred to in the foregoing sections involved Mr. Sillerman, or an affiliate of his, the transactions were subject to certain rules regarding "affiliate" transactions. As such, each 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.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Operating Leases

The Company maintains operating leases for its corporate office and several satellite offices. There are no capital leases. Rent expense for operating leases, which may include free rent or fixed escalation amounts in addition to minimum lease payments, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of each lease term. Total rent expense for continuing operations, net of sublease income, for the Company under operating leases recorded for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $764 and $539, respectively. The Company’s future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows (amounts are shown net of contractual sublease income):

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

143




the same patent family. The Company settled the lawsuit with Blue Spike on April 22, 2015, and issued 50,000 shares of common stock to Blue Spike in connection with the settlement, and based on a closing price of $2.77 on that date, such shares had a fair value of $139.

On May 4, 2015, the Company was served with a lawsuit initiated by Andy Mule, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The lawsuit, which names the Company and each of our directors as defendants, claims a breach of fiduciary duty relating to a proposal by Mr. Sillerman to acquire a portion of Wetpaint from the Company. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the transaction as well as unspecified damages. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit.

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 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.

Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
Prior to September 16, 2013, the Company had authorized a class of series A preferred shares, but none of those shares were issued or outstanding. On September 16, 2013, the Company eliminated the prior class of series A preferred shares and created a new class of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock”). The Company authorized the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. The designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are summarized as follows:
The shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock had an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (the "Stated Value").
The shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were entitled to receive quarterly cumulative dividends at a rate equal to 7% per annum of the Stated Value whenever funds are legally available and when and as declared by the Company's board of directors. If the Company declared a dividend or the distribution of its assets, the holders of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were entitled to participate in the distribution to the same extent as if they had converted each share of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock held into Company common stock.
Each share of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock was convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $1.15.
The Company could redeem any or all of the outstanding Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock at any time at the then current Stated Value, subject to a redemption premium of (i) 8% if redeemed prior to the one year anniversary of the initial issuance date; (ii) 6% if redeemed on or after the one year anniversary of the initial issuance date and prior to the two year anniversary of the initial issuance date; (iii) 4% if redeemed on or after the two year anniversary of the initial issuance date and prior to the three year anniversary of the initial issuance date; (iv) 2% if redeemed on or after the three year anniversary of the initial issuance date and prior to the 42 months anniversary of the initial issuance date; and (v) 0% if redeemed on or after the 42 months anniversary of the initial issuance date. However, no premium was due on the use of up to 33% of proceeds of a public offering of common shares at a price of $80.00 or more per share.
The Company was required to redeem the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock on the fifth anniversary of its issuance.
Upon a change of control of the Company, the holders of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were entitled to a change of control premium of (i) 8% if redeemed prior to the one year anniversary of the initial issuance date; (ii) 6% if redeemed on or after the one year anniversary of the initial issuance date and prior to the two year anniversary of the initial issuance date; (iii) 4% if redeemed on or after the two year anniversary of the initial issuance date and prior to the three year anniversary of the initial issuance date; (iv) 2% if redeemed on or after the three year anniversary of the initial issuance date and prior to the 42 months anniversary of the initial issuance date; and (v) 0% if redeemed on or after the 42 months anniversary of the initial issuance date.

145




Each holder of a share of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (“Dividends”) on such share equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Dividend Rate”) of the Stated Value before any Dividends shall be declared, set apart for or paid upon any junior stock or parity stock. Dividends on a share of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall accrue daily at the Dividend Rate, commence accruing on the issuance date thereof, compound annually, be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and be convertible into common stock in connection with the conversion of such share of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.

The Company accounts for stock options based on the fair market value on the date of grant, with the resulting expense recognized over the requisite service period.  The fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company's stock.  The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury Notes 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 options granted during the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were estimated based on the following weighted average assumptions:

13.  Income Taxes
 
For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record an income tax benefit because it has incurred taxable losses and has no history of generating taxable income and therefore the Company cannot presently anticipate the realization of a tax benefit on its Net Operating Loss ("NOL") carryforward. At June 30, 2015 the Company has an NOL carryforward of $164.5 million, which will begin to expire in 2030. The Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2015 and 2014. Income tax expense for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0 and $6, respectively.

14.  Related Party Transactions

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 as General Counsel, and an allocation generally based on the services provided by Mr. Nelson, which were initially estimated to be divided evenly between the companies.  The Company is responsible for advancing the salary to Mr. Nelson for both companies

149




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 years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company billed Circle $27 and $73, 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 June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $113 and $86, respectively.

The Company also entered into a shared services agreement with SFX Entertainment Inc. ("SFX"), pursuant to which it shares costs for services provided by several of the Company's and/or SFX's employees. Such employees will continue to be paid by their current employers, and SFX will reimburse the Company directly for its portion of such salary and benefits and Company will reimburse SFX 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. The Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the shared services agreement on January 22, 2015, pursuant to which the Company may provide additional services to SFX, and SFX may provide certain services to the Company. In particular, the shared services agreement provides that, in addition to services already provided, certain employees of the Company may provide human resources, content and programming, and facilities services to SFX, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus 20% for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent. In addition, the Amendment provides that SFX may provide certain tax services to the Company, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus 20% for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent.

For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company billed SFX $978 and $398, net of amounts billed by SFX to the Company, respectively.  The net balance due from SFX, including amounts related to the Sales Agency Agreement, discussed below, as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $146 and $0, respectively.

Certain Company accounting personnel provided personal accounting services to Mr. Sillerman.  To the extent that such services were rendered, Mr. Sillerman reimbursed the Company.  For the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company billed Mr. Sillerman $7.  The balance due from Mr. Sillerman as of June 30, 2014 was $6. No such services were provided during the year ended June 30, 2015.

Sales Agency Agreement

On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into a sales agency agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SFX-94 LLC (“SFX-94”), a subsidiary of SFX, pursuant to which the Company appoints SFX-94 as its exclusive sales agent for the sale of advertising and sponsorships. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company consented to SFX-94’s hiring of 25 members of the Company’s sales team, and SFX-94 agreed that it will sell advertising and sponsorships on behalf of the Company during the term of the Sales Agreement. SFX-94 also agreed that it will maintain adequate staffing levels, generally consistent with staffing levels currently maintained by the Company, for the Company’s sale of advertising and sponsorships. The Company will pay SFX-94 a 25% commission on sales made by SFX-94. For barter transactions, the Company will reimburse SFX-94 for any out of pocket and direct costs incurred by SFX-94 with respect to such barter sales (rather than the commission set forth above), and third party ad networks will be excluded from the Sales Agreement. For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company was billed $471 in connection with the Sales Agreement.

The Sales Agreement has a three-year term, and can be terminated by the Company on 90 days’ notice.

Advertising Revenue

During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company provided certain advertising and related services to SFX and its subsidiaries. The total amount of net revenue was $487 and such amount was due from SFX at June 30, 2015.

Marketing Expense

During the year ended June 30, 2015, SFX, and certain subsidiaries of SFX, provided certain marketing and related services to the Company. The total amount of marketing expense was $490 and such amount was due to SFX at June 30, 2015.

License Agreement

On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into an audio recognition and related loyalty program software license and services agreement with SFX. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, SFX paid the Company $5,000 to license its audio recognition software and related loyalty platform for a term of ten years. The amount was deferred and is being amortized over the ten year period. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $500 and $146, respectively, of revenue related to this agreement.

Loans Payable and Stockholders' Equity Transactions

See Note 9, Loans Payable, and Note 11, Stockholders' Equity for a description of certain loans and equity transactions with related parties.

Recapitalization Note
 
In Fiscal 2011, Mr. Sillerman (and his spouse and entities controlled by him), executed a promissory note in accordance with his subscription agreement for the payment of the purchase price of certain shares of common stock, in the amount of $3,242.  The note was 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 year ended June 30, 2014 was $85. The Recapitalization Note was repaid by Mr. Sillerman on February 16, 2014.

Related Approvals

Because the above transactions were 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 approved each of these transactions.


15. 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").  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 21,364 warrants in connection with the May 10, 2012 PIPE. Each warrant has a sale price of $440.00 and is exercisable into 1 share of common stock at a price of $640.00 over a term of three 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 the price of newly issued shares (the "Warrants"). In connection with the PIPE Exchanges described in Note 9,

151




Stockholders' Equity, the exercise price of the Warrants was reset to $92.00 on September 16, 2013. The fair value of such warrants has been determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10. The fair value of the warrants when issued was $5,281 and was $443 as of June 30, 2013. As described in Note 9, Loans Payable, 6,818 warrants were exchanged on September 16, 2013. The remaining 14,545 warrants were marked to market as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 to a fair value of $10 and $15, respectively. The Company recorded gains of $5 and $305 to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The fair value of the warrant is classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015, due to the Company's intention to retire a significant portion of these warrants in a future round of financing. The Company's warrants were classified as a Level 3 input 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 estimated the fair value of contingent consideration for the acquisition of Choose Digital to be $2,570. On June 24, 2015, the Company determined that the maximum amount of consideration of $4,792 should be recorded as the contingency period had passed. As such, the Company adjusted the original estimate of consideration of $2,570 to a final value of $4,792. The increase of $2,222 is recorded as an expense and included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2015. The fair value of the contingent consideration is no longer classified as a Level 3 input and the obligation is presented as contingent consideration liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2015.

Non-financial Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

On a nonrecurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairment. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Measurements based on undiscounted cash flows are considered to be Level 3 inputs. During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company evaluates goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment at the reporting unit level. For each acquisition, the Company performed a detailed review to identify intangible assets and a valuation is performed for all such identified assets. The Company used several market participant measurements to determine estimated value. This approach includes consideration of similar and recent transactions, as well as utilizing discounted expected cash flow methodologies, and/or revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiples, among other methods. The amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions were determined using Level 3 inputs. Fair value for property and equipment was based on other observable transactions for similar property and equipment. Accounts receivable represents the best estimate of balances that will ultimately be collected, which is based in part on allowance for doubtful accounts reserve criteria and an evaluation of the specific receivable balances.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a reporting unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the reporting units retained. The relative fair value of each reporting unit is established using discounted expected cash flow methodologies, and/or revenue or EBITDA multiples, or other applicable valuation methods, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs

Perk.com Transaction

On February 8, 2016, the Company completed the sale of assets related to the Company’s rewards business, including the Viggle App, in accordance with the Perk Agreement with Perk entered into on December 13, 2015. Management entered into this binding sales agreement following a strategic decision to divest the operations related to the Viggle App and place greater focus on its remaining businesses. The terms of the transactions are described below.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On December 13, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Perk. Perk’s shares are currently traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In connection with the Perk Agreement, we agreed to sell to Perk certain assets relating to the Viggle rewards business, including the Viggle App. We retained our interest in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc., Wetpaint, Choose Digital, and the assets relating to its MyGuy game.

Purchase Price and Adjustments

As consideration for the assets sold, we received the following consideration:


154




1,500,000 shares of Perk common shares free and clear of all liens, less the number of shares of Perk common shares applied to the repayment of principal and interest of the credit facility described below (the “Initial Perk Shares”);

2,000,000 shares of Perk common shares if Perk’s combined revenue, as calculated pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, is at least USD $130,000 for the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2016 or January 1, 2017 (the “Earn-Out”);

A warrant (“Warrant 1”) entitling us to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Perk common shares at a strike price of CDN $6.25 per share in the event the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of shares of Perk common shares is greater than or equal to CDN $12.50 per share for 20 consecutive trading days in the two year period following the closing of the Acquisition;

A warrant (“Warrant 2”, and together with Warrant 1, the “Warrants”) entitling us to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Perk common shares at a strike price of CDN $6.25 per share in the event that the VWAP of Perk common shares is greater than or equal to CDN $18.75 per share for 20 consecutive trading days in the two year period following the closing of the Acquisition; and

Perk also assumed certain liabilities of ours, including points liability.

At the time we entered into the Perk Agreement, Perk provided us with a $1,000 secured line of credit, which we fully drew down. We had the option of repaying amounts outstanding under that line of credit by reducing the number of Initial Perk Shares by 130,000. We exercised this option, so we received 1,370,000 shares of Perk common stock at closing, and the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit were deemed paid in full.

Escrow

At the closing, 37.5% (562,600) of the Initial Perk Shares were issued and delivered to an escrow agent to be used exclusively for the purpose of securing our indemnification obligations under the Perk Agreement. The escrow agent will hold such shares for one year from the closing in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of a Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our bylaws and certificate of incorporation provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless any of our officers, directors, employees or agents and reimburse such persons for any and all judgments, fines, liabilities, amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred directly or indirectly in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, for which such persons served in any capacity at the request of us, to which such person is, was or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is, was or becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of us; provided that, (i) such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of us, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (ii) no indemnification is payable if a court having jurisdiction determined such indemnification to be unlawful. Additionally, no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person was determined to be liable to us, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court deems proper.
We do not believe that such indemnification affects the capacity of such person acting as our officer, director or control person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Private Placement
As described elsewhere in this prospectus, on July 12, 2016, the Company closed a private placement of $4,444,460 principal amount of Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”). The Debentures and Warrants were issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 12, 2016, (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and certain accredited investors within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Purchasers”). As a part of the Private Placement, the Company issued Warrants to the Purchasers. The Purchasers have received warrants providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,092,957 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share. In addition, the Company issued to Aegis Capital Corporation, the placement agent in connection with the Private Placement, warrants providing them with the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,063,944 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.3264 per share. The warrants issued to Aegis Capital Corporation contain substantially the same terms as the warrants issued to the Purchasers. Upon the closing of the private placement, the Company received gross proceeds of $4.0 million before placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction.
The issuance and sale of the securities issued in connection with the Financing has not been registered under the Securities Act. The Securities were sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under or exemption from the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. In determining that the issuance of the securities in the Financing qualified for an exemption under Rule 506 under the Securities Act, we relied on the following facts: the securities were offered to two institutional investors and we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities; each of the investors represented that it was an accredited investor as defined in the rules and regulations under the Securities Act and that it was acquiring the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof; and the securities issued were restricted securities.

Item 17. Undertakings
     
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
  
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations);
 
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,

167






therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of New York, State of New York on August 11, 2016.
