2.  Organization and Background

 

Formation and Former Business

 

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994 and had no operating business or full-time employees from December 1996 to 2000, when it acquired all of the outstanding Common Stock of Oaktree Systems, Inc. (“Oaktree”).  Through Oaktree, the Company provided cost effective marketing solutions to organizations needing sophisticated information management tools.  In December 2007, Marketing Data, Inc. acquired an 80% interest in Oaktree for $1 and the Company’s ownership interest in Oaktree was reduced to 20% of Oaktree’s outstanding Common Stock.   On October 24, 2010, Oaktree repurchased the Company’s remaining 20% interest in Oaktree for $0.10.  As a result, Marketing Data, Inc. owned 100% of the outstanding Common Stock of Oaktree.   After the disposition of the Company’s interest in Oaktree and prior to the Recapitalization, the Company was not active and had no operating business.  After the disposition of the Oaktree interest, the Company began to explore the redeployment of its existing assets by identifying and merging with or investing in one or more operating businesses.  The Board of Directors approved the Recapitalization effecting such change.

  

The Recapitalization

 

As previously disclosed, on February 7, 2011, Function(x) Inc. (formerly Gateway Industries, Inc., the “Company”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization (the “Recapitalization Agreement”) by and among the Company, Sillerman Investment Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sillerman”), and EMH Howard LLC, a New York limited liability company (“EMH Howard”). 

 

As part of the Recapitalization, the Company effectuated a 1 for 10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective on February 16, 2011. Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one-tenth of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share.  All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

 

The Company conducts its business under the name Function(x) Inc., with the ticker symbol FNCX.  The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Project Oda, Inc., Viggle Inc., and Loyalize, Inc (formerly known as Fn(x)I Holding Corporation), each a Delaware corporation, and a majority-owned subsidiary, TIPPT Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has its financial information consolidated with Function(x) Inc.

 

The Company’s New Line of Business

 

Function(x) started a new line of business upon completion of the Recapitalization.  The Company’s business is a loyalty program that rewards users for watching television and is built on the simple concept:  Watch TV. Earn Rewards.  The business, which operates under the name ‘Viggle,’ is a loyalty program that rewards our users for watching television.  Users receive points for checking in to and interacting with their favorite TV shows and can then redeem these points for real items such as movie tickets, music and gift cards.  We plan to generate revenue through advertising and the sale of merchandise related to the TV shows and other entertainment viewed by users that would appear in users’ mobile devices through the use of the application.

 

Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue development of its new business and to generate revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. There is no assurance such equity and/or debt offerings will be successful or that development of the new business will be successful. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
