Item 1- Description of Business
 
The Company
 
Our Business
 
We historically operated as a software company. Prior to the acquisition of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (“AccessMedia”) on June 1, 2006, we operated in two business segments: (i) computer aided design and precision engineering (“Precision Design”) and (ii) house plans and architectural drawings (“Houseplans”). As discussed below, we subsequently disposed of Precision Design and, as a result, we now operate in two business segments, AccessMedia and Houseplans.
 
In 2004, we began exploring various ways to enhance shareholder value, including the further migration of Broadcaster from a traditional or packaged software company to offering downloadable media and content over the Internet. We believe that the growth and reach of the Internet coupled with the predictability of recurring revenues should lead to enhanced Broadcaster shareholder value. As such, during 2005 we began discussions with AccessMedia, a developer of a platform for delivering real-time and interactive media over the Internet through its unique “virtual set top box” technology. Concurrent with the completion of the acquisition of AccessMedia, we changed our name to Broadcaster, Inc.
 
We are now a global Internet entertainment network providing consumers with access to online entertainment that is fast, easy, safe, fun, and of great value. We offer a wide variety of on-demand programming including movies, music, television shows, viral videos, mobile media, games, news, sports, and other entertainment focused content, in one place that can be viewed or downloaded at anytime and on any device. Our proprietary virtual set-top box technology available at www.broadcaster.com puts Internet users in control of their entertainment experience allowing them to choose what, when and on which device they want to view media and content.
 
We provide users with delivery of both short and long form digital entertainment content − giving them the power to download content to their desktop computer, laptop, PSP, iPod or preferred mobile entertainment device. We enable consumers to easily find, organize, download and enjoy the growing volumes of high quality content available online. Our capabilities span our proprietary media library, media under license, and media readily available on the Internet. We are also in discussions with major studios, cable and television networks, music labels, and game producers to become a gateway for the direct delivery of first run movies, popular television shows, music and online games.
 
3

 
Our multi-channel Internet entertainment network redefines the user experience on the World Wide Web (the Web), putting more control into the hands of the user with the most advanced technologies including a Download Manager, Entertainment Meta Search, Content Manager, Mobile Transfer Capabilities, Peer-to-Peer Technology, Social Networking Tools and Parental Lock functionality, among others. In addition, our entertainment meta search is one of the most advanced available on the Web and is optimized for rich media content allowing for advanced identification and indexing of media and content.
 
In addition to our Internet entertainment network, we are also a leading on-line distributor of stock house plans. We have an extensive library of over 25,000 unique house plans and have more than 150,000 registered members. Our house plans are sold to developers, builders, architects and individuals allowing our customers to substantially reduce upfront planning and building costs.

International Operations

International operations comprise our Canadian subsidiary, Weinmaster Homes Limited (“Weinmaster”), which is part of the Houseplans segment. Weinmaster was acquired in July 2005.
 
The Merger
 
We completed the merger with AccessMedia (the “Merger”) on June 1, 2006 pursuant to which we issued 29,000,000 shares of our common stock and agreed to issue up to an additional 35,000,000 shares of our common stock upon achievement of certain revenue milestones to the former Stockholders of AccessMedia. In connection with the Merger, we changed our name from International Microcomputer Software, Inc. to Broadcaster, Inc.
 
AccessMedia is led by seasoned Internet entrepreneurs. This team has been one of the foremost innovators of technologies, marketing, and advertising strategies for Internet-based consumer media offerings, and until now this team has operated in a private company environment. Additionally, this team has been a leader in providing web site development, traffic, database management, and hosting for many of the largest worldwide media companies.
 
We believe that the Merger offers us a unique opportunity to enter into the highly scalable Internet media industry. The underlying growth in the Internet media industry, coupled with high margin product offerings, innovative marketing strategies, and exceptional management team, should combine to provide us with substantial growth and profit opportunities, creating significant shareholder value.
 
Sale of Precision Design
 
In June 2006, we sold Precision Design, our legacy software business, to position the company solely as an on-line business. We received a combination of $6.5 million in cash and an interest free note of $1.5 million which was paid in full on July 3, 2006.  Included in the assets sold were the TurboCad and DesignCAD product lines as well as other design and personal productivity titles.
 
The sale of Precision Design is expected to reduce our operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 by approximately $5 million. Additionally, our increased cash positions us to grow our Internet entertainment business and to take advantage of future opportunities.
 
Competitive Business Conditions
 
The Internet industry is highly competitive and characterized by several key factors:

4

·
Rapid changes in technology and customer requirement: New opportunities for existing and new competitors can quickly render existing technologies less valuable.

·
Relatively low barriers to entry: Start-up capital requirements for software companies can be very small, and distribution over the Internet is inexpensive and easily outsourced.
 
·
Significant price competition: Direct distribution of competing products over the Internet may cause prices and margins to decrease in traditional sales channels.
 
These factors could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results, including reduced profit margins and potential loss of market share.
 
Our main products and their primary competition are listed in the following table:

Dependence on Major Customers

No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues in fiscal year 2006 or 2005.
 
Product Development
 
The majority of development costs relating to the Internet content segment relate to development of websites and databases to host the content. All of our Web development is internally developed.
 
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for research and development employees and payments to independent contractors. We spent approximately $218,000 and $68,000 on research and development in the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We will continue to invest in existing and new products which reflects our commitment to developing our core products as well as maintaining strong relationships with our internal and contract development teams.
 
Proprietary Rights and Licenses
 
We use the following trademarks and service marks in our business: Houseplans, Homeplan, and Accessmedia.
 
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology. We take certain steps to protect our technology including:
 
 
·
We rely on a combination of copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosure, and transferring title and other methods.
 
5

 
 
·
We enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees and consultants, and control access to and distribution of our documentation and other proprietary information.
 
 
·
We provide our products to end users under non-exclusive licenses, which generally are non-transferable and have a perpetual term.
 
Software companies face a number of risks relating to proprietary rights and licenses. In particular, we have identified several factors that present the greatest technology risk to us:
 
 
·
We make source code available for some products. The provision of source code may increase the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of our intellectual property.
 
There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation or infringement of our technology. In addition, litigation may be necessary to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation presents several additional risk factors to us:
 
 
·
Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
 
·
As the number of software products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, software developers and publishers may increasingly become subject to infringement claims.
 
 
·
If any valid claims or actions were asserted against us, we might seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance, however, that under such circumstances a license would be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
 
From time to time we have received, and may receive in the future, notice of claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. Although we investigate claims and respond as we deem appropriate and believe we do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that infringement claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against us.
 
Employees
 
As of June 30, 2006, we had 46 employees, of which 43 are full-time employees and 3 part-time employees. All employees are located in North America. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we have experienced no work stoppages. Our success depends to a significant extent upon the performance of our executive officers, key technical personnel, and other employees.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is highly speculative and invovles a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report, before making an investment decision. If any of the circumstances described in these risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our shares could decline, and you may lose part of all of your investment.
 
Our operating results may fluctuate in future periods, which may adversely affect our stock price.

Our operating results have been in the past, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly and annual fluctuations as a result of numerous factors. These factors include:

 
·
fluctuations in demand for our products and services;
 
 
·
price and product competition;
 
 
·
overall movement toward industry consolidation;
 
 
·
variations in sales channels, product costs, or mix of products sold;
 
 
·
fluctuations in our gross margins;
 
 
·
our ability to achieve cost reductions;
 
 
·
actual events, circumstances, outcomes, and amounts differing from judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in determining the values of certain assets (including the amounts of related valuation allowances), liabilities, and other items reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements;
 
 
·
how well we execute on our strategy and operating plans;
 
 
·
changes in accounting rules, such as recording expenses for employee stock option grants and changes in tax accounting principles;
 
 
·
compliance expense including the costs of procedures required for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 reporting and the costs of procedure remediation, if any; and
 
 
·
merger and acquisition activity.
 
As a consequence, operating results for a particular future period are difficult to predict, and, therefore, prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Any of the foregoing factors, or any other factors discussed elsewhere herein, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition that could adversely affect our stock price.

The Selling Shareholders intend to sell their shares of common stock in the market over time, which sales may cause our stock price to decline. 

We are seeking to register for sale 33,833,874 shares of our common stock which are owned by certain number of shareholders (the Selling Shareholders), along with 979,036 shares of additional common stock that may be issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants. Our Selling Shareholders have not engaged an underwriter in connection with this registration, and have indicated that they do not intend to do so. The three-month average daily volume of our stock is approximately 109,000 shares. The number of our shares available for resale in the public market as a result of this registration may therefore exceed the number of shares that purchasers wish to buy. This potential increase in the number of shares that may be available for public trading may dramatically reduce the price of our common stock on the basis of supply and demand alone.

Our revenue for a particular period is difficult to predict, and a shortfall in revenue may harm our operating results.

As a result of a variety of factors, our revenue for a particular quarter is difficult to predict. Our net sales may grow at a slower rate than in past periods, or may decline. Our ability to meet financial expectations could also be adversely affected by the timing and mix of individual sales.

7

We plan our operating expense levels based primarily on forecasted revenue levels. These expenses and the impact of long-term commitments are relatively fixed in the short term. A shortfall in revenue could lead to operating results being below expectations because we may not be able to quickly reduce these fixed expenses in response to short-term business changes.

We expect gross margin to vary overtime, and our recent gross margin may not be sustainable.

Our product gross margins may not be sustainable and may be adversely affected by numerous factors, including:

 
·
changes in customer, geographic, or product mix;
 
 
·
introduction of new products;
 
 
·
increased price competition;
 
 
·
changes in distribution channels;
 
 
·
how well we execute on our strategy and operating plans; and
 
 
·
inability to achieve targeted cost reductions.
 
We have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions that could disrupt our operations and harm our operating results.

Our growth depends upon market growth, our ability to enhance our existing products, and our ability to introduce new products on a timely basis. We intend to continue to address the need to develop new products and enhance existing products through acquisitions of other companies, product lines, technologies, and personnel. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:

 
·
difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, products, and personnel of the acquired companies;
 
 
·
diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business;
 
 
·
potential difficulties in completing projects associated with in-process research and development;
 
 
·
difficulties in entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors in such markets have stronger market positions;
 
 
·
insufficient revenue to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions; and
 
 
·
the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies.
 
Acquisitions may also cause us to:
 
 
·
issue common stock that would dilute our current shareholders’ percentage ownership;
 
 
·
assume liabilities;
 
 
·
record goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that will be subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges;
 
 
·
incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets;
 
 
·
incur large and immediate write-offs and restructuring and other related expenses; and
 
 
·
become subject to intellectual property or other litigation.
 
Mergers and acquisitions of high-technology companies are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful and will not materially adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions could materially harm our business, operating results, or financial condition.

8

Adverse resolution of litigation may harm our operating results or financial condition.

We are a party to lawsuits in the normal course of our business. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution of a particular lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition. For additional information regarding certain of the lawsuits in which we are involved, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” contained in Part I of this report.

System failures could damage our reputation and harm our business.
 
Continuous and uninterrupted performance of our systems is critical to our success. We must protect these systems against damage from fire, power loss, water damage, earthquakes, telecommunications failures, viruses, vandalism and other malicious acts, and similar unexpected adverse events. Our operations depend upon our ability to maintain and protect our computer systems, data centers and server locations. Our corporate headquarters, data center and primary operations are located in California, an area susceptible to seismic activity and possible power outages. We cannot eliminate the risk of downtime caused by factors such as natural disasters and other events. Further, individuals may attempt to breach our network security, such as hackers, which could damage our network. The occurrence of any of these events could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our executive officers and key personnel are critical to our success, and our failure to retain a team of key personnel in a competitive marketplace may impair our ability to grow our business.
 
The success of the AccessMedia acquisition depends on our ability to retain our management team and to attract, assimilate and retain other highly qualified employees, including engineering, technology, marketing, sales and support personnel into a functional team achieving corporate goals. AccessMedia’s key employees are not bound by agreements that could prevent them from terminating their employment at any time. In addition, there is substantial competition for highly skilled employees. If we fail to attract and retain key AccessMedia employees, our business could be harmed.
 
We have incurred significant costs associated with the acquisition of AccessMedia.
 
We estimate that we have incurred in direct transaction costs of approximately $3,690,000 associated with the AccessMedia acquisition, including direct costs of the acquisition as well as liabilities to be accrued in connection with the acquisition. There is no assurance that we will not incur additional material charges in subsequent quarters to reflect additional costs associated with the acquisition. If the benefits of the acquisition do not exceed the costs of acquiring AccessMedia, our financial results may be adversely affected.
 
AccessMedia’s business model is unproven, which makes it difficult to evaluate its current business and future prospects.
 
Our business is substantially dependent upon AccessMedia’s ability to generate license revenue from users who have installed specialized media software on their personal computers. This is a relatively new industry and product which makes an evaluation of its current business and future prospects difficult. The revenue and income potential of this business is unproven.
 
We do not own the principal intellectual property used in our AccessMedia business nor do we have the sole right to exploit it.
 
The principal intellectual property that underlies AccessMedia’s “virtual set-top box” used in distributing online media content is not owned by us but is licensed from third parties, generally on a non-exclusive basis. The third party licensors are free to exploit the intellectual property themselves or license it to an unlimited number of other competitors. This competition could result in price reductions, fewer customers and orders, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which would materially adversely affect the our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, we are not in control of the protection or prevention of infringement of such intellectual property.
 
9

 
We generally do not have the right to modify the licensed technology used in our AccessMedia business or receive updates or upgrades.
 
We generally do not have the right to modify the licensed technology used in our AccessMedia business, nor do we have the right to receive updates or upgrades or to obtain a copy of the source code for such technology. In the limited circumstances where we have the right to modify the licensed technology, the licensor owns such modifications. In acquiring AccessMedia, we acquired limited rights to technology that we may not have the rights to improve in the future to maintain a competitive offering or support existing products or service offerings.
 
AccessMedia has incurred losses in the past and may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.
 
AccessMedia experienced startup losses in each quarterly and annual period from its inception through the first calendar quarter of 2006. AccessMedia may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. AccessMedia expects that its operating expenses will continue to increase. We cannot assure you that AccessMedia will be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability, which failure would have a materially adverse effect on our business.
 
We depend on a limited number of third parties for support, distribution and development services.
 
We depend on agreements with a limited number of third parties, particularly Alchemy Communications, Inc. (“Alchemy”), which is an affiliate of AccessMedia. Alchemy provides office and operating space, staffing, technical services and consulting, bandwidth and hosting, network infrastructure and other related services. Given the scope of the services provided by Alchemy, it is our most significant vendor relationship. If Alchemy is unable to provide appropriate levels of service as our business grows or our relationship does not prove workable, we will be forced to seek new providers and our ability to locate cost-effective relationships is not proven.
 
We depend on Internet advertising to promote our products and services.
 
We depend in part on the use of online advertisements to attract new users. We buy these advertisements from third parties to promote our products and services. We believe that our business will continue to rely on this method for attracting our audience. If we are unable to purchase these advertisements on cost-effective terms, this could limit our ability to attract users cost-effectively. If online advertising become less effective or more expensive, this method may not remain a useful means of attracting new users. If we were unable to continue to obtain Internet advertising on a cost-effective basis, our ability to attract new users would be impaired, which could harm our business.
 
If we fail to sustain and expand the number of users who install our software or fail to attract advertisers, we will not be able to sustain or increase revenue.
 
Advertising is currently a significant part of our proposed revenues. The success of our business depends in part on our ability to offer our advertising customers access to a large audience, comprised of users who have downloaded our software products. As a result, it is critical to our success that we continually add substantial numbers of new users. In addition, we must attract users who respond to our ads by clicking through to advertisers’ web pages or purchasing the advertisers’ products, because these click through and conversion rates are critical to our ability to maintain and grow our advertising rates. If fewer users download our software, we would not be able to maintain or expand the number of active users.
 
Our products and services may not perform as expected, which could harm our business.
 
If our services fail to perform properly, our customers and advertisers may discontinue their use of our products and services. Despite testing, our existing products or services may not perform as expected due to unforeseen problems. Any defects may cause us to incur significant expenses and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from other aspects of our business.
 
Negative perceptions and adverse publicity concerning our business practices could damage our reputation and harm our business.
 
The digital media distribution industry is vulnerable to negative public perception. Negative perception of our business practices or negative press reports linking our services to questionable business practices of other companies in our industry could damage our reputation, cause new users not to install or existing users to uninstall our software or cause consumers to use technologies that impede our ability to deliver ads. This negative perception could also lead to increased regulation of our industry or other regulations that adversely affect our business practices. Any of these events could reduce the demand for our services among advertisers and significantly harm our business.
 
10

 
Growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources, which could prevent us from successfully implementing our business plan.
 
We are currently expecting a period of rapid growth in our headcount and operations, which will place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. We anticipate that further growth will be required to increase our user and advertiser base. Our success will depend in part upon the ability of our senior management to manage this growth effectively. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we will be unable to execute our business plan.
 
Our business substantially depends upon the continued growth of the Internet and Internet-based systems.

A substantial portion of our business and revenue depends on growth of the Internet and on the use of that as a sales and distribution mechanism. To the extent that the Internet does not support this activity whether through changes in its use, lowered reliability or other factors, we could experience material harm to our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Changes in industry structure and market conditions could lead to charges related to discontinuances of certain of our products or businesses and asset impairments.

In response to changes in industry and market conditions, we may be required to strategically realign our resources and consider restructuring, disposing of, or otherwise exiting businesses. Any decision to limit investment in or dispose of or otherwise exit businesses may result in the recording of special charges, such as technology-related write-offs, workforce reduction costs, charges relating to consolidation of excess facilities, or claims from third parties who were resellers or users of our products. Our estimates with respect to the useful life or ultimate recoverability of our carrying basis of assets, including purchased intangible assets, could change as a result of such assessments and decisions. Additionally, we are required to perform goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and future goodwill impairment tests may result in a charge to earnings.

Our operating results and future prospects could be materially harmed by uncertainties or regulation of the Internet.

Currently, few laws or regulations apply directly to access or commerce on the Internet. We could be materially adversely affected by regulation of the Internet and Internet commerce in any country where we operate. Such regulations could include matters such as sales taxes on Internet product sales, and access charges for Internet service providers. The adoption of regulation of the Internet and Internet commerce could decrease demand for our products and, at the same time, increase the cost of selling our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

AccessMedia operates in a very competitive environment.
 
The markets in which AccessMedia competes are intensely competitive, highly fragmented and characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving standards. We expect that we will continue to experience vigorous competition from current competitors and new competitors, including Disney/ABC, NBC, CBS, Apple and others that may have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do and may have large current customer bases and content agreements in place. Many other companies will compete in specific areas of our business. We expect additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter into our product market. This competition could result in price reductions, fewer customers and sales, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which would materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
11

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantial damages and prevent service delivery.
 
The license agreements that permit AccessMedia to use the licensed technology contain only limited representations and warranties of the licensor and limited rights to indemnification for claims of infringement. Third parties may claim that our products or services infringe or violate their intellectual property rights. Any such claims could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages and prevent us from using licensed technology that may be fundamental to our business service delivery. Even if AccessMedia were to prevail, any litigation regarding its intellectual property could be costly and time consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. AccessMedia may also be obligated to indemnify its business partners in any such litigation, which could further exhaust our resources. Furthermore, as a result of an intellectual property challenge, AccessMedia may be prevented from providing some or all of its services unless it enters into royalty, license or other agreements. AccessMedia may not be able to obtain such agreements at all or on terms acceptable to us, and as a result, AccessMedia may be precluded from offering most or all of its products and services.
 
If such claims were to be filed and determined adversely to AccessMedia, AccessMedia could be enjoined from using licensed technology that may be fundamental to our business. AccessMedia could also be forced to pay substantial monetary damages. Any negative outcome against us could substantially harm our business and the value of AccessMedia could be substantially reduced.
 
We are much smaller than certain competitors in the media business.
 
Our AccessMedia business revenues, customer base and operations are much smaller than certain other providers of entertainment and media products and services. Very large media companies continue to view online media as a channel for distribution of their existing products or as an area in which to expand their business. These competitors have substantially more resources and could impact AccessMedia’s business.
 
Governmental regulation and legal uncertainties of the Internet may restrict our business or raise its costs.
 
There are currently few laws or regulations that specifically regulate communications or commerce on the Internet. Laws and regulations may be adopted in the future, however, that address issues including content, copyrights, distribution, antitrust matters, user privacy, pricing, and the characteristics and quality of products and services. An increase in regulation or the application of existing laws to the Internet could significantly increase our costs of operations and harm our business, particularly our AccessMedia business. For example, the Communications Decency Act of 1996 sought to prohibit the transmission of certain types of information and content over the Web. Additionally, several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate Internet service providers and online service providers in a manner similar to long distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on these companies. Imposition of access fees could increase the cost of transmitting data over the Internet. Moreover, it may take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as property ownership, obscenity, libel and personal privacy are applicable to the Internet or the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business.
 
If the federal or state governments impose sales and use taxes on Internet sales, this could curtail the use of the Internet as a commerce channel. Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that multiple federal, state or foreign jurisdictions might inconsistently regulate Internet activities. Any of these developments could harm our business.
 
The regulatory environment with respect to online media and data privacy practices is also evolving. Electronic privacy is a public and governmental concern in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission has increasingly focused on issues affecting online media, particularly online privacy and security issues.
 
Foreign legislation has been enacted, and there is federal and state legislation pending that is aimed at regulating the collection and use of personal data from Internet users. For example, the European Union has adopted directives to address privacy and electronic data collection concerns, which limit the manner in which the personal data of Internet users may be collected and processed. Our relationship with our customers will often involve the collection of personal data.
 
The enactment of new legislation, changes in the regulatory climate, or the expansion, enforcement or interpretation of existing laws could preclude us from offering some or all of our services or expose us to additional costs and expenses, require substantial changes to our business or otherwise substantially harm our business. Further, additional legislation or regulation could be proposed or enacted at any time in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
 
12

 
Our market may undergo rapid technological change, and our future success will depend on our ability to develop and launch products and services of interest to consumers.
 
If new industry standards and practices emerge in the Internet and online media industry, our existing services, technology and systems may become obsolete. We cannot assure you that we will be able to address technological change in our industry in a timely fashion. Our AccessMedia products and services are relatively new in their current form and we cannot rely upon historical customer acceptance. Additionally, our technology which involves peer-to-peer networking may not be acceptable to consumers or, if accepted, may fall from favor and require us to develop new products and services.
 
Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions.

Certain of our products are associated with building starts and negative trends in those and other areas could harm our business, operating results, or financial condition.
 
Our stock price may be volatile.

Our common stock may experience price volatility. This can be prompted by reported results, market conditions and/or general economic and political conditions, and these factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock in the future.

The public markets may not be receptive to our principal focus as an Internet based media company.
 
Achieving the benefits of the acquisition of AccessMedia will depend in part on the extent to which the public markets are receptive to our transformation from a software company to primarily an Internet media company and to AccessMedia’s management team, technology and media library, and the success of AccessMedia’s software. There can be no assurance that the public markets will be receptive to our new business or that the public will accept AccessMedia’s offerings.
 
Since our common stock will be subject to penny stock rules, you may experience substantial difficulty in selling them.
 
Our common stock is a penny stock. The SEC has established penny stock rules, which restrict the ability of brokers to solicit the sale of certain securities of companies whose assets, revenue and/or stock price fall below minimal thresholds. The penny stock rules limit the ability of a broker to solicit purchasers, which reduces liquidity. They also generally require a broker to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prior to a transaction in a penny stock. The broker must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. These additional requirements may hinder your ability to sell your common stock.
 
Because our common stock is not listed on a stock exchange, investors may be unable to resell their shares at publicly quoted prices.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the NASD’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC”) which is less liquid than the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market. This may hinder your ability to sell your common stock and result in you receiving a lower price than the quoted price when you sell your shares. Accordingly, investors may lose money due to this lack of liquidity.
 
Item 2- Description of Property
 
Our principal offices are located in Chatsworth, California occupying approximately 14,650 square feet of office space. The lease term expires in September 2007. We also occupy approximately 10,000 square feet of lease office space in Novato, California, approximately 5,000 square feet of which is sub-leased to an unrelated third party on similar terms to those of the master lease. Our lease expires in March 2007.
 
We believe the space is adequate for our immediate needs. Additional space may be required as we expand our activities. We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining any required additional facilities.
 
13

 
Item 3- Legal Proceedings 
 
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.

The Company’s subsidiary Accessmedia Networks, Inc. was named as one of a number of co-defendants in a suit filed by the FTC in the Central District of California alleging a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act arising from products known as Movieland.com, Moviepass.TV, and Popcorn.net. A U.S. district court judge denied the FTC's request to issue a temporary restraining order. Trial on the merits of the case will be scheduled for a later time. Management believes the claims are without merit and the Company intends to defend the actions vigorously. While management believes there is no legal basis for liability, due to the uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, no reasonable estimate of loss is available. Accessmedia Networks, Inc was also named as one of a number of co-defendants in a suit filed by the Washington State Attorney General alleging violations of the Washington Spyware Act and Consumer Protection Act arising from products known as Movieland.com, Moviepass.TV, and Popcorn.net. The Company intends to vigorously defend the allegations. While management believes there is no legal basis for liability, due to the uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, no reasonable estimate of loss is available.
 
In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 6- Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-KSB.
 
Overview
 
We historically operated as a software company. Prior to the acquisition of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (“AccessMedia”) on June 1, 2006, we operated in two business segments: (i) computer aided design and precision engineering (“Precision Design”) and (ii) house plans and architectural drawings (“Houseplans”). As discussed below, we subsequently disposed of Precision Design and, as a result, we now operate in two business segments, AccessMedia and Houseplans.
 
16

 
In 2004, we began exploring various ways to enhance shareholder value, including the further migration of Broadcaster from a traditional or packaged software company to offering downloadable media and content over the Internet. We believe that the growth and reach of the Internet coupled with the predictability of recurring revenues should lead to enhanced Broadcaster shareholder value. As such, during 2005 we began discussions with AccessMedia, a developer of a platform for delivering real-time and interactive media over the Internet through its unique “virtual set-top box” technology. Concurrent with the completion of the acquisition of AccessMedia, we changed our name to Broadcaster, Inc.
 
We are now a global Internet entertainment network providing consumers with access to online entertainment that is fast, easy, safe, fun, and of great value. We offer a wide variety of on-demand programming including movies, music, television shows, viral videos, mobile media, games, news, sports, and other entertainment focused content, in one place that can be viewed or downloaded at anytime and on any device. Our proprietary virtual set-top box technology available at www.broadcaster.com puts Internet users in control of their entertainment experience allowing users to choose what, when and on which device they want to view media and content.
 
We provide users with delivery of both short and long form digital entertainment content − giving them the power to download content to their desktop computer, laptop, PSP, iPod or preferred mobile entertainment device. We enable consumers to easily find, organize, download and enjoy the growing volumes of high quality content available online. Our capabilities span our proprietary media library, media under license, and media readily available on the Internet. We are also in discussions with major studios, cable and television networks, music labels, and game producers to become a gateway for the direct delivery of first run movies, popular television shows, music and online games.
 
Our multi-channel Internet entertainment network redefines the user experience on the Web, putting more control into the hands of the user with the most advanced technologies including a Download Manager, Entertainment Meta Search, Content Manager, Mobile Transfer Capabilities, Peer-to-Peer Technology, Social Networking Tools and Parental Lock functionality, among others. In addition, our entertainment meta search is one of the most advanced available on the Web and is optimized for rich media content allowing for advanced identification and indexing of media and content.
 
In addition to our Internet entertainment network, we are also a leading on-line distributor of stock house plans. We have an extensive library of over 25,000 unique house plans and have more than 150,000 registered members. Our house plans are sold to developers, builders, architects and individuals allowing our customers to substantially reduce upfront planning and building costs.

International Operations

International operations comprise our Canadian subsidiary, Weinmaster Homes Limited (“Weinmaster”), which is part of the Houseplans segment. Weinmaster was acquired in July 2005.

Strategy and Growth
 
We believe that consistent growth of both the revenues and operating earnings can be achieved through internally developed products and services, and through acquisition. Management believes that good value target companies are present in the marketplace and that business combinations with these entities would help us achieve our growth potential in addition to providing synergies that would improve profitability.
 
The Company had approximately $14.1 million cash or cash equivalents as of June 30, 2006. Our current cash and cash equivalents balance represents our largest balance on hand at the Company within the past two fiscal years. The statement of operations for both recent years reflect losses under generally accepted accounting principles but, since the expense contained significant non-cash amortization of past corporate transactions, these reported results may not fully represent the financial health of the business. We have a practice of engaging in acquisitions and, when favorable, divestures and these actions could cause our liquidity to vary substantially.

Acquisitions and Dispositions during the Year
 
The Weinmaster Homes, Ltd. Acquisition
 
On July 1, 2005, Houseplans, Inc, our wholly owned subsidiary, consummated the acquisition of all the stock of Weinmaster Homes, Ltd., pursuant to a stock purchase agreement between Weinmaster Homes, Ltd., Bruce Weinmaster and Janice Weinmaster and Houseplans, Inc. The purchase price of approximately $4.0 million consisted of $2.0 million in cash, $1.0 million in a promissory note and $1.0 million (based on the five trading days average immediately preceding and including June 28, 2005) in Broadcaster’s unregistered common stock, which the Company has committed to register with the SEC.

The Sale of Allume

On July 1, 2005, we sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Allume to Smith Micro for an aggregate sales price of $12.8 million made up as follows:

The fair value of the common stock was based on the five-trading-day average price of Smith Micro’s common stock surrounding the date the business combination was announced.

At closing an indemnity escrow was established to secure certain representations and warranties included in our stock purchase agreement with Smith Micro. The following sale proceeds were deposited into the escrow.

The value of the common stock was based on the date of closing.

On November 2, 2005, we replaced the shares of Smith Micro common stock in escrow with cash, as permitted by the escrow agreement.

On November 10, 2005, we sold 100% of our holdings of Smith Micro shares at a gain of $923,000 which was shown in Other Income as Realized Gain on Securities in the December quarter.

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, Smith Micro released $500,000 plus interest of $7,000 and $750,000 plus interest of $26,000 of the escrowed cash to us in December 2005 and March 2006, respectively. These amounts, when released, added to our calculation of gain or loss on the sale.

As a result of this sale, we have categorized the assets, liabilities and operations of Allume as discontinued operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 we recorded a gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $776,000 representing the amount released from escrow on March 31, 2006 plus accrued interest. The gain on the sale of Allume totaled $302,000 as of March 31, 2006. This gain calculation does not consider the remaining cash held in escrow of approximately $0.3 million and is subject to change in future reporting periods depending upon the future release of cash from escrow.

The Acquisition of AccessMedia
 
We completed the merger with AccessMedia (the “Merger”) on June 1, 2006 pursuant to which we issued 29,000,000 shares of our common stock and agreed to issue up to an additional 35,000,000 shares of our common stock upon achievement of certain revenue milestones to the former shareholders of AccessMedia. In connection with the Merger, we changed our name to Broadcaster, Inc.
 
AccessMedia is led by seasoned Internet entrepreneurs. This team has been one of the foremost innovators of technologies, marketing, and advertising strategies for Internet-based consumer media offerings, and until now this team has operated in a private company environment. Additionally, this team has been a leader in providing web site development, traffic, database management, and hosting for many of the largest worldwide media companies.
 
We believe that the Merger offers us a unique opportunity to enter into the highly scalable Internet media industry. The underlying growth in the Internet media industry, coupled with high margin product offerings, innovative marketing strategies, and exceptional management team, should combine to provide us with substantial growth and profit opportunities, creating significant shareholder value. We expect this substantial revenue growth and positive cash flow to begin almost immediately.
 
Sale of Precision Design
 
In June, 2006, we sold Precision Design, our legacy software business as part of our overall strategy to position the company solely as an on-line business. We received a combination of $6.5 million in cash and an interest free note of $1.5 million, which was paid in full on July 3, 2006.  $0.5 million of the purchase price is deposited in an indemnity escrow to secure certain representations and warranties included in the asset purchase agreement. Included in the assets sold were the TurboCad and DesignCAD product lines as well as other design and personal productivity titles.
 
The sale of Precision Design will reduce our operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 by approximately $5 million. Additionally, our increased cash positions us to grow our Internet entertainment business and to take advantage of future opportunities.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Those material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed below.
 
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Four of these policies, discussed immediately below, are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.
 
19

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (generally a purchase order), product or service has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting account is probable.
 
 
·
Revenue from packaged product sales to resellers and end users is recorded at the time of the sale net of estimated returns.
 
·
Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized when the product sells through to retailers and end users. Sales to distributors permit limited rights of return according to the terms of the contract.
 
·
For software and content delivered via the Internet, revenue is recorded when the customer downloads the software, activates the subscription account or is shipped the content. For online media revenue when payment is collected
 
·
Revenue from post contract customer support (PCS) is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
·
Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
·
We use the residual method to recognize revenue when a license agreement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date.   If there is an undelivered element under the license arrangement, we defer revenue based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered element, as determined by the price charged when the element is sold separately. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, we defer all revenue until sufficient evidence exists or all elements have been delivered.
 
·
Non-refundable advanced payments received under license agreements with no defined terms are recognized as revenue when the customer accepts the delivered software.
 
·
Revenue from software licensed to developers, including amounts in excess of non-refundable advanced payments, is recorded as the developers ship products containing the licensed software.
 
·
Revenue from minimum guaranteed royalties in republishing agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Royalties in excess of the guaranteed minimums are recognized when collected.
 
·
Revenue from original equipment manufacturer (OEM) contracts is recognized upon completion of our contractual obligations.
 
·
Revenue related to the display of advertisements on its Internet properties as impressions (the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users) are delivered, as long as no significant obligations remain at the end of the period. To the extent that significant obligations remain at the end of the period, the Company defers recognition of the corresponding revenue until the remaining guaranteed amounts are achieved.
 
·
Revenue from the display of text-based links to the websites of its advertisers is recognized as the click-throughs (the number of times a user clicks on an advertiser's listing) occur.
 
Reserve for returns, price discounts and rebates
 
Reserves for returns, price discounts and rebates are estimated using historical averages, open return requests, channel inventories, recent product sell-through activity and market conditions. Our allowances for returns, price discounts and rebates are based upon management’s best judgment and estimates at the time of preparing the financial statements. Reserves are subjective estimates of future activity that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates.
 
Our return policy generally allows our distributors to return purchased products primarily in exchange for new products or for credit towards future purchases as part of stock balancing programs. These returns are subject to certain limitations that may exist in the contract with an individual distributor governing, for example, aggregate return amounts, and the age, condition and packaging of returned product. Under certain circumstances, such as terminations or when a product is defective, distributors could receive a cash refund if returns exceed amounts owed.
 
20

 
Impairment
 
Property, equipment, intangible and certain other long-lived assets are amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenues. We account for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS 144, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, goodwill is being assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach for financial reporting. We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
 
Stock Based Awards
 
We account for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, under which no compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements for employee stock arrangements when grants are made at fair market value. We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.
 
Business Combinations
 
In accordance with business combination accounting, we allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We engage third-party appraisal firms to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
 
Forward Looking Statement
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. This annual report on Form 10-KSB, and in particular this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations,” may contain forward-looking statements regarding future events or our future performance. These future events and future performance mentioned in forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual events or our actual future results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in such forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. This analysis is not intended to serve as a basis for projection of future events.
 
21

 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

Revenues by Business Segment

We have two business segments: AccessMedia and Houseplans.

AccessMedia: Although it was only recently commercially launched, AccessMedia generated revenue of $945,000 for the one month ended June 30, 2006. Revenue includes software sales, internet media advertising sales and the sale of text-based internet links. Sales of downloaded products are recognized ratably over the term of the license sold. Sales of advertisements are recognized upon the delivery of the impressions guaranteed. Sales of click throughs are recognized upon delivery of the click throughs guaranteed.
 
HousePlans: We acquired Houseplans Inc (formerly Planworks LLC) in November 2003, Abbisoft House Plans, Inc in September 2004 and Weinmaster Homes, Ltd in July 2005. We have grown this business to be the leading online seller of stock house plans, targeting general contractors, consumers and designers. Our websites include houseplans.com, homeplanfinder.com, houseplanguys.com, globalhouseplans.com and weinmaster.com.

Revenues generated by this segment grew substantially during the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year from $4,347,000 to $7,258,000 a 67% increase. Excluding the acquisition of Weinmaster, revenue grew from $4,347,000 to $5,021,000 a 15.6% increase.
 
Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit increased from $2,523,000 to $5,029,000 or 100.0% for the twelve months ended June30, 2005 and June30, 2006 respectively. Gross margin increased from 58.02% to 61.3%, primarily as a result of improvements in Houseplans gross profit discussed below.

AccessMedia’s cost of revenue consists of costs related to the products and services AccessMedia provides to customers. These costs include materials, salaries and related expenses for product support personnel, depreciation and maintenance of equipment used in providing services to customers and facilities expenses. The cost of revenue increased as a function of increasing activity over the periods and as result of amortization of assets acquired during 2005.

AccessMedia expects to become cash flow positive after a full product launch, when the overhead costs described above can be amortized over a larger revenue base. AccessMedia also expects its product offerings to expand and the mixture of sales to change. Because of its limited operating history, changes in revenue mix, recent exit from the development stage and evolving business model, AccessMedia believes that analysis of historical cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is not meaningful. 

Houseplans gross profits increased from $2,523,000 to $4,510,000, or 79.0% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 respectively. Gross margin increased from 58.0% to 62.1%, primarily as a result of more competitive royalty rates with our vendors, an increased collection of proprietary royalty-free content and the successful integration of acquisitions.
 
23

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased from $1,903,000 to $2,944,000, or 54.6% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 respectively. This increase was principally due to the merger with AccessMedia and the acquisition of Weinmaster.

Sales and marketing expense for AccessMedia consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for sales, support and marketing personnel, commissions, costs and expenses for customer acquisition programs and referrals, a portion of facilities expenses and depreciation and amortization of equipment. AccessMedia’s expense levels have increased because of staffing and costs involved in testing and prototyping programs for selling its software, advertising and text-based links. AccessMedia anticipates that sales and marketing expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars as AccessMedia adds sales and marketing personnel and increases its customer acquisition activities.

Sales and marketing expenses for Houseplans increased during the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period from the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly the result of the additional sales and marketing expenses related to our newly acquired business (WHL), the increased direct marketing expenses, especially relating to advertising necessary to increase the traffic to our websites and to the increased payroll and related expenses from additional headcount. Despite the increase in sales and marketing expenses for this segment during the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period from the previous fiscal year, we continue to integrate the acquisitions and we continue to implement savings and identify synergies among our business units.
 
General and Administrative

General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for administrative, finance, legal, human resources and executive personnel, fees for professional services and costs of accounting and internal control systems to support its operations. Expenses have increased primarily due to the addition of headcount in management and administration to support the increasing activity levels and as a result of amortization of assets acquired during 2006.

AccessMedia anticipates that general and administrative expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars as AccessMedia builds its management team and hires additional administrative personnel and incurs increased costs such as professional fees. AccessMedia expects to secure a number of services from a related party at a market rate.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for research and development employees and payments to independent contractors, mainly our third party contract development teams.
 
Interest and Other, Net

Interest and other, net, changed from a net expense of $121,000 to a net gain of $89,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 respectively. The change was principally due to an increase in cash balances and a reduction in debt obligations resulting from the deployment of proceeds from the sale of Allume.

Gain / (Loss) on Marketable Securities

Gain / (loss) on Marketable Securities increased from ($42,000 ) to $765,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 respectively. The change was primarily due to the gain recorded on the sale of Smith Micro shares acquired as part of the consideration for the sale of Allume.
 
24

Provision for State and Federal Income Taxes 

We recorded income tax expense of $11,000 and $25,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The tax expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 primarily represented accrued federal and state income taxes resulting from the limitation of net operating loss carryforwards and accrued Canadian income taxes. The current tax provision was offset by a deferred tax benefit resulting from the amortization of certain purchased intangibles assets. The tax expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 includes state income taxes accrued where we have operations.

We have not recorded a tax benefit for domestic tax losses because of the uncertainty of realization. We adhere to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Consistent with our past practice, we have recorded a full valuation allowance at June 30, 2006 as the realizeability of our net operating loss carry-forwards is not determinable.

2. Discontinued Operations

(Loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax

Twelve months ended June 30, 2006: Sale of Allume

On July 1, 2005, we sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Allume to Smith Micro for an aggregate sales price of $12.8 million made up as follows:

$

The fair value of the common stock was based on the five-trading-day average price of Smith Micro’s common stock surrounding the date the business combination was announced.

At closing an indemnity escrow was established to secure certain representations and warranties included in our stock purchase agreement with Smith Micro. The following sale proceeds were deposited into the escrow.

The value of the common stock was based on the date of closing.

On November 2, 2005, we replaced the shares of Smith Micro common stock in escrow with cash, as permitted by the escrow agreement.

On November 10, 2005, we sold 100% of our holdings of Smith Micro shares at a gain of $923,000 which was shown in Other Income as Realized Gain on Securities in the December quarter.

25

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, Smith Micro released $500,000 plus interest of $7,000 and $750,000 plus interest of $26,000 of the escrowed cash to us in December 2005 and March 2006, respectively. These amounts, when released, added to our calculation of gain or loss on the sale.

As a result of this sale, we have categorized the assets, liabilities and operations of Allume as discontinued operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 we recorded a gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $776,000 representing the amount released from escrow on March 31, 2006 plus accrued interest. The gain on the sale of Allume totaled $302,000 as of March 31, 2006. This gain calculation does not consider the remaining cash held in escrow of approximately $0.3 million and is subject to change in future reporting periods depending upon the future release of cash from escrow.
 
Twelve months ended June 30, 2006: Sale of Precision Design
 
On June 9, 2006 Broadcaster, Inc. (formerly, International Microcomputer Software, Inc.) sold substantially all of the assets used in the operation of the segment of our business referred to as the Precision Design Software Business. The assets were sold to IMSI Design, LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Purchaser") which was newly formed for the purpose of the acquisition.
 
In consideration for the transfer of the assets, the Purchaser paid $6,500,000 in cash, of which $500,000 was deposited in an escrow to back our representations and warranties in the sale Agreement, and the Purchaser delivered its promissory note, due July 3, 2006, in the principal amount of $1,500,000. In addition, the Purchaser assumed certain liabilities, and agreed to perform a number of contracts that were associated with the Precision Design Software Business.
 
As a result of this sale, we have categorized the assets, liabilities and operations of the Precision Design as discontinued operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and in the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 we recorded a gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $4,532,000. The gain on the sale of Allume for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $302,000.

Loss from discontinued operations totaling $2,796,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 represents the pre-tax net loss of IMSI Software Segment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
 
Broadcaster, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Broadcaster, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 consolidated financial position of Broadcaster, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BROADCASTER, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization, Operations and Liquidity
 
The Company was incorporated in California in November 1982. Broadcaster operates a subscription based internet entertainment network and promotes and sells house plans and other services to consumers and builders over the Internet. Prior to the disposal of the Precision Design business, the Company also developed and published CAD software and similar products targeted to small to medium-size businesses, professionals, and consumers. The Company’s strategy to reposition itself as an online business has been achieved via the acquisitions of AccessMedia Networks Inc (2006), Weinmaster Homes Ltd. (2005) and Houseplans Inc (2004), and by the divestiture of the Precision Design business (2006). As consideration for the sale of Precision Design, we received a combination of $6.5 million in cash and an interest free note of $1.5 million which was paid in full on July 3, 2006.  Included in the assets sold were the TurboCad and DesignCAD product lines as well as other design and personal productivity titles.
 
Historically, we have financed our working capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from short-term and long-term notes and bank borrowings, capitalized leases and sales of common stock. We may also seek additional equity and/or debt financing to sustain our growth strategy. However, we believe that we have sufficient funds to support our operations at least for the next twelve months, based on our current cash position, equity sources and borrowing capacity. We believe that we will be able to obtain any additional financing required on competitive terms. In addition, we will continue to seek opportunities and discussions with third parties concerning the sale or license of certain product lines and/or the sale or license of a portion of our assets.

To achieve our growth objectives, we are considering different strategies, including growth through mergers and/or acquisitions. As a result, we are evaluating and we will continue to evaluate other companies and businesses for potential synergies that would add value to our existing operations.

The forecast period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing may involve restrictive covenants.

We are subject to the risks associated with similar companies in a comparable stage of growth and expansion. These risks include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in operating results, seasonality, competition, dependence on key individuals, dependence on international operations, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, product concentration, and the ability to adequately finance its ongoing operations.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Broadcaster and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our principal operating subsidiaries were Houseplans as of June 30, 2005 and AccessMedia Networks Inc, Houseplans Inc and Weinmaster Homes Ltd as of June 30, 2006.
 
34

Use of Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (generally a purchase order), product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting account is probable.
 
 
·
Revenue from packaged product sales to resellers and end users is recorded at the time of the sale net of estimated returns.
 
·
Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized when the product sells through to retailers and end users. Sales to distributors permit limited rights of return according to the terms of the contract.
 
·
For software and content delivered via the Internet, revenue is recorded when the customer downloads the software, activates the subscription account or is shipped the content. For online media revenue when payment is collected
 
·
Revenue from post contract customer support (PCS) is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
·
Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
·
We use the residual method to recognize revenue when a license agreement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date.   If there is an undelivered element under the license arrangement, we defer revenue based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered element, as determined by the price charged when the element is sold separately. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, we defer all revenue until sufficient evidence exists or all elements have been delivered.
 
·
Non-refundable advanced payments received under license agreements with no defined terms are recognized as revenue when the customer accepts the delivered software.
 
·
Revenue from software licensed to developers, including amounts in excess of non-refundable advanced payments, is recorded as the developers ship products containing the licensed software.
 
·
Revenue from minimum guaranteed royalties in republishing agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Royalties in excess of the guaranteed minimums are recognized when collected.
 
·
Revenue from original equipment manufacturer (OEM) contracts is recognized upon completion of our contractual obligations.
 
·
Revenue related to the display of advertisements on its Internet properties as impressions (the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users) are delivered, as long as no significant obligations remain at the end of the period. To the extent that significant obligations remain at the end of the period, the Company defers recognition of the corresponding revenue until the remaining guaranteed amounts are achieved.
 
·
Revenue from the display of text-based links to the websites of its advertisers is recognized as the click-throughs (the number of times a user clicks on an advertiser's listing) occur.
 
35

Concentrations
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. At times, cash balances held at financial institutions are in excess of federally insured limits.
 
No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of our gross revenues in any period presented.
 
Royalty Agreements
 
We have entered into agreements whereby we are obligated to pay royalties on content published. We generally pay royalties based on a percentage of sales on respective products or on a fee per unit sold basis. We expense royalties as product costs during the period in which the related revenues are recorded.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2006, approximately $548,203 of our cash was held in foreign financial institutions for the benefit of our foreign subsidiaries.
 
Marketable Securities
 
Some of the excess funds not needed for current operations are used to invest in marketable securities. All investments in securities are bought and sold through a registered broker; and, held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Every month, we buy and sell security investments, thus continually changing our stock positions. Therefore, the investments in securities are classified as trading securities as defined in paragraph 12.a. of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (“FAS 115”). The unrealized holding gains and losses of these securities have been included in earnings in accordance with paragraph 13 of FAS 115.
 
Marketable securities are stated at fair value. Marketable securities maturing within one year that are classified as current assets. We carry all of our marketable securities at fair value. During the year ended June 30, 2006, all our holdings of marketable securities were liquidated.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and debt approximates carrying value due to the short maturity of such instruments.

As of June 30, 2006 we had no holdings of marketable securities. 
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, consisting primarily of CD-ROMs, manuals, packaging, freight in, production costs and packing supplies, are valued at the lower of cost or market and are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis. Management performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow moving and non-salable inventories, and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. We recognize all inventory reserves as a component of product costs. Following the discontinuance of the Precision Design business, the Company determined that any remaining inventory was obsolete.
 
36

 
Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of 3 to 5 years. Depreciation of software and computer equipment is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 3 years.
 
Software Development Costs and License Fees
 
Costs incurred in the initial design phase of software development are expensed as incurred in research and development. Once the point of technological feasibility is reached, direct production costs are capitalized in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. We cease capitalizing computer software costs when the product is available for general release to customers. Costs associated with acquired completed software are capitalized.
 
We amortize capitalized software development costs and visual content license fees on a product-by-product basis. The amortization for each product is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product or (b) 18, 36, or 60 months, depending on the product. Broadcaster evaluates the net realizable value of each software product at each balance sheet date and records write-downs to net realizable value for any products for which the carrying value is in excess of the estimated net realizable value.
 
Other Intangible Assets
 
Other intangible assets other than goodwill represent Internet domain names, acquired customer lists and contracts, distribution rights and relationships, trade names and trademarks and media content. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally five to thirty years.
 
Goodwill
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, goodwill is being assessed for impairment annually (in our first fiscal quarter) or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment. We have not recognized any impairment related to goodwill in either fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2005.
 
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
 
We review long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We assess these assets for impairment based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from these assets. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, a loss is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the fair value. We did not recognize any impairment loss for long-lived assets in either fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2005.
 
Advertising Costs
 
We expense advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising and related promotion expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were $1,234,000 and $950,000, respectively.
 
37

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach for financial reporting. We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The asset and liability accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at weighted average rates during the periods. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.
 
Stock Based Awards
 
We account for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, under which no compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements for employee stock arrangements when grants are made at fair market value. We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.
 
In February 2000, we canceled approximately 870,000 common stock options held by existing employees and replaced those options with new options with a revised expiration date. The canceled options had a weighted average exercise price of $3.51 per share, and the reissued options are exercisable at $0.75 per share. This cancellation and re-grant meets the definition of a re-pricing under FIN 44, and the reissued options are being accounted for as variable plan accounting. Under variable plan accounting, we recognize an expense or benefit equal to the per share change in the share value until the underlying option expires or is exercised. During fiscal year 2006 and 2005, we recognized a $5,000 benefit and a $0 expense respectively related to stock options.
 
Had compensation cost for the stock-based compensation plans been determined based upon the fair value at grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS 123, net income would have been charged the pro forma amounts indicated below. The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the related historical information and is not necessarily indicative of actual results.

Non-cash expenses for grants to non-employees were recorded at the time of options and warrant grants, and calculated using the Black-Scholes method of valuation. The non-cash expense for stock based compensation has been as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Postretirement Benefits - In Sptember 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards N0. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. SFAS 158 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS 158 will have on our financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements - In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 requires recognition of tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007. We are assessing the potential impact that the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on our financial statements.
 
39

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - In June 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154)”. SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statement”. SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate, and correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement”. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The implementation of SFAS 154 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Payment - revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”). The new pronouncement replaces the existing requirements under SFAS 123 and APB 25. According to SFAS 123(R), all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase plans, would be treated the same as any other form of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the Statement of Operations. This pronouncement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using APB No. 25 and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method. FASB concluded that, for small business issuers, SFAS 123(R) is effective for awards and stock options granted, modified or settled in cash in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123(R) provides transition alternatives for public companies to restate prior interim periods or prior years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on our Statement of Operations.
 
Reclassifications
 
The amounts reported for fiscal 2006 and 2005 present the results of operations for the Software segment as discontinued operations due to the sale of Precision Design on June 9, 2006.

Discontinued operations
 
Sale of Precision Design
 
In June, 2006, we sold Precision Design, our legacy software business as part of our overall strategy to position the company solely as an on-line business. We received a combination of $6.5 million in cash of which $0.5 million was deposited in an escrow to back our representations and warranties in the sale Agreement , and an interest free note of $1.5 million which was paid in full on July 3, 2006.  Included in the assets sold were the TurboCad and DesignCAD product lines as well as other design and personal productivity titles.
 
The sale of Precision Design is expected reduce our operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 by approximately $5 million. Additionally, our increased cash positions us to grow our Internet entertainment business and to take advantage of future opportunities.

Sale of Allume
 
On July 1, 2005, we sold 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Allume to Smith Micro Software, Inc. for $11 million cash and 397,547 unregistered shares of its common stock, having a market value (based on a ten day trading average covering $4.40) of $1.75 million. A portion of the purchase price, including $1.25 million cash and shares of common stock having a closing date market value of $750,000 was deposited in an indemnity escrow to secure certain representations and warranties included in the stock purchase agreement. At June 30th, 2006, an amount of $312,000 was still held in the indemnity escrow account. The gain on sale of Allume is approximately $302,000 but this is subject to change based upon the release of the remaining escrowed consideration.

As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, we sold ArtToday, Inc, our wholly-owned subsidiary based in Arizona, to Jupitermedia Corporation in June 2003.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 we recorded a gain of $2.0 million from the sale of discontinued operations representing the successful achievement of the third earn-out from the sale of ArtToday. The full amount of the $2.0 million was paid by Jupitermedia per the stock purchase agreement on August 15, 2005.

In addition, during the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2004, we recorded gains of $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively from the sale of discontinued operations representing the successful achievement of the first and second earn-outs from the sale of ArtToday to Jupitermedia Corporation in June 2003.

$2,499,000 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.

The following attributes of the combination of the WHL and Houseplans businesses were considered significant factors to the establishment of the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of goodwill:

WHL is the operator of the #2 Google ranked globalHouseplans.com website as well as the Canadian focused Weinmaster.com. WHL, one of the leading marketers of stock house plans in Canada, has operated its plans business in the United States and Canada for more than twenty-five years, and is one of the leading innovators in the market. In addition to more than 14,800 plans available to customers, which includes over 500 proprietary Weinmaster plans, WHL has an impressive array of content and tools to help homeowners and their builders economically build their dream homes. Potential operating synergies are anticipated to arise and are more likely to include sales growth from joint marketing programs, utilization of best practices developed in each organization, shared content and reduced common product development costs and limited reductions in administrative costs.

AccessMedia acquisition

On December 16, 2005, Broadcaster and AccessMedia entered into a definitive agreement whereby Broadcaster agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of AccessMedia. The acquisition was completed on June 1, 2006. Broadcaster accounted for the business combination as a purchase.
 
The purchase price of approximately $32.1 million was comprised as follows:

The calculation is based on the issuance of 29,000,000 shares of Broadcaster common stock to the shareholders of AccessMedia measured as of the date of the definitive merger agreement using a five-trading-day average price of Broadcaster’s common stock. The definitive merger agreement was announced on December 16, 2005.
 
The value of AccessMedia's net tangible and intangible assets are based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of the completion of the business combination. The estimated fair value is independent of the preliminary values historically recorded on the books and records of AccessMedia.

The residual purchase price of $25,901,000 has been recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The agreement provides that 35 million additional shares may be earned and awarded to the current stockholders of AccessMedia. Any additional shares earned would be a future addition to goodwill.
 
AccessMedia’s acquired technology includes certain additional products with market opportunities. These opportunities were significant contributing factors to the establishment of the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of a significant amount of goodwill. In addition, the acquisition provides an experienced workforce, development of certain technology assets permitting the company to deliver content to consumers over the Internet, existing business knowledge and practice supporting the proposed products and services, marketing programs and a base level of customers.

The reduction in interest expense for fiscal 2006 was mainly the result of a reduction in the interest we incurred on the acquisitions-related notes and interest incurred on our short term financing activities.

The increase in interest income during fiscal 2006 is primarily due to higher cash balances arising from operations and proceeds from the disposal of businesses.

Related Party Transactions
 
Note Receivable from Related Party - Digital Creative Development Corporation (“DCDC”) 15% Note
 
On January 31, 2005, we sold the DCDC 15% Note to Mag Multi Corp (Mag Multi), a New York corporation for $343,000, representing the principal balance and all accrued interest as of the date of the transfer. This amount was received in its entirety on February 10, 2005. The DCDC note was a 15% one-year note we received on September 18, 2003 from DCDC upon extending a loan to them in the amount of $350,000. This note was secured by 400,000 shares of Broadcaster’s stock held by DCDC and was originally due on September 18, 2004. The maturity of this note was subsequently extended to May 31, 2005 in exchange for a full payment of the then accrued interest, a payment of $25,000 against the principal amount and an increase in the collateral securing the note.

AccessMedia Networks, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, has an obligation amounting to approximately $1,725,000 under various promissory notes payable to Mr. Nolan Quan, a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting shares of common stock.  The promissory notes carry an annual interest rate of 4% and are collateralized by the assets of AccessMedia Networks, Inc.  The promissory notes are payable on demand at anytime.

Service Agreement with Alchemy Communications, Inc

Technology and Content Licensing Agreements
 
MyVod Inc., our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, has entered into various licensing agreements with Broadcaster LLC, in consideration of a one-time license fee of one dollar for each license.  The licenses provide certain key technologies, including digital rights management and content distribution systems, in connection with our AccessMedia business.  The licenses are nonexclusive and are granted in perpetuity.  However, we generally do not have the right to modify the licensed technologies used in our AccessMedia business, nor do we have the right to receive updates or upgrades or to obtain a copy of the source code for such technologies. Mr. Nolan Quan owns, either directly or indirectly, a 10% or greater ownership interest in Broadcaster LLC.
 
Consulting Agreements
 
On May 1, 2003, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Bruce Galloway, Chairman of our Board of Directors, to provide services to the Company related to potential acquisitions and divestitures. In return for his services, Mr. Galloway could be entitled to a fee from zero to $200,000 for each such transaction dependent on his involvement and the consideration received or paid by us as a result of the transactions. Mr. Galloway was not compensated under this agreement in fiscal year 2004 or 2005 or through December 31, 2005 in fiscal year 2006.

On December 12, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Galloway, to provide services to the Company related to investor introductions and relationships. In return for his services through June 30, 2006, Mr. Galloway was paid $10,000 a month.

We have agreed to reimburse Baytree for its reasonable expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, and to indemnify Baytree and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, relating to, or arising out of, its engagement. In addition, we agreed to pay to Baytree 1.0 million shares of our common stock upon consummation of the Merger. Over the past two years, we have not paid to Baytree any other fees for banking and related services. Mr Michael Gardner is the sole managing member of Baytree.

12.
Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.

50

The Company’s subsidiary Accessmedia Networks, Inc. was named as one of a number of co-defendants in a suit filed by the FTC in the Central District of California alleging a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act arising from products known as Movieland.com, Moviepass.TV, and Popcorn.net. A U.S. district court judge denied the FTC's request to issue a temporary restraining order. Trial on the merits of the case will be scheduled for a later time. Management believes the claims are without merit and the Company intends to defend the actions vigorously. While management believes there is no legal basis for liability, due to the uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, no reasonable estimate of loss is available. Accesmedia Networks, Inc was also named as one of a number of co-defendants in a suit filed by the Washington State Attorney General alleging violations of the Washington Spyware Act and Consumer Protection Act arising from products known as Movieland.com, Moviepass.TV, and Popcorn.net. The Company intends to vigorously defend the allegations. While management believes there is no legal basis for liability, due to the uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, no reasonable estimate of loss is available.

In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
 
13.
Employee Benefit Plan
 
We have a defined contribution plan, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for employees meeting certain service requirements. The plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to the annual maximum as defined by the Internal Revenue Service to include catch-up contribution for individuals age 50 or older. At the discretion of the board of directors, Broadcaster may also make contributions each year for the benefit of all eligible employees under the plan. Discretionary contributions for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $0 and $71,000, respectively.

14.
Employee Stock Incentive Plans and Equity Related Transactions
 
Stock Options
 
During fiscal 2004, we adopted a new stock option plan “The 2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan” (the “2004 Plan”). Our Board of Directors and shareholders adopted the predecessor to the 2004 Plan, the 1993 Incentive Option Plan on June 30, 1993 (the “1993 Plan”). The purpose of the 2004 and the 1993 Plans was to further the growth and general prosperity of Broadcaster by enabling our employees to acquire our common stock, increasing their personal involvement in the Company and thereby enabling Broadcaster to attract and retain our employees.
 
Under existing federal tax laws, certain benefits are not applicable to stock options granted under plans adopted more than ten years prior. In particular, options granted more than ten years after adoption of the 1993 Plan are not eligible for incentive stock option treatment within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Broadcaster believes that the ability to grant incentive stock options to its employees is critically important. We hope to offer incentive compensation to such employees on par with those provided by our competition and others in the high-tech industry. In addition, tax laws and incentive compensation policies have changed since adoption of the 1993 Plan. As a result, our Board of Directors has adopted and our shareholders approved the 2004 Plan to permit Broadcaster to offer a wide range of incentives, including incentive and non-statutory stock options and stock purchase rights.
 
51

 
The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,500,000 common shares to employees, directors and other service providers of Broadcaster. Any options that expire prior to exercise will become available for new grants from the “pool” of ungranted options. Options that are granted under the 2004 Plan may be either options that qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code (“Incentive Options”), or those that do not qualify as such incentive stock options (“Non-Qualified Incentive Options”).
 
The 2004 Incentive Options may not be granted at a purchase price less than the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of the grant (or, for an option granted to a person holding more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock, at less than 110% of fair market value) and Non-Qualified Incentive Options may not be granted at a purchase price less than 85% of fair market value on the date of grant.
 
The term of each option, under the 2004 plan, which is fixed at the date of grant, may not exceed ten years from the date the option is granted (by law, an Incentive Option granted to a person holding more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock may be exercisable only for five years). At June 30, 2006, 6,500,000options were available for future grants under the 2004 plan. The 6,500,000 shares were approved by Broadcaster shareholders at the Annual Meeting held in May 2006.
 
The 1993 Employee Incentive Plan, as amended, permitted us to grant options to purchase up to 2,925,000 shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants at prices not less than the fair market value at date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of fair market value for non-statutory stock options. These options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant and become exercisable ratably over a 3 to 5-year period. The plan expired on June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2006, no shares were available for future grants under the 1993 plan.

At June 30, 2006, Broadcaster had an operating loss carry forward of approximately $35,720,000 for federal tax purposes and approximately $12,707,000 for state tax purposes, which expire in various amounts through 2026.
 
 
Approximately $3,600,000 of the valuation allowance is related to deferred tax assets of acquired entities, and accordingly, any subsequently recognized tax benefits related to these assets will be allocated to reduce goodwill.
 
 
The federal net and state net operating losses begin to expire in 2119, and 2009 respectively. Use of the net operating losses may be limited in the event of an ownership change as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Management believes that there may be some limitation due to an ownership change during the year, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. We are currently in the process of quantifying such limitation.

Earnings per Share - Potentially Dilutive Securities
 
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon on exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the weighted average shares outstanding:

(1)
All options granted in the year ended June 30, 2006 were granted pursuant to our 2004 Stock Incentive Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”). These options, which typically have a four-year vesting period, become exercisable over time based on continuous employment with the Company, and, in certain cases, are subject to various performance criteria or vest in full immediately. As of the close of the merger with AccessMedia the 2004 Option Plan expanded by 6.5 Million shares.
 
 
(2)
All options in this table have exercise prices equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
 
 
(3)
Potential gains are net of exercise price, but before taxes associated with exercise. These amounts represent certain assumed rates of appreciation only, based on the SEC rules. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the common stock, overall market conditions and the option holder’s continued employment through the vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be achieved. If there is no appreciation, there is no potential realizable value.
 
 
(4)
Mr. Landies ceased to serve as our President effective February 28, 2006.
 
 
(5)
Mr. O’Callahan ceased to serve as our CFO effective as of June 15, 2006.

(b) During the Restricted Period:
 
(i) neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, (1) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Purchaser to leave the employ or contracting relationship with the Purchaser, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Purchaser and any employee or full-time independent contractor thereof, or (2) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier or other business relation of Purchaser to cease doing business with the Purchaser or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier or other business relation and Purchaser.
 
(ii) neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any employee (excluding the Precision Design Software Employees and Anne Verde) or independent contractor of Seller to leave the employ or contracting relationship with the Seller, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Seller and any employee or full-time independent contractor thereof.

5.11 Enforcement. The Parties agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of Section 5.10. Therefore, in the event of a breach of Section 5.10, Purchaser may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of Section 5.10. The provisions of Sections 5.10 and 5.11 are intended to be for the benefit of Purchaser and its respective successors and assigns, each of which may enforce such provisions and each of which (other than Purchaser) is an express third-party beneficiary of such provisions and this Agreement generally. Sections 5.10 and 5.11 will survive the Closing Date and continue in full force in accordance with their terms without limitation.

33

 
(b) Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to (1) the survival provisions set forth in Section 6.1, and (2) the other limitations set forth in this Article 6, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its respective Affiliates, successors and assigns (each, individually, a “Seller Indemnitee,” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Damages which Seller Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:
 
(i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

6.4 Indemnification Procedures.
 
(a) Notice of Third Party Claim. Any party making a claim for indemnification under Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) (the “Indemnified Party”) will notify the Party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it by a third party. Such notice will describe the claim, the amount thereof (to the extent then known and quantifiable), and the basis therefor, in each case to the extent known to the Indemnified Party. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) as the case may be, except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party.
 
(b) Assumption of Defense. With respect to any third party claim which gives rise or is alleged to give rise to a claim for indemnity under Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) and which involves only the payment of money damages to such third party, the Indemnifying Party, at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below), will be entitled to control and assume responsibility for the defense of such claim and to appoint a competent and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to act as lead counsel of such defense. Prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must first agree in writing to be liable for all related Damages notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6 and furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence which, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, establishes that the Indemnifying Party is and will be able to satisfy any such liability.
 
 
34

 
(c) Limits of Assumption of Defense. An Indemnifying Party’s rights under Section 6.4(b) will be subject to the following additional limitations:
 
(i) with respect to any claim the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has assumed, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, and the fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be borne by the Indemnified Party (except that the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense will be borne by the Indemnifying Party);
 
(ii) the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume (or retain, as applicable) control of such defense if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against the Indemnified Party, (B) the claim involves an amount greater than twice the Indemnity Cap, or an amount less than twice the amount of the Indemnity Deductible, (C) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith that, in light of any actual or potential conflict of interest, it would be inappropriate for legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party, (D) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes in good faith that an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects (or, in the case of a claim by a Purchaser Indemnitee, Seller’s reputation or business prospects), or (E) the Indemnifying Party fail to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim in good faith or fail to begin such prosecution or defense in a timely manner; and
 
(iii) if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party will obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such claim, if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim.
 
If the Indemnifying Party has the right to, but does not, assume control of the defense of any claim in accordance with this Section 6.4, then the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate (at its own expense) in the defense of such claim and at the Indemnifying Party’s request the Indemnified Party will consult in a reasonable manner with the Indemnifying Party in respect of such defense. As used in this Article 6, the term “settlement” refers to any settlement, compromise, consent or similar decree, or election to permit default judgment to be entered, in respect of any claim.
 
 
35

 
6.5 Indemnity Payments; Obligations. Any amounts owed by Seller pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall be satisfied by payment first, from the Escrow Account and, if depleted, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser. Any amounts owed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2(b) shall be satisfied by payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser.
 
6.6 Survival. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, this Article 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation.
 
6.7 Determination of Loss and Amount.

8.11 Judicial Interpretation. Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the Parties agree that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against one Party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Party which itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of each Party have participated in the preparation hereof.
 
8.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

Without limiting or waiving in any respect any rights or remedies of the Parties to this Agreement now or hereinafter existing at law or equity or by statute, each of the Parties hereto shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the obligations to be performed by the other in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Parties mutually agree that the Acquired Assets are unique and cannot readily be purchased on the open market and that Purchaser will be irreparably damaged in the absence of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a material breach by Seller under this Agreement, Purchaser’s rights, and the obligations of Seller, will, at Purchaser’s election, be enforceable by decree of specific performance. In such event of any Seller’s material breach, and if Purchaser pursues the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement: (a) Seller hereby agrees not to raise any defense or objection to Purchaser’s enforcement action on the grounds that Purchaser’s damage may be adequately compensated by money damages only, and (b) Purchaser will be entitled to such monetary damages for actual damages of a material nature incurred by Purchaser as a result of Seller’s breach of its respective representations, covenants, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement that cannot be, or have not been, cured through the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Purchaser’s right, if any, to specific performance shall not preclude Purchaser from pursuing any other remedy that may be available to it at law or in equity.

EX-10.10 3 broadcaster_10ksb-ex1010.htm FORM OF STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT Unassociated Document
 
Exhibit 10.10
 
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase Shares of Common Stock of
International Microcomputer Software, Inc.

 
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, __________, The Holder, or Holder’s transferee (the "Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or before, but in no case after, five (5) years from the date of this Warrant, to subscribe for and purchase, from International Microcomputer Software, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"), shares of the Company's Common Stock.
 
This Warrant is issued in connection with certain Agreement(s) (the "Agreement"), a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.
 
1. Number of Warrant Shares and Vesting.
 
This Warrant entitles the Holder to purchase up to the number of shares of the Common Stock of Company equal to ____________ shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Agreements. The Warrants shall vest as follows: __________.
 
2. Exercise Price.
 
The purchase price is the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on __________, which was $_____.
 
3. Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or before five (5) years from the date of this Warrant, by the surrender of this Warrant, a Notice of Exercise in the form attached as Exhibit B. If no registration statement is then in effect with respect to shares issuable on exercise of this warrant, the Investment Representation Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C duly executed at the office of the Company in Novato, California (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon payment of the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased (by cash or by check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company or by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, if any, at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased); whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased.
 

 
1

 
 
4. Conversion of Warrant (Cashless Exercise). In lieu of exercising this Warrant as described in Section 3, the registered holder hereof shall have the right to convert this warrant, in whole or in part, by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Conversion in the form attached as Exhibit D duly executed at the office of the Company, into shares of Common Stock of the Company, as provided in this Section 4. Upon exercise of this conversion right, the holder hereof shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A - B)(X)] by (A), where:
 
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock on the date of conversion of this Warrant.
 
B = the purchase price for one share of Common Stock under this Warrant.
 
X = the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is being converted.
 
If the above calculation results in a negative number, then no shares of Common Stock shall be issued or issuable upon conversion of this Warrant.
 
"Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock shall be the average closing price of such stock on the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date as of which such value is to be determined. 
 
5. Restrictions on Transfer.
 
(a) Permitted Transfers. This Warrant shall be freely transferable in whole or in part, subject to the limitations specified in this Section 5, provided that any such transfer shall be for not less than 10% of the amount of this Warrant.
 
(b) Investment Representation. The Holder agrees that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any securities issued on exercise of this Warrant except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Unless a registration statement is in effect, then upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall confirm in writing, by executing the form attached as Exhibit C hereto, that the securities purchased thereby are being acquired for investment solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other Person, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
 
 
2

 
 
(c) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of the Holder's counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or qualification under any applicable state securities laws of this Warrant or such shares, as the case may be, and indicating whether or not under the Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or such shares, as the case may be, to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the securities thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the aforesaid reasonably satisfactory opinion of counsel for the Holder or the security holder, as the case may be, such legend is not necessary in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
 
In the event Holder seeks an opinion from Holder's counsel as to transfer without registration, the Company shall provide such factual information to Holder's counsel as Holder's counsel may reasonably request for the purpose of rendering such opinion and such counsel may rely on the accuracy and completeness of such information in rendering such opinion.
 
(d) Procedure. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, Holder may transfer the Warrant on the books of the Company by surrendering to the Company: (i) this Warrant; (ii) a written Assignment, in the form attached as Exhibit E, naming the assignee and duly executed by Holder; and (iii) funds sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.
 
The company shall thereupon execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee specified in such instrument of assignment, and if the Warrant is transferred in part, the Company shall also execute and deliver in the name of the Holder a new Warrant covering the untransferred portion of the Warrant. Upon issuance of the new Warrant or Warrants, the Warrant surrendered for transfer shall be canceled by the Company.
 
(e) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses, and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issue, and delivery of any new Warrant under this Section 5.
 
6. No Rights as Shareholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to exercise.
 
7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.
 
 
3

 
8. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday.
 
9. Miscellaneous. This Warrant may be amended and any term of this Warrant may be waived only by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under the laws of the State of California and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of said state applied without reference to conflict of laws principles.

NOTICE OF EXERCISE
 
TO: International Microcomputer Software, Inc.
 
The undersigned hereby elects to purchase _______________ shares of Common Stock of International Microcomputer Software, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the attached Warrant, and tenders herewith payment of the purchase price in full, together with all applicable transfer taxes, if any.
 
(1) Please issue a certificate or certificates representing said shares of Common Stock in the name of the undersigned.

HOLDER:
 
COMPANY:
INTERNATIONAL MICROCOMPUTER SOFTWARE, INC.
 
SECURITY:
COMMON STOCK
 
AMOUNT:
 
DATE:
 
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Holder represents to the Company the following:
 
(a) Holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Holder is acquiring these Securities for investment for Holder's own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
 
(b) Holder acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Holder's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Holder understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Holder's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Holder further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Holder understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.
 
(c) Holder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
 
 
 

 
The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of certain conditions of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144, and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.
 
(d) Holder further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Holder understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

As discussed, we propose to undertake certain services on your behalf, to the extent requested by you, which shall consist of the following: (i) assisting you in analyzing the Company’s operations and future prospects both without the Transaction and pro forma for the Transaction; (ii) assisting you in conducting due diligence on AM; (iii) negotiating the financial aspects of the Transaction under your guidance; and (iv) reviewing and aiding in the preparation of all documentation related to the Transaction.
 
As compensation for the services to be provided by Baytree hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to Baytree five percent (5.0%) of the aggregate value of the consideration issued to AM at the Closing of the Transaction, with such consideration to be in the same form as that paid to AM. In addition, the Company agrees to pay to Baytree for ongoing consulting services one (1.0) million shares of the Company’s common stock with such consulting services to be rendered by Baytree through June 30, 2008. Further, upon the request of Baytree, the Company agrees to reimburse Baytree for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Baytree in connection with its engagement hereunder, whether or not a Transaction is consummated. As Baytree will be acting on your behalf, the Company agrees to the indemnification and other obligations set forth in Schedule I attached hereto, which Schedule is an integral part hereof.
 
The Company shall make available to Baytree all financial and other information concerning its business and operations that Baytree reasonably requests as well as any other information relating to the Transaction prepared by the Company or any of its other advisors. In performing its services hereunder, Baytree shall be entitled to rely without investigation upon all information that is available from public sources as well as all other information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Company or its advisors.
 
 
 

 
Any advice, written or oral, provided by Baytree pursuant to this Agreement will be treated by the Company as confidential, and will not be reproduced, summarized, described or referred to, or furnished to any other party, except in each case with our prior written consent.
 
This Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Baytree upon receipt of written notice to that effect by the other party. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Baytree will be entitled to prompt payment of all fees accrued prior to such termination, and reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses as described above. In addition, if at any time prior to twelve (12) months after the termination by the Company of this Agreement, the Transaction is consummated, Baytree will be entitled to payment in full of the compensation described above. The indemnity and other provisions contained in Schedule I will also remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.
 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that Baytree has been retained solely to provide the advice or services set forth in this Agreement. Baytree shall act as an independent contractor, and any duties of Baytree arising out of its engagement hereunder shall be owed solely to the Company.
 
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, Baytree, each Indemnified Person (as defined in Schedule I) and their respective successors and assigns.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
 
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement, including Schedule I, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
 
After reviewing this Agreement, please confirm that the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding by signing and returning to me the duplicate of this letter attached hereto, whereupon it shall be our binding Agreement.
 
 
Very truly yours,

SCHEDULE I
 
This Schedule I is a part of and is incorporated into that certain letter agreement (together, the “Agreement”), dated June 20, 2005, by and between International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (the “Company”) and Baytree Capital Associates, LLC (“Baytree”).
 
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Baytree and its affiliates (Baytree and each such entity or person, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any owes, claims, damages, costs and other liabilities (collectively “Liabilities”), and will reimburse each indemnified Person for all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Expenses”) as they are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, or (collectively, “Actions”), arising out of or in connection with advice or services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company will not be responsible for any Liabilities or Expenses of any Indemnified Person that are determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The reimbursement and indemnity obligations of the Company set forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of any Indemnified Person’s services under or in connection with, this Agreement.

EXHIBIT “A”
TO
BILLING SYSTEM SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
LICENSING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
MICRO BILLING SYSTEMS LIMITED
AND
CAMNATION, INC.
 
DATED: April 1, 2005
 

 
1. The Software is defined as follows:
 
BILLING SYSTEM SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
 
The Billing System Software platform was originally designed as a mechanism to invoice and bill customers for purchases made via the Internet. The Billing System software allows immediate access to an application or Website while securely requesting personal and payment information later. The system works by installing a software module on the consumer’s machine, which allows access to the application or Website that is being offered by the company that utilizes the Billing System solution. After a predetermined period of time or other billing trigger, the user is presented with an invoice and multiple payment options to satisfy the original invoice that they received. This system is effective because it offers a wide range of payment options including credit card, check, wire transfer, telephone, or various Internet payment systems. The system can also provide anonymity to the user by supporting billing mechanisms, which do not require personal information.

DIGITAL ASSET CREATION SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
LICENSING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
BROADCASTER, LLC
AND
MYVOD, INC.
 
DATED: April 1, 2005
 
1. The Software is defined as follows:
 
Digital Asset Creation Software Technology
 
With an ever growing demand for video on the Web, Digital Asset Creation (DAC) was created in order to provide a complete solution to anyone who has video and wants to publish it on the web, whether it is home made or the latest theatrical blockbuster. Through the use of Digital Asset Creation’s (DAC’s) proprietary suite of tools, a single video file is transformed into all of the assets needed to promote it on the Web including image galleries, Macromedia Flash, content streams, content downloads, and XML data files. Video can be provided to DAC in a variety of formats including, but not limited to, DV, HI-8, U-matic (3/4 inch), Beta Cam, VHS and DVD. Once the raw video is loaded into the system, a proprietary application is used to quickly and efficiently split the video into scenes at natural boundaries. The application also captures several different frames from each scene for use as still images. Technicians monitor the final scene selections and images and they can adjust or override the tool as needed. During this process, technicians enter data including title, actor, director, synopsis and description information into a database. Once this phase is complete, the images are automatically processed for such effects as watermarking, sharpening and color correction. Also, the scene files are used to produce short previews that are compatible with Macromedia Flash. Finally, the scene files are transformed into a variety of customer selectable output formats such as avi and wms with multiple bit-rates for each format.
 

 
 

 

EXHIBIT “B”

DATED: April 1, 2005
 
1. The Software is defined as follows:
 
DRM SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
 
DRM is short for Digital Rights Management, a system for protecting the copyrights of data circulated via the Internet or other digital media by enabling secure distribution and/or disabling illegal distribution of the data. The DRM software protects intellectual property by encrypting the data so that it can only be accessed by authorized users. The DRM Software technology provides secure DRM delivery of digital content. DRM is a set of standards and technologies that allows digital content to be distributed while also being protected, managed and tracked. DRM helps answer basic questions about the user’s rights to digital content, whether in the entertainment and publishing industries or in the corporate world, and provides technological means to offer and enforce the rights.
 
To provide the highest level of security for content provider’s media, Broadcaster has created a robust authentication and tracking system built around Microsoft’s industry standard DRM API. Building on top of Microsoft’s technology allows the greatest compatibility with existing Internet users and future upgradeability to more sophisticated DRM technologies.

Any breach of the Licensor’s Anti-Spam Policy may result in immediate termination of the Agreement.
 
B. DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING. All forms of deceptive or unfair advertising are strictly prohibited. The Software may not be used in any way, shape, or form to support deceptive advertising. Likewise, the Software may not be used in conjunction with deceptive advertising. Licensee, to be certain of compliance with the requirements of both state and federal advertising law, should obtain independent legal advice before engaging in any promotion. Use of the Software to support, or in conjunction with, deceptive or unfair advertising may result in immediate termination of the Agreement.

EXHIBIT “A”
TO
CONTENT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
LICENSING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
BROADCASTER, LLC
AND
MYVOD, INC.
 
DATED: April 1, 2005
 
1. The Software is defined as follows:
 
Content Management Software Technology
 
The Content Management Software Technology (CMS) was created to provide an easy and intuitive way to enter, manage, and publish articles consisting of various text and graphical elements. The CMS allows a contributor to log on with a unique username and password and contribute articles through a simple interface. In addition to text, the contributor may upload other media associated with this article including images, videos, 3rd party links, etc. When an article is ready for publication, the information is exported into an XML file with any related media (images, videos) and is ready for distribution via http upload, FTP, or RSS feed, and can be used by any XML compatible system. Furthermore, articles are categorized into various genres (Sports, Entertainment, etc.) allowing articles to be grouped together or excluded during publication based on the target interests of the website. The CMS utilizes a rights management system that restricts the access and abilities of logged in users to control and secure content. Using this system allows remote users to contribute over the web without needing any special access to servers or equipment. It also allows content to be accepted from anonymous or unknown sources. Once the media has been inserted into the system it awaits review by a user with editor abilities who is then capable of changing, deleting, or publishing the article.

 
 
 

 

EXHIBIT “B”
ANTI-SPAM POLICY
 
Licensee may use the Software in conjunction with any reasonable promotional tool, whether currently known or unknown, with the following exceptions:
 
A. SPAM. Licensee agrees not to perform any activity that is prohibited by the CAN-SPAM Act dealing with illegal distribution of Unsolicited Commercial Bulk Email (“UCBE”), commonly known as “spam.” No spamming of any kind may be employed as an advertising or promotional tool. Any breach of the Licensor’s Anti-Spam Policy may result in immediate termination of the Agreement.
 
B. DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING. All forms of deceptive or unfair advertising are strictly prohibited. The Software may not be used in any way, shape, or form to support deceptive advertising. Likewise, the Software may not be used in conjunction with deceptive advertising. Licensee, to be certain of compliance with the requirements of both state and federal advertising law, should obtain independent legal advice before engaging in any promotion. Use of the Software to support, or in conjunction with, deceptive or unfair advertising may result in immediate termination of the Agreement.

During the first year of employment, Executive will accrue vacation time off on a monthly basis at the rate of .833 days per month or ten (10) days per year. In the second and subsequent years, Executive will accrue vacation time off on a monthly basis at the rate of 1.25 days per month or fifteen (15) days per year. By virtue of past service with Accessmedia Networks, Inc. Executive has already accrued 6 days of vacation time at the signing of this agreement. Executive is ineligible to accrue vacation benefits while Executive is absent without pay including, but not limited to, unpaid leaves of absence. The purpose of vacation leave is, among other things, to provide time for recreation and relaxation. The Company encourages all of its employees to take accrued vacation leave each year. Accordingly, the maximum vacation Executive will be permitted to accrue is twenty-four (24) days or 192 hours. Once this cap on the accrual of vacation has been reached, no additional vacation leave will accrue until Executive has reduced the balance of unused vacation to less than twenty-four (24) days. Thereafter, vacation leave will accrue on a prospective basis as long as Executive’s total accrual remains under the cap. The Company reserves the right to compensate Executive for earned, unused vacation at any time in its sole discretion. In addition to vacation leave, Executive will be eligible to accrue six (6) days of sick leave a year.
 
7. HOLIDAYS. Executive shall be entitled to holidays with pay during each calendar year consistent with the holiday schedule applicable to management employees of the Company, generally.
 
8. COMPLIANCE WITH EMPLOYER’S RULES. The employment relationship between the parties shall be governed by the general employment policies and procedures of the Company, including (but not limited to) those relating to the protection of confidential information and assignment of inventions; provided, however, that when the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the Company’s general employment policies or procedures, this Agreement shall control. Executive agrees to abide by all of the Company’s policies and procedures in effect from time to time.
 
 
 

 
9. RETURN OF PROPERTY. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall deliver all property (including keys, records, notes, lists, data, memoranda, models, and equipment) that is in the Executive’s possession or under the Executive’s control which is the Company’s property or related to the Company’s business.
 
10. INDEMNIFICATION OF EXECUTIVE. The Company shall indemnify Executive against any direct losses incurred by Executive in the course of his duties to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.
 
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
 
11.1. Every notice or other communication required or contemplated by this Agreement by either party shall be delivered to the other party at the address set forth on the signature page below by: (i) personal delivery; (ii) postage prepaid, return receipt requested, registered or certified mail; (iii) internationally recognized express courier, such as Federal Express, UPS or DHL; or (iv) facsimile or email with a confirmation copy sent simultaneously by postal mail. Notice not given in writing shall be effective only if acknowledged in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party to whom it was given. Either party may change its or his address for notice from time to time by providing written notice in the manner set forth above.
 
11.2. Attorney Fees.  In the event that any action, suit or other proceeding at law or in equity is brought to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, or to obtain money damages for the breach thereof, and such action results in the award of a judgment for money damages or in the granting of any injunction in favor of the Company, then all reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including those incurred on appeal) of the Company in such action, suit or other proceeding shall (on demand of the Company) forthwith be paid by Executive.

11.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, and the terms set forth herein represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and Executive regarding compensation, employment, status and position. It is further understood that the Company’s policies, procedures and rules may be amended or changed at any time by the Company.
 
11.4. Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only if the amendment is made in writing and is signed by both parties. This Agreement cannot be altered in any way by any oral statement(s) made by Executive or the Company.
 
11.5. Severability. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision(s) of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid or enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
 
 
 

 
11.6. Waiver Of Contractual Right. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party’s right subsequently to enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement.
 
11.7. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
