1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
e.Digital Corporation is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. The Company markets the eVU™ mobile entertainment system for the travel industry and licenses and enforces its Flash-R™ portfolio of patents related to the use of flash memory in portable devices.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position at June 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2012 filed on Form 10-K.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company’s financial statements.
3. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities included outstanding stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. These securities were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods because they are antidilutive, but they could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. For the periods presented potential dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they had no effect or were antidilutive, but they could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods. There was no difference in basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share or basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the periods presented.
4. INVENTORIES
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of substantially all the Company’s inventory is determined by the weighted average cost method.

We also have finished goods that we have determined to be slow-moving and have classified this portion of inventory as a long-term asset.
Inventories consisted of the following:

Inventory, long term | 96,272 | 88,663 |
5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION COSTS
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee stock-based awards using a fair-value method and recording of related compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. Further, as required under ASC 718, the Company estimates forfeitures for stock-based awards that are not expected to vest. The Company recorded stock-based compensation in its consolidated statements of operations for the relevant periods as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, |
||||||||
2012 $ |
2011 $ |
|||||||
Research and development | 1,196 | 3,691 | ||||||
Selling and administrative | 3,889 | 33 | ||||||
Total stock-based compensation expense | 5,085 | 3,724 |
As of June 30, 2012 total estimated compensation cost of stock options granted but not yet vested was $15,300 and is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 0.90 years.
No stock options were granted during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
See Note 7 for further information on outstanding stock options.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounts receivable are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets. Accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. Effective April 1, 2008 the Company adopted and follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) which established a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs under ASC 820).
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC 280 Segment Reporting provides annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise’s business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographical areas and major customers. The Company has two operating segments: (1) products and services and (2) patent licensing. Products and services consist of sales of the Company’s electronic eVU mobile entertainment device and related content services and patent licensing consists of intellectual property revenues from the Flash-R patent portfolio.
Accounting policies for each of the operating segments are the same as on a consolidated basis.
Reportable segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

The Company does not have significant assets employed in the patent license segment and does not track capital expenditures or assets by reportable segment. Consequently it is not practicable to show this information.
Revenue by geographic region is determined based on the location of the Company’s direct customers or distributors for product sales and services. Patent license revenue is considered United States revenue as payments are for licenses for United States operations irrespective of the location of the licensee’s home domicile.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
Intellectual Property Litigation
In September 2007 and March 2008, the Company filed complaints against eight electronic product manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting that products made by the companies infringe four of the Company's U.S. patents covering the use of flash memory technology. These patents are part of the Company’s Flash-R patent portfolio. By September 30, 2009 the Company had licensed and settled the litigation with seven of the manufacturers and suspended the complaint against one defendant in bankruptcy.
In November 2009 the Company filed an additional patent infringement complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against nineteen companies that manufacture devices using flash memory. By March 31, 2012 the Company had licensed and settled the litigation with twelve of the defendants, suspended the claim against one defendant, and dismissed with prejudice the remaining six defendants, thereby ending the Colorado patent litigation case.
Although most fees, costs and expenses of intellectual property litigation are covered under the Company’s arrangement with Duane Morris LLP as described below, the Company may incur support and related expenses for this litigation that may become material.
Commitment Related to Intellectual Property Legal Services
On March 23, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement for legal services and a contingent fee arrangement with Duane Morris LLP. The agreement provides that Duane Morris is the Company’s legal counsel in connection with the assertion of the Company’s flash memory related patents against infringers (“Patent Enforcement Matters”).
Duane Morris has agreed to handle the Company’s Patent Enforcement Matters and certain related appeals on a contingent fee basis. Duane Morris also has agreed to advance certain costs and expenses including travel expenses, court costs and expert fees. The Company has agreed to pay Duane Morris a fee equal to 40% of any license or litigation recovery related to Patent Enforcement Matters, after recovery of expenses, and 50% of recovery if appeal is necessary.
In the event the Company is acquired or sold or elects to sell the covered patents or upon certain other corporate events or in the event the Company terminates the agreement for any reason, then Duane Morris shall be entitled to collect accrued costs and a fee equal to three times overall time and expenses accrued in connection with the agreement and a fee of 15% of a good faith estimate of the overall value of the covered patents. Any such corporate event or termination fee will only be recorded if and when such applicable event becomes probable. The Company has provided Duane Morris a lien and a security interest in the covered patents to secure its obligations under the agreement.
10 |
Facility Lease
In January 2012, the Company entered into a sixty-two month facility lease for its corporate office location, commencing May 1, 2012, for approximately 3,253 square feet at 16870 West Bernardo Drive, Suite 120, San Diego, California. The aggregate monthly payment is $4,879.50 excluding utilities and costs. The aggregate payments adjust annually with maximum payments increasing to $7,156.60 in the forty-ninth through sixty-second months. Future lease commitments at June 30, 2012 total $363,200. The Company recognizes rent expense by the straight-line method over the lease term. As of June 30, 2012, deferred rent totaled $6,694.
The facility lease for 4,800 square feet at 16770 West Bernardo Drive, San Diego, California, terminated April 30, 2012.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Sources of Supply
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company at June 30, 2012 had substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents at one financial institution in a non-interest bearing account, which pursuant to current rules is insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation through December 31, 2012. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash equivalents.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the number and nature of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their geographic dispersion. The Company has not incurred any significant credit related losses.
The Company relies on one third-party contract manufacturer to produce its eVU mobile entertainment product and generally relies on single suppliers for batteries, charging stations and other components. The Company also relies on one legal firm to represent it in patent licensing and enforcement matters.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Some of the Company’s product sales and services agreements include a limited indemnification provision for claims from third parties relating to the Company’s intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. The indemnification is generally limited to the amount paid by the customer. To date, there have been no claims under such indemnification provisions.
The Company provides a one-year limited warranty for most of its products.
11. INCOME TAXES
There is no provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as the Company currently estimates its effective tax rate to be zero due to uncertainty of income in future interim quarters of the current year and due to net operating loss carryforwards.
At June 30, 2012, the Company had deferred tax assets associated with federal net operating losses (“NOLs”), related state NOLs, foreign tax credits and certain Federal and California research and development tax credits, but recorded a corresponding full valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2012, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPANY'S FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED AND FROM HISTORICAL RESULTS DEPENDING UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW. SEE ALSO THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2012.
Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Statements
In addition to the other information in this report, the factors listed below should be considered in evaluating our business and prospects. This report contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere herein, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. In this report, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “future” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to consider the specific factors described below and not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof.
General
We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. We market our eVU mobile entertainment system for the travel industry and license and enforce our Flash-R portfolio of flash memory patents for use in portable devices produced by electronic product manufacturers. We also seek to expand our licensable intellectual property portfolio and in fiscal 2011 and 2012, filed seven new U.S. patent applications for technologies related to communication networks and digital data distribution.
With the inception of patent license revenue in September 2008, we determined that we have two operating segments: (1) products and services and (2) patent licensing and enforcement. Our products and services revenue is derived from the sale of eVU products and accessories to customers, warranty and technical support services and content integration fees and related services. Our patent licensing and enforcement revenue consists of intellectual property revenues from our Flash-R patent portfolio.
Our strategy is to market our eVU products and services to a growing base of U.S. and international companies for use in the airline and other travel industries. We employ direct sales and sales through value added resellers (VARs) that provide marketing, logistic and/or content services to corporate customers.
We are commercializing our Flash-R patent portfolio through licensing and we are aggressively pursuing enforcement by litigating against targeted parties that we believe are infringing our patents. The international law firm of Duane Morris LLP is handling our patent enforcement matters on a contingent fee basis. To date we have completed two rounds of patent infringement litigation and sought licenses from a total of 27 companies with 19 agreeing to license and settlement terms during the discovery stage of related litigation.
On June 28, 2011, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado issued an Opinion and Order Regarding Claim Construction following a January 28, 2011 Markman hearing (a proceeding under U.S. patent law where both sides present to the Court their arguments on how they believe patent terms should be construed). The Opinion construes claim terms in United States Patent 5,491,774 (the ‘774), one of the Company’s Flash-R patents, more narrowly than we had proposed. The Markman ruling could negatively affect future licensing prospects.
Our U.S. Patent No. 5,742,737 (the ‘737) is in the process of being reexamined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). A favorable determination from the reexamination could bolster our licensing efforts, and an unfavorable determination could adversely affect our ability to monetize our patent portfolio in 2013 and beyond. The ‘774 patent recently completed the reexamination process and we are currently waiting for the USPTO to issue the reexamination certificate.
While we expect to file future complaints against additional companies and license additional companies there can be no assurance of the timing or amounts of any related license revenue. We also are developing new intellectual property for possible licensing in the areas of communication networks and digital data distribution.

Our business is high risk in nature. There can be no assurance we can achieve sufficient eVU or patent license revenues to sustain profitability. We continue to be subject to the risks normally associated with introducing new products, services and technologies, including unforeseeable expenses, delays and complications. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that we can or will report operating profits in future periods.
Overall Performance and Trends
We focused significant efforts on developing, licensing and enforcing our patent portfolio during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. While we have settled and licensed with a total of nineteen defendants to date, there is a reluctance of patent infringers to negotiate and ultimately take a patent license without at least the threat of legal action. However, the majority of patent infringement contentions settle out of court, based on the strength of the patent claims, validity, and persuasive evidence and clarity that the patent is being infringed. Although we believe we have been successful in early licensing by demonstrating the strength, validity and clarity of our patent claims, future events including court rulings and patent reexamination results could have a significant positive or negative impact on future licensing activity. Last year’s Markman ruling could negatively affect licensing efforts and future licensing prospects.
Our eVU IFE business remained slow during the first quarter primarily due to increased competition and airline economics. We are unable to predict future sales levels in this market as orders have been and are expected to continue to be sporadic from both existing and new customers. We continue to pursue business in the airline and other markets for our eVU product line.
Management faces challenges for the remainder of fiscal 2013 to execute its plan to grow product and service revenues, license new intellectual property currently in development, and obtain Flash-R patent portfolio license fees. Last year’s Markman ruling could negatively affect future licensing prospects and future rulings from reexamination of the ‘737 by the USPTO could have a significant positive or negative impact on future licensing activity in 2013 and beyond. The failure to obtain additional patent license revenues or eVU orders or delays of orders or production delays could have a material adverse impact on our operations. Our patent licensing business is subject to significant uncertainties as to the timing and amount of future license revenues, if any. We may also face unanticipated technical or manufacturing obstacles and face warranty and other risks in our business.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 we recognized a net loss before income taxes of $332,983 compared to a net income before income taxes of $731,237 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Our revenues from products and services were $132,546 for the first three months of fiscal 2013 with $0 patent license revenue. This compares to $2,181,815 for the prior year’s first three months with $2,025,000 of patent license revenue reported. We reported reduced operating expenses totaling $369,062 in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $438,132 in the comparable period prior primarily due to reduced staffing costs and non-cash stock compensation expenses.
Our monthly cash operating costs average approximately $135,000 per month. However, we may increase expenditure levels in future periods to support and expand our revenue opportunities and continue advanced product and technology research and development. Our quarterly results are highly dependent on the timing and amount of licensing fees and accordingly quarterly results can vary dramatically from period to period. As a result of this and other factors, past results and expenditure levels may not be indicative of future quarters. We expect to incur losses in the future until product, service and/or licensing revenues are sufficient to sustain continued profitability
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements located in Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements,” and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012. The preparation of these financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventory valuation, intangible assets, financing operations, stock-based compensation, fair values, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
13 |
We believe that, of the significant accounting policies discussed in our consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments:
— | revenue recognition; | |||
— | stock-based compensation expense; and | |||
— | income taxes. |
Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. There were no significant changes or modification of our critical accounting policies and estimates involving management valuation adjustments affecting our results for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For further information on our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes
We reported a net loss before income taxes of $332,983 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a net income of $731,237 for the comparable period of the prior year due primarily to the lack of patent license settlements in the current year.
Revenues
Revenues decreased during first fiscal quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year due to no new license arrangements. We experienced reduced product and service revenues due to no significant new customers or product sales and reduced service revenues from ongoing customers. Our product revenues have been sporadic in part as a result of industry economics including the rapid consumer adoption of portable devices resulting in reduced IFE activity. Our service revenues declined and vary depending on repair and content services provided to a changing customer mix.
14 |
License fee revenues recognized fluctuate significantly from period to period primarily based on the following factors:
• | the dollar amount of agreements executed each period, which is primarily driven by the magnitude of infringement associated with a specific licensee; | |
• | the specific terms and conditions of agreements executed each period and the periods of infringement contemplated by the respective payments; and | |
• | fluctuations in the number of agreements executed. |
In the future the following additional factors could also impact revenue variability:
• | the effect of court and USPTO rulings and decisions; | |
• | fluctuations in the sales results or other royalty per unit activities of our licensees that impact the calculation of license fees due; | |
• | the timing of the receipt of periodic license fee payments and/or reports from licensees. |
We are pursuing new eVU business and targeting new patent licensees but our results will continue to be dependent on the timing and quantity of eVU orders and the timing and amount of future patent licensing arrangements, if any.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $36,079 or 28% of revenues. The gross profit on product and service revenues was 30%, comprised of a gross profit of 0% on product revenues, 30% on service revenue. There were no license revenues. The gross profit for the prior year’s first quarter was $1,169,369 or 54% of revenues. The gross profit on product and service revenues was 35% and the gross profit on patent licensing fees was 55% of license revenues. Gross profit margins are highly dependent on revenue mix, prices charged, volume of orders, and for periods with patent licensing revenues the amounts of contingency legal fees and costs.
Operating Expenses
Selling and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2012 declined by $25,888 compared to the same period in the year prior. The current period included a $5,085 expense for noncash stock-based compensation expense compared to $3,724 for the prior year’s first quarter. Reduced current period selling and administrative expenses relate primarily to lack of current year annual meeting costs, $41,591 spent in prior year and reduced consulting costs of $21,152.
Research and related expenses in the most recent quarter included $1,196 of noncash stock-based compensation costs compared to $3,691 in the prior year’s first quarter. Research and related expenses decreased by $43,182 primarily due to reduced legal fees of $39,823 related to patent reexamination. Research and related expenses can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the allocation of time spent by personnel who work on both revenue producing service and repair projects, on patent related costs and on internal research projects. Such expenses also vary based on decisions made regarding outside engineering and consulting.
Income (Loss)
The net loss was $332,983. The net income for the prior comparable first quarter was $731,237.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2012, we had working capital of $2,786,535 compared to a working capital of $3,120,672 at March 31, 2012. At June 30, 2012 we had cash on hand of $2,851,901.
Operating Activities
Cash used by operating activities was $273,448 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Cash used by operating activities included the net loss of $332,983 decreased by net non-cash expenses of $59,535. A major component providing operating cash was a reduction of $88,224 in accounts receivable. Major components reducing operating cash included a decrease of $42,808 in accrued and other liabilities and a decrease of $17,611 in accounts payable.
15 |
Cash provided by operating activities was $623,514 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Cash provided by operating activities included the net income of $731,237 increased by net non-cash expenses of $3,752. Major components also providing operating cash was a decrease of $36,575 in inventory and an increase of $547,451 in accounts payable and $372,705 of accrued and other liabilities. Major components reducing operating cash included a $1,064,560 increase in accounts receivable.
Our terms to customers vary but we often require payment prior to shipment of product and any such payments are recorded as deposits. Patent license payments are normally due at signing of the license or within 30-45 days of settlement or end of royalty reporting period.
Individual working capital components can change dramatically from period to period due to timing of licensing, sales and shipments and corresponding receivable, inventory and payable balances. Accordingly operating cash requirements vary significantly from period to period.
Investing Activities
The Company’s efforts are primarily on operations and currently we have no significant investing capital needs. We have no commitments requiring investment capital.
Financing Activities
There were no cash financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Debt and Other Commitments
We currently have no debt outstanding other than trade payables and accruals. At June 30, 2012 we had no significant purchase commitments for product and components.
We have future lease commitments on our current facility as more fully described in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our legal firm Duane Morris is handling some of our patent enforcement matters and certain related appeals on our Flash-R patent portfolio on a contingent fee basis. Duane Morris also has agreed to advance certain costs and expenses including travel expenses, court costs and expert fees. We have agreed to pay Duane Morris a fee equal to 40% of any license or litigation recovery related to patent enforcement matters, after recovery of expenses, and 50% of recovery if appeal is necessary.
In the event we are acquired or sold or elect to sell the covered patents or upon certain other corporate events or in the event we terminate the agreement for any reason, then Duane Morris shall be entitled to collect accrued costs and a fee equal to three times overall time and expenses accrued in connection with the agreement and a fee of 15% of a good faith estimate of the overall value of the covered patents. Duane Morris has a lien and a security interest in the covered patents to secure its obligations under the agreement.
The costs of the USPTO reexamination of certain claims of the Flash-R patents is not covered under our arrangement with Duane Morris and we have engaged separate counsel and will be required to pay such patent related costs which could continue to be significant.
Cash Requirements
Other than cash on hand and accounts receivable, we have no material unused sources of liquidity at this time. Based on our cash position at June 30, 2012 and current planned expenditures and level of operation, we believe we have sufficient capital resources for the next twelve months. Actual results could differ significantly from management plans. We believe we may be able to obtain additional funds from future patent licensing and eVU product sales and services but the timing of licenses and shipments and the amount and quantities of shipments, orders and reorders are subject to many factors and risks, many outside our control.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the relationship between the benefit of desired controls and procedures and the cost of implementing new controls and procedures.
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Intellectual Property Litigation
In September 2007 and March 2008, the Company filed complaints against eight electronic product manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting that products made by the companies infringe four of the Company's U.S. patents covering the use of flash memory technology. These patents are part of the Company’s Flash-R patent portfolio. By September 30, 2009 the Company had licensed and settled the litigation with seven of the manufacturers and suspended the complaint against one defendant in bankruptcy.
In November 2009 the Company filed an additional patent infringement complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against nineteen companies that manufacture devices using flash memory. By March 31, 2012 the Company had licensed and settled the litigation with twelve of the defendants, suspended the complaint against one defendant, and dismissed with prejudice the remaining six defendants, thereby ending the Colorado patent litigation case.
Although most fees, costs and expenses of intellectual property litigation are covered under the Company’s arrangement with Duane Morris LLP as described below, the Company may incur support and related expenses for this litigation that may become material.
