NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
On January 27, 2016, the Company changed its name from Viggle Inc. to DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. ("DraftDay"), and changed its ticker symbol from VGGL to DDAY. It now conducts business under the name DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DraftDay, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. ("DDGG"). The Company has
nine
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Function(x) Inc., Project Oda, Inc., Sports Hero Inc., Loyalize Inc., Viggle Media Inc., VX Acquisition Corp., Nextguide Inc., Wetpaint.com, Inc., and Choose Digital Inc., each a Delaware corporation. DraftDay owns approximately
49%
of the issued and outstanding common stock of DDGG, and also appoints a majority of the members of its Board of Directors.
On February 8, 2016, the Company completed the sale of assets related to the Company’s rewards business, including the Viggle App, in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Perk Agreement") with Perk.com, Inc. ("Perk") entered into on December 13, 2015. Management entered into this binding sales agreement following a strategic decision to divest the operations related to the Viggle App and place greater focus on its remaining businesses. The assets, liabilities and operations related to Loyalize Inc., and Nextguide Inc. (as well as the portion of the assets relating to our discontinued rewards business within the Company) have been classified as discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company's ability to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue development of its business and to generate revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. There is no assurance such equity and/or debt offerings will be successful and therefore there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
2. Lines of Business
The Company's Lines of Business
The Company conducts business through
3
operating segments:Wetpaint, Choose Digital, and DDGG. These operating segments are described below.
Through wetpaint.com, the Company reports original news stories and publishes information content covering top television shows, music, celebrities, entertainment news and fashion. Wetpaint publishes more than 55 new articles, videos and galleries each day. The Company generates revenues through wetpaint.com by displaying advertisements to wetpaint.com users as they view its content.
Choose Digital is a "white label" digital marketplace featuring a recent and wide range of digital content, including music, movies, TV shows, eBooks and audiobooks. The content is sourced from the world’s leading record companies and book publishers and an aggregator of movie and TV content. Choose Digital generates revenues when participants in Choose Digital's clients' loyalty programs redeem loyalty credits for digital content provided by Choose Digital. For example, if a participant in a loyalty program redeems credits for a song download provided by Choose Digital, the client loyalty program pays Choose Digital for the download.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, DDGG, made a recent investment in the DraftDay.com platform. Through DraftDay.com, users can draft a fantasy sports team within a salary cap, follow game action and reap rewards. DraftDay.com will continue to
offer high-quality entertainment to consumers as well as to businesses desiring turnkey solutions to new revenue streams. See Note 6, Acquisitions, for further details on this acquisition.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
nine
months ended
March 31, 2016
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2016.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value and primarily consists of money market funds that are readily convertible into cash. Restricted cash comprises amounts held in deposit that were required as collateral under leases of office space.
Marketable Securities
In February 2016, the Company received
1,370,000
shares of Perk's stock, which is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, as part of the consideration in the sale of assets described in the Perk Agreement. These securities are short-term marketable securities, which we have classified as “available-for-sale” securities. Pursuant to FASB ASC 320-10, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities” our marketable securities are marked to market on a quarterly basis, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as Other Comprehensive Income/Loss.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that the billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk associated with delinquent accounts. The Company also considers any changes to the financial condition of its customers and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of its receivables in the determination of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts as of
March 31, 2016
and June 30, 2015 was
$20
.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with domestic financial institutions of high credit quality. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of all of such institutions.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience with the customer, evaluation of their credit history, and review of the invoicing terms of the contract. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. Actual credit losses during the three months ended
March 31, 2016
and
March 31, 2015
were $
127
and $
0
.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of Perk marketable securities held is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis using the closing day share price of the last business day of the quarter. The changes to fair vlaue are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income/Loss. The carrying amount of Perk warrants held is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The changes to fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as current borrowing rates for the same, or similar issues, are the same as those that were given to the Company at the issuance of these loans.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment (consisting primarily of computers, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements) is recorded at historical cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure they are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment is as follows: computer equipment and software:
3
years; furniture and fixtures:
4
years; and leasehold improvements: the lesser of the lease term or life of the asset.
Goodwill and Certain Other Long-Lived Assets
As required by ASC 350,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
, the Company tests goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon occurrence of certain events. The annual goodwill impairment test is a two step process. First, the Company determines if the carrying value of its reporting unit exceeds fair value, which would indicate that goodwill may be impaired. If the Company then determines that goodwill may be impaired, it compares the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carry amount to determine if there is an impairment loss.
Historically, the Company had
one
reporting unit. However, in connection with the sale of a significant portion of the Company's assets (see Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Consolidation), the remaining operations were divided into
3
reporting units (see Note 4, Segments). The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to test the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units for goodwill impairment. The DDGG reporting unit was not tested for impairment at December 31, 2015 due to the fact that the acquisition of this entity occurred in September 2015. The Company determined that the fair value of each of the reporting units tested was significantly below its respective carrying value, indicating that goodwill related to the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units may be impaired. The Company determined the fair value of all long-lived assets other than goodwill related to each reporting unit and calculated the residual goodwill value for each. Upon comparing the residual goodwill values to the respective carrying values, the Company determined that there was an impairment loss on both the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units.
The Company recorded an impairment loss of $
2,095
related to the Choose Digital reporting unit and $
15,507
related to the Wetpaint reporting unit during the three months ended December 31, 2015. There were
no
impairments recorded during the three months ended
March 31, 2016
.
The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill in accordance with ASC 360, “
Property, Plant, and Equipment”
, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
At June 30, 2015, the Company determined that certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Choose Digital (see Note 6, Acquisitions for further detail regarding the Choose Digital acquisition) were impaired. Due to a shift in the Company's business operations and utilization of its resources, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 the Company determined that intangible assets related to customer relationships and trade name no longer had value. Therefore, such assets were written off as of June 30, 2015. The total amount of the write-off was
$2,086
.
At December 31, 2015, as described above, the Company determined that the fair value of the Choose Digital and Wetpaint reporting units tested was significantly below the respective carrying values and assessed the fair values of the long-lived assets other than goodwill for each reporting unit. Upon comparing the fair values of the long-lived assets to their respective carrying values, the Company recorded a loss of $
1,331
on intangible assets related to Choose Digital's software and licenses, and a loss of $
11,469
on intangible assets related to Wetpaint's technology, trademark, customer relationships and non-competition agreements, during the three months ended December 31, 2015.
No
impairments were recorded during the three months ended
March 31, 2016
.
Capitalized Software
The Company records amortization of acquired software on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.
In addition, the Company records and capitalizes internally generated computer software and, appropriately, certain internal costs have been capitalized in the amounts of $
0
and $
1,610
as of
March 31, 2016
and June 30, 2015, respectively, in accordance with ASC 350-40
"Internal-use Software"
. At the time software is placed into service, the Company records amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. The change in capitalized software is due to impairment of long-term assets related to the Choose Digital and Wetpaint businesses described earlier, as well as the abandonment of certain technology as of January 1, 2016, and internal development costs.
Deferred Rent
The Company is party to a lease for office space for its corporate office, and as part of the agreement the landlord provided a rent abatement for the first
10 months
of the lease. In 2014, the Company entered into
two
lease agreements for its satellite offices which provided for tenant improvement work sponsored by the landlords. The abatement and landlord sponsored improvements have been accounted for as a reduction of rental expense over the life of the lease. The Company accounts for rental expense on a straight line basis over the entire term of the lease. Deferred rent is equal to the cumulative timing difference between actual rent payments and recognized rental expense. On November 20, 2015, the Company terminated one of the lease agreements which provided for tenant improvement. The Company wrote off the remaining leasehold improvement and deferred rent balances during the three months ended
March 31, 2016
, and the write-off of
$2
was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. For all revenue transactions, the Company considers a signed agreement, a binding insertion order or other similar documentation to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement.
Advertising Revenue: the Company generates advertising revenue primarily from display and video advertising, which is typically sold on a cost-per-thousand impressions, or CPM basis, and completed engagements on a cost per engagement, or CPE basis. Advertising campaigns typically range from
1
to
12
months, and advertisers generally pay the Company based on a minimum of delivered impressions or the satisfaction of other criteria, such as click-throughs.
Deferred Revenue: deferred revenue consists principally of both prepaid but unrecognized revenue and advertising fees received or billed in advance of the delivery or completion of the delivery of services. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the services are provided and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Barter Revenue: barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising or programming for advertising, merchandise or services. Barter transactions which exchange advertising for advertising are accounted for in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-17 "Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions" (ASC Topic 605-20-25). Such transactions are recorded at the fair value of the advertising provided based on the Company's own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising from buyers unrelated to the counter party in the barter transactions. Barter transactions which exchange advertising or programming for merchandise or services are recorded at the monetary value of the revenue expected to be realized from the ultimate disposition of merchandise or services.
The Company recognized barter revenue and barter expense in the amount of $
4
and $
428
for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2016
, respectively, and $
28
and $
390
for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2015
, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation - Stock Compensation
. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants issued. Stock-based awards issued to date are comprised of both restricted stock awards (RSUs) and employee stock options.
Marketing
Marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing expense for the Company for the
three and nine
months ended
March 31, 2016
was
$76
and
$556
, respectively, including barter expense. Marketing expense for the Company for the
three and nine
months ended
March 31, 2015
was $
118
and $
657
, respectively, including barter expense.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740,
Income Taxes
. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.
Comprehensive Loss
In accordance with ASC 220 Comprehensive Income, the Company reports by major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income consists of net income (loss), accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). The Company’s comprehensive loss for all periods presented is related to the effect of unrealized gain on available for sale marketable securities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, among others, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, net realizable values on long-lived assets, certain accrued expense accounts, and estimates related to stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, there have been no significant changes related to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09,
Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU
2016-09"). This update is intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affects all organizations
that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award
transactions are simplified, including:(a)income tax consequences;(b)classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and(c) classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its financial statements.
In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02
requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a
lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a
right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease
term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements.
In January 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments- Overall: Recognition
and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). Additionally, it requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Lastly, the standard eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, “Income taxes: Balance Sheet Classification
of Deferred Taxes Business” (“ASU 2015-17”). Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires an entity to separate deferred income tax
liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax liabilities
and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-17 on its financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2015-16,
Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments
("ASU 2015-16"). This standard requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the ASU 2015-16 require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (July 1, 2017 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2015-16 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
4. Segments
Historically, the Company had
one
operating segment. However, in connection with the sale of the Viggle rewards business (discontinued operations) to Perk in February 2016, which represents a significant portion of the Company's assets and revenues, the Company's remaining operations were divided into
3
operating segments, as described below. These segments offer different products and services and are currently presented separately in internal management reports, and managed separately.
|
|
•
|
Wetpaint: a media channel reporting original news stories and publishing information content covering top television shows, music, celebrities, entertainment news and fashion.
|
|
|
•
|
Choose Digital: a business-to-business platform for delivering digital content.
|
|
|
•
|
DDGG: a business-to-business operator of daily fantasy sports.
|
The accounting policies followed by the segments are described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The operating segments of the Company include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that management has determined are specifically or primarily identifiable to each segment, as well as direct and indirect costs that are attributable to the operations of each segment. These direct costs are the operational costs that are administered by the Company following the shared services concept. Indirect costs are the costs of support functions that are provided on a centralized or geographic basis by the Company,
which include, but are not limited to, finance, human resources, benefits administration, procurement support, information technology, legal, corporate strategy, corporate governance and other professional services and general commercial support functions.
Central support costs have been allocated to each operating segment based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification is not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method (primarily based on net sales or direct payroll costs), depending on the nature of the services received. Management considers that such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis, but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the operating segments had been operated on a stand-alone basis for the periods presented.
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on unit profit after tax, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is our CEO. Business unit profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the success of each business and determining the going forward strategy for the Company as a whole.

6. Acquisitions
Acquisition of Choose Digital
On June 24, 2014, the Company acquired Choose Digital Inc. ("Choose Digital"), a Miami, Florida based, digital marketplace platform that allows companies to incorporate digital content into existing rewards and loyalty programs in support of marketing and sales initiatives.
In connection with the Company's acquisition of Choose Digital, the Company was required to make a contingent payment, which was due within
five
business days after June 24, 2015, of
$4,792
. Such amount was accrued in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2015. On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with AmossyKlein Family Holdings, LLP ("AmossyKlein"), as representative of the former shareholders of Choose Digital Inc. (the “Stockholders”). The Forbearance Agreement provides that the Company will make monthly installment payments to the Stockholders, beginning on July 31, 2015 and ending on January 29, 2016. Specifically, the Company agreed to pay
$668
on July 31, 2015;
$532
on August 31, 2015;
$528
on September 30, 2015;
$524
on October 31, 2015;
$521
on November 30, 2015;
$517
on December 31, 2015; and
$1,754
on January 29, 2016. The scheduled payments include
$170
of interest and
$82
of legal fee charges. The Company agreed to deliver an affidavit of confession of judgment to be held in escrow by AmossyKlein’s counsel in the event the Company does not make such installment payments. The Company made the installment payments through December 2015, but failed to make the payment due on January 29, 2016. On May 12, 2016. the Company and AmossyKlein entered into an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement to provide for the payment of the remaining
$1,754
(see Note 16, Subsequent Events). The balance of the contingent payment at
March 31, 2016
was
$1,754
, including interest of $
12
. Since January 1, 2016 and through March 31, 2016, the Company has recorded additional interest of $
26
.
Acquisition of DraftDay.com
On September 8, 2015, the Company and its newly created subsidiary DDGG entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT Capital”) and MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the assets of the DraftDay.com business (the “DraftDay Business”) from MGT Capital and MGT Sports. In exchange for the acquisition of the DraftDay Business, the Company paid MGT Sports the following: (a)
1,269,342
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value
$0.001
per share (“Common Stock”), (b) a promissory note in the amount of
$234
due September 29, 2015, (c) a promissory note in the amount of
$1,875
due March 8, 2016, and (d)
2,550,000
shares of common stock of DDGG. In addition, in exchange for providing certain transitional services, DDGG will issue to MGT Sports a warrant to purchase
1,500,000
shares of DDGG common stock at an exercise price of
$0.40
per share.
In addition, in exchange for the release of various liens and encumbrances, the Company also agreed to issue to third parties: (a)
84,633
shares of its Common Stock, (b) a promissory note in the amount of
$16
due September 29, 2015 and (c) a promissory note in the amount of
$125
due March 8, 2016, and DDGG issued: (i)
150,000
shares of its common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase
350,000
shares of DDGG common stock at
$0.40
per share.
Accordingly, the Company issued a total of
1,353,975
shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of the DraftDay Business.
The Company contributed the assets of the DraftDay Business to DDGG, such that the Company now owns a total of
11,250,000
shares of DDGG common stock.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of MGT Capital and MGT Sports. In addition, on September 8, 2015, DDGG entered into an agreement with Sportech Racing, LLC (“Sportech”) pursuant to which Sportech agreed to provide certain management services to DDGG in exchange for
9,000,000
shares of DDGG common stock.
As a result of the transactions described above, the Company owns a total of
11,250,000
shares of DDGG common stock, Sportech Inc., an affiliate of Sportech, owns
9,000,000
shares of DDGG common stock, MGT Sports owns
2,550,000
shares of DDGG common stock and an additional third party owns
150,000
shares of DDGG common stock. On September 8, 2015, the various stockholders of DDGG entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”). The Stockholders Agreement provides that all stockholders will vote their shares of DDGG common stock for a Board comprised of
three
members,
two
of which will be designated by the Company and
one
of which will be designated by Sportech. As such, the operations of the DraftDay business will be consolidated with the Company's operations from the acquisition date of September 8, 2015 (see Note 11, Stockholders' Equity, for a discussion on non-controlling interest related to the portion of the DraftDay Business that the Company does not own). Mr. Sillerman will serve as the Chairman of DDGG. The Stockholders Agreement also provides customary rights of first refusal for the various stockholders, as well as customary co-sale, drag along and preemptive rights.
In the aggregate, as a result of the transactions described herein, the Company issued promissory notes in the principal amount of
$250
due and paid on September 29, 2015 and in the aggregate principal amount of
$2,000
due March 8, 2016. The Company was not able to make the payment at the due date and on March 24, 2016 converted $
824
of the promissory notes to common stock and $
110
of the promissory notes to a Series D Preferred Stock (see Note 11, Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)). All such notes bear interest at a rate of
5%
per annum.
This acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805,
Business Combinations
. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition closing date. The assets of the DraftDay Business have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable utilizing information currently available. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results. The Company has performed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price allocated to goodwill. The Company has not completed the analysis of certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including, but not limited to, other identifiable intangible assets such as customer lists and technology. However, the Company is continuing its review of these items during the measurement period, and further changes to the preliminary allocation will be recognized as the valuations are finalized. Such valuations are being conducted by a third party valuation expert using Level 3 inputs as described in ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The operations of this acquisition are not material, and thus, pro forma disclosure are not presented. Goodwill related to the acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Line of Credit Promissory Note
On October 24, 2014, the Company and SIC III, a company affiliated with Mr. Sillerman, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which SIC III agreed to purchase certain securities issued by the Company for a total of
$30,000
. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Note”), which provides for a
$20,000
line of credit to the Company (see Note 11, Stockholders' Equity, for a discussion of the remaining
$10,000
of the Securities Purchase Agreement). The Company also agreed to issue to SIC III warrants to purchase
1,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued warrants to purchase
50,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for every
$1,000
advanced under the Note. The warrants will be issued in proportion to the amounts the Company draws under the Note. The exercise price of the warrants will be
10%
above the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date prior to the issuance of the warrants. Exercise of the warrants was subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders, which occurred on January 13, 2015.
The Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Note from time to time. The Note bears interest at a rate of
12%
per annum, payable in cash on a quarterly basis. The Note matures on October 24, 2017. On October 24, 2014, SIC III made an initial advance under the Note in the principal amount of
$4,500
. On December 15, 2014, SIC III made an additional advance in the principal amount of
$15,500
pursuant to the terms of the Note (the proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under the DB Line, as discussed above). As of
March 31, 2016
, the total outstanding principal amount of the Note was
$20,000
. The Note provides for a
3%
discount, such that the amount advanced by SIC III was
3%
less than the associated principal amount of the advances. Therefore, the net amount actually outstanding under the Note at
March 31, 2016
, was
$19,666
, which includes accretion of the discount of
$266
(the
3%
discount of
$600
is being accreted to the principal balance over the life of the Note). From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to
17%
per annum.
In connection with the first drawdown of
$4,500
under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase
225,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of
$3.51
, representing a price equal to
10%
above the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to issuance. In connection with the additional drawdown of
$15,500
under the Note, the Company issued SIC III warrants to purchase
775,000
shares of the Company's common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of
$3.63
, representing a price equal to
10%
above the closing price of the Companys common stock on the day prior to issuance. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of
five
years from issuance. Stock compensation expense related to the issuances of warrants to SIC III was
$2,049
during the year ended June 30, 2015.
The Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.
The Note also contains certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the Note is outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holder of the Note, (i) make any loan or advance in excess of
$500
to any officer, director, employee of affiliate of the Company (except advances and similar expenditures : (a) under the terms of employee stock or option plans approved by the Board of Directors, (b) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice or (c) to its subsidiaries), (ii) incur any indebtedness that exceeds
$1,000
in the aggregate other than indebtedness outstanding under the Note, (iii) guaranty any indebtedness of any unaffiliated third party, (iv) change the principal business of the Company or exit the Company's current business, provided that the foregoing is subject to the Board's compliance with its fiduciary duties, (v) sell, assign, or license material technology or intellectual property of the Company except (a) in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, (b) sales and assignments thereof in any
12
month period that do not have a fair market value in excess of
$500
or (c) in connection with a change of control transaction, (vi) enter into any corporate strategic relationship involving the payment, contribution or assignment by the Company of its assets that have a fair market value in excess of
$1,000
or (vii) liquidate or dissolve the Company or wind up the business of the Company, except in connection with changes of control or merger, acquisition or similar transactions or as approved by the Company’s Board in compliance with their fiduciary duties.
Interest expense on the Note was
$607
and $
1,834
for the
three and nine
months ended
March 31, 2016
, respectively, and $
593
and $
785
for the

months ended
March 31, 2015
, respectively.
In connection with the Company's entering into the Perk Credit Agreement (as defined below), SIC III agreed to subordinate payment of the Note to amounts owed to Perk under the Perk Credit Agreement. SIC III also consented to the consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Perk, which required SIC III's consent. In exchange for such consent and such agreement to subordinate, the Company agreed to provide SIC III a security interest in the assets of the Company in connection with amounts outstanding under the Note.
The Company entered into a Security Agreement with SIC III, pursuant to which the Company pledged its assets in connection with such security interest. The foregoing descriptions of the Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Security Agreement.

7,000
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for a purchase price of
$7,000
. The Company used the
$7,000
proceeds from the sale of
7,000
shares of Series C Convertible Stock to repay
$7,000
in principal amount of the Loans. In addition, the Company used
$798
of the proceeds of the Loan on March 16, 2015 to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans. On June 1, 2015, the Company repaid an additional
$5,000
in principal amount of the Loans. On July 1, 2015, the Company repaid the remaining

Line of Credit Grid Note
On June 11, 2015, the Company and Sillerman Investment Company IV, LLC ("SIC IV") entered into a Line of Credit Grid Note (the "Grid Note"). The Grid Note provides a right for the Company to request advances under the Grid Note from time to time in an aggregate amount of up to
$10,000
. The Grid Note bears interest at a rate of
12%
per annum, payable in cash on the maturity of the Grid Note. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under the Grid Note, the interest rate is automatically increased to
14%
per annum.
The Grid Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company.
In order for the Company to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, the Company must have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1, unless SIC IV waives this requirement. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing: (a) the Company’s net income for the measurement period, plus the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the Company’s tax expense for the measurement period, by (b) the Company’s interest expense for the measurement period, plus the amount of interest expense that would be payable on the amount of the requested draw for the
twelve
months following the request for the advance. The measurement period is the twelve months ended as of the last day of the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the request for the advance. The Company currently does not have an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than
1
, so advances would require the SIC IV to waive this requirement. In addition, in order to make requests for advances under the Grid Note, there can be no event of default under the Note at the time of the request for an advance, including that there has been no material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.
The Company made requests for advances under the Grid Note, and SIC IV made advances to the Company as follows:

On July 1, 2015, the Company repaid
$1,425
of the Grid Note.
On December 3, 2015, the Company and SIC IV entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which SIC IV subscribed for
8,750,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $
0.47
per share. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for such shares was $
4,112
.
The Company and SIC IV agreed that SIC IV would pay the purchase price for such shares by reducing the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit. As of December 3, 2015, there was $
8,675
in outstanding principal amount under the Line of Credit.
Accordingly, the principal amount of the Line of Credit was therefore reduced to $
4,563
.
Therefore, the outstanding balance of the Grid Note at
March 31, 2016
was
$4,563
.
The Grid Note matures on the first to occur of: (a) 12/31/2016 or (b) upon a “Change of Control Transaction.” A “Change of Control Transaction” includes (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) the issuance by the Company of common stock that results in any “person” or “group” becoming the “beneficial owner” of a majority of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (other than as a result of, or in connection with, any merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving entity following the consummation thereof), excluding transactions with affiliates of the Company.
If an event of default occurs under the Grid Note, SIC IV has the right to require the Company to repay all or any portion of the Grid Note. An event of default is deemed to have occurred on: (i) the non-payment of any of the amounts due under the Grid Note within
five
(5) Business Days after the date such payment is due and payable; (ii) dissolution or liquidation, as applicable, of the Company; (iii) various bankruptcy or insolvency events shall have occurred, (iv) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate the Company makes to Lender under the Note hereto; (v) the Company contests, disputes or challenges in any manner, whether in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, the validity or enforceability of any material provision in the Grid Note; or (vi) a material adverse change in the business plan or prospects of the Company in the reasonable opinion of SIC IV.
Interest expense on the Grid Note for the
three and nine
months ended
March 31, 2016
was
$138
and $
435
, respectively.
In connection with the Company's entering into the Perk Credit Agreement (as defined below), SIC IV agreed to subordinate payment of the Grid Note to amounts owed to Perk under the Perk Credit Agreement. SIC IV also consented to the consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Perk. In exchange for such consent and such agreement to subordinate, the Company agreed to provide SIC IV a security interest in the assets of the Company in connection with amounts outstanding under the Grid Note.
The Company entered into a Security Agreement with SIC IV , pursuant to which the Company pledged its assets in connection with such security interest. The foregoing descriptions of the Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Security Agreement.

On December 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Perk pursuant to which Perk provided a $
1,000
line of credit to the Company (the “Perk Credit Agreement”). The Perk Credit Agreement provided for drawdowns pursuant to which Perk made advances to the Company, which totaled $
1,000
. The first advance in the amount of $
667
was made on December 14, 2015. The final drawdown of $
333
was made when the Information Statement relating to the transaction was filed with the SEC, which occurred on December 23, 2015. Amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement bore interest at
12%
per annum, with an additional
12%
if the Company was in default of its obligations under the Perk Credit Agreement. Amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement were repaid on February 8, 2016 upon the closing of the sale of the Viggle assets to Perk. The Company was entitled to elect to repay all amounts outstanding pursuant to the Perk Credit Agreement by reducing the number of the shares of Perk common stock payable upon closing of the sale of the Viggle assets to Perk by
130,000
shares. The Company elected to so reduce the number of shares issuable to the Company at the closing of the asset sale transaction. Therefore, Perk agreed to deliver to the Company at closing
1,370,000
shares of Perk common stock, rather than
1,500,000
shares, and in return the amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement were deemed repaid in full.
Therefore, the outstanding balance of the loan from Perk was $
0
at
March 31, 2016
.
No
interest expense was recorded by the Company for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2016
.
In connection with the Perk Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company provided Perk with a security interest in its assets to secure repayment of amounts outstanding under the Perk Credit Agreement. As the amounts payable under the Perk Credit Agreement have now been settled in full, the Security Agreement has been terminated.

The Company is accounting for these options at fair market value of the options on the date of grant, with the value being recognized over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of comparable companies' stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rates. Options generally have an expiration of
10 years
and vest over a period of
3
or
4 years
. There were
235,333
and
310,335
options granted during the
nine
months ended
March 31, 2016
and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the options granted during the

were estimated based on the following weighted average assumptions:

months ended
March 31, 2016
and 2015, respectively. As of
March 31, 2016
, there was approximately $
185
of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which will generally be recognized over a
four
year period.
13. Income Taxes
For the
nine
months ended
March 31, 2016
and 2015, the Company did not record an income tax benefit because it has incurred taxable losses and has no history of generating taxable income and therefore the Company cannot presently anticipate the realization of a tax benefit on its Net Operating Loss carryforward. At
March 31, 2016
the Company has a Net Operating Loss carryforward of approximately
$182,000
, which will begin to expire in 2030.
The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through its income tax expense.
The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.
14. Related Party Transactions
Shared Services Agreements
In an effort to economize on costs and be efficient in its use of resources, the Company entered into a shared services agreement with Circle Entertainment Inc. (“Circle”) as of February 15, 2011, pursuant to which it shares costs for legal and administrative services in support of Mitchell J. Nelson, its then-General Counsel and General Counsel to Circle. The shared services agreement provides, in general, for sharing of the applicable support provided by either company to Mr. Nelson in connection with his capacity as General Counsel. The Company is responsible for advancing the salary to legal and administrative personnel supporting Mr. Nelson for both companies and will be reimbursed by Circle for such salary and benefits (but not for any bonus, option or restricted share grant made by either company, which will be the responsibility of the company making such bonus, option or restricted
share grant). The agreement provides for the Chief Executive Officer or President of each Company to meet periodically to assess whether the services have been satisfactorily performed and to discuss whether the allocation has been fair. The Audit Committee of each company's Board of Directors will then review and, if appropriate, approve the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances. Because this transaction is subject to certain rules regarding “affiliate” transactions, the Audit Committee and a majority of the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors have approved the shared services agreement. This is deemed to be an affiliate transaction because Mr. Sillerman is the former Chairman, a Board member, and a greater than
10%
stockholder of Circle and Mr. Nelson is Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Circle. For the
nine
months ended
March 31, 2016
and 2015, the Company billed Circle
$14
and
$20
, respectively. Such billings primarily relate to support consisting of legal and administrative services. These services are to be reviewed and, if appropriate, approved by Circle's Audit Committee and the Company's Audit Committee. The balance due from Circle as of
March 31, 2016
and June 30, 2015 was
$0
and
$113
, respectively. The Company wrote-off the accounts receivable balance of
$127
in the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the write-off appears as a bad debt expense on the consolidated statements of operation.
The parties terminated the Circle Shared Services Agreement effective as of January 1, 2016. Circle is in the process of liquidation and any claim to be made under the Circle Shared Services Agreement will survive the termination of the Circle Shared Services Agreement.
The Company also entered into a shared services agreement with SFX, pursuant to which it shares costs for services provided by several of the Company's and/or SFX's employees. Such employees will continue to be paid by their current employers, and SFX will reimburse the Company directly for its portion of such salary and benefits and Company will reimburse SFX directly for its portion of such salary and benefits (but not for any bonus, option or restricted share grant made by either company, which will be the responsibility of the company making such bonus, option or restricted share grant). The Audit Committee of each company's Board of Directors reviews and, if appropriate, approves the allocations made and whether payments need to be adjusted or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances. The Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the shared services agreement on January 22, 2015, pursuant to which the Company may provide additional services to SFX, and SFX may provide certain services to the Company. In particular, the shared services agreement provides that, in addition to services already provided, certain employees of the Company may provide human resources, content and programming, and facilities services to SFX, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus
20%
for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent. In addition, the Amendment provides that SFX may provide certain tax services to the Company, subject to reimbursement based on salary and benefits for the employees providing the services, plus
20%
for miscellaneous overhead, based on a reasonable estimate of time spent.
The parties terminated the SFX Shared Services Agreement effective as of January 1, 2016. We continue to try to settle amounts remaining outstanding.
For the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2016
, the Company was billed by SFX
$42
and
$167
, net of amounts billed by the Company to SFX, respectively. The net balance due (to)/from SFX, including amounts related to the Sales Agency Agreement, discussed below, as of
March 31, 2016
and June 30, 2015 was
$(139)
and
$135
, respectively.
Sales Agency Agreement
On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into a sales agency agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SFX-94 LLC (“SFX-94”), a subsidiary of SFX, pursuant to which the Company appoints SFX-94 as its exclusive sales agent for the sale of advertising and sponsorships. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company consented to SFX-94’s hiring of
25
members of the Company’s sales team, and SFX-94 agreed that it will sell advertising and sponsorships on behalf of the Company during the term of the Sales Agreement. SFX-94 also agreed that it will maintain adequate staffing levels, generally consistent with staffing levels currently maintained by the Company, for the Company’s sale of advertising and sponsorships. The Company will pay SFX-94 a
25%
commission on sales made by SFX-94. For barter transactions, the Company will reimburse SFX-94 for any out of pocket and direct costs incurred by SFX-94 with respect to such barter sales (rather than the commission set forth above), and third party ad networks will be excluded from the Sales Agreement. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
, the Company was billed $
432
in connection with the Sales Agreement. On September 22, 2015, the parties terminated the Sales Agreement, and the Company subsequently hired

members of the SFX sales team as of that date.

In October 2015 the Company entered into an agreement with DDGG to expand its rewards catalog and offer to its users the opportunity to redeem Viggle points for entry to DDGG’s fantasy sports contests. The Company agreed to pay DDGG the value of the entry fees for which points were redeemed. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
,
$39
worth of Viggle points were redeemed for DDGG contest entry fees.
License Agreement
On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into an audio recognition and related loyalty program software license and services agreement with SFX. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, SFX paid the Company
$5,000
to license its audio recognition software and related loyalty platform for a term of
10 years
. The amount was deferred and is being amortized over the
ten years
period. For the three months ended
March 31, 2016
and 2015, the Company recognized
$125
and
$125
, respectively, of revenue related to this agreement. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
and 2015, the Company recognized $
375
and $
375
, respectively, of revenue related to this agreement.

shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of
$0.47
per share. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for such shares was $

4,563

(collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), pursuant to which the Company can borrow up to $
1,500
. The Secured Revolving Loan bears interest at the rate of
12%
per annum. In connection with the Secured Revolving Loan, the Company and the Subsidiaries have entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with SIC VI, under which the Company and the Subsidiaries have granted SIC VI a continuing security interest in all assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, with the exception of the Company’s interest in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Secured Revolving Loan to fund working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes in accordance with a budget to be agreed upon by SIC VI and the Company. As of March 31, 2016, $

15. Fair Value Measurement
The Company values its assets and liabilities using the methods of fair value as described in ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1
– Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
– Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3
– Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, and considers counter-party credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions based on the best information available. The Company has certain liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as described below.
The Company issued
21,364
warrants in connection with the May 10, 2012 PIPE. Each warrant has a sale price of
$440
and is exercisable into
1
share of common stock at a price of
$640
over a term of
three years
. Further, the exercise price of the warrants is subject to "down round" protection, whereby any issuance of shares at a price below the current price resets the exercise price equal to a the price of newly issued shares (the "Warrants"). In connection with the PIPE Exchanges on September 16, 2013, the exercise price of the Warrants was reset to
$92
. The fair value of such warrants has been determined utilizing the Binomial Lattice Model in accordance with ASC 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements.
The fair value of the warrants when issued was
$5,281
. On September 16, 2013,
6,818
warrants were exchanged in connection with the PIPE Exchanges. The remaining
14,545
warrants were marked to market as of
March 31, 2016
and 2015 to a fair value of $
10
and $
10
, respectively. The Company recorded gains/(losses) of
$0
and $
(5)
to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the warrant is classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
March 31, 2016
, due to the Company's intention to retire a significant portion of these warrants in its next round of financing. The Company's warrants were classified as a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using unobservable inputs and management's judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity.
The Company estimated the fair value of contingent consideration for the acquisition of Choose Digital to be
$4,792
as of June 30, 2015. The fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because it was valued using unobservable inputs and management's judgment. See Note 6, Acquisitions, for details related to payments made on the contingent consideration during the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
.
On February 8, 2016, the Company received Perk warrants as part of the consideration in the sale of the Viggle business. The carrying amount of Perk warrants held is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis using the Monte Carlo valuation model, in accordance with ASC 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements.
The changes to fair value are recorded in the income statement.
The fair value of the warrants when issued was $
1,023
. The warrants were marked to market as of
March 31, 2016
to a fair value of $
1,091
. The Company recorded a gain of $
68
to other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
. The fair value of the warrant is classified as an other asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
March 31, 2016
. The Perk warrants were classified as a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using unobservable inputs and management's judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity.

$1,000
break-up fee.
The Transaction shall be subject to the preparation of definitive documents. Because the documents are subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied by each of the parties, there is no assurance that the proposed terms may not be changed or that any transaction may be consummated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 21, 2015. Our historical results of operations reflected in our consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations.
DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994, and was formerly known as Viggle Inc., Function (x) Inc, Function (X) Inc. and Gateway Industries, Inc.
Overview
The quarter ended March 31, 2016 was a period of transition for the Company. As described in the "Perk.com Transaction" below, on December 13, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Perk Agreement") with Perk.com, Inc. ("Perk") to sell the Company's rewards business, including the Viggle app, to Perk. This asset sale subsequently closed on February 8, 2016.
As the nature of the Company has changed, the Company changed its name from Viggle Inc. to DraftDay Fantasy Sports, Inc., and changed its ticket symbol from VGGL to DDAY.
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company continued to operate the Viggle rewards business, because the transaction resulting in the sale of that business did not close until February 8, 2016. Therefore, the following overview continues to describe the Viggle rewards business. As of February 8, 2016, the Company no longer operates the Viggle rewards business.
Our Strategy
Viggle Rewards Business - Discontinued Operations
Viggle is a mobile and web-based entertainment marketing platform that uses incentives to make content consumption and discovery more rewarding for media companies, brands and consumers. Viggle helps guide consumers towards various forms of media consumption with television enhancement, music discovery, entertainment content publishing and distributed viewing reminders. Viggle helps consumers decide what to watch and when, broadens the viewing experience with real time games and additional content, and rewards viewers for being loyal to their favorite shows throughout a season, allowing them to earn points. For brands, Viggle provides advertising clients with targeted interactive ads to amplify their TV messaging to verified audiences. For media companies, Viggle delivers promotional benefits by driving viewers to specific shows, engaging them in a richer content experience, and increasing awareness of promoted shows through web, mobile and social channels. We sold this business to Perk in a transaction that closed on February 8, 2016.
Perk.com Transaction
Asset Purchase Agreement
On December 13, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Perk. Perk’s shares are currently traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In connection with the Perk Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Perk certain assets relating to the Viggle rewards business, including the Viggle app. The Company retained its interest in DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc., Wetpaint.com, Inc., Choose Digital, Inc. and the assets relating to its MyGuy game. The closing of this transaction subsequently occurred on February 8, 2016.
Purchase Price and Adjustments
As consideration for the assets sold, the Company received the following consideration:
|
|
•
|
1,500,000 shares of Perk common shares free and clear of all liens, less the number of shares of Perk common shares applied to the repayment of principal and interest of the credit facility described below (the “Initial Perk Shares”);
|
|
|
•
|
2,000,000 shares of Perk common shares if Perk’s combined revenue, as calculated pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, is at least USD $130.0 million for the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2016 or January 1, 2017 (the “Earn-Out”);
|
|
|
•
|
A warrant (“Warrant 1”) entitling the Company to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Perk common shares at a strike price of CDN $6.25 per share in the event the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of shares of Perk common shares is greater than or equal to CDN $12.50 per share for 20 consecutive trading days in the two year period following the closing of the Acquisition;
|
|
|
•
|
A warrant (“Warrant 2”, and together with Warrant 1, the “Warrants”) entitling the Company to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Perk common shares at a strike price of CDN $6.25 per share in the event that the VWAP of Perk common shares is greater than or equal to CDN $18.75 per share for 20 consecutive trading days in the two year period following the closing of the Acquisition; and
|
|
|
•
|
Perk also assumed certain liabilities of the Company, including points liability.
|
At the time the Company entered into the Perk Agreement, Perk provided the Company with a $
1,000
secured line of credit, which the Company fully drew down. The Company had the option of repaying amounts outstanding under that line of credit by reducing the number of Initial Perk Shares by
130,000
. The Company did exercise this option, so the Company received
1,370,000
shares of Perk common stock at closing, and the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit were deemed paid in full.
Escrow
At the closing, 37.5% (562,600) of the Initial Perk Shares were issued and delivered to an escrow agent to be used exclusively for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Company under the Perk Agreement. The escrow agent will hold such shares for one year from the closing in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement.
Additionally, after the closing, we delivered 357,032 shares to satisfy an obligation to a prior trade creditor.

DDGG
On September 8, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. (“DDGG”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT Capital”) and MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the assets of the DraftDay.com business (the “DraftDay Business”) from MGT Capital and MGT Sports. The DraftDay Business conducts business as DDGG and operates a daily fantasy sports website at DraftDay.com, and operates other white-label websites on behalf of its business-to-business clients. The DraftDay.com Business is focused on the business-to-business market allowing consumer brands entry into the fantasy sports market with turnkey solutions. The DraftDay Business has paid out more than $30 million in prize winnings since its inception. The Company is continuing to develop its business plans for the DraftDay Business in connection with the Special Committee's continuing review of strategic alternatives, as noted below.
DDGG is a business-to-business operator of daily fantasy sports in the United States and Canada. DDGG supplies a full white-label solution that allows businesses to participate in the fast growing skill-based game market. By using DDGG's white label solution, a business can offer a fantasy sports product to its customers without incurring the ongoing technology costs and other capital expenditures. By focusing on offering white-label solutions to businesses, DDGG's strategy is to build a network of players through the established databases of DDGG's participating clients. This model is strategically focused to minimize costs of user acquisition. In addition, the aggregated network of users across DDGG's clients' databases creates larger prize pools to generate higher player engagement and retention. DDGG continues to develop its business plan by focusing on the regulated market of casinos as well as the entertainment and sports industries.
Using its proprietary technology, DraftDay provides turnkey white-label solutions to organizations looking for ways to expand and monetize their existing user database. DraftDay’s technology is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform and powers the complete user experience, which can be linked to a new or existing website or integrated into an existing authentication process using a secure API. DraftDay manages all aspects of the website operation, including: taking the deposits, managing the tournaments, handling the withdrawals, and providing customer support on behalf of a client’s new or existing brand.
The DraftDay platform is web-based with enhanced mobile experiences, including Apps, that allow end users to engage in daily fantasy sports tournaments that span single or multiple days, creating rosters from all available players in a variety of tournament formats. Businesses working with DraftDay receive seamless integration, enterprise marketing support, and state-of-the-art monitoring and reporting for revenue optimization.
DraftDay employs industry-leading consumer protection protocols and technology, including geolocation services from GeoComply, identity verification (Know-Your-Customer) from IDology, and enhanced responsible play controls customized by locale.
The daily fantasy sports industry, including DDGG's business, is subject to an evolving legislative and regulatory landscape. Some states employ either a “predominance” test or a “material factor” test to determine whether a game is one of skill or conversely have specific laws prohibiting pay-to-play fantasy sports. Therefore, DDGG does not operate in Alabama, Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Texas, Vermont or Washington. In addition, on November 10, 2015, the New York State Attorney General issued a letter to FanDuel and DraftKings, two of the largest competitors in the fantasy sports industry, stating that it believes that their activities constitute illegal gambling under New York law, and instructing them to cease their offerings to New York residents. As a result, DDGG has ceased its fantasy sports offerings to New York residents, pending further developments on the matter. In addition, several state Attorneys General have issued opinions that daily fantasy either does or does not meet the states standards under their current laws. In those states with negative treatment, DDGG has suspended services until there
is further clarity in those states through the legal, legislative, and regulatory processes. Approximately 33 states have introduced legislation authorizing and regulating daily fantasy sports ranging from clarifying current state laws and regulations to adding new laws regarding daily fantasy sports. DDGG continues to monitor the changing landscape and advocates a favorable position for daily fantasy sports in each of these states.
Special Committee
In the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 11, 2015, the Company reported that its Board of Directors intended to form a Special Committee of independent directors to explore strategic alternatives to enhance value, and that these alternatives could include, among others, possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships, marketing alliances, sale of all or some of the Company, or other possible transactions. Following the Perk transaction, the Special Committee continues to study alternatives, including the possibility of reorganization.
Rant Term Sheet
On April 29, 2016, we entered into a Binding Term Sheet (the “Binding Term Sheet”) with Rant, Inc. (“Rant”). In connection with the Binding Term Sheet, we agreed to purchase the assets of the Rant business (the “Transaction”).
As consideration for the assets, Rant will receive the following consideration:
•$5,000 cash (the “Cash Consideration”). The cash consideration shall initially be advanced by DraftDay as a loan to Rant, which will be deemed satisfied provided Rant delivers audited financial statements to DraftDay within 45 days of the closing of the Transaction.
•Shares of DraftDay’s common stock equal to an amount between 20% and 24% of our total outstanding common stock (the “Share Consideration”). The Share Consideration shall be determined by the mutual agreement of the parties.
Additionally, the Binding Term Sheet provides for the following:
•Rant will have at least $2,000 in cash at the closing of the Transaction.
•If we do not proceed to execution of definitive documents for any reason except (i) a breach by Rant of its obligations under the Binding Term Sheet or (ii) if information regarding Rant’s 2015 revenues, cost of goods sold exclusive of non-cash items) and traffic statistics previously provided to us by Rant is materially incorrect, we must pay Rant a $1,000 break-up fee.
The Transaction shall be subject to the preparation of definitive documents. Because the documents are subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied by each of the parties, there is no assurance that the proposed terms may not be changed or that any transaction may be consummated.
Rant, Inc. is an digital publishing company that was founded in 2010. Rant and its expanding internet property lineup has established itself as a leading innovator in online media consumption. Known for the well-established brand RantSports, Rant, Inc. has since expanded its reach towards the areas of lifestyle, fitness, exercise, entertainment, technology, and celebrities.
Going Concern
Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2015, and the auditor's report on those financial statements, include a disclosure paragraph regarding the uncertainty of our ability to remain a going concern, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue development of its business and to increase revenue. Management intends to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings until sustainable revenues are developed. There is no assurance such equity and/or debt offerings will be successful or that development of the business will be successful, and therefore there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands)
Revenues
Revenue in the three months ended
March 31, 2016
was
$678
, a decrease of
$726
from the three months ended
March 31, 2015
. The decrease was driven by the sale of the Viggle business to Perk, which led to a temporary cessation in Viggle user redemption of digital media on the Choose Digital platform and thus lower revenues for Choose Digital, and to a transfer of the sales force to Perk and thus a loss of direct sales advertising revenues for Wetpaint. The effect of these changes on revenue was
$284
and
$479
, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$5,634
for the three months ended
March 31, 2016
, a net decrease of $
5,270
from the three months ended
March 31, 2015
. The net decrease was driven by decreases in: stock based compensation of
$4,338
, content expense in the amount of
$284
, caused by lower Viggle user redemption of digital media on the Choose Digital platform due to the sale of the Viggle App to Perk, depreciation and amortization expense of
$306
, marketing expense of
$361
, and technology costs of
$221
. These decreases were offset by an increase in spending related to DDGG of
$113
.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was
$1,083
for the three months ended
March 31, 2016
, an increase of
$148
from the three months ended
March 31, 2015
. The increase was due to higher levels of debt during the three months ended
March 31, 2016
.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740,
Income Taxes
. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial
statements. At
March 31, 2016
and June 30, 2015, the Company provided a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and thus recognized no tax benefit.

Revenues
Revenue in the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
was $
3,933
, an decrease of $
361
from the nine months ended
March 31, 2015
. The net decrease was driven by a
$1,513
decrease in Wetpaint revenues primarily caused by the transfer of the sales force to Perk and thus a loss of direct sales advertising revenues, an increase of
$838
in Choose Digital revenues generated through Viggle user redemptions of digital media on the Choose Digital platform, and an increase in DDGG revenues of
$422
.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $
25,043
for the nine months ended
March 31, 2016
, a decrease of $
10,879
from the nine months ended
March 31, 2015
. This change was driven by decreases in stock based compensation of $
9,422
, depreciation and amortization expense of
$449
, marketing expense of $
361
, and Wetpaint content creation of
$226
. These decreases were offset by increases in Choose Digital content expense of
$838
, and DDGG operating expenses of
$336
.

March 31, 2016
was
$30,402

. The increase is due to the goodwill impairment loss the Company recorded of $
2,095
related to the Choose Digital reporting unit and $
15,507
related to the Wetpaint reporting unit, and losses of $
1,331
and $

, the Company had approximately $

The Company's 12-Month Plan for its Business (amounts in thousands)
Our capital requirements to fund our operating segments are variable based on a few key factors. With respect to Wetpaint, the key factors among others include quality content creation, monthly unique visitors and our ability to procure advertising inventory to properly monetize our user base. With respect to Choose Digital, the key factors are our ability to launch new clients and the cost and our ability to purchase digital content at an attractive price. In respect to DDGG, the key factors are our ability to attract new business-to-business partners, the number of players and our ability to set the prize awards at appropriate levels to reduce overlay. These factors combine to determine our cash needs for calendar 2016. As we increase Wetpaint's number of monthly unique users and number of advertising partners, we would expect to generate increased revenue from the sale of digital media on the Wetpaint website and expect these sales to be a source of liquidity within such period for this operating segment. If we can increase Choose Digital's client base, we would expect to generate increased revenue from the provision of digital content to the clients. If we can increase DDGG's client base, we would expect to generate increased revenue from the provision of a white label fantasy sports gaming platform and would expect these sales to be a source of liquidity within such period for this operating segment. However, there is no guarantee that revenues will exceed business fixed and variable costs in calendar 2016 or ever. In respect to our operating costs, employee salaries, cost of content expenditures, leases of office space, and costs of cloud computing and hosting services constitute the majority of our monthly operating expenses. With the exception of leased office space, our operating costs across the operating segments are expected to increase as we add users and clients, work to create more content to entice users, and create new features and functionality on the Choose Digital and DDGG platforms. The overall level of expenses will be reflective of management’s view of the current opportunities for the operating segments within their respective marketplaces and the Company’s strategic decisions. We utilize significant computing resources across our business to run and develop our website and platforms and purchase certain server hardware; however, we lease the majority of needed computing hardware, bandwidth, and co-location facilities. Accordingly, we can limit the cost of these servers to be in line with business growth. We plan to carefully manage our growth and costs to attempt to meet the goals of our business plan for such period.
Our sale of the Company’s rewards business to Perk greatly reduced our cash burn and our rewards points liabilities. We have projected the plan for our business for the 2016 calendar year, which is subject to change resulting from both internal and external circumstances. Our 12-month plan has not been reviewed for consistency with US GAAP, and has been prepared on a modified accrual basis. Our 12-month plan is based on assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties. Our 12-month plan represents our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this filing on Form 10-Q, and our actual future results may be materially different from what we set forth below.
There is no assurance that the plan set forth herein will be successful. If implemented, actual results may vary significantly from the plan described in this filing on future Forms 10-Q. We do not warrant or guarantee the foregoing. Our June 30, 2015 financial statements contain a going concern emphasis in our audit opinion.
With the conclusion of the Perk transaction, the Company is in the process of reviewing its remaining three business segments and the cash needs for the 2016 calendar year to cover fixed expenses and capital, including employee payroll, content expenditures, server capacity, office space and capital expenditures. The amount of capital required will depend on strategic decisions to be made with those business segments. As of March 31, 2016, we had approximately $
1,737
available under our existing lines of credit and cash of approximately $
623
. We intend to increase revenue over the next 12 months as we focus on selling more advertising on the Wetpaint website and, depending on our strategic decisions, working to improve the Choose Digital and DDGG platforms. We also intend to reduce our expenses. There is no guarantee that we will be successful. Our ability to sell increasing amounts of advertising is dependent on the amount of monthly unique users and the activity of those users on the Wetpaint website. Our ability to generate digital content sales for Choose Digital is dependent on our ability to launch digital rewards programs for new clients and maintain our digital content licenses, which are currently in arrears. Our ability to launch new DDGG partners is dependent on the legal and regulatory developments in the market. We may not be able to deliver enough users to grow revenue. The level of engagement activity currently seen on the Wetpaint website and the DDGG fantasy sports application may slow and the potential revenue per user would fall accordingly. We also may not be able to maintain our current relationships with media content providers for Choose Digital.
The actual amount of funds required for the 2016 calendar year may vary depending upon the number of users and clients, the content, rewards, and related expenses, the development costs for the launch of new features and product enhancements, and the speed with which the legal and regulatory issues within the fantasy sports market are resolved. In the event that the required cash is not funded from revenue and expenses reduced, we will need to raise additional capital through either debt or equity financing.
Our decisions regarding strategic alternatives will need to take into account all of these factors which can affect our business plan as set forth above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, internal-use software, and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, there have been no significant changes related to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09,
Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU
2016-09"). This update is intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affects all organizations
that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award
transactions are simplified, including:(a)income tax consequences;(b)classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and(c) classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its financial statements.
In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02
requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a
lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a
right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease
term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements.
In January 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments- Overall: Recognition
and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). Additionally, it requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Lastly, the standard eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, “Income taxes: Balance Sheet Classification
of Deferred Taxes Business” (“ASU 2015-17”). Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires an entity to separate deferred income tax
liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax liabilities
and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified
according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-17 on its financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2015-16,
Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments
("ASU 2015-16"). This standard requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the ASU 2015-16 require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (July 1, 2017 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2015-16 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
