NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted]

Information as at September 30, 2009 and for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited

 

1. Nature of Operations

 

On June 4, 2009, NeuLion, Inc. changed its name to NeuLion USA Inc. (“NeuLion USA”).  On July 13, 2009, JumpTV Inc. changed its name to NeuLion, Inc. (“NeuLion” or the “Company”).  In conjunction with the name change, the stock symbol was changed from “JTV” to “NLN”.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects the name changes described above as they are effective as of the date of filing this report.

 

On October 20, 2008, NeuLion USA, a Delaware corporation, completed a merger with a subsidiary of NeuLion, a Canadian corporation (the “Merger”), that was accounted for as a reverse takeover.  As a result of the Merger, NeuLion USA became the legal subsidiary of NeuLion, and NeuLion was required to register its common shares in the United States under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  On June 8, 2009, its Registration Statement on Form 10 became effective.

 

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and as at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are issued under the name of the legal acquirer in the Merger (NeuLion) but are deemed to be a continuation of the accounting acquirer (NeuLion USA).  These financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion USA, the accounting acquirer, and only include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion, the legal acquirer, subsequent to the reverse takeover on October 20, 2008 (the “Acquired Business”).

 

The Company’s primary business is working with content partners to develop end-to-end solutions for multimedia IPTV services.

 

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s accounting polices are consistent with those presented in our annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2008, except for the adoption, effective January 1, 2009, of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815-40”), described below.  These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, in the 2008 annual financial statements.

 

The preparation of these financial statements is in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the disclosures made in the accompanying notes. Despite the Company’s intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Note 12 reconciles the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements from U.S. GAAP to Canadian GAAP.

 

In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) as the single source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. GAAP. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to

simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place (the “Codification”). On the effective date of ASC 105, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and all other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. The provisions of ASC 105 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted ASC 105 in the third quarter of 2009. This pronouncement had no effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but impacted our financial reporting process by replacing all references to pre-Codification standards with references to the applicable Codification topic.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 amends guidance included within ASC Topic 605-25 to require an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple element arrangement.  The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation.  ASU 2009-13 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU 2009-13.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  This statement sets forth the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements.  ASC 855 also requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.  This statement is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted ASC 855 during the second quarter of 2009.  The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 825, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim and annual reporting periods of publicly traded companies.  This interpretation is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 825 during the second quarter of 2009.  The adoption of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815-40.  One of the conclusions reached under ASC 815-40 was that an equity-linked financial instrument would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock if the strike price is denominated in a currency other than the issuer’s functional currency.  The conclusion reached under ASC 815-40 clarified the accounting treatment for these and certain other financial instruments.  ASC 815-40 specifies that a contract would not be treated as a derivative if it met the following conditions:  (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock; and (b) classified in shareholders’ equity in the Company’s statement of financial position.

 

As a result, the Company’s outstanding warrants denominated in Canadian dollars as detailed in note 11 are not considered to be indexed to our own stock because the exercise price is denominated in Canadian dollars and our functional currency is United States dollars and therefore have been treated as derivative financial instruments and recorded at their fair value as a liability.  All other outstanding convertible instruments are considered to be indexed to our own stock, because their exercise price is denominated in the same currency as our functional currency, and are included in shareholders’ equity.

Investment in affiliate — KyLinTV

 

The Company records its investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.

 

From January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009, the Company’s equity interest in the affiliate was 17.1%.  As previously discussed, the Company also provides and charges KyLinTV for administrative and general corporate support.  Management has determined that as a result of the 17.1% equity interest combined with the services that the Company provides KyLinTV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV; therefore, the Company continues to account for KyLinTV using the equity method of accounting for investment.

 

The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.   Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment had been reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008.  No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

 

The results of operations and financial position of the Company’s equity basis investment in KyLinTV are summarized below for the three and nine months ended September 30:

6. Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of Shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of Shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential Shares using the treasury stock method.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had potential Shares which, due to the losses incurred, were considered anti-dilutive equity instruments. Accordingly, the effect of the convertible instruments detailed below for each of the periods has not been reflected in computing diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

The following table summarizes the potential Shares that were outstanding as at September 30, 2009 and 2008 but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

During the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and a party to claims.  Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the accounts when required.  Although the extent of potential costs and losses, if any is uncertain, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

9.  Segmented Information

 

The Company operates as one reportable segment: to provide full end-to-end enterprise-level IPTV and other professional services.  The majority of the Company’s revenues and long-lived assets are in the United States.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes Recognition” (“ASC 740”).  There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2009.

 

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $28.0 million.  Other than additional losses, there has been no significant change in unrecognized tax benefits through September 30, 2009.  Our effective tax rate is zero due to current year losses and the associated valuation allowance on the Company’s net operating losses.

11. Derivative Instruments

 

The Company’s only derivative instruments are 11,000,000 warrants, the exercise price for which are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, as follows:

 

·                  5,500,000 Series A warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.25 and expire on October 20, 2010.

·                  5,500,000 Series B warrants exercisable at Cdn$1.50 and expire on October 20, 2010.

 

These warrants have been recorded at their relative fair values at issuance and will continue to be recorded at fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date.  Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded as other income (expense).  These warrants will continue to be reported as a liability until such time as they are exercised or expire.  The fair value of these warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

 

As of January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of these warrants in the amount of $2,464,000 was reallocated from additional paid-in-capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $587,950, being the fair value of the warrants on January 1, 2009 offset by an adjustment to accumulated deficit of $1,876,050.

 

As of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the fair value of the warrants was determined to be $3,626,150 and $1,397,000, respectively; accordingly, the Company recorded $2,229,150 and $3,038,200 in other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, related to the change in the fair value of these warrants.  There is no cash flow impact for these derivatives until the warrants are exercised.  If these warrants are exercised, the Company will receive the proceeds from the exercise at the current exchange rate at the time of exercise.

 

12. Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Canadian GAAP

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following adjustments and disclosures would be required in order to present these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP:

There were no material differences in cash flow items using Canadian GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

Areas of material difference between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and their impact on the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

[i]   Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)

 

·                  Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recognizes a liability and compensation expense for the fair value of the SARs on each reporting date.

 

·                  Under Canadian GAAP, the Company recognizes a liability and compensation expense for the “in the money” value of the SARs on each reporting date.

 

[ii]   Derivative Liability

 

·                  CICA Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments — Disclosure and Presentation, establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them.  The revisions change the accounting for certain financial instruments that have liability and equity characteristics.

·                  Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recognizes a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets for the fair value of all convertible instruments with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.  The Company fair values this liability on each reporting date with the corresponding entry to unrealized gain (loss) on derivative on the consolidated statement of operations.

 

·                  Under Canadian GAAP, the Company fair values these convertible instruments on the grant date and includes them within additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.  The Company does not recognize any changes in fair value.

 

In addition, recent Canadian GAAP accounting pronouncements that may impact the Company’s disclosure requirements are as follows:

The Company’s outstanding share capital is comprised of Shares.  At September 30, 2009, an unlimited number of Shares were authorized and 110,537,883 (December 2008 - 110,084,044) Shares were issued and outstanding. Approximately 60% of the Shares are held by insiders, and the remaining Shares are widely held.  Further information on the Company’s outstanding share capital is provided in note 8 of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.

 

At September 30, 2009, a total of 8,286,022 stock options, 16,720 restricted share units, 16,197,500 warrants, 867,215 retention warrants and 1,690,000 SARs were outstanding, which convertible securities cumulatively represented approximately 24% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. Pursuant to guidelines set by the Company’s respective equity plans:

 

·                  The maximum number of Shares available for issuance upon exercise of stock options is limited to the greater of 12.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares and 4,000,000;

 

·                  The maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards of restricted share units is 1,000,000;

The Company’s objective in managing capital is to ensure a sufficient liquidity position to finance its revenue growth, general and administrative expenses, working capital and capital expenditures.

 

In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares and/or purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids.

 

To finance its activities, the Company has relied on revenue growth and capital contributions.

 

The Company’s policy is to maintain a minimal level of debt.  At this time the Company has not utilized debt facilities as part of its capital management program nor has it paid dividends to its shareholders.

 

The capital management objectives for the period ended September 30, 2009 remained the same as those of the previous fiscal period.

 

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Risk management is primarily the responsibility of the Company’s corporate finance function.  Significant risks are regularly monitored and actions are taken, when appropriate, according to the Company’s approved policies, established for that purpose.  In addition, as required, these risks are reviewed with the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency of the United States dollar.  The majority of the Company’s revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars, whereas a portion of its expenses are transacted in U.S. or Canadian dollars.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its invested cash and cash equivalents and its short-term investments.  The interest rates on these instruments are based on the banks’ applicable rate and therefore are subject to change with the market.  The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its interest rate risk.

 

Credit Risk

 

The Company sells its services to a variety of customers under various payment terms and therefore is exposed to credit risk.  The Company has adopted policies and procedures designed to limit this risk.  The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables.  The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable.  The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s primary source of revenues to date being subscription revenues, for which monies are received in advance principally through credit cards.

 

There is no significant credit risk related to the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Credit risk is managed through conducting financial and other assessments of these investments on an ongoing basis.

 

The following table sets out details of the age of accounts receivable that are outstanding and related allowance for doubtful accounts:

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.  When a receivable balance is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued new Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs.  The new standard addresses when an internally developed intangible asset meets the criteria for recognition as an asset.  The section also issued amendments to Section 1000, Financial Statement Concepts.  These changes are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted, and have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2009.  The objectives of the changes are to reinforce a principle-based approach to the recognition of costs as assets and to clarify the application of the concept of matching revenues and expenses in Section 1000.  Collectively, these changes bring Canadian practice closer to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) by eliminating the practice of recognizing as assets a variety of start-up, pre-production and similar costs that do not meet the definition and recognition criteria of an asset.  There was no material effect on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting CICA Handbook Section 3064.

 

In February 2008, the CICA Accounting Standards Board confirmed that the changeover to IFRS from Canadian GAAP will be required for publicly accountable enterprises, effective for the interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  The Company became an SEC issuer effective June 8, 2009 and expects to continue to use U.S. GAAP until the date that IFRS is implemented in the United States, which is currently estimated to occur no sooner than 2014.

 

13. Subsequent Event

 

We evaluated subsequent events through November 10, 2009 when the financial statements were issued.

 

On October 31, 2009, NeuLion consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc. (“INSINC”), a leading provider of sports webcasting services.  Under the terms of the acquisition, shareholders of INSINC received consideration consisting of 6 million common shares of the Company, Cdn $2.5 million in cash, 1 million common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at USD $1.35 per share and 500,000 common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at USD $1.80 per share.  Both series of warrants are exercisable for a period of 2 years.

Item 2.            Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

On June 4, 2009, NeuLion, Inc. changed its name to NeuLion USA, Inc. (“NeuLion USA”).  On July 13, 2009, JumpTV Inc. changed its name to NeuLion, Inc. (the “Company” or “NeuLion”).  In conjunction with the name change, the stock symbol was changed from “JTV” to “NLN”.  This MD&A reflects the name changes described above.

 

The following Management’s Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) of NeuLion’s financial condition and results of operations, prepared as of November 10, 2009, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).  For additional information and details, readers are referred to the Company’s Annual Audited Financial Statements, Annual Information Form (“AIF”) and MD&A for 2008 which can be found on www.sedar.com and its Form 10 filed on http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.  All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars (“US$” or “$”) unless stated otherwise.

 

On October 20, 2008, NeuLion USA, a Delaware corporation, completed a merger with a subsidiary of NeuLion (the “Merger”) that was accounted for as a reverse takeover.  As a result of the Merger, NeuLion USA became the legal subsidiary of NeuLion, and NeuLion was required to register its common shares in the United States under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  On June 8, 2009, its Registration Statement on Form 10 became effective.

 

On October 31, 2009, NeuLion consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc. (“INSINC”), a leading provider of sports webcasting services.  Under the terms of the acquisition, shareholders of INSINC received consideration consisting of 6 million common shares of the Company, Cdn $2.5 million in cash, 1 million common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at USD $1.35 per share and 500,000 common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at USD $1.80 per share.  Both series of warrants are exercisable for a period of 2 years.

 

Our MD&A is intended to enable readers to gain an understanding of NeuLion’s current results and financial position.  To do so, we provide information and analysis comparing the results of operations and financial position for the current three and nine-month periods to those of the preceding comparable three and nine-month periods.  We also provide analysis and commentary that we believe is required to assess the Company’s future prospects.  Accordingly, certain sections of this report contain forward-looking statements that are based on current plans and expectations.  These forward-looking statements are affected by risks and uncertainties that are discussed in the AIF and Form 10, and could have a material impact on future prospects.  Readers are cautioned that actual results could vary.

 

Cautions regarding forward-looking statements

 

This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s expectations regarding the Company’s growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities.

 

Statements about the Company’s future plans and intentions, results, levels of activity, performance, goals or achievements or other future events constitute forward-looking statements.  Wherever possible, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” or “potential” or the negative or other variations of these words, or similar words or phrases, have been used to identify these forward-looking statements.  These statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management as at the date hereof.

 

Forward-looking statements involve significant risk, uncertainties and assumptions.  Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements.  These factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.  Although the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure readers that actual

 

19



Table of Contents

 

results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this MD&A, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.  Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including: the integration of the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries NeuLion USA and INSINC, our continued relationships with our channel partners, general economic and market segment conditions, competitor activity, product capability and acceptance, rates, technology changes and international risk and currency exchange.  More specific risks include that the Company, NeuLion USA and INSINC will not be able to realize some or all expected synergies due to incompatibilities in our businesses, the inability of management to bring about such synergies or a changing business environment rendering such synergies inadvisable or uneconomical.  After integrating the businesses, the suite of service offerings may not perform as expected if shifting demand moves in a direction away from our expected business model, if competitors are able to take market share away from us or if changing technology adversely impacts us.  In addition, while the Company expects its content partners and those of its subsidiaries to continue and expand their relationship with each of us, there can be no assurance that such relationships will continue as expected, or at all.  More detailed assessment of the risks that could cause actual results to materially differ from current expectations is contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the AIF and Form 10.

 

MERGER AND REVERSE TAKE-OVER

 

On October 20, 2008, the Company completed the Merger with NeuLion USA, an IPTV company that provides a comprehensive suite of technology and services to content owners and aggregators.  NeuLion USA provides an end-to-end technology solution which enables content to be monetized and streamed to multiple platforms through browser-based devices.  Content can be viewed on the computer, television through a proprietary set-top box (“STB”) and mobile devises.  Under the terms of the Merger, NeuLion issued 49,577,427 common shares directly, as well as 1,840,097 common shares subject to a performance escrow relating to a prior acquisition, which represented approximately the entire issued and outstanding common shares of NeuLion prior to closing, to the securityholders of NeuLion USA in exchange for their NeuLion USA securities.    The escrow shares were subsequently cancelled in September 2009.  The common shares of NeuLion are referred to herein as “Shares,” or each individually as a “Share.”  Pursuant to the Merger, the Company also issued 5,000,000 warrants to purchase Shares, fully vested and exercisable for two years at US$0.63 per share, and 2,700,000 employee stock options to purchase Shares, vesting in equal monthly amounts over 48 months and exercisable for five years at US$0.60 per share, to employees of NeuLion USA who became employees of the Company.

 

On October 20, 2008, AvantaLion LLC, an entity controlled by Charles B. Wang, our Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and the spouse of Nancy Li, our CEO and the founder and CEO of NeuLion USA, purchased 10,000,000 units from NeuLion’s treasury at a price of Cdn$1.00 per unit. Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of one Share, one-half of one Share purchase warrant exercisable at Cdn$1.25 and one-half of one Share purchase warrant exercisable at Cdn$1.50. The warrants partially comprising the Units are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. G. Scott Paterson, our Vice Chairman, also purchased 1,000,000 Units on the same terms. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Units (the “Private Placement”) were Cdn$11.0 million or US$9.2 million.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), “Business Combinations”, the Company has determined that NeuLion USA was the accounting acquirer and accordingly has accounted for the Merger as a reverse takeover.  Therefore, the financial statements and this MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion USA, the accounting acquirer, and only include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NeuLion, the legal acquirer, subsequent to the reverse takeover on October 20, 2008 (the “Acquired Business”).  This MD&A is issued under the name of the legal acquirer (NeuLion), but is deemed to be a continuation of the accounting acquirer (NeuLion USA).

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is an IPTV service and technology provider that builds and manages private networks for content owners and aggregators which enables content to be streamed to multiple platforms through browser based devices.  The Company provides an “end-to-end” IPTV service for its customers of live and on-demand sports, international and variety programming. “IPTV” refers to the distribution over an IP network of streamed audio, video and other multimedia content, similar to television programming content, using industry standard streaming protocols.

 

This end-to-end enterprise technology solution enables the distribution of IPTV content to subscribers and pay-per-view customers for viewing on multiple platforms, including Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices and standard television sets through Internet-connected STBs.

Table of Contents

 

The Company’s business model has evolved from its inception in December 2003 as a professional services provider to becoming an end-to-end provider of the following IPTV services:

 

·                  content management — encoding of various digital and analog TV and video formats,

·                  subscriber management — managing subscriber access and control of subscriber accounts,

·                  digital rights management — preserving the integrity of the content and protecting it from unauthorized access,

·                  billing services — enabling customers to view subscription accounts, providing pay-per-view transactional billing, payment processing and advertising insertion, and

·                  delivery — delivering streamed audio, video and other multimedia content anywhere, anytime through the Company’s  IPTV service and infrastructure

 

This evolution commenced in 2006 and is one of the reasons for the increase in revenue, cost of services and equipment revenue and selling general and administrative expenses over the past 3 years.

 

Through the acquisition of the Acquired Business on October 20, 2008, the Company has expanded its portfolio of content partners from professional sports (the National Hockey League (“NHL”) and the National Football League (“NFL”)), international content (Chinese programming through KyLinTV, Inc. (“KyLinTV”)) and faith based programming (Sky Angel) to include college sports, cycling events, soccer events and additional international channels.

 

Additionally, through the consummation of the acquisition of INSINC on October 31, 2009, the Company expanded its portfolio of content partners to include the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Central Hockey League (CHL), British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), Central Canadian Hockey League (CCHL), Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), Central Junior Hockey League (CJHL) and the Canadian Football League (CFL).  INSINC also provides its services to government and entertainment broadcasting sectors with clients including Business News Network (BNN), CTV News Channel, Rogers Sportsnet, TVG Networks, The Canadian Press, the Canadian Ministry of Justice, the BC Ministry of Education, and the Legislative Assemblies of British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador, among others.

 

The Company’s success is dependent upon several factors, including securing contractual relationships, maintaining technological advantage in a rapidly changing industry and efficiently and effectively operating the distribution network.

 

Revenue

 

The Company earns revenue in two areas: services revenue and equipment revenue.  Services revenue includes subscriber revenue, eCommerce revenue and technology services revenue.  Equipment revenue includes the sale and shipping of STBs.  These are described in detail in the “OPERATIONS” section.

 

Customer relationships

 

The Company has two types of customer relationships — business-to-consumer (“B2C”) and business-to-business (“B2B”).

 

The B2C relationships are more individual consumer oriented.  The Company has signed distribution agreements with individual channel or content providers in exchange for royalty payments to such providers.  The Company then markets the content on one (or more) of the targeted websites that the company has developed which are focused on a specific diaspora community (e.g. Talfazat, LLC for the Middle East community; TV-Desi, Inc. for the South Asian community), as well as on the general Company website for purchase by an end user.   The Company often aggregates the content into bundles or packages of similar interest.  The Company incurs marketing expenses in promoting the availability of the content.  The Company is in the process of migrating this group of customer relationships to a B2B relationship through partnerships and/or affiliates (partially or wholly owned) that group the content into similar interests.

 

21



Table of Contents

 

The B2B relationships have been the focus of the Company in the past and are expected to be the focus in the future.  A B2B relationship is focused on providing an end-to-end solution to a customer to enable that customer to provide IPTV to its end users.  This type of relationship is different than above in that the B2B customer typically aggregates the content, negotiates the licensing rights and markets directly the availability of the content.  This customer avails itself of the full services of the Company in delivery to its end users.  This type of relationship is typical in the professional and college sports properties and the Sky Angel agreement.

The Company offers live and on-demand sports content.  The Company has content and distribution agreements with leading professional and collegiate sports properties.  Amongst professional and amateur sports clients, the Company counts the NFL and the NHL as professional sports leagues and the American Hockey League, the WHL and OHL, and the CFL as amateur sports leagues.  The Company also owns IPTV rights to distribute in North America live streaming of South American Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup Qualifier games in 2009.  The Company also operates a portfolio of sports-oriented web sites, including Jumptv.com, Cycling.tv and CollegeSportsDirect.com.  On the collegiate landscape, the Company is the premier partner for National Collegiate Athletic Association colleges and universities, with agreements in place with approximately 170 colleges, universities or related sites.

 

Ethnic/International and Specialty Programming

 

The Company also offers what is referred to in the industry as “ethnic television,” which the Company defines as television directed at a specific diaspora community, as determined by a shared nationality, language or culture, and generally excluding communities for which English is the primary language.  The Company has license agreements directly with television broadcasters (referred to as “channel partners”) representing approximately 150 channels in over 40 countries that give the Company rights to stream, predominantly on an exclusive world-wide basis and generally for an initial four-year term, the channel partners’ live linear television feeds over the public Internet.

 

Distribution Methods

 

The Company distributes content through two primary distribution methods:

 

·                  Internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices; and

 

·                  Standard television through the Company’s Internet-connected STBs.

 

Both of the Company’s distribution methods take advantage of an open IPTV network, the public Internet.  As a result, content delivered by the Company is available globally and is potentially unlimited in breadth.

 

Industry and Business Trends

 

There have been no significant changes in industry and business trends from the Company’s 2008 annual MD&A.

 

Overall Performance - Overview

 

The Company uses the term “organic” to refer to the period-over-period changes in its revenues and expenses, excluding the revenues and expenses of the Acquired Business.  This permits readers to better compare current year and prior year revenues and expenses, and to understand changes that have occurred, without regard to the effect of the Merger.

Three months ended September 30, 2009

 

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $6.1 million, up 126% from $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The revenue growth of $3.4 million was due to an increase in services revenue of $4.0 million, offset by a decrease in our equipment revenue of $0.6 million.   The revenue growth is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Acquired Business, which contributed $3.1 million of the growth.  The organic increase (excluding the results of the Acquired Business) in services revenue is consistent with the increasing scope of operations.  As the number of subscribers increases, there is a cumulative effect of increasing subscriber revenue on a quarter over quarter basis.  The decrease in equipment revenue is a result of the uneven nature of this revenue stream — customers often place large single orders made to meet minimum order requirements, to manage the lead time between ordering and shipping and to minimize the related shipping costs.  The lead time on new orders is approximately 12 weeks from placing an order to receipt of goods.  The purchase by customers of STBs is a leading indicator of future subscriptions.  On a pro forma basis, as described in note 3 of the financial statements, revenue decreased from $6.6 million to $6.1 million due to a decline in revenue in the Acquired Business of $0.8 million, offset by organic growth of $0.3 million.

 

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $7.5 million, or a loss of $0.07 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.4 million or a loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in net loss of $6.1 million was due to the following:

 

·                  Increase in organic loss of $1.1 million (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Net loss in the Acquired Business of $1.8 million (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Increased non-operating expenses of $3.2 million which includes an increase of $2.2 million in unrealized loss on derivative (detailed below in the Net Loss to EBITDA reconciliation)

 

On a pro forma basis (as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2008), our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $12.8 million or a loss of $0.30 per basic and diluted share.   The improvement in net loss of $5.3 million on a pro forma basis was due to the following:

 

·                  Increase in organic loss of $1.1 million (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Reduction in net loss in the Acquired Business of $3.8 million due to cost reductions in most areas of the business (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Reduction in non-operating expenses of $2.6 million which includes an increase of $2.2 million in unrealized loss on derivative (detailed below in the Net Loss to EBITDA reconciliation)

 

Our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with a non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.1 million from the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss is due to the cash impact of the items noted above.  On a pro forma basis, our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased from a loss of $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to a loss of $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  This decrease is due to cost reductions in most areas of the Acquired Business offset by the increased organic costs.

 

The Company reports Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss because it is a key measure used by management to evaluate the results of the Company and make strategic decisions about the Company.  Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss represents net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, unrealized loss on derivatives, equity in loss of affiliate, investment income and foreign exchange gain.   This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Nine months ended September 30, 2009

 

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $19.1 million, up 151% from $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The revenue growth of $11.5 million was primarily due to an increase in services revenue of $13.9 million and was offset by a decrease in our equipment revenue of $2.4 million.   The revenue growth is due to the acquisition of the Acquired Business, which contributed $9.9 million of the growth coupled with an organic increase of $1.6 million.  The organic increase (excluding the results of the Acquired Business) in services revenue is consistent with the increasing scope of operations.  As the number of subscribers increases, there is a cumulative effect of increasing subscriber revenue on a quarter over quarter basis.  The decrease in equipment revenue is a result of the uneven nature of this revenue stream — customers often place large single orders made to meet minimum order requirements, to manage the lead time between ordering and shipping and to minimize the related shipping costs.  The lead time on new orders is approximately 12 weeks from order to receipt.  The purchase by customers of STBs is a leading indicator of future subscriptions.  On a pro forma basis, as described in note 3 of the financial statements, revenue increased from $18.8 million to $19.1 million due to organic growth.

 

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $18.2 million, or a loss of $0.16 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $4.4 million or a loss of $0.10 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in net loss of $13.8 million was due to the following:

 

·                  Increase in organic loss of $2.9 million (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Net loss in the Acquired Business of $5.8 million (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Increased non-operating expenses of $5.1 million which includes an increase of $3.0 million in unrealized loss on derivative (detailed below in the Net Loss to EBITDA reconciliation)

 

On a pro forma basis (as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2008), our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $84.7 million or a loss of $1.99 per basic and diluted share.   The improvement in net loss of $66.5 million on a pro forma basis was due to the following:

 

·                  Increase in organic loss of $2.9 million (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Elimination of impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets of $52.8 million

·                  Reduction in net loss in the Acquired Business of $18.4 million due to cost reductions in most areas of the business (excluding non-operating expenses)

·                  Increase in non-operating expenses of $1.8 million which includes an increase of $3.0 million in unrealized loss on derivative (detailed below in the Net Loss to EBITDA reconciliation)

Our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with a non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.7 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase is non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss is due to the cash impact of the items noted above.  On a pro forma basis, our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased from a loss of $26.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to a loss of $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This decrease is due to cost reductions in most areas of the Acquired Business offset by the increased organic costs as noted above.  The reconciliation from net loss to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss is as follows:

OPERATIONS

 

Revenue

 

The Company earns revenue in four broad categories:

 

·                  Subscriber revenue, which is recognized over the period of service or usage.

·                  eCommerce revenue, which is recognized as the service is performed.

·                  Technology services revenue, which consists of the set up and transcoder revenue and is recognized over the life of the contract.

·                  Equipment revenue, which is recognized when title of the STB passes to the customer.

 

While our revenues have been growing due to the organic growth in our existing business and the Merger, we are uncertain as to how our revenues will be impacted by the current downturn in the global economy.

Cost and Expenses

 

Cost of Services Revenue

 

Cost of services revenue primarily consists of:

 

·                  Cost of Subscriber revenue, which consists of three primary components:

·                  Royalty payments

·                  Network operating costs

·                  Bandwidth usage fees

·                  Colocation fees

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, including Stock-Based Compensation

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs include:

 

·                  Wages and benefits — represents compensation for the Company’s full-time and part-time employees as well as fees for consultants who are used by the Company from time to time;

·                  Stock-based compensation — we estimate the fair value of our options, warrants and stock appreciation rights (“Convertible Securities”) for financial accounting purposes using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, which requires a number of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the Convertible Securities, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate, forfeiture rate and future volatility of the price of our Shares.  We expense the estimated fair value over the vesting period of the Convertible Securities.  The vesting period is normally over a four year period, vesting in an equal amount each month; however, the Board of Directors has the discretion to grant options with different vesting periods.

·                  Marketing — represents expenses for both global and local marketing programs that focus on various target sports properties and ethnic communities.  These initiatives include both on-line and off-line marketing expenditures.  These expenditures also include search engine marketing and search engine optimization;

Equity in Loss of Affiliate

 

From January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009, the Company’s equity interest in KyLinTV was 17.1%.  KyLinTV is a company that is controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Company also provides and charges KyLinTV for administrative and general corporate support.  Management has determined that as a result of the 17.1% equity interest combined with the services that the Company provides KyLinTV, the Company

 

26

continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV, therefore the Company continues to account for KyLinTV using the equity method of accounting for investment.

 

The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.   Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment had been reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008.  No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

The selected interim information for the periods from Q4 2007 to Q3 2008 represents income statement data for NeuLion USA, excluding the Acquired Business.  For the periods from Q4 2008 (subsequent to October 20, 2008) to Q3 2009, the selected interim information represents income statement data for NeuLion including the Acquired Business.

 

The Q4 2007 revenue includes $4.6 million of equipment revenue which is significantly higher than comparable periods.  The sale of STBs quarter over quarter is very uneven in nature.  The Company expected STB revenue to have a much slower growth rate than services revenue.  Services revenue is a recurring revenue stream whereas STB revenue is earned on new customers and/or subscribers.

 

The Q4 2008 net loss includes a non-cash impairment charge of $1.0 million.  This non-cash impairment charge was not incurred in the comparative periods.

 

The Q1 2009, Q2 2009 and Q3 2009 net losses include a non-cash loss on derivative charge of $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively.  These non-cash losses on derivative were not incurred in comparative periods.

Revenue

 

Services Revenue

 

Services revenue includes revenue from subscribers, eCommerce and technology services.  Services revenue increased from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is a combination of the organic growth in services revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our services revenue was $0.9 million.  The Acquired Business comprised $3.1 million of total services revenue for the quarter.

 

Subscriber revenue increased from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is a combination of the growth in subscribers and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our subscriber revenue was $0.8 million.

 

28



Table of Contents

 

The organic increase was a result of $0.6 million in revenue growth from our existing customers coupled with $0.2 million in revenue generated from 18 new customers.  The Acquired Business comprised $1.8 million of total subscriber revenue for the period.

 

eCommerce revenue increased from zero for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business comprised all of eCommerce revenue for the period.

 

Technology services revenue increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is a combination of the growth in technology services revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our technology services revenue was $0.1 million.   As new customers begin streaming video or develop their user interface, we earn technology services revenue.  This revenue is recognized over the life of the contractual relationship.  The Acquired Business comprised $0.4 million of total technology services revenue for the period.

 

Equipment Revenue

 

Equipment revenue decreased from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in equipment revenue is a result of the uneven nature of the revenue stream; customers often place large single orders to meet minimum order requirements to manage the lead time between ordering and shipping and to minimize the related shipping costs.  The lead time on new orders is approximately 12 weeks from order to receipt.  The timing of specific orders is not consistent period over period.  We sell our STBs to customers, who in turn sell or give them to new users, and we also sell directly to users.  The demand for STBs is driven by new subscribers and the level of inventory carried by our customers.  Our customers do not have the right of return on purchased STBs.  Initial orders by new customers and new users will impact the trend of STB revenues.  The Company expects STB revenue to have a much slower growth rate than services revenue.  Services revenue is recurring (monthly) revenue whereas STB revenue is earned on new customers and/or subscribers.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of Services Revenue

 

Cost of services revenue increased from $0.7 million or 41% of services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.9 million or 51% of services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  This increase was a combination of the costs associated with increased revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008.  The Acquired Business comprised $1.9 million of total costs of services revenue for the period.

 

Organic cost of services revenue increased from $0.7 million or 41% of services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.0 million or 38% of services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The $0.3 million increase was a result of additional costs relating to colocation and network fees in support of increased revenue.    The 3% improvement (as a percentage of services revenue) primarily relates to negotiated lower rates on bandwidth costs. 

 

Management expects to maintain cost of services revenue at between 50% and 60% of services revenue, including the Acquired Business, based on the mix of services revenue and as economies of scale are realized.

 

Cost of Equipment Revenue

 

Cost of equipment revenue decreased from $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 on lower revenue.  Cost of equipment revenue is directly variable with changes in equipment revenue.  Cost of equipment revenue as a percentage of equipment revenue increased from 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 97% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to an increase in the proportion of revenue which was sold on a cost recovery basis (shipping and replacement parts).

Selling, General and Administrative, including Stock-Based Compensation

 

Selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation, increased from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business accounted for $3.4 million of the total increase of $4.9 million in selling, general and administrative costs for the period.  The individual variances are due to the following:

 

·                  Wages and benefits increased from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.    The Acquired Business accounted for $2.0 million of the total increase of $2.9 million in wages and benefits for the period. The organic increase of $0.9 million was primarily related to the increase in employees to support the increased revenue and the Merger with the Acquired Business.  In conjunction with the Merger, the Company added senior management and provided market level compensation for the CEO.

 

·                  Stock-based compensation expense increased from zero for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  This increase was due to the assumption of convertible instruments in conjunction with the Merger and the Company granting convertible instruments to employees subsequent to the Merger.

 

·                  Marketing expenses increased from a nominal amount for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business accounted for $0.2 million of the total increase of $0.3 million in marketing expenses for the period.  The Acquired Business is more of a business-to-consumer focused business and incurs higher marketing expenses including search engine marketing and search engine optimization on the Internet.

 

·                  Professional fees increased from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily related to fees incurred in connection with public company reporting compliance.  In addition, the Company incurred $0.2 million for professional fees associated with the acquisition of INSINC.

 

·                  Other SG&A expenses increased from $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business accounted for $0.7 million of the total increase of $0.9 million for the period.

 

Equity in Loss of Affiliate

 

Equity in loss of KyLinTV decreased from a nominal amount for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease is as a result of the cumulative losses exceeding the full value of the Company’s investment in 2008.  Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment had been reduced to zero.  The Company still owns its equity position in the affiliate, however the Company is not required to fund any additional losses, and as such no further charges will be incurred.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.   The increase was due to amortization on assets acquired in the Merger ($0.8 million) and the increased capital assets required to support the increased revenue.

 

Unrealized Loss on Derivative

 

Unrealized loss on derivative increased from zero for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.   The increase was due to the adoption of ASC 815-40, effective January 1, 2009, which required the Company to fair value all convertible instruments denominated in a

currency other than the Company’s functional currency.  On January 1, 2009, the grant date fair value of warrants denominated in Canadian dollars of $2.5 million was reallocated from additional paid in capital and a derivative liability was recorded in the amount of $0.6 million with an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit of $1.9 million.  The difference between the fair value at September 30, 2009 of $3.6 million and the fair value at June 30, 2009 of $1.4 million resulted in an unrealized loss on derivative of $2.2 million.

Services Revenue

 

Services revenue includes revenue from subscribers, eCommerce and technology services.  Services revenue increased from $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is a combination of the organic growth in services revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our services revenue was $4.0 million.  The Acquired Business comprised $9.9 million of total services revenue for the period.

Table of Contents

 

Subscriber revenue increased from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is a combination of the growth in subscribers and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our subscriber revenue was $3.1 million.   Included in the organic increase was $2.5 in revenue from existing customers and $0.6 million in revenue generated from 19 new customers.  The Acquired Business comprised $6.3 million of total subscriber revenue for the period.

 

eCommerce revenue increased from zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business comprised all of eCommerce revenue for the period.

 

Technology services revenue increased from $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is a combination of the organic growth in technology services revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008. The organic growth in our technology services revenue was $0.9 million.   As new customers begin streaming video or develop their user interface, we earn technology services revenue.  This revenue is recognized over the life of the contractual relationship.  The Acquired Business comprised $1.1 million of total technology services revenue for the period.

 

Equipment Revenue

 

Equipment revenue decreased from $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in equipment revenue is a result of the uneven nature of the revenue stream; customers often place large single orders to meet minimum order requirements to manage the lead time between ordering and shipping and to minimize the related shipping costs.  The lead time on new orders is approximately 12 weeks from order to receipt.  The timing of specific orders is not consistent period over period.  We sell our STBs to customers, who in turn sell or give them to new users, and we also sell directly to users.  The demand for STBs is driven by new subscribers and the level of inventory carried by our customers.  Our customers do not have the right of return on purchased STBs.  Initial orders by new customers and new users will impact the trend of STB revenues.  The Company expects STB revenue to have a much slower growth rate than services revenue.  Services revenue is recurring (monthly) revenue whereas STB revenue is only from new customers and/or subscribers.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of Services Revenue

 

Cost of services revenue increased from $1.5 million or 38% of services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $9.2 million or 52% of services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This increase was a combination of the costs associated with increased revenue and the effect of the Merger on October 20, 2008.  The Acquired Business comprised $6.0 million of total costs of services revenue for the period.

 

Organic cost of services revenue increased from $1.5 million or 38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.2 million or 41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase was a result of increased revenue and higher costs for bandwidth due to higher usage by existing subscribers and additional costs relating to colocation and network fees. 

 

Management expects to maintain cost of services revenue at between 50% and 60% of services revenue, including the Acquired Business, based on the mix of services revenue and as economies of scale are realized.

 

Cost of Equipment Revenue

 

Cost of equipment revenue decreased from $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 on lower revenue.  Cost of equipment revenue is directly variable with changes in equipment revenue.  Cost of equipment revenue as a percentage of equipment revenue increased from 80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to an increase in the proportion of revenue which was sold on a cost recovery basis (shipping and replacement parts).

Selling, General and Administrative, including Stock-Based Compensation

 

Selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation, increased from $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business accounted for $10.7 million of the total $15.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative for the period.  The individual variances are due to the following:

 

·                  Wages and benefits increased from $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.    The Acquired Business accounted for $6.5 million of the total increase of $10.1 million in wages and benefits for the period. The organic increase of $3.6 million was primarily related to the increase in employees to support the increased revenue and the Merger with the Acquired Business.  In conjunction with the Merger, the Company added senior management and provided market level compensation for the CEO.

 

·                  Stock-based compensation expense increased from zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This increase was due to the assumption of convertible instruments in conjunction with the Merger and the Company granting convertible instruments to employees subsequent to the Merger.

 

·                  Marketing expenses increased from $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business accounted for $0.6 million of the total increase of $0.8 million in marketing expenses for the period.  The Acquired Business is more of a business-to-consumer focused business and incurs higher marketing expenses including search engine marketing and search engine optimization on the Internet.

 

·                  Professional fees increased from $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily related to fees incurred in connection with public company reporting compliance.  In addition, the Company incurred $0.2 million for professional fees associated with the acquisition of INSINC.

 

·                  Other SG&A expenses increased from $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Acquired Business accounted for $2.4 million of the total increase of $2.9 million for the period.

 

Equity in Loss of Affiliate

 

Equity in loss of KyLinTV decreased from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease is as a result of the cumulative losses exceeding the full value of the Company’s investment in 2008.  Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment had been reduced to zero.  The Company still owns its equity position in the affiliate, however the Company is not required to fund any additional losses, and as such no further charges will be incurred.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.   The increase was due to amortization on assets acquired in the Merger ($2.4 million) and the increased capital assets required to support the increased revenue.

 

Unrealized Loss on Derivative

 

Unrealized loss on derivative increased from zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.   The increase was due to the adoption of ASC 815-40.  The

difference between the fair value at September 30, 2009 of $3.6 million and the fair value at January 1, 2009 of $0.6 million resulted in an unrealized loss on derivative of $3.0 million.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of September 30, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $19.3 million and trade accounts receivable of $1.3 million. We do not have a credit facility.

 

At September 30, 2009, approximately 70% of our cash and cash equivalents were held in interest bearing bank accounts with a U.S. bank that received an A- rating by Standard and Poors and an A2 rating by Moody’s and 22% of our cash and cash equivalents  were held in bank accounts with two of the top five Canadian commercial banks.  The Company believes that these U.S. and Canadian financial institutions are secure notwithstanding the current global economy and that we will be able to access the remaining balance of bank deposits as these deposits are with large reputable banks.  Our investment policy is to invest in low risk short-term investments which are primarily term deposits.  We have not had a history of any defaults on these term deposits, nor do we expect any in the future given the short term to maturity of these investments.

 

Based on our current business plan and internal forecasts, and considering the risks that are present in the current global economy, we believe that cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company is still in the early stage of business.  From the Company’s inception it has incurred substantial net losses.  The Company continues to review its operating structure to reduce costs.  Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in or incorporated by reference in our AIF and our Form 10 in the sections titled “Risk Factors”.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s cash position decreased by $8.0 million.  The Company used $11.0 million to fund operations and $0.9 million to purchase fixed assets, offset by the impact of $3.9 million in other working capital changes.

 

Working Capital Requirements

 

The net working capital at September 30, 2009 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $15.4 million from the December 31, 2008 net working capital of $18.1 million. The decreased working capital is primarily due to funding operations and the fair value of the derivative liability on September 30, 2009.

 

Current assets at September 30, 2009 were $23.2 million, a decrease of $10.1 million from the December 31, 2008 balance of $33.3 million. The change is primarily due to a decrease in our cash and cash equivalents of $8.0 million.

 

Current liabilities at September 30, 2009 were $20.5 million, an increase of $5.3 million from the December 31, 2008 balance of $15.2 million.   The change is primarily due to the fair value of the derivative liability of $3.6 million.

 

Cash Flows

 

The Company’s business is still in the early stages, with only a few years of operating history.  As at September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of $19.3 million.  From the Company’s inception, it has incurred net losses and has an accumulated deficit of $42.3 million; management expects these losses to continue in the short term.  The Company will require expenditures of significant funds for marketing, building its subscriber management systems, programming and website development, maintaining adequate video streaming and database software, pursuing and maintaining channel distribution agreements with its channel partners, fees relating to acquiring and maintaining Internet streaming rights to its content and the construction and maintenance of the Company’s delivery infrastructure and office facilities.  In addition, under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement with INSINC, the Company paid Cdn$2.5 million in cash on October 31, 2009.  There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately be able to generate sufficient revenue or reduce its costs in the anticipated time frame to become profitable and have sustainable cash flows.

Table of Contents

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The funds were received from stock option exercises.

 

In the near future, the Company expects that it will continue to use its cash resources to fund working capital requirements.    The Company believes existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to satisfy normal working capital needs and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.  However, the Company may sell additional equity securities to further enhance its liquidity position, and the sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to its shareholders.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2009.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, taxes receivable, other receivables, deposits, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related parties, and deferred revenue.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount for which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The estimated fair value of our financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short maturity term of these financial instruments.

 

Risks associated with financial instruments

 

[i] Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency of the United States dollar.  The majority of the Company’s revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars, whereas a portion of its expenses are transacted in U.S. or Canadian dollars.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

 

[ii] Interest rate risk

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its invested cash and cash equivalents and its short-term investments.  The interest rates on these instruments are based on the bank’s rate and therefore are subject to change with the market.  The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its interest rate risk.

 

[iii] Credit risk

 

The Company sells its services to a variety of customers under various payment terms and therefore is exposed to credit risk.  The Company has adopted policies and procedures designed to limit this risk.  The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables.  The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable.

Investment in affiliate — KyLinTV

 

The Company records its investment in KyLinTV using the equity method.

 

From January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009, the Company’s equity interest in the affiliate was 17.1%.  As previously discussed, the Company also provides and charges KyLinTV for administrative and general corporate support.  Management has determined that as a result of the 17.1% equity interest combined with the services that the Company provides KyLinTV, the Company continues to have significant influence on the operating activities of KyLinTV; therefore, the Company continues to account for KyLinTV using the equity method of accounting for investment.

 

The Company’s proportionate share of the equity loss from KyLinTV has been accounted for as a charge on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.   Due to KyLinTV’s accumulated losses, the investment had been reduced to zero as at December 31, 2008.  No further charges will be recorded as the Company has no obligation to fund the losses of KyLinTV.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) as the single source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. GAAP. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place (the “Codification”). On the effective date of ASC 105, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and all other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. The provisions of ASC 105 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted ASC 105 in the third quarter of 2009. This pronouncement had no effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but impacted our financial reporting process by replacing all references to pre-Codification standards with references to the applicable Codification topic.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 amends guidance included within ASC Topic 605-25 to require an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple element arrangement.  The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation.  ASU 2009-13 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU 2009-13.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  This statement sets forth the circumstances under which

 

39



Table of Contents

 

an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements.  ASC 855 also requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.  This statement is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted ASC 855 during the second quarter of 2009.  The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 825, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim and annual reporting periods of publicly traded companies.  This interpretation is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 825 during the second quarter of 2009.  The adoption of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815-40).  One of the conclusions reached under ASC 815-40 was that an equity-linked financial instrument would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock if the strike price is denominated in a currency other than the issuer’s functional currency.  The conclusion reached under ASC 815-40 clarified the accounting treatment for these and certain other financial instruments.  ASC 815-40 specifies that a contract would not be treated as a derivative if it met the following conditions:  (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock; and (b) classified in shareholders’ equity in the Company’s statement of financial position.

 

As a result, the Company’s outstanding warrants denominated in Canadian dollars as detailed in note 11 are not considered to be indexed to our own stock because the exercise price is denominated in Canadian dollars and our functional currency is United States dollars and therefore have been treated as derivative financial instruments and recorded at their fair value as a liability.  All other outstanding convertible instruments are considered to be indexed to our own stock, because their exercise price is denominated in the same currency as our functional currency, and are included in shareholders’ equity.

 

In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued new Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs.  The new standard addresses when an internally developed intangible asset meets the criteria for recognition as an asset.  The section also issued amendments to Section 1000, Financial Statement Concepts.  These changes are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted, and have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2009.  The objectives of the changes are to reinforce a principle-based approach to the recognition of costs as assets and to clarify the application of the concept of matching revenues and expenses in Section 1000.  Collectively, these changes bring Canadian practice closer to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) by eliminating the practice of recognizing as assets a variety of start-up, pre-production and similar costs that do not meet the definition and recognition criteria of an asset.  There was no material effect on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting CICA Handbook Section 3064.

 

In February 2008, the CICA Accounting Standards Board confirmed that the changeover to IFRS from Canadian GAAP will be required for publicly accountable enterprises, effective for the interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  The Company became an SEC issuer effective June 8, 2009 and expects to continue to use U.S. GAAP until the date that IFRS is implemented in the United States, which is currently estimated to occur no sooner than 2014.

 

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

 

The Company has total shares outstanding as at November 10, 2009 of 116,554,340.  In addition, the Company has 29,041,000 outstanding options, SARs, restricted share units, warrants and retention warrants, which are each exchangeable for one Share upon exercise.  On September 25, 2009, 3,680,194 Shares that were being held in escrow were cancelled.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:

 

The Company maintains appropriate disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting (each as defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators) to ensure that information disclosed externally is complete, reliable and timely. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, or caused an evaluation under their direct supervision of, the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as at September 30, 2009, and have concluded that such DC&P and ICFR were appropriately designed and were operating effectively, except as outlined below.  See “Limitation on scope of design” below.

 

There were no changes to our ICFR during our last fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our ICFR.

 

Limitation on scope of design:

 

We have limited the scope of design of our internal controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to exclude controls, policies and procedures of NeuLion USA and its subsidiaries, which were acquired as part of the Merger.  The chart below presents the summary financial information of NeuLion USA.

The scope limitation is in accordance with section 3.3(1)(b) of NI 52-109 to which this MD&A relates, which allows an issuer to limit its design of DC&P and ICFR to exclude controls, policies and procedures of a business that the issuer acquired not more than 365 days prior to the end of the fiscal period.

 

Item 3.                                                           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4.                                                           Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

 

During our most recent fiscal quarter, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
