Item 1. Description of Business

General

MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. (MSGI or the Company) is developing proprietary solutions for commercial and governmental organizations. The Company is developing a global combination of innovative emerging businesses that leverage information and technology. The Company is headquartered in New York City where it serves the needs of counter-terrorism, public safety, and law enforcement and is developing new technologies in nanotechnology and alternative energy as a result of its recently formed relationship with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The Company’s Strategy

The Company seeks business and growth opportunities through strategic relationships and sub-contract relationships where its experience and expertise in coordinating and implementing security and other technologies may be employed.

At the current time, the MSGI strategy is focused on the collaboration between the Company and NASA in an effort to commercialize various revolutionary technologies developed by NASA in the fields of nanotechnology and alternative energy. The Company’s initial areas of focus are in the use of chemical sensors or nano-sensing technology and in the use of nanotechnologies geared towards scalable alternative energy solutions which may help provide more efficient operations in yielding lower electricity costs than conventional energy sources.

Under the partnership efforts with NASA, the Company plans to form a number of majority owned subsidiaries, each of which will hold the rights to a specific technology and each will also serve as a vehicle for investment capital. The Company will also function as a co-developer capacity with NASA and will collaborate with several academic institutions including Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University and the University of California, Berkley in these efforts.

Background

The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada in 1919.
 
The Company had acquired or formed several direct marketing and related companies. Due in part to decreased market demands and limited capital resources, the Company disposed or ceased operations of all such companies. The following acquisitions and dispositions occurred during the past four years:

Industry
 
The primary industries in which our companies have historically operated are homeland security and international public safety. In the United States and abroad, homeland security and public safety are not purely separate areas, but rather law enforcement, fire departments, civil defense organizations and medical response teams are a crucial segment of any crisis situation, and work together with multiple government agencies to manage and resolve emergency situations. Principal domestic client relationships included the US Secret Service, US Marshals Service, FBI, CIA and other commercial organizations including convention centers and major hotels.

The Company abruptly put the homeland security business on hold as a result of the breach of contracts between Hyundai, Apro and other enities and the Company. MSGI has since executed several Space Act Agreements with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) forming a partnership between MSGI and the NASA Ames Research Center for the purpose of technology transfer and near-term commercialization of NASA inventions.

The Company believes that its new relationship with NASA will serve to broaden its capacities in the areas of homeland security and public safety as well as diversify the range of products and services available and, thus, open the Company to new markets and industries.
 
Services Offered by MSGI and its Subsidiaries

Relationship with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration:

The Company’s collaborative relationship with NASA was begun in August 2009 with the execution of a Space Act Agreement (SAA) forming a partnership between MSGI and the Ames Research Center (ARC) located at Moffet Field in California. The purpose of this collaboration between MSGI and NASA is to develop new prototype chemical sensors using NASA’s nano-sensor technology to meet MSGI’s need in sensor commercialization in security, biomedical and other areas. This sensor technology platform could potentially be used in efforts such as chemical leak detection and hazardous material detection. MSGI intends to develop this technology for commercial applications, homeland security applications, and medical diagnostic applications for type I diabetes (acetone detection) at first and possibly other applications in future years. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in commercializing such applications.

In August 2009, the Company announced the formation of its first subsidiary for NASA based technology. The subsidiary, named Nanobeak Inc. (Nanobeak) is a nanotechnology company focused on carbon based chemical sensing for gas and organic vapor detection. Some potential space and terrestrial applications for this technology include cabin air monitoring onboard the Space Shuttle and future spacecraft, surveillance of global weather, forest fire detection and monitoring, radiation detection and various other critical capabilities. The commercial applications of these nanotech chemical sensors relate specifically to efforts in Homeland Security and defense, medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring and controls. Nanobeak seeks to offer products in these market sectors beginning in the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, but the timing of such offers may be affected by unforeseen difficulties in development and commercialization efforts. In September 2009, the Company announced that it is developing its first product derived from the NASA nanotechnology, a handheld diagnostic device designed for medical and environmental testing and detection using breakthroughs in nanotechnology and chemical sensing. Nanobeak intends to take the handheld sensor from prototype to commercial production and international distribution. The US Department of Homeland Security and the US Department of Defense have already provided more than $5 million in grant money to advance the efforts of NASA in developing working prototypes.

In September 2009, the Company announced the formation of its second subsidiary for NASA based technology. Andromeda Energy Inc. (Andromeda) will be focused on scalable alternative energy solutions employing NASA developed nanotechnology. These technologies operate more efficiently than current technologies and therefore yield significantly lower electricity costs per watt than conventional energy systems and sources. The Company has already been approached with potential partnerships in the planned deployment of this new technology, primarily from various major corporations located in the People’s Republic of China.

Former Relationships with Hyundai Syscomm Corp. and Apro Media Corp.:
 
Hyundai
 
In September and October of 2006, the Company entered into various agreements with Hyundai Syscomm Corp, a California Corporation, (“Hyundai”).  Under the License Agreement and the Subscription agreement, the Company provided for the sale of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon receipt of a $500,000 fee under the License Agreement. The three-year Sub-Contracting Agreement with Hyundai allows for MSGI and its affiliates to participate in contracts that Hyundai and/or its affiliates now have or may obtain hereafter, where the Company’s products and/or services for encrypted wired or wireless surveillance systems or perimeter security would enhance the value of the contract(s) to Hyundai or its affiliates. There have been no business transactions under the Sub-Contract or License agreements to date. The Company has subsequently named Hyundai as a defendant in a legal action taken in the State of California and currently views any and all contracts and agreements with Hyundai in breach.

There have been no business transactions under the Sub-Contract or License agreement as of June 30, 2010 or to date and the Company currently is not anticipating any in the near future. This business relationship has now ceased.

In May 2009, the Company engaged legal counsel to represent the Company in potential legal action against Hyundai and others. Subsequently, the Company filed suit in United States District Court, Northern District of California naming Hyundai, among others, as a defendant. The Company seeks restitution for breach of contract, among other allegations.

Apro
 
On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive sub-contract and distribution agreement with Apro Media Corp. for at least $105 million of expected sub-contracting business over seven years to provide commercial security services to a Fortune 100 defense contractor and/or other customers. Under the terms of the contract, MSGI will acquire components from Korea and deliver fully integrated security solutions at an average expected level of $15 million per year for the length of the seven-year engagement. The contract calls for gross profit margins estimated to be between 26% and 35% including a profit sharing arrangement with Apro Media, which will initially take the form of unregistered MSGI common stock, followed by a combination of stock and cash and eventually just cash. The Company has subsequently named Apro as a defendant in a legal action taken in the State of California and currently views any and all contracts and agreements with Apro in breach.

Per the terms of the sub-contract agreement with Apro, the Company was to compensate Apro with 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock when the sub-contract transactions resulted in $10.0 million of GAAP recognized revenue for the Company. During the year ended June 30, 2008 the Company recognized approximately $3.8 million in revenues resulting from activities under the sub-contract agreement which such revenues were subsequently reversed. In December 2007, the Company elected to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Apro pursuant to this agreement. The Company computed a fair value for a pro rata share of the remaining shares to be issued under that agreement, which was $62,336 at June 30, 2008, and was reflected as a liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2008.  A credit of $62,336 was realized to the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the year ended June 30, 2009, as reversal for this accrual, relative to the fact that the Company has initiated legal action against Apro and, as such, considers the transactions to be null and void. As such, the remaining shares will not be issued.  The total expense for the year ended June 30, 2008 related to shares both issued and issuable to Apro was approximately $1.1 million.

In addition, the Company had additional shipments and corresponding billings to clients of approximately $4.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2008, that was not directly attributable to the Apro sub-contract, but was as a result of direct and indirect referrals from Apro and entities related to Apro. These shipments have not been reported as revenue during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 due to issues surrounding collectibility of payment and other factors and therefore, these transactions did not meet the criteria for revenue recognition as of June 30, 2008 or to date. These shipments will also be recognized as revenue, as well as billings reflected as an asset, if the payments are received.  Inventory costs related to these transactions were reported on the balance sheet in “Costs of product shipped to customers for which revenue has not been recognized” and these costs have been fully reserved and written off as of June 30, 2009.

Subsequent to the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company negotiated an acceleration to the sub-contract agreements with Hirsch Capital Corp., the private equity firm operated both Hyundai and Apro. Under the accelerated terms, the Company expected to increase its business with Apro by supporting several of the largest commercial businesses in Korea with products and services. The Company also expects that this renewed relationship will bring additional sales to a certain Fortune 100 defense contractor as well. As part of this business expansion, the Company expected to become the beneficiary of various technology transfers including, but not limited to, Hi-Definition video surveillance systems, Hi-Definition digital video recording devices and emerging RFID technology.  The Company had $400,000 of product shipments to Hirsch Group, LLLP, an affiliate of this private equity firm, as well as has shipped an additional $4,000,000 of product under agreements and referrals from Hirsch Group, LLLP during fiscal 2008.  However, none of these shipments have been reported as revenue, as discussed above.  These transactions have not resulted in the realization of revenues or profits, and the relationships have effectively ceased.

In May 2009, the Company engaged legal counsel to represent the Company in potential legal action against Hyundai and others. Subsequently, the Company filed suit in United States District Court, Northern District of California naming Hyundai, among others, as a defendant. The Company seeks restitution for breach of contract, among other allegations.

Innalogic, LLC:
 
Innalogic LLC (Innalogic) is a wireless software product development firm that works with clients to custom-design technology products that meet specific user, functional and situational requirements. Innalogic is an operating subsidiary of MSGI, which was established in 2004. They are principally focused on the homeland security and surveillance industry in the United States and internationally.

Innalogic has a recognized core competency in an area of increasingly vital importance to security, delivering rich-media content (video, audio, biometric, sensor data, etc.) to wirelessly enabled mobile devices for public safety and security applications over wireless or wired networks.

Importantly, Innalogic’s wireless video applications help clients make the critical upgrade of CCTV video security systems from analog to digital technology. Innalogic software applications easily integrate with existing systems - camera or rich-media networks - and are specially designed to incorporate or integrate with new or replacement technologies as they come online.

Innalogic developed the Wireless Video deployment Package known as SAFETY WATCH  - a rapidly deployable, self-contained video surveillance product. It combines secure short-range broadband wireless networking, complete with state-of-the-art video cameras, including world- class command center and mobile surveillance software built upon the foundation of Network-Centric Warfare (NCW) concepts and adaptive architecture.

During the year ended June 30, 2010, there were no product sales by the Innalogic subsidiary.

On April 1, 2007 the Company and Innalogic, LLC entered into a non-exclusive License Agreement with the CODA Octopus Group, Inc. (CODA). This agreement allowed for CODA to market the Innalogic technology to its client base, sub-license the technology to its customers and distributors, use the technology for the purposes of demonstration to potential customers, sub-licensors and/or distributors and to further develop the source code of the technology as it sees fit. In return, CODA would pay a 20% royalty to MSGI from the sale of the Technology to its customers. CODA assumed certain development and operational activities of Innalogic through this relationship.

Currently, the Company is focusing on new business development and agreements under the Corporate office of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc.  While the Innalogic products are still current products of the Company, the Company does not expect any sales of these products in the immediate future, but there may be long-term opportunities.
 
Future Developments America, Inc. (FDA):
 
FDA is a currently inactive, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. FDA was founded by the same individuals who founded and owned Future Developments Limited (FDL), a Canadian company. As a result of a July 1, 2005 amendment to our agreements with the founders of FDA, the technology and intellectual property being developed at the time was transferred to FDL and we, through our subsidiary FDA, became a non-exclusive licensee in the United States of certain products developed by FDL and of other products developed by outside organizations. We also became entitled to receive royalties on U.S domestic sales of certain products by FDL. No such sales, earning any royalties, have occurred since inception of the amendment.
 
Currently, the Company is focusing on new business development and agreements and, while the FDL products are still current products of the Company, the Company does not expect any sales of these products in the near future. There may be some future long-term opportunities for this currently dormant subsidiary.

MSGI:

Client Base

The Company’s potential clients include private and public-sector organizations focused on homeland security, law enforcement, and military and intelligence operations that support anti-terrorism and national security interests, medical service providers, and energy service producers and providers. The firm’s clients will come from a broad range of sectors and industries, and include law enforcement agencies, federal/state/regional agencies and institutions, judicial organizations, oil/gas businesses, commercial properties, banking and financial institutions, hotels, casinos, retail, warehousing and transportation entities, recreational facilities and parks, environmental agencies, industrial firms, loss prevention/investigation agencies, disaster site surveillance firms, bodyguard services, property management, building contractors, construction companies, hospitals and clinics, health care service providers and energy producers and providers. Our ability to deliver our technology to customers may be hindered by our current liquidity and resource issues.

Competition

Our most recent business development efforts involve the new relationship with NASA. Because the nanotechnologies to be developed and marketed in conjunction with NASA are cutting-edge and newly emerging, it is difficult to determine exactly which other organizations will be our direct competitors in the various industries and markets in which we shall enter and perform.

In our historical business operations, there have been several companies deploying wireless video technologies and covert surveillance tools. Only a handful, however, are doing so with wireless product offerings aimed exclusively at the homeland security and public safety markets. It has been difficult to identify direct competitors of the Company in terms of the Company’s core competencies and basic market positioning. The competitors that come closest to mirroring the Company’s business model are Gans & Pugh Associates, Inc., a developer of wireless systems that employ traditional radio frequency technologies; Verint Systems, Inc., a provider of analytic software-based solutions for video security which competes against the Company in one of its service areas - assessing network-based security relative to Internet and data transmissions from multiple communications networks; and Vistascape, a provider of a security data management solution that integrates the monitoring and management of security hardware and software products.
 
Facilities

The Company leases all of its real property. Facilities for its headquarters are in New York City. The Company also leases space in San Francisco, California for use in its developing relationship with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Company believes that its existing facilities are in good condition and are adequate for its current needs, however, to the extent that the burgeoning relationship with NASA, we may need to seek additional facilities and resources. The Company currently leases the facilities for both its headquarters in New York City and its California office on a month-to-month basis, but expects to execute a long-term lease agreement in the near future.

Intellectual Property Rights

The Company relies upon its trade secret protection program and non-disclosure safeguards to protect its proprietary computer technologies, software applications and systems know-how. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into license agreements and contracts which specify terms and conditions prohibiting unauthorized reproduction or usage of the Company’s proprietary technologies and software applications. In addition, the Company generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, clients, potential clients and suppliers with access to sensitive information and limits the access to and distribution of its software documentation and other proprietary information. No assurance can be given that steps taken by the Company will be adequate to deter misuse or misappropriation of its proprietary rights or trade secret know-how. The Company believes that there is rapid technological change in its business and, as a result, legal protections generally afforded through patent protection for its products are less significant than the knowledge, experience and know-how of its employees, the frequency of product enhancements and the timeliness and quality of customer support in the usage of such products.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company recognizes research and development costs associated with certain product development activities undertaken at the NASA Ames Research Facility. Under the terms of the two executed Space Act Agreements, MSGI subsidizes the research and development efforts undertaken by NASA at the Ames Research Facility.  During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company realized expenses of approximately $760,000 for research and development, through its Nanobeak and Andromeda Energy subsidiaries. An additional amount of approximately $1.0 million of research and development is required based on the Company’s agreements with NASA. The Company incurred no such expenses during the year ended June 30, 2009.

Employees

At June 30, 2010, the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries employed three persons on a full-time basis. Additionally, the Company employed various organizations to perform certain investor relations, business development, financing and other general business practices on a consulting basis. We intend to hire additional personnel as the development of our business makes such action appropriate. Our employees are not represented by a labor union or other collectively bargained agreement.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following important factors, among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.
 
8

 
We cannot be certain of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company currently has severely limited capital resources and has incurred significant historical losses and negative cash flows from operations. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 we incurred a net loss of approximately $13.4 million, had cash outflows from operations of approximately $1.6 million and we expect to continue to generate significant losses and cash outflows from operations in the future.  In addition, as of June 30, 2010 we have a working capital deficit of approximately $26.6 million.  All of our approximately $15 million of outstanding debt instruments are either past due, due on demand or due with in the next 12 months, and the Company does not currently have the resources to pay such instruments. We currently have no active trade or business that will generate revenues and therefore the Company will need to raise additional capital to finance its obligations under the NASA SAA agreements and repay its existing debts. There can be no assurances that the Company can raise additional funds or such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. Failure to raise additional funds in the near term could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its business objectives.

We currently have no operating trade or business and may never reach profitability

In 2009 we ended our relationships with our only customers, Hyundai and Apro, and exited the security surveillance business.  At that time and through June 30, 2010, we had no business with which to replace the business we ceased.  Currently our operations consist of an R&D partnership with NASA in which we are attempting to develop new technologies in which to commercialize.  To date, we have yet to commercialize any of the products or technologies that are the subject of our partnership with NASA, nor are we certain of when or if we will be able to successfully produce a technology which we could commercialize.  We therefore cannot guarantee that we will ever develop a functional operating business and even should we be able to develop and commercialize a product in partnership with NASA, we cannot guarantee that that product will be profitable.  We therefore may never reach profitability.

We may be unable to continue our partnership with NASA

Our agreements with NASA require that we make substantial payments on a defined schedule to enable NASA to adequately budget and provide for the research and development work necessary under our SAA agreements. As of June 30, 2010, we currently are past due in making scheduled payments under both SAA agreements, in the amount of approximately $1 million.  To date NASA has accommodated our inability to make payments on schedule, however, NASA is under no contractual obligation to continue to do so and in the event that we continue to be late making scheduled payments, NASA at any point could terminate our SAA contracts, which would include a termination of our license to any technology under the SAA agreements and also could entail NASA no longer pursuing any further business with us.

We are running out of authorized shares our common stock

We have authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of our common stock.  At June 30, 2010 we had 73,674,371 shares issued or issuable. In addition at June 30, 2010 we had consulting agreements outstanding in which we committed to issuing a further 9,800,000 shares shortly after June 30, 2010.  Because the Company does not currently have an operating business, we are dependent upon our common stock and instruments convertible into our common stock to act as our currency.  We use our common stock and instruments convertible into it to compensate our consultants, to incentivize our debt holders to act in our best interest and sometimes to pay our employees.  In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 we issued 37.26 million shares and warrants for a further 1.2 million shares to consultants, issued 9.5 million shares under the Enable Exchange Agreement and issued approximately 1.6 million shares to entice lenders to lend to us or to forebear enforcement of default provisions against us.

Should we be unable to convince our stockholders to increase our authorized share capital, we could face significant problems in the upcoming fiscal year retaining and compensating our consultants, maintaining good working relationships with our current lenders and obtaining access to financing.  We also have instruments outstanding, in the form of convertible debt, warrants and options, which if converted would require us to issue approximately 99 million more shares which exceeds our current number of authorized shares.  Should a significant holder(s) of these instruments decide to exercise their instruments, we may be unable to accommodate them and face significant monetary penalties for failure to deliver the underlying common shares.

We compete against entities that have significantly greater name recognition and resources than we do, that may be able to respond to changes in customer requirements more quickly than we can and that are able to allocate greater resources to the marketing of their products.
 
The security industry is highly competitive and has become more so over the last several years as security issues and concerns have become a primary consideration at both government and private facilities worldwide. Competition is intense among a wide ranging and fragmented group of product and service providers, including security equipment manufacturers, providers of integrated security systems, systems integrators, consulting firms and engineering and design firms and others that provide individual elements of a system, some of which are larger than us and possess significantly greater name recognition, assets, personnel, sales and financial resources. These entities may be able to respond more quickly to changing market conditions by developing new products that meet customer requirements or are otherwise superior to our products and may be able to more effectively market their products than we can because of the financial and personnel resources they possess. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to distinguish ourselves in a competitive market. To the extent that we are unable to successfully compete against existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
 
 
Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and continuous improvements in products and required customer specifications. Due to the constant changes in our markets, our future success depends on our ability to improve our manufacturing processes, improve existing products and develop new products.
 
The commercialization of new products involves substantial expenditures in research and development, production and marketing. We may be unable to successfully design or manufacture these new products and may have difficulty penetrating new markets. Because it is generally not possible to predict the amount of time required and the costs involved in achieving certain research, development and engineering objectives, actual development costs may exceed budgeted amounts and estimated product development schedules may be extended. Our business may be materially and adversely affected if:
 
we are unable to improve our existing products on a timely basis;
 
our new products are not introduced on a timely basis;
 
we incur budget overruns or delays in our research and development efforts; or
 
our new products experience reliability or quality problems.
 
 
The focus of our key management staff may be diverted by efforts in the legal actions against Apro, Huyndai and others.
 
 The Company has recently engaged legal representation and has filed suit against Apro, Hyundai and certain other entities and individuals in an effort to recover damages to MSGI resulting from the alleged actions by these companies and individuals. In this effort,  the management staff may be placed in a situation where its attention is diverted from development and commercialization efforts with NASA to the requirements of these legal proceedings.
 
 
Our services and reputation may be adversely affected by product defects or inadequate performance.
 
Management believes that we will offer state-of-the art products that are reliable and competitively priced. In the event that our products do not perform to specifications or are defective in any way, our reputation may be materially adversely affected and we may suffer a loss of business and a corresponding loss in revenues.
 
 
If we are unable to retain key executives or hire new qualified personnel, our business will be adversely affected.
 
We rely on our officers and key employees and their expertise.  The loss of the services of any of these individuals may materially and adversely affect our ability to pursue our current business strategy.
 
 
Our relationship with NASA may not develop as we have expected, which may cause the Company to lose all or a portion of our investment.
 
Our collaboration with NASA may be jeopardized if we have difficulty in assimilating the personnel, operations, technology and software with our newly formed subsidiaries. In addition, the key personnel of NASA or other potential partners may decide to leave their respective companies and positions.  If we make other types of acquisitions, we could have difficulty in integrating the acquired products, services or technologies into our operations.  These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.

We may face risks associated with potential acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships or other ventures, including whether such transactions can be located, completed and the other party integrated with our business on favorable terms.
 
Although the Company continues to devote significant efforts to improving its current operations and profitability, the success of the Company's business strategy may depend upon the acquisition of complimentary businesses. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in identifying and acquiring such businesses or that any such acquisitions, if consummated, will result in operating profits. In addition, any additional equity financing required in connection with such acquisitions may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing may impose substantial additional restrictions on the Company's ability to operate and raise capital. In addition, the negotiation of potential acquisitions may require management to divert its time and resources away from the Company's operations.
 
The Company periodically evaluates potential acquisition opportunities, particularly those that could be material in size and scope. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including:
 
the focus of management's attention on the assimilation of the acquired companies and their employees and on the management of expanding operations;
 
the incorporation of acquired businesses into the Company's service line and methodologies;
 
the increasing demands on the Company's operational systems;
 
adverse effects on the Company's reported operating results;
 
the amortization of acquired intangible assets; and
 
the loss of key employees and the difficulty of presenting a unified corporate image.
 
 
We may have problems raising money we need in the future.
 
We will require additional capital, especially in light of our recent business developments. We may, from time to time, seek additional funding through public or private financing, including debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that adequate funding will be available as needed or, if it is available, that it will be on acceptable terms. If additional financing is required, the terms of the financing may be adverse to the interests of existing stockholders, including the possibility of substantially diluting their ownership position.
 
 
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract management.
 
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Securities Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting.  These requirements necessitate that the Company have adequate accounting and internal audit staffing in order to ensure that compliance is achieved and maintained. The Company does not currently have any dedicated internal audit staff and current internal audit capabilities are limited.  In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight will be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, as we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge, or engage appropriate consulting services in order to reach and maintain compliance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely fashion.
 
 
We may have errors in our Form 10-K
 
             The Company’s review of its internal control over financial reporting identified material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
11

 
The price of our stock has been volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile, experiencing wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations may be triggered by:
 
differences between our actual or forecasted operating results and the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
 
announcements regarding our products, services or technologies;
 
announcements regarding the products, services or technologies of our competitors;
 
developments relating to our patents or proprietary rights;
 
specific conditions affecting the electronic surveillance industry;
 
sales of our common stock into the public market;
 
general market conditions; and
 
other factors.
 
In recent years the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations which have particularly impacted the market prices of equity securities. Some of these fluctuations appear unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of many companies. Future market movements may adversely affect the market price of our stock.
 
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be liable for infringing the intellectual property rights of others.
 
Our success depends in part on our intellectual property rights and our ability to protect such rights under applicable patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws. We seek to protect the intellectual property rights underlying our products and services by filing applications and registrations, as appropriate, and through our agreements with our employees, suppliers, customers and partners. However, the measures we have adopted to protect our intellectual property rights may not prevent infringement or misappropriation of our technology or trade secrets. A further risk is introduced by the fact that many legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of certain proprietary rights in the context of the Internet industry currently are not resolved.
 
Historically, we have licensed certain components of our products and services from third parties. Our failure to maintain such licenses, or to find replacement products or services in a timely and cost effective manner, may damage our business and results of operations. Although we believe our products and information systems do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us. From time to time we have been, and we expect to continue to be, subject to claims in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of our alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties. Any such claims could damage our business and results of operations by:
 
subjecting us to significant liability for damages;
 
resulting in invalidation of our proprietary rights;
 
being time-consuming and expensive to defend even if such claims are not meritorious; and
 
resulting in the diversion of management time and attention.
 
Even if we prevail with respect to the claims, litigation could be time-consuming and expensive to defend, and could result in the diversion of our time and attention. Any claims from third parties also may result in limitations on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims unless we are able to enter into agreements with the third parties making such claims.
 
12

 
There is a limited market for “penny stocks” such as our common stock.
 
Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” because, among other things, its trading price is below $5.00 per share. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares. In addition, since our common stock has been traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of our common stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price. Being a penny stock also could limit the liquidity of our common stock and limit the coverage of our stock by analysts.
 
Future sales of our shares could adversely affect its stock price.
 
As of October 31, 2010, there were 82,424,371 shares of our common stock outstanding, of which approximately 75,114,000 shares are freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act or are eligible for sale in the public market without regard to the availability of current public information, volume limitations, manner of sale restrictions, or notice requirement under Rule 144(k), and does not include any shares held by or purchased from persons deemed to be our "affiliates" which are subject to certain resale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining shares of common stock outstanding are eligible for sale pursuant to rule 144 under the Securities Act. Since June 30, 2010, the Company has issued 8,750,000 shares of common stock, all of which were issued to a variety of service providers for services rendered or to be rendered.

Item 2. Properties

The Company is headquartered in New York City where it leases and maintains approximately 1,200 square feet of office space, which is equipped to fully meet the needs of our corporate finance office. This lease runs on a month-to-month basis with a monthly rent of $9,500. The Company also leases approximately 1,000 square feet of space for office use in San Francisco. This lease runs on a monthly basis with a monthly rent of $3,780.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
Certain legal actions in the normal course of business are pending to which the Company is a party. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal matters will have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In May 2009, the Company engaged the law firm of GCA Law Partners LLP, of Mountain View, California, to represent us in possible action against Hyundai Syscomm Corp., Apro Media Corp., Hirsch Capital Corp. and other entities and individuals. Subsequently, the Company filed suit in United States District Court, Northern District of California, alleging, among other faults, fraud, breach of contract and unfair business practices. The Company seeks financial relief and compensation for the alleged actions of the parties named in the action. The engagement agreement calls for GCA to be compensated for all fees incurred on a contingent basis, pending outcome of the lawsuit, and, further, calls for the Company to issue 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company to each of the two partners managing the legal proceedings.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, GCA Law Partners filed a motion to be dismissed as counsel for the Company and formally withdrew from the proceedings. This action was not due to any foreseen difficulties with the Company’s case against the defendants, but rather was the result of the Company’s currently inability to remit cash compensation to the firm on a timely basis. The Company has engaged the assistance of alternative legal counsel and the case is proceeding.

Item 6. Select Financial Data

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. This should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, included in this Form 10-K. The following is a brief description of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by the Company.

The significant accounting policies that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
 
 
·
Equity based compensation

 
·
Debt instruments and the features / instruments contained therein

 
·
Derivative liabilities

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Our senior management has reviewed the Company's critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements relate to the carrying amount and amortization of long lived assets, deferred tax valuation allowance, valuation of stock options, warrants and debt features and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates
 
14

 
Equity Based Compensation:

The Company follows FASB ASC 718 in accounting for all share-based payments to employees, directors or others. This Statement requires that the cost resulting from all share based payment transactions are recognized in the financial statements of the Company. That cost will be measured based on the fair market value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

Debt instruments, and the features/instruments contained therein:

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of its associated debt instrument. The Company evaluates the terms of the debt instruments to determine if any embedded derivatives or beneficial conversion features exist. The Company allocates the aggregate proceeds of the notes payable between the warrants and the notes based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the warrants is calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company is amortizing the resultant discount or other features over the term of the notes through its earliest maturity date using the effective interest method. Under this method, the interest expense recognized each period will increase significantly as the instrument approaches its maturity date.  If the maturity of the debt is accelerated because of defaults or conversions, then the amortization is accelerated.  The Company obtained waivers of the conversion price and exercise price reset provisions and cross default features in certain of the Company’s debt and warrant agreements for all of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and for the first quarter of fiscal 2011

Derivative liabilites:

Beginning in July 2009, the Company had convertible debt, accrued interest, contractually issuable shares, options and warrants that if converted into common stock shares would exceed the amount of the Company’s authorized common shares.
As a result, a derivative liability is recorded for the shares issuable which exceeded the authorized number of common shares

Overview

To facilitate an analysis of MSGI operating results, certain significant events should be considered.

NASA
 
In August 2009, the Company announced that it had executed two Space Act Agreements with NASA forming a partnership between MSGI and the Ames Research Center (ARC) located in Moffet Field, California. The purpose of this collaboration between MSGI and NASA is to commercialize various revolutionary technologies developed by NASA in the fields of nanotechnology and alternative energy. The Company’s initial area of focus is to be on the use of chemical sensors or nano-sensing technology. These wired and wireless detection systems were first developed for space exploration in 2007 and 2008 for experiments carried out on the Space Shuttle Endeavor. The Company intends to form a number of majority owned subsidiaries, each of which will hold the rights to a specific technology and also serve as the vehicle for investment capital.

In August 2009, the Company announced that it had formed its first subsidiary for NASA based technology. This new subsidiary, named Nanobeak Inc., is a nanotechnology company focused on carbon based chemical sensing for gas and organic vapor detection – effectively electronic sniffing. NASA developed these Nano Chemical Sensors for space missions to increase scientific measurement capabilities with less mass and lower power requirements. The potential space and terrestrial applications include cabin air monitoring onboard the Space Shuttle, surveillance of global weather, forest fire monitoring, radiation detection, and various other mission critical capabilities. This technology was developed at the NASA Ames Research Center located in Moffet Field, California. The commercial applications of these Nano Chemical Sensors relate specifically to Homeland Security and Defense, Medical Diagnoses, Environmental Monitoring and Process Control. Nanobeak seeks to offer products in each of these sectors beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, but timing of these efforts cannot be assured.

In September 2009, the Company announced that it had formed its second subsidiary for NASA based technology. The subsidiary is named Andromeda Energy Inc. and it is a nanotechnology company focused on scalable alternative energy solutions that operate more efficiently, and therefore yield significantly lower electricity cost per watt than conventional energy sources. The Company is in receipt of several expressions of interest for partnerships in the planned deployment of this new technology from major corporations located in the People’s Republic of China.
 
15

 
Hyundai
 
In September and October of 2006, the Company entered into various agreements with Hyundai Syscomm Corp, a California Corporation, (“Hyundai”).  Under the License Agreement and the Subscription agreement, the Company provided for the sale of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon receipt of a $500,000 fee under the License Agreement. The three-year Sub-Contracting Agreement with Hyundai allows for MSGI and its affiliates to participate in contracts that Hyundai and/or its affiliates now have or may obtain hereafter, where the Company’s products and/or services for encrypted wired or wireless surveillance systems or perimeter security would enhance the value of the contract(s) to Hyundai or its affiliates. There have been no business transactions under the Sub-Contract or License agreements to date. The Company has subsequently named Hyundai as a defendant in a legal action taken in the State of California and currently views any and all contracts and agreements with Hyundai in breach.

Apro Media
 
On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive sub-contract and distribution agreement with Apro Media Corp. for at least $105 million of expected sub-contracting business over seven years to provide commercial security services to a Fortune 100 defense contractor and/or other customers. Under the terms of the contract, MSGI was to acquire components from Korea and deliver fully integrated security solutions at an average expected level of $15 million per year for the length of the seven-year engagement. The contract called for gross profit margins estimated to be between 26% and 35% including a profit sharing arrangement with Apro Media, which will initially take the form of unregistered MSGI common stock, followed by a combination of stock and cash and eventually just cash. The Company has subsequently named Apro as a defendant in a legal action taken in the State of California and currently views any and all contracts and agreements with Apro in breach.

Stock Compensation

During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company entered into several business development, investor relations and consulting and advisory agreements with separate service providers. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company has committed to issue shares of common stock in lieu of cash in consideration for the services provided and to be provided by these individual firms. As June 30, 2010, the Company has issued approximately 37.7 million shares of common stock in lieu of various categories of cash compensation for services rendered and to be rendered by the firms. Such services include, but are not be limited to, investor relations, identification of potential providers of equity or hybrid financing, the identification of strategic or joint-venture and licensing partners, the identification of merger and/or acquisition candidates, the provision of general business advice, the overview of governmental procurement programs, the preparation of disclosure, marketing and promotional materials.

Major recent financing transactions

In July 2009, the Company executed a NASA Funding Promissory Note in the amount of $240,004 with a lender who also holds a promissory note from December 2007. The new promissory note was executed in order to enable the Company to meet its obligations under a certain Space Act Agreement, which had been entered into with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The note bears interest at 25% and matured on August 30, 2009. In addition, the Company was obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock to the lender as additional consideration to enter into the note agreement. The shares were issued to the lender in September 2009. As of the date of this filing, the principal balance and accrued interest has not yet been paid to the lender. Although the note is technically in default as of the date of this filing, the lender has made no formal claim of default and the Company is currently in negotiations with the lender for extension of the terms.

In March 2010, the Company entered into a series of 10% convertible promissory notes for an aggregate of $650,000. Closing costs of approximately $81,000 were paid from the proceeds, providing a net of approximately $569,000. These notes carry a maturity life of one year from the date of issuance.

In June 2010, the Company entered into a series of 10% convertible promissory notes for an aggregate of $300,000. Closing costs of approximately $10,000 were paid from the proceeds, providing a net of approximately $290,000. These notes carry a maturity life of one year from the date of issuance.

During 2010 and 2009, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $674,000 and $167,000 of advances from a certain corporate officer, which have no stated interest rate or maturity date.

Results of Operations Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

For the year ended June 30, 2010 (the Current Period), the Company realized no revenues.
 
16

 
For the year ended June 30, 2009 (the Prior Period), the Company realized revenues in the amount of $282,000 which was generated from providing consulting services.

Costs of goods sold of approximately $4.1 million in the Prior Period were the result of the Company recording a reserve for potential loss in recognition of potential recovery issues surrounding costs associated with product shipped to customers during the fiscal year ended Jun 30, 2008 for which revenue has not yet been recognized due to recognition criteria on the transactions having not been met. There were no such costs realized during the Current Period.

Research and development expenses of approximately $760,000 were incurred during the Current Period. These expenses were paid to NASA as reimbursement for research and development costs incurred by NASA under certain Space Act Agreements, which have been executed with the Company. There were no such costs in the Prior Period.
 
Salaries and benefits of approximately $694,000 in the Current Period decreased by approximately $406,000 from salaries and benefits of approximately $1.1 million in the Prior Period. Salaries and benefits decreased primarily due to one-time adjustments to accruals of additional payroll taxes, penalties and interest booked in the Prior Period by the Company, which were not realized during the Current Period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.9 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $2.5 million from comparable expenses of $1.4 million in the Prior Period. The increase is due primarily to the cost of shares and warrants issued to various consultants for services, which resulted in an increase in consulting expenses of approximately $2.8 million versus the Prior Period, offset by decreases in other various expenses such as rent and travel related costs.

During the Current Period, the Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $13,000, which
was in line with comparable expenses of approximately 15,000 in the Prior Period.

Interest expense of approximately $9.2 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $6.5 million from interest expense of approximately $2.7 million in the Prior Period. This increase is due primarily to an increase in non-cash interest expenses derived from the amortization of certain debt discounts as well as from interest accrued on new debt instruments issued during the current period.

During the Current Period, the Company realized a loss on the investment in Current Technology Corp. of approximately $1.2 million. As of June 30, 2010, the Company owns 15 million shares of the common stock of Current Technology, which represents approximately 10.6% ownership of its outstanding common stock.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company determined that the fall in the value based on the trading price of the stock of Current Technology was an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of its investment. The Company recorded an impairment of $1.2 million to reduce its investment to the trading price of Current Technology as of June 30, 2010.
 
During the Current Period, the Company realized a gain on change in certain derivative liabilities of approximately $2.4 million. This gain represents an adjustment to the derivative liability related to the number of common stock shares, which would exceed the authorized number of common stock shares, if convertible debt and equity instruments were exercised and converted into common stock, based on fair value calculated by Black-Scholes as of June 30, 2010.

During the Prior Period, the Company recognized expenses for adjustments to the fair market value of certain put options of $150,000. These expenses represent the adjustment to the fair market value of the put options as of August 22, 2008 on which date the put options were redeemed and subsequently cancelled.  As such, there were no such expenses in the Current Period.

During the Prior Period, the Company recognized a gain on the securities exchange agreement of $1.7 million. This gain is the result of the redemption and subsequent cancellation of all put options, Series H Preferred Stock and certain related warrants held by Enable on August 22, 2008 and the related issuance by us of the new $4 million convertible note, a $1 million cash payment and the issuance of 20 million warrants for shares of common stock of Current Technology Corporation. There was no such gain recognized in the Current Period.

Our provision for income taxes is minimal and primarily due to state and local taxes incurred on taxable income or equity at the operating subsidiary level, which cannot be offset by losses incurred at the parent company level or other operating subsidiaries. The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated during the carry forward period to utilize the deferred tax assets.
 
17

 
The Company has not filed income tax returns or payroll tax returns for three and four years, respectively.

As a result of the above, net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $13.4 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $5.4 million over comparable net loss of $8.0 million in the Prior Period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Financial Reporting Release No. 61, which was released by the SEC, requires all companies to include a discussion to address, among other things, liquidity, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and commercial commitments. The Company currently does not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has funded its operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions primarily through private placements of equity and debt transactions. The Company currently has limited capital resources, has incurred significant historical losses and negative cash flows from operations and has limited current revenues. At June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $161,000 in cash and no accounts receivable. The Company believes that funds on hand combined with funds that will be available from its various operations will not be adequate to finance its operations and enable the Company to meet its financial obligations and payments under its convertible notes and promissory notes for the next twelve months. All of our promissory notes and other notes payable are currently either past due or due within the next 12 months.  There are no assurances that any further capital raising transactions will be consummated. Although certain transactions have been successfully closed in the past, failure of our operations to generate sufficient future cash flow and failure to consummate our strategic transactions or raise additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its business objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern
 
Analysis of cash flows during fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

The Company realized a net loss of approximately $13.4 and $8.0 million in the Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. The net loss includes approximately $11.8 million and $6.7 million of non-cash charges to our statement of operations in the Current and Prior Periods, respectively.  Cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.6 and $1.3 million in the Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.   In the Current Period, our significant cash expenses were approximately $500,000 under the NASA SAA Agreements, $200,000 for rent, $100,000 for travel and entertainment most of which was incurred in attempting to raise additional equity and debt financing and another $800,000 in general and administrative costs ranging from consultants, to lawyers to insurance and other costs.  As of June 30, 2010, we currently owe approximately $1 million under the NASA SAA Agreements.

Because of the fact that we had very limited cash resources, we utilized our stock as our currency in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, issuing 32.6 million shares to consultants, 9.5 million shares to Enable under a warrant exchange agreement and a further 1.6 million shares to lenders and others as inducement to lend us additional funds and to forego enforcement of certain provisions relating to cross default and resets of conversion and or exercise prices.  We expect to continue to use our stock as our currency as we have a limited ability to raise new capital until such time as we can demonstrate that we can build a viable new business from our relationship with NASA.
 
During the Current Period, the Company realized net cash of approximately $1.8 million from financing activities related primarily from proceeds from convertible promissory notes and advances from a certain corporate officer.  In the Prior Period, the Company realized net cash of approximately $1.4 million from financing activities, gained from proceeds received from convertible notes payable, advances from a certain corporate officer and proceeds from the release of restricted cash accounts.

The exercise price of the Warrants is $0.15 per share.

Associated closing costs, legal fees and various reimbursable expenses totaling approximately $81,000 are included in deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the one-year term of the notes.

Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in connection with these notes was approximately $21,000 and $0, respectively.

The exercise price of the Warrants is $0.10 per share.

The June Notes and warrants contain reset provisions, such that should the Company issue any common share or instrument convertible into any common share at a price lower than the conversion or exercise then in effect than the exercise price and conversion price reset to that lower price.

8% Debentures
 
On May 21, 2007, MSGI entered into a private placement with several institutional investors and issued 8% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the 8% Debentures), of which $4,000,000 is currently outstanding with the remaining principal balance having been converted into shares of common stock during fiscal 2008.

The 8% Debentures have a maturity date of May 21, 2010 and, although technically in default, no such default has been formally claimed by the current holders of the Debentures.

Payments of principal and accrued interest under the Debentures are not due until the maturity date. The conversion price of the 8% Debentures is currently at $0.25.

On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes, which effected the anti-dilution provision of these Debentures. The conversion price of the Debentures was reduced from $0.50 to $0.25.

The conversion price of the 6% April Notes is currently at $0.25. It is expected that the shares will be issued to the holders sometime during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

As a result of a conversion transaction of the Callable Secured Convertible 8% Notes and the 6% Notes converted above, anti-dilution provisions of the April 6% Notes were triggered. The conversion price of the April 6% Notes was reduced from a variable conversion rate noted above to a fixed rate of $0.50.
On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes, which effected the anti-dilution provision of these April Notes. The conversion price of the April Notes was reduced from $0.50 to $0.25.

Convertible Term Notes payable
 
On December 13, 2007, the Company entered into four short-term notes with private institutional lenders. These promissory notes provided proceeds totaling $2.86 million to the Company. The proceeds of these notes were used to purchase inventory. The notes carry a variable rate of interest based on the prime rate plus two percent. These notes had an original maturity date of April 15, 2008. During February 2010, one of the lenders extended an additional $20,000 to the Company with this amount being added to the already then outstanding balance of one of the existing notes. These notes were not repaid on this date and the terms were amended at several different dates to extend them to maturity dates of February 28, 2009, March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2009. While the notes payable are technically in default at this time, neither of the lenders have claimed default on the notes.

Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to the lenders in conjunction with these notes. The warrants have a term of 5 years and carry an exercise price of $1.38 per share.

Between April 30, 2008 and April 1, 2009, the Company executed a series of Amendments to the Term Notes, which extended the payment terms for the term notes through February 28, 2009 for one lender, March 31, 2009 for one lender, and December 31, 2009 for the remaining two lenders.  Due to the default event, commencing on April 15, 2008, the interest rate is now at the default interest rate of 18%.  Also, two of the holders now have the right to convert the note at a rate of $0.51 per share, and the other two holders have the right to convert the note at a rate of $0.25 per share.

In addition, the terms of certain of the Amendments to the Loan Agreements called for the Company to issue five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to certain group lenders each week beginning May 1, 2008 and continuing for each week that the principal balance of the term notes remains outstanding. These warrants are to be issued with an exercise price set at the greater of market value on the date of issuance or $0.50 per share.  As of June 30, 2008, a total of 284,717 warrants were issued to the note holders, 33,218 warrants with an exercise price at $0.60 per share and the remaining at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  These warrants were subsequently cancelled with the October 2008 addendum and replaced with other warrants and stock issued.  In addition, there were 520,000 shares of common stock issued in fiscal 2008 in connection with these addendums.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, a total of 715,283 additional warrants were issued to the note holders, all with an exercise price of $0.50.  These warrants were subsequently cancelled with the October 2008 addendum, as noted below.  In addition, other group lenders received shares of common stock of the Company instead of warrants under the Amendments.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company entered into additional addendum agreements with three out of four lenders with regard to their respectively held Notes, which terminated all warrants to purchase common stock issued under previous addendum agreements, which aggregated 1,000,000 warrants issued under those previous addendum agreements, and, in their place, issued new warrants and additional shares of common stock. At execution of the addendums, the Company issued 378,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 378,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50. The Company issued an additional 252,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 252,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.50, between the date of the agreement and December 31, 2008.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company entered into additional addendum agreements with three out of four lenders with regard to their respectively held Notes, which issued new warrants and additional shares of common stock and extended the maturity date to March 31, 2009. The Company issued an additional 204,420 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 204,420 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of the greater of $0.50 or market value on the date of grant. Effective February 1, 2009, the Company entered into an additional addendum agreement with the fourth lender with regard to its held Note, which issued 400,000 shares of common stock to the lender and extended the maturity date of this Note to February 28, 2009.  Effective April 1, 2009, the Company entered into additional addendum agreements with two out of four lenders with regard to their respectively held Notes, which issued new warrants and additional shares of common stock and extended the maturity date to December 31, 2009.  The Company issued an additional 221,195 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 221,195 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of the greater of $0.25 or market value on the date of the grant for the period April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.
 
23

 
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 92,400 warrants at an exercise price of $0.25 and 92,400 shares of common stock.  The stock was determined to have a fair value of $7,707, based upon the fair market value of the common stock on each date issued.  The warrants were determined to have a value of $6,953. The warrants were fair valued, at each warrant issuance, using the Black-Scholes model.

In February 2010, the exercise price of 326,486 of the previously issued warrants was further reduced from $0.25 per shares to $0.15 per share as an incentive for one of the lenders to provide the Company with an additional $20,000 in cash.

During March 2010, the holders certain of these convertible promissory notes provided the Company with letters of agreement that the various notes shall be extinguished and that the principal balances of these notes of approximately $1.9 million, plus any and all accrued interest thereon, would be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at an exchange rate of $0.20 per share.  Further, it was agreed that these shares will be locked up and will not be eligible for trading until at least December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the exchange shares have not been issued to the lenders by the Company and the notes will remain reported as debt until such time as said shares are issued. It is expected that the shares will be issued to the lenders sometime during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.
 
10% Convertible Term Notes payable
 
On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into three convertible promissory notes with Enable which provided the Company with gross proceeds of $250,000. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% annually and are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.25 per share. The notes had a maturity date of June 17, 2009.  As an inducement to Enable to enter into the Convertible Term Notes, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement with Enable. The remaining terms of the 10% notes carry the same provisions as the 8% Debentures. Due to the default event, commencing on June 17, 2009, the interest rate is now at the default rate of 18%.  While the notes are technically in default at June 30, 2010, the lender has made no claim of default.

The note holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the notes and warrants, specifically those pertaining to cross default and the ability of the conversion price and exercise price of the notes and warrants, respectively, to reset based on future equity issuances.  The waivers covered the entire year ended June 30, 2010 and the Company obtained a further waiver through October 1, 2010.

On October 18, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic Partnership with Attonbitus Development Inc. As part of this relationship, Attonbitus agreed to purchase all of the 10% Notes principal and accrued interest with the intent to convert the value of the debt into a series of investments in various MSGI operating subsidiaries, primarily those subsidiaries related to the NASA technologies.

25% Convertible Term Notes payable
 
In July 2009, the Company executed a NASA Funding Promissory Note in the amount of $240,004 with a lender who also holds a promissory note from December 2007. The new promissory note was executed in order to enable the Company to meet its obligations under a certain Space Act Agreement, which had been entered into with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The note bears interest at 25% and matured on August 30, 2009. In addition, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the lender as additional consideration to enter into the note agreement. The shares were issued to the lender in September 2009. As of June 30, 2010, and through the date of this filing, the principal balance and accrued interest has not yet been paid to the lender. Although the note is technically in default as of the date of this filing, the lender has not made any claim of default.

There is no interest expense associated with this advanced funding and this is to be repaid upon the closing of any adequately successful funding event or upon the collection of the Apro Media related accounts receivable, which has not yet occurred. It is also noted by the Company that this certain corporate officer is owed approximately $697,000 in back due compensation as of the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
  of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. MSGI Security Solutions, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and negative cash flows from operations, and has a substantial amount of notes payable due on demand or within the next twelve months and has very limited capital resources, all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MSGI SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. LIQUIDITY AND COMPANY OVERVIEW:

Company Overview:

MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. (MSGI, we, us or the Company) is developing proprietary solutions for commercial and governmental organizations. The Company is developing a global combination of innovative emerging businesses that leverage information and technology. The Company is headquartered in New York City where it will be able to serve the needs of counter-terrorism, public safety, and law enforcement.

At the current time, the MSGI strategy is focused on the collaboration between the Company and NASA in an effort to commercialize various revolutionary technologies developed by NASA in the fields of nanotechnology and alternative energy. The Company’s initial areas of focus are in the use of chemical sensors or nano-sensing technology and in the use of nanotechnologies geared towards scalable alternative energy solutions which may help provide more efficient operations in yielding lower electricity costs than conventional energy sources.

Under the partnership efforts with NASA, the Company plans to form a number of majority owned subsidiaries, each of which will hold the rights to a specific technology and each will also serve as a vehicle for investment capital. The Company will also function as a co-developer capacity with NASA and will collaborate with several academic institutions including Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University and the University of California, Berkley in these efforts.

In August 2009, the Company announced the formation of its first subsidiary for NASA based technology. The subsidiary, named Nanobeak Inc. (Nanobeak) is a nanotechnology company focused on carbon based chemical sending for gas and organic vapor detection. Some potential space and terrestrial applications for this technology include cabin air monitoring onboard the Space Shuttle and future spacecraft, surveillance of global weather, forest fire detection and monitoring, radiation detection and various other critical capabilities. The commercial applications of these nanotech chemical sensors relate specifically to efforts in Homeland Security and defense, medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring and controls. Nanobeak seeks to offer products in each of these market sectors beginning in the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, but the timing of these efforts can not be assured.

In September 2009, the Company announced the formation of its second subsidiary for NASA based technology. Andromeda Energy Inc. (Andromeda) will be focused on scalable alternative energy solutions employing NASA developed nanotechnology. These technologies operate more efficiently than current technologies and therefore yield significantly lower electricity costs per watt than conventional energy systems and sources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Historically, the Company has funded its operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions primarily through private placements of equity and debt transactions. The Company currently has limited capital resources, has incurred significant historical losses and negative cash flows from operations and has no current revenues. At June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $161,000 in cash and no accounts receivable. The Company believes that funds on hand will not be adequate to finance its operations and enable the Company to meet its financial obligations and payments under its convertible notes and promissory notes for the next twelve months. All of our promissory notes and other notes payable are currently either past due or due within the next 12 months.  There are no assurances that any further capital raising transactions will be consummated. Although certain transactions have been successfully closed in the past, failure of our operations to generate sufficient future cash flow and failure to consummate our strategic transactions or raise additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its business objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. If we are unable to obtain additional funds, or if the funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we will be required to delay, scale back or eliminate our plans to continue to develop and expand our operations or in the extreme situation, cease operations altogether.

Summary of significant recent financing transactions:

During 2010 and 2009, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $674,000 and $167,000 of advances from a certain corporate officer, which have no stated interest rate or maturity date.

In July 2009, the Company executed a NASA Funding Promissory Note in the amount of $240,004 with a lender who also holds a promissory note from December 2007. The new promissory note was executed in order to enable the Company to meet its obligations under a certain Space Act Agreement, which had been entered into with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The note bears interest at 25% and matures on August 30, 2009. In addition, the Company is obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock to the lender as additional consideration to enter into the note agreement. The shares were issued to the lender in September 2009. As of the date of this filing, the principal balance and accrued interest has not yet been paid to the lender. Although the note is technically in default as of the date of this filing, the lender has not made any claim of default and the Company is currently in negotiations with the lender for an extension to the terms of the note. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing any extension to the note.

During March 2010, the Company entered into a series of 10% convertible promissory notes for an aggregate of $650,000. Closing costs of approximately $81,000 were paid from the proceeds, providing a net of approximately $569,000. These notes carry a maturity life of one year from the date of issuance.

During March 2010, certain convertible notes and debentures previously held by the Enable Capital Group, with a principal balance of approximately $10.3 million plus accrued interest, were to be acquired by Madison and Wall Investments, LLC who, in conjunction with the proposed acquisition of debt, provided the Company with a letter of agreement to convert the debt into shares of preferred or common stock and extinguish the debt. The agreement also called for all said shares to be locked up from trading until at least December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the acquisition had not been formally closed and the shares of preferred or common stock had not been issued and the various debt instruments remain reported as debt in the financial statements. It is expected that the various convertible notes and debentures will be acquired by an independent third party and that the shares will be issued to the acquirer sometime prior to or during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the holders of certain convertible promissory notes provided the Company with letters of agreement that the various notes shall be extinguished and that the principal balances of these notes of approximately $1.9 million, plus any and all accrued interest thereon, would be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at an exchange rate of $0.20 per share.  Further, it was agreed that these shares will be locked up and will not be eligible for trading until at least December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the exchange shares have not been issued to the lenders by the Company and the notes will remain reported as debt until such time as said shares are issued. It is expected that the shares will be issued to the lenders sometime prior to the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

During June 2010, the Company entered into a series of 10% convertible promissory notes for an aggregate of $300,000. Closing costs of approximately $10,000 were paid from the proceeds, providing a net of approximately $290,000. These notes carry a maturity life of one year from the date of issuance.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MSGI and its majority owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company believes it has only one reporting segment.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 605, (ASC 605), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. Revenues are reported upon the completion of a transaction that meets the following criteria: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of our services has occurred; (3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.  Since the Company had a limited number of revenue transactions, that were each unique to each customer, the Company reviewed each transaction to determine that all revenue criteria were met.

The Company had no reported revenues for the year ended June 30, 2010. Our revenues for the year ended June 30, 2009 were derived from consulting services provided to third parties.

The Company had certain shipments of products to various customers during fiscal 2008 in the aggregate of approximately $6.5 million that were not recognized as revenue in fiscal 2008, 2009, 2010, or to date, due to certain revenue recognition criteria not being met in these periods, related to the assurance of collectibility among other factors. These transactions will only be recognized as revenue in the period in which all the revenue recognition criteria, as noted above, have been fully met. Inventory costs, as noted in the paragraph below, related to these transactions for which revenue has not been recognized, but have been fully reserved and expensed to the statement of operations as costs of good sold during the year ended June 30, 2009

Costs of product shipped to customers for which revenue has not been recognized

As of June 30, 2009, the Company capitalized approximately $5.4 million in product costs for goods that were shipped to customers during fiscal 2008 but for which revenue has not yet been recognized in either fiscal 2008, 2009 or to date. The Company has also recorded a full reserve against these product costs in the aggregate amount of approximately $5.4 million, of which $4.1 million was recorded during the year ended June 30, 2009. This reserve estimates the potential costs that may be unrecoverable. The Company has filed legal action against various parties involved (see Note 15) in the business operations and any payment forthcoming through court action or potential settlement will be recognized as income upon receipt of payment.  However, there can be no assurances that this will occur.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts:

The Company extends credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Bad debts are provided on the allowance method based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. In assessing collectibility, the Company considers factors such as historical collections, a customer’s credit worthiness, age of the receivable balance both individually and in the aggregate, and general economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The Company does not require collateral from customers nor are customers required to make up-front payments for goods and services. At June 30, 2009 and 2010, the Company has fully allowed for accounts receivable from CODA in the amount of $60,000.

Deferred Financing and other debt-related Costs:

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the associated debt instruments. The Company evaluates the terms of the debt instruments to determine if any embedded derivatives or beneficial conversion features exist. The Company allocates the aggregate proceeds of the notes payable between the warrants and the notes based on their relative fair values in accordance with FASB ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The fair value of the warrants issued to note holders or placement agents are calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company is amortizing the resultant discount or other features over the term of the notes through its earliest maturity date using the effective interest method. Under this method, the interest expense recognized each period will increase significantly as the instrument approaches its maturity date. If the maturity of the debt is accelerated because of defaults or conversions, then the amortization is accelerated. The Company’s debt instruments did contain embedded derivatives at June 30, 2009 (see Notes 7 and 8).
 
33

 
Property and Equipment:
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Furniture and fixtures
3 to 7 years
Computer equipment and software
3 to 5 years
Machinery and equipment
6 years

The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or retired are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are recognized in current operations.

Investments in non-consolidated companies:

The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated companies under the cost basis method of accounting if the investment is less than 20% of the voting stock of the investee, or under the equity method of accounting if the investment is greater than 20% of the voting stock of the investee. Investments accounted for under the cost method are recorded at their initial cost, and any dividends or distributions received are recorded in income. For equity method investments, the Company records its share of earnings or losses of the investee during the period. Recognition of losses will be discontinued when the Company’s share of losses equals or exceeds its carrying amount of the investee plus any advances made or commitments to provide additional financial support.

An investment in non-consolidated companies is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost on an other-than-temporary basis. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless (i) the Company has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (ii) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value.

Long-Lived Assets:
 
The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  In general, the Company will recognize impairment when the sum of undiscounted future cash flows (without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of such assets.  The measurement for such impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Such assets are amortized over their estimated useful life.

Research and Development Costs:

The Company recognizes research and development costs associated with certain product development activities. The costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recorded research and development expenses of $760,004 during the year ended June 30, 2010 for costs associated with nanotechnology and product development under the Company’s agreements with NASA. No such costs were incurred during the year ended June 30, 2009. An additional amount of approximately $1.0 million of research and development expenses are estimated to be incurred in the future, based on the company’s agreements with NASA.

34

 
Cost of Revenue / Product Sold:

Costs of goods sold are primarily the expenses related to acquiring, testing and assembling the components required to provide the specific technology applications ordered by each individual customer. In addition, reserves against costs of product shipped to customers for which revenue has not been recognized are also included in these expenses.

Income Taxes:

The Company recognizes deferred taxes for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at currently enacted statutory tax rates and laws for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” As prescribed by FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carry-forwards, all calculated using presently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company has established a full valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of recognizing future income.

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10. FASB ASC 740-10 prescribes recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FASB ASC 740-10 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There is no liability related to unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2010 and 2009.

The Company has not yet filed appropriate state or federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting prin­ciples generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements relate to the carrying amount of long lived assets, deferred tax valuation allowance, valuation of stock options and derivative liability, warrants and debt features and the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Major Customers
 
The Company is not currently providing goods or services to any clients and has no reported revenues for the year ended June 30, 2010. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company provided consulting services to one client and all revenues recognized during the year were derived from this one client. Further, our relationship with Apro Media and Hyundai is considered to be terminated at this time, and the new relationship with NASA is considered to be critical to the Company’s ongoing business activities.

Cash concentration
 
The Company’s cash balance is maintained with one financial institution and may, at times, exceed federally insurable amounts.  The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk of accounting loss.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share:

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period; however, such potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share in 2010 and 2009 excluded 99,679,989 and 71,443,417 potentially issuable shares, respectively, from the conversion of outstanding convertible debt and accrued interest, options and warrants.

 Summary of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance regarding improving disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 as well as activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance also provides clarification to existing disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Our effective date for the new disclosures and clarifications was the quarter ending March 31, 2010. Our effective date for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements is January 1, 2011. When effective, we will comply with the disclosure provisions of this new guidance.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810- 10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset de-recognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP.  The update was effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and did not have an effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160 – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.  SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification or ASC) the single source of U.S. GAAP.  This did not change the accounting rules the Company needs to follow – it merely codified them.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated the residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In October 2009, the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable arrangements was updated to require the use of the relative selling price method when allocating revenue in these types of arrangements. This method allows a vendor to use its best estimate of selling price if neither vendor specific objective evidence nor third party evidence of selling price exists when evaluating multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update must be adopted no later than January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard update will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the accounting standard regarding arrangements that include software elements was updated to require tangible products that contain software and non-software elements that work together to deliver the products essential functionality to be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update must be adopted no later than January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard update will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3.  SECURITIES EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS

On August 22, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Enable Growth Partners, LP (Enable), an existing institutional investor of MSGI and as of that date, holder of 100% of MSGI’s Series H Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to which MSGI retired all outstanding shares of the Series H Preferred Stock, 5,000,000 warrants issued in connection with the preferred stock, exercisable for shares of common stock of MSGI and put options exercisable for 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which had a fair value of $6,700,000 on August 22, 2008. In exchange for the retirement and/or redemption of the above securities, MSGI issued Enable an 8% Secured Convertible Debenture (the 8% Debentures) due May 21, 2010 in the principal amount of $4,000,000, a $1,000,000 cash redemption payment and transferred to Enable warrants to purchase up to, in the aggregate, 20,000,000 shares of the common stock of Current Technology Corporation. The redemption payment was paid by MSGI from the proceeds of the restricted cash accounts maintained in connection with the original issuance of the Series H Preferred Stock. The balance of the funds held in the restricted cash accounts of $800,000 was released to MSGI for working capital purposes. In connection with the Securities Exchange Agreement and the Debenture, MSGI and its subsidiaries entered into a Security Agreement and a Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, whereby MSGI and the subsidiaries granted Enable a first priority security interest in certain property of MSGI and each of the Subsidiaries.  The net effect of this transaction resulted in a gain of $1,700,000, recognized during the year ended June 30, 2009.
 
36

 
On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement with Enable. Under this agreement Enable was granted the right to exchange all warrants held into 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, provided, however, that at no time shall any Holder beneficially own more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 9.99% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding from time to time. The original warrants carry exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.50 and represent a total of 10,142,852 shares available to purchase. A non-cash interest expense of approximately $700,000 representing the fair market value of the committed shares was recognized, and a corresponding accrued liability was booked by the Company as of March 31, 2009. This accrued liability was adjusted to market value at the end of each subsequent reporting period until all of the warrants were exchanged. 500,000 shares of common stock were issued under this exchange agreement as of June 30, 2009 and 9,500,000 remained to be issued.  The June 30, 2009 liability was adjusted to $285,000 by the Company to adjust to the fair market value of these shares at a market price of $0.03 per shares at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, all 10,000,000 shares have been issued to Enable. Non-cash expenses totaling $900,000 were realized related to these shares issued during the year ended June 30, 2010.

4. DEPOSITS ON TECHNOLOGY CONTRACTS

During the twelve month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company expended $175,000 as non-refundable deposits with NASA for the rights to license technologies from the agency. On August 10, 2009, the Company announced that it had entered into a long-term relationship with NASA and intends to bring such technologies to commercial markets. The $175,000 in deposits on technology licenses was expensed as research and development during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

5. INVESTMENTS

Current Technology Corporation
 
On January 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Subscription Investment Agreement with Current Technology Corporation, a corporation formed under the laws of the Canada Business Corporation Act. The agreement provided for the Company to purchase from Current Technology a total of 25.0 million shares of its common stock, and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 25.0 million shares of its common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. Payment of the $2,500,000 was to be made in five installments of $500,000 between January 4, 2008 and April 15, 2008.  The common stock purchase warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $.15 per share and they expire on January 9, 2013.  The warrants contain anti-dilution and adjustment provisions, which allow for adjustment to the exercise price and/or the number of shares should there be a change in the number of outstanding shares of common stock through a declaration of stock dividends, a recapitalization resulting in stock splits or combinations or exchange of such shares. Of the 25.0 million shares of common stock and 25.0 million common stock purchase warrants, the Company acquired 20.0 million of each. The Company recorded the investment on the cost method of accounting.

On February 9, 2009, Mr. J. Jeremy Barbera, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of MSGI entered into a 90-day bridge loan agreement with a lender yielding net proceeds of $240,000. Certain personal assets of Mr. Barbera were used as senior collateral. The Company also provided a full guarantee and certain Company assets were used as junior collateral. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the transaction during a meeting held on February 6, 2009. The net proceeds of the bridge loan were advanced by Mr. Barbera, to the Company, to be used primarily for a new business venture with NASA on behalf of the Company as well as to meet short-term working capital requirements of the Company. The Company has given no consideration to Mr. Barbera for this personal guarantee of the bridge loan. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the lender made claim of default on the loan by Mr. Barbera. As a result, pursuant to the junior guarantee provided by the Company, we surrendered 5,000,000 shares of common stock of our holdings in Current Technology Corporation at a carrying value of $500,000 during the year ended June 30, 2009. The Company has no further guarantee obligations under the bridge loan agreement. Upon delivery of the committed assets from the Company, the lender provided Mr. Barbera with extended terms for the payment of the principal and accrued interest. The Company has determined that there is no liability required as of June 30, 2009 or 2010, as the committed assets have been provided to the lender and there is no longer a standing guarantee by the Company.
 
37

 
Pursuant to the original share purchase transaction, the Company held warrants to purchase 20,000,000 additional shares of common stock of Current Technology Corporation with an exercise price of $0.15 per share.  In August 2008, MSGI entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with holders of the Company’s Series H Preferred stock and other instruments.  In connection with this exchange, the warrants to purchase 20,000,000 additional shares of common stock of Current Technology were assigned to the purchasers of the Series H Preferred Stock.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company owns 15 million shares of the common stock of Current Technology, which represents approximately 10.6% ownership of its outstanding common stock.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company determined that the fall in the value of the stock of Current Technology was an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of its investment.  The Company based its analysis on the fact that Current Technology has been unable to file current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission since November 2009, had a going concern opinion based in large part on significant losses from operations and insufficient funds available to continue operating.  The Company recorded an impairment of $1.2 million to reduce its investment to the trading price of Current Technology as of June 30, 2010.

6. LIABILITY FOR PAYMENT DUE TO RFMON

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had capitalized and fully reserved for approximately $5.4 million in product costs for goods that were shipped to customers during the year ended June 30, 2008. No revenue was recognized in the prior period or to date. Of the capitalized costs, approximately $1.4 million was included in trade accounts payable due to RFMon and $20,000 was included as a deferred license fee. These costs have been reclassified into a separate liability account as of June 30, 2010, as it is expected by the Company that the liability will not be paid to the party until the settlement of legal action that the Company has filed against various parties involved in the prior business operations. Assuming a favorable outcome of such legal action, the separate liability will be extinguished and a credit for the previously expensed costs will be realized.

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY FOR EXCESS SHARES

Beginning in July 2009, the Company had convertible debt, accrued interest, contractually issuable shares, options and warrants that, if converted into common stock shares,  would exceed the amount of the Company’s authorized common shares.  From July 2009 through June 30, 2010 the Company continued to issue new shares of its common stock and new instruments convertible or exercisable into shares of its common stock.  At each period of time that one of these instruments was issued, the amount of common shares which potentially exceeded the Company’s issuable shares above its authorized common shares increased.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company had 73,354,351 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion in excess of its authorized capital.

The Company used a Black Scholes model with the following range of assumptions to value the derivative liability that resulted from these shares issuable in excess of its authorized share capital at inception of the liability:

   
Low
   
High
 
Underlying stock price:
  $ 0.04     $ 0.18  
Exercise/conversion price:
  $ 0.10     $ 0.51  
Term until expiration:

Dividend yield:
    0.00 %     0.00 %
Risk free rate:
    0.32 %     0.49 %
Volatility:
    212 %     296 %
 
The cumulative total of the liability and corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital recorded at each inception was $5,582,880.

In accordance with the guidance on accounting for embedded derivatives, the Company used a Black Scholes model with the following range of assumptions to value the derivative liability that resulted from these shares issuable in excess of its authorized share capital at June 30, 2010:

   
Low
   
High
 
Underlying stock price:
  $ 0.08     $ 0.08  
Exercise/conversion price:
  $ 0.10     $ 0.20

    0.00 %     0.00 %
Risk free rate:
    0.32 %     0.32 %
Volatility:
    212 %     212 %

At June 30, 2010, the resulting liability from the 73,354,351 excess shares was $3,170,374.  The change in the liability from inception to June 30, 2010 of $2,412,506 was recorded in the line item “gain on change in derivative liability” in the statement of operations.

As a result of recording the derivative liability for the shares issuable which exceeded the authorized number of common stock shares, the Company did not record additional derivative liabilities for certain reset provisions in the March 2010 and June 2010 convertible note agreements and detachable warrants issued in connection with those note agreements (see Note 8).

March 10 % Notes

On March 23, 2010, the Company entered into a private placement with individual institutional investors and issued secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000 (the March Notes) and stock purchase warrants exercisable over a five year period for up to 6,500,000 shares of common stock.
The March Notes have a maturity date of March 23, 2011 and will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually. Payments of principal under the March Notes are not due until the maturity date and interest is due on a quarterly basis, however the Investors can convert the principal amount of the March Notes into common stock of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, and each conversion is subject to certain volume limitations. The conversion price of the 10% March Notes is $0.10 per share yielding an aggregate total of possible shares to be issued as a result of conversion of 7,150,000 shares. The exercise price of the Warrants is $0.15 per share.

The Company has also entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with the Investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries to the Investors to secure the Company’s obligations under the Notes and Warrants.

In addition, the Company entered into an additional investment rights agreement (the “Additional Investment Right”), which grant each of the Investors the right to purchase additional principal amounts of secured convertible promissory notes equal to the principal amounts purchased in this original transaction. These rights are in effect for a period of up to 180 days after the date of closing of this original transaction.  One of the Investors received a due diligence fee comprised of 5 year warrants exercisable for 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Associated closing costs, legal fees and various reimbursable expenses totaling approximately $81,000 are included in deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the one-year term of the notes.
 
39

 
The March Notes and warrants contain reset provisions, such that should the Company issue any common share or instrument convertible into any common share at a price lower than the conversion or exercise then in effect than the exercise price and conversion price reset to that lower price.

Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in connection with these notes was approximately $21,000 and $0, respectively.

June 10% Notes

On June 30, 2010, under the Additional Investments Right agreement, the company issued additional secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the June Notes) and stock purchase warrants exercisable over a five year period for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock.

The June Notes have a maturity date of June 30, 2011 and will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually. Payments of principal under the June Notes are not due until the maturity date and interest is due on a quarterly basis, however the Investors can convert the principal amount of the March Notes into common stock of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, and each conversion is subject to certain volume limitations. The conversion price of the 10% March Notes is $0.07 per share yielding an aggregate total of possible shares to be issued as a result of conversion of 4,714,285 shares. The exercise price of the Warrants is $0.10 per share.

The June Notes and warrants contain reset provisions, such that should the Company issue any common share or instrument convertible into any common share at a price lower than the conversion or exercise then in effect than the exercise price and conversion price reset to that lower price.

Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in connection with these notes was approximately $600 and $0, respectively.

8% Debentures
 
On May 21, 2007, MSGI entered into a private placement with several institutional investors and issued 8% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the 8% Debentures), of which $4,000,000 is currently outstanding with the remaining principal balance having been converted into shares of common stock during fiscal 2008.

The 8% Debentures have a maturity date of May 21, 2010 and, although technically in default, no such default has been formally claimed by the current holders of the Debentures. The Debentures currently accrue interest at a default rate of 15% per annum and they accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum through to the date of maturity. Payments of principal and accrued interest under the Debentures are not due until the maturity date. The conversion price of the 8% Debentures is currently at $0.25. It is expected that the shares will be issued to the holders sometime during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

The Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the 8% Debentures between the warrants and the Debentures based on their fair value and calculated a beneficial conversion feature and warrant discount in an amount in excess of the $5 million in proceeds received. Therefore, the total discount was limited to $5 million. The discount on the Debentures was allocated from the gross proceeds and recorded as additional paid-in capital. The discount was amortized to interest expense over the three-year maturity date. On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes, which effected the anti-dilution provision of these Debentures. The conversion price of the Debentures was reduced from $0.50 to $0.25. No additional beneficial conversion expense was recorded related to the conversion price change due to the immaterial effect of this adjustment to the financial results of the Company as of June 30, 2010.

The 8% Debentures and the Warrants have anti-dilution protections. The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement with the investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries to the investors to secure the Company’s obligations under the 8% Debentures and Warrants.

The holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the debentures and warrants, specifically those pertaining to cross default and the ability of the conversion price and exercise price of the debentures and warrants, respectively, to reset based on future equity issuances.  The waivers covered the entire year ended June 30, 2010 and the Company obtained a further waiver through October 1, 2010.

On October 18, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic Partnership with Attonbitus Development Inc. As part of this relationship, Attonbitus agreed to purchase all of the 8% Debentures principal and accrued interest with the intent to convert the value of the debt into a series of investments in various MSGI operating subsidiaries, primarily those subsidiaries related to the NASA technologies.

Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in connection with this note was approximately $4.4 million and $594,000, respectively.

8% Notes
 
On August 22, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Enable Growth Partners, an existing institutional investor of MSGI.  In connection with that Agreement, MSGI entered into an 8% convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 (the 8% Notes).

The 8% Notes have a maturity date of May 21, 2010 and are currently technically in default, although no such default has been formally claimed by the current holders. The notes accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum through to the maturity date and shall accrue interest at the default rate of 15% per annum thereafter. Payments of principal and interest under the Notes are not due until the maturity date. The conversion price of the 8% Notes is currently at $0.25. It is expected that the shares will be issued to the holders sometime during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

The note holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the notes and warrants, specifically those pertaining to cross default and the ability of the conversion price and exercise price of the notes and warrants, respectively, to reset based on future equity issuances.  The waivers covered the entire year ended June 30, 2010 and the Company obtained a further waiver through October 1, 2010.

On October 18, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic Partnership with Attonbitus Development Inc. As part of this relationship, Attonbitus agreed to purchase all of the 8% Notes principal and accrued interest with the intent to convert the value of the debt into a series of investments in various MSGI operating subsidiaries, primarily those subsidiaries related to the NASA technologies.

Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in connection with this note was approximately $327,000 and $274,000, respectively.

6% December Notes
 
On December 13, 2006, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and several institutional investors, MSGI issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Callable Secured Convertible Notes (the 6% Notes) and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 3,000,000 shares of common stock in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $2,000,000, of which $1,000,000 is currently outstanding with the remaining principal balance having been converted into shares of common stock during fiscal 2008. There were no conversions during fiscal 2010 fiscal 2009.

The 6% Notes have a single balloon payment of $1,000,000, which was due on the maturity date of December 13, 2009 and accrued interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The 6% Notes are currently earning a default interest rate of 15% per annum. The conversion price of the 6% Notes is currently at $0.25. It is expected that the shares will be issued to the holders sometime during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

The 6% Notes contain anti-dilution protections. The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement in connection with the original closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries to the holders of the notes to secure the Company’s obligations under the 6% Notes and warrants.

The Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the 6% Notes between the warrants and the Notes based on their fair values and calculated a beneficial conversion feature and warrant discount in an amount in excess of the $1 million in proceeds received. Therefore, the total discount was limited to $1 million. The Company amortized this discount over the term of the 6% Notes through December 2009. On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes, which effected the anti-dilution provision of these Notes. The conversion price of the Notes was reduced from $0.50 to $0.25. No additional beneficial conversion expense was recorded related to the conversion price change due to the immaterial effect of this adjustment to the financial results of the Company.

On October 3, 2007, a $1.0 million portion of the Notes outstanding were purchased by certain third-party institutional investors, from the original note holders. The Company did not receive any cash as a result of these transactions and was not a party to the transaction. These institutional investors converted $1.0 million of the note balance as well as interest expense of $40,086 into an aggregate of 2,080,172 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the conversion, the discount was accelerated for the related portion of the note in an amount of $736,111. In addition, as part of the conversion transaction, the Company allowed the note holders to convert at a rate of $0.50, which was lower than the stated conversion price under the note agreement. Therefore, in connection with this lower conversion rate, the Company recognized an additional beneficial conversion charge on the principal and interest converted of approximately $299,200 upon conversion.
 
As a result of the conversion transaction of the Callable Secured Convertible 8% Notes above and the 6% Notes converted, anti-dilution provisions of the remaining 6% Notes were triggered. The conversion price of the remaining 6% Notes was reduced from the variable conversion rate noted above to a fixed rate of $0.50. As a result, the Company recognized an additional beneficial conversion discount of approximately $263,900, which was recorded as a discount to the note and allocated to additional paid in capital. This additional discount was amortized over the remaining term of the note.

The note holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the notes and warrants, specifically those pertaining to cross default and the ability of the conversion price and exercise price of the notes and warrants, respectively, to reset based on future equity issuances.  The waivers covered the entire year ended June 30, 2010 and the Company obtained a further waiver through October 1, 2010.

On October 18, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic Partnership with Attonbitus Development Inc. As part of this relationship, Attonbitus agreed to purchase all of the 6% Notes principal and accrued interest with the intent to convert the value of the debt into a series of investments in various MSGI operating subsidiaries, primarily those subsidiaries related to the NASA technologies.

Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in connection with this note was approximately $1,088,000 and $166,000, respectively.

6% April Notes
 
On April 5, 2007, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and several institutional investors, MSGI issued $1.0 million aggregate principal amount of Callable Secured Convertible Notes (the 6% April Notes) and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 1,500,000 shares of common stock in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $1.0 million. The 6% April Notes have a single balloon payment of $1.0 million which was due on the maturity date of April 4, 2010. These notes accrued interest at a rate of 6% per annum through the maturity date. Although the notes are technically in default as of April 4, 2010, no such default has been formally claimed by the current holders. The notes currently earn interest at the default rate of 15% per annum.

As a result of a conversion transaction of the Callable Secured Convertible 8% Notes and the 6% Notes converted above, anti-dilution provisions of the April 6% Notes were triggered. The conversion price of the April 6% Notes was reduced from a variable conversion rate noted above to a fixed rate of $0.50. As a result, the Company recognized an additional beneficial conversion discount of approximately $166,700, which was recorded as a discount to the note and allocated to additional paid in capital. This additional discount will be amortized over the remaining term of the note.
The Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the 6% April Notes between the warrants and the Notes based on their fair values and calculated a beneficial conversion feature and warrant discount in an amount in excess of the $1 million in proceeds received. Therefore, the total discount was limited to $1 million. The Company amortized this discount to interest expense over the remaining term of the 6% April Notes through April 2010. On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into certain convertible promissory notes, which effected the anti-dilution provision of these April Notes. The conversion price of the April Notes was reduced from $0.50 to $0.25. No additional beneficial conversion expense was recorded related to the conversion price change due to the immaterial effect of this adjustment to the financial results of the Company.

It is expected that the shares will be issued to the holders sometime during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

The payment obligation under the April Notes may accelerate if payments under the April Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the April Notes. This potential acceleration has not taken place, although the April Notes are technically in default.

The 6% April Notes and the warrants have anti-dilution protections. The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the Investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries to the Investors to secure the Company’s obligations under the 6% April Notes and warrants.

The note holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the notes and warrants, specifically those pertaining to cross default and the ability of the conversion price and exercise price of the notes and warrants, respectively, to reset based on future equity issuances.  The waivers covered the entire year ended June 30, 2010 and the Company obtained a further waiver through October 1, 2010.

On October 18, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic Partnership with Attonbitus Development Inc. As part of this relationship, Attonbitus agreed to purchase all of the 6% April Notes principal and accrued interest with the intent to convert the value of the debt into a series of investments in various MSGI operating subsidiaries, primarily those subsidiaries related to the NASA technologies.

Total interest expense, including debt discount amortization, for the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in connection with this note was approximately $1,092,000 and $124,000, respectively.

Convertible Term Notes payable
 
On December 13, 2007, the Company entered into four short-term notes with private institutional lenders. These promissory notes provided proceeds totaling $2.86 million to the Company. The proceeds of these notes were used to purchase inventory. The notes carry a variable rate of interest based on the prime rate plus two percent. These notes had an original maturity date of April 15, 2008. During February 2010, one of the lenders extended an additional $20,000 to the Company with this amount being added to the already then outstanding balance of one of the existing notes. These notes were not repaid on this date and the terms were amended at several different dates to extend them to maturity dates of February 28, 2009, March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2009. While the notes payable are technically in default at this time, neither of the lenders have claimed default on the notes.

Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to the lenders in conjunction with these notes. The warrants have a term of 5 years and carry an exercise price of $1.38 per share. The Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the term notes payable between the warrants and the Notes based on their fair values, which resulted in a discount of $80,208, which was fully amortized in fiscal 2008.

Between April 30, 2008 and April 1, 2009, the Company executed a series of Amendments to the Term Notes, which extended the payment terms for the term notes through February 28, 2009 for one lender, March 31, 2009 for one lender, and December 31, 2009 for the remaining two lenders.  Due to the default event, commencing on April 15, 2008, the interest rate is now at the default interest rate of 18%.  Also, two of the holders now have the right to convert the note at a rate of $0.51 per share, and the other two holders have the right to convert the note at a rate of $0.25 per share.
 
44

 
In addition, the terms of certain of the Amendments to the Loan Agreements called for the Company to issue five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to certain group lenders each week beginning May 1, 2008 and continuing for each week that the principal balance of the term notes remains outstanding. These warrants were issued with an exercise price set at the greater of market value on the date of issuance or $0.50 per share.  As of June 30, 2008, a total of 284,717 warrants were issued to the note holders, 33,218 warrants with an exercise price at $0.60 per share and the remaining at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  These warrants were subsequently cancelled with the October 2008 addendum and replaced with other warrants and stock issued.  In addition, there were 520,000 shares of common stock issued in fiscal 2008 in connection with these addendums.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, a total of 715,283 additional warrants were issued to the note holders, all with an exercise price of $0.50.  These warrants were subsequently cancelled with the October 2008 addendum, as noted below.  In addition, other group lenders received shares of common stock of the Company instead of warrants under the Amendments.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company entered into additional addendum agreements with three out of four lenders with regard to their respectively held Notes, which terminated all warrants to purchase common stock issued under previous addendum agreements, which aggregated 1,000,000 warrants issued under those previous addendum agreements, and, in their place, issued new warrants and additional shares of common stock. At execution of the addendums, the Company issued 378,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 378,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50. The Company issued an additional 252,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 252,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.50, between the date of the agreement and December 31, 2008.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company entered into additional addendum agreements with three out of four lenders with regard to their respectively held Notes, which issued new warrants and additional shares of common stock and extended the maturity date to March 31, 2009. The Company issued an additional 204,420 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 204,420 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of the greater of $0.50 or market value on the date of grant. Effective February 1, 2009, the Company entered into an additional addendum agreement with the fourth lender with regard to its held Note, which issued 400,000 shares of common stock to the lender and extended the maturity date of this Note to February 28, 2009.  Effective April 1, 2009, the Company entered into additional addendum agreements with two out of four lenders with regard to their respectively held Notes, which issued new warrants and additional shares of common stock and extended the maturity date to December 31, 2009.  The Company issued an additional 221,195 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 221,195 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of the greater of $0.25 or market value on the date of the grant for the period April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 92,400 warrants at an exercise price of $0.25 and 92,400 shares of common stock.  The stock was determined to have a fair value of $7,707, based upon the fair market value of the common stock on each date issued.  The warrants were determined to have a value of $6,953. The warrants were fair valued, at each warrant issuance, using the Black-Scholes model.  The warrant and stock values were recorded as additional interest expense on the note during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

In February 2010, the exercise price of 326,486 of the previously issued warrants was further reduced from $0.25 per shares to $0.15 per share as an incentive for one of the lenders to provide the Company with an additional $20,000 in cash. The effect of this change in exercise price to the fair value of the warrants was deemed immaterial and no associated adjustment was booked during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

45


The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model for the warrants for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010:

Expected term (years)
   
3
 
Dividend yield
   
0%
 
Expected volatility
   
215% - 235%
 
Risk-Free interest rate
   
1.23%-1.70%
 
Weighted average fair value
   
$0.06
 

Expected volatility is based solely on historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the stock options. We rely solely on historical volatility because our options are not traded and do not have trading activity to allow us to incorporate the mean historical implied volatility from traded options into our estimate of future volatility. The expected term calculation for stock options is based on the “simplified” method described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share−Based Payment. The risk−free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for an instrument with a maturity that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we have no present intention to pay cash dividends.

During March 2010, the holders certain of these convertible promissory notes provided the Company with letters of agreement that the various notes shall be extinguished and that the principal balances of these notes of approximately $1.9 million, plus any and all accrued interest thereon, would be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at an exchange rate of $0.20 per share.  Further, it was agreed that these shares will be locked up and will not be eligible for trading until at least December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the exchange shares have not been issued to the lenders by the Company and the notes will remain reported as debt until such time as said shares are issued. It is expected that the shares will be issued to the lenders sometime during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending on March 31, 2011, pending approval for an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock by a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

10% Convertible Term Notes payable

On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into three convertible promissory notes with Enable which provided the Company with gross proceeds of $250,000. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% annually and are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.25 per share. The notes had a maturity date of June 17, 2009.  As an inducement to Enable to enter into the Convertible Term Notes, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement with Enable. The remaining terms of the 10% notes carry the same provisions as the 8% Debentures. Due to the default event, commencing on June 17, 2009, the interest rate is now at the default rate of 18%.  While the notes are technically in default at June 30, 2010, the lender has made no claim of default.

The note holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the notes and warrants, specifically those pertaining to cross default and the ability of the conversion price and exercise price of the notes and warrants, respectively, to reset based on future equity issuances.  The waivers covered the entire year ended June 30, 2010 and the Company obtained a further waiver through October 1, 2010.

On October 18, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic Partnership with Attonbitus Development Inc. As part of this relationship, Attonbitus agreed to purchase all of the 10% Notes principal and accrued interest with the intent to convert the value of the debt into a series of investments in various MSGI operating subsidiaries, primarily those subsidiaries related to the NASA technologies.

25% Convertible Term Notes payable

In July 2009, the Company executed a NASA Funding Promissory Note in the amount of $240,004 with a lender who also holds a promissory note from December 2007. The new promissory note was executed in order to enable the Company to meet its obligations under a certain Space Act Agreement, which had been entered into with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The note bears interest at 25% and matured on August 30, 2009. In addition, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the lender as additional consideration to enter into the note agreement. The shares were issued to the lender in September 2009. As of June 30, 2010, and through the date of this filing, the principal balance and accrued interest has not yet been paid to the lender. Although the note is technically in default as of the date of this filing, the lender has not made any claim of default.

These advances have no stated maturity dates and are considered payable on demand. The Company has not imputed interest on the above advances since it would not be material.

12. COMMON STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Common Stock Transactions:

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 48,759,066 shares of common stock. Of these shares, 9,500,000 shares were issued to a certain lender under a Warrant Exchange Agreement, 92,400 shares were issued to a lender in connection with addendum to certain December 2007 convertible terms notes and 37,666,666 were issued to various parties in order to pay for consulting services and legal fees provided and 1,500,000 shares were issued in connection with certain financing transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 2,584,186 shares of common stock. Of these shares, 100,000 were issued to a certain corporate officer under an award granted to the officer by the Board of Directors in May 2007 resulting in an expense of $63,000 based upon the fair value of the stock on the date of issuance, 500,000
shares were issued to a certain lender under a Warrant Exchange Agreement (see Note 3). The remaining 1,984,186 shares were issued to various lenders in connection with addendum to the December 2007 convertible terms notes.

Stock Options:

The Company maintained a qualified stock option plan (the 1999 Plan) for the issuance of up to 1,125,120 shares of common stock under qualified and non-qualified stock options.  As of June 30, 2010 the 1999 plan is closed and no further options may be issued under its terms. The 1999 Plan was administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, which had the authority to determine which officers and key employees of the Company will be granted options, the option price and vesting of the options. Of the 1,125,120 shares qualified under the 1999 Plan, 985,000 were issued prior to its expiration. In no event shall an option expire more than ten years after the date of grant.

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation under FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statement at their fair values. The expense is being recognized on a straight−line basis over the vesting period of the options. The Company did not record a tax benefit related to the share−based compensation expense since the Company has a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

The stock based compensation expense related to stock options for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $5,000 and $221,000, respectively The non-cash compensation expense is included in salaries and benefits as a component of operating costs on the consolidated statements of operations.  As of June 30, 2010, all stock options have been vested and all related stock based compensation expenses have been recognized.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no stock option grants during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.

All warrants are currently exercisable.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company has 16,213,605 of warrants outstanding for the purchase shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.05 to $2.00, all of which are currently exercisable. The major transactions involving the warrants for the current period are below:

During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 92,400 five-year warrants to a certain lender in relationship to an addendum agreement. These warrants carry an exercise price of $0.25. A fair market value of approximately $7,000 for these warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes method and was recorded as interest expense in the year ended June 30, 2010.

During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 2,150,000 five-year warrants to certain consultants for services provided with an additional warrant for 100,000 shares to be issued after June 30, 2010. These warrants carry an exercise price of $0.05. A fair market value of approximately $129,000 for these warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes method and was recorded as consulting expense in the year ended June 30, 2010.

During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 10,000,000 five-year warrants to certain lenders and placement agents in connection to the March and June 10% Notes. These warrants carry an exercise price of $0.01 - $0.11. A fair market value of approximately $79,000 for 500,000 of these warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes method and was recorded as interest expense in the year ended June 30, 2010.  The fair market value for the remainder of these warrants was allocated to the proceeds of the transactions in the process of calculating a beneficial conversion feature discount on the value of the March and June 10% Notes.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has 16,225,079 of warrants outstanding for the purchase shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $8.25, all of which are currently exercisable. The major transactions involving the warrants for the current period are below:

During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 1,770,898 five-year warrants to certain lenders in relationship to the addendum agreements (see Note 8). These warrants carry an exercise price of $0.25 to $0.50. A fair market value of approximately $420,749 for these warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes method and was recorded as interest expense in the year ended June 30, 2009.

During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company terminated the 715,283 warrants issued during the three months ended September 30, 2008, as well as 284,717 warrants issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and, in their place, issued 630,000 new warrants as well as shares of common stock. A fair market value of $100,073 for these new warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes method and was expensed to interest expense in the year ended June 30, 2009, which was offset by the expense previously recorded for the terminated warrants, in the amount of $278,000.

In connection with the August 2008 Securities Exchange Agreement (see Note 3), Enable Growth Partners agreed to cancel the 4,500,00 warrants it received in the January 2008 Series H convertible preferred stock transaction (see Note 17).

On March 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement with Enable. Under this agreement Enable has been granted the right to exchange all warrants held into 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, provided, however, that at no time shall any Holder beneficially own more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 9.99% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding from time to time. The original warrants carry exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.50 and represent a total of 10,142,852 shares available to purchase. The Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock under the Warrant Exchange Agreement during the year ended June 30, 2009.

15. CERTAIN KEY RELATIONSHIPS

Relationship with The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

The Company’s collaborative relationship with NASA was begun in August 2009 with the execution of a Space Act Agreement (SAA) forming a partnership between MSGI and the Ames Research Center (ARC) located at Moffet Field in California. The purpose of this collaboration between MSGI and NASA is to develop new prototype chemical sensors using NASA’s nano-sensor technology to meet MSGI’s need in sensor commercialization in security, biomedical and other areas. This sensor technology platform could potentially be used in efforts such as chemical leak detection and hazardous material detection. MSGI intends to develop this technology for commercial applications, homeland security applications, and medical diagnostic applications for type I diabetes (acetone detection) at first and possibly other applications in future years. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in commercializing such applications.

In August 2009, the Company announced the formation of its first subsidiary for NASA based technology. The subsidiary, named Nanobeak Inc. (Nanobeak) is a nanotechnology company focused on carbon based chemical sensing for gas and organic vapor detection. Some potential space and terrestrial applications for this technology include cabin air monitoring onboard the Space Shuttle and future spacecraft, surveillance of global weather, forest fire detection and monitoring, radiation detection and various other critical capabilities. The commercial applications of these nanotech chemical sensors relate specifically to efforts in Homeland Security and defense, medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring and controls. Nanobeak seeks to offer products in these market sectors beginning in the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, but the timing of such offers may be affected by unforeseen difficulties in development and commercialization efforts. In September 2009, the Company announced that it is developing its first product derived from the NASA nanotechnology, a handheld diagnostic device designed for medical and environmental testing and detection using breakthroughs in nanotechnology and chemical sensing. Nanobeak intends to take the handheld sensor from prototype to commercial production and international distribution. The United States Department of Defense DTRA Agency also agreed to provide additional grant money to the NASA and MSGI chemical sensing initiatives during 2010 and 2011.

In September 2009, the Company announced the formation of its second subsidiary for NASA based technology. Andromeda Energy Inc. (Andromeda) will be focused on scalable alternative energy solutions employing NASA developed nanotechnology. These technologies operate more efficiently than current technologies and therefore yield significantly lower electricity costs per watt than conventional energy systems and sources.

Former Relationship with Hyundai Syscomm Corp.

Beginning September 11, 2006, the Company entered into several Agreements with Hyundai Syscomm Corp. (Hyundai). The Company had executed a License Agreement, a Subscription Agreement and a Sub-Contract with Hyundai and in prior periods received in consideration a one-time $500,000 fee for the License and the Company issued 865,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Hyundai, in connection with all the agreements.

The initial term of the Sub-Contracting Agreement was three years, with subsequent automatic one-year renewals unless the Sub-Contracting Agreement was terminated by either party under the terms allowed by the Agreement.

On February 7, 2007, the Company issued to Hyundai a warrant to purchase up to a maximum of 24,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for a maximum of $80,000,000 in revenue, which was expected to be realized by the Company over a maximum period of four years. The vesting of the Warrant was to take place quarterly over the four-year period based on 300,000 shares for every $1,000,000 in revenue realized by the Company from contracts referred to us by Hyundai.  The revenue was subject to the sub-contracting agreement between Hyundai and the Company dated October 25, 2006.  No transactions under this agreement have occurred as of and through June 30, 2010 or to date and therefore there have been no warrants vested under this agreement. As such, the various agreements with Hyundai are deemed by the company to be null and void as of June 30, 2010. In May 2009, the Company engaged the law firm of GCA Law Partners LLP of Mountain View, California to represent the Company in legal action against Hyundai Syscomm Corp, as well as several other Korean entities and individuals, for alleged breach of contract. During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, GCA Law Partners filed a motion to be dismissed as counsel for the Company and formally withdrew from the proceedings. This action was not due to any foreseen difficulties with the Company’s case against the defendants, but rather was the result of the Company’s currently inability to remit cash compensation to the firm on a timely basis. The Company has engaged the assistance of alternative legal counsel and the case is proceeding.

Former Relationship with Apro Media Corporation

On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive sub-contract and distribution agreement with Apro Media Corp. (Apro or Apro Media) for at least $105 million of expected sub-contracting business over seven years to provide commercial security services to a Fortune 100 defense contractor and/or other customers. Under the terms of contract, MSGI would acquire components from Korea and deliver fully integrated security solutions at an average expected level of $15 million per year for the length of the seven-year engagement.  In accordance with the Agreement, MSGI was to establish and operate a 24/7/365 customer support facility in the Northeastern United States. Apro was to provide MSGI with a web-based interface to streamline the ordering process and create an opportunity for other commercial security clients to be acquired and serviced by MSGI. The contract called for gross profit margins estimated to be between 26% and 35% including a profit sharing arrangement with Apro Media, which would initially take the form of unregistered MSGI common stock, followed by a combination of stock and cash and eventually just cash. In the aggregate, assuming all the stated revenue targets were met over the seven years, Apro Media would have eventually acquired approximately 15.75 million shares of MSGI common stock. MSGI was referred to Apro Media by Hyundai as part of a general expansion into the Asian security market, however revenue under the Apro contract was not to constitute revenue under the Hyundai warrant to acquire common stock of MSGI.
 
51

 
Per the terms of the sub-contract agreement with Apro, the Company was to compensate Apro with 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock when the sub-contract transactions result in $10.0 million of GAAP recognized revenue for the Company. In December 2007, the Company elected to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Apro under that agreement. The Company computed a fair value for a pro rata share of the remaining shares to be issued under that agreement, which was $62,336 at June 30, 2008,  and has been reflected as a liability in our consolidated balance sheet. As discussed below, such revenue is never expected to be recognized by the Company, and therefore this accrual has been reversed out during the year ended June 30, 2009.  The expense (income) was included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company had shipped product to various customers in the aggregate of approximately $1.6 million under the Apro sub-contract agreement. These shipments have not been recognized as revenue in fiscal 2008, 2009, 2010 or to date.  In addition inventory costs related to these transactions had been reported on the balance sheet in Costs of product shipped to customers for which revenue had not been recognized as of June 30, 2008 and these costs have been fully reserved and written off as of December 31, 2008.

On August 22, 2008, MSGI negotiated an acceleration of both its sub-contracting agreements with Hyundai and Apro, through Hirsch Capital Corp., the San Francisco based private equity firm representing Hyundai Syscomm and Apro Media. Under the accelerated terms, MSGI would endeavor to build up to a platform with the potential to generate approximately $100 million in expected annual gross revenue supporting several of the largest commercial businesses in Korea (see Daewoo sub-contract below).  Based upon its commitment to expand MSGI to a potential run rate of $100 million in annual gross revenue, Hirsch Capital would have the right to earn shares of MSGI as indicated under the Apro sub-contracting and distribution agreement referenced above. There have not yet been any business transactions under this new contract, and the Company considers the contract to be null and void.

In May 2009, the Company engaged the law firm of GCA Law Partners LLP of Mountain View, California to represent the Company in legal action against Apro Media Corporation, as well as several other Korean entities and individuals, for alleged breach of contract. As such, the sub-contract with Apro is deemed by the Company to be null and void as of June 30, 2010. During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, GCA Law Partners filed a motion to be dismissed as counsel for the Company and formally withdrew from the proceedings. This action was not due to any foreseen difficulties with the Company’s case against the defendants, but rather was the result of the Company’s currently inability to remit cash compensation to the firm on a timely basis. The Company has engaged the assistance of alternative legal counsel and the case is proceeding.

Former Daewoo / Hankook relationships

On September 17, 2008, the Company executed a contract with Hankook Semiconductor, a division of Samsung Electronics, to manufacture and supply advanced technology displays and other electronic products for commercial security purposes for Daewoo International. Under the terms of the contract, MSGI would subcontract to Hankook the right to manufacture certain Hi-definition display systems, which would be supplied to Daewoo for its existing customers. MSGI had similarly entered into an agreement to supply Daewoo with these products based upon Daewoo specifications from its customers. There have not yet been any business transactions under this contract. As such, the contract with Hankook and Daewoo is deemed by the Company to be null and void as of June 30, 2010.

In May 2009, the Company engaged the law firm of GCA Law Partners LLP of Mountain View, California to represent the Company in legal action against Hankook Semiconductor, as well as several other Korean entities and individuals, for alleged breach of contract. During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, GCA Law Partners filed a motion to be dismissed as counsel for the Company and formally withdrew from the proceedings. This action was not due to any foreseen difficulties with the Company’s case against the defendants, but rather was the result of the Company’s currently inability to remit cash compensation to the firm on a timely basis. The Company has engaged the assistance of alternative legal counsel and the case is proceeding.

16.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
Operating Leases:

The Company leases certain office space in New York, New York and in San Francisco, California. All of the Company’s current leases are on a “month to month” basis and are cancelable.  The Company incurs all costs of insurance, maintenance and utilities.

Rent expense for such space was approximately $185,000 and $283,000 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was rented from officers at the Company.

The Company recorded research and development expenses of $760,004 during the year ended June 30, 2010 for costs associated with nanotechnology and product development under the Company’s agreements with NASA. An additional amount of approximately $1.0 million of research and development expenses are estimated to be incurred in the future, based on the company’s agreements with NASA.

Contingencies and Litigation:

Certain legal actions in the normal course of business are pending to which the Company is a party. Certain ongoing matters relate to vendors seeking to get paid amounts owed by us, which amounts are included in trade accounts payable or are fully accrued as of June 30, 2010. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of the pending legal matters will have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In May 2009, the Company engaged the law firm of GCA Law Partners LLP, of Mountain View, California, to represent us in a legal action against Hyundai Syscomm Corp., Apro Media Corp., Hirsch Capital Corp. and other entities and individuals. Subsequently, the Company filed suit in United States District Court, Northern District of California, alleging, among other faults, fraud, breach of contract and unfair business practices. The Company seeks financial relief and compensation for the alleged actions of the parties named in the action. The engagement agreement calls for GCA to be compensated for all fees incurred on a contingent basis, pending outcome of the lawsuit, and, further, calls for the Company to issue 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company to each of the two partners managing the legal proceedings. The shares were issued to the attorneys in September 2009.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, GCA Law Partners filed a motion to be dismissed as counsel for the Company and formally withdrew from the proceedings. This action was not due to any foreseen difficulties with the Company’s case against the defendants, but rather was the result of the Company’s currently inability to remit cash compensation to the firm on a timely basis. The Company has engaged the assistance of alternative legal counsel and the case is proceeding.
Tax Returns

The Company has not filed payroll tax returns since 2006.

The Company has not filed income tax returns since fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

When the Company obtains sufficient funding it plan to rectify this situation.
17. SERIES H CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND PUT OPTION

On January 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Agreement Transaction with certain institutional investors (the Buyers), which consisted of a Series H Preferred Stock, warrants and a put option agreement. The Company received proceeds of $5 million, of which a portion was used to make a significant investment in Current Technology Corporation.

The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The preferred stock shall rank on a pari passu basis with the holders of the common stock in event of a liquidation, therefore there is no liquidation preference to the preferred stockholders. The preferred stock is not entitled to any dividends. The preferred stock is convertible at the holder’s election into common stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share.

The Company also issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and provide for a cashless exercise option for the period while each share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not registered for resale with the SEC or such registration statement is not available for resale. The Warrants expire five years following the date of issuance.
 
53

 
The conversion price of the preferred stock and the warrant exercise price are both subject to an anti-dilution adjustment in the event that the Company issues or is deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than the applicable conversion or exercise price. Conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrant is limited if the holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding.

Concurrently, the Company entered into the five-year Put Option Agreement with the Buyers pursuant to which the Buyers may compel the Company to purchase up to 5 million common shares (or equivalent preferred shares) at an initial put price per share of $1.20 which is in effect beginning July 10, 2008 through January 10, 2009. At each January anniversary date of the agreement, the put price increases $0.20 over the prior year put price until the put price is $2.00 in the last year of the put option agreement. The Buyers cannot exercise the options under the Put Option agreement until July 10, 2008. The Buyers are initially limited to a Maximum Eligible Amount, as defined in the agreement, of shares that can be put which is initially 1/6 of the total 5 million shares, which increases by 1/6 on each monthly anniversary. The put option agreement also contains a put termination price which is initially set at $2.00 for the period of July 10, 2008 through January 10, 2009 and then increases by approximately $0.33 for each anniversary year of the contract until it reaches $3.33 at the end of the contract. There are also certain other limitations, as defined within the agreement.

The Put Price may be paid by the Company in shares of Common Stock or at the Company’s election in cash or in a combination of cash and Common Stock. However, there are certain limitations and restrictions within the agreement that may limit the Company’s option to pay the shares in Common Stock and may at that point require cash payment. Payments made in common stock are based upon 75% of the weighted average stock price as defined in the agreement.

As part of the $5 million in proceeds received for this Securities Purchase Agreement, $1,800,000 was designated as restricted cash to be held in a secured Blocked Control Account in order to collateralize the put option agreement and this account was available to be drawn upon by a Buyer exercising its rights under the put option agreement.

The put option agreement was accounted for as a liability under guidance from SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” The Company had to allocate the proceeds between the put option and the preferred stock, and determined that the entire proceeds should be first allocated to the liability instrument. The initial fair value calculated at January 10, 2008 for the put option agreement was $5,800,000. The liability is adjusted to fair value for each reporting period and the fair value at August 22, 2008 was $6,700,000, such that an aggregate loss of $1.7 million has been recognized since inception. Fair value for the put options was calculated using the following assumptions as of August 22, 2008:

   
August 22, 2008
 
Expected term (years)
    1.80  
Expected put option price
  $ 1.60

    0 %
Expected volatility
    153 %

The difference between the Company’s U.S. federal statutory rate of 34%, as well as its state and local rate net of federal benefit of 5%, when compared to the effective rate is principally the result of no current domestic income tax as a result of net operating losses and the recording of a full valuation allowance against resultant deferred tax assets. In addition, the expected benefit is reduced 19% by non-deductible interest related to the convertible debt and 3% by other non-deductible expenses.  The recorded income tax expense reflects domestic state income taxes.

The Company has an estimated U.S. federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $114,000,000 available, which expires from 2012 through 2030. These loss carry forwards are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and some loss carry forwards are subject to SRLY limitations. The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated during the carry forward period available under the tax law to utilize the deferred tax assets. Of the net operating loss carry forwards approximately $61,000,000 is the result of deductions related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options in previous years.  The realization of the net operating loss carry forwards would result in a credit to equity.

The Company has reviewed its deferred tax assets and has determined that the entire amount of its deferred tax assets should be reserved as the assets are not considered to be more likely than not recoverable in the future.

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The last year for which the Company has filed its US Federal and state income tax returns is 2007.  The periods subject to examination for the Company’s tax returns are for the years 2003 to 2007.  Until the Company files its 2008 and 2009 income tax returns, the statute of limitations covering those tax years does not begin.
 
55

 
The Company believes that there is no significant financial statement impact as a result of FIN 48 for the year ended June 30, 2010. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the estimated US Federal net operating loss carryforwards more than likely became subject to IRC section 382 limitations due to the significant change in ownership the Company experienced during the year.  Should the Company perform the required study and determine that it is subject to the limitations under IRC section 382, the ability of the Company to utilize its US Federal net operating loss carryforwards could become severely restricted and could result in the Company becoming unable to utilize a significant portion of those net operating loss carryforwards in future periods in which it might generate taxable income.

19.   EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SAVINGS 401(k) PLANS:
 
The Company sponsored a tax deferred retirement savings plan (401(k) plan) which permitted eligible employees to contribute varying percentages of their compensation up to the annual limit allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Company formerly matched the 50% of the first $3,000 of employee contribution up to a maximum of $1,500 per employee. There were no employee contributions to the plan or matching contributions made during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. The plan also provided for discretionary Company contributions. There were no discretionary contributions in fiscal years 2010 or 2009. This 401(k) plan is currently dormant and the remaining employees of the Company no longer participate in the plan. It is the intention of the Company to terminate this plan during the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 and initial steps in that regard have been undertaken with the plan management company, The Gellar Group.

20.  NON-CASH DISCLOSURES NOT DESCRIBED ELESEWHERE

At June 30, 2009 the Company had accrued $285,000 for the value of future shares to issued under the Enable Exchange agreement (see Note 3).  That liability was satisfied in the current fiscal year through the issuance of the remaining 9,500,000 shares to Enable under the agreement.

During the current year ended June 30, 2010 the Company recorded a reduction in its additional paid-in capital of $5,582,880 for the value of derivative liability created by the Company issuing instruments convertible or exercisable into shares of its common stock in excess of its authorized capital (see Note 7).

In March and June 2010, the Company entered into a series of secured convertible promissory note financing transactions that raised gross proceeds of $950,000 (see Note 8).  In connection with those offerings, the Company issued convertible promissory notes and warrants that resulted in essentially 100% of the proceeds of the offering being allocated to the beneficial conversion features and warrants, which resulted in the Company recording a discount to the notes of approximately $950,000.  In addition, as part of the March offering, the Company issued warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company valued that warrant at $79,219 and recorded that amount as deferred loan fees.

In connection with the July 31, 2009 convertible note offering, in which the Company raised gross proceeds of $240,004 (see Note 11), the Company issued to the lender 500,000 shares as an inducement to make the loan.  The value of the shares at the time of the offering was $20,000 and was recorded as a discount to the convertible note.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a)  EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
1.
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
     
 
2.
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to  permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

 
3.
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  As a result of this assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
Based on its evaluation and due to the material weaknesses noted, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2010.

 
The Company’s assessment identified certain material weaknesses which are set forth below:
 
·  
The Company currently has insufficient resources and an insufficient level of monitoring and oversight, which may restrict the Company's ability to gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statements in a timely manner, including insufficient documentation and review of the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles to significant non-routine transactions. In addition, the limited size of the accounting department makes it impractical to achieve an optimum segregation of duties.

·  
A lack of formal cash flow forecasts, business plans, and organizational structure documents to guide the employees in critical decision-making processes.
57


·  
Ineffective controls over accounts payable processing

·  
Ineffective controls over contract administration
 
·  
Ineffective procedures to appropriately account for and report on related party transactions.

·  
Ineffective documentation of certain transactions not completed on a timely basis.

·  
The limited size of the accounting department makes it impracticable to achieve an appropriate segregation of duties.

·  
The Company does not have a procedure to ensure the timely issuance of equity securities upon Board or contractual approval.

·  
Payroll and income tax filings have not been made timely.

·  
There is insufficient supervision and review by our corporate management, particularly relating to complex transactions requiring to equity and debt instruments.

·  
There is a lack of formal process and timeline for closing the books and records at the end of each reporting period.

·  
There are limited processes and limited or no documentation in place for the identification and assessment of internal and external risks that would influence the success or failure of the achievement of entity-wide and activity-level objectives.
·  
An officer of the Company has been utilizing his personal bank account to pay for Company expenses. These expenses are recorded via journal entry by the Company as a liability to the officer. Adequate documentation to support the business purpose of the expenses was not available for many of the amounts.  In addition, the officer of the Company has been utilizing the Company’s bank account to pay personal expenses. The amounts paid are applied against the Company’s liability to the officer.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report herein.
 
Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The Company intends to take action to hire additional staff, implement stronger financial reporting systems and software and develop the adequate policies and procedures with said enhanced staff to ensure all noted material weaknesses are addressed and resolved. The Company also retained a third party consulting services to assist in developing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.  However, due to the Company’s cash flow constraints and changes in the business requirements from the change in key relationships and lack of internal resources, the continued assistance from this consulting firm and the timing of implementing the adequate policies and procedures, as determined to be required, has not yet been determined. The Company cannot predict when it will be able to appropriately address such weaknesses.
 
58

 
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2010.

Relationships and Interests in Proposals; Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. and no arrangements or understandings exist between any director or nominee and any other person pursuant to which such director or nominee was or is to be selected at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders. No director or officer is party to any corporate relevant legal proceeding.
 
Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, file reports of ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Commission and the NASDAQ Market. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by the Commission's regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

Based solely on the Company's review of the copies of such forms it has received and written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file reports on Form 5 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company believes that all its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a written Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which complies with the requirements for a code of ethics pursuant to Item 406(b) of Regulation S-B under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct will be provided, without charge, to any shareholder who sends a written request to the Chief Accounting Officer of MSGI at 575 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022. Any substantive amendments to the code and any grant of a waiver from a provision of the code requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules will be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K.

Board of Directors and Committee Information

The Board of Directors of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. currently has two standing committees, the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. As described below, the entire Board of Directors acts with respect to nomination and corporate governance matters.

Audit Committee

The Company's Board of Directors has established a standing audit committee, which is currently comprised of the following directors: Mr. Seymour Jones, Mr. John T. Gerlach and Mr. David C. Stoller. All members of the audit committee are non-employee directors and satisfy the current standards with respect to independence, financial expertise and experience. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Seymour Jones meets the Securities and Exchange Commission's definition of "audit committee financial expert."
 
62

 
Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2009 were Mr. Seymour Jones, Mr. Joseph Peters, and Mr. John Gerlach. Mr. Gerlach is Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Gerlach and Mr. Jones served as members of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors during all of fiscal years 2010 and 2009. Mr. Peters served as a member of the committee in fiscal year 2007. Mr. Peters was also an officer and employee of the Company during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Nomination Matters

The Board of Directors does not currently have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. Given the size of the Company and the historic lack of director nominations by stockholders, the Board has determined that no such committee is necessary. Similarly, although the Company’s By-laws contain procedures for stockholder nominations, the Board has determined that adoption of a formal policy regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended by stockholders is not required. The Company intends to review periodically both whether a more formal policy regarding stockholder nominations should be adopted and whether a nominating committee should be established. Until such time as a nominating committee is established, the full Board, which includes two directors employed by the Company and therefore not “independent” under applicable standards, will participate in the consideration of candidates. The Board does not utilize a nominating committee charter when performing the functions of such committee. The procedures for stockholder nominations and the desired qualifications of candidates, among other nominations matters, did not change during the 2010 fiscal year.

On May 7, 2007, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to authorize the issuance of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Barbera as an incentive to retain the services of Mr. Barbera.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment

The Company had entered into employment agreements with only one of its Named Executive Officers.

Mr. Barbera was appointed to the position of Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company by the Board, effective March 31, 1997. Mr. Barbera had previously also served as President and CEO of MSGI Direct. Mr. Barbera formerly held an employment agreement which was effective January 1, 2005 for a three-year-term expiring December 31, 2008.  The base salary during the employment term is $500,000 for the first year and an amount not less than $500,000 for the remaining two years. Mr. Barbera was eligible to receive bonuses equal to 100% of the base salary each year at the determination of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, based on earnings and other targeted criteria. Mr. Barbera reduced his salary to $350,000 from January 1, 2005 through March 2007.  In April 2007, Mr. Barbera’s annual salary was returned to the contractually obligated level of $500,000.  On June 29, 2007, Mr. Barbera was granted stock options to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the company at $1.50 per share.  These options vest in equal installments over an 18 month period beginning one month from the date of issuance.  If Mr. Barbera was terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement), then the Company was to pay him a lump sum payment equal to 2.99 times the compensation paid during the preceding 12 months and all outstanding stock options shall fully vest and become immediately exercisable. Mr. Barbera is currently without an executed employment agreement, but continues his employment under the terms comparable to the pervious agreement.

Mr. Barbera has agreed in his prior employment agreement (i) not to compete with the Company or its subsidiaries, or to be associated with any other similar business during the employment term, except that he may own up to 5% of the outstanding common stock of certain corporations, as described more fully in the employment agreement, and (ii) upon termination of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, not to solicit or encourage certain clients of the Company or its subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company and its subsidiaries and not to do business with any other similar business for a period of three years from the date of such termination.

COMPENSATION POLICIES FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Compensation Committee desires to set compensation at levels through arrangements that will attract and retain managerial talent desired by us, reward employees for past contributions and motivate managerial efforts consistent with corporate growth, strategic progress and the creation of stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that a mix of salary, incentive bonus and stock options will achieve those objectives.

RELATIONSHIP OF PERFORMANCE TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The base salary of Mr. Barbera is not set by terms of an employment agreement, but is comparable to his prior effective emplyment agreement and is maintained at such level as to attract and retain him. The Compensation Committee believes this salary is competitive and represents a fair estimate of the value of the services rendered by Mr. Barbera.

Respectively submitted,
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

On February 9, 2009, Mr. J. Jeremy Barbera, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of MSGI entered into a 90-day bridge loan agreement with a lender yielding net proceeds of $240,000. Certain personal assets of Mr. Barbera were used as senior collateral. The Company also provided a full guarantee and certain Company assets were used as junior collateral. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the transaction during a meeting held on February 6, 2009. The net proceeds of the bridge loan were advanced by Mr. Barbera to the Company to be used primarily for a new business venture with NASA on behalf of the Company as well as to meet short-term working capital requirements of the Company. The Company has given no consideration to Mr. Barbera for this personal guarantee of the bridge loan. During the period ended June 30, 2009, the lender made claim of default on the loan by Mr. Barbera. As a result, the Company forfeited the assets committed as junior collateral. Mr. Barbera also forfeited certain personal assets. Upon delivery of the committed assets from the Company, the lender provided Mr. Barbera with extended terms for the payment of the principal and accrued interest. The Company has determined that there is no liability required as of June 30, 2010, as the committed assets have been provided to the lender and there is no longer a standing guarantee by the Company.
