NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are unaudited, include the accounts of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all entries necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These entries consisted only of normal recurring items. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year. The Company generates a substantial percentage of net sales in the last three months of every calendar year, its fiscal third quarter. These condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the Company’s fiscal years ending March 31 as its “Fiscal” years.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Please refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to asset impairments, reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, contingencies and litigation, valuation and recognition of share-based payments, contingent consideration, warrant liability and income taxes. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, volatility of foreign currency exchange rates, and declines in customer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) Correction of Immaterial Errors Related to Prior Periods

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company’s management determined that its previously issued financial statements contained immaterial errors related to the omission of an accrual of a customer’s contractually agreed upon defective allowance. The Company corrected the errors by revising the fiscal 2012 balances. The total effect of this revision to prior period financial statements was a decrease to shareholders’ equity and accounts receivable of $253,000 over the amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012. The revision applicable to the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 was a decrease of $1,000 to net sales.

(3) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted the following new accounting standards:

Presentation of Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, requiring entities to report components of other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”. The amendments in ASU 2011-12 defer the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2011-12 are effective at the same time as ASU 2011-05 so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU 2011-05 that ASU 2011-12 is deferring. The amendments in ASU 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of these amended standards affected the presentation of the Company’s other comprehensive income but not the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

(4) Fair Value Measurement

For a description of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 2 to the Company’s 2012 consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

The following tables provide a summary of the recognized assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

 

		Balance as of June 30, 2012				Basis of Fair Value Measurements
						Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration, net of working capital (Note 5)		$	(4,045	)		$	—			$	—			$	(4,045	)
Warrant liability (Note 7)		$	(503	)		$	—			$	—			$	(503	)
		$	(4,548	)		$	—			$	—			$	(4,548	)
		Balance as  of March 31, 2012				Basis of Fair Value Measurements
						Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration, net of working capital (Note 5)		$	(4,369	)		$	—			$	—			$	(4,369	)
Warrant liability (Note 7)		$	(693	)		$	—			$	—			$	(693	)
		$	(5,062	)		$	—			$	—			$	(5,062	)

The following tables provide a roll forward of the Company’s level three fair value measurements during the three months ended June 30, 2012, which consist of the Company’s contingent consideration liability and warrant liability (in thousands):

 

Contingent consideration, net of working capital:
Balance at March 31, 2012		$	(4,369	)
Contingent consideration payment			842
Increases during the year – acquisition related expense			(518	)
Balance at June 30, 2012		$	(4,045	)
Warrant liability:
Balance at March 31, 2012		$	(693	)
Change in fair value of warrant liability			190
Balance at June 30, 2012		$	(503	)

(5) Contingent Consideration

In connection with the fiscal year 2011 acquisition of Tritton Technologies Inc. (“Tritton”), the Company has a contingent consideration arrangement that requires the Company to pay the former owners of Tritton additional consideration based on a percentage of future sales of Tritton products over a five year period, subject to maximum annual amounts, up to an aggregate of $8.7 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement has been determined primarily by using the

Table of Contents

income approach and using a discount rate of approximately 14 percent. The amount paid for contingent consideration is expected to be reduced by the amount of any working capital adjustment. In May 2011, the Company paid $1,546,000 under this arrangement. The maximum earn out for fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 of $1,600,000 was achieved, and $842,000 of this amount has been paid through June 30, 2012. The remaining $750,000, which is net of the $8,000 working capital adjustment, will be paid out prior to December 31, 2012, including interest accruing at an annual rate of 7%. The remaining annual payments will be made in May of each year through 2015.

Fluctuations in the fair value of contingent consideration are impacted by unobservable inputs, most significantly estimated future sales of Tritton products and the estimated discount rate. Generally, a change in the assumption used for estimated future sales of Tritton products is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability, whereas a change in assumption used for the estimated discount rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability.

(6) Inventories

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

 

		June 30,				March 31,
		2012				2012
Raw materials		$	2,125			$	2,456
Semi finished goods			—				8
Finished goods			25,935				30,057
Inventories		$	28,060			$	32,521

(7) Securities Purchase Agreement

In April 2011 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company sold (a) an aggregate of 6,352,293 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) and (b) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,540,918 shares of common stock of the Company (“Warrants” and, together with the Shares, the “Securities”). On May 3, 2011 the Company filed a Registration Statement registering up to 8,893,211 common shares of the Company comprised of: (i) 6,352,293 common shares and (ii) 2,540,918 common shares issuable upon exercise of 2,540,918 warrants. The Securities were issued at a price equal to $1.92 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $12,196,000. The Warrants became exercisable on October 21, 2011 at a per share exercise price equal to $2.56. The Warrants contain provisions that adjust the exercise price in the event the Company pays stock dividends, effects stock splits or issues additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants. The Warrants will remain exercisable until October 21, 2016.

The Company accounts for the Warrants with exercise price reset features in accordance with the applicable FASB guidance. Under this guidance, warrants with these reset features are accounted for as liabilities and carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net earnings (loss) until such time as the Warrants are exercised or expire.

The fair value of the Warrants decreased from $693,000 as of March 31, 2012 to $503,000 as of June 30, 2012, which resulted in a $190,000 gain from the change in fair value of warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

These Warrants are not traded in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimates the fair value of the Warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

		As of June  30, 2012
Expected term			4.25
Common stock market price		$	0.51
Risk-free interest rate			0.60	%
Expected volatility			95.12	%

Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to the expected term of the Warrants. The Company believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these Warrants. The Company currently has no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these Warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining contractual term of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is the interest rate for treasury constant maturity instruments published by the Federal Reserve Board that is closest to the expected term of the Warrants.

(8) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities.

Outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 7,951,091 and 6,390,573 shares of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were excluded from diluted net loss per share calculations because inclusion of such options would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses in these periods. Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,540,918 shares of the Company’s common stock for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations because of their anti-dilutive effect during the period. Weighted average shares of 1,908,809 related to the convertible notes payable were excluded from the calculation for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 because of their anti-dilutive effect during the period.

(9) Geographic Data and Concentrations

The Company’s sales are attributed to the following geographic regions (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2012				2011
Net sales:
United States		$	9,482			$	8,995
Europe			9,796				6,377
Canada			957				637
Other countries			1,587				454
		$	21,822			$	16,463

Revenue is attributed to geographic regions based on the location of the customer. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 one customer accounted for approximately 26% of the Company’s gross sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 two customers accounted for approximately 20% and 11% of the Company’s gross sales, respectively. At June 30, 2012, one customer represented 32% of accounts receivable and another customer represented 12% of accounts receivable. At June 30, 2011, one customer represented 28% of accounts receivable and another customer represented 11% of accounts receivable. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, no other customers accounted for greater than 10% of accounts receivable or gross sales.

(10) Subsequent Events

On August 1, 2012, the Company amended the line of credit to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2015. Under the amended line of credit interest accrues on the daily outstanding balance at an interest rate that ranges from U.S. prime rate plus 0.25% to U.S. prime rate plus 1.0% per annum depending upon the fixed charge coverage ratio.

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

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer, collectively, to Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries, and all references in this section to “Mad Catz” refer to Mad Catz Interactive, Inc.

This section contains forward-looking statements and forward looking information (collectively “forward-looking statements”) as defined in applicable securities legislation involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including those set out under “Forward-looking Statements” herein and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and in Part II Other Information — Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Overview

Our Business

We design, manufacture (primarily through third parties in Asia), sell, market and distribute accessories for all major videogame platforms, the PC and Mac and, to a lesser extent, the iPod and other audio devices. Our accessories are marketed primarily under the Mad Catz, Tritton, Saitek, GameShark, and AirDrives brands; we also produce for selected customers a limited range of products marketed on a “private label” basis. Our products include videogame, PC and audio accessories, such as control pads, steering wheels, joysticks, memory cards, video cables, flight sticks, dance pads, microphones, car adapters, carry cases, mice, keyboards and headsets. We also develop flight simulation software through our internal ThunderHawk Studios^TM and operate flight simulation centers under our Saitek brand. We also publish and distribute videogames.

Seasonality and Fluctuation of Sales

We generate a substantial percentage of our net sales in the last three months of every calendar year, our fiscal third quarter. Our quarterly results of operations can be expected to fluctuate significantly in the future, as a result of many factors, including: seasonal influences on our sales; unpredictable consumer preferences and spending trends; the introduction of new videogame platforms or titles; the need to increase inventories in advance of our primary selling season; and timing of introductions of new products.

Potential Fluctuations in Foreign Currency

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, approximately 56% of total net sales were transacted outside of the United States. The majority of our international business is presently conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from normal business operations are credited to or charged against earnings in the period incurred. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which we conduct our business relative to the U.S. dollar will cause currency transaction gains and losses, which we have experienced in the past and continue to experience. Due to the volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. There can be no assurances that we will not experience currency losses in the future. To date we have not hedged against foreign currency exposure.

United States		$	9,482				44	%		$	8,995				55	%		$	487				5	%
Europe			9,796				45	%			6,377				38	%			3,419				54	%
Canada			957				4	%			637				4	%			320				50	%
Other countries			1,587				7	%			454				3	%			1,133				250	%
Consolidated net sales		$	21,822				100	%		$	16,463				100	%		$	5,359				33	%

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, consolidated net sales increased 33% as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The main driver of the increase in net sales was strong European market demand for the Tritton-branded headsets. Additionally, net sales in other countries in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased due to sales of the R.A.T. line of products.

Our sales by platform as a percentage of gross sales were as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,
		2012				2011
PC and Mac			34	%			31	%
Xbox 360			28	%			24	%
PlayStation 3			7	%			9	%
Wii			1	%			4	%
Handheld Consoles(a)			1	%			3	%
GameCube			—	%			1	%
All others(b)			29	%			28	%
Total			100	%			100	%

 

(a)	Handheld consoles include Sony PSP and Vita and Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi, DS XL and 3DS.

(b)	All others include universal products which can be used on multiple platforms.

Sales of PC products increased primarily due to sales of the R.A.T. line of products. Sales of products designed for use with the Xbox 360 increased primarily due to sales of Tritton-branded products. Sales of products designed for use with the PlayStation 3 platform decreased due to decreased sales of Rock Band accessories for this platform. Sales of products designed for use with the Wii platform continued to decline in anticipation of the release of a successor platform later in the year.

Our sales by product category as a percentage of gross sales were as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,
		2012				2011
Audio			44	%			28	%
PC and Mac Devices			21	%			15	%
Specialty Controllers			16	%			26	%
Controllers			9	%			17	%
Accessories			8	%			13	%
Games			2	%			1	%
Total			100	%			100	%

The increase in audio products is primarily related to sales of Tritton-branded products. The increase in PC and Mac devices is primarily related to sales of the R.A.T. line of products. The decrease in specialty controllers as a percentage of total gross sales primarily related to the decrease in sales of our accessories compatible with the Rock Band 3 game. The decrease in controllers was primarily related to products compatible with the Xbox 360 and Wii.

Our sales by brand as a percentage of gross sales were as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,
		2012				2011
Mad Catz			46	%			61	%
Tritton			41	%			23	%
Saitek			10	%			11	%
Other			3	%			5	%
Total			100	%			100	%

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, products previously offered under our Cyborg brand began a transition to our Mad Catz brand, which is expected to be complete during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. As a result the sales reported in the prior period under the Cyborg brand have been reclassified as sales of our Mad Catz brand. In addition, sales previously reported as Eclipse have been reclassified as Other.

The decrease in Mad Catz products primarily related to the decrease in sales of our accessories compatible with the Rock Band 3 game, partially offset by an increase related to sales of the R.A.T. branded line of products. The increase in Tritton as a percentage of total gross sales primarily related to strong audio headset demand.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is defined as net sales less cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of product costs, cost of licenses and royalties, cost of freight-in and freight-out and distribution center costs, including depreciation and other overhead.

The following table presents net sales, cost of sales and gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

 

		June 30, 2012				% of Net Sales				June 30, 2011				% of Net Sales				$ Change				% Change
Net sales		$	21,822				100	%		$	16,463				100	%		$	5,359				33	%
Cost of sales			15,547				71	%			12,517				76	%			3,030				24	%
Gross profit			6,275				29	%			3,946				24	%			2,329				59	%

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased 59%, while gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross profit margin, increased from 24% to 29%. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to higher sales and decreased price protection, co-op spending and sales discounts. Absent significant changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, we expect our gross profit margin to remain at a range of plus or minus two and one-half points of 30%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

 

		June 30, 2012				% of Net sales				June 30, 2011				% of Net sales				$ Change				% Change
Sales and marketing		$	3,239				15	%		$	3,264				20	%		$	(25	)			(1	)%
General and administrative			2,956				14	%			3,341				20	%			(385	)			(12	)%
Research and development			1,021				5	%			1,692				10	%			(671	)			(40	)%
Acquisition related items			518				2	%			325				2	%			193				59	%
Amortization			233				1	%			245				2	%			(12	)			(5	)%
Total operating expenses		$	7,967				37	%		$	8,867				54	%		$	900				(10	)%

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of payroll, commissions, participation at trade shows and travel costs for our worldwide sales and marketing staff, advertising expense and costs of operating our websites. The slight decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to decreased headcount. We expect sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2013 to approximate fiscal year 2012 levels.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits for our executive and administrative personnel, facilities costs and professional services, such as legal and accounting. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to timing differences in the amount of professional fees incurred. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, a smaller proportion of professional fees were incurred relative to the same period in the prior year. We expect general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2013 to approximate fiscal year 2012 levels.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses include the costs of developing and enhancing new and existing products. The decrease in research and development expenses primarily relates to the completion of activities related to audio products and software development during fiscal 2012. We expect research and development expenses in fiscal 2013 to be lower than fiscal year 2012 levels.

Acquisition related items. Acquisition related items relate to accounting for the Tritton acquisition, which include adjustments to contingent consideration valuation, which will continue to be adjusted through fiscal 2015 when the contingent consideration will be fully paid.

Amortization Expenses. Amortization expenses consist of the amortization of the acquired intangible assets from Saitek, Joytech and Tritton. The slight decrease in amortization expenses was due to intangibles acquired in the Joytech and Saitek acquisitions that have become fully amortized.

Interest Expense, net, Foreign Exchange Gain, Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability and Other Income

Interest expense, net, foreign exchange gain, change in fair value of warrant liability and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

 

		June 30,				June 30,				$				%
		2012				2011				Change				Change
Interest expense, net		$	(269	)		$	(162	)		$	(107	)			(66	)%
Foreign exchange gain		$	256			$	15			$	241				1,607	%
Change in fair value of warrant liability		$	190			$	994			$	(804	)			(81	)%
Other income		$	65			$	28			$	37				132	%

The increase in interest expense is due to the gain on debt extinguishment that occurred in 2011 as a result of the repayment of the convertible notes.

The foreign exchange gain in the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 primarily relates to the revaluation of receivables arising from sales made at our foreign subsidiaries in non-local currencies and the revaluation of intercompany payables arising from product purchases at our foreign subsidiaries.

The change in fair value of warrant liability recorded in the three months periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 represents the change in fair value of the Warrants issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Other income recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily consists of a recovery of accrued goods and service taxes in Canada and to a lesser extent advertising income from our GameShark.com website. Other income recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2011 primarily relates to advertising income from our GameShark.com website.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in thousands):

 

June  30, 2012				Effective Tax Rate				June  30, 2011				Effective Tax Rate				$ Change				% Change
$	267				(18	)%		$	(562)				14	%		$	829				(148	)%

The Company’s effective tax rate is a blended rate for different jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate fluctuates depending on the taxable income in each jurisdiction and the statutory income tax rates in those jurisdictions, in which we do business, including our U.S. operating company, and our Canadian parent company for which we continue to provide a full valuation allowance against its losses. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of its net deferred tax asset on an ongoing basis to identify whether any significant changes in circumstances or assumptions have occurred that could materially affect the realizability of deferred tax assets and expects to release the valuation allowance when it has sufficient positive evidence, including but not limited to cumulative earnings in successive recent periods, to overcome such negative evidence. The change in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to the book income in certain jurisdictions in the first quarter fiscal 2013 as compared to losses in those jurisdictions in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Our primary sources of liquidity include a revolving line of credit (as discussed below under Cash Flows from Financing Activities), cash on hand and cash flows generated from operations.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities have typically included the collection of customer receivables generated by the sale of our products, offset by payments to vendors for materials and manufacture of our products. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $3.3 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Cash provided by operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily related to decreases in inventory. Cash used in operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 primarily related to decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We are focused on effectively managing our overall liquidity position by continuously monitoring expenses, inventory levels and managing our accounts receivable collection efforts.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net cash used in investing activities in both three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 consisted of capital expenditures to support our operations and were made up primarily of production molds, and to a lesser extent, computers and machinery and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $3.5 million was a result of net repayments under our line of credit. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, cash provided by financing activities of $4.7 million was a result of net borrowings under our line of credit and net proceeds received for the issuance of common stock, partially offset by repayment of the convertible notes.

We maintain a Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) to borrow up to $30 million under a revolving line of credit subject to the availability of eligible collateral (accounts receivable and inventories), which changes throughout the year. On August 1, 2012, we amended the line of credit to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2015. Prior to August 1, 2012, the line of credit accrued interest on the daily outstanding balance at the U.S. prime rate plus 2.0% per annum. Under the amended line of credit, interest accrues on the daily outstanding balance at an interest rate that ranges from U.S. prime rate plus 0.25% to U.S. prime rate plus 1.0% per annum depending upon the fixed charge coverage ratio. At June 30, 2012, the interest rate was 5.25%. We are also required to pay a monthly service fee of $1,500 and an unused line fee equal to 0.25% of the unused portion of the loan. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority interest in the inventories, equipment, accounts receivable and investment properties of certain of our subsidiaries and by a pledge of all of the capital stock of our subsidiaries and is guaranteed by the Company. We are required to meet a quarterly covenant based on our trailing four quarter’s coverage of fixed charges as well as a monthly year-to-date EBITDA covenant. We were in compliance with this covenant at June 30, 2012.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Tritton, we are obligated to make certain payments to former Tritton shareholders of up to $8.7 million based on the achievement of certain specific performance measures. In May 2011, the Company made the first payment for $1.5 million. The maximum earn out for fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 of $1.6 million was achieved, and $842,000 of this amount has been paid through July 2012. The remaining $750,000, which is net of the $8,000 working capital adjustment, will be paid prior to December 31, 2012, including interest accruing at an annual rate of 7%. The aggregate fair value of the remaining payments was $4.0 million as of June 30, 2012, and is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

We believe that our available cash balances, anticipated cash flows from operations and available line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our operating needs for at least the next twelve months, and in the longer term, including any payments due for contingent consideration. However, we operate in a rapidly evolving and often unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we may not be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or from additional credit facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, additional debt financing may contain more restrictive covenants than our existing debt.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial parties, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. To address the warrants issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the resulting gain/loss on the change in the related warrant liability, we have excluded this non-operating, non-cash charge and defined the result as “Adjusted EBITDA”. We believe this to be a more meaningful measurement of performance than the previously calculated EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor is it being presented as an alternative to operating or net income as an indicator of operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As defined, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. We believe, however, that in addition to the performance measures found in our financial statements, Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our Company’s operating performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of operating performance in comparing our performance on a consistent basis over prior periods, as it removes from operating results the impact of our capital structure, including the interest expense resulting from our outstanding debt, and our asset base, including depreciation and amortization of our capital and intangible assets. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure for our lender. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three months ended June 30,
		2012				2011
Net income (loss)		$	(1,717	)		$	(3,484	)
Adjustments:
Interest expense, net			269				162
Income tax expense (benefit)			267				(562	)
Depreciation and amortization			779				801
EBITDA (loss)		$	(402	)		$	(3,083	)
Change in fair value of warrant liability			(190	)			(994	)
Adjusted EBITDA (loss)		$	(592	)		$	(4,077	)

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not historical fact and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and constitute “forward-looking information” as defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively “forward-looking statements”). These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, our strategy for growth, business development, market and competitive position, financial results, expected revenue, expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of our existing assets to fund future operations and capital spending needs. These statements relate to our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions and strategies regarding the future, and may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” and “potential,” among others. Specifically this document contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the continuance of seasonal fluctuations in the Company’s sales, inventories, receivables, payables and cash; the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations; the sufficiency of funds available to meet operational needs, including contingency payments related to the Tritton acquisition; and our expectations for fiscal 2013 in respect of our gross profit margin and operating expenses and effective tax rates.

The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect management’s current beliefs and expectations and are based on information currently available to management, as well as its analysis made in light of its experience, perception of trends, current conditions, expected developments and other factors and assumptions believed to be reasonable and relevant in the circumstances. These assumptions include, but are not limited to: continuing demand by consumers for videogames and accessories, continued financial viability of our largest customers, continued access to capital to finance our working capital requirements and the continuance of open trade with China, where the preponderance of our products are manufactured.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to important factors and events that could cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q, and from those that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements for the reasons detailed in Part I — Item 1A. — Risk Factors of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in Part II Other Information — Item 1A. We believe that many of the risks detailed in our other SEC filings are part of doing business in the industry in which we operate, and will likely be present in all periods reported. The fact that certain risks are endemic to the industry does not lessen their significance. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update them or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in such forward-looking statements, except as may be required by applicable law.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, our management with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2012. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during the process.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On July 6, 2012, the Company’s subsidiaries Mad Catz, Inc. and Mad Catz Interactive Asia Limited filed a complaint styled Mad Catz, Inc. et. al. v. KnowledgeTech Corp., Case No. 37-2012-00100125-CU-BC-CTL, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. The complaint alleges that KnowledgeTech Corp. breached its contract with the plaintiffs for failing to issue credits for defective and returned product. The plaintiffs are seeking damages in the amount of $917,785. The case is in its early stages and no answer has been served as of this date.

We may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. We will also, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record reserves in our financial statements for pending litigation. Litigation is expensive and is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in any such matters could adversely impact our operating results or financial condition. Additionally, any litigation to which we may become subject could also require significant involvement of our senior management and may divert management’s attention from our business and operations. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of any current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity taken as a whole.
