NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

FAB Universal Corp. (“Parent”, “Company”), a Colorado corporation was organized on July 1, 1998. The Company operates in three segments, Wholesale, Retail and Digital Media Services. The Wholesale segment engages primarily in the sale of audio-visual products as well as books and magazines to retail businesses. The Retail segment conducts its business through our retail stores, selling copyright protected audio and video products, including CDs, VCDs, DVDs, books, magazines and portable electronic devices. The Digital Media Services segment licenses its multi-year programs for our FAB brand and business model. It also includes the revenue share for advertising on kiosks, and includes the services provided by our podcast hosting, content management tools and advertising services. (See Note 2) On February 27, 2007, the Company organized Wizzard Acquisition Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation, to acquire and dissolve into the operations of Webmayhem, Inc. (“Libsyn”, “Libsyn Media”), a Pennsylvania corporation, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Libsyn is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On September 26, 2012, (the “Closing”) Parent purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Digital Entertainment International Ltd. (“DEI”), a company incorporated under the law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of DEI; its wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Dingtai Guanqun Culture Co., Ltd. (“DGC”); Beijing FAB Culture Media Co., Ltd. (“FAB Media”), which is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and Beijing FAB Digital Entertainment Products Co., Ltd. (“FAB Digital”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FAB Media.

DEI is a holding company and conducts its business through its wholly owned subsidiary, DGC, which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) with limited liability incorporated in the PRC in March 2011. DGC has entered into a series of contractual agreements with the owners of FAB Media.

DEI, through its wholly owned subsidiary and its VIE, is engaged in marketing and distributing various officially licensed digital entertainment products under the “FAB” brand throughout the PRC, including but not limited to audiovisual products such as digital music files, Compact Discs, Video Compact Discs and Digital Video Disks as well as books, magazines, mobile phone accessories and cameras. DEI’s products and services are primarily distributed through its flagship stores, wholesale services, proprietary “FAB” kiosks, and online virtual stores. FAB kiosks, located in high-traffic areas of office buildings, shopping malls, retail stores and airports, are self-service terminals that provide a range of entertainment and consumer applications.

FAB Media was incorporated as a private enterprise in the PRC and is primarily engaged in operating and providing proprietary multimedia kiosks for music downloads, information exchange and advertising.

FAB Digital is a wholly owned subsidiary of FAB Media and specializes in the distribution of entertainment and audio visual products through its two flagship stores in Beijing as well as its online stores. Beijing Jinglvtong Travel and Science Technology Co., Ltd., which is fully owned by FAB Digital, changed to Beijing FAB Huzhong Times Technology Co., Ltd. (“BFHTT”) in May 2013.

In June 2012, a series of contractual arrangements were entered into between DGC, FAB Media and the individual shareholders of FAB Media. Such arrangements include an Exclusive Service Agreement; an Equity Pledge Agreement; a Call Option Agreement; and a Shareholders’ Voting Right Proxy Agreement.

Pursuant to these agreements, DGC has the exclusive right to provide to FAB Media consulting services related to business operation and management. The key terms of these agreements include:

DGC has the sole discretion to make all operating and business decisions for FAB Media on behalf of the equity owners, including business operations, policies and management, approving all matters requiring shareholder approval;

FAB Media has agreed to pay all of the operating costs incurred by DGC, and transfers 100% of the income earned to DGC; DGC also has the right to determine the amount of the fees it will receive;

During the term of these agreements, DGC will retain the rights to the intellectual properties if they are created by DGC;

FAB Media may not enter into any other agreements with any third party to receive consulting service without the prior consent of DGC;

FAB UNIVERSAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

The equity owners pledge their respective equity interests in the FAB Media as a guarantee for the payment of technical and consulting services fees under the Exclusive Service Agreement;

The shareholders of FAB Media have irrecoverably and unconditionally granted DGC or its designee an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted by PRC laws, all or any portion of equity interest of the FAB Media.

All of the contractual agreements obligate DGC to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from FAB Media’s activities and entitle DGC to receive a majority of its residual returns. In essence, DGC has gained effective control over FAB Media. Based on these contractual arrangements, the Company believes that FAB Media should be considered a variable interest entity under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”. Accordingly, the accounts of this entity are consolidated with those of DGC, the primary beneficiary.

DEI is effectively controlled by the majority shareholders of FAB Media. DEI has 100% equity interest in DGC. Accordingly, DGC, and FAB Media are effectively controlled by the same majority shareholders.

Therefore, DGC and FAB Media are considered under common control. The consolidation of DGC and FAB Media into DEI has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned exclusive contractual agreements between DGC and FAB Media had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and consolidation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2013 and DEI’s audited consolidated financial statements included in Form 8-K filed on September 28, 2012.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management made assumptions and estimates for determining the reserve for accounts receivable, obsolete inventory, the realization of deferred tax assets and in determining the impairment of finite life intangible assets and goodwill and accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies when applicable. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.

Reclassification – The financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the headings and classifications used in the September 30, 2013 financial statements.

Stock Split - On February 23, 2012, the Company effected a 1 for 12 reverse stock-split. All references to stock issuances and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock-split.

Inventory - Inventory includes books and video products and is recorded at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company estimates net realizable value based on current market value and inventory aging analyses. As of September 30, 2013 no reserve for slow-moving or obsolete inventory was considered necessary.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when earned. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with FASB ASC Topic 985-605, Software — Revenue Recognition. The Company's revenue recognition policies are also in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins Nos. 101 and 104.

FAB UNIVERSAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Digital media publishing services are billed on a month to month basis. The Company recognizes revenue from providing digital media publishing services when the services are provided and when collection is probable. The Company recognizes revenue from the insertion of advertisements in digital media, as the digital media with the advertisement is downloaded and collection is probable. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of apps and premium subscriptions when sold and collection is probable.

The Company sells packaged and custom software products and related voice recognition product development consulting. Software product revenues are recognized upon shipment of the software product only if no significant Company obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is received or the resulting receivable is deemed probable.

In the PRC, Value Added Tax (“VAT”) of 17% of the invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities.

Functional Currency / Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of FAB Universal Corp is the United States Dollar (USD). The functional currency of DEI is the Renminbi (“RMB”) and its reporting currency is U.S. dollars for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates (6.1211 RMB to $1 at September 30, 2013) and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during 2013 (6.1689 RMB to $1) in which these items arise. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities. Long-term deposits represent cash and therefore, their carrying value represents fair value.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as set out below:

Estimated Useful Life

Electronic equipment 2-5 years

Office furniture and equipment 2-10 years

Vehicles 5 years

Building 48.5 years

Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease terms or estimated useful life

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Goodwill and other Intangible Assets - The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with provisions of FASB -ASC Topic 350, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Topic 350. Impairment losses arising from this impairment test, if any, are included in operating expenses in the period of impairment. Topic 350 requires that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Topic 360, criteria for recognition of an impairment of Long-Lived Assets. There was no indication of goodwill or other intangible impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Income Taxes - The Company is subject to the income tax laws of the U.S. and the PRC. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. The components of deferred tax assets are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.

ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. It also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, years open for tax examination, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. There is no material uncertain tax position as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 (See note 9 – Capital Stock and note 12- Contingencies).

Concentrations - For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the total revenues. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of September 30, 2012.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no individual vendor accounted for more than 10% of the total purchase. No single vendor accounted for more than 10% of total outstanding accounts payable as of September 30, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 3 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from U.S. as well as the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in which each entity is domiciled.

DEI was incorporated in Hong Kong in November 2010, and has not earned any income that was derived in Hong Kong since inception and therefore was not subject to Hong Kong income tax.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company were organized under the laws of the PRC which are subject to Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) on the taxable income as reported in their respective statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with the Enterprise Income Tax Law. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, DGC, FAB Digital and BFHTT are subject to EIT at a statutory rate of 25%.

FAB Media was qualified as a High and New Technology Enterprise in the Beijing High-Tech Zone on December 24, 2010, and is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% through December 2013. After December 2013, the tax rate will become 25% if FAB Media does not qualify as a High and New Technology Enterprise.

DEI files income tax returns with both the National Tax Bureau and the Local Tax Bureaus in the PRC. All tax returns of DEI since inception are subject to tax examination by tax authorities.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES (Continued)

FAB Universal is incorporated in the U.S. and incurred a net operating loss for income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2013, the estimated net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. income tax purposes amounted to $52,086,000 which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income.

Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appears to be uncertain due to the Company’s continuing losses for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance at September 30, 2013. The net change in the valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was an increase of approximately $86,000 and $2,537,000, respectively.

Company Overview

Below is an update of our entire business, from the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary Digital Entertainment International Ltd. (“DEI”), to our media business of podcast services, apps, advertising, and premium subscriptions. We believe our business of selling and distributing copyright protected media and content in China will continue to grow and generate profits due to the brand recognition of FAB in China as well as the continued support of the government for copyright protection in China. We believe our Media business will also continue to grow and generate profits due to the size of our podcast operations, our market leadership position, our substantial presence in iTunes and the potential monetization of the content we distribute through our publishing platform, advertising, sale of Apps and paid subscriptions for content. The network growth of our media operation has occurred faster than initially expected and it is management’s opinion that we are still in the early stages of growth for this industry as we are seeing the flow of quality content coming to the Internet increase at a rapid pace and audiences showing increased interest in the medium. FAB Universal believes that our network and relevance in our industry will continue to grow and that we are positioned to be one of the leading companies in the podcast monetization business. Our business is broken into three segments including: Retail, Wholesale and Digital (Kiosk/ Licensing/Podcasting). In order to expand our business of media entertainment and copyright transaction, in June 2013 we made approximately a $13 million dollar refundable deposit to purchase real estate in Miyun, Beijing, which purchase is subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors, which is still pending as of the date of this filing, pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding entered into by BFHTT with the relevant sellers. The building is being purchased mainly for the development of our new Talent representation and production as well as other media and entertainment related businesses of the Company. The building will be mainly used for performance rehearsal, recording studios, music production as well as media entertainment, and 5C kiosk R&D. The building is 95,000 square feet and the Company intends to lease the approximately half the space in the building to third parties to earn rental income. DEI has signed 10 artists. Should the board approval be received, we will be obligated to make two remaining payment installments prior to transfer, the first not later than the end of November 2013 in the approximate amount of $13 million and the second not later than March 2014 in the approximate amount of $6.5 million.

Retail

DEI has conducted the retail business through its flagship stores since 2003. We currently operate a 30,000 sq. ft. store in the prestigious Joy City shopping mall in Beijing, China and an entertainment superstore in SoShow in Beijing, China, opened in October 2012. Each store is over 20,000 square feet in size and carries the largest selection of copyright protected audio and video products in China, including CDs, VCDs, DVDs, blu-rays, books, magazines and portable electronic devices. FAB markets products to individual consumers. The flagship stores are recognized by many Chinese consumers as the right place to buy copyright protected products.

Celebrity signing events are a major driver to FAB’s retail stores which have been used as a popular venue for Chinese music and movie stars to meet their fans. Additionally, many stars outside mainland China, mostly from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan, wishing to enter the Chinese market choose FAB as their launching platform. FAB flagship stores regularly host such events. Those events not only promote sales of audio-video products but also increase our FAB brand recognition.

The SoShow, which is in a high-end shopping district of Beijing, store is designed to satisfy the tastes of a swiftly emerging middle class with maturing entertainment expectations. DEI’s SoShow store provides Beijing shoppers with its first audio visual “hypermarket.” As a preferred venue for product announcements, publishing parties, studio releases, author readings, movie showings, live promotional performances and concerts, DEI’s SoShow outlet is one of China’s first ultra-modern entertainment destination for music lovers, film buffs, game enthusiasts, and early electronic adopters.

FAB’s SoShow flagship store offers many new electronic digital products and mobile storage devices while serving as a center for the 5C download supermarket of traditional copyright protected audio-video products. Consumers can download the latest movies, songs, games, e-books and applications to mobile storage devices through the intelligent 5C Kiosk. Additionally, the 5C download supermarket also offers coupon printing, self-service payments, membership points checking, map searching, digital printing and other consumer functions. FAB’s intelligent 5C Kiosk is the leading multimedia digital network terminal providing services in China.

FAB’s SoShow mall location is traditionally famed as a bustling shopping area near Chongwenmen, a sprawling Beijing shopping district just off the East Second Ring Road. Hundreds of thousands of daily shoppers visit the district and frequent popular and ultra-modern shops that benefit from high foot traffic.

Wholesale

FAB wholesale distribution provides audio- visual products such as compact discs, video compact discs and digital video discs as well as books and magazines to audio- visual products retailers. FAB distributes these media products to over 80 customers including Sohu, Dangdang and Century Outstanding Information Technology Company, a subsidiary of Amazon.com. FAB’s wholesale business caters to three types of customers: large retail stores, FAB license stores and small wholesale/resellers. Customers place orders by telephone, through the internet or in-person and fulfillment is handled by FAB’s vehicle fleet or through direct warehouse access.

With over 100 suppliers and 80 wholesale customers, including the Chinese Government, the wholesale business segment is growing with DEI and strongly positioned to be the leader in copyright protected material as the media entertainment industry continues to expand in China.

Digital Media

Kiosks

FAB Intelligent Media Kiosks, based on 61 proprietary national intellectual property rights, are ATM style terminals where consumers can download copyrighted music, video games, ringtones, digital books and movies directly to their cell phones, memory sticks or other mobile storage devices. FAB Media Kiosks can also run video ads on the high-tech LCD screens and accept payments for utility bills, metro cards, and credit card bills.

FAB was granted a license by China’s Ministry of Commerce to license its business model that has been well received by entrepreneurs throughout the country. FAB has quickly grown its nationwide business network through its license and

regional agent programs and to date has expanded to over 40 cities and now has an installed network base in excess of 16,000 Intelligent Media Kiosks.

FAB kiosk is an innovative self-service vending kiosk designed and launched by DEI in 2008. The kiosks target the millions of mobile and portable device users combing interactive touch screen and LED display with a large selection of copyrighted content such as music, movies and games. The content is contained on internal hard drives within each terminal thereby eliminating bandwidth download problems associated with the internet and providing content owners with a secure closed system for digital file protection and accurate transparent accounting. The terminals are updated and monitored via web-linked electronic communications. There are thousands of licensed digital entertainment content files in each kiosk, such as music, movie and TV episodes, which allows the customer to play or download to their portable device or memory card with payment by cash, FAB membership card or ATM card. FAB has deployed in excess of 16,000 kiosks through our licensing program. Most of the kiosks are located in high-traffic areas, such as, office buildings, shopping malls, and retail stores. Revenue is generated by selling pre-paid membership cards, charging licensing fees and providing advertising.

FAB generates revenues from its Intelligent Media Kiosk business through the sale of licenses and then through ongoing media content download, media membership card sales and kiosk-based advertising.

The FAB Intelligent Media Kiosks have greatly enhanced consumer ease-of-purchase while reducing the appeal of pirated content, positively transforming market dynamics in China for legitimate content and facilitating licensing opportunities with traditional media publishers who desire safe access to the world’s largest, fastest-growing consumer market. In addition to media content terminals, FAB’s kiosk technology also addresses the specific needs of banks, supermarkets, shopping malls, office buildings, government offices, tourist resorts, university campuses and libraries and provides a foundation for the building of intelligent digital cities of the future.

FAB obtained an Internet Publishing License by China's General Administration of Press and Publication, the national agency of radio, film and television. This license grants FAB Universal the right to distribute both its exclusive and acquired Chinese copyright protected audio and video digital content over the Internet and mobile phone networks.

FAB Membership

In order to retain customers and increase cross-sales, DEI launched its client retention program, the FAB membership program in 2008. This program entitles customers to download digital content from FAB kiosks at lower costs than non-member customers. During the third quarter, sale of membership card reached more than 143,000. The membership provides bonus points for member’s purchasing products in any of the flagship stores. The bonus points can be exchanged later for non-cash gifts. FAB offers the following membership levels:


Price	Duration	Number of Downloads
RMB 100	3-month	Points are used when downloading different content. The range is 1-3 points per song, film, coupon, etc. 1 point=RMB 1 yuan So the download number for a card depends on what content the member accesses.
RMB 200	12-month
RMB 300	12-month
RMB 400	12-month
RMB 500	12-month

Libsyn Media

Libsyn is the subsidiary for our digital media and entertainment business. Libsyn is currently the industry’s largest network of independent and professional digital media publishers utilizing RSS (podcasting) as a distribution method for episodic, audio and video shows. The Libsyn Network received over 450 million download requests for shows in 2006, 1 billion download requests in 2007, 1.2 billion download requests in 2008, 1.4 billion download requests in 2009, 1.6 billion in 2010, 1.3 billion in 2011 and 1.6 billion in 2012 to approximately 50 million total audience members throughout the year. Libsyn's publishing platform hosts 15,368 shows in the third quarter of 2013. Management believes that Libsyn offers the best podcast publishing platform in the industry and is one of only a few podcast publishing platforms that are able to charge publishers for use of the service. The majority of podcast publishing platforms offer their service for free, in hopes of making money exclusively from advertising sales. Management believes that our ability to charge for the services we provide is a testament

to the quality of service. The total number of episodes on the Network totaled 1,607,196 during the third quarter of 2013, all of which are available for immediate distribution. With the continuing success of iPods, iPhones, iPads, Android’s mobile phones, Blackberry’s smartphones, we expect the number of content publishers using our service and the number of consumers watching the shows to continue to grow rapidly on an annual basis. LibsynPRO Enterprise service has 104 network publishers. As Libsyn derives a portion of its revenues through data transfer from PRO customers, our feature rich version of the PRO publishing platform provides Management with the tools to grow the number of PRO publishers and generates revenue associated with our data transfer business. During the first nine months of 2013, revenue from data transfer totaled $401,672.

Libsyn – Publishing Service

In 2012 the Libsyn Network received approximately 1.6 billion download requests for podcast episodes vs. 1.3 billion download requests in 2011, from a wide variety of distribution outlets to which Libsyn syndicates content. The Libsyn network received over 5.2 million requests for shows per day throughout 2013. Our network reaches over 32 million people around the world, creating what Management believes is a strong media asset and a very compelling platform for advertisers as well as smartphone App sales. Download requests are calculated by counting the number of shows requested for download by audience members. Libsyn works to generate profits by inserting advertisements in the shows in partnership with the show’s publishers, charging for the use of our publishing platform and through the sale of Apps. As the online digital media industry is in the emerging stages, the majority of these shows are distributed without advertising and the total download requests listed above are provided to give an understanding of the potential size of advertising inventory available for Libsyn’s third party advertising partners and its in-house advertising sales team to fill.

Currently, Libsyn distributes digital shows for our producers to a variety of web portals and content aggregators, for both download and streaming. Approximately 70% of the shows Libsyn distributes’ reach audiences using Apple’s iTunes platform which includes iTunes on the computer, iPods, iPads, iPhones and Apple TV. It is Management’s opinion that the Libsyn Network’s substantial presence in the iTunes Podcast Store is one of the Company’s valuable assets as consumers using iTunes are early adopters and spend money regularly on digital media. We believe this provides FAB with a unique offering for advertisers seeking that type of consumer and provides FAB with monetization opportunities for its podcast publishers through the sale of individual and network wide Apps.

The third quarter was a strong quarter for development of Libsyn products as significant improvements were made to the publishing platform, premium subscription service, and mobile app offerings. The first of these improvements resulted in a beta preview of the next generation Libsyn publishing platform (Libsyn 4). The Libsyn 4 platform allows podcasters to manage their podcasts from a greater variety of devices and web browsers including tablets. The user interface was reorganized to make Libsyn’s functionality more transparent and easy to use.

The MyLibsyn premium subscription service was also significantly upgraded to provide the subscriber user interface with greatly improved aesthetics, easier use, and it’s tailored for both desktop and mobile devices.

The embeddable HTML5 player was also modified to better integrate with MyLibsyn. The embedded player can now be placed on any web page. This Player that now contains premium content will direct prospective audience members to log in to MyLibsyn or purchase subscriptions to access premium content. In larger players, subscriptions can be purchased from directly within the player, thus lowering the technical barriers to making purchases.

Producers also gained a new tool for their premium offerings. They may now send emails to their subscribers from within the Libsyn 4 publishing platform. This tool allows for increased engagement with their audiences and provides more value to their premium subscription offerings.

The reach of Libsyn into app stores expanded in the third quarter of 2013 as new apps debuted in two markets: The Windows Store and the Windows Phone Store. Windows Store apps may be installed on computers and tablets running the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system while Windows Phone Store apps can be installed on Microsoft Windows 8 Phone devices. With these two app markets, Libsyn published over 1,300 new apps.

Libsyn Android apps received an upgrade treatment by gaining functionality closer to the capabilities of their respective iOS versions.

Libsyn - Apps

Apps are small software applications that users can purchase and download to their iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices with relative ease. During 2012, there were over 500,000 Apps in the App Store that have been downloaded by consumers over 25 billion times. App categories include video games, sports, productivity, entertainment, education and health & fitness. Some of these Apps are free, while others have to be purchased. These Apps range in price from $.99 to $100.00, with the average price under $4.99. FAB continues to push the Apps market using its podcast network and active podcasters to promote the Apps to consumers. Apple, Amazon and Verizon retain 30% of all App sales to cover the cost of running the App Store and App owners/developers receive 70% of the sales proceeds. FAB believes it can continue to generate revenue through the iTunes Store, Verizon Store and Amazon App Store, and are briefly outlined below.

Sale of Podcast Apps

FAB created Apps that work on the iPhone and Android platforms and are currently for sale in the iTunes App Store, Windows 8 Market and the Amazon App Store. FAB currently has approximately 4,813 Apps for sale. Podcasters then market their very own App to their show’s audience, many of whom use iPhones, iPods and Android phones. Management believes podcasters can be very successful marketing Apps to their audience, as they know their audience better than anyone else and are great influencers of their audience. The reasons Management believes an audience member would want to purchase Apps are: 1) Easier, faster access to the content. 2) Bonus content exclusively for App users. 3) Inexpensive and easy way to support their favorite podcasts. 4) Social communication features.

FAB currently offers this App as a free monetizational tool to podcasters on the Libsyn Network as long as they have a qualifying monthly account. Currently, there are approximately 15,368 shows on the Libsyn Network and approximately 32 million audience members who consume podcasts. Libsyn submits each App for approval, which is not guaranteed and is based on the respective terms of service and approval process of the App Store, and manages the collecting of the revenue and distribution of the podcaster’s share of the revenues. FAB expects to retain approximately 35% of the sale price that ranges from $.99 to $4.99 in most cases. These Apps are currently being sold around the world via Apple’s App Store, the Verizon Store and the Amazon App Store. In the first nine months of 2013, revenue from App and subscription sales totaled $343,296.

Libsyn developed a “Network App” which allows for hundreds of podcast Apps inside one fully functional App. This is very similar to Amazon’s Kindle App that includes tens of thousands of books inside one App. This Network App allows us to: 1) continue our business plan to offer App monetization tools to all producers in a streamlined, efficient process; 2) comply with the continually evolving and sometimes inconsistent App approval standards and their desire not to have ‘cookie-cutter’ Apps for all podcasts in iTunes in the App Store causing approval delays and rejections; 3) have more control over the actual marketing of the podcast Apps through expanded distribution of the Network App and cross promotional opportunities; 4) focus more time and attention on podcast shows with larger audiences that sell more apps than the smaller podcast shows. As a result of this change in ‘go to market’ strategy for iPhone Apps, FAB believes it could enhance revenues going forward due to the fact that we will have more control over the marketing of, wider distribution and more opportunities to generate revenues with a Network App. For our Amazon App products, we plan to continue to create individual Apps for podcasts on our network and off network, focusing on podcasts with the largest audiences.

Sale of Podcast Subscriptions and Episodes Via Custom Podcast Apps

Once a podcaster has successfully marketed an App to its audience and has created a significant install base, the podcaster offers new content on a subscription basis or release a special episode, in addition to its normal podcast episodes, and charges a nominal fee ($1 - $3) for that episode or episodes to its audience. By having a successful, extremely easy to use micropayment platform in iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch, Android and Amazon, the podcast audiences are willing to pay a nominal fee ($1.99), from time to time, for special episodes of their favorite podcast and even sign up for inexpensive subscriptions ($.99 a month; $8.99 for 12 months) for new content. FAB earns a portion of the subscription and episode revenue for administering the App account and delivering the content to the consumer.

Libsyn - Advertising

In the first nine months of 2013, Libsyn has executed multiple national brand advertising campaigns for companies including Audible, Hover and Ting. These campaigns run across multiple shows, with different advertisers, resulting in $655,599 in advertising revenue.

Libsyn’s Alchemy system is able to handle the insertion of advertisements into audio and video shows with geographical targeting capabilities, which was used for multiple advertising campaigns throughout 2013. In order to increase the percentage of filled advertising inventory we must continue to execute on our advertising sales strategy, integrate third party ad networks and portals and create relationships with more advertising agencies and their clients. Management believes that most advertisers prefer to deal with a few companies with large reach rather than many companies with smaller reach as it makes their advertising ‘buys’ and tracking easier to monitor. Client results of our largest advertising execution to date were excellent in Management's opinion and we expect more buys from the client in the future. We have now had multiple advertisers renew campaigns with Libsyn, demonstrating what Management believes is excellent back-end ad operational customer service on FAB's part and a satisfactory return on investment for our clients. Libsyn currently has 22 distinct ad categories we take to market. As the number of publishers joining Libsyn’s Advertising Network grows, so does the available advertising inventory for Libsyn’s advertising sales team to sell.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, FAB recorded revenue of $29.7 million, an increase of $28.0 million, from our revenue of $1.7 million in the same period of 2012. This increase was driven by an increase in revenue from the acquisition of DEI. During the third quarter of 2013, DEI reported $28.3 million of revenue. During the third quarter of 2013, revenue from the wholesale segment of DEI generated $14.0M in revenue with the retail segment providing $2.5M and Kiosks/licensing delivering $11.8M. The Libsyn business saw revenue of $1.4 million with significant increases in hosting fees, ad revenue and the addition of subscription revenue. The increase in hosting fees was due to the increase in the number of producers using our services.

During the third quarter of 2013, our cost of revenue was $15.7 million, an increase of $14.9 million over the 2012 figure of $0.8 million. This increase was driven by the addition of the DEI business and cost of revenue for the sale of copyright protected media. The costs driving DEI’s cost of revenue are the cost of the media being sold, the cost to deliver the media to the customer, and the license fee to the copyright holders. We also saw an increase in our Advertising Sharing and Subscription sharing costs and credit card fees during the third quarter of 2013 in our Libsyn business, which was driven by the increase in sales of our services. FAB generated a gross profit of $14.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, versus a gross profit of $1.0 million in the same period of 2012.

In the third quarter of 2013, FAB had operating expenses of $4.9 million, as compared to $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. Our operating expenses consisted of:

Selling expenses increased to $1.3 million in the third quarter 2013, from $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase was due to the addition of staff and related salaries and social insurance. Also, the increase is due to the increase in advertising commissions resulting from the increase in ad revenue.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2013, from $4.1 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was because of the issuance of stock to employees, officers and directors during the third quarter of 2012 offset by the addition of DEI and the administrative costs associate with this business. Consulting fees decreased to $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $1.5 million in the same quarter of 2012. This is due to the payment of consultants with stock in 2012 combined with the reduced spending for consulting services during the third quarter of 2013.

Research and development costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $83,388 versus $73,337 for the same period in 2012.

Net income available to common stockholders increased to $7.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $5.0 million for the same period in 2012. This increase in net income available to common stockholders for 2013 was due to the acquisition of DEI. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.35 in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $0.51 loss per share for the third quarter of 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

During the first nine months ended September 30, 2013, FAB recorded revenue of $78.2 million, an increase of $74.7 million, from our revenue of $3.5 million in the same period of 2012. This increase was driven by an increase in revenue from the acquisition of DEI. During the first nine months of 2013, DEI reported $74.5 million of revenue. During the first nine months of 2013, revenue from the wholesale segment of DEI generated $41.7M in revenue with the retail segment providing $6.8M and Kiosks/licensing delivering $26.0M. The Libsyn business added revenue of $3.7 million with significant increases in Hosting fees, ad revenue and the addition of subscription revenue. The increase in hosting fees was due to the increase in the number of producers using our services.

During the first nine months of 2013, our cost of revenue was $44.3 million, an increase of $42.9 million over the 2012 figure of $1.4 million. This increase was driven by the addition of the DEI business and cost of revenue for the sale of copyright protected media. The costs driving DEI’s cost of revenue are the cost of the media being sold, the cost to deliver the media to the customer, and the license fee to the copyright holders. We also saw an increase in our advertising sharing costs, bandwidth cost and credit card fees during the first nine months of 2013 in our Libsyn business, which was driven by the increase in sales of our services. FAB generated a gross profit of $34.0 million in the first nine months of 2013, versus a gross profit of $2.0 million in the same period of 2012.

In the first nine months of 2013, FAB had operating expenses of $13.0 million, as compared to $8.4 million in the first nine months of 2012. Our operating expenses consisted of:

Selling expenses increased to $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2013, from $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2012. The increase was due to the addition of DEI, adding $3.2 million of incremental selling expense driven by advertising commission and salaries and wages.

General and administrative expenses increased to $8.2 million in the first nine months of 2013, from $5.6 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase was driven because of the addition of DEI with a focus on future business development plans, renovation of office space and the addition of salaries and wages to support this new business. Consulting fees remained decrease to $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2013 versus $2.5 million in the same period of 2012. The decrease was due to the payment consultants for work performed in 2012 related to the acquisition of DEI

Research and development costs for the first nine months of 2013 were $223,927 versus $209,086 for the same period in 2012.

Net income available to common stockholders increased to $16.0 million for the first nine months of 2013, as compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $6.3 million for the same period in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Current assets at September 30, 2013 included $53.8 million in cash and accounts receivable, an increase of $27.2 million, from our cash and accounts receivable of $26.6 million at December 31, 2012. The increase is due to cash provided by the operations of DEI and specifically, in net cash provided by operating activities. The increase in cash is driven by the collection of cash upfront for signing long term license agreements for our 5C Kiosk business. Our cash balance increased $23.9 million from December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), which we refer to as disclosure controls, are controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

As of September 30, 2013, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the design and operation of these disclosure controls were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
