Independent Auditor’s Report

Board of Directors

MediaSite K.K.

Tokyo, Japan

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of MediaSite K.K. which comprise the balance sheets as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MediaSite K.K. as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Business

MediaSite K.K. (the Company) was incorporated in Japan on December 8, 2000. The Company is a leading provider of “Mediasite” the video management platform for academic, enterprise and event webcasting in Japan. Mediasite is the patented webcasting platform in the United States, which automates the capture, management, delivery, search and analytics of video lectures, online training, conference presentations and executive briefings. The Company is an affiliated company of Sonic Foundry, Inc., a public company in the United States and only sells the Mediasite system and related products purchased from Sonic Foundry, Inc, including providing support services for those products the customers located in Japan.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of obsolete inventory, useful lives of furniture, fixtures and equipments and valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments of the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is a distributor of Mediasite platform system which consists of hardware and integrated software. The Company also provides support services for that system and derives revenue from related professional services, support and maintenance agreements. The Company recognizes revenue only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company evaluates each of these criteria as follows:

 

    Evidence of an arrangement — Contracts or customer purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement.

 

    Delivery — Delivery is considered to occur when title has been transferred, except in instances where final acceptance of the product, system or solution is specified by the customer. In these instances, revenue is deferred until acceptance criteria have been met.

 

    Fixed or determinable fee — The Company assesses whether fees are fixed or determinable at the time of sale. The Company only considers the fee to be fixed or determinable if the fee is not subject to refund or adjustment.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

    Collection is deemed probable — Collection is deemed probable if the Company expects that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as payments become due. If the Company determines that collection is not probable, it defers the revenue until cash collection.

The company sales the MediaSite Platform system which consist of third party hardware and software bundled with professional services and maintenance support contracts provided by the Company. The third party hardware and software have standalone value to the customer and the company allocates the total consideration of an arrangement based on relative selling price using the best estimated selling price (BESP) of each of the elements, hardware, software, professional services and maintenance contract.

Revenue allocated to the support maintenance agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which is typically one year. The Company recognizes revenue from professional services upon performance of the services and recognizes costs associated with services as incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with three major financial institutions in Japan. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The deposit insurance system in Japan is subject to the Deposit Insurance Law (enacted in 1971). Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan (DICJ) is a main body that operates the system with the purpose of operating Japan’s deposit insurance system. From April 2005 on ward, deposits which come under the category of deposit for payment and settlement purposes –the deposits that meet three requirements- bearing no interest, being redeemable on demand and being normally required payment and settlement services- are protected in full. Meanwhile the protection of deposits other than those for payment and settlement purposes is protected up to a maximum of ¥10,000 thousand in principal plus related interest thereon per depositor per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on these balances.

The Company had two customers that had accounts receivable balances that represented 18% and 11% of total accounts receivables at March 31, 2013 and had no customers that had balances that represented more than 10% at March 31, 2012. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had two customers with total sales that represent 18% and 13% of total revenue in 2013 and the Company had three customers with total sales that represent 16%, 12% and 10% of total revenue in 2012.

Currently all of our product inventory purchases are from Sonic Foundry, Inc.. Although we believe there are multiple sources of supply from other contract manufacturers as well as multiple suppliers of component parts required by the contract manufacturers, a disruption of supply of component parts or completed products, even if short term, would have a material negative impact on our revenues as Sonic Foundry, Inc. is currently our sole, supplier represented 100% of total accounts payable at March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Trade Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from entities in, or distributors or value added resellers to, the education, corporate and government sectors. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are typically due within 31 days and are stated at amounts due from customers. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered to be past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on past due receivables. The Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on trade accounts receivable. At March 31, 2013 and 2012 allowance for doubtful accounts was zero.

Inventory

Inventory consists of Mediasite recorders and servers. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the specific identification method. The Company establishes provisions for excess and obsolete inventories after evaluating historical sales, future demand, market conditions, expected product lifecycles and current inventory levels to reduce such inventories to their estimated net realizable value.

Provisions for excess and absolutions was none and none, respectively at March 31, 2013 and 2012

Inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

Furniture, fixtures and equipments

Furniture, fixtures and equipments are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over shorter of the estimated life or the lease term. The estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation and amortization are as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Total depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was ¥13,160 thousand and ¥9,609 thousand, respectively

Software

Software consists of software the Company purchased from the third party for internal use. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. (5 years). Total amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was ¥2,375 thousand and ¥2,265 thousand, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the fair value of the underlying business. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset, or asset group, to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, or asset group. An impairment charge is recognized by the amount of the asset, or asset group, exceeds its fair value. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no events or changes in circumstances occurred that required this analysis.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs included in selling and marketing, are expensed when the advertising first takes place. Advertising expense was ¥21,369 thousand and ¥7,604 thousand for years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the deferred tax asset and liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets where, based upon the available evidence, management concludes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company follows the accounting guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company records a liability for the difference between the benefit

recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s tax return if the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that under an examination by the taxing authority that the tax benefit taken would not be upheld. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

Financial Instruments

The Company may use currency swaps, forward and option contracts to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange risk. Derivative financial instruments are reported on the Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reported in other expenses in the current years.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and reports its cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans to executives, foreign exchange forward contracts, account payable, capital lease obligations and loans payable at fair value. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and related required disclosures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance requires that each fair value measurement be classified and disclosed in one of the following three hierarchal categories:

 

    Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

    Level 2: Observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices) such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

    Level 3: Unobservable inputs that involve management judgment and are supported by little or no market activity.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s Level 1 assets and liabilities consist of its cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans to executive employees, foreign exchange forward contracts, account payable, capital lease obligations and loans payable. The Company did not have any other financial assets or liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans to executives, foreign exchange forward contracts, account payable, capital lease obligations and loans payable. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. The carrying value of capital lease obligations, including the current portion, approximates fair market value as the fixed rate approximates the current market rate of interest available to the Company. The book value of the loans to executives approximates the fair value.

Per Share Computation

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are presented on the face of the statements of income. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
