Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Board of Directors

Unicorn Media, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Tempe, Arizona

 

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Unicorn Media, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Unicorn Media, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 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 the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1.Business Description

 

Unicorn Media, Inc. (“Unicorn”) is a provider of Internet video solutions that enable companies to maximize internet protocol video profitability. Unicorn’s patented technology, UnicornOnce™, allows customers to ingest video content one time and deliver it to every internet-connected device via a single uniform resource locater (“URL”).

 

Unicorn is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona and was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 24, 2007. At December 31, 2013, Unicorn had two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Unicorn Media of Arizona, Inc., Tempe, Arizona and U Media Limited, London, England. Unicorn’s revenues are generated primarily in the states of Arizona, California, Georgia, New York, and Virginia.

 

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unicorn Media, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company believes that a significant accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as the result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Use of estimates and uncertainties: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these consolidated financial statements include amortization periods, allowance for doubtful accounts, the determination of the fair value of stock awards issued, stock-based compensation expense, and the recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance.

 

Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if these results differ from historical experience, or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate, even if such assumptions are reasonable when made.

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties common to companies in similar industries and stages of development including, but not limited to, rapid technological changes, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, customer concentration, protection of proprietary rights, patent litigation, and dependence on key individuals.

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Subsequent events considerations: The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 11, 2014, which is the date the Company’s consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and are disclosed in Note 10.

 

Revenue recognition: The Company primarily derives income from the sale of its online video technology platform, a cloud-based, software as a service (SAAS), which provides customers with technology that enables them to deliver live or video-on-demand (VOD) content to every internet-connected device, and dynamically insert ads anywhere in the stream.  Revenue is derived from three primary sources: (1) video content delivery technology and related support; (2) transcoding and storage services; and (3) professional services.

 

The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

 

Contracts for customers generally have a term of one year and are non-cancellable. These contracts generally provide the customer with a minimum monthly level of usage, and provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the monthly allowable usage. For these services, the Company recognizes the monthly fee during each applicable month.  Should a customer’s usage of the Company’s services exceed the monthly minimum level, revenue is recognized for such excess in the period of the usage.  Further, contracts entered into generally provide multiple-element service arrangements that may include various revenues such as streaming platform fees, transcoding fees, content delivery network fees, and, in certain cases, other professional services. The Company has determined that each element has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and therefore accounts for each element separately. 

 

Revenue recognition commences upon the later of when the application is placed in a production environment, or when all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

Professional services and other revenue sold on a stand-alone basis are recognized as the services are performed, subject to any refund or other obligation.

 

Deferred revenue includes amounts billed to customers for which revenue has not been recognized, and primarily consists of deferred initiation and professional service fees. Such fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated customer relationship of two years.

 

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs related to supporting the Company’s product offerings. These costs include salaries and benefits related to the customer support team, as well as third-party service provider costs such as data center and networking expenses and depreciation expense.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts: The Company offsets gross trade accounts receivable with an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable and is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific accounts. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Recoveries of previously written off balances are recorded when received. Provisions for allowances for doubtful accounts and subsequent recoveries are recorded in general and administrative expense. No interest is charged on past due accounts.

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Off-balance-sheet risk and concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred losses related to its cash concentration.

 

The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company’s accounts receivable.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the following customers individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenue and had the following balances in accounts receivable:

 

   2013   2012 
       Accounts       Accounts 
   Percent of   Receivable   Percent of   Receivable 
Customer  Revenue   Balance   Revenue   Balance 
                     
Customer 1   12.5%  $76,521    10.6%  $69,865 
Customer 2   11.5%  $-    16.2%  $123,349 
Customer 3   10.7%  $92,667    *    * 

 

* Sales to this customer were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Concentration of other risks: The Company is dependent on certain content delivery network providers who provide digital media delivery functionality enabling the Company’s service to function as intended for the Company’s customers and ultimate end-users. The disruption of these services could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

 

Property and equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income or loss in the period of retirement.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, computer equipment included equipment under capital leases with an initial value of approximately $3,394,000 and $1,420,000, respectively, less accumulated depreciation of approximately $854,000 and $60,000, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $923,000 and $244,000, respectively.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized as additions to property and equipment.

 

Deferred rent: Deferred rent is provided for differences in the timing of recognition of rent expense and rental payments over the respective lease terms. Certain leases require escalating rent payments over the lease term. The total rent payments are divided by the total number of months to compute an amount, which is charged to the expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The deferred rent asset and liability is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and occurs when the monthly straight-line expense differs from the monthly rent paid.

 

Long-lived assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During this review, the Company reevaluates the significant assumptions used in determining the original cost and estimated lives of long-lived assets. Although the assumptions may vary from asset to asset, they generally include operating results, changes in the use of the asset, cash flows, and other indicators of value. Management then determines whether the remaining useful life continues to be appropriate, or whether there has been an impairment of long-lived assets based primarily upon whether expected future undiscounted cash flows are sufficient to support the assets’ recovery. If impairment exists, the Company adjusts the carrying value of the asset to fair value, generally determined by a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not identified any impairment of its long-lived assets.

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Intangible assets: Intangible assets that have finite lives consist of patents and trademarks and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 12 and 5 years, respectively.

 

Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, this method requires a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, valuation allowances of approximately $10.0 million and $7.3 million, were recorded, respectively.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements by prescribing a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions would be recognized as components of income tax expense. The Company has no recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Stock-based compensation: At December 31, 2013, the Company had one stock-based compensation plan, the Unicorn Media, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

For stock options issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant, and an estimated forfeiture rate is used when calculating stock-based compensation expense for the period. For restricted stock awards issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant is calculated based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant. For service-based options, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a modified straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. For performance-based options, the Company recognizes compensation expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved.

 

Given the absence of an active market for the Company’s common stock the Board of Directors (the Board), the members of which the Company believes have extensive business, finance, and venture capital experience, were required to estimate the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time of each option grant. The Board considered numerous objective and subjective factors in determining the value of the Company’s common stock at each option grant date, including the following factors: (1) prices for the Company’s stock sold to outside investors in arm’s-length transactions, and the rights, preferences, and privileges of the Company’s preferred stock and common stock; (2) valuations performed by an independent valuation specialist; (3) the Company’s stage of development and revenue growth; (4) the fact that the option grants involved illiquid securities in a private company; and (5) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying the options, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions. The Company believes this to have been a reasonable methodology based upon the Company’s internal peer company analyses, and based on several arm’s-length transactions involving the Company’s stock, supportive of the results produced by this valuation methodology. Determination of fair value involved assumptions, judgments and estimates. If different assumptions were made, stock-based compensation expense could have been significantly different.

Interest and penalty charges, if any, related to uncertain tax positions would be classified as income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Since the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state and local income tax authorities for all tax years in which a loss carryforward is available.

 

Note 8.Stock-Based Compensation

 

Under the Company’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”), the Company has granted to employees, directors, consultants, and service providers options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2007 Plan provided for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and other equity awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors, up to an aggregate of 26,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2013, options to purchase shares of common stock remain outstanding at exercise prices ranging between $0.02 - $0.1135 per share.

 

Each option entitles the holder to purchase at any time, for a period specified in the option agreement, a number of shares of common stock specified in the option. Some options vest over time, some vest based on performance conditions, whereas others are fully vested upon grant. After the expiration of the period specified in each option agreement, option holders will have no further rights to exercise the options.

Note 8.Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

 

The fair value of each option grant issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that used certain management assumptions. The Company determined the volatility for options granted based on comparable public company data. The expected life of options is estimated at 7 years. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, cash dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, based on an analysis of the historical actual forfeitures, the Company applied an estimated forfeiture rate ranging from 13% - 20% in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s stock options as of December 31, 2013 and the stock option activity during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Note 8.Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

 

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $0.06, per share. The weighted-average assumptions utilized to determine such values are presented in the following table as of the year ended December 31, 2013:

 

Risk-free interest rate   .51% - .79% 
Expected volatility   65% - 90% 
Expected life (in years)   7 
Expected dividend yield   - 

 

As of December 31, 2013, there was approximately $1,047,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested employee stock options issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5.40 years. The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

 

The Company accounts for transactions in which services are received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of such services received, or of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Company determines the total stock-based compensation expense related to non-employee awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, total stock-based compensation expense was approximately $276,000 and $38,000, respectively.

 

In conjunction with the transaction discussed in Note 10, all outstanding options became fully vested in January 2014 and the option holders were paid out by the acquirer.

 

Warrants: The Company has granted warrants to investors (in conjunction with issuance of debt and equity) and Company advisors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2013, 450,000 warrants were issued to non-employees in exchange for advisory services provided to the Company. As of December 31, 2013, warrants to purchase 9,428,781 shares of common stock remain outstanding at exercise prices ranging between $0.02 - $0.1135 per share. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase at any time, for a period specified in the warrant, a number of shares of common stock specified in the warrant. After the expiration of the exercise period specified in each warrant, generally 10 years, warrant holders will have no further rights to exercise the warrants. The Company recorded approximately $127,000 and $28,000 of expense during 2013 and 2012, respectively, in connection with the warrants, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with consistent management assumptions as described above.

 

No warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2013. Warrants to purchase 751,174 shares of Company common stock expired during 2013. Upon expiration, the warrants were extended one year. Included in warrant expense is approximately $71,000 related to these warrants.

 

Until the holders exercise the warrants, warrant holders do not have any voting or other rights as stockholders of the Company.

Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all the assets that are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding. The voting dividend and liquidation rights of the common stockholders are subject to and qualified by the rights of the preferred stockholders. The holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption, or conversion rights.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: At December 31, 2013, there were 19,311,018 shares authorized, issued and outstanding of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
