1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

e.Digital Corporation is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. The Company is developing and marketing an intellectual property portfolio including (a) licensing and enforcing its Flash-R™ portfolio of patents related to the use of flash memory in portable devices, and (b) developing new licenseable intellectual property related to context and interpersonal awareness systems (“Nunchi” technology), advanced data security technologies (“microSignet” technology) and other technologies. The Company also provides eVU® mobile entertainment services to its travel industry customers.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position at December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2014 filed on Form 10-K.

 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.” The new standard applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard.

 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU requires management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the ASU (1) provides a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management's plans, (4) requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans, (5) requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). This standard is effective for the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after December 31, 2014 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

3. INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities included outstanding stock options. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

		For the three months ended								For the nine months ended
		December 31,								December 31,
		2014				2013				2014				2013
			$				$				$				$
Net income		$	275,741			$	698,794			$	133,324			$	217,244
Weighted average common shares - basic			293,328,330				293,186,908				293,328,330				293,186,908
Effect of dilutive common shares			835,944				1,094,169				806,988				1,654,361
Weighted average common shares - diluted			294,164,274				294,281,077				294,135,318				294,841,269
Net income per common share - basic		$	0.00			$	0.00			$	0.00			$	0.00
Net income per common share - diluted		$	0.00			$	0.00			$	0.00			$	0.00
Potentially dilutive securities outstanding at period end excluded from diluted computation as they were antidilutive			0				2,555,000				0				2,555,000

 

There was no difference in basic and diluted income per share for the periods presented.

 

4. LIQUIDITY

The Company has not identified any trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in a material increase or decrease of liquidity. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015 the Company ceased marketing eVU products and accessories, but at December 31, 2014 continues to service one customer through the term of the existing contract in September 2015. The Company does not expect the termination of eVU operations and the loss of eVU revenues to have a material impact on liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

 

 

5. INVENTORIES

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all the Company’s inventory is determined by the weighted average cost method. The Company reserves for inventory that is obsolete or determined to be slow-moving and classifies the slow moving portion of inventory as a long-term asset. The Company has ceased offering new eVU systems and accordingly has fully reserved inventory at December 31, 2014. The Company is providing eVU content services to one customer through the term of existing contract in September 2015.

 

Inventories consisted of the following:

 

		December 31,				March 31,
		2014				2014
		$				$
Raw materials			37,559				38,303
Work in process			12,842				13,393
Finished goods			29,512				31,858
			79,913				83,554
Reserve for obsolescence			(79,913	)			(29,635	)
			–				53,919
Less current portion			–				14,208
Inventory, long term			–				39,711

 

The foregoing is net of an aggregate lower-of-cost-or-market inventory adjustment of $81,609 at March 31, 2014.

 

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION COSTS

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee stock-based awards using a fair-value method and recording of related compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. Further, as required under ASC 718, the Company estimates forfeitures for stock-based awards that are not expected to vest. The Company recorded stock-based compensation in its consolidated statements of operations for the relevant periods as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		December 31,								December 31,
		2014				2013				2014				2013
		$				$				$				$
Research and development			2,547				–				7,641				849
Selling and administrative			9,982				–				29,946				1,797
Total stock-based compensation expense			12,529				–				37,587				2,646

 

As of December 31, 2014 total estimated compensation cost of stock options granted but not yet vested was $36,750 and is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately nine months.

 

No stock options were granted during the three or nine-month periods ended December 31, 2014.

 

See Note 8 for further information on outstanding stock options.

 

 

7. WARRANTY RESERVE

Details of the estimated warranty liability included in accrued and other liabilities are as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		December 31,								December 31,
		2014				2013				2014				2013
		$				$				$				$
Beginning balance			–				238				–				657
Warranty provision			–				(15	)			–				338
Warranty deductions			–				(188	)			–				(960	)
Ending balance			–				35				–				35

 

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The following table summarizes stockholders’ equity transactions during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014:

 

		Common stock								Additional				Accumulated				Total stockholders'
		Shares				Amount				paid-in capital				deficit				equity

Options

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the period:

 

						Weighted average		Aggregate
		Shares				exercise price		Intrinsic Value
		#				$		$
Outstanding April 1, 2014		6,613,578				0.0624
Granted			–			-
Exercised			–			-
Canceled/expired			(2,210,000	)		0.086
Outstanding December 31, 2014			4,403,578			0.0505		$	341,219
Exercisable at December 31, 2014			3,173,578			0.0488		$	251,429

 

(1)

Options outstanding are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.022 to $0.11 and expire over the period from 2015 to 2018.

(2)

Aggregate intrinsic value is based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2014 of $0.128.

 

Share warrants

No warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

 

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounts receivable are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets. Accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. Effective April 1, 2008 the Company adopted and follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) which established a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs under ASC 820).

 

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC 280 Segment Reporting provides annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise’s business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographical areas and major customers. The Company has two operating segments: (1) patent licensing and (2) products and services. Patent licensing consists of intellectual property revenues from the Flash-R patent portfolio and products and services consist of sales of the Company’s electronic eVU mobile entertainment device and related content services. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015 we ceased marketing eVU products and accessories but continue to provide services to our existing customers under existing contracts. We intend to terminate providing eVU services after existing contract terms are complete by September 2015.

 

Accounting policies for each of the operating segments are the same as on a consolidated basis.

 

Reportable segment information for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

 

		For the three months ended December 31,								For the nine months ended December 31,
		2014				2013				2014				2013
		$				$				$				$
SEGMENT REVENUES:
Products and services			42,995				58,867				147,711				183,329
Patent licensing			1,078,500				1,227,500				2,051,034				1,654,225
Total revenue			1,121,495				1,286,367				2,198,745				1,837,554
SEGMENT COST OF REVENUES:
Products and services			79,322				83,925				238,729				254,522
Patent licensing and litigation costs			117,185				112,500				342,774				337,500
Contingent legal fees and expenses			338,630				119,004				642,006				148,897
Total cost of revenues			535,137				315,429				1,223,509				740,919
RECONCILIATION:
Segment income before corporate costs			586,358				970,938				975,236				1,096,635
Other corporate operating costs			279,267				257,144				810,562				864,391
Operating income before provision for income taxes			307,091				713,794				164,674				232,244

 

 

The Company does not have significant assets employed in the patent license segment and does not track capital expenditures or assets by reportable segment. Consequently it is not practical to show this information.

 

 

Revenue by geographic region is determined based on the location of the Company’s direct customers or distributors for product sales and services. Patent license revenue is considered United States revenue as payments are for licenses for United States operations irrespective of the location of the licensee’s home domicile.

 

		For the three months ended								For the nine months ended
		December 31,								December 31,
		2014				2013				2014				2013

Total revenue			1,121,495				1,286,367				2,198,745				1,837,554

 

Revenues from one licensee comprised 16% of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, with no other licensee or customer accounting for more than 10% of revenues. Revenues from four licensees comprised 13%, 11%, 11% and 11% of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, with no other licensee or customer accounting for more than 10% of revenues. Accounts receivable from three customers comprised 66%, 14% and 11% of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2014. Accounts receivable from two customers comprised 52% and 37% of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.

 

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

Intellectual Property Litigation

Beginning in fiscal 2013 and continuing through the current fiscal year, the Company commenced new rounds of enforcement action with respect to its patent portfolios and as of February 1, 2015, had active a total of 12 complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, asserting that products made and sold by the defendant companies infringe the Company’s U.S. patent portfolio.

 

Commitment Related to Intellectual Property Legal Services

In September 2012 the Company terminated the legal representation of Duane Morris LLP related to Flash-R™ patent enforcement activities. The Company remains obligated to pay contingency fees on certain future royalty payments from previous matters.

 

In September 2012 the Company engaged Handal and Associates (“Handal”) to provide IP legal services in connection with licensing and prosecuting claims of infringement of the Company’s flash memory patent portfolio (“Patent Enforcement Matters”). Pursuant to a partial contingent fee arrangement, the Company is paying a monthly retainer fee of $30,000 to Handal creditable against future contingency recoveries. Handal has agreed to advance related expenses excluding experts and prior art search firms. The Company has agreed to pay Handal a fee ranging from 33-40% of any license fee or settlement related to Patent Enforcement Matters, less prior retainers and expenses. The Company may terminate the representation at any time but would be obligated to pay fees and advances.

In January 2012, the Company entered into a sixty-two month facility lease for its corporate office location, commencing May 1, 2012, for approximately 3,253 square feet at 16870 West Bernardo Drive, Suite 120, San Diego, California. The aggregate monthly payment is $6,343 excluding utilities and costs. The aggregate payments adjust annually with maximum payments increasing to $7,157 in the forty-ninth through sixty-second months. Future lease commitments at December 31, 2014 total $207,541. The Company recognizes rent expense by the straight-line method over the lease term. As of December 31, 2014, deferred rent totaled $29,438.

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Sources of Supply

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent accounts with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured financial institutions. Certain of the Company’s accounts are each insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The Company’s exposure for amounts in excess of FDIC insured limits at December 31, 2014 was approximately $2.03 million. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash equivalents.

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the number and nature of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their geographic dispersion. The Company has not incurred any significant credit related losses.

 

The Company relies on one legal firm to represent it in patent licensing and enforcement matters.

 

Guarantees and Indemnifications

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Some of the Company’s product sales and services agreements include a limited indemnification provision for claims from third parties relating to the Company’s intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. The indemnification is generally limited to the amount paid by the customer. To date, there have been no claims under such indemnification provisions.

 

The Company used to provide a one-year limited warranty for most of its products, but as of December 31, 2014, the Company no longer sells eVU products

 

Employee Benefit – 401K Plan

In September 2012, the Company adopted a defined contribution plan (401(k)) covering its employees. Matching contributions are made on behalf of all participants, according to the Safe Harbor provision. The Company matches 100% (dollar for dollar) on deferrals of up to 4% of employee compensation deferred. As of December 31, 2014, the Company made matching contributions totaling $10,537.

 

12. INCOME TAXES

For the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the provision for income taxes consisted of $31,350 of foreign withholding taxes on payments in connection with a patent license agreement. Excluding the impact of foreign withholding taxes, the current year annual effective tax rate is estimated to be zero due to the anticipated utilization of available net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to reduce U.S. taxable income.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company had deferred tax assets associated with federal net operating losses (“NOLs”), related state NOLs, foreign tax credits and certain Federal and California research and development tax credits, but recorded a corresponding full valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  At December 31, 2014, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

General

We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. We are developing and marketing an intellectual property portfolio including (a) licensing and enforcing our Flash-R™ portfolio of patents related to the use of flash memory in portable devices, and (b) developing and licensing new intellectual property related to context and interpersonal awareness systems (“Nunchi” technology), advanced data security technologies (“microSignet” technology) and other technologies. We previously also provided eVU® mobile entertainment services to our travel industry customers, however we ceased eVU services in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 with the exception of one remaining contract to be complete by September 2015

 

With the inception of patent license revenue in fiscal 2009, we determined that we have two operating segments: (1) patent licensing and enforcement and (2) products and services. Our patent licensing and enforcement revenue consists of intellectual property revenues from our patent portfolio. Our products and services revenue has been derived from the sale of eVU products and accessories to customers, warranty and technical support services and content integration fees and related services. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015 we ceased marketing eVU products and accessories but currently provide services to one customer under an existing contract. We intend to terminate providing eVU services after the contract term is complete by September 2015.

 

Licensing and Patent Enforcement Activities

We are commercializing our patent portfolios through licensing and we are aggressively pursuing enforcement by litigating against targeted parties that we believe are infringing our patents. We commenced legal enforcement actions in 2007 and since September 2012, the law firm of Handal and Associates has been handling our Patent Enforcement Matters on a partial contingent fee basis.

 

Beginning in fiscal 2013 we commenced new rounds of enforcement actions with respect to our patent portfolios by filing complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, asserting that products made and sold by the defendant companies infringe our U.S. patents. Currently, we have active lawsuits filed against parties believed to infringe patents covering the use of our Flash-R and Nunchi technologies.

 

Flash-R Technology Enforcement and Licensing Progress - In November 2014, our appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals regarding application of the doctrine of collateral estoppel as to our U.S. Patent No. 5,839,108 (“the ‘108 patent”) was successful. The Court upheld the lower court’s application of collateral estoppel to U.S. Patent No. 5,491,774 (“the ‘774), which has now expired. In December 2014 the United States District Court for the Southern District of California ruled favorably regarding our claim construction of the ‘108 patent. As a result, in December 2014 and January 2015, we entered into license and settlement agreements with additional defendants. In January 2015 we filed additional enforcement actions against multiple defendants.

 

 

Nunchi Technology Enforcement - We commenced legal action with regards to our Nunchi portfolio of patents in July 2014. We currently have two active complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

 

MicroSignet Technology - We are seeking to license our MicroSignet technology and to date have not commenced any legal actions but may do so in the future.

 

While we expect to file future complaints against additional companies and license additional companies, there can be no assurance of the timing or amounts of any related license revenue. We continue to develop additional intellectual property in the areas of context and interpersonal awareness systems as well as explore new technologies for possible development or licensing. For further information on our technologies and our patent portfolio and related licensing activities, refer to “Item 1 – Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

Our business is high risk in nature. There can be no assurance we can achieve sufficient patent license or other revenues to sustain profitability. We continue to be subject to the risks normally associated with introducing new technologies, including unforeseeable expenses, delays and complications. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that we can or will report operating profits in future periods.

 

Overall Performance and Trends

We focused significant efforts on developing, licensing and enforcing our patent portfolio during the last two fiscal years and during our current fiscal year.

 

We have successfully completed two rounds of enforcement litigation and are in the process of additional enforcement actions. There is a reluctance of patent infringers to negotiate and ultimately take a patent license without at least the threat of legal action. However, the majority of patent infringement contentions settle out of court based on the strength of our patent claims, validity, and persuasive evidence and clarity that the patent is being infringed. We believe we are building a track record of demonstrating the strength, validity and clarity of our patent claims that can result in significant future revenues from our patent portfolio.

 

Our eVU IFE business continued to decline in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 (fiscal 2014) and thereafter, primarily due to increased competition from personal devices. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we ceased marketing eVU products and accessories, but continue to provide service to one customer through the term of an existing contract.

 

While we reported a profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, revenues and profits have been sporadic in prior periods and we have incurred historical losses and negative cash flow from operations. We may incur losses in the future unless or until licensing revenues are sufficient to sustain continued profitability.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2014:

 

·

We recognized net income before income taxes of $164,674 compared to a net income before income taxes of $232,244 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

·

Our revenues from products and services were $147,711 for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 with $2,051,034 of patent license revenue. This compares to $183,329 of product and service revenue for the prior year’s first nine months with $1,654,225 of patent license revenue.

·

Operating costs and expenses totaling $2,034,071 in the nine months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1,605,310 in the comparable period prior primarily due to increased patent-related legal costs.

 

Management faces challenges and risks for the remainder of fiscal 2015 to execute our plan to increase Flash-R patent portfolio license fees and monetize our Nunchi and microSignet technologies. These challenges include, but are not limited to, successful execution of our legal and licensing enforcement strategy in an uncertain and changing legal and regulatory environment related to patent infringement. The failure to obtain additional patent license revenues could have a material adverse impact on our operations. Our patent licensing business is subject to significant risks discussed herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and is subject to uncertainties as to the timing and amount of future license revenues, if any.

 

 

Our monthly cash operating costs average approximately $135,000 per month. However, we may increase expenditure levels in future periods to support and expand our revenue opportunities and continue advanced technology research and development. Our quarterly results are highly dependent on the timing and amount of licensing fees and accordingly quarterly results can vary dramatically from period to period. As a result of this and other factors, past results and expenditure levels may not be indicative of future quarters.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements located in Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements,” and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014. The preparation of these financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventory valuation, intangible assets, financing operations, stock-based compensation, fair values, income taxes, contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe that, of the significant accounting policies discussed in our consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments:

 

	·	revenue recognition;
	·	stock-based compensation expense;
	·	income taxes; and
	·	Inventory reserve

 

Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. There were no significant changes or modification of our critical accounting policies and estimates involving management valuation adjustments affecting our results for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. For further information on our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Income Before Income Taxes

We reported a net income before income taxes of $307,091 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to a net income before income taxes of $713,794 for the comparable period of the prior year due to decreased patent license settlements and increased patent-related legal costs in the current year.

 

Revenues

Revenues decreased during the third fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year due to decreased license arrangements.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015 we ceased marketing eVU products and accessories but continued to provide services to our existing customers under existing contracts. We intend to terminate providing eVU services after one remaining existing contract term is complete by September 2015.

 

License fee revenues recognized fluctuate significantly from period to period primarily based on the following factors:

	·	the dollar amount of agreements executed each period, which is primarily driven by the magnitude of infringement associated with a specific licensee;
	·	the specific terms and conditions of agreements executed each period and the periods of infringement contemplated by the respective payments; and

·

fluctuations in the number of agreements executed.

 

In the future the following additional factors could also impact revenue variability:

·

fluctuations in the sales results or other royalty per unit activities of our licensees that impact the calculation of license fees due;

·

the timing of the receipt of periodic license fee payments and/or reports from licensees.

 

We are targeting new patent licensees but our results will continue to be dependent on the timing and amount of future patent licensing arrangements, if any.

 

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses include cost of revenues associated with products and services, and costs associated with our patent licensing and enforcement activities including contingent and non-contingent litigation costs and related enforcement support costs. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, operating costs and expenses increased by $241,831 compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

Patent licensing and litigation costs related to Flash-R portfolio enforcement were $117,185 at December 31, 2014 compared to $112,500 in the prior year’s third quarter. Non-contingent licensing and litigation costs and related enforcement support costs may be incurred without any directly related revenues in a respective period. Generally contingent costs relate to revenues during a respective period but can vary depending on our share of certain costs and expenses. Contingent legal fees and expenses related to the Flash-R portfolio enforcement were $338,630 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $119,004 for the prior year’s third quarter. The increase is primarily due to increased costs associated with patent litigation in the current period.

 

Cost of revenues associated with products and services decreased from $83,925 in the prior year’s third quarter to $79,322 in the current year. The decrease of $4,603 primarily relates to a $16,469 decrease in salaries expense due to reduction in the number of employees supporting products and services in the current quarter, inventory and reserve adjustments in the prior year totaling $18,373 with no comparable expense in the current quarter, offset by a reserve for loss on contracts at December 31, 2014 of $29,041 with no comparable expense in the prior year.

 

Selling and administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $185,481 comparable to $179,708 in the prior year period.

 

Research and related expenses increased by $16,350 primarily due an increase of salaries and related benefits expenses in the current year of $64,827 as compared $50,956 for the same period in the prior year. The current year’s third quarter includes $2,547 for noncash stock-based compensation expense with no comparable expense in the same period of the prior year. Research and related expenses can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the allocation of time spent by personnel who work on both revenue producing service and repair projects, on patent related costs and on internal research projects. Such expenses also vary based on decisions made regarding outside engineering and consulting.

 

Income Taxes

During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $31,350 for foreign taxes. During the same period of the prior year, the Company recorded a tax expense of $15,000 for state taxes.

 

Income

The net income for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $275,741 which included the income tax expense of $31,350. The net income for the prior comparable third quarter was $698,794 which included the tax expense of $15,000.

 

 

 

Nine months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2013

Operating income before provision for income taxes			164,674				7%				232,244				13%				(67,570	)			(29%	)

 

Income Before Income Taxes

The income before income taxes of $164,674 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 compared to a net income before income taxes of $232,244 for the comparable nine month of the prior year due to increased patent-related legal costs in the current year.

 

Revenues

Revenues increased during the most recent nine months compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year due to increase in patent license revenue from $1,654,225 to $2,051,034. We currently have one licensee reporting periodic royalties. One such payment was recognized in the second quarter of the current year and one in the second quarter of the prior year. All other royalties have been one-time fully paid up royalties. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015 we ceased marketing eVU products and accessories but continued to provide services to our existing customers under existing contracts. We intend to terminate providing eVU services after one existing contract term completes in September 2015.

 

While we expect additional patent licenses in future periods, there can be no assurance of the timing or amounts of future license revenues.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses include cost of revenues associated with products and services, and costs associated with our patent licensing and enforcement activities including contingent and non-contingent litigation costs and related enforcement support costs. For the nine months ended December 31, 2014, operating costs and expenses increased by $428,761 compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

Cost of revenues associated with products and services were $238,729 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $254,522 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease of $15,793 is primarily due to a $28,705 reduction in salaries expense as the result of a reduced workforce, a $25,188 decrease in material costs as a result of decreased lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments in the current year, offset by increased travel costs of $6,583 and a reserve against loss on contracts of $29,041 in the current year, with no comparable expense in the prior year.

 

 

Patent licensing and litigation costs related to the Flash-R portfolio enforcement were $342,774 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 comparable to $337,500 for the same period in the prior year. Contingent legal fees and expenses related to the Flash-R portfolio enforcement were $642,006 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $148,897 for the same period in the prior year. The $493,109 increase reflects the impact of prior year contingency fees being reduced against previously paid legal retainers. Generally contingent costs relate to revenues during a respective period but can vary depending on accumulated retainers paid and our share of certain costs and expenses.

 

Selling and administrative costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by $76,967 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to annual meeting costs of $55,563 in the prior year with no comparable expense in the current year, and a $51,497 reduction in consulting, legal and accounting fees, offset by increased stock-based compensation expense of $29,946 in the current year as compared to $1,797 for the same period of the prior year.

 

Research and related expenses increased by $23,138 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 due primarily to increased staffing costs of $119,991 in the current period as compared to $91,400 in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the workforce reduction costs in the current period. Research and related expenses can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on patent related costs and on timing of internal research projects. Such expenses also vary based on decisions made regarding outside engineering and consulting. Research and related expenses for the period ended December 31, 2014 included $7,641 of noncash stock-based compensation with no comparable expense in the same period of the prior year.

 

Income

The net income was $133,324 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 which included the foreign income tax expense of $31,350. The net income for the prior comparable nine month period was $217,244 which included the tax expense of $15,000.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2014, we had working capital of $2,024,182 compared to working capital of $1,809,684 at March 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014 we had cash on hand of $2,244,145.

 

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $456,282 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. Cash provided by operating activities included the net income of $133,324 increased by net non-cash expenses of $91,741. Major components also providing operating cash were an increase of $139,845 in accounts payable, a decrease of $20,623 in deposits and prepaid expenses and a decrease of $163,072 in accounts receivable. A major component reducing operating cash was a $95,964 decrease in accrued and other liabilities.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $304,686 for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. Cash provided by operating activities included the net income of $217,244 increased by net non-cash expenses of $73,192. Major components also providing operating cash was a decrease of $23,775 in deposits and prepaid expenses and a decrease of $114,421 in accounts receivable. A major component reducing operating cash was a $143,265 decrease in accrued and other liabilities.

 

Our terms to customers vary but we often require payment prior to shipment of product and any such payments are recorded as deposits. Patent license payments are normally due at signing of the license or within 30-45 days of settlement or end of royalty reporting period.

 

Individual working capital components can change dramatically from period to period due to timing of licensing, sales and shipments and corresponding receivable, inventory and payable balances. Accordingly operating cash requirements vary significantly from period to period.

 

Investing Activities

The Company’s efforts are primarily on operations and currently we have no significant investing capital needs. We have no commitments requiring investment capital.

 

Financing Activities

There were no cash financing activities during the three or nine months ended December 31, 2014.

 

 

Debt and Other Commitments

We currently have no debt outstanding other than trade payables and accruals. At December 31, 2014 we had no significant purchase commitments for product and components.

 

We have future lease commitments on our current facility as more fully described in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Our legal firm, Handal and Associates, provides IP legal services in connection with licensing and prosecuting claims of infringement of our flash memory patent portfolio. Pursuant to a partial contingent fee arrangement, we are paying a monthly retainer fee of $30,000 to Handal creditable against future contingency recoveries. Handal has agreed to advance related expenses excluding experts and prior art search firms. We have agreed to pay Handal a fee ranging from 33% to 40% of any license fee or settlement related to Patent Enforcement Matters, less prior retainers and expenses. We may terminate the representation at any time but would be obligated to pay fees and advances.

 

Cash Requirements

Other than cash on hand and accounts receivable, we have no material unused sources of liquidity at this time.  Based on our cash position at December 31, 2014 and current planned expenditures and level of operation, we believe we have sufficient capital resources for the next twelve months. Actual results could differ significantly from management plans. We believe we may be able to obtain additional funds from future patent licensing but the timing of licenses are subject to many factors and risks, many outside our control.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the relationship between the benefit of desired controls and procedures and the cost of implementing new controls and procedures.

 

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We engage in litigation from time to time as part of our patent portfolio licensing and enforcement activities. In fiscal 2013 we commenced new enforcement actions with respect to our Flash-R patent portfolio by filing complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, asserting that products made and sold by the defendant companies infringe our U.S. patents. In November 2014, our appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals regarding application of the doctrine of collateral estoppel as to our U.S. Patent No. 5,839,108 (“the ‘108 patent”) was successful. The Court upheld the lower court’s application of collateral estoppel to U.S. Patent No. 5,491,774 (“the ‘774), which has now expired. In December 2014 the United States District Court for the Southern District of California ruled favorably regarding our claim construction of the ‘108 patent. As a result, in December 2014 and January 2015, we entered into license and settlement agreements with additional defendants. In January 2015 we filed additional enforcement actions against multiple defendants.

 

We commenced legal action with regards to our Nunchi portfolio of patents in July 2014 and we currently have two active complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
