PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


This summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors, and the financial statements before making an investment decision. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.


Unless the context otherwise requires, when we use the words the “Company,” “RMG Networks,” “SCG,” “we,” “us,” or “our Company” in this prospectus, we are referring to SCG Financial Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation d/b/a RMG Networks, and its subsidiaries, including Symon Holdings Corporation (“Symon”) and Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (“RMG”), unless it is clear from the context or expressly stated that these references are only to SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this prospectus assumes that the underwriter will not exercise its overallotment option and that no outstanding warrants will be exercised.


Our Company


SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. (d/b/a RMG Networks), or RMG Networks, is a global provider of enterprise-class digital signage solutions and media applications. Through our suite of products, including media services, proprietary software, software-embedded hardware, technical services and third-party displays, we are able to deliver complete end-to-end intelligent visual communication solutions to our clients. We believe that we are one of the largest integrated digital signage solution providers globally and conduct our operations through our RMG Enterprise Solutions and RMG Media Networks business units.


Our RMG Enterprise Solutions business unit provides end-to-end digital signage applications to power intelligent visual communication implementations for critical contact center, supply chain, employee communications, hospitality, retail and other applications with a large concentration of customers in the financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceutical, utility and transportation industries, and in federal, state and local governments. We believe our solutions are relied upon by over 70% of the North American Fortune 100 companies and thousands of overall customers in locations worldwide. The installations of our Enterprise Solutions business deliver real-time intelligent visual content that enhances the ways in which organizations communicate with employees and customers. The solutions we provide are designed to integrate seamlessly with a customer’s IT infrastructure and data and security environments. These solutions are comprised of a suite of products that includes proprietary software, software-embedded hardware, maintenance and support services, content and creative services, installation services and third-party displays. We also provide cost-effective digital signage solutions to small and medium sized businesses through our cloud-based ChalkboxTV product, which allows businesses to communicate promotional messages to customers using their existing screen hardware.


Our RMG Media Networks business unit engages elusive audience segments with relevant content and advertising delivered through digital place-based networks.  These networks include the RMG Airline Media Network and the RMG Mall Media Network. The RMG Airline Media Network is a U.S.-based network focused on selling advertising across airline digital media assets in executive clubs, on in-flight entertainment, or IFE, systems, on in-flight Wi-Fi portals and in private airport terminals. The network, which spans all major commercial passenger airlines in the United States, delivers to advertisers an audience of affluent travelers and business decision makers in a captive and distraction-free video environment.  Based on information provided by our airline, airport, IFE and Wi-Fi partners, we estimate that the RMG Airline Media Network is comprised of over 120,000 IFE screens, nearly 3,000 aircraft, and 145 airline and private terminal lounges and can reach an audience of over 35 million passengers per month. As of January 1, 2013, we had partner relationships providing access to sell media inventory across 12 unique airlines.  In many cases we maintain multiple relationships with the same airline.  We work with six airlines to sell their IFE system assets.  We work with seven airlines to sell their media assets in their executive clubs.  We work with nine airlines to sell their onboard Wi-Fi media assets. All the partner relationships are exclusive with the exception of one airline partnership agreement to sell IFE system assets, providing us with what we believe will be a growing revenue opportunity as airlines continue to install additional digital media assets. The RMG Mall Media Network reaches over 62 million Nielsen measured monthly viewers in 161 shopping malls across the United States.


We believe that we power more than one million digital screens and end-points, and that the diversity of products that we offer and our technical expertise provide our partners and customers with digital signage solutions that differentiate us from our competitors. We are led by an experienced senior management team with a proven track record of building and successfully running technology and advertising businesses.

Our Industry


Digital Signage.  We believe the proliferation of digital signage in business and out-of-home environments allows advertisers and companies to engage consumers, employees and targeted audiences more effectively than traditional means. The digital signage industry is comprised of hardware, software and professional services that create solutions for advertising and business to business networks. The deployment of digital signage networks has continued to increase through the recent economic downturn.


As digital signage systems have evolved, they have become more cost effective and able to provide richer media content. The initial costs of planning and deploying digital signage infrastructure have dropped, reducing a significant barrier to growth. Today’s solutions support remote manageability, energy efficiency and the ability to process and blend rich media content. Customers are recognizing the flexibility and cost-effectiveness digital signage can provide compared to other forms of communication.


Digital Out-of-Home Advertising.   Digital out-of-home advertising is a relatively new form of advertising, but is becoming an effective way for advertisers to reach their target audience in captive locations for long periods of time. According to  Magna Global, Global Advertising Revenue Forecast and Historical Data, December, 2012, the digital out-of-home advertising market accounted for a small but rapidly growing portion of the $146 billion U.S. advertising market in 2011. U.S. digital out-of-home advertising revenue grew to $1.3 billion in 2011, representing a 10-year compound annual growth rate of 20.9%, and is expected to grow to approximately $2.5 billion by 2017. We believe the increase in advertising spending in this medium is largely a result of better research and overall visibility of the medium and digital technology, which have enhanced the reach and the overall value proposition of digital out-of-home advertising for local, regional, national and international advertisers. PQ Media states that Digital Place-based Networks, or DPN, growth is being driven by a number of factors, including consumers spending more time consuming media outside the home, DPNs are close to the point of purchase, the media buying process and the corresponding audience metrics are continually improving, and DPNs are resistant to the ad-skipping technology that impacts the television market.


Our Competitive Strengths


We believe that the following factors differentiate us from our competitors and position us for continued growth:  


·

Complete and customizable end-to-end solutions.

·

Our technology solution is scalable, extensible and security certified to meet demanding requirements.

·

·

We are trusted by some of the largest organizations in the world.

·

Our Growth Strategy


Our growth strategy is to leverage and continue to build upon the advantages developed by us, including through the following:


·

Expanding our customer base or increasing revenue potential.

·

Pursuing targeted acquisitions.

·

Cross selling between our business units.


Our Products and Solutions


We deploy digital signage solutions in highly efficient global networks with both the features and functions required for rich media solutions.  Our RMG Enterprise Solutions and RMG Media Networks business units provide distinct but complimentary products and solutions:


RMG Enterprise Solutions


Our proprietary software-based platform seamlessly integrates within our customers’ existing IT networks. We provide both a premises-based content management system for fixed in-building installations and a hosted system for content subscription services and mobility solutions. We incorporate state-of-the-art functionality and capabilities by working closely with leading global technology partners.  These relationships result in access to proprietary interfaces, and testing and lab environments.

Enterprise Software (“ES”) is a robust software engine used to collect content from various sources, re-purpose the content according to pre-defined business rule, and distribute the re-purposed content to visual solution end-points.  


Media Players/Smart Digital Appliances (“SDA”) are software-embedded media players that function as the intelligent interface between our ES content engine and the visual display end-points. SDAs “pull” content and content rules and parameters from ES and then display the content on the screens according to established rules and parameters.


Design Studio (“DS”) and Design Studio Lite (“DSL”) are two offerings that are either a full-function application installed on the client’s PC (DS) or web-based (DSL) software suites used to design the look, feel, function and timing of how content will appear and be used on end-point displays. The software features a set of pre-designed templates that can be combined with external content feeds that are provided by us or other external content providers.


InView Mobile-Data ( Mobility Solutions ) is a real-time on-demand technology that seamlessly integrates with the ES real-time data. InView Mobile-Data enables managers to use their iOS and Android mobile devices to access real-time dashboards containing key performance indicators and data alerts them to any issues that can affect customer service, operations, and product quality, thereby allowing them to quickly respond with appropriate actions to meet established company goals.


Subscription Content Services provides “business-appropriate” news and current information, created by our editors. In addition, weather, stock information, airport flight data, and 101 ticker feeds allow clients to customize the desired output in almost any manner they require. This service is hosted by us, and it complements customers’ messaging by keeping their audience engaged with fresh news and information throughout the day.  


Electronic Displays (“ED”) include a line of displays designed by us, such as SmartScreens, door displays, and LED wallboards that are architected to work seamlessly with our content management software. We also offer a large portfolio of third-party displays from some of the most recognizable brands in screen and electronic display technology.


RMG Media Networks


The RMG Airline Media Network. We help airline partners unlock economic value from their existing assets while providing advertisers access to targeted, high-value and captive audiences. We believe that the reach, scope and digital delivery capability of our network of digital place-based media provides an effective platform for advertisers to reach an affluent and engaged audience on a highly targeted and measurable basis.


RMG Mall Media. RMG Mall Media is a premier, mall-based digital video network engaging affluent audiences in premium shopping mall food courts across the US. Extended dwell-times coupled with full sight, sound and motion allow advertisers to cut through the retail clutter and deliver a relevant and engaging message. The network reaches over 62 million Nielsen estimated monthly viewers in 161 shopping malls in 61 top DMAs across the United States.


Proprietary Planning and Inventory System. Our proprietary planning and inventory system supports key advertising and partner management business processes such as customer acquisition, advertising inventory, customer management and revenue recognition


Corporate Information


We were incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2011 as a blank check company for the purpose of effecting a business combination with one or more businesses.  On April 8, 2013, we consummated the acquisition of RMG, pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2013, as amended, by and among us, SCG Financial Merger II Corp., RMG and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the Stockholder Representative, pursuant to which RMG became our subsidiary. On April 19, 2013, we consummated the acquisition of Symon, pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2013, by and among us, SCG Financial Merger III Corp., Symon and the securityholders’ representative named therein, pursuant to which Symon became our subsidiary.

As a result of the RMG and Symon acquisitions, RMG and Symon became our subsidiaries, and the business and assets of RMG, Symon and their subsidiaries are our only operations. Symon is considered to be our predecessor for accounting purposes.


Our principal executive offices are located at 500 North Central Expressway, Suite 175, Plano, Texas 75074, and our telephone number is (972) 543-9300. Our website is www.rmgnetworks.com. The information contained in our website is not a part of this prospectus.

The assumed number of shares of our common stock that will be sold in this offering is based on the issuance and sale of $25,000,000 of shares of our common stock at an assumed offering price of $11.02 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 26, 2013. Depending on the negotiated public offering price for our common stock, the number of shares that we may sell in this offering may change.

 

 

2

The number of shares of our common stock that will be outstanding immediately after this offering assumes the issuance and sale of 2,268,603 shares of our common stock in this offering and excludes (i) 13,066,667 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of all warrants outstanding as of June 26, 2013 and (ii) 2,500,000 shares of common stock that will be issuable under our 2013 equity incentive plan, if approved by stockholders at our 2013 annual meeting.

Summary Consolidated Financial Data of Symon


The following table sets forth summary selected financial data on a historical basis for our predecessor, Symon. We have not presented summary financial data for SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. because it has not had any operating activity since its formation, other than consummating its initial public offering and the acquisitions of RMG and Symon.

 

You should read the following summary selected historical financial and operating data in conjunction with Symon’s historical financial statements and the related notes and with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Symon,” which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. The historical balance sheet data as of January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 of Symon and the statements of operations data for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2013 of Symon have been derived from the historical audited financial statements of Symon included elsewhere in this prospectus. The historical balance sheet data as of April 19, 2013 (the date of the consummation of the acquisition of Symon by SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.) of Symon and the statement of operations data for each of the interim periods ended April 19, 2013 and April 30, 2012 of Symon have been derived from the historical unaudited financial statements of Symon included elsewhere in this prospectus. Since the acquisition of Symon occurred prior to the end of Symon’s fiscal quarter, the results for the interim period in 2013 do not include the last eleven days of the month of April 2013, and, as a result, the period contains fewer days’ results when compared to the three months ended April 30, 2012. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this prospectus before making an investment decision.  The following discussion highlights some of the risks that may affect future operating results. These are the risks and uncertainties we believe are most important for you to consider. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or businesses in general, may also impair our businesses operations. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results would likely suffer.  Please see “Cautionary Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Company

The markets for digital signage and advertising are competitive and we may be unable to compete successfully.

The markets for digital signage and advertising are very competitive and we must compete with other established providers. We compete with larger companies in many of the markets we serve. We compete for advertising sales directly with all media platforms, including radio and television broadcasting, cable and satellite television services, various local print media, billboards and Internet portals and search engines and digital out-of-home advertising represents a small portion of this market. We expect existing competitors and new entrants into the markets where we do business to constantly revise and improve their business models in light of challenges from us or other companies in the industry. If we cannot respond effectively to advances by our competitors, our business may be adversely affected.

Increased competition may result in new products and services that fundamentally change our markets, reduce prices, reduce margins or decrease our market share. We may be unable to compete successfully against current or future competitors, some of whom may have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales and other resources than we do.

Our operations are subject to the strength or weakness of our customers’ businesses, and we may not be able to mitigate that risk.

A large percentage of our business is attributable to customers in industries which are sensitive to general economic conditions.  During periods of economic slowdown or during periods of weak business results, our customers often reduce their capital and advertising expenditures and defer or cancel pending projects, facilities upgrades or promotional activities. Such developments occur even among customers that are not experiencing financial difficulties.

For example, in 2008, a very large U.S.- based mortgage company, which was at the time one of our largest Enterprise Solutions customers, did not buy any of our products as a result of the economic downturn.  Similar slowdowns could affect our customers in the hospitality industry in the wake of terrorist attacks, economic downturns or material changes in corporate travel habits. In addition, expenditures by advertisers tend to be cyclical, reflecting economic conditions, budgeting and buying patterns. Periods of a slowing economy or recession, or periods of economic uncertainty, may be accompanied by a decrease in advertising spending. The global economic downturn that began in 2008 resulted in a decline in consumer spending in the United States, which resulted in a corresponding slowdown in advertising spending by businesses and advertisers.

Continued weakness in the industries we serve has had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on sales of our products and our results of operations. A long term continued or heightened  economic downturn in one or more of the key industries that we serve, or in the worldwide economy, could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from historical and expected results.

Furthermore, even in the absence of a downturn in general economic conditions, our customers may reduce the money they spend on our products and services for a number of other reasons, including:


·

a decline in economic conditions in an industry we serve;

·

a decline in advertising or capital spending in general;

·

a decision to shift expenditures to competing products;

·

unfavorable local or regional economic conditions;  or

·

a downturn in an individual business sector or market.


Such conditions could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue from our products and services, with a corresponding adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


7





The recent and ongoing global economic uncertainty may adversely impact our business, operating results or financial condition.

As widely reported, financial markets in the U.S., Europe and Asia have experienced extreme disruption since late 2008, and while there has been improvement in recent years, the worldwide economy remains fragile as uncertainty remains regarding when the economy will improve to historical growth levels. Any return to the conditions that existed during the recent recession or other unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including declining consumer confidence, concerns about inflation or deflation, the threat of another recession, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy and extreme volatility in the credit and equity markets, may lead to decreased demand or delay in payments by our customers or to slowing of their payments to us, and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by these actions. These challenging economic conditions also may result in:


·

increased competition for fewer industry dollars;

·

pricing pressure that may adversely affect revenue and gross margin;

·

reduced credit availability and/or access to capital markets;

·

difficulty forecasting, budgeting and planning due to limited visibility into the spending plans of current or prospective customers; or

·

customer financial difficulty and increased risk of doubtful accounts receivable.


A higher percentage of our sales and profitability occur in the third and fourth quarters.

We sell more of our products in the third and fourth quarters because of traditional technology and advertising buying patterns of our customers. Advertising cycles, corporate year end budgets, government buying and regional economics will affect the amount of our products and services that will fit into customers’ budgets late in the year.  Any unanticipated decrease in demand for our products during the third and fourth quarters could have an adverse effect on our annual sales and profitability. In addition, slower selling cycles during the first and second quarters may adversely affect our stock price.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. These fluctuations may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We base our planned operating expenses in part on expectations of future revenues, and our expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. If revenues for a particular quarter are lower than we expect, we may be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would harm our operating results for that quarter. In future periods, our revenue and operating results may be below the expectation of analysts and investors, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Factors that are likely to cause our revenues and operating results to fluctuate include those discussed elsewhere in this section.

The nature of advertising sales cycles and shifting needs of advertisers makes it difficult for us to forecast revenues and increases the variability of quarterly fluctuations, which could cause us to improperly plan for our operations.  

A substantial amount of our advertising commitments are made months in advance of when the advertising airs on our media networks. Between the time at which advertising commitments are made and the advertising is aired, the needs of our advertisers can change. Advertisers may desire to change the timing, level of commitment and other aspects of their advertising placements. As a result, our future advertising commitment at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual revenues for any succeeding period, making it more difficult to predict our financial performance. These changes could also negatively impact our financial performance, including quarterly fluctuations.

Implementation and integration of new products, such as expanding our advertising assets, software, media player and services product portfolios, could harm our results of operations.

A key component of our growth strategy is to develop and market new products. We may be unable to produce new products and services that meet customers’ needs or specifications. If we fail to meet specific product specifications requested by a customer, the customer may have the right to seek an alternate source for a product or service or to terminate an underlying agreement. A failure to successfully meet the specifications of our potential customers could decrease demand or otherwise significantly hinder market adoption of our products and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.


8





The process of introducing a new product to the market is extremely complex, time consuming and expensive, and will become more complex as new platforms and technologies emerge. In the event we are not successful in developing a wide range of offerings or do not gain wide acceptance in the marketplace, we may not recoup our investment costs, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Shortages of components or a loss of, or problems with, a supplier could result in a disruption in the installation or operation of our products or services.

From time to time, we have experienced delays in manufacturing our products for several reasons, including component delivery delays, component shortages and component quality deficiencies. Component shortages, delays in the delivery of components, and supplier product quality deficiencies may occur in the future. These delays or problems have in the past and could in the future result in delivery delays, reduced revenues, strained relations with customers and loss of business. Also, in an effort to avoid actual or perceived component shortages, we may purchase more components than we may otherwise require. Excess component inventory resulting from over-purchases, obsolescence, installation cancellations or a decline in the demand for our products could result in equipment impairment, which in the past has had and in the future would have a negative effect on our financial results.

We obtain several of the components used in our products from limited sources. We rarely have guaranteed supply arrangements with our suppliers, and cannot be sure that suppliers will be able to meet our current or future component requirements. If component manufacturers do not allocate a sufficient supply of components to meet our needs or if current suppliers do not provide components of adequate quality or compatibility, we may have to obtain these components at a higher cost from distributors or on the spot market. If we are forced to use alternative suppliers of components, we may have to alter our manufacturing process or installations to accommodate these components. Modification of our manufacturing process or our installations to use alternative components could cause significant delays and reduce our ability to generate revenues.

The failure of our service providers to provide, install and maintain our equipment could result in service interruptions and damage to our business.

We are and will continue to be significantly dependent upon third-party service providers to provide, install and maintain relevant video display and media player equipment at our installations. The failure of any third-party provider to continue to perform these services adequately and timely could interrupt our business and damage our relationship with our partners and their relationship with consumers. Any outage would also impact our ability to deliver on the contracted service levels, which would prevent us from recognizing revenues.

We rely on third parties for data transmission, and the interruption or unavailability of adequate bandwidth for transmission could prevent us from distributing our programming as planned.

We transmit the majority of the content that we provide to our partners and customers using Internet connectivity supplied by a variety of third-party network providers. We also rely on the networks of some of our partners to transmit content to individual screens. If we or our partners experience failures or limited network capacity, we may be unable to maintain programming and meet our advertising commitments. Problems with data transmission may be due to hardware failures, operating system failures or other causes beyond our control. In addition, there are a limited number of Internet providers with whom we could contract, and we may be unable to replace our current providers on favorable terms, if at all. If the transmission of data to our partners or customers becomes unavailable, limited due to bandwidth constraints or is interrupted or delayed because of necessary equipment changes, our partner and customer relationships and our ability to obtain revenues from current and new partners and customers could suffer.

Computer viruses could cause significant downtime for our media network, decreasing our revenues and damaging our relationships with partners and customers.

We generate revenues from the sales of advertising and content that is aired in our partners’ and customers’ installations. Computer hackers infecting our network, or the networks of our partners or customers in which our network is integrated, with viruses could cause our network to be unavailable. Significant downtime could decrease our revenues and harm our relationships and reputation with partners, customers and consumers.

Our products often operate on the same network used by our customers for other aspects of their businesses, and we may be held responsible for defects or breakdowns in these networks if it is believed that such defects or breakdowns were caused by our products.


9





Our products are operated across our customers’ proprietary networks, which are used to operate other aspects of these customers’ businesses.  In these circumstances, any defect or virus that occurs on our products may enter a customer’s network, which could impact other aspects of the customer’s business. The impact on a customer’s business could be severe, and if we were held responsible, it could have an adverse effect on our customer relationships and on our operating results.

The content we distribute to partners and customers may expose us to liability.

We provide or facilitate the distribution of content for our partners and customers. This content includes advertising-related content, as well as movie and television content and other media, much of which is obtained from third parties. As a distributor of content, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement, or other claims based on the content that we distribute. We or entities that we license content from may not be adequately insured or indemnified to cover claims of these types or liability that may be imposed on us.

The growth of our business is dependent in part on successfully implementing our international expansion strategy.

Our growth strategy includes expanding our geographic coverage in or into the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. In many cases, we have limited experience in these regions, and may encounter difficulties due to different technology standards, legal considerations, language barriers, distance and cultural differences. We may not be able to manage operations in these regions effectively and efficiently or compete effectively in these new markets. If we do not generate sufficient revenues from these regions to offset the expense of expansion into these regions, or if we do not effectively manage accounts receivable, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and taxes, our business and our ability to increase revenues and enhance our operating results could suffer.

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, execute on expansion strategies or meet the demands of advertisers.

We have expanded, and continue to expand, our operations into new markets.  The growth in our business and operations has required, and will continue to require, significant attention from management and place a strain on operational systems and resources. To accommodate this growth, we will need to upgrade, improve or implement a variety of operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including the improvement of accounting and other internal management systems, all of which require substantial management efforts.

We will also need to continue to expand, train, manage and motivate our workforce, manage our relationships with our customers, and add sales and marketing offices and personnel to service these relationships. All of these endeavors will require substantial managerial efforts and skill, and incur additional expenditures. We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, and as a result may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, execute on expansion strategies or meet the demands of our customers.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions of Symon and RMG or of future acquisitions or investments.

We acquired our operating subsidiaries in two separate business combinations in April 2013, and our operating subsidiaries, in turn, have grown their businesses in part through acquisitions. For example, AFS Message-Link and Dacon, Ltd. are companies that Symon purchased in 2006 and 2008, respectively. AFS Message-Link allowed Symon to enter the hospitality digital markets as a key industry participant, and Symon’s acquisition of Dacon, a company based in the United Kingdom, expanded Symon’s contact center market presence and its base of large resellers. Likewise, RMG established its executive airline club business through the acquisition of the Executive Media Network and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in April 2011. As part of our business strategy, we intend to make future acquisitions of, or investments in, technologies, products and businesses that we believe could complement or expand our business, enhance our technical capabilities or offer growth opportunities. However, we may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future or make these acquisitions on a commercially reasonable basis, or at all. In addition, we may spend significant management time and resources in analyzing and negotiating acquisitions or investments that do not come to fruition. These resources could otherwise be spent on our own customer development, marketing and customer sales efforts and research and development.

Our acquisitions of Symon and RMG, and any future acquisitions and investments we may undertake, subject us to various risks, including:


·

failure to transition key customer relationships and sustain or grow sales levels, particularly in the short-term;

·

loss of key employees related to acquisitions;

·

inability to successfully integrate acquired technologies or operations;

·

failure to realize anticipated synergies in sales, marketing and distribution;



10






·

diversion of management’s attention;

·

adverse effects on our existing business relationships with its customers;

·

potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt or contingent liabilities;

·

expenses related to amortization of intangible assets and potential write-offs of acquired assets; and

·

the inability to recover the costs of acquisitions.


If our acquisition strategy is not effective, we may not be able to expand our business as expected. In addition, our operating expenses may increase more than our revenues as a result of such expansion efforts, which could materially impact our operating results and our stock price.


Our strategy to expand our sales and marketing operations and activities may not generate the revenue increases anticipated or such revenue increases may only be realized over a longer period than currently expected.

Building a digital signage solutions customer base and achieving broader market acceptance of our digital signage solutions will depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our sales and marketing operations and activities. We plan to expand our direct sales force both domestically and internationally; however, there is significant competition for direct sales personnel with the sales skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenue in the future will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient numbers of direct sales personnel. Our business could be harmed if our sales and marketing expansion efforts do not generate a corresponding significant increase in revenue.

Our RMG subsidiary has a history of incurring significant net losses, and our future profitability is not assured.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, RMG, which we acquired on April 8, 2013, incurred net losses of $11.5 million and $14.9 million, respectively. RMG’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and there can be no assurances that it will be profitable in the foreseeable future, if at all. RMG has minimum payment commitments with four of its advertising partners. These commitments constitute a significant part of RMG’s cost of revenues. If RMG’s revenues decrease in a given period, it may be unable to reduce cost of revenues as a significant part of its cost of revenues is fixed, which could materially and adversely affect RMG’s business and, therefore, our results of operations and lead to a net loss for that period.

Our RMG subsidiary has a limited operating history, which may make it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects.

RMG began business operations in September 2005 as Danouv Inc., developing a digital signage technology platform for ad serving and content distribution. RMG launched an initial media network with 650 screens in coffee shops and eateries in August 2006. In September 2006, Danouv Inc. changed its name to Danoo Inc. In July 2009, Danoo purchased certain assets of IdeaCast Inc., which operated a digital signage network in gyms and fitness centers and in the airline in-flight entertainment space. In August 2009, Danoo was renamed RMG Networks, Inc.

RMG acquired certain assets and cash from Pharmacy TV Network, LLC in March 2010 in an all-stock transaction. Pharmacy TV was a retail point of sale network in pharmacies across the United States. RMG subsequently shut this network down during the fourth quarter of 2011 due to lack of scale and advertiser demand. RMG acquired Executive Media Network Worldwide and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Corporate Image Media, Inc. and Prophet Media, LLC (collectively the Executive Media Network) in April 2011 to extend its airline media offering from airport business lounges to in-flight media. The Executive Media Network acquisition introduced a proprietary booking, tracking and inventory system called Charlie into the RMG technology portfolio. The Executive Media Network was subsequently transitioned to the RMG technology platform for content delivery and network management. This acquisition also consolidated the number of companies in the United States working with airlines to sell media. During the first quarter of 2012, RMG divested the NYTimes.com Today network, and in July 2012 RMG sold the Fitness Network.

RMG took steps to align resources behind the airline media properties because RMG was a category leader in that space in 2012.  Accordingly, it has a limited operating history for operations upon which you can evaluate the viability and sustainability of its business and its acceptance by advertisers and consumers. It is also difficult to evaluate the viability of its use of audiovisual advertising displays in airline executive clubs, IFE displays, Wi-Fi advertising and other digital out-of-home commercial locations as a business model because it does not have sufficient experience to address the risks frequently encountered by early stage companies using new forms of advertising media and entering new and rapidly evolving markets. These circumstances may make it difficult to evaluate RMG’s business and prospects.

The airline industry is highly competitive, and a substantial weakening of, or business failure by, any of our partner airlines could negatively affect our revenues and jeopardize any investment we make in deploying the RMG Airline Media Network in airline executive clubs.

The airline industry is highly competitive and has experienced substantial consolidation. Because our ability to generate revenues from advertising sales and services depends upon our ongoing relationships with a limited number of airlines, any substantial weakening or failure of the business of one or more of our existing airlines, or the consolidation of one or more of our airlines with a third party, could cause our revenues to decline, damaging our business and prospects.

We have in the past made, and plan in the future to make, significant investments in the equipment, installation and support of the RMG Airline Media Network within airline executive clubs. We intend to pursue opportunities where we may invest in new airline relationships and the deployment of new media inventory, and the weakening, failure or acquisition of any of our airline partners in the future could result in our loss of our investment and/or a negative return on our investment. In addition, we may incur additional expense recovering our equipment from airline executive clubs in the event any such clubs cease to operate or close for any reason.

If we are unable to retain or renew existing partnerships with airlines, IFE and Wi-Fi providers on commercially advantageous terms, we may be unable to maintain or expand RMG Airline Media Network coverage and our costs may increase significantly in the future.

Our ability to generate revenues from advertising sales depends largely upon our ability to provide a large air travel advertising network for the display of advertisements. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able retain or renew our existing partnerships with airlines, IFE and Wi-Fi providers, and any failure to maintain our network could damage our relationships with advertisers and materially and negatively affect our business.

We currently have ten partnership contracts that have terms ranging from one to five years. Four contracts renew automatically unless terminated prior to renewal while the rest have no automatic renewal provisions. Three partnership contracts were subject to renewal in 2013. We have renewed two of these contracts before expiration at terms comparable to the prior contracts. One contract expired and was not renewed. In addition, we have minimum revenue commitments to four of our partners, which comprise a significant portion of our total cost of revenues.  These commitments may increase over time and as partnership contracts terminate, we may experience a significant increase in our costs of revenues when we have to renew these contracts. If we cannot pass increased costs onto advertisers through rate increases, our earnings and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, many of our partnership contracts contain provisions granting us certain exclusive advertising rights. We may not be able to retain these exclusivity provisions when we renew these contracts. If we were to lose exclusivity, our advertisers may decide to advertise with our competitors or otherwise reduce their spending on the RMG Airline Media Network and we may lose market share.

Our partners may terminate their contracts with us or may not enter into new contracts with us on terms that are commercially advantageous to us. If our partners seek to negotiate terms that are less favorable to us and we accept such terms, or if we seek to negotiate better terms, but are unable to do so, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We have relied, and expect to continue to rely, on a limited number of advertisers for a significant portion of our advertising-related revenues, and such revenues could decline due to the delay of orders from, or the loss of, one or more significant advertisers.

We expect that a small number of advertisers will constitute a significant portion of our advertising-related revenues for the foreseeable future. Our relationships with these advertisers may not expand or may be disrupted. If a major advertiser purchases less advertising or defers orders in any particular period, or if a relationship with a major advertiser is terminated, our revenues could decline and our operating results may suffer. We are also obligated to provide minimum annual guarantees to certain airline and media partners, which we could have difficulty satisfying if our advertising revenues significantly decrease for any reason.

If advertisers or the viewing public do not accept, or lose interest in, our digital out-of-home advertising network, our revenues may be negatively affected and our business may not expand or be successful.

The market for digital out-of-home advertising networks worldwide is relatively new and its potential is uncertain. We compete for advertising spending with many forms of more established advertising media. Our success depends on the acceptance of digital out-of-home advertising networks by advertisers and their continuing interest in these media networks as components of their advertising strategies. Our success also depends on the viewing public continuing to be receptive towards


12





its advertising network. Advertisers may elect not to use our services if they believe that consumers are not receptive to our networks or that our networks do not provide sufficient value as effective advertising media. Likewise, if consumers find some element of our networks, such as its in-flight Roadblock Unit, to be disruptive or intrusive, the airlines may decide not to place our digital displays in their properties or allow us to sell advertising on their IFE systems and advertisers may view our advertising network as a less attractive advertising medium compared to other alternatives. In that event, advertisers may decide to reduce their spending on the RMG Airline Media Network. If a substantial number of advertisers lose interest in advertising on the RMG Airline Media Network for these or other reasons, we will be unable to generate sufficient revenues and cash flow to operate our business, and our advertising service revenue, liquidity and results of operations could be negatively affected.

Advertisers may not accept our measurements of our networks audiences or the methodologies may change, which could negatively impact our ability to market and sell our advertising packages.

We engage third-party research firms to study the number of people viewing our networks, consumer viewing habits and brand recall. Because our digital out-of-home networks are different from at-home broadcast media, third-party research firms have developed measuring standards and methodologies that differ from those used to measure the amount and characteristics of viewers for other broadcast media. We market and sell advertising packages to advertisers based on these measurements. If third-party research firms were to change the way they measure viewers or their viewing habits, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to sell advertising. In addition, if advertisers do not accept or challenge the way third parties measure our viewers or their viewing habits, advertisers may be unwilling to purchase advertising at prices acceptable to us, if at all, and our revenues and operating results could be negatively impacted.

If consumers do not accept our ad-based networks as a part of their out-of-home experience, we may be unable to grow or maintain our Media Networks business.

The success of our Media Networks business depends, in part, upon the long-term acceptance of digital media in out-of-home settings by consumers. If consumer viewership of our networks or sentiment towards advertising in general, shifts such that consumers become less receptive, advertisers may reduce their spending and partners may decide not to carry our networks.

If people change the way they travel or reduce the amount that they travel, our revenues may decline and our business may suffer.

Our success in selling advertising depends, in part, on high traffic airlines and airline executive clubs, which increases the number of potential viewers for the RMG Airline Media Network. The price at which we sell advertising aired on the RMG Airline Media Network is a direct result of the number of viewers and the quality of those viewers. If the number of travelers visiting the airline clubs or flying on commercial airplanes decreases, advertisers may decide not to advertise on the RMG Airline Media Network, may purchase less advertising on the RMG Airline Media Network or may not be willing to pay for advertising at price points necessary for it to succeed. If alternative methods of communication such as the Internet and other forms of travel increase in popularity, fewer consumers may visit our travel media locations. If consumers change the way they travel, such as increasing travel by car, they may not be receptive to our programming. In either case, our ability to generate revenues from advertisers could decrease and our operating results could decline.

If a market for ChalkboxTV does not develop or if we are unable to successfully develop, introduce, market and sell ChalkboxTV, our results of operations could be harmed.

In April 2013, we launched ChalkboxTV, an easy-to-install in-store signage solution, through a network of dealers and resellers.  The success of ChalkboxTV depends upon market acceptance of the product. Digital signage is an emerging market, and we cannot be sure that potential customers will accept ChalkboxTV as an advertising solution. Demand and market acceptance of the product is subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk and it is difficult to predict the size of the market and its growth rate. If a sufficient market fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, we may be unable to recover the losses we will have incurred in the development of ChalkboxTV.

The process of introducing a new product to the market is extremely complex, time consuming and expensive, and will become more complex as new platforms and technologies emerge. In the event ChalkboxTV does not gain wide acceptance in the marketplace, we may not recoup our research and development costs, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. We may experience unanticipated delays in introducing ChalkboxTV to the market and may be unable to introduce ChalkboxTV in time to capture market opportunities, satisfy the requirements and specifications of our customers or achieve significant or sustainable acceptance in the marketplace.  


13





To market and sell ChalkboxTV, we will need to develop warranties, guarantees and other terms and conditions relating to the product that will be acceptable to the marketplace, and develop a service organization to aid in servicing the product. Failure to achieve any of these objectives may slow the development of a sufficient market for ChalkboxTV.  In addition, we will also need to develop and manage new sales channels and distribution arrangements. Because we have limited experience in developing and managing such channels, we may not be successful in reaching a sufficiently broad customer base. Failure to develop or manage sales channels effectively would limit our ability to succeed in this market and could adversely affect our ability to grow our customer base and revenue. Our inability to generate satisfactory revenues from ChalkboxTV to offset our development costs could harm our operating results.

We rely significantly on information systems and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of those systems could harm our ability to effectively operate our business, harm our net sales, increase our expenses and harm our reputation.

Our ability to effectively serve our customers on a timely basis depends significantly on our information systems. To manage the growth of our operations, we will need to continue to improve and expand our operational and financial systems, internal controls and business processes; in doing so, we could encounter implementation issues and incur substantial additional expenses. The failure of our information systems to operate effectively, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems or a breach in security of these systems could adversely impact financial accounting and reporting, efficiency of our operations and our ability to properly forecast earnings and cash requirements. We could be required to make significant additional expenditures to remediate any such failure, problem or breach. Such events may have a material adverse effect on us.

Our current or future internet-based operations may be affected by our reliance on third-party hardware and software providers, technology changes, risks related to the failure of computer systems that operate our internet business, telecommunications failures, electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. Furthermore, our ability to conduct business on the internet may be affected by liability for online content, patent infringement and state and federal privacy laws.

In addition, we may now and in the future implement new systems to increase efficiencies and profitability. To manage growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve and expand our operational and financial systems, internal controls and business processes. When implementing new or changing existing processes, we may encounter transitional issues and incur substantial additional expenses.

Experienced computer programmers and hackers, or even internal users, may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate our confidential information or that of third parties, including our customers, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. In addition, employee error, malfeasance or other errors in the storage, use or transmission of any such information could result in a disclosure to third parties outside of our network. As a result, we could incur significant expenses addressing problems created by any such inadvertent disclosure or any security breaches of its network. Any compromise of customer information could subject us to customer or government litigation and harm our reputation, which could adversely affect our business and growth.

We may not obtain sufficient patent protection for our systems, processes and technology, which could harm our competitive position and increase our expenses.

Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our proprietary technology. As of December 31, 2012, we held three issued patents and four pending patent applications in the United States that we consider to be material to our business. Any patents issued may provide only limited protection for our technology and the rights that may be granted under any future issued patents may not provide competitive advantages to us. Any patent applications may not result in issued patents. Also, patent protection in foreign countries may be limited or unavailable where we need this protection. Competitors may independently develop similar technologies, design around our patents or successfully challenge any issued patent that we hold.

We rely upon trademark, copyright and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights, and if these rights are not sufficiently protected, our ability to compete and generate revenues could be harmed.

We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, and contractual restrictions, such as confidentiality agreements and licenses, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Our ability to compete and expand our business could suffer if these rights are not adequately protected. We seek to protect our source code for our software, design code for our advertising network, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws. We license our software under signed license agreements, which impose restrictions on the licensee’s ability to utilize the software. We also seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees and consultants with access to its proprietary



14





information to execute confidentiality agreements. The steps taken by us to protect our proprietary information may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. Our proprietary rights may not be adequately protected because:


·

laws and contractual restrictions may not prevent misappropriation of our technologies or deter others from developing similar technologies; and

·

policing unauthorized use of our products and trademarks is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and we may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use.


The laws of certain foreign countries may not protect the use of unregistered trademarks or our proprietary technologies to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. As a result, international protection of our image may be limited and our right to use our trademarks and technologies outside the United States could be impaired. Other persons or entities may have rights to trademarks that contain portions of our marks or may have registered similar or competing marks for digital signage in foreign countries. There may also be other prior registrations of trademarks identical or similar to our trademarks in other foreign countries. Our inability to register our trademarks or technologies or purchase or license the right to use the relevant trademarks or technologies in these jurisdictions could limit our ability to penetrate new markets in jurisdictions outside the United States.

Litigation may be necessary to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights, to enforce these rights or to defend against claims by third parties alleging that we infringe, dilute or otherwise violate third-party trademark or other intellectual property rights. Any litigation or claims brought by or against us, whether with or without merit, or whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Any intellectual property litigation or claims against us could result in the loss or compromise of our intellectual property rights, could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses on unfavorable terms, if available at all or prevent us from manufacturing or selling certain products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be time-consuming, costly to defend and result in its loss of significant rights.

Other parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us, and our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. From time to time, we receive letters alleging infringement of intellectual property rights of others. We may also initiate claims against third parties to defend our intellectual property. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from our core business. If there is a successful claim of infringement against us, we may be required to pay substantial damages to the party claiming infringement, develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to develop non-infringing technologies or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis could harm our business. Also, we may be unaware of filed patent applications that relate to our products. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction, which could prevent us from operating portions of our business or using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

We depend on key executive management and other key personal, and may not be able to retain or replace these individuals or recruit additional personnel, which could harm our business.

We depend on the leadership and experience of our key executive management, as well as other key personnel with specialized industry, sales and technical knowledge and/or industry relationships. Because of the intense competition for these employees, particularly in certain of the metropolitan areas in which we operate, we may be unable to retain our management team and other key personnel and may be unable to find qualified replacements if their services were no longer available to us.  All of our key employees are employed on an “at will” basis and we do not have key-man life insurance covering any of our employees.The loss of the services of any of our executive management members or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, as we may not be able to find suitable individuals to replace such personnel on a timely basis or without incurring increased costs, or at all.

Our facilities are located in areas that could be negatively impacted by natural disasters.

Our business operations depend on our ability to maintain and protect our facilities, computer systems and personnel, which are primarily located in Plano, Texas. In addition, we manage our networks from our headquarters in Plano, and have significant operations in San Francisco, California. Plano is located in an area that experiences frequent severe weather, including tornadoes, and San Francisco exists on or near known earthquake fault zones. Should a tornado, earthquake or other catastrophe, such as fires, floods, power loss, communication failure, terrorist acts or similar events, disable our facilities, our operations would be disrupted. While we have developed a backup and recovery plan, such plan may not ultimately prove effective.

Government regulation of the telecommunications and advertising industries could require us to change our business practices and expose us to legal action.

The Federal Communications Commission, or the FCC, has broad jurisdiction over the telecommunications industry. FCC licensing, program content and related regulations generally do not currently affect us. However, the FCC could promulgate new regulations that impact our business directly or indirectly or interpret existing laws in a manner that would cause us to incur significant compliance costs or force us to alter our business strategy.

FCC regulations also affect many of our content providers and, therefore, these regulations may indirectly affect our business. In addition, the advertising industry is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration and other federal and state agencies, and to review by various civic groups and trade organizations, including the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. New laws or regulations governing advertising could substantially harm our business.

We may also be required to obtain various regulatory approvals from local, state or federal governmental bodies. We may not be able to obtain any required approvals, and any approval may be granted on terms that are unacceptable to us or that adversely affect our business.

Changes in regulations relating to Wi-Fi networks or other areas of the Internet may require us to alter our business practices or incur greater operating expenses.

A number of regulations, including those referenced below, may impact our business as a result of our use of Wi-Fi networks. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, liability for distributing materials that infringe copyrights or other rights. Portions of the Communications Decency Act are intended to provide statutory protections to online service providers who distribute third-party content. The Child Online Protection Act and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act restrict the distribution of materials considered harmful to children and impose additional restrictions on the ability of online services to collect information from minors. The costs of compliance with these regulations, and other regulations relating to our Wi-Fi networks or other areas of our business, may be significant. The manner in which these and other regulations may be interpreted or enforced may subject us to potential liability, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Changes to these and other regulations may impose additional burdens on us or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results because of, for example, increased costs relating to legal compliance, defense against adverse claims or damages, or the reduction or elimination of features, functionality or content from our Wi-Fi networks. Likewise, any failure on our part to comply with these and other regulations may subject us to additional liabilities.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our debt obligations.


We have $34.0 million in outstanding indebtedness, including $24.0 million senior indebtedness that is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our outstanding indebtedness will depend on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. If we are unable to make payments or otherwise default on our debt obligations, the lenders could foreclose on our assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially impact our business.

We believe that the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash and equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated organic cash needs for at least the next 12 months. The timing and amount of our working capital and capital expenditure requirements may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including:


·

market acceptance of our products and services;

·

the need to adapt to changing advertiser, airline and consumer preferences, as well as changing technologies and customers’ technical requirements;

·

the existence of opportunities for expansion, including investing in technology infrastructure; and

·

access to and availability of sufficient management, technical, marketing and financial personnel.  




16





If our capital resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell equity securities or debt securities or obtain debt financing. The sale of equity securities or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Additional debt would result in increased expenses and could result in covenants that would restrict its operations. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing and there is no assurance that financing, if required, will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to it, if at all.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

We are currently not in compliance with the minimum listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and Nasdaq has notified us that it has determined to delist our common stock. Delisting could limit the liquidity and price of our common stock more than if our common stock were quoted or listed on Nasdaq Capital Market or another national exchange.


Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, a national securities exchange. On May 3, 2013, we received notification from the Nasdaq that it intends to delist our common stock, due to our failure to satisfy the initial listing requirement that we have at least 300 “round lot” holders of our common stock. We intend to submit an appeal letter to the Nasdaq hearings panel outlining our plan to remain in compliance with the listing requirements, including by increasing our number of shareholders pursuant to this offering; however, there can be no assurance that our plan to remain in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements will be achieved or that our request for continued listing will be granted. If the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our common stock, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:


·

a limited availability of market quotations for our common stock;

·

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in its common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;

·

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

·

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.


The concentration of our capital stock ownership with insiders will likely limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

As of June 14, 2013, our Sponsor and affiliated persons (including Gregory H. Sachs, our Executive Chairman) and entities together beneficially owned over 80% of our outstanding common stock and we anticipate that these stockholders will together beneficially own approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock upon the consummation of this offering. As a result, these persons and entities have the ability to exercise control over most matters that require approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Corporate action might be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that other stockholders may view as beneficial.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require substantial financial and management resources and may increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls and requires that we have such system of internal controls audited beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2012.  If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties and/or Stockholder litigation.  Any inability to provide reliable financial reports could harm our business.  RMG and Symon may not currently be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls.  Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.  Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities.

SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. is a holding company and relies on distributions, loans and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from RMG and Symon to pay dividends, pay expenses and meet our other obligations.

We have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our ownership interests in RMG and Symon. Because we conduct our operations through our operating subsidiaries, we depend on RMG and Symon for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company, and to pay any dividends with respect to our common stock. Legal and contractual restrictions in agreements governing future indebtedness of RMG and/or Symon, as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of RMG and/or Symon, may limit our ability to obtain cash from RMG and/or Symon. The earnings from, or other available assets of, RMG and/or Symon may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.



17





Our ability to request indemnification for damages arising out of claims pursuant to the RMG merger agreement is limited to 300,000 of the shares of our common stock issued in the transaction, which are being held in escrow. Consequently, we may not be able to be entirely compensated for indemnifiable damages that we may sustain.

The indemnification obligations of RMG’s prior shareholders against losses that we may sustain and that result from, arise out of or relate to any breach by RMG or the RMG shareholders of any of their representations, warranties, or the covenants or agreements contained in the RMG merger agreement is limited to 300,000 shares of our common stock held in escrow. Certain claims for indemnification may be asserted against these shares by us once our damages exceed a $100,000 deductible and will be reimbursable to the full extent of the damages in excess of such amount up to a maximum amount of the escrow shares. The escrow shares will no longer be subject to claims for indemnification after April 30, 2014. As a consequence of these limitations, we may not be able to be entirely compensated for indemnifiable damages that we may sustain.

Our ability to request indemnification for damages arising out of claims pursuant to the Symon merger agreement is limited. Consequently, we may not be able to be entirely compensated for indemnifiable damages that we may sustain.

The indemnification obligations of Symon against losses that we may sustain and that result from, arise out of or relate to any breach by Symon or its shareholders of for breaches of their representations and warranties contained in the Symon merger agreement is limited to certain specified fundamental representations. We are not entitled to indemnification for breaches of most representations and warranties regarding Symon’s business or operations. Accordingly, we may not be able to be compensated for indemnifiable damages that we may sustain.

If the benefits of the transactions with Symon and/or RMG do not meet the expectations of investors, the market price of our securities may decline.

The market price of our securities may decline as a result of the transactions with Symon and/or RMG  if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the transactions as rapidly, or to the extent anticipated by investors.  Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of a decline in the market price of our securities. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

We may issue additional shares of our common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders. This might have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

We have filed a registration statement to register the resale of an aggregate of 13,066,667 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. These warrants will be exercisable beginning when such registration statement is effective. These warrants would only be exercised if the $11.50 per share exercise price is below the market price of our common stock. To the extent they are exercised, additional shares of our common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.

Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds we receive in this offering and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of our net proceeds from this offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Our management might not apply our net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment and we might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of these net proceeds. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the development of our products and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may discourage or delay an acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable, which could decrease the value of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and Delaware corporate law contain provisions that could make it harder for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include those that: authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series without a stockholder vote; limit stockholders’ ability to call special meetings; establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings; and provide for staggered terms for our directors. In addition, in certain circumstances, Delaware law also imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock.  

We have not paid cash dividends to our shareholders and currently have no plans to pay future cash dividends.

We plan to retain earnings to finance future growth and have no current plans to pay cash dividends to shareholders. In addition, our credit facility restricts our ability to pay dividends.  Because we have not paid cash dividends, holders of our securities will experience a gain on their investment in our securities only in the case of an appreciation of value of our securities. You should neither expect to receive dividend income from investing in our securities nor an appreciation in value.

CAUTIONARY NOTES REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


We believe that some of the information contained in this prospectus constitutes forward-looking statements within the definition of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:


·

discuss future expectations;

·

contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

·

state other “forward-looking” information.


We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this prospectus provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us in our forward-looking statements, including among other things:


·

success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our management and other key personnel;

·

The de-listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market;

·

the potential liquidity and trading of our securities;

·

RMG’s history of incurring significant net losses and limited operating history;

·

the competitive environment in the advertising markets in which we operate;

·

the risk that the anticipated benefits of the combination of RMG or Symon, or of other acquisitions that we may complete, may not be fully realized;

·

the risk that any projections, including earnings, revenues, expenses, margins or any other financial items are not realized;

·

changing legislation and regulatory environments;

·

business development activities, including our ability to contract with, and retain, customers on attractive terms;

·

the general volatility of the market price of our common stock;

·

risks and costs associated with regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards (including pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); and

·

general economic conditions.


This prospectus contains statistical data that we obtained from various government and private publications.  We have not independently verified the data in these reports.  Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions.  The air travel industry and the advertising industry, particularly the air travel media advertising sector and the broader digital out-of-home advertising sector, may not grow at the projected rates or at all.  The failure of the air travel industry and the advertising industry to grow at the projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our securities.  Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the statistical data turns out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions.  You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. 

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual future results to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus could have a material adverse effect on us.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive approximately $22.5 million in net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in this offering, or approximately $26.0 million if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We expect to use some or all of the net proceeds of this offering to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of growth initiatives in sales and marketing, capital expenditures, working capital and/or strategic acquisitions. We expect to receive a waiver for these uses if not otherwise permitted by the terms of our credit facilities, as discussed below. We have no current agreements or commitments with respect to any strategic acquisition.

Pursuant to the terms of our senior credit agreement with Kayne Anderson Credit Advisors, LLC, as administrative agent, and Comvest Capital II, L.P., as documentation agent, we are required to deposit any net proceeds of this offering which are not used to repay our senior indebtedness into a restricted deposit account, subject to a tri-party account control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the administrative agent. Such proceeds would be available during the one year following the consummation of the offering for strategic acquisitions and/or capital expenditures, in each case to the extent permitted by the terms of the senior credit agreement. The senior credit agreement requires that any proceeds not used for such purposes within one year would be used to pay down the senior indebtedness. We are seeking a waiver from the senior lenders to permit us to use the proceeds of this offering other than to repay all or a portion of the senior indebtedness and/or as otherwise allowed by the terms of the senior credit agreement. If we receive such a waiver, we expect that, while we may use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to repay some of our outstanding indebtedness, we would use a significant portion of the proceeds for general corporate purposes, in the manner described in the preceding paragraph. While we expect that the senior lenders will grant such a waiver, there can be no assurance that they will do so. The senior credit facility accrues interest at the rate of 10% as of June 1, 2013, and will mature on April 19, 2018. The principal amount outstanding under the senior credit agreement was $24.0 million at June 1, 2013. Our junior credit facility accrues interest at a blended rate of 15% as of June 1, 2013, and will mature on October 19, 2018. The principal amount outstanding under our junior credit agreement was $10.0 million at June 1, 2013. This indebtedness was incurred to finance a portion of the purchase price of our acquisition of Symon in April 2013.

The amount and timing of what we actually spend for the purposes described above may vary significantly and will depend on a number of factors, including our future revenue and cash generated by operations and the other factors described in “Risk Factors.” Accordingly, our management will have discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $11.02 per share would increase (decrease) each of our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $2.3 million, assuming that the number of shares we are offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and the estimated offering expenses we will pay. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. A 100,000 increase (decrease) in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) each of our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $1.1 million, based on an assumed offering price of $11.02 per share, after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and the estimated offering expenses we will pay. The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual public offering price, number of shares offered and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

CAPITALIZATION


The following table summarizes our capitalization as of the dates indicated:


·

on an actual basis;

·

on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the acquisitions of RMG and Symon and related transactions, including the completion of our tender offer in connection with the RMG acquisition; and

·

on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the estimated net proceeds of approximately $22.5 million we will receive from the sale of 2,268,603 shares of common stock offered by this prospectus at an assumed public offering price of $11.02 per share (which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 26, 2013), after deducting the underwriting discount and the estimated offering expenses we will pay.


You should read this table in conjunction with “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The number of shares to be outstanding after this offering is based on 6,285,583 shares outstanding on June 26, 2013, and excludes (i) 13,066,667 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of all warrants outstanding as of June 26, 2013, and (ii) 2,500,000 shares of common stock that will be issuable under our 2013 equity incentive plan, if approved by stockholders at our 2013 annual meeting.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $11.02 per share would increase (decrease) each of our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $2.3 million, assuming that the number of shares we are offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and the estimated offering expenses we will pay. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. A 100,000 increase (decrease) in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) each of our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $1.1 million, based on an assumed offering price of $11.02 per share, after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and the estimated offering expenses we will pay. The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual public offering price, number of shares offered and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Price for Equity Securities

Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and our warrants and units are quoted on the OTC bulletin board, under the symbols “RMGN”, “SCGQW” and “SCGQU”, respectively. The Units commenced public trading on April 13, 2011 and unitholders may elect to separately trade the SCG Common Stock and Warrants underlying the Units. Our common stock was quoted on the OTC bulletin board until its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 2, 2012.

As of June 26, 2013, the last reported closing prices of our common stock, units and warrants were $11.02, $18.50 and $0.82, respectively.  

Holders

As of June 26, 2013, there were 19 holders of record of our common stock, four holders of record of our warrants and one holder of record of our Units.

Dividends

To date, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. The payment of any future cash dividend will be dependent upon revenue and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. As a holding company without any direct operations, our ability to pay cash dividends may be limited to availability of cash provided to us by RMG or Symon through a distribution, loan or other transaction, and will be within the discretion of our board of directors. Our outstanding indebtedness also limits our ability to pay dividends. Investors should not purchase our common stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA OF SYMON


The following table sets forth selected financial data on a historical consolidated basis for our predecessor, Symon. You should read the following selected historical financial and operating data in conjunction with Symon’s historical financial statements and the related notes and with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Symon,” which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. The historical balance sheet data as of January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 of Symon and the statements of operations data for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2013 of Symon have been derived from the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Symon included elsewhere in this prospectus. The historical balance sheet data as of April 19, 2013 (the date of the consummation of the acquisition of Symon by SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.) of Symon and the statement of operations data for each of the interim periods ended April 19, 2013 and April 30, 2012 of Symon have been derived from the historical unaudited financial statements of Symon included elsewhere in this prospectus. Since the acquisition of Symon occurred prior to the end of Symon’s fiscal quarter, the results for the interim period in 2013 do not include the last eleven days of the month of April 2013, and, as a result, the period contains fewer days’ results when compared to the three months ended April 30, 2012. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year. The selected consolidated historical financial information of Symon as of and for the years ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 was derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements of Symon not included in this prospectus.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 and the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 are based on the separate historical financial statements of SCG, Symon and RMG.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information is included for informational purposes only and does not purport to reflect the results of operations or financial position of SCG that would have occurred had it operated as a combined entity for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of SCG’s results of operations or financial position had the acquisitions of RMG and Symon occurred on the dates assumed. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information also does not project its results of operations or financial position for any future period or date.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of operations give pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012.  The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2013.

On April 8, 2013, SCG consummated its acquisition of RMG pursuant to a merger agreement (the “RMG Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the RMG Merger Agreement, RMG was merged with and into a subsidiary of SCG, with RMG continuing as the surviving corporation (the “RMG Merger”). As a result of the RMG Merger, RMG became a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of SCG. On April 19, 2013, SCG consummated its acquisition of Symon pursuant to a merger agreement (the “Symon Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Symon Merger Agreement, a subsidiary of SCG was merged with and into Symon, with Symon continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Symon Merger”). As a result of the Symon Merger, Symon became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCG. SCG management has concluded, based on its evaluation of the facts and circumstances of the Transactions, that SCG was the acquirer of both RMG and Symon for accounting purposes.  SCG retained effective control of RMG and Symon. After the Transactions, a large percentage of the combined entity’s voting rights was held by existing SCG stockholders, primarily DRW and the Sponsor and its affiliates. Additionally, SCG elects all but one of the combined entity’s five board members. Although most of the senior management of RMG and Symon Holdings continue to serve as management of the combined entity, this was not considered determinative as all other relevant factors were not aligned with the management composition.  Each of the Transactions constitutes the acquisition of a business for purposes of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 805, “Business Combinations,” or ASC 805.  As a result, the basis of the assets and liabilities of RMG and Symon Holdings will be adjusted to their fair values and the appropriate amount of goodwill will be recorded for the consideration given in excess of the fair values assigned to the net identifiable assets. All transaction costs should be expensed as incurred, except those costs associated with equity raising (which should be recorded to additional paid-in capital) and debt financing (which should be recorded as deferred financing costs).

The pro forma adjustments principally give effect to:


·

In connection with the RMG Merger, SCG paid to RMG’s stockholders an aggregate of (i) 400,001 shares of SCG common stock, 300,000 of which were deposited in an escrow account, (ii) $10,000 in cash and (iii) $10,000 deposited in an escrow account. Additionally, SCG paid, on behalf of RMG and its subsidiaries, all indebtedness of RMG and its subsidiaries under RMG’s credit agreement at a discounted amount equal to $23,500,000, paid with $21,000,000 of cash and $2,500,000 of shares of SCG common stock.

·

In connection with the Symon Merger, SCG paid to Symon’s stockholders $45,000,000 less (i) any indebtedness on Symon’s books on the closing date and (ii) the excess of Symon’s expenses incurred in association with the Symon Merger over $2,000,000.

·

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect SCG purchasing the 4,551,228 shares of common stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer consummated in connection with the RMG Merger (“the Tender Offer”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45.5 million.


The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on, and should be read in conjunction with:


·

The audited financial statements of SCG for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the unaudited financial statements of SCG as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus.

·

The audited financial statements of RMG for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the unaudited financial statements of RMG as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus.

·

The audited financial statements of Symon for the year ended January 31, 2013 and the unaudited financial statements of Symon as of and for the period from February 1, 2013 to April 19, 2013, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus.

(A)

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume that the Transactions occurred on March 31, 2013 for purposes of the balance sheet and on January 1, 2012 for purposes of the statement of operations.  The SCG and RMG financial statements are derived from the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the unaudited financials for the period January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013.

 

 

(B)

The Symon consolidated financial statements reflect audited amounts for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 and unaudited amounts for the period February 1, 2013 through April 19, 2013.  

 

 

(C)

Reflects the reclassification of $80,010,531 of cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account from SCG’s initial public offering that became available for transaction consideration, transaction expenses, redemption of shares of SCG common stock and the operating expenses of the combined company following the Transactions.

 

 

(D)

With respect to the RMG Merger, SCG has issued to the RMG shareholders 400,001 SCG shares of SCG common stock and $10,000 cash in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of RMG.  

 

 

(E)

There is a condition to closing the RMG Merger that a payment of $23,500,000 be made in complete satisfaction of RMG’s credit agreement. The $23,500,000 came from $21,000,000 cash remaining after redemption of shares of SCG common stock plus 250,000 of newly issued shares of SCG common stock.  The outstanding balance of the RMG credit agreement as of the balance sheet date was $30,228,877.  There is a $6,728,877 adjustment for the write-off of the debt that exceeds $23,500,000.

 

 

(F)

Reflects the reclassification of $67,763,029 of shares of SCG common stock subject to conversion to permanent equity.  An additional $678 adjustment is necessary to properly reflect the par amount of the SCG common stock subject to redemption.

 

 

(G)

On February 7, 2013, an amendment to the underwriting agreement by and between SCG and Lazard Capital Markets LLC was executed, whereby the deferred underwriting commission was reduced from $2,000,000 to $500,000.  The adjustment reflects the payment of $500,000 of the remaining deferred underwriter’s compensation which was charged to capital at the time of SCG’s initial public offering, but not payable until the consummation of the Transactions.  The March 31, 2013 financial statements reflect the write-off of $1,500,000 of the commission.

 

 

(H)

Reflects the reclassification of RMG’s historical accumulated deficit as SCG is considered the “acquirer” for accounting purposes.

 

 

(I)

Total transaction costs were $8,800,826, of which $4,616,911 was paid prior to March 31, 2013 (April 19, 2013 with respect to Symon). This adjustment reflects the payment of $4,183,915 of costs related to the Transactions not paid as of March 31, 2013, $2,016,045 of which was accrued at March 31, 2013 (April 19, 2013 with respect to Symon). As this is a material nonrecurring charge which results directly from the Transactions, it is not included in the pro forma statement of operations.

 

 

(J)

Pursuant to an equity commitment letter and an assignment agreement, DRW purchased 2,354,450 shares of SCG common stock in privately negotiated transactions at a price per share that did not exceed $10.02 per share.  Pursuant to the equity commitment letter, the assignment agreement and related agreements, DRW agreed not to tender the DRW Shares in the tender offer and further waived its redemption rights in the event of SCG’s liquidation with respect to these shares.  This adjustment reflects the actual redemption of 4,551,228 shares for an aggregate amount equal to $45,512,280.  Based on the historical accounting for the shares and considering adjustment (F), the entire redemption price is allocated to SCG common stock and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

 

 

(K)

Reflects adjustment to convert $800,000 in outstanding Sponsor and affiliate loans that existed as of March 31, 2013 to warrants.  Adjustment also reflects payment of the remaining $495,000 in Sponsor and affiliate loans.

 

 

(L)

Reflects adjustment for the $10,000 deposited in the escrow account to be used to reimburse the RMG stockholder representative for any losses the stockholder representative should incur pursuant to the terms of the RMG Merger Agreement.

 

 

(M)

The RMG Merger constitutes the acquisition of a business for purposes of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 805, “Business Combinations,” or ASC 805.  As a result, the basis of RMG’s assets and liabilities will be adjusted and the appropriate amount of intangible assets and goodwill will be recorded. The total purchase price for RMG is $27,512,010, which is comprised of 400,001 shares of SCG common stock valued at $9.98 per share on March 31, 2013 plus $23,500,000 for repayment in full under the RMG credit agreement ($21,000,000 paid in cash and $2,500,000 in shares of SCG common stock) plus $10,000 cash plus $10,000 deposited in the Escrow Account. RMG management has estimated the preliminary values of the assets and liabilities and determined the purchase price allocation to be as follows:

(U)

Reflects the removal of the Symon’s net intangible assets and goodwill existing on its April 19, 2013 balance sheet and the related amortization expense for the year ended January 31, 2013 and the period from February 1, 2013 through April 19, 2013.

 

 

(V)

The Symon Merger constitutes the acquisition of a business for purposes of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 805, “Business Combinations,” or ASC 805.  As a result, the basis of Symon’s assets and liabilities will be adjusted and the estimated fair value of intangible assets and the remainder to goodwill will be recorded.  The Deferred Revenue liability has been valued based on estimates of the cost of fulfilling the obligation plus a reasonable profit margin. This valuation resulted in a write-down of the current and non-current Deferred Revenue liability.  


Total goodwill attributable to the Symon Merger is $21,241,994 of which $14,722,703 is reported on the pro forma balance sheet as an adjustment to goodwill (noted as (V)).  The remaining $6,519,291 increase to goodwill results from the increase to the deferred tax liability referred to in (EE) below.  


The total purchase price for Symon is $43,476,749 ($45,000,000 less the $1,523,251 of transaction expenses that exceeded $2,000,000), which is comprised of $43,226,749 of cash to Symon’s shareholders and $250,000 to an expense fund and is reported as a $43,476,749 adjustment (V) to additional paid-in capital on the pro forma balance sheet. The sum of the $40,005,815 positive additional paid-in capital adjustment (V) and the $13,503,468 negative additional paid-in capital adjustment (U) on the pro forma balance sheet equals $26,502,347, which is the total increase to the net value of Symon’s asset and liabilities and is broken out as follows:

On April 19, 2013, SCG entered into a five-year $24 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”), which was funded in full on April 19, 2013. The Senior Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 7.25% or the LIBOR Rate plus 8.5%, at the election of the borrowers.  The LIBOR Rate is subject to a floor of 1.5%.  The pro forma adjustment assumes a 10% rate of interest on the Senior Credit Facility.  On April 19, 2013, SCG entered into a five-year unsecured $2.5 million junior term loan (“Term Loan A”) and a five-year unsecured $7.5 million junior term loan (“Term Loan B”) (collectively, the “Junior Loans”).  The Term Loan A will bear interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum and the Term Loan B will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the greater of 16% per annum and the current rate of interest under the Senior Credit Facility plus 4%.  The pro forma adjustment assumes a 12% and 16% interest rate for the Term Loan A and Term Loan B, respectively.  In consideration for providing the credit, SCG issued the lenders 63,000 shares of SCG common stock.

Revenue is recognized as outlined in “Critical Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition” below.


Symon sells its products and services through its global sales force and through a select group of resellers and business partners. In North America, approximately 90% or more of sales are generated solely by Symon’s sales team, with 10% or less through resellers in 2013. In the United Kingdom, Western Europe, the Middle East and India, the situation is reversed, with around 85% of sales coming from the reseller channel. Overall, approximately 67% of Symon’s global revenues are derived from direct sales, with the remaining 33% generated through indirect partner channels.


Symon has formal contracts with its resellers that set the terms and conditions under which the parties conduct business. The resellers purchase products and services from Symon, generally with agreed-upon discounts, and resell the products and services to their customers, who are the end-users of the products and services. Symon does not offer contractual rights of return other than under standard product warranties and product returns from resellers have been insignificant to date. Symon therefore sells directly to its resellers and recognizes revenue on sales to resellers upon delivery, consistent with its recognition policies. Symon bills the resellers directly for the products and services they purchase. Software licenses and product warranties pass directly from Symon to the end-users.


Cost of Revenue


The cost of revenue associated with product sales consist primarily of the costs of media players, the costs of third-party flat screen displays, and the operating costs of Symon’s assembly and distribution center. The cost of revenue of professional services is the salary and related benefit costs of Symon’s employees and travel costs of Symon’s personnel providing installation and training services.  The cost of revenue of maintenance and content services consists of the salary and related benefit costs of personnel engaged in providing maintenance and content services and the annual costs associated with acquiring data from third-party content providers.


Operating Expenses


Symon’s operating expenses are comprised of the following components:


·

Research and development (“R&D”) costs consist of salaries and related benefit costs of R&D personnel and expenditures to outside third-party contractors. To date, all R&D expenses are expensed as incurred.

·

Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and related benefit costs of sales personnel, sales commissions, travel by sales and sales support personnel, and marketing and advertising costs.

·

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefit costs of executives, accounting, finance, administrative, and IT personnel. Also included in this category are other corporate expenses such as rent, utilities, insurance, professional service fees, office expenses, travel by general and administrative personnel, and meeting expenses.

·

Depreciation and amortization costs include depreciation of Symon’s office furniture, fixtures, and equipment and amortization of intangible assets.


Sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses comprise the majority of Symon’s Operating Expenses.  For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, sales and marketing expenses comprised 41.5% and 42.5%, respectively, and general and administrative expenses comprised 41.2% and 38.3%, respectively, of total operating expenses. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, research and development expenses were 11.3% and 11.4%, respectively, of total operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses were 6.0% and 7.8%, respectively, of total operating expenses.


For the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012, sales and marketing expenses comprised 23.8% and 39.6%, respectively, and general and administrative expenses comprised 23.9% and 41.4%, respectively, of total operating expenses. During the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012, research and development expenses were 7.1% and 11.9%, respectively, of total operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses were 1.9% and 7.1%, respectively, of total operating expenses.


During the period ended April 19, 2013, Symon incurred costs of $3,143,251 associated with its acquisition by SCG. These acquisition costs represented 43.3% of total operating expenses for the period ended April 19, 2013.

Results of Operations


Comparison of the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012


The following table summarizes Symon’s operating results for the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012. Since the acquisition of Symon occurred prior to the end of Symon’s fiscal quarter, the results for the interim period in 2013 do not include the last eleven days of the month of April 2013, and, as a result, the period contains fewer days’ results when compared to the three months ended April 30, 2012.

Revenue


Revenue was $7,157,315 and $9,424,646 for the period February 1 through April 19, 2013 (hereafter referred to as the period ended April 19, 2013) and the three months ended April 30, 2012, respectively. This comparison reflects that revenues were $2,267,331 or 24.1% less in the period ended April 19, 2013. A large part of this difference in revenues was due to the fact that Symon was purchased by SCG on April 19, 2013 and, as a result, the period ended April 19, 2013 does not include the last eleven days of the month of April 2013. As a result, the period ended April 19, 2013 contains fewer days’ results when compared to the three months ended April 30, 2012. The exclusion of sales for the last eleven days of the month of April 2013 had a negative effect because Symon traditionally receives the majority of customer orders towards the end of each month. The effect of this shorter accounting period is demonstrated when comparing revenues for the full three months ended April 30, 2013 with revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2012. This comparison reflects the fact that sales for the three months ended April 30, 2013 totaled $9,282,449 which was only $142,197, or 1.5%, less than for the three months ended April 30, 2012.


Symon experienced a $652,355 or 56.0% decrease in sales of its proprietary software in the period ended April 19, 2013. In addition, sales of software-embedded media players were $286,148 or 21.6% lower and sales of third-party products were $300,996 or 92.5% less in the period ended April 19, 2013.


Symon also recognized $581,767 or 13.9% less maintenance and content services revenues in the period ended April 19, 2013.  Symon continued to sell maintenance and content services with the majority of its new orders and renewed a large percentage of its customers’ maintenance and content services contracts.


During the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012, Symon’s revenues were derived as follows.

North America and EMEA sales were $1,763,451 and $503,880 less, respectively, in the period ended April 19, 2013 than in the three months ended April 30, 2012. Sales in both geographies were lower for the period ended April 19, 2013 because of the shorter accounting period. In addition, sales results in North America are behind last year’s performance.


Cost of Revenue


Cost of revenue totaled $2,971,467 and $3,887,982 for the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012, respectively. This decrease in the total cost of revenue was primarily attributable to the decrease in product sales for the period ended April 19, 2013. Symon’s overall gross margin on sales in the period ended April 19, 2013 decreased to 58.5% from 58.7%. This slightly lower gross margin on sales was primarily attributable to the fact that sales of proprietary software, on which Symon realizes its highest gross margin, comprised a lower percentage of Symon’s sales in the period ended April 19, 2013 than in the three months ended April 30, 2012.

Operating Expenses


Operating expenses totaled $7,265,748 and $4,525,382 for the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012, respectively. This represents a $2,740,366 or 60.6% increase in operating expenses for the period ended April 19, 2013. The major fluctuations in operating expenses were as follows:


·

Symon incurred $3,143,251 of costs associated with its acquisition by SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.;

·

The period ended April 19, 2013 did not include the last eleven days of the month of April 2013, consequently less operating expenses were incurred in certain areas because of the shorter accounting period;

·

Although the period ended April 19, 2013 had fewer accounting days than the three months ended April 30, 2012, Symon added additional personnel over the last nine months and it is expected that both selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses will be higher in 2013 than in 2012; and

·

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased because certain intangible assets became fully amortized in 2012.

Revenue


Revenue was $42,528,391 and $40,826,490 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This represents a $1,701,901 or 4.2% increase in revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. This increase in sales was primarily due to increased sales by Symon’s office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.


Symon experienced an $821,826 or 6.4% decrease in sales of its proprietary software, software-embedded media players and LED displays. Symon’s sales pipeline remained strong throughout the year; however, several large sales orders that were expected to be received by year-end were not received. Symon had an increase of $2,956,900 or 69.7% in sales of third-party products. This was primarily due to a major order from a customer in Saudi Arabia that was generated by the Dubai office. Symon also had a $710,764 or 10.2% decrease in professional services during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. This decrease was caused by customer delays in installation projects and the fact that Symon had less revenues associated with services provided by third-party contractors. Revenue from maintenance and content services increased $277,591 or 1.7% during the fiscal ended January 31, 2013. Symon continued to sell maintenance and content services with the majority of its new orders and renewed a large percentage of its customers’ maintenance and content services contracts.


During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, Symon’s revenues were derived as follows.

North America and EMEA sales were $139,447 and $1,562,454 higher, respectively, in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 than in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. The primary reason for the increase in EMEA sales was the large increase in sales volume generated by the Dubai office.


Cost of Revenue


Cost of revenue totaled $18,441,521 and $17,195,168 for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase in the total cost of revenue is primarily attributable to the increase in product sales volume for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. Symon’s overall gross margin on sales in the fiscal year ended January 21, 2013 decreased to 56.6% from 57.9%. This lower gross margin on sales was primarily attributable to the fact that sales of third-party products, on which Symon realizes a lower gross margin, comprised a higher percentage of Symon’s sales than in the previous year.

Interest and other – Net


Interest expense decreased significantly because Symon had repaid the vast majority of its bank debt by October 31, 2011.

Revenue


Revenue was $40,826,490 and $39,710,521 for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This represents a $1,115,969 or 2.8% increase in revenue. A large portion of this increase was attributable to the sales generated by Symon’s office in Dubai, which opened in August 2009. This office sells products and services to customers in the Middle East.


Overall, Symon realized a $287,227 or 1.7% increase in product sales. This net sales increase in product sales was primarily attributable to a $646,885 or 18.0% increase in sales of third-party products by Symon’s office in Dubai. This increase was offset by a $359,658 or 2.7% decrease in sales of Symon’s proprietary software, software-embedded media players, and LED displays. In addition, Symon realized a $409,242 or 6.2% increase in professional services, and a $420,779 or 2.6% increase in maintenance and content services revenues.


During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, Symon’s revenue was derived as follows.

Operating Expenses


Operating expenses totaled $17,578,887 and $20,710,264 for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This represents a $3,131,377 decrease in operating expenses during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. The major fluctuations in operating expenses were as follows.


·

Research and development expenses were $495,263 or 19.9% less due to fewer R&D personnel and reduced use of outside contractors.

·

Sales and marketing expenses were $738,560 or 9.0% lower primarily due to a reduction in sales salaries and commissions of $563,276 or 8.4% and a reduction in advertising and marketing expenses of $201,128 or 29.5%.

·

General and administrative expenses were $988,205 or 12.8% lower due to a reduction in personnel.

·

Depreciation and amortization was $909,349 or 39.9% less primarily due to the fact that certain intangible assets became fully amortized.


Interest and other – Net


Interest expense decreased significantly in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 because Symon had repaid the vast majority of its bank debt by October 31, 2011.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Historically, Symon’s primary source of liquidity has been cash generated from the sales of products and services to its global customers. Symon’s primary uses of cash has been payments of operating expenses, purchases of inventory, and capital expenditures.


We believe that the proceeds from this offering, together with cash generated from sales, will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures of the combined business for at least the next twelve months.



41





At April 19, 2013, Symon’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $5,666,273. This represents a decrease of $4,536,896 from Symon’s cash and cash equivalents balance of $10,203,169 at January 31, 2013. This decrease was due primarily to the payments of costs incurred in connection with Symon’s acquisition by SCG.


Symon’s cash balance at April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013 included cash and cash equivalents of $3,837,733 and $4,593,406, respectively, in bank accounts of its subsidiary located outside the United States. Symon currently plans to use this cash to fund its on-going foreign operations. If Symon were to repatriate the cash held by its subsidiary located outside the United States, Symon may incur tax liabilities.


At April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013, Symon had no outstanding bank debt. Symon’s bank line of credit of $2,000,000 expired on April 4, 2013; on April 19, 2013, SCG entered into the credit arrangements described under “Recent Developments” below.


Symon has generated and used cash as follows:

Operating Activities


The decrease in cash from operating activities for the period ended April 19, 2013 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2012 was primarily due to the significant expenses incurred in connection with Symon’s acquisition by SCG and changes in the following operating assets and liabilities:


·

Accounts payable were reduced by $2,978,808 in the period ended April 19, 2013. The largest single payment was to a vendor that had supplied hardware products that were sold to a customer in the Middle East. Symon had received preferential payment terms from this vendor;

·

Deferred revenue decreased by $372,579 for the period ended April 19, 2013 as compared to an increase of $416,410 for the three months ended April 30, 2012. A portion of this was due to the shorter accounting period in 2013;

·

Accounts receivable decreased by $2,846,332 for the period ended April 19, 2013 due to more successful collection efforts; and

·

Inventory decreased by $488,722 for the period ended April 19, 2013 because Symon maintained inventory at a more optimum level. Inventory increased by $627,043 for the three months ended April 30, 2012 because Symon decided to increase inventory levels in order to assure adequate products were on hand for anticipated future sales.


The increase in cash from operating activities for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 as compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 was primarily due to changes in the following operating assets and liabilities:


·

Accounts payable increased by $1,684,425 primarily because Symon negotiated extended payment terms with a large manufacturer of hardware products;

·

Deferred revenue increased by $686,801 due to an increase in deferred revenue related to maintenance and content services contracts;

·

Accounts receivable increased by $442,329 due to the high level of sales in the fourth quarter; and

·

Inventory decreased by $607,540 because Symon closely controlled inventory levels.


The increase in cash from operating activities for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 as compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 was primarily due to higher sales and profitability.


Investing Activities


Symon used slightly less cash in investing activities in the period ended April 19, 2013 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2013 because it acquired fewer capital assets during the period.




42





The decrease in cash used in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 as compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 was due to final payment made in connection with a previously completed business combination.


The increase in cash used in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 as compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 was due primarily to higher capital expenditures in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. Symon also made payments to a former stockholder in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 in connection with a previous business combination.


Financing Activities


Cash used in financing activities were payments of Symon’s outstanding bank debt, which was incurred at the time of Symon’s being acquired by affiliates of Golden Gate Capital. The bank debt was paid off in advance of its maturity date.


Recent Developments


In connection with our acquisition of Symon on April 19, 2013, we entered into a Senior Credit Agreement and a Junior Credit Agreement.


Senior Credit Agreement


On April 19, 2013, we entered into a Credit Agreement by and among us and certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries party thereto from time to time (including Symon and RMG) as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries party thereto from time to time as guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Borrowers, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Senior Lenders”), Kayne Anderson Credit Advisors, LLC, as administrative agent (the “Senior Administrative Agent”), and Comvest Capital II, L.P., as Documentation Agent (the “Senior Credit Agreement”). The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $24 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”), which was funded in full on April 19, 2013. The Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Guarantors, and is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future assets of the Loan Parties (the “Collateral”).


The Senior Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 7.25% or the LIBOR Rate plus 8.5%, at the election of the Borrowers. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Senior Credit Agreement, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement will automatically be increased by 2% per annum. The “Base Rate” and the “LIBOR Rate” are defined in a manner customary for credit facilities of this type. The LIBOR Rate is subject to a floor of 1.5%.


We are required to make quarterly principal amortization payments in the amount of $600,000 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Senior Credit Agreement), with the first such amortization payment due on July 1, 2013. Subject to certain conditions contained in the Senior Credit Agreement, we may prepay the principal of the Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part. In addition, we are required to prepay the principal of the Senior Credit Facility (subject to certain basket amounts and exceptions) in amounts equal to (i) 50% of the “Excess Cash Flow” of us and our subsidiaries for each fiscal year (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement); (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from asset sales, debt issuances or equity issuances by us or any of the other Loan Parties; and (iii) 100% of any cash received by us or any of the other Loan Parties not in the ordinary course of business (excluding cash from asset sales and debt and equity issuances), net of reasonable collection costs.


In the case of a debt or equity issuance (including this offering), we are permitted to deposit the proceeds of the issuance into a restricted deposit account, subject to a tri-party account control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the administrative agent. Such proceeds will be available during the one year following the sale of such securities for strategic acquisitions and/or capital expenditures, in each case to the extent permitted by the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement. The Senior Credit Agreement requires that any proceeds not used for such purposes within one year would be used to pay down the Senior Credit Facility.


We will not be required to make any mandatory prepayment to the extent that, after giving effect to such mandatory prepayment, the unrestricted cash on hand of the Loan Parties would be less than $5 million. The amount of any mandatory prepayment not prepaid as a result of the foregoing sentence will be deferred and shall be due and owing on the last day of each month thereafter, but in each case solely to the extent that unrestricted cash on hand of the Loan Parties would exceed or equal $5 million after giving effect thereto.


In the event of any mandatory or optional prepayment under the Senior Credit Agreement or the termination of the Senior Credit Agreement prior to April 19, 2018, we will be required to pay the Lenders a prepayment fee equal to the following percentage of the amount repaid or prepaid: 3% if such prepayment or termination occurs prior to April 19, 2014; 2% if such prepayment or termination occurs prior to April 19, 2015; and 1% if such prepayment or termination occurs prior to April 19, 2016. Amounts repaid or prepaid under the Senior Credit Agreement will not be available for borrowing.




43





The Senior Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, restrictive covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of we to incur indebtedness and liens; merge with, make an investment in or acquire any property or assets of another entity; pay cash dividends; repurchase shares of its outstanding stock; make loans and other investments; dispose of assets (including the equity securities of its subsidiaries); prepay the principal on any subordinate indebtedness; enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; or change its principal business (in each case, subject to certain basket amounts and exceptions). The Senior Credit Agreement also includes customary financial covenants, including minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) requirements, and maximum leverage ratios, tested quarterly, as well as customary events of default.


Junior Credit Agreement


On April 19, 2013, we entered into a Junior Credit Agreement by and among the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Junior Credit Agreement Lenders”), and Plexus Fund II, L.P., as administrative agent for the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders (the “Junior Credit Agreement Administrative Agent”) (the “Junior Credit Agreement”). The Junior Credit Agreement provides for a five-year unsecured $2.5 million junior Term Loan A (issued with an original issue discount of $315,000) and a five-year unsecured $7.5 million junior Term Loan B (the “Junior Loans”). Each of the Junior Loans was funded in full on April 19, 2013. The Junior Loans are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Guarantors.


The Term Loan A will bear interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum and the Term Loan B will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the greater of 16% per annum and the current rate of interest under the Senior Credit Agreement relating to the Senior Credit Facility plus 4%. Interest owing under the Term B Loan shall be paid quarterly in arrears of which 12% will be paid in cash and the remaining amount owed will be paid in kind If an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Junior Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Junior Credit Agreement will automatically be subject to an additional 2% per annum interest charge.


Borrowings under the Junior Credit Agreement are generally due and payable on the maturity date, April 19, 2018. Following the repayment in full of the Senior Credit Facility, we may voluntarily prepay the principal of the Junior Loans in whole or in part. In addition, we will be required to prepay the Junior Loans in full upon the occurrence of a “change of control” under the Junior Credit Agreement (generally defined as (i) the acquisition by any person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as in effect on April 19, 2013), other than Donald R. Wilson, Gregory Sachs and their respective controlled affiliates, of more than 45% of the outstanding shares of our common stock; (ii) subject to certain exceptions, the failure by us to directly or indirectly own 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each other Loan Party and its subsidiaries, free and clear of all liens other than the liens created under the Senior Credit Agreement); (iii) the cessation of Gregory Sachs’s service as our Executive Chairman (unless a successor reasonably acceptable to the Junior Credit Agreement Administrative Agent and the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders is appointed on terms reasonably acceptable to such parties within 90 days of such cessation); (iv) the listing of any person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls a Loan Party on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), Department of the Treasury, and/or any other similar lists maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation or (B) a person designated under Executive Order No. 13224 (September 23, 2001), any related enabling legislation or any other similar Executive Orders or law; or (v) the occurrence of a “Change of Control” as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement).


In the event of any mandatory or optional prepayment under the Junior Credit Agreement or the termination of the Junior Credit Agreement prior to April 19, 2018, we will be required to pay the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders a prepayment fee equal to the following percentage of the amount repaid or prepaid: 5% if such prepayment or termination occurs prior to the thirteenth month following April 19, 2013; 4% if such prepayment or termination occurs from the thirteenth month following April 19, 2013 but prior to the twenty-fifth month thereafter; 3% if such prepayment or termination occurs from the twenty-fifth month following April 19, 2013 but prior to the thirty-first month thereafter; 2% if such prepayment or termination occurs from the thirty-first month following April 19, 2013 but prior to the thirty seventh-month thereafter; and 1% if such prepayment or termination occurs from the thirty-seventh month following April 19, 2013 but prior to the forty-third month thereafter. Amounts repaid or prepaid under the Junior Credit Agreement will not be available for borrowing.


The Junior Credit Agreement contains substantially the same representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and financial covenants as the Senior Credit Agreement, except that the permitted baskets in the Junior Credit Agreement are generally higher than under the Senior Credit Agreement, and the financial covenant requirements and ratios are 15% looser than under the Senior Credit Agreement. In addition, the Junior Credit Agreement includes additional covenants intended to ensure that any Junior Credit Agreement Lender that is a small business investment company complies with the applicable rules and regulations of the Small Business Administration, including a covenant granting the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders Board of Director observation rights.



44






The Junior Credit Agreement also contains substantially the same events of default as under the Senior Credit Agreement, except that the thresholds included in the Junior Credit Agreement are generally higher than under the Senior Credit Agreement. The Junior Credit Agreement includes cross-default provisions tied to either (1) the acceleration of the indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement or (2) the occurrence of an event of default under any other indebtedness of SCG or any of the other Loan Parties having a principal balance in excess of $575,000.


The loans under the Junior Credit Agreement are subordinated to the Senior Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of a Subordination Agreement dated as of April 19, 2013 among the Senior Administrative Agent, the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders and the Loan Parties.


In consideration for the Term Loan A under the Junior Credit Agreement, we issued to the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders an aggregate of 31,500 shares of our common stock on April 19, 2013. In addition, on April 19, 2013, we also issued an aggregate of 31,500 shares of our common stock to certain affiliates of Kayne Anderson Mezzanine Partners in consideration for the assistance of Kayne Anderson Mezzanine Partners in arranging and structuring the financing provided under the Junior Credit Agreement.


Financial Guidance


Any estimates, forecasts or projections set forth below or elsewhere in this prospectus have been prepared by our management in good faith on a basis believed to be reasonable. Such estimates, forecasts and projections involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis as well as risks (many of which are beyond our control). As such, no representation can be made as to the attainability of our forecasts and projections. Investors are cautioned that such estimates, forecasts or projections have not been audited and have not been prepared in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a listing of risks and other factors that could impact our ability to attain our projected results, please see “Cautionary Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”


We intend to use the proceeds of this offering to grow our business as described in this prospectus. With the use of the net proceeds of this offering, we expect our consolidated revenue to be between $76 and $78 million and our adjusted EBITDA to be between $5 and $6 million for the year ending December 31, 2013, and we expect our consolidated revenue to be between $105 and $110 million and our adjusted EBITDA to be between $16 and $18 million for the year ending December 31, 2014. Our guidance for 2013 reflects our expectations regarding the financial performance of Symon and RMG on a combined pro-forma basis, as if we owned both companies for the full year 2013. We expect combined pro-forma adjusted EBITDA to be lower in fiscal year 2013 as a percentage of revenue than it will be in future years as a result of integrating the acquisitions of Symon and RMG and expenses that we have incurred or expect to incur during 2013 for sales and marketing initiatives that we believe will enhance our growth in fiscal year 2014 and beyond. We expect that the waiver we are seeking from our lenders, as discussed under “Use of Proceeds” above, will include, if necessary, revisions to the financial and other covenants contained in our loan documents that will allow us to undertake the growth initiatives we intend to pursue with the proceeds of this offering.


We have presented our projected adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, because many of our investors use this non-GAAP measure to monitor our performance. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures as an indicator of our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for acquisition-related and integration items; asset impairment charges; purchase price accounting items recorded as part of our acquisitions; and certain other items that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance.


With respect to our expected adjusted EBITDA, reconciliations of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA  are not provided because we cannot provide the reconciliation without unreasonable effort. Because our fiscal year-end closeout of our financial statements for 2013 and 2014 has not yet occurred, we have not yet finalized our determination of the components of GAAP net income and the other measures used in the reconciliation.


Critical Accounting Policies


The significant accounting policies of Symon are described in Note 1 of Symon’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Symon’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates by management that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.




45





Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are comprised of sales made primarily to entities located in the United States, EMEA and Asia. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance requires judgment and is reviewed monthly and Symon establishes reserves for doubtful accounts on a case-by-case basis based on historical collection experience and a current review of the collectability of accounts. Symon’s collection experience has been consistent with our estimates.


Inventory


Inventory consists primarily of software-embedded smart products, electronic components, computers and computer accessories. Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Slow moving and obsolete inventories are written off based on historical experience and estimated future usage.


Goodwill and Intangible Assets


Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a purchase business combination and is tested annually for impairment or tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the asset’s fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, Symon determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying value. Second, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations . The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. The fair values calculated in Symon’s impairment tests are determined using discounted cash flow models involving several assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, anticipated operating income growth rates, Symon’s long-term anticipated operating income growth rate and the discount rate. Symon’s cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates Symon is using to manage the underlying businesses. The assumptions that are used are based upon what Symon believes a hypothetical marketplace participant would use in estimating fair value. Symon evaluates the reasonableness of the fair value calculations of its reporting units by comparing the total of the fair value of all of Symon’s reporting units to Symon’s total market capitalization. Symon bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain.


Intangible assets include software, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and covenants not-to-compete acquired in purchase business combinations. Certain trademarks and trade names have been determined to have an indefinite life and are not amortized. Software, customer relationships, and definite lived trademarks and trade names are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the customer attrition for customer relationships, over their estimated useful lives. Covenants not-to-compete are amortized over the non-compete period.  


The definite lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment evaluation involves testing the recoverability of the asset on an undiscounted cash-flow basis, and, if the asset is not recoverable, recognizing an impairment charge, if necessary, to reduce the asset’s carrying amount to its fair value.  Intangible assets that have indefinite lives are evaluated for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount.  


Symon’s acquired Intangible Assets with definite lives are being amortized as follows:


Acquired Intangible Asset:

 

Amortization Period:

Software

 

5 years

Customer relationships

 

7 to 10 years

Tradenames

 

5 to 10 years

Covenant Not-To-Compete

 

5 years


Impairment of Long-lived Assets


In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment , long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is



46





measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.


Income Taxes


Symon accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which 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 basis. Symon measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Symon recognizes in income the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period that includes the enactment date.


As a result of Symon’s operations outside of the United States, Symon’s global tax rate is derived from a combination of applicable tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which Symon operates. Symon bases its estimate of an annual effective tax rate at any given point in time on a calculated mix of the tax rates applicable to Symon and to estimates of the amount of income to be derived in any given jurisdiction.


Under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), Symon recognizes the effect of uncertain tax positions, if any, only if those positions are more likely than not of being realized. It also requires Symon to accrue interest and penalties where there is an underpayment of taxes, based on management’s best estimate of the amount ultimately to be paid, in the same period that the interest would begin accruing or the penalties would first be assessed. Symon maintains accruals for uncertain tax positions until examination of the tax year is completed by the applicable taxing authority, available review periods expire or additional facts and circumstances cause us to change Symon’s assessment of the appropriate accrual amount. U.S. income taxes have not been provided on $3.8 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of January 31, 2013. Symon reinvests earnings of foreign subsidiaries in foreign operations and expects that future earnings will also be reinvested in foreign operations indefinitely. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. Symon files its tax returns based on its understanding of the appropriate tax rules and regulations. However, complexities in the tax rules and Symon’s operations, as well as positions taken publicly by the taxing authorities, may lead Symon to conclude that accruals for uncertain tax positions are required. Changes in facts and circumstances could have a material impact on Symon’s effective tax rate and results of operations.


Revenue Recognition


Symon recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:


·

Products;

·

Professional services; and

·

Maintenance and content services.


Symon recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is probable. Symon assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, Symon defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from revenue and cost of revenue.


Multiple-element arrangements


Product consists of Symon’s proprietary software and hardware equipment. Symon considers the sale of its software more than incidental to the hardware as it is essential to the functionality of the product and is classified as part of Symon’s products. Symon enters into multiple-product and services contracts, which may include any combination of equipment and software products, professional services, maintenance and content services.


Prior to February 1, 2011, Symon recognized revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition. Revenue was allocated among the multiple-elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of the undelivered elements and the application of the residual method for arrangements in which Symon has established VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements.




47





VSOE of fair value is considered the price a customer would be required to pay if the element was sold separately based on Symon’s historical experience of stand-alone sales of these elements to third parties. For maintenance and content services, Symon used renewal rates for continued support arrangements to determine fair value. In situations where Symon had fair value of all undelivered elements but not of a delivered element, Symon applied the “residual method.” Under the residual method, if the fair value of the undelivered elements is determinable, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered element(s) and is recognized as revenue assuming the other revenue recognition criteria are met.


On February 1, 2011, Symon adopted an accounting update regarding revenue recognition for multiple  arrangements, referred to as multiple element arrangements (“MEAs”) and an accounting update for certain revenue arrangements that include tangible products containing essential software on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after February 1, 2011.


MEAs are arrangements with customers which include multiple deliverables, including a combination of equipment and services. The deliverables included in the MEAs are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered equipment has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered service element(s) is probable and substantially in Symon’s control. Revenue from arrangements for the sale of tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality requires allocation of the arrangement consideration to the separate deliverables using the relative selling price (“RSP”) method for each unit of accounting based first on VSOE if it exists, second on third-party evidence (“TPE”) if it exists, and on estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither VSOE or TPE of selling price of Symon’s various applicable tangible products containing essential software products and services. Symon establishes the pricing for Symon’s units of accounting as follows:


·

VSOE— For certain elements of an arrangement, VSOE is based upon the pricing in comparable transactions when the element is sold separately. Symon determines VSOE based on Symon’s pricing and discounting practices for the specific product or service when sold separately, considering geographical, customer, and other economic or marketing variables, as well as renewal rates or standalone prices for the service element(s).

·

TPE— If Symon cannot establish VSOE of selling price for a specific product or service included in a multiple-element arrangement, Symon uses third-party evidence of selling price. Symon determines TPE based on sales of comparable amounts of similar products or services offered by multiple third parties considering the degree of customization and similarity of the product or service sold.

·

ESP— The estimated selling price represents the price at which Symon would sell a product or service if it were sold on a stand-alone basis. When VSOE or TPE does not exist for an element, Symon determines ESP for the arrangement element based on sales, cost and margin analysis, as well as other inputs based on its pricing practices. Adjustments for other market and Company-specific factors are made as deemed necessary in determining ESP.


Symon prospectively adopted the new rules and the adoption of the amended revenue recognition rules, consisting primarily of the change from the residual method to the RSP method to allocate the arrangement fee, did not significantly change the timing of revenue recognition nor did it have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012.


Upon the adoption of the new revenue recognition rules Symon re-evaluated its allocation of revenue and determined that it still had similar units of accounting and nearly all of its products and services qualify as separate units of accounting. Symon has established VSOE for its professional services and maintenance and content services of accounting based on the same criteria as previously used under the software revenue recognition rules.


Previously, Symon rarely sold its product without maintenance and therefore the residual value of the sales arrangement was allocated to the products. Symon now uses the estimated selling price to determine the relative sales price of its products. Revenue for elements that cannot be separated is recognized once the revenue recognition criteria for the entire arrangement has been met or over the period that Symon’s last remaining obligation to perform is fulfilled. Consideration for elements that are deemed separable is allocated to the separate elements at the inception of the arrangement on the basis of their relative selling price and recognized based on meeting authoritative criteria.


Judgment is required in the determination of company-specific objective evidence of fair value, which may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized depending on whether company-specific objective evidence of fair value can be demonstrated for the undelivered elements of an arrangement and the approaches used to demonstrate company-specific objective evidence of fair value.




48





Symon’s process for determining ESPs involves management’s judgment and considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change, Symon’s ESPs and the future rate of related maintenance could change.


Symon sells its products and services through its global sales force and through a select group of resellers and business partners. In North America, approximately 90% or more of sales are generated solely by Symon’s sales team, with 10% or less through resellers in 2013. In the United Kingdom, Western Europe, the Middle East and India, the situation is reversed, with around 85% of sales coming from the reseller channel. Overall, approximately 67% of Symon’s global revenues are derived from direct sales, with the remaining 33% generated through indirect partner channels.


Symon has formal contracts with its resellers that set the terms and conditions under which the parties conduct business. The resellers purchase products and services from Symon, generally with agreed-upon discounts, and resell the products and services to their customers, who are the end-users of the products and services. Symon does not offer contractual rights of return other than under standard product warranties and product returns from resellers have been insignificant to date. Symon therefore sells directly to its resellers and recognizes revenue on sales to resellers upon delivery, consistent with its recognition policies as discussed above. Symon bills the resellers directly for the products and services they purchase. Software licenses and product warranties pass directly from Symon to the end-users.


Symon recognizes revenue on sales to resellers consistent with its recognition policies as discussed below.


Product revenue


Symon recognizes revenue on product sales generally upon delivery of the product or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales.


Professional services revenue


Professional services consist primarily of installation and training services. Installation fees are recognized either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and materials contracts, Symon recognizes revenue as services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, Symon recognizes revenue upon completion of the installation which is typically completed within five business days. Such services are readily available from other vendors and are not considered essential to the functionality of the product. Training services are also not considered essential to the functionality of the product and have historically been insignificant; the fee allocable to training is recognized as revenue as Symon performs the services.


Maintenance and content services revenue


Maintenance support consists of hardware maintenance and repair and software support and updates. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support personnel for software and hardware issues. Content services consist of providing customers live and customized news feeds.


Maintenance and content services revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contracts, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer annually. Rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon specified rates as set forth in the arrangement. Symon’s hosting support agreement fees are based on the level of service provided to its customers, which can range from monitoring the health of a customer’s network to supporting a sophisticated web-portal.


Research and Development Costs


Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility of the related software product are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, any additional software development costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed . Symon believes its process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility and, accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized to date.


Net Income per Share


Basic net income per share for each class of participating common stock, excluding any dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock, is computed by dividing net income available to the common stockholders, based upon their distribution rights, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic; however diluted income per share reflects the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. There are no stock options, warrants, or other dilutive equity instruments outstanding.



49





Recently Issued Accounting Standards


On January 1, 2012, Symon adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This standard simplified the process a company must go through to test goodwill for impairment. Companies have an option to first assess qualitative factors of a reporting unit being tested before having to assess quantitative factors. If a company believes no impairment exists based on qualitative factors, then it will no longer be required to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. Symon tests its $11.0 million of goodwill for impairment as of January 31 each year. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on Symon’s consolidated financial statements.


In June 2011, the FASB issued amended disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in equity. Under the amended guidance, all changes in OCI are to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Symon adopted these changes in 2011 and applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Such adoption did not have material effect on Symons financial position or results of operations as it related only to changes in financial statement presentation.


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite – Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard).” This standard update allows companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not the asset is impaired. The amendments are effective for annual interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The implementation of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.


On January 1, 2012, Symon adopted the FASB ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This guidance amended certain fair value measurement concepts in FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” including items such as the application of the concept of highest and best use and required certain other disclosure requirements, including among other things, the level of the hierarchy used in the fair value measurement and a description of the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on Symon’s consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF SCG


The following discussion and of the financial condition and results of operations of SCG should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of SCG and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.


Overview



SCG was formed as a blank check company on January 5, 2011 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets that SCG had not yet identified (an “Initial Business Combination”). SCG was not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Nasdaq rules required that SCG’s Initial Business Combination be with one or more target businesses that together had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the sum of the balance in the trust account established in connection with SCG’s initial public offering (less any deferred corporate finance fees and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Initial Business Combination.


Recent Developments


On April 8, 2013, SCG consummated the acquisition of RMG, and on April 19, 2013, SCG consummated the acquisition of Symon. As a result of these transactions, SCG is no longer a blank check company. In connection with the acquisition of RMG, SCG provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock for cash equal to $10.00 per share, upon the consummation of the acquisition, pursuant to a tender offer. The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 5, 2013, and SCG promptly purchased the 4,551,228 shares of common stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45.5 million. For a description of these and other material developments subsequent to March 31, 2013, please see Note J – Subsequent Events to the interim financial statements of SCG included in this prospectus.


Results of Operations


SCG had not engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues through March 31, 2013. SCG’s entire activity since inception up to the closing of its initial public offering had been in preparation of the offering. Since the completion and closing of the initial public offering through March 31, 2013, SCG’s activity was limited to evaluating and negotiating business transaction candidates.  SCG did not generate any operating revenues through March 31, 2013. Through March 31, 2013, SCG generated small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income was not significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (i.e. United States Treasury Bills).


For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, SCG had net income/(losses) of $3,357,555 ($3,367,548 of expenses and $9,993 of accrued interest) and $369,140 ($361,777 of income and $7,363 of accrued interest), respectively.


For the year ended December 31, 2012, SCG had net loss of $1,208,103 ($1,861,689 of expenses, $600,000 of income attributable to change in fair value of warrant liability and $53,586 of accrued interest). For the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) through December 31, 2011, SCG had net income of $237,495 ($400,482 of expenses, $600,000 of income attributable to change in fair value of warrant liability and 37,977 of accrued interest), respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


On April 18, 2011, SCG consummated its initial public offering and received net proceeds of approximately $82,566,000, before deducting underwriting compensation of $4,000,000 (which included $2,000,000 of deferred contingent underwriting compensation payable upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination) and included $3,000,000 received for the purchase of 4,000,000 warrants by SCG Financial Holdings LLC. Total offering costs (excluding $2,000,000 in underwriting fees) was $433,808. On April 12, 2011, SCG’s sponsor purchased 4,000,000 warrants from SCG for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. Total gross proceeds to SCG from the 8,000,000 units sold in the initial public offering was $80,000,000. On April 27, 2011, $80,000,000 from the offering and Sponsor Warrants that was placed in a trust account was invested, as provided in the registration statement from SCG’s initial public offering. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the market value of the investment securities in the trust account consisted of $79,999,200 and $80,041,697, respectively, in United States Treasury Bills with a maturity of 180 days or less and $2,592 and $740, respectively, of cash equivalents.




51





As of March 31, 2013, SCG had $100,155 in a bank account which was available for use by management to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating an acquisition or merger. Out of the proceeds of SCG’s initial public offering which remained available outside of the trust account, SCG obtained officers and directors insurance covering a 12 month period from April 12, 2011 through April 12, 2012 for a cost of $65,000, with a prepaid balance at December 31, 2011 of $18,236. The officers and directors insurance policy was renewed for nine months, providing coverage through January 12, 2013 and then for an additional three months, providing coverage through April 12, 2013. The premiums for coverage during the periods April 13, through January 12, 2013 and January 13, 2013 through April 12, 2013 are $48,839 and $15,984, respectively. The prepaid balance as of March 31, 2013 was $2,131.


The cash balance as of March 31, 2013 was $100,155, which includes (1) receipt of $81,025,000 from the public and private sale of securities, net of underwriter fees, (2) payment of $433,808 of expenses associated with the initial public offering, (3) payment of $1,886,192 in operating expenditures, (4) investment of $80,000,000 in the trust account, and (5) loans from SCG’s sponsor of $1,295,000.



SCG Financial Holdings LLC loaned SCG funds from time to time, which were convertible into warrants of the post business transaction entity at a price of $0.75 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to SCG’s Sponsor Warrants. The holders of a majority of such warrants (or underlying shares) will be entitled to demand that SCG register these securities pursuant to an agreement to be entered into at the time of the loan. The holders of a majority of these securities would have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to such date. SCG will bear the expense incurred with the filing of any such registration statements.


Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements


SCG has restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2011 to correct its accounting for an adjustment related to the warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering. SCG’s original accounting treatment did not recognize a derivative liability and did not recognize any changes in the fair value of that derivative liability in its statements of operations.


In March 2013, SCG concluded it should correct its accounting related to SCG’s outstanding warrants. SCG had initially accounted for the warrants as a component of equity but upon further evaluation of the terms of the warrant, concluded that the warrants should be accounted for as a derivative liability. The warrants issued contain a restructuring price adjustment provision in the event of any merger or consolidation of SCG with or into another corporation, subsequent to the initial business combination, where the surviving entity is not SCG and whose stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange or on the OTC Bulletin Board, or is not to be so listed for trading immediately following such event (the “Applicable Event”). The exercise price of the warrant is decreased immediately following an Applicable Event by a formula that causes the warrants to not be indexed to SCG’s own stock. As a result of this provision, SCG has restated its financial statements to reflect SCG’s warrants as a derivative liability with changes in the fair value recorded in the current period earnings.


The following tables summarize the adjustments made to the previously reported December 31, 2011 balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows:

Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of interim financial statements and related disclosures 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. SCG has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:


Loss per common share


Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.


Recent accounting pronouncements


SCG’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on SCG’s interim financial statements.

BUSINESS

Overview


SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. (d/b/a RMG Networks), or RMG Networks, is a global provider of enterprise-class digital signage solutions and media applications. Through our suite of products, including media services, proprietary software, software-embedded hardware, technical services and third-party displays, we are able to deliver complete end-to-end intelligent visual communication solutions to our clients. We believe that we are one of the largest integrated digital signage solution providers globally and conduct our operations through our RMG Enterprise Solutions and RMG Media Networks business units.


Our RMG Enterprise Solutions business unit provides end-to-end digital signage applications to power intelligent visual communication implementations for critical contact center, supply chain, employee communications, hospitality, retail and other applications with a large concentration of customers in the financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceutical, utility and transportation industries, and in federal, state and local governments. We believe our solutions are relied upon by over 70% of the North American Fortune 100 companies and thousands of overall customers in locations worldwide. The installations of our Enterprise Solutions business deliver real-time intelligent visual content that enhances the ways in which organizations communicate with employees and customers. The solutions we provide are designed to integrate seamlessly with a customer’s IT infrastructure and data and security environments. These solutions are comprised of a suite of products that includes proprietary software, software-embedded hardware, maintenance and support services, content and creative services, installation services and third-party displays. We also provide cost-effective digital signage solutions to small and medium sized businesses through our cloud-based ChalkboxTV product, which allows businesses to communicate promotional messages to customers using their existing screen hardware.    


Our RMG Media Networks business unit engages elusive audience segments with relevant content and advertising delivered through digital place-based networks.  These networks include the RMG Airline Media Network and the RMG Mall Media Network. The RMG Airline Media Network is a U.S.-based network focused on selling advertising across airline digital media assets in executive clubs, on in-flight entertainment, or IFE, systems, on in-flight Wi-Fi portals and in private airport terminals. The network, which spans all major commercial passenger airlines in the United States, delivers to advertisers an audience of affluent travelers and business decision makers in a captive and distraction-free video environment.  Based on information provided by our airline, airport, IFE and Wi-Fi partners, we estimate that the RMG Airline Media Network is comprised of over 120,000 IFE screens, nearly 3,000 aircraft, and 145 airline and private terminal lounges and can reach an audience of over 35 million passengers per month. As of January 1, 2013, we had partner relationships providing access to sell media inventory across 12 unique airlines.  In many cases we maintain multiple relationships with the same airline.  We work with six airlines to sell their IFE system assets.  We work with seven airlines to sell their media assets in their executive clubs.  We work with nine airlines to sell their onboard Wi-Fi media assets. All the partner relationships are exclusive with the exception of one airline partnership agreement to sell IFE system assets, providing us with what we believe will be a growing revenue opportunity as airlines continue to install additional digital media assets. The RMG Mall Media Network reaches over 62 million Nielsen measured monthly viewers in 161 shopping malls across the United States.


We believe that we power more than one million digital screens and end-points, and that the diversity of products that we offer and our technical expertise provide our partners and customers with digital signage solutions that differentiate us from our competitors. We are led by an experienced senior management team with a proven track record of building and successfully running technology and advertising businesses.


History


We were incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2011 as a blank check company for the purpose of effecting a business combination with one or more businesses.  On April 8, 2013, we consummated the acquisition of RMG, pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2013, as amended, by and among us, SCG Financial Merger II Corp., RMG and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the Stockholder Representative, pursuant to which RMG became our subsidiary. On April 19, 2013, we consummated the acquisition of Symon, pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2013, by and among us, SCG Financial Merger III Corp., Symon and the securityholders’ representative named therein, pursuant to which Symon became our subsidiary.


At the closing of the RMG acquisition, the former holders of RMG’s outstanding capital stock became entitled to receive (i) 400,000 shares of our common stock, of which 300,000 shares were deposited in an escrow account with an escrow agent, (ii) $10,000 in cash, payable pro rata to the former holders of SCG’s Series C preferred stock, and (iii) $10,000 in cash, all of which was deposited in an escrow account to be used to reimburse RMG’s Stockholder Representative for any losses the Stockholder Representative might incur pursuant to the terms and conditions of the RMG Merger Agreement. Additionally, at the closing of the RMG acquisition, we paid, on behalf of RMG and its subsidiaries, all indebtedness of RMG Networks, Inc., a



54





Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMG. The aggregate amount of indebtedness repaid was equal to $23.5 million (of which $21.0 million was paid in cash and the remaining $2.5 million was paid by the issuance of 250,000 shares of our common stock).


At the closing of the Symon acquisition, Symon’s stockholders received an aggregate of $45.0 million, minus (i) the amount of any indebtedness of Symon and its subsidiaries as of the date, which indebtedness was repaid in full by us at the closing, (ii) $1,523,251, representing the amount by which the expenses of Symon and its subsidiaries and securityholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Symon Merger Agreement exceeded the permitted transaction-related costs of $2 million, and (iii) $250,000, which amount was paid to the Symon Securityholders’ Representative to be held in trust as a source of reimbursement for Symon costs and expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in such capacity. At the closing, SCG also paid the expenses of Symon and its subsidiaries and securityholders incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Symon Merger Agreement.


As a result of the RMG and Symon acquisitions, RMG and Symon became our subsidiaries, and the business and assets of RMG, Symon and their subsidiaries are our only operations. Symon is considered to be our predecessor for accounting purposes.


Founded in 2005 as Danouv Inc., RMG began its operations by developing a digital signage technology platform for ad serving and content distribution. RMG launched an initial media network with 650 screens in coffee shops and eateries in August 2006. In September 2006, Danouv Inc. changed its name to Danoo Inc. In July 2009, Danoo purchased certain assets of IdeaCast Inc., which operated a digital signage network in gyms and fitness centers and in the airline in-flight entertainment space. In August 2009, Danoo was renamed RMG Networks, Inc. In 2012, RMG restructured its business to focus on airline media because of its leading position in that market.


Symon is a Delaware corporation that was founded in 1980.


Industry


Digital Signage

We believe the proliferation of digital signage in business and out-of-home environments allows advertisers and companies to engage consumers, employees and targeted audiences more effectively than traditional means. The digital signage industry is comprised of hardware, software and professional services that create solutions for advertising and business to business networks. The deployment of digital signage networks has continued to increase through the recent economic downturn.

As digital signage systems have evolved, they have become more cost effective and able to provide richer media content. The initial costs of planning and deploying digital signage infrastructure have dropped, reducing a significant barrier to growth. Today’s solutions support remote manageability, energy efficiency and the ability to process and blend rich media content. Customers are recognizing the flexibility and cost-effectiveness digital signage can provide compared to other forms of communication.

There are several market drivers that are dramatically impacting the traditional digital signage industry and driving increased utilization of digital signage solutions:

Demand for real-time information—Because of increased technology enablement, both organizations and individual consumers expect information to be more available and timely. Digital signage solutions are increasingly providing organizations with multiple ways of distributing content and data instantly and can provide a richer experience if the operator’s screens include interactive touch-screen functionality.

Social/Local/Mobile or “SoLoMo”—Social media, the need for localized information, and the proliferation and capabilities of mobile smart phones and tablets are increasingly driving social and professional interactions and present an expanded opportunity for growth in the digital signage industry. Digital signage has the ability to leverage social media feeds and present them in an eye-catching manner, delivering a sense of immediacy and engaging viewers on a timely, highly focused basis through constantly refreshed content. When coupled with mobile and proximity technology, digital signage can deliver content to a relevant and specific location at moments of maximum influence and in a timely and personalized experience.

Big Data—Big Data is the collection and re-purposing of disparate data sources from enterprise systems and the cloud, enabling new, emerging capabilities around trend spotting, real-time decision making, performance management, sentiment analysis and customer service. Organizations around the world are making significant investments in Big Data to identify business, marketing, sales and service opportunities that will differentiate them competitively. Deploying digital signage projects using Big Data offers organizations to drive greater content relevance for its constituents.

Digital Out-of-Home Advertising

Digital out-of-home advertising is a relatively new form of advertising, but is becoming an effective way for advertisers to reach their target audience in captive locations for long periods of time. According to  Magna Global, Global Advertising Revenue Forecast and Historical Data, December, 2012, the digital out-of-home advertising market accounted for a small but rapidly growing portion of the $146 billion U.S. advertising market in 2011. U.S. digital out-of-home advertising revenue grew to $1.3 billion in 2011, representing a 10-year compound annual growth rate of 20.9%, and is expected to grow to approximately $2.5 billion by 2017. We believe the increase in advertising spending in this medium is largely a result of better research and overall visibility of the medium and digital technology, which have enhanced the reach and the overall value proposition of digital out-of-home advertising for local, regional, national and international advertisers. PQ Media states that Digital Place-based Networks, or DPN, growth is being driven by a number of factors, including consumers spending more time consuming media outside the home, DPNs are close to the point of purchase, the media buying process and the corresponding audience metrics are continually improving, and DPNs are resistant to the ad-skipping technology that impacts the television market.

We believe few other marketing media channels can match the value proposition that digital signage delivers: the ability to reach a mass audience with a high level of flexibility to distribute content, change messages and target specific audiences at a lower cost per impression than traditional media. To put industry growth into perspective, PQ Media predicts a 19.2% compound annual growth rate from 2011 to 2016 for Global Digital Place-based Networks. Forecasted annual industry revenues grow from $5.9 billion in 2012 to $6.9 billion in 2013 and $12.3 billion for 2016 according to PQ Media’s Global Digital Out-of-Home Media Forecast 2012-2016, 5th Edition, 2012.

Competitive Strengths


We believe that the following factors differentiate us from our competitors and position us for continued growth:  


Complete and customizable end-to-end solutions.   We craft end-to-end visual communication solutions for our customers. To accomplish this, we approach the market with a full complement of integrated ready-to-use technologies, including our proprietary software and software-embedded appliances, internally-designed LED display boards, and a wide variety of third-party flat screen displays, kiosks, and video walls.  We provide a wide range of professional services for ourselves and our customers and partners, including installation and training, software and hardware maintenance and support, creative content and advertising management.  We are typically the prime source globally for technical resources for implementations that feature our proprietary software and software-embedded appliances. We maintain strong customer support groups in the United States and internationally offering around-the-clock client support.  In addition, we have a full-time global team of creative artists, graphic designer, and editors who develop both original and subscription content as required by customers.  


Our technology solution is scalable, extensible and security certified to meet demanding requirements.  One key to our market leadership is our robust software suite that offers scalability for essentially any client application. This includes installations ranging from only one display to many hundreds or even thousands of end-points. Our enterprise software suite incorporates leading network security features and has the flexibility to handle millions of data points and gigabytes of managed content. Our Smart Digital Appliances, InView desktop application, and InView Mobile-Data applications for smart phones and tablets meet the requirements of many of the largest financial services and telecommunications companies in the United States. Our data-integration components ensure that any external source can be leveraged in a solution, including databases, telephony, POS, RSS, web content, and many more.


Our products can be easily adapted to satisfy a wide array of customer applications.   We believe our products add significant value for all types of enterprise business needs, such as real-time reporting and alerting for contact centers, supply chain warehousing, and manufacturing. Other enterprise uses include company news and information for employee or corporate communications. Our products are also commonly used in public-facing environments, such as hotels, convention centers, hospitals, universities, casinos, retail operations, and government facilities.


We are trusted by some of the largest organizations in the world.   Some of the largest and most demanding organizations, including over 70% of the North American Fortune 100 companies and a large percentage of the Fortune 500 companies, count on our solutions every day to inform, educate and motivate their employees and customers and to build their brands. Our solutions seamlessly interface with these organizations’ complex IT infrastructure in a secure manner, often as one of the few solution providers authorized “behind the firewall”, which means that our internal operations are sufficiently secure that these major customers permit us to operate inside their IT environment behind these customers’ security firewalls.  We have experienced considerable growth with these large customers because of our proven security capabilities inside the customer’s environment. We have found that add-on sales opportunities and customer longevity are very high when our hardware and software have been authorized by customers to work behind these customers’ firewalls.



56






We serve customers through a global footprint.   We have offices and personnel focused on developing business or located in North America, Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia. We service thousands of customers worldwide and estimate that millions of people globally view our content each day on our advertising networks and at our customers’ installations. Our global presence enables us to satisfy the worldwide requirements of our multi-national customers and to pursue market opportunities in high-growth geographies outside of North America. To facilitate our global footprint, we have well-established relationships with leading business partners and resellers around the world.


Targeted national advertising network. Our captive and engaged audience of business decision makers and affluent consumers is highly sought-after by advertisers because of their media consumption habits. According to the 2011 Fall GfK MRI weighted to Population, our IFE network audience has a median age of 47 and is more than twice as likely to have a household income of over $200,000 per year, 66% more likely to have a professional or related occupation and almost twice as likely to have an occupation in management, business or financial operations. Our ability to bring together ten U.S. commercial passenger airlines into a single network with broad scale and reach with similar in-flight media assets has made the RMG Airline Media Network attractive and in demand with advertisers. The RMG Mall Media Network engages active shoppers within the mall environment. With installations located in mall food courts, our network delivers a full sight, sound and motion media experience in a seated mall environment.


Experienced management team.   Our management team has significant experience in launching emerging digital media platforms, advertising sales, and digital network design and operations.


Growth Strategy


Our growth strategy is to leverage and continue to build upon the advantages developed by us, including through the following:


Expanding our customer base or increasing revenue potential.   We have identified and are currently pursuing numerous paths to expand our existing base of business or increase our revenue potential, including in our RMG Enterprise Solutions business unit:


·

Growing our presence in segments that have shown a high propensity to deploy visual communications like employee transformation, higher education, healthcare and customer facing retail applications.

·

Building upon current successes in emerging geographic markets, such as the Middle East and India and expanding further into Southeast Asia to address the large and fast growing call center marketplace in the region.  We also believe there are strong growth opportunities in both Latin and South America for our core offerings, particularly in Mexico and Brazil, where known opportunities exist through resellers seeking partnerships with global solutions providers like us. We are also considering ways to leverage our presence in China and to build on our relationships there to offer technology products and professional services to companies in China.

·

Evolving and expanding our portfolio of offerings related to, among others, small and medium sized business solutions, mobile applications, cloud based content management platforms, interactive kiosks and linkages to social media.


and in our RMG Media Networks business unit:


·

Increasing the price points for our airline media network cost per thousand impressions, or CPM. In 2012, demand for many premium media assets offered by our RMG subsidiary outpaced supply, creating a shortage during prime advertising months. We believe that, based on the 2012 demand levels, our pricing does not yet fully reflect the highly targeted nature of our impressions, higher recall rates, ability to provide informative audience data to our advertising customers and, most importantly, the inability to turn off or skip our advertising messages. We believe that there is an opportunity for continued CPM growth, especially as our inventory utilization increases, providing a more favorable supply-demand dynamic.

·

Expanding geographic coverage and reach of the Airline Media Network. We intend to expand the reach and geographic coverage of our Airline Media Network to China and Europe by connecting additional airlines, airplanes and airline executive clubs to the network through additional partner agreements or the international operations of current airline partners. Our strategy for attracting new airline partners is to focus primarily on the largest international carriers by passenger count and the most trafficked international airports.



57





 

·

Developing new out-of-home networks including our RMG Mall Media business.  We believe that our scalable infrastructure offers us a competitive advantage to expand into new digital out-of-home media networks. We are currently reviewing other captive digital place-based media networks that deliver valuable audience segments. We believe that targeted advertising will continue to grow in importance as a percentage of advertising spending and that networks in other retail environments will continue to develop. Importantly, we believe that our distribution technology, sales force, other existing operating infrastructure and client relationships could create growth opportunities for it in these other retail environments.

Pursuing targeted acquisitions.   We expect to continually evaluate companies with products and services that can help us expand our presence in our current markets and penetrate new industry segments, and believe that the relatively fragmented nature of the digital signage industry offers a significant number of such acquisition opportunities. These acquisition targets include:


·

Companies that utilize a premises-based solutions model and have a presence in industries that we currently serve and have targeted for growth. We expect to seek out companies that have an established customer base and revenue stream, a complementary technology platform, and a set of deep industry competencies that we do not currently possess.

·

Companies that utilize a hosted solutions model that targets industry segments with a higher propensity to utilize hosted visual solutions over premises-based solutions. These segments do not have an onsite IT staff, do not have skilled on-site content managers, are price sensitive, and prefer a subscription-based offering.

·

Complementary and captive place-based advertising networks.


Cross selling between our business units. We believe that the combined U.S. and international customer bases of our Enterprise Solutions and Media Networks business units offer us significant cross selling opportunities and expect to develop these opportunities through continued cooperation of our business units’ sales forces and coordinated technology development.

Products and Solutions


We deploy digital signage solutions in highly efficient global networks with both the features and functions required for rich media solutions. Our RMG Enterprise Solutions and RMG Media Networks business units provide distinct but complementary products and solutions:


RMG Enterprise Solutions:


Our proprietary software-based platform seamlessly integrates within our customers’ existing IT networks. We provide both a premises-based content management system for fixed in-building installations and a hosted system for content subscription services and mobility solutions. We incorporate state-of-the-art functionality and capabilities by working closely with leading global technology partners.  These relationships result in access to proprietary interfaces, and testing and lab environments.


Enterprise Software (“ES”) is a robust software engine used to collect content from various sources, re-purpose the content according to pre-defined business rule, and distribute the re-purposed content to visual solution end-points. Data Collector interfaces link ES with customers’ enterprise operations systems.  We have built and maintain standard and vendor proprietary data collectors for all major enterprise operations systems and believe that these data collectors give us a distinct advantage by being able to deliver solutions that are operational more quickly, less expensively and with higher quality than the competition.  


Media Players/Smart Digital Appliances (“SDA”) are software-embedded media players that function as the intelligent interface between our ES content engine and the visual display end-points. SDAs “pull” content and content rules and parameters from ES and then display the content on the screens according to established rules and parameters.


Design Studio (“DS”) and Design Studio Lite (“DSL”) are two offerings that are either a full-function application installed on the client’s PC (DS) or web-based (DSL) software suites used to design the look, feel, function and timing of how content will appear and be used on end-point displays. The software features a set of pre-designed templates that can be combined with external content feeds that are provided by us or other external content providers.


InView Mobile-Data ( Mobility Solutions ) is a real-time on-demand technology that seamlessly integrates with the ES real-time data. InView Mobile-Data enables managers to use their iOS and Android mobile devices to access real-time dashboards containing key performance indicators and data alerts them to any issues that can affect customer service, operations, and product quality, thereby allowing them to quickly respond with appropriate actions to meet established company goals.



58





Subscription Content Services provides “business-appropriate” news and current information, created by our editors. In addition, weather, stock information, airport flight data, and 101 ticker feeds allow clients to customize the desired output in almost any manner they require. This service is hosted by us, and it complements customers’ messaging by keeping their audience engaged with fresh news and information throughout the day.  


Electronic Displays (“ED”) include a line of displays designed by us, such as SmartScreens, door displays, and LED wallboards that are architected to work seamlessly with our content management software. We also offer a large portfolio of third-party displays from some of the most recognizable brands in screen and electronic display technology.


RMG Media Networks:


The RMG Airline Media Network. We help airline partners unlock economic value from their existing assets while providing advertisers access to targeted, high-value and captive audiences. We believe that the reach, scope and digital delivery capability of our network of digital place-based media provides an effective platform for advertisers to reach an affluent and engaged audience on a highly targeted and measurable basis. We estimate that an airplane on which our media runs takes off every 20 seconds and that our media network can reach over 35 million people per month.  The RMG Airline Media Network is currently located in some of the busiest domestic airports and covers travelers to and from the top designated market areas in the United States. As of January 2013, we estimate that the RMG Airline Media Network includes over 120,000 IFE screens, 3,000 aircraft and 145 airline executive clubs and private airport terminals in the U.S.


RMG’s Airline Media Network advertising inventory includes digital signage in airline executive clubs displaying static and video messaging and also includes static and video IFE and Wi-Fi advertising units shown on commercial airlines in the United States. Short and long form IFE video content can be shown simultaneously on every digital media asset on a given aircraft, or inserted into or around other individual video programming. Static IFE banner units and static and animated online and interactive advertising units are also supported by the network. Our media technology platform powers the screens located inside airline executive clubs and we rely on airline partners and technology partners to supply content to in-aircraft IFE screens and Wi-Fi portals.


RMG Mall Media. RMG Mall Media is a premier, mall-based digital video network engaging affluent audiences in premium shopping mall food courts across the US. Extended dwell-times coupled with full sight, sound and motion allow advertisers to cut through the retail clutter and deliver a relevant and engaging message. The network reaches over 62 million Nielsen estimated monthly viewers in 161 shopping malls in 61 top DMAs across the United States.


Proprietary Planning and Inventory System. Our proprietary planning and inventory system supports key advertising and partner management business processes such as customer acquisition, advertising inventory, customer management and revenue recognition


Global Sales Model


RMG Enterprise Solutions


Our RMG Enterprise Solutions business unit sells products and services through a worldwide professional sales force, as well as through a select group of resellers and local partners. In North America, approximately 90% or more of Enterprise Solutions sales were generated solely by our sales team, with 10% or less through resellers in 2012. In the United Kingdom, Western Europe, the Middle East and India, the situation is reversed, with around 85% of sales coming from the reseller channel. We currently rely on a direct sales model to sell the professional services engagements in the China market. Overall, approximately 67% of RMG Enterprise Solutions’ recent historical global revenues have been derived from direct sales, with the remaining 33% generated through indirect partner channels.


Our RMG Enterprise Solutions global sales team includes six sales leaders and 36 sales representatives, as well as five subject matter experts (one each for large accounts, alliances and channels, supply chain, employee communications, and retail opportunities) to assist the global team. The sales team members each have at least five years of specific experience in selling complex enterprise technology solutions. The sales team is supported in the pre-sales process by a team of highly skilled sales engineers, who help to present solutions that meet each customer’s specific needs. In general, the sales compensation structure for the sales staff is approximately half base salary and half commissions. The amount of payment of commissions is dependent on representatives reaching their monthly and annual sales objectives. In addition, commissions are modified by the overall profitability of the mix of products that are sold. Our resellers globally are supported by one or more of our sales team members to assist them with proposing unique solutions for clients and prospects. RMG Enterprise Solutions is in the process of recruiting a channel sales force of third party dealers to resell the ChalkboxTV product to potential customers.




59





RMG Media Networks


Our RMG Media Networks business unit sells and markets advertising through a direct sales and marketing group. Our sales staff of ten people (as of December 31, 2012) is located in sales offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit. A significant percentage of the compensation for the sales staff is variable and commission-based, with a portion of commissions shared across the team in order to enhance coordination and teamwork.  The sales team meets directly with clients and advertising agencies to consult with them on the merits of digital out-of-home advertising. We also have a marketing department with public relations and research capabilities that has commissioned third-party market research on the effectiveness of digital out-of-home advertising. This research has provided customers with evidence of the strong performance of its product relative to other broadcast advertising based on metrics such as brand recognition, message recall and likeability.


Customers


RMG Enterprise Solutions


Customers around the world purchase our RMG Enterprise Solutions software, hardware and services primarily under our standard agreements; for larger customers, a master services agreement is individually negotiated when necessary. Upon approval of the customer’s or reseller’s credit, customers purchase a mix of licensed software, hardware, installation services, training services, maintenance services and/or content services. Maintenance and content services are sold on an annualized basis, creating an annuity income and a close business relationship for us. It is common that a down payment is required from hospitality customers and occasionally from other customers as needed. Our resellers purchase products and services from us to resell to their clients. In general, we assist resellers with installation, training services, and on-going support in partnership with our resellers.


During the calendar year 2012, RMG Enterprise Solutions’ largest end user clients included Abbott Labs, Allstate, American Express, AT&T, Carlson Wagonlit, Computer Sciences Corporation, Department of Veterans Affairs, Federal Reserve Banks, Hilton Properties, JPMorgan Chase, Kaiser Permanente, King Saud University, Marriott Properties, Mosaic Company, Prudential Insurance, Qatar University, Roche AG, State Farm Insurance, Thomson Reuters, United Utilities, and Verizon Wireless. Among our largest reseller business partners around the world in 2012 were Alpha Data, Altetia, Baud Telecom, BT, Cable & Wireless, Carousel, Dynamic Systems, Inc., iBAHN, NACR, Techno Q and Verizon Business.


RMG Media Networks


Airline Media Network Partners.  Our RMG Media Networks business unit partners with airlines, airports and aircraft IFE and Wi-Fi providers to sell advertising on digital media assets located in executive clubs, private airport terminals and on aircraft. As of January 1, 2013, RMG Media Networks had partner relationships with twelve unique airlines to sell their media assets.  In many cases RMG maintains multiple relationships with the same airline.  We work with six airlines to sell their IFE system assets.  We work with seven airlines to sell their media assets in their executive clubs.  We work with nine airlines to sell their onboard Wi-Fi media assets. All the partner relationships are exclusive with the exception of one airline partnership agreement to sell IFE system assets. We typically serve as the exclusive third-party agent for advertising sales for specified digital media assets in our partners’ air travel networks, but the scope of our exclusivity rights varies from contract to contract. For example, we have exclusive rights to sell advertising for digital assets that we provide and manage as part of Delta’s IFE systems and in its executive clubs. Other partners, however, grant us exclusivity over certain formats like video advertisements but not over other formats like print. We share advertising revenues with our partners. The portion of revenue that we share with our partners ranges from 25% to 80% depending on the partner and the media asset.  We make minimum annual payments to three partners and revenue sharing payments to all other partners (including payments in excess of minimum annual payments, if any). Our partnership agreements have terms ranging from one to five years. Four partnership agreements renew automatically unless terminated prior to renewal and the remainder have no obligation to renew. Three partnership contracts were subject to renewal in 2013, two of which were renewed at comparable rates and terms. We have been given notice that one contract will not be renewed.


Advertising Customers.   RMG Media Networks’ advertising business has a diverse customer base, consisting of more than 70 international, national and regional advertisers. The revenues obtained from advertisers varies greatly, from less than $100 to more than $4 million annually, with an average annual revenue per advertiser over $275,000. RMG has business relationships with many national advertisers across a wide variety of industries, such as automotive, computers, consumer products, credit card, financial services, insurance, tourism, and telecommunications.


Competition


Holding a strong, competitive position in the market for digital signage requires maintaining a diverse product portfolio that addresses a wide variety of customer needs.  We believe we have been a leading global provider of products and

services to the contact center and employee communications markets for more than 30 years. Our customers include many of the largest organizations in the world and, as a result, our brand is well established in these markets. We have also developed a strong customer base in the supply chain, hospitality, gaming, higher education, and retail markets, both in North America and internationally.


The worldwide digital signage market is vast and diverse.  In addition to the scope of our product and service portfolio, we compete based upon commercial availability, price, visual performance, brand reputation, power usage and customer service.  Customer requirements vary as to products and services, and as to the size and geographic location of the solutions. We compete with a broad range of companies, including local, national and international organizations. In addition, competitors’ offerings differ widely. Some competitors offer a range of products and services; others offer only a single part of the overall digital signage solution.


Our digital out-of-home media assets compete with many other forms of marketing media, including television, radio, print media, Internet and outdoor display advertising. While digital out-of-home advertising represents a small portion of the advertising industry today, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on what we believe will be an increasing shift of advertising spending away from mass media to more targeted forms of media, like digital out-of-home advertising. As the number of media platforms continues to increase, the ability to target narrow consumer demographics and to provide measurable third-party marketing information has become increasingly important. We believe that proliferation of digital technology enabling improved data collection and return on investment measurement will increase advertisers’ demand for digital advertising platforms and that the RMG Airline Media Network and RMG Mall Media Network are well positioned to address these trends.


We believe that we are able to generate economies of scale, operating efficiencies and enhanced opportunities for our advertising customers to access a national and regional audience, giving us a competitive advantage over many of our advertising competitors. Given the scale and technical capabilities of our digital network, we believe we are able to tailor our advertising programs with more flexibility and to a broader audience than other digital out-of-home advertising companies, providing a more entertaining consumer experience and a more effective platform for advertisers.


Our competitive strategy is built around our ability to provide end-to-end solutions; extensive software and hardware options; a consultative sales and partnership approach that delivers the optimum customer solution; a highly qualified staff of installation and integration professionals; seamless integration with customers’ IT infrastructure, data, and security environments; custom screen and content design; advertising management; and post-sale customer service and global technical support. We believe that our relative size and competitive strategy gives us an advantage in the markets we serve.


Though our direct competitors are numerous, diverse and vary greatly in size, we view the principal competitors to our RMG Enterprise Solutions business unit as Scala, Stratacache, Four Winds Interactive, Inova, Janus Displays, Cisco, Visix, X2O Media, ComQi, John Ryan & Associates, Broadsign International, Nanonation, Reflect Systems, and Navori, S.A. We view the principal competitors to our RMG Media Networks business unit as Captivate Network, IZ ON Media LLC, National CineMedia Inc., JCDecaux SA, Titan Outdoor LLC and Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc.


Employees


As of April 30, 2013, we had 248 global employees, with 182 in our North American operations, including 48 in sales, 45 in professional services, 27 in technical support/help desk and 62 in general and administration. Internationally we had, 66 employees supporting our global operations, including 13 in sales, 20 in professional services, 20 in technical support/help desk and 13 in general and administration. Our U.S. employees are not covered by any collective bargaining units and we have never experienced a work stoppage in the U.S. Our international employees are also not covered by any national union contracts.


Intellectual Property and Trademarks


We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, patent, unfair competition and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish, maintain and protect our proprietary rights. These laws, procedures and contractual restrictions provide only limited protection and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and, therefore, in certain jurisdictions, we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology. We generally require employees, consultants, customers, suppliers and partners to execute confidentiality agreements with us that restrict the disclosure of our intellectual property. We also generally require our employees and consultants to execute invention assignment agreements with us that protect our intellectual property rights. Despite these precautions, third parties may obtain and use without our consent intellectual property that we own or license. Any unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may adversely affect our business.



61






As of March 31, 2013, we had four issued patents in the United States related to technology contained in LED displays, which each expire on February 10, 2019.  None of these patents are material to our business. In addition, we had three issued patents and four patent applications pending in the United States. These patents are material to our business because they relate to innovations embedded in the software that underlies our media networks.  These patents expire at various times between 2025 and 2027. We cannot ensure that any of our pending patent applications will be granted or that any of our issued patents will adequately protect our intellectual property. In addition, third parties could claim invalidity or co-inventorship, or make similar claims with respect to any of our currently issued patents or any patents that may be issued to us in the future. Any such claims, whether or not successful, could be extremely costly to defend, divert management’s time, attention, and resources, damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business.


We expect that we and others in the industry may be subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors grows and the functionality of products and services overlaps. Our competitors could make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our products and underlying technology. Third parties may currently have, or may eventually be issued, patents upon which our current solution or future technology infringe. Any of these third parties might make a claim of infringement against us at any time.


Government Regulation


We are subject to varied federal, state and local government regulation in the jurisdictions in which we conduct business, including tax laws and regulations relating to our relationships with our employees, public health and safety, zoning, and fire codes. We operate each of our offices, and distribution and assembly facilities in accordance with standards and procedures designed to comply with applicable laws, codes and regulations.


We import and export products into and from the United States. These activities are subject to laws and regulations, including those issued and/or enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure compliance with the applicable laws and regulations in these areas.


Properties


Our corporate headquarters is located in a 20,000 square foot facility in Plano, Texas. In the United States, we also lease approximately 4,000 square feet of office space in San Francisco, California, and lease sales and other secondary offices in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, St. Peters (Missouri) and Pittsford (New York).   


Our European and Middle Eastern operations are based in our leased office located in Hemel Hempstead, England, and a sub-office serving the Middle East is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. There are three employees located in India who support local resellers and customers. We also maintain a technology support office in Beijing, China.


Most of our office and manufacturing locations are subject to long-term leases, which expire between the second half of 2013 and 2016.  We expect to extend, or relocate to new facilities at the end of the expiring lease terms, our leases that are expiring in 2013. We believe our facilities are adequate to meet our current needs and intend to add or change facilities as our needs require.


Legal Proceedings


From time to time, we have been and may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we are not presently involved in any legal proceeding in which the outcome, if determined adversely to us, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Classes of Directors

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, being divided as equally as possible with each class having a term of three years. Mr. Sachs and Mr. Trutter are the Class I directors, whose terms of office will continue until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2013 and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. Swimmer and Mr. Shrear are the Class II directors, whose terms of office will continue until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2014 and until their


64





respective successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. McGuire and Mr. Hayzlett are the Class III directors, whose terms of office will continue until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2015 and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

Independence of Directors

As a result of our securities being listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we adhere to the rules of that exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The Nasdaq Capital Market requires that a majority of the board must be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Consistent with these considerations, our board of directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. Shrear, Mr. Swimmer, Mr. Trutter and Mr. Hayzlett are independent directors.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Mr. Shrear, Mr. Swimmer and Mr. Trutter. Each is an independent director and, as required by Nasdaq rules, has not participated in the preparation of our financial statements at any time during the past three years and is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, we must certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in such member’s financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Trutter satisfies the definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The audit committee’s duties include, among other things:


·

reviewing and discussing with management and the independent registered public accountant our annual and quarterly financial statements;

·

discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;

·

discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

·

monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;

·

verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

·

reviewing and approving all transactions between us and related persons;

·

inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations and our code of ethics;

·

pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

·

appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

·

determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and

·

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies.


Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Mr. Hayzlett, Mr. Swimmer and Mr. Trutter.  Each is a non-employee director who is independent in accordance with the Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service. Among other functions, the compensation committee will oversee the compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers and senior management, including plans and programs relating to cash compensation, incentive compensation, equity-based awards and other benefits and perquisites, and administer any such plans or programs as required by the terms thereof.


65





Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Mr. Hayzlett, Mr. Shrear and Mr. Trutter, each of whom is an independent director. The principal duties and responsibilities of our nominating and corporate governance committee will be to identify qualified individuals to become board members, recommend to the board individuals to be designated as nominees for election as directors at the annual meetings of stockholders, and develop and recommend to the board our corporate governance guidelines.

Director Nominees

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. Our nominating committee will considers persons identified by our stockholders, management, investment bankers and others. In general, the committee believes that persons to be nominated should be actively engaged in business, have an understanding of financial statements, corporate budgeting and capital structure, be familiar with the requirements of a publicly traded company, be familiar with industries relevant to our business, be willing to devote significant time to the oversight duties of the board of directors of a public company, and be able to promote a diversity of views based on the person’s education, experience and professional employment. The nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate each individual in the context of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that it believes can best implement our business plan, perpetuate our business and represent stockholder interests. The nominating and corporate governance committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time. The nominating and corporate governance committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

Specifically, the guidelines for selecting nominees provide that our nominating committee expects to consider and evaluate candidates based on, among other factors, the following criteria:


·

Independence under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market;

·

Accomplishments and reputations, both personal and professional;

·

Relevant experience and expertise;

·

Knowledge of our company and issues affecting our company;

·

Moral and ethical character; and

·

Ability to commit the required time necessary to discharge the duties of board membership.


Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our executive officers, directors and employees, its subsidiaries and its controlled affiliates in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. A copy of the code of conduct and ethics will be provided by us without charge.

Communication with the Board of Directors

Our stockholders and other interested parties may send written communications directly to the board of directors or to specified individual directors, including the Executive Chairman or any non-management directors, by sending such communications to our corporate headquarters. Such communications will be reviewed by our legal counsel and, depending on the content, will be:


·

forwarded to the addressees or distributed at the next scheduled board meeting;

·

if they relate to financial or accounting matters, forwarded to the audit committee or distributed at the next scheduled audit committee meeting;

·

if they relate to executive officer compensation matters, forwarded to the compensation committee or discussed at the next scheduled compensation committee meeting;

·

if they relate to our operations, forwarded to the appropriate officers of our company, and the response or other handling of such communications reported to the board of directors at the next scheduled board meeting.

Director Compensation

Our board of directors has adopted a compensation plan for non-employee directors of the board, effective in 2013. Pursuant to the director compensation plan, our non-employee directors will be paid $25,000 annually, and the director serving as the chair of the audit committee will be paid an additional $25,000 annually. In addition, each non-employee director will be granted 5,000 shares of our common stock annually, subject to our adoption of an equity incentive plan. We will also reimburse directors for reasonable travel and other expenses in connection with attending meetings of the board. We did not compensate any of our directors for service on our board in 2012.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

From SCG’s inception in January 2011 through the consummation of its initial business combination with RMG in April 2013, none of SCG’s executive officers or directors received any compensation (cash or non-cash) for services rendered. Commencing on the date that SCG’s securities were first quoted on the OTCBB and continuing through the consummation of the acquisition of RMG, SCG paid Sachs Capital Group LP, an entity beneficially owned and controlled by Mr. Sachs, a total of $7,500 per month for office space and administrative services, including secretarial support. This arrangement was agreed to by Sachs Capital Group LP for SCG’s benefit and was not intended to provide Sachs Capital Group LP (or Mr. Sachs) compensation in lieu of a salary. We believe that such fees were at least as favorable as SCG could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party for such services. Other than this $7,500 per month fee, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid to the Sponsor, SCG’s executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of RMG. However, these individuals were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SCG’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. SCG’s independent directors reviewed on a quarterly basis all payments that have been made to the Sponsor, SCG’s officers, directors or their affiliates.

On April 25, 2012, SCG Financial Merger I Corp. (“SCG Intermediate”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. and the direct parent company of Symon and RMG, entered into an employment agreement with Garry K. McGuire. Mr. McGuire is expected to provide his services as our Chief Executive Officer through this employment agreement with SCG Intermediate. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. McGuire has agreed to serve as Chief Executive Officer of SCG Intermediate for a three year term commencing on April 25, 2013. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. McGuire will also serve as a member of the Board of Directors of SCG Intermediate. Under the employment agreement, Mr. McGuire is entitled to receive an annual salary of $450,000 per year, subject to annual increases at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Mr. McGuire will also be entitled to an annual bonus of up to $480,000 based on SCG Intermediate’s achievement of certain earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (“EBITDA”) targets to be established by the Board of Directors on an annual basis (the “EBITDA Targets”). Bonus amounts payable to Mr. McGuire payable to Mr. McGuire under his employment agreement will be calculated on a quarterly basis, and Mr. McGuire will be paid a pro rata portion of the following the completion of each fiscal quarter. If Mr. McGuire receives quarterly bonus payments in excess of the amount actually earned through the end of the fiscal year, Mr. McGuire will be required to repay such excess bonus amounts to SCG Intermediate. Alternatively, SCG Intermediate may retain or forfeit other compensation, payments or awards payable to Mr. McGuire until such excess bonus payments are recovered.

The employment agreement will automatically terminate upon Mr. McGuire’s death and will be terminable at the option of SCG Intermediate for “cause” or if Mr. McGuire becomes “disabled” (each as defined in the employment agreement). If the SCG Intermediate terminates the employment agreement without “cause” or Mr. McGuire is deemed to have been “constructively terminated” (as defined in the employment agreement), SCG Intermediate will be obligated to pay to Mr. McGuire all accrued but unpaid salary and benefits and a pro-rated bonus for the year in which such termination occurs and will be required to continue to pay Mr. McGuire’s base salary until the later of the end of the then current term of Mr. McGuire’s employment or the twelve month anniversary of his termination date. In addition, all unvested equity awards (if any) granted to Mr. McGuire prior to the date of his termination will become fully vested as of the termination date. The payment of any severance benefits under the employment agreement will be subject to Mr. McGuire’s execution of a release of all claims against SCG Intermediate on or before the 21st day following his separation from service.

If SCG Intermediate terminates the employment agreement without “cause” or Mr. McGuire is deemed to have been “constructively terminated”, in either case within 12 months following a “change in control” of SCG Intermediate, then, in addition to the severance payments described in the foregoing paragraph, SCG Intermediate will be required to pay to Mr. McGuire a lump sum payment of $850,000 (subject to the execution by Mr. McGuire of a release of all claims against SCG Intermediate on or before the 21st day following his separation from service). As used in the employment agreement, the term “change in control” generally refers to the occurrence of (i) the acquisition by any person or group of persons of equity securities of SCG Intermediate that, together with equity securities held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the equity securities of SCG Intermediate or (ii) the acquisition by any person or group of persons of all or substantially all of the assets of SCG Intermediate.



67





The employment agreement contains customary confidentiality provisions, which apply both during and after the term of the employment agreement, and customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, which apply during the term of the employment agreement and for one year thereafter.

William G. Cole is currently party to an employment agreement with Symon. Under the terms of this employment agreement, Mr. Cole is currently entitled to an annual base salary of $225,000, subject to review and adjustment. Mr. Cole is also eligible to participate in Symon’s short-term, performance-based cash incentive plan. Pursuant to this employment agreement, if Mr. Cole’s employment is terminated by Symon without cause or by Mr. Cole for good reason, Mr. Cole is entitled to receive severance payments equal to six months’ base salary. The employment agreement also contains customary covenants barring Mr. Cole from directly or indirectly competing with Symon, soliciting Symon’s customers and soliciting Symon’s employees.

Charles Ansley is currently party to an employment agreement with Symon. Under the terms of this employment agreement, Mr. Ansley is currently entitled to an annual base salary of $350,000. Mr. Ansley is also eligible to participate in Symon’s short-term, performance-based cash incentive plan. If Mr. Ansley’s employment is terminated without cause or in connection with a change of control of Symon, Mr. Ansley is entitled to receive severance equal to six months’ base salary. In addition, Symon, at its expense, will make commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain Mr. Ansley’s medical insurance plan in existence at the time of his termination for Mr. Ansley and his spouse for 18 months. If Mr. Ansley obtains subsequent full-time employment with another firm and he and his spouse qualify for that firm’s medical plan, Symon’s obligation terminates immediately. Mr. Ansley’s employment is contingent upon his agreeing to customary restrictions with respect to the use of Symon’s confidential information. Mr. Ansley has also agreed not to compete with Symon. Mr. Ansley has announced his intention to retire, effective July 12, 2013.

We are currently negotiating the terms of a new employment agreement with Mr. Cole (which may be entered into by us or one of our subsidiaries), which agreement is expected to terminate and replace Mr. Cole’s existing employment agreement with Symon.

Except as described above, we are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Our audit committee, pursuant to our written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he or she is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire on an annual basis that elicits information about related party transactions. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

We issued $75,000 and $100,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on January 28, 2011 and February 9, 2011, respectively. The notes were non-interest bearing and were repaid from the proceeds of our initial public offering. We issued two $100,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on August 15, 2012 and October 11, 2012. These promissory notes were non-interest bearing and were payable upon the consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation. Both of the $100,000 promissory notes were transferred to Gregory H. Sachs on November 18, 2012. We issued $100,000, $360,000, $150,000, $50,000 and $435,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on December 5, 2012, December 21, 2012, January 11, 2013, March 13, 2013 and March 28, 2013, respectively. $400,000 in aggregate principal amount of these promissory notes was subsequently transferred to each of Mr. Sachs and Donald R. Wilson, Jr., a principal stockholder of the Company. These promissory notes were also non-interest bearing and were payable upon our initial business combination or liquidation. On April 8, 2013, we issued to each of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs warrants exercisable for 533,333 shares of our Common Stock upon the conversion of $800,000 in aggregate principal amount of such promissory notes, at a conversion price of $0.75 per warrant, and we repaid the remaining outstanding principal amount of such promissory notes (totaling $295,000 to the Sponsor and $200,000 to Mr. Sachs).

In January 2011, we issued an aggregate of 2,190,477 shares of our common stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash. On April 12, 2011, we effected a 0.8 for one reverse split, the result of which left the Sponsor with 1,752,381 Founder Shares. These Founder Shares included 228,571 shares that were forfeited on June 2, 2011 (as a result of the underwriters not exercising any portion of the overallotment option). 285,714 of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares will be subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor in the event the last sales price of our common stock does not equal or exceed $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period within 24 months following the closing of the RMG acquisition. The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs, DOOH and each other member of the Sponsor have agreed that they will not sell or transfer their shares of our common stock until one year following consummation of the RMG acquisition, subject to earlier release in certain circumstances.

The Sponsor purchased, in a private placement, the 4,000,000 Sponsor Warrants prior to our initial public offering at a price of $0.75 per Warrant (a purchase price of $3,000,000) from us. The Sponsor has agreed that the Sponsor Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days following consummation of RMG acquisition, or May 8, 2013, subject to certain limited exceptions.

We entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, effective as of April 12, 2011, with Sachs Capital Group, LP, an affiliate of the Sponsor, for an estimated aggregate monthly fee of $7,500 for office space, secretarial, and administrative services, with up to an additional $7,500 for our other operating expenses incurred by the sponsor. This agreement expired upon the acquisition of RMG. During the term of the Agreement, the additional $7,500 per month was not paid to Sachs Capital Group LP, and the total amount paid to Sachs Capital Group LP was $179,032.

The Sponsor is entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The Sponsor will be entitled to demand registration rights and certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to its shares of SCG common stock, the Sponsor Warrants and the shares of our common stock underlying the Sponsor Warrants, commencing on the date such shares of common stock or Sponsor Warrants are eligible. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

DRW, an entity ultimately controlled by Donald R. Wilson, Jr., purchased 2,354,450 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of an equity commitment letter and an assignment agreement, and was issued an additional 120,000 shares of our common stock by us as consideration for such purchases.  In May 2012, Mr. Wilson assigned these 120,000 shares to us for cancellation.

On April 8, 2013, we issued to each of Donald R. Wilson, Jr. and Gregory H. Sachs warrants exercisable for 533,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Note Conversion Warrants”). The Note Conversion Warrants were issued upon the conversion by each of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs of a Promissory Note issued by us to the Sponsor in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000, which Promissory Note was subsequently assigned by the Sponsor to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 each. The conversion price of the Promissory Notes was $0.75 per Note Conversion Warrant.

On April 19, 2013, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with DRW pursuant to which DRW purchased 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $10 per share. 

In April 2013, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to the Donald R. Wilson, Jr. 2002 Trust (the “Trust”), pursuant to the terms of a financing commitment entered into between us and the Trust on March 1, 2013, whereby the Trust provided a standby credit facility up to the aggregate amount of (i) our obligations under the Symon Merger Agreement (ii) all out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and other amounts payable by the Company under or in connection with the Symon Merger Agreement with Symon. Such amount was reduced by the aggregate amount of cash available to the Company as of the closing date of the Symon Merger from cash on hand, cash from the sale of shares in the IPO, and net cash proceeds from any alternative debt financing. The fixed rate of interest for the first twelve months was 15% per annum, 5% of which was to be payment-in-kind and added each month to the principal balance. This commitment was not used by us.

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any member of our management team or his or her respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us at that time, based upon other similar arrangements known to us, to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. It is our intention to obtain estimates from unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to ascertain whether such transactions with affiliates are on terms that are no less favorable to us than are otherwise available from such unaffiliated third parties. If a transaction with an affiliated third party were found to be on terms less favorable to us than with an unaffiliated third party, we would not engage in such transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

Our certificate of authorization authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of June 26, 2013, we had 6,285,583 outstanding shares of common stock and outstanding warrants to acquire 13,066,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share that are currently exercisable provided that there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. No shares of our preferred stock are currently outstanding.

Units

We issued an aggregate of 8,000,000 Units in our initial public offering. Each Unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of our common stock. Any securityholder may elect to separate a Unit and trade the common stock and Warrant separately or as a Unit.

Common Stock

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders.  Stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Common stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.

Preferred Stock

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the board. Accordingly, the board is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. No shares of SCG Preferred Stock are currently issued or outstanding.

Warrants

SCG Public Warrants

Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, and are currently exercisable, provided that there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available.

The Warrants issued as part of the Units sold in our initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, or April 8, 2018, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the SCG Public Warrants become exercisable, we may call the Warrants for redemption:


·

in whole and not in part;

·

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

·

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period, to each Warrant holder; and

·

if, and only if, the last sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day before we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.



73





If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder of Warrants that wishes to exercise his, her or its Warrant to do so on a “cashless basis”. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its Warrants for that number of shares of our common stock equal to, but in no case less than $10.00, the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of our common stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of our common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a Warrant redemption. If we call the Warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Sponsor Warrants (as defined below) for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that holders of Public Warrants would have been required to use had all Warrant holders been required to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

The exercise price, the redemption price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the exercise price and number of SCG Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below the Warrant exercise price.

The Public Warrants were issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), and us (the “Warrant Agreement”). The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the Warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Warrants being exercised. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders.

No Public Warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is current and available throughout the 30-day redemption period and our common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrants.

Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we agreed to use our best efforts to file a registration statement covering the shares of our common stock underlying the Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock until the expiration of the Warrants. We are registering the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in order to satisfy this obligation. However, we cannot assure the holders of Warrants that we will be able to do so, and if we do not maintain a current prospectus related to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their Warrants and SCG will not be required to settle any such Warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is not current or if those shares are not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the Warrants reside, we will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the Warrant exercise, the Public Warrants may have no value, the market for the Public Warrants may be limited and the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of common stock, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

Sponsor Warrants

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,000,000 Warrants from us at a price of $0.75 per warrant in a private placement completed on April 12, 2011. In addition, on April 8, 2013, we issued to each of Donald R. Wilson, Jr. and Gregory H. Sachs (our Executive Chairman) Warrants exercisable for 533,333 shares of our common stock. These Warrants were issued upon the conversion by each of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs of a Promissory Note issued by us to the Sponsor and in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000, which Promissory Note was subsequently assigned by the Sponsor to Mr. Wilson and


74





Mr. Sachs in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 each. The conversion price of the Promissory Notes was $0.75 per Warrant. We refer to the Warrants issued to our Sponsor, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs as the Sponsor Warrants. The Sponsor Warrants (including the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants) are not transferable, assignable or salable (other than to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor) until 30 days after the completion of SCG’s initial business combination, which is May 8, 2013, and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Otherwise, the Sponsor Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to the Public Warrants, except that such Sponsor Warrants may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Registration Rights


The holders of the founder shares and our Sponsor Warrants have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated April 12, 2011. These stockholders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these stockholders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the founder shares, upon the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our business combination, the last sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (B) the date on which when we consummate a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after our initial business combination that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the Sponsor Warrants and the common stock underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.


In connection with the consummation of our acquisition of RMG, SCG entered into registration rights agreements with (i) certain former shareholders of RMG and (ii) RMG’s lenders, with respect to the shares of our common stock issued to them in connection with the RMG acquisition. Pursuant to each such registration rights agreement, at any time following the one-year anniversary of the consummation of the RMG acquisition, the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding registrable securities subject to such agreement may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their registrable securities on Form S-3 or any successor form, or if such form is not then available to us, Form S-1.  The holders of a majority of the then-outstanding registrable securities shall be entitled to request (i) one such demand registration in which we shall pay all registration expenses and (ii) an unlimited number of demand registrations in which the holders of registrable securities shall pay their share of the registration expenses. In addition, these stockholders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such “piggy-back” registration statements.


Our lenders under the Junior Credit Agreement we entered into on April 19, 2013 have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them pursuant to an investor rights agreement dated April 19, 2013. Pursuant to the investor rights agreement, the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding registrable securities shall be entitled to request (i) one such demand registration in which we shall pay all registration expenses and (ii) an unlimited number of demand registrations in which the holders of registrable securities shall pay their share of the registration expenses. In addition, these stockholders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such “piggy-back” registration statements.  


DRW Commodities, LLC (“DRW”) has registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of the shares of our common stock purchased by DRW on April 19, 2013, or any other shares of our common stock then held or subsequently acquired by DRW, pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated April 19, 2013. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, DRW shall be entitled to request (i) three such demand registrations in which we shall pay all registration expenses and (ii) an unlimited number of demand registrations in which DRW shall pay its share of the registration expenses. In addition, DRW has “piggy-back” registration rights to include its securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such “piggy-back” registration statements.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:


·

a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

·

an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

·

an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.


A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:


·

the board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

·

The underwriter is offering the shares of common stock subject to its acceptance of the shares of common stock from us and subject to prior sale.  The underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the underwriter to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus is subject to the approval of certain legal matters by its counsel and to certain other conditions.  The underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the shares of common stock if any such shares are taken.  However, the underwriter is not required to take or pay for the shares of common stock covered by the underwriter’s over-allotment option described below.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted the underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of [ ] additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions.  The underwriter may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus.  If the underwriter exercises this option, the underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the additional shares for which the option has been exercised.

Discounts, Commissions and Expenses

The underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $[ ] per share.  The underwriter may allow, and certain dealers may reallow, a discount from the concession not in excess of $[ ] per share to certain brokers and dealers. After this offering, the initial public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be changed by the underwriter. No such change shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The shares of common stock are offered by the underwriter as stated herein, subject to receipt and acceptance by it and subject to its right to reject any order in whole or in part.  The underwriter has informed us that it does not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority.

The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriter by us in connection with this offering.  Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option to purchase additional shares.

We estimate that expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions and non-accountable expense allowance referred to above, will be approximately $500,000.  We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter for its actual accountable out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $125,000 for all expenses, including the fees and expense of its counsel (which $125,000 is included in our estimated expenses of $500,000).


77





Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

Lock-up Agreements

We, our officers, directors and certain of our shareholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, for a period of 90 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock either owned as of the date of the underwriting agreement or thereafter acquired without the prior written consent of the underwriter.  This 90-day period may be extended if (1) during the last 17 days of the 90-day period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event regarding us occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 90-day period, then the period of such extension will be 18 days, beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.  If after any announcement described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, we announce that we will not release earnings results during the 16-day period, the lock-up period shall expire the later of the expiration of the 90-day period and the end of any extension of such period made pursuant to clause (1) of the preceding sentence.  The underwriter may, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the lock-up period, without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

In connection with the offering the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:


·

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

·

Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriter of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that it may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

·

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

·

Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.


These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. Neither we nor the underwriter makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter makes any representations that the underwriter will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.


78





Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, the underwriter and any selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of common stock and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

Listing and Transfer Agent

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trades under the symbol “RMGN.” The transfer agent of our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Electronic Distribution

This prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites or through other online services maintained by the underwriter, or by its affiliates.  Other than this prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the underwriter is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriter in its capacity as underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

Other

From time to time, the underwriter and/or its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for us for which services it has received and, may in the future receive, customary fees.  Except for services provided in connection with this offering, the underwriter has not provided any investment banking or other financial services during the 180-day period preceding the date of this prospectus and we do not expect to retain the underwriter to perform any investment banking or other financial services for at least 90 days after the date of this prospectus.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



Board of Directors and Stockholders

Symon Holdings Corporation

Plano, TX


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Symon Holdings Corporation as of January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Symon Holdings Corporation at January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Description of Business


Symon Holdings Corporation is a holding company which owns 100% of the capital stock of Symon Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Symon).


Symon develops and sells full-service digital signage solutions and enterprise-class media applications. Its products are used by its customers to power more than one million digital signs and end-points that deliver real-time intelligent visual content that enhance the ways in which organizations communicate with employees and customers. Through its suite of products that include proprietary software, software-embedded hardware, maintenance and support services, content services, installation services and third-party displays, Symon offers its customers real-time status management solutions and multi-media employee and customer communications solutions.


The Company’s products are used primarily by Fortune 1,000 companies and international companies. Its customers are located in the United States of America (U.S.), the United Kingdom (U.K.), Continental Europe, and the Middle East and Asia. Symon serves the key cross-industry markets of contact centers, employee communications, and supply chain operations. In addition, Symon also serves the hospitality and gaming markets.  Overall Symon has a large concentration of customers in the financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, utilities, transportation industries, and in federal, state and local governments.


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements of Symon Holdings Corporation include the accounts of Symon Holdings Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Symon Communications, Inc., Symon Communications, Ltd., and Symon Dacon Limited (collectively “the Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash, and cash equivalents include demand deposits in financial institutions and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are comprised of sales made primarily to entities located in the United States of America, EMEA and Asia. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance is reviewed monthly and the Company establishes reserves for doubtful accounts on a case-by-case basis based on historical collection experience and a current review of the collectability of accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $223,458, $336,264 and $539,204 as of January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of and for the periods presented, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable or revenues.


Inventory


Inventory consists primarily of software-embedded smart products, electronic components, computers and computer accessories. Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Writeoffs of slow moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and estimated future usage.


Property and Equipment


The Company records purchases of property and equipment at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.


Goodwill and Intangible Assets


Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a purchase business combination and is tested annually for impairment or tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the asset’s fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying value. Second, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting



F-7



Symon Holdings Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations . The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Completion of the Company’s most recent annual impairment test at January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 indicated that no impairment of its goodwill balances exists.


Intangible assets include software, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and covenants not-to-compete acquired in purchase business combinations. Certain trademarks and trade names have been determined to have an indefinite life and are not amortized. Software, customer relationships, and definite lived trademarks and trade names are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the customer attrition for customer relationships, over their estimated useful lives.  Covenants not-to-compete are amortized over the non-compete period.  


The definite lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment evaluation involves testing the recoverability of the asset on an undiscounted cash-flow basis, and, if the asset is not recoverable, recognizing an impairment charge, if necessary, to reduce the asset's carrying amount to its fair value.  Intangible assets that have indefinite lives are evaluated for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount.  There was no impairment of intangible assets for each of the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.


The Company’s acquired Intangible Assets with definite lives are being amortized as follows:


Acquired Intangible Asset:

 

Amortization Period:

Software

 

5 years

Customer relationships

 

7 to 10 years

Tradenames

 

5 to 10 years

Covenant Not-To-Compete

 

5 years


Impairment of Long-lived Assets


In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment , long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.


There was no impairment of its long-lived assets for each of the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which 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 basis. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes in income the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period that includes the enactment date.


Under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the effect of uncertain tax positions, if any, only if those positions are more likely than not of being realized. It also requires the Company to accrue interest and penalties where there is an underpayment of taxes, based on management’s best estimate of the amount ultimately to be paid, in the same period that the interest would begin accruing or the penalties would first be assessed. The Company maintains accruals for uncertain tax positions until examination of the tax year is completed by the applicable taxing authority, available review periods expire or additional facts and circumstances cause us to change our assessment of the appropriate accrual amount (see Note 5). U.S. income taxes have not been provided on $3.8 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of January 31, 2013. The Company reinvests earnings of foreign subsidiaries in foreign operations and expects that future earnings will also be reinvested in foreign operations indefinitely. The Company has elected to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense if incurred.

Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:


·

Products

·

Professional services

·

Maintenance and content services


The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is probable. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from revenue and cost of revenue.


Multiple-Element Arrangements


Product consists of our hardware equipment and proprietary software. The Company considers the sale of our software more than incidental to the hardware as it is essential to the functionality of the product and is classified as part of our products. The Company enters into multiple-product and services contracts, which may include any combination of equipment and software products, professional services, maintenance and content services.


Prior to February 1, 2011 the Company recognized revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition . Revenue was allocated among the multiple-elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value of the undelivered elements and the application of the residual method for arrangements in which the Company has established VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements.


VSOE of fair value is considered the price a customer would be required to pay if the element was sold separately based on our historical experience of stand-alone sales of these elements to third parties. For maintenance and content services the Company used renewal rates for continued support arrangements to determine fair value. In situations where the Company had fair value of all undelivered elements but not of a delivered element, the Company applied the “residual method”. Under the residual method, if the fair value of the undelivered elements is determinable, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered element(s) and is recognized as revenue assuming the other revenue recognition criteria are met.


On February 1, 2011, the Company adopted an accounting update regarding revenue recognition for multiple arrangements, referred to as multiple element arrangements (MEA’s) and an accounting update for certain revenue arrangements that include tangible products containing essential software on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after February 1, 2011.


MEAs are arrangements with customers which include multiple deliverables, including a combination of equipment and services. The deliverables included in the MEAs are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered equipment has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered service element(s) is probable and substantially in our control. Revenue from arrangements for the sale of tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality requires allocation of the arrangement consideration to the separate deliverables using the relative selling price (RSP) method for each unit of accounting based first on VSOE if it exists, second on third-party evidence (TPE) if it exists, and on estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE or TPE of selling price of our various applicable tangible products containing essential software products and services. The Company establishes the pricing for our units of accounting as follows:


·

VSOE— For certain elements of an arrangement, VSOE is based upon the pricing in comparable transactions when the element is sold separately. The Company determines VSOE based on our pricing and discounting practices for the specific product or service when sold separately, considering geographical, customer, and other economic or marketing variables, as well as renewal rates or standalone prices for the service element(s).



F-9



Symon Holdings Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




·

TPE— If the Company cannot establish VSOE of selling price for a specific product or service included in a multiple-element arrangement, we use third-party evidence of selling price. The Company determines TPE based on sales of comparable amounts of similar products or services offered by multiple third parties considering the degree of customization and similarity of the product or service sold.

·

ESP— The estimated selling price represents the price at which the Company would sell a product or service if it were sold on a stand-alone basis. When VSOE or TPE does not exist for an element, the Company determines ESP for the arrangement element based on sales, cost and margin analysis, as well as other inputs based on its pricing practices. Adjustments for other market and Company-specific factors are made as deemed necessary in determining ESP.


The Company prospectively adopted the new rules and the adoption of the amended revenue recognition rules, consisting primarily of the change from the residual method to the RSP method to allocate the arrangement fee, did not significantly change the timing of revenue recognition nor did it have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to January 31, 2011.


Upon the adoption of the new revenue recognition rules the Company re-evaluated its allocation of revenue and determined that it still had similar units of accounting and nearly all of its products and services qualify as separate units of accounting. The Company has established VSOE for its professional services and maintenance and content services of accounting based on the same criteria as previously used under the software revenue recognition rules.


Previously, the Company rarely sold its product without maintenance and therefore the residual value of the sales arrangement was allocated to the products. The Company now uses the estimated selling price to determine the relative sales price of its products. Revenue for elements that cannot be separated is recognized once the revenue recognition criteria for the entire arrangement has been met or over the period that our last remaining obligation to perform is fulfilled. Consideration for elements that are deemed separable is allocated to the separate elements at the inception of the arrangement on the basis of their relative selling price and recognized based on meeting authoritative criteria.


The Company sells its products and services through its global sales force and through a select group of resellers and business partners. In North America, approximately 90% or more of sales are generated solely by the Company’s sales team, with 10% or less through resellers in 2013. In the United Kingdom, Western Europe, the Middle East and India, the situation is reversed, with around 85% of sales coming from the reseller channel. Overall, approximately 67% of the Company’s global revenues are derived from direct sales, with the remaining 33% generated through indirect partner channels.


The Company has formal contracts with its resellers that set the terms and conditions under which the parties conduct business. The resellers purchase products and services from the Company, generally with agreed-upon discounts, and resell the products and services to their customers, who are the end-users of the products and services. The Company does not offer contractual rights of return other than under standard product warranties and product returns from resellers have be insignificant to date. The Company therefore sells directly to its resellers and recognizes revenue on sales to resellers upon delivery, consistent with its recognition policies as discussed above. The Company bills the resellers directly for the products and services they purchase. Software licenses and product warranties pass directly from the Company to the end-users.


The Company recognizes revenue on sales to resellers consistent with its recognition policies as discussed below.

The Company recognizes revenue on product sales generally upon delivery of the product or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales.


Professional services revenue


Professional services consist primarily of installation and training services. Installation fees are recognized either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the installation which is typically completed within five business days. Such services are readily available from other vendors and are not considered essential to the functionality of the product. Training services are also not considered essential to the functionality of the product and have historically been insignificant; the fee allocable to training is recognized as revenue as the Company performs the services.

Maintenance and content services revenue


Maintenance support consists of hardware maintenance and repair and software support and updates. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support personnel for software and hardware issues. Content services consist of providing customers live and customized news feeds.


Maintenance and content services revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contracts, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer annually. Rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon specified rates as set forth in the arrangement. The Company’s hosting support agreement fees are based on the level of service provided to its customers, which can range from monitoring the health of a customer’s network to supporting a sophisticated web-portal.


Research and Development Costs


Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility of the related software product are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, any additional software development costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed . The Company believes its process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility and, accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized to date.


Advertising


Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense, are expensed as incurred and are not material to the consolidated financial statements.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances in the USA and the UK.  The balances in the USA are not fully FDIC insured.  The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments; the short term debt and the long-term debt’s carrying value approximates its fair value due to the variable market interest rate of the debt.


Net Income per Share


Basic net income per share for each class of participating common stock, excluding any dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock, is computed by dividing net income available to the common stockholders, based upon their distribution rights, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic; however diluted income per share reflects the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. There were no stock options, warrants, or other dilutive equity instruments outstanding at January 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011, respectively. Note 6 provides for additional information regarding income per common share.


Foreign Currency Translation


The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary is the British pound sterling. All assets and all liabilities of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated to U.S. dollars at the weighted-average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Resultant translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Symon Holdings Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



The Company includes currency gains and losses on temporary intercompany advances in the determination of net income. Currency gains and losses, including translation gains and losses and those on temporary intercompany advances were a net gain of $7,861 for the year ended January 31, 2013, net loss of $1,584 for the year ended January 31, 2012 and a net gain of $57,259 for the year ended January 31, 2011. Currency gains and losses are included in interest and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.


Business Segment


The Company has one operating and reporting segment consisting of the development and sale of software solutions, digital appliances and flat screen display installations for using in monitoring and communicating information to customers and employees.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Chief Executive Officer.  The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the single reporting segment level.


The Company primarily sells to customers in the U.S., U.K. Continental Europe, and Middle East, and Asia and has operations in the U.S., U.K., and United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).


Recently Issued Accounting Standards


On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment." This standard simplified the process a company must go through to test goodwill for impairment. Companies have an option to first assess qualitative factors of a reporting unit being tested before having to assess quantitative factors. If a company believes no impairment exists based on qualitative factors, then it will no longer be required to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. The Company tests its $11.0 million of goodwill for impairment as of January 31 each year. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


In June 2011, the FASB issued amended disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in equity. Under the amended guidance, all changes in OCI are to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The Company adopted these changes in 2011 and applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Such adoption did not have material effect on Company’s financial position or results of operations as it related only to changes in financial statement presentation.


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard).” This standard update allows companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not the asset is impaired. The amendments are effective for annual interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The implementation of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.


On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the FASB ASU 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This guidance amended certain fair value measurement concepts in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," including items such as the application of the concept of highest and best use and required certain other disclosure requirements, including among other things, the level of the hierarchy used in the fair value measurement and a description of the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company expects its net operating loss carryforward to be fully utilized as of January 31, 2014. The IRS completed an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the years ended January 31, 2009 and 2010 during 2012. The examination did not result in any material adjustments to the Company’s tax returns.  Subsequent to the examinations and as of January 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions and therefore no accruals have been made.


With respect to state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the United States, the Company and its subsidiaries are typically subject to examination for three to six years after the income tax returns have been filed.

6. Common Stock


The Company has authorized, issued and outstanding 1,000,000 shares of Class L Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share. Each share of Class L Common Stock accrues a quarterly dividend equal to 10% of each share’s unreturned original cost plus unpaid accrued dividends. The accrued dividends are recorded and payable when, as and if declared out of the funds of the Company legally available. At January 31, 2013, no accrued dividends had been declared payable. All holders of Class L Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders.


If and when distributions are declared, the holders of Class L Common Stock are entitled to receive all unpaid dividends and the full amount of their unreturned original cost before distributions are made to any other shareholder. After the holders of Class L Common Stock have received all unpaid dividends and their unreturned original cost, all holders of Common Stock as a group shall be entitled to receive the remaining portion of such distribution ratably among such holders based upon the number of all common shares held by each shareholder at the time of such distribution. As a result of the above provisions, the holders of Class L Common Stock would be allocated $10.1 million, $8.3 million and $6.6 million of unaccrued dividends as of January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in the event of a distribution in addition to the unreturned cost of $10.0 million.


The Company has authorized 200,000 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share, with 68,889 shares issued and outstanding. The Company has sold 68,889 shares of the Class A Non-Voting Stock to certain executives at a price of $2.3274 per share. The Class A Non-Voting shares are restricted and all 68,889 shares outstanding were vested as of January 31, 2012. In return for the shares, the executives delivered promissory notes in the aggregate initial principal amount of $258,600. In the event of default, the notes provide recourse to the general assets of the executives and management intends to enforce this provision if needed. The outstanding principal amount of the notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, is due on the eighth anniversary of the date of issuance. The notes receivable associated with these restricted stock certificates are reflected as a component of stockholders’ equity. The owners of the Class A Non-Voting Common Stock do not have voting rights, directly or indirectly, and do not currently have any distributions allocated to them as a result of the dividend provisions associated with the Class L Common Stock as described above. During 2012, the Company authorized the repurchase of 27,811 Class A common shares in the amount of $64,648. In conjunction with the repurchase, promissory notes with a value of $76,236 were cancelled.


The Company has also authorized 200,000 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share. All holders of the Class A Voting Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders. No shares of Class A Voting Stock were issued or outstanding at January 31, 2013.


The Company has a capital structure that includes more than one class of common stock with differing dividend rates that participate in dividends with common shareholders and therefore the “two-class” method of computing net income per share must be utilized.  The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.


7. Commitments and Contingencies


Lease Obligations - The Company leases office space and manufacturing facilities in Dallas, Texas under long-term lease agreements that expire in March 2014 and March 2013, respectively. The Company also leases office space in Pittsford, New York under a lease agreement that expires in December 2013, and in Las Vegas, Nevada under a lease agreement that expired in January 2013.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Description of Business


Symon Holdings Corporation is a holding company which owns 100% of the capital stock of Symon Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Symon).


Symon develops and sells full-service digital signage solutions and enterprise-class media applications. Its products are used by its customers to power more than one million digital signs and end-points that deliver real-time intelligent visual content that enhance the ways in which organizations communicate with employees and customers. Through its suite of products that include proprietary software, software-embedded hardware, maintenance and support services, content services, installation services and third-party displays, Symon offers its customers real-time status management solutions and multi-media employee and customer communications solutions.


The Company’s products are used primarily by Fortune 1,000 companies and international companies. Its customers are located in the United States of America (U.S.), the United Kingdom (U.K.), Continental Europe, and the Middle East and Asia. Symon serves the key cross-industry markets of contact centers, employee communications, and supply chain operations. In addition, Symon also serves the hospitality and gaming markets.  Overall Symon has a large concentration of customers in the financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, utilities, transportation industries, and in federal, state and local governments.


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements of Symon Holdings Corporation include the accounts of Symon Holdings Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Symon Communications, Inc., Symon Communications, Ltd., and Symon Dacon Limited (collectively “the Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Basis of Presentation for Interim Financial Statements


The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP“) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and the notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The January 31, 2013 balance sheet amounts were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from February 1, 2013 to April 19, 2013 reflect all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the reported interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The results of operations from February 1, 2013 to April 19, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the Prospectus that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and therefore notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus have been omitted.


There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to affect the Company’s financial reporting.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash, and cash equivalents include demand deposits in financial institutions and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are comprised of sales made primarily to entities located in the United States of America, EMEA and Asia. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance is reviewed monthly and the Company establishes reserves for doubtful accounts on a case-by-case basis based on historical collection experience and a current review of the collectability of accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $211,455 and $223,458 as of April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. As of and for the periods presented, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable or revenues.


F-22





Inventory


Inventory consists primarily of software-embedded smart products, electronic components, computers and computer accessories. Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Writeoffs of slow moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and estimated future usage.


Property and Equipment


The Company records purchases of property and equipment at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.


Goodwill and Intangible Assets


Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a purchase business combination and is tested at year end for impairment or tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the asset’s fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying value. Second, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations . The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Completion of the Company’s most recent annual impairment test at April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013 indicated that no impairment of its goodwill balances exists.


Intangible assets include software, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and covenants not-to-compete acquired in purchase business combinations. Certain trademarks and trade names have been determined to have an indefinite life and are not amortized. Software, customer relationships, and definite lived trademarks and trade names are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the customer attrition for customer relationships, over their estimated useful lives.  Covenants not-to-compete are amortized over the non-compete period.  


The definite lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment evaluation involves testing the recoverability of the asset on an undiscounted cash-flow basis, and, if the asset is not recoverable, recognizing an impairment charge, if necessary, to reduce the asset's carrying amount to its fair value.  Intangible assets that have indefinite lives are evaluated for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount.  There was no impairment of intangible assets at April 19, 2013 or at January 31, 2013.


The Company’s acquired Intangible Assets with definite lives are being amortized as follows:


Acquired Intangible Asset:

 

Amortization Period:

Software

 

5 years

Customer relationships

 

7 to 10 years

Tradenames

 

5 to 10 years

Covenant Not-To-Compete

 

5 years


Impairment of Long-lived Assets


In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment , long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.


There was no impairment of its long-lived assets at April 19, 2013 or at January 31, 2013.


F-23




Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which 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 basis. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes in income the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period that includes the enactment date.


Under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the effect of uncertain tax positions, if any, only if those positions are more likely than not of being realized. It also requires the Company to accrue interest and penalties where there is an underpayment of taxes, based on management’s best estimate of the amount ultimately to be paid, in the same period that the interest would begin accruing or the penalties would first be assessed. The Company maintains accruals for uncertain tax positions until examination of the tax year is completed by the applicable taxing authority, available review periods expire or additional facts and circumstances cause us to change our assessment of the appropriate accrual amount (see Note 5). U.S. income taxes have not been provided on $3.9 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of April 19, 2013. The Company reinvests earnings of foreign subsidiaries in foreign operations and expects that future earnings will also be reinvested in foreign operations indefinitely. The Company has elected to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense if incurred.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:


·

Products

·

Professional services

·

Maintenance and content services


The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from revenue and cost of revenue.


Multiple-Element Arrangements


Product consists of our hardware equipment and proprietary software. The Company considers the sale of our software more than incidental to the hardware as it is essential to the functionality of the product and is classified as part of our products. The Company enters into multiple-product and services contracts, which may include any combination of equipment and software products, professional services, maintenance and content services.


Prior to February 1, 2011 the Company recognized revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition . Revenue was allocated among the multiple-elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value of the undelivered elements and the application of the residual method for arrangements in which the Company has established VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements.


VSOE of fair value is considered the price a customer would be required to pay if the element was sold separately based on our historical experience of stand-alone sales of these elements to third parties. For maintenance and content services the Company used renewal rates for continued support arrangements to determine fair value. In situations where the Company had fair value of all undelivered elements but not of a delivered element, the Company applied the “residual method”. Under the residual method, if the fair value of the undelivered elements is determinable, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered element(s) and is recognized as revenue assuming the other revenue recognition criteria are met.


F-24




On February 1, 2011, the Company adopted an accounting update regarding revenue recognition for multiple arrangements, referred to as multiple element arrangements (MEA’s) and an accounting update for certain revenue arrangements that include tangible products containing essential software on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after February 1, 2011.


MEAs are arrangements with customers which include multiple deliverables, including a combination of equipment and services. The deliverables included in the MEAs are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered equipment has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered service element(s) is probable and substantially in our control. Revenue from arrangements for the sale of tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality requires allocation of the arrangement consideration to the separate deliverables using the relative selling price (RSP) method for each unit of accounting based first on VSOE if it exists, second on third-party evidence (TPE) if it exists, and on estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE or TPE of selling price of our various applicable tangible products containing essential software products and services. The Company establishes the pricing for our units of accounting as follows:


·

VSOE— For certain elements of an arrangement, VSOE is based upon the pricing in comparable transactions when the element is sold separately. The Company determines VSOE based on our pricing and discounting practices for the specific product or service when sold separately, considering geographical, customer, and other economic or marketing variables, as well as renewal rates or standalone prices for the service element(s).

·

TPE— If the Company cannot establish VSOE of selling price for a specific product or service included in a multiple-element arrangement, we use third-party evidence of selling price. The Company determines TPE based on sales of comparable amounts of similar products or services offered by multiple third parties considering the degree of customization and similarity of the product or service sold.

·

ESP— The estimated selling price represents the price at which the Company would sell a product or service if it were sold on a stand-alone basis. When VSOE or TPE does not exist for an element, the Company determines ESP for the arrangement element based on sales, cost and margin analysis, as well as other inputs based on its pricing practices. Adjustments for other market and Company-specific factors are made as deemed necessary in determining ESP.


The Company prospectively adopted the new rules and the adoption of the amended revenue recognition rules, consisting primarily of the change from the residual method to the RSP method to allocate the arrangement fee, did not significantly change the timing of revenue recognition nor did it have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to January 31, 2011.


Upon the adoption of the new revenue recognition rules the Company re-evaluated its allocation of revenue and determined that it still had similar units of accounting and nearly all of its products and services qualify as separate units of accounting. The Company has established VSOE for its professional services and maintenance and content services of accounting based on the same criteria as previously used under the software revenue recognition rules.


Previously, the Company rarely sold its product without maintenance and therefore the residual value of the sales arrangement was allocated to the products. The Company now uses the estimated selling price to determine the relative sales price of its products. Revenue for elements that cannot be separated is recognized once the revenue recognition criteria for the entire arrangement has been met or over the period that our last remaining obligation to perform is fulfilled. Consideration for elements that are deemed separable is allocated to the separate elements at the inception of the arrangement on the basis of their relative selling price and recognized based on meeting authoritative criteria.


The Company sells its products and services through its global sales force and through a select group of resellers and business partners. In North America, approximately 90% or more of sales are generated solely by the Company’s sales team, with 10% or less through resellers in 2013. In the United Kingdom, Western Europe, the Middle East and India, the situation is reversed, with around 85% of sales coming from the reseller channel. Overall, approximately 67% of the Company’s global revenues are derived from direct sales, with the remaining 33% generated through indirect partner channels.


The Company has formal contracts with its resellers that set the terms and conditions under which the parties conduct business. The resellers purchase products and services from the Company, generally with agreed-upon discounts, and resell the products and services to their customers, who are the end-users of the products and services. The Company does not offer contractual rights of return other than under standard product warranties and product returns from resellers have be insignificant to date. The Company therefore sells directly to its resellers and recognizes revenue on sales to resellers upon delivery, consistent with its recognition policies as discussed above. The Company bills the resellers directly for the products and services they purchase. Software licenses and product warranties pass directly from the Company to the end-users.


F-25




The Company recognizes revenue on sales to resellers consistent with its recognition policies as discussed below.


Product revenue


The Company recognizes revenue on product sales generally upon delivery of the product or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in revenue and the related shipping costs are included in cost of revenue.


Professional services revenue


Professional services consist primarily of installation and training services. Installation fees are recognized either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the installation which is typically completed within five business days. Such services are readily available from other vendors and are not considered essential to the functionality of the product. Training services are also not considered essential to the functionality of the product and have historically been insignificant; the fee allocable to training is recognized as revenue as the Company performs the services.


Maintenance and content services revenue


Maintenance support consists of hardware maintenance and repair and software support and updates. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support personnel for software and hardware issues. Content services consist of providing customers live and customized news feeds.


Maintenance and content services revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contracts, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer annually. Rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon specified rates as set forth in the arrangement. The Company’s hosting support agreement fees are based on the level of service provided to its customers, which can range from monitoring the health of a customer’s network to supporting a sophisticated web-portal.


Research and Development Costs


Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility of the related software product are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, any additional software development costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed . The Company believes its process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility and, accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized to date.


Advertising


Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense, are expensed as incurred and are not material to the consolidated financial statements.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances in the USA and the UK.  The balances in the USA are not fully FDIC insured.  The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments; the short term debt and the long-term debt’s carrying value approximates its fair value due to the variable market interest rate of the debt.


F-26




Net Income (loss) per Share


Basic net income (loss) per share for each class of participating common stock, excluding any dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock, is computed by dividing net income available to the common stockholders, based upon their distribution rights, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic; however diluted income (loss) per share reflects the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. There were no stock options, warrants, or other dilutive equity instruments outstanding at April 19, 2013 or January 31, 2013. Note 6 provides for additional information regarding income (loss) per common share.


Foreign Currency Translation


The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary is the British pound sterling. All assets and all liabilities of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated to U.S. dollars at the weighted-average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Resultant translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.


The Company includes currency gains and losses on temporary intercompany advances in the determination of net income. Currency gains and losses, including translation gains and losses and those on temporary intercompany advances were a net loss of $34,444 for the period ended April 19, 2013 and a net gain of $6,403 for the three months ended April 30, 2012. Currency gains and losses are included in interest and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.


Business Segment


The Company has one operating and reporting segment consisting of the development and sale of software solutions, digital appliances and flat screen display installations for using in monitoring and communicating information to customers and employees.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Chief Executive Officer.  The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the single reporting segment level.


The Company primarily sells to customers in the U.S., U.K. Continental Europe, and Middle East, and Asia and has operations in the U.S., U.K., and United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).


Recently Issued Accounting Standards


On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment." This standard simplified the process a company must go through to test goodwill for impairment. Companies have an option to first assess qualitative factors of a reporting unit being tested before having to assess quantitative factors. If a company believes no impairment exists based on qualitative factors, then it will no longer be required to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. The Company tests its $11.0 million of goodwill for impairment as of January 31 each year. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


In June 2011, the FASB issued amended disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in equity. Under the amended guidance, all changes in OCI are to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The Company adopted these changes in 2011 and applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Such adoption did not have material effect on Company’s financial position or results of operations as it related only to changes in financial statement presentation.


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard).” This standard update allows companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not the asset is impaired. The amendments are effective for annual interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The implementation of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.


F-27




On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the FASB ASU 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This guidance amended certain fair value measurement concepts in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," including items such as the application of the concept of highest and best use and required certain other disclosure requirements, including among other things, the level of the hierarchy used in the fair value measurement and a description of the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s net operating loss carryforward was fully utilized as of April 19, 2013. The IRS completed an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the years ended January 31, 2009 and 2010 during 2012. The examination did not result in any material adjustments to the Company’s tax returns.  Subsequent to the examinations and as of April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013, the Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions and therefore no accruals have been made.


With respect to state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the United States, the Company and its subsidiaries are typically subject to examination for three to six years after the income tax returns have been filed.


6. Common Stock


The Company has authorized, issued and outstanding 1,000,000 shares of Class L Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share. Each share of Class L Common Stock accrues a quarterly dividend equal to 10% of each share’s unreturned original cost plus unpaid accrued dividends. The accrued dividends are recorded and payable when, as and if declared out of the funds of the Company legally available. At April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013, no accrued dividends had been declared payable. All holders of Class L Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders.


If and when distributions are declared, the holders of Class L Common Stock are entitled to receive all unpaid dividends and the full amount of their unreturned original cost before distributions are made to any other shareholder. After the holders of Class L Common Stock have received all unpaid dividends and their unreturned original cost, all holders of Common Stock as a group shall be entitled to receive the remaining portion of such distribution ratably among such holders based upon the number of all common shares held by each shareholder at the time of such distribution. As a result of the above provisions, the holders of Class L Common Stock would be allocated $11.0 million and $10.6 million of unaccrued dividends as of April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively, in the event of a distribution in addition to the unreturned cost of $10.0 million.


The Company has authorized 200,000 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share, with 68,889 shares issued and outstanding. The Company has sold 68,889 shares of the Class A Non-Voting Stock to certain executives at a price of $2.3274 per share. The Class A Non-Voting shares are restricted and all 68,889 shares outstanding were vested as of both April 19, 2013 and January 31, 2013. In return for the shares, the executives delivered promissory notes in the aggregate initial principal amount of $258,600. In the event of default, the notes provide recourse to the general assets of the executives and management intends to enforce this provision if needed. The outstanding principal amount of the notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, is due on the eighth anniversary of the date of issuance. The notes receivable associated with these restricted stock certificates are reflected as a component of stockholders’ equity. The owners of the Class A Non-Voting Common Stock do not have voting rights, directly or indirectly, and do not currently have any distributions allocated to them as a result of the dividend provisions associated with the Class L Common Stock as described above. During 2012, the Company authorized the repurchase of 27,811 Class A common shares in the amount of $64,648. In conjunction with the repurchase, promissory notes with a value of $76,236 were cancelled.


The Company has also authorized 200,000 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share. All holders of the Class A Voting Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders. No shares of Class A Voting Stock were issued or outstanding at April 19, 2013 or January 31, 2013.


F-30




The Company has a capital structure that includes more than one class of common stock with differing dividend rates that participate in dividends with common shareholders and therefore the “two-class” method of computing net income per share must be utilized.  The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.


7. Commitments and Contingencies


Lease Obligations - The Company leases office space and manufacturing facilities in Dallas, Texas under long-term lease agreements that expire in March 2014. The Company also leases office space in Pittsford, New York under a lease agreement that expires in December 2013, and in Las Vegas, Nevada under a lease agreement that expires in January 2014.


In addition, the Company leases office space in London, England under a lease agreement that expires in August 2016 and in Dubai, UAE under a lease agreement that expires in July 2013. Future minimum rental payments under these leases are as follows:

Total rent expense under all operating leases for the period ended April 19, 2013 and the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $209,268 and $222,276, respectively.


Contingent Purchase Price - In connection with past acquisitions, the Company was required to make additional cash payments to the previous shareholders of the companies because future minimum sales levels were attained and certain other conditions were met. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012, the Company made such contingent payments totaling $99,723.  All of these contingent payments were recorded as adjustments to goodwill as the acquisitions occurred prior to the adoption of ASC 850, Business Combinations . The Company has no remaining obligations to make additional cash payments to the previous shareholders of the companies it has acquired.


Legal Proceedings - The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Management is not aware of any claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



8. Related Party Transactions


The Company incurs an annual management fee of $125,000 from Golden Gate Capital, the Company’s majority shareholder. This management fee expense is included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors’

Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (dba RMG Networks, Inc.)

San Francisco, California



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (dba RMG Networks, Inc.)  as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (dba RMG Networks, Inc.) as of December 31, 2012 and the results of their operations and  cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, a working capital deficit and a need for new capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements



 

1.

Nature of Business and Management’s Plans Regarding the Financing of Future Operations


Nature of Business


RMG Networks, Inc. (RMG) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2005 under the name Danouv, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to RMG Networks, Inc. in September 2009.  In April 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Executive Media Network Worldwide and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Corporate Image Media, Inc. and Prophet Media, LLC, (collectively EMN) (Note 6) RMG established Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (the Company), which was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 11, 2011 (closing date).  As of the closing date, the Company and RMG Networks, Inc. merged, with RMG Networks, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


Headquartered in San Francisco, California, RMG was founded as a media network of screens in coffee shops and eateries. The acquisition of EMN in 2011 provided RMG with airline partner relationships and contracts that allowed it to evolve into a global digital signage company that now operates the RMG Airline Media Network, a U.S.-based air travel media network covering digital media assets in airline executive clubs, in-flight entertainment systems, in-flight Wi-Fi portals and private airport terminals. The Company’s platform delivers premium video content and information to high value consumer audiences. RMG’s digital signage solutions group builds and operates digital place-based networks and offers a range of innovative digital signage software, hardware and services to small and medium businesses and enterprise customers.


Management’s Plans Regarding the Financing of Future Operations


The Company has incurred net losses and net cash outflows from operations since inception.  In April 2011, the Company borrowed $25,000,000 under a credit agreement with an investment company, and used the majority of the funds to acquire EMN under an agreement and plan of merger (Note 6).  The Company is in violation of a loan covenant that allows the lender to demand immediate repayment of the debt (Note 5).


In January 2013, the Company signed an agreement to merge with a public company (Note 13). If the merger is consummated, the Company will become a subsidiary of the public company, at which time the existing borrowings under the credit agreement described above are scheduled to be extinguished.


Should the merger not be consummated, the Company intends to work with the lender to negotiate more favorable loan terms. If more favorable terms cannot be obtained, additional debt or equity financing will be required.  If additional future financing is required, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms that will be acceptable to the Company or at all.


2.

Significant Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation:


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Danoo (Beijing) Technologies, Ltd. (name formally changed to RMG China, Ltd. in 2012), a foreign operating entity; RMG Networks, Inc.; EMN Acquisition Corporation; Executive Media Network, Inc.; Prophet Media, LLC; and Corporate Image Media, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Foreign Currency Transactions:


The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries.  Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations.  The Company transfers U.S. dollars to China to fund operating expenses.  Should RMG China generate operating net income in Chinese currency, the People’s Republic of China would impose restrictions over the transfer of funds to the U.S.


Acquisition Accounting:


In March 2010, the Company acquired certain assets formerly belonging to Pharmacy TV Networks, LLC (PTV).  In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded all acquired assets of PTV at fair value, resulting in a new accounting basis for the acquired assets, including the recording of goodwill (Note 6).  As of December 31, 2012, all assets related to PTV, including goodwill, were written off after the network was abandoned in early 2011 to focus on core airline and airline lounge network assets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Acquisition Accounting: (continued)


In April 2011, the Company acquired EMN.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded all assets of EMN at fair value.  The Company performed a purchase price allocation resulting in a new accounting basis for the purchased assets, including the recording of intangible assets and goodwill (Note 6).


Revenue Recognition:


The Company sells advertising through agencies and directly to a variety of customers under contracts ranging from one month to one year. Contracts usually specify the network placement, the expected number of impressions (determined by passenger or visitor counts) and the cost per thousand impressions (“CPM”) over the contract period to arrive at a contract amount. RMG bills for these advertising services as requested by the customer, generally on a monthly basis following delivery of the contracted number of impressions for the particular ad insertion. Revenue is recognized at the end of the month in which fulfillment of the advertising order occurred. Although the Company typically presents invoices to an advertising agency, collection is reasonably assured based upon the customer placing the order.


Under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-45 Principal Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent) the Company has recorded its advertising revenues on a gross basis.


Payments to airline and other partners for revenue sharing are paid on a monthly basis either under a minimum annual guarantee (based upon estimated advertising revenues), or as a percentage of the advertising revenues following collection from customers. The portion of revenue that RMG shares with its partners ranges from 25% to 80% depending on the partner and the media asset. RMG makes minimum annual guarantee payments under four agreements (three to airline partners and one to another travel partner). Payments to all other partners are calculated on a revenue sharing basis. RMG’s partnership agreements have terms ranging from one to five years. Four partnership agreements renew automatically unless terminated prior to renewal and the remainder have no obligation to renew.


The Company also recognizes revenue from professional services for development of software and sale of software license agreements.  Professional service revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the contract and represents the revenue from one base contract and ancillary agreements for 2012 and 2011.  Software license revenue is recognized after persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.  In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products, support and/or other services, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value.  If vendor-specific objective evidence for the undelivered elements cannot be ascertained, and the arrangement cannot be unbundled, then revenue is deferred until the delivery of the undelivered elements or, if the only undelivered element is customer support, recognized ratably over the service period.


Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2011 relates to a software service contract with a customer for which revenue was recognized ratably under the terms of the agreement. This contract was completed in 2012.


Cash and Cash Equivalents:


Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments purchased with remaining maturities of three months or less.  Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market accounts.


Restricted Cash:


Restricted cash related to funds held to guarantee the Company’s corporate credit cards and as guarantees required under lease agreements for two of the Company’s office facilities.  Restriction requirements continue through the term of the leases, which expire in 2015 and 2020, respectively.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Business Concentrations:


For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had two major customers: Customers A and B each represented approximately 16% of revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had four major customers:  Customers A, B, C and D represented 13%, 13%, 11% and 11%, respectively, (48% total) of annual revenues.  The Company had accounts receivable of $1,009,000 and $913,240 ($1,922,240 total) from Customers A and B, respectively, at December 31, 2012 and had accounts receivable of $581,000 and $18,000 ($599,000 total) from Customers B and C, respectively, as of December 31, 2011.


Concentration of Credit Risk:


Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable.


The Company does not require collateral or other security for accounts receivable.  However, credit risk is mitigated by the Company’s ongoing evaluations of customer creditworthiness.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable balances.  The allowance 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 delinquent accounts on a customer by customer basis. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off. Such credit losses have been within management’s expectations.   


The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in the United States with two financial institutions.  These balances routinely exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit.  Cash and cash equivalents of $150,000 and $86,000 held in a foreign country as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were not insured.


Property and Equipment:


Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  The Company depreciates property and equipment using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the remaining lease term.


Capitalized Software Development Costs:


The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of internal use software after such a time as it is considered probable the software will be completed and will be used to perform the function intended.  The Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing and obtaining internal-use computer software, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to developing the internal-use software.  The Company capitalized software development costs of $115,401 in October 2011.  Capitalized costs are not amortized until each development project is completed and new functionality has been implemented.  The Company recognized amortization expense of $23,080 and $5,754 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  


Other Assets:


Other assets consist of deposits related to leases for office facilities.


Intangible Assets:


Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization.  Amortization of intangibles with finite lives is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of two to seven years. Intangible assets consist of customer and vendor relationships, trademarks, domain names, non-compete agreements and acquired technology resulting from acquisitions (Notes 4 and 6), and internally developed software.


Intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that of the reporting unit is impaired.  Intangible assets subject to amortization are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset group’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Intangible Assets: (continued)


An impairment loss for an intangible asset subject to amortization is recognized only if the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group).  The Company recognized an impairment charge of $2,295,433 for intangible assets related to the IdeaCast, Inc. acquisition in the year ended December 31, 2012 (none in the year ended December 31, 2011). (See Note 6).


Goodwill:


Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to a review for impairment.  The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.  The Company tests goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill.


The Company recognized an impairment charge of $619,987 and $637,138in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, due to the underperformance of certain network units within the Company.


Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:


The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured to be the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying cost amount or the fair value less the cost to sell.  


Advertising and Promotion Costs:


The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred.  Advertising and promotion expense was $19,000 and $96,000 for the years ended December 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included in sales and marketing expense.


Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock-based compensation for options or warrants granted to non-employees is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.  Compensation expense for options granted to non-employees is periodically re-measured as the underlying options vest.


Research and Development:


The Company expenses research and development expenditures as incurred.


Deferred Revenue:


Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from professional service agreements described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met.  The Company generally invoices the customer in annual installments.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Income Taxes:


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future income tax effects of differences between the amounts at which assets and liabilities are recorded for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recorded for income tax purposes.  Deferred income taxes are classified as current or non-current, based on the classifications of the related assets and liabilities giving rise to the temporary differences.  A valuation allowance is provided against the Company’s deferred income tax assets when their realization is not reasonably assured.


Use of Estimates:


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


Segment Information:


Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by a company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO)) in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.  The Company’s business is conducted in a single operating segment.  The CEO reviews a single set of financial data that encompasses the Company’s entire operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.  The CEO manages the business based primarily on broad functional categories of sales, marketing and technology development and strategy.


Reclassifications:


Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The reclassifications did not impact previously reported net loss or stockholders’ deficit.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: (continued)


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02 , Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment .  The amendments in this ASU will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired.  The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  ASU 2012-2 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.  The Company adopted ASU 2012-02 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.


In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.  ASU 2012-12 defers only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  The paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-12 supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (June 2011).  ASU 2011-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is effective for nonpublic entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.  The Company adopted ASU 2011-12 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11.   Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position.  This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update.  The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented.  The Company expects that this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment .  The amendments in this ASU allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.  Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.   For public entities, ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  For nonpublic entities, ASU 2011-5 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.  See ASU 2011-12 above for amendments to the effective date.  The Company has adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASC 2011-04).  The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of FASB ASC Topic 820 (ASC 820), but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This Update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Auditing Standards Board.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively.  For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company has adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings


Notes Payable:


In March 2007, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the Agreement) with a financial institution, for a term loan facility of $2,000,000.  The Company borrowed $1,000,000 under the Agreement in June 2007 and the remaining $1,000,000 in September 2007.  Borrowings under the Agreement included interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum and were secured by the assets of the Company.  In August 2008, the Agreement was amended to increase the available borrowings under the Agreement to $4,000,000.  The additional $2,000,000 was borrowed in December 2009, and included interest at the rate of 7% per annum.  In April 2011, the Company fully repaid the remaining outstanding borrowings under the Agreement.  As such, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Agreement at December 31, 2012 or 2011.  


In August 2008 and December 2009, in connection with amendments to the Agreement, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 52,059 and 34,706 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (Series B) at $1.7288 per share (Note 9), respectively.  The warrants were valued at $22,606 and $14,584, respectively, calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The fair value allocated to the warrants resulted in a discount to the notes payable that was amortized to interest expense over the repayment term of the notes payable.  The debt discount was fully amortized in the year ended December 31, 2011.  The warrants remain outstanding at December 31, 2012 (Note 9).

Borrowings (continued)


Notes Payable: (continued)


In April 2011, the Company entered into a $50,000,000 credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with an investment institution.  The Company borrowed $25,000,000 upon the closing of the Credit Agreement and used the majority of these proceeds to acquire EMN (Note 6) and repay the outstanding balance under the former Agreement.  Additional drawdowns of $1,594,273 occurred in 2012.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the rate of 14% per annum, and the Company has the option to pre-pay a portion of the interest quarterly as stipulated under the terms of the Credit Agreement.  All unpaid interest is applied to the principal.  The Credit Agreement, which is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, matures in April 2015, at which time all outstanding principal and interest will be due.  Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $32,554,356 and $26,768,944, respectively, which includes $5,960,083 and $1,768,944 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in interest applied to the principal.  


The Credit Agreement is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is a performance to plan test with respect to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined. The Company’s ability to borrow under this Credit Agreement has been suspended in 2012 due to non-compliance with this covenant.  The investor may present a demand for repayment but has not to date. In the event that the investor would present a demand for repayment, any unamortized discount would be charged to expense in the same period as the demand. The Company has accordingly reclassified the note payable balance as a current liability as of December 31, 2012.  In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pay a $750,000 facility fee, which was withheld from the $25,000,000 borrowed.  This facility fee was recognized as a discount to the notes payable and is being amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the Credit Agreement.  The amounts amortized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $187,500 and $135,616, respectively.  The unamortized discount related to the facility fee as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $426,884 and $614,384, respectively.


In April 2011, in connection with the issuance of the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants for the purchase 3,880,044 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (Series A), 4,227,584 shares of Series B, 2,423,152 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock (Series C), and 12,257,897 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share (Note 9).  The fair value of $645,243, $1,764,449, $780,947 and $2,912,458, respectively, was recorded as a discount to the notes payable and additional paid-in capital and is being amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the Credit Agreement.  The amount amortized was $1,525,774 and $1,103,574 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The unamortized discount related to the warrants as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3,473,749 and $4,999,523, respectively.  The warrants remain outstanding as of December 31, 2012.


Line of Credit:


In November 2010, the Agreement was amended to provide a credit facility against eligible accounts receivable.  The credit facility availability was based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable up to $4,000,000.  In 2011, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company amended the credit facility under the Agreement to increase the available borrowings up to $9,375,000, based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable.  Borrowings under the credit facility bore interest at the greater of 7.25% per annum or prime plus 3.25% (7.25% at December 31, 2011). The credit facility expires in April 2013, but was effectively terminated in June 2012, at which time the financial institution ceased to accept additional borrowing by the Company.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Agreement.  The Company had outstanding borrowings of $1,399,723 as of December 31, 2011.

In March 2010, the Company purchased certain assets formerly belonging to PTV under an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA).


The aggregate purchase price of $680,538 was paid in the form of 837,333 shares of common stock of the Company upon closing of the acquisition and 1,164,250 shares of common stock in connection with earn-outs, as defined in the APA.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into two consulting agreements to assist in the integration, which require monthly payments of $5,000 each.  In 2010, the Company paid $35,000 in connection with these consulting agreements.  The consulting agreements were terminated in May 2010.

Acquisitions (continued)


Executive Media Network Worldwide: (continued)


The acquisition of EMN was consummated as a legal matter on April 11, 2011.  However, the results of EMN’s operations were included in RMG’s consolidated results beginning on April 1, 2011, resulting in a full nine months of financial operating results of EMN within the RMG consolidated results. The revenues and expenses of EMN for the ten days from April 1, 2011 through April 10, 2011 were immaterial to the overall financial statements of RMG for the year ended December 31, 2011. If EMN had been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the entire year ended December 31, 2011, rather than for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, RMG estimates that its revenue would increased by $1,906,000 and the loss for the year 2011 would have increased by $1,693,000.

Commitments and Contingencies


Lease Commitments:


The Company leases its office facilities in San Francisco, New York, and Chicago under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through September 2020.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $1,015,000 and $741,000, respectively, as rent expense (which includes amounts related to lease impairments).


In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company entered into capital lease agreements with leasing companies for the financing of equipment and furniture purchases.  Under the lease agreements, the Company financed equipment purchases of $199,847 and $72,847 in the years 2012 and 2011, respectively).  The capital lease payments expire at various dates through June 2017.

The Company is currently subleasing two facilities and receiving monthly payments which are less than the Company’s monthly lease obligations.  Based upon the then current real estate market conditions, the Company believed that these leases had been impaired and accrued $305,000 and $9,508 of lease impairment for the years 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The impairment charges were calculated based on future lease commitments less estimated future sublease income.  The leases expire in February 28, 2021 and July 31, 2013, respectively.


Revenue Share Commitments:


From 2006 through 2012, the Company entered into revenue sharing agreements with four customers, requiring the Company to make minimum yearly revenue sharing payments.

Contingencies:


The Company sold two media networks and all related assets in 2012. Although existing network commitments were assigned to the new buyers as a result of these transactions, there were certain vendor/partners that did not formally accept the assignments and resolve balances due under existing contracts.  Although the Company has accrued for commitments through the sale dates, there remains uncertainty as to the status of the Company’s obligations under these contracts.  In the opinion of management, any liabilities resulting from these uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company recorded an increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance of $83,816 and ($315,000) in the years 2012 and 2011, respectively.


The Company has federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2012 of $34,266,000 and $32,655,000, respectively, both of which expire beginning in 2025  Additionally, at December 31, 2012, the Company had federal and state research and development tax credits totaling $76,000 and $80,000, respectively.  The federal tax credits may be carried forward until 2025.  The state tax credits may be carried forward indefinitely.


Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the use of net operating loss and income tax credit carry-forwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company.  If the Company should have an ownership change of more than 50% of the value of the Company’s capital stock, utilization of the carry-forwards could be restricted.


The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state jurisdictions and for its subsidiary in China.  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable.  The tax return years 2007 through 2012 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.


The Company has adopted the provisions set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, to account for uncertainty in income taxes.  In the preparation of income tax returns in federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, the Company asserts certain tax positions based on its understanding and interpretation of the income tax law.  The taxing authorities may challenge such positions, and the resolution of such matters could result in recognition of income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns.


The Company uses the “more likely than not” criterion for recognizing the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and to establish measurement criteria for income tax benefits.  The Company has determined it has no material unrecognized assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in such uncertainties and judgments during the next 12 months.  In the event the Company should need to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities, this amount will be recorded as income tax expense.

Liquidation: (continued)


Following the full distribution to the holders of Series C, the holders of Series A and Series B will be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to holders of common stock, an amount per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like, equal to $0.3855 and $1.7288, respectively, plus declared but unpaid dividends.  If, upon occurrence of such an event, the assets and funds distributed among the holders of Series A and Series B are insufficient to permit the above payment to such holders, then the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A and Series B in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.


After full payment to the holders of preferred stock of the full preferential amounts specified above, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of common stock.


Voting:


The holder of each share of preferred stock is entitled to voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock could be converted.


So long as there are at least 2,000,000 shares of Series A issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors.  So long as there are at least 2,000,000 shares of Series B issued and outstanding, the holders of Series B, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors.  The holders of warrants issued in April 2011 in connection with the acquisition of EMN are entitled to vote as a separate class and to elect a percentage of the members to the Board of Directors equal to their percentage of fully diluted ownership in the Company.  Any additional members of the Board of Directors are elected by the holders of preferred and common stock, voting together as a single class, on an as-converted basis.


Protective Provisions:


As long as 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock remain outstanding, the approval of the majority of the holders of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, is required before the rights, preferences and privileges of preferred stock can be altered to materially and adversely affect such shares, increase or decrease the total number of authorized preferred stock or common stock, alter or repeal the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company,  increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors, declare or pay any distribution, take any action that results in the redemption or repurchase of any shares of common stock, consummate a liquidation event, or create any subsidiary of the Company unless unanimously approved by the Board of Directors.


Conversion:


Each share of preferred stock is convertible to common stock, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance.  Each share of preferred stock automatically converts into that number of shares of common stock determined in accordance with the conversion rate upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a public offering with aggregate proceeds of at least $30,000,000 or (ii) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, on an as converted basis.

Stock Options


In 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Global Share Plan (the Plan) under which 27,982,558 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants.  


Under the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options.  Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees and directors.  The exercise price of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options shall be no less than 100% of the fair value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.  Options expire after 10 years.  The Board of Directors determines the period over which options vest and become exercisable (the requisite service period), generally 4 years.  The Company has a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason.


The fair value of each award granted in 2012 and 2011 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the years ended December 31:


 

 

2012

 

2011

1.36 - 1.43%

 

1.11 – 1.97%

Forfeiture rate

 

23.14%

 

20.79%


Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in the Company’s industry.  The expected term of the options represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding and  is estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.


In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company recognized $402,565 and $361,479, respectively, of employee stock-based compensation.  No income tax benefits have been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements.


The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $554,932 and $217,936, respectively.


Future stock-based compensation for unvested employee options outstanding as of December 31, 2012 is $648,709 to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 2.03 years.

The weighted average remaining contractual life and the aggregate intrinsic value for total options outstanding as of December 31, 2012 was 7.2 years and $0, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value for options that were granted for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $.0001 and $.1369, respectively.

The Company also uses the fair value method to value options granted to non-employees. There were no options granted to non-employees in 2012. The Company’s valuation for non-employee grants in 2011 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: expected life of 6.8 to 8.6 years; risk-free interest rate of 1.47% to 2.75%; expected volatility of 50% to 54%; and no dividends during the expected term.


Options granted to non-employees that vest over time result in variable accounting treatment until they become vested.  Unvested options subject to variable accounting treatment are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates, based on fluctuations of the fair value of the Company’s common stock.  The stock-based compensation associated with these fluctuations is charged to operations in the period incurred.  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense and, therefore, will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated cash flows or liquidity.  Variable accounting treatment may result in unpredictable stock-based compensation charges in future years.  The amount of future stock-based compensation adjustments is dependent on fluctuations in the fair value for the Company’s common stock.  In the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $92,241 stock-based compensation expense related to options issued to non-employees. The Company recognized no stock-based compensation expense in 2012.


11.

Employee Benefit Plan


The Company has a 401(k) plan to provide defined contribution retirement benefits for all eligible employees.  Participants may contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company’s contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The Company has not made any contributions to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


12.

Net Loss Per Share


Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  For the years 2012 and 2011, the effect of issuing the potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses in each period.  Therefore, the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share were the same for each of those years.

Net Loss Per Share (continued)


Following are common shares that would be issued if all common stock options and warrants were exercised, and all preferred stock warrants were exercised and converted to common stock.  These potential common shares have not been included in the calculation of fully diluted shares outstanding, because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Board of Directors

Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (dba RMG Networks, Inc.)

San Francisco, California



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (dba RMG Networks, Inc.) (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (dba RMG Networks, Inc.) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements




1.

Nature of Business and Management’s Plans Regarding the Financing of Future Operations


Nature of Business


RMG Networks, Inc. (RMG) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2005 under the name Danouv, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to RMG Networks, Inc. in September 2009.  In April 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Executive Media Network Worldwide and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Corporate Image Media, Inc. and Prophet Media, LLC, (collectively EMN) (Note 6) RMG established Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (the Company), which was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 11, 2011 (closing date).  As of the closing date, the Company and RMG Networks, Inc. merged, with RMG Networks, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


Headquartered in San Francisco, California, RMG was founded as a media network of screens in coffee shops and eateries. The acquisition of EMN in 2011 provided RMG with airline partner relationships and contracts that allowed it to evolve into a global digital signage company that now operates the RMG Airline Media Network, a U.S.-based air travel media network covering digital media assets in airline executive clubs, in-flight entertainment systems, in-flight Wi-Fi portals and private airport terminals. The Company’s platform delivers premium video content and information to high value consumer audiences. RMG’s digital signage solutions group builds and operates digital place-based networks and offers a range of innovative digital signage software, hardware and services to small and medium businesses and enterprise customers.


Management’s Plans Regarding the Financing of Future Operations


The Company has incurred net losses and net cash outflows from operations since inception.  In April 2011, the Company borrowed $25,000,000 under a credit agreement with an investment company, and used the majority of the funds to acquire EMN under an agreement and plan of merger (Note 6).  Although the Company had sufficient resources to meet working capital needs through December 31, 2012, it is in violation of a loan covenant that allows the lender to demand immediate repayment of the debt (Note 5).


In January 2013, the Company signed an agreement to merge with a public company (note 12). Upon consummation of the merger, the Company will become a subsidiary of the public company, at which time the existing borrowings under the credit agreement described above are scheduled to be extinguished.


Should the merger not be consummated, the Company intends to work with the lender to negotiate more favorable loan terms. If more favorable terms cannot be obtained, additional debt or equity financing will be required.  If additional future financing is required, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms that will be acceptable to the Company or at all.

Significant Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation:


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Danoo (Beijing) Technologies, Ltd. (name formally changed to RMG China, Ltd. in 2012), a foreign operating entity; RMG Networks, Inc.; EMN Acquisition Corporation; Executive Media Network, Inc.; Prophet Media, LLC; and Corporate Image Media, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Foreign Currency Transactions:


The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries.  Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations.  The Company transfers U.S. dollars to China to fund operating expenses.  Should RMG China generate operating net income in Chinese currency, the People’s Republic of China would impose restrictions over the transfer of funds to the U.S.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Acquisition Accounting:


In March 2010, the Company acquired certain assets formerly belonging to Pharmacy TV Networks, LLC (PTV).  In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded all acquired assets of PTV at fair value, resulting in a new accounting basis for the acquired assets, including the recording of substantial goodwill (Note 6).  As of December 31, 2012, all assets related to PTV, including goodwill, were written off after the network was abandoned in early 2011 to focus on core airline and airline lounge network assets.


In April 2011, the Company acquired EMN.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded all assets of EMN at fair value.  The Company performed a purchase price allocation resulting in a new accounting basis for the purchased assets, including the recording of substantial intangible assets and goodwill (Note 6).


Revenue Recognition:


The Company sells advertising through agencies and directly to a variety of customers under contracts ranging from one month to one year. Contracts usually specify the network placement, the expected number of impressions (determined by passenger or visitor counts) and the cost per thousand impressions (“CPM”) over the contract period to arrive at a contract amount. RMG bills for these advertising services as requested by the customer, generally on a monthly basis following delivery of the contracted number of impressions for the particular ad insertion. Revenue is recognized at the end of the month in which fulfillment of the advertising order occurred. Although the Company typically presents invoices to an advertising agency, collection is reasonably assured based upon the customer placing the order.


Under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-45 Principal Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent) the Company has recorded its advertising revenues on a gross basis.


Payments to airline and other partners for revenue sharing are paid on a monthly basis either under a minimum annual guarantee (based upon estimated advertising revenues), or as a percentage of the advertising revenues following collection from customers.


The Company also recognizes revenue from professional services for development of software and sale of software license agreements.  Professional service revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the contract and represents the revenue from one base contract and ancillary agreements for 2011 and 2010.  Software license revenue is recognized after persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products, support and/or other services, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value.  If vendor-specific objective evidence for the undelivered elements cannot be ascertained, and the arrangement cannot be unbundled, then revenue is deferred until the delivery of the undelivered elements or, if the only undelivered element is customer support, recognized ratably over the service period.


Deferred revenue at December 31, 2011 relates to a software service contract with a customer for which revenue is being recognized ratably under the terms of the agreement.


Cash and Cash Equivalents:


Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments purchased with remaining maturities of three months or less.  Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market accounts.


Restricted Cash:


Restricted cash related to funds held to guarantee the Company’s corporate credit cards and as guarantees required under lease agreements for one of the Company’s office facilities.  Restriction requirements continue through the term of the lease, which expires in 2013.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Business Concentrations:


For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had four major customers: customers A, B, C and D represented 13%, 13%, 11% and 11%, respectively, (48% total) of annual revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had two major customers:  customers A and B represented 19% and 16%, respectively, (35% total) of annual revenue in year 2010).  The Company had $581,000 and $18,000 ($599,000 total) from Customers B and C, respectively as of December 31, 2011 and $0 from major customers at December 31, 2010.


Concentration of Credit Risk:


Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable.


The Company does not require collateral or other security for accounts receivable.  However, credit risk is mitigated by the Company’s ongoing evaluations of customer creditworthiness.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable balances.  The allowance 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 delinquent accounts.  Such credit losses have been within management’s expectations.   


The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in the United States with two financial institutions.  These balances routinely exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit.  Cash and cash equivalents of $86,000 and $25,000 held in a foreign country at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were not insured.


Property and Equipment:


Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company depreciates property and equipment using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the remaining lease term.


Capitalized Software Development Costs:


The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of internal use software after such a time as it is considered probable the software will be completed and will be used to perform the function intended.  The Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing and obtaining internal-use computer software, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to developing the internal-use software.  The Company capitalized software development costs of $115,401 in October 2011. Capitalized costs are not amortized until each development project is completed and new functionality has been implemented.  The Company recognized amortization expense of $5,754 in the year 2011.


Other Assets:


Other assets consist of deposits related to leases for office facilities.


Intangible Assets:


Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization.  Amortization of intangibles with finite lives is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of two to seven years.  Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized until their useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite.  Intangible assets consist of customer and vendor relationships, trademarks, domain names, non-compete agreements and acquired technology resulting from acquisitions (Notes 4 and 6), and internally developed software.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements



2.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Intangible Assets: (continued)


Intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that of the reporting unit is impaired.  Intangible assets subject to amortization are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset group’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The Company tests intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test.


An impairment loss for an intangible asset subject to amortization is recognized only if the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group).


Goodwill:


Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to a review for impairment.  The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.  The Company tests goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill.


The Company recognized impairment charges of $637,138 for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the underperformance of certain network units within the Company (and none in the year 2010).


Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:


The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured to be the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying cost amount or the fair value less the cost to sell.  The Company did not record any impairment related to long-lived assets, with the exception of the impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 or the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.


Advertising and Promotion Costs:


The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred.  Advertising and promotion expense was $96,000 and $306,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is included in sales and marketing expense.


Research and Development:


The Company expenses research and development expenditures as incurred.


Stock-Based Compensation:


The Company generally grants stock options to its employees for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at date of grant.  All stock option grants are accounted for using the fair value method and compensation is recognized as the underlying options vest.



F-68



Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc.

(dba RMG Networks, Inc.)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements



2.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Stock-Based Compensation: (continued)


Stock-based compensation for options or warrants granted to non-employees is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.  Compensation expense for options granted to non-employees is periodically re-measured as the underlying options vest.


Deferred Revenue:


Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from professional service agreements described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met.  The Company generally invoices the customer in annual installments.


Income Taxes:


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future income tax effects of differences between the amounts at which assets and liabilities are recorded for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recorded for income tax purposes.  Deferred income taxes are classified as current or non-current, based on the classifications of the related assets and liabilities giving rise to the temporary differences.  A valuation allowance is provided against the Company’s deferred income tax assets when their realization is not reasonably assured.


Use of Estimates:


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


Segment Information:


Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by a company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO)) in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.  The Company’s business is conducted in a single operating segment.  The CEO reviews a single set of financial data that encompasses the Company’s entire operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.  The CEO manages the business based primarily on broad functional categories of sales, marketing and technology development and strategy.


Reclassifications:


Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The reclassifications did not impact previously reported net loss on stockholders’ deficit.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:


In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.  ASU 2012-12 defers only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  The paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-12 supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (June 2011).  ASU 2011-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is effective for nonpublic entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.  The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-12 in its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11.   Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.   The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position.  This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update.  The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented.  The Company expects that this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment .  The amendments in this ASU allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.  Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.


In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.   For public entities, ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  For nonpublic entities, ASU 2011-5 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.  See ASU 2011-12 above for amendments to the effective date.  The Company has adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASC 2011-04).  The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of FASB ASC Topic 820 (ASC 820), but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This Update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Auditing Standards Board.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively.  For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company has adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings


Notes Payable:


In March 2007, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the Agreement) with a financial institution, for a term loan facility of $2,000,000.  The Company borrowed $1,000,000 under the Agreement in June 2007 and the remaining $1,000,000 in September 2007.  Borrowings under the Agreement include interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum and were secured by the assets of the Company.  In August 2008, the Agreement was amended to increase the available borrowings under the Agreement to $4,000,000.  The additional $2,000,000 was borrowed in December 2009, and included interest at the rate of 7% per annum.  In April 2011, the Company fully repaid the remaining outstanding borrowings under the Agreement.  As such, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Agreement at December 31, 2011.  There were outstanding borrowings under the Agreement of $1,530,132 at December 31, 2010.


In August 2008 and December 2009, in connection with amendments to the Agreement, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 52,059 and 34,706 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (Series B) at $1.7288 per share (Note 9), respectively.  The warrants were valued at $22,606 and $14,584, respectively, calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The fair value allocated to the warrants resulted in a discount to the notes payable that was amortized to interest expense over the repayment term of the notes payable.  The debt discount was fully amortized in the year ended December 31, 2011, unamortized debt discount related to the warrant was $19,445 at December 31, 2010.  The warrants remain outstanding at December 31, 2011 (Note 9).


In April 2011, the Company entered into a $50,000,000 credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with an investment institution.  The Company borrowed $25,000,000 upon the closing of the Credit Agreement and used the majority of these proceeds to acquire EMN (Note 6) and repay the outstanding balance under the former Agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the rate of 14% per annum, and the Company has the option to pre-pay a portion of the interest quarterly as stipulated under the terms of the Credit Agreement.  All unpaid interest is applied to the principal.  The Credit Agreement, which is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, matures in April 2015, at which time all outstanding principal and interest will be due. At December 31, 2011, there were outstanding borrowings of $26,768,944, which included $1,768,944 in interest applied to principal.

Borrowings (continued)


Notes Payable: (continued)


The Credit Agreement is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is a performance to plan test with respect to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined. The Company’s ability to borrow under this Credit Agreement has been suspended in 2012 due to non-compliance with this covenant. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pay a $750,000 facility fee, which was withheld from the $25,000,000 borrowed.  This facility fee was recognized as a discount to the notes payable and is being amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the Credit Agreement.  The amount amortized for the the year 2011 was $135,616. The unamortized discount related to the facility fee at December 31, 2011 was $614,384.


In April 2011, in connection with the issuance of the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants for the purchase 3,880,044 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (Series A), 4,227,584 shares of Series B, 2,423,152 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock (Series C), and 12,257,897 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share (Note 9).  The fair value of $645,243, $1,764,449, $780,947 and $2,912,458, respectively, was recorded as a discount to the notes payable and additional paid-in capital and is being amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the Credit Agreement.  The amount amortized was $1,103,574 for the year 2011. The unamortized discount related to the warrants was $4,999,523 at December 31, 2011. The warrants remain outstanding at December 31, 2011.


Line of Credit:


In November 2010, the Agreement was amended to provide a credit facility against eligible accounts receivable.  The credit facility availability was based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable up to $4,000,000.  In 2011, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company amended the credit facility under the Agreement to increase the available borrowings up to $9,375,000, based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable.  Borrowings under the credit facility bore interest at the greater of 7.25% per annum or prime plus 3.25% (7.25% at December 31, 2011).  The credit facility expires in April 2013, but was effectively terminated in June 2012, at which time the financial institution ceased to accept additional borrowing by the Company. The Company had outstanding borrowings of $1,399,723 and $1,542,752 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company recorded an increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance of ($315,000) and $8,898,000 to fully reserve the net deferred tax assets in the years 2011 and 2010, respectively.


The Company has federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes at December 31, 2011 of $33,365,000 and $31,753,000, respectively, both of which expire beginning in 2025 ($25,369,000 and $25,369,000, respectively, at December 31, 2010).  Additionally, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had federal and state research and development tax credits totaling $76,000 and $80,000, respectively.  The federal tax credits may be carried forward until 2025.  The state tax credits may be carried forward indefinitely.


Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the use of net operating loss and income tax credit carry-forwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company.  If the Company should have an ownership change of more than 50% of the value of the Company’s capital stock, utilization of the carryforwards could be restricted.


The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state jurisdictions and for its subsidiary in China.  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable.  The tax return years 2007 through 2011 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Income Taxes (continued)


The Company has adopted the provisions set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, to account for uncertainty in income taxes.  In the preparation of income tax returns in federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, the Company asserts certain tax positions based on its understanding and interpretation of the income tax law.  The taxing authorities may challenge such positions, and the resolution of such matters could result in recognition of income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns.


The Company uses the “more likely than not” criterion for recognizing the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and to establish measurement criteria for income tax benefits. The Company has determined it has no material unrecognized assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in such uncertainties and judgments during the next 12 months.  In the event the Company should need to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities, this amount will be recorded as an accrued liability.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C are entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to holders of Series A, Series B, and common stock, an amount per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like, equal to $0.602355, plus all declared but unpaid dividends.  If, upon occurrence of such an event, the assets and funds of the Company are insufficient to make this distribution, the holders of Series C will receive the available proceeds on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts that would otherwise be distributable.


Following the full distribution to the holders of Series C, the holders of Series A and Series B will be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to holders of common stock, an amount per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like, equal to $0.3855 and $1.7288, respectively, plus declared but unpaid dividends.  If, upon occurrence of such an event, the assets and funds distributed among the holders of Series A and Series B are insufficient to permit the above payment to such holders, then the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A and Series B in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.


After full payment to the holders of preferred stock of the full preferential amounts specified above, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of common stock.


Voting:


The holder of each share of preferred stock is entitled to voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock could be converted.


So long as there are at least 2,000,000 shares of Series A issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors.  So long as there are at least 2,000,000 shares of Series B issued and outstanding, the holders of Series B, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors.  The holders of warrants issued in April 2011 in connection with the acquisition of EMN are entitled to vote as a separate class and to elect a percentage of the members to the Board of Directors equal to their percentage of fully diluted ownership in the Company.  Any additional members of the Board of Directors are elected by the holders of preferred and common stock, voting together as a single class, on an as-converted basis.


Protective Provisions:


As long as 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock remain outstanding, the approval of the majority of the holders of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, is required before the rights, preferences and privileges of preferred stock can be altered to materially and adversely affect such shares, increase or decrease the total number of authorized preferred stock or common stock, alter or repeal the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company,  increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors, declare or pay any distribution, take any action that results in the redemption or repurchase of any shares of common stock, consummate a liquidation event, or create any subsidiary of the Company unless unanimously approved by the Board of Directors.


Conversion:


Each share of preferred stock is convertible to common stock, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance.  Each share of preferred stock automatically converts into that number of shares of common stock determined in accordance with the conversion rate upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a public offering with aggregate proceeds of at least $30,000,000 or (ii) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, on an as converted basis.

Stock Options


In 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Global Share Plan (the Plan) under which 27,982,558 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants.  


Under the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options.  Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees and directors.  The exercise price of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options shall be no less than 100% of the fair value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.  Options expire after 10 years.  The Board of Directors determines the period over which options vest and become exercisable.  The Company has a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason.  


The fair value of each award granted in 2011 and 2010 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 4.7 to 6.1 years; risk-free interest rates from 1.10% to 2.92%; expected volatility of 51% to 60%; forfeiture rate of 20.79% to 24.15% and no dividends during the expected life.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in the Company’s industry.  The expected life of the options represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding and is estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.


In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $302,500, $271,109, $361,479, and $282,557, respectively, of employee stock-based compensation.  No income tax benefits have been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements and no stock-based compensation costs have been capitalized as part of property and equipment as of December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.


The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $217,936 and $240,966, respectively.


Future stock-based compensation for unvested employee options granted and outstanding as of December 31, 2011 was $961,000 with a requisite service period of 2.33 years.

The Company also uses the fair value method to value options granted to non-employees.  The Company’s calculation for non-employee grants in 2011 and 2010 was made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 6.8 to 8.6 years; risk-free interest rate of 1.47% to 2.75%; expected volatility of 50% to 54%; and no dividends during the expected term.


Options granted to non-employees that vest over time result in variable accounting treatment until they become vested.  Unvested options subject to variable accounting treatment are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates, based on fluctuations of the fair value of the Company’s common stock.  The stock-based compensation associated with these fluctuations is charged to operations in the period incurred.  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense and, therefore, will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated cash flows or liquidity.  Variable accounting treatment may result in unpredictable stock-based compensation charges in future years.  The amount of future stock-based compensation adjustments is dependent on fluctuations in the fair value for the Company’s common stock. In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized stock-based compensation related to options issued to non-employees of $92,241 and $190,153, respectively.  


11.

Employee Benefit Plan


The Company has a 401(k) plan to provide defined contribution retirement benefits for all eligible employees.  Participants may contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company’s contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The Company has not made any contributions to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Subsequent Events


In November 2012, the Company entered into a letter of intent to be acquired by a public company and signed a merger agreement on January 11, 2013.  Upon consummation of the merger, the Company will become a subsidiary of the public company.


13.

Earnings Per Share


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  For the years 2011 and 2010, the effect of issuing the potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses in each period.  Therefore, the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share were the same for each of those periods.


The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31:


 

 

2011

 

2010

Common shares outstanding at beginning of period

 

6,329,095

 

4,290,535

Weighted average shares issued upon exercise of stock options

 

3,233

 

29,687

Weighted average shares issued  in connection with business acquisitions

 

-

 

744,345

Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period

 

6,332,328

 

5,064,567


Following are common shares that would be issued if all options and warrants were exercised.  These potential common shares have not been included in the calculation of fully diluted shares outstanding, because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive.

1.     Nature of Business and Management’s Plans Regarding the Financing of Future Operations


Nature of Business


RMG Networks, Inc. (RMG) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2005 under the name Danouv, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to RMG Networks, Inc. in September 2009.  In April 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Executive Media Network Worldwide and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Corporate Image Media, Inc. and Prophet Media, LLC, (collectively EMN) (Note 6) RMG established Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (the Company), which was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 11, 2011 (closing date).  As of the closing date, the Company and RMG Networks, Inc. merged, with RMG Networks, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


Headquartered in San Francisco, California, RMG was founded as a media network of screens in coffee shops and eateries. The acquisition of EMN in 2011 provided RMG with airline partner relationships and contracts that allowed it to evolve into a global digital signage company that now operates the RMG Airline Media Network, a U.S.-based air travel media network covering digital media assets in airline executive clubs, in-flight entertainment systems, in-flight Wi-Fi portals and private airport terminals. The Company’s platform delivers premium video content and information to high value consumer audiences. RMG’s digital signage solutions group builds and operates digital place-based networks and offers a range of innovative digital signage software, hardware and services to small and medium businesses and enterprise customers.


Management’s Plans Regarding the Financing of Future Operations


The Company has incurred net losses and net cash outflows from operations since inception.  In April 2011, the Company borrowed $25,000,000 under a credit agreement with an investment company, and used the majority of the funds to acquire EMN under an agreement and plan of merger (Note 6).  The Company is in violation of a loan covenant that allows the lender to demand immediate repayment of the debt (Note 5).


In January 2013, the Company signed an agreement to merge with a public company (Note 13). The merger was consummated on April 18, 2013 and the Company became a subsidiary of the public company as of this date, at which time the existing borrowings under the credit agreement described in Note 5 were extinguished.


2.     Significant Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation:


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Danoo (Beijing) Technologies, Ltd. (name formally changed to RMG China, Ltd. in 2012), a foreign operating entity; RMG Networks, Inc.; EMN Acquisition Corporation; Executive Media Network, Inc.; Prophet Media, LLC; and Corporate Image Media, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Basis of Presentation for Interim Financial Statements:


The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The unaudited Financial Statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2013 include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. This includes all normal and recurring adjustments, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 that are incorporated in this Prospectus. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.


Foreign Currency Transactions:


The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries.  Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations.  The Company transfers U.S. dollars to China to fund operating expenses.  Should RMG China generate operating net income in Chinese currency, the People’s Republic of China would impose restrictions over the transfer of funds to the U.S.



F-89





2.     Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Acquisition Accounting:


In March 2010, the Company acquired certain assets formerly belonging to Pharmacy TV Networks, LLC (PTV).  In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded all acquired assets of PTV at fair value, resulting in a new accounting basis for the acquired assets, including the recording of goodwill (Note 6).  As of December 31, 2012, all assets related to PTV, including goodwill, were written off after the network was abandoned in early 2011 to focus on core airline and airline lounge network assets.


In April 2011, the Company acquired EMN.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded all assets of EMN at fair value.  The Company performed a purchase price allocation resulting in a new accounting basis for the purchased assets, including the recording of intangible assets and goodwill (Note 6).


Revenue Recognition:


The Company sells advertising through agencies and directly to a variety of customers under contracts ranging from one month to one year. Contracts usually specify the network placement, the expected number of impressions (determined by passenger or visitor counts) and the cost per thousand impressions (“CPM”) over the contract period to arrive at a contract amount. RMG bills for these advertising services as requested by the customer, generally on a monthly basis following delivery of the contracted number of impressions for the particular ad insertion. Revenue is recognized at the end of the month in which fulfillment of the advertising order occurred. Although the Company typically presents invoices to an advertising agency, collection is reasonably assured based upon the customer placing the order.


Under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-45 Principal Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent) the Company has recorded its advertising revenues on a gross basis.


Payments to airline and other partners for revenue sharing are paid on a monthly basis either under a minimum annual guarantee (based upon estimated advertising revenues), or as a percentage of the advertising revenues following collection from customers. The portion of revenue that RMG shares with its partners ranges from 25% to 80% depending on the partner and the media asset. RMG makes minimum annual guarantee payments under four agreements (three to airline partners and one to another travel partner). Payments to all other partners are calculated on a revenue sharing basis. RMG’s partnership agreements have terms ranging from one to five years. Four partnership agreements renew automatically unless terminated prior to renewal and the remainder have no obligation to renew.


The Company also recognizes revenue from professional services for development of software and sale of software license agreements.  Professional service revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the contract and represents the revenue from one base contract and ancillary agreements for 2012.  Software license revenue is recognized after persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.  In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products, support and/or other services, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value.  If vendor-specific objective evidence for the undelivered elements cannot be ascertained, and the arrangement cannot be unbundled, then revenue is deferred until the delivery of the undelivered elements or, if the only undelivered element is customer support, recognized ratably over the service period.


Cash and Cash Equivalents:


Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments purchased with remaining maturities of three months or less.  Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market accounts.


Restricted Cash:


Restricted cash related to funds held to guarantee the Company’s corporate credit cards and as guarantees required under lease agreements for two of the Company’s office facilities.  Restriction requirements continue through the term of the leases, which expire in 2015 and 2020, respectively.  




F-90





2.     Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Business Concentrations:


For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company had three major customers: Customers A, B, and C represented 29%, 14%, and 10%, respectively (53% total) of quarterly revenues. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company had three major customers: Customers A, B and C represented 14%, 13%, and 10%, respectively, (37% total) of quarterly revenues. The Company had accounts receivable of $1,597,359, $787,795, and $555,791 ($2,940,856 total) from Customers A, B and C, respectively, as of March 31, 2013, and had accounts receivable of $663,461, $36,000, and $700,397 ($1,399,858 total) from Customers A, B, and C, respectively, at March 31, 2012.


Concentration of Credit Risk:


Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable.


The Company does not require collateral or other security for accounts receivable.  However, credit risk is mitigated by the Company’s ongoing evaluations of customer creditworthiness.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable balances.  The allowance 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 delinquent accounts on a customer by customer basis. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off. Such credit losses have been within management’s expectations.   


The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in the United States with two financial institutions.  These balances routinely exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit.  Cash and cash equivalents of $141,000 and $150,000 held in a foreign country as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were not insured.


Property and Equipment:


Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  The Company depreciates property and equipment using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the remaining lease term.


Capitalized Software Development Costs:


The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of internal use software after such a time as it is considered probable the software will be completed and will be used to perform the function intended.  The Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing and obtaining internal-use computer software, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to developing the internal-use software. Capitalized costs are not amortized until each development project is completed and new functionality has been implemented.  The Company recognized amortization expense of $5,770 and $5,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $23,080 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  


Other Assets:


Other assets consist of deposits related to leases for office facilities.


Intangible Assets:


Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization.  Amortization of intangibles with finite lives is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of two to seven years. Intangible assets consist of customer and vendor relationships, trademarks, domain names, non-compete agreements and acquired technology resulting from acquisitions (Notes 4 and 6), and internally developed software.


Intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that of the reporting unit is impaired.  Intangible assets subject to amortization are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset group’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.



F-91





2.     Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Intangible Assets: (continued)


An impairment loss for an intangible asset subject to amortization is recognized only if the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). The Company recognized an impairment charge of $2,295,433 for intangible assets related to the IdeaCast, Inc. acquisition in the year ended December 31, 2012 (See Note 6). There was no impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2013.


Goodwill:


Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to a review for impairment.  The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.  The Company tests goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.  An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill.


The Company recognized an impairment charge of $619,987 in the year ended December 31, 2012 due to the underperformance of certain network units within the Company. There was no impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2013.


Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:


The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured to be the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying cost amount or the fair value less the cost to sell.  


Advertising and Promotion Costs:


The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred.  Advertising and promotion expense was $11,170 and $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $19,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and is included in sales and marketing expense.


Stock-Based Compensation:


The Company generally grants stock options to its employees for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at date of grant.  All stock option grants are accounted for using the fair value method (Black-Scholes model) and compensation is recognized as the underlying options vest.


Stock-based compensation for options or warrants granted to non-employees is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.  Compensation expense for options granted to non-employees is periodically re-measured as the underlying options vest.


Research and Development:


The Company expenses research and development expenditures as incurred.


Deferred Revenue:


Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from professional service agreements described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met.  The Company generally invoices the customer in annual installments.




F-92





2.     Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Income Taxes:


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future income tax effects of differences between the amounts at which assets and liabilities are recorded for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recorded for income tax purposes.  Deferred income taxes are classified as current or non-current, based on the classifications of the related assets and liabilities giving rise to the temporary differences.  A valuation allowance is provided against the Company’s deferred income tax assets when their realization is not reasonably assured.


Use of Estimates:


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


Segment Information:


Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by a company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO)) in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.  The Company’s business is conducted in a single operating segment.  The CEO reviews a single set of financial data that encompasses the Company’s entire operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.  The CEO manages the business based primarily on broad functional categories of sales, marketing and technology development and strategy.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:


In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” (“ASU 2013-02”). The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 seeks to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This accounting standard update is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2011-12 in its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013.


In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-4 , Technical Corrections and Improvements .  This ASU clarifies the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) or corrects unintended application of guidance and includes amendments identifying when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.   Amendments to the Codification without transition guidance are effective upon issuance for both public and nonpublic entities.  For public entities, amendments subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  For nonpublic entities, amendments subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  The Company expects that this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22.  ASU 2012-03 clarifies the Codification or corrects unintended application of guidance and includes amendments identifying when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . Amendments to the Codification without transition guidance are effective upon issuance for both public and nonpublic entities.  For public entities, amendments subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  For nonpublic entities, amendments subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company expects that this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

2.     Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: (continued)


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment .  The amendments in this ASU will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired.  The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  ASU 2012-2 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.  The Company adopted ASU 2012-02 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.


In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.  ASU 2012-12 defers only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  The paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-12 supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (June 2011).  ASU 2011-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is effective for nonpublic entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.  The Company adopted ASU 2011-12 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11.   Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position.  This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update.  The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented. Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment .  The amendments in this ASU allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.  Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.


In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.   For public entities, ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  For nonpublic entities, ASU 2011-5 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.  See ASU 2011-12 above for amendments to the effective date.  The Company adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: (continued)


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASC 2011-04).  The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of FASB ASC Topic 820 (ASC 820), but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This Update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Auditing Standards Board.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively.  For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company has adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2007, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the Agreement) with a financial institution, for a term loan facility of $2,000,000.  The Company borrowed $1,000,000 under the Agreement in June 2007 and the remaining $1,000,000 in September 2007.  Borrowings under the Agreement included interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum and were secured by the assets of the Company.  In August 2008, the Agreement was amended to increase the available borrowings under the Agreement to $4,000,000.  The additional $2,000,000 was borrowed in December 2009, and included interest at the rate of 7% per annum.  In April 2011, the Company fully repaid the remaining outstanding borrowings under the Agreement.  As such, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Agreement at December 31, 2012.


In August 2008 and December 2009, in connection with amendments to the Agreement, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 52,059 and 34,706 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (Series B) at $1.7288 per share (Note 9), respectively.  The warrants were valued at $22,606 and $14,584, respectively, calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The fair value allocated to the warrants resulted in a discount to the notes payable that was amortized to interest expense over the repayment term of the notes payable.  The debt discount was fully amortized in the year ended December 31, 2011.  The warrants remain outstanding at December 31, 2012 (Note 9).


In April 2011, the Company entered into a $50,000,000 credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with an investment institution.  The Company borrowed $25,000,000 upon the closing of the Credit Agreement and used the majority of these proceeds to acquire EMN (Note 6) and repay the outstanding balance under the former Agreement.  Additional drawdowns of $1,594,273 occurred in 2012.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the rate of 14% per annum, and the Company has the option to pre-pay a portion of the interest quarterly as stipulated under the terms of the Credit Agreement.  All unpaid interest is applied to the principal.  The Credit Agreement, which is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, matures in April 2015, at which time all outstanding principal and interest will be due.  Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2013 and December 31,2012 were $ 33,707,058 and $32,554,356, respectively, which includes $7,112,785 and $5,960,083 as of March 31, 2013 and  December 31, 2012, respectively, in interest applied to the principal.

5.     Borrowings (continued)


Notes Payable: (continued)


The Credit Agreement is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is a performance to plan test with respect to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined. The Company’s ability to borrow under this Credit Agreement has been suspended in 2012 due to non-compliance with this covenant.  The investor may present a demand for repayment but has not to date. In the event that the investor would present a demand for repayment, any unamortized discount would be charged to expense in the same period as the demand. The Company has accordingly reclassified the note payable balance as a current liability as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pay a $750,000 facility fee, which was withheld from the $25,000,000 borrowed.  This facility fee was recognized as a discount to the notes payable and is being amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the Credit Agreement.  The amounts amortized for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $46,233 and $46,233, respectively.  The unamortized discount related to the facility fee as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $380,651 and $426,884, respectively.


In April 2011, in connection with the issuance of the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants for the purchase 3,880,044 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (Series A), 4,227,584 shares of Series B, 2,423,152 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock (Series C), and 12,257,897 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share (Note 9).  The fair value of $645,243, $1,764,449, $780,947 and $2,912,458, respectively, was recorded as a discount to the notes payable and additional paid-in capital and is being amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the Credit Agreement.  The amount amortized was $376,218 and $376,218 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The unamortized discount related to the warrants as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $3,097,531 and $3,473,749, respectively.  The warrants remain outstanding as of March 31, 2013.  


Line of Credit:


In November 2010, the Agreement was amended to provide a credit facility against eligible accounts receivable.  The credit facility availability was based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable up to $4,000,000.  In 2011, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company amended the credit facility under the Agreement to increase the available borrowings up to $9,375,000, based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable.  Borrowings under the credit facility bore interest at the greater of 7.25% per annum or prime plus 3.25% (7.25% at December 31, 2011). The credit facility expired in April 2013, but was effectively terminated in June 2012, at which time the financial institution ceased to accept additional borrowing by the Company.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Agreement.  


6.     Acquisitions


IdeaCast, Inc.:


In June 2009, the Company purchased certain assets formerly belonging to IdeaCast, Inc. under a foreclosure sale.

7.     Commitments and Contingencies


Lease Commitments:


The Company leases its office facilities in San Francisco, New York, and Chicago under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through September 2020.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $292,162 and $187,883, respectively, and $1,015,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as rent expense (which includes amounts related to lease impairments).


In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company entered into capital lease agreements with leasing companies for the financing of equipment and furniture purchases.  Under the lease agreements, the Company financed equipment purchases of $199,847 and $72,847 in the years 2012 and 2011, respectively).  The capital lease payments expire at various dates through June 2017.

The Company is currently subleasing two facilities and receiving monthly payments which are less than the Company’s monthly lease obligations.  Based upon the then current real estate market conditions, the Company believed that these leases had been impaired and accrued $305,000 of lease impairment for the year 2012. The impairment charges were calculated based on future lease commitments less estimated future sublease income.  The leases expire in February 28, 2021 and July 31, 2013, respectively.


Revenue Share Commitments:


From 2006 through 2012, the Company entered into revenue sharing agreements with four customers, requiring the Company to make minimum yearly revenue sharing payments.


Future minimum payments under these agreements are as follows:

The Company sold two media networks and all related assets in 2012. Although existing network commitments were assigned to the new buyers as a result of these transactions, there were certain vendor/partners that did not formally accept the assignments and resolve balances due under existing contracts.  Although the Company has accrued for commitments through the sale dates, there remains uncertainty as to the status of the Company’s obligations under these contracts.  In the opinion of management, any liabilities resulting from these uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


8.     Income Taxes


Due to net losses, the Company had no current, deferred, or total income tax expense in the 3 months ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the year ended December 31, 2012.




F-99





8.     Income Taxes (continued)


Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2013 did not change significantly from December 31, 2012. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the full amount of the net deferred tax assets at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.


The Company has federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes as of March 31, 2013 of $38,551,000 and $36,940,000, respectively, and as of December 31, 2012 of $34,266,000 and $32,655,000, respectively, which expire beginning in 2025.  Additionally, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had federal and state research and development tax credits totaling $76,000 and $80,000, respectively.  The federal tax credits may be carried forward until 2025.  The state tax credits may be carried forward indefinitely.


Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the use of net operating loss and income tax credit carry-forwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company.  If the Company should have an ownership change of more than 50% of the value of the Company’s capital stock, utilization of the carry-forwards could be restricted.


The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state jurisdictions and for its subsidiary in China.  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable.  The tax return years 2007 through 2012 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.


The Company has adopted the provisions set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, to account for uncertainty in income taxes.  In the preparation of income tax returns in federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, the Company asserts certain tax positions based on its understanding and interpretation of the income tax law.  The taxing authorities may challenge such positions, and the resolution of such matters could result in recognition of income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns.


The Company uses the “more likely than not” criterion for recognizing the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and to establish measurement criteria for income tax benefits.  The Company has determined it has no material unrecognized assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in such uncertainties and judgments during the next 12 months.  In the event the Company should need to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities, this amount will be recorded as income tax expense.


9.     Capital Stock


Common Stock:


The Company is authorized to issue 140,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.  As of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had 6,334,095 shares issued and outstanding.  Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share.  The holders of common stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors.

9.     Capital Stock (continued)


The holders of Series A, Series B and Series C (collectively, preferred stock), have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as follows:


Dividends:


The holders of Series C are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reclassifications or the like, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends to the holders of Series A, Series B and common stock, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, at a rate of $0.04819 per share, as adjusted, per annum.  


After the payment of dividends to the holders of Series C, the holders of Series A and Series B are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reclassifications or the like, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends to the holders of common stock, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, at a rate of $0.03084 and $0.13830 per share, respectively, as adjusted, per annum.  The Company has not declared any dividends as of March 31, 2013.


Liquidation:


In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C are entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to holders of Series A, Series B, and common stock, an amount per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like, equal to $0.602355, plus all declared but unpaid dividends.  If, upon occurrence of such an event, the assets and funds of the Company are insufficient to make this distribution, the holders of Series C will receive the available proceeds on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts that would otherwise be distributable.


Following the full distribution to the holders of Series C, the holders of Series A and Series B will be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to holders of common stock, an amount per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like, equal to $0.3855 and $1.7288, respectively, plus declared but unpaid dividends.  If, upon occurrence of such an event, the assets and funds distributed among the holders of Series A and Series B are insufficient to permit the above payment to such holders, then the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A and Series B in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.


After full payment to the holders of preferred stock of the full preferential amounts specified above, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of common stock.


Voting:


The holder of each share of preferred stock is entitled to voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock could be converted.


So long as there are at least 2,000,000 shares of Series A issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors.  So long as there are at least 2,000,000 shares of Series B issued and outstanding, the holders of Series B, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors.  The holders of warrants issued in April 2011 in connection with the acquisition of EMN are entitled to vote as a separate class and to elect a percentage of the members to the Board of Directors equal to their percentage of fully diluted ownership in the Company.  Any additional members of the Board of Directors are elected by the holders of preferred and common stock, voting together as a single class, on an as-converted basis.




F-101




9.     Capital Stock (continued)


Protective Provisions:


As long as 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock remain outstanding, the approval of the majority of the holders of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, is required before the rights, preferences and privileges of preferred stock can be altered to materially and adversely affect such shares, increase or decrease the total number of authorized preferred stock or common stock, alter or repeal the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company,  increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors, declare or pay any distribution, take any action that results in the redemption or repurchase of any shares of common stock, consummate a liquidation event, or create any subsidiary of the Company unless unanimously approved by the Board of Directors.


Conversion:


Each share of preferred stock is convertible to common stock, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance.  Each share of preferred stock automatically converts into that number of shares of common stock determined in accordance with the conversion rate upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a public offering with aggregate proceeds of at least $30,000,000 or (ii) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, on an as converted basis.

10.     Stock Options


In 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Global Share Plan (the Plan) under which 27,982,558 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants.  


Under the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options.  Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees and directors.  The exercise price of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options shall be no less than 100% of the fair value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.  Options expire after 10 years.  The Board of Directors determines the period over which options vest and become exercisable (the requisite service period), generally 4 years.  The Company has a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason.


The fair value of each award granted in 2012 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


 

 

2012

Expected term (years)

 

4.7 - 6.1

51% - 55%

Expected dividends

 

$0

Risk-free interest rate

 

1.36 - 1.43%

Forfeiture rate

 

23.14%


Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in the Company’s industry.  The expected term of the options represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding and  is estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.


In the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $99,965, $100,096, and $402,465, respectively, of employee stock-based compensation.  No income tax benefits have been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements.


The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $554,932.


Future stock-based compensation for unvested employee options outstanding as of December 31, 2012 is $648,709 to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 2.03 years.

11.     Employee Benefit Plan


The Company has a 401(k) plan to provide defined contribution retirement benefits for all eligible employees.  Participants may contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company’s contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The Company did not make any contributions to the plan during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.


12.     Net Loss Per Share


Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, the effect of issuing the potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses in each period.  Therefore, the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share were the same for each of those years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To Stockholders of SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the periods from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2011, as well as for the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the periods from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31 2011 and January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 7, 2013 expressed an adverse opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Stockholders of SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.


We have audited SCG Financial Acquisition Corp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). SCG Financial Acquisition Corp’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment:


Management has identified a material weakness in controls related to the accounting for warrants issued in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2012 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 7, 2013 on those financial statements.


In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheets and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of SCG Financial Acquisition Corp, and our report dated March 7, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion.

SCG FINANCIAL ACQUISITION CORP.

(a development stage company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012


NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS


SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2011. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets (“Initial Business Combination”). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any income, other than interest on the Trust Account assets (the “Trust Account”). The Company is focused on identifying a prospective target business or asset with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination. The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 915, or FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities,” and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. All activity through December 31, 2012 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Offering”) and identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination.


The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective April 8, 2011. The Company consummated the Offering on April 18, 2011 and received net proceeds of approximately $82,566,000, before deducting underwriting compensation of $4,000,000 (which includes $2,000,000 of deferred contingent underwriting compensation payable upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination) and includes $3,000,000 received for the purchase of 4,000,000 warrants by SCG Financial Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”). Total offering costs (excluding $2,000,000 in underwriting fees) was $433,808.


On April 12, 2011, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 warrants (“Sponsor Warrants”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the Offering, except that if held by the original holder or its permitted assigns, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis and (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption.


Total gross proceeds to the Company from the 8,000,000 units sold in the Offering was $80,000,000. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an Initial Business Combination.


On April 27, 2011, $80,000,000 from the Offering and Sponsor Warrants that was placed in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”) was invested, as provided in the Company’s registration statement. The Company is permitted to invest the proceeds of the Trust Account in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act. The Trust Account assets will be maintained until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.


On May 2, 2012, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “SCGQ”. Prior to May 2, 2012, the common stock was quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system under the same symbol. The warrants and units continue to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system under the symbols SCGW and SCGU, respectively.

SCG FINANCIAL ACQUISITION CORP

(a development stage company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012


NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (continued)


The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of one or more target businesses or assets, will not submit the transaction for stockholder approval, unless otherwise required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination if it is approved by the board of directors. Only in the event that the Company is required to seek stockholder approval in connection with its Initial Business Combination, the Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. In connection with such a vote, if an Initial Business Combination is approved and consummated, stockholders that elect to redeem their shares of common stock will be entitled to receive their pro-rata portion of the Trust Account as follows: (i) public stockholders voting against the Initial Business Combination and electing to redeem shares of common stock shall be entitled to receive a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account (excluding interest and net of taxes) and (ii) public stockholders voting in favor of the Initial Business Combination and electing to redeem shares of common stock shall be entitled to receive a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account (together with interest thereon which was not previously used for working capital but net of taxes). These shares of common stock are recorded at a fair value and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with ASC 480. The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have agreed, in the event the Company is required to seek stockholder approval of its Initial Business Combination, to vote the initial shares acquired by them in favor of approving an Initial Business Combination. The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have also agreed to vote shares of common stock acquired by them in the Offering or in the aftermarket in favor of an Initial Business Combination submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval.


The Company has identified two Initial Business Combination candidates, Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (“RMG”) and Symon Communications, Inc. (“Symon”). On November 20, 2012 and December 7, 2012, the Company entered into non-binding letter of intents with RMG and Symon, respectively. On December 19, 2012, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, during which the shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company must either consummate a business combination or commence proceedings to dissolve and liquidate from January 12, 2013 to April 12, 2013 (see Note J).


On November 11, 2012, 50% of the equity interests of Sponsor was transferred to 2012 DOOH Investments LLC (“DOOH”), an entity controlled by Donald R. Wilson, Jr. The Company and DOOH entered into an equity commitment letter agreement on December 14, 2012 whereby DOOH agreed to purchase, from the Company and/or in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of two million three hundred fifty thousand (2,350,000) shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, after the stock has been acquired, the Company will issue 120,000 shares of common stock as compensation. As of December 31, 2012, the common stock had not been acquired.


Going Concern Consideration


The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed that the Company will have until April 12, 2013 to consummate an Initial Business Combination due to the approval of at least 65% of the holders of the Company’s common stock. The Company has obtained the necessary shareholder approval to extend the timeframe to consummate an Initial Business Combination until April 12, 2013. If the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, (ii) redeem the public shares of common stock for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including a portion of the interest earned thereon which was not previously used for working capital (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), but net of any taxes (which redemption would completely extinguish such holders’ rights as stockholders, including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

For the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012


NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (continued)


The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their initial shares. However, if the Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs or any member of the Sponsor acquire shares of common stock after the Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required time period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Offering.


NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange of Commission (SEC).


Development stage company


The Company complies with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.” At December 31, 2012, the Company had not commenced any operations nor generated revenue to date, other than interest on the Trust Account balance. All activity through December 31, 2012 relates to the Company’s formation, the Offering and the investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination.


Net loss per common share


The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. At December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of common stock. For all periods presented, the weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period.


Concentration of credit risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Warrant Liability


The Company accounts for the 12,000,000 warrants issued in connection with the Offering (8,000,000) and Private Placement (4,000,000) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D, "Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" whereby under that provision they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection the Offering and Private Placement of securities has been estimated using the warrants quoted market price.


Fair value of financial instruments


The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Redeemable common stock


The 8,000,000 common shares sold as part of the Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of common shares under the Company’s liquidation or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. In accordance with FASB ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity", redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although the Company does not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its Charter provides that in no event will it redeem any of its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.


The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against the par value of common stock and retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99. During the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2011, changes from the initial redemption value were ($1,208,103) and $237,495, respectively, while changes from the initial number of shares subject to redemption were (120,811) and 23,750, respectively. Changes in redemption value and amounts are primarily due to the net income (loss) of the Company. Accordingly, at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 6,842,058 and 6,962,869 public shares, respectively, are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value. The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable (approximately $10.00 per share at December 31, 2012 and 2011).

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported for 2011 to conform with the 2012 presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.


Securities held in Trust Account


Investment securities consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.


A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities' fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the “interest income” line item in the statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.


Income tax


The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740, or FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the interim financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of $330,000 and $60,000, respectively. The deferred tax asset is comprised of expenses non-deductible in the development stage


There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the interim financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2012. The Company is not currently aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FASB ASC 740 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operation and cash flows as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012.


The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities and has been since its inception. The Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware and is therefore required to pay franchise taxes to the state of Delaware on an annual basis.

NOTE C - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The Company has restated its audited financial statements as of December 31, 2011 to correct its accounting for an adjustment related to the warrants issued in connection with the Offering, which comprise all of the outstanding warrants of the Company as of December 31, 2011. The Company’s original accounting treatment did not recognize a derivative liability and did not recognize any changes in the fair value of that derivative liability in its statements of operations.


In March 2013, the Company concluded it should correct its accounting related to the Company’s outstanding warrants. The Company had initially accounted for the warrants as a component of equity but upon further evaluation of the terms of the warrant, concluded that the warrants should be accounted for as a derivative liability. The warrants issued contain a restructuring price adjustment provision in the event of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, subsequent to the initial business combination, where the surviving entity is not the Company and whose stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange or on the OTC Bulletin Board, or is not to be so listed for trading immediately following such event (the "Applicable Event"). The exercise price of the warrant is decreased immediately following an Applicable Event by a formula that causes the warrants to not be indexed to the Company's own stock. As a result of this provision, the Company has restated its financial statements to reflect the Company’s warrants as a derivative liability with changes in the fair value recorded in the current period earnings.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE D—INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING


The Company consummated its Offering on April 18, 2011. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold 8,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 commencing on the later of (a) one year from the date of the prospectus for the Offering (April 12, 2012) or (b) 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, and will expire five years from the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination. The Warrants will be redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $17.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.


NOTE E - WARRANT LIABILITY


Pursuant to the Company's Offering, the Company sold 8,000,000 units, which subsequently separated into one warrant at an initial exercise price of $11.50 and one share of common stock. The Sponsor also purchased 4,000,000 warrants in a private placement in connection with the initial public offering. The warrants expire five years after the date of the Company's initial business combination. The warrants issued contain a restructuring price adjustment provision in the event of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, subsequent to the initial business combination, where the surviving entity is not the Company and whose stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange or on the OTC Bulletin Board, or is not to be so listed for trading immediately following such event (the "Applicable Event"). The exercise price of the warrant is decreased immediately following an Applicable Event by a formula that causes the warrants to not be indexed to the Company's own stock. Management used the quoted market price for the valuation of the warrants to determine the warrant liability to be $3,000,000 and $3,600,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This valuation is revised on a quarterly basis until the warrants are exercised or they expire with the changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations.


NOTE F—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


The Company issued $75,000 and $100,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on January 28, 2011 and February 9, 2011, respectively. The notes were non-interest bearing and were payable on the earlier of December 30, 2011 or the consummation of the Offering. The notes were repaid from the proceeds of the Company’s Offering. The Company issued two $100,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on August 15, 2012 and October 11, 2012. These notes are non-interest bearing and are payable upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or liquidation. Both of the $100,000 promissory notes were transferred to Gregory H. Sachs, Chief Executive Officer, on November 18, 2012. The Company issued $100,000 and $360,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on December 5, 2012 and December 21, 2012, respectively. These notes are also non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or liquidation.


On January 28, 2011, the Company issued to the Sponsor 1,752,381 shares of restricted common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash. The purchase price for each share of common stock was approximately $0.0001 per share. These shares included 228,571 shares of common stock that were forfeited on June 2, 2011 (as a result of the underwriters not exercising their overallotment option) upon the expiration of the underwriter’s overallotment option. The Sponsor and its permitted transferees own 16% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Offering. A portion of the Sponsor’s shares, in an amount equal to 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, will be subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor in the event the last sales price of the Company’s stock does not equal or exceed $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period within 24 months following the closing of an Initial Business Combination. The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have agreed that they will not sell or transfer their initial shares until one year following the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, subject to earlier release in certain circumstances.

NOTE F—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)


The Sponsor purchased, in a private placement, 4,000,000 warrants, which are the same warrants disclosed in Note E, prior to the Offering at a price of $0.75 per warrant (an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000) from the Company. Based on the observable market prices, the Company believes that the purchase price of $0.75 per warrant for such warrants exceeded the fair value of such warrants on the date of the purchase. The valuation was based on comparable initial public offerings by previous blank check companies. The Sponsor has agreed that the warrants purchased will not be sold or transferred until 30 days following consummation of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination, then the proceeds will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants issued to the Sponsor will expire worthless. The warrants purchased by the Sponsor are accounted for under ASC 815-40-15-7D, “Contracts in Entity’s own Equity.”


The following table summarizes the activity with respect to Sponsor warrants for the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012:

The Company has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, effective as of April 12, 2011, with Sachs Capital Group, LP, an affiliate of the Sponsor, for an estimated aggregate monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and secretarial and administrative services, with up to an additional $7,500 for other operating expenses incurred by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company. This agreement will expire upon the earlier of (a) the successful completion of our Company’s Initial Business Combination or (b) April 12, 2013. The Company has incurred $90,000 and $60,000 under this arrangement for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


The Sponsor is entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The Sponsor will be entitled to demand registration rights and certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to its shares of common stock, the Sponsor Warrants and the common stock underlying the Sponsor Warrants, commencing on the date such common stock or Sponsor Warrants are released from escrow. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.


NOTE G—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


In conjunction with the Offering on April 18, 2011, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional Units to cover the over-allotment at the Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.  This option expired unexercised on June 2, 2011.


A contingent fee payable to the underwriters of the Offering equal to 2.50% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Units sold in the Offering will become payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company consummates its Initial Business Combination. Such contingent fee is reflected as deferred underwriter’s fee of $2,000,000 on the accompanying December 31, 2012 and 2011 balance sheets.

On April 27, 2011, $80,000,000 from the Offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants that was placed in a Trust Account was invested, as provided in the Company’s registration statement.  The Company is permitted to invest the proceeds of the Trust Account in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the 1940 Act with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act.  The Trust Account assets will be maintained until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.


Investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account, at fair value, consist of $79,999,200 and $80,041,697 in United States Treasury Bills and $2,592 and $740 of cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company classifies its United States Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320, "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

NOTE I—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The adoption of FASB ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


The Company defines fair value as the amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value estimates presented in the table below are based on information available to the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


The accounting standard regarding fair value measurements discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.


• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.

NOTE I—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)


Warrant Liability


The fair value of the derivative warrant liability was determined by the Company using the quoted market prices for the publicly traded warrants. On reporting dates where there are no active trades the Company uses the last reported closing trade price of the warrants to determine the fair value (Level 2). There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during 2012 and 2011. There are no assets written down to fair value on non-recurring basis.


The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

NOTE L -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company issued a $150,000 unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor on January 11, 2013. This note is non-interest bearing and is payable upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or liquidation.


On January 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with RMG (“Merger Agreement”), whereby the Company will merge with and into RMG. In connection with the Merger, RMG’s stockholders will receive an aggregate of (i) 400,000 Company common shares, and (ii) $10,000 in cash, to be deposited into an escrow account. Additionally, the Company will pay, on behalf of RMG and its subsidiaries, all indebtedness of RMG Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMG, equal to $23,500,000. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will conduct a tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act (the “Tender Offer”). Through the Tender Offer, the Company’s stockholders will be provided with the opportunity to redeem their common shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the consummation of the Merger.


On February 11, 2013, the Company announced its intent to commence the Tender Offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding SCG common shares pursuant to Rule13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012


NOTE L -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)


On February 5, 2013, the Company engaged an investment bank in connection with the possible acquisition or purchase by the Company of RMG and Symon Communications, Inc. For each transaction, a fee of $750,000 is payable upon consummation thereof, for a maximum fee of $1,500,000, plus expenses.


On March 1, 2013, the Company, Symon Holdings Corporation (“Symon”), and Golden Gate Capital Investment Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as securityholders’ representative (the “Securityholders’ Representative”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into Symon, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Symon will continue its existence under the laws of the State of Delaware as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SCG (collectively, the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Symon’s stockholders will receive an aggregate of $45 million, minus (i) the amount of any indebtedness of Symon and its subsidiaries as of the date (the “Closing Date”) of the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), which indebtedness will be repaid in full by SCG on the Closing Date, (ii) the amount, if any, by which the expenses of Symon and its subsidiaries and security holders in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transaction Expenses”) exceed $2 million, and (iii) $250,000, which amount will be paid by SCG to the Securityholders’ Representative on the Closing Date to be held in trust as a source of reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in such capacity (the “Expense Fund”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SCG is required to pay, on the Closing Date, the Transaction Expenses.


On March 1, 2013, SCG entered into a financing commitment with the Donald R. Wilson, Jr. 2002 Trust (the “Trust”), whereby the Trust has provided a standby credit facility up to the aggregate amount of i) SCG’s obligations under the Merger Agreement with Symon and ii) all out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and other amounts payable by SCG under or in connection with the Merger Agreement with Symon. Such amount will be reduced by the aggregate amount of cash available to SCG as of the closing date of the merger from cash on hand, cash from SCG’s Public Shares, and net cash proceeds from any alternative debt financing. The fixed rate of interest for the first twelve months is 15% per annum, 5% of which will be payment-in-kind and added each month to the principal balance. In exchange for the financing commitment, the Trust will receive 100,000 shares of SCG Common Shares.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)



NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS


SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2011. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets that the Company had not yet identified (“Initial Business Combination”). As of March 31, 2013, he Company had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any income, other than interest on the trust account assets (the “Trust Account”). As of March 31, 2013, the Company was considered to be in the development stage as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 915, or FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities,” and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.


All activity through March 31, 2013 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Offering”) and identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination.


The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective April 8, 2011. The Company consummated the Offering on April 18, 2011 and received net proceeds of approximately $82,566,000, before deducting underwriting compensation of $4,000,000 (which includes $2,000,000 of deferred contingent underwriting compensation originally payable upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, which amount was reduced to $500,000 in April 2013) and includes $3,000,000 received for the purchase of 4,000,000 warrants by SCG Financial Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”). Total offering costs (excluding $2,000,000 in underwriting fees, which was subsequently reduced to $500,000) was $433,808.


On April 12, 2011, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 warrants (“Sponsor Warrants”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the Offering, except that if held by the original holder or its permitted assigns, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis and (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption.


Total gross proceeds to the Company from the 8,000,000 units sold in the offering was $80,000,000. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering were intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination.


On April 27, 2011, $80,000,000 from the Offering and Sponsor Warrants that was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) was invested, as provided in the Company’s registration statement. The Company was permitted to invest the proceeds of the Trust Account in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act. The Trust Account assets were to be maintained until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.


On May 2, 2012, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “SCGQ”. Prior to May 2, 2012, the common stock was quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system under the same symbol. The warrants and units continue to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system under the symbols SCGQW and SCGQU, respectively.


On January 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “RMG Merger Agreement”) with Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (“RMG”), pursuant to which the Company acquired RMG as its Initial Business Combination, effective April 8, 2013. Pursuant to the RMG Merger Agreement, the Company conducted a tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act (the “Tender Offer”). See Note J – Subsequent Events.


On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Symon Merger Agreement”) with Symon Holdings Corporation (“Symon”), pursuant to which the Company acquired Symon, effective April 19, 2013. See Note J – Subsequent Events.


The Company formed SCG Financial Merger II Corp. and SCG Financial Merger III Corp. for the purposes of its business combinations with RMG and Symon on January 10, 2013 and February 27, 2013, respectively. These subsidiaries were inactive during the period ended March 31, 2013.

The Company complies with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.” At March 31, 2013, the Company had not commenced any operations nor generated revenue to date, other than interest on the Trust Account balance. All activity through March 31, 2013 relates to the Company’s formation, the Offering and the investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination.


Net loss per common share


The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. At March 31, 2013, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period.


Concentration of credit risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.


Restricted cash equivalents held in the Trust Account


The amounts held in the Trust Account represented substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering and were classified as restricted assets since such amounts could only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. As of March 31, 2013, the funds held in the Trust Account were invested primarily in United States Treasury Securities.


Fair value of financial instruments


The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redeemable common stock


The 8,000,000 common shares sold as part of the Offering contain a redemption feature which allowed for the redemption of common shares under the Company’s liquidation or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although the Company does not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its Charter provides that in no event will it redeem any of its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead would have been entitled to search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.


The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against the par value of common stock and retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012, changes from the initial redemption value were $657,555 and $68,420,583, respectively, while changes from the initial number of shares subject to redemption were 65,755 and 6,842,058, respectively. Changes in redemption value and amounts are primarily due to the net income of the Company. Accordingly, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 6,776,303 and 6,842,058 public shares, respectively, are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value. The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable (approximately $10.00 per share at March 31, 2013).


Securities held in Trust Account


Investment securities consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.


A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities' fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the “interest income” line item in the statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.


Equity-based payments to non-employees


The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” which require companies to record compensation expense for transactions that involve the issuance of equity instruments in exchange for goods or services with non-employees. The amount of the compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of the awards of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 120,000 shares of common stock to DRW Commodities, LLC (“DRW”), as assignee of 2012 DOOH Investments LLC (“DOOH”), an entity controlled by Donald R. Wilson, Jr., pursuant to the terms of an equity commitment letter entered into in December 2012 between the Company and DOOH (and subsequently assigned to DRW), pursuant to which DRW agreed to purchase from the Company and/or in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of two million three hundred fifty thousand (2,350,000) shares of common stock of the Company.  DRW agreed not to redeem its shares from the Trust prior to the consummation of the Company’s contemplated business combinations.

Income taxes


The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740, or FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the interim financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2013. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the interim financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2013. The Company is not currently aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FASB ASC 740 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operation and cash flows as of and for the period ended March 31, 2013.


The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities and has been since its inception. The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.


Recently issued accounting standards


The Company does not believe that the adoption of any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.


NOTE C—INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING


The Company consummated its Offering on April 18, 2011. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold 8,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 commencing on the later of (a) one year from the date of the prospectus for the Offering (April 12, 2012) or (b) 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, and will expire five years from the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination. The Warrants will be redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $17.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.


NOTE D - WARRANT LIABILITY


Pursuant to the Company's Offering, the Company sold 8,000,000 units, which subsequently separated into one warrant at an initial exercise price of $11.50 and one share of common stock. The Sponsor also purchased 4,000,000 warrants in a private placement in connection with the initial public offering. The warrants expire five years after the date of the Company's initial business combination. The warrants issued contain a restructuring price adjustment provision in the event of Applicable Event. The exercise price of the warrant is decreased immediately following an Applicable Event by a formula that causes the warrants to not be indexed to the Company's own stock. Management used the quoted market price for the valuation of the warrants to determine the warrant liability to be $4,440,000 and $3,000,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. This valuation is revised on a quarterly basis until the warrants are exercised or they expire with the changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations.

NOTE E—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


The Company issued $75,000 and $100,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on January 28, 2011 and February 9, 2011, respectively. The notes were non-interest bearing and were payable on the earlier of December 30, 2011 or the consummation of the Offering. The notes were repaid from the proceeds of the Company’s Offering. The Company issued two $100,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on August 15, 2012 and October 11, 2012. These notes are non-interest bearing and are payable upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or liquidation. Both of the $100,000 promissory notes were transferred to Gregory H. Sachs, Chief Executive Officer, on November 18, 2012. The Company issued $100,000, $360,000, $150,000, $50,000 and $435,000 unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor on


December 5, 2012, December 21, 2012, January 11, 2013, March 13, 2013 and March 28, 2013, respectively. These notes are also non-interest bearing and were payable upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or liquidation.


On January 28, 2011, the Company issued to the Sponsor 1,752,381 shares of restricted common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash. The purchase price for each share of common stock was approximately $0.0001 per share. These shares included 228,571 shares of common stock that were forfeited on June 2, 2011 (as a result of the underwriters not exercising their overallotment option) upon the expiration of the underwriter’s overallotment option. The Sponsor and its permitted transferees own 16% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Offering. A portion of the Sponsor’s shares, in an amount equal to 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, will be subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor in the event the last sales price of the Company’s stock does not equal or exceed $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period within 24 months following the closing of an Initial Business Combination. The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have agreed that they will not sell or transfer their initial shares until one year following the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, subject to earlier release in certain circumstances.


The Sponsor purchased, in a private placement, 4,000,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants”) prior to the Offering at a price of $0.75 per warrant (an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000) from the Company. Based on the observable market prices, the Company believes that the purchase price of $0.75 per warrant for such Sponsor Warrants exceeded the fair value of such warrants on the date of the purchase. The valuation was based on comparable initial public offerings by previous blank check companies. The Sponsor has agreed that the Sponsor Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days following consummation of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Sponsor Warrants are accounted for in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99.


The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, effective as of April 12, 2011, with Sachs Capital Group, LP, an affiliate of the Sponsor, for an estimated aggregate monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and secretarial and administrative services, with up to an additional $7,500 for other operating expenses incurred by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company. The Company has paid Sachs Capital Group, L.P. $172,500 under this agreement. This agreement was to expire upon the earlier of: (a) the successful completion of our Company’s Initial Business Combination, (b) January 12, 2013 (plus one 3 month extension subject to (i) a signed letter of intent and (ii) approval of at least 65% of the holders of the Company’s common stock), or (c) the date on which the Company is dissolved and liquidated. This agreement terminated upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination on April 9, 2013 and through the date of this report, the additional $7,500 has not been paid to Sachs Capital Group LP.


The Sponsor is entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The Sponsor will be entitled to demand registration rights and certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to its shares of common stock, the Sponsor Warrants and the common stock underlying the Sponsor Warrants, commencing on the date such common stock or Sponsor Warrants are released from escrow. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.


NOTE F—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


In conjunction with the Offering on April 18, 2011, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional Units to cover the over-allotment at the initial offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.  This option expired unexercised on June 2, 2011.

A contingent fee payable to the underwriters of the Offering equal to 2.50% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Units sold in the Offering will become payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company consummates its Initial Business Combination. On February 7, 2013, an Amendment to the Underwriting Agreement by and between the Company and the underwriter was executed, whereby the deferred underwriting commission was reduced from $2,000,000 to $500,000.


On February 5, 2013, the Company engaged an investment bank in connection with the possible acquisition or purchase by the Company of RMG and Symon. For each transaction, a fee of $750,000 would be payable upon consummation thereof, for a maximum fee of $1,500,000, plus expenses.


NOTE G—INVESTMENT IN TRUST ACCOUNT


On April 27, 2011, $80,000,000 from the Offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants that was placed in a Trust Account was invested, as provided in the Company’s registration statement.  The Company was permitted to invest the proceeds of the Trust Account in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the 1940 Act with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act.  The Trust Account assets were to be maintained until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.


Investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consist of $80,000,000 and $79,999,200 in United States Treasury Bills and $10,661 and $2,592 of cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company classifies its United States Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320, "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

NOTE H—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The adoption of FASB ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


The Company defines fair value as the amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value estimates presented in the table below are based on information available to the Company as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.


The accounting standard regarding fair value measurements discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

·

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

·

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.


Warrant Liability


The fair value of the derivative warrant liability was determined by the Company using the quoted market prices for the publicly traded warrants. On reporting dates where there are no active trades the Company uses the last reported closing trade price of the warrants to determine the fair value (Level 2). There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012. There are no assets written down to fair value on non-recurring basis.


The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

NOTE J—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On April 8, 2013, the Company consummated its acquisition of RMG pursuant to the RMG Merger Agreement, among the Company, SCG Financial Merger II Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of SCG (“RMG Merger Sub”), RMG, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity    as Stockholder Representative (the “Stockholder Representative”). Pursuant to the terms of the RMG Merger Agreement, at the closing RMG was merged with and into RMG Merger Sub (the “RMG Merger”), with RMG continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the RMG Merger, RMG became a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the RMG Merger, RMG’s former stockholders became entitled to receive (i) 400,001 shares of the

Company’s common stock, of which 300,000 shares were deposited in an escrow account, (ii) $10,000 in cash, payable pro rata to the former holders of RMG’s Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) $10,000 in cash, all of which was deposited in an escrow account to be used to reimburse the Stockholder Representative for any losses the Stockholder Representative might incur pursuant to the terms and conditions of the RMG Merger Agreement. Additionally, at the closing of the RMG Merger, the Company paid, on behalf of RMG and its subsidiaries, all indebtedness of RMG Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMG. The aggregate amount of indebtedness repaid was equal to $23,500,000 (consisting of $21,000,000 in cash and 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock).


In connection with the RMG Merger, the Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock for cash equal to $10.00 per share, upon the consummation of the RMG Merger, pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 5, 2013, and the Company promptly purchased the 4,551,228 shares of common stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45.5 million.


On April 8, 2013, the Company issued to each of Donald R. Wilson, Jr. and Gregory H. Sachs warrants exercisable for 533,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Note Conversion Warrants”). The Note Conversion Warrants were issued upon the conversion by each of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs of a Promissory Note issued by the Company to the Sponsor in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000, which Promissory Note was subsequently assigned by the Sponsor to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 each. The conversion price of the Promissory Notes was $0.75 per Note Conversion Warrant. The Company also repaid the remaining Promissory Notes issued by the Company to (i) the Sponsor in an aggregate principal amount of $295,000 and (ii) Mr. Sachs in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000, which Promissory Note had originally been issued by the Company to the Sponsor and was subsequently assigned to Mr. Sachs.


On April 19, 2013, the Company consummated its acquisition of Symon pursuant to the Symon Merger Agreement among the Company, SCG Financial Merger III Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of SCG (“Symon Merger Sub”), Symon and Golden Gate Capital Investment Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as securityholders’ representative (the “Securityholders’ Representative”). Pursuant to the terms of the Symon Merger Agreement, at the closing Symon Merger Sub was merged with and into Symon (the “Symon Merger”), with Symon continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Symon Merger, Symon became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Symon Merger, Symon’s stockholders received an aggregate of $45 million, minus (i) the amount of any indebtedness of Symon and its subsidiaries as of the date, which indebtedness was repaid in full by us at the closing, (ii) $1,523,251, representing the amount by which the expenses of Symon and its subsidiaries and securityholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Symon Merger Agreement exceeded the permitted transaction-related costs of $2 million, and (iii) $250,000, which amount was paid to the Securityholders’ Representative to be held in trust as a source of reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in such capacity. At the closing, the Company also paid the expenses of Symon and its subsidiaries and securityholders incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Symon Merger Agreement.


On April 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company and certain of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries party thereto from time to time as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), certain of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries party thereto from time to time as guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Borrowers, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Senior Lenders”), Kayne Anderson Credit Advisors, LLC, as administrative agent (the “Senior Administrative Agent”), and Comvest Capital II, L.P., as Documentation Agent (the “Senior Credit Agreement”). The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $24 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”), which was funded in full on April 19, 2013. The Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Guarantors, and is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future assets of the Loan Parties (the “Collateral”).


The Senior Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 7.25% or the LIBOR Rate plus 8.5%, at the election of the Borrowers. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Senior Credit Agreement, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement will automatically be increased by 2% per annum. The “Base Rate” and the “LIBOR Rate” are defined in a manner customary for credit facilities of this type. The LIBOR Rate is subject to a floor of 1.5%.

The Company is required to make quarterly principal amortization payments in the amount of $600,000 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Senior Credit Agreement), with the first such amortization payment due on July 1, 2013. Subject to certain conditions contained in the Senior Credit Agreement, the Company may prepay the principal of the Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part. In addition, the Company is required to prepay the principal of the Senior Credit Facility (subject to certain basket amounts and exceptions) in amounts equal to (i) 50% of the “Excess Cash Flow” of the Company and its subsidiaries for each fiscal year (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement); (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from asset sales, debt issuances or equity issuances by the Company or any of the other Loan Parties; and (iii) 100% of any cash received by the Company or any of the other Loan Parties not in the ordinary course of business (excluding cash from asset sales and debt and equity issuances), net of reasonable collection costs.


The Company will not be required to make any mandatory prepayment to the extent that, after giving effect to such mandatory prepayment, the unrestricted cash on hand of the Loan Parties would be less than $5 million. The amount of any mandatory prepayment not prepaid as a result of the foregoing sentence will be deferred and shall be due and owing on the last day of each month thereafter, but in each case solely to the extent that unrestricted cash on hand of the Loan Parties would exceed or equal $5 million after giving effect thereto.


On April 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Junior Credit Agreement by and among the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Junior Credit Agreement Lenders”), and Plexus Fund II, L.P., as administrative agent for the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders (the “Junior Credit Agreement Administrative Agent”) (the “Junior Credit Agreement”). The Junior Credit Agreement provides for a five-year unsecured $2.5 million junior Term Loan A (issued with an original issue discount of $315,000) and a five-year unsecured $7.5 million junior Term Loan B (the “Junior Loans”). Each of the Junior Loans was funded in full on April 19, 2013. The Junior Loans are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Guarantors.


The Term Loan A will bear interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum and the Term Loan B will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the greater of 16% per annum and the current rate of interest under the Senior Credit Agreement relating to the Senior Credit Facility plus 4%. Interest owing under the Term B Loan shall be paid quarterly in arrears of which 12% will be paid in cash and the remaining amount owed will be paid in kind. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Junior Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Junior Credit Agreement will automatically be subject to an additional 2% per annum interest charge.


Borrowings under the Junior Credit Agreement are generally due and payable on the maturity date, April 19, 2018. Following the repayment in full of the Senior Credit Facility, the Company may voluntarily prepay the principal of the Junior Loans in whole or in part. In addition, the Company will be required to prepay the Junior Loans in full upon the occurrence of a “change of control” under the Junior Credit Agreement.


The required annual principal payments on the Senior and Junior Credit Facilities are as follows:

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period from January 5, 2011 (date of inception) to March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)



On April 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “DRW Purchase Agreement”) with DRW Commodities, LLC (“DRW”) pursuant to which DRW purchased 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $10 per share.


In April 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Donald R. Wilson, Jr. 2002 Trust (the "Trust"), pursuant to the terms of a financing commitment entered into between the Company and the Trust on March 1, 2013, whereby the Trust provided a standby credit facility up to the aggregate amount of (i) the Company’s obligations under the Symon Merger Agreement (ii) all out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and other amounts payable by the Company under or in connection with the Symon Merger Agreement with Symon. Such amount was reduced by the aggregate amount of cash available to the Company as of the closing date of the Symon Merger from cash on hand, cash from the sale of shares in the IPO, and net cash proceeds from any alternative debt financing. The fixed rate of interest for the first twelve months is 15% per annum, 5% of which will be payment-in-kind and added each month to the principal balance.


On April 25, 2012, SCG Financial Merger I Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the direct parent company of Symon and RMG (“SCG Intermediate”), entered into an employment agreement with Garry K. McGuire, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. McGuire is expected to provide his services as Chief Executive Officer of the Company through this employment agreement with SCG Intermediate.  Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. McGuire has agreed to serve as Chief Executive Officer of SCG Intermediate for a three year term commencing on April 25, 2013.  Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. McGuire will also serve as a member of the Board of Directors of SCG Intermediate.  Under the employment agreement, Mr. McGuire is entitled to receive an annual salary of $450,000 per year, subject to annual increases at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Mr. McGuire will also be entitled to an annual bonus of up to $480,000 based on SCG Intermediate’s achievement of certain earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation targets to be established by the Board of Directors on an annual basis.  Bonus amounts payable to Mr. McGuire payable to Mr. McGuire under his employment agreement will be calculated on a quarterly basis, and Mr. McGuire will be paid a pro rata portion of the following the completion of each fiscal quarter.  If Mr. McGuire receives quarterly bonus payments in excess of the amount actually earned through the end of the fiscal year, Mr. McGuire will be required to repay such excess bonus amounts to SCG Intermediate.  Alternatively, SCG Intermediate may retain or forfeit other compensation, payments or awards payable to Mr. McGuire until such excess bonus payments are recovered.


In May 2013, 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that had been issued to DRW pursuant to an Equity Commitment Letter, dated December 14, 2012, between the Company and DRW (as assignee of 2012 DOOH Investments, LLC), were returned to the Company and cancelled.


Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, a national securities exchange. On May 3, 2013, we received notification from the Nasdaq that it intends to delist our common stock, due to our failure to satisfy the initial listing requirement that we have at least 300 “round lot” holders of our common stock. We intend to submit an appeal letter to the Nasdaq hearings panel outlining our plan to remain in compliance with the listing requirements, including by increasing our number of shareholders pursuant to a Form S-1 offering.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or DGCL) provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours may, and in certain cases must, be indemnified by us against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys fees), if in either type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. This indemnification does not apply, (i) in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to us, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, and, (ii) in a non-derivative action, to any criminal proceeding in which such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Article VIII of our restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director of ours shall be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Article VIII of our restated certificate of incorporation also provides that we shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law any and all of our directors and officers, or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Item 15.   Recent sales of unregistered securities.

In January 2011, the Sponsor purchased 2,190,477 SCG Common Shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share.  On April 12, 2011, SCG effected a 0.8 for one reverse split, the result of which left the Sponsor with 1,752,381 Founder Shares.  The Sponsor returned an aggregate of 228,571 Founder Shares to SCG for no consideration after the underwriters of SCG’s Initial Public Offering determined that they would not exercise their option to purchase additional units to cover any over-allotments.  In addition, simultaneously with the consummation of its initial public offering, SCG issued and sold to the Sponsor warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 SCG Common Shares (the “Founder Warrants”) at a price of $0.75 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000.  The Founder Shares and the Founder Warrants were issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that they were issued to in a transaction not involving a public offering solely to accredited investors.

In connection with the Equity Commitment Letter and the Assignment Agreement, on February 8, 2013, DRW was issued 120,000 SCG Shares in consideration for DRW’s purchase of 2,354,450 Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter.  Such shares were issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that such shares were issued to in a transaction not involving a public offering solely to accredited investors.

On April 8, 2013, the Company issued to each of Donald R. Wilson, Jr. and Gregory H. Sachs warrants exercisable for 533,333 SCG Common Shares (the “Note Conversion Warrants”).  The Note Conversion Warrants were issued upon the conversion by each of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs of a Promissory Note issued by SCG to the Sponsor and in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000, which Promissory Note was subsequently assigned by the Sponsor to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sachs in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 each.  The conversion price of the Promissory Notes was $0.75 per Note Conversion Warrant.  The Note Conversion Warrants were issued in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that such warrants were issued to in a transaction not involving a public offering solely to accredited investors.


II-1



In consideration for the Term Loan A under the Junior Credit Agreement entered into by SCG on April 19, 2013, SCG issued to the Junior Credit Agreement Lenders an aggregate of 31,500 SCG Common Shares. In addition, on April 19, 2013 SCG also issued an aggregate of 31,500 SCG Common Shares to certain affiliates of Kayne Anderson Mezzanine Partners in consideration for the assistance of Kayne Anderson Mezzanine Partners in arranging and structuring the financing provided under the Junior Credit Agreement. All such shares were issued in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as such shares were issued to in a transaction not involving a public offering solely to a single accredited investor.

On April 19, 2013, SCG entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with DRW, pursuant to which DRW agreed to purchase 500,000 SCG Common Shares (the “DRW Shares”) at a price of $10 per share. The DRW Shares were issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as such shares were issued to in a transaction not involving a public offering solely to a single accredited investor.

Item 17.  Undertakings.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by the controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

SCG Financial Acquisition Corp.


Ladies and Gentlemen:


SCG Financial Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-188413) (the “ Registration Statement ”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”). The Registration Statement relates to the sale by the Company of up to an aggregate of [ ] shares (the Shares ) of the Company s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the Common Stock ) (including up to [ ] shares subject to the underwriter s over-allotment option).  We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement.


In connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and this opinion letter, we have examined, considered and relied upon the following documents (collectively, the “ Documents ”):


(i)

the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation ;

the Company’s bylaws;

the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto; and

(iv)

such other documents and matters of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the expression of the opinions contained herein.


In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed without investigation the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all Documents submitted to us as copies, and the veracity of the Documents.

Based upon the foregoing examination, and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that, when the Shares have been delivered to and paid for by the underwriter in the circumstances contemplated by the form of underwriting agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the issuance and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


The opinions expressed above are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware which includes the statutory provisions thereof as well as all applicable provisions of the Constitution of the State of Delaware and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws. Our opinion is rendered only with respect to laws, and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, which are currently in effect.


We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus comprising a part of the Registration Statement.

-25-





claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the IRC, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the IRC, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC) of the Borrowers and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrowers (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in the event any such representation is no longer accurate.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a " New Lending Office ").  In addition, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within twenty (20) days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender shall also comply with any certification, documentation, information or other reporting necessary to establish an exemption from withholding under FATCA and shall provide any other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent sufficient for the Borrowers and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.  Each U.S. Lender shall on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement deliver to each of Administrative Agent and the Borrowers a duly completed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.

(e)

The Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.09 to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any assignee, or Lender (or assignee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment to such assignee, or Lender (or assignee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d) above.

(f)

Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount that may thereafter accrue, would not require Administrative Agent, such Lender to disclose any information Administrative Agent or such Lender deems, in its sole discretion, to be confidential and would not, in the sole determination of Administrative Agent or such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(g)

If Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole judgment acting in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts or as to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.09, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event such Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section 2.09(g) shall not be construed to require any Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person or to alter its customary practices and procedures with respect to the administrative of taxes applied in a non-prejudicial manner.

Section 2.11

Illegality .

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market the funds with which to make such Loans, (i) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and SCG thereof, (ii) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to continue LIBOR Loans as such shall forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent that the condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (iii) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law to Base Rate Loans.  

Section 2.12

(a)

the Borrowers may obtain, at Borrowers' expense, a replacement Lender (" Replacement Lender ") for such Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.  In the event Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender that will purchase all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of SCG's intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06, provided that the Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for any LIBOR Breakage Fee pursuant to Section 2.06(c) (as though such payment constituted a prepayment) and any processing and recordation fee payable pursuant to Section 10.06(b) and, in any case where such replacement occurs as the result of a demand for payment pursuant to Section 2.08, paid all amounts required to be paid to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.08 through the date of such sale and assignment; or

(b)

the Borrowers may prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender (without the requirement of payment of any prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or any LIBOR Breakage Fee pursuant to Section 2.06(c)).  The Borrowers shall, within ninety (90) days following notice of their intention to do so, prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender (including, in any case where such prepayment occurs as the result of a demand for payment for increased costs, such Affected Lender's increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such prepayment).

Joint Enterprise .  Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers' business most efficiently and economically.  Borrowers' business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group.  Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage.  Borrowers acknowledge that Administrative Agent's and Lenders' willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers' request.

SCG hereby accepts the appointment by each Loan Party hereunder to act as its agent and attorney-in-fact.

(v)

Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication delivered by SCG on behalf of any Borrower or other Loan Party.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower or other Loan Party hereunder to SCG on behalf of such Borrower or Loan Party.  Each of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with SCG for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by SCG shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

(e)

Any assignment or sale of all or part of a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s).  Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Administrative Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(f)

Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Loans made by it; provided, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 8.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document); and (iv) the sale of a participation to any Loan Party, any holder of Subordinated Indebtedness or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Loans as if it was a Lender; provided any participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States which participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with Section 2.09(d) as if it were a "Lender" thereunder except such participant shall only be required to deliver any tax forms to the Administrative Agent and the Lender which sold such participant its participation herein. In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (the " Participant Register ").  A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide).  The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(g)

Any participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States which participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with Section 2.09(d) as if it were a "Lender" thereunder except such participant shall only be required to deliver any tax forms to the Lender which sold such participant its participation herein.

(h)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.06 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(ii)     The outstanding balance under the Term Loan B Facility (including Deferred Interest) will bear interest (computed daily until paid in immediately available funds, whether prior to or after the Termination Date) at a fixed rate equal to the greater of (x) sixteen percent (16%) per annum and (y) in any Fiscal Quarter in which the aggregate interest rate on any tranche or facility in the Senior Debt (the “ Highest Senior Rate ”) is greater than twelve percent (12%) per annum, the Highest Senior Rate plus four percent (4%) per annum (to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law) (as applicable, the “ Applicable Fixed Interest Rate ”).

Accordingly, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Person limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Person, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay such Person interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“ Maximum Lawful Rate ”); provided , that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of applicable Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this subsection) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Amounts paid to the Administrative Agent (for its own account) or to any Lender in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be credited by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the Borrower).


(ii)     For purposes of this Section, the term “ applicable law ” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrowers on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including such Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(g)     If Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole judgment acting in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts or as to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.09, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event such Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.09(g) shall not be construed to require any Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person or to alter its customary practices and procedures with respect to the administrative of taxes applied in a non-prejudicial manner.

Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Administrative Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Loans as if it was a Lender; provided any participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States which participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with Section 2.09(d) as if it were a “Lender” thereunder except such participant shall only be required to deliver any tax forms to the Administrative Agent and the Lender which sold such participant its participation herein. In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “ Participant Register ”). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned such terms in Section 9 hereof.


WHEREAS, the Company is party to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 1, 2013 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among the Company, SCG Financial Merger III Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“ Merger Sub ”), Symon Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Target ”) and Golden Gate Capital Investment Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Target Holders thereunder, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Target, with Target being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company (the “ Merger ”);


WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the Company is entering into that certain Junior Credit Facility Agreement (the “ Credit Agreement ”) by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, and Plexus Fund II, L.P., as administrative agent for the lenders thereunder;


WHEREAS, following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the Stockholders will own 63,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, allocated as set forth on Schedule A hereto; and


WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the Stockholders with the rights set forth in this Agreement.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:


1.              Demand Registrations .


(a)         Requests for Registration . The holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all (but not less than all) of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any successor form, or if such form is not then available to the Company, Form S-1 (a “ Demand Registration ”), which may if so requested be a “shelf” registration under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. A request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered. Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery of the Company’s notice.


(b)         Number . The holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request (i) one (1) Demand Registration in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses and (ii) an unlimited number of Demand Registrations in which the holders of Registrable Securities shall pay their share of the Registration Expenses as set forth in Section 5 hereof. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make Demand Registrations on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities.


(c)         Priority on Demand Registration . Except for shares of Common Stock required to be included pursuant to the piggyback registration rights under the Other Registration Rights Agreements, the Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration. If a Demand Registration relates to an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within the price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the requesting Registrable Securities, without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder.


(d)         Selection of Underwriters . With respect to a request for registration pursuant to Section 1(a) which is for an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall be chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and approved by the Company (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b)        Piggyback Expenses . The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations.


(c)         Priority on Primary Registrations . If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Other Registration Rights Agreements which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, (iii) third, the securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Agreement which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration.


(d)         Priority on Secondary Registrations . If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration, and the managing underwriters advise such party and the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to such party and the Company, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities (if any) the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Other Registration Rights Agreements which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, (iii) third, the securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Agreement which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration.


(e)         Selection of Underwriters . If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering, the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering shall be approved by the Company.

6.              Indemnification .


(a)        The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (or incorporated by reference therein) any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or was caused by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.


(b)        In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall indemnify the other sellers of securities included in such registration and the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (or incorporated by reference therein) the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements herein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder.

 

 

 

(c)        Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in the Company’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Company a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.


(d)        The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.


(e)        If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant the registered offering of securities as to which indemnity is sought but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the obligation to contribute shall be individual, not joint and several, for each contributing party and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such contributing party from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the Company bear to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether such untrue or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.


7.              Participation in Underwritten Registrations . No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof.

This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of April 19, 2013 by and between SCG Financial Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and DRW Commodities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Stockholder ”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned such terms in Section 10 hereof.


WHEREAS, the Stockholder acquired 2,354,450 shares of Common Stock (the “ Equity Commitment Shares ”) pursuant to an Equity Commitment Letter, dated December 14, 2012, by and between 2012 DOOH Investments LLC and the Company (the “ Equity Commitment Letter ”), which Equity Commitment Letter was subsequently assigned by 2012 DOOH Investments LLC to the Stockholder pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated January 8, 2013;


WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 11, 2013 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among the Company, SCG Financial Merger II Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“ Merger Sub ”), Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (“ Target ”) and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Target Holders thereunder, Merger Sub merged with and into Target, with Target continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ Merger ”);


WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 11, 2013, the Company commenced an offer to purchase at a price of $10.00 per share all of the outstanding shares of its Common Stock issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “ Tender Offer ”);


WHEREAS, pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter and the Assignment Agreement, the Company agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Stockholder, no later than the date of the consummation of the Tender Offer, providing for demand and piggyback registration rights covering all of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Stockholder; and


WHEREAS, the Tender Offer expired on April 5, 2013, and such consummation of the Tender Offer resulted in the valid tender of 4,551,228 shares of Common Stock, which shares were accepted by the Company for purchase and payment therefor.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Stockholder hereby agree as follows:


1.      Demand Registrations .


(a)      Requests for Registration . At any time, and from time to time, following the date hereof, the Stockholder may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any successor form, or if such form is not then available to the Company, Form S-1 (a “ Demand Registration ”), which may if so requested be a “shelf” registration under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, or if Rule 415 is not available for offers or sales of the Registrable Securities, for such other means of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Stockholder may specify. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, (i) Form S-3 is not available to the Company and (ii) until Form S-3 is available to the Company, Form S-1 shall be expressly permitted for any Demand Registration hereunder. A request for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered.


(b)      Number; Minimum Registration Amount . The Stockholder shall be entitled to request (i) up to three (3) Demand Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses and (ii) an unlimited number of Demand Registrations in which the Stockholder shall pay the Registration Expenses (except to the extent that such Registration Expenses relate to the inclusion of any securities included in such registration pursuant to paragraph (c) below). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make Demand Registrations on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities. In no event will the Company be required to effect a Demand Registration unless the aggregate market value of the shares proposed to be registered (based on the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the date prior to the applicable Demand Registration notice) is at least $1,000,000.


(c)      Priority on Demand Registration . Except for shares of Common Stock required to be included pursuant to the piggyback registration rights under the Other Registration Rights Agreements, the Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Stockholder. If a Demand Registration relates to an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within the price range acceptable to the Stockholder without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration the maximum number of Registrable Securities and such other securities requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, with such number to be allocated first , and prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities, to the Registrable Securities.

 

 

 

(d)      Selection of Underwriters . With respect to a request for registration pursuant to Section 1(a) which is for an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall be chosen by the Stockholder and approved by the Company (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).


2.      Piggyback Registrations .


(a)      Right to Piggyback . Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form) on any form (other than Form S-4 or Form S-8) that would legally permit the registration of Registrable Securities (a “ Piggyback Registration ”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing of the registration statement relating to such registration) to the Stockholder of its intention to effect such a registration and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within twenty (20) calendar days after the delivery of the Company’s notice.


(b)      Piggyback Expenses . The Registration Expenses shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations.


(c)      Priority on Primary Registrations . If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Registration Rights Agreements which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.


(d)      Priority on Secondary Registrations . If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration, and the managing underwriters advise such party and the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to such party, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Registration Rights Agreements which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.


(e)      Selection of Underwriters . If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering, the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering shall be approved by the Company.


3.      Other Registrations . If the Company has previously filed a registration statement pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Registration Rights Agreement, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company shall not file or cause to be effected (and shall not be required to file or cause to be effected under this Agreement) any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least ninety (90) days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.


4.      Market Standoff Agreement .


The Company (i) shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven (7) days prior to and during the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree, and (ii) shall cause each executive officer and director of the Company and each holder of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Common Stock, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of any such securities during such period (except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree.

7.      Indemnification .


(a)     The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Stockholder, its officers, directors, partners, managers, members, investment managers, employees, affiliates, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Stockholder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (or incorporated by reference therein) any registration statement, free writing prospectus, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, filing under any state securities (or blue sky) law or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Stockholder expressly for use therein, (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement, or (iii) any breach or violation of this Agreement. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.


(b)     The Stockholder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless the other sellers of securities included in such registration, the Company, its and their directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company or such seller (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (or incorporated by reference therein) the registration statement, free writing prospectus, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements herein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished in writing by the Stockholder expressly for use therein; provided that the Stockholder shall be liable under this Section 7(b) (and otherwise) for only that amount as does not in the aggregate exceed the net proceeds to the Stockholder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


(c)     Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in the Company’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Company a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a full release from all liability with respect to such claim.

The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities to which the indemnifying party may be subject pursuant to the law.


(e)     If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided , however , that: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) of this Agreement; (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by the Stockholder shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by the Stockholder from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable registration statement, less the amount of any damages that the Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay in connection with such sale.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) for specific performance and for other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.


(d)      Amendments and Waivers . Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only upon the prior written consent of the Company and the Stockholder.

In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Stockholder are also for the benefit of and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities (as if the Stockholder), but only if such Registrable Securities are transferred in accordance with applicable securities law and if such assignee agrees to become a party to this Agreement and succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities acquired by such assignee by delivering to the Company an executed joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto.


(f)      Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
