Annual Report
The following discussion should be read together with the information contained in the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.
Overview
Prior to November 2006, AccessMedia's business model consisted of an online entertainment portal that charged users a monthly subscription fee. In November 2006, we decided to focus our efforts and resources related to building a user base. Because of this, we incorporated BIG, which focuses on building innovative products online and offering our community numerous content offerings. AccessMedia's business recently ceased when the last subscription ended, and we no longer had to support its website. In July 2007, we started to generate revenue from BIG. We are currently concentrating on building an increasing number of unique monthly visitors and repeat use of broadcaster.com by these visitors.
Highlights for the year ended 2007 consisted of:
†
We incurred a non-cash operating expense of $4,897,000 resulting from a partial impairment of our goodwill.
†
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123(R)"), effective July 1, 2006, resulting in a non-cash expense of $2,713,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007.
†
We released new innovative products such as iGrab, StudioPro, Videomail and BroadcasterLive.
†
With the sale of Houseplans which occurred on May 2, 2007, management's resources will be focused on growing our online business.
†
We completed the move of our headquarters from Northern California to Southern California.
†
We incurred a $1,398,000 charge for the write down of America's Biggest, Inc.'s assets.
Sale of Houseplans, Inc
On May 2, 2007, we sold 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Houseplans to Kransco Houseplans, LLC, for $8 million. The selling price is composed of $5 million in cash on closing and a note receivable of $3 million, paid in installments over a three year period. The note receivable consists of eight quarterly payments of $250,000 commencing on March 31, 2008, and a final payment of $1,000,000 payable on March 31, 2010. The note receivable bears interest at a rate of 5% and any accrued interest will be paid on each installment.
Acquisition of AccessMedia
We completed the acquisition of AccessMedia on June 1, 2006 pursuant to which we issued 14,500,000 shares of our common stock and agreed to issue up to an additional 17,500,000 shares of our common stock upon achievement of certain revenue milestones to the former shareholders of AccessMedia. The shares were issued to four limited liability companies controlled by Mr. Nolan Quan and to Mr. Michael Gardner. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, our Board of Directors amended the revenue milestone to include unique visitors with each visitor equal to $1.00. We accomplished the first milestone in the quarter ended December 31, 2006. In the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we accomplished the remaining four milestones.
In order to understand the issuance of the shares, the following chart depicts the number of shares issued to each person and when. Mr. Gardner controls Baytree Capital Associates, LLC which received fees relating to consulting and financial advisory services in connection with the acquisition. As required by a consulting agreement, we are required to issue Baytree 5% of all shares issued under the AccessMedia earn-out.

Mr. Quan's shares are held by four limited liability companies controlled by him.
Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor's understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed below.
Our significant accounting estimates are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The policies discussed immediately below, are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product or service has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting account is probable.
†
Revenues related to the display of advertisements on the Internet as impressions (the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users) are delivered, as long as no significant obligations remain at the end of the period. To the extent that significant obligations remain at the end of a period, the Company will defer recognition of the corresponding revenues until the remaining guaranteed amounts are achieved.
†
Revenues from the display of text-based links to the websites of our advertisers are recognized as the click-throughs (the number of times a user clicks on an advertiser's listing) occur.
†
Subscription revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period.
Impairment
We are required to annually review our goodwill to determine if we must recognize an impairment.
Property, equipment, intangible and certain other long-lived assets are amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management's estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenues. We account for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS 144, long-lived assets 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 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 by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, goodwill is being assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment. Our assessment of goodwill at June 30, 2007 indicated that an impairment charge of $4,897,000 will be taken related to the AccessMedia acquisition. At June 30, 2007, our balance sheet included $68,192,000 in goodwill remaining from the AccessMedia acquisition. In fiscal 2006, there was no charge to goodwill.
Stock Based Awards
On July 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense in the statement of operations for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company's previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach for financial reporting. We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
The following table sets forth our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2007 and the one month ended June 30, 2006 in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues. It also details the changes from the prior fiscal year in absolute dollars and in percentages. We include the one month period because we only owned AccessMedia for one month in fiscal 2006. We are not required to report the results of operations of businesses we sold in 2006 and 2007. See "Discontinued Operations."

With the sale of Houseplans, we have two operating subsidiaries. AccessMedia operates our subscription model and BIG operates our free model. AccessMedia generated revenues of $6,913,000 and $945,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 and the one month ended June 30, 2006. Revenues include software sales, Internet media advertising sales and the sale of text-based Internet links. Sales of downloaded products are recognized ratably over the term of the license sold. Sales of advertisements are recognized upon the delivery of the impressions guaranteed. Sales of click-throughs are recognized upon delivery of the click-throughs guaranteed. BIG, which operates our free entertainment portal, began generating revenues in August 2007.
Related Person Expenses
During the year ended June 30, 2007, we incurred expenses of $1,580,000 related to services provided by Alchemy, which is controlled by Mr. Nolan Quan, one of our principal shareholders. These expenses and other related person expenses are reflected in each of the expense categories which follow. Additionally, our balance sheet at June 30, 2007 contained $269,000 related to products and services provided by Alchemy. More specifically, this sum consisted of a prepaid license fee and computer equipment we purchased from Alchemy. Our balance sheet also reflected $294,000 owed to Alchemy for services rendered.
Gross Margin
Our consolidated gross margin was $3,961,000 and $519,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, and the one month ended June 30, 2006, respectively. In fiscal 2008, BIG will generate revenues and include cost of sales charges related to gaining users.
AccessMedia's cost of revenues consists of costs related to the products and services AccessMedia provides to customers. These costs include materials, salaries and related expenses for product support personnel, depreciation and maintenance of equipment used in providing services to customers and facilities expenses. During the year ended June 30, 2007, cost of sales expenses included $612,000 related to services provided by Alchemy.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses were $7,562,000 and $428,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 and the one month ended June 30, 2006. This was principally due to the launch of BIG.
Sales and marketing expense for BIG consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for sales, support and marketing personnel, commissions, costs and expenses for customer acquisition programs and referrals, a portion of facilities expenses and depreciation and amortization of equipment. BIG's expense levels have increased because of staffing and costs involved in testing and prototyping BIG's programs for selling its software, advertising and text-based links. BIG anticipates that the percentage of sales and marketing expense will decrease due to BIG's generation of revenues starting in July 2007; costs that were allocated to sales and marketing in fiscal 2007 will now be allocated to costs of sales in fiscal 2008. This change is due to BIG's switch from building an audience only to building an audience and generating revenues.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, sales and marketing expenses included $30,000 related to services provided by Alchemy Communications, a company controlled by Mr. Nolan Quan, one of our principal stockholders.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for administrative, finance, legal, human resources and executive personnel, fees for professional services and costs of accounting and internal control systems to support its operations. Expenses have increased primarily due to the addition of personnel in management and administration to support the increasing activity levels and as a result of amortization of assets acquired during 2007. Additionally, the adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in a non-cash expense of $2,713,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. We expect we will incur approximately $631,000 of non-cash stock option expense in fiscal 2008 related to the fair value of options unvested at June 30, 2007.
We anticipate that general and administrative expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars as BIG builds its management team and hires additional administrative personnel and incurs increased costs such as professional fees. BIG expects to secure a number of services from a related party (Alchemy) at a market rate.
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for research and development employees and payments to independent contractors, mainly our third party contract development teams.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, research and development expenses included $739,000 related to services provided by Alchemy.
Interest and Other, Net
Interest and other, net, was a net gain of $336,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This was due to an increase in cash balances and a reduction in debt obligations resulting from the deployment of proceeds from the sale of Precision Design and Houseplans. Our interest expenses included $69,000 related to a loan from Mr. Nolan Quan.
Provision for State and Federal Income Taxes
We recorded income tax benefit of $1,085,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The tax benefit for the year ended June 30, 2007 primarily represented the release of deferred tax provision on amortization of intangible assets.
We have not recorded a tax benefit for domestic tax losses because of the uncertainty of realization. We adhere to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Consistent with our past practice, we have recorded a full valuation allowance at June 30, 2007 as the realizability of our net operating loss carry-forwards is not determinable.
Net Loss
Net loss of $19,993,000 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 included $2,713,000 of stock option expense, $4,897,000 of impairment and $1,403,000 of asset write downs. Without these, the net loss would have been $11,156,000.
Discontinued Operations
Sale of Precision Design
In June 2006, we sold Precision Design, our legacy software business as part of our overall strategy to position the Company solely as an online business. We received a combination of $6.5 million in cash which $0.5 million was deposited in an escrow to back our representations and warranties in the sale Agreement, and an interest free note of $1.5 million which was paid in full on July 3, 2006. The escrow was released during the quarter. Included in the assets sold were the TurboCad and DesignCAD product lines as well as other design and personal productivity titles.
As a result of this sale, we have categorized the assets, liabilities and operations of the Precision Design as discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Sale of Houseplans
On May 2, 2007, we sold 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Houseplans to Kransco Houseplans, LLC, for $8 million. The selling price is composed of $5 million in cash on closing and a note receivable of $3 million, paid in installments over a three year period. The note receivable consists of eight quarterly payments of $250,000 commencing on March 31, 2008, and a final payment of $1,000,000 payable on March 31, 2010. The note receivable bears interest at a rate of 5% and any accrued interest will be paid on each installment. Houseplans' results of operations have been disclosed in discontinued operations on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Our operating activities during fiscal 2007 used net cash of $10.7 million. This compares to net cash used in operations of $2.7 million for the one month of fiscal 2006 on net income of $848,000 for the same period. Non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $3.1 million during fiscal 2007 (mainly relating to amortization expense incurred as a result of our acquisition strategy) is higher from fiscal 2006, which was $1.7 million.
As a result of the sale of Houseplans in fiscal 2007 and Precision Design in 2006, gain and loss from discontinued operations increased net cash from operations of $3.7 million in fiscal 2007 and decreased net cash used in operations by $6.0 million in fiscal 2006. The terms of the sale of Houseplans required that we take a promissory note for part of the purchase price. As a result of the note receivable, we used cash of $1.3 million compared to an increase of cash of $272,000 in fiscal 2006.
As we continue to build on the Broadcaster business model, we expect cash to be generated from subscription products and advertising.
Our investing activities provided net cash of $6.5 million during fiscal 2007 and of $13.7 million during fiscal 2006. The main sources of cash from investing were the sale of the Houseplans and Precision Design.
Our financing activities provided net cash of $1.0 million during fiscal 2007. This compares to $3.0 million of net cash used by financing activities during the previous fiscal year. The cash provided by our financing activities for fiscal 2007 was primarily related to payments received from option holders exercising their rights to acquire stock. The use of cash in fiscal 2006 was a repayment of notes payables.
Historically, we have financed our working capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from short-term and long-term notes and bank borrowings, capitalized leases and sales of common stock. The sale of Houseplans in 2007 and Precision Design in 2006 provided us with additional sources of funds to support future growth.
As of September 30, 2007, we had approximately $6,214,000 in cash and cash equivalents. This represents a $3,173,000 decrease from the $9,387,000 balance as of June 30, 2007.
To achieve our growth objectives, we are considering different strategies, including growth through mergers and/or acquisitions. As a result, we are evaluating and we will continue to evaluate other companies and businesses for potential synergies that would add value to our existing operations.
Notwithstanding our current negative cash flow, based on anticipated revenues, we expect we will have sufficient capital. However, if we do not meet our revenue targets or if we use our cash for acquisitions, we will require additional financing. We expect that any financing will be of common stock, convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, which will dilute our existing shareholders. We believe that we will be able to obtain any additional financing required on competitive terms particularly if we are successful in improving our financial performance. In addition, we will continue to seek opportunities and discussions with third parties concerning the sale or license of certain product lines and/or the sale or license of a portion of our assets.
We have no material commitments for capital expenditures except for those required to support the normal operating activities.
Material Balance Sheet Change
At June 30, 2007, our total intangible assets were approximately $81.3 million compared to approximately $42.5 million at June 30, 2006. This resulted from the issuance of 17,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the AccessMedia acquisition earn-out. The total shareholders' equity was approximately $84.3 million at June 30, 2007 compared to approximately $52.2 million at June 30, 2006, again resulting from the issuance of the earn-out shares, offset by the cumulated deficit increase from approximately $24.5 million at June 30, 2006 to approximately $44.5 million at June 30, 2007.
This Report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our future growth including the growth of our Social Video Network, completion of acquisitions which add value to our shareholders, our liquidity, our plans to launch a new subscription offering and our continuing to invest in existing new products and services.

Related Person Transactions
We receive services from Alchemy, a company controlled by Mr. Nolan Quan, one of our principal shareholders.
