The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Companys financial results are
impacted by the seasonality of the retail selling season and the timing of the release of new
titles. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at October 31, 2009 has been derived from
the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes for the year
ended October 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on January
29, 2010.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition.
The Company recognizes revenue upon the shipment of its products when:
(1) title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection
of related accounts receivable is probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street
date (the earliest date these products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these
products is not recognized prior to their street date. Some of the Companys software products
provide limited online features at no additional cost to the consumer. Such features have been
considered to be incidental to the Companys overall product offerings and an inconsequential
deliverable. Accordingly, the Company does not defer any revenue related to products containing
these limited online features. However, in instances where online features or additional
functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to the software product, such
characteristics are taken into account when applying the Companys revenue recognition policy.
6
In addition, some software products are sold exclusively as downloads of digital content for
which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue from product
downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all other
recognition criteria are met).
Inventory.
Inventory consists of finished goods valued at the lower of cost or market.
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees.
Software development costs include
development fees, in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers.
Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is
established and management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For
products for which proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development
cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to
software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and
development costs. Commencing upon a related products release capitalized software development
costs and license fees are amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of
current revenue to total projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected
marketable life of the product.
The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and license fees is usually
no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or revised
forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the charge
to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of
capitalized software development costs and license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the
expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate. When, in managements
estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, the
Company expenses these capitalized costs to cost of sales-software development costs and license
fees, in the period such a determination is made as a loss on impairment of software development
costs and license fees. These expenses may be incurred prior to a games release. If a game is
cancelled and never released to market, the amount is expensed to general and administrative
expenses as a loss on impairment of software development costs and license fees cancelled games.
As of July 31, 2010, the net carrying value of the Companys licenses and software development
costs was $5.5 million. If the Company was required to write off licenses, due to changes in market
conditions or product acceptance, its results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
On November 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 808,
Accounting for Collaborative
Arrangements
, which defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for
transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the
arrangement and third parties. The adoption of ASC Topic 808 did not have a significant impact on
our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three or nine months ended July 31, 2010.
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 or the disclosure of gain or
loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these
financial statements are the estimated provisions for price protection and customer allowances, the
valuation of inventory and the recoverability of advance payments for software development costs
and intellectual property licenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income (loss) Per Share.
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Basic income (loss) per share excludes the impact of unvested shares of restricted stock issued as
long term incentive awards to directors, officers and employees. Diluted income per share reflects
the potential impact of common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock and
outstanding common stock purchase warrants that have a dilutive effect. The table below provides a
reconciliation of basic and diluted average shares outstanding, after applying the treasury stock
method. In periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, the impact of common stock options and
unvested shares of restricted stock and outstanding common stock purchase warrants is
anti-dilutive.

The Company issued 163,949 and 279,131 shares of restricted stock grants during the three and
nine months ended July 31, 2010 and cancelled 199,736 and 221,720 shares during the same respective
periods. The Company issued 42,256 and 204,681 shares of restricted stock during the three and nine
months ended months ended July 31, 2009. During the current year, the Company also reserved 200,000
shares of common stock for stock purchase warrants, of which 40,000 were issued and 160,000 are
expected to be issued in the subsequent quarter in exchange for services. The Company values shares
of restricted stock grants at fair value as of the grant date. The Company used the Black-Scholes
method to value the warrants, assuming volatility ranging from 74.3% to 76.0%, a life of 4.5 to 5
years, and a cost of capital ranging from 1.6% to 2.6%.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Amendments to Variable Interest Entity Guidance In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance which requires an enterprise to determine whether its
variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has both (1)
the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts
the entitys economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could
potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from
the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The guidance also
now requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity. The guidance is effective at the start of a companys first fiscal year
beginning after November 15, 2009 (November 1, 2010 for the Company). The Company is still
evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its consolidated
financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements In October 2009, the FASB issued new guidance
related to the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new rules amend the
existing guidance for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and establish a
selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. These new rules will
become effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2011. The Company is still
evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its consolidated
financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements In October 2009, the FASB issued
new guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements by excluding tangible
products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the
products essential functionality and instead have these types of transactions be accounted for
under other accounting literature in order to determine whether the software and non-software
components function together to deliver the products essential functionality. These new rules will
become effective, on a prospective basis, for the Company on November 1, 2011. The Company is still
evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its consolidated
financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Fair Value In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to the Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 820-10 Measuring Liabilities at Fair Values (ASC 820-10). The update to ASC
820-10 requires disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements
and the reasons for the transfers, and a gross presentation of activity within the Level 3
rollforward, presenting separately information about purchases, sales issuances and settlements.
The update to ASC 820-10 was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010,
except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward which will be adopted by the Company
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
update to ASC 820-10, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Reclassifications.
For comparability, certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2010.
8
Commitments and Contingencies.
The Company records a liability for commitments and
contingencies when the amount is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.
3. FAIR VALUE
As of November 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance for Fair Value Measurements which establishes a
three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This
hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
|
|
|
|
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted
prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that
are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain
pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use
significant unobservable inputs.
|
The table below segregates all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on
a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the
inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

On September 5, 2007, the Company issued warrants in connection with a private placement of
its common stock. The warrants entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of 1,697,735 shares of
common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.04 per share and a term of five years, and
became exercisable six months from the issue date. The warrants contain a provision that may
require settlement by transferring assets under certain change of control circumstances. Therefore,
they are classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480
, Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.
The Company measures the fair value of the warrants at each balance sheet date, and records
the change in fair value as a non-cash charge or gain to earnings each period. The warrants were
valued at $214 and $626 at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively. The Company recorded a
non-cash gain of $183, and a non-cash charge of $843, due to the change in fair value of warrants
during the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, and a non-cash gain of $412, and a non-cash
charge of $1,858, due to the change in fair value of warrants during the nine months ended July 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes method to value the warrants,
assuming volatility ranging from 65.4% to 76.1%, a life of 2.6 to 5 years, and a cost of capital
ranging from 0.72% to 4.16%.
The following table is a rollforward of the fair value of the Warrants, as to which fair value
is determined by Level 3 inputs :

The carrying value of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, due from factor, and advances from customers are reasonable estimates of the fair
values because of their short-term maturity.
4. INCOME TAXES
In December 2009 and November 2008, the Company received proceeds of approximately $1,656 and
$1,115, respectively, from the sale of the rights to approximately $21,200 and $25,900,
respectively, of New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology
Business Tax Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.
After the transfer, the Company had approximately $32,000 of net operating loss carryforwards
remaining in the state of New Jersey. Net proceeds from the transfers have been recorded as an
income tax benefit during the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.
The
only federal income tax provision recorded by the Company was for alternative minimum taxes,
which amounts are not material. No other provision for income taxes has been recorded because the
Company has available net operating loss carryforwards to offset any taxable income.
5. DUE FROM (TO) FACTOR

10. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Commitments
At July 31, 2010, the Company was committed under agreements with certain developers and
licensors for future milestone, purchasing and license fee payments aggregating $3,335, which are
payable within one year from the balance sheet date. Milestone payments represent scheduled
installments due to the Companys developers based upon the developers providing the Company
certain deliverables, as predetermined in the Companys contracts. The milestone payments generally
represent advances against royalties to the developers. These payments will be used to reduce
future royalties due to the developers from sales of the Companys video games. The Company was
also committed to future minimum lease payments totaling $1,223 as of July 31, 2010.
The Company has entered into at will employment agreements with certain key executives.
These employment agreements include provisions for, among other things, annual compensation, bonus
arrangements and equity compensation. These agreements also contain provisions relating to
severance terms and change of control provisions.
11
11. WORKFORCE REDUCTION
During January 2010, Company management initiated a plan of restructuring to better align its
workforce to its revised operating plans. As part of the plan, the Company reduced its personnel
count by 16 employees, representing 17% of its workforce. Employees directly affected by the
restructuring plan received notification during the nine months ended July 31, 2010. The Company
recorded charges of approximately $403 in the first quarter of 2010 in connection with the
terminations, which consist primarily of severance and unused vacation payments. The expenses are
included in operating costs and expenses as shown in the table below:

12. RELATED PARTIES
The Company currently has an agreement with Morris Sutton, the Companys former Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman Emeritus, under which he provides services as a consultant. The
agreement provides for a monthly retainer of $13. Mr. Sutton was also eligible to receive a
commission in an amount equal to 2% of net sales to certain accounts before January 1, 2010.
Commissions were recorded when the sales occurred, but are not paid until payments of the related
accounts receivable are received from customers. Therefore, some of these payments will be made to
Mr. Sutton in 2010. Consulting expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 include $28 of fees
earned in each of November and December of 2008 under Mr. Suttons prior agreement which expired on
December 31, 2008.

31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively, due to the agreement with Morris Sutton.
The Company also has an agreement with a Board member to provide specified strategic
consulting services to the Company on a month-to-month basis at a monthly rate of $10. Under this
arrangement, fees earned through July 31, 2010 totaled $43. Business expenses related to these
services totaled $8 during this time.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical
are forward-looking information and statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements
regarding managements expectations, intentions, or strategies regarding future matters. All
forward-looking statements included in this document are based on available information as of the
date hereof. It is important to note that actual results
12
could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements contained in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on
current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.
Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments regarding among other things, the
Companys ability to secure financing or investment for capital expenditures, future economic and
competitive market conditions, and future business decisions. All these matters are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately, many of which may be beyond Majescos control. Although
management believes that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable,
any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the
forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be
accurate.
Overview
We are a provider of interactive entertainment products. We sell our products primarily to
large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video game rental outlets and distributors. We also
sell our products internationally, on a limited basis, through distribution agreements with other
publishers or licensing agreements. We have developed our retail and distribution network over our
24-year history.
We publish video game software for most major interactive entertainment hardware platforms,
including Nintendos Wii, DSi, and DS, Sonys PlayStation 3 (PS3) Sonys PlayStation 2 (PS2) and
PlayStation Portable, (PSP), Microsofts Xbox and Xbox 360, the personal computer (PC) and
other mobile devices.
Our video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points. In some
instances, these titles are based on licenses of well-known properties, and in other cases based on
original properties. We collaborate and enter into agreements with content providers and video game
development studios for the creation of the majority of our video games.
Our business model and product strategy is primarily focused on games with relatively lower
development costs for both console and handheld systems targeting mass market consumers. We
believe this strategy allows us to capitalize on our strengths and expertise while reducing some of
the cost and risk associated with publishing console titles for core gamers. We continue to publish
titles for popular handheld systems such as the DSI and PSP. We also publish software for
Nintendos Wii console, as we believe this platform allows us to develop games within our cost
parameters, while enabling us to reach mass market consumers. In addition, we continue to look
opportunistically for titles to publish on the PC and other home console systems. More recently,
SONY and Microsoft have announced the introduction of motion based controllers that appeal to mass
market consumers, and we have begun to develop games that utilize these new technologies. We also
have begun to develop games for the iPhone and social networks to reach our target demographic.
We license rights to intellectual property used in our video games from third parties and work
with third-party development studios to develop our own proprietary video game titles.
Our operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed
and sold domestically and internationally. The Company is centrally managed and our chief operating
decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and other financial
information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform
for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, we operate in a
single segment.
Net Revenues
. Our revenues are principally derived from sales of our video games. We provide
video games primarily for the mass market and casual game player. Our revenues are recognized net
of estimated reserves for price protection and other allowances.
Cost of Sales.
Cost of sales consists of product costs and amortization and impairment of
software development costs and license fees. A significant component of our cost of sales is
product costs. Product costs are comprised primarily of manufacturing and packaging costs of the
disc or cartridge media, royalties to the platform manufacturer and manufacturing and packaging
costs of peripherals. In cases where we act as a distributor for other publishers products, cost of
sales may increase as we acquire products at a higher fixed wholesale price. While the product
costs as a percentage of revenue is higher on these products, we do not incur upfront development
and licensing fees or resulting amortization of software development costs. Commencing upon the
related products release, capitalized software development and intellectual property license costs
are amortized to cost of sales. When, in managements estimate, future cash flows will not be
sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, we expense these capitalized costs to cost of
sales-loss on impairment of software development costs and license fees. These expenses may be
incurred prior to a games release.
13
Gross Profit.
Gross profit is the excess of net revenues over product costs and amortization
and impairment of software development and license fees. Development and license fees incurred to
produce video games are generally incurred up front and amortized to cost of sales. The recovery of
these costs and total gross profit is dependent upon achieving a certain sales volume, which varies
by title.
Product Research and Development Expenses.
Product research and development expenses relate
principally to our cost of supervision of third-party video game developers, testing new products
and conducting quality assurance evaluations during the development cycle as well as costs incurred
at our development studio, which was closed in 2009, that are not allocated to games for which
technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred are employee-related, may include
equipment, and are not allocated to cost of sales.
Selling and Marketing Expenses.
Selling and marketing expenses consist of marketing and
promotion expenses including television advertising, the cost of shipping products to customers and
related employee costs. A component of these expenses are credits to retailers for trade
advertising.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses primarily represent
employee-related costs, including corporate executive and support staff, general office expenses,
professional fees and various other overhead charges. Professional fees, including legal and
accounting expenses, typically represent the second largest component of our general and
administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a
publicly traded company, such as SEC filings.
Loss on Impairment of Software Development Costs and License Fees
Cancelled Games.
Loss on
impairment of software development costs and license fees cancelled games consists of contract
termination costs, and the write-off of previously capitalized costs, for games that were cancelled
prior to their release to market. We periodically review our games in development and compare the
remaining cost to complete each game to projected future net cash flows expected to be generated
from sales. In cases where we dont expect the projected future net cash flows generated from sales
to be sufficient to cover the remaining incremental cash obligation to complete the game, we cancel
the game, and record a charge to operating expenses. While we incur a current period charge on
these cancellations, we believe we are limiting the overall loss on a game project that is no
longer expected to perform as originally expected due to changing market conditions or other
factors. Significant management estimates are required in making these assessments, including
estimates regarding retailer and customer interest, pricing, competitive game performance, and
changing market conditions. Loss on impairment of software development costs and license fees
cancelled games was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, and
$0.3 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Interest and Financing Costs.
Interest and financing costs are directly attributable to our
factoring and our purchase-order financing arrangements.
Income Taxes
. Income taxes consists of our provision for income taxes and proceeds from the
sale of rights to certain net operating loss carryforwards in the state of New Jersey. Utilization
of our net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation
due to the change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may
result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Due to our history
of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset our NOL and other deferred tax assets
has been established under current accounting pronouncements, and this valuation allowance will be
maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.
Seasonality and Variations in Interim Quarterly Results
Our quarterly net revenues, gross profit, and operating income are impacted significantly by
the seasonality of the retail selling season, and the timing of the release of new titles. Sales of
our catalog and other products are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal
year (ending January 31 and October 31, respectively) due to increased retail sales during the
holiday season. Sales and gross profit as a percentage of sales also generally increase in quarters
in which we release significant new titles because of increased sales volume as retailers make
purchases to stock their shelves and meet initial demand for the new release. These quarters also
benefit from the higher selling prices that we are able to achieve early in the products life
cycle. Therefore, sales results in any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected
results for subsequent quarters during the fiscal year.
14
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) made the Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized the by the
FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretative releases of the FASB Codification did not
create any new GAAP standards but incorporated existing accounting and reporting standards into a
topical structure with a new referencing system to identify authoritative accounting standards,
replaced the prior references.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could
differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the
understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these
policies on our business operations is discussed throughout managements discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected
financial results.
Revenue Recognition.
We recognize revenue upon the shipment of our product when: (1) risks and
rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) we have
no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is
probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (the earliest date these
products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these products is not recognized prior
to their street date. Some of our software products provide limited online features at no
additional cost to the consumer. Generally, we have considered such features to be incidental to
our overall product offerings and an inconsequential deliverable. Accordingly, we do not defer any
revenue related to products containing these limited online features. However, in instances where
online features or additional functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to
the software product, such characteristics are taken into account when applying our revenue
recognition policy. In addition, some of our software products are sold exclusively as downloads of
digital content for which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue
from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all
other recognition criteria are met).
Reserves for Price Protection and Other Allowances.
We generally sell our products on a
no-return basis, although in certain instances, we provide price protection or other allowances on
certain unsold products in accordance with industry practices. Price protection, when granted and
applicable, allows customers a partial credit with respect to merchandise unsold by them. Revenue
is recognized net of estimates of these allowances. Sales incentives and other consideration that
represent costs incurred by us for assets or services received, such as the appearance of our
products in a customers national circular advertisement, are generally reflected as selling and
marketing expenses. We estimate potential future product price protection and other discounts
related to current period product revenue.
Our reserves for price protection and other allowances fluctuate over periods as a result of a
number of factors including analysis of historical experience, current sell-through of retailer
inventory of our products, current trends in the interactive entertainment market, the overall
economy, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products and other related factors.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with
establishing the allowance for returns and price protection in any accounting period. However,
actual allowances granted could materially exceed our estimates as unsold products in the
distribution channels are exposed to rapid changes in consumer preferences, market conditions,
technological obsolescence due to new platforms, product updates or competing products. For
example, the risk of requests for allowances may increase as consoles pass the midpoint of their
lifecycle and an increasing number of competitive products heighten pricing and competitive
pressures. While management believes it can make reliable estimates regarding these matters, these
estimates are inherently subjective. Accordingly, if our estimates change, this will result in a
change in our reserves, which would impact the net revenues and/or selling and marketing expenses
we report. For the three month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, we provided allowances for
future price protection and other allowances of $0.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For
the nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, we provided allowances for future price
protection and other allowances of $3.1 million for each period. The fluctuations in the provisions
reflected our estimates of future price protection based on the factors discussed above. We limit
our exposure to credit risk by factoring a portion of our receivables to a third party that buys
them without recourse. For receivables that are not sold without recourse, we analyze our aged
accounts receivables, payment history and other factors to make a determination if collection of
receivables is likely, or a provision for uncollectible accounts is necessary.
15
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees.
Software development costs include
development fees, in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers.
Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is
established and management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For
products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle.
Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software
development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development
costs. Commencing upon a related products release capitalized software development costs are
amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of current revenue to total
projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected marketable life of the product.
On November 1, 2009, we adopted ASC 808,
Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements
. ASC Topic
808 defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions
between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and
third parties. The adoption of ASC Topic 808 did not have a significant impact on our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three or nine months ended July 31, 2010.
License fees represent license fees to holders for the use of their intellectual property
rights in the development of our products. Minimum guaranteed royalty payments for intellectual
property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (capitalized license fees) and a current
liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the contract or
when specified milestones or events occur and when no significant performance commitment remains
with the licensor. Licenses are expensed to cost of sales at the higher of (i) the contractual
royalty rate based on actual sales or (ii) an effective rate based upon total projected revenue
related to such license.
Capitalized software development costs are classified as non-current if they relate to titles
for which we estimate the release date to be more than one year from the balance sheet date.
The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and license fees is usually
no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or revised
forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the charge
to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of
capitalized software development costs and license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the
expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate.
When, in managements estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously
capitalized costs, we expense these capitalized costs to cost of salesloss on impairment of
software development costs and license fees, in the period such a determination is made. These
expenses may be incurred prior to a games release. If a game is cancelled and never released to
market, the amount is expensed to operating costs and expenses-loss on impairment of capitalized
software development costs and license fees cancelled games. As of July 31, 2010, the net
carrying value of our licenses and software development costs was $5.5 million. If we were required
to write off licenses or software development costs, due to changes in market conditions or product
acceptance, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
License fees and milestone payments made to our third-party developers are typically
considered non-refundable advances against the total compensation they can earn based upon the
sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensation earned beyond the
milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.
Inventory.
Inventory, which consists principally of finished goods, is stated at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. We estimate the net
realizable value of slow-moving inventory on a title-by-title basis and charge the excess of cost
over net realizable value to cost of sales.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the
grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting
period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment,
including, in the case of stock option awards, estimating expected stock volatility. In addition,
judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be
forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation
expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
Commitments and Contingencies.
We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when
the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.

Results of operations
Three months ended July 31, 2010 versus three months ended July 31, 2009
Net Revenues.
Net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2010 decreased to $12.2 million
from $17.2 million in the comparable quarter last year. The $5.0 million decrease was primarily due
to decreased sales of $1.8 million from our European subsidiary and decreased revenues from newly
released titles. In December 2009, we reduced the size of our staff in Europe and began
transitioning from a direct distribution business model to a licensing model. While direct
distribution of our products generates relatively higher revenues than licensing, the operating
costs of the business resulted in operating losses. Therefore, we implemented a lower cost
licensing model. Our quarterly revenues are impacted significantly by the timing of new releases.
We had one major release during the three months ended July 31, 2010,
Tetris
for the Nintendo Wii
and Nintendo DS, while two major releases impacted our revenues during the same period in the prior
year,
Night at the Museum; Battle for the Smithsonian
for the Nintendo Wii and DS, and
Gardening
Mama
for the Nintendo DS.
Gardening Mama
was released during the quarter ended April 30, 2009.
However, strong re-orders had a significant impact on the subsequent quarters results.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2010 was $2.8 million compared
to a gross profit of $3.5 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross profit was
primarily attributable to the lower net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2010 discussed
above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 23% for the three months ended July 31, 2010
compared to 21% for the three months ended July 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit as a
percentage of sales was primarily attributable to the impact of two underperforming titles released
during the three months ended July 31, 2009. Product costs as a percentage of sales increased in
2010 as compared to 2009 while software amortization costs as a percentage of sales decreased. The
increased product costs as a percentage of sales in 2010 versus 2009 resulted from a 2010
distribution agreement under which the Company acted as a distributor purchasing finished goods at
a fixed wholesale price at a higher percentage of sales. While the product costs as a percentage of
revenue is higher on these products, we do not incur upfront development and licensing fees or
resulting amortization of software development costs.
Product Research and Development Expenses.
Research and development costs decreased $0.5
million to $0.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2010, from $1.2 million for the
comparable period in 2009. The decrease primarily resulted from the elimination of $0.4 million
expenses related to our development studio. After evaluation of the studios performance, and
changes in the availability and cost of development with our third-party partners, we reduced the
number of personnel at the studio in the second half of 2009 and incurred approximately $0.2
million in severance and lease termination costs during the three months ending July 31, 2009.
Selling and Marketing Expenses.
Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $1.6
million for the three months ended July 31, 2010 compared to $4.2 million for the three months
ended July 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower advertising media costs. During the
three months ended July 31, 2009 we ran several television and internet advertising campaigns, the
largest expenditures related to the introduction of our
Go Play
and
Night at the Museum
releases.
After analyzing the costs and benefits of these advertising programs, we decided to reduce our
media-related expenditures for the three months ended July 31, 2010.
General and Administrative Expenses.
For the three month period ended July 31, 2010, general
and administrative expenses were $2.0 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from $2.2 million in the
comparable period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decreased salaries and office
expenses. General and administrative expenses include $0.4 million of non-cash compensation
expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
17
Operating Loss.
Operating loss for the three months ended July 31, 2010 was approximately $1.7
million, a decrease of $2.5 million from $4.2 million in the comparable period in 2009. As
discussed above, decreased revenues and gross profits during the three months ended July 31, 2010
were more than offset by decreased operating expenses during the same period.
Interest and Financing Costs, Net.
Interest and financing costs were approximately $0.1
million for the three months ended July 31, 2010 compared to $0.2 million for the three months
ended July 31, 2009. The decrease was due to decreased factoring fees resulting from lower sales.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants.
On September 5, 2007, we issued warrants in connection with
an equity financing. The warrants contain a provision that may require settlement by transferring
assets. Therefore, they are recorded at fair value as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480
,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
.
We recorded a gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2010, which reflected
the decrease in the fair value of the warrants during the period, compared to a charge of $0.8
million for the three months ended July 31, 2009, which reflected an increase in the fair value of
warrants during the period.
Income Taxes.
For the three months ended July 31, 2009, we reversed $0.1 million of our
provision for alternative minimum taxes recorded in the first quarter. We recorded no additional
income tax benefit because realization of our net operating loss carryforwards was not deemed more
likely than not.
Net Loss.
Net loss for the three months ended July 31, 2010 was $1.6 million compared to $5.2
million for the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As discussed above,
decreased revenues and gross profits were more than offset by decreased operating expenses related
to the closing of our development studio and decreased advertising expenses.
Nine months ended July 31, 2010 versus nine months ended July 31, 2009
Net Revenues.
Net revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 decreased to $52.3 million
from $70.6 million in the comparable period last year. The $18.3 million decrease was primarily due
to decreased sales of games for the Nintendo Wii console. In October 2008, we released two games
for the Wii platform,
Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum
, and
Cooking Mama: World Kitchen
. The
success of these games, during a time of rapid growth for the Wii platform resulted in significant
sales during the 2008 holiday selling season, and reorders thereafter, which is reflected in our
results for the nine months ended July 31, 2009. Comparatively, while we did release a sequel to
the Jillian Michaels game,
Jillian Michaels: Resolution,
for the 2009 holiday season, its revenues
were substantially lower than the previous years title, primarily due to similar titles introduced
by other publishers at the same time. Also, we did not release a
Cooking Mama
title for Nintendo
Wii during the nine months ended July 31, 2010, which contributed to a decline in revenue from our
Cooking Mama
products, and total net revenues. In addition, the market for Wii games has become
more competitive as the platform has matured, and the number of games for the consumer to choose
from has increased.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $14.6 million compared
to a gross profit of $22.1 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross profit was
attributable to: (i) the lower net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2010 discussed
above; (ii) an increase in impairment of capitalized software development and license costs of $1.0
million; and (iii) a decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Impairment of
capitalized software development and license costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2010
consisted of the write-down of games in development for the Nintendo Wii for which, given current
market conditions for games on this platform, projected net cash flows expected to be generated
from sales are lower than the capitalized software development costs and capitalized royalties
required to publish the games. Impairment of capitalized software development and license costs for
the nine months ended July 31, 2009 consisted of the write-off of capitalized costs incurred in our
development studio related to a game for the Nintendo DS, for which costs were not expected to be
recovered through future cash flows due to budget over-runs in development of the game. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales, excluding the impact of the impairment of software development
costs and license fees was 30% for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 compared to 31% for the nine
months ended July 31, 2009. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily
attributable to a lower average selling price for Wii products during the nine months ended July
31, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in 2009. We attribute the decrease in average
selling price to increased competitiveness in the Wii marketplace as the console matures. Gross
profit as a percentage of sales, including the impact of impairment of software development costs
and license fees was 28% for the nine months ended July 31, 2010, compared to 31% for the nine
months ended July 31, 2009.
Product Research and Development Expenses.
Product research and development expenses decreased
$1.5 million to $2.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010, from $3.9 million for the
comparable period in 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of expenses related to our
development studio. After evaluation of the studios performance, and changes in the availability
and cost of
18
development with our third-party partners, we reduced the number of personnel at the studio in
the second half of 2009. Additionally, approximately $0.4 million was expensed for a video game
technology project that was terminated during the nine months ended July 31, 2009.
Selling and Marketing Expenses.
Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $6.2
million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 compared to $11.6 million for the nine months ended
July 31, 2009. The $5.4 million decrease was primarily due to lower advertising media costs of
approximately $4.0 million, lower shipping and commission expense related to lower sales and lower
international selling costs due to the Companys change in its international business model. During
the nine months ended July 31, 2009 we ran several television and internet advertising campaigns.
After analyzing the costs and benefits of these programs, we decided to reduce our media-related
expenditures during the nine months ended July 31, 2010. In addition, during the nine months ended
July 31, 2010, we reduced sales and production staff in the U.S., and sales staff in the United
Kingdom, related to the termination of our direct distribution strategy in Europe. In total, we
incurred a total of $0.4 million in severance costs related to the staff reductions during the nine
months ended July 31, 2010, classified as follows: (i) Product Research and Development Expenses of
$0.1 million; (ii) Selling and Marketing Expenses of $0.2 million; and (iii) General and
Administrative expenses of $0.1 million. Selling and Marketing expense as a percentage of net sales
was approximately 12% for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 compared to 16% for the nine months
ended July 31, 2009.
General and Administrative Expenses.
For the nine month period ended July 31, 2010, general
and administrative expenses were $6.4 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $6.7 million in the
comparable period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation expenses relating
to our incentive compensation program. This incentive program is primarily based on net income
generated by the Company. General and administrative expenses include $1.3 million of non-cash
compensation expenses for each of the nine month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009. Non cash
compensation expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 included approximately $0.1 million of
expense related to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock upon termination of an employee.
Settlement of Litigation Charges.
Settlement of litigation charges for the nine months ended
July 31, 2009 represents the change in fair value since October 31, 2008 of one million shares of
common stock that were to be issued in settlement of our class action securities litigation. The
shares were issued in March of 2009.
Operating Loss.
Operating loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was approximately $0.8
million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $1.1 million in the comparable period in 2009. As
discussed above, decreased revenues and gross profits during the nine months ended July 31, 2010
were partially offset by decreased operating expenses during the same period.
Interest and Financing Costs, Net.
Interest and financing costs were approximately $0.7
million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 compared to $0.9 million for the nine months ended
July 31, 2009. The decrease was due to lower factoring fees resulting from lower sales.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants.
On September 5, 2007, we issued warrants in connection with
an equity financing. The warrants contain a provision that may require settlement by transferring
assets. Therefore, they are recorded at fair value as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480
,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
.
We recorded a gain of $0.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010, reflecting the
decrease in the fair value of the warrants during the period, compared to a charge of $1.9 million
for the nine months ended July 31, 2009, reflecting an increase in the fair value of warrants
during the period.
Income Taxes.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, income taxes consisted of a tax benefit
of $1.6 million related to the sale of the rights to certain New Jersey state net operating loss
carryforwards.
19
We recorded no provision for income taxes other than alternative minimum taxes because our net
operating loss carryforwards exceeded our taxable income.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, income taxes were comprised of a provision for
alternative minimum taxes of $0.1 million, and a tax benefit of $1.1 million related to the sale of
the rights to certain New Jersey state net operating loss carryforwards. We recorded no provision
for income taxes other than alternative minimum taxes because our net operating loss carryforwards
exceeded our taxable income.
In December 2009 and November 2008, we received proceeds of approximately $1.6 million and
$1.1 million, respectively, from the sale of the rights to approximately $21.2 million and $25.9
million of New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology Business
Tax Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. After the
transfer, we have approximately $32.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards remaining in the
state of New Jersey. Net proceeds have been recorded as an income tax benefit during each of the
nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net Income.
Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $0.6 million, an increase
of $3.3 million from a net loss of $2.7 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2009. The
increase was primarily due to the decreased operating income discussed above, partially offset by
increased gains related to the change in fair value of warrants and sale of net operating losses
discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generated net income of $0.6 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2010. However, our
operating results vary significantly from period to period. On an annual basis, we generated a net
loss of $7.2 million in 2009, net income of $3.4 million in 2008, and a net loss of $4.8 million in
2007. Historically, we have funded our operating losses through sales of our equity and use of our
purchase order financing and factor arrangements to satisfy seasonal working capital needs. We
raised approximately $5.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of our equity securities in
September 2007, and approximately $8.6 million in September 2009.
Our current plan is to fund our operations through product sales. However, we may be required
to modify that plan, or seek outside sources of financing if our operating plan and sales targets
are not met. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at
all. In the event that we are unable to negotiate alternative financing, or negotiate terms that
are acceptable to us, we may be forced to modify our business plan materially, including reductions
in game development and other expenditures. Based on our current operating plan, level of cash on
hand and working capital financing arrangements, management believes it can operate under the
existing level of financing for at least one year. Additionally, we are dependent on our purchase
order financing and account receivable factoring agreement to finance our working capital needs,
including the purchase of inventory. However, if the current level of financing was reduced or we
fail to meet our operational objectives, it could create a material adverse change in the business.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $10.5 million as of July 31, 2010. We expect
continued fluctuations in the use and availability of cash due to the seasonality of our business,
timing of receivables collections and working capital needs necessary to finance our business and
growth objectives through at least the next year.
To satisfy our liquidity needs, we factor our receivables. We also utilize purchase order
financing through the factor and through a finance company to provide funding for the manufacture
of our products. In connection with these arrangements, the finance company and the factor have a
security interest in substantially all of our assets.
Under our factoring agreement, we have the ability to take cash advances against accounts
receivable and inventory of up to $20.0 million, and the availability of up to $2.0 million in
letters of credit. The factor, in its sole discretion, can reduce the availability of financing at
anytime. At July 31, 2010, we had approximately $5.8 million in outstanding advances from our
factor with an additional $1.4 million available to us for advances under the agreement. In
addition, we have $10.0 million of availability for letters of credit and purchase order financing
with a finance company, of which $0.4 million was utilized at July 31, 2010.
Factoring and Purchase Order Financing.
As mentioned above, to provide liquidity, we take
advances from our factor and utilize purchase order financing to fund the manufacturing of our
products.
Under the terms of our factoring agreement, we sell our accounts receivable to the factor. The
factor, in its sole discretion, determines whether or not it will accept the credit risk associated
with a receivable. If the factor does not accept the credit risk on a receivable, we may sell the
accounts receivable to the factor while retaining the credit risk. In both cases we surrender all
rights and control over the receivable to the factor. However, in cases where we retain the credit
risk, the amount can be charged back to us in the case of non-payment by the customer. The factor
is required to remit payments to us for the accounts receivable purchased from us,
20
provided the customer does not have a valid dispute related to the invoice. The amount
remitted to us by the factor equals the invoiced amount, adjusted for allowances and discounts we
have provided to the customer, less factor charges of 0.45 to 0.5% of the invoiced amount.
In addition, we may request that the factor provide us with cash advances based on our
accounts receivable and inventory. The factor may either accept or reject our request for advances
at its discretion. Generally, the factor allowed us to take advances in an amount equal to 70% of
net accounts receivable, plus 60% of our inventory balance, up to a maximum of $2.5 million of our
inventory balance. Occasionally the factor allows us to take advances in excess of these amounts
for short-term working capital needs. These excess amounts are typically repaid within a 30-day
period. At July 31, 2010, we had no excess advances outstanding.
Amounts to be paid to us by the factor for any accounts receivable are offset by any amounts
previously advanced by the factor. The interest rate is prime plus 1.5%, annually, subject to a
5.5% floor. In certain circumstances, an additional 1.0% annually is charged for advances against
inventory.
Manufacturers require us to present a letter of credit, or pay cash in advance, in order to
manufacture the products required under a purchase order. We utilize letters of credit either from
a finance company or our factor. The finance company charges 1.5% of the purchase order amount for
each transaction for 30 days, plus administrative fees. Our factor provides purchase order
financing at a cost of 0.5% of the purchase order amount for each transaction for 30 days.
Additional charges are incurred if letters of credit remain outstanding in excess of the original
time period and/or the financing company is not paid at the time the products are received. When
our liquidity position allows, we will pay cash in advance instead of utilizing purchase order
financing. This results in reduced financing and administrative fees associated with purchase order
financing.
Advances from Customers.
On a case by case basis, distributors and other customers have agreed
to provide us with cash advances on their orders. These advances are then applied against future
sales to these customers. In exchange for these advances, we offer these customers beneficial
pricing or other considerations.
Contingencies and Commitments.
We do not currently have any material commitments with respect
to any capital expenditures.
As of July 31, 2010, we had no open letters of credit for inventory purchases to be delivered
during the subsequent quarter.
We are committed under agreements with certain developers and content providers for milestone
and license fee payments aggregating $3.3 million, which are payable within the next 12 months. We
have also committed approximately $0.8 million, secured by purchase orders, for game related
hardware for future releases.
As of July 31, 2010, we were committed under operating leases for office space for
approximately $1.2 million through January 31, 2015.
At times, we may be a party to routine claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such routine
claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, and
results of operations or liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of July 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $10.5 million as of July 31, 2010 compared to $11.8 million at
October 31, 2009. Working capital as of July 31, 2010 was $13.2 million compared to $11.8 million
at October 31, 2009.
Operating Cash Flows.
Our principal operating source of cash is from the sales of our
interactive entertainment products. Our principal operating uses of cash were for payments
associated with third-party developers of our software, costs incurred to manufacture, sell and
market our video games and general and administrative expenses.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, we generated approximately $4.6 million in cash flow
from operating activities, compared to $2.5 million in the previous year. The increase in cash
provided by operating activities was primarily due to decreased
21
cash used for working capital resulting from decreased inventory and a reduction in
receivables from a seasonally higher balance at October 31, 2009, offset by reduced accounts
payable and accrued expenses.
Investing Cash Flows.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended July 31,
2010 and 2009 were primarily related to purchases of computer equipment and leasehold improvements.
Financing Cash Flows.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended July 31,
2010 and 2009 consisted primarily of cash used to reduce outstanding borrowings under our purchase
order financing agreement, which was used to finance seasonal inventory purchases.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief
Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the
period covered by this report.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
While we believe our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over
financial reporting are adequate, no system of controls can prevent errors and fraud. A control
system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur. Controls
can also be circumvented by individual acts of some people, by collusion of two or more people, or
by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of
compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Subject to the limitations above, management believes that the consolidated financial
statements and other financial information contained in this report, fairly present in all material
respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our
Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective at a
reasonable assurance level.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY
Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
Warrant No.:
CA-001
Number of Shares of Common Stock: 100,000
Date of Issuance: March 29, 2010 (
Issuance Date
)
Majesco Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (the
Company
), hereby certifies that,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Gerald A. Amato, the registered holder hereof or his permitted assigns (the
Holder
), is entitled,
subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as
defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including
any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the
Warrant
), (a) at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New
York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below) (such period, the
Initial Exercise Period
),
40,000 (Forty Thousand) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the
Immediately Exercisable Warrant Shares
), and (b) at any time or times on or after September 29,
2010, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (such period, the
Subsequent
Exercise Period
) (each of the Subsequent Exercise Period and the Initial Exercise Period, an
Exercise Period
), 60,000 (Sixty Thousand) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
(the
Subsequently Exercisable Warrant Shares
, and together with the Immediately Exercisable
Warrant Shares, the
Warrant Shares
). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in
this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in
Section 15
. This Warrant to purchase
Common Stock is pursuant to that certain Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2010, by
and between the Company and the Holder (the
Warrant Purchase Agreement
). The Holder will be
providing services to the Company as a consultant in the area of investor relations.
1.
EXERCISE OF WARRANT
.
(a)
Mechanics of Exercise
. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant
may be exercised by the Holder on any Business Day during the applicable Exercise Period, in whole
or in part, by (i) delivery in accordance with
Section 8
hereof of a written notice, in the
form attached hereto as
Exhibit A
(the
Exercise Notice
), of the Holders election
to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to
which this Warrant is being exercised (the
Aggregate Exercise Price
) in cash or by wire transfer
of immediately available funds, or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being
exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in
Section 1(c)
). The Holder shall
not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.
Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares
shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant
evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the third
(3
rd
) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the
Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the
Exercise
Delivery Documents
), the Company shall, (X) provided that American Stock Transfer and Trust
Company (the Companys
Transfer Agent
) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (
DTC
)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate
number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holders
or its designees balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or
(Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise
Notice, a certificate, registered in the Companys share register in the name of the Holder or its
designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the
Holders DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as
the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this
Section 1(a)
and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for
exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the
Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any
exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section 7(d)
)
representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to
such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole number.
(b)
Exercise Price
. For purposes of this Warrant,
Exercise Price
means $1.056,
subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c)
Cashless Exercise
. The Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant
in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to
the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive
upon such exercise the
Net Number
of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following
formula (a
Cashless Exercise
):
Net
Number =
(A x B) - (A x C)
B
2
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A=
|
|
the total number of shares with respect to which
this Warrant is then being exercised.
|
|
|
|
|
|
B=
|
|
the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common
Stock on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise
Notice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
C=
|
|
the Exercise Price then in effect for
the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such
exercise.
|
(d)
Rule 144
. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, as in effect on the date hereof (the
Securities Act
), assuming the Holder is
not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless
Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Issuance Date.
(e)
Disputes
. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price
or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder
the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.
2.
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES
. If the Company at any
time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant
Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date
combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement
or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any
adjustment under this
Section 2
shall become effective at the close of business on the date
the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
3.
RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS
.
(a) If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any
shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall
have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:
(i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time
directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or
options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of
dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution covered in
Section
2
above);
(ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend;
3
or
(iii) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash)
by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to
Section 2
above), then
and in each such case, the Holder hereof will, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be
entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable
thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock
and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii)
and (iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder
been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common
Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and
other securities and property.
(b) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 3
, the Company,
will, at the written request of the Holder and at the expense of the Company, promptly compute such
adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth
such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions
giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is
based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to
the Holder and to the Companys transfer agent.
4.
TERMINATION
. In the event that for any reason, prior to September 29, 2010, the
Holder is no longer providing consulting services to the Company, at the Companys discretion all
or a portion of the Subsequently Exercisable Warrant Shares can be terminated by the Company. In
the event and to the extent of such termination, this Warrant shall no longer apply to such
Subsequently Exercisable Warrant Shares.
5.
NONCIRCUMVENTION
. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will
not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith comply with all the
provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
(i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as
this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of
this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
6.
WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER
. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the Holder, solely in such Persons capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share
4
capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Persons capacity as the Holder of this
Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of
stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive
dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In
addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the
Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder
of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Amended and Restated 2004 Employee, Director and
Consultant Incentive Plan (the Plan) to promote the interests of the Company by providing an
incentive for employees, directors and consultants of the Company or its Affiliates;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company desires to offer for sale to the
Participant shares of the Companys common stock, $.001 par value per share (Common Stock), in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
WHEREAS, Participant wishes to accept said offer; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto understand and agree that any terms used and not defined herein
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.
Terms of Purchase
. The Participant hereby accepts the offer of the Company to
issue to the Participant, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement,
100,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock (such shares, subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 23 of the Plan and Subsection 2.1(g) hereof, the Granted Shares), at a purchase price
per share of $.001 (the Purchase Price), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the
Participants prior service to the Company and which amount will be reported as income on the
Participants W-2 for this calendar year.
2.1.
Companys Lapsing Repurchase Right
.
(a)
Lapsing Repurchase Right
. In the event that for any reason the Participant is no
longer an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate prior to the third
anniversary of the Grant Date (the Termination), the Participant (or the Participants Survivor)
shall, on the date of Termination, immediately forfeit to the Company (or its designee) all of the
Granted Shares which have not yet lapsed in accordance with the schedule set forth below (the
Lapsing Repurchase Right).
The Companys Lapsing Repurchase Right is as follows:
(i) If the Participants Termination is prior to the first anniversary of the
Grant Date, all of the Granted Shares shall be forfeited to the Company.
(ii) If the Participants Termination is on or after the first anniversary of
the Grant Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 67% of the Granted
Shares shall be forfeited to the Company
(iii) If the Participants Termination is on or after the second anniversary of the
Grant Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, 34% of the Granted Shares
shall be forfeited to the Company.
(iii) If the Participants Termination is after the third anniversary of the
Grant Date, none of the Granted Shares shall be forfeited to the Company.
(b)
Effect of Termination for Disability or upon Death
. The following rules apply if
the Participants Termination is by reason of Disability or death: to the extent the Companys
Lapsing Repurchase Right has not lapsed as of the date of Disability or death, as case may be, the
Participant shall forfeit to the Company any or all of the Granted Shares subject to such Lapsing
Repurchase Right; provided, however, that the Companys Lapsing Repurchase Right shall be deemed to
have lapsed to the extent of a pro rata portion of the Granted Shares through the date of
Disability or death, as would have lapsed had the Participant not become Disabled or died, as the
case may be. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in such current vesting
period prior to the Participants date of Disability or death, as the case may be.
(c)
Effect of Termination For Cause
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, in the event the Company or an Affiliate terminates the Participants
employment or service for cause (as defined in the Plan) or in the event the Administrator
determines, within one year after the Participants termination, that either prior or subsequent to
the Participants termination the Participant engaged in conduct that would constitute cause, all
of the Granted Shares then held by the Participant shall be forfeited to the Company immediately as
of the time the Participant is notified that he or she has been terminated for cause or that he
or she engaged in conduct which would constitute cause.
(d)
Escrow
. The certificates representing all Granted Shares acquired by the
Participant hereunder which from time to time are subject to the Lapsing Repurchase Right shall be
delivered to the Company and the Company shall hold such Granted Shares in escrow as provided in
this Subsection 2.1(d). The Company shall promptly release from escrow and deliver to the
Participant a certificate for the whole number of Granted Shares, if any, as to which the Companys
Lapsing Repurchase Right has lapsed. In the event of forfeiture to the Company of Granted Shares
subject to the Lapsing Repurchase Right, the Company shall release from escrow and cancel a
certificate for the number of Granted Shares so forfeited. Any securities distributed in respect
of the Granted Shares held in escrow, including, without limitation, shares issued as a result of
stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalizations, shall also be held in escrow in the same
manner as the Granted Shares.
(e)
Prohibition on Transfer
. The Participant recognizes and agrees that all Granted
Shares which are subject to the Lapsing Repurchase Right may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
hypothecated, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or by operation of
law, other than to the Company (or its designee). However, the Participant, with the approval of
the Administrator, may transfer the Granted Shares for no consideration to or for the benefit of
the Participants Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of
the Participants Immediate Family or to a partnership or limited liability company for one or more
members of the Participants Immediate Family), subject to such limits as the Administrator may
establish, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to
this Agreement prior to such transfer and each such transferee shall so acknowledge in writing as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of such transfer. The term Immediate Family shall mean
the Participants spouse, former spouse, parents, children, stepchildren, adoptive relationships,
sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews and grandchildren (and, for this purpose, shall also include
the Participant. The Company shall not be required to transfer any Granted Shares on its books
which shall have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Subsection
2.1(e), or to treat as the owner of such Granted Shares, or to accord the right to vote as such
owner or to
2
pay dividends to, any person or organization to which any such Granted Shares shall have been
so sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, in violation of this Subsection 2.1(e).
(f)
Failure to Deliver Granted Shares to be Repurchased
. In the event that the
Granted Shares to be forfeited to the Company under this Agreement are not in the Companys
possession pursuant to Subsection 2.1(e) above or otherwise and the Participant or the
Participants Survivor fails to deliver such Granted Shares to the Company (or its designee), the
Company may immediately take such action as is appropriate to transfer record title of such Granted
Shares from the Participant to the Company (or its designee) and treat the Participant and such
Granted Shares in all respects as if delivery of such Granted Shares had been made as required by
this Agreement. The Participant hereby irrevocably grants the Company a power of attorney which
shall be coupled with an interest for the purpose of effectuating the preceding sentence.
(g)
Adjustments
. The Plan contains provisions covering the treatment of Shares in a
number of contingencies such as stock splits, mergers and Change of Control transactions.
Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to the Granted Shares and the related provisions
with respect to successors to the business of the Company are hereby made applicable hereunder and
are incorporated herein by reference.
2.2
General Restrictions on Transfer of Granted Shares
.
(a) If in connection with a registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), the Company or its underwriter so requests,
the Participant will agree not to sell any of his or her Granted Shares whether or not the Lapsing
Repurchase Right has lapsed for a period not to exceed the lesser of: (i) 180 days following the
effectiveness of such registration statement or (ii) such period as the officers and directors of
the Company agree not to sell their Common Stock of the Company.
(b) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor, its shareholders nor
its directors and officers, has any duty or obligation to disclose to the Participant any material
information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the value of the Shares before, at
the time of, or following a Termination, including, without limitation, any information concerning
plans for the Company to make a public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or merged
with or into another firm or entity.
3.
Securities Law Compliance
. The Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees
that any sales of Granted Shares shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act.
4.
Rights as a Stockholder
. The Participant shall have all the rights of a
stockholder with respect to the Granted Shares, including voting and dividend rights, subject to
the transfer and other restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan.
5.
Legend
. In addition to any legend required pursuant to the Plan, all certificates
representing the Granted Shares to be issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall
have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:
The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions set forth in a
Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of May 10, 2010 with this Company, a copy
of which Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Company or will be
made available upon request.
3
6.
Incorporation of the Plan
. The Participant specifically understands and agrees
that the Granted Shares issued under the Plan are being sold to the Participant pursuant to the
Plan, a copy of which Plan the Participant acknowledges he or she has read and understands and by
which Plan he or she agrees to be bound. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by
reference.
7.
Tax Liability of the Participant and Payment of Taxes
. The Participant acknowledges
and agrees that any income or other taxes due from the Participant with respect to the Granted
Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Lapsing Repurchase
Right, shall be the Participants responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the Participant
agrees that, to the extent that the lapsing of restrictions on disposition of any of the Granted
Shares or the declaration of dividends on any such shares before the lapse of such restrictions on
disposition results in the Participants being deemed to be in receipt of earned income under the
provisions of the Code, the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Participant of
the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company.
Upon execution of this Agreement, the Participant has declined to file an election under
Section 83 of the Code. The Participant acknowledges that by not filing such an election, as the
Granted Shares are released from the Lapsing Repurchase Right in accordance with Section 2.1, the
Participant will have income for tax purposes equal to the fair market value of the Granted Shares
at such date, less the price paid for the Granted Shares by the Participant.
8.
Equitable Relief
. The Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the
event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, including
the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Participant in violation of this Agreement,
monetary damages may not be adequate to compensate the Company, and, therefore, in the event of
such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any right to damages, the Company shall be
entitled to equitable relief in any court having competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be
construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such
breach or threatened breach.
9.
No Obligation to Maintain Relationship
. The Company is not by the Plan or this
Agreement obligated to continue the Participant as an employee, director or consultant of the
Company or an Affiliate. The Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in
nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the grant of the
Shares is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future
grants of shares, or benefits in lieu of shares; (iii) that all determinations with respect to any
such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when shares shall be granted, the
number of shares to be granted, the purchase price, and the time or times when each share shall be
free from a lapsing repurchase right, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) that the
Participants participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (v) that the Shares are not part of
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy,
end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar
payments.
10.

. Any notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the
Plan shall be given by recognized courier service, facsimile, registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, addressed as follows:

following mailing by registered or certified mail.
11.
Benefit of Agreement
. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the other
provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
12.
Governing Law
. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

equity, the parties hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the State of New Jersey and agree
that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New Jersey or the federal courts of the
United States for the District of New Jersey.
13.
Severability
. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision or provisions shall be
modified to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable, and to the extent
that this is impossible, then such provision shall be deemed to be excised from this Agreement, and
the validity, legality and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby.
14.
Entire Agreement
. This Agreement, together with the Plan, constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly set
forth in this Agreement shall affect or be used to interpret, change or restrict the express terms
and provisions of this Agreement provided, however, in any event, this Agreement shall be subject
to and governed by the Plan.
15.

consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar.
Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose

agreement of the parties. If the Participant subsequent to the date hereof, marries, remarries or
applies to the Company for domestic partner benefits, the Participant shall, not later than 60 days
thereafter, obtain his or her new spouse/domestic partners

contained in this Agreement by having such spouse/domestic partner execute and deliver a Consent of
Spouse/Domestic Partner in the form of Exhibit A.
17.
Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by

EXHIBIT A
CONSENT OF SPOUSE/DOMESTIC PARTNER
I, ____________________________, spouse or domestic partner of _________________________,
acknowledge that I have read the RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT dated as of June 7
th
, 2010
(the Agreement) to which this Consent is attached as Exhibit A and that I know its contents.
Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Agreement. I am aware that by its provisions the Granted Shares granted to my spouse/domestic
partner pursuant to the Agreement are subject to a Lapsing Repurchase Right in favor of Majesco
Entertainment Company (the Company) and that, accordingly, I may be required to forfeit to the
Company any or all of the Granted Shares of which I may become possessed as a result of a gift from
my spouse/domestic partner or a court decree and/or any property settlement in any domestic
litigation.
I hereby agree that my interest, if any, in the Granted Shares subject to the Agreement shall
be irrevocably bound by the Agreement and further understand and agree that any community property
interest I may have in the Granted Shares shall be similarly bound by the Agreement.
I agree to the Lapsing Repurchase Right described in the Agreement and I hereby consent to the
forfeiture of the Granted Shares to the Company by my spouse/domestic partner or my spouse/domestic
partners legal representative in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. Further, as
part of the consideration for the Agreement, I agree that at my death, if I have not disposed of
any interest of mine in the Granted Shares by an outright bequest of the Granted Shares to my
spouse or domestic partner, then the Company shall have the same rights against my legal
representative to exercise its rights to the Granted Shares with respect to any interest of mine in
the Granted Shares as it would have had pursuant to the Agreement if I had acquired the Granted
Shares pursuant to a court decree in domestic litigation.
I AM AWARE THAT THE LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND RELATED MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT ARE
COMPLEX AND THAT I AM FREE TO SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO
THIS CONSENT. I HAVE EITHER SOUGHT SUCH GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL OR DETERMINED AFTER REVIEWING THE
AGREEMENT CAREFULLY THAT I WILL WAIVE SUCH RIGHT.
Dated as of the _______
day of ________________, 200_.
