X-FACTOR COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC. - 10-Q - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited balance
sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations
and members' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and
2010 and the notes attached thereto and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet
as of September 30, 2012 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of
operations and stockholders' and members' deficit and cash flows for the nine
and three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the notes attached
thereto. Such 2011 financial statements exclude the effects of the Merger and
the related reorganization. This interim financial information reflects, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments and changes in estimates, where appropriate) to present
fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations and cash
flows for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the full year.
All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including, but
not limited to, statements regarding anticipated future capital requirements,
our future development plans, our ability to obtain debt, equity or other
financing, and our ability to generate cash from operations, are based on
current expectations. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be
construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily
continue in the future. The Company operates in one segment and therefore
segment information is not presented.
The statements contained herein, other than historical information, are or may
be deemed to be forward-looking statements and involve factors, risks and
uncertainties that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ
materially from such statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties are
discussed below and include market acceptance and availability of digital media
communication services, rapid technological change affecting demand for our
services, competition from other digital media communication service providers,
deteriorating economic conditions, the availability of sufficient financial
resources to enable us to pay our existing obligations and expand our
operations, adequacy of internal controls, being an early stage software
development company, as well as other risks and uncertainties that may be
detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Overview
X-Factor Communications Holdings, Inc. (formerly, Organic Spice Imports, Inc.)
("Holdings" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary X-Factor
Communications, LLC ("X-Factor"), a New York limited liability company, located
in South Hackensack, New Jersey, provides interactive digital media network
software and services. The X-Factor Digital Media Network Platform, our
cloud-based digital signage, web and mobile solution, is delivered as a
software-as-a-service and under a software license model, enabling our customers
to build simple yet scalable advertising and corporate digital media networks.
The Company's webcasting solution, a live and on-demand multimedia distribution
product delivers rich media content, desktop signage and emergency messaging to
mobile and Web devices. The Company's solutions address the rapidly expanding
digital media needs of its corporate, public venue, education and government
sector customers. The Company sells its software and services throughout the
United States. The Company has limited its staffing and marketing efforts,
expenditures and expenses to date. Over the past two years the Company has
benefited from limited direct sales efforts and sales referrals from Cisco
Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") and some of the larger integrators/reseller sales
channels in the marketplace. The Company believes it is now positioned to
implement an aggressive marketing campaign to increase the sales volume through
these sales channels. In addition, the Company has introduced stand-alone
solutions to the marketplace that it plans to market along with its partner
oriented product portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2011 the Company had a members' deficit of $1,294,187, a working
capital deficiency of $441,953 and incurred a net loss of $1,502,638 for the
year then ended. In addition, there was a decrease in revenue of $929,797 in
2011 when compared to 2010 levels.
At September 30, 2012 the Company had a stockholders' deficit of $1,032,645, a
working capital deficiency of $473,648 and incurred a net loss of $2,996,648 and
$1,088,704 for the nine and three months then ended, respectively. In addition,
there was a decrease in revenue of $129,313 and $96,013 for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, when compared to 2011
levels. There can be no assurance that: (1) existing stockholders will continue
to support the operational and financial requirements of the Company, (2) that
the Company will be able to raise sufficient equity (see Note 18) or (3) that
the Company will continue to be able to comply with existing covenants with
creditors in future periods (see Note 20). While the Company has been successful
to date in raising funds through sales of securities, the Company does not
currently have any sources of committed funding available. At present, these
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm
(as included in our Form 8-K filing dated May 21, 2012) included an explanatory
paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt concerning the Company's
ability to operate as a going concern. X-Factor has historically incurred net
losses and recurring negative cash flows from operations. Furthermore X-Factor
has, in the past, defaulted on debt service payments and been in default of
covenants in certain debt agreements and there are no assurances that investors
will continue to support X-Factor or that X-Factor will be able to raise
sufficient capital or debt financing to sustain operations. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about X-Factor's ability to continue as a going
concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that might result from the outcome
of these uncertainties.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31,
2011, the Company received an aggregate $75,000 and $850,000, respectively; in
cash proceeds from the sale of promissory notes (see Note 12). In 2012 the
Company received additional net cash proceeds of $1,857,417 raised in connection
with the Offering.
The Company believes that the $1,857,417 of net cash proceeds received from the
sale of securities in connection with a private placement offering (the
"Offering") and the conversion of $881,478 of promissory notes in 2012, along
with management's expectation for greater financing opportunities as a result of
Holdings' public reporting status (see Note 18), will provide sufficient equity
to fund its operations for the next four to six months. There are no assurances,
however, that the Company will be able to raise additional capital as may be
needed, or increase revenue levels and profitability. Further, if the current
economic climate negatively impacts the Company, as it may, and the Company is
unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, it could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, future operations and cash
flows.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, non interest bearing, customer
obligations due under normal trade terms and are stated at the amount billed to
the customer. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific
invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are
applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable may, at times, be
reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the
amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts
receivable balances periodically and based on an assessment of the current
creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be
collected.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation on
equipment is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the assets (five years)
using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset
(seven years) or the expected term of the occupancy. Included in equipment are
fixed assets subject to capital leases which are depreciated over the life of
the respective asset. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as
incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss will
be reported in results of operations.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived
assets, principally equipment and leasehold improvements, relying on a number of
factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and
anticipated future cash flows. Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is
recognized whenever anticipated future undiscounted cash flows from an asset are
estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of the impairment
recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its
fair value. There were no impairment losses recognized in the nine and three
month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is
reasonably assured. The Company has certain arrangements where it is obligated
to deliver multiple products and/or services (multiple elements). In these
arrangements, the Company allocates the total revenue among the elements based
on the sales price of each element when sold separately using vendor-specific
objective evidence. Revenue from multi-year licensing arrangements is accounted
for as subscriptions, with billings recorded as unearned revenue and recognized
as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period. Unearned revenue also
consists of future maintenance and upgrade services that will be provided by the
Company in future periods under terms of a non-refundable service contract.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company's objectives in using debt-related derivative financial instruments
are to obtain the lowest cash cost source of funds. Derivatives are recognized
in the balance sheet at fair value based on the criteria specified in Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815"). Under ASC Topic 815, the
estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities is revalued at each balance
sheet date with the changes in value, if any, recorded in the interest and other
expense section of the accompanying Statements of Operations and Members'
Deficit.
Equity-Based Compensation
Equity-based awards for common stock have been appropriately accounted for as
required by FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC Topic
718"). Under ASC Topic 718, equity-based awards are valued at fair value on the
date of grant and that fair value is recognized over the requisite service
period. The Company values its equity-based awards using the Black-Scholes
option valuation model. The fair value of the common stock used in these
valuation models is based on the most recent sale of a share of common stock of
the Company.
The fair value of warrants for common stock issued to consultants or employees
are recognized over the requisite service period with a corresponding decrease
to members' deficit. Warrants issued to consultants are valued at the fair value
of the common stock related to the warrants. Warrants for common stock issued to
equity investors have no effect on stockholders' deficit; that is, the fair
value of the warrants granted to investors and charged to stockholders' deficit
are entirely offset by a corresponding adjustment to stockholders' deficit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income Taxes
Holdings operates as a "C" corporation. Prior to the Merger, the Members of
X-Factor elected to be treated as a limited liability corporation, under the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and State of New Jersey tax
laws. Holdings uses the asset and liability method to determine our income tax
expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on
temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected
to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and an
assessment of whether it is more likely than not that such amounts will be
realized. Based on an assessment of all available evidence, a valuation
allowance has been established against net deferred tax assets (principally net
operating losses) at September 30, 2012. For the period from the effective date
of the Merger through September 30, 2012 the Company did not record a benefit
for income taxes.
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-06, which is included as part of FASB
ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes," clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in an entity's consolidated financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon
examination. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition
threshold has been met. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition requirements. Prior to the Merger, X-Factor operated
as a limited liability corporation and Federal and state taxes are passed
through to the members, so too would the assessments from any tax examinations
and, since the Merger, has generated an operating loss. There are no ongoing or
pending examinations by Federal or state tax agencies. The Company has evaluated
its tax positions for all currently open tax years, 2008 through 2011, and has
concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions for either
Federal or state purposes.
There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been
accrued or recognized as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 or for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
The Company conducts business domestically and, as a result, files Federal and
state income tax returns. In the normal course of business, the Company is
subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company has no open tax years
prior to the 2008 tax return.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act (the "JOBS Act"). We have elected to use the extended transition period for
complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of
the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised
accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private
companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this
election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that
comply with public company effective dates.

Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 (the "2012 Period") compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2011 (the "2011 Period")
Revenues - Revenues decreased $129,313, or 20.8%, in the 2012 Period to $490,958
from $620,271 in the 2011 Period. The primary reason for the decrease in
revenues in 2012 was that starting in 2010; Cisco drastically reduced its
purchases of X-Factor's digital signage and advertising software and
services. Purchases by Cisco generated $196,898 of revenue in the 2011 Period
versus no revenue in the 2012 Period. In addition, the US Postal Service, due
to budget constraints, ceased purchasing X-Factor's digital signage software and
maintenance services for new locations which caused a $45,224 revenue reduction
in the 2012 Period compared to the 2011 Period. This reduction was partially
offset by successful efforts by the Company to increase its webcasting
business. The following are the changes in the components of X-Factor's revenue:
Nine Months Ended Favorable
September 30, (Unfavorable)
2012 2011 Change
Digital signage software and services $ 194,351 $ 420,898 $ (226,547 )
Webcasting 296,607 199,373 97,234
Total revenues $ 490,958 $ 620,271 $ (129,313 )
Cost of revenues - Cost of revenues increased $1,591, or 0.8% in the 2012 Period
to $194,277 from $192,686 in the 2011 Period. Cost of revenues, as a percentage
of revenues, were 39.6% in the 2012 Period and 31.1% in the 2011 Period. This
increase in cost as a percentage of revenues is caused by the increase in the
costs associated with the webcasting business.
Gross Profit - Gross profit decreased $130,904, or 30.6% in the 2012 Period to
$296,681 from $427,585 in the 2011 Period. Gross profit, as a percentage of
revenues, was 60.4% in the 2012 Period and 68.9% in the 2011 Period. This change
was related to the reduction in revenues for digital signage software and
services which have a higher gross profit compared to webcasting revenues.
Salaries and fringe benefits expenses - Compensation costs increased $175,040,
or 49.1% in the 2012 Period to $531,263 from $356,223 in the 2011
Period. Compensation costs, as a percentage of revenues, were 108.2% in the 2012
Period and 57.4% in the 2011 Period. The primary reason for the increase in
costs during the 2012 Period was X-Factor's granting of options which caused
equity-based compensation to increase by $135,656 from the 2011 Period.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses
increased $486,925, or 55.5% in the 2012 Period to $1,364,540 from $877,615 in
the 2011 Period. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of
revenues, were 277.9% in the 2012 Period and 141.5% in the 2011 Period. The
following are the significant changes in the components of the Company's general
and administrative expenses:
Nine Months Ended Favorable
September 30, (Unfavorable)
2012 2011 Change
Professional fees and consultants $ 842,820 $ 155,019 $ (687,801 )

Total general and administrative $ 1,364,540 $ 877,615 $ (486,925 )
31
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depreciation and amortization - Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased
$11,080, or 21.7%, in the 2012 Period to $39,936 from $51,016 in the 2011
Period. The decrease was due to some assets being fully depreciated and a lower
level of equipment and leasehold improvement additions in all periods.
Loss from operations - Loss from operations increased by $781,789, or 91.2% in
the 2012 Period to $1,639,058 from $857,269 in the 2011 Period.
Other expense - Other expense increased by $1,142,883 in the 2012 Period to
$1,357,590 from $214,707 in the 2011 Period. Due to amendments to, and the
conversion of, various Notes Payable to Related Parties in the 2012 Period, the
related unamortized discounts and financing costs were expensed and shown as a
Loss on Extinguishment or Modification of Debt. Professional fees related to
the Merger were expensed as incurred. Due to increases in the market price of
the Company's common stock there was an increase in the fair value of derivative
financial instruments. The following are the changes in the components of the
Company's other expenses:
Nine Months Ended Favorable
September 30, (Unfavorable)
2012 2011 Change
Loss on Extinguishment or Modification of Debt $ 515,135 $ - $ (515,135 )
Professional fees related to Merger
202,867 22,477 (180,390 )
Change in fair value of derivative financial
instruments for Related Parties 401,461 - (401,461 )
Interest 81,464 62,155 (19,309 )
Accretion of discount on notes 138,590 117,476 (21,114 )
Amortization of prepaid financing costs 11,869 8,748 (3,121 )
Other expenses 6,204 3,851 (2,353 )
Total other expenses $ 1,357,590 $ 214,707 $ (1,142,883 )
Income taxes - As a result of X-Factor being a limited liability company all
profits and losses of X-Factor prior to the Merger flowed through to the
individual members of X-Factor. Accordingly, X-Factor did not record a tax
provision, incur any liability for incomes taxes nor record a benefit for income
taxes or any deferred tax assets or liabilities for Federal or state tax
purposes.
Holdings operates as a "C" corporation. Net deferred tax assets are evaluated
for recoverability and an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that
such amounts will be realized. Based on an assessment of all available evidence,
a valuation allowance has been established against net deferred tax assets
(principally net operating losses) at September 30, 2012 and for the period from
the date of the Merger through September 30, 2012 the Company did not record a
benefit for income taxes.
Net loss - The decrease in gross profit, increase in operating expenses and
increase in other expenses are caused primarily by non-recurring expenses
related to the Offering, extinguishment and modification of debt and the change
in fair value of derivative financial instruments, resulting in the net loss
increasing by $1,924,672, in the 2012 Period to $2,996,648 from $1,071,976 in
the 2011 Period.
Three months ended September 30, 2012 (the "2012 Quarter") compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2011 (the "2011 Quarter")
Revenues - Revenues decreased $96,013, or 36.8%, in the 2012 Quarter to $165,165
from $261,178 in the 2011 Quarter. The primary reason for the decrease in
revenues in 2012 was in 2011 Cisco drastically reduced its purchases of
X-Factor's digital signage and advertising software and services. Purchases by
Cisco generated $121,170 of revenue in the 2011 Quarter versus no revenue in the
2012 Quarter. In addition, the US Postal Service, due to budget constraints,
ceased purchasing X-Factor's digital signage software and maintenance services
for new locations which caused a $29,744 revenue reduction in the 2012 Quarter
compared to the 2011 Quarter. This reduction was partially offset by successful
efforts by the Company to increase their webcasting business. The following are
the changes in the components of X-Factor's revenue:
32
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three Months Ended Favorable
September 30, (Unfavorable)

Digital signage software and services $ 122,667 $ 231,153 $ (108,486 )
Webcasting 42,498 30,025 12,473
Total revenues $ 165,165 $ 261,178 $ (96,013 )
Cost of revenues - Cost of revenues increased $21,557, or 54.5% in the 2012
Quarter to $61,119 from $39,562 in the 2011 Quarter. Cost of revenues, as a
percentage of revenues, were 37.0% in the 2012 Quarter and 15.1% in the 2011
Quarter.
Gross Profit - Gross profit decreased $117,570, or 53.1% in the 2012 Quarter to
$104,046 from $221,616 in the 2011 Quarter. Gross profit, as a percentage of
revenues, was 63.0% in the 2012 Quarter and 84.9% in the 2011 Quarter.
Salaries and fringe benefits expenses - Compensation costs increased $241,284,
or 349.2% in the 2012 Quarter to $310,388 from $69,104 in the 2011
Quarter. Compensation costs, as a percentage of revenues, were 187.9% in the
2012 Quarter and 26.5% in the 2011 Quarter. The primary reason for the increase
in costs during the 2012 Quarter was X-Factor's granting of options which caused
equity-based compensation to increase by $201,141 from the 2011 Period.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses
increased $235,012, or 80.8% in the 2012 Quarter to $525,857 from $290,845 in
the 2011 Quarter. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of
revenues, were 318.4% in the 2012 Quarter and 111.4% in the 2011 Quarter. The

Miscellaneous expenses 9,717 9,856 139
Total general and administrative $ 525,857 $ 290,845 $ (235,012 )
Depreciation and amortization - Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased
$7,950, or 50.4%, in the 2012 Quarter to $7,827 from $15,777 in the 2011
Quarter. The decrease was due to some assets being fully depreciated and a lower
level of equipment and leasehold improvement additions in all periods.
Loss from operations - Loss from operations increased by $585,916, or 380.2% in
the 2012 Quarter to $740,026 from $154,110 in the 2011 Quarter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other expense - Other expense increased by $194,421 in the 2012 Quarter to
$348,678 from $154,257 in the 2011 Quarter. Professional fees related to the
Merger were expensed as incurred. Due to increases in the market price of the
Company's common stock there was an increase in the fair value of derivative
financial instruments. The following are the changes in the components of the
Company's other expenses:
Three Months Ended Favorable
September 30, (Unfavorable )
2012 2011 Change
Professional fees related to Merger $ - $ 22,477 $ 22,477

Other expenses 3,379 1,680 (1,699 )
Total other expenses $ 348,678 $ 154,257 $ (194,421 )
Income taxes - As a result of X-Factor being a limited liability company all
profits and losses of X-Factor prior to the Merger flowed through to the
individual members of X-Factor. Accordingly, X-Factor did not record a tax
provision, incur any liability for incomes taxes nor record a benefit for income
taxes or any deferred tax assets or liabilities for Federal or state tax
purposes.
Holdings operates as a "C" corporation. Net deferred tax assets are evaluated
for recoverability and an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that
such amounts will be realized. Based on an assessment of all available evidence,
a valuation allowance has been established against net deferred tax assets
(principally net operating losses) at September 30, 2012 and for the period from
the Merger Date through September 30, 2012 the Company did not record a benefit
for income taxes.
Net loss - The decrease in gross profit and increase in operating expenses
caused the increase in other expenses caused primarily by non-recurring expenses
related to the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments,
resulting in the net loss increasing by $780,337 in the 2012 Quarter to
$1,088,704 from $308,367 in the 2011 Quarter.
Cash flows
At September 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $473,648,

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition for
multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance establishes a new
selling price hierarchy to use when allocating the sales price of a multiple
element arrangement between delivered and undelivered elements. The standard is
generally expected to result in revenue recognition for more delivered elements
than under prior rules. The Company was required to adopt this standard
prospectively for new or materially modified agreements entered into on or after
January 1, 2011. The implementation of this standard did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that revises two disclosure
requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others. It
requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1
and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such
transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances
and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The
guidance also clarifies that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of
asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques
should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value
measurements. These new disclosure requirements became effective for the
Company's financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2011, except
for the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which
became effective for our 2011 year end. Since this guidance is only related to
financial statement disclosures, there was no impact to the Company's financial
statements as a result of the adoption of this guidance.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04,
"Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements
in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards" ("IFRS") ("ASU
2011-04"), which amends FASB ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement." These
amendments, effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2011 (early adoption is prohibited), result in a common definition
of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure
requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change
some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The adoption
of ASU 2011-04 did not have an impact on the Company's September 30, 2012
financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive
Income," which amends FASB ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." This guidance,
effective retrospectively for the interim and annual periods beginning on or
after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is permitted), requires presentation of
total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of
other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of
comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The option
to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of
stockholders' and members' deficit was eliminated. The items that must be
reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive
income must be reclassified to net income were not changed. Additionally, no
changes were made to the calculation and presentation of loss per share. The
adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have an impact on the Company's September 30,
2012 financial statements.
The Company is not aware of any other pronouncements, not yet issued or adopted,
that would have a material effect on its future financial statements.

Other Recent Developments
The Company has recently added the following new products and solutions to its
product base:
- The C4 "Corporate Communications Control Center" (the "C4 Solution") is
an easy to use software-based solution for multi-media, multi-channel and
multi-dimensional internal and external corporate communications. C4 is an
advanced and intuitive content creation and management system that supports
emergency messaging, conventional publishing as well as interactive
applications.
The C4 solution is complementary to other in-place systems, including intranet
sites and Microsoft SharePoint, adding greater functionality and ease of use
including the automated transformation of PowerPoint documents into desktop
signs and alerts, for example. Content distributed over C4 is optimized for all
end-points, whether large lobby displays, interactive kiosks including
wayfinding capabilities, or mobile tablets and smart phones.
- MACC "Marketing and Advertising Control Center" builds upon over five
years of experience developing, implementing and managing multimedia "immersive"
digital media networks.
MACC makes it easier than ever to participate in the rapidly growing
"Digital-Out-Of-Home" marketing trend and enables marketers and their agency
partners to:
- Deliver targeted advertising;
- Provide product information and spur cross-selling and up-selling;
- Promote features and benefits;
- Help ensure consistency of messaging in multiple languages and
geographies; and
- Control costs via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model
MACC is a high-impact delivery platform integrated into the way people shop,
learn and play, presented at the most appropriate moments in the most
interesting venues (retail shops, stadiums, public transportation hubs, on
trains and buses, at medical centers, in malls, and much more). Displays can
deliver messaging that is customized by geography, time of day, specific
location and more in real-time, and data collected informs the real-time
grooming of campaigns to ensure the highest conversion rates and ROI.
- X-Factor's "Enterprise Desktop" makes it possible to distribute content
to desktops, intranet sites including SharePoint and mobile devices in
real-time, including notifications, promotions, emergency alerts and more.
Desktop signage takes content usually available on the intranet or digital signs
and delivers it to a large employee community in a way that is hard to miss.
While employees typically have access to a wealth of internal corporate
information, due to the demands on their time, they often do not take the time
to look for information unless it is related to a topic that they are
specifically interested in. X-Factor's Enterprise Desktop enables company
leaders to get key messages out, whether in screensaver mode or seeing content
within the desktop player. Employees simply click for more information on any
particular subject or to view a live webcast. X-Factor's Enterprise Desktop
complements existing publishing systems including Microsoft SharePoint.
- X-Factor's mobile interactive capabilities extend the power of digital
signage to audiences' mobile devices. Through X-Factor's enhanced mobile
engagement solutions, its mobile applications augment point of display to
deliver information, marketing, ads, coupons and offers directly to an
individual's smartphone or tablet. X-Factor's product range can be combined to
support large scale "real world" and "virtual world" campaigns. For example,
users can be sent to one of X-Factor's unique digital players, optimized for
their mobile device. After enjoying an entertaining experience at a media wall
or other digital sign, consumers can download the player and its contents to
enjoy after leaving the venue. At interactive kiosks, consumers can receive
wayfinding directions through a simple SMS text, or can receive an e-ticket or
coupon instantly.
- X-Factor has developed a multimedia player which can be easily branded
and customized to aggregate content of all types (photos, animations, videos,
audio files, interactive applications, and more) into a single, intuitive user
experience. The player that runs automatically, without having the user download
a special application, and brings multiple content feeds together in an exciting
user experience. X-Factor's digital media and creative services teams can easily
and cost-efficiently design and deploy custom branded media players, and because
the players are fed by X-Factor's dmcp:// platform, all the advantages of our
related products, including the company's advertising sales monetization
products dscp:// Storefront and DMAX are easily included.
- Working with partners who provide hardware and network infrastructure,
X-Factor has released advanced interactive kiosks software, enabling audience
engagement and interaction, advertising and marketing content creation,
publishing, distribution and management. This software allows remote monitoring
of kiosks from a single location, multi-user privileges for hierarchal (local
and national) publishing, targeted advertising and transparent kiosk management
and collection of user information. The company works with partners to ensure
clients' goals for their customized interactive kiosk network are met, ensuring
that all the elements in the solution meet stringent guidelines -- from the
hardware and the kiosk interface and features to the appropriate network
connectivity and uptime.
