Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Navarre Corporation (the “Company” or “Navarre”), publishes and distributes physical and digital home entertainment and multimedia products, including PC software, DVD video, and video games and accessories. The business is divided into two business segments — publishing and distribution. The publishing business consists of Encore Software, Inc. (“Encore”), FUNimation Productions, Ltd. (“FUNimation”) and BCI Eclipse Company, LLC (“BCI”). In fiscal 2009, BCI began winding down its licensing operations related to budget DVD video.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Navarre Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the operating results and cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Navarre Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navarre Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Encore, FUNimation and BCI (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”).

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on products shipped, including consigned products owned by the Company, is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Service revenues are recognized upon delivery of the services. Service revenues represented less than 10% of total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The Company, under specific conditions, permits its customers to return products. The Company records a reserve for sales returns and allowances against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivables to the amounts the Company reasonably believes will be collected. These reserves are based on the application of the Company’s historical or anticipated gross profit percent against average sales returns, sales discounts percent against average gross sales and specific reserves for marketing programs.

The Company’s publishing business, at times, provides certain price protection, promotional monies, volume rebates and other incentives to customers. The Company records these amounts as reductions in revenue.

The Company’s distribution customers, at times, qualify for certain price protection benefits from the Company’s vendors. The Company serves as an intermediary to settle these amounts between vendors and customers. The Company accounts for these amounts as reductions of revenue with corresponding reductions in cost of sales.

FUNimation’s revenue is recognized upon meeting the recognition requirements of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2 (“SOP 00-2”), Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films. Revenues from home video distribution are recognized, net of an allowance for estimated returns, in the period in which the product is available for sale by the Company’s customers (generally upon shipment to the customer and in the case of new releases, after “street date” restrictions lapse). Revenues from broadcast licensing and home video sublicensing are recognized when the programming is available to the licensee

and other recognition requirements of SOP 00-2 are met. Revenues received in advance of availability are deferred until revenue recognition requirements have been satisfied. Royalties on sales of licensed products are recognized in the period earned. In all instances, provisions for uncollectible amounts are provided for at the time of sale.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statements of Financial Standards No. 165 (“SFAS No. 165”), Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 requires all public entities to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are available to be issued and disclose in the notes the date through which the Company has evaluated subsequent events and whether the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued on the disclosed date. SFAS No. 165 defines two types of subsequent events, as follows: the first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and the second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. We adopted SFAS No. 165 during fiscal 2010, with no impact to our consolidated financial statements other than subsequent event footnote disclosures (see further disclosure in Note 22).

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Standards No. 166 (“SFAS No. 166”), Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140. This Statement eliminates the concept of a “qualified special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We will adopt SFAS No. 166 in fiscal 2011 and are evaluating the impact, if any, it will have to our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB also published Statements of Financial Standards No 167 (“SFAS No. 167”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an amendment to FIN 46(R). SFAS No. 167 addresses the effects of eliminating the qualified special purpose entity concept from SFAS No. 140 and responds to concerns about the application of certain key provisions of FIN 46(R), including concerns over the transparency of enterprises’ involvement with Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). SFAS No. 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We will adopt SFAS No. 167 is fiscal 2011 and are evaluating the impact, if any, it will have to our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2009, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Standards No. 168 (“SFAS No. 168”), The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and will become the source of authoritative non-SEC authoritative GAAP. SFAS No. 168 establishes a two-level GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities: authoritative guidance and nonauthoritative guidance. Authoritative guidance consists of the Codification and, for SEC registrants, rules and interpretative releases of the Commission. Nonauthoritative guidance consists of non-SEC accounting literature that is not included in the Codification and has not been grandfathered. SFAS No. 168, including the Codification, is effective for financial statements of interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and we will adopt SFAS No. 168 during the period ending September 30, 2009. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 — Marketable Securities

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

	•		Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

	•		Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

	•		Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Marketable securities at June 30, 2009 consist of corporate bonds and a money market fund which are held in a Rabbi trust which was established for the payment of deferred compensation for a former Chief Executive Officer (see further disclosure in Note 20).

The Company classifies these securities as available-for-sale and at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 recorded these at fair value using Level 1 quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities were excluded from income and were reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost, that is deemed other than temporary, would be charged to income, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

The fair value of securities was determined by Level 1 quoted market prices. Dividend and interest income were recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale were included in income and were derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of the securities sold.

Available-for-sale securities consisted of the following (in thousands):


	As of June 30, 2009
			Gross		Gross
	Estimated fair		unrealized		unrealized
	value		holding gains		holding losses
Available-for-sale:
Corporate bonds	$	411	$	—	$	—
Money market fund		619		—		—

Available-for-sale:
Government agency and corporate bonds	$	712	$	1	$	2
Money market fund		312		—		—

	$	1,024	$	1	$	2

The marketable securities are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as current and non-current in accordance with the scheduled payout of the deferred compensation and are restricted to use only for the settlement of the deferred compensation liability. At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, all the marketable securities were classified as current. Contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities at June 30, 2009 ranged between August 2009 and January 2010.

Note 3 — Share-Based Compensation

The Company has two equity compensation plans: the Navarre Corporation 1992 Stock Option Plan and the Navarre Corporation 2004 Stock Plan (collectively, “the Plans”). The 1992 Plan expired on July 1, 2006, and no further grants are allowed under this Plan, however, there are outstanding options remaining under this Plan. The 2004 Plan provides for equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. These Plans are described in detail in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Stock Options

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity as of June 30, 2009 and changes during the three months ended June 30, 2009 is summarized as follows:


				Weighted
				average
	Number of			exercise
	options			price
Options outstanding, beginning of period:		3,165,528		$	5.74
Granted		63,000			0.66
Exercised		—			—
Canceled		(225,495	)		6.69

Options outstanding, end of period		3,003,033		$	5.56

Options exercisable, end of period		1,922,006		$	7.72

Shares available for future grant, end of period		1,441,667

The weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding was 6.3 years and for options exercisable was 4.9 years at June 30, 2009.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were zero and $5,000, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $1.65 as of June 30, 2009, which theoretically could have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding was $630,000 and for options exercisable was zero at June 30, 2009. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 674,000 and 700 options, respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized was $633,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.1 years on a weighted-average basis.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company received cash from the exercise of stock options totaling zero and $12,000, respectively. There was no excess tax benefit recorded for the tax deductions related to stock options during either the three months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock granted to employees typically has a vesting period of three years and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, or when the performance criteria have been met. The value of the restricted stock is established by the market price on the date of grant or if based on performance criteria, on the date it is determined the performance criteria will be met. Restricted stock awards vesting is based on service criteria or achievement of performance targets. All restricted stock awards are settled in shares of common stock.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity as of June 30, 2009 and of changes during the three months ended June 30, 2009 is summarized as follows:


				Weighted
				average
				grant date
	Shares			fair value
Unvested, beginning of period:		445,155		$	1.18
Granted		—			—
Vested		—			—
Forfeited		(5,583	)		1.10

Unvested, end of period		439,572		$	1.18

The weighted average remaining contractual term for restricted stock awards outstanding at June 30, 2009 was 9.1 years.

No shares vested during either the three months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

As of June 30, 2009 total compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards not yet recognized was $345,000 which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.3 years on a weighted-average basis. There was no excess tax benefit recorded for the tax deductions related to restricted stock during the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Restricted Stock Units — Performance Based

On April 1, 2006, the Company awarded restricted stock units to certain key employees. Receipt of the stock units was contingent upon the Company meeting Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) targets relative to an external market condition and meeting the service condition. Each participant was granted a base number of units. The units, as determined at the end of the performance year (fiscal 2007), were to be issued at the end of the third year (fiscal 2009) if the Company’s average TSR target was achieved for the fiscal period 2007 through 2009. The total number of base units granted for fiscal 2007 was 66,000. The amount recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $28,000 based upon the number of units granted. The Company did not achieve the TSR targets at March 31, 2009, and therefore zero shares were issued and all restricted stock units were forfeited at that time.

Share-Based Compensation Valuation and Expense Information

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an option award. The fair value of options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were calculated using the following assumptions:


	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
	2009			2008
Expected life (in years)		5.0			5.0
Expected volatility		71	%		65	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.65-2.93	%		2.65	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%

Expected life uses historical employee exercise and option expiration data to estimate the expected life assumption. The Company believes this historical data is currently the best estimate of the expected term of a new option. The Company uses a weighted-average expected life for all awards and has identified one employee population. Expected volatility uses the Company stock’s historical volatility for the same period of time as the expected life. The Company has no reason to believe its future volatility will differ from the past. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of the grant for the same period of time as the expected life. Expected dividend yield is zero, as the Company historically has not paid dividends.

Share-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, net of estimated forfeitures, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $257,000 and $288,000, respectively, and was included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No amount of share-based compensation was capitalized.

Approximately 2.9 million and 3.2 million of the Company’s stock options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because the exercise prices of the stock options and restricted stock awards were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The effect of the inclusion of warrants for the both the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 would have been anti-dilutive. Approximately 1.6 million warrants were excluded for both the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, because the exercise prices of the warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 5 — Shareholders’ Equity

The Company’s Article of Incorporation authorizes 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding.

The Company did not repurchase any shares during either the three months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

Note 10 — Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company incurs software development costs in the publishing segment. The Company accounts for these costs in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Software development costs include third-party contractor fees and overhead costs. Capitalization ceases and amortization of costs begins when the software product is available for general release to customers. The Company tests for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a reduction in expected cash flows, indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If indicators exist, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows related to the asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow amount, an impairment charge is recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations for amounts necessary to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Unamortized software development costs were $1.1 million and $677,000 at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt and are included in “Other Assets.” Debt issuance costs totaled $750,000 and $650,000 at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Accumulated amortization amounted to approximately $217,000 and $108,000 at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Amortization expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12 — License Fees

License fees related to the publishing segment consisted of the following (in thousands):


	June 30,		March 31,
	2009		2009
License fees	$	41,453	$	39,298
Less: accumulated amortization		23,789		21,570

Total	$	17,664	$	17,728

License fees represent advance license/royalty payments made to program suppliers for exclusive distribution rights. A program supplier’s share of distribution revenues (“participation/royalty cost”) is retained by the Company until the share equals the license fees paid to the program supplier plus recoupable production costs. Thereafter, any excess is paid to the program supplier.

License fees are amortized as recouped by the Company which equals participation/royalty costs earned by the program suppliers. Participation/royalty costs are accrued/expensed in the same ratio that current period revenue for a title or group of titles bear to the

estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue for that title, as defined by SOP 00-2. When estimates of total revenues and costs indicate that an individual title will result in an ultimate loss, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that license fees and production costs exceed estimated fair value, based on cash flows, in the period when estimated.

Amortization of license fees for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. These amounts have been included in royalty expense in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Less: accumulated amortization		13,160		12,223

Total	$	9,112	$	8,408

Production costs represent unamortized costs of films and television programs, which have been produced by the Company or for which the Company has acquired distribution rights. Costs of produced films and television programs include all production costs, which are expected to be recovered from future revenues. Amortization of production costs is determined based on the ratio that current revenue earned from the films and television programs bear to the ultimate future revenue, as defined by SOP 00-2.

When estimates of total revenues and costs indicate that an individual title will result in an ultimate loss, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that license fees and production costs exceed estimated fair value, based on discounted cash flows, in the period when estimated.

Amortization of production costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $937,000, and $781,000, respectively. These amounts have been included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 15 — Bank Financing and Debt

At June 30, 2009, the Company was a party to a credit agreement which provides for a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (through June 30, 2010), which is subject to certain borrowing base requirements. The revolving facility is available for working capital and general corporate needs. The revolving facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, as well as the capital stock of its subsidiary companies. At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 the Company had $23.2 million and $24.1 million, respectively, outstanding. At June 30, 2009, based on the facility’s borrowing base and other requirements, the Company had excess availability of $9.3 million.

In association with the revolving credit facility, the Company also pays certain facility and agent fees. Weighted average interest on the credit agreement was at 5.1% and 5.6% at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively, and is payable monthly.

Under the revolving credit facility the Company is required to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants included a variety of financial metrics that were used to determine the Company’s overall financial stability as well as limitations on its capital expenditures, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, minimum EBITDA and a borrowing base availability requirement. At June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.

Letter of Credit

The Company is party to a letter of credit totaling $250,000 related to a vendor at both June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009. In the Company’s past experience, no claims have been made against these financial instruments.

Note 16 — Private Placement Warrants

As of June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company had 1,596,001 warrants outstanding related to a private placement completed March 21, 2006, which includes warrants to purchase 171,000 shares issued by the Company to its agent in the private placement. The warrants have a term of five years and are exercisable at $4.50 per share. The Company has the right to require exercise of the warrants if, among other things, the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $8.50 per share for each of 30 consecutive trading days. In addition, the warrants provide the investors the option to require the Company to repurchase the warrants for a purchase price, payable in cash within five (5) business days after such request, equal to the Black-Scholes value of any unexercised warrant shares, but only if, while the warrants are outstanding, the Company initiates the following change in control transactions: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer is completed whereby holders of the Company’s common stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Company’s common stock whereby it is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property.

Note 17 — Income Taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to accumulated deficit for the Company. At adoption, the Company had approximately $417,000 of gross unrecognized income tax benefits (“UTB’s”) as a result of the implementation of FIN 48 and approximately $327,000 of UTB’s, net of federal and state income tax benefits, related to various federal and state matters, that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to UTB’s in the provision for income taxes. As of April 1, 2009, interest accrued was approximately $127,000, which was net of federal and state tax benefits. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 an additional $73,000 of UTB’s were accrued, which was net of $20,000 of deferred federal and state income tax benefits. As of June 30, 2009, interest accrued was $142,000 and total UTB’s, net of deferred federal and state income tax benefits, that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized, were $1.0 million.

The Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years ending in 2006 through 2009 remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company files in numerous state jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The Company’s unrecognized state tax benefits are related to state returns that remain subject to examination by tax authorities from tax years ending in 2003 through 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change prior to March 31, 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million and $428,000, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 33.5%, compared to 40.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

As a result of the current market conditions and their impact on the Company’s future outlook, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, management reviewed its deferred tax assets and concluded that the uncertainties related to the realization of some of its assets have become unfavorable. Management considered the positive and negative evidence for the potential utilization of the net deferred tax asset and concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would not realize the full amount of net deferred

tax assets. Accordingly, at March 31, 2009, a valuation allowance for a portion of the net deferred tax assets of $21.4 million was recorded and was included in income tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2009.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a net deferred tax asset position, before valuation allowance, of $35.8 million. These deferred tax assets were composed of temporary differences primarily related to the book write-off of certain intangibles and net operating loss carryforwards, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2029. At June 30, 2009, the Company continued to carry a $21.2 million valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets.

Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases primarily all of its distribution facilities and a portion of its office and warehouse equipment. The terms of the lease agreements generally range from 1 to 15 years. The leases require payment of real estate taxes and operating costs in addition to rent. Total rent expense was $731,000 and $724,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments required under noncancelable operating leases as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

Litigation and Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in a number of litigation/arbitration and administrative/regulatory matters that, other than the matter described immediately below, are incidental to the operation of the Company’s business. These proceedings generally include, among other things, various matters with regard to products distributed by the Company and the collection of accounts receivable owed to the Company. The Company does not currently believe that the resolution of any of those pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity, but an adverse decision in more than one of these matters could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Because of the preliminary status of the Company’s various legal proceedings, as well as the contingencies and uncertainties associated with these types of matters, it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the exposure to the Company, if any.

SEC Investigation

On February 17, 2006, the Company received an inquiry from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requesting certain documents and information relating to the Company’s restatements of previously-issued financial statements, certain write-offs, reserve methodologies, and revenue recognition practices. In connection with this formal, non-public investigation, the Company has cooperated fully with the SEC’s requests.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

We are a publisher and distributor of physical and digital home entertainment and multimedia products, including PC software, DVD video, video games and accessories. Our business is divided into two business segments – publishing and distribution. We believe our established relationships throughout the supply chain, our broad product offering and our distribution facility permit us to offer industry-leading home entertainment and multimedia products to our retail customers and to provide access to a retail channel for the publishers of such products.

Our broad base of customers includes: (i) wholesale clubs, (ii) mass merchandisers, (iii) other third-party distributors, (iv) computer specialty stores, (v) discount retailers, (vi) book stores, (vii) office superstores, and (viii) electronic superstores. We currently distribute to over 19,000 retail and distribution center locations throughout the United States and Canada.

Through our publishing business, which generally has higher gross margins than our distribution business, we own or license various PC software and DVD video titles, and other related merchandising and broadcasting rights. Our publishing business packages, brands, markets and sells directly to retailers, third-party distributors and our distribution business. Our publishing business currently consists of Encore, FUNimation and BCI. Encore licenses and publishes personal productivity, genealogy, utility, education and interactive gaming PC products. FUNimation is the leading provider of anime home video products in the United States. In fiscal 2009, BCI began winding down its licensing operations related to budget DVD video.

Through our distribution business, we distribute and provide fulfillment services in connection with a variety of finished goods that are provided by our vendors, which include PC software, DVD video, video games and accessories and by our publishing business. These vendors provide us with products which we, in turn, distribute to our retail customers. Our distribution business focuses on providing vendors and retailers with a range of value-added services including: vendor-managed inventory, Internet-based ordering, electronic data interchange services, fulfillment services and retailer-oriented marketing services.

Executive Summary

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased 5.4% to $134.3 million compared to $142.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in net sales was related to the wind down of BCI in fiscal 2009 which generated $4.4 million in net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $136,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, overall deteriorating economic conditions and the loss of sales to a large retailer that filed for bankruptcy during fiscal 2009 and subsequently decided to liquidate.

Our gross profit was $23.6 million or 17.5% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $22.1 million or 15.6% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 2009. The 1.9% increase in gross profit margin and $1.5 million increase in gross profit was due principally to product sales mix which included increased sales of higher margin products within both the publishing and distribution segments as well as an agent fee received in connection with a major licensing agreement.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $17.0 million or 12.6% of net sales, compared to $19.4 million or 13.6% of net sales in the same period for fiscal 2009. We experienced a decrease in all expense categories due to the wind down of BCI in fiscal 2009, company-wide expense reduction initiatives, which included workforce reductions and operational efficiencies, and a reduction in enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) expenses for systems that were implemented in fiscal 2009.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $4.2 million or $0.11 per diluted share compared to $627,000 or $0.02 per diluted share for the same period last year.

The restructuring activities that we undertook during fiscal 2009, including personnel reductions and the winding down of the budget DVD video publishing business, have created an operating platform with a reduced expense base. In addition to improving profitability through expense-reduction initiatives, we anticipate that such initiatives will allow us to focus greater attention on maximizing the results of the more profitable areas of our business.

Despite the challenges facing the economy as a whole, we are committed to licensing, acquisition of content and driving sales and efficiencies. We intend to monitor the current business environment in order to adjust our strategies appropriately.

Working Capital and Debt

Our business is working capital intensive and requires significant levels of working capital primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventories. We have relied on trade credit from vendors, amounts received on accounts receivable and our revolving credit facility for our working capital needs. In March 2007, we amended and restated our credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”) and entered into a four year Term Loan facility with Monroe Capital Advisors, LLC (“Monroe”). The GE agreement currently provides for a $65.0 million revolving credit facility and the Monroe agreement provided for a $15.0 million Term Loan facility, which was paid in full in connection with the Third Amendment of the GE revolving facility on June 12, 2008.

At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 we had $23.2 million and $24.1 million, respectively, outstanding on the revolving facility and, based on the facility’s borrowing base and other requirements, $9.3 million and $16.2 million, respectively, was available.

In association with the revolving credit facility, the Company also pays certain facility and agent fees. Weighted average interest under the revolving facility was at 5.1% and 5.6% at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively, and is payable monthly.

Forward-Looking Statements / Risk Factors

We make written and oral statements from time to time regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in documents, reports, filings with the SEC, including this Report on Form 10-Q, news releases, written or oral presentations made by officers or other representatives made by us to analysts, shareholders, investors, news organizations and others and discussions with management and other representatives of us. For such statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Our future results, including results related to forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of us speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to revision. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement which may be made by or on behalf of us.

In addition to other matters identified or described by us from time to time in filings with the SEC, there are several important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement that may be made by or on behalf of us. Some of these important factors, but not necessarily all important factors, include the following: the Company’s revenues being derived from a small group of customers; the Company’s dependence on significant vendors and manufacturers and the popularity of their products; pending SEC investigation or litigation could subject the Company to significant costs, judgments or penalties and could divert management’s attention; some revenues are dependent on consumer preferences and demand; a continued deterioration in businesses of significant customers, due to weak economic conditions, could harm the Company’s business; the seasonality and variability in the Company’s business and that decreased sales during peak season could adversely affect its results of operations; the Company’s dependence on a small number of licensed property and licensors in the anime genre; some revenues are substantially dependent on television exposure; technological developments, particularly in the electronic downloading arena which could adversely impact sales, margins and results of operations; increased counterfeiting or piracy which could negatively affect demand for the Company’s products; the Company may not be able to protect its intellectual property; the loss of key personnel could effect the depth, quality and effectiveness of the management team; the Company’s ability to meet its significant working capital requirements or if working capital requirements change significantly; product returns or inventory obsolescence could reduce sales and profitability or negatively

impact the Company’s liquidity; the potential for inventory values to decline; further impairment in the carrying value of the Company’s assets could negatively affect consolidated results of operations; the Company’s credit exposure due to reseller arrangements or negative trends which could cause credit loss; the Company’s ability to adequately and timely adjust cost structure for decreased demand; the Company’s ability to compete effectively in publishing and distribution, which are highly competitive industries; the Company’s dependence on third-party shipping of its product; the Company’s dependence on information systems; future acquisitions could disrupt business; interruption of the Company’s business or catastrophic loss at a facility which could curtail or shutdown its business; the potential for future terrorist activities to disrupt operations or harm assets; the level of indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition; a change in interest rates on our variable rate debt could adversely impact the Company’s operations; the Company may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service debt obligations; the Company may incur additional debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with current debt levels; the Company’s debt agreement limits our operating and financial flexibility; fluctuations in stock price could adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise capital or make our securities undesirable; the Company may fail to meet the Nasdaq Global Market requirements and therefore its common stock could be delisted; the exercise of outstanding warrants and options adversely affecting stock price; the Company’s anti-takeover provisions, its ability to issue preferred stock and its staggered board may discourage take-over attempts beneficial to shareholders; the Company does not plan to pay dividends on common stock, thus shareholders should not expect a return on investment through dividend payments; and the Company’s directors may not be personally liable for certain actions which may discourage shareholder suits against them.

A detailed statement of risks and uncertainties is contained in our reports to the SEC, including, in particular, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009 and other public filings and disclosures. Investors and shareholders are urged to read these documents carefully.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, production costs and license fees, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, inventory valuation, share-based compensation, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies as discussed in greater detail under this heading in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Sales to Net Sales Before Inter-Company Eliminations

In evaluating our financial performance and operating trends, management considers information concerning net sales before inter-company eliminations of sales that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful because they provide supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluation of financial results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Net sales before inter-company eliminations has limitations as a supplemental measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

The following table represents a reconciliation of GAAP net sales to net sales before inter-company eliminations:

Fiscal 2010 First Quarter Results Compared To Fiscal 2009 First Quarter

Net Sales

Net sales for the publishing segment were $24.9 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $27.4 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The 9.3% decrease in net sales over the prior year quarter was primarily due to the wind down of BCI in fiscal 2009 which generated $4.4 million in net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $136,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and decreased sales due to the deteriorating economic conditions. These sales decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales of anime products of $4.1 million due to increased sales to a major retailer and an agent fee related to a new licensing agreement. The Company believes future net sales will be dependent upon the ability to continue to add new, appealing content and upon the strength of the retail environment and overall economic conditions.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the publishing segment was $11.8 million or 47.6% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $10.3 million or 37.5% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in gross profit was a result of product sales mix and reduced royalty rates payable to certain licensors. The increase in gross profit margin percentage from 37.5% to 47.6%, a total increase of 10.1%, was due to improved margins from product sales mix, reduced royalty rates payable to certain licensors and an agent fee related to a new licensing agreement. We expect gross profit rates to fluctuate depending principally upon the make-up of products sold and the amount, if any, of sublicensing or agency revenue.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased $1.1 million for the publishing segment to $5.7 million or 22.8% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, from $6.8 million or 24.9% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Overall expenses decreased in all categories of operating expenses except general and administrative expense.

Selling and marketing expenses for the publishing segment were $2.1 million or 8.5% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $2.8 million or 10.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was principally due to expense savings from the restructuring activities that we undertook during fiscal 2009.

General and administrative expenses for the publishing segment consist principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the publishing segment were $2.8 million or 11.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $2.6 million or 9.5% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to the $648,000 performance based cash compensation accrual recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to a nominal bonus accrual recorded during the prior year quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the publishing segment was $732,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The reduction in amortization expense was associated with the masters’ cost basis reduction, which occurred as part of the restructuring activities that we undertook during fiscal 2009, as well as a decrease in the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.

Operating Income

The publishing segment had net operating income of $6.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $3.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Distribution Segment

The distribution segment distributes PC software, DVD video, video games and accessories.

Fiscal 2010 First Quarter Results Compared To Fiscal 2009 First Quarter

Net Sales

Net sales for the distribution segment decreased 8.8% to $121.4 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $133.1 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Net sales decreased in the software product group to $101.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from $105.5 million for the same period last year due to loss of sales from a large retailer that filed for bankruptcy during fiscal 2009 and subsequently decided to liquidate. DVD video net sales decreased to $11.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from $13.7 million in first quarter of fiscal 2009, due primarily to a decrease in sales resulting from the timing of new releases and the overall deteriorating economic conditions. Video games net sales decreased to $8.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from $13.9 million for the same period last year, due to several new releases in the prior year. The Company believes future net sales results will be dependent upon the ability to continue to add new, appealing content and upon the strength of the retail environment and overall economic conditions.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the distribution segment was $11.7 million or 9.7% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $11.9 million or 8.9% of net sales for first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the sales volume decrease. The increase in gross profit margin percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was due to the increased sales of higher margin products. We expect gross profit rates to fluctuate depending principally upon the make-up of products sold.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the distribution segment were $11.4 million or 9.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $12.5 million or 9.4% as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Overall expenses for general and administrative and distribution and warehouse expenses decreased, which were partially offset by the increased selling and marketing and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses for the distribution segment increased to $3.1 million or 2.5% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $2.9 million or 2.2% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily due to an increase in commission expense driven by the payment of commissions to customer specific brokers who achieved increased sales.

Distribution and warehousing expenses for the distribution segment decreased to $2.1 million or 1.7% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $2.9 million or 2.2% as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 due to the restructuring activities, a workforce reduction completed during fiscal 2009 and operational efficiencies.

General and administrative expenses for the distribution segment consist principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the distribution segment were $5.2 million or 4.3% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $5.9 million or 4.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily a result of reduced expenses related to the fiscal 2009 ERP implementation of $1.0 million, a workforce reduction and a decrease in professional fees, which were offset by the $1.0 million performance based cash compensation accrual recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to a nominal bonus accrual recorded during the prior year quarter.

Depreciation and amortization for the distribution segment was $1.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $935,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This increase was primarily due to the depreciation of the ERP system, which was implemented during fiscal 2009.

Operating Income (Loss)

Net operating income for the distribution segment was $364,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to net operating loss of $691,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Consolidated Other Income and Expense

Interest expense was $719,000 for first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $1.6 million for first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was a result of a reduction in debt, a reduction of effective interest rates and a write-off of debt acquisition costs of $490,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Interest income, which primarily relates to interest on available cash balances, was $7,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $15,000 for the same period last year. Other income (expense), net, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was net income of $451,000, which amount consisted of foreign exchange gain. Other income (expense), net, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was net expense of $98,000 and consisted of foreign exchange loss.

Consolidated Income Tax Expense

We recorded consolidated income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 of $2.1 million or an effective tax rate of 33.5% compared to $428,000 or an effective tax rate of 40.6% for first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to a change in the effective state income tax rate as a result of our completed fiscal 2009 income tax returns.

Deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not, based on the weight of available evidence, we would not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets. An assessment is required of all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the amount of any required valuation allowance. During fiscal 2009, we recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $21.4 million, which represents the amount of temporary differences we do not anticipate recognizing with future projected income for fiscal years 2010 through 2013, or by net operating loss carrybacks. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2009 was $21.2 million.

We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007 which had no impact on our retained earnings. At adoption, we had approximately $417,000 of gross unrecognized income tax benefits (“UTB’s”) as a result of the implementation of FIN 48 and approximately $327,000 of UTB’s, net of deferred federal and state income tax benefits, related to various federal and state matters, that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. We recognize interest accrued related to UTB’s in the provision for income taxes. As of April 1, 2009, interest accrued was approximately $127,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, an additional $73,000 of UTB’s was accrued, which was net of $20,000 of deferred federal and state income tax benefits. As of June 30, 2009, interest accrued was $142,000 and total UTB’s, net of deferred federal and state income tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized, were $1.0 million.

Consolidated Net Income

For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded net income of $4.2 million, compared to net income of $627,000 for the same period last year.

Market Risk

As of June 30, 2009 we had $23.2 million of indebtedness, which was subject to interest rate fluctuations. Based on these borrowings, which are subject to interest rate fluctuations, a 100-basis point change in LIBOR or index rate would cause our annual interest expense to change by $232,000.

We have a limited number of customers in Canada, where the sales and purchasing activity results in receivables and accounts payables denominated in Canadian dollars. When these transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the effective exchange rate in effect at the time of each transaction, gain or loss is recognized. These gains and/or losses are reported as a separate component within other income and expense.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009 we had foreign exchange gain of $451,000 compared to foreign exchange loss of $98,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gain or loss on these activities is a function of the change in the foreign exchange rate between the sale or purchase date and the collection or payment of cash. Though the change in the exchange rate is out of our control, we periodically monitor the Canadian activities and can reduce exposure from the exchange rate fluctuations by limiting these activities or taking other actions, such as exchange rate hedging.

Seasonality and Inflation

Quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our business. Specifically, our third quarter (October 1–December 31) typically accounts for our largest quarterly revenue figures and a substantial portion of our earnings. As a supplier of products ultimately sold to retailers, our business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to other suppliers of retailers, particularly during the holiday selling season. Poor economic conditions during this period could negatively affect our operating results. Inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations since we can generally offset the impact of inflation through a combination of productivity gains and price increases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2010 was $1.8 million and cash used in operating activities was $9.9 million for the same period last year.

The net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2010 mainly reflected our net income, combined with various non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $4.9 million, amortization of debt acquisition costs of $109,000, share-based compensation of $257,000, deferred income taxes of $1.9 million, a decrease in deferred compensation of $198,000 and an increase in deferred revenue of $92,000, offset by our working capital demands. The following are changes in the operating assets and liabilities during the first three months of fiscal 2010: accounts receivable decreased $15.5 million, reflecting strong cash collections; inventories increased $7.7 million, primarily reflecting higher inventories in anticipation of our second quarter operating needs; prepaid expenses increased $162,000, primarily reflecting timing of insurance premium payments; production costs and license fees increased $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, due to content acquisitions; income taxes receivable decreased $246,000 primarily due to the timing of required tax payments and tax refunds; other assets decreased $227,000 due to amortization and recoupments; accounts payable decreased $14.8 million, primarily as a result of timing of disbursements; and accrued expenses increased $973,000 primarily as a result of the performance based cash compensation accrual.

The net cash used in operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2009 of $9.9 million was primarily the result of net income, combined with various non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $4.2 million, write-off of debt acquisition costs of $490,000, share-based compensation of $288,000, deferred income taxes of $1.2 million, an increase in deferred compensation of $208,000 and an increase in deferred revenue of $525,000, offset by our working capital demands.

We recorded no proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and warrants during the first three months of fiscal 2010 and $12,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2009.

Capital Resources

In October 2001, we entered into a credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”), which has been amended. The credit agreement currently provides for a senior secured eighteen month (through June 30, 2010), $65.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving facility is available for working capital and general corporate needs and is subject to certain borrowing base requirements. The revolving facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets, as well as the capital stock of our subsidiary companies. At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 the Company had $23.2 million and $24.1 million, respectively outstanding. At June 20, 2009, based on the facility’s borrowing base and other requirements, the Company had excess availability of $9.3 million.

We entered into a four-year $15.0 million Term Loan facility with Monroe Capital Advisors, LLC (“Monroe”) as administrative agent, agent and lender on March 22, 2007. The Term Loan facility called for monthly installments of $12,500, annual excess cash flow payments and final payment on March 22, 2011. The facility was secured by a second priority security interest in all of our assets. At March 31, 2008, we had $9.7 million outstanding on the Term Loan facility, which was paid in full on June 12, 2008 in connection with the Third Amendment to the GE revolving facility.

On June 12, 2008, the Company entered into a Third Amendment and Waiver to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with GE which, among other things, revised the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “GE Facility”) as follows: (i) permitted us to pay off the remaining $9.7 million balance of the term loan facility with Monroe; (ii) created a $6.0 million tranche of borrowings subject to interest at the index rate plus 6.25%, or LIBOR plus 7.5%; (iii) modified the interest rate payable in connection with borrowings to range from an index rate of 0.75% to 1.75%, or LIBOR plus 2.0% to 3.0%, depending upon borrowing availability during the prior fiscal quarter; (iv) extended the term of the GE Facility to March 22, 2012; (v) modified the prepayment penalty to 1.5% during the first year following the date of the Third Amendment, 1% during the second year following the date of the Third Amendment, and 0.5% during the third year following the date of the Third Amendment; and (vi) modified certain financial covenants as of March 31, 2008.

On October 30, 2008, we entered into a Fourth Amendment and Waiver to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with GE which revised the GE Facility as follows: effective as of September 30, 2008, (i) clarified the calculation of “EBITDA” under the credit agreement to indicate that it will not be impacted by any pre-tax, non-cash charges to earnings related to goodwill impairment; and (ii) revised the definition of “Index Rate” to indicate that the interest rate for non-LIBOR borrowings will not be less than the LIBOR rate for an interest period of three months.

On February 5, 2009, we entered into a Fifth Amendment and Waiver to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with GE which revised the terms of the GE Facility as follows: effective as of December 31, 2008, (i) clarified that the calculation of “EBITDA” under the credit agreement will not be impacted by certain pre-tax, non-cash restructuring charges to earnings, or in connection with cash charges to earnings recognized in our financial results for the period ending December 31, 2008

related to a force reduction; (ii) eliminated the $6.0 million tranche of borrowings under the credit facility; (iii) modified the interest rate in connection with borrowings under the facility to index rate plus 5.75%, or LIBOR plus 4.75%; (iv) altered the commitment termination date of the credit facility to June 30, 2010; (v) eliminated the pre-payment penalty; and (vi) modified certain financial covenants as of December 31, 2008 and thereafter. Additionally, the Fifth Amendment modified the total borrowings available to $65.0 million.

In association with the credit agreement, we also pay certain facility and agent fees. Weighted average interest on the revolving facility was 5.1% at June 30, 2009 and 5.6% at March 31, 2009 and is payable monthly.

Under the revolving credit facility we are required to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants include a variety of financial metrics that are used to determine our overall financial stability and include limitations on our capital expenditures, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, minimum EBITDA and a borrowing base availability requirement. We were in compliance with all the covenants related to the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2009. We currently believe we will be in compliance with all covenants over the next twelve months.

Liquidity

We continually monitor our actual and forecasted cash flows, our liquidity and our capital resources. We plan for potential fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory and payment of obligations to creditors and unbudgeted business activities that may arise during the year as a result of changing business conditions or new opportunities. In addition to working capital needs for the general and administrative costs of our ongoing operations, we have cash requirements for, among other things: (1) investments in our publishing segment in order to license content; (2) investments in our distribution segment in order to sign exclusive distribution agreements; (3) equipment needs for our operations; and (4) the remaining $2.0 million payable to our former Chief Executive Officer for post-retirement benefits. During the first three months of fiscal 2010, we invested approximately $2.3 million, before recoveries, in connection with the acquisition of licensed and exclusively distributed product in our publishing and distribution segments.

Our credit agreement provides for a $65.0 million revolving facility (through June 30, 2010), which is subject to certain borrowing base requirements and is available for working capital and general corporate needs. As of June 30, 2009, we had $23.2 million outstanding on the revolving sub-facility and excess availability of $9.3 million, based on the terms of the agreement.

We currently believe cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from the expected results of operations and funds available under our existing credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements, other cash needs, and to finance expansion plans and strategic initiatives in the foreseeable future, absent significant acquisitions. Any growth through acquisitions would likely require the use of additional equity or debt capital, some combination thereof, or other financing.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents information regarding contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009 by fiscal year (in thousands).

We have excluded our FIN 48 liabilities from the table above because we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities. Additionally, interest payments related to the revolving credit facility have been excluded.
