FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
Certain
statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contain or may contain
forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived
utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These
risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, our
ability to implement our strategic initiatives (including our ability to
successfully complete, produce, market and/or sell the DMSP and/or our ability
to eliminate cash flow deficits by increasing our sales), economic, political
and market conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation,
interest rate risk, U.S. and global competition, and other factors affecting the
Company's operations and the fluctuation of our common stock price, and other
factors discussed elsewhere in this report and in other documents filed by us
with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Most
of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond
our control. You should consider the areas of risk described in connection with
any forward-looking statements that may be made herein. You are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
June 30, 2009. You should carefully review this Form 10-Q in its entirety,
including but not limited to our financial statements and the notes thereto, as
well as our most recently filed 10-KSB, including the risks described in "Item 1
- Business - Risk Factors" of that 10-KSB. Except for our ongoing obligations to
disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no
obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements,
to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. Actual
results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. In light of
these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the
forward-looking information contained in this report will, in fact, occur. For
any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the
protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Nature of
Business (continued)
The
Company’s Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group consists of its Infinite
Conferencing (“Infinite”) division and its EDNet division. The Company’s
Infinite division, which operates primarily from facilities in the New York
City metropolitan area, generates revenues from usage charges and fees for other

audio and web conferencing services – see note 2. The EDNet division, which
operates primarily from facilities in San Francisco, California, provides
connectivity within the entertainment and advertising industries through its
managed network, which encompasses production and post-production companies,
advertisers, producers, directors, and talent. The global network, with
approximately 500 active clients in cities throughout the United States, Canada,
Mexico, Europe, and the Pacific Rim, enables high-speed exchange of high quality

distance carriers, regional phone companies, satellite operators, and major
internet service providers. EDNet also provides systems integration and
engineering services, application-specific technical advice, audio equipment,
proprietary and off-the-shelf codecs, teleconferencing equipment, and other
innovative products to facilitate the Company's broadcast and production
applications. EDNet generates revenues from network usage, the sale, rental and
installation of equipment, and other related fees.
Liquidity
The
consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the
Company is an ongoing concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
has incurred losses since its inception, and has an accumulated deficit of
approximately $112.4 million as of June 30, 2009. The Company's operations have
been financed primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. For the year
ended September 30, 2008, ONSM had a net loss of approximately $6.6 million,
although cash provided by operations for that period was approximately $69,000.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, ONSM had a net loss of approximately
$10.1 million, although cash provided by operations for that period was
approximately $154,000. Although the Company had cash of approximately
$586,000 at June 30, 2009, working capital was a deficit of approximately $2.2
million at that date.
The
Company is constantly evaluating its cash needs, in order to make appropriate
adjustments to operating expenses. Depending on its actual future cash needs,
the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity capital to provide
funding for ongoing future operations, or to refinance existing indebtedness. No
assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining
additional capital, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable
to the Company. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability
to raise capital and to market and sell its services successfully. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result if the Company is unsuccessful.

NOTE 1:
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Liquidity
(continued)
During
February 2009, the Company took actions to reduce its personnel and certain
other operating costs by approximately $65,000 per month, which savings are
fully reflected in the operating results for the three months ended June 30,
2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company obtained $1.0
million incremental financing proceeds – see Note 4. The Company has estimated
that, absent any further reductions in its current and planned expenditure
levels, and after considering the effects of the above noted cost reductions and
incremental financing, it would require an approximately 10-11% increase in
its consolidated revenues starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, as
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009, in order to adequately
fund those expenditures (including debt service and anticipated capital
expenditures) through September 30, 2009. The Company has estimated
that, in addition to this ongoing revenue increase, it will also require a
one-time cash infusion of approximately $1.0 to $1.5 million to adequately
address its current working capital deficit, although it expects that this full
amount will not be required on or before September 30, 2009.
The
Company has implemented specific actions, including hiring additional sales
personnel, developing new products and initiating new marketing programs, geared
towards achieving the above revenue increases. The costs associated with
these actions were contemplated in the above calculations. However,
in the event the Company is unable to achieve these revenue increases, it
believes that a combination of identified decreases in its current level of
expenditures that it would implement and the raising of additional capital in
the form of debt and/or equity that it believes it could obtain from identified
sources would be sufficient to allow the Company to operate through September
30, 2009. Effective April 1, 2009, the Company began to identify and implement
certain infrastructure and other cost savings. The Company will closely monitor
its revenue and other business activity through the remainder of fiscal 2009 to
determine if further cost reductions, the raising of additional capital or other
activity is considered necessary.
Basis of
Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Onstream
Media Corporation and its subsidiaries - Entertainment Digital Network, Inc.,
Media On Demand, Inc., HotelView Corporation, OSM Acquisition, Inc., AV
Acquisition, Inc., Auction Video Japan, Inc. and Infinite Conferencing, Inc. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Cash and
cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents consists of all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places
its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and does not require collateral from them. Reserves for credit losses
are maintained at levels considered adequate by management.

NOTES TO
THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30,
2009
NOTE 1:
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Bad Debt
Reserves
Where the
Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer's ability
to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance
against amounts due from it, and thereby reduces the receivable to an amount the
Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the
Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time
the receivables are past due, the current business environment and historical
experience. Bad debt reserves were approximately $197,000 and $30,000, at June
30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity
of the instruments. The carrying amounts of the current portion of notes and
leases payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the
instruments, as well as the market value interest rates they carry.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157, "Fair Value
Measurements", which is discussed in “Effects of Recent Accounting
Pronouncements” below. Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities,
identified based on the definition of a financial instrument contained in SFAS
107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. This definition
includes a contract that imposes a contractual obligation on the Company to
exchange other financial instruments with the other party to the contract on
potentially unfavorable terms. The Company has determined that the Rockridge
Note and the Equipment Notes discussed in Note 4 and the redeemable portion of
the Series A-12 (preferred stock) discussed in Note 6 are financial liabilities
subject to the accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS 157.
Under
SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the exchange 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. Valuation techniques used
to measure fair value under SFAS 157 should maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a
fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are
considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure
fair value:
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or

Fair
Value Measurements (continued)
The
Company has determined that there are no Level 1 inputs for determining the fair
value of the Rockridge Note, the Equipment Notes or the redeemable portion of
the Series A-12. However, the Company has determined that the fair value of the
Rockridge Note, the Equipment Notes and the redeemable portion of the Series
A-12 may be determined using Level 2 inputs, as follows: the fair market value
interest rate paid by the Company under its line of credit arrangement (the
“Line”) as discussed in Note 4 and the value of conversion rights contained in
those arrangements, based on the same Black Scholes valuation model used by the
Company to value its options and warrants. The Company has also determined that
the fair value of the Rockridge Note, the Equipment Notes and the redeemable
portion of the Series A-12 may be determined using Level 3 inputs, as follows:
third party studies arriving at recommended discount factors for valuing
payments made in unregistered restricted stock instead of cash.
Based on
the use of the inputs described above, the Company has determined that there was
no material difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the
Rockridge Note, the Equipment Notes and the redeemable portion of the Series
A-12 as of October 1, 2008 or as of June 30, 2009 and therefore no adjustment
for the effect of SFAS 157 was made to the Company’s financial statements as of
June 30, 2009 or for the three and nine months then ended.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated
at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning
of the lease term or the fair value at the inception of the lease. Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the related assets. Amortization expense on assets acquired under capital leases
is included in depreciation expense. The costs of leasehold improvements are
amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the life of the
improvement.
Included
in property and equipment is computer software developed for internal use,
including the Digital Media Services Platform (“DMSP”) and the iEncode
webcasting software – see notes 2 and 3. Such amounts have been
accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1 “Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” and
Emerging Issues Task Force pronouncement (“EITF”) 00–2 “Accounting for Web
Site Development Costs”. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line
basis over three to five years, commencing when the related asset (or major
upgrade release thereof) has been substantially placed in
service.

Goodwill
and other intangible assets
In
accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is
reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for
impairment. Other intangible assets, such as customer lists, are amortized to
expense over their estimated useful lives, although they are still subject to
review and adjustment for impairment.
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of such assets by comparing
the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the related asset or group
of assets against their respective carrying amounts. The impairment amount, if
any, is calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair
value of those assets.
The
Company follows a two step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first
step of this test, used to identify potential impairment and described above,
compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including
goodwill. The second step, if necessary, measures the amount of the impairment,
including a comparison and reconciliation of the carrying value of all Company
reporting units to the Company's market capitalization, after appropriate
adjustments for control premium and other considerations. See Note 2 –
Goodwill and other Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
from sales of goods and services are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of
an arrangement between the Company and the customer exists, (ii) the good or
service has been provided to the customer, (iii) the price to the customer is
fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility of the sales prices is reasonably
assured.
The
Webcasting division of the Digital Media Services Group recognizes revenue from
live and on-demand webcasts at the time an event is accessible for streaming
over the Internet. Webcasting services are provided to customers
using the Company’s proprietary streaming media software, tools and processes.
Customer billings are typically based on (i) the volume of data streamed at
rates agreed upon in the customer contract or (ii) a set monthly fee. Since the
primary deliverable for the webcasting group is a webcast, returns are
inapplicable. If the Company has difficulty in producing the webcast,
it may reduce the fee charged to the customer. Historically these
reductions have been immaterial, and are recorded in the month the event
occurs.
Services
for live webcast events are usually sold for a single price that includes
on-demand webcasting services in which the Company hosts an archive of the
webcast event for future access on an on-demand basis for periods ranging from
one month to one year. However, on-demand webcasting services are sometimes sold
separately without the live event component and the Company has referred to
these separately billed transactions as verifiable and objective evidence of the
amount of its revenues related to on-demand services. In addition,
the Company has determined that the material portion of all views of archived
webcasts take place within the first ten days after the live
webcast.

Revenue
Recognition (continued)
Based on
its review of the above data, the Company has determined that the material
portion of its revenues for on-demand webcasting services are recognized during
the period in which those services are provided, which complies with the
provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101 and SAB 104, “Revenue
Recognition”, and EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Elements”. Furthermore, the Company has determined that the maximum potentially
deferrable revenue from on-demand webcasting services charged for but not
provided as of September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009 is immaterial in relation to
the Company’s recorded liabilities.
The
Travel division of the Digital Media Services Group recognizes a portion of its
contract revenue at the time of completion of video production services with the
remaining revenue recognized over the term of the contract. Per hit charges are
recognized when users watch a video on the Internet. Fixed monthly
fees are recognized on a monthly basis consistent with the terms of the
contract. Commissions on bookings are recognized when the stays are
completed.
The
Company includes the DMSP and UGC divisions’ revenues, along with the Smart
Encoding division’s revenues from hosting, storage and streaming, in the DMSP
and hosting revenue caption. The Company includes the Travel division revenues,
the EDNet division’s revenues from equipment sales and rentals and the Smart
Encoding division’s revenues from encoding and editorial services in the Other
Revenue caption.
The DMSP,
UGC and Smart Encoding divisions of the Digital Media Services Group recognizes
revenues from the acquisition, editing, transcoding, indexing, storage and
distribution of its customers’ digital media. Charges to customers by the Smart
Encoding and UGC divisions are generally based on the activity or volumes of
such media, expressed in megabytes or similar terms, and are recognized at the
time the service is performed. Charges to customers by the DMSP division are
generally based on a monthly subscription fee, as well as charges for hosting,
storage and professional services. Fees charged to customers for customized
applications or set-up are recognized as revenue at the time the application or
set-up is completed.
The
Infinite Conferencing division of the Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group
generates revenues from audio conferencing and web conferencing services, plus
recording and other ancillary services. Infinite owns telephone
switches used for audio conference calls by its customers, which are generally
charged for those calls based on a per-minute usage rate. Infinite provides
online webconferencing services to its customers, charging either a per-minute
rate or a monthly subscription fee allowing a certain level of usage. Audio
conferencing and web conferencing revenue is recognized based on the timing of
the customer’s use of those services.
The EDNet
division of the Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group generates revenues
from customer usage of digital telephone connections controlled by EDNet, as
well as bridging services and the sale and rental of equipment. EDNet
purchases digital phone lines from telephone companies and sells access to the
lines, as well as separate per-minute usage charges. Network usage and bridging
revenue is recognized based on the timing of the customer’s use of those
services.

Revenue
Recognition (continued)
EDNet
sells various audio codecs and video transport systems, equipment which enables
its customers to collaborate with other companies or with other
locations. As such, revenue is recognized for the sale of equipment
when the equipment is installed or upon signing of a contract after the
equipment is installed and successfully operating. All sales are
final and there are no refund rights or rights of return. EDNet leases some
equipment to customers under terms that are accounted for as operating
leases. Rental revenue from leases is recognized ratably over the
life of the lease and the related equipment is depreciated over its estimated
useful life. All leases of the related equipment contain fixed
terms.
Deferred
revenue represents amounts billed to customers for webcasting, EDNet, smart
encoding or DMSP services to be provided in future accounting
periods. As projects or events are completed and/or the services
provided, the revenue is recognized.
Comprehensive
Income or Loss
The
Company has no components of other comprehensive income or loss, and
accordingly, net loss equals comprehensive loss for all periods
presented.
Advertising
and marketing
Advertising
and marketing costs, which are charged to operations as incurred and included in
Professional Fees and Other General and Administrative Operating Expenses, were
approximately $244,000 and $396,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
Income
Taxes
Significant
judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes,
its deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded
against those deferred tax assets. The Company had a deferred tax asset of
approximately $30.9 million as of September 30, 2008, primarily resulting from
net operating loss carryforwards. A full valuation allowance has been recorded
related to the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the
benefits of certain net operating loss carryforwards before they expire.
Management will continue to assess the likelihood that the deferred tax asset
will be realizable and the valuation allowance will be adjusted
accordingly.
Accordingly,
no income tax benefit was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of
operations as a result of the net tax losses for the year ended September 30,
2008 or for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The primary
differences between the net loss for book and tax purposes are the following
items expensed for book purposes but not deductible for tax purposes –
amortization of certain loan discounts, amortization and/or impairment
adjustments of certain acquired intangible assets, and expenses for stock
options and shares issued in payment for consultant and employee services but
not exercised by the recipients, or in the case of shares, not registered for or
eligible for resale.

Income
Taxes (continued)
In June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48 “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which clarifies SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes” by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of the
beginning of its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2007. However, as of the date
of such adoption and as of June 30, 2009, the Company has not taken, nor
recognized the financial statement impact of, any material tax positions, as
defined by FIN 48. The Company’s policy is to recognize as non-operating expense
interest or penalties related to income tax matters at the time such payments
become probable, although it had not recognized any such material items in its
statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008. The tax
years ending September 30, 2005 and thereafter remain subject to examination by
Federal and various state tax jurisdictions.
The
Company has been assessed state income taxes, plus penalties and interest, for
the years ending September 30, 2004 and 2005, in an aggregate amount of
approximately $89,000. It has contested these assessments with the state taxing
authorities and believes the ultimate resolution will not have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position or results of operations - see note
5.
Net Loss
Per Share
For the
nine and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net loss per share is based
on the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding. Since the effect of common stock equivalents was
anti-dilutive, all such equivalents were excluded from the calculation of
weighted average shares outstanding. The total outstanding options and warrants,
which have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares
outstanding, were 15,163,163 and 14,778,311 at
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In
addition, the potential dilutive effects of the following convertible securities
outstanding at June 30, 2009 have been excluded from the calculation of weighted
average shares outstanding: (i) 70,000 shares of Series A-12 Convertible
Preferred Stock (“Series A-12”) which could potentially convert into 700,000
shares of ONSM common stock, (ii) $1,000,000 of convertible notes which in
aggregate could potentially convert into up to 1,250,000 shares of ONSM common
stock (excluding interest) and (iii) the $250,000 convertible portion of the
Rockridge Note which could potentially convert into a minimum of 625,000 shares
of ONSM common stock . The potential dilutive effects of the following
convertible securities previously outstanding at June 30, 2008 were excluded
from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding: (i) 74,841 shares
of Series A-10 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-10”) which could have
potentially converted into 748,410 shares of ONSM common stock and (ii) $950,000
of convertible notes which in aggregate could have potentially converted into up
to 1,187,500 shares of ONSM common stock (excluding interest).

Equity
Compensation to Employees and Consultants
The
Company has a stock based compensation plan for its employees (the “Plan”). In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payments”,
which requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based
payments, including employee stock options, at fair value, which the Company
adopted as of October 1, 2006 (the required date) and first applied during the
year ended September 30, 2007, using the modified-prospective-transition method.
Under this method, compensation cost recognized for the nine and three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 includes compensation cost for all share-based
payments granted subsequent to September 30, 2006, based on the grant-date fair
value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As of October
1, 2006, there were no outstanding share-based payments granted prior to that
date, but not yet vested. For Plan options that were granted and thus valued
under the Black-Scholes model during the three months ended June 30, 2009, the
expected volatility rate was 96%, the risk-free interest rate was 1.1%, expected
dividends were $0 and the expected term was 4 years, the full term of the
related options. There were no Plan options granted during the six months ended
March 31, 2009 requiring the Company’s valuation using the Black-Scholes model.
For Plan options that were granted and thus valued under the Black-Scholes model
during the three months ended June 30, 2008, the expected volatility rate was
77% to 81%, the risk-free interest rate was 3.0% to 3.4%, expected dividends
were $0 and the expected term was 4 to 6.5 years, the full term of the related
options. There were no Plan options granted during the three months ended March
31, 2008 requiring the Company’s valuation using the Black-Scholes model. For
Plan options that were granted and thus valued under the Black-Scholes model
during the three months ended December 31, 2007, the expected volatility rate
was 78% to 79%, the risk-free interest rate was 4.1% to 4.3%, expected dividends
were $0 and the expected term was 4 to 6.5 years, the full term of the related
options.
The
Company has granted Non-Plan Options to consultants and other third parties.
These options have been accounted for under SFAS 123, under which the fair value
of the options at the time of their issuance is reflected in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and expensed as professional fees at the time
the services contemplated by the options are provided to the Company. There were
no Non-Plan options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 requiring
the Company’s valuation using the Black-Scholes model. There were no Non-Plan
options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 requiring the
Company’s valuation using the Black-Scholes model. For Non-Plan options that
were granted and thus valued under the Black-Scholes model during the three
months ended December 31, 2007, the expected volatility rate was 79%, the
risk-free interest rate was 6.25%, expected dividends were $0 and the expected

Compensation
costs for employees considered to be direct labor are included as part of

Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Estimates are used when accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts,
revenue reserves, inventory reserves, depreciation and amortization, taxes,
contingencies and impairment allowances. Such estimates are reviewed on an
on-going basis and actual results could materially differ from those
estimates.
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation, including inventories and other current asset balance sheet
groupings, property and equipment footnote category classifications and segment
revenue and operating income (loss) classifications.
Interim
Financial Data
In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These interim financial statements do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as of September 30,
2008. These interim financial statements have not been audited. However,
management believes the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of ONSM and
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and the results of their operations and cash
flows for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of
operations and cash flows for the interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for the year

Effects
of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS 157
does not expand the use of fair value measures in financial statements, but
standardizes its definition and guidance by defining fair value as used in
numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures. In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one-year deferral of the
effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial
statements at fair value at least annually. SFAS 157 was effective for the
Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008, excluding the effect of the
deferral granted in FSP FAS 157-2. See “Fair Value Measurements” above. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 with respect to
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on the Company’s consolidated

In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". Under SFAS 159, the Company
may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported
in earnings. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition
of an eligible financial asset, financial liability, or firm commitment or when
certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not
be revoked once an election is made. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company’s
fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008 – however, the Company has elected not to
measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Accordingly,
the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations”, which
establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including
the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business
combination. The requirements of SFAS 141R will be effective for
the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009 and early adoption is
prohibited. Under the provisions of SFAS 141R, the Company would have recorded
as expense the $462,090 of acquisition-related costs included in other
non-current assets on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 – $418,058 of
this expense would have been recorded prior to September 30, 2008 and the
remaining $44,032 would have been recorded during the three months ended
December 31, 2008. These costs were included in the $540,007 write off of
deferred acquisition costs reflected in the Company’s results of operations for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009. The Company is currently
evaluating any additional impact SFAS 141R may have on its financial
statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets”. The objective of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency
between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under
SFAS 141 “Business Combinations” and other U.S. GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3
shall be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009 and
early adoption is prohibited. FSP FAS 142-3 applies to all intangible
assets, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise, and should be
applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact FSP FAS 142-3 may have on
its financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments
That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement)”. Among other items, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion
(including partial cash settlement) should separately account for the liability
and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible
debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The
requirements of FSP APB 14-1 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2009, including interim periods within that fiscal
year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FSP APB 14-1 may have
on its financial statements.

In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles". Under SFAS 162, the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
hierarchy will now reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB.
SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for
selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 was effective November 15, 2008 (60 days
following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.") The Company believes
that its adoption of this standard on its effective date did not have a material
effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, "Subsequent Events", which establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available
to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods
ending after June 15, 2009 and does not apply to subsequent events or
transactions that are within the scope of other applicable GAAP that provide
different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or
transactions. SFAS 165 introduces the concept of financial statements being
“available to be issued” and requires the disclosure
of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the
basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the
financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. Other than
providing this disclosure, the Company’s adoption of SFAS 165 as of and for the
period ended June 30, 2009 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In July
2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”, which identified the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Codification reorganizes
the thousands of U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and
displays all topics using a consistent structure. It also includes relevant
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance that follows the same
topical structure in separate sections in the Codification. All existing
accounting standards documents are superseded by the Codification, which is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All other accounting
literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Company
believes that its adoption of this standard on its effective date (July 1, 2009)
will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial
statements.

Infinite Conferencing –
April 27, 2007
On April
27, 2007 the Company completed the acquisition of Infinite Conferencing LLC
(“Infinite”), a Georgia limited liability company. The transaction, by which the
Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Infinite, was structured as
a merger by and between Infinite and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Infinite Conferencing, Inc. (the “Infinite Merger”). The primary assets
acquired, in addition to Infinite’s ongoing audio and web conferencing business
operations, were accounts receivable, equipment, internally developed software,
customer lists, trademarks, URLs (internet domain names), favorable supplier
terms and employment and non-compete agreements. The operations of Infinite are
part of the Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group.
The
consideration for the Infinite Merger was a combination of $14 million in cash
and 1,376,622 shares of Onstream Media restricted common stock (valued at
approximately $4.0 million, or $2.906 per share), for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $18 million, before transaction costs. Onstream arranged
a private equity financing for net proceeds totaling approximately $10.2
million, to partially fund the cash portion of the
transaction.

Infinite Conferencing –
April 27, 2007 (continued)
At the
closing of the Infinite Merger, the Company entered into a lock-up agreement
with the former Infinite shareholders that limited the extent and timing of
their sale of the 1,376,622 ONSM shares issued to them and also provided that in
the event that the accumulated gross proceeds of the sale of first 50% of those
shares was less than $2.0 million, the Company would pay the difference in
registrable ONSM common shares, or cash to the extent required by certain
restrictions. On December 27, 2007, the former Infinite shareholders notified
the Company that the first 688,311 shares had been sold by them for $1,041,601,
which would have required an additional payment by the Company in cash or shares
of approximately $958,399. The Company recorded the liability on its financial
statements as of that date, which was offset by a reduction in additional paid
in capital, and on March 12, 2008 executed collateralized promissory notes
payable to the former Infinite shareholders in final settlement of this
obligation – see note 4.
In
connection with the merger agreement, the Company entered into two employment
contracts and one consulting contract with three key Infinite executives. The
employment contracts included five-year option grants for the purchase of up to
200,000 common shares with an exercise price of $2.50 per share (fair market
value at the date of closing) and vesting over two years – see Note 8. As a
result of the April 2008 expiration and non-renewal of one of the employment
contracts, 50,000 of these options were forfeited. The employment and consulting
contracts, all of which had either expired or been terminated at various dates
through June 19, 2009, contain non-compete provisions with a minimum term of
three years from the merger closing.
The
summarized balance sheet of Infinite as of the April 27, 2007 closing of the
Infinite Merger is as follows, showing the fair values assigned by the Company
to Infinite’s assets and liabilities in accordance with SFAS 141 and recorded by
the Company at that time.

Infinite Conferencing –
April 27, 2007 (continued)
Infinite’s
management estimated the fair value of their property and equipment, primarily
phone switch equipment and related internally developed billing and management
reporting software, based on information regarding third-party sales of similar
equipment and the estimated cost to recreate the customized
software. The Company is amortizing these assets over useful lives
ranging from 3 to 5 years.
The fair
value of certain intangible assets (internally developed software, customer
lists, trademarks, URLs (internet domain names), favorable contractual terms and
employment and non-compete agreements) acquired as part of the Infinite Merger
was determined by Company management at the time of the merger. This fair value
was primarily based on the discounted projected cash flows related to these
assets for the next three to six years immediately following the merger, as
projected by the Company’s and Infinite’s management on a stand-alone basis
without regard to the Infinite Merger. The discount rate utilized considered
equity risk factors (including small stock risk) as well as risks associated
with profitability and working capital, competition, and intellectual property.
The projections were adjusted for charges related to fixed assets, working
capital and workforce retraining. The Company is amortizing these assets over
useful lives ranging from 3 to 6 years.
Infinite’s
accounts payable and accrued liabilities were generally due within thirty days
of the closing of the Infinite Merger and therefore their book carrying value as
of the date of acquisition was considered to be a reasonable estimate of their
fair value.
The
Company purchased Infinite for $18,216,529 in cash and stock. In conjunction

as goodwill, subject to regular future valuations and adjustments as required by
SFAS 142. The other intangible assets are being amortized to expense over their
estimated useful lives, although the unamortized balances are still subject to
review and adjustment for impairment. Annual reviews for impairment in future
periods may result in future periodic write-downs. Tests for
impairment between annual tests may be required if events occur or circumstances
change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the net carrying
amount.

As
discussed in “Testing for Impairment” below, the initially recorded goodwill for
Infinite Conferencing of approximately $12.0 million was determined to be
impaired as of December 31, 2008 and a $900,000 adjustment was made to reduce
the carrying value of that goodwill to approximately $11.1 million as of that
date. A similar adjustment of $200,000 was made to reduce the
carrying value of certain intangible assets acquired as part of the Infinite
Merger. These adjustments, totaling $1.1 million, were included in the aggregate
$5.5 million charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets as
reflected in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended June
30, 2009.
Auction Video – March 27,
2007
On March
27, 2007 the Company completed the acquisition of the assets, technology and
patents pending of privately owned Auction Video, Inc., a Utah corporation, and
Auction Video Japan, Inc., a Tokyo-Japan corporation (collectively, “Auction
Video”). The Auction Video, Inc. transaction was structured as a purchase of
assets and the assumption of certain identified liabilities by the Company’s
wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, AV Acquisition, Inc. The Auction Video Japan, Inc.
transaction was structured as a purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Auction Video Japan, Inc. The acquisitions were made with a
combination of 467,290 shares of restricted ONSM common stock (valued at
approximately $1.5 million, or $3.21 per share) issued to the stockholders of
Auction Video Japan, Inc. and $500,000 cash paid to certain stockholders and
creditors of Auction Video, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $2.0 million, before transaction costs. The operations of Auction
Video are part of the Digital Media Services Group.
On
December 5, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement whereby one of the former
owners of Auction Video Japan, Inc. agreed to shut down the Japan office of
Auction Video as well as assume all of the Company’s outstanding assets and
liabilities connected with that operation - see Note 5.
The
Company allocated $2,046,996 of the Auction Video purchase price to the
identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, based on a determination
of their reasonable fair value as of the date of the acquisition. $600,000 was
assigned as the value of the video ingestion and flash transcoder, which was
already integrated into the Company’s DMSP as of the date of the acquisition and
was added to that asset’s carrying cost for financial statement
purposes, with depreciation over a three-year life commencing April
2007 – see Note 3. Future cost savings for Auction Video services to be provided
to Onstream Media customers existing prior to the acquisition were valued at
$250,000 and were amortized to cost of sales over a two-year period commencing
April 2007. The technology and patent pending related to the video ingestion and
flash transcoder, the Auction Video customer lists and the consulting and
non-compete agreements entered into with the former executives and owners of
Auction Video were valued in aggregate at $1,150,000 and are being amortized
over various lives between two to five years commencing April 2007. Other
tangible assets acquired were valued at $46,996.

Subsequent
to the Auction Video acquisition, the Company began pursuing the final approval
of the patent pending application and in March 2008 retained the law firm of
Hunton & Williams to assist in expediting the patent approval process and to
help protect rights related to its UGV (User Generated Video) technology. In
April 2008, the Company revised the original patent application primarily for
the purpose of splitting it into two separate applications, which, while
related, were being evaluated separately by the U.S. Patent Office. In August
2008 and February 2009, the U.S. Patent Office issued non-final rejections of
the claims pending in the first of the two applications. As a result of the
Company’s formal appeal of the February 2009 non-final rejection, the U.S Patent
Office granted the Company a re-hearing of its patent claims by a different
examiner group within the U.S. Patent Office, which re-hearing occurred in May
2009 and resulted in another non-final rejection. The Company has until November
21, 2009 (including the available extension of up to 90 days) to appeal the
latest action. Regardless of this, the Company’s management has determined that
a final rejection of these claims would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The U.S. Patent
Office has taken no formal action with regard to the second of the two
applications.

such contract included a two-year option grant to one of the consultants for the
purchase of up to 35,000 common shares with an exercise price of $2.98 per share
(fair market value at the date of closing) and vesting over two years, which
expired as of February 28, 2009. The consulting contracts contain non-compete
provisions with a minimum term of two years from the acquisition
closing.
As
discussed in “Testing for Impairment” below, the carrying value of the initially
recorded identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the Auction Video
Acquisition were determined to be impaired as of December 31, 2008 and a
$100,000 adjustment was made to reduce the carrying value of those intangible
assets to approximately $200,000 as of that date. This $100,000

Acquired Onstream – December
23, 2004
On
October 22, 2003 the Company executed an agreement and plan of merger agreement
with privately held Onstream Media Corporation (“Acquired Onstream”) to acquire
the remaining 74% of Acquired Onstream not already owned by the Company. On
December 23, 2004, after approval by a majority of the Company’s shareholders in
a duly constituted meeting, Acquired Onstream was merged with and into OSM
Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly owned
subsidiary (the “Onstream Merger”). At that time, all outstanding shares of
Acquired Onstream capital stock and options not already owned by the Company
were converted into 2,207,966 shares of the ONSM restricted common stock and
463,554 options and warrants to purchase ONSM common stock at an exercise price
of $3.376 per share. The Company also issued common stock options to directors
and management as additional compensation at the time of and for the Onstream
Merger, accounted for in accordance with APB 25.
Acquired
Onstream was a development stage company founded in 2001 that began the
development of a feature rich digital asset management service, offered on an
application service provider (“ASP”) basis, to allow corporations to better
manage their digital rich media without the major capital expense for the
hardware, software and additional staff necessary to build their own digital
asset management solution. This new product (the “Digital Media Services
Platform” or “DMSP”) was initially designed and managed by Science Applications
International Corporation (“SAIC”), one of the country's foremost IT security
firms, providing services to all branches of the federal government as well as
leading corporations.
The
summarized balance sheet of Acquired Onstream as of the December 23, 2004
Onstream Merger is as follows, showing the fair values assigned by the Company

The
$8,421,401 excess included in the $9,974,959 paid by the Company for 100% of
Acquired Onstream over $1,553,558 (the fair values assigned to the tangible and
intangible assets, net of liabilities at fair value) was recorded by the Company
as goodwill, subject to regular future valuations and adjustments as required by
SFAS 142.
As
discussed in “Testing for Impairment” below, the initially recorded goodwill for
Acquired Onstream of approximately $8.4 million was determined to be impaired as
of December 31, 2008 and a $4.3 million adjustment was made to reduce the
carrying value of that goodwill to approximately $4.1 million as of that
date. This adjustment was included in the aggregate $5.5 million
charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets as reflected in
the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended June 30,
2009.
SFAS 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which addresses the financial accounting
and reporting standards for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to
their acquisition, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on a periodic
basis. There is a two step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first
step of this test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair
value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The
second step, if necessary, measures the amount of the impairment. The Company
performed impairment tests on Infinite Conferencing as of April 27, 2008 and
Acquired Onstream as of December 31, 2008. The Company assessed the
fair value of the net assets of these reporting units by considering the
projected cash flows and by analysis of comparable companies, including such
factors as the relationship of the comparable companies’ revenues to their
respective market values. Based on these factors, the Company
concluded that there was no impairment of Infinite Conferencing’s net assets as
of April 27, 2008. Although the first step of the two step testing process of
Acquired Onstream’s net assets (which include the DMSP) preliminarily indicated
that the fair value of those intangible assets exceeded their recorded carrying
value as of December 31, 2008, it was noted that as a result
of recent substantial volatility in the capital markets, the
Company's stock price and market value had decreased significantly and as of
December 31, 2008, the Company's market capitalization, after appropriate
adjustments for control premium and other considerations, was determined to be
less than its net book value (i.e., stockholders’ equity as reflected in the
Company’s financial statements). Based on this condition, and in accordance with
the provisions of SFAS 142, the Company recorded a non-cash expense, for the
impairment of its goodwill and other intangible assets of $5.5 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2008. As discussed above, this $5.5 million
adjustment was determined to relate to $1.1 million of goodwill and intangible
assets of Infinite Conferencing, $100,000 of intangible assets of Auction Video
and $4.3 million of goodwill of Acquired Onstream.

(Continued)
Testing for Impairment
(continued)
As part
of the second step of the two step process for testing impairment as of December
31, 2008, the April 27, 2008 testing of Infinite Conferencing was updated
through December 31, 2008. Accordingly, none of the Company’s reporting units
with significant goodwill or intangible assets were scheduled for a recurring
annual impairment review during the June 30, 2009 quarter and as of June 30,
2009, the Company had noted no business or other conditions that would indicate
the necessity for interim “step one” testing of individual reporting units for
impairment. Therefore, the comparison of the Company's market capitalization to
its net book value as of June 30, 2009 was not considered to be relevant at that
date. However, if the Company’s stock price and market value continue at the
June 30, 2009 levels or decline further, this may result in future non-cash
impairment charges to the Company’s results of operations related to its
goodwill and other intangible assets.
SFAS 142
allows the carryforward of a previous detail valuation, provided certain
criteria are met, including no significant changes in assets and liabilities of
the reporting unit since the previous valuation, a substantial margin between
the previous valuation and the carrying value at the time and a determination
that a current year impairment would be remote based on an analysis of past
events and changes in circumstances since the previous valuation. The Company
determined that these criteria were met as of September 30, 2008 and based on
this, as well as its internal valuation calculations and review for impairment
performed on a basis consistent with the September 30, 2006 detail valuation,
determined that an independent valuation of EDNet’s unamortized goodwill was not
necessary, and that no impairment existed, as of September 30,
2008.
The
valuations of EDNet, Acquired Onstream and Infinite Conferencing incorporate
management’s estimates of future sales and operating income, which estimates in
the case of Acquired Onstream are dependent on a product (the DMSP) from which
significant sales increases may be required to support that valuation. The
Company is required to perform reviews for impairment in future periods, at
least annually, that may result in future periodic write-downs. Tests
for impairment between annual tests may be required if events occur or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of

Depreciation
and amortization expense for property and equipment was approximately $1,789,000
and $2,062,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment was
approximately $343,000 and $662,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
The DMSP
is comprised of four separate “products”, which are transcoding, storage,
search/retrieval and distribution. A limited version of the DMSP, with three of
the four products, was first placed in service with third-party customers in
November 2005, at which time depreciation of 75% (for three of the four products
in service, based on guidance in SFAS 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”) of the DMSP’s carrying cost
began and continued until the fourth product was placed in service during
October 2006, at which time the Company began to depreciate 100% of the DMSP’s
carrying cost. This initial version of the DMSP offered for sale to
the general public since October 2006 is known as the “Store and Stream”
version. In connection with the development of a second version of the DMSP with
additional functionality and known as “Streaming Publisher”, the Company has
capitalized as part of the DMSP’s carrying cost approximately $613,000 of
employee compensation, payments to contract programmers and related costs as of
June 30, 2009, including $428,000 and $155,000 capitalized during the nine and
three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
On March
27, 2007 the Company completed the acquisition of Auction Video – see Note 2.
The assets acquired included a video ingestion and flash transcoder, which was
already integrated into the Company’s DMSP as of the date of the acquisition.
Based on the Company’s determination of the fair value of that transcoder at the
date of the acquisition, $600,000 was added to the DMSP’s carrying cost as
reflected above, which additional cost is being depreciated over a three-year
life commencing April 2007.

NOTE
3: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT (Continued)
On March
31, 2008 the Company agreed to pay $300,000 for a perpetual license for certain
digital asset management software, which it currently utilizes to provide its
automatic meta-tagging services, in addition to and in accordance with a limited
term license that it purchased in 2007 for $281,250 - see Note 5 for additional
terms of this perpetual license and possible limits on its future use. Although
the Company continues to use this software to provide its automatic meta-tagging
services, the Company recently expanded its use of this software in providing
its core DMSP services. Therefore, the Company recorded a portion of
this 2008 purchase, as well as a portion of the remaining unamortized amount of
the 2007 purchase, as an aggregate $243,750 increase in the DMSP’s carrying cost
as reflected above, which additional cost is being depreciated over a five-year
life commencing April 2008.
Other
capitalized internal use software as of June 30, 2009 includes approximately
$428,000 of employee compensation and related costs related to the development
of iEncode webcasting software, including $215,000 and $73,000 capitalized
during the nine and three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
NOTE 4:
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE
Convertible
Debentures
During
the period from June 3, 2008 through July 8, 2008 the Company received an
aggregate of $1.0 million from seven accredited individuals and other entities
(the “Lenders”), under a software and equipment financing arrangement. The
Company issued notes to those Lenders (the “Equipment Notes”), which are
collateralized by specifically designated software and equipment owned by the
Company with a cost basis of approximately $1.5 million, as well as a
subordinated lien on certain other Company assets to the extent that the
designated software and equipment, or other software and equipment added to the
collateral at a later date, is not considered sufficient security for the loan.
Under this arrangement, the Lenders received 10,000 restricted ONSM common
shares for each $100,000 lent to the Company, and also receive interest at 12%
per annum. Interest is payable every 6 months in cash or, at the Company’s
option, in restricted ONSM common shares, based on a conversion price equal to
seventy-five percent (75%) of the average ONSM closing price for the thirty (30)
trading days prior to the date the applicable payment is due. On November 11,
2008, the Company elected to issue 158,000 unregistered shares of common stock
in lieu of $48,740 cash interest on these Equipment Notes for the period from
June 2008 through October 2008. These shares were recorded as interest
expense of $69,520 on the Company’s books, based on the fair value of those
shares on the issuance date. The next interest due date after that was April 30,
2009, although this payment was delayed by mutual agreement with individuals
representing a majority of the Lenders, pending the Company’s negotiations with
those individuals as to a possible modification of the terms of these Equipment
Notes. The terms were not modified and on May 21, 2009, the Company elected to
issue 294,589 unregistered shares of common stock in lieu of $60,000 cash
interest on these Equipment Notes for the period from November 2008 through
April 2009. These shares were recorded as interest expense of $67,756
on the Company’s books, based on the fair value of those shares on the issuance
date. The next interest due date after that will be October 31,
2009.

NOTE 4:
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)
Convertible
Debentures (continued)
The
Company may prepay the Equipment Notes, which mature June 3, 2011, at any time
upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to the Lenders during which time the
Lender may choose to convert the Equipment Note. In the event of such
repayment, all interest accrued and due for the remaining unexpired loan period
is due and payable and may be paid in cash or restricted ONSM common shares in
accordance with the above formula.
The
outstanding principal is due on demand in the event a payment default is uncured
ten (10) business days after written notice. Lenders holding in excess of 50% of
the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes may declare a default
and may take steps to amend or otherwise modify the terms of the Equipment Notes
and related security agreement.
The
Equipment Notes may be converted to restricted ONSM common shares at any time
prior to their maturity date, at the Lender’s option, based on a conversion
price equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the average ONSM closing price for
the thirty (30) trading days prior to the date of conversion, but in no event
may the conversion price be less than $0.80 per share. In the event the
Equipment Notes are converted prior to maturity, interest on the Equipment Notes
for the remaining unexpired loan period will be due and payable in additional
restricted ONSM common shares in accordance with the same formula for interest
as described above.
Fees were
paid to placement agents and finders for their services in connection with the
Notes in aggregate of 101,250 restricted ONSM common shares and $31,500 paid in
cash. The 101,250 shares plus the 100,000 shares issued to the investors
discussed above had a fair market value of approximately $186,513. The value of
these 201,250 shares, plus the $31,500 cash fees and $9,160 paid for legal fees
and other issuance costs related to the Equipment Notes, were reflected as a
$227,173 discount against the Equipment Notes and are being amortized as
interest expense over the three year term of the Equipment Notes. The effective
interest rate of the Equipment Notes is approximately 19.5% per annum, excluding
the potential effect of a premium to market prices if payment is made in common
shares instead of cash.
Although
the minimum conversion price was established in the Equipment Notes at $0.80 per
ONSM share, the quoted market price was approximately $0.93 per ONSM share at
the time the material portion of the proceeds ($950,000 out of $1 million total)
were received by the Company (including releases of funds previously placed in
escrow) and the related Equipment Notes were issued (June 3-5, 2008). However,
the quoted market price per ONSM share was $0.81 on April 30, 2008, $0.84 on May
20, 2008 and back to $0.80 by June 27, 2008, less than one month after the
issuance of the related Equipment Notes. Therefore, the Company has determined
that the $0.80 per share conversion price in the Equipment Notes was materially
equivalent to fair value at the date of issuance, which was the intent of all
parties when the deal was originally discussed between them in late April and
early May 2008. Accordingly, the Company determined that there was not a
beneficial conversion feature included in the Equipment Notes and did not record
additional discount in that respect.
A portion
of the Rockridge Note ($250,000 face value - $151,543 net of applicable
discount) is also convertible into ONSM common shares, as discussed below, and
classified under Convertible Debentures, net of discount, on the Company’s June
30, 2009 balance sheet.

In
December 2007, the Company entered into a line of credit arrangement (the
“Line”) with a financial institution under which it could borrow up to an
aggregate of $1.0 million for working capital, collateralized by its accounts
receivable. In August 2008 the maximum allowable borrowing amount under the Line
was increased to $1.6 million and the Company has received $1.2 million and $1.6
million funding under the Line as of September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009,
respectively. The outstanding balance bears interest at prime plus 8% per annum
(prime plus 11% from December 2, 2008), payable monthly in arrears. The Company
paid initial origination and commitment fees aggregating $20,015 and in August
2008 paid an additional commitment fee of $6,000 related to the increase in the
lending limit. A commitment fee of $16,000 was paid on the one year anniversary
of the initial commitment and will be due for any subsequent year. The
outstanding principal may be repaid at any time, but no later than two (2) years
after the date of the agreement, which term may be extended by the Company for
an extra year, subject to compliance with all loan terms, including no material
adverse change. The outstanding principal is due on demand in the event a
payment default is uncured five (5) days after written notice. Mr. Leon
Nowalsky, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is also a founder and
board member of the lender.

The Line
is also subject to the Company maintaining an adequate level of receivables,
based on certain formulas, as well as its compliance with debt service coverage
and minimum tangible net worth covenants. Although the balance outstanding
during January 2009, part of February 2009, part of July 2009 and part of August
2009 was in excess of the allowable borrowing amount based on the formulas
discussed above, subsequent principal payments reduced the outstanding balance
so that it no longer exceeded the allowable borrowing amount. The terms of the
Line do not specify the allowable time period to repay borrowings in excess of
the allowable borrowing amount, but the lender has waived any breach related to
these past overages. In addition, the Company received waivers from the lender
with respect to lack of compliance with the tangible net worth covenant as of
June 30, 2008, with respect to the tangible net worth and debt service to cash
flow covenants as of June 30, 2008 and for the quarter then ended, with respect
to the tangible net worth and debt service to cash flow covenants as of
September 30, 2008 and for the quarter then ended, with respect to the tangible
net worth and debt service to cash flow covenants as of December 31, 2008 and
for the quarter then ended, with respect to the tangible net worth and covenants
as of March 31, 2009 and for the quarter then ended and with respect to the
tangible net worth and debt service to cash flow covenants as of June 30, 2009
and for the quarter then ended.
The
lender must approve any additional debt incurred by the Company, other than debt
incurred in the ordinary course of business (which includes equipment
financing). Accordingly the lender has approved the Infinite Notes issued by the
Company in March 2008 with an initial amount of $858,399 as discussed below, the
$1.0 million aggregate debt for Equipment Notes the Company issued in June and
July 2008, as discussed above, the Company’s December 2008 issuance of the
Series A-12 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of
$800,000, as discussed in Note 6 and the Company’s April 2009 issuance of the
Rockridge Note for a face value of up to $1.0 million, as discussed
below.
In April
2009 the Company received $750,000 from Rockridge Capital Holdings, LLC
(“Rockridge”), an entity controlled by one of the Company’s largest
shareholders, in accordance with the terms of a Note and Stock Purchase
Agreement (the “Rockridge Agreement”) that the Company entered into with
Rockridge dated April 14, 2009. In June 2009, the Company received an additional
$250,000 from Rockridge in accordance with the Rockridge Agreement, for total
borrowings thereunder of $1.0 million. In connection with this transaction, the
Company issued a Note (the “Rockridge Note”), which is collateralized by a first
priority lien on all Company assets, such lien subordinated only to the extent
higher priority liens on assets, primarily accounts receivable and certain
designated software and equipment, are held by certain of other lenders to the
Company. The Company also entered into a Security Agreement with Rockridge that
contains certain covenants and other restrictions with respect to the
collateral.
The
Rockridge Note is repayable in equal monthly installments of $38,268 which
commenced May 14, 2009 and extend over two years, which installments include
principal (except for a $250,000 balloon payable at the end of the two year
period) plus interest (at 12% per annum) on the remaining unpaid balance. The
Rockridge Agreement also provides that Rockridge may receive an origination fee
upon not less than sixty-one (61) days written notice to the Company, which fee
would be satisfied by the Company’s issuance of 1,500,000 restricted ONSM common
shares (the “Shares”).

(continued)
The
Rockridge Agreement provides that on April 14, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”) the
Company shall pay Rockridge up to a maximum of $75,000, based on the sum of (i)
the cash difference between the per share value of $0.20 (the “Minimum Per Share
Value”) and the average sale price for all previously sold Shares (whether
such number is positive or negative) multiplied by the number of sold
Shares and (ii) for the Shares which were not previously sold by Rockridge, the
cash difference between the Minimum Per Share Value and the market value of the
Shares at the Maturity Date (whether such number is positive or negative)
multiplied by the number of unsold Shares, up to a maximum amount of $75,000 in
the aggregate for items (i) and (ii). The closing ONSM share price was $0.32 per
share on August 7, 2009 and $0.59 per share on August 13, 2009.
Legal
fees totaling $43,599 were paid or accrued by the Company as of June 30,
2009 in connection with the Rockridge Agreement. The 1,500,000 Shares
discussed above had a fair market value of approximately $360,000 at the date of
the Rockridge Agreement. The value of these Shares plus the legal fees paid or
accrued were reflected as a $403,599 discount against the Rockridge Note and are
being amortized as interest expense over the two year term of the Rockridge
Note. The effective interest rate of the Rockridge Note is approximately 44.3%
per annum, excluding the potential effect of a premium to market prices if the
balloon payment is satisfied in common shares instead of cash as well as the
potential effect of any appreciation in the value of the Shares at the time of
issuance beyond their value at the date of the Rockridge Agreement.
Upon
notice from Rockridge at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity
Date up to $250,000 of the outstanding principal of the Rockridge Note may be
converted into a number of restricted shares of ONSM common stock, subject to a
minimum of one month between conversion notices unless such conversion amount
exceeds $25,000. The conversion price shall be eighty percent (80%) of the fair
market value of the average closing bid price for ONSM common stock for the
twenty (20) days of trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market (or such other exchange
or market on which ONSM common shares are trading) prior to such Rockridge
notice, but such conversion price not less than $0.40 per share. The
Company will not effect any conversion of the Rockridge Note, to the extent
Rockridge and Frederick DeLuca, after giving effect to such conversion, would
beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock
(the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Beneficial Ownership
Limitation may be waived by Rockridge upon not less than sixty-one (61) days
prior written notice to the Company. Since the market value of an ONSM common
share was $0.23 as of the date of the Rockridge Agreement, the Company
determined that the above provisions did not constitute a beneficial conversion
feature for purposes of calculating the related discount recorded by the
Company.
Furthermore,
in the event of any conversions of principal to ONSM shares by Rockridge (i) the
$250,000 balloon payment will be reduced by the amount of any such conversion
and (ii) the interest portion of the monthly payments under the Rockridge Note
for the remaining months after any such conversion will be adjusted to reflect
the outstanding principal being immediately reduced for amount of the
conversion.
The
Company may prepay the Rockridge Note at any time, provided that if the
Rockridge Note or any portion thereof is repaid prior to September 30, 2009 (the “Early Payment Date”),
the Company shall pay Rockridge all interest which would have been accrued up to
and including the Early Payment Date less any interest actually paid through the
date of repayment.

At the
time of the April 27, 2007 Infinite Merger (see note 2), the Company entered
into a lock-up agreement with the former Infinite shareholders (the "Infinite
Shareholders") that provided that in the event the accumulated gross proceeds of
the sale of certain shares issued to them in connection with that merger were
less than a contractually defined amount, the Company would pay the
difference. On December 27, 2007, the Infinite Shareholders notified
the Company that those shares had been sold by them for proceeds which under the
lock-up agreement would require the Company to pay an additional
$958,399.
On
February 14, 2008, the Company paid $100,000 against the above obligation. On
March 12, 2008, the Company executed promissory notes (the “Infinite Notes”)
payable to the Infinite Shareholders for the remaining aggregate balance due of
$858,399 plus interest accruing at 12% per annum on the outstanding balance from
February 15, 2008 until the July 10, 2009 maturity. Note payments of (i)
$100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars) were paid on March 15, 2008 and (ii)
$50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) were paid monthly from April 2008 through June
2009. The final principal payment of $8,399 was paid during July 2009.
Approximately $68,000 interest (accrued as of June 30, 2009) was due on July
10.
The
Infinite Notes are collateralized by all of the Company’s assets other than
accounts receivable and are subordinated to the first $4.0 million of Company
debt outstanding from time to time. The Infinite Notes may be prepaid without
penalty and all principal and interest thereunder is payable in
cash. The Infinite Notes provide that if any of certain identified
events of default occur, which includes a scheduled payment not made and
remaining unpaid after five days notice from the Infinite Shareholders, then or
at any time during the continuance of the event of default, the Infinite
Shareholders, at their option, may accelerate the maturity of the Infinite Notes
and require all accrued interest and other amounts to become immediately due and
payable. The Company also paid $7,500 of the Infinite Shareholders'
legal expenses related to this matter, which the Company recorded, along with
its own legal expenses in the matter, as a note discount which was amortized as
interest expense over the term of the Infinite Notes.
During
July 2007, the Company entered into a capital lease for audio conferencing
equipment, which had an outstanding principal balance of $138,066 and $222,688
as of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The balance is payable
in equal monthly payments of $10,172 through August 2010, which includes
interest at approximately 5% per annum, plus an optional final payment based on
fair value, but not to exceed $16,974.
During
January 2009, the Company entered into a capital lease for telephone equipment,
which had an outstanding principal balance of $35,272 as of June 30, 2009. The
balance is payable in equal monthly payments of $828 through January 2014, which
includes interest at approximately 11% per annum.
As part
of the Onstream Merger, the Company assumed a capital lease for software, which
had no outstanding principal balance as of June 30, 2009 and a balance of
$26,121 at September 30, 2008. The lease was payable in equal monthly payments
of $3,366 through May 2009, which included interest at approximately 7% per
annum. Accounts payable includes $109,674 and $79,692 of past due payments
related to this lease at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. See

Narrowstep acquisition
termination – On May 29, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire Narrowstep, Inc.
(“Narrowstep”), which Merger Agreement was amended twice (on August 13, 2008 and
on September 15, 2008). The terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended, allowed
that if the Effective Time did not occur on or prior to November 30, 2008, the
Merger Agreement could be terminated by either the Company or Narrowstep at any
time after that date provided that the terminating party was not responsible for
the delay. On March 18, 2009, the Company terminated the Merger Agreement and
the acquisition of Narrowstep.
As a
result of this termination, the Company recorded the write-off of certain
acquisition-related costs in its operating results for the nine and three months
ended June 30, 2009 (see Note 1 – Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements).
In addition, the Company may incur additional future costs and expenses not
included in this write-off, as follows: (i) satisfaction of a claim by
Narrowstep for certain equipment alleged to be in the Company’s custody and (ii)
satisfaction of certain other damages asserted by Narrowstep. These items are
discussed below.
In
November 2008 Narrowstep invoiced the Company approximately $372,000 for
Narrowstep’s equipment alleged to be in the Company’s custody as of that date
and in June 2009 a letter issued by Narrowstep’s counsel demanded that the
Company pay $400,000 related to this matter. Although the Company acknowledged
possession of at least some of this equipment, it has not agreed to a payment
for that equipment and believes that if a payment were made it would be
substantially less than the Narrowstep demand. Accordingly, this matter is not
reflected as a liability on the Company’s financial statements, nor has the
Company included any related assets on its financial statements. However, the
Company received approximately $32,000 in merchandise credit for certain of this
equipment, which credit was recorded as a reduction of the Company’s write-off
of acquisition costs for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2009 and is
considered to be a valid offset to certain amounts included in that write-off
but that the Company believes should have been paid by Narrowstep. Also, in
addition to these costs, the Company believes that it could seek reimbursement
from Narrowstep of certain compensation and other general and administrative
costs reflected in the Company’s operating expenses through June 30, 2009 (i.e.,
not segregated as part of the specific write-off of acquisition costs), since
they were incurred in direct support of Narrowstep operations.
On April
16, 2009 Narrowstep issued a press release announcing that it is seeking $14
million and other damages (including the above matter) from the Company, as a
result of the Company’s alleged actions in connection with the termination of
the agreement to acquire Narrowstep. This demand was made in the form of a
letter issued at about the same time by Narrowstep’s counsel, although to the
best of the Company’s knowledge, no formal lawsuit has been filed by Narrowstep.
After reviewing the demand letter issued by Narrowstep’s counsel, the Company
believes that Narrowstep has no basis in fact or in law for any
claim. Accordingly, this matter is not reflected as a liability on the
Company’s financial statements.

NASDAQ letters regarding
minimum share price listing requirement – The Company received a letter
from NASDAQ dated January 4, 2008 indicating that it had 180 calendar days, or
until July 2, 2008, to regain compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the
“Rule”), which is necessary in order to be eligible for continued listing on the
NASDAQ Capital Market. The NASDAQ letter indicated that the Company’s
non-compliance with the Rule was as a result of the bid price of ONSM common
stock closing below $1.00 per share for the preceding thirty consecutive
business days. On July 3, 2008, the Company received a letter from
NASDAQ stating that the Company was not considered compliant with the Rule as of
that date, but because the Company met all other initial listing criteria for
the NASDAQ Capital Market, it was granted an additional 180 calendar days, or
until December 30, 2008, to regain compliance with the Rule. On October 22,
2008, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ stating that NASDAQ had
suspended enforcement of the bid price listing requirement through January 19,
2009, which on December 19, 2008 was extended to April 20, 2009, on March 24,
2009 was again extended to July 20, 2009 and finally on July 14, 2009 was
extended for the last time to July 31, 2009. Since the Company was in
a bid price compliance period at the time of the initial suspension, it remained
at the same stage of the process they were in when the NASDAQ first announced
the suspension until that suspension was terminated on July 31, 2009.
Accordingly the Company now has until October 16, 2009 to regain compliance with
this requirement. The Company might be considered compliant with the Rule,
subject to the NASDAQ staff’s discretion, if ONSM common stock closes at $1.00
per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before the
October 16, 2009 deadline. The closing ONSM share price was $0.32 per
share on August 7, 2009 and $0.59 per share on August 13, 2009. Although the
Company has not decided on such action, it has been advised that as a Florida
corporation it may implement a reverse split of its common shares without
shareholder approval, provided a proportionate reduction is made in the number
of its authorized common shares and it provides appropriate advance notice to
NASDAQ and other applicable authorities.
The terms
of the 8% Senior Convertible Debentures and the 8% Subordinated Convertible
Debentures (and the related warrants) issued by the Company from December 2004
through April 2006, plus the common shares issued by the Company in connection
with the April 2007 Infinite Merger, contain penalty clauses if the Company’s
common stock is not traded on NASDAQ or a similar national exchange – See
further discussion below.
Registration payment
arrangements – The Company included the 8% Subordinated Convertible
Debentures on a registration statement which was declared effective by the SEC
on July 26, 2006. The Company is only required to expend commercially reasonable
efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective. However, in
the event the registration statement or the ability to sell shares thereunder
lapses for any reason for 30 or more consecutive days in any 12 month period or
more than twice in any 12 month period, the purchasers of the 8% Subordinated
Convertible Debentures may require the Company to redeem any shares obtained
from the conversion of those notes and still held, for 115% of the market value
for the previous five days. The same penalty provisions apply if the Company’s
common stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on an
eligible market for a period of 20 or more trading days (which need not be
consecutive). Due to the fact that that there is no established mechanism for
reporting to the Company changes in the ownership of these shares
after they are originally issued, the Company is unable to quantify
how many of these shares are still held by the original recipient and thus
subject to the above provisions. Regardless of the above, the Company believes
that the applicability of these provisions would be limited by equity and/or by
statute to a certain timeframe after the original security purchase. All of
these debentures were converted to common shares on or before March 31,
2007.

Registration payment
arrangements (continued) – The Company included the common shares
underlying the 8% Senior Convertible Debentures, including the Additional 8%
Convertible Debentures (AIR), and the related $1.65 warrants, on a registration
statement declared effective by the SEC on June 29, 2005. These debentures
provide cash penalties of 1% of the original purchase price for each month that
(a) the Company’s common shares are not listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market for
a period of 3 trading days (which need not be consecutive) or (b) the common
shares underlying those securities and the related warrants are not saleable
subject to an S-3 or other registration statement then effective with the SEC.
The latter penalty only applies for a five-year period beginning with the June
29, 2005 registration statement effective date and does not apply to shares
saleable under Rule 144(k).
The $1.65
warrants provide that if the shares are not subject to an effective registration
statement on the date required in relation to the initial and/or subsequent
issuance of shares under these transactions and at the time of warrant exercise,
the holder could elect a “cashless exercise” whereby the Company would issue
shares based on the excess of the market price at the time of the exercise over
the warrant exercise price. Regardless of the above, the Company believes that
the applicability of these provisions would be limited by equity and/or by
statute to a certain timeframe after the original security purchase. All of
these debentures were converted to common shares on or before March 31, 2007,
although 1,128,530 of the warrants are still outstanding as of June 30, 2009 –
see Note 8.
During
March and April 2007, the Company sold an aggregate of 4,888,889 restricted
common shares at $2.25 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $11.0
million. This private equity financing was arranged by the Company to partially
fund the Infinite Merger – see Note 2. These shares were included in a
registration statement declared effective by the SEC on June 15,
2007. The Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of this
registration statement until the earlier of the date that (i) all of the shares
have been sold, (ii) all the shares have been transferred to persons who may
trade such shares without restriction (including the Company’s delivery of a new
certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a
restrictive legend) or (iii) all of the shares may be sold at any time, without
volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar
provision (in the opinion of counsel to the Company). In the event such
effectiveness is not maintained or trading in the shares is suspended or if the
shares are delisted for more than five (5) consecutive trading days then the
Company is liable for a compensatory payment (pro rated on a daily basis) of one
and one-half percent (1.5%) per month until the situation is cured, such payment
based on the purchase price of the shares still held and provided that such
payments may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the initial purchase price of the
shares with respect to any one purchaser. Regardless of the above, the Company
believes that the applicability of these provisions would be limited by equity
and/or by statute to a certain timeframe after the original security
purchase.

Registration payment
arrangements (continued) – Effective within the year ended September 30,
2007, the Company elected early adoption of FASB Staff Position (“FSP”)
EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements”, which was
issued on December 21, 2006 and establishes that contingent obligations under
registration payment arrangements, as defined in FSP EITF 00-19-2, shall be
recognized and measured separately in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”
and FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the
Amount of a Loss”, and not under EITF 00-19. The Company has concluded that (i)
the terms discussed in the four preceding paragraphs above are registration
payment arrangements as defined in the applicable accounting pronouncements,
(ii) based on its satisfactory recent history of maintaining the effectiveness
of its registration statements and its NASDAQ listing, as well as stockholders’
equity in excess of the NASDAQ listing standards as of June 30, 2009, that
material payments under these registration payment arrangements are not
probable, and (iii) therefore no accrual related to them is necessary with
respect to SFAS 5 and FIN 14 as of that date. However, the Company’s share price
was below $1.00 as of August 13, 2009, which condition could eventually affect
its NASDAQ listing status, as discussed above.
Registration rights -
The Company has granted a major shareholder demand registration rights,
effective six months from the January 2007 modification date of a certain
convertible note, for any unregistered common shares issuable thereunder. Upon
such demand, the Company will have 60 days to file a registration statement and
shall use its best efforts to obtain promptly the effectiveness of such
registration statement. 784,592 of the 2,789,592 shares issued in March 2007
were included in a registration statement declared effective by the SEC on June
15, 2007 and as of August 7, 2009 the Company has not received any demand for
the registration of the balance. As the note does not provide for damages or
penalties in the event the Company does not comply with these registration
rights, the Company has concluded that these rights do not constitute
registration payment arrangements under FSP EITF 00-19-2. Furthermore, since the
unregistered shares were originally issued in March 2007, they may be saleable,
in whole or in part, under Rule 144. In any event, the Company has determined
that material payments in relation to these rights are not probable and
therefore no accrual related to them is necessary with respect to SFAS 5 and FIN
14.
The
Company has granted demand registration rights, effective six months from the
date of a certain October 2006 convertible note, for any unregistered common
shares issuable thereunder. Upon such demand, the Company will have 60 days to
file a registration statement and shall use its best efforts to obtain promptly
the effectiveness of such registration statement. 1,000,000 of the 1,694,495
total principal and interest shares were included in a registration statement
declared effective by the SEC on June 15, 2007 and as of August 7, 2009 the
Company has not received any demand for the registration of the
balance. As the note does not provide for damages or penalties in the
event the Company does not comply with these registration rights, the Company
has concluded that these rights do not constitute registration payment
arrangements under FSP EITF 00-19-2. Furthermore, since the unregistered shares
were originally issued in November and December 2006, they may be saleable, in
whole or in part, under Rule 144. In any event, the Company has determined that
material payments in relation to these rights are not probable and therefore no
accrual related to them is necessary with respect to SFAS 5 and FIN
14.

(continued) – 255,000 options and 100,000 shares issued to consultants prior to
June 15, 2007 were granted with piggyback registration rights but were not
included on the registration statement declared effective by the SEC on June 15,
2007. As these options and shares do not provide for damages or penalties in the
event the Company does not comply with these registration rights, the Company
has concluded that these rights do not constitute registration payment
arrangements under FSP EITF 00-19-2. In any event, the Company has determined

Consultant
contracts – The Company has entered into a consulting contract,
effective June 1, 2009, with an individual for executive management services to
be performed for the Company’s Infinite division. This contract calls for base
compensation of $175,000 per year, plus $25,000 commission per year provided
certain current revenue levels are maintained. In addition the Company has
agreed to pay a travel allowance of $3,000 to $5,000 per month for up to the
first thirteen months of the contract, plus a one-time $15,000 moving expenses
reimbursement. Termination of the contract without cause before the end of the
two-year contract term requires six months notice (which includes a three month
severance period) from the terminating party, although termination with cause
requires no notice. The contract is renewable by mutual agreement of the parties
with six months notice to the other. As part of the contract, a new four-year
term (from vesting) option grant was made for the purchase of 400,000 common
ONSM shares, vesting over four years at 100,000 per year, exercisable at the
fair market value at the date of grant, but no less than $0.50 per
share.
Effective
October 1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a major shareholder,
requiring the issuance of approximately 120,000 unregistered shares for
financial consulting and advisory services, of which the company has recorded
the issuance of 90,000 and 30,000 shares, and related professional fee expense,
for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The services
related to the remaining 30,000 shares will be provided over a 3 month period,
and will result in a professional fees expense of approximately $10,000 over
that service period, based on the current market value of an ONSM common share –
see Notes 6 and 8.
Employment contracts and
severance – On September 27, 2007, the Company’s Compensation Committee
and Board of Directors approved three-year employment agreements with Messrs.
Randy Selman (President and CEO), Alan Saperstein (COO and Treasurer), Robert
Tomlinson (Chief Financial Officer), Clifford Friedland (Senior Vice President
Business Development) and David Glassman (Senior Vice President Marketing),
collectively referred to as “the Executives”. On May 15, 2008 and August 11,
2009 the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board approved certain
corrections and modifications to those agreements, which are reflected in
the discussion of the terms of these agreements below.
The
agreements provide annual base salaries of $253,000 for Mr. Selman, $230,000 for
Mr. Saperstein, $207,230 for Mr. Tomlinson and $197,230 for Messrs. Friedland
and Glassman, and allow for 10% annual increases through December 27, 2008 and
5% per year thereafter. In addition, each of the Executives receives an auto
allowance payment of $1,000 per month, a “retirement savings” payment of $1,500
per month, and an annual $5,000 allowance for the reimbursement of dues or
charitable donations. The Company also pays insurance premiums for
the Executives, including medical, life and disability
coverage.

Employment contracts and
severance (continued) – As part of the above employment agreements, and
in accordance with the terms of the “2007 Equity Incentive Plan” approved by the
Company’s shareholders in their September 18, 2007 annual meeting,
the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors granted each of the
Executives options (“Plan Options”) to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares
of ONSM common stock at an exercise price of $1.73 per share, the fair market
value at the date of the grant, which shall be exercisable for a period of four
(4) years from the date of vesting. The options vest in installments of 100,000
per year, starting on September 27, 2008, and they automatically vest upon the
happening of the following events on a date more than six (6) months after the
date of the agreement: (i) change of control (ii) constructive termination, and
(iii) termination other than for cause, each as defined in the employment
agreements. Unvested options automatically terminate upon (i) termination for
cause or (ii) voluntary termination. In the event the agreement is
not renewed or the Executive is terminated other than for cause, the Executives
shall be entitled to require the Company to register the options.
As part
of the above employment agreements, the Executives are eligible for a
performance bonus, based on meeting revenue and cash flow objectives. In
connection with this bonus program, the Company’s Compensation Committee and
Board of Directors granted each of the Executives Plan Options to purchase an
aggregate of 220,000 shares of ONSM common stock at an exercise price of $1.73
per share, the fair market value at the date of the grant, which shall be
exercisable for a period of four (4) years from the date of vesting. Up to
one-half of these shares will be eligible for vesting on a quarterly basis and
the rest annually, with the total grant allocated over a two-year period
starting October 1, 2007. Vesting of the quarterly portion is subject to
achievement of increased revenues over the prior quarter as well as positive and
increased net cash flow per share (defined as cash provided by operating
activities per the Company’s statement of cash flow, measured before changes in
working capital components and not including investing or financing activities)
for that quarter. Vesting of the annual portion is subject to meeting the above
cash flow requirements on a year-over-year basis, plus a revenue growth rate of
at least 30% for the fiscal year over the prior year.
In the
event of quarter to quarter decreases in revenues and or cash flow, the options
shall not vest for that quarter but the unvested quarterly options shall be
added to the available options for the year, vested subject to achievement of
the applicable annual goal. In the event options do not vest based on the
quarterly or annual goals, they shall immediately expire. In the event the
agreement is not renewed or the Executive is terminated other than for cause,
the Executives shall be entitled to require the Company to register the vested
options. The Company has also agreed that this bonus program will continue after
the initial two-year period, with the specific bonus parameters to be negotiated
in good faith between the parties at least ninety (90) days before the
expiration of the program then in place. Accordingly, on August 11, 2009, the
Company’s Compensation Committee agreed to extend the initial bonus program for
an additional two years under substantially the same structure and terms, except
that the annual revenue growth rate will be 20%, the executives and the Company
will negotiate in good faith as to how revenue increases from specific
acquisitions are measured, and one-half of the applicable quarterly or annual
bonus options will be earned/vested if the cash flow target is met but not the
revenue target. Implementation of this program is subject only to the approval
by the Company’s shareholders of a sufficient increase in the number of
authorized 2007 Plan options, at which time the performance bonus options will
be granted and priced – it is anticipated that the request for shareholder
authorization will be submitted at time of the next annual Shareholder Meeting,
expected to be held in February 2010.

objectives were met for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 but that they were
not met for the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2008 nor were they met for
the year ended September 30, 2008. Therefore, 13,750 options out of a potential
110,000 performance options vested for each executive during fiscal 2008 and as
a result the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $80,000
for the three months ended December 31, 2007, related to the vested quarterly
portion of these options. Another $400,000 and $160,000 recorded as compensation
expense for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, related
to the quarterly portion of these options as well as the pro-rata quarterly
share of the annual portion of these options expected to be earned by the
executives based on the anticipated annual results was reversed by the Company
during the three months ended September 30, 2008, based on the actual annual
results.
The
Company has determined that the performance objectives were met for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009. Therefore, 13,750 options out of a potential 110,000
performance options vested for each executive during the third quarter of fiscal
2009 and as a result the Company recognized compensation expense of
approximately $80,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, related to the
vested quarterly portion of these options. The Company has determined that the
performance objectives were not met for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 or
the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and as a result the Company recognized no
compensation expense for the six or three months ended March 31, 2009, related
to these performance options.
Under the
terms of the above employment agreements, upon a termination subsequent to a
change of control, termination without cause or constructive termination, each
as defined in the agreements, the Company would be obligated to pay each of
the Executives an amount equal to three times the Executive’s base salary plus
full benefits for a period of the lesser of (i) three years from the date of
termination or (ii) the date of termination until a date one year after the end
of the initial employment contract term. The Company may defer the payment of
all or part of this obligation for up to six months, to the extent required by
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. In addition, if the five day average closing
price of the common stock is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share on the
date of any termination or change in control, all options previously granted the
Executive(s) will be cancelled, with all underlying shares (vested or unvested)
issued to the executive, and the Company will pay all taxes for the
Executive(s). If the five-day average closing price of the common
stock is less than $1.00 per share on the date of any termination or change in
control, the options will remain exercisable under the original
terms.
Under the
terms of the above employment agreements, the Company may terminate an
Executive’s employment upon his death or disability or with or without cause. To
the extent that an Executive is terminated for cause, no severance benefits are
due him. If an employment agreement is terminated as a result of the Executive’s
death, his estate will receive one year base salary plus any bonus or other
compensation amount or benefit then payable or that would have been otherwise
considered vested or earned under the agreement during the one-year period
subsequent to the time of his death. If an employment agreement is terminated as
a result of the Executive’s disability, as defined in the agreement, he is
entitled to compensation in accordance with the Company’s disability
compensation for senior executives to include compensation for at least 180
days, plus any bonus or other compensation amount or benefit then payable or
that would have been otherwise considered vested or earned under the agreement
during the one-year period subsequent to the time of his
disability.

Employment contracts and
severance (continued) – These employment agreements contain certain
non-disclosure and non-competition provisions and the Company has agreed to
indemnify the Executives in certain circumstances.
As part
of the above employment agreements, the Company’s Compensation Committee and
Board of Directors agreed that in the event the Company is sold for a Company
Sale Price that represents at least $1.00 per share (adjusted for
recapitalization including but not limited to splits and reverse splits), the
Executives will receive, as a group, cash compensation of twelve percent (12.0%)
of the Company Sale Price, payable in immediately available funds at the time of
closing such transaction. The Company Sale Price is defined as the number of
Equivalent Common Shares outstanding at the time the Company is sold multiplied
by the price per share paid in such Company Sale transaction. The Equivalent
Common Shares are defined as the sum of (i) the number of common shares issued
and outstanding, (ii) the common stock equivalent shares related to paid for but
not converted preferred shares or other convertible securities and (iii) the
number of common shares underlying “in-the-money” warrants and options, such sum
multiplied by the market price per share and then reduced by the proceeds
payable upon exercise of the “in-the-money” warrants and options, all determined
as of the date of the above employment agreements but the market price per share
used for this purpose to be no less than $1.00. The 12.0% was allocated in the
new employment agreements as two and one-half percent (2.5%) each to Messrs.
Selman, Saperstein, Friedland and Glassman and two percent (2.0%) to Mr.
Tomlinson.
Other
compensation
- In
addition to the 12% allocation to the Executives, as discussed above, on August
11, 2009 the Company’s Compensation Committee determined that an additional
three
percent (3.0%) of the Company Sale Price would be allocated, on the same terms,
with two percent (2.0%) allocated to the four outside Directors (0.5%
each), as a supplement to provide appropriate compensation for ongoing services
as a director and as a termination fee, one-half percent (0.5%) allocated
to one additional Company executive-level employee and the remaining one-half
percent (0.5%) to be allocated by the Board and the Company’s management at a
later date, which will be primarily to compensate other Company executives not
having employment contracts, but may also include additional allocation to some
or all of these five senior Executives.
Bandwidth and co-location
facilities purchase commitments - Effective July 1, 2008, the Company
entered into a two-year long distance bandwidth rate agreement with a national
CDN (content delivery network) company, which includes a minimum purchase
commitment of approximately $200,000 per year. The Company is in compliance with
this agreement, based on comparing the Company’s purchases through June 30, 2009
to the corresponding pro-rata share of that commitment. The Company has also
entered into various agreements with a national co-location facilities company,
for an aggregate minimum purchase commitment of approximately $27,000 per month,
expiring at various times through September 2009.
Long distance purchase
commitment - Effective January 15, 2006, EDNet entered into a two-year
long distance telephone rate agreement with a national telecommunications
company, which included a telephone services purchase commitment of
approximately $120,000 per year. On September 13, 2007, this agreement was

5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
Lease commitments -
The Company is obligated under operating leases for its four offices (one each
in Pompano Beach, Florida and San Francisco, California and two in the New York
City area), which call for monthly payments totaling approximately $51,400. The
leases, with expiration dates ranging from 2009 to 2010, provide for renewal
options and annual increases. Total rental expense (including executory costs)
for all operating leases was approximately $634,000 and $618,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total rental expense
(including executory costs) for all operating leases was approximately $195,000
and $222,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Future minimum lease payments required under these
non-cancelable leases as of June 30, 2009, excluding the capital lease
obligations discussed in Note 4, total approximately
$696,000.
The
Company’s three-year operating lease for its principal executive offices in
Pompano Beach, Florida expires September 15, 2010. The monthly base rental is
currently approximately $21,400 (including the Company's share of property taxes
and common area expenses) with annual five percent (5%) increases. The lease
provides for one two-year renewal option with 5% annual increases.
The
Company’s five-year operating lease for office space in San Francisco expires
April 30, 2014. The monthly base rental (including month-to-month
parking) is approximately $16,600 with annual increases up to 4.4%. The lease
provides a one five-year renewal option at 95% of fair market value and also
provides for early cancellation at any time after the first year, at the
Company’s option, with six (6) months notice and a payment of no more than
approximately $44,000.
The
Company’s annual operating lease for office space in New York City expires
December 31, 2009. The monthly base rental is approximately
$6,600. The Company’s annual operating lease for its Infinite
Conferencing location in New Jersey expired July 31, 2009, and is being
continued thereafter on a month-to-month basis, with a monthly base rental of
approximately $6,800.
Software purchase and
royalty commitment – On March 31, 2008 the Company agreed to pay $300,000
(plus a $37,500 annual support fee) for a perpetual license for certain digital
asset management software, which it currently utilizes to provide its automatic
meta-tagging and other DMSP services. The initial $56,250 payment due under this
perpetual license agreement was paid in July 2008 and the remaining obligation
of $281,250 is included in accounts payable at September 30, 2008 and June 30,
2009. In connection with this license, the Company also agreed to pay a 1%
royalty on revenues arising from the use, licensing or offering of the
functionality of this software to its customers, to the extent such revenue
exceeds certain levels, subject to a minimum amount per transaction and only to
the extent the calculated royalty exceeds the perpetual license payment. The
Company is not yet liable for any royalty payments under this
agreement.
On August
5, 2009, the Company received a letter from the vendor of the above software,
stating that the above license would be terminated if payment of $305,718.75
(the balance due plus interest) was not paid on or before September 4, 2009 and
that the Company’s obligation to pay this amount would not be affected by such
license termination. The Company believes that the termination of this license
would not have a material effect on its ongoing operations, since the licenses
involved are either the basis for new products being developed for which there
are not yet significant revenues, are being used to provide excess capacity over
our current operational needs or are being used to provide non-core services
with an insignificant net contribution to the Company’s operating results.
Furthermore, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses supporting
its lack of payment to date, including product performance and integration
issues.

5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
State income taxes -
The Company has been assessed state income taxes, plus penalties and interest,
for the years ending September 30, 2004 and 2005, in an aggregate amount of
approximately $89,000. The basis of the assessment is an attempt by the state to
disallow certain net operating loss carryforwards to the years in question. The
Company has contested these assessments with the state taxing authorities and
believes the ultimate resolution will not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Legal proceedings –
The Company is involved in litigation and regulatory investigations arising in
the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome of these matters is
not presently determinable, it is the opinion of management that the resolution
of these outstanding claims will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s financial position or results of operations.
On May
26, 2009, the Company was served with a Summons and Complaint filed in Broward
County, Florida, containing a breach of contract claim against the Company by a
firm seeking compensation for legal services allegedly rendered to the Company,
plus court costs, in the amount of approximately $383,000. The Company filed a
motion to dismiss this complaint, which was granted on August 5, 2009, but
allows the plaintiff ten (10) days to refile its complaint. The Company has
accrued approximately $115,000 related to this matter on its financial
statements as of June 30, 2009, which was included in the write-off of certain
acquisition-related costs included in the Company’s operating results for the
nine and three months ended June 30, 2009 (see Note 1 – Effects of Recent
Accounting Pronouncements). Regardless of this, the Company believes that its
ultimate liability in this matter could be less than this accrual and in any
event that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
SAIC contract - As
part of the Onstream Merger, the Company became obligated under a contract with
SAIC, under which SAIC would build a platform that eventually, after further
design and re-engineering by the Company, became the DMSP. The contract
terminated by mutual agreement of the parties on June 30, 2008. Although
cancellation of the contract among other things releases SAIC to offer what is
identified as the “Onstream Media Solution” directly or indirectly to third
parties, Onstream’s management does not expect this right to result in a
material adverse impact on future DMSP sales.
Auction Video Japan
office - On December 5, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement
whereby one of the former owners of Auction Video Japan, Inc. agreed to shut
down the Japan office of Auction Video as well as assume all of the Company’s
outstanding assets and liabilities connected with that operation, in exchange
for non-exclusive rights to sell Onstream Media products in Japan and be
compensated on a commission-only basis. As a result, the Company recognized
other income of approximately $45,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009,
which is the difference between the assumed liabilities of approximately $84,000
and the assumed assets of approximately $39,000. It is the opinion of management
that any further developments with respect to this shut down or the above
agreement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations. See Note 2.

6: CAPITAL STOCK
Common

Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a major shareholder
(in excess of 5% beneficial Company ownership) requiring the issuance of
approximately 240,000 unregistered shares for financial consulting and advisory
services, of which the Company has recorded the issuance of 90,000 shares, and
related professional fee expense, for the year ended September 30, 2008 and
30,000 shares for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Although
all previous and future compensation under that contract was cancelled as the
result of an agreement made between that shareholder and the Company and
considered effective December 31, 2008, the final signatures were not obtained
on the necessary documentation until early 2009. Accordingly, this cancellation
was reflected as the January 2009 reversal of approximately $80,000 previously
recorded professional fee expense as well as a corresponding reduction of
additional paid-in capital.
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 490,371 unregistered
shares valued at approximately $127,000 and recognized as professional fees
expense for financial consulting and advisory services over various service
periods of up to 12 months. None of the shares were issued to Company directors
or officers, although 90,000 of the shares were issued to a major shareholder –
see Note 5. These amounts exclude the reduction for the cancellation previously
recorded consulting shares as discussed above.
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded the issuance of
certain options to purchase 8,333 of its common shares, in exchange for
financial consulting and advisory services, such options valued at approximately
$5,000. This was the pro-rata share of total options to purchase 50,000 shares
issued to Mr. Leon Nowalsky, director, in December 2007 as compensation for
services to be rendered by him in connection with his appointment to the board.
Professional fee expenses arising from these and prior issuances of shares and
options for financial consulting and advisory services were approximately
$176,000 and $856,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, and approximately $61,000 and $231,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As a
result of previously issued shares and options for financial consulting and
advisory services, the Company has approximately $192,000 in deferred equity
compensation expense at June 30, 2009, to be amortized over the remaining
periods of service of up to 16 months. The deferred equity compensation expense
is included in the balance sheet captions prepaid expenses and other non-current
assets.
The
Company recognized compensation expense (and a corresponding increase in
additional paid in capital) of approximately $723,000 and $1,072,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and approximately
$293,000 and $352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, in connection with options issued to its employees to purchase its
common shares. See Note 5 (employment contracts and severance) and Note
8.
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 452,589 shares valued at
$137,276 in connection with interest on the Equipment Notes – see Note
4.
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 178,361 shares in
connection with the conversion of Series A-10 preferred as well as 243,251
shares in payment of dividends on Series A-10 and Series A-12 preferred, both
issuances discussed in more detail below.

Stock (“Series A-12”).
Series
A-10 Convertible Preferred Stock
The
Series A-10 had a coupon of 8% per annum, payable annually in cash (or
semi-annually at the Company’s option in cash or in additional shares of Series
A-10). The Company’s Board declared a dividend payable on November 15, 2008 to
Series A-10 shareholders of record as of November 10, 2008 of 2,994 Series A-10
preferred shares, in lieu of a $29,938 cash payment.
The
Series A-10 had a stated value of $10.00 per preferred share and had a
conversion rate of $1.00 per common share. The Series A-10 was not redeemable by
the Company and 17,835 shares of Series A-10 that were still outstanding as of
December 31, 2008 were automatically converted into 178,361 common shares.
The remaining 60,000 shares of Series A-10 that were still outstanding as
of December 31, 2008 were exchanged for Series A-12 preferred as discussed
below.
The
estimated fair value of warrants given in connection with the initial sale of
the Series A-10 (see Note 8), plus the Series A-10’s beneficial conversion
feature, was allocated to additional paid in capital and discount. The discount
was amortized as a dividend over the four-year term of the Series A-10, with the
final $20,292 amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2008 and the
nine months ended June 30, 2009.
Series
A-12 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Effective
December 31, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the sale and
issuance of up to 100,000 shares of Series A-12 Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock (“Series A-12”). On January 7, 2009, the Company filed with the Florida

Series A-12. The Series A-12 has a coupon of 8% per annum, a stated value of
$10.00 per preferred share and a conversion rate of $1.00 per common share.
Series A-12 dividends are cumulative and must be fully paid by the Company prior
to the payment of any dividend on its common shares. Dividends are payable in
advance, in the form of ONSM common shares. The holders of Series A-12 may
require redemption by the Company under certain circumstances, as outlined
below, but any shares of Series A-12 that are still outstanding as of December
31, 2009 will automatically convert into ONSM common shares. Series A-12 is
senior to all other preferred share classes that may be issued by the
Company except as explicitly required by applicable law, the holders of
Series A-12 shall not be entitled to vote on any matters as to which holders of
ONSM common shares are entitled to vote. Holders of Series A-12 are not entitled
to registration rights.
Effective
December 31, 2008, the Company sold two (2) investors an aggregate of 80,000
shares of Series A-12, with the purchase price paid via (i) the surrender of an
aggregate of 60,000 shares of Series A-10 held by those two investors and having
a stated value of $10.00 per A-10 share in exchange for an aggregate of 60,000
shares of Series A-12 plus (ii) the payment of additional cash aggregating
$200,000 for an aggregate of 20,000 shares of Series A-12 (“Additional Shares”).
$100,000 of this cash was received on December 31, 2008 and the remaining
$100,000 was received on January 2, 2009.

In
accordance with the terms of the Series A-12, dividends are payable in advance
in the form of ONSM common shares, using the average closing bid price of those
shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the Series A-12 purchase
closing date. Accordingly, the Company issued 235,294 common shares as payment
of $64,000 dividends for the one year period ending December 31, 2009, which was
allocated to additional paid in capital and discount on the Company’s December
31, 2008 balance sheet. The discount is being amortized as a dividend over the
one-year term of the Series A-12.
In
accordance with the terms of the Series A-12, after six months the holders may
require the Company, to the extent legally permitted, to redeem any or all
Series A-12 shares purchased as Additional Shares at the additional purchase
price of $10.00 per share. Shares of Series A-12 acquired in exchange
for shares of Series A-10 have no redemption rights. On April 14, 2009, the
Company entered into a Redemption Agreement with one of the holders of the
Series A-12, under which the holder redeemed 10,000 shares of Series A-12 in
exchange for the Company’s payment of $100,000 on April 16, 2009. Furthermore,
the Company has reflected $96,000 of the Series A-12 as a current liability on
its June 30, 2009 balance sheet, which is the remaining $100,000 redeemable
portion of the Series A-12, net of a pro-rata share of the total unamortized
discount.

including the effect of subsequent amendments to the Plan, authorized up to
4,500,000 shares available for issuance as options and up to another 2,000,000
shares available for stock grants. On September 18, 2007, the Company’s Board of
Directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders adopted the 2007 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which authorized the issuance of up to
6,000,000 shares of ONSM common stock pursuant to stock options, stock purchase
rights, stock appreciation rights and/or stock awards for employees, directors
and consultants. The options and stock grants authorized for issuance under the
2007 Plan were in addition to those already issued under the 1996 Plan, although

expense, which excludes approximately $513,000 related to the ratable portion of
those unvested options allocable to past service periods and recognized as
compensation expense as of June 30, 2009 and also excludes $479,000 related to
the value of executive performance options (see Note 5) not anticipated to be
earned once the Company’s results for fiscal 2009 are finalized and accordingly
expected to expire at that point.

On August
11, 2009, the Company’s Compensation Committee authorized the extension of the
expiration date of 2,384,000 Plan Options, that would have expired on or before
July 31, 2010 based on their initial terms, to a revised expiration date of
August 11, 2014, which extension is reflected in the above table. No other terms
of those options were modified. As a result of this extension, the Company will
recognize non-cash compensation expense of approximately $398,000 for the three
and twelve months ended September 30, 2009.

NOTE
8: STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (Continued)
As of
June 30, 2009, the Company had 2,409,178 outstanding Non Plan options issued to
employees and directors, which were issued during the year ended September 30,
2005. During that period, the Company issued immediately exercisable five-year
options to certain executives, directors and other management for the purchase
of 1,350,000 shares of ONSM common stock at $1.57 per share (fair market value
at date of grant); five-year options to certain executives, fully-vested as of
September 30, 2005, for the purchase of 800,000 shares of ONSM common stock at
$2.50 per share (greater than the $1.57 fair market value at date of grant); and
281,390 immediately exercisable options at an exercise price of $3.376 per
share, issued in conjunction with the Onstream Merger and of which 22,212 have
expired as of June 30, 2009.
On August
11, 2009, the Compensation Committee agreed to grant 1,306,250 five-year Plan
Options to certain executives, directors and other management in exchange for
the cancellation of an equivalent number of Non Plan Options held by those
individuals and expiring at various dates through December 2008, with no change
in the exercise prices, which are all in excess of the market value of an ONSM
share as of August 11, 2009. As a result of this cancellation and re-issuance,
the Company will recognize non-cash compensation expense of approximately
$191,000 for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2009. On August 11,
2009, the Compensation Committee also agreed to grant another 749,305 five-year
Plan Options to those same individuals in exchange for the cancellation of an
equivalent number of Non Plan Options held by them and expiring in December
2008, with no change in the exercise price, provided such price is in excess of
the market value of an ONSM share as of the grant date. This grant is subject to
an adequate number of Plan shares becoming available, which the Company expects
to be the case as a result of recent employment terminations and the expected
expiration of unearned executive performance options once the Company’s results
for fiscal 2009 are finalized (see Note 5). As a result of this cancellation and
re-issuance, the Company expects to recognize non-cash compensation expense of
approximately $127,000 for the three months ended December 31,
2009.

The
warrants issued in connection with the sale of 8% Subordinated Convertible
Debentures include a cashless exercise feature, which provides that, starting
one year after issuance, in the event the shares are not subject to an effective
registration statement at the time of exercise, the holder could elect a
“cashless exercise” whereby the Company would issue shares based on the excess
of the market price at the time of the exercise over the warrant exercise price.
The number of shares of ONSM common stock that can be issued upon the exercise
of these warrants is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following
the exercise the total number of shares of ONSM common stock beneficially owned
by the holder does not exceed 4.999% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
common stock.
With
respect to the warrants issued in connection with the sale of 8% Convertible
Debentures and Additional 8% Convertible Debentures, the number of shares of
ONSM common stock that can be issued upon the exercise of these $1.65 warrants
is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following the exercise the
total number of shares of ONSM common stock beneficially owned by the holder
does not exceed 9.999% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock.
The
exercise prices of all of the above warrants are subject to adjustment for
various factors, including in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, pro
rata distributions of equity securities, evidences of indebtedness, rights or
warrants to purchase common stock or cash or any other asset or mergers or
consolidations. Such adjustment of the exercise price would in most cases result
in a corresponding adjustment in the number of shares underlying the warrant.
See Note 5 related to certain registration payment arrangements and related
provisions contained in certain of the above warrants.

NOTE 9:
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company’s June 30, 2009 financial statements were available to be issued on or
about August 14, 2009 and the Company has evaluated all events occurring through
that date for disclosure therein. Notes 1 (Effects of Recent Accounting
Pronouncements), 4 (Infinite Notes), 5 (NASDAQ letters regarding minimum share
price listing requirement, Employment contracts and severance, Other
compensation, Lease commitments, Software purchase and royalty commitment and
Legal proceedings) and 6 (Plan Option modifications and grants) contain
disclosure with respect to transactions occurring after June 30,
2009.
During
the period from July 1, 2009 through August 7, 2009, the Company recorded the
issuance of 50,000 unregistered shares of common stock for financial consulting
and advisory services. The services will be provided over a period of two to
five months, and will result in a professional fees expense of approximately
$16,000 over the service period. None of these shares were issued to Company
directors or officers, although 20,000 of these shares were issued to a major
shareholder (in excess of 5% beneficial Company ownership
interest).
On August
12, 2009, CCJ Trust advanced $100,000 to the Company as a short term advance
bearing interest at .022% per day (equivalent to approximately 8% per annum)
until it is repaid. The Company agreed to repay that advance (including
interest) on or before August 27, 2009, unless the parties mutually agree to
another financing transaction(s) before that date.
Item
2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The
following discussion should be read together with the information contained in
the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are a
leading online service provider of live and on-demand Internet video, corporate
web communications and content management applications. We had
approximately 99 full time employees as of August 7, 2009, with operations
organized in two main operating groups:
|
·
|
Digital
Media Services Group
|
|
·
|
Web
and Audio Conferencing Services
Group
|
Our
Digital Media Services Group consists of our Webcasting division, our DMSP
(“Digital Media Services Platform”) division, our UGC (“User Generated Content”)
division, our Smart Encoding division and our Travel division.
Our
Webcasting division, which operates primarily from facilities in Pompano Beach,
Florida, provides an array of corporate-oriented, web-based media services to
the corporate market including live audio and video webcasting and on-demand
audio and video streaming for any business, government or educational entity.
Our DMSP division, which operates primarily from facilities in San
Francisco, California provides an online, subscription based service that
includes access to enabling technologies and features for our clients to
acquire, store, index, secure, manage, distribute and transform these digital
assets into saleable commodities. Our UGC division, which also operates as
Auction Video and operates primarily from facilities in Colorado Springs,
Colorado, provides a video ingestion and flash encoder that can be used by our
clients on a stand-alone basis or in conjunction with the DMSP. Our Smart
Encoding division, which operates primarily from facilities in San
Francisco, California provides both automated and manual encoding and editorial
services for processing digital media, using a set of coordinated technologies
and processes that allow the quick and efficient online search, retrieval and
streaming of this media, which can include photos, videos, audio, engineering
specs, architectural plans, web pages, and many other pieces of business
collateral. Our Travel division, which operates primarily from
facilities in Pompano Beach, Florida, produces and distributes Internet-based
multi-media streaming videos related to hotels, resorts, time-shares, golf
facilities, and other travel destinations.
Our Web
and Audio Conferencing Services Group includes a) our Infinite Conferencing
(“Infinite”) division, which operates primarily from facilities in the New York
City metropolitan area and provides “reservationless” and operator-assisted
audio and web conferencing services and b) our EDNet division, which
operates primarily from facilities in San Francisco, California and provides
connectivity within the entertainment and advertising industries through its
managed network, which encompasses production and post-production companies,
advertisers, producers, directors, and talent.
For
segment information related to the revenue and operating income of these groups,
see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent
Developments
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2009 we received $1.0 million from Rockridge Capital
Holdings, LLC (“Rockridge”), an entity controlled by one of our largest
shareholders, in accordance with the terms of a Note and Stock Purchase
Agreement that we entered into with Rockridge dated April 14, 2009. In
connection with this transaction, we issued a Note (the “Rockridge Note”), which
is secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets, such lien
subordinated only to the extent higher priority liens on assets, primarily
accounts receivable and certain designated software and equipment, are held by
certain of our other lenders. The Rockridge Note is repayable in equal monthly
installments commencing May 14, 2009 and extending over two years, which
installments include principal (except for a $250,000 balloon payable at the end
of the two year period and which balloon payment is also convertible into
restricted ONSM common shares under certain circumstances) plus interest (at 12%
per annum) on the remaining unpaid balance. The Note and Stock Purchase
Agreement also provides that Rockridge may receive an origination fee of
1,500,000 restricted ONSM common shares.
On August
12, 2009, CCJ Trust advanced $100,000 to us as a short term advance bearing
interest at approximately 8% per annum until it is repaid. We agreed to repay
that advance (including interest) on or before August 27, 2009, unless the
parties mutually agree to another financing transaction(s) before that
date.
See
Liquidity and Capital Resources for further details related to the above
transactions.
We
received a letter from NASDAQ dated January 4, 2008 indicating that we had 180
calendar days, or until July 2, 2008, to regain compliance with Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(4) (the “Rule”), which is necessary in order to be eligible for
continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The NASDAQ letter indicated that
our non-compliance with the Rule was as a result of the bid price of ONSM common
stock closing below $1.00 per share for the preceding thirty consecutive
business days. After a series of extensions arising from NASDAQ’s
suspension of their enforcement of this listing requirement, the final extension
ended on July 31, 2009. Since we were in a bid price compliance
period at the time of the initial suspension, wet remained at the same stage of
the process they were in when the NASDAQ first announced the suspension until
that suspension was terminated on July 31, 2009. Accordingly we now have until
October 16, 2009 to regain compliance with this requirement. We might be
considered compliant with the Rule, subject to the NASDAQ staff’s discretion, if
ONSM common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten
consecutive business days before the October 16, 2009 deadline. The
closing ONSM share price was $0.32 per share on August 7, 2009 and $0.59 per
share on August 13, 2009. Although we have not decided on such action, we have
been advised that as a Florida corporation we may implement a reverse split
of our common shares without shareholder approval, provided a proportionate
reduction is made in the number of our authorized common shares and we provide
appropriate advance notice to NASDAQ and other applicable
authorities.
The terms
of the 8% Senior Convertible Debentures and the 8% Subordinated Convertible
Debentures (and the related warrants) issued by us from December 2004 through
April 2006, plus the common shares issued by us in connection with the April
2007 Infinite Merger, contain penalty clauses if our common stock is not traded
on NASDAQ or a similar national exchange.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
from recurring service are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists between us and the customer, (ii) the good or service has
been provided to the customer, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or
determinable and (iv) collectibility of the sales prices is reasonably
assured.
Our
Digital Media Services Group recognizes revenues from the acquisition, editing,
transcoding, indexing, storage and distribution of its customers’ digital media,
as well as from live and on-demand internet webcasting and internet distribution
of travel information.
Charges
to customers by the DMSP division are generally based on a monthly subscription
fee, as well as charges for hosting, storage and professional services. Fees
charged to customers for customized applications or set-up are recognized as
revenue at the time the application or set-up is completed. Charges to customers
by the Smart Encoding and UGC divisions are generally based on the activity or
volumes of such media, expressed in megabytes or similar terms, and are
recognized at the time the service is performed. This division also provides
hosting, storage and streaming services for digital media, which are provided
via the DMSP.
The
Webcasting division charges for live and on-demand webcasting at the time an
event is accessible for streaming over the Internet. The Travel division
recognizes production revenue at the time of completion of the related video or
website. Travel distribution revenue is recognized when a user watches a video
on the Internet, if charged on a per hit basis, or over the term of the
contract, if charged as a fixed monthly fee.
Our Audio
and Web Conferencing Services Group recognizes revenue from audio and web
conferencing as well as customer usage of digital telephone
connections.
The
Infinite division generally charges for audio conferencing and web conferencing
services on a per-minute usage rate, although webconferencing services are also
available for a monthly subscription fee allowing a certain level of usage.
Audio conferencing and web conferencing revenue is recognized based on the
timing of the customer’s use of those services.
The EDNet
division primarily generates revenue from customer usage of digital telephone
connections controlled by them. EDNet purchases digital phone lines from
telephone companies and sells access to the lines, as well as separate
per-minute usage charges. Network usage and bridging revenue is recognized based
on the timing of the customer’s usage of those services.
We
include the DMSP and UGC divisions’ revenues, along with the Smart Encoding
division’s revenues from hosting, storage and streaming, in the DMSP and Hosting
revenue caption. We include the Travel division revenues, the EDNet division’s
revenues from equipment sales and rentals and the Smart Encoding division’s
revenues from encoding and editorial services in the Other Revenue

Results
of Operations
Our
consolidated net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately
$10.1 million ($0.23 loss per share) as compared to a loss of approximately $5.3
million ($0.13 loss per share) for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year, an increase in our loss of approximately $4.8 million (91%). The increased
net loss was primarily due to a $5.5 million charge for impairment of goodwill
and other intangible assets in the current fiscal year period (arising from the
difference between our market capitalization, as adjusted, and our net book
value - i.e., stockholders’ equity as reflected in our financial statements)
versus no comparable amount in the corresponding prior fiscal year
period.
Our
consolidated net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately
$1.0 million ($0.02 loss per share) as compared to a loss of approximately $1.7
million ($0.04 loss per share) for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year, a decrease in our loss of approximately $648,000 (38%). The decreased net
loss was primarily due to declines in professional fees expense and depreciation
and amortization expense in the current fiscal year period as compared to those
amounts in the corresponding prior fiscal year period.

Revenues
and Gross Margin
Consolidated
operating revenue was approximately $13.2 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $22,000 (0.2%) from the corresponding
period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to decreased revenues of the
Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group, partially offset by increased
revenues of the Digital Media Services Group.
Digital
Media Services Group revenues were approximately $6.1 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009, which represented an increase of approximately
$203,000 (3.4%) over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This
increase was primarily due to an approximately $217,000 (20.0%) increase in DMSP
and hosting division revenues over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year. This increase in DMSP and hosting division revenues was comprised of (i)
an approximately $285,000 increase in DMSP “Store and Stream” revenues and (ii)
an approximately $31,000 increase in hosting and bandwidth charges to certain
larger DMSP customers serviced by our Smart Encoding division.
As of
June 30, 2009, we had 331 monthly recurring subscribers to the “Store and
Stream” application of the DMSP, which was developed as a focused interface for
small to medium business (SMB) clients, as compared to 218 subscribers as of
June 30, 2008. Including large DMSP hosting customers supported by our Smart
Encoding Division, these customer counts were 350 and 233, respectively. We
expect this DMSP customer base to continue to grow, especially as a result of
our February 2009 launch of “Streaming Publisher”, an additional version of the
DMSP platform. Streaming Publisher is designed to provide enhanced capabilities
for advanced users such as publishers, media companies and other content
developers. The new Streaming Publisher upgrade to the DMSP is a key step in our
objective to address the developing online video advertising market and includes
features such as automated transcoding (the ability to convert media files into
multiple file formats), player gallery (the ability to create various video
players and detailed usage reports), as well as advanced permissions, security
and syndication features. Users of the basic Store and Stream version of the
DMSP may easily upgrade to the Streaming Publisher version for a higher
monthly fee.
In
addition to the development of these additional features and products, we have
made progress on our development of an enhanced video search function, which is
now referred to as Video Search Engine Optimization (VSEO). VSEO is based on the
software and hardware infrastructure purchased primarily from Autonomy/Virage
plus the allocation of internal resources from our programming and development
professionals. Although the timing of further VSEO development is
subject to our overall development priorities, it is currently expected to be
released no later than the end of fiscal 2010.
In
addition to the “Store and Stream” and “Streaming Publisher” applications of the
DMSP, we are continuing to work with several entities assisting us in the
deployment via the DMSP of enabling technologies necessary to create social
networks with integrated professional and user generated multimedia
content.
One of
the key components of our March 2007 acquisition of Auction Video was the video
ingestion and flash transcoder, already integrated into the DMSP as an integral
component of the services offered to social network providers and other User
Generated Video (UGV) applications. Auction Video’s technology is being used in
various applications such as online Yellow Pages listings, delivering video to
mobile phones, multi-level marketing and online newspaper classified
advertisements, and can also provide for direct input from webcams and other
imaging equipment. In addition, our Auction Video service was approved by eBay
to provide video hosting services for eBay users and PowerSellers (high volume
users of eBay). The Auction Video acquisition is another strategic step in
providing a complete range of enabling, turnkey technologies for our clients to
facilitate “video on the web” applications, which we believe will make the DMSP
a more competitive option as an increasing number of companies look to enhance
their web presence with digital rich media and social applications.
In
addition to the beneficial effect of the Auction Video technology on DMSP
revenues, we believe that our ownership of that technology will provide us with
other revenue opportunities, including software sales and licensing fees,
although the timing and amount of these revenues cannot be assured. In March
2008 we retained the law firm of Hunton & Williams to assist in expediting
the patent approval process and helping protect our rights related to our patent
pending UGV technology. In April 2008, we revised the original patent
application primarily for the purpose of splitting it into two separate
applications, which, while related, are being evaluated separately by the U.S.
Patent Office. In August 2008 and February 2009, the U.S. Patent Office issued
non-final rejections of the claims pending in the first of the two applications.
As a result of our formal appeal of the non-final rejection, the U.S Patent
Office has granted us a re-hearing of our patent claims by a different examiner
group within the U.S. Patent Office, which re-hearing occurred in May 2009 and
resulted in another non-final rejection. We have until November 21, 2009
(including the available extension of up to 90 days) to appeal the latest
action. Regardless of this, our management has determined that a final rejection
of these claims would not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position or results of operations. The U.S. Patent Office has taken no formal
action with regard to the second of the two applications. As a result of this
technology, plus other enhancements to the DMSP as noted above and our increased
sales and marketing focus on opportunities with social networks and other
high-volume users of digital rich media, as well as a result of sales of the
recently launched Streaming Publisher version of the DMSP we expect the fiscal
2009 DMSP and hosting revenues (for the year as a whole) to exceed the
corresponding fiscal 2008 amounts, although such increase cannot be
assured.
Although
webcasting revenues increased only approximately $26,000 (0.6%) for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year, the number of webcasts produced increased to approximately 5,600
webcasts for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, versus approximately 5,100
webcasts for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. However, since
most of the 500 event increase was attributable to audio events with a lower
per-event cost than video events, the average revenue per webcast event
decreased to approximately $797 for the current fiscal year period as compared
to approximately $868 for the prior fiscal year period.
The
number of webcasts reported above, as well as the resulting calculation of the
average revenue per webcast event, does not include any webcast events
attributed with $100 or less revenue, based on our determination that excluding
such low-priced or even no-charge events increases the usefulness of this
statistic. The prior period numbers presented herein have been calculated on the
same basis.
We have
made the following announcements with respect to our government related
webcasting and other sales activity:
|
·
|
In
April 2007 we announced our selection as a member of the Qwest
Communications International team that was awarded a stake in Networx
Universal, the largest communications services contract in the world.
Qwest and its team members will participate in the U.S. government program
to provide leading-edge voice, data and video services, including managed
and secure advanced data networks, to federal agencies nationwide. Our
role as part of the Qwest team will be providing comprehensive video and
audio encoding services and webcasting for live and archived distribution
of content via a wide range of digital delivery networks. Although we have
not yet recognized revenue related to Qwest, we have responded to several
related requests for proposals from government agencies, ranging in size
from $250,000 per year to several million dollars, although there is no
assurance that these contracts will be ultimately awarded to
us.

In
November 2007 we announced that we had been awarded a stake in a
three-year Master Services Agreement (MSA) by the State of California to
provide video and audio streaming services to the state and participating
local governments. In August 2008 we announced that we had been awarded
three new multi-year public sector webcasting services contracts with the
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), California State Department of
Technology Services (DTS), and California State Board of Equalization
(BOE). In April 2009 we announced that, in addition to the extension of
the NRC contract for the first full year after a successful initial test
period, we were engaged to perform webcasting services for use by the U.S.
Department of Interior, Minerals Management Service. We recognized related
revenues for all of the above government-related contracts of
approximately $243,000 for the year ended September 30, 2008 and $219,000
for the nine months ended June 30,
2009.

We have
recently completed several feature enhancements to our proprietary webcasting
platform, including embedded Flash video and animations as well as a webinar
service providing the means to hold a virtual seminar online in real time and
both audio and video editing capabilities.
We
recently announced an upgrade to our webcasting service, featuring broadcast
quality video using the industry standard 16:9 aspect ratio, which we named
Visual Webcaster HD™. The new upgrade includes the ability to use high
definition cameras and other HD sources input via SDI (Serial Digital Interface)
into our encoders, providing a broadcast-quality experience. In addition, we
have recently launched iEncode™, a full-featured, turnkey, standalone
webcasting solution, designed to operate inside a corporate LAN environment
with multicast capabilities.
In October
2008, we announced the hiring of Mr. Daniel Debaun, an experienced executive in
sales and other strategic areas, as Vice President, Business Development for the
iEncode product, a subscription based, on site webcasting service. In February
2009, as ongoing iEncode sales began, Mr. DeBaun’s role was redefined for him to
be a focused commissioned agent for the iEncode product. Although we have
recorded some iEncode revenue during fiscal 2009 through June, we introduced
version 2 of iEncode in June 2009 and as a result expect iEncode sales to
increase to more meaningful levels starting from the fourth quarter of fiscal
2009 and extending through fiscal 2010. We also expect increased
webcasting and other revenues as a result of increased government contract
activity, including the items noted above. Therefore, due to the anticipated
increases in webcasting revenues, as well as anticipated increases in DMSP and
hosting revenues, we expect the fiscal 2009 revenues of the Digital Media
Services Group (for the year as a whole) to exceed the corresponding fiscal 2008
amounts, although such increase cannot be assured.
Audio and
Web Conferencing Services Group revenues were approximately $7.1 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $225,000 (3.1%)
from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This decrease primarily
was a result of decreased network usage service fees from the EDNet division,
which we believe resulted from (i) a reduction in television and movie
production activity in the current year in response to a general economic
slow-down as well as (ii) higher than normal production activity by our
customers in the comparable prior year period in an attempt to mitigate the
impact of the threatened Hollywood actor’s strike, which strike did ultimately
occur in the last part of the December 2007 quarter and extended into the March
2008 quarter.
For some
time the Infinite division sales force has been focusing on entering into
agreements with organizations with resources to provide Infinite’s audio and web
conferencing services to certain targeted groups. In April 2008, we announced
Infinite’s strategic partnership with Proforma, a leading provider of graphic
communications solutions. In August 2008, we announced that Infinite signed a
reseller agreement with Copper Conferencing, one of the nation’s leading,
carrier-class conferencing services providers for small and medium-sized
businesses. In March 2009 we announced Infinite’s master agency agreement with
Presidio Networked Solutions, a systems integrator. In April 2009, we announced
Infinite’s collaboration with PeerPort to launch WebMeet Community, an
integrated suite of virtual collaboration services. Although these relationships
and initiatives are important as a basis for building future sales, in some
cases there will be a lead time of a year or longer before they are reflected in
actual recorded sales. Furthermore, we recently began a reorganization of the
Infinite management and sales staff, which included the hiring of a new
divisional president in June 2009. Therefore, due to the expected effects of the
recent Infinite reorganization still in process, as well as the EDNet trends
discussed above which we expect will continue for the foreseeable future, we do
not expect the fiscal 2009 revenues of the Audio and Web Conferencing Services
Group (for the year as a whole) to exceed the corresponding fiscal 2008
amounts.
Consolidated
gross margin was approximately $9.1 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2009, an increase of approximately $158,000 (1.8%) from the corresponding period
of the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to approximately
$529,000 more gross margin from the Digital Media Services Group corresponding
to the $203,000 increase in Digital Media Services Group revenues as discussed
above, as well as increased gross margin percentage on those revenues from 59.2%
to 65.9%. A primary reason for this increased gross margin percentage was a
reduction in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 of our direct costs related to
webcasting, including primarily our costs for production, as compared to those
direct webcasting costs for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
The
consolidated gross margin percentage was 68.9% for the nine months ended June
30, 2009, versus 67.6% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year.
Based on
our expectations of increased sales as discussed above, we expect consolidated
gross margin (in dollars) for fiscal year 2009 (for the year as a whole) to
exceed the prior fiscal year amounts, although such increase cannot be
assured.
Operating
Expenses
Consolidated
operating expenses were approximately $18.8 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $4.6 million (32.6%) over the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to charges in the
current fiscal year period for (i) goodwill impairment and (ii) a write off of
deferred acquisition costs, versus no comparable amounts in the corresponding
prior fiscal year period. The effect of such charges, which totaled
approximately $6.0 million, was partially offset by declines in professional
fees expense and depreciation and amortization expense in the current fiscal
year period as compared to those amounts in the corresponding prior fiscal year
period.
SFAS 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which addresses the financial accounting
and reporting standards for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to
their acquisition, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on a periodic
basis. There is a two step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first
step of this test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair
value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The
second step, if necessary, measures the amount of the impairment. We performed
impairment tests on Acquired Onstream as of December 31, 2008, including an
assessment of the fair value of the net assets of these reporting units by
considering the projected cash flows and by analysis of comparable companies,
including such factors as the relationship of the comparable companies’ revenues
to their respective market values. Although, based on these factors, the first
step of the two step testing process of Acquired Onstream’s net assets (which
include the DMSP) preliminarily indicated that the fair value of those
intangible assets exceeded their recorded carrying value as of December 31,
2008, it was noted that as a result of recent substantial volatility
in the capital markets, our stock price and market value had decreased
significantly and as of December 31, 2008, our market capitalization, after
appropriate adjustments for control premium and other considerations, was
determined to be less than our net book value (i.e., stockholders’ equity as
reflected in our financial statements). Based on this condition, and in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, we recorded a non-cash expense, for
the impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets, of $5.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2008. None of our reporting units with
significant goodwill or intangible assets were scheduled for a recurring annual
impairment review during the June 30, 2009 quarter and as of June 30, 2009, we
noted no business or other conditions that would indicate the necessity for
interim “step one” testing of individual reporting units for impairment.
Therefore, the comparison of our market capitalization to our net book value as
of June 30, 2009 was not considered to be relevant at that date, and the
non-cash expense for the impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets
was also $5.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. However, if our
stock price and market value continue at the June 30, 2009 levels or decline
further, such condition may result in future non-cash impairment charges to our
results of operations related to our goodwill and other intangible
assets.
On May
29, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger
Agreement”) to acquire Narrowstep, Inc. (“Narrowstep”), which Merger Agreement
was amended twice (on August 13, 2008 and on September 15, 2008). The terms of
the Merger Agreement, as amended, allowed that if the Effective Time did not
occur on or prior to November 30, 2008, the Merger Agreement could be terminated
by either Onstream or Narrowstep at any time after that date provided that the
terminating party was not responsible for the delay. On March 18, 2009, we
terminated the Merger Agreement and the acquisition of Narrowstep. As a result
of this termination, we recorded the write-off of $540,007 of certain previously
deferred acquisition-related costs, which is reflected in our operating results
for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, we may incur additional
future costs and expenses not included in this write-off, as follows: (i)
satisfaction of a claim by Narrowstep for certain equipment alleged to be in our
custody and (ii) satisfaction of certain other damages asserted by Narrowstep,
in the event Narrowstep’s assertions are pursued by them and upheld in a legal
decision, which we do not expect, although this cannot be assured.

fee expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $705,000
(43.8%) less than the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This
decrease is primarily due to lower non-cash expenses related to equity-based
compensation (shares and options) paid for financial and other consulting
services.
Depreciation
and amortization expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was
approximately $556,000 (17.9%) less than the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year. This decrease is primarily due to (i) reduced depreciation expense
related to the DMSP as a result of certain DMSP components reaching the end of
the useful lives assigned to them for book depreciation purposes and (ii)
reduced amortization expense related to certain intangible assets as a result of
the impairment loss we recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2008,
which was recorded as a reduction of the historical depreciable cost basis of
those assets as of that date.
On August
11, 2009, our Compensation Committee authorized the extension of the expiration
date of 2,384,000 Plan Options, that would have expired on or before July 31,
2010 based on their initial terms, to a revised expiration date of August 11,
2014, which extension is reflected in the above table. No other terms of those
options were modified. As a result of this extension, we will recognize non-cash
compensation expense of approximately $398,000 for the three and twelve months
ended September 30, 2009. On August 11, 2009, our Compensation Committee also
agreed to grant 1,306,250 five-year Plan Options to senior management in
exchange for the cancellation of an equivalent number of non-Plan Options held
by those individuals and expiring at various dates through December 2008, with
no change in the exercise prices, which are all in excess of the market value of
an ONSM share as of August 11, 2009. As a result of this cancellation and
re-issuance, we will recognize non-cash compensation expense of approximately
$191,000 for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2009. On August 11,
2009, our Compensation Committee also agreed to grant another 749,305 five-year
Plan Options to senior management in exchange for the cancellation of an
equivalent number of non-Plan Options held by those individuals and expiring in
December 2008, with no change in the exercise price, provided such price is in
excess of the market value of an ONSM share as of the grant date. This grant is
subject to an adequate number of Plan shares becoming available as a result of
employment terminations and cancellation of unearned executive performance bonus
options. As a result of this cancellation and re-issuance, we expect to
recognize non-cash compensation expense of approximately $127,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2009.
As a
result of the expected continuation of the above trends in professional fees and
depreciation and amortization expense, we expect our consolidated operating
expenses for fiscal year 2009 to continue to be less than the corresponding
prior year amounts (excluding the impact of current and potential future
goodwill impairment charges as well as the write off of deferred acquisition
costs), although this cannot be assured.
Other
Expense
Other
expense of approximately $419,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
2009 was approximately $370,000 (768.4%) more expense as compared to the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This additional expense was
primarily related to an increase in interest expense of approximately $321,000,
arising from a much higher level of interest bearing debt for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. As of
June 30, 2009, we had outstanding interest bearing debt with a total face amount
of approximately $3.7 million, which was primarily comprised of (i) $1.5 million
in borrowings outstanding for working capital under a line of credit arrangement
with a financial institution, collateralized by our accounts receivable and
bearing interest at prime plus 8% (prime plus 11% from December 2, 2008), (ii)
convertible debentures for financing software and equipment purchases with a
balance of $1.0 million and incurring interest expense at 12% per annum and
(iii) a note payable for $1.0 million and incurring interest expense at 12% per
annum. In addition to these interest amounts, we are also recognizing interest
expense as a result of amortizing discount on these debts. As compared to the
approximately $3.7 million as of June 30, 2009, our interest bearing debt
totaled approximately $2.9 million as of June 30, 2008. Furthermore,
our interest bearing debt was approximately $3.1 million as of December 31,
2008, as compared to only approximately $900,000 at December 31, 2007. We also
anticipate our interest expense during the remainder of fiscal 2009 to continue
to be greater than the corresponding prior year amounts.

Revenues
and Gross Margin
Consolidated
operating revenue was approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $46,000 (1.0%) from the corresponding
period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to decreased revenues of the
Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group, partially offset by increased
revenues of the Digital Media Services Group.
Digital
Media Services Group revenues were approximately $2.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, which represented an increase of approximately
$50,000 (2.5%) over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This
increase was primarily due to an approximately $77,000 (21.7%) increase in DMSP
and hosting division revenues over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year. This increase in DMSP and hosting division revenues was comprised of an
approximately $93,000 increase in DMSP “Store and Stream” revenues.
The
increased Digital Media Services Group revenues also included an approximately
$2,300 (0.1%) increase in webcasting revenues for the three months ended June
30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The
number of webcasts produced increased to approximately 2,000 webcasts for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, versus approximately 1,900 webcasts for the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. However, since most of the 100
event increase was attributable to audio events with a lower per-event cost than
video events, the average revenue per webcast event decreased to approximately
$800 for the current fiscal year period as compared to approximately $832 for
the prior fiscal year period.
Audio and
Web Conferencing Services Group revenues were approximately $2.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $96,000 (3.9%)
from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
Consolidated
gross margin was approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2009, an increase of approximately $189,000 (6.4%) from the corresponding period
of the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to approximately
$317,000 more gross margin from the Digital Media Services Group corresponding
to the $50,000 increase in Digital Media Services Group revenues as discussed
above, as well as increased gross margin percentage on those revenues from 55.9%
to 69.8%. A primary reason for this increased gross margin percentage was a
reduction in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 of our direct costs related to
webcasting, including primarily our costs for production, as compared to those
direct webcasting costs for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
The
consolidated gross margin percentage was 70.5% for the three months ended June
30, 2009, versus 65.6% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year.
Operating
Expenses
Consolidated
operating expenses were approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $570,000 (12.5%) over the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to declines in
professional fees expense and depreciation and amortization expense in the
current fiscal year period as compared to those amounts in the corresponding
prior fiscal year period.
Professional
fee expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $184,000
(43.1%) less than the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This
decrease is primarily due to lower non-cash expenses related to equity-based
compensation (shares and options) paid for financial and other consulting
services.
Depreciation
and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was
approximately $468,000 (46.2%) less than the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year. This decrease is primarily due to (i) reduced depreciation expense
related to the DMSP as a result of certain DMSP components reaching the end of
the useful lives assigned to them for book depreciation purposes and (ii)
reduced amortization expense related to certain intangible assets as a result of
the impairment loss we recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2008,
which was recorded as a reduction of the historical depreciable cost basis of
those assets as of that date.
Other
Expense
Other
expense of approximately $190,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2009 was approximately $112,000 (143.7%) more expense as compared to the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This additional
expense was primarily related to an increase in interest expense of
approximately $112,000, arising from a much higher level of interest bearing
debt as of June 30, 2009 as compared to June 30, 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 reflect a net loss
of approximately $10.1 million, although cash provided by operations for that
period was approximately $153,000. Although we had cash of approximately
$586,000 at June 30, 2009, working capital was a deficit of approximately $2.2
million at that date.
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we obtained financing from three primary
sources – a) a line of credit arrangement (the “Line”) collateralized by our
accounts receivable, under which we have borrowed approximately $399,000 (net of
repayments) during the nine month period, b) a note collateralized by
all our assets not pledged under the Line for which we received $1.0 million in
cash during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and c) $100,000 in cash proceeds
from our sale of Series A-12 preferred in December 2008, net of subsequent
redemptions.
The
maximum allowable borrowing amount under the Line is now $1.6 million, subject
to certain formulas with respect to the amount and aging of the underlying
receivables. The outstanding balance ($1.599 million as of June 30, 2009) bears
interest at prime plus 11% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. The
outstanding principal under the Line may be repaid at any time, but no later
than December 2009, which term may be extended by the Company for an extra year,
subject to compliance with all loan terms, including no material adverse change.
The Company has not been in compliance with certain loan covenants through June
30, 2009, although the lender has granted waivers through those
dates.
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2009 we received $1.0 million from Rockridge Capital
Holdings, LLC (“Rockridge”), an entity controlled by one of our largest
shareholders, in accordance with the terms of a Note and Stock Purchase
Agreement that we entered into with Rockridge dated April 14, 2009. In
connection with this transaction, we issued a Note (the “Rockridge Note”), which
is secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets, such lien
subordinated only to the extent higher priority liens on assets, primarily
accounts receivable and certain designated software and equipment, are held by
certain of our other lenders. We also entered into a Security Agreement with
Rockridge that contains certain covenants and other restrictions with respect to
the collateral.
The
Rockridge Note is repayable in equal monthly installments of approximately
$38,000 commencing May 14, 2009 and extending over two years, which installments
include principal (except for a $250,000 balloon payable at the end of the two
year period and which balloon payment is also convertible into restricted ONSM
common shares under certain circumstances) plus interest (at 12% per annum) on
the remaining unpaid balance. The Note and Stock Purchase Agreement also
provides that Rockridge may receive an origination fee upon not less than
sixty-one (61) days written notice to us, which fee would be satisfied by our
issuance of 1,500,000 restricted ONSM common shares. The value of those shares
is subject to a limited guaranty of no more than an additional payment by us of
$75,000 which will be effective in the event the shares are sold for an average
share price less than the minimum of $0.20 per share.
We
prepaid the dividends on all initially issued shares of Series A-12 ($800,000
stated value) through the date of the automatic conversion to ONSM common shares
(December 31, 2009). In accordance with the terms of the Series A-12, at any
time after June 30, 2009 until it automatically converts to ONSM common shares
on December 31, 2009, the holders may require us, to the extent legally
permitted, to redeem up to 20,000 shares ($200,000 stated value) of the Series
A-12 shares. On April 14, 2009, we entered into a Redemption Agreement with one
of the holders of the Series A-12, under which the holder redeemed 10,000 shares
of Series A-12 in exchange for our payment of $100,000 on April 16, 2009.
Accordingly, until December 31, 2009, we may be required to redeem up to another
10,000 Series A-12 shares by the other holder.
We are
currently obligated under convertible Equipment Notes with a face value of $1.0
million which are collateralized by specifically designated software and
equipment owned by us with a cost basis of approximately $1.5 million, as well
as a subordinated lien on certain other of our assets to the extent that the
designated software and equipment, or other software and equipment added to the
collateral at a later date, is not considered sufficient security for the loan.
Interest is payable every 6 months in cash or, at our option, in restricted ONSM
common shares, based on a conversion price equal to seventy-five percent (75%)
of the average ONSM closing price for the thirty (30) trading days prior to the
date the applicable payment is due. The next interest payment date is October
31, 2009 and the principal is not due before June 2011. The Equipment Notes may
be converted to restricted ONSM common shares at any time prior to their
maturity date, at the holder’s option, based on a conversion price equal to
seventy-five percent (75%) of the average ONSM closing price for the thirty (30)
trading days prior to the date of conversion, but in no event may the conversion
price be less than $0.80 per share. In the event the Notes are converted prior
to maturity, interest on the Equipment Notes for the remaining unexpired loan
period will be due and payable in additional restricted ONSM common shares in
accordance with the same formula for interest as described above.
In
accordance with the terms of our acquisition of Infinite Conferencing, we agreed
that in the event the accumulated gross proceeds of the sale of certain shares
issued in connection with that acquisition were less than a contractually
defined amount, we would pay the difference. On March 12, 2008, we executed
promissory notes (the “Infinite Notes”) in satisfaction of that obligation,
which had a remaining principal balance due of $8,399 plus accrued interest at
12% per annum as of June 30, 2009. We have paid the final $8,399 principal due
on this obligation in July 2009 and a final payment of accrued interest of
approximately $68,000 was due on July 10, 2009. The Infinite Notes are
collateralized by all of our assets other than accounts receivable and are
subordinated to the first $4.0 million of our debt outstanding from time to
time.
We are
also obligated under 2 capital leases: (i) a capital lease for audio
conferencing equipment payable in equal monthly payments of $10,172 through
August 2010, which includes interest at approximately 5% per annum, plus an
optional final payment based on fair value, but not to exceed $16,974 and (ii) a
capital lease for telephone equipment payable in equal monthly payments of $828
through January 2014, which includes interest at approximately 11% per
annum.
Projected
capital expenditures for the next twelve months total approximately $1.8 million
which includes software development and hardware upgrades to the DMSP, software
development and hardware upgrades to the webcasting system (including iEncode)
and software and hardware upgrades to the audio and web conferencing
infrastructure. This total includes the payment of approximately $372,000
reflected by us as accounts payable at June 30, 2009 (which will not be
reflected as capital expenditures in our cash flow statement until
paid). Certain of these projected capital expenditures may be
financed, deferred past the twelve month period or cancelled entirely. In
addition, approximately $179,000 of the Narrowstep acquisition costs first
deferred and then written off by us through June 30, 2009 are included in
accounts payable at that date and will not be reflected as capital expenditures
in our cash flow statement until paid.
On March
18, 2009, we terminated the Merger Agreement for the acquisition of Narrowstep,
which Merger Agreement we had first entered into on May 29, 2008 and then was
amended twice (on August 13, 2008 and on September 15, 2008). The Merger
Agreement could be terminated by either Onstream or Narrowstep at any time after
November 30, 2008 provided that the terminating party was not responsible for
the delay. As a result of this termination, we recorded the write-off of certain
acquisition-related costs in our operating results for the nine and three months
ended June 30, 2009. In addition, we may incur additional future costs and
expenses not included in this write-off, as follows: (i) satisfaction of a claim
by Narrowstep for certain equipment alleged to be in our custody and (ii)
satisfaction of certain other damages asserted by Narrowstep.
In
November 2008 Narrowstep invoiced us approximately $372,000 for Narrowstep’s
equipment alleged to be in our custody as of that date and in June 2009 a letter
issued by Narrowstep’s counsel demanded that we pay $400,000 related to this
matter. Although we acknowledged possession of at least some of this equipment,
we have not agreed to a payment for that equipment and believe that if a payment
were made it would be substantially less than the Narrowstep invoice.
Accordingly, this matter is not reflected as a liability on our financial
statements, nor have we included any related assets on our financial statements.
However, we received approximately $32,000 in merchandise credit for certain of
this equipment, which credit was recorded as a reduction of our write-off of
acquisition costs for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2009 and is
considered to be a valid offset to certain amounts included in that write-off
but which we believe should have been paid by Narrowstep. Also, in addition to
these costs, we believe that we could seek reimbursement from Narrowstep of
certain compensation and other general and administrative costs reflected in our
operating expenses through June 30, 2009 (i.e., not segregated as part of the
specific write-off of acquisition costs), since they were incurred in direct
support of Narrowstep operations.
On April
16, 2009 Narrowstep issued a press release announcing that it is seeking $14
million and other damages (including the above matter) from us, as a result of
our alleged actions in connection with the termination of the agreement to
acquire Narrowstep. This demand was made in the form of a letter issued by
Narrowstep’s counsel, although to the best of our knowledge, no formal lawsuit
has been filed by Narrowstep. After reviewing the demand letter issued by
Narrowstep’s counsel, we believe that Narrowstep has no basis in fact or in law
for any claim. Accordingly, this matter is not reflected as a liability on
our financial statements.
In May
2009, we were sued for breach of contract for legal services allegedly rendered
to us in the amount of approximately $383,000. We have accrued approximately
$115,000 related to this matter on our financial statements as of June 30, 2009
and believe that our ultimate liability in this matter could be less than this
accrual and in any event that its ultimate resolution will not have a material
adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In August
2009, we received a letter from the vendor of certain software used in our Smart
Encoding division, stating that the related licenses would be terminated if
payment of approximately $306,000 ($282,000 of which is accrued as a liability
on our June 30, 2009 balance sheet) was not made by September 4, 2009 and that
our obligation to pay this amount would not be affected by such license
termination. We believe that the termination of these licenses would not have a
material effect on our ongoing operations and furthermore believe that we have
meritorious defenses supporting our lack of payment to date, including product
performance and integration issues.
During
February 2009, we took actions to reduce our personnel and certain other
operating costs by approximately $65,000 per month, which savings are fully
reflected in the operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, and as described above, we obtained
$1.0 million incremental financing proceeds. We have estimated that, absent any
further reductions in our current and planned expenditure levels, and after
considering the effects of the above noted cost reductions and incremental
financing, we would require an approximately 10-11% increase in our consolidated
revenues starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, as compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 2009, in order to adequately fund those expenditures
(including debt service and anticipated capital expenditures) through September
30, 2009. We have estimated that, in addition to this ongoing revenue increase,
we will also require a one-time cash infusion of approximately $1.0 to $1.5
million to adequately address our current working capital deficit, although we
expect that this full amount will not be required on or before September 30,
2009.
We have
implemented specific actions, including hiring additional sales personnel,
developing new products and initiating new marketing programs, geared towards
achieving the above revenue increases. The costs associated with these
actions were contemplated in the above calculations. However, in the
event we are unable to achieve these revenue increases, we believe that a
combination of identified decreases in our current level of expenditures that we
would implement and the raising of additional capital in the form of debt and/or
equity that we believe we could obtain from identified sources would be
sufficient to allow us to operate through September 30, 2009. Effective April 1,
2009, we began to identify and implement certain infrastructure and other cost
savings. We will closely monitor our revenue and other business activity through
the remainder of fiscal 2009 to determine if further cost reductions, the
raising of additional capital or other activity is considered
necessary.
Our
accumulated deficit was approximately $112.4 million at June 30, 2009. We have
incurred losses since our inception and our operations have been financed
primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. Cash used for operations will
be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but
not limited to, our ability to successfully market and sell the DMSP, market our
other existing products and services, the degree to which competitive products
and services are introduced to the market, and our ability to control overhead
expenses as we grow.
As of
August 7, 2009, there were approximately 681,000 registered options and warrants
outstanding, excluding options held by directors and employees, to purchase ONSM
shares with exercise prices from $1.00 to $1.10 per share. The closing ONSM
share price was $0.32 per share on August 7, 2009 and $0.59 per share on August
13, 2009.
Other
than working capital which may become available to us through the exercise of
outstanding options and warrants or from further borrowing, we do not presently
have any additional sources of working capital other than cash on hand and cash,
if any, generated from operations. There are no assurances whatsoever that any
options or warrants will be exercised, that we will be able to borrow further
funds (including the renewal or extension of the Line after its December 2009
expiration), or that we will increase our revenues and/or control our expenses
to a level sufficient to continue and/or provide positive cash flow. We cannot
assure that our revenues will continue at their present levels, nor can we
assure that they will not decrease.
As long
as our cash flow from sales remains insufficient to completely fund operating
expenses, financing costs and capital expenditures, we will continue depleting
our cash and other financial resources. As a result of the uncertainty as to our
available working capital over the upcoming months (including the renewal or
extension of the Line after its December 2009 expiration), we may be required to
delay or cancel certain of the projected capital expenditures, some of the
planned marketing expenditures, or other planned expenses. In addition, it is
possible that we will need to seek additional capital through equity and/or debt
financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of
debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional
funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the
percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be
reduced and those shareholders may experience significant
dilution.
There can
be no assurance that acceptable financing, if needed to fund our ongoing
operations, can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to
continue our existing operations and/or to continue to implement our growth
strategy could suffer if we are unable to raise additional funds on acceptable
terms, which will have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results
of operations.
Cash
provided by operating activities was approximately $153,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009, as compared to approximately $124,000 used in operations
for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The $153,000 reflects our
net loss of approximately $10.1 million, reduced by approximately $9.9 million
of non-cash expenses included in that loss as well as by approximately $429,000
arising from a net decrease in non-cash working capital items during the period.
The decrease in non-cash working capital items for the nine months ended June
30, 2009 is primarily due to an approximately $474,000 increase in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. This compares to a net decrease in non-cash
working capital items of approximately $128,000 for the corresponding period of
the prior fiscal year. The primary non-cash expenses included in our loss for
the nine months ended June 30, 2009 were $5.5 million arising from a charge for
impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, $2.6 million of depreciation
and amortization, approximately $723,000 of employee compensation expense
arising from the issuance of stock and options, an approximately $540,000 write
off of deferred acquisition costs and approximately $176,000 of amortization of
deferred professional fee expenses paid for by issuing stock and options. The
primary sources of cash inflows from operations are from receivables collected
from sales to customers. Future cash inflows from sales are subject
to our pricing and ability to procure business at existing market
conditions.
Cash used
in investing activities was approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $1.0 million for the corresponding
period of the prior fiscal year. Current and prior period investing activities
primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment, although the
current period also included approximately $163,000 of Narrowstep acquisition
costs that were included in the $540,000 write off of such costs recorded in
March 2009.
Cash
provided by financing activities was approximately $848,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $1.4 million for the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Current and prior period
financing activities primarily related to net proceeds from notes payable and
convertible debentures, net of repayments. The current period also included
proceeds from the sale of A-12 preferred shares, net of
redemptions.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and our significant
accounting policies are described in Note 1 to those statements. The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that we
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Our
assumptions are based on historical experiences and changes in the business
environment. However, actual results may differ from estimates under
different conditions, sometimes materially. Critical accounting
policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the
management’s most subjective judgments. Our most critical accounting
policies and estimates are described as follows.
Our prior
acquisitions of several businesses, including the Onstream Merger and the
Infinite Merger, have resulted in significant increases in goodwill and other
intangible assets. Goodwill and other unamortized intangible assets, which
include acquired customer lists, were approximately $19.2 million at June 30,
2009, representing approximately 74% of our total assets and 100% of the book
value of shareholder equity. In addition, property and equipment as of June 30,
2009 includes approximately $1.0 million (net of depreciation) related to the
DMSP.
In
accordance with GAAP, we periodically test these assets for potential
impairment. As part of our testing, we rely on both historical
operating performance as well as anticipated future operating performance of the
entities that have generated these intangibles. Factors that could
indicate potential impairment include a significant change in projected
operating results and cash flow, a new technology developed and other external
market factors that may affect our customer base. We will continue to
monitor our intangible assets and our overall business environment. If there is
a material change in our business operations, the value of our intangible
assets, including the DMSP, could decrease significantly. In the event that it
is determined that we will be unable to successfully market or sell the DMSP, an
impairment charge to our statement of operations could result. Any future
determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of unamortized
intangible assets, although not requiring any additional cash outlay, could have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
We follow
a two step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first step of this
test, used to identify potential impairment and described above, compares the
fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The
second step, if necessary, measures the amount of the impairment, including a
comparison and reconciliation of the carrying value of all of our reporting
units to our market capitalization, after appropriate adjustments for control
premium and other considerations. If our market capitalization, after
appropriate adjustments for control premium and other considerations, is
determined to be less than Onstream’s net book value (i.e., stockholders’ equity
as reflected in our financial statements), that condition might indicate an
impairment requiring the write-off of a significant portion of unamortized
intangible assets, although not requiring any additional cash outlay, could have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We will closely monitor and evaluate all such factors as of September 30, 2009
and subsequent periods, in order to determine whether to record future non-cash
impairment charges.
ITEM
4 - Controls and Procedures
Limitations on the
effectiveness of controls
We are
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and
procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of external
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. However, all control systems, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Further, the design of a control system must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must
be considered relative to their costs. Therefore, even those systems determined
to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements, omissions, errors or even fraud. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Management’s report on
disclosure controls and procedures:
As
required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as of the end of the period covered by the quarterly report, being June
30, 2009, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures. This
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
our company's management, including our company's President along with our
company's Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's
President along with our company's Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in internal control over
financial reporting:
As
required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, we have carried out an evaluation of changes in our company's internal
control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly
Report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the
participation of our company's management, including our company's President
along with our company's Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation,
our company's President along with our company's Chief Financial Officer
concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly
Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1 - Legal Proceedings
We are
involved in litigation and regulatory investigations arising in the ordinary
course of business. While the ultimate outcome of these matters is not presently
determinable, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these
outstanding claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position or results of operations.
On May
26, 2009, we were served with a Summons and Complaint filed in Broward County,
Florida, containing a breach of contract claim against us by a firm seeking
compensation for legal services allegedly rendered to us, plus court costs, in
the amount of approximately $383,000. We filed a motion to dismiss this
complaint, which was granted on August 5, 2009, but allows the plaintiff ten
(10) days to refile its complaint. We have accrued approximately $115,000
related to this matter on our financial statements as of June 30, 2009.
Regardless of this, we believe that our ultimate liability in this matter could
be less than this accrual and in any event that the ultimate resolution of the
matter will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or
results of operations.
Item
2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During
the period from May 9, 2009 through June 30, 2009, we recorded the issuance of
10,000 unregistered shares of common stock for financial consulting and advisory
services. The services will be provided over a period of one month, and will
result in a professional fees expense of approximately $2,700 over the service
period. None of these shares were issued to Company directors or officers,
although they were issued to a major shareholder (more than 5% beneficial
ownership interest).
On May
21, 2009, we issued 294,589 unregistered shares of common stock for interest on
$1,000,000 face value convertible debentures for the period from November 2008
through April 2009. The shares were in satisfaction of interest
expense of approximately $67,756 recognized over that period. None of these
shares were issued to Company directors or officers.
During
the period from July 1, 2009 through August 7, 2009, we recorded the issuance of
50,000 unregistered shares of common stock for financial consulting and advisory
services. The services will be provided over a period of two to five months, and
will result in a professional fees expense of approximately $16,000 over the
service period. None of these shares were issued to Company directors or
officers, although 20,000 of these shares were issued to a major shareholder (in
excess of 5% beneficial Company ownership interest).
All of
the above securities were offered and sold without such offers and sales being
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
promulgated thereunder, the "Securities Act"), in reliance on exemptions
therefrom as provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act of
1933, for securities issued in private transactions. The recipients were either
accredited or otherwise sophisticated investors and the certificates evidencing
the shares that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability
absent registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or the availability of an
applicable exemption therefrom. The purchasers had access to business and
financial information concerning our company. Each purchaser represented that he
or she was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a
view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable
securities laws.
