THE ORCHARD ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On November 13, 2007, The Orchard Enterprises, Inc. (formerly known as Digital Music Group,
Inc. (DMGI), a Delaware corporation formed in April 2005, and hereinafter referred to as the
Company) consummated a business combination with Orchard Enterprises NY, Inc. (formerly known as
The Orchard Enterprises Inc., a New York corporation formed in September 2000) (Orchard NY)
through a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of DMGI with and into Orchard NY pursuant to the
terms of the Second Amended and Restated Merger Agreement dated October 5, 2007, as amended on
November 7, 2007 (the Merger). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, all of the outstanding
common and preferred stock of Orchard NY was cancelled and the former stockholders of Orchard NY
received an aggregate of 2,862,910 shares of DMGI common stock (after giving effect to a one for
three reverse stock split of DMGIs common stock that took effect on November 14, 2007) and
446,918 shares of DMGI Series A convertible preferred stock (the DMGI Series A Preferred Stock).
In addition, DMGI assumed the obligations of Orchard NY under its outstanding deferred common and
preferred stock awards, which, pursuant to the terms of the Merger, now represent the right to
receive 157,683 shares of DMGI common stock (on a post-split basis) and 1,915 shares of DMGI
Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with the Merger, Orchard NY became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, with the former stockholders of Orchard NY collectively owning shares
of the Companys common and preferred stock representing approximately 60% of the voting power of
the Companys outstanding capital stock.
For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a reverse acquisition with Orchard NY
being the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial results prior to the Merger
are those of Orchard NY and its consolidated subsidiaries. The results of operations for DMGI and
its pre-Merger consolidated subsidiaries are included in the Companys consolidated financial
results beginning on November 13, 2007.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month and six month period ended
June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2008.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes
required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2008.
2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception.
The Company incurred net losses of $785,492 and $1,889,877 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, respectively. Prior to the Merger, Orchard NY received funds from Dimensional
Associates, LLC (Dimensional) (a controlling stockholder) to operate its business. However,
subsequent to the Merger, this has not and is not expected to continue. Management believes cash
balances on-hand will be sufficient
4
THE ORCHARD ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
to fund its net cash requirements over the next 12 months. Should additional resources be
required, management may seek to raise funds through the issuance of debt or equity
securities.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Loss per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings per
share, except that the number of shares is increased to include potentially dilutive securities
using the treasury stock method. Because the Company incurred a net loss in all periods presented,
all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share
because the effect of including them is anti-dilutive.
The merger with Orchard NY in November 2007 was, for financial reporting purposes, treated as
a reverse acquisition. Because the number of shares outstanding following a reverse acquisition is
significantly different from the number of shares outstanding prior to the combination, the
weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of presenting net loss per share on a comparative
basis has been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented in order to reflect the
effect of the reverse acquisition. In effect, the reverse acquisition is similar to a stock split
for the accounting acquirer, and retroactively restating the weighted average shares outstanding
is consistent with the accounting required by SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share , for stock splits,
stock dividends, and reverse stock splits. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net

Convertible Instruments The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded
in its convertible instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock (EITF 00-19).
SFAS 133 generally provides three criteria that, if met, requires companies to bifurcate
conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative
financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. These three criteria include circumstances
in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not
clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b)
the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract
is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting
principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they

occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would
be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of SFAS 133. SFAS 133 and EITF
00-19 also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional
(as that term is described in the implementation guidance to SFAS 133 and further clarified in EITF
Issue No. 05-2, The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument in Issue No. 00-19).
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded
conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with the
provisions of EITF Issue No. 98-5. Accounting for Convertible Securities and Beneficial Conversion
Features (EITF 98-5) and EITF Issue No. 00-27. application of EITF 98-5 to Certain Convertible
Instruments. Accordingly, the company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for
the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences
between the fair market value of underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note
transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these
transactions and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these
arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption.
The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion
options embedded in preferred stock based upon the differences between the fair value of the
underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion
price embedded in the note.
Preferred Stock The Company applies the guidance in SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150), and EITF
Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (EITF D-98), when
determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Preferred stock subject to
mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair
value in accordance with SFAS 150. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the
classification and measurement principles of EITF Topic D-98. Accordingly the Company classifies
conditionally redeemable preferred stock (if any), which includes preferred stock that feature
redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon
the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Companys control, as temporary equity.
At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred stock as a component of stockholders
equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair
value measurements. We adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB
issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which
provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 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. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. The adoption of SFAS No.
157 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to
report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159s objective is to
reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings
caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between Companies that
choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159
requires Companies to provide additional information that will help
6
investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the
Companys choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair
value of those assets and liabilities for which the Company has chosen to use fair value on the
face of the balance sheet. We adopted SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No.
159 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141(R),
Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations . SFAS
141(R) establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and
measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination,
including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies.
SFAS 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be
expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS
141(R) will be applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2008. SFAS 141(R) would have an impact on the accounting for any businesses acquired by the Company
after the effective date of the pronouncement.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements-An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as
minority interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained non-controlling interest upon the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS 160,
the Company would be required to report any non-controlling interests as a separate component of
stockholders equity (deficit). The Company would also be required to present any net income (loss)
allocable to non-controlling interests and net income (loss) attributable to the stockholders of
the Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. SFAS 160 is effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2008. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for
existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively.
SFAS 160 would have an impact on the presentation and disclosure of the non-controlling interests
of any non wholly-owned businesses acquired by the Company in the future.
In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133
(SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance
and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier
periods at initial adoption. Management has determined at this time
that this pronouncement does not apply to any of its transactions.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets (FSP SFAS 142-3). FSP SFAS 142-3 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 FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The
objective of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of the asset under SFAS 141R, Business Combinations, and other U.S. GAAP principles. FSP SFAS
142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP SFAS
142-3 is effective January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On November 13, 2007, DMGI consummated a business combination with Orchard NY through the
merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of DMGI with and into Orchard NY. Pursuant to the terms of the
Merger, all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Orchard NY was cancelled and the
former stockholders of Orchard NY received an aggregate of 2,862,910 shares of DMGI common stock
(after giving effect to a one for three reverse stock split of DMGIs common stock that took effect
on November 14, 2007) and 446,918 shares of DMGI Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, DMGI
assumed the obligations of Orchard NY under its outstanding deferred common and preferred stock
awards, which, pursuant to the terms of the Merger, now represent the right to receive 157,683
shares of DMGI common stock (on a post-split basis) and 1,915 shares of DMGI Series A Preferred
Stock. In connection with the Merger, Orchard NY became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
with the former stockholders of Orchard NY collectively owning shares of the Companys common and
preferred stock representing approximately 60% of the voting power of the Companys outstanding
capital stock.
The Merger provided Orchard NY with several advantages, including improved competitive
position, economies of scale, access to certain digital retailers that Orchard NY was not
previously using, and a NASDAQ Global Market listing. These factors contributed to a purchase price
in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired from DMGI, and as a
result, the Company has recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.
The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting as required by SFAS 141, Business Combinations . Under the purchase method of
accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets
and assumed liabilities of DMGI based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the
Merger. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed is allocated to goodwill.
The composition of the purchase price consideration is as follows:

As of November 13, 2007, the closing date of the Merger, and after giving effect to a one for
three reverse stock split of DMGIs common stock that took effect on November 14, 2007, DMGI had
3,021,202 shares of common stock outstanding. The fair value of DMGI common stock used in
determining the purchase price was $12.74 per share, after giving effect to the one for three
reverse stock split of DMGIs common stock, based on its average closing price on NASDAQ for the
two days prior to through the two days subsequent to the merger announcement date of July 11,
2007. The final estimated fair value of the DMGI stock options and warrants was determined using
the Trinomial Lattice Model based on the number and terms of DMGI stock options and warrants
outstanding on the closing date of the Merger. The Companys merger-related costs include
approximately $2,100,000 in legal, accounting and other direct costs and approximately $445,000 in
employee termination, relocation, lease cancellation and other costs to be incurred with
integrating and consolidating the merged operations.
The adjustments and methodology used in allocating the purchase consideration related to DMGI
and in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined information presented below are based
on estimates, available information and certain assumptions, which may be revised as additional
information becomes available.

5. ROYALTY ADVANCES
The Company has the exclusive right to distribute certain music and video content in certain
geographic areas pursuant to short-term and long-term agreements with the content owners. These
distribution agreements primarily have initial terms ranging from three to ten years and, in
certain cases, grant the Company the right to extend the agreement for an additional term.
Pursuant to certain of these agreements, generally those with longer or more favorable terms, the
Company has paid royalty advances that are to be recouped from the content owners share of
future revenues. Royalty advances that management estimates are reasonably likely to be recouped
through revenues over the next 12 months are classified as a current asset in the accompanying
balance sheets.

7. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock The Company has designated 448,833 shares of its
preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock of which 448,833 shares were considered issued and
outstanding as of June 30, 2008. The Series A Preferred Stock is: (a) the Companys most senior
class or series of securities, (b) convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at any
time at an effective per share conversion price of $55.70 (equivalent to $16.72 per share of common
stock), and (c) redeemable at the option of the board of directors anytime after the fifth
anniversary of original issuance date, at the sole discretion of the board, provided that the
common shares are trading at $30.00 per share or higher for
thirty days in a row and subject to certain other limitations, at a price per share of $55.70
(equivalent to $16.72 per share of common stock) plus unpaid accrued dividends. The Series A
Preferred Stock has no set dividend rights, but is entitled to participate in any dividends
declared by the Company on its common stock on an as converted basis. The Series A Preferred Stock
is also entitled to a liquidation preference upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Company at an amount equivalent to the greater of: (a) $55.70
(equivalent to $16.72 per share of common stock) per share plus any unpaid accrued dividends and
(b) the per share amount that would be payable if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted
into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event plus unpaid
10
THE ORCHARD ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
accrued dividends. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an as converted
basis with the holders of common stock on general matters subject to stockholder vote. However,
certain actions require the approval of the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a
single class. These actions include: (a) amendments to the articles of incorporation or bylaws of
the Company, (b) changes in the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (c)
authorization or designation of any new class of Series A Preferred Stock ranking superior to or
on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to voting powers, preferences, dividends
or other special rights, privileges, qualifications, or restrictions, (d) any reorganization,
recapitalization, or reclassification of the Companys capital stock, and (e) any redemption or
repurchase of any securities of the Company.
In accordance with EITF-D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, the
Company has classified the Series A Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity because the
securities contain contingent redemption features that are not solely within the control of the
Company. The securities are carried at their face value (representing fair value) because the
contingency has not been met and it is not probable. If the redemption were considered likely to
occur, the carrying value would be adjusted to its liquidation value.
8. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Blank Check Preferred The Company is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock with such
designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is authorized, without stockholder approval, to
issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation conversion, voting or other rights that could
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event
of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of
discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. The Company is authorized to issue a
total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock of which 448,833 has been designated Series A
Preferred Stock and 551,167 preferred shares remain undesignated and authorized for issuance.
Common Stock The common stock (a) is the Companys most junior class of stock, (b) has no
liquidation preference, (c) has no set dividend rights, and (d) is not convertible. As of June
30, 2008, there were 2,140,993 shares of common stock reserved for the issuance of stock options,
warrants and the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Warrants The Company has outstanding warrants that entitle the holder to purchase up to a
total of 91,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $36.56. These warrants, which were
issued in connection with DMGIs initial public offering in February 2006, are fully vested as of
February 2, 2007 and expire on February 2, 2011.
Deferred Stock Awards From July through November 2007, Orchard NY granted deferred stock
awards to its Chief Executive Officer and an executive of an affiliated entity who performed
consulting services for Orchard NY. The awards provide such individuals with the right to
receive an aggregate of 1,915 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 157,683 shares of Company
common stock. The deferred stock awards are fully vested and non-forfeitable and are therefore
included in the outstanding common stock of the Company as of June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007.
Stock Plan On June 4, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the
Companys 2008 Stock Plan, which amended the Companys 2005 Stock Plan (the Plan). The Plan
provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code, to employees and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock
appreciation rights, and restricted stock to employees, directors, and consultants. The
Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors administers the Plan and has the
authority to make awards under the Plan and establish vesting and other terms, but cannot grant
stock options at less than the fair value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant or
re-price stock options previously granted. The employee stock

options granted under the Plan generally vest ratably over three to four years of service and
expire seven to ten years from the date of grant (or ninety days after the termination of
employment). Prior to the adoption of the Companys 2008 Stock Plan, the 2005 Stock Plan provided
for annual stock option grants to non-employee directors pursuant to a formula defined within the
Plan which established the number and terms of such grants. The Plan, as adopted by the
stockholders, does not provide for annual stock option grants to
non-employee directors. As of June 30, 2008, there were 1,000,000 shares of common stock that have been issued
or are reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Effective
upon the adoption of the Plan by the stockholders, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a revised Non-Executive
Directors Compensation Program which, among other things, grants an
annual restricted stock award and annual stock options to
non-employee directors in consideration of their service on the Board
of Directors.
The Company uses the Trinomial Lattice Model to estimate the fair value of stock option
grants. This method incorporates calculations for expected volatility, risk-free interest rates,
employee exercise patterns and post-vesting employee termination behavior and these factors affect
the estimate of the fair value of the Companys stock options. The following weighted-average
assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of stock options awards for the six months ended
June 30, 2008:

The Company calculates the expected volatility for stock-based awards using comparable
industry data because sufficient historical trading data does not yet exist for the Companys
stock. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate for stock-based awards based on historical
data. The risk-free rate for stock options granted during the period is determined by using a
zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rate for the period that coincides with the expected option terms. The
Company has elected to use the simplified method described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107,
Share-Based Payment , to estimate the expected term of employee stock options.

The fair value of restricted stock issued under the Plan is determined based on the closing
price of the Companys common stock on the grant date.
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company has $2,153,069 in unrecognized compensation cost related to
stock options and restricted stock granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of 2.66 years. The Company recognized compensation expense of
$365,196 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to the
issuance of stock options and restricted stock under the Plan.
On the first day of each year, the shares available under the Plan are increased by the
lesser of (i) 250,000 shares, (ii) 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on such
date, and (iii) an amount determined by the Companys Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2008, a
total of 141,542 shares remained available for grant under the Plan.
9. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From time to time the Company has amounts due to and from related parties. These amounts
are billed and paid on a regular basis. Net payables to affiliates totaled $412 and $0 at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Operating Lease With Affiliate In April 2006, the Company began utilizing space subleased
by eMusic, an entity controlled by Dimensional, with no formal sublease agreement in place. The
Company paid the lessee directly for the space utilized. In August 2007, the sublease to this
space was assigned by eMusic to the Company and, accordingly, there is no related party expense
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 under this arrangement.
The Company incurred $81,692 and $169,225 of
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 related to this arrangement. The lease expires in
January 2009.
Legal Costs The Company has engaged several outside legal firms to represent its general
business interests. One such firm employs a family member of one of the senior executives of
Dimensional who also is a member of the Companys Board of Directors. Amounts included in
operating expenses in connection with the services performed by this
legal firm were $114,841 and $2,263 for the three months and $200,015 and
$2,263 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Distribution Services With eMusic eMusic provides digital music distribution services to
the Company under a Digital Music Wholesale Agreement, dated January 1, 2004, as amended on March
12, 2007. The agreement grants eMusic worldwide rights, on a non-exclusive basis, to exploit the
Companys master recordings digitally and via the Internet through December 31, 2009. Pursuant to
the agreement, the Company is entitled to better royalty terms if eMusic allows any other
independent record label such better terms during the term of the agreement (a Most Favored
Nation clause). Amounts included in revenues in connection with
these services were $1,075,088 and $642,973 for the three months and $2,350,188
and $1,316,823 for the six months June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Amounts included in
accounts receivable in connection with these services were $1,108,598 and $1,075,602 at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
The Company has distribution agreements with certain labels whereby it has agreed to
forego distribution fees to the label or artist for sales by eMusic.
For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
received revenues of $214,100 and $136,792 and for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company received revenues of
$451,154 and $380,699, respectively,
from eMusic relating to such agreements. These amounts were recorded in revenues with an equal
amount recorded in cost of revenues.
Revenue Sharing Agreement With CGH Ventures, Inc During 2003, Orchard Management, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a revenue sharing agreement with CGH
Ventures, Inc., an entity owned by two of the former stockholders of Orchard NY. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company is obligated to pay CGH Ventures, Inc. 80% of the net revenues earned by
Orchard Management, Inc. Orchard Management, Inc. provides management services to a recording
group. The Company recorded $16,384 and $3,604 for the three months
and $30,708 and $15,978 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, as commission expense for CGHs share of the net revenue earned under the
management agreement. The commission expense was included in cost of revenues in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to litigation matters and claims from time to time in the ordinary
course of its operations, including copyright infringement litigation for which it is entitled
to indemnification by content providers. While the results of such litigation and claims cannot
be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such matters will
not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of
operations.
On March 11, 2008, the Company initiated suit in federal court in the Eastern District of
California against TufAmerica, Inc. The complaint alleges fraud, breach of contract and various
other wrongs in connection with a contract dispute with TufAmerica, Inc. concerning the number,
nature and technical quality of master recordings the label was required to deliver to our company
under the contract. The Company requested various forms of relief from the court, including the
return of approximately $2.4 million in fees and advances already paid under the contract. On
April 23, 2008, TufAmerica answered the Companys complaint denying the causes of action asserted
against it and asserting its own counterclaims against the Company for breach of contract.
Although the claim did not specify an exact amount of damages sought, during the course of the
dispute TufAmerica, Inc. had sent a letter to the Company claiming damages in the amount of
approximately $1.2 million. The discovery process has begun but, because the litigation is in its
early stages, the Company is unable to determine if the outcome of this case will be favorable to
it. While the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses and intends to pursue them
vigorously, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company can provide no assurance as to the
ultimate outcome.

THE ORCHARD ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
On December 15, 2006, MCS Music America, Inc., on behalf of itself and other publishers,
brought an action for copyright infringement against Napster, Inc., one of the Companys
digital music stores. MCS alleged that compositions included in 338 sound recordings made
available to Napster as part of its subscription service and freenapster infringed on
copyrights owned by MCS. 16 of the 338 sound recordings were licensed to Napster by the
Company pursuant to the Content Agreement dated August 26, 2004. On July 10, 2008, MCS and
Napster settled the claim.
Under the terms of the Content Agreement, the Company indemnified Napster for damages,
including legal fees, incurred by Napster for any copyright infringement related to the content
being licensed from the Company. In connection with the settlement, the
Company is liable for approximately $60,000 in settlement of the
claim. The Company has recognized $60,000 of expense related to this
claim in June 2008. In addition, the
Company is responsible to reimburse Napster for its pro rata share of Napsters legal expenses
the amount of which is not currently known.
We are involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of our
business. To our knowledge, there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings that could
have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 3, 2008, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of TeeVee Toons, Inc.
and/or its affiliates (TVT Records) record label business operations, including but not limited
to, masters, artists agreements, certain inventory, accounts
receivable and a real property lease (the Assets) and
assumed certain liabilities of TVT Records related to the Assets that the Company elected to
acquire. The aggregate purchase price for the Assets was $5,050,000 (subject to reduction). On
July 3, 2008, the Company paid to TVT Records the sum of $2,500,000 to acquire all of the Assets,
other than certain executory contracts, the assignment of which are the subject of objections in
TVT Records bankruptcy proceeding (the Remaining Assets). In addition, the Company escrowed
$2,550,000, which amount included the $400,000 deposit previously paid by the Company. On July
11, 2008, $2,050,000 was released to TVT Records in consideration of the Assets.
The unreleased amount of $500,000 will remain in escrow until the United States Bankruptcy
Court of the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court) issues a final, non-appealable
order or series of orders (the Order) regarding the assignment and assumption of the Remaining
Assets, which consist of certain executory contracts, the assignment of which are subject to
objections in TVT Records bankruptcy proceeding. As individual objections are resolved, the
Bankruptcy Court may issue an Order approving the assignment and assumption of the related
executory contract by the Company. If the Order or series of Orders issued by the Bankruptcy Court
excludes any material contracts from being assigned to the Company, then the Company and TVT
Records will negotiate, in good faith, a reduction in the purchase price of up to $500,000.
To
date, the Bankruptcy Court has issued a number of Orders which have approved the acquisition of
certain executory contracts that were the subject of objections in the Bankruptcy Court.
However, other executory contracts are still subject to objections.
The Company anticipates that it will cure most, if not all, of the
remaining objections filed in the bankruptcy proceeding and will not
receive a purchase price reduction. However, there can be no assurances
that any or all of the remaining executory contracts will be obtained
by the Company.
In
addition to the purchase price, the Company agreed to pay up to
$1,025,000 to cure certain monetary defaults relating to the
Assets. $0.4 million of the purchase price was
paid in the second quarter. The remainder of the purchase price and the cure amounts are being
funded from the Companys cash and cash equivalents.
The
Company will account for this purchase as a business combination as
prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141
Business Combinations. The Assets will be recorded at
their fair value as determined by an independent valuation company.

Business Overview
Background and Basis of Presentation
On November 13, 2007, The Orchard Enterprises, Inc. (formerly known as Digital Music Group,
Inc. or DMGI) consummated a business combination with Orchard Enterprises NY, Inc. (formerly
known as The Orchard Enterprises Inc., which we refer to as Orchard NY) through a merger of a
subsidiary of DMGI with and into Orchard NY pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and
Restated Merger Agreement dated October 5, 2007, as amended on November 7, 2007 (the Merger).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Orchard
NY was cancelled and the former stockholders of Orchard NY received an aggregate of 2,862,910
shares of DMGI common stock (after giving effect to a one for three reverse stock split of DMGIs
common stock that took effect on November 14, 2007) and 446,918 shares of DMGI Series A
convertible preferred stock (the DMGI Series A Preferred Stock). In addition, DMGI assumed the
obligations of Orchard NY under its outstanding deferred common and preferred stock awards and
reserved 157,683 shares of DMGI common stock (on a post-split basis) and 1,915 shares of DMGI
Series A Preferred Stock for issuance pursuant to such awards. In connection with the Merger,
Orchard NY became our wholly-owned subsidiary, with the former stockholders of Orchard NY
collectively owning shares of our common and preferred stock representing approximately 60% of the
voting power of our outstanding capital stock. The Orchard Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries
are referred to collectively as we, us, and the Company. See Note 4 to our condensed
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report for further details
on the Merger.
For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a reverse acquisition with Orchard NY
being the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial results prior to the Merger
are those of Orchard NY and its consolidated subsidiaries and replace the historical financial
results of DMGI as it existed prior to the Merger. The results of operations for DMGI and its
pre-Merger consolidated subsidiaries are included in our consolidated financial results beginning
on November 13, 2007. The presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders
Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock reflects the effect of the issuance of shares of DMGI common
stock and DMGI Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger and the inclusion of DMGIs
outstanding shares of common stock at the time of the Merger.
Orchard NY was incorporated in New York in September 2000. On April 28, 2003, Dimensional
Associates, LLC, or Dimensional, an entity formed by a group of private investors, invested in and
acquired operating control of Orchard NY through the purchase of a convertible debt instrument
followed by subsequent periodic funding events under similar conditions as the original
convertible debt instrument. These debt instruments were redeemed or converted prior to completion
of the Merger and are described below in Liquidity and Capital Resources Description of
Indebtedness.
Business
We are a global leader in digital media services, currently controlling and distributing more
than 1,100,000 music and other audio recordings, or tracks, and over 3,000 hours of video
programming through hundreds of digital stores ( e.g. , iTunes, eMusic, Google, Netflix, V CAST)
and mobile carriers ( e.g. , Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Bell Canada, Moderati, 3) worldwide. We
generate income for our label, retailer, brand and agency clients by making these music and audio
recordings and videos available for purchase at the online stores and through innovative marketing
and promotional campaigns; branded entertainment programs; and film, advertising, gaming and television
licensing, among other services.
Significant Customers
Since inception through June 30, 2008, our revenue has been derived primarily from the
distribution of digital music content. Two customers, Apple iTunes, or iTunes, and eMusic.com, or
eMusic (which is controlled by our majority shareholder), account for a significant portion of our
total revenues and related
accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, iTunes represented 57%
and 53% of total revenues and eMusic represented 9% and 11% of total revenues, respectively.
Accounts receivable
18
from iTunes were 31% and 34% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. Accounts receivable from eMusic were 12% and 14% of total accounts receivable at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Sources of Revenues
Our revenues are derived from the following sources:
|
|
|
Permanent downloads. In aggregate terms, our permanent download revenue is driven by the
number of music recordings we have available for downloading at digital music retailers,
multiplied by the average number of times our music recordings are downloaded, multiplied by
the fee paid to us by each retailer. The download rates for our music recordings are driven
primarily by the overall size and growth of the digital music market, the popularity and
demand for the recordings we make available, the number and nature of the digital music
services through which we make the recordings available to consumers, and our territorial
distribution rights. We negotiate the fee we receive per download in advance at the time we
enter into an agreement with a digital music retailer. |
|
|
|
|
Subscription download services on the Internet. We also generate revenues from services
that offer consumers the ability to download up to a certain number of recordings each month
for a fixed subscription fee. In such models, we typically receive a percentage of the total
revenue pool generated by the service, after contractually specified costs and deductions,
based on our share of total downloads in the service during the billing period. |
|
|
|
|
Subscription streaming fees. Some digital music retailers distribute our music recordings
via streaming on a subscription basis. Our subscription revenue is a percentage of each
retailers total subscription revenue (after contractually specified costs and deductions)
based on the number of times our music recordings are listened to by subscribers as compared
to the total for all music recordings listened to during the relevant time period, although
the exact formulations by which our revenue is derived varies between services. Following the
termination of their subscription, consumers are not able to play our music recordings. |
|
|
|
|
Mobile services. Our revenue from mobile services is derived primarily from downloads of
full-length music recordings and mastertones. Most mobile services generally make available to
consumers a limited selection of ringtones due to the limited space on mobile handset screens
and higher per track processing costs related to the many formats that are required for
various mobile handset makes and models, although this is changing. |
|
|
|
|
Other. Our other revenue is comprised mainly from licensing fees also referred to as music
services, administrative and consulting fees and other sources such as technology-related
servicing fees charged to certain digital music retailers and other non-retail clients. |
Combined revenue from digital downloads and subscription fees comprised
approximately 79% and 78% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively. Approximately 11% and 8% of our total revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, was derived from mobile services.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues primarily consists of:
|
|
|
revenue sharing payments and recoupment of cash advances to artists, record labels and
other content owners; |
|
|
|
|
royalties to artists and publishers; |
|
|
|
|
amortization of costs to acquire master recordings, digital rights and digital distribution |
19
|
|
|
agreements; |
|
|
|
|
reserves or write-downs of master recordings, capitalized digital rights, digital
distribution agreements or royalty advances that may be deemed necessary from time to time;
and |
|
|
|
|
other direct costs of revenues. |
Our cost of revenues and corresponding gross profit is determined by the revenues earned on
our available music and audio content. In our digital distribution agreements with content owners,
which usually have terms of two to five years, we typically have an exclusive right to collect
revenue directly from the digital entertainment services. We then pay a negotiated revenue sharing
percentage to the content owner.
In certain instances, with respect to higher profile labels and/or as an inducement to enter
into a longer-term license agreement, we may make a royalty advance against the content owners
share of future royalties. We capitalize all such advances as a prepaid asset that we amortize as
a cost of revenue as the related revenue is earned and the cash advances are recouped. We also
include in cost of revenues the fees and direct costs incurred in obtaining content. For long-term
distribution agreements, we amortize the legal fees and other direct costs incurred in acquiring
the agreement on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the related agreement or
ten years. When we acquire digital rights or master recordings, we capitalize the purchase price
and the direct ancillary costs and amortize the acquisition costs on a straight-line basis over
ten years.
While we are typically not responsible for any third party royalties (such as artists and
publishers) in our agreements with content owners, for music content that we own and for content
distributed under most of our long-term distribution agreements, we are typically responsible for
some or all third-party royalties (such as artists and publishers), the cost of which is included
in cost of revenues. Artist royalty obligations for music and audio recordings have historically
been between 0% and 15% of the revenue attributable to a specific track or album. The publisher
royalties for music and audio recordings are a statutory rate in the United States, which was
$.091 for recordings 5 minutes or less, or $.0175 per minute or fraction thereof per copy for
songs over 5 minutes in 2007 and 2008.
In connection with the allocation of the purchase price to the assets we were deemed to have
acquired from DMGI for accounting purposes, we established an asset called Digital Distribution
Agreements, which is a component of Music and Audio Content, to reflect the estimated fair
market value of DMGIs license agreements at the Merger date. We are amortizing this asset to cost
of revenues over the term of the related agreements.
We include in cost of revenues depreciation and amortization associated with equipment and
computer software that we use to digitally encode music files. Historically, when we have utilized
third parties to digitally encode music files into the specific formats required by digital
entertainment services, we also included these costs in cost of revenues. We also charge any other
third party costs directly associated with earning other revenue to cost of revenues.
Operating expenses include all costs associated with general and administrative expenses,
sales and marketing and product development in order to operate the business.
Seasonality
We are not able to identify definitively seasonality in our business because of the
early-stage nature of the entire digital distribution industry and our limited operating history.
However, we suspect that the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year may have seasonally
higher sales, because this is the peak time for sales of music recordings in physical format
(generally ascribed to increased consumer spending due to the holidays).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions are those that may be material due to the
levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the
susceptibility of such matters to change, and that have a material impact on financial condition or
operating performance. We base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various factors
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting
policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements require significant
judgments and estimates. For additional information relating to these and other accounting
policies, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this
quarterly report. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31,
2007.
Revenue Recognition and Assessing the Collectability of Accounts Receivable
We follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements (SAB 104), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements
with Multiple Deliverables and EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent. In general, we recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the
fee is fixed or determinable, the product or services have been delivered and collectability of the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Our distribution revenue from the sale of music recordings through digital distribution
channels is recognized when the products are sold by the digital service providers, which provide
us with periodic notification of the sales.
For arrangements with multiple obligations ( e.g. , deliverable and undelivered music content,
music publishing information and other services), we allocate revenues to each component of the
contract based on objective evidence of its fair value. We recognize revenues allocated to
undelivered products when the criteria for product revenues set forth above are met. If objective
and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered obligations is not available, the
arrangement consideration allocable to a delivered item is combined with the amount allocable to
the undelivered item(s) within the arrangement. Revenues are recognized as the remaining
obligations are fulfilled. Revenues from multiple element arrangements were not significant during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
In accordance with industry practice and as is customary in many territories, certain physical
products (such as CDs and cassettes) are sold to customers with the right to return unsold items.
We recognize net distribution revenues from such physical sales when reported to us by the retail
distributor for the products that are shipped based on gross sales typically less a provision for
future estimated returns determined by distributor based on historical trends. During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, revenues from physical sales were not significant.
We recognize reimbursements received from our customers for encoding our music content in the
appropriate digital format for use by the customer under the proportional performance method as
revenue in the period that the encoded content is delivered to the customer. We record cash
received in advance of providing the service as deferred revenue.
We record the costs associated with shipping physical products as cost of revenues. Shipping
and handling charges billed to customers are included in revenues. The physical products are the
property of the recording labels and artists. Revenues and cost from shipping and handling were not
significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
21
Because we receive payment at approximately the same time as we receive the detailed revenue
reports, our accounts receivable therefore generally consists of approximately one months revenue
for digital entertainment services that report on a monthly basis and one quarters revenue for
digital entertainment services that report on a quarterly basis. In making estimates regarding the
collectability of our accounts receivable, our management considers the credit profile of our
retailers, current economic trends, contractual terms and conditions, historic payment experience
and known or expected events that may impact the retailers ability to pay its obligations.
Historically, we have incurred minimal losses for bad debts, although this may not be the case in
the future. We maintained a bad debt allowance of $530,000 at June 30, 2008 and $427,000 at
December 31, 2007.
Recoverability of Royalty Advances
We pay advance royalties to certain record labels and artists and account for these advance
royalty payments pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 50, Financial Reporting in the Record and Music Industry (SFAS 50). Pursuant to SFAS 50,
certain advance royalty payments that are believed to be recoverable from future royalties to be
earned by the content owner or its distributor are capitalized as assets. The decision to
capitalize an advance to a content owner or its distributor as an asset requires significant
judgment as to the recoverability of these advances. We assess the recoverability of these assets
upon initial commitment of the advance based upon our forecast of anticipated revenues from the
sale of future and existing music and publishing-related products. In determining whether these
amounts are recoverable, we evaluate the current and past popularity of the artist or songwriter,
the initial or expected commercial acceptability of the product, the current and past popularity of
the genre of music that the product is designed to appeal to, and other relevant factors. Based
upon this information, the portion of such advances that is believed not to be recoverable is
expensed. All advances are assessed for recoverability periodically and, at minimum, on a
quarterly basis.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes result primarily from temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Future
tax benefits are subject to a valuation allowance when management is unable to conclude that our
deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized from the results of operations. At each
of the financial statement dates presented, we recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred
income taxes due to our limited operating history and net losses recorded since inception. Our
estimate for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires management to make
significant estimates and judgments about projected future operating results. If actual results
differ from these projections or if managements expectations of future results change, it may be
necessary to adjust the valuation allowance.
We have generated losses for federal and state income tax reporting since inception. These tax
losses are available for carryforward until their expiration. In addition to potential expiration,
there are other factors that could limit our ability to use our federal and state tax loss
carryforwards. For example, use of prior net operating loss carryforwards can be limited after an
ownership change, such as the Merger. Accordingly, it is not certain how much of our existing net
operating loss carryforwards will be available for use. In addition, we must generate taxable
income in the future in order to use net operating loss carryforwards that have not expired.
Effective January 1, 2007, we began to measure and record uncertain tax positions in
accordance with FIN 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) an Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions
meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or
continue to be recognized upon adoption of this Interpretation. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
accounting for derecognition, interest and penalties, and classification and disclosure of matters
related to uncertainty in income taxes. Accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions under
FIN 48 involves significant judgments by management.
22
Share-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense, under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) Share-Based
Payment. As a result, we recognize compensation expense for share-based awards, such as stock
options and restricted stock granted to employees and non-employees based upon the grant date fair
value of the award over the requisite service period. This estimation of the fair value of each
share-based grant or issuance on the date of grant involves numerous assumptions by management.
Although we calculate the compensatory element under the Trinomial Lattice Model, which is a
standard option pricing model, this model still requires the use of numerous assumptions.
Assumptions used in this model include, among others, the expected life (turnover), a risk-free
interest rate, dividend yield, and assumptions as to volatility of the underlying equity security.
The model and assumptions also attempt to account for changing employee behavior as the stock price
changes and capture the observed pattern of increasing rates of exercise as the stock price
increases. We based our assumption of the expected volatility of our stock using the comparable
industry data because sufficient historical trading data does not yet exist for our stock. The use
of different peer group companies and other assumptions by management in the Trinomial Lattice
Model could produce substantially different results.
Goodwill
Our goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the
net tangible and intangible assets of DMGI as a result of the Merger. We will review goodwill for
impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying value may
not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . The
provisions of SFAS 142 require that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the
first step, we will compare the fair value to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the
carrying value, goodwill will not be considered impaired and we will not be required to perform
further testing. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then we must perform the second step
of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying
value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to
the difference. Determining the implied fair value involves the use of significant estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins
used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and
market conditions and determination of appropriate market comparables. We base our fair value
estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently
uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
We test our intangible assets (other than goodwill) for impairment annually, and more
frequently if there are indications of a loss in value. The most significant intangible assets that
we test for impairment are those resulting from the Merger. We test for impairment on the basis of
the same objective criteria that were used for the initial valuation. Our initial valuation and
ongoing tests are based on the relationship of the value of our projected future cash flows
associated with the asset to either the purchase price of the asset (for its initial valuation) or
the carrying amount of the asset (for ongoing tests). The determination of the underlying
assumptions related to the recoverability of intangible assets is subjective and requires the
exercise of considerable judgment by our management. Any changes in key assumptions about our
business and prospects, or changes in market conditions, could result in an impairment charge.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands required
disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for our company
beginning January 1, 2008, except with respect to our non-financial assets for which the effective
date is January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 157 with respect to our financial assets and
liabilities did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
23
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the
fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for our company
as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on
our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business
combination: (i) recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed,
and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill
acquired in a business combination or gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what
information to disclose to enable financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is applicable prospectively to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. After its effective date, SFAS No. 141R would have an
impact on the accounting for any business we may acquire in the future.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of SFAS 160 is
prohibited. After its effective date, SFAS 160 would have an impact on the presentation and
disclosure of the non-controlling interests of any non-wholly-owned businesses we may acquire in
the future.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS 161), as an amendment to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why a
company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS 133 and how they affect an entitys financial performance. SFAS 161 is
effective for our company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009.
Management has determined at this time that this pronouncement does
not apply to any of its transactions.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets (FSP SFAS 142-3). FSP SFAS 142-3 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 FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
The objective of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of the asset under SFAS 141R, Business Combinations, and other U.S. GAAP principles. FSP
SFAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP
SFAS 142-3 is effective January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
For additional information relating to these and other recent accounting pronouncements, see
Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly
report.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the audit for the year ended December 31, 2007, our independent auditors
identified significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting regarding our
lack of formalized written policies and procedures in the financial accounting area, our lack of
appropriate resources to both manage the financial close process on a timely basis and handle the
accounting for complex equity and other transactions, our lack of sophisticated financial reporting
systems to allow the reporting of financial information on a timely basis, which is due in part to
the small size of our company prior to the Merger, and our lack of a formalized disaster recovery
plan in the information technology area. These significant deficiencies together constitute a
material weakness in our internal controls over financial
24
reporting. These significant deficiencies, along with the actions taken to remedy the
significant deficiencies, are described in Item 4T Controls and Procedures, appearing elsewhere
in this quarterly report.
Factors Affecting Future Results
We have incurred losses since inception and our ability to achieve profitability in the near
term is primarily dependent on increasing revenue while controlling and limiting expenses. Some of
the current industry conditions and factors that we expect could have a significant impact on our
future results are discussed below:
Factors impacting revenue and download rates for music content. Achieving profitable growth
will require continued growth in the overall market for digital retail sales of music, video and
other forms of media, and our ability to maintain a competitive suite of digital distribution and
service offerings that will be attractive to independent record labels and other owners of digital
media content. We expect continued competition from entrenched music distribution companies moving
more aggressively into the digital sector ( e.g. , the distribution companies owned by the four
major music companies), other independent distributors, and new entrants to the market. We believe
that our revenue and download rates for music content might be affected by a number of
macrofactors, including:
|
|
|
Overall growth of the legitimate retail consumer market for digital
music, in the context of a still robust so called peer-to-peer (P2P)
pirate market; |
|
|
|
|
Amount of additional digital music and video recordings that are made
available to consumers from all sources and the impact on average
sales that results from having an increasing amount of music and video
content available within the retail channels; |
|
|
|
|
The speed and efficacy with which new digital entertainment services
either through traditional a la carte downloads or subscription
models, or new forms of music retail such as advertising-based or P2P
models enter and grow the market; and |
|
|
|
|
The speed and efficacy with which digital music retailers invest, on
the one hand, in product enhancements that allow them to more
dynamically serve music to targeted subgroups ( e.g. , ethnic
nationals living abroad) and, on the other hand, particularly with
respect to mobile operators, integrate their sophisticated marketing
segmentation and direct marketing capabilities more closely with
demographically-based music marketing. |
Gross profit. Our gross profit is directly affected by our ability to negotiate
favorable digital distribution agreements with record labels and other content owners.
The current and future marketplace will continue to evolve and shape our ability to enter
into new distribution agreements with content owners seeking to access the digital
marketplace and renew existing agreements as they begin to expire. As more competitors
enter this market and seek to sign similar agreements with content owners, this could
adversely impact our gross profit.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses include all costs associated with
general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing and product development in order
to operate the business. These expenses increased in each of the past three years as we
added additional personnel dedicated to expanding our operations and broadening our
product and service offerings.
Business development. We plan to continue to build our core music and video
businesses by building on our established digital distribution relationships and by
adding additional record labels and content owners, showcasing top-tier global artists,
and expanding our marketing capabilities. We also plan to continue to develop our broad
services platform, including:
|
|
|
Marketing and technology programs to service brands, consumer packaged goods
companies and other businesses integrating music with their marketing objectives; |
25
|
|
|
Placement of master recordings for synchronization use in advertising, film and
television programs; |
|
|
|
|
Mechanical licensing and administration of music publishing for digital sales in
the United States; |
|
|
|
|
Collection of sound performance recording royalties globally, among other offerings. |

Includes subscription download and streaming services on the Internet,
including revenues from eMusic (which is controlled by our majority
stockholder) of $1,075,088 and $642,973 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2007
Revenues. Revenues increased to approximately $13.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2008 from approximately $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Revenues from
digital distribution (including permanent downloads and subscription services) increased to
approximately $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately
$4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of the increase in
paid downloads, as well as the increase in the number of recordings available for download as a
result of the combined operations following the Merger. The increase in paid downloads resulted
primarily from a significant increase in the average number of available tracks for sale, which
increase resulted from organic growth and the effects of the
26
Merger. The increase in paid downloads is also in part due to a more efficient distribution
process, which resulted in part from launch of our proprietary V.E.C.T.O.R.TM system in
2007. Revenue from mobile distribution increased to approximately $1.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as a
result of adding additional mobile stores, increased available content for our mobile channel
partners and overall favorable industry trends, as well as the impact of the Merger. Other revenue
from licensing and music services (including placement of master recordings for use in film,
television and commercials), physical sales, and other sources such as fees charged to non-retail
clients and service fees charged to digital music retailers, increased to approximately
$1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $1.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2007.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased to approximately $9.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007. Royalty expense from digital distribution (including permanent downloads and subscription
services) and mobile services paid to artists, labels and other content owners increased to
approximately $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $4.1 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2007, which increase is primarily related to the increase in
overall revenues, which includes the impact of the Merger. During the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, our royalties paid to artists, labels and other content owners from digital
distribution (including permanent downloads and subscription services) and mobile services amounted
to approximately 71% and 64% of revenues, respectively. Other costs of revenues remained flat at
approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. Gross profit margin decreased to 26.4% of revenues for the three months ended June
30, 2008 from 31.4% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007, predominately because of
the higher percentage of total revenue earned in the three months ended June 2007 from higher
profit margin areas such as fees charged to non-retail clients and service fees charged to digital
music retailers.
Operating expenses. The following table sets forth the individual components of our
operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Operating expenses increased to approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2008, from approximately $2.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007. Personnel-related expenses increased due to selected increases in staffing in order to provide
operational, technology and artist and label client services as we continue to
grow and also, staff investments in new business areas such as brand entertainment which we do
not expect to become material revenue sources until later in 2009 but view strategically as
critical and margin-accretive growth areas; as well as corresponding travel and office expenses.
In addition to costs associated with salary and benefits, we also incurred share-based
compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2008 that was not applicable for the three months
ended June 30, 2007. Professional fees increased in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared
to 2007 as a result of costs associated with being a public company including accounting and
legal expenses and directors fees, which costs and fees were not applicable for the three months
ended June 30, 2007. Other operating expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2008
compared to 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in reserve for bad debts.
27
Other
income and expense. For the three months ended June 30,
2008, we had other income of approximately $0.1 million of interest
income on cash included in the DMGI assets acquired as a result of
the Merger. We had no other income for the same period in 2007. We had no
interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared with approximately
$0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 attributable to interest payable to
Dimensional (our majority stockholder) on outstanding convertible debt, which
has since been converted.

Includes subscription download and streaming services on the Internet,
including revenues from eMusic (which is controlled by our majority
stockholder) of $2,350,188 and $1,316,823 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2007
Revenues. Revenues increased to approximately $26.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008 from approximately $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Revenues from
digital distribution (including permanent downloads and subscription services) increased to
approximately $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $9.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of the increase in paid downloads, as
well as the increase in the number of recordings available for download as a result of the combined
operations following the Merger. The increase in paid downloads resulted primarily from a
significant increase in the average number of available tracks for sale, which increase resulted
from organic growth and the effects of the Merger. The increase in paid downloads is also in part
due to a more efficient distribution process, which resulted in part from launch of our proprietary
V.E.C.T.O.R.TM system in 2007. Revenue from mobile distribution increased
28
to approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $1.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as a result of adding additional mobile stores,
increased available content for our mobile channel partners and overall favorable industry trends,
as well as the impact of the Merger. Other revenue from licensing and music services (including
placement of master recordings for use in film, television and commercials), physical sales, and
other sources such as fees charged to non-retail clients and service fees charged to digital music
retailers, increased to approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from
approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily due
to a one-time bonus from one of our retail partners received in recognition of our assistance in
the success of its business and, to a lesser extent, organic growth and the effects of the Merger.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased to approximately $19.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Royalty expense from digital distribution (including permanent downloads and subscription services)
and mobile services paid to artists, labels and other content owners increased to approximately
$18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $7.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007, which increase is primarily related to the increase in overall
revenues, which includes the impact of the Merger. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, our royalties paid to artists, labels and other content owners from digital distribution
(including permanent downloads and subscription services) and mobile services amounted to
approximately 70% and 66% of revenues, respectively. Other costs of revenues increased to
approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.7 million the six months
ended June 30, 2007. Gross profit margin decreased to 26.7% of revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 from 28.1% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007, predominantly because
of the higher percentage of total revenue earned in the six months of 2007 from higher profit
margin areas such as fees charged to non-retail clients and service fees charged to digital music
retailers.
Operating expenses. The following table sets forth the individual components of our
operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Operating expenses increased to approximately $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008, from approximately $5.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. Personnel-related expenses increased due to
selected increases in staffing in order to provide operational,
technology and artist and label client services as we
continue to grow and also, staff investments in new business areas
such as brand entertainment which we do not expect to become material
revenue sources until later in 2009 but view strategically as
critical and margin-accretive growth areas; as well as corresponding
travel and office expenses. In addition to costs associated with salary and benefits, we also
incurred share-based compensation in the six months ended June 30, 2008 that were not applicable
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Professional fees increased in the six months ended June
30, 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of costs associated with being a public company including
accounting and legal expenses and directors fees, which costs and fees were not applicable for
the six months ended June 30, 2007. Other operating expenses increased for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in reserve for bad debts.
Other
income and expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had other income of approximately $0.1 million of interest
income on cash included in the DMGI assets acquired as a result of
the Merger. We had no other income for the same period in 2007. We had no
interest expense for
29
the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with approximately $0.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 attributable to interest payable to Dimensional (our majority
stockholder) on outstanding convertible debt, which has since been converted.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred net losses of approximately $1.9 million and $2.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Prior to the Merger, we received cash
advances in the form of convertible debt (later converted to equity) from Dimensional to fund
losses and operate the business. However, subsequent to the Merger, no such cash advances have
been received from Dimensional, nor are any expected to be made in the future. At June 30, 2008,
we had approximately $10.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
As discussed in Note 11 to the Companys condensed
consolidated financial statements, subsequent to June 30, 2008,
we acquired substantially all of the assets of TeeVee Toons, Inc.
and/or its affiliates (TVT Records) record label business. While this
decreased our cash position, management believes cash
balances on-hand will be sufficient to fund our net cash commitments and requirements over the
next 12 months. However, should additional resources be required, management may seek to raise
funds through the issuance of debt or equity securities.
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately
$0.8 million. The reconciliation of net loss of approximately $1.9 million to net cash provided
by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included non-cash charges for depreciation
and amortization of approximately $0.6 million, bad debt expense of approximately $0.1 million
and share-based compensation of approximately $0.4 million. As a result of our increase in
revenues, our corresponding accounts receivable increased by approximately $2.0 million whereas
our royalty payable increased by $2.2 million for the period ended June 30, 2008. Similarly,
deferred revenue increased $0.5 million. Additionally, as a result of our content acquisition
strategy, we utilized approximately $1.0 million net cash for royalty advances to secure
additional music and audio content rights.
Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately
$2.3 million. The reconciliation of net loss of approximately $2.2 million to net cash used in
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization of approximately $0.1 million, and accrued interest payable to a related party of
approximately $0.4 million. These non-cash charges were further offset by reduced working capital
requirements of approximately $0.6 million, primarily because royalties payable increased at a
faster rate than accounts receivable as our business continued to expand in 2007.
Our investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately $1.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of professional fees and other expenditures that
increased goodwill associated with the Merger of $0.5 million,
expenditures to purchase property and equipment of $0.1 million
and our preliminary deposit incurred in the acquisition of certain TVT
assets of $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, investing activities resulted in a net cash
outflow of approximately $0.4 million to purchase property and equipment. The property and
equipment additions for both the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were primarily due to
the increase in headcount as our business continued to grow and for designing, developing and
implementing our V.E.C.T.O.R direct digital delivery system, which we launched in 2007.
Cash provided from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was
$0 and approximately $4.1 million, respectively. In 2007, such amount reflects the proceeds from
the issuance of additional convertible debt to Dimensional for cash advances received during the
first six months of 2007.
As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.4 million and
working capital of approximately $5.4 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $10.6 million and working capital of approximately $7.1 million at December 31,
2007. In 2008, we expect to utilize cash and cash equivalents to fund operations, acquire
additional digital rights to music catalogs and make additions to
property and equipment. As discussed above, subsequent to
June 30, 2008, we acquired substantially all of the assets of TVT Records.
30
Description of Indebtedness
As of June 30, 2008, we had no debt. The following discussion relates to debt outstanding in
2007 prior to the Merger.
Convertible Debt Instruments
Since April 2003, Dimensional extended various loans to Orchard NY, which debt was
convertible into that number of shares of Orchard NYs Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or
the Orchard NY Series A Preferred Stock, determined by dividing the principal balance by a
conversion price of $1.00 per share of Orchard NY Series A Preferred Stock (i) at any time, at
Dimensionals sole option or (ii) automatically, upon the closing of a sale of 3,000,000 shares
of Orchard NY Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with Dimensional.
In May 2006, Orchard NY issued 7,931,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
and 7,931,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Dimensional in exchange for
the conversion and cancellation of convertible debt with a principal balance of approximately
$7.9 million (the outstanding convertible debt principal balance at December 31, 2005). Accrued
interest relating to this debt was not cancelled at this time. At December 31, 2006, the
outstanding principal balance of the Dimensional convertible debt was approximately $6.6 million
and the outstanding balance of the accrued interest was approximately $1.2 million (which
includes interest on the approximately $7.9 million debt cancelled in May 2006). Interest expense
on the convertible debt was approximately $0.5 million, for the year ending December 31, 2006.
In 2007 and prior to the Merger, Orchard NY undertook two recapitalizations (a July 2007
recapitalization and a September 2007 recapitalization) whereby Dimensional agreed to convert its
then outstanding convertible debt in exchange for shares of preferred stock of Orchard NY and
forgave accrued interest. These recapitalizations are described in Note 9 to our consolidated
financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In November 2007, we amended the
September 2007 recapitalization to recharacterize $600,000 of funding as a loan payable instead
of a capital contribution. We repaid this $600,000 loan in November 2007.
On November 13, 2007, in conjunction with the Merger, all outstanding shares of Orchard NYs
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock and common stock were cancelled and the former Orchard NY stockholders received
448,833 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 3,021,202 shares of our common stock,
including 1,915 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 157,683 shares of our common stock
that are subject to deferred stock awards assumed in connection with the Merger.
At June 30, 2008, we had 448,833 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Our
Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to any dividend or any interest. Each share is
convertible into 3.3 shares of our common stock at any time at the sole discretion of the
preferred shareholders. The shares are redeemable for $55.70 per share (equivalent to $16.72 per
common share) at the sole discretion of our board of directors after November 13, 2012 and only
if our common stock is trading above $30.00 per share for more than thirty days in a row.
As of June 30, 2008, we had no outstanding convertible debt owed to Dimensional.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Related Party Transactions
Dimensional is the controlling stockholder of The Orchard Enterprises, Inc., owning
approximately 54% of our voting common stock on a fully diluted basis as of June 30, 2008.
Dimensional is also the controlling stockholder of eMusic, which provides digital music
distribution services to us under a Digital Music Wholesale Agreement, dated January 1, 2004, as
amended on March 12, 2007. This agreement grants eMusic worldwide rights, on a non-exclusive
basis, to exploit our master recordings digitally and
31
via the Internet through December 31, 2009. Pursuant to the agreement, we are entitled to
better royalty terms if eMusic allows any other independent record label such better terms during
the term of the agreement (a Most Favored Nation clause). Amounts included in revenues in
connection with these services were $1,075,088 and $642,972 for the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Amounts included in accounts receivable in connection with these
services were $1,108,598 and $1,075,602 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We
also have distribution agreements with certain labels whereby we have agreed to forego
distribution fees to the label or artist for sales by eMusic. For the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, we received revenues of $451,154 and $380,699, respectively, from eMusic relating
to such agreements. We recorded these amounts in revenues with an equal amount recorded in cost
of revenues.
For information relating to other related party transactions, see Note 9 to our condensed
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report.

In evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management
evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Due to the existence of a material weakness described below,
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose
in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Notwithstanding the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer believe that the consolidated financial statements and other information
contained in this annual report present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In connection with the audit of our 2007 consolidated financial statements, our independent
auditors identified certain significant deficiencies that together constitute a material weakness
in our internal control over financial reporting. These significant deficiencies primarily relate
to our lack of formalized written policies and procedures in the financial accounting area, our
lack of appropriate resources to both manage the financial close process on a timely basis and
handle the accounting for complex equity and other transactions, our lack of sophisticated
financial reporting systems to allow the reporting of financial information on a timely basis,
which is due in part to the small size of our company prior to the Merger, and our lack of a
formalized disaster recovery plan in the information technology area. These significant
deficiencies together constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting.
The
Company has taken several steps in remediating these significant
deficiencies throughout the year as shown below. In addition, we are initiating
the remediation steps outlined below to address the identified significant deficiencies that
together constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Because
these remediation steps have not yet been completed, we have performed additional analyses and
other post-closing procedures to ensure that our condensed, consolidated financial statements
contained in this quarterly report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applicable SEC
regulations. Our planned remediation steps include:
32
|
|
|
Lack of Formal Policies and Procedures/Lack of Resources to Manage
Financial Close. During the first and second quarter of 2008, we have
added personnel and solidified the senior leadership of our financial
department. In addition, we have engaged a consultant with public
company reporting experience to assist in formalizing our policies and
procedures and have implemented certain formal procedures and controls
in our financial close process. We continue to search for an
Assistant Controller with the necessary
experience to support the financial reporting process. We also allocate additional internal
employees as needed; |
|
|
|
|
Lack of Sophisticated Financial Reporting Systems. We are in the
process of implementing Great Plains general ledger and financial
reporting system and we are on schedule in the project implementation.
The objective of the new system is to strengthen the process of
preparation, approval, and recording of journal entries and accruals
and allow reporting of financial information on a timely basis. We
expect to implement the system by the end of the third quarter of
2008. |
|
|
|
|
Lack of Formalized Disaster Recovery Plan. We are in the process of
formalizing our disaster recovery policies and procedures, including
the provision of off-site data back up and restoration. We are
developing a project plan for the implementation of a formal Disaster
Recovery Plan to present to our Board of Directors; |
|
|
|
|
Managements Ability to Complete Assessment of Internal Controls over
Financial Reporting. We engaged a qualified consultant to assist in
the completion of managements assessment of the effectiveness of its
internal controls over financial reporting. We are formalizing our
controls over key processes identified by the Company and the
consultant is assisting us in remediating and implementing appropriate
internal controls on weaknesses identified and will perform testing to
ensure the effectiveness of those controls |
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2008 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 legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of our
business.
On March 11, 2008, we initiated suit in federal court in the Eastern District of California
against TufAmerica, Inc. The complaint alleges fraud, breach of contract and various other wrongs
in connection with a contract dispute with TufAmerica, Inc. concerning the number, nature and
technical quality of master recordings the label was required to deliver to our company under the
contract. We requested various forms of relief from the court, including the return of
approximately $2.4 million in fees and advances already paid under the contract. On April 23,
2008, TufAmerica answered our complaint denying the causes of action asserted against it and
asserting its own counter claims against us for breach of contract. Although the claim did not
specify an exact amount of damages sought, during the course of the dispute TufAmerica, Inc. had
sent a letter to us claiming damages in the amount of approximately $1.2 million. The discovery
process has begun but, because the litigation is in its early stages, we are unable to determine
if the outcome of this case will be favorable to us. While we believe we have meritorious claims
and defenses and intend to pursue them vigorously, litigation is inherently uncertain and we can
provide no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the matter.
On December 15, 2006, MCS Music America, Inc., on behalf of itself and other publishers,
brought an action for copyright infringement against Napster, Inc., one of the Companys digital
music stores. MCS alleged that compositions included in 338 sound recordings made available to
Napster as part of its subscription service and freenapster infringed on copyrights owned by MCS.
16 of the 338 sound recordings were licensed to Napster by the Company pursuant to the Content
Agreement dated August 26, 2004. On July 10, 2008, MCS and Napster settled the claim.
Under the terms of the Content Agreement, the Company indemnified Napster for damages,
including legal fees, incurred by Napster for any copyright infringement related to the content
being licensed from the Company. In connection with the settlement, the Company is liable for
approximately $60,000 in settlement of the claim. In addition, the Company is responsible to
reimburse Napster for its pro rata share of Napsters legal expenses the amount of which is not
currently known.
To our knowledge, there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings that could have
a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
