Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

We were up against some difficult comparisons with last year when we launched Gardening Mama, and our first Jillian Michaels' title was selling very well. Our costs are under control and we continue to adjust our business model to meet industry challenges. We remain excited about our upcoming titles scheduled to release during the balance of the year. Our management team is striving for improved profitability and is totally committed to building long-term value for our shareholders."

Announced Product Line-up

Third Quarter 2010 Ending July 31, 2010

To date, the Company has announced the following titles that were or are expected to be released during its third quarter:

  • Tetris Party Deluxe for Wii and Nintendo DS represents a strategic partnership with Tetris Online, Inc. to support the North American launch and distribution of the two newest additions to the Tetris franchise. Tetris Party Deluxe builds on the previously released Tetris Party for WiiWare by adding new modes and features to enrich the overall game play experience for both platforms.
  • Attack of the Movies 3-D is the first-ever 3-D shooter designed exclusively for Wii and Xbox 360®. The game transports players into six fantastic movie-themed worlds and features classic enemies culled from the annals of film history. The game also comes packaged with four pairs of 3-D glasses to support four-player multiplayer action.
  • Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter for Xbox LIVE Arcade continues the glorious high-definition chaos with a slick new graphic presentation, intense multiplayer action, and an onslaught of all-new levels, enemies and bosses from the golden age of first-person shooters.
  • Dance Sensation! for Wii is the only game that lets players train and perform routines in four different styles: Hip-Hop, Jazz, Ballet, and Latin Ballroom. Players use the Wii Remote(TM) and Nunchuk to control their on-screen dancer as she perfects more than 160 real motion-captured dance moves in recitals ranging from local auditoriums to the Broadway stage.
  • Summer Camp Showdown for Wii is a motion-based adventure where players vie for the upper hand in sports and pranks to determine who rules the woods.
  • Pirates PlundArrr for Wii is a fun and frantic beat-'em-up that lets players hunt the high seas for the renegade captain Rudebelly who has unleashed an army of cursed dead and menacing bosses. Would-be pirates will fight through 45 creature-filled levels to retrieve their stolen treasure, and four mates can even plunder together in a party style, battle royale.
  • Super Speed Machines for Nintendo DS lets players kick it into high gear in this frantic arcade racer that delivers super speed and dangerous conditions at every turn.

To date, the Company has announced the following titles that are expected to be released during the rest of fiscal 2010:

Through invigorating, high calorie-burning fitness classes, Zumba Fitness® has helped melt the pounds and inches off seven and a half million Zumba-enthusiasts in more than 75 countries.
  • Crafting Mama for Nintendo DS is the newest brand extension of the Cooking Mama franchise that has sold nearly seven million units. Using the stylus as a universal crafting tool, players will sew, mold, glue, cut and paint under Mama's masterful direction as they create 40 different projects, from patchwork quilts to earrings, candles and vases.
  • Greg Hastings Paintball 2 for Xbox 360®, Wii, and PlayStation®3, is the most realistic paintball experience to date from the most successful name in the sport. The game introduces more than 10 single and multiplayer game modes, each staged in all-new paintball locations based on actual fields around the world. Featuring three new event branches -- Tournament Speedball, Recball, and Tournament Woodsball -- players can build and develop their team of professional ballers and even cheat to stay in the game.
  • Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal for Nintendo DSi turns your handheld into a portal to the astral plane. Coupled with the DSi camera, this detection and communication tool lets you find, summon, capture and interact with ghosts living amongst us. Ultimately you can help them find peace as you develop your own paranormal prowess within an augmented reality that promises to change your perspective forever.
  • Swords for Wii pits players against some of the most formidable adversaries in history using the Wii Remote(TM) with Wii MotionPlus(TM) as their blade for accurate 1-to-1 motion based battles.
  • Dawn of Heroes for Nintendo DS is a tactical role playing game that combines classic RPG concepts -- including character development, epic combat, quests and puzzles -- with a humorous style.
  • Flip's Twisted World for Wii is a unique puzzle platformer that stars Flip, a magician's apprentice who mistakenly gets sucked into an alternate universe where up and down are only a matter of perspective. Players will help Flip navigate his puzzling world by rotating the environment 180 degrees in any direction with a simple twist of the Wii Remote(TM).

Holiday 2010

  • Babysitting Mama for Wii stars the iconic Mama from the best-selling Cooking Mama franchise and features an exciting new play mechanic. This innovative simulation game will be delivered to consumers with an adorable plush baby doll that the babysitter tucks the Wii Remote into in order to interact with the doll and game at the same time in 40 different activities.
  • My Baby 3 & Friends for Nintendo DS is the third installment in the My Baby franchise that has sold nearly 2mm units worldwide. My Baby 3 lets players experience the joy of parenting as they feed, bathe, change and cuddle with their in game baby. What's more, the game also sparks new social development skills via interaction with another baby and puppy.

Fiscal 2010 Outlook

We are confirming our full year guidance for net revenue of approximately $80 million. Our profit guidance is for Non-GAAP EPS of approximately $0.05. The Company's guidance assumes the release of approximately 32 SKUs in 2010, including 12 DS and 14 Wii, 9 titles released in the third quarter and 13 titles released in the fourth quarter. We also expect that roughly 62% of our revenue will come from DS titles; 32% from Wii titles and 6% from all other platforms. The Company's results are also impacted by seasonality from the December holiday period and variability based on release schedules.

    (1)  Represents charges to settle certain litigations pending in the
    United States District Court, District of New Jersey:  (i) a
    securities class action brought on behalf of a purported class of
    purchasers of the Company's securities; (ii) a private securities
    action filed by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd.; and (iii) a second
    action filed by Trinad purportedly on behalf of the Company.  All
    three actions are now concluded.
    (2) Represents the change in the fair value of warrants, classified
    as a liability. The fair value of the warrants is calculated at each
    balance sheet date with a corresponding charge or credit to earnings
    for the amount of the change in fair value.
    (3) Represents expenses recorded for stock compensation expense. The
    Company does not consider stock-based compensation charges when
    evaluating business performance and management does not consider
    stock-based compensation expense in evaluating its short and long-
    term operating plans.
    (4) Represents one time severance costs related to a workforce
    reduction. During January 2010, Company management initiated a plan
    of restructuring to better align its workforce to its revised
    operating plans. As part of the plan, the Company reduced its
    personnel count by 16 employees, representing 17% of its workforce.
    (5)  Represents operating expenses related to our internal
    development studio in California, which were not allocated to
    capitalizable projects.  After evaluation of the studio's
    performance, and changes in the availability and cost of development
    with our third party partners, we now believe that closing the
    studio and taking advantage of these external opportunities
    represents a better value for the Company.
    (6) In December 2009 and November 2008, we received proceeds of
    approximately $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, from the
    sale of the rights to approximately $21.2 million and $25.9 million
    of New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under
    the Technology Business Tax Certificate Program administered by the
    New Jersey Economic Development Authority. Net proceeds have been
    recorded as an income tax benefit during each of the three months
    ended January 31, 2010 and 2009.
