PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

e.Digital Corporation is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. We have innovated a proprietary secure digital video/audio technology platform (“DVAP”) that can be applied to produce complex portable electronic products. In 2003 our DVAP was applied to pioneer a portable in-flight entertainment (“IFE”) device for one customer. In February 2006 we introduced a new and improved DVAP device, the eVU™ mobile entertainment device targeted at the IFE and additional markets. We commenced eVU customer trials in the late 2006 and commercial shipments to customers in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 (quarter ended December 31, 2007).

We believe we are the leading producer of dedicated portable IFE products delivering over 13,000 units since 2003 for airline use. Our latest model, eVU, features sharp images on a 7” or 8” high resolution LCD screen, a 40 GB (Gigabytes) to 200 GB of rugged and reliable storage, high audio fidelity, dual stereo headphone jacks, optional embedded credit card reader/processor, optional touch screen capabilities, a full feature graphical user interface, patent-pending hardware security technology, and 20 hours of high resolution video playback on a single battery charge. We also have the capability to add features and customize the product for target markets or select customers.

We also believe that we have an important portfolio of patents (Flash-R™ patent portfolio) related to the use of flash memory in portable devices and we are actively engaged in a strategy to monetize our patent portfolio. In June 2006 we engaged an intellectual property consultant to investigate, document and develop the portfolio and to liaison with outside legal counsel. In March 2007 we selected and engaged the international legal firm Duane Morris LLP to handle certain patent enforcement matters on a contingent fee basis. We, and our advisors, have performed due diligence on our patents and we believe we have strong intellectual property rights that can be licensed. In October 2007 we announced that our Company had commenced enforcement action with respect to our patent portfolio. In March 2008, we filed a complaint against Avid Technology, Casio America, LG Electronics USA, Nikon, Olympus America, Samsung Electronics America, and Sanyo North America in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting that products made by the companies infringe four of our U.S. patents covering the use of flash memory technology. In September 2007 we filed a similar suit in the same jurisdiction against Vivitar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian. We anticipate bringing additional patent enforcement actions in the current fiscal year.

Our strategy is to market our eVU products and services to a growing base of U.S. and international companies in the airline, healthcare, military, and other travel and leisure industries that desire to market eVU to consumers at their facilities. We employ both direct sales to customers and sales through value added distributors (VARs) that provide marketing, logistic and/or content services to customers. We also intend to aggressively pursue enforcement and licensing of our Flash-R patent portfolio.

Our revenue is derived from the sale and lease of DVAP products and accessories to customers, warranty and technical support services and content fees and related services. We anticipate that we can obtain license revenue in the future from our Flash-R patent portfolio.

Our business and technology is high risk in nature. There can be no assurance we can achieve sufficient eVU revenues to become profitable or produce future revenues from our patent portfolio or from new products or services. We continue to be subject to the risks normally associated with any new business activity, including unforeseeable expenses, delays and complications. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that we can or will report operating profits in the future.

Our Company, then known as Norris Communications, was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia, Canada on February 11, 1988 and on November 22, 1994 changed its domicile to the Yukon Territory, Canada. On August 30, 1996, we filed articles of continuance to change our jurisdiction to the State of Wyoming, then on September 4, 1996, reincorporated in the State of Delaware. On January 13, 1999, the stockholders approved a name change to e.Digital Corporation. Our principal executive offices and primary operating facilities are located at 16770 West Bernardo Drive, San Diego, California 92127 and our telephone number is (858) 304-3016. Our Internet site is located at www.edigital.com. Information contained in our Internet site is not part of this prospectus.

Background on Technical Innovations

We have a record of pioneering technical achievements in developing portable electronic products including products developed under contract for major OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers. These innovations include:

 
·
1990 – Released the first commercial ear telephone with an earpiece that located both the speaker and the microphone in the ear without feedback. (This was the first product in what ultimately became today’s line of Jabra™ hands-free communication products.)

 
·
1993 – Developed the first portable digital player/recorder with removable flash memory. Resulted in five U.S. patents on the use of flash memory in portable devices.

 
·
1996 – Developed the first high-speed download device to store digital voice recordings on a personal computer in compressed format.

 
·
1998 – Developed the first multi-codec (including MP3) portable digital music player.

 
·
1999 – Delivered an integrated digital voice recorder and computer docking station system for medical transcription of voice and data for Lanier Healthcare, LLC.

 
·
2002 – Developed the first voice controlled MP3 player using our VoiceNav™ speech navigation system.

 
·
2002 – Bang & Olufsen introduced a branded digital audio player (BeoSound 2) developed by us pursuant to a license agreement.

 
·
2003 – Designed, developed and delivered wireless MP3 headsets employing our MircoOS operating system to Hewlett-Packard for use at Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida.

 
·
2003 – Licensed our digital audio to a multi-billion dollar Asian OEM for branding to Gateway Computers.

 
·
2003 – Developed the first Hollywood studio-approved portable in-flight entertainment device.

 
·
2006 – Introduced eVU, a next generation dedicated mobile entertainment device with 12+ hours of playback, wireless capability and proprietary content encryption approved by major studios.

 
·
2007 – Introduced eVU-ER, an improved an improved dedicated portable inflight player featuring a new power management technology providing an industry-leading 20+ hours of continuous video playback from a single battery. eVU is now available in either a 7" or 8" high resolution LCD screen with 40 GB to 200 GB of rugged and reliable storage.

These technical achievements and our base of technology allow us to rapidly develop or customize electronic products for our own account or for others.

Digital Video/Audio Technology Platform

We have designed and developed a Digital Video/Audio Technology Platform based on our proprietary MicroOS™ core (see discussion below). Our Digital Video/Audio Platform accommodates various third party video compression encoded material, proprietary security measures and allows for other customizable options. The DVAP supports screen sizes from 2.5” to 10.4” and is capable of achieving better than DVD (digital video disc or digital versatile disc) quality video.

Our proprietary DVAP is flexible and we believe we can address markets beyond IFE with products customized for niche customers for travel and leisure, medical, education, government and military use. We are modifying our DVAP technology to incorporate the latest LCD (liquid crystal display) screen, media storage, video processing, battery and other components to address specific needs of the medical and travel and leisure segments of the market. We also seek to make improvements and component and model changes from time to time to be competitive.

Proprietary DVAP Technology Elements

MicroOS™
Our proprietary MicroOS operating system serves as the software foundation for our DVAP Platform. MicroOS was originally developed by us for use in digital voice recorder technology, but because of its inherent flexibility, has grown and been adapted to support audio and video storage and playback and wireless utilities. MicroOS is compact, efficient and dynamic, responding to a variety of user interfaces. MicroOS manages the volume and equalizer functions, the LCD drivers and interfaces, decodes a wide variety of audio and video files, interacts with a variety of digital rights management schemes and supports today’s most popular media storage formats including hard disk drives, compact and embedded flash and others.

MicroOS efficiently manages multiple functions within a single device, utilizing less power, space and operating capacity than many alternative solutions. The life cycle of consumer electronics products is very short and continues to accelerate. With MicroOS we believe we are able to complete new product design and development projects faster and more economical than competitors. The use of MicroOS shortens the development cycle and the flexibility of MicroOS provides the same lead time benefits to subsequent generations of each MicroOS or DVAP based product.

Content Protection Technology
We have designed and developed a family of proprietary hardware and software encryption, digital rights management (DRM), key management and data obscuration technology for content protection. This technology has been employed in our prior MP3 player products and in our current DVAP products. Our latest product eVU incorporates an implementation of this family of technology and has been tested and approved by major Hollywood movie studios. We currently have a U.S. patent application pending for security technology and a provisional U.S. patent application for our family of security technology.

Wireless Technology
We have experience in developing wireless solutions for business customers and our DVAP has applications for wireless technology. Wireless communications between devices and hosts will benefit consumers’ abilities to manage and procure content. We are also integrating 802.11 (Wi-Fi) technology as an option for our DVAP. We have a separate Wireless Technology Platform that can also be applied to other electronic products. We expect to support and integrate other, new wireless technologies into our DVAP or our Wireless Technology Platform, including WiMax, UWB and others.

DVAP Products and Services

We market and sell our eVU portable mobile entertainment device to customers directly and through VARs. Generally each batch sale includes logo customization on the device (for example an airline logo) and an initial content load with a customized graphical user interface or GUI (for example the airline logo appearing on startup, then a listing of content for selection by the end user). While marketing and sales of eVUs is currently targeted primarily to the airline industry, we believe it has applications in the healthcare, military, and other travel and leisure markets.

We have developed and sell accessory products to our customers and VARs allowing them to operate a mobile entertainment business. These accessories include e.Digital Battery Charging Stations to charge, maintain and refresh batteries and e.Digital Content Loading Stations to upload graphical interfaces and content to multiple players at one time. Customers also may order spare batteries depending on their requirements.

We also provide content services to our customers and VARs that includes encoding content (purchased by us or provided by the customer), integrating the content with our proprietary GUI software to produce a master content file (containing content and the customized GUI interface) for rapid uploading to multiple players. Our GUI allows ease of use and can accommodate multiple languages. Our tested and Hollywood studio approved encryption methods protect content from being pirated. These services allow protected content on eVU players to be periodically updated through e.Digital Content Loading Stations by our customers or VARs or others on their behalf.

We also offer extended maintenance and replacement services for customers.

We expect to offer new player models in the future and add features as required to remain a leader in the portable mobile entertainment field.

Markets for DVAP Products and Services

Industry Background
Digital video players including DVD players and related content are increasing in popularity with consumers. According to the Digital Entertainment Group, consumer spending on DVD increased from $12 billion in 1999 to over $24 billion in 2006.

Video compression formats such as MPEG-4 and DivX allow the compression and transmission of digital video files over the Internet. They also allow consumers to download and store on their personal computer’s hard drive full-length, two-hour, motion picture files in as little as 500 MB of storage space. There is also a developing market for streaming delivery of video content on the Internet. Corporations or video production companies may use streaming video to deliver information and entertainment to users.

We believe demand will grow for portable hardware systems that allow consumers to select and download movies over the Internet in digital form, then download them to a portable player capable of feeding the video and audio signals through a home entertainment system or built-in viewing screen and speakers. While our current focus is on our closed secure system offering high content protection in multiple use environments, we also see future opportunities to develop devices to meet the emerging need for digital download and portability.

We believe there are applications for our DVAP in broad aspects of the travel and leisure, medical, educational, consumer, government and military markets and that these are growing markets.

In-Flight Entertainment
IFE encompasses music, news, television programming, and motion pictures presented through audio/video systems typically embedded into an aircraft. Certain airlines are also beginning to incorporate satellite programming and/or wireless Internet access for their passengers through extensive built-in hardware in certain aircraft on certain routes. According to a Frost and Sullivan 2005 survey, airlines worldwide spend approximately $2 billion a year on entertainment with rapid growth predicted for portable and personal IFE devices.

Because the costs to retrofit an aircraft with IFE equipment can be prohibitive, we pioneered and developed an alternative IFE system. Our portable IFE player, based upon our DVAP, is smaller than a typical laptop computer and has a high-quality color screen and stereo headphones and long battery life unattainable by computer based devices. Although passengers may rent or purchase portable DVD players from outside entities, we created the first portable video players that can be rented to passengers by the airline. We believe this type of system is attractive to airlines and other travel-related entities because of its revenue potential, variety of content, long battery life, content security and inexpensive implementation.

The top 20 worldwide air carriers have over 7,400 aircraft many not equipped with IFE systems. There are approximately 1,500 airlines worldwide representing a substantial market for portable IFE devices. Some of our initial eVU customers include Lufthansa, Air France, Malaysia Airlines, Alitalia as well as small short-haul low cost carriers seeking to provide entertainment to their customers.

Other Markets
During fiscal 2006 (year ended March 31, 2006) we completed two successful trials in two major city hospitals using eVU in a variety of settings but primarily for patient waiting areas. Results indicate high satisfaction by users and hospital employees. We believe the approximately 6,000 hospitals and the many outpatient and other medical facilities in the U.S. provide a substantial market opportunity.

We believe the travel and leisure market also provides a significant market opportunity. This includes over 120 cruise ships operating internationally and over 40,000 hotels with under 150 rooms with many that do not offer in-room movies. Rail, bus, ferries and other modes of transportation also represent markets for eVU.

We also believe there is a market for eVU devices in the military on aircraft carriers and in other settings where personnel have down time and seek entertainment from a robust device with wide content variety without DVDs or tape.

Flash-R Patent Portfolio

Our Flash-R patent portfolio covers certain aspects of the use of flash memory, addressing today's large and growing portable electronic products market. In 1993, we unveiled and began marketing the first digital voice recorder with removable flash memory, powered by MicroOS. In 1996, we produced and began marketing the first digital voice recorder interface for downloading and managing voice recordings on the personal computer. The Flash-R portfolio is protected through the years 2014 – 2016 and includes the following U.S. patents:
 
5

 
 
§
US5491774: Handheld record and playback device with flash memory
 
§
US5742737: Method for recording voice messages on flash memory in a hand held recorder
§
US5787445: Operating system including improved file management for use in devices utilizing flash memory as main memory
 
§
US5839108: Flash memory file system in a handheld record and playback device
 
§
US5842170: Method for editing in hand held recorder

We have retained the international legal firm Duane Morris LLP to handle certain patent enforcement matters on a contingent fee basis. Duane Morris is one of the 100 largest law firms in the world. We are pursuing patent enforcement claims vigorously but we are in the early stage and there is no assurance of future license fees or recovery. Although most fees, costs and expenses of the litigation are covered under our contingent fee arrangement with Duane Morris, we incur support and related expenses for this litigation. In addition to support from our management team, we currently have one outside consultant assigned to assist, monitor and support Duane Morris in our intellectual property litigation activities.

Our Business Strategy

We are leveraging and building on a leadership position in the portable IFE market to market our eVU device to airlines and expand eVU distribution to the healthcare, military, and other travel and leisure markets. Our objective is to have our products play a significant role in the IFE and other related markets. We intend to expand our business by obtaining new IFE airline customers and customers in the healthcare, military, and other travel and leisure industries. We intend to use both direct and VAR sales domestically and internationally to grow our business.

We also intend to monetize our portfolio of patents related to the use of flash memory in portable devices. In October 2007 we announced we had commenced enforcement action with respect to our patent portfolio. In March 2008, we filed a complaint against Avid Technology, Casio America, LG Electronics USA, Nikon, Olympus America, Samsung Electronics America, and Sanyo North America in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting that products made by the companies infringe four of our U.S. patents covering the use of flash memory technology. In September 2007 we had filed a similar suit in the same jurisdiction against Vivitar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian. We expect to bring additional patent enforcement actions in the current fiscal year. There can be no assurance we can generate revenues from this activity.

Manufacturing

In the past we have employed nonexclusive relationships with manufacturers with facilities in Asia and the United States. These manufacturers either have performed or are qualified to perform manufacturing, assembly, and related services for us and for our customers and licensees. We have expertise in developing, performing and overseeing manufacturing processes.

In fiscal 2008 (year ended March 31, 2008) we purchased primary components from various suppliers with three suppliers accounting for 61%, 14% and 10%, respectively of total purchases for the fiscal year. In fiscal 2007 (year ended March 31, 2007) one manufacturer accounted for 73% of total purchases. Our manufacturers purchase major electronic components from a limited number of suppliers.

We have developed a turnkey domestic manufacturing relationship with a qualified contract electronic manufacturer for our eVU product and believe we can continue to deliver product timely to future customers. We expect substantial fiscal 2009 (year ending March 31, 2009) purchases to be from this contract manufacturer. The loss of this manufacturer or the disruption in supply from the manufacturer or in the supply of components by its and our suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

Marketing and sales are performed primarily by our Vice President of Business Development, our President/Chief Technical Officer, outside sales representatives, and various technical personnel who are involved in the sales process.  Our initial focus has been on international and regional airlines directly and through a VAR.

We also intend to use VARs in the airline and other target markets. A VAR offers the ability to provide entertainment (movie, television, music, informational, and/or educational content), supply, content refreshment and logistic services (recharging and maintenance) and related services for customers not able or willing to provide such services. In May 2006 we entered into an VAR agreement with London based Mezzo Movies Ltd. providing them exclusive rights to certain customers in the low-cost short-haul airline market primarily in Europe. Although the exclusive rights have expired, we are continuing to work and ship product to Mezzo as a VAR customer.

We expect to add additional VARs in the airline and in our other target markets as we expand distribution. For some customers we may expand our business to provide the support services typically provided by our larger customers or VARs.

We also intend to seek joint ventures or revenue sharing arrangements for deployment of eVU products in select applications.

We market our product and services through our strategic and industry relationships and technical articles in trade and business journals. We also participate in industry trade shows, either directly or in conjunction with customers and/or strategic partners. In the last twelve months we have devoted significant resources to creating enhanced marketing materials that supplement custom marketing presentations to key prospects. We may in the future employ limited and selected advertising in targeted industry publications.

Sales to three major customers comprised approximately 30%, 20% and 13% of our fiscal 2008 revenues. Two major customers comprised approximately 53% and 39% of our revenues in fiscal 2007. Historically, our revenues have relied on a few major customers. There is no assurance we will obtain any revenues from existing customers in fiscal 2009. We are seeking to expand our customer base and reduce reliance on a few customers in future periods. Currently the loss of any customer could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our backlog fluctuates due to the timing of large orders and other factors. Our products are manufactured with lead times of generally less than three months. Our backlog at March 31, 2008 was $400,000 and at March 31, 2007 it was $1,725,000. Our order backlog does not necessarily indicate future sales trends. Backlog orders are subject to modification, cancellation or rescheduling by our customers. Future shipments may also be delayed due to production delays, component shortages and other production and delivery related issues.

Research and Development Costs

For the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we spent $1,006,037 and $1,474,540, respectively, on research and development. We anticipate that we will continue to devote substantial resources to research and development activities.

Intellectual Property

We have five issued U.S. patents covering our MicroOS file management software and certain technology related to the use of flash memory in portable digital devices. Our software is also protected by copyrights. We rely primarily on a combination of patents, copyright and trade secret protection together with licensing arrangements and nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights.

We have designed and developed proprietary hardware encryption technology for content protection. This technology has been used in the digEplayer and eVU products and has been tested and approved by major Hollywood movie studios. We currently have a patent application pending with the U.S. Patent Office for this technology.

The patent position of any item for which we have filed a patent application is uncertain and may involve complex legal and factual issues. Although we are currently pursuing trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and also have filed certain U.S. and international patent applications, we do not know whether any of these applications will result in the issuance of patents or trademarks, or, for any patents already issued or issued in the future, whether they will provide significant proprietary protection or will be circumvented or invalidated. Additionally, since an issued patent does not guarantee the right to practice the claimed invention, there can be no assurance others will not obtain patents that we would need to license or design around in order to practice our patented technologies, or that licenses that might be required would be available on reasonable terms. Further there can be no assurance that any unpatented manufacture, use, or sale of our technology or products will not infringe on patents or proprietary rights of others. We have made reasonable efforts in the design and development of our products not to infringe on other known patents.

We also rely on trade secret laws for protection of our intellectual property, but there can be no assurance others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that we can protect our rights to unpatented trade secrets.

We have also filed a number of trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We have received notification of allowance from the United States Patent Office for use of e.Digital™, MicroOS™, Smart Solutions for a Digital World (Service Mark), VoiceNav®, Music Explorer®, MXP™, Flashback®, Hold That Thought®, Fumble Free® and SoundClip® as registered trade names. We intend to make every reasonable effort to protect our proprietary rights to make it difficult for competitors to market equivalent competing products without being required to conduct the same lengthy testing and development conducted by us and not to use any of our innovative and novel solutions to overcome the many technical obstacles involved in developing portable devices using flash memory and other portable storage formats.
 
Competition
 
Many large manufacturers currently market various forms of component or handheld digital video players, including Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, Hitachi, RCA, Audiovox, Philips, Daewoo, General Electric, and Toshiba. Other manufacturers may announce products in the future.

Competition in the IFE industry comes from portable DVD hardware manufactured by companies such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, or Audiovox, who may sell such products to travelers or airlines or rental outfits and custom portable IFE hardware specifically targeted for airline use. We compete with digEcor, a former customer that offers a competing product; The IMS Company, with their Fujitsu-based PEA (personal entertainment appliance) product and other products supplied by French consumer electronics manufacturer, Archos; European producers, AIRVOD Entertainment Systems and Bluebox Avionics, advertise portable IFE products that may become competitive to eVU. Panasonic and other electronic companies have or have announced products and may become more active in the portable IFE industry.  The airline industry may also continue to opt for embedded IFE systems offered by Panasonic, Thales and others.  Motion picture studios or others could contract competing hardware developers to create new portable products for the IFE industry.  Although our system was designed as a portable IFE device and has unique features and the support of content providers, there can be no assurance that other manufacturers will not create and introduce new competing portable IFE products.

Barriers to entry by new competitors are not significant and new competitors in consumer electronics are continually commencing operations. The technology of electronics and electronic components, features and capabilities is also rapidly changing, in many cases causing rapid obsolescence of existing products and technologies.

We believe we have developed a leading low-level real time operating system and comprehensive file management system capable of customization for individual customer requirements. Other companies offering file management systems include M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers Ltd. (acquired in 2006 by SanDisk Corporation), Intel Corporation, PortalPlayer Inc., I/O Magic, and Datalight Inc. In addition to licensing file management systems, some companies develop their own file management systems for a particular product, either in total or by adapting from one of the competitive vendors. While this self-development is common in simple memory management devices, we offer a system attractive for complex applications. Our technology competes with other solutions; however, we focus on markets requiring advanced features and a robust file management system. Although we were successful in competing against other systems in our selection by Bang & Olufsen, Hewlett-Packard, and others, there is no assurance we can continue to compete against other providers of digital recording solutions, many of whom have substantially greater resources.

We believe our existing know-how, contracts, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and potential future patents and copyrights, will be significant in enabling us to compete successfully in the field of portable digital entertainment products and systems.

Mr. Putnam devotes only part-time services to the Company, approximately twenty hours per week.

Employees

As of May 31, 2008, we employed approximately 14 full-time employees and one part-time employee of whom two were in production and testing, seven were in research, development and engineering, four were in sales, general and administrative and two are executive officers. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we are not aware of any current efforts to unionize the employees. Management considers the relationship between the Company and its employees to be good.

We also engage consultants or lease engineering personnel on a temporary basis from time to time and use other outside consultants for various services.

Environmental Compliance and Government Regulation

Our operations are subject to various foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, health and safety matters and there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred or that past or future operations will not result in exposure or injury or claims of injury by employees or the public. Some risk of costs and liabilities related to these matters are inherent in our business, as with many similar businesses. Management believes its business is operated in substantial compliance with applicable environmental, waste management, health and safety regulations, the violation of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In the event of violation, these requirements provide for civil and criminal fines, injunctions and other sanctions and, in certain instances, allow third parties to sue to enforce compliance. In addition, new, modified or more stringent requirements or enforcement policies could be adopted which could adversely affect our operations.

Portable electronic devices must comply with various regulations related to electronics and radiated emissions. Devices for operation on aircraft must comply with additional emission regulations. RTCA, Inc., a global organization comprised of industry and government representatives, develops standards to assure the safety and reliability of all Airborne Electronics (Avionics). Manufacturers of aircraft electronic equipment selling their products in the United States, Europe, and around the globe must meet RTCA requirements, including RTCA/DO-160D. Our eVU is DO-160D-certified for conducted and radiated emissions. DO-160D is the standard procedures and environmental test criteria for testing airborne equipment for the entire spectrum of aircraft from light general aviation aircraft and helicopters through large commercial jets. eVU is also U.S. FCC and European CE compliant.

In 2006, the electronics industry became subject to the European Union’s Restrictions of Hazardous Substances, or RoHS, and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, or WEEE, directives. Beginning January 1, 2007 the State of California put into effect a similar measure under the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 which requires the California Department of Toxic Substances Control to adopt regulations to prohibit the sale of electronic devices if they are prohibited from sale in the European Union because they contain certain heavy metals. Parallel initiatives are being proposed in other jurisdictions, including several other states in the United States and in the People’s Republic of China. RoHS prohibits the use of lead, mercury and certain other specified substances in electronics products and WEEE requires industry OEMs to assume responsibility for the collection, recycling and management of waste electronic products and components. We believe we produce RoHS compliant products. In the case of WEEE, the compliance responsibility rests primarily with OEMs, distributors or users of our products, however such parties may turn to product suppliers for assistance in meeting their WEEE obligations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Statements

In addition to the other information in this annual report the factors listed below should be considered in evaluating our business and prospects. This annual report contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere herein, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. In this report, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “future” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to consider the specific factors described below and not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof.

Financial Risks

We Have a History of Losses and May Incur Future Losses. We have incurred significant operating losses in prior fiscal years and at March 31, 2008 we had an accumulated deficit of $82 million. We had losses of approximately $1.7 million and $3.1 million in fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. To date, we have not achieved profitability and given the level of operating expenditures and the uncertainty of revenues and margins, we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows in future periods. The failure to obtain sufficient revenues and margins to support operating expenses could harm our business.

Unless We Obtain Adequate Financing and Increase Our Revenues We May Be Unable to Continue as a Going Concern. Our Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. This factor, in combination with (i) reliance upon debt and new equity financing to fund the continuing losses from operations and cash flow deficits, (ii) material net losses and cash flow deficits from operations during fiscal year 2008 and in prior years and (iii) the possibility that we may be unable to meet our debts as they come due, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing and achieve a level of revenues, adequate to support our capital and operating requirements, as to which no assurance can be given. In the event we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence. Our auditors have included in their report an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
10

 
We Need to Obtain Additional Financing to Continue Operating our Business. We had an operating cash flow deficit of $1.4 million for fiscal 2008 and $2.5 million for fiscal 2007. We believe that cash on hand and proceeds from existing development and production contracts and product sales, are not sufficient to meet cash requirements for the next twelve months. We anticipate the need to raise additional funds to:

 
·
Finance working capital requirements
 
·
Pay for operating expenses or shortfalls in anticipated revenues
 
·
Fund research and development costs
 
·
Develop new technology, products or services
 
·
Respond to competitive pressures
 
·
Support strategic and industry relationships
 
·
Fund the production and marketing of our products and services
 
·
Meet our debt obligations as they become due

We cannot guarantee that the common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion Capital”) will be sufficient or available to fund our ongoing operations. We only have the right to receive $80,000 every four business days under the agreement with Fusion Capital unless our stock price equals or exceeds $0.10, in which case we can sell greater amounts to Fusion Capital as the price of our common stock increases. Fusion Capital does not have the right, nor the obligation, to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the market price of our common stock is less than $0.08. We registered 19,166,666 shares for sale by Fusion Capital from time to time. We sold 4,166,666 shares to Fusion Capital in January 2007 for proceeds of $500,000 and an additional 6,283,275 shares through March 31, 2008 for additional proceeds of $960,000. Accordingly, the selling price of the common stock that may be sold to Fusion to the term of the common stock purchase agreement will have to average at least $0.81 per share for us to receive the maximum remaining proceeds of $7.0 million. Assuming a purchase price of $0.16 per share (the closing sale price of the common stock on March 31, 2008) and the purchase by Fusion of the remaining shares under the common stock purchase agreement at that date, proceeds to us would be an additional $1.4 million.

The extent we rely on Fusion Capital as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources, such as through the sale of our products or services or the licensing of our intellectual property. Specifically, Fusion Capital does not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business days that the market price of our common stock is less than $0.08. If obtaining sufficient financing from Fusion Capital was to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive and if we are unable to raise additional funds through the sale of our products or services or the licensing of our intellectual property, we will need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we are able to access the sufficient financing under the common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans.

We cannot assure you that such additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us then we may not be able to continue operations or take advantage of opportunities. If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity, including common stock, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced.

We Expect Our Operating Results to Fluctuate Significantly - Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate in the future. This fluctuation is a result of a variety of factors, including the following:

 
·
Unpredictable demand and pricing for our products and services
 
·
Market acceptance of our products by our customers and their end users
 
·
Uncertainties with respect to future customer product orders, their timing and the margins to be received, if any
 
·
Fluctuations in product costs and operating costs
 
·
Changes in research and development costs
 
·
Changes in general economic conditions
 
·
Risks and costs of warranty claims
 
·
Changes in technology
 
·
Short product lifecycles and possible obsolescence of inventory and materials
 
11

 
We May Experience Product Delays, Cost Overruns and Errors Which Could Adversely Affect our Operating Performance and Ability to Remain Competitive. We have experienced development delays and cost overruns associated with product development and provision of services to our customers in the past. We may experience additional delays and cost overruns on current or future projects. Future delays and cost overruns could adversely affect our financial results and could affect our ability to respond to technological changes, evolving industry standards, competitive developments or customer requirements. Our technology, products and services could contain errors that could cause delays, order cancellations, contract terminations, adverse publicity, reduced market acceptance of products, or lawsuits by our customers or others who have acquired our products.

We do not Anticipate Paying Dividends. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. An investment in our common stock, therefore, may be more suitable for an investor that is seeking capital appreciation rather than current yield and, as a consequence, may be more speculative. Accordingly, investors should not purchase our common stock with an expectation of receiving regular dividends.

Risks Related to Sales, Marketing and Competition

We May Be Unable to Successfully Compete in the Electronic Products Market Which is Highly Competitive and Subject to Rapid Technological Change. We compete in the market for electronics products that is intensely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. The market is also impacted by evolving industry standards, rapid price changes and rapid product obsolescence. Our competitors include a number of large foreign companies with U.S. operations and a number of domestic companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources. Our current competitors or new market entrants could introduce new or enhanced technologies or products with features that render our technology or products obsolete or less marketable, or could develop means of producing competitive products at a lower cost. Our ability to compete successfully will depend in large measure on our ability to maintain our capabilities in connection with upgrading products and quality control procedures and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry. Competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins, and loss of contracts, any of which could harm our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to keep pace with the technological demands of the marketplace or successfully enhance our products or develop new products that are compatible with the products of the electronics industry.

We Rely on a Limited Number of Customers from One Industry for Revenue. Historically, a substantial portion of our revenues has been derived primarily from a limited number of customers and revenues during fiscal 2007 and 2008 were derived from one industry, the airline industry. Three customers accounted for 63% of our revenues for the year ended March 31, 2008 and two customers accounted for 92% of revenues in the year ended March 31, 2007. The failure to receive orders for and produce products or a decline in the economic prospects of the airline industry or our customers or the products we may produce for sale may have a material adverse effect on our operations. The airline industry is facing a variety of economic challenges that may adversely affect the prospects for new orders of portable IFE systems and adversely affecting future operating results.

Customer Litigation. In May 2006, our company and certain of our current and former officers were sued by former customer digEcor. We are unable to determine at this time the impact this litigation and matter may have on our financial position or results of operations. An adverse ruling by the court could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. See “Legal Proceedings.”

If We Are Unsuccessful in Achieving Market Acceptance of Our Products, It Could Harm Our Business. Sales and marketing strategy contemplates sales of our products to the IFE and other markets. Any failure to penetrate our targeted markets would have a material adverse effect upon our operations and prospects. Market acceptance of our products by our customers and their end users will depend in part upon our ability to demonstrate and maintain the advantages of our technology over competing products.

We Have Limited Marketing Capabilities and Resources Which Makes It Difficult For Us to Create Awareness of and Demand for Our Products and Technology. We have limited marketing capabilities and resources and are primarily dependent upon in-house executives for the marketing of our products, as well as our licensing business. Selling products and attracting new business customers requires ongoing marketing and sales efforts and expenditure of funds to create awareness of and demand for our technology. We cannot assure that our marketing efforts will be successful or result in future development contracts or other revenues.

The Success of Our Business Depends on Emerging Markets and New Products.  In order for demand for our technology, services and products to grow, the markets for portable digital devices, such as digital recorders and digital video/music players and other portable consumer devices must develop and grow. If sales for these products do not grow, our revenues could decline. To remain competitive, we intend to develop new applications for our technology and develop new technology and products. If new applications or target markets fail to develop, or if our technology, services and products are not accepted by the market, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
 
12

 
Development of New or Improved Products, Processes or Technologies May Render Our Technology Obsolete and Hurt Our Business. The electronics, contract manufacturing and computer software markets are characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological change resulting in very short product life cycles. Development of new or improved products, processes or technologies may render our technology and developed products obsolete or less competitive. We will be required to devote substantial efforts and financial resources to enhance our existing products and methods of manufacture and to develop new products and methods. There can be no assurance we will succeed with these efforts. Moreover, there can be no assurance that other products will not be developed which may render our technology and products obsolete.

Risks Related to Operations

We Depend On a Limited Number of Contract Manufacturers and Suppliers and Our Business Will Be Harmed By Any Interruption of Supply or Failure of Performance. We rely on one major supplier for manufacturing our eVU product. We depend on our contract manufacturer to (i) allocate sufficient capacity to our manufacturing needs, (ii) produce acceptable quality products at agreed pricing and (iii) deliver on a timely basis. If a manufacturer is unable to satisfy these requirements, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. Any failure in performance by our manufacturer for any reason could have a material adverse affect on our business. Production and pricing by such manufacturer is subject to the risk of price fluctuations and periodic shortages of components. We have no supply agreements with component suppliers and, accordingly, we are dependent on the future ability of our manufacturer to purchase components. Failure or delay by suppliers in supplying necessary components could adversely affect our ability to deliver products on a timely and competitive basis in the future.

If We Lose Key Personnel or Are Unable to Attract and Retain Additional Highly Skilled Personnel Required For the Expansion of Our Activities Our Business Will Suffer. Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel and their ability to execute our strategy. The loss of the services of any of our senior level management, or certain other key employees, may harm our business. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. Competition for employees in our industry is intense. We may be unable to retain our key employees or to attract, assimilate and retain other highly qualified employees in the future. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications.

Because Some of Our Management are Part-Time and Have Certain Conflicts of Interest, Our Business Could Be Harmed. Our Senior Vice President, Robert Putnam, also performs investor relations for American Technology Corporation. As a result of his involvement with American Technology Corporation, Mr. Putnam has in the past, and is expected in the future to devote a substantial portion of his time to other endeavors and only part-time services to e.Digital. Certain conflicts of interest now exist and will continue to exist between e.Digital and Mr. Putnam due to the fact that he has other employment or business interests to which he devotes some attention and he is expected to continue to do so. It is conceivable that the respective areas of interest of e.Digital and American Technology Corporation could overlap or conflict.

Risks Related to our Patent Enforcement Strategy

Enforcement of Our Patented Technologies is Untested and We Face Uncertain Revenue Prospects or Market Value. Our portfolio of flash memory patents and technologies have yet to be licensed nor have they been the subject of any patent enforcement litigation. The licensing demand for our patent portfolio is untested and is subject to fluctuation based upon the rate at which target infringers agree to pay royalties or settle enforcement actions, if any. There can be no assurance of revenues from our strategy of enforcing our flash memory patent portfolio.

Our Fee Arrangement with Patent Enforcement Counsel Subjects Us to Certain Risks and Substantial Costs and Fees Could Limit Our Net Proceeds From Any Successful Patent Enforcement Actions. Our agreement for legal services and a contingent fee arrangement with Duane Morris LLP provides that Duane Morris is our exclusive legal counsel in connection with the assertion of our flash memory related patents against infringers (“Patent Enforcement Matters’). Duane Morris is advancing certain costs and expenses including travel expenses, court costs and expert fees. We have agreed to pay Duane Morris a fee equal to 40% of any license or litigation recovery related to Patent Enforcement Matters, after recovery of expenses, and 50% of recovery if appeal is necessary. We are not in control of the timing, costs and fees, which could be substantial and could limit our share of proceeds, if any, from future patent enforcement actions. There can be no assurance Duane Morris will diligently and timely pursue patent enforcement actions on our behalf. In the event we are acquired or sold or we elect to sell the covered patents or upon certain other corporate events or in the event we terminate the agreement with Duane Morris for any reason, then Duane Morris shall be entitled to collect accrued costs and a fee equal to three times overall time and expenses and a fee of 15% of a good faith estimate of the overall value of the covered patents. We have provided Duane Morris a lien and a security interest in the covered patents to secure this obligation. Should any of the aforementioned events occur, the fees and costs owed to Duane Morris could be substantial and limit our revenues.
 
13

 
New Legislation, Regulations or Rules Related to Enforcing Patents Could Significantly Decrease Our Prospect for Revenue and Increase the Time and Costs Associated with Patent Enforcement.  If new legislation, regulations or rules are implemented either by Congress, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or the courts that impact the patent application process, the patent enforcement process or the rights of patent holders, these changes could negatively affect our revenue prospects and increase the costs of enforcement. For example, new rules regarding the burden of proof in patent enforcement actions could significantly increase the cost of our enforcement actions, and any new standards or limitations on liability for patent infringement could negatively impact revenue derived from such enforcement actions. While we are not aware that any such changes are likely to occur in the foreseeable future that impact our current patents, we cannot assure that such changes will not occur.

Should Litigation Be Required to Enforce Our Patents, Trial Judges and Juries Often Find It Difficult to Understand Complex Patent Enforcement Litigation, and as a Result, We May Need to Appeal Adverse Decisions By Lower Courts In Order to Successfully Enforce Our Patents. It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level. It is often difficult for juries and trial judges to understand complex, patented technologies, and as a result, there is a higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation. Such appeals are expensive and time consuming, resulting in increased costs and delayed revenue. Although we intend to diligently pursue enforcement litigation if necessary to monetize our patents, we cannot predict with significant reliability the decisions made by juries and trial courts.

Federal Courts are Becoming More Crowded, and as a Result, Patent Enforcement Litigation is Taking Longer. Any patent enforcement actions we may be required to take to monetize our patents will most likely be prosecuted in federal court. Federal trial courts that hear patent enforcement actions also hear other cases that may take priority over any actions we may take. As a result, it is difficult to predict the length of time it will take to complete any enforcement actions.

As Patent Enforcement Litigation Becomes More Prevalent, It May Become More Difficult for Us to Voluntarily License Our Patents. We believe that the more prevalent patent enforcement actions become, the more difficult it will be for us to voluntarily license our patents to major electronic firms. As a result, we may need to increase the number of our patent enforcement actions to cause infringing companies to license our patents or pay damages for lost royalties. This may increase the risks associated with an investment in our Company.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Government Regulation

Failing to Protect Our Proprietary Rights to Our Technology Could Harm Our Ability to Compete, as well as Our Results of Our Operations. Our success and ability to compete substantially depends on our internally developed software, technologies and trademarks, which we protect through a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws. Patent applications or trademark registrations may not be approved. Even when they are approved, our patents or trademarks may be successfully challenged by others or invalidated. If our trademark registrations are not approved because third parties own such trademarks, our use of these trademarks would be restricted unless we enter into arrangements with the third-party owners, which may not be possible on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and strategic and industry partners, and generally control access to and distribution of our software, technologies, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use or disclosure, parties may attempt to disclose, obtain or use our solutions or technologies. The steps we have taken may not prevent misappropriation of our solutions or technologies, particularly in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. We have licensed, and we may license in the future, certain proprietary rights to third parties. While we attempt to ensure that our business partners maintain the quality of our brand, they may take actions that could impair the value of our proprietary rights or our reputation. In addition, these business partners may not take the same steps we have taken to prevent misappropriation of our solutions or technologies.
 
14

 
We May Face Intellectual Property Infringement Claims That May Be Difficult to Defend and Costly to Resolve, Which Could Harm Our Business. Although we do not believe we infringe the proprietary rights of any third parties, we cannot assure you that third parties will not assert such claims against us in the future or that such claims will not be successful. We could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources to defend any claims relating to proprietary rights, which could harm our business. In addition, we are obligated under certain agreements to indemnify the other party for claims that we infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties. If we are required to indemnify parties under these agreements, our business could be harmed. If someone asserts a claim relating to proprietary technology or information against us, we may seek licenses to this intellectual property. We may not be able to obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights may harm our business.

Risks Related to Government Regulation, Content and Intellectual Property Government Regulation May Subject Us to Liability and Require Us to Change the Way We Do Business. Our business is subject to rapidly changing laws and regulations. Although our operations are currently based in California, the United States government and the governments of other states and foreign countries have attempted to regulate activities on the Internet. Evolving areas of law that are relevant to our business include privacy law, copyright law, proposed encryption laws, content regulation and import/export regulations. Because of this rapidly evolving and uncertain regulatory environment, we cannot predict how these laws and regulations might affect our business. In addition, these uncertainties make it difficult to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations governing the Internet. These laws and regulations could harm us by subjecting us to liability or forcing us to change how we do business. We are also subject to regulations for portable electronic devices in various countries and for the emissions of such devices in aircraft. Failure to comply with these many regulations could harm our business or require us to repurchase products from customers.

Compliance With Current And Future Environmental Regulations May Be Costly, Which Could Impact Our Future Earnings. We are subject to environmental and other regulations due to our production and marketing of products in certain states and countries. We also face increasing complexity in our product design and procurement operations as we adjust to new and upcoming requirements relating to the materials composition of our products, including the restrictions on lead and certain other substances in electronics that apply to specified electronics products put on the market in the European Union as of July 1, 2006 (Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (EU RoHS)). The European Union has also finalized the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE), which makes producers of electrical goods financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products. Other countries, such as the United States, China and Japan, have enacted or may enact laws or regulations similar to the EU RoHS or WEEE Legislation. These and other environmental regulations may require us to reengineer certain of our existing products to comply with environmental regulations.

We May Incur Liability from Our Requirement to Indemnify Certain Customers Regarding Current Litigation and Certain Intellectual Property Matters. Our contracts with major airlines are subject to future performance by us and product warranties and intellectual property indemnifications including certain remedies, ranging from modification to product substitution or refund. We are also required to provide similar indemnification for adverse consequences of the litigation described below in “Legal Proceedings.” Should our products be deemed to infringe on the intellectual property of others the costs of modification, substitution or refund could be material and could harm our business and adversely impact our operations.

Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Is Not Adequate And May Result In Financial Statements That Are Incomplete Or Subject To Restatement. Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 requires significant procedures and review processes of our system of internal controls. Section 404 requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal control over financial reporting beginning with this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to report on our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending March 31, 2009. The additional costs associated with this process may be significant.
 
After documenting and testing our system, we have identified material weaknesses in our accounting and financial functions due to a lack of oversight by an independent audit committee and ineffective controls over the period ending closing process. As a result, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. As a result of our internal control over financial reporting being ineffective, investors could lose confidence in our financial reports, and our stock price might be adversely affected. In addition, remedying this or any future material weaknesses that we or our independent registered public accounting firm might identify, could require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. We cannot assure you that any of the measures we might implement to remedy any such deficiencies would effectively mitigate or remedy such deficiencies.

Risks Related to Trading in Our Common Stock

The Sale of our Common Stock to Fusion Capital May Cause Dilution and the Sale of the Shares of Common Stock Acquired by Fusion Capital Could Cause the Price of our Common Stock to Decline. In connection with entering into the common stock purchase agreement, we authorized the sale to Fusion Capital of up to 19,166,666 shares of our common stock. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by Fusion Capital is dependent upon the number of shares purchased by Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. The purchase price for the common stock to be sold to Fusion Capital pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. All of the 19,166,666 shares in the offering are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that the shares registered that may not have been previously sold to date may be sold over the next seven months. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, a sale of shares under the offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. Fusion Capital may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the 8,716,725 shares of common stock not issued at March 31, 2008. After it has acquired the shares, it may sell all, some or none of the shares. Therefore, sales to Fusion Capital by us under the agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock under this offering, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Fusion Capital and the common stock purchase agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.

Investing in a Technology Stock (Such as Ours) May Involve Greater Risk Than Other Investments Due to Market Conditions, Stock Price Volatility and Other Factors. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to significant fluctuations to date, and will likely be subject to wide fluctuations in the future due to:

 
·
Quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results
 
·
Announcements of technological innovations by us, our customers or competitors
 
·
New products or significant design achievements by us or our competitors
 
·
General conditions in the markets for the our products or in the electronics industry
 
·
The price and availability of products and components
 
·
Changes in operating factors including delays of shipments, orders or cancellations
 
·
General financial market conditions
 
·
Market conditions for technology stocks
 
·
Litigation or changes in operating results or estimates by analysts or others
 
·
Or other events or factors

In addition, potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock by stockholders and by the Company, including Fusion Capital and subsequent sale of common stock by the holders of warrants and options could have an adverse effect on the market price of our shares.

We do not endorse and accept any responsibility for the estimates or recommendations issued by stock research analysts or others from time to time or comments on any electronic chat boards. The public stock markets in general, and technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many high technology companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock in the future.

Low-Price Stocks and Stocks Traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board are Subject to Special Regulations and may have Increased Risk. Our shares of common stock are traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, an electronic, screen-based trading system operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). Securities traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board are, for the most part, thinly traded and are subject to special regulations not imposed on securities listed or traded on the NASDAQ system or on a national securities exchange. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our outstanding common stock in the public market could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock. To date, the price of our common stock has been extremely volatile with the sale price fluctuating from a low of $0.11 to a high of $0.23 in the last twelve months. In addition, our common stock is subject to Rules 15g-1-15g-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally, a person with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with his or her spouse). For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and may affect the ability of investors to sell their securities in the secondary market. The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted regulations which define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the regulations require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Important Factors Related to Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks. This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements include our plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the products and our future economic performance. The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that we will design, manufacture, market and ship new products on a timely basis, that competitive conditions within the computer and electronic markets will not change materially or adversely, that the computer and electronic markets will continue to experience growth, that demand for the our products will increase, that we will obtain and/or retain existing development partners and key management personnel, that future inventory risks due to shifts in market demand will be minimized, that our forecasts will accurately anticipate market demand and that there will be no material adverse change in our operations or business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect, among other things, to future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking information will be realized. In addition, as disclosed above, our business and operations are subject to substantial risks which increase the uncertainty inherent in such forward-looking statements. Any of the other factors disclosed above could cause our net sales or net income (or loss), or our growth in net sales or net income (or loss), to differ materially from prior results. Growth in absolute amounts of costs of sales and selling and administrative expenses or the occurrence of extraordinary events could cause actual results to vary materially from the results contemplated in the forward-looking statements. Budgeting and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect our results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

In March 2006, we entered into a sixty-two month lease, commencing June 1, 2006, for approximately 4,800 square feet at 16770 West Bernardo Drive, San Diego, California with a current aggregate monthly payment of $5,980 excluding utilities and costs. The aggregate payments adjust annually with maximum aggregate payments totaling $6,535 in the fifty-first through the sixty-second month.

We believe this facility is adequate to meet our needs for the next twelve months given current plans. However should we expand our operations, we may be required to obtain additional space or alternative space. We believe there is adequate availability of office space in the general vicinity to meet our future needs.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Business Litigation
In May 2006, we announced that a complaint had been filed against our Company and certain of our officers and employees by digEcor, Inc. in the Third Judicial District Court of Utah, County of Salt Lake. The complaint alleged breaches of contract, unjust enrichment, breaches of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and interference with prospective economic relations. digEcor sought, among other things, an injunction to prevent our Company from selling or licensing certain digital rights management technology and “from engaging in any competition with digEcor until after 2009.” digEcor also sought “actual damages” of $793,750 and “consequential damages...not less than an additional $1,000,000.” This action was related to a purchase order we placed for this customer in the normal course of business on November 11, 2005 for 1,250 digEplayers™ with our contract manufacturer, Maycom Co., Ltd.. Maycom was paid in full for the order by both e.Digital and digEcor by March 2006, but Maycom failed to timely deliver the order. We recorded an impairment charge of $603,750 in March 2006 for deposits paid to Maycom due to the uncertainty of obtaining future delivery. In October 2006 we received delivery from Maycom of the delayed 1,250-unit digEplayer order and delivered the order to digEcor. We recognized $713,750 of revenue from this order and reversed an impairment charge of $603,750 in our third fiscal 2007 quarter.
 
17

 
We have answered the complaint and are pursuing certain counterclaims. The case is currently in the discovery phase. In January 2007, the Court ruled on certain motions of the parties. In its ruling, the Court dismissed digEcor’s unjust enrichment, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference and punitive damage claims. The Court further acknowledged the delivery of the 1,250-unit order and a partial settlement between the parties reducing digEcor’s claim for purchase-price or actual damages from $793,750 to $94,846 with such amount still being disputed by e.Digital. digEcor’s contract and damages claims remain in dispute, and the Court provided some interpretation of the contracts at issue in its ruling. digEcor subsequently amended its Complaint to assert an alternative breach of contract claim, and claims for federal, state and common law unfair competition, and sought an injunction prohibiting us “from engaging in any competition with digEcor until after 2013.” In April 2007 digEcor filed a motion for summary judgment seeking enforcement of an alleged noncompete provision and an injunction prohibiting us from competing with digEcor. In October 2007 the Court denied, without prejudice, digEcor’s motion for partial summary judgment and a request for injunction. The foregoing and other findings of the Court may be subject to appeal by either party.
 
We believe we have substantive and multiple defenses and intend to vigorously challenge the remaining matters and pursue existing and possible additional counterclaims. Due to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation, however, there can be no assurance whether we will or will not prevail in our defense against digEcor’s remaining claims. We are also unable to determine at this time the impact this complaint and matter may have on our financial position or results of operations. We have an accrual of $80,000 as an estimate of our obligation related to the remaining general damage claim and we intend to seek restitution from Maycom for any damages we may incur but recovery from Maycom is not assured. Maycom is not involved in the design, tooling or production of our proprietary eVU mobile product. Moreover, we do not presently plan or expect to produce or sell digEplayer models to digEcor or other customers in the future.

In April 2007 we filed a second amended counterclaim in the United States District Court of Utah seeking a declaratory judgment confirming the status of prior agreements between the parties, alleging breach of our confidential information and trade secrets by digEcor, seeking an injunction against digEcor’s manufacture and sale of a portable product based on our technology, alleging breach of duty to negotiate regarding revenue sharing dollars we believe we have the right to receive and tortious interference by digEcor in our contracts with third parties. We intend to vigorously prosecute these counterclaims. There can be no assurance, however, that we will prevail on any of our counterclaims.

Intellectual Property Litigation
In March 2008, we filed a complaint against Avid Technology, Casio America, LG Electronics USA, Nikon, Olympus America, Samsung Electronics America, and Sanyo North America in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting that products made by the listed companies infringe four of our U.S. patents covering the use of flash memory technology. These patents are part of our Flash-R patent portfolio. In September 2007 we filed a similar suit in the same jurisdiction against Vivitar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian. We intend to pursue our claims vigorously but the litigation is in the early stage and there is no assurance of recovery. Although most fees, costs and expenses of the litigation are covered under our contingent fee arrangement with Duane Morris LLP, we may incur support and related expenses for this litigation that may become material.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and includes forward-looking statements with respect to the company’s future financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and from historical results depending upon a variety of factors, including those described elsewhere in this Annual Report and under the sub-heading, “Risk Factors - Important Factors Related to Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks.”

General
We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. We have innovated a proprietary secure digital video/audio technology platform (“DVAP”) that can be applied to produce complex portable electronic products. In February 2006 we introduced a new and improved DVAP device, the eVU™ mobile entertainment device targeted at the IFE and additional markets. We commenced eVU customer trials in the late 2006 and commercial shipments to customers in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Our strategy is to market our eVU products and services to a growing base of U.S. and international companies in the airline, healthcare, military, and other travel and leisure industries that desire to market eVU to consumers at their facilities. We employ both direct sales to customers and sales through value added distributors (VARs) that provide marketing, logistic and/or content services to customers. We also intend to aggressively pursue enforcement and licensing of our Flash-R patent portfolio.

Our revenue is derived from the sale of DVAP products and accessories to customers, warranty and technical support services and content fees and related services. We also anticipate that we can obtain license revenue in the future from our Flash-R patent portfolio.

Our business and technology is high risk in nature. There can be no assurance we can achieve sufficient eVU revenues to become profitable or produce future revenues from our patent portfolio or from new products or services. We continue to be subject to the risks normally associated with any new business activity, including unforeseeable expenses, delays and complications. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that we can or will report operating profits in the future.

Overall Performance and Trends
We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations in the current period and in each of the last three fiscal years and these losses have been material. We have an accumulated deficit of $82 million and a working capital deficit of $1,292,292 at March 31, 2008. Our operating plans require additional funds that may take the form of debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to our company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. Our company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and obtaining additional financing.

Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) expanding sales and marketing to new customers and new markets; (b) monetizing the Flash-R patent portfolio; (c) controlling overhead and expenses; and (c) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing. We obtained $960,000 of equity proceeds pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion”) during the year ended March 31, 2008. We may have access to up to $1.4 million of additional funding pursuant to this agreement (or a maximum of $7 million at higher stock prices). Future availability under the Fusion agreement is subject to many conditions, some of which are predicated on events that are not within our control. The availability of additional funding under the Fusion agreement is subject to many conditions, some of which are predicated on events that are not within our control. There can be no assurance this capital resource will be available or be sufficient.

For the year ended March 31, 2008:

 
·
Our revenues were $5.6 million a 206% increase over the prior year. During fiscal 2007 we were transitioning to our new product and had no significant revenues until the third fiscal quarter. Sales to three customers accounted for 30%, 20% and 13% of our revenues and our recent results have been dependent on the timing and quantity of eVU orders by a limited number of customers. We expect future results to be dependent on eVU orders from a limited number of customers although we seek to expand and diversify our customer base both in the IFE space and other markets. The failure to obtain eVU orders or delays of orders or production delays could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

21


 
·
We recorded a gross profit of $1.5 million in fiscal 2008 compared to a gross profit of $1.0 million for fiscal 2007. Gross profit in fiscal 2007 included a $603,750 reduction in costs due to the reversal of an impairment cost recorded in cost of sales in the prior year. Future gross profit margins are dependent on prices charged, volume of orders and product mix and costs.

 
·
Operating expenses were $3.0 million, a decrease from $3.1 million for fiscal 2007. Selling and administrative expenses increased while research and development costs declined as a result of the completion of the eVU model in fiscal 2007 and the resulting emphasis on sales, marketing and customer support.

 
·
Other income and expenses for fiscal 2008 were a net expense of $0.3 million consisting primarily of interest and financing royalties. Other income and expenses for fiscal 2007 were a net expense of $1.1 million consisting primarily of $1.4 million of interest expense (including non-cash interest of $1.1 million primarily related to amortization of warrants issued with converted debt), $0.2 million of warrant inducement expense, reduced by $0.5 million of gain on debt settlement.

 
·
Our net loss was $1.7 million for fiscal 2008 compared to $3.1 million for fiscal 2007.

We recently commenced enforcement actions of our Flash-R patent portfolio. Our international legal firm Duane Morris LLP is handling our patent enforcement matters on a contingent fee basis. It is too early to evaluate the likelihood of success or timing of results of our enforcement actions.

Our monthly cash operating costs have been on average approximately $235,000 per month for the period ending March 31, 2008. However, we may increase expenditure levels in future periods to support and expand our revenue opportunities and continue advanced product and technology research and development. Accordingly, our losses are expected to continue until such time as we are able to realize revenues and margins sufficient to cover our costs of operations. We may also face unanticipated technical or manufacturing obstacles and face warranty and other risks in our business. See “Risk Factors.”

Management faces significant challenges in fiscal 2009 to execute its plan to grow sales, monetize the Flash-R patent portfolio, control costs and obtain financing to retire existing debt and fund any operating losses or other capital requirements. Our ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a profitable level of operations. In the event we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, we have not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventory valuation, intangible assets, financing operations, warranty obligations, estimated costs to complete research contracts, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
22


Revenue Recognition
We recognize product revenue upon shipment of a product to the customer, FOB shipping point, or upon acceptance by the customer depending on the specific contract terms, if a signed contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of resulting receivables is probable and there are no resulting obligations. Research and development contract revenues on short-term projects or service revenue is recognized once the services or product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable and there are no resulting obligations. If all of the service or product has been delivered and there is one element that is more than perfunctory to the services or product that has not been delivered, revenue will be deferred and recognized evenly over the remaining term of the undelivered element.

During fiscal 2008 service revenues included revenue from coding, encrypting and integrating content for periodic uploading to hardware players. Revenue is recognized upon acceptance of the content master file by the customer if the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of the resulting receivables is probable and there are no resulting obligations.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”) and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”), when an arrangement contains multiple elements with standalone value, such as hardware and content or other services, revenue is allocated based on the fair value of each element as evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence. Such evidence consists primarily of pricing of multiple elements as if sold as separate products or services. We defer revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognize revenue when the product is delivered or over the period in which the service is performed, in accordance with our revenue recognition policy for such element. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in a multiple-element arrangement, revenue is deferred until all elements are delivered and/or services have been performed, or until we can objectively determine the fair value of all remaining undelivered elements.

Revenue from separately priced extended warranty or product replacement arrangements is deferred and recognized to income on a straight-line basis over the contract period. We evaluate these arrangements to determine if there are excess costs greater than future revenues to be recorded as a loss.

Funds received in advance of meeting the criteria for revenue recognition are deferred and are recorded as revenue as they are earned. Any amounts related to periods beyond twelve months are considered long-term deferred revenue.

Estimates and Allowances
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We also review deposits with manufacturers and others for impairment.

We establish a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold and anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. We evaluate the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period.

Income Taxes
We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”) on April 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax provisions and the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2007 was $-0-. At the adoption date of April 1, 2007, deferred tax assets were fully reserved by a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to zero, the amount that more likely than not is expected to be realized.

We have provided a full valuation reserve related to our net deferred tax assets for each period. In the future, if sufficient evidence of our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions becomes apparent, we may be required to reduce our valuation allowances, resulting in income tax benefits in our consolidated statement of operations. We evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets and assess the need for valuation allowance quarterly.

We have experienced various ownership changes as a result of past financings and could experience future ownership changes. Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards may be significantly limited. Additionally, because U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be applied against future taxes, we may not be able to take full advantage of these reduced attributes for federal income tax purposes. We have not performed an analysis of our deferred tax assets for net operating losses or any possible research and development credits. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and the offsetting valuation allowance have been removed from deferred tax assets (footnote only due to full valuation allowance) until such an analysis is documented.
 
23


Stock-Based Compensation
We adopted SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share Based Payment”, effective April 1, 2006 using a modified prospective application. Under the modified prospective application, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and subsequently modified or cancelled. Estimated compensation expense for awards outstanding at the effective date is recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123).

Options or stock awards issued to non-employees who are not directors of the Company are recorded at their estimated fair value at the measurement date in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services,” and are periodically revalued as the options vest and are recognized as expense over the related service period on a graded vesting method. Stock options issued to consultants with performance conditions are measured and recognized when the performance is complete. We make certain assumptions and estimates to value stock-based compensation expense for employees and consultants.

We account for the value of warrants and the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion rights arising from convertible instruments pursuant to the interpretative guidance of FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, and EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with embedded conversion features. We make certain assumptions and estimates to value any derivative liabilities. Factors affecting these liabilities and values include changes in the stock price and other assumptions.

Under our bylaws, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events. We also enter into certain litigation and intellectual property and other indemnification agreements in the normal course of our business. We have no liabilities recorded for such indemnities.

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings. For any legal proceedings we are involved in, we estimate the range of liability relating to pending litigation, where the amount and range of loss can be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when a loss is considered probable. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to pending litigation and will revise estimates. At March 31, 2008 we had a loss accrual of $80,000 as an estimate of our obligation related to the remaining general damage claim.

Our legal firm Duane Morris is handling Patent Enforcement Matters and certain related appeals on our Flash-R patent portfolio on a contingent fee basis. Duane Morris also has agreed to advance certain costs and expenses including travel expenses, court costs and expert fees. We are not obligated to pay these costs except out of future proceeds or as provided in the following paragraph. We have agreed to pay Duane Morris a fee equal to 40% of any license or litigation recovery related to Patent Enforcement Matters, after recovery of expenses, and 50% of recovery if appeal is necessary.

In the event we are acquired or sold or elect to sell the covered patents or upon certain other corporate events or in the event we terminate the agreement for any reason, then Duane Morris shall be entitled to collect accrued costs and a fee equal to three times overall time and expenses accrued in connection with the agreement and a fee of 15% of a good faith estimate of the overall value of the covered patents. Duane Morris has a lien and a security interest in the covered patents to secure its obligations under the agreement. We have not recorded any liability for this contingent obligation.

Other
We do not have off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations. Inflation has not had any significant impact on our business.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, which will permit the option of choosing to measure certain eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. SFAS Nos. 157 and 159 will become effective for us for fiscal year 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS Nos. 157 and 159, and have not yet determined the likely, if any, impact on our future financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) improves the completeness of the information reported about a business combination by changing the requirements for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies; (c) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (d) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies 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 (for acquisitions closed on or after April 1, 2009 for the Company). Early application is not permitted. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, SFAS No. 141R will have on our consolidated financial statements.

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 new standards for the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (formerly minority interests) and for the loss of control of partially owned and consolidated subsidiaries. SFAS 160 does not change the criteria for consolidating a partially owned entity. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS 160 will be applied prospectively upon adoption except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We have not determined the impact, if any SFAS No. 161 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Revenues:
Revenues increased 206% to $5,552,621 for fiscal 2008 compared to $1,815,014 for the comparable prior year. Product revenues were $4,841,855 from selling eVU players and related equipment for use by airline customers. Content and support service revenues for the year were $710,766. The increase resulted from a full year of eVU product sales. There were limited revenues in the prior year prior to the third fiscal quarter introduction of eVU. We also began recognizing content and support service revenues during fiscal 2008 with no comparable revenues in the prior year.

We are reliant on a limited number of customers with three customers accounting for 30%, 20% and 13% of our fiscal 2008 revenues. Our revenues are dependent on the timing and quantity of eVU orders by a limited number of airline customers. We have not yet developed a sufficient customer base to provide a consistent order flow. The failure to obtain future eVU orders or delays of future orders could have a material impact on our operations and we expect our future quarterly results will vary significantly due to the timing and amount of order deliveries.

Gross Profit:
Gross profit for fiscal 2008 was $1,544,008 or 28% of revenues. The gross profit for the prior year was 56% including a $603,750 impairment reversal benefit described above or 23% on an adjusted comparable basis. The timing and amount of orders and the amount of customer support required can dramatically affect future gross margins and current results are not indicative of future quarters. Management’s goal is to improve gross margins over time from higher revenues, improved economies of scale and improvements in customer support activities.

Operating Expenses:
Total operating expenses (consisting of selling and administrative expenses and research and related expenditures) were $3.0 million and $3.1 million for fiscal year 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Selling and Administrative: For the year ended March 31, 2008, selling and administrative costs were $2.0 million compared to $1.6 million for the comparable prior year. The $361,478 increase in selling and administrative costs consisted primarily of $93,000 of increased compensation costs from increased staffing to support revenue growth, a $103,000 increase in outside commissions and related expenses, an $80,000 increase in audit related costs, a $140,000 increase in legal and legal support costs for business and intellectual property litigation and a $25,000 increase in trade show and advertising costs offset by a $40,000 reduction in depreciation expense. Recent quarterly selling and administrative expenses have been relatively constant as we maintained staffing levels and had no significant outside selling costs. However in the future we may incur additional legal costs associated with current litigation and additional costs to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Otherwise we anticipate quarterly selling and administrative expenses to be relatively constant as we are focused on business customer opportunities with existing staffing.
 
26


Research and Development: For the year ended March 31, 2008, research and development expenditures were $1.0 million as compared to year ended March 31, 2007 of $1.5 million. The decrease of $486,503 consisted primarily of $268,000 reduction in compensation costs including a $33,000 reduction of stock-based compensation expense resulting from staffing reductions in the current year due to the completion of eVU development and also the transfer of certain personnel to service customers. Outside engineering, contractor and preproduction costs decreased by $199,000 as a result of expenditures in the prior year on eVU development.

Research and development costs are subject to significant quarterly variations depending on the use of outside services, the assignment of engineers to development projects and the availability of financial resources.

We reported an operating loss of $1.4 million and $2.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the operating loss in fiscal 2008 resulted from the increased gross profit. The timing and amount of product sales and the recognition of service revenues impact our operating losses. Accordingly, there is uncertainty about future operating results and the results for the year ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily reflective of operating results for future periods.

Other Income and Expenses:
We reported interest expense of $237,020 and $1,357,029 for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The interest expense in 2007 included $1.1 million of non-cash interest related to the amortization of warrants and warrant repricing associated with convertible debt. Interest expense in 2008 included $127,467 of non-cash interest related paid in stock directly and paid as financing fees amortized over the term of related debt. Other expense in fiscal 2008 included $78,860 of financing royalties (2007 - $15,280). Other income of $283,000 in fiscal 2007 was comprised of $0.5 million of gain on debt settlement reduced by $0.2 million of warrant inducement expense.

We reported a loss of $1.7 million and $3.1 million in fiscal year 2008 and 2007, respectively. The net loss available to common stockholders for fiscal year 2008 was increased in computing loss per share by accrued dividends of $81,975 on Series D stock and in 2007 by accrued dividends of $123,000 on Series D and EE stock. No shares of preferred stock remained outstanding at March 31, 2008.

At March 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $1.3 million comparable to the prior year. We had $175,000 and $37,000 of working capital invested in accounts receivable at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our terms to customers vary but we often require payment prior to shipment of product and any such payments are recorded as deposits. We expect certain airline customers to demand commercial terms such as 30 or 60 days in the future and this could increase our need for working capital.
 
27


For the year ended March 31, 2008, net cash decreased by $573,000. Cash used in operating activities was $1,442,000. The major components using cash were a loss of $1.7 million reduced by $127,000 of non-cash interest, $13,000 of depreciation and amortization, a $166,000 warranty provision and $159,000 of stock-based compensation. Cash used in operating activities was also impacted by an increase of $149,000 in accounts payable, $16,000 decrease in prepaids and a $102,500 increase in deferred revenue. The major changes in assets and liabilities using operating cash was a $138,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $180,000 increase in inventory, $97,000 in warranty costs and a decrease of $39,000 in customer deposits.

At March 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $122,000. For the year ended March 31, 2008, cash provided by financing activities was $886,000. We obtained a net of $960,000 from the issuance of common stock, $11,000 from exercise of stock options and $214,000 from the exercise of warrants. We made cash payments on promissory notes of $300,000.
 
Debt and Other Commitments
We currently have a secured note for $450,000 due on June 23, 2008 and an unsecured convertible term debt with a principal amount of $780,065. We made $240,000 of term note principal and interest payments through the issuance of common shares during fiscal 2008. Minimum term note payments in fiscal 2009 are $440,000. Our plans are to make such term note payments with shares of common stock, subject to maintaining the $0.10 minimum share price and other covenants of the term loan.
 
At March 31, 2008 we were committed to approximately $374,000 as purchase commitments for product and components. These orders are generally subject to modification as to timing, quantities and scheduling and in certain instances may be cancelable without penalty.
 
We are also committed for our office lease and for royalties on eVU product sales as more fully described in Note 14 to our financial statements.
 
Cash Requirement
Other than cash on hand, accounts receivable and the Fusion Capital financing commitment, we have no material unused sources of liquidity at this time. Based on our cash position at March 31, 2008 assuming (a) continuation of existing business customer arrangements, and (b) current planned expenditures and level of operation, we believe we will require approximately $1.2 million of additional capital resources for the next twelve months. Actual results could differ significantly from management plans. We believe we may be able to obtain some additional funds from future product margins from product sales but actual future margins to be realized, if any, and the timing of shipments and the amount and quantities of shipments, orders and reorders are subject to many factors and risks, many outside our control. Accordingly we will need equity or debt financing in the next twelve months for working capital and we may need equity or debt financing for payment of existing debt obligations and other obligations reflected on our balance sheet.
 
Our operating plans require additional funds and should additional funds not be available, we may be required to curtail or scale back staffing or operations. Failure to obtain additional financings will have a material adverse affect on our Company. Our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and until then obtaining additional financing. Potential sources of such funds in addition to our common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital include exercise of outstanding warrants and options, or debt financing or additional equity offerings. However, there is no guarantee that warrants and options will be exercised or that debt or equity financing will be available when needed. Any future financing may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

In the future, if our operations increase significantly, we may require additional funds. We also may require additional capital to finance future developments, acquisitions or expansion of facilities. We currently have no plans, arrangements or understandings regarding any acquisitions.

Selected Quarterly Financial Information
 
The following table sets forth unaudited income statement data for each of our last eight quarters. The two quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 have been restated with comparisons to the results as previously reported. The restatement was due to an overstatement of both sales and cost of sales of $104,000 and $62,400 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively, due to a misclassification of supplier material transfers with no effect on gross profit, operating loss or net loss in either quarter or for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

The unaudited quarterly financial information as restated has been prepared on the same basis as the annual information presented elsewhere in the Form 10-K and, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of the information presented. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS & PROCEDURES

Attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K are certifications of our President (“Principal Executive Officer” or “PEO”) and Interim Chief Accounting Officer (“Principal Financial Officer” or “PFO”) that are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications.
 
29


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

At the conclusion of the period ended March 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, were not effective due to the existence of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, discussed below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. We maintain internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reposting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of e.Digital; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of e.Digital; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention and timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of e.Digital’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 using criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This assessment included evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Management’s assessment is supported by testing and monitoring performed by certain of our finance and accounting personnel of the operational effectiveness of our internal control.

Based on this assessment, management identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (i) the lack of independent oversight by an audit committee of independent members of the Board of Directors, and (ii) ineffective controls over the period ending closing process that failed to identify a misclassification of supplier material transfers during the second and third quarter of fiscal 2008. While these material weaknesses did not have an effect on our reported results or any related disclosure, they nevertheless constituted deficiencies in our controls. In light of these material weaknesses management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting needs improvement and was not effective. Due to our small size and limited financial resources we rely on part-time personnel to assist in the closing process with limited knowledge of daily operations. Also due to our size and limited resources it is difficult to attract qualified independent directors and qualified audit committee members. Management has concluded that with certain management oversight controls that are in place, the risks associated with the use of part-time personnel in the closing process and the lack of independent audit committee oversight are not sufficient to justify the costs of adding personnel, additional directors and independent audit committee members at this time. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. If we secure sufficient capital or improve our operating results it is our intention to hire additional full-time accounting and reporting personnel and change the composition and/or size of the Board of Directors with emphasis on recruiting qualified independent audit committee members.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the PEO and PFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions of deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
 
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
e.Digital Corporation
San Diego, CA

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of e.Digital Corporation and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2008 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” on April 1, 2007.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment” on April 1, 2006.

We were not engaged to examine management's assertion about the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and its total liabilities exceeds its total assets. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

e.Digital Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
e.Digital Corporation is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. The Company has innovated a proprietary secure digital video/audio technology platform ("DVAP") and markets the eVU™ mobile entertainment device for the travel and recreational industries. The Company also owns its Flash-R™ portfolio of patents related to the use of flash memory in portable devices and has commenced activities to license the portfolio.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared, by management, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flow from operations in each of the last two years and has an accumulated deficit of $82,081,588 at March 31, 2008 (2007 - $80,362,521). At March 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,292,292. Substantial portions of the losses are attributable to marketing costs of the Company’s products and expenditures on research and development of technologies. The Company’s operating plans require additional funds that may take the form of debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a profitable level of operations.

Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) expanding sales and marketing to new customers and new markets; (b) executing a strategy to monetize the Flash-R patent portfolio; (c) controlling overhead and expenses; and (c) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing. The Company obtained $960,000 of equity proceeds pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion”) during the year ended March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008 the Company could access an estimated $1.4 million of additional funding pursuant to this agreement (or a maximum of up to $7 million at higher stock prices). Future availability under the Fusion agreement is subject to many conditions, some of which are predicated on events that are not within the Company’s control. There can be no assurance this capital resource will be available or be sufficient.

There can be no assurance the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing pursuant to the Fusion financing agreement or otherwise. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may elect or be required to seek protection from creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements:

Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, e.Digital Corporation (a company incorporated in the State of California). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable trade, other accounts payable and accrued liabilities, preferred stock and promissory notes. Management has determined that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalent, accounts receivable, accounts payable trade and other accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued employee benefits approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. Management has determined that the carrying value of the preferred stock and promissory notes approximates its fair value based on discounted cash flows at market rates.

Translation of foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Other balance sheet items and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates prevailing on the respective transaction dates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, which have not been material, are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the loss of an entity. At March 31, 2008, stock options, warrants and notes exercisable into 15,828,957 shares of common stock were outstanding (2007 – 36,564,110). These securities were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they are antidilutive, but they could potentially dilute earnings (loss) per share in future years.

The provisions of each of the Company’s former series D and EE of preferred stock provided for a 12% and 8% per annum accretion, respectively in the conversion value (similar to a dividend). These amounts increased the net loss available to common stockholders. All such shares of preferred stock had been converted into common stock by March 31, 2008. Net loss available to common stockholders is computed as follows:

Guarantees and indemnifications
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others -- an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FIN 34.” The following is a summary of the Company’s agreements that the Company has determined are within the scope of FIN No. 45:

F-8


e.Digital Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008

The Company provides a one year limited warranty for most of its products. See “Warranty Liabilities.”

Some of the Company’s product sales and services agreements include a limited indemnification provision for claims from third parties relating to the Company’s intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 5, ‘‘Accounting for Contingencies.’’ The indemnification is generally limited to the amount paid by the customer. To date, there have been no claims under such indemnification provisions.

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment of a product to the customer, FOB shipping point, or upon acceptance by the customer depending on the specific contract terms, if a signed contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of resulting receivables is probable and there are no resulting obligations. Research and development contract revenues on short-term projects or service revenue is recognized once the services or product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable and there are no resulting obligations. If all of the service or product has been delivered and there is one element that is more than perfunctory to the services or product that has not been delivered, revenue will be deferred and recognized evenly over the remaining term of the undelivered element.

During fiscal 2008 service revenues included revenue from coding, encrypting and integrating content for periodic uploading to hardware players. Revenue is recognized upon acceptance of the content master file by the customer if the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of the resulting receivables is probable and there are no resulting obligations.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”) and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”), when an arrangement contains multiple elements with standalone value, such as hardware and content or other services, revenue is allocated based on the fair value of each element as evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence. Such evidence consists primarily of pricing of multiple elements as if sold as separate products or services. The Company defers revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognizes revenue when the product is delivered or over the period in which the service is performed, in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy for such element. If the Company cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in a multiple-element arrangement, revenue is deferred until all elements are delivered and/or services have been performed, or until the Company can objectively determine the fair value of all remaining undelivered elements.

Revenue from separately priced extended warranty or product replacement arrangements is deferred and recognized to income on a straight-line basis over the contract period. The Company evaluates these arrangements to determine if there are excess costs greater than future revenues to be recorded as a loss.

Funds received in advance of meeting the criteria for revenue recognition are deferred and are recorded as revenue as they are earned. Any amounts related to periods beyond twelve months are considered long-term deferred revenue.

Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: (i) monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and (ii) revenue and expenses at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period. Exchange gains or losses are included in other income (expense) for the reporting period. To date foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in European countries. Foreign currency gain for the year ended March 31, 2008 was $20,515 (2007-$-0-).

Deferred revenue and deposits
Deferred revenue and deposits relates primarily to prepaid extended warranty arrangements and product sales or services paid but not delivered at period end. The Company has certain customer arrangements providing for multiple year content services. To the extent deferred services are to be provided beyond twelve months they are treated as long-term.

Shipping and handling costs and sales taxes
Amounts paid by customers for shipping and handling and for sales taxes are included in product revenues. Actual shipping and handling costs and sales taxes are included in product cost of revenues.
 
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist principally of investments in short-term money market instruments.
 
Deposits and prepaid expenses
Deposits and prepaid expenses are recorded at amounts paid to suppliers or others. Amounts recorded are evaluated for impairment each reporting period. During fiscal 2007 a contract manufacturer delivered to the Company products against a $603,750 deposit that had been previously considered impaired and the impairment charge was reversed at the time of recognition of revenue to the customer (fiscal 2007). Cost of revenues for fiscal 2007 was reduced by the reversal of this charge upon delivery of products to the Company’s customer.
 
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Carrying value of inventory is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected benefit is less than carrying value.
 
Due to the use of a turn-key contract manufacturers for major products and accessories, the Company does not generally take title until receipt of finished goods and accordingly does not normally maintain significant inventories of raw materials or assemblies. See Note 14 for purchase commitments.
 
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss on the disposition is credited or charged to income. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations when incurred.
 
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include third party costs relating to obtaining patents, which are deferred when management is reasonably certain the patent will be granted. Such costs are amortized to operations over the life of the patent. If management determines that development of products to which patent costs relate is not reasonably certain, or that deferred patent costs exceed net recoverable value, such costs are charged to operations. Intangible assets also include website development costs incurred during the application development stage of the Company’s website which have been capitalized and were amortized over a two year period on the straight-line method. All other patent and website related costs are charged to operations when incurred. Amounts recorded are evaluated for impairment each reporting period. 
 
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company expensed $37,503 and $1,020 for the years ending March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Warranty liability
The Company warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period ranging up to one year from the date of purchase, depending on the product. The warranty is generally a limited warranty, and in some instances imposes certain shipping costs on the customer. The Company currently provides warranty service directly and through subcontractors. Some agreements with customers require certain quantities of product be made available for use as warranty replacements. International market warranties are generally similar to the U.S. market.

F-10


e.Digital Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008

The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold and anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period. See Note 10 for additional information regarding warranties.

Other income (expense)
Interest and other income for the year ended March 31, 2008 includes interest income of $599 (2007 - $12,729), a total of $20,000 (2007 - $-0-) from the sale of trademark rights and $20,515 (2007 - $-0-) of foreign exchange income.

Interest expense includes interest expense and non-cash amortization of debt discounts.

The other category includes financing related royalty expense of $78,860 for the year ended March 31, 2008 (2007 - $15,280) and for the year ended March 31, 2007 includes $230,709 of warrant inducement expense and also in 2007 a $515,345 gain from a debt settlement. The warrant inducement expense represented the fair value of 2,331,572 warrants issued as an inducement for early exercise of 9,442,750 outstanding warrants resulting in proceeds of $893,701. The debt settlement gain arose from the reversal of a lease termination liability deemed extinguished under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 26, “Early Extinguishment of Debtas a result of the tolling of the statute of limitations on recovery by the lessor.

Leases
Leases entered into are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases, which substantially transfer all benefits and risks of ownership of property to the Company, are accounted for as capital leases. At the time a capital lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the purchase and financing. Rental payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.

Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes," the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company provides a full valuation reserve related to its net deferred tax assets. In the future, if sufficient evidence of an ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions becomes apparent, the Company may be required to reduce the valuation allowances, resulting in income tax benefits in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and assesses the need for valuation allowance quarterly. The utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards could be substantially limited due to restrictions imposed under federal and state laws upon a change in ownership.

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”) on April 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax provisions and the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2007 was $-0-. At the adoption date of April 1, 2007, deferred tax assets were fully reserved by a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to zero, the amount that more likely than not is expected to be realized. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the Act) provides pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 for a limitation of the annual use of net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards (following certain ownership changes, as defined by the Act) that could significantly limit the Company's ability to utilize these carryforwards. The Company has experienced various ownership changes as a result of past financings and could experience future ownership changes. The Company has not performed an analysis of its deferred tax assets for net operating losses or any possible research and development credits. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and the offsetting valuation allowance have been removed from deferred tax assets until such an analysis is documented.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The tax years 2003 through 2007 remain open under the statue of limitations to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which we are subject. However, due to net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) from prior periods, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could potentially review the losses related to NOL-generating years back to 1992.

Stock based compensation
The Company has adopted stock plans as summarized in Note 13 below. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share Based Payment”, effective April 1, 2006 using a modified prospective application, which provides for certain changes to the method for valuing share-based compensation. Under the modified prospective application, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and subsequently modified or cancelled. Estimated compensation expense for awards outstanding at the effective date is recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123). Prior to April 1, 2006 the Company followed the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations for stock compensation.

Options or stock awards issued to non-employees who are not directors of the Company are recorded at their estimated fair value at the measurement date in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services,” and are periodically revalued as the options vest and are recognized as expense over the related service period on a graded vesting method. Stock options issued to consultants with performance conditions are measured and recognized when the performance is complete.

The Company recorded $158,671 and $254,275 of stock compensation expense for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The amounts of stock-based compensation expense are classified in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:

Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. For the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no material differences between comprehensive loss and net loss for the year.

Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles held for use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or if changes in facts and circumstances indicate, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the asset’s fair value.

Segment information

The Company identifies its operating segments based on how management internally evaluates separate financial information (if available), business activities and management responsibility. The Company believes it operates in a single business segment, the development, manufacture and marketing of electronic technology and products for portable digital devices.

Common stock issued for services or payments
The Company records compensation expense for common stock issued for services based on the estimated fair market value. Estimated fair market value is determined based on the quoted closing-bid stock price on the day of issuance or the market price defined in any underlying agreement as long as such price closely approximates market price.

Derivative instruments
The Company values derivative instruments in accordance with the interpretative guidance of FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, and EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with embedded conversion features. The Company makes certain assumptions and estimates to value its derivative liabilities. Factors affecting these liabilities and values include changes in the stock price and other assumptions.

Reclassifications and Quarterly Restatement
Certain amounts included in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no affect on the reported net loss. The Company has also restated the results for the two quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 to correct for a misclassification of supplier material transfers that overstated both revenues and cost of sales in the two quarters but did not impact operating loss or net loss for any previously reported period. See Note 15.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, which will permit the option of choosing to measure certain eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. SFAS Nos. 157 and 159 will become effective for us for fiscal year 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS Nos. 157 and 159, and has not yet determined the likely, if any, impact on its future financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) improves the completeness of the information reported about a business combination by changing the requirements for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies; (c) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (d) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies 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 (for acquisitions closed on or after April 1, 2009 for the Company). Early application is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, SFAS No. 141R will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 new standards for the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (formerly minority interests) and for the loss of control of partially owned and consolidated subsidiaries. SFAS 160 does not change the criteria for consolidating a partially owned entity. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS 160 will be applied prospectively upon adoption except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any SFAS No. 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments totaling $233,349 (2007 - $655,798) that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with two financial institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations.

Amounts due from three customers comprised approximately 32%, 24% and 22% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2008 (2007- one customer comprised 86%).

4. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
The Company operates in one major line of business, the development, manufacture and marketing of electronic products. Sales to three customers comprised approximately 30%, 20% and 13% of revenues respectively in fiscal 2008 (2007 - two customers comprised approximately 53% and 39%). The Company purchases its primary components from three suppliers accounting for 61%, 14% and 10% of total purchases respectively for fiscal 2008. Purchased from one supplier accounted for 73% of total purchases for fiscal 2007. The provision for doubtful accounts receivable at March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $-0-.

On December 12, 2006 the Company exchanged the balance of two short-term 15% Unsecured Promissory Notes due December 31, 2006 for (i) a new 7.5% Convertible Subordinated Term Note, with principal and interest payable monthly, in the principal amount of $970,752 due November 30, 2009 and (ii) 500,000 shares of common stock representing consideration for extending the maturity date and reducing the interest rate from 15% to 7.5%. As a consequence of the exchange, the previously outstanding 15% Unsecured Promissory Notes due December 31, 2006 were cancelled.

The Company evaluated the note exchange under FASB No. 15 “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings” and determined that no gain or loss should be recorded as a result of the exchange. The fair value of the 500,000 shares issued of $77,500 is a debt discount being amortized over the term of the note using the interest method.

The 7.5% Convertible Subordinated Term Note provided for monthly principal and interest installments of $6,000 starting December 2006, increased to $15,000 in February 2007, increased to $30,000 starting in December 2007 and $50,000 in December 2008 with maturity November 30, 2009. Commencing with the February 2007 installment payment, the Company had the option, subject to certain limitations, to elect to make such installment payments either in cash or in shares of common stock (“Monthly Installment Shares”). Monthly Installment Shares are valued at the arithmetic average of the closing prices for the last five trading days of the applicable month without discount. Installment note payments must be paid in cash if the computed average price is less than $0.10 per share. Subject to certain notice periods and other limitations, the balance of the note is convertible by the holder at $0.30 per common share and the Company may elect to call the note for mandatory conversion if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock is at least $0.40 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The Company may also prepay the note in full or in minimum payments of $50,000 on ten-day notice. The note may be subordinate to certain future senior indebtedness.

The Company made note payments in February and March 2007 (fiscal 2007 - $30,000 representing 154,459 shares of common stock) and April 2007 through March 2008 (fiscal 2008 - $240,000 representing 1,623,808 shares of common stock) in shares of common stock. Subsequent to March 31, 2008 through May 31, 2008 the Company made two monthly note payments aggregating $60,000 through the issuance of 511,083 shares of common stock.

In March 2007 the Company obtained $750,000 in short-term purchase order financing from a commercial lender pursuant to an 18% secured promissory note with interest payable monthly for any full or partial month the principal is outstanding subject to a security agreement providing a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company has made principal reductions of $300,000. Effective with the latest amendment dated December 23, 2007, the remaining $450,000 balance of the note was extended to June 23, 2008. The note, as amended and restated, contains no prepayment fee and provides customary late payment penalties and default provisions. On April 2, 2007 the Company paid a $15,000 finance charge by issuing 73,385 restricted shares of common stock with such finance charge being amortized over the original note term. On October 9, 2007 the Company paid an additional $6,500 finance charge by issuing 34,537 restricted shares of common stock. Upon the December 23, 2007 amendment the Company paid an additional $9,000 finance charge by issuing 69,659 restricted shares of common stock.

12% Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes and Related Royalty Obligation
During the period September through December 2006 an aggregate of $1,500,000 of previously issued 12% Convertible Subordinated Promissory notes were converted into 18,750,000 common shares and related remaining debt discount (arising from the value of warrants issued with the debt and conversion price and warrant exercise price antidilution adjustments) was charged as non-cash interest expense. Noteholders that acquired $500,000 of 12% Subordinated Promissory Notes are entitled to receive a royalty (in lieu of the warrants granted to original purchasers of such notes) equal to (i) the principal of the notes purchased divided by (ii) $500,000 multiplied by (iii) Twenty Dollars ($20.00) for each entertainment device sold during the calendar years of 2006, 2007 and 2008.

The Company recorded in other income and expenses royalty expense related to the $500,000 of notes as described above of $78,860 for the year ended March 31, 2008 (2007 - $15,280).

11. INCOME TAXES
There is no net provision for income taxes in 2008 and 2007 as the Company incurred losses in each year. Our federal statutory tax rate is 35% while our effective tax rate is 0%. Differences between the federal statutory and effective tax rates result from the establishment of a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets to zero.

The Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards available at March 31, 2008 of approximately $58,700,000 (2007 - $57,400,000) that will begin to expire in 2008. The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of $18,600,000 (2007 - $17,240,000) that will begin to expire in 2010. The difference between federal and state net operating loss carryforwards is due to certain percentage limitations of California loss carryforwards and to expired California carryforwards.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007 and commenced analyzing filing positions in the jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax provisions and the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2007 was $-0-. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the Act) provides pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 for a limitation of the annual use of NOL and research and development tax credit carryforwards (following certain ownership changes, as defined by the Act) that could significantly limit the Company's ability to utilize these carryforwards. The Company has experienced various ownership changes as a result of past financings and could experience future ownership changes. The Company's ability to utilize the aforementioned carryforwards may therefore be significantly limited. Additionally, because U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be applied against future taxes, the Company may not be able to take full advantage of these reduced attributes for federal income tax purposes. The Company has not performed an analysis of its deferred tax assets for net operating losses or any possible research and development credits sufficient to meet the more likely than not threshold required by FIN 48. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and the offsetting valuation allowance were removed from deferred tax assets at April 1, 2007 until such an analysis is documented.

The Company’s deferred tax liabilities were $36,000 and $580,000 at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As discussed above, as of April 1, 2007, the Company removed its net operating losses from deferred tax assets and the offsetting valuation allowance until documented by a Section 382 analysis. The remaining deferred tax assets at March 31, 2008 were $210,000 and deferred tax assets at March 31, 2007 were $21,820,000 including the net operating losses. A full valuation allowance of $174,000 and $21,240,000 was established to offset the net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as realization of these assets is uncertain. As of March 31, 2008, management believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized based on future operations and reversal of deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and no tax benefit has been recognized relative to its pretax losses.

On January 2, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion”) pursuant to which the Company (a) sold 4,166,666 common shares for $500,000 cash at $0.12 per share, and (b) has the right, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to sell to Fusion up to $8.0 million worth of additional common stock, at the Company’s election, over a two year period at prices determined based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of each sale, without any fixed discount to the market price as defined in the agreement. Common stock may be sold in $80,000 increments every fourth business day, with additional $100,000 increments available every third business day if the market price of the common stock is $0.10 or higher. This $100,000 increment may be further increased at graduated levels up to $1.0 million if the market price increases from $0.10 to $0.80. If the price of the stock is below $0.08 per share, no sales shall be made under the agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of common stock to Fusion for no consideration as a commitment fee and 200,000 shares of common stock as an expense reimbursement fee. The fair value of the 3,700,000 shares was $629,000 and recorded as offering costs along with legal and related direct costs of $52,403. A total of $52,819 of these costs were associated with the January 2007 sale of common stock and $628,584 (balance at March 31, 2007) was recorded as prepaid transaction costs and then discounted against subsequent stock sales during fiscal 2008.
 
A total of 15,000,000 shares were registered for sale under a related registration rights agreement declared effective on February 9, 2007, accordingly the Company was limited to selling the lesser of 15,000,000 shares or $8 million. The Company is required to maintain effectiveness of the registration statement until the earlier of the date that Fusion may sell the shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) or the date that Fusion has sold all registered shares and no available unpurchased shares remain under the agreement. Upon occurrence of certain events of default as defined, including lapse of effectiveness of the registration statement for 10 or more consecutive business days or for 30 or more business days within a 365-day period, suspension of trading for 3 consecutive business days, delisting of the shares from the principal market on which they are traded, failure by the stock transfer agent to issue shares within 5 business days, or other material breaches, Fusion may terminate the stock purchase agreement. The Company may terminate the agreement at any time.

13. BENEFIT PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans
The Company has stock options outstanding under two stock option plans. The 1994 Stock Option Plan entitled certain directors, key employees and consultants of the Company to purchase common shares of the Company. The 1994 Plan covered a maximum aggregate of 14,000,000 shares, as amended and expired on August 18, 2004. At March 31, 2008 there were options outstanding on 2,827,500 common shares pursuant to the 1994 Plan.

The 2005 Equity-Based Compensation Plan was approved by the stockholders on August 5, 2005 and covers a maximum of 10,000,000 common shares. The Company may grant incentive options, nonstatutory options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards to employees, directors or consultants. At March 31, 2008 there were options outstanding on 6,319,667 common shares pursuant to the 2005 Plan with options on 3,630,833 shares available for future grant under the 2005 Plan.

The Company has granted options outside the above plans as inducements to new employees and for the continued service of key employees. At March 31, 2008 there were options outstanding on 1,750,000 common shares from grants outside the stock option plans.

Stock-Based Compensation Information Under SFAS No. 123R)
The following table sets forth the weighted-average key assumptions and fair value results for stock options granted during the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (annualized percentages):

   
Year Ended March 31,

Weighted-average fair value of options granted

$0.11
 

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The Company has a small number or option grants and limited exercise history and accordingly has for all new option grants applied the simplified method prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, Share-Based Payment: Certain Assumptions Used in Valuation Methods - Expected Term, to estimate expected life (computed as vesting term plus contractual term divided by two). The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical experience. Additional expense is recorded when the actual forfeiture rates are lower than estimated and a recovery of prior expense will be recorded if the actual forfeitures are higher than estimated.

Since the Company has a net operating loss carryforward as of March 31, 2008, no excess tax benefit for the tax deductions related to stock-based awards was recognized for the year ended March 31, 2008. Additionally, no incremental tax benefits were recognized from stock options exercised during the year ended March 31, 2008 that would have resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities.

As of March 31, 2008 total estimated compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested was approximately $55,257 and is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.2 years.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

Business Litigation
In May 2006, the Company announced that a complaint had been filed against the Company and certain of its officers and employees by digEcor, Inc. in the Third Judicial District Court of Utah, County of Salt Lake. The complaint alleged breaches of contract, unjust enrichment, breaches of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and interference with prospective economic relations. digEcor sought, among other things, an injunction to prevent the Company from selling or licensing certain digital rights management technology and “from engaging in any competition with digEcor until after 2009.” digEcor also sought “actual damages” of $793,750 and “consequential damages...not less than an additional $1,000,000.” This action was related to a purchase order the Company placed for this customer in the normal course of business on November 11, 2005 for 1,250 digEplayers™ with a contract manufacturer, Maycom Co., Ltd. Maycom was paid in full for the order by both e.Digital and digEcor by March 2006, but Maycom failed to timely deliver the order. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $603,750 in March 2006 for deposits paid to Maycom due to the uncertainty of obtaining future delivery. In October 2006 the Company received delivery from Maycom of the delayed 1,250-unit digEplayer order and delivered the order to digEcor. The Company recognized $713,750 of revenue from this order and reversed an impairment charge of $603,750 in its third fiscal 2007 quarter.

e.Digital Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008

The Company has answered the complaint. The case is currently in the discovery phase. In January 2007, the Court ruled on certain motions of the parties. In its ruling, the Court dismissed digEcor’s unjust enrichment, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortuous interference and punitive damage claims. The Court further acknowledged the delivery of the 1,250-unit order and a partial settlement between the parties reducing digEcor’s claim for purchase-price or actual damages from $793,750 to $94,846 with such amount still being disputed by e.Digital. digEcor’s contract and damages claims remain in dispute, and the Court provided some interpretation of the contracts at issue in its ruling. digEcor subsequently amended its Complaint to assert an alternative breach of contract claim, and claims for federal, state and common law unfair competition, and sought an injunction prohibiting the Company “from engaging in any competition with digEcor until after 2013.”  In April 2007 digEcor filed a motion for summary judgment seeking enforcement of an alleged noncompete provision and an injunction prohibiting the Company from competing with digEcor. In October 2007 the Court denied, without prejudice, digEcor’s motion for partial summary judgment and a request for injunction. The foregoing and other findings of the Court may be subject to appeal by either party.

The Company believes it has substantive and multiple defenses and intends to vigorously challenge this matter. Due to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation, however, there can be no assurance whether the Company will or will not prevail in its defense against digEcor’s remaining claims. The Company is also unable to determine at this time the impact this complaint and matter may have on its financial position or results of operations. The Company has an accrual of $80,000 as an estimate of a deposit obligation related to the remaining general damage claim and the Company intends to seek restitution from Maycom for any damages it may incur but recovery from Maycom is not assured. Maycom is not involved in the design, tooling or production of the Company’s proprietary eVU mobile product. Moreover, the Company does not presently plan or expect to produce or sell digEplayer models to digEcor or other customers in the future.

In April 2007 the Company filed a second amended counterclaim in the United States District Court of Utah seeking a declaratory judgment confirming the status of prior agreements between the parties, alleging breach of e.Digital’s confidential information and trade secrets by digEcor, seeking an injunction against digEcor’s manufacture and sale of a portable product based on the Company’s technology, alleging breach of duty to negotiate regarding revenue sharing dollars the Company believes it has the right to receive and tortious interference by digEcor in the Company’s contracts with third parties. The Company intends to vigorously prosecute these counterclaims. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will prevail on any of its counterclaims.

Intellectual Property Litigation
In March 2008, the Company filed a complaint against Avid Technology, Casio America, LG Electronics USA, Nikon, Olympus America, Samsung Electronics America, and Sanyo North America in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting that products made by the listed companies infringe four of the Company's U.S. patents covering the use of flash memory technology. These patents are part of the Company’s Flash-R™ patent portfolio. In September 2007 the Company filed a similar suit in the same jurisdiction against Vivitar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian. The Company intends to pursue its claims vigorously but the litigation is in the early stage and there is no assurance of recovery. Although most fees, costs and expenses of the litigation are covered under the Company’s arrangement with Duane Morris LLP as described below, the Company may incur support and related expenses for this litigation that may become material.

Commitment Related to Intellectual Property Legal Services
On March 23, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement for legal services and a contingent fee arrangement with Duane Morris LLP. The agreement provides that Duane Morris will be the Company’s exclusive legal counsel in connection with the assertion of the Company’s flash memory related patents against infringers (“Patent Enforcement Matters’).

F-22


e.Digital Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
 
Duane Morris has agreed to handle the Company’s Patent Enforcement Matters and certain related appeals on a contingent fee basis. Duane Morris also has agreed to advance certain costs and expenses including travel expenses, court costs and expert fees. The Company has agreed to pay Duane Morris a fee equal to 40% of any license or litigation recovery related to Patent Enforcement Matters, after recovery of expenses, and 50% of recovery if appeal is necessary.

In the event the Company is acquired or sold or elects to sell the covered patents or upon certain other corporate events or in the event the Company terminates the agreement for any reason, then Duane Morris shall be entitled to collect accrued costs and a fee equal to three times overall time and expenses accrued in connection with the agreement and a fee of 15% of a good faith estimate of the overall value of the covered patents. The Company has provided Duane Morris a lien and a security interest in the covered patents to secure its obligations under the agreement.

Contract Manufacturers and Suppliers
The Company depends on contract manufacturers and suppliers to (i) allocate sufficient capacity to its manufacturing needs, (ii) produce acceptable quality products at agreed pricing and (iii) deliver on a timely basis. If a manufacturer is unable to satisfy these requirements, the Company's business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. Any failure in performance by either of these manufacturers for any reason could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business. Production and pricing by such manufacturers is subject to the risk of price fluctuations and periodic shortages of components. The Company does not have supply agreements with component suppliers and, accordingly, it is dependent on the future ability of its manufacturers to purchase components. Failure or delay by suppliers in supplying necessary components could adversely affect the Company's ability to deliver products on a timely and competitive basis in the future.

At March 31, 2008 the Company had outstanding unfilled purchase orders and was committed to a contract manufacturers and component suppliers for approximately $374,000 of future deliveries.

Facility Lease
In March 2006 the Company entered into a sixty-two month lease, commencing June 1, 2006, for approximately 4,800 square feet with an aggregate monthly payment of $5,980 excluding utilities and costs. The aggregate payments adjust annually with maximum aggregate payments totaling $6,535 in the fifty-first through the sixty-second month. Office rent expense recorded by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2008 was $86,397 (2007 - $91,932).

Royalties
In connection with a prior note financing (see Note 9), the Company is obligated to pay a royalty of $20.00 for each entertainment device sold through December 31, 2008.
 
15. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (unaudited)

The following table sets forth unaudited income statement data for each of the Company’s last eight quarters. The two quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 have been restated with comparisons to the results as previously reported. The restatement was due to an overstatement of both sales and cost of sales of $104,000 and $62,400 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively, due to a misclassification of supplier material transfers with no effect on gross profit, operating loss or net loss in either quarter or for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
