1. The Company, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company:

Handheld Entertainment, Inc., was formed in February 2003 as a California corporation. On February 10, 2006 we merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vika Corp., a Delaware inactive publicly held corporation, with Handheld Entertainment, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”) as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Vika Corp. We then changed the name of Vika Corp. to Handheld Entertainment, Inc. and the name of the subsidiary to HHE Corp. On April 12, 2006 we merged the Subsidiary into Handheld Entertainment, Inc. The above transactions were accounted for as a recapitalization of Handheld Entertainment, Inc., the California corporation. All references to “us”, “we” “our” or “the Company” refer to the recapitalized entity, Handheld Entertainment Inc. and all historical operations in the accompanying financial statements are those of Handheld Entertainment, Inc., as recapitalized. On August 14, 2006 we affected a 1.45 for 1 reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock. All share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively changed to account for the recapitalization and reverse split. On October 31, 2007, we changed our name to “ZVUE Corporation” from “Handheld Entertainment, Inc.”

Basis of Presentation:

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2007 is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31,2007 on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, these financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Going Concern:

These consolidated financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2008 of $48,777. Because of past losses, and a history of negative cash flows from operations, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2007 included a paragraph in their report indicating substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

With our available cash of $4.6 million at March 31, 2008 and $3.7 million available from a financing agreement with a related party and the expected growth in our business, we believe that we have sufficient funds and anticipated future cash flows to continue in operation at least through the end of 2008. While we have invested in our content and product strategy, we believe that based on our current cash and working capital position, our existing borrowing capacity, and our assessment of how potential equity investors will view us and the expected growth in our business, we will be able to execute our business plan successfully and continue operations through December 2008. The forecast that our financial resources will last through that period is a forward-looking statement that involves significant risks and uncertainties. It is reasonably possible that should we require additional financing, we will not be able to obtain it to continue operations. Furthermore, any additional equity or convertible debt financing will be dilutive to existing shareholders and may involve preferential rights over common shareholders. Debt financing, with or without equity conversion features, may involve restrictive covenants. We may seek additional equity and/or debt financing to sustain our growth strategy although as of the date of these financial statements, our financial projections do not indicate that our existing operations and our expected growth plans will require us to. Our business plan is based on our ability to generate future revenues from the sale of advertising on our network of humor-based websites as well as the take advantage of the projected growth of our product business which we expect to be able to market and sell our existing and future products through our established retail channel. However, the time required for us to become profitable from operations is highly uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain operating profitability or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our planned capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements.

Principles of Consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include the allowance on accounts receivable, inventory reserves, the valuation and useful life of acquired web sites, the valuation of goodwill, the fair value of stock-based awards issued, and estimates of allowances for product sales returns. Actual results could differ.

Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of finished goods, are valued at the lower of cost or market and are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventories were valued at $666 as of March 31, 2008 and $360 as of December 31, 2007.

Foreign Currency:

The accompanying financial statements are presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary, Putfile Limited, is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in operations in the period incurred.

Segment information:

The Company operates in a single segment - Media Distribution.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and debt approximates carrying value due to the short maturity of such instruments.

Reclassifications:
 
Certain amounts in the accompanying 2007 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (generally a purchase order), product has been shipped, the sale price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting account is reasonably assured. We record the associated revenue at the time of the sale net of estimated returns. The Company follows the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 01-9 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer" and (EITF) Issue 02-16 "Accounting By a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Considerations Received from Vendors." Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products. Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Advertising revenues includes amounts charged to customers for advertisements placed on our web sites and is recognized in the period when the advertisements are placed on our web sites. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” the revenue derived from these arrangements that involve the use of third party advertising agencies where the Company is the primary obligor and has the risks and rewards of ownership are reported at the gross amount of the advertising revenue, with agency commissions and ad serving fees being reported as cost of revenues. For arrangements where the Company sells direct to advertisers or sells through third parties that have significant control over the sales process, the Company recognizes as revenue only the net proceeds it receives.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Suppliers:

At March 31, 2008, three customers accounted for 27%, 26% and 17% of gross accounts receivable before the allowance for doubtful accounts. At March 31, 2007, one customer accounted for 54% of gross accounts receivable before the allowance for doubtful accounts.

One advertising customer accounted for 40% of the net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008. In the three months ended March 31, 2007, one product customer represented 44% of our revenues. The Company is therefore materially dependent upon certain customers. Due to the nature of our business and the relative size of the contracts, which are entered into in the ordinary course of business, the loss of any single significant customer, including the above customers, would have a material adverse effect on our results.

Our ZVUE 260 was manufactured by one factory in China. Our next model player is to be manufactured by a different factory also in China. Purchases were $295 and $290 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Any disruption of the manufacturing process as a result of political, economic, foreign exchange or other reasons could be disruptive to our operations. We have no reason to expect such a disruption but we believe that, if necessary, production could be reestablished in other territories in a reasonable period of time at reasonable terms. This is, however, a forward-looking statement that involves significant risks and uncertainties. It is possible that relocation of production, if it were to become necessary, would take longer and be more expensive than anticipated.

In general, no product was sold during the first three months of 2008. During the first three months of 2007, product sales were derived primarily from the sale of one product model, the ZVUE Model 250.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expenses pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R, which requires that all share- based payments, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized as an expense in the statement of operations based on their grant date fair values and vesting periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

FASB Statement No. 141(R),"Business Combinations", (“SFAS 141(R)”): In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued No. 141R which will change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions. The most significant changes in the accounting for business combinations under SFAS 141(R) include: (1) valuation of any acquirer shares issued as purchase consideration will be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date; (2) contingent purchase consideration, if any, will generally be measured and recorded at the acquisition date, at fair value, with any subsequent change in fair value reflected in earnings rather than through an adjustment to the purchase price allocation; (3) acquired in-process research and development costs, which have historically been expensed immediately upon acquisition, will now be capitalized at their acquisition date fair values, measured for impairment over the remaining development period and, upon completion of a successful development project, amortized to expense over the asset's estimated useful life; (4) acquisition related costs will be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as part of the purchase price allocation; and (5) acquisition related restructuring cost accruals will be reflected within the acquisition accounting only if certain specific criteria are met as of the acquisition date; the prior accounting convention, which permitted an acquirer to record restructuring accruals within the purchase price allocation as long as certain, broad criteria had been met, generally around formulating, finalizing and communicating certain exit activities, will no longer be permitted. SFAS 141(R) is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company anticipates that adoption of this pronouncement will significantly impact how the Company accounts for business combination transactions consummated after the effective date, in the various areas outlined above.

SFAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”): In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, this Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is required to be adopted simultaneously with SFAS 141R and is effective for reporting periods on or after December 15, 2008. An earlier adoption is not permitted. Currently, the Company does not have any non-controlling interest in our subsidiary and accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”): In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 did not impact our financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB No. 157”): In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (FSP 157-1) and FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2). FSP 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The measurement and disclosure requirements related to financial assets and financial liabilities are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, the resulting fair values calculated under SFAS No. 157 after adoption may be different from the fair values that would have been calculated under previous guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when it is applied to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities beginning in the first quarter of 2010.

In addition, on March 13, 2008, the holders of our Junior secured convertible debentures received 376,747 shares of our common stock in lieu of a cash payment due of $142 for principal and $140 for accrued interest.

The note is convertible into 186,306 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.29.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters:
On December 21, 2007, Edward John Kowal filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington, against us seeking to enforce the bonus provisions of his employment contract and receive bonus compensation based on the projected value of the eBaum’s World, Inc. acquisition completed in October 2007 in the amount of approximately $2.6 million plus legal fees (Edward John Kowal v. ZVUE Corporation, Case No. 07-2-40332-9). The Company disputes the facts of the case and intends to vigorously defend itself. At March 31, 2008, no trial date has been set and discovery has not commenced.

Other Contingencies:
The Company has several non-cancelable operating lease agreements primarily for office space to host some of its servers in New York. Future minimum payments under the non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Although there are no rights of return arrangements with our retail customers other than the normal 90-day consumer product return policy, major retailers may require manufacturers and distributors to provide them various inventory and price protections and incentives. Major retailers may require a variety of protections, including holdbacks on payment, reducing the price paid if the retailer cannot sell the product or the product requires discounting, or requiring the manufacturer to buy back unsold goods. If our products do not sell as well as we or retail distributors anticipate, such protections could lead to excess inventory and costs, and our becoming subject to significant holdback and repayment obligations, which may be arbitrary and difficult or impossible to contest without jeopardizing our relationship with a retailer. We may be unable to recover from our manufacturers any amounts that we will be required to pay or allow to our retailers. Accordingly, these obligations could significantly impair our cash flow, revenues and financial condition.
 
The Company may, as a result of its acquisition of eBaum’s World, Inc., be required to pay as much as $29.2 million in earn out payments through March 2010. In addition, the Company may be required to buy back certain common shares issued to the Sellers of eBaum’s World, Inc. if certain defaults were to occur.

7. Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted loss per share was calculated as follows:

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and fair value per share:

The expected term of the options of five years is based on utilizing the simplified method under SAB 107. The expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a term equivalent to the expected term of the stock options. The Company has not paid dividends in the past.

Stock-based compensation expense from the issuance of stock options recognized under SFAS 123R for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 was $122 and $105, respectively. As of March 31, 2008, the aggregate stock compensation remaining to be amortized to expenses was $357. The Company expects this stock compensation balance to be amortized as follows: $144 during the remainder of 2008; $113 during 2009; and $100 during 2010. The expected amortization reflects only outstanding stock awards as of March 31, 2008.

The weighted average fair value per share of the stock option awards in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.77 and $3.12, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company received proceeds of $79 from the exercise of options for 229,794 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.145 to $0.537 per share.

Corporate History
 
Handheld Entertainment, Inc., was formed in February 2003 as a California corporation. On February 10, 2006 we merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vika Corp., a Delaware inactive publicly held corporation, with Handheld Entertainment, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”) as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Vika Corp. We then changed the name of Vika Corp. to Handheld Entertainment, Inc. and the name of the subsidiary to HHE Corp. On April 12, 2006 we merged the Subsidiary into Handheld Entertainment, Inc. The above transactions were accounted for as a recapitalization of Handheld Entertainment, Inc., the California corporation. All references to “us”, “we” “our” or “the Company” refer to the recapitalized entity, Handheld Entertainment Inc. and all historical operations in the accompanying financial statements are those of Handheld Entertainment, Inc., as recapitalized. On August 14, 2006 we affected a 1.45 for 1 reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock. All share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively changed to account for the recapitalization and reverse split. On October 31, 2007, we changed our name to “ZVUE Corporation” from “Handheld Entertainment, Inc.”
 
Overview
 
Our mission is to provide 18-35 year olds with digital entertainment both online and offline. The ZVUE Network of websites provides our demographic with compelling online entertainment, such as commercial and user generated video, games, images and other forms of online entertainment. Our ZVUE Products group works with content partners to bundle consumer electronics products with desirable content and then sell them in retail distribution. Our library of video content comes to us from both our network of user-generated video sites, which house many hundreds of thousands of videos that are created by users, and our commercial content providers who have contracted with us to provide us with approximately 12,000 commercially produced videos. We have acquired eBaumsWorld.com, PutFile.com, Dorks.com, HolyLemon.com, FunMansion.com, YourDailyMedia.com, and UnOriginal.co.uk and we have built ZVUE.com, our commercial web site. Our commercial content is supplied by many commercial content providers, including Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, Showtime, International Marketing Group, National Lampoon, Comedy Time, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and others. Our business model is to aggregate both commercial and user-generated content with a focus on humor, extreme sports and music videos and monetize the resulting traffic to our websites by selling pre & post roll, video overlay, skyscraper and banner ads.
 
On October 31, 2007, we acquired eBaumsWorld.com. We believe that eBaumsWorld.com has become one of the world’s most significant online publishers of humor related content, and as one of the pioneers in the field of user generated content, has a strong following among its community of users and contributors. Press reports attesting to its success include articles in Men’s Journal, Wired Magazine and Maxim Magazine and the Howard Stern Radio Show. The site has also been nominated for the nationally televised VH1 Internet Comedy award, awarded the #1 spot in FHM Magazine’s “Top 100 Ultimate Websites Guide” and recognized as one of the 10 funniest sites on the web by PC World magazine. EbaumsWorld.com was recently ranked No. 5 based on market share of visits among all US websites in the Hitwise Entertainment-Humor industry segment.

In addition to our on-line media business, our ZVUE Products group sources, bundles and sells portable media devices which are sold in mass market distribution under our ZVUE brand. We manufacture products that are value priced and focus on price points at or below $99 per unit with the bulk of our units selling at retail prices below $50 per unit. We source our products through select OEM manufacturers, bundle them with top-tier content from our content providers and sell them through established retail distribution channels, creating a scalable and relatively low-risk model for our product business. We believe that this product business, together with the professional and user-generated content available online on the ZVUE Network, gives us an established and diversified platform from which we may continue to grow and capture new opportunities.

In March 2008, we announced the launch of our ZVUE Spirit player, a patriotic-themed mp3 player pre-loaded with classic, popular patriotic-themed songs from leading popular artists. The ZVUE Spirit is the first in a series of planned value-based handheld players featuring the latest in product design pre-packaged with compelling special-themed digital content from leading content providers. These new players will be sourced entirely through OEM manufacturing relationships while being designed and marketed by the ZVUE Products team. The ZVUE Spirit player is planned to ship starting in May 2008 and be available in retail stores as early as the Memorial Day weekend. In conjunction with this announcement a major national retailer has placed an order for more than 38,000 units.
 
Our ZVUE devices have been designed to be compatible with virtually all formats of content ranging from “digital rights management” protected commercial content to our user-generated content from our network of web sites.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Those material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed below. Five of these policies, discussed immediately below, are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate our long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill and Intangibles

We account for goodwill in a purchase business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Amortization of intangible assets, if applicable, occurs over their estimated useful lives. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142") requires testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value). We conduct the annual review for all of our reporting units during the fourth quarter of the calendar year unless we become aware of a triggering event which would cause us to perform the analysis at an earlier date.

Revenue Recognition 

Product Sales

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (generally a purchase order), product has been shipped, the sale price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting account is reasonably assured. Our revenue is primarily derived from sales of personal media players to retailers. We record the associated revenue at the time of the sale net of estimated returns.

We follow the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 01-9 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer" and (EITF) Issue 02-16 "Accounting By a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Considerations Received from Vendors." Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products. Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Advertising Revenue

Revenue from advertisement sales (“ad sales”) includes amounts charged to customers for advertisements placed on our web sites. Advertising revenues are recognized in the period when the advertisements are placed on the web site. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” the revenue derived from these arrangements that involve the use of third party advertising agencies where the Company is the primary obligor and has the risks and rewards of ownership are reported at the gross amount of the advertising revenue, with agency commissions and ad serving fees being reported as cost of revenues. For arrangements where the Company sells direct to advertisers or sells through third parties that have significant control over the sales process, the Company recognizes as revenue only the net proceeds it receives.

Reserve for Sales Returns

Our return policy generally allows our end users and retailers to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products within 90 days of end user purchase. We estimate a reserve for sales returns and record that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability.

Stock Based Awards

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under SFAS 123R and recognizes the fair value of stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

Stock-based compensation expense from the issuance of stock options recognized under SFAS 123R for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.1 million for both periods. As of March 31, 2008, the aggregate stock compensation remaining to be amortized to expenses was $0.3 million. The Company expects this stock compensation balance to be amortized as follows: $0.1 million during the remainder of 2008; $0.1 million during 2009; and $0.1 million during 2010. The expected amortization reflects only outstanding stock awards as of March 31, 2008. In addition, we recognized $0.5 million and $0.3 million of share based expense from the current and past issuance of restricted stock to employees and non-employees for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company expects to continue to issue share-based awards to our employees and non-employees in future periods.

The full impact of SFAS 123R in the future is dependent upon, among other things, the timing of when the Company hires additional employees, the effect of new long-term incentive strategies involving stock awards in order to continue to attract and retain employees, the total number of stock awards granted, the fair value of the stock awards at the time of grant and the tax benefit that we may or may not receive from stock-based expenses. Additionally, the application of SFAS 123R requires the use of an option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option awards. This determination of fair value is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Revenues

Revenues increased from $390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $862,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The 121% increase represented advertising revenues increasing from $75,000 to $841,000, while product revenues dropped from $315,000 to essentially none during the current period as no personal media players (PMP) were sold due to the change in our hardware model to an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) distribution model whereby we source, bundle and sell portable media device units into retail distribution with promotional themes. The next scheduled OEM shipment is in late May 2008 when our new ZVUE Spirit PMP will become available in Wal Mart’s retail stores. Wal Mart is our single largest customer for our PMPs, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our future results. The increase in advertising revenues was primarily driven by ads on our recently acquired eBaumsworld.com web site.

20


Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased from $337,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $195,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The cost of revenues for our product sales were essentially none during the current period as no PMPs were sold, compared to $242,000 last year. The cost of revenues related to advertising of $194,000 this year were primarily commissions on ad sales. Our soon to be released ZVUE Spirit is primarily being sourced from a single factory in Asia.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were comparable at $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $172,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for research and development employees and payments to independent contractors.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased from $650,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $826,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase primarily reflects an increase for commissions, consultants and additional web site related hosting expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits of sales and marketing personnel, commissions, advertising, printing and customer acquisition related costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased to $4,357,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $2,168,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. These amounts include non-cash charges related to web site cost amortization and stock-based compensation totaling $2,978,000 and $1,074,000 for three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding these non-cash charges, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,379,000 and $1,094,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash related increase of $285,000 is primarily attributable to expenses to manage our eBaumsworld.com web site that we purchased in October 2007. Our general and administrative cash related expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for employees, fees to our professional advisors, rent and other general operating costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from essentially none during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2,892,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The interest expense during the current period includes $2,340,000 of non-cash amortization of debt discount associated with the issuance of convertible debentures in October 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, no cash payments for interest were made.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2008, we had a cash balance of $4,614,000 excluding $1,570,000 of restricted cash.

Net cash provided by operations was $528,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $4,246,000 net cash used by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The net cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was used to fund the net loss of $7,559,000, offset by $5,430,000 of non-cash charges and a $2,690,000 reduction in accounts receivable. The reduction in our receivables was primarily attributable to an approximate $2,400,000 payment from Wal-Mart. The net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was to fund the net loss of $2,920,000 and a net change in assets and liabilities of $2,417,000, offset by non-cash charges of $1,092,000.

Net cash used by investing activities was comparable at $656,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $684,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Both periods include approximately $600,000 associated with the purchase of the Putfile.com web site on February 5, 2007.

Net cash provided by financing activities was essentially none for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $3,874,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The net cash provided by financing activities during the current period included $79,000 received from the exercise of stock options, offset by $103,000 of costs associated with the 2007 issuance of convertible debentures. The net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 included $3,830,000 from the January 2007 private placement of common stock, offset by $89,000 of offering costs. In addition, the Company received $133,000 from the exercise of stock options.

With our available cash of $4,614,000 at March 31, 2008 and $3,673,000 available from a financing agreement with a related party and the expected growth in our business, we believe that we have sufficient funds and anticipated future cash flows to continue in operation at least through the end of 2008. While we have invested in our content and product strategy, we believe that based on our current cash and working capital position, our existing borrowing capacity, and our assessment of how potential equity investors will view us and the expected growth in our business, we will be able to execute our business plan successfully and continue operations through December 2008. The forecast that our financial resources will last through that period is a forward-looking statement that involves significant risks and uncertainties. It is reasonably possible that should we require additional financing, we will not be able to obtain it to continue operations. Furthermore, any additional equity or convertible debt financing will be dilutive to existing shareholders and may involve preferential rights over common shareholders. Debt financing, with or without equity conversion features, may involve restrictive covenants. We may seek additional equity and/or debt financing to sustain our growth strategy although as of the date of these financial statements, our financial projections do not indicate that our existing operations and our expected growth plans will require us to.

Our business plan is based on our ability to generate future revenues from the sale of advertising on our network of humor-based websites as well as to take advantage of the projected growth of our product business which we expect to be able to market and sell our existing and future products through our established retail channel. However, the time required for us to become profitable from operations is highly uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain operating profitability or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our planned capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Statement No. 141(R),"Business Combinations", (“SFAS 141(R)”): In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued No. 141R which will change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions. The most significant changes in the accounting for business combinations under SFAS 141(R) include: (1) valuation of any acquirer shares issued as purchase consideration will be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date; (2) contingent purchase consideration, if any, will generally be measured and recorded at the acquisition date, at fair value, with any subsequent change in fair value reflected in earnings rather than through an adjustment to the purchase price allocation; (3) acquired in-process research and development costs, which have historically been expensed immediately upon acquisition, will now be capitalized at their acquisition date fair values, measured for impairment over the remaining development period and, upon completion of a successful development project, amortized to expense over the asset's estimated useful life; (4) acquisition related costs will be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as part of the purchase price allocation; and (5) acquisition related restructuring cost accruals will be reflected within the acquisition accounting only if certain specific criteria are met as of the acquisition date; the prior accounting convention, which permitted an acquirer to record restructuring accruals within the purchase price allocation as long as certain, broad criteria had been met, generally around formulating, finalizing and communicating certain exit activities, will no longer be permitted. SFAS 141(R) is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company anticipates that adoption of this pronouncement will significantly impact how the Company accounts for business combination transactions consummated after the effective date, in the various areas outlined above.

22


SFAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”): In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, this Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is required to be adopted simultaneously with SFAS 141R and is effective for reporting periods on or after December 15, 2008. An earlier adoption is not permitted. Currently, the Company does not have any non-controlling interest in our subsidiary and accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”): In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 did not impact our financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB No. 157”): In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (FSP 157-1) and FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2). FSP 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The measurement and disclosure requirements related to financial assets and financial liabilities are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, the resulting fair values calculated under SFAS No. 157 after adoption may be different from the fair values that would have been calculated under previous guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when it is applied to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities beginning in the first quarter of 2010.
 
ITEM 4 - Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the period ended March 31, 2008, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
