  NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
 Note
1 - Nature of Business
 
 Tix
Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in April 1993. The
Company is a diversified integrated entertainment company providing ticketing
services, event merchandising and the production and promotion of live
entertainment. We operate three complementary business units: Ticketing Services
(Tix4Tonight) provides discount, premium and membership group sales; Exhibit
Merchandising (EM) provides our exhibit and event merchandise sales and
services; and Tix Productions Inc. (TPI) provides the production and promotion
of live entertainment.
  Preparation
of Interim Financial Statements
  The
consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for adoption
of new accounting standards) necessary to present fairly the results of the
interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that its
disclosures are sufficiently presented to prevent this information from being
misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The financial
statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
and combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s
2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and interim financial statements and
information reported on Forms 8-K and 10-Q.
 
 Subsequent
Events
 
 The
Company has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure in its consolidated
financial statements through November 6, 2009, the Friday before the issuance
date of the consolidated financial statements. There are no significant
subsequent events.
  Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 Revenue
Recognition, Presentation and Concentrations:
  The
Company has several streams of income, each of which is required under Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to be recognized in varying ways. The
following is a summary of our revenue recognition policies.
  The
Company’s Las Vegas discount show ticketing business recognizes as revenue the
commissions and related transaction fees earned from the sale of Las Vegas show
tickets at the time the tickets are paid for and delivered to the customers. The
Company’s commissions are calculated based on the face value of the show tickets
sold. The Company’s transaction fees are charged on a per-ticket basis. With
certain exceptions, ticket sales are generally non-refundable, although same-day
exchanges of previously sold tickets are permitted. Claims for ticket refunds,
which are generally received and paid the day after the show date, are charged
back to the respective shows and are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s
commissions and fees at the time that such refunds are processed. The Company
does not have accounts receivable associated with its sales transactions, as
payment is collected at the time of sale.
 
 The
Company’s Tix4Members.com recognizes as revenue the commissions and related
transaction fees from the sale of tickets when the related event has occurred.
Refunds are only issued if the event is canceled or postponed. Payments for such
ticket sales received prior to the event are recorded as deferred revenue.
Claims for ticket refunds, which are generally received and paid the week after
the show date, are charged back to the respective shows and are recorded as a
reduction to the Company’s commissions and fees at the time that such refunds
are processed. Presently, Tix4Members.com does not have any accounts receivable
associated with sales transactions to individual customers because payment is
collected at the time of sale.
  Tix4Dinner
offers reservations for discounted dinners at various restaurants surrounding
the Las Vegas strip and downtown with dining at specific times on the same day
as the sale. Tix4Dinner recognizes as revenue the transaction fees earned from
the booking of dinner reservations at the time the reservations are made. At
this time, the Company has minor accounts receivable and no accounts payable
associated with the Tix4Dinner operations, as the Company collects the
transaction fee at the time the reservation is made, and the dinner payment is
collected directly by the restaurant. The restaurants pay the Company a fee for
each reservation.
  Tix4Golf
recognizes as revenue the difference between how much it charges its customers
for tee-times and how much it pays golf courses for tee-times. The revenue per
tee-time, as well as the cost per tee-time, varies, depending on the
desirability of the golf course, tee-time, weather, time of year and several
other factors. Revenue per tee-time is significantly higher when tee-times are
guaranteed or pre-bought in large quantities. Tee-times are generally sold the
day before or the day of the tee-time, however, tee-times may be booked in
advance. Revenue is not recognized until the day of the tee-time. The Company
does not have any accounts receivable associated with this business because all
transactions are paid for at the time of purchase.
  6
  Tix4AnyEvent
(AnyEvent) recognizes as revenue the gross amount from the sale of tickets that
it owns. AnyEvent bears the risk of economic loss if the tickets are not sold by
the date the event is scheduled to occur. Revenue is considered earned when the
related event has occurred. Refunds are only issued if the event is canceled or
postponed. Payments for such ticket sales received prior to the event are
recorded as deferred revenue. AnyEvent does not have any accounts receivable
associated with sales transactions to retail customers because payment is
collected at the time of sale. However, sales transactions to other ticket
brokers may be conducted on a credit basis, which would generate accounts
receivable.
  Exhibit
Merchandising recognizes retail store sales at the time the customer takes
possession of the merchandise. Sales are recorded net of discounts and returns
and exclude sales tax. Discounts are estimated based upon historical experience.
For online sales, revenue is recognized free on board (“FOB”) origin where title
and risk of loss pass to the buyer when the merchandise leaves
the Company's distribution facility at the time of shipment, which we refer
to as the date of purchase by the customer. Sales are recognized net of
merchandise returns, which are reserved for based on historical experience.
Shipping and handling revenues from sales are included as a component of net
sales. Conversely, shipping and handling costs are a component of direct cost of
revenues. The Company does not have any accounts receivable associated with this
business as transactions are done by cash or credit card.
  On
January 1, 2008, the Company began its live entertainment business. Revenue from
the presentation and production of an event is recognized after the performance
occurs. Revenue collected in advance of the event is recorded as deferred
revenue until the event occurs. Revenue collected from sponsorship and other
revenue, which is not related to any single event, is classified as deferred
revenue and generally amortized over the tour’s season or the term of the
contract. We account for taxes that are externally imposed on revenue producing
transactions on a net basis, as a reduction to revenue.
 
 Tix
Productions Inc.’s (TPI) operating units Magic Arts & Entertainment and
NewSpace Entertainment act as both presenters and promoters of productions, as
well as agent.  TPI’s revenues from live entertainment where it is
acting as the producer or promoter are a function of a number of elements;
revenue is a direct reflection of tickets sold times ticket prices plus
ancillary revenue streams including sponsorships and revenues generated through
premium ticketing opportunities. In instances where the Company acts as the
presenter or promoter it:
 
 ·
                selects the suppliers or approves
      the selection of the
supplier,
 ·
                is
      the primary obligor with suppliers,
 ·
                assumes
      credit risk,
 ·
                directs the pricing of the
      tickets, and
 ·
                purchases the
      advertising.
 
 The above
are indicators of ownership and would be evidence that revenues and related
expenses should be recorded at gross.  As the Company is acting as the
principal in the transaction, i.e., it has the risks and rewards of ownership
and has recorded the related revenues and expenses at gross. In other instances
where we only receive a fee and are not the principal obligors to vendors we
record these revenues at net.
  Consolidation:
  The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated
in consolidation.
  Stock-Based
Compensation:
  The
Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and
non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing
costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and
vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board. The Company accounts for stock option and
warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the
authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the
value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined
at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the
date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is
complete.
  Intangible
Assets and Goodwill:
  The
Company accounts for intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the
authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Intangibles are valued at their fair market value and are amortized taking into
account the character of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period
of benefit. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at a
minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future
cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their
net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these
assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results,
budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If
the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the
asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the
amount of impairment loss.
  7
  Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets:
  Authoritative
guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board established
guidelines regarding when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include
property and equipment, should be recognized, and how impairment losses should
be measured. Authoritative guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards
Board also provided a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of and significantly changed the criteria that would have to be met to
classify an asset as held-for-sale.
 
 Management
regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets for possible
impairment. This review occurs quarterly, or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, then management prepares an
estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges)
expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If
these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment
loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.
Management believes that the accounting estimate related to impairment of its
property and equipment is a “critical accounting estimate” because: (1) it
is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires
management to estimate fair value, which is based on assumptions about cash
flows and discount rates; and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment
would have on the assets reported on the Company’s balance sheet, as well as net
income, could be material. Management’s assumptions about cash flows and
discount rates require significant judgment because actual revenues and expenses
have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to do so. There were no
indications of impairment based on management’s assessment at September 30,
2009.  At December 31, 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $33.1
million related to the goodwill and intangible assets from our acquisition of
EM.  As of September 30, 2009, we have $11.2 million of remaining
goodwill and intangible assets related to our acquisitions of John’s Tickets,
LLC, EM, Magic and NewSpace. Factors we consider important that could trigger an
impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or
projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use
of our assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative
industry or economic trends.  If current economic conditions worsen
causing decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have further goodwill
impairments.
 
 Income
Taxes:
  Current
income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the
current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the
expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting
and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company considers future taxable
income and ongoing, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, in assessing
the value of its deferred tax assets. If the Company determines that it is more
likely than not that these assets will not be realized, the Company will reduce
the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing
net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on the
Company’s judgment. If the Company subsequently determines that the deferred tax
assets, which were written down, would be realized in the future, the value of
the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the
period when that determination was made.
  The
Company prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attributable for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax
position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing
authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit
that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized.
  Fair
Value of Financial Instruments:
  The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts and other
receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term loans
approximate fair value because of their short maturity. The carrying amounts of
capital lease obligations approximate fair value because the related
effective interest rates on these instruments approximate the rates currently
available to the Company.
  Cash
Concentrations:
  The
Company's cash balances on deposit with banks in savings accounts in the United
States (US) are guaranteed up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Company may periodically be exposed to risk for
the amount of funds held in one bank in excess of the insurance limit. In order
to control the risk, the Company's policy is to maintain cash balances with high
quality financial institutions. At September 30, 2009, the Company’s aggregate
cash in excess of the FDIC insured amount was $8.7 million. In addition, the
Company had aggregate cash balances in Austria of $102,000, which is within this
country’s equivalent of the US FDIC guarantee.
 
 Foreign
Currency:
  Results
of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the average
exchange rates during the year. The assets and liabilities of those operations
are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the balance sheet
date. The realized and unrealized exchange losses and gains were minor in the
three and nine months ending September 30, 2009. The related translation
adjustments are recorded in a separate component of stockholders’ equity in
accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and
losses are included in the results of operations.
  8
  Accounting
Estimates:
  The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
 Advertising
Costs:
  Advertising
costs are charged to operations as selling and marketing expenses at the time
the costs are incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, advertising costs were $207,000 and $377,000, and $1.4 million and
$4.2 million, respectively.
 
 Recently
Issued Accounting Guidance:
  In
October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that
will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier
adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software
elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to
the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of
the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will
now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. We believe
adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial
statements.
 
 On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on business combinations. The guidance
retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting
(previously referred to as the purchase method of accounting) be used for all
business combinations, but requires a number of changes, including changes in
the way assets and liabilities are recognized and measured as a result of
business combinations. It also requires the capitalization of in-process
research and development at fair value and requires the expensing of
acquisition-related costs as incurred. We have applied this guidance to business
combinations completed since July 1, 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not
have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
 In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 168 (“SFAS
168”), “Accounting Standards Codification * and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification*
(“Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All existing
accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any
accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be
authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases of the Securities
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under the authority of federal securities
laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS
168 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September
15, 2009. Therefore, beginning with our quarter ending September 30, 2009, all
references made by it to GAAP in its consolidated financial statements now use
the new Codification numbering system. The Codification does not change or alter
existing GAAP and, therefore, it does not have an impact on our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 In June 2009, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended its guidance on
accounting for variable interest entities ("VIE"). Among other things, the new
guidance requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine
the primary beneficiary of a VIE; requires continuous assessments of whether an
enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; enhances disclosures about an
enterprise's involvement with a VIE; and amends certain guidance for determining
whether an entity is a VIE. Under the new guidance, a VIE must be consolidated
if the enterprise has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the
VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and
(b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from
the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company is
evaluating the impact that this change in accounting policy will have on our
consolidated financial statements. Based on our initial assessment, we
anticipate that certain entities that are consolidated under our current
accounting policy may not be consolidated subsequent to the effective date of
the new guidance. The Company does not expect this change in accounting policy
to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
  In May
2009, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance for recognized and
non-recognized subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued. The new guidance also requires
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events
and the basis for that date. The new accounting guidance was effective for our
Company beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, and is being applied prospectively.
This change in accounting policy had no impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
   In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance related to
noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries (previously referred to as minority
interests), which resulted in a change in our accounting policy effective
January 1, 2009. Among other things, the new guidance requires that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be accounted for as a component of
equity separate from the parent's equity, rather than as a liability. The new
guidance is being applied prospectively, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements, which have been applied retrospectively. The adoption
of this new accounting policy did not have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
  9
  In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that defines
collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for
transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between
participants in the arrangement and third parties. It also establishes the
appropriate income statement presentation and classification for joint operating
activities and payments between participants, as well as the sufficiency of the
disclosures related to those arrangements. This new accounting guidance was
effective for our Company on January 1, 2009, and its adoption did not have
a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September
2006, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure
requirements about fair value measurements. However, in February 2008, the FASB
delayed the effective date of the new accounting guidance for all nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), until January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting
guidance for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
  Note
3 - Acquisitions
  On
January 2, 2008, the Company entered into separate letters of intent to acquire
Magic Arts and Entertainment, LLC (Magic) and NewSpace Entertainment, LLC
(NewSpace). As part of the letters of intent, the managements of Magic and
NewSpace agreed to manage the operations of their respective companies for the
benefit of the Company from January 2, 2008 until the transactions could be
finalized. The managements of Magic and NewSpace were required to consult and
obtain the approval of the management of the Company prior to entering into any
long term arrangements or transactions that were outside the normal course of
business. Further, the Company assumed all responsibility for any losses or
profits that might be incurred or earned during this period by both Magic and
NewSpace. As such, the Company has included the results of operations of Magic
and NewSpace in its consolidated operations as of January 2, 2008, the date the
Company acquired effective control. The acquisition of Magic was completed on
February 29, 2008 and the acquisition of NewSpace was completed on
March 12, 2008.
  Magic
Arts and Entertainment:
  Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger, we paid to the two stockholders of
Magic, Joseph Marsh and Lee Marshall, a total of $2.1 million in cash and issued
to them a total of 476,190 restricted shares of our common stock with a market
value of $2.3 million. Mr. Marsh and Mr. Marshall were the former owners of
Exhibit Merchandising. Mr. Marsh, as a result of the two transactions and open
market purchases owns approximately 14% of the Company and Mr. Marshall owns
approximately 6% of the Company. Further, at February 28, 2009, we issued an
additional 190,476 shares of our common stock with a fair market value of
$256,000 to the former owners of Magic Arts and Entertainment as they achieved
the pre-determined EBITDA threshold. We will be required to issue to the former
Magic stockholders an additional 190,476 shares of our common stock if certain
EBITDA milestones are achieved during the next twenty-four months. These
milestones are based upon the results achieved by Tix Productions, Inc. (“TPI”),
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that focuses on providing live
entertainment.
  The
assets of Magic consist primarily of agreements, copyrights and licenses to
theatres, productions, and touring acts. We carry on Magic’s business through
TPI.
  The
acquisition of Magic has been accounted for as a purchase and the operations of
the company have been consolidated commencing with the closing of the
transaction. The $4.4 million purchase price was allocated based upon the fair
value of the acquired assets, as determined by management with the assistance of
an independent valuation firm. As a result of the additional shares issued with
a fair market value of $256,000, the adjusted purchase price of Magic is $4.7
million.

  In
conjunction with the completion of the Merger, we entered into written
employment agreements with Messrs. Marsh and Marshall, under which they serve as
the Co-Chief Executive Officers of TPI. The term of each of the employment
agreements commenced on February 29, 2008 and will expire on February 28, 2011,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
employment agreement. Under the employment agreements, Mr. Marsh is
entitled to an annual salary of $100,000 and Mr. Marshall is entitled to an
annual salary of $300,000 that will increase by $25,000 each year during the
term of the agreement. Mr. Marshall also is eligible to receive annual bonuses
based upon TPI exceeding performance milestones specified in his employment
agreement.
  10
  In the
event of the termination of employment of Mr. Marsh or Mr. Marshall for any
reason other than termination by us for “cause” (as defined in the employment
agreement) or termination by reason of his death or permanent disability, we
have agreed to continue to pay Mr. Marsh or Mr. Marshall or their personal
representatives, as the case may be, the annual salary under his employment
agreement for six months following their departure.
  Under
their employment agreements, each of Messrs. Marsh and Marshall agrees not to
compete with us during the period from the date on which their employment with
the Company is terminated for any reason through the fifth anniversary of such
date.
 
 NewSpace
Entertainment
  Pursuant
to the Merger, we paid to the three stockholders of NewSpace $1.4 million in
cash and issued to them a total of 571,428 restricted shares of our common stock
with a market value of $2.6 million.
  The
assets of NewSpace consist primarily of agreements, copyrights and licenses to
theatres, productions, and touring acts. We carry on the business of NewSpace
through TPI.
 
 The
acquisition of NewSpace has been accounted for as a purchase and the operations
of the company have been consolidated commencing with the closing of the
transaction. The $4.0 million purchase price was allocated based upon the fair
value of the acquired assets, as determined by management with the assistance of
an independent valuation firm. This valuation is still subject to change and
revision may occur in the assigned value. The Company does not believe any
changes or revisions will be significant.

 In
conjunction with the completion of the Merger, we entered into written
employment agreements with John Ballard, Steve Boulay and Bruce Granath, the
three stockholders of NewSpace, pursuant to which they serve as President, Chief
Operating Officer and Vice President - Marketing, respectively, at TPI. The term
of each of the employment agreements commenced on March 11, 2008, and will
expire on the third anniversary of such date, unless sooner terminated in
accordance with applicable provisions of the employment agreements.
  Mr.
Ballard and Mr. Boulay are entitled under their respective employment agreements
to an annual salary of $185,000. Mr. Granath, pursuant to his employment
agreement, is entitled to an annual salary of $115,000. Messrs. Ballard, Boulay
and Granath are each entitled to increases in their annual salaries of at least
3% per annum.
  If
Messrs. Ballard, Boulay and Granath are terminated “for cause” as defined in
their employment agreements or the employment agreements expire upon their
respective terms, each agrees not to compete with us during the period from the
date of termination or expiration through the fifth anniversary of such
date.
  If the
employment of Messrs. Ballard, Boulay or Granath is terminated “without cause”
(as defined in their respective employment agreements), we have agreed to
continue to pay Messrs. Ballard, Boulay, Granath, or their personal
representatives, as the case may be, their annual salary under his employment
agreement for six months.

 Total
amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $492,000 and $1,026,000, respectively. Total
amortization expense related to intangible assets for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,475,000 and $3,013,000, respectively. The
decline in amortization costs is primarily due to the $7.7 million impairment
charge associated with EM which was recorded at December 31, 2008, and will
result in an annual decrease of $2.0 million of amortization expense over the
next four years.  Total estimated amortization expense with respect to
intangible assets for the remainder of 2009 through 2013 is as
follows:

Corporation recorded compensation expense pursuant to authoritative guidance
provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. As
of September 30, 2009, the Company has outstanding unvested options with future
compensation costs of $1.4 million, which will be recorded as compensation
expense as the options vest over their remaining average life of 6.64
years.
 
 The
assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the options granted during
2009, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:

 In
conjunction with an investor relations consulting agreement in 2009, the Company
issued 150,000 warrants, of which 75,000 vested immediately. The remaining
75,000 vested over six months, which was the term of the consulting agreement.
As the consulting agreement can be terminated at any time and the consulting
arrangement does not contain any performance measurements or sufficiently large
disincentives for non-performance, the related consulting expense on these
75,000 warrants is recognized over the life of the contract. In the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of $207,000 related to warrants
issued in conjunction with this consulting agreement. In conjunction with a
consulting agreement in 2008, the Company issued 150,000 warrants, of which
50,000 vested immediately. The remaining 100,000 warrants vested over six
months, which is the term of the consulting agreement. As the consulting
agreement could have been terminated at any time and the consulting arrangement
does not contain any performance measurements or sufficiently large
disincentives for non-performance, the related consulting expense on these
100,000 warrants was recognized over the life of the contract. In the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, the remaining 33,000 warrants vested, and we
recorded an expense of $18,000 related to the 2008 contract.

9- Income Taxes
 
 At
September 30, 2009, the Company had Federal net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $20.8 million that begin expiring in 2009 in varying amounts
through 2028. The Company also had California state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $700,000. In October, 2008 California temporarily
suspended use of net operating losses for 2008 and 2009, and the California
state net operating losses expire beginning in 2015 in varying amounts through
2018.
 
 Authoritative
guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board requires that a
valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a
portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the restrictions
imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 regarding substantial changes in
ownership of companies with loss carryforwards, the utilization of the Company’s
net operating loss carryforwards are limited to $6.7 million per year as a
result of cumulative changes in stock ownership. As a result of the limitations
related to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and the Company’s lack of history
of profits, as such, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its
net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
 There was
no provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
the provision for income taxes was $106,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 compared with no provision for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was determined using our effective rate
estimated for the entire fiscal year.
 
 In
addition, during 2009, we utilized certain federal net operating loss (“NOL”)
carryforwards. We have provided valuation allowances related to the benefits
from income taxes resulting from the application of a statutory tax rate to our
NOL’s generated in previous periods. The allowances were established and
maintained as a result of our history of losses from operations.
 
 Note
10- Earnings Per Share
 
 Basic net
income per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to
common shares by weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net income per common share adjusts basic net income per common
share for the effects of stock options, restricted stock and other potentially
dilutive financial instruments only in the periods in which such effect is
dilutive.

  The
following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per
common share:

  Potentially
dilutive securities were excluded from the earnings per diluted share
calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 because their
effect is anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities at September 30,
2009 included outstanding warrants and options to purchase 2.2 million shares of
our common stock, of which 1.0 million were warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock and 1.2 million were options to purchase shares of our common
stock.
 
 Note
11- Fair Value Measurements
  The
Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and
measures these assets on a recurring basis.  Financial assets recorded
at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized by the level of
objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair
value.  Authoritative guidance provided by the FASB defines the
following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with
the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets:
 
 ·
                Level 1 – quoted prices in active
      markets for identical
investments
 
 ·
                Level 2 – other significant
      observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market
      corroborated inputs, etc.)
 
 ·
                Level 3 – significant
      unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in
      determining the fair value of
  investments)
  The
inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the credit risk associated with investing in those
securities.  The following table provides the fair value measurements
of applicable Company financial assets that are measured at fair value on a
recurring basis according to the fair value levels defined by authoritative
guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board as of September 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008.

  The
Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement
at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These assets include goodwill
and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of John’s Tickets, EM,
Magic and NewSpace.  For these assets, measurement at fair value in
periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is
determined to be impaired.

12- Segment Reporting
 
 We
operate in three reportable segments: ticketing services, event and branded
merchandising, and live entertainment.
 
 Ticketing
Services
  Our
ticketing business is operated by our wholly owned subsidiary Tix4Tonight.
Ticketing Services offers three distinct services: discount ticketing,
membership group sales, and premium event ticketing.
  Discount
Ticketing – Tix4Tonight, Las Vegas
  When
selling discounted tickets, Tix4Tonight generally sells them from seven leased
locations in Las Vegas under short-term, exclusive and non-exclusive agreements
with approximately 80 Las Vegas shows, out of a total of approximately 100 shows
running at any one time. Tix4Tonight typically offers tickets for more than 70
shows on any given day at a discount plus a service fee. Tix4Tonight receives
inventory for sale the same day directly from the show producer, artist or
theater. This is a reflection of the Las Vegas market and its last minute
purchasing pattern. Tix4Tonight does not know the exact number of tickets for
each show it will be able to offer for sale until the same day of the show.
There are usually many more tickets available each day than are sold, although
it is not uncommon for Tix4Tonight to sell out its supply of tickets for
individual shows. The producers of the shows are paid on a weekly basis only for
the tickets that Tix4Tonight actually sells to customers. Tix4Tonight has no
financial risk with respect to unsold tickets and revenues are recorded at net
of ticket cost, that is, commissions and fees on tickets sold.
 
 Our
opportunities to grow the Las Vegas operations are focused on growing our
inventory by reaching agreements with additional shows, increasing the number of
our storefront sales locations and working to further monetize the relationships
we have with customers by offering additional, complementary products and
services. Toward these ends, Tix4Tonight also offers discounted dining
reservation tickets to approximately 30 Las Vegas area restaurants and
discounted golf tee times to certain Las Vegas golf courses.
 
 Membership
Group Sales – Tix4Members.com
 
 Tix
Corporation launched its internet based Tix4Members.com in association with
Costco. However, revenues from the Costco arrangement have been minimal. As a
result, we have elected to provide notice of termination of the Costco
arrangement. The Company believes in this strategy and continues to seek
additional partners. As with our Tix4Tonight operation in Las Vegas,
Tix4Members.com offers a marketing channel for producers, presenters, artists,
arenas and theaters nationwide to take advantage of our strong position in the
discounted ticket sales and live entertainment industry. Tix4Members.com
operates in a manner similar to Tix4Tonight with a few key differences. Instead
of relying on physical ticket booth facilities for direct sales, Tix4Members.com
uses the internet as its customer interface, and has expanded the date range of
ticket availability instead of offering only day of show tickets.
  Premium
Ticketing – Tix4AnyEvent
 
 Tix4Tonight
operates a national event ticket broker called Tix4AnyEvent (AnyEvent), which
focuses on premium tickets for sporting events, concert tours and theatres. In
the area of premium tickets, we have changed from a retail ticket seller to the
public to a wholesaler of tickets, that is, our clients are usually national
retail ticket brokers. As a result of this change, we are assuming less risk,
have been able to reduce our overhead and increase the likelihood of
profitability. The tickets sold are generally obtained through the event
sponsor, artist or producer; although in some circumstances the tickets that we
sell are from secondary or resale markets. We continue to expand our event
offerings in this field through our strong industry relationships. Tix4AnyEvent
operations are located in the leased administrative offices of Tix4Tonight in
Las Vegas.
  Exhibit
and Event Merchandising
 
 The
Company provides exhibit and event merchandising through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Exhibit Merchandising, LLC (EM). EM provides retail specialty stores
for touring museum exhibitions and touring theatrical productions. EM provides a
complete turn-key retail store including professional management and both
custom-branded products and commercially-available products for sale. EM
operates the stores in space provided in conjunction with the exhibit. To date,
revenues from the management of retail outlets associated with the sale of
merchandise related to touring exhibits have been primarily derived from
“Tutankhamen and The Golden Age of the Pharaohs.”
 
 Management
expects that EM’s growth will be from merchandising opportunities derived from
shows produced or presented by our Live Entertainment segment, such as 101
Dalmatians, Jesus Christ Superstar and Mannheim Steamroller, or by adding
additional exhibits and events that we currently do not represent.

  Live
Entertainment
  In
January 2008, the Company acquired two live theatrical and concert production
companies: Magic Arts & Entertainment, LLC (Magic) and NewSpace
Entertainment, Inc. (NewSpace). Both Magic and NewSpace are independent
presenters and producers of live theater and concerts with a history of working
together. The Company merged the two entertainment companies into its
wholly-owned subsidiary Tix Productions, Inc. We believe that by combining the
operations of the two companies into a single entity, we are able to
leverage our resources, gain operating efficiencies and more fully utilize
the combined network of producers and promoters. NewSpace and Magic continue to
do business under their former names as a reflection of the marketplace’s
recognition of these entities.
  As a live
entertainment presenter, we book touring theatrical and concert presentations
with a history of successful commercial appeal and participate in the
development and roll out of new theatrical and concert presentations often
originating on Broadway in New York or the West End in London. We use a
wide variety of marketing channels to sell tickets to these programs including
our substantial subscriber-based businesses in eleven US cities, our Salt Lake
City based group sales team, and standard marketing tools including print,
radio, television, outdoor and internet marketing tools. In addition, we invest
in shows or productions in advance of their initial tour to obtain favorable
touring and distribution rights.
  Our Live
Entertainment operation focuses on two major areas: production and presentation.
As producers, we invest in the creation of original entertainment properties,
which are then sold to third party presenters generating upfront guaranteed
income, revenue sharing opportunities, and additional opportunities for
sponsorship and other ancillary revenue streams. Examples of this are tours of
Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, Jesus Christ Superstar and our upcoming
theatrical production of 101 Dalmatians.
 
 As
presenters, we generally contract for entertainment properties from producers to
present in markets in the US and Canada. We have worked in most major North
American cities and can negotiate terms that are unavailable to presenters in
individual markets. In eleven markets, we have substantial subscriber-based
operations operating as “Broadway in (city name)” series which greatly reduces
the risk associated with individual presentations and provides additional
opportunities to generate sponsorship and other ancillary revenue streams. These
markets are Salt Lake City, Eugene, Kalamazoo, Akron, Albuquerque, Colorado
Springs, Detroit, Fresno, Boise, Birmingham, and Milwaukee. In Canada, we have a
presenting relationship that operates under the name Canada Theatricals Live
which is now the second largest presenter of theater-based events in
Canada.
 
 Revenue
and expenses earned and charged between segments are eliminated in
consolidation. Corporate expenses, interest income, interest expense and income
taxes are managed on a total company basis. Information related to these
operating segments is as follows:

  ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS:
 
 “Tix”
(which may be referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) means Tix
Corporation and its subsidiaries, or one of our segments or subsidiaries, as the
context requires. You should read the following discussion of our financial
condition and results of operations together with the unaudited consolidated
financial statements and notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in
this quarterly report.
 
 Certain
statements contained in this quarterly report (or otherwise made by us or on our
behalf from time to time in other reports, filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, news releases, conferences, internet postings or otherwise)
that are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
notwithstanding that such statements are not specifically identified.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our
financial position, business strategy, competitive position, potential growth
opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, and the effects of
competition, the effects of future legislation or regulations and plans and
objectives of our management for future operations. We have based our
forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on
information available to our management at the time the statements are made. Use
of the words “may,” “should,” “continue,” “plan,” “potential,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “outlook,” “could,” “project,”
“seek,” “predict” or variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means
of identifying such statements.
 
 Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
those set forth under Item 1A. — Risk Factors in both our 2008
Form 10-K and this quarterly report, as well as other factors described
herein or in our annual, quarterly and other reports we file with the SEC
(collectively, “cautionary statements”). Based upon changing conditions, should
any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from
those described in any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and
oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary
statements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except
as required by applicable law.

  Executive
Overview
 
 During
the third quarter of 2009, we continued to execute our strategy to improve and
build our operations comprised of Tix4Tonight, Exhibit Merchandising (EM) and
Tix Productions, Inc. (TPI). The highlights for each of our segments for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:
 
 Tix4Tonight
 
 ·
                For the three and nine months
      ended September 30, 2009, Tix4Tonight sold 344,000 tickets and 1,003,000
      tickets, respectively. These ticket sales represented an increase of
      61,000 and 245,000 tickets over the prior year’s comparable three and nine
      month periods and reflected a 22% and 32% increase over the prior year’s
      ticket sales.
 
 ·
                For the three and nine months
      ended September 30, 2009, Tix4Tonight sold tickets with a value of $19.5
      million and $56.6 million, respectively. The value of the tickets sold
      represented an increase of $5.5 million and $19.2 million over prior
      year’s comparable three and nine month periods, and reflected a 39% and
      51% increase over the prior year’s ticket
  sales.
 
 ·
                For the three and nine months
      ended September 30, 2009, Tix4Tonight’s Tix4Dinner business sold dinner
      reservations with a value of $345,000 and $949,000, respectively. These
      reservation sales represented an increase of $105,000 and $318,000 over
      prior year’s comparable three and nine month periods, and reflected a 44%
      and 50% increase over prior year’s dinner reservations
      revenue.
 
 ·
                After
      approximately eight years of effort, Tix Corporation has received a Notice
      of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that it
      will soon be issued a patent for its inventions concerning discount ticket
      brokerage. The Company believes the patent broadly covers the
      distribution of discounted tickets and encompasses the business it
      conducts under its Tix4Tonight subsidiary in Las Vegas. A Notice of
      Allowance confirms that the patent application has been examined and is
      allowed for issuance as a patent and that the prosecution on the merits is
      closed.
  Exhibit
Merchandising
 
 ·
                Was profitable for the three and
      nine months ended September 30,
2009.
 
 ·
                Negotiated a royalty agreement
      with exhibition producers reducing our royalty rate by 25%, which we
      estimate is a savings of $30,000 per
  month.
 
 Live
Entertainment
 
 ·
                TPI’s subscription series shows
      are presently selling slower than anticipated; however offsetting the
      decline in revenues from our subscription series are stronger than
      anticipated sales of shows such as Walking with
      Dinosaurs.
 
 ·
                Shows that are produced or
      presented by TPI such as David Copperfield, Rain, and Lord of the Dance
      continue to perform in line with
  expectations.
  Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates:
 
 The
preparation of our consolidated financial statements is in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Management periodically evaluates its earlier estimates and judgments.
Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on
various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different
assumptions or conditions.
 
 The
following narrative describes the critical accounting policies that affect the
more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

  Revenue
Recognition and Presentation:
 
 The
Company has several streams of income, each of which is required under GAAP to
be recognized in varying ways. The following is a summary of our revenue
recognition policies:
 
 The
Company’s Las Vegas discount show ticketing business recognizes as revenue the
commissions and related transaction fees earned from the sale of Las Vegas show
tickets at the time the tickets are paid for and delivered to the customers. The
Company’s commissions are calculated based on the face value of the show tickets
sold. The Company’s transaction fees are charged on a per-ticket basis. With
certain exceptions, ticket sales are generally non-refundable, although same-day
exchanges of previously sold tickets are permitted. Claims for ticket refunds,
which are generally received and paid the day after the show date, are charged
back to the respective shows and are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s
commissions and fees at the time that such refunds are processed. The Company
does not have accounts receivable associated with its sales transactions, as
payment is collected at the time of sale.
 
 The
Company’s Tix4Members.com recognizes as revenue the commissions and the related
transaction fees earned when the related event has occurred. Refunds are only
issued if the event is canceled or postponed. Payments for such ticket sales
received prior to the event are recorded as deferred revenue. Claims for ticket
refunds, which are generally received and paid the day after the show date, are
charged back to the respective shows and are recorded as a reduction to the
Company’s commissions and fees at the time that such refunds are processed.
Tix4Members.com does not have any accounts receivable associated with sales
transactions to individual customers, as payment is collected at the time of
sale.
 
 Tix4Dinner
offers reservations for discounted dinners at various restaurants on the Las
Vegas strip with dining at specific times on the same day as the sale or in some
cases as much as 7 days after the day of the sale. Tix4Dinner recognizes as
revenue the transaction fees earned from the purchaser of the dinner
reservations at the time that the reservations are made and a subsequent nominal
fee from the restaurant at the time the reservation is used. At this time, the
Company has immaterial amounts of accounts receivable and does not have any
accounts payable associated with the Tix4Dinner operations because the Company
collects the transaction fee at the time that the reservation is made and the
dinner payment is collected directly by the restaurant.
 
 Tix4Golf
recognizes as revenue the difference between how much it charges its customers
for tee-times and how much it pays golf courses for tee-times. The revenue per
tee-time, as well as the cost per tee-time, varies depending on the desirability
of the golf course and tee-time, weather, time of year and several other
factors. Revenue per tee-time is significantly higher when tee-times are
guaranteed or pre-bought in large quantities. Tee-times are generally sold the
day before or the day of the tee-time, however, tee-times may be booked in
advance. Revenue is not recognized until the day of the tee-time. The Company
does not have any accounts receivable associated with this business, as all
transactions are paid for at the time of purchase.
 
 Tix4AnyEvent
(AnyEvent) recognizes as revenue the gross amount from the sale of tickets that
it owns. AnyEvent bears the risk of economic loss if the tickets are not sold by
the date that the event is scheduled to occur. Revenue is considered earned when
the related event has occurred. Refunds are only issued if the event is canceled
or postponed. Payments for such ticket sales received prior to the event are
recorded as deferred revenue. AnyEvent does not have any accounts receivable
associated with sales transactions to individual customers, as payment is
collected at the time of sale. However, sales transactions with other ticket
brokers may be conducted on a credit basis, which would generate accounts
receivable.
 
 Exhibit
Merchandising recognizes retail store sales at the time the customer takes
possession of the merchandise. All sales are net of discounts and returns and
exclude sales tax. For online sales, revenue is recognized free on board ("FOB")
origin where title and risk of loss pass to the buyer when the merchandise
leaves the Company's distribution facility at the time of shipment, which
we refer to as the date of purchase by the customer. Sales are recognized net of
merchandise returns, which are reserved for based on historical experience.
Shipping and handling revenues from sales are included as a component of net
sales. Conversely, shipping and handling costs are a component of direct costs
of revenues, pursuant to the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board. The Company does not have any accounts receivable
associated with this business because all transactions are done by cash or
credit card.
 
 Tix
Productions, Inc. recognizes revenue from the presentation and production of an
event after the performance occurs upon settlement of the event; however any
profits related to these tours is recognized after minimum revenue thresholds,
if any have been achieved. Revenue collected in advance of the event is recorded
as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Revenue collected from sponsorship
and other revenue, which is not related to any single event, is classified as
deferred revenue and generally amortized over the tour’s season or the term of
the contract. We account for taxes that are externally imposed on revenue
producing transactions on a net basis, as a reduction to revenue.
 
 Stock-Based
Compensation:
 
 The
Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and
non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and financing
costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and
vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the FASB.
The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to
non-employees in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based
upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a
performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary
performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
 
 21
  Impairment
of Long-Lived Asset:
 
 Our
long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment
when events and circumstances indicate that depreciable or amortizable long
lived assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets.
When specific assets are determined to be unrecoverable, the cost basis of the
asset is reduced to reflect the current value.
 
 We use
various assumptions in determining the current fair value of these assets,
including future expected cash flows and discount rates, as well as other fair
value measures. Our impairment loss calculations require us to apply judgment in
estimating future cash flows, including forecasting useful lives of the assets
and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash
flows.
 
 If actual
results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments used in estimating
future cash flows and asset fair values, we may be exposed to future impairment
losses that could be material to our results.
 
 Intangible
Assets and Goodwill:
 
 In
December 2007, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for business
combinations and the resulting intangibles and goodwill. Intangibles are valued
at their fair market value and are amortized taking into account the character
of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period of
benefit.
 
 The
Company evaluates intangible assets and goodwill for impairment, at a minimum,
on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows.
Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book
value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets,
considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets,
economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net
book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset
is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of
impairment loss.  There were no indications of impairment based on
management’s assessment at September 30, 2009.  At December 31, 2008,
we recorded an impairment charge of $33.1 million related to goodwill and
intangible assets acquired from our acquisition of EM.  As of
September 30, 2009, we have $11.7 million of remaining goodwill and intangible
assets related to our acquisitions of John’s Tickets, LLC, EM, Magic and
NewSpace. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review
include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future
operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or
the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or
economic trends.  If current economic conditions worsen causing
decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have further goodwill
impairments.
 
 Recently
Issued Accounting Guidance:
 
 In
October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that
will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier
adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software
elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to
the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of
the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will
now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. We believe
adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial
statements.
 
 On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on business combinations. The guidance
retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting
(previously referred to as the purchase method of accounting) be used for all
business combinations, but requires a number of changes, including changes in
the way assets and liabilities are recognized and measured as a result of
business combinations. It also requires the capitalization of in-process
research and development at fair value and requires the expensing of
acquisition-related costs as incurred. We have applied this guidance to business
combinations completed since July 1, 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not
have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
 In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 168 (“SFAS
168”), “Accounting Standards Codification * and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification*
(“Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All existing
accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any
accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be
authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases of the Securities
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under the authority of federal securities
laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS
168 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September
15, 2009. Therefore, beginning with our quarter ending September 30, 2009, all
references made by it to GAAP in its consolidated financial statements now use
the new Codification numbering system. The Codification does not change or alter
existing GAAP and, therefore, it does not have an impact on our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.

  In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended its guidance on
accounting for variable interest entities ("VIE"). Among other things, the new
guidance requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine
the primary beneficiary of a VIE; requires continuous assessments of whether an
enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; enhances disclosures about an
enterprise's involvement with a VIE; and amends certain guidance for determining
whether an entity is a VIE. Under the new guidance, a VIE must be consolidated
if the enterprise has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the
VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and
(b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from
the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company is
evaluating the impact that this change in accounting policy will have on our
consolidated financial statements. Based on our initial assessment, we
anticipate that certain entities that are consolidated under our current
accounting policy may not be consolidated subsequent to the effective date of
the new guidance. The Company does not expect this change in accounting policy
to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
  In May
2009, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance for recognized and
non-recognized subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued. The new guidance also requires
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events
and the basis for that date. The new accounting guidance was effective for our
Company beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, and is being applied prospectively.
This change in accounting policy had no impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
  In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance related to
noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries (previously referred to as minority
interests), which resulted in a change in our accounting policy effective
January 1, 2009. Among other things, the new guidance requires that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be accounted for as a component of
equity separate from the parent's equity, rather than as a liability. The new
guidance is being applied prospectively, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements, which have been applied retrospectively. The adoption
of this new accounting policy did not have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
  In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that defines
collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for
transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between
participants in the arrangement and third parties. It also establishes the
appropriate income statement presentation and classification for joint operating
activities and payments between participants, as well as the sufficiency of the
disclosures related to those arrangements. This new accounting guidance was
effective for our Company on January 1, 2009, and its adoption did not have
a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September
2006, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure
requirements about fair value measurements. However, in February 2008, the FASB
delayed the effective date of the new accounting guidance for all nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), until January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting
guidance for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

  Three
Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
 
 Revenues
 
 The
Company earns fee revenues from the sales of discounted tickets from purchasers
of the tickets and commissions from the entertainment supplier, as well as
revenues from the sale of premium tickets to sporting and other entertainment
events. Through our discounted ticket venues we also offer discount dinner
reservations and golf tee times. From Exhibit Merchandising, LLC “EM”, we earn
revenues from the management of retail outlets associated with the sale of
merchandise related to touring exhibits, such as “Tutankhamun and The Golden Age
of the Pharaohs.” Through our live entertainment segment, we earn revenues from
the presentation and production of events, as well as sponsorship and ancillary
revenues. Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
were $9.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Our revenues increased
$523,000, or 6%, during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to
the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenues was primarily the
result of an $813,000 increase in Ticketing Services revenues, which was offset
in part by a $133,000 decline in revenues from our Merchandising segment and a
$157,000 decline in revenues from our Live Entertainment segment.

 Direct
Operating Expenses
 
 Direct
operating expenses include payroll and related costs, rents, cost of tickets and
goods sold, artist fees, show related marketing costs and advertising expenses
along with other related costs of promoting and producing live entertainment.
Direct costs of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
were $5.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Our operating expenses
increased $214,000 or 4% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in direct operating
expenses is reflective of the higher overall revenues earned in Ticketing
Services and the higher direct cost of goods and services in our Live
Entertainment segment than our other operations.

 Operating
Segment Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
 Operating
segment selling, marketing and administrative expenses include advertising and
promotional costs related to the Company’s business activities. Our operating
segment selling, marketing and administrative expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2.1 million and $2.2 million,
respectively. Our selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased $73,000 or 3% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period of the prior year due to a $303,000 decline in
selling and general and administrative expenses in our Exhibit Merchandising
segment.  This decline was offset in part by a $184,000 and $46,000
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses at our Ticketing
Services segment and Live Entertainment segment, respectively.

 Corporate
Expenses
 
 Corporate
expenses are expenses that relate to activities at or directed by our executive
offices. Significant components of corporate expenses consist of corporate
personnel and personnel-related costs, insurance, legal and accounting fees,
consulting and advisory fees, merchant fees and corporate occupancy costs.
Corporate expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were
$1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Corporate expenses increased
$74,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to same
period of the prior year. This increase in corporate expenses is the result of
an increase in investor relations services obtained.
 
 Depreciation
and Amortization
 
 Our
depreciation and amortization was $625,000 and $1.15 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The decrease of $526,000
in depreciation and amortization expense in 2009 primarily is the result of the
$7.7 million impairment of intangible assets we recorded at December 31, 2008,
which reduced future amortization expense by $500,000 a quarter.

  Other
Income and (Expense)
 
 Other
Income and Expense was $63,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009,
and was the result of miscellaneous box office revenues, such as patron club
income and season handling fees, earned by our Live Entertainment segment Tix
Productions.
 
 Interest
Income
 
 Interest
income was immaterial for all periods presented. Fluctuations in interest income
were due primarily to fluctuations in our cash balances.
 
 Income
Tax Expense
 
 There was
no provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 as each period resulted in a loss. The provision for income taxes for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 was determined using our effective rate
estimated for the entire fiscal year. We have provided valuation allowances

 Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
 
 Revenues
 
 Our
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $56.1
million and $48.9 million, respectively. Our revenues increased $7.2 million, or
15%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same
period of the prior year. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of a
$5.1 million increase in Live Entertainment revenues and a $3.2 million increase
in Ticketing Services revenues, which was offset in part by a $1.1 million
decline in revenues from our Merchandising segment.

2008. Our operating expenses increased $7.5 million or 22% during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior
year. The increase in direct operating expenses is reflective of the 15% higher
overall revenues earned and the 17% higher revenues earned in our Live
Entertainment segment, which has higher direct cost of goods and services than
our other operating segments.

respectively. Our selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased $1.5 million or 17% during the nine months ended September 30,
2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year due to a $1.1 million
decline in selling and general and administrative expenses in each of our Live
Entertainment and Merchandising segments.  This decline was offset in
part by a $746,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses at
our Ticketing Services segment.

 Corporate
Expenses
 
 Corporate
expenses are expenses that relate to activities at or directed by our executive
offices. Significant components of corporate expenses consist of corporate
personnel and personnel-related costs, insurance, legal and accounting fees,
consulting and advisory fees, merchant fees and corporate occupancy costs.
Corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were
$4.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Corporate expenses increased
$77,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same
period of the prior year. This increase is mainly attributed to $60,000 higher
board of director expenses.

  Depreciation
and Amortization
 
 Our
depreciation and amortization was $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The decrease of $1.5
million in depreciation and amortization expense in 2009 primarily reflects a
$1.5 million decrease in amortization expense. The decrease in amortization
expense is the result of the $7.7 million impairment of intangible assets we
recorded at December 31, 2008, which reduced future amortization expense by
$500,000 a quarter.

 Ticketing
Services has three operating units:

                Tix4Tonight, our discount ticket
      seller
 
 ·
                Tix4AnyEvent (AnyEvent or AE),
      our premium ticket operation
 
 ·
                Tix4Members, our membership group
      ticket sales program
 
 26
  The
Ticketing Services segment earns fee revenues from the sales of discounted
tickets from purchasers of the tickets and commissions from the entertainment
supplier, as well as revenues from the sale of premium tickets to sporting and
other entertainment events. Through our discounted ticket venues, we also
offer discount dinner reservations and golf tee times. Ticketing Services
revenues were $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Our
revenues increased $813,000, or 22%, during the three months ended September 30,
2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in Ticketing
Service revenues is the result of a $1.0 million increase in Tix4Tonight
revenues and a $103,000 increase in ancillary revenues i.e. the sale of dinner
reservations and tee times, offset by a $310,000 decline in premium ticket
revenues. Revenues earned through Tix4Members were not meaningful.
 
 Tix4Tonight:
 
 Tix4Tonight
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $4.2
million and $3.2 million, which is an increase of $1.0 million or 32% in 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008. The increase reflects a greater demand for
discount tickets as well as an increase in the average selling price per ticket
in 2009 as compared to 2008. The average selling price per ticket in 2009 was
$56.73 per ticket, which represented an increase of $7.06 per ticket or 14% as
compared to $49.67 per ticket in 2008. Tix4Tonight discount tickets sold
increased by 61,000 tickets or 22% to 344,000 discounted show tickets for the
three months ended September 30, 2009. The gross sales value of show tickets
sold to customers plus commissions and fees earned were $19.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared
to $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, or a
39% increase. Lastly, during the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenues
from miscellaneous sources of income including discount golf, and dinner
reservations increased by $103,000, to $352,000 or 41%.
  AnyEvent:
 
 AnyEvent
sells premium tickets to concerts, theatre shows and sporting events. AnyEvent’s
revenues are dependent in part on sporting events and special concerts
occurring, such as boxing matches and reunion tours, as well as our ability to
obtain tickets to these events. AnyEvent revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $26,000 and $336,000 respectively. The $310,000
decline in revenues is primarily the result of an overall decline in demand for
premium tickets due to an overall economic malaise, which has led to a decline
in discretionary spending. Management expects that AnyEvent’s revenues will
decline in 2009 as compared to 2008, but expects its net income to be greater
with the reduction of risk and a more measured approach in participating in the
sale and distribution of premium tickets to concerts, theatre shows and sporting
events.
 
 Tix4Members:
 
 Tix4Members.com
is our internet based ticketing operation that was launched in February 2009 in
conjunction with Costco Wholesale Corporation (Costco). However, revenues from
the Costco arrangement have been minimal. As a result, we have elected to
provide notice of termination of the Costco arrangement. The Company believes in
this strategy of selling discount tickets to concerts, live theater and sporting
events to membership group members through co-branded websites and continues to
seek additional partners. Tix4Members sells As with our Tix4Tonight operation in
Las Vegas, Tix4Members.com offers a marketing channel for producers, presenters,
artists, arenas and theaters nationwide to take advantage of our strong position
in the discounted ticket sales and live entertainment industry. Tix4Members.com
operates in a manner similar to Tix4Tonight with a few key differences. Instead
of relying on physical ticket booth facilities for direct sales, Tix4Members
uses the internet as its customer interface, and instead of offering only
discounted day of show tickets, it has expanded the date range of its ticket
availability of discount tickets to concerts, theatre shows and sporting events.
Tix4Members’ revenues are dependent in part on sporting events and special
concerts occurring, such as boxing matches and reunion tours, as well as our
ability to obtain tickets to these events. Tix4Members revenues for the three
months ended September 30, 2009 were not meaningful.

increase in direct operating expenses of $140,000 or 10%, which is reflective of
a 22% increase in revenues.  The direct operating expenses for the

  Nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
 
 Revenues
 
 Ticketing
Services revenues were $13.4 million and $10.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our revenues increased $3.3 million,
or 32%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same
period of the prior year. The increase in Ticketing Service revenues is the
result of a $3.8 million increase in Tix4Tonight revenues and a $300,000
increase in ancillary revenues i.e. the sale of dinner reservations and tee
times, offset by a $800,000 decline in premium ticket revenues. Revenues earned
through Tix4Members were not meaningful.
 
 Tix4Tonight:
 
 Tix4Tonight
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $12.1
million and $8.3 million, which is an increase of $3.8 million or 53% in 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008. The increase reflects a greater demand for
discount tickets as well as an increase in the average selling price per ticket
in 2009 as compared to 2008. The average selling price per ticket in 2009 was
$56.48 per ticket, which represented an increase of $7.09 per ticket or 14% as
compared to $49.39 per ticket in 2008. Tix4Tonight discount tickets sold
increased by 245,000 tickets or 32% to 1,003,000 discounted show tickets for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009. The gross sales value of show tickets sold
to customers plus commissions and fees earned were $56.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $37.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, or a 51% increase.
Lastly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenues from
miscellaneous sources of income including discount golf, and dinner reservations
increased by $300,000, to $983,000 or 44%.
 
 AnyEvent:
 
 AnyEvent
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $281,000 and
$1.1 million respectively. The $800,000 or 74% decline in revenues is primarily
the result of an overall decline in demand for premium tickets due to an overall
economic malaise, which has led to a decline in discretionary spending. As a
result of this change, we are assuming less risk and have been able to reduce
our overhead and increase the likelihood of profitability. Management expects
that AnyEvent’s revenues will decline in 2009 as compared to 2008, but expects
its net income to be greater with the reduction of risk and a more measured
approach in participating in the sale and distribution of premium tickets to
concerts, theatre shows and sporting events.

marketing channel for producers, presenters, artists, arenas and theaters
nationwide to take advantage of our strong position in the discounted ticket
sales and live entertainment industry. Tix4Members.com operates in a manner
similar to Tix4Tonight with a few key differences. Instead of relying on
physical ticket booth facilities for direct sales, Tix4Members uses the internet
as its customer interface, and instead of offering only deeply discounted day of
show tickets, it has expanded the date range of its ticket availability of
discount tickets to concerts, theatre shows and sporting events. Tix4Members’
revenues are dependent in part on sporting events and special concerts
occurring, such as boxing matches and reunion tours, as well as our ability to
obtain tickets to these events. Tix4Members revenues for the nine months ended

 Direct
Operating Expenses
 
 Direct
operating expenses include payroll and related costs, rents, and cost of tickets
sold. Direct Costs of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 were $4.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, which represented an
increase in direct operating expenses of $593,000 or 14%, which was the result
of 32% increase in revenues. The increase in direct operating expenses was
the result of a $761,000 increase in rent and a $535,000 increase in employee
related expense, which were offset in part by a $623,000 decline in direct
operating costs associated with our premium ticket business. The increase in
rent expense was the result of a $330,000 increase as a result of new ticket
outlets on the Las Vegas strip, $218,000 annual rent increases and a $183,000
increase in bonus rents. Employee related expenses increased 30% to $535,000
which is consistent with the 32% increase in discount show tickets sold.
Offsetting the increase in direct operating expenses at our discount ticketing
operations was a $623,000 decline in direct operating expenses at our premium
tickets operations, which is consistent with the $800,000 or 74% decline in its
revenue. The direct operating expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008, as a percentage of revenues were 36% and 42%,
respectively.  The decline in direct operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues in 2009 as compared to 2008 is reflective of the fixed
nature of these expenses.

 Three
Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
 
 Revenues
 
 EM
provides retail specialty stores for touring museum exhibitions and touring
theatrical productions. EM provides a complete turn-key retail store with
commercially available and extensive custom-branded product for sale. It
operates the stores in space rented in conjunction with the exhibit. During the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, EM generated $2.3 million
and $2.4 million in revenues, respectively. Revenue is derived from the
Company’s retail outlets associated with the sale of merchandise related to
touring exhibits, primarily derived from “Tutankhamun and The Golden Age of the
Pharaohs.” EM is subject to revenue fluctuations as a result of the exhibits
that it represents moving from one location to another. The move of an exhibit
from one location to another generally results in the exhibit being closed from
four to six weeks. The length of time an exhibit is closed is dependent upon the
type of exhibit, the distance the exhibit is to be shipped, as well as any
special needs that may be required in re-setting the exhibit. “Tutankhamun and
The Golden Age of the Pharaohs” and “Tutankhamun the Golden King and the Great
Pharaohs” are currently booked in museums through July 2011 and December 2012,
respectively. During the third quarter of 2009, although there was a 46%
increase in attendance to the exhibits, there was a 35% decrease in revenue per
attendee. The decline in revenues per attendee is the result of generally poor
economic conditions, as well as a competing store at one of the exhibit
locations, which management believes resulted in a $134,000 decline in
revenues.
 
 Direct
Operating Expenses
 
 EM’s
operating expenses include payroll and related costs, rents, and cost of goods
sold. Direct operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008 were $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively and as a percent of
revenues were 58%.
  29
 Selling,
Marketing and Administrative Expenses
 
 EM’s
selling, marketing and administrative expenses include advertising and
promotional costs related to our business activities, as well as the
segment’s cost of management. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, EM’s selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $524,000 or 23%
of revenues and $827,000 or 34% of revenues, respectively. The decline in
selling, marketing and administrative expenses reflects the lower cost of
operating domestic stores as compared to operating stores abroad.  In
2009, the exhibits for which EM provides merchandising services were all
domestic shows, whereas in 2008, all of the shows were located
abroad.
 
 Depreciation
and Amortization
 
 Depreciation
and amortization expense incurred during the three months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 was $295,000 and $796,000, respectively, and relates primarily to
the amortization of the intangible assets that were created as a result of EM
being acquired in August 2007. The decrease in amortization expense relates to
the $7.7 million impairment of intangible assets we recorded at December 31,
2008, thereby reducing the annual amortization charge by approximately $2.0
million or $500,000 quarterly. We expect the current level of depreciation and
amortization to continue through 2010.
 
 Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
 
 Revenues
 
 During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, EM generated $7.4
million and $8.5 million in revenues, respectively. Revenue is derived from the
Company’s retail outlets associated with the sale of merchandise related to
touring exhibits, primarily derived from “Tutankhamun and The Golden Age of the
Pharaohs.” EM is subject to revenue fluctuations as a result of the exhibits
that it represents moving from one location to another. The move of an exhibit
from one location to another generally results in the exhibit being closed from
four to six weeks. The length of time an exhibit is closed is dependent upon the
type of exhibit, the distance the exhibit is to be shipped, as well as any
special needs that may be required in re-setting the exhibit. “Tutankhamun and
The Golden Age of the Pharaohs” and “Tutankhamun the Golden King and the Great
Pharaohs” are currently booked in museums through July 2011 and December 2012,
respectively. The $1.1 million decline in revenues during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 is due to the move of the exhibit, “Tutankhamun and The
Golden Age of the Pharaohs” from Dallas to San Francisco which caused the
exhibit to be closed for approximately 45 days as compared to a closure of
approximately 30 days in 2008; as a result, visitor attendance declined 25% for
this exhibit. Although there was an overall 7% increase in visitor attendance at
the exhibits, there was an 18% decline in revenues per attendee. The decline in
revenues per attendee is due to generally poor economic conditions as well as a
competing store at one of the exhibit locations.
 
 Direct
Operating Expenses
 
 EM’s
operating expenses include payroll and related costs, rents, and cost of goods
sold. Direct operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 were $4.4 million and $5.1 million, respectively and were 60% of
revenues.
 
 Selling,
Marketing and Administrative Expenses
 
 EM’s
selling, marketing and administrative expenses include advertising and
promotional costs related to our business activities, as well as the
segment’s cost of management. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, EM’s selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $1.8 million or
24% of revenues and $2.9 million or 34% of revenues, respectively. The decline
in selling, marketing and administrative expenses reflect the lower cost of
operating domestic stores as compared to operating stores abroad.  In
2009, the exhibits for which EM provides merchandising services were all
domestic shows, whereas in 2008, all of the shows were located
abroad.

2009 and 2008 was $888,000 and $2.4 million, respectively, and relates primarily
to the amortization of the intangible assets that were created as a result of EM
being acquired in August 2007. The decrease in amortization expense relates to
the $7.7 million impairment of intangible assets we recorded at December 31,
2008, thereby reducing the annual amortization charge by approximately $2.0
million or $500,000 quarterly. We expect the current level of depreciation and
amortization to continue through 2010.

 Tix
Productions, Inc., the Company’s Live Entertainment segment, does business under
the names Magic Arts & Entertainment (Magic) and NewSpace Entertainment
(NewSpace). We acquired Magic and NewSpace operations effective January 2, 2008.
Both Magic and NewSpace are independent presenters and producers of live theater
and concerts with a history of working together. Combining the operations of
these two companies under a single entity, we have better leveraged our
resources, and gained operating efficiencies.
  As a live
entertainment presenter, we book touring theatrical and concert presentations
with a history of successful commercial appeal as well as participate in the
development and roll out of new theatrical and concert presentations often
originating on Broadway in New York or the West End in London. We use a
wide variety of marketing channels to sell tickets to these programs including
our substantial subscriber-based businesses in eleven US cities, our Salt Lake
City based group and corporate sales team, standard marketing tools including
print, radio, television, outdoor and, most recently we have been developing new
e-marketing tools. In addition, we invest in shows or productions in advance of
their initial tour to obtain favorable touring and distribution
rights.
  Three
Months Ended September 30, 2009:
 
 Revenues
 
 During
the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, revenues from our Live
Entertainment operations were $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The
$157,000 decrease in revenues is due to several factors including:
 
 ·
              In the third quarter of 2009, we
      presented or produced 6 show dates as compared to 16 show dates in the
      third quarter of 2008. The decrease in revenues attributable to the 62%
      decline in the number of shows produced and related revenues was offset in
      part in 2009 by several shows being presented in arenas where ticket
      prices and number of attendees are greater than the community theaters,
      where many of our shows generally play. As a result of these arena plays,
      our show revenues declined only 6% to $2.5 million in 2009, as compared to
      $2.7 million in 2008.
 
 ·
              In 2008, tours of live
      entertainment companies began earlier and later in the year to avoid the
      presidential campaign season (July through October) when advertising
      prices were at their highest and audience attention at its lowest. As a
      result, Live Entertainment revenues in 2008 were higher than normal for
      the first and fourth quarters and lower than normal in the second quarter.
      The
      third quarter is our live entertainment segment’s weakest quarter as a
      result of live theater seasons ending in June and starting in October.In addition, in 2008, many productions that Tix was associated with
      toured Canada during the election cycle which, due to a strong Canadian
      dollar and economy, resulted in unusually strong profits. These combined
      factors resulted in an unusually large number of productions in the first
      and fourth quarters that under normal circumstances would have naturally
      fallen in the second or third
quarters.
 
 Revenues
from live entertainment are a function of a number of elements: tickets sold,
ticket prices and ancillary revenue streams including sponsorships and revenues
generated through premium ticketing opportunities.  In instances where the
Company acts as the primary obligor with suppliers, assumes credit risk, directs
the pricing of the tickets and purchases the advertising, the Company records
these revenues at gross. In other instances where we only receive a fee and are
not the principal obligors to vendors, we record these revenues at net. It is
management’s belief that this is consistent with the authoritative guidance
provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Revenues from our Live
Entertainment operations are seasonal with the first and fourth quarters being
traditionally the strongest.
 
 Opportunities
for growth in the Live Entertainment unit revolve around our expanding ownership
of intellectual content, for example our producing role in the new “101
Dalmatians-The Musical” project and “American Idiot”, which gives us first
rights to present these shows and provides us the ability to direct ticket sales
and branded merchandising to our other operating segments. In addition, we see
growth opportunities to present in major marketplaces where competition has
diminished due to industry consolidation such as Detroit and Milwaukee, and even
more opportunities in smaller markets where individual promoters and competitors
have left the market.
  31
  Direct
Operating Expenses
 
 During
the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, direct operating expenses
were $2.4 million and $2.3 million and represented 95% and 84% of revenues,
respectively. The higher direct operating cost as a percentage of revenues
reflects the greater number of tickets that have been discounted in 2009 as
compared to 2008, as a strategic response to lower demand due to the poor
economic climate. Expenses that are direct operating expenses include the show
guarantees, profit sharing and royalties paid directly to the touring
productions; direct expenses of the theater which include staffing, rent and box
office charges; marketing costs and production costs which include equipment
rentals, stagehands and the cost of our production and settlement manager to
attend the production. Live Entertainment productions typically have large
back-end sharing relationships with the productions involved and, as a result,
significant increases in presentation revenue do not typically result in
comparable increases in operating income as much of that goes to the production
at hand. On the other hand, significant decreases in presentation revenue do
have a comparable impact on operating income as the largest burden of risk in
these presentations lies with the promoter. In instances where the Company acts
as the primary obligor with suppliers, assumes credit risk, directs the pricing
of the tickets and purchases the advertising, the Company records these expenses
at gross.
  Selling,
Marketing and Administrative Expenses
 
 Live
Entertainment’s selling, marketing and administrative expenses include
advertising and promotional costs related to its business activities, as well as
the segment cost of management. For the three months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, Live Entertainment’s administrative expenses were $741,000 or 29% of
revenues, and $695,000 or 26% of revenues, respectively.
  Depreciation
and Amortization
 
 Depreciation
and amortization expense incurred during the three months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 was $196,000 and $235,000, and primarily relates to amortization
of the intangible assets that resulted from the acquisitions of Magic and
NewSpace. We expect to incur a similar level of depreciation and amortization
for the remainder of 2009.
 
 Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2009:
 
 Revenues
 
 During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, revenues from our Live
Entertainment operations were $35.3 million and $30.2 million, respectively. The
$5.1 million increase in revenues is due to several factors
including:
 
 ·
              During the nine months ended
      September 30, 2009, we presented or produced 396 show dates as compared to
      391 show dates in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition,
      several shows that were presented in 2009 were in arenas where ticket
      prices and number of attendees are greater than the community theaters,
      where many shows generally play. As a result of these, our show revenues
      increased by $5.1 million.

 During

were $32.4 million and $24.8 million and represented 92% and 82% of revenues,
respectively. The higher direct operating cost as a percentage of revenues

 Live
Entertainment’s selling, marketing and administrative expenses include
advertising and promotional costs related to its business activities, as well as
the segment cost of management. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, Live Entertainment’s administrative expenses were $3.1 million or 9% of
revenues, and $4.2 million or 14% of revenues, respectively.
  Depreciation
and Amortization
 
 Depreciation
and amortization expense incurred during the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 was $591,000 and $609,000, and primarily relates to amortization
of the intangible assets that resulted from the acquisitions of Magic and
NewSpace. We expect to incur a similar level of depreciation and amortization
for the remainder of 2009.
 
 Liquidity
and Capital Resources:
  At
September 30, 2009, we had cash of $10.1 million and total assets of
$30.7 million compared to $9.2 million and $28.8 million,
respectively, at December 31, 2008. Our working capital totaled $9.4
million at September 30, 2009, compared to $8.0 million at December 31, 2008. We
had no debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended
December 31, 2008.
 
 Our
working capital requirements and capital for our general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions and capital expenditures, are funded from operations or
from the selling of equity securities and to a much lesser extent upon proceeds
received upon the exercise of options and warrants. We will need to incur debt
or issue equity to make other strategic acquisitions. We currently do not have
any lines of credit available to us. We have no commitments from third parties
to provide us with any additional future financing, and may not be able to
obtain future financing on favorable terms.
 
 We
generally receive cash related to the sale of discount tickets and merchandise
at the time of purchase and for Live Entertainment at the time of the settlement
of revenues and expenses of the show, which is generally on the last date of the
show. In certain instances, but not all, the sale of premium tickets occurs
before the event. In these instances, the sale is recorded as deferred revenue
until the event occurs. We pay the majority of event related expenses at the
time of or after the event occurs.
 
 Our
revenues and cash fluctuate based upon the seasonality of our various
businesses. Examples of seasonality of our businesses include Ticketing
Services, which reports slightly greater revenues in the third and fourth
quarters than those reported in the first half of the year. Our Live
Entertainment segment expects to record the majority of its revenues in the
fourth quarter. Exhibit Merchandising and AnyEvent are not subject to seasonal
fluctuation. Exhibit Merchandising is subject to revenue fluctuations as a
result of exhibits that it represents moving from one location to another.
Moving an exhibit from one location to another generally results in the exhibit
being closed from four to six weeks. The length of time an exhibit is closed is
dependent upon the type of exhibit, the distance the exhibit is to be shipped,
as well as any special needs that may be required in re-setting the exhibit.
AnyEvent revenues are not subject to seasonal fluctuation, but depend on our
ability to obtain tickets for events. We expect cash flows from operations and
other financing alternatives, to satisfy working capital, and capital
expenditures for at least the succeeding year.

  Cash
provided by operating activities declined $1.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. The decline in cash provided from operating
activities is the result of $2.5 million increase in net income net of tax,
which was offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in non-cash charges, and a $1.5
million decrease in working capital charges. The decline in non-cash charges for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same period of
2008, is primarily attributable to a $2.0 million decline in amortization of
intangible expenses. The decline is the result of our write-off of intangible
assets related to Exhibit Merchandising in 2008. These increases were offset by
a $1.5 million decline in working capital. Items contributing to the
decline in working capital were $1.6 million increase in advances to vendors and
$1.8 million in additional capitalized theatrical costs, which was offset in
part by a $1.2 million decrease in inventory. The remaining $700,000 difference
in working capital items is due to small differences in several smaller
accounts.

  For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, net purchases of property,
plant and equipment accounted for minor cash outlays. We expect purchase of
property, plant and equipment to be an insignificant portion of our cash flow
activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we used $3.2
million in cash to fund the acquisitions of Magic Arts & Entertainment and
NewSpace Entertainment, for which there is no corresponding transaction in the
nine months ended September 30, 2009.

  Summary
 
 Our
primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital
requirements while our long-term liquidity needs are primarily acquisition
related. Our primary source of funds for our short-term needs will be cash flows
from operations, while our long-term sources of funds will be from operations
and debt or equity financing. We have sufficient cash on hand and are generating
sufficient cash from operations to meet our current operating
needs.
 
 Earnings
before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization or
EBITDA:
 
 The
following includes the financial measure of performance earnings before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, that is a
commonly used measure of performance in the entertainment industry. EBITDA is
not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in United States of America or GAAP. Management has
historically evaluated the operating performance of management of Tix
Productions, Tix4AnyEvent and Exhibit Merchandising based upon this non-GAAP
measure.
 
 EBITDA is
presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because (1) management believes it
enhances an overall understanding of its past and current performance; (2)
management believes it is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating
performance of the business in comparison to other entertainment businesses
since EBITDA excludes certain items that may not be indicative of management’s
operating results; (3) measures that are comparable to EBITDA are often used as
an important basis for the valuation of entertainment companies; and (4)
management uses EBITDA internally to evaluate its operating performance in
comparison to its competitors.
 
 The use
of EBITDA has certain limitations. EBITDA should be considered in addition to,
not as a substitute for or superior to any GAAP financial measure including net
income as an indicator of management’s performance, or cash flows provided by
operating activities as an indicator of the Company’s liquidity, nor should it
be considered as an indicator of management’s overall performance. Management’s
calculation of EBITDA may be different from the calculation of EBITDA or other
similarly titled measurements used by other entertainment companies, and
therefore comparability may be limited. EBITDA eliminates certain substantial
recurring items from net income, such as depreciation, amortization, interest
expense and income taxes. Each of these items has been incurred in the past,
will continue to be incurred in the future and should be considered in the
overall evaluation of the Company’s results. We compensate for these limitations
by providing the relevant disclosure of depreciation and amortization, interest
expense and income taxes that are excluded in the calculation of EBITDA both in
the reconciliation to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) and in the
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, all of which should be
considered when evaluating the Company’s results. Management strongly encourages
readers to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a
single measure. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss)
follows:

 The
Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters in Studio City,
California. Additionally, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tix4Tonight,
LLC, Tix Productions, LLC and Exhibit Merchandising, lease space. Tix4Tonight
leases its six ticket facilities and its administrative offices in Las Vegas,
Nevada, for various periods ranging from one year to five years. Tix Production,
LLC leases office space in Salt Lake City, Utah and Aurora, Ohio. Exhibit
Merchandising leases warehouse and office space in Streetsboro,

  Many of
the Company’s operating leases contain predetermined fixed increases in the
minimum rental rate during the initial lease term and/or rent holiday periods.
For these leases, the Company recognizes the related rent expense on a
straight-line basis beginning on the effective date of the lease.  The
Company records the difference between the amounts charged to expense and the
rent paid as deferred rent on the Company’s balance sheet.
 
 The
aggregate minimum future rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases
for facilities in operation at September 30, 2009, excluding operating expenses,
annual rent escalation provisions, and contingent rental payments based on
achieving certain pre-determined sales levels, are as follows:

  Employment
Agreements:
  The
Company has employment agreements with its President and Chief Executive
Officer, as well as several of its key officers and employees that are for
varying periods of one to three years.
 
 Retirement
Plan:
 
 The
Company has a 401(k) retirement plan which covers substantially all employees.
Under the plan, participants may defer the receipt of up to 75% percent of their
annual compensation, but not to exceed the maximum amount as determined by the
Internal Revenue Code. The amount of the employer matching contribution is equal
to 100% of the first 3% withheld and 50% for the next 2% withheld. The Company
may make additional matching contributions as determined and approved by the
Board of Directors. Total 401(k) retirement plan expense amounted to $108,000
and $86,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
  ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
  As
substantially all of our investments are in short-term bank deposits, our
exposure to market risk is limited primarily to interest income sensitivity,
which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. The
primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal. Due to
the nature of our short-term investments, we believe that we are not subject to
any material market risk exposure. We do not have any derivative financial
instruments or foreign currency instruments. If interest rates had varied by 10%
in the three- or nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, it would not have
had a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows for that
period.
  ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined  in  Rules  13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the  Exchange  Act (defined  below)).
Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this
report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
 
 Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further,
the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Accordingly, management
believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in
all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented.
 
 Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
 In
addition, our management with the participation of our Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that no change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules
13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred
during or subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

  On March
15, 2009, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an
agreement with a consultant for services rendered. Should the agreement be
terminated by the company during the first six months, any unvested shares will
be returned to the company. Therefore, the shares of common stock are recorded
as general and administrative expense at their fair market value as they vest
monthly over the six month agreement. The shares were issued in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, pursuant to Section 4(2).
